Its Form 20-F and Form 6-K disclosures cover consolidated operating results prepared under Korean International Financial Reporting Standards, annual business results, internal control over financial reporting, external auditor matters and recurring earnings-release communications.
The filings also record board and shareholder actions, including cash dividends, corporate value-up and shareholder-return policies, capital reserve matters, amendments to articles of incorporation, director and audit committee elections, ownership changes by large shareholders and changes in shareholdings related to Jeju Bank. These disclosures frame SHG’s capital management, governance and subsidiary ownership alongside its banking, card, securities, insurance, credit and asset management operations.
Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. has set February 20, 2026 as the record date for its annual cash dividend for fiscal year 2025, as provided under Article 59 of its Articles of Incorporation. Shareholders recorded on that date will be eligible to receive the annual cash dividend once it is determined and approved.
Shinhan Financial Group reported preliminary 2025 results showing solid full-year growth but a weaker fourth quarter. On a consolidated basis, revenue was KRW 64,681,960 million, down 12.67%, while net income rose 11.55% to KRW 5,084,519 million, helped by higher operating income and pre-tax profit.
Fourth-quarter net income was KRW 538,049 million, down sharply from the prior quarter but up 24.00% year over year. Shinhan Bank saw 2025 revenue decline 17.29% to KRW 39,167,414 million, yet net income increased 2.16% to KRW 3,775,822 million, mainly from higher interest income on larger loan assets.
Shinhan Card faced pressure, with 2025 net income down 16.52% to KRW 480,205 million as interest expenses rose, while Shinhan Life delivered higher revenue but slightly lower annual net income and a small loss in 4Q 2025. The board declared a 4Q 2025 cash dividend of KRW 880 per common share at the group level, for a total of KRW 417,695,836,800, bringing the annual dividend to KRW 2,590 per share (KRW 1,245.9 billion in total), all subject to audit completion and shareholder approval.
Shinhan Financial Group is amending its earlier share cancellation notice after completing a share repurchase program on January 30, 2026. The group now plans to cancel 10,840,573 common shares, with an estimated book-value amount of KRW 799,999,984,300.
The cancellation is scheduled for February 6, 2026, although this date may change based on discussions with related institutions. The shares are treasury shares cancelled under Article 343-1 of the Korea Commercial Act, so the paid-in capital of Shinhan Financial Group will remain unchanged.
Shinhan Financial Group ended its trust agreement for acquiring treasury shares after the contract expired on January 30, 2026. The trust, originally signed on July 31, 2025 with NH Investment & Securities, had a total contract amount of 800,000,000,000 before termination.
Upon termination, 10,840,573 treasury shares, representing 2.23% of total shares issued, are held in Shinhan Financial Group’s corporate account. The trust properties are returned as cash and treasury shares, and no separate board resolution was required under Korean regulations.
Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. reported a small decrease in the stake held by its largest shareholder, Korea’s National Pension Service (NPS).

The change is based on the shareholder registry closing as of December 31, 2025.
Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. has scheduled its FY2025 Earnings Release Conference for February 5, 2026 at 14:00 Seoul time.

Earnings presentation materials will be provided at the company’s website and YouTube channel at the time of the webcast and Q&A.
Shinhan Financial Group reported a change in its external auditor for upcoming financial years. For FY2023 to FY2025, the group has been audited by Samjong KPMG. Starting with FY2026 and continuing through FY2028, the appointed external auditor will be Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers. This change formalizes who will review and verify Shinhan Financial Group’s financial statements for those years.
Shinhan Financial Group explains how it will set the shareholder record date for its year-end dividend for fiscal year 2025. Following a March 23, 2023 amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors can now choose the dividend record date instead of using December 31 by default, and must give public notice two weeks in advance.
For the FY2025 year-end dividend, the company plans to set the record date after mid-February 2026. Only shareholders (or registered pledgees) listed in the company’s shareholder registry on that record date will be entitled to receive the FY2025 year-end dividend, even if they were shareholders on the last day of FY2025 but are no longer registered on the final record date.
Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. has announced the record date for determining which investors can vote at its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for the fiscal year 2025. Under its Articles of Incorporation, shareholders listed in the company’s shareholder registry as of December 31, 2025 will be entitled to exercise their rights at the meeting. Holders of the company’s common shares, as well as holders of its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), as of that same date will be able to vote. If December 31 is a holiday, the last business day of fiscal year 2025 will serve as the record date.
Shinhan Financial Group reported that its subsidiary Shinhan Life Insurance resolved to acquire an equity stake in Athora Holding Ltd. Shinhan Life plans to participate in a capital increase of Athora Holding so that it will hold an approximately 1% equity interest after the transaction.
The acquisition price is set at EUR 115,000,000, and the stake will be acquired in cash. The stated purpose of this investment is for general investment purposes, indicating a strategic financial holding in Athora rather than an operating acquisition.
