AI memory boom powers SK hynix (SKHY) to 76% margin in Q2 2026
SK hynix Inc. reports an exceptional first half of 2026, driven by an AI-led memory super-cycle. Consolidated revenue reached Won 131.9 trillion, already far exceeding full-year 2025 levels, with operating profit of Won 98.2 trillion and profit attributable to owners of Won 134.2 trillion. Second-quarter 2026 revenue was Won 79.3 trillion, up 51% quarter-on-quarter and 257% year-on-year, while operating profit of Won 60.5 trillion produced a record 76% margin.
Balance sheet strength improved sharply, with total assets of Won 348.9 trillion and equity attributable to owners of Won 262.4 trillion as of June 30, 2026.

Semiconductors are categorized into memory semiconductors and system semiconductors.
| a. | Memory semiconductors |
Memory semiconductors, which serve the function of storing and retaining information, are generally categorized as either “volatile” or “non-volatile.” Volatile memory products lose stored information when the power supply is disconnected, whereas non-volatile products retain stored information even when the power supply is disconnected, similar to how telephone numbers remain saved in a mobile phone. The Company produces DRAM, a volatile memory, and flash memory, a non-volatile memory. The memory semiconductor industry is one in which securing cost competitiveness through product design technology, process refinement and enhanced investment efficiency are of critical importance. The industry is progressively becoming an oligopoly dominated by a small number of integrated device manufacturer (“IDM”) companies that possess both technological capabilities and cost competitiveness.
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). DRAM is a volatile memory product that retains information only while the power supply is on. It is primarily used as main memory in computers and as graphics memory for video and 3D gaming applications. With the digitalization of consumer electronics, its use has also expanded to smart TVs, smart refrigerators, printers and other devices. Furthermore, adoption of premium DRAM products is surging rapidly in response to growing AI demand, and server DRAM demand is also expected to be sustained as investments in data centers continue globally.
Flash Memory. Flash memory is a non-volatile memory product capable of retaining stored data even when the power supply is disconnected. It is broadly divided into NOR-type (code storage) and NAND-type (data storage). Among these, NAND flash, which the Company produces, is a non-volatile memory chip that supports sequential information access and is well suited for the stable storage of various types of information. NAND flash is used in digital storage devices such as USB drives and solid state drives (“SSDs”), as well as in automotive navigation systems, digital cameras, smartphones, tablet personal computers (“PCs”) and other mobile devices, and in data centers. Meanwhile, demand for flash memory has recently been shifting from general-purpose memory towards more customer-oriented products, and accordingly, the importance of proactive application product development and product collaboration with customers that align with this trend has been growing.
| b. | System semiconductors |
System semiconductors are semiconductors manufactured for the purpose of information processing. They are classified by their characteristics into analog, logic, micro, discrete and sensor categories. Among these, the Company previously produced CIS. In March 2025, the Company decided to transition its CIS business division to the AI memory sector.
| (2) | Growth potential |
The semiconductor industry is responding to rapid market changes through technological innovation and has established itself as a core element not only in electronic products used in daily life but also in advanced new industry sectors such as AI, Internet-of-Things (“IoT”), autonomous driving and biotechnology. Accordingly, the scope of semiconductor applications is expanding across diverse industry sectors, and sustained market growth is expected in tandem with the advancement of new technologies.
In 2022, market conditions deteriorated from the second half of the year due to geopolitical crises, global supply chain issues, and concerns over an economic recession triggered by global interest rate hikes, resulting in the semiconductor market recording growth of only 1.1%, while the memory semicondutor market contracted by 13.7%. In 2023, semiconductor exports experienced an unprecedented downturn as internal and external uncertainties persisted, including global supply chain instability and a slowdown in global economic growth. The semiconductor market in 2023 exhibited negative growth, with the overall semiconductor market declining by 11.7% and the memory market declining by 35.8%, attributable to decreased demand for IT products such as PCs and mobile devices and falling prices amid elevated industry memory inventory levels. In 2024, demand for electronic products, which had been sluggish, recovered, and the AI market began to flourish in earnest, with demand expanding primarily for high-performance and high-capacity memory, resulting in growth of 21.0% for the semiconductor market and 73.4% for the memory semicondutor market. In 2025, the semiconductor industry recovery trend that had begun in earnest the previous year continued, with strong growth driven primarily by increased demand from the expansion of AI-based infrastructure, as the semiconductor market recorded growth of 23.0% and the memory semicondutor market recorded growth of 37.8%. In 2026, the expansion of AI infrastructure investment and the increase in data center demand are expected to continue, sustaining the growth trajectory of the semiconductor market, and the memory semicondutor market is expected to maintain a solid growth trend centered on the expansion of demand for high-value-added products such as high-bandwidth memory (“HBM”) and DDR5. (Source: Gartner, June 2026)
13
DRAM. According to market research firm Gartner (Source: Gartner, June 2026), in 2022, the market recorded negative growth at US$78.7 billion (or -15.4%) due to declining demand caused by reduced mobile demand resulting from China’s lockdowns, weakened server demand driven by inventory corrections at server companies, and saturation of the PC market. In 2023, with industry memory inventory levels elevated amid global supply chain instability caused by trade conflicts and armed conflict, as well as a contraction in the global economy and consumer sentiment, IT product demand declined sharply. Despite the expansion of premium product sales such as HBM driven by surging AI demand, the market continued its negative growth trajectory, recording US$49.9 billion (or -36.5%). In 2024, demand that had been depressed, primarily in the general server segment, recovered, and HBM grew on the back of expanding AI demand, resulting in a significant rebound to US$91.6 billion (or +82.7%). In 2025, demand increased substantially, centred on HBM, a high performance, high capacity memory, driven by the advancement of generative AI services and the commercialization of on-device AI, with the market continuing its growth trajectory to reach US$146.9 billion (or +60.0%). In 2026, amid the continued expansion of demand for high performance memory centered on AI servers and data centers, growth is expected to continue, driven by the increase in demand for high value-added products centered on HBM and DDR5.
NAND Flash. According to market research firm Gartner (Source: Gartner, June 2026), in 2022, the market recorded negative growth at US$57.9 billion (or -12.4%) as demand across all application products weakened due to deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and declining IT product demand. In 2023, with heightened domestic and external uncertainties and continued demand weakness across all application products, the market sustained its negative growth trajectory, recording US$37.1 billion (or -35.9%). In 2024, market conditions improved as a result of supply constraints and demand recovery, and the adoption of enterprise SSD (“eSSD”), which has advantages such as low power consumption, expanded in connection with the growing AI market. NAND demand increased accordingly, recording growth of US$63.4 billion (or +71.0%), demonstrating that the benefits of AI were spreading from DRAM to NAND. In 2025, demand expanded centered on industry supply adjustments and enterprise SSDs required for AI-oriented data centers, with the market showing improvement at US$68.1 billion (or +7.0%). In 2026, eSSD demand is expected to maintain a solid growth trend due to the increase in data center storage demand driven by the expansion of AI infrastructure investment, and the expansion of demand centered on high performance and high capacity products is expected to drive market growth.
| (3) | Business cycle fluctuations |
The global semiconductor market has short product life cycles and possesses the characteristics of a capital intensive industry that requires large-scale investment for the production of new products. The semiconductor industry has experienced repeated cycles of boom and bust due to price and supply stability fluctuations caused by supply and demand imbalances, as it is difficult to adjust supply volume in a short period of time. This has been closely correlated with the macroeconomic business cycle of the United States and Europe, which comprise the major demand markets. Recently, as areas of AI application have diversified, demand for new technologies has been increasing, and as the market expands, demand volatility has been rising due to changes in market conditions such as geopolitical risks and deterioration of macroeconomic conditions.
DRAM. DRAM has been growing primarily around mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs and servers, and as demand sources have diversified into AI, data centers, automobiles and other areas, business cycle volatility has shown signs of reduction compared to the past. Meanwhile, with respect to demand seasonality, although second half demand increases driven by the back-to-school season and the Christmas season in the United States and Europe had historically been pronounced, diversification of sales markets resulting from the growth of Asian markets and the dispersion of launch timings of new smartphones has led to a partial weakening of such traditional demand seasonality in recent periods. Demand for PCs also experienced a temporary surge as remote working and video conferencing practices became established following the COVID-19 pandemic. Servers have demonstrated steady demand despite minor fluctuations in accordance with global market conditions, supported by continued investment and growth. Recently, with the growth of the AI market, demand for HBM, a high performance semiconductor capable of executing deep learning and handling high quality data, has surged. The continued growth of the IT product and services market driven by the proliferation of generative AI is expected to have a positive impact on DRAM demand.
14
NAND Flash. NAND flash has experienced rapid growth in the past, driven by increasing demand for MP3 players, memory cards and similar products. Recently, as IT devices have become smarter and higher in performance, the major applications for NAND flash have shifted to embedded multi-media card (“eMMC”), universal flash storage (“UFS”), and SSDs, in which a controller and raw NAND are combined, resulting in higher added value. In addition, these eMMC and SSD products, similar to DRAM, have begun to be installed in a wide variety of products including smartphones, tablet PCs, notebooks, PCs, servers, storage and flash arrays, and business cycle volatility is expected to decrease compared to the past. The mobile product market, including smartphones, has reached a state of saturation. However, the need for high performance and high capacity NAND is increasing due to the expansion of on-device AI adoption, and the high capacity eSSD product market is expanding due to the spillover effects of AI.
| (4) | Competitive elements |
The core competitiveness of the semiconductor business consists of (1) technology and cost competitiveness, (2) market responsiveness (customer acquisition, product portfolio) and (3) capital investment capability, among others.
Recently, as application areas have gradually become more diversified and converged away from standard products that are conducive to mass production, the paradigm of competition has been rapidly shifting from a cost competitiveness focus driven by facility investment and productivity improvement to a profitability focus driven by enhancing product value. In the past, expansion of production capacity and reduction of production costs through aggressive investment were the core competitive factors. However, the business environment has changed recently due to increased difficulty in achieving further process refinement and growing uncertainty of return on investment. Accordingly, going forward, achieving investment reduction through the advancement of production technology, as well as the development of various preceding technologies and application technologies and the development of converged application products that combine memory controllers and firmware to enhance the added value of products, will become important sources of business competitiveness. In addition, as securing through-silicon via (“TSV”) technology competitiveness in the DRAM sector, smooth early market entry for new memory products, collaboration with related technology companies for the expansion of the eMMC and SSD product markets, and customer satisfaction have all become increasingly important, marketing and customer support activities have also emerged as core competitive factors.
In addition, the ability to respond to the market by launching products that meet market demands in a timely manner and the securing of financial soundness are also becoming necessary.

| (3) | Competitive factors in the market and the Company’s competitiveness |
DRAM. The PC memory market recorded solid growth in 2025 due to a concentration of comprehensive replacement demand. Following the full-scale commencement of the replacement cycle for education and enterprise PCs that had surged during the COVID-19 pandemic, replacement demand driven by the official end of support for the Windows 10 operating system in October 2025 drove the market. In addition, as demand for high performance computing increased with the full-scale launch of AI PCs, total PC shipments in 2025 grew significantly compared to the previous year.
Although adjustments to PC shipments and a partial slowdown in demand are expected in 2026 due to the purchasing burden resulting from recent memory price increases, the emergence of AI PCs is becoming a new growth driver for the market. AI PCs require a minimum of 16GB of memory and, for high specification models, 32GB or more, and this trend of increasing DRAM capacity is expected to serve as a core factor driving the qualitative growth of the PC DRAM market going forward.
For a sustainable growth of the PC and DRAM markets going forward, the creation of a practical utilization environment is essential. Currently, the development of AI applications centered on AI agents is actively underway, and as the software ecosystem matures, demand for AI PCs is expected to further accelerate. This will drive the increase in demand for high specification and high capacity DRAM for PCs over the medium- to long-term and establish a foundation for sustainable growth of the industry.
The server memory market is sustaining structural growth as AI infrastructure investment transitions from the training stage to the inference and AI agent-based service proliferation stage. Demand for AI training servers is expected to remain solid due to increasing model sizes and enhanced multimodal support, and in the case of AI inference servers, computing resource and memory bandwidth requirements are surging due to the proliferation of chain-of-thought (“CoT”) reasoning technology for the enhancement of service performance. In addition, the full scale commercialization of AI agent-based services is expected to promote the expansion of related server infrastructure investment, leading to an increase in new data center construction and the sustained growth of server oriented memory demand.
16
As AI scaling principles extend into the inference domain, the adoption of high specification (high performance and high capacity) infrastructure is becoming essential even for general enterprises. As hybrid workload environments that perform data analysis, inference and general tasks in an integrated manner have become mainstream, demand is increasing not only for AI servers but also for general purpose (“GP”) servers for data management. Replacement demand for legacy platforms by enterprises seeking to enhance operational efficiency and reduce total cost of ownership (“TCO”) is continuing solidly, and this is serving as a factor that continually supports market growth. Furthermore, the enterprise and on-premise market is also expected to achieve high growth going forward due to demand driven by corporate private AI and country specific sovereign AI initiatives.
As AI servers become increasingly high performance, the trend of adopting high capacity memory continues to expand, and efforts to optimize product configurations by customer in consideration of memory supply constraints and cost efficiency are also being pursued in parallel. On the other hand, for GP servers, memory configuration optimization in consideration of workload and investment efficiency is expanding, and memory strategies are becoming differentiated by server type. The Company is responding to customer requirements in a timely manner with optimized products based on industry leading technology competitiveness and high performance and high capacity memory solutions applicable across AI and GP servers through close collaboration with customers and timely mass production on advanced process nodes, and is continuously strengthening its competitiveness in line with AI driven server market growth.

The Company has launched GDDR7 with improved speed and power efficiency to meet high performance and high capacity requirements, thereby strengthening its premium memory leadership.
The game console market is expected to see solid demand for memory due to the launch of replacement and new models with enhanced performance compared to existing models, and medium- to long-term demand is expected based on a stable demand base. The Company aims to establish medium- to long-term cooperative relationships with console manufacturers spanning from currently mass produced models to subsequent models and to develop constructive business.
The HBM market is driven by the increase in workloads in the AI and deep learning sectors, with HBM being installed to accelerate workstations and high performance computing (“HPC”) systems. HBM can be described as memory optimized for the AI era. In the generative AI market, new technologies capable of creating industrial value beyond the research stage are emerging and expanding into diverse applications. Over the long term, demand for high performance accelerators (GPU, fied-programmable gate array (“FPGA”) and application-specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”)) for data centers and HPC is expected to increase through the application of proprietary inference accelerators and system optimization for differentiated generative AI services. The Company is realizing time to market for HBM products and strengthening optimal ASIC development cooperation based on industry leading performance and quality through the enhancement of bandwidth and the increase in density and core die stacking layers, and is making its best efforts to lead the HBM market on this foundation.
Consumer memory is expected to see technological advancement centered on home appliances (TVs, set-top boxes, AI speakers and others) based on AI and connectivity utilization, and the Company is seeking customer purchases through the expansion of profitability focused premium (high resolution and large screen) segments, the addition of AI functions based on connectivity and the enhancement of device convenience.
Digital TV manufacturers are pursuing expandability through enhanced computing performance support, in-home activity and the installation of non-fungible token (“NFT”) trading platforms, while also seeking to achieve user convenience through differentiated value delivery via screen rotation and the enhancement of spatial efficiency. Over-the-top (“OTT”) and AI speaker producers are pursuing the development and expansion of the media market based on home connectivity. In addition, the launch of augmented reality (“AR”) and virtual reality (“VR”) devices with AI agent applications and the increase in memory products adopted in such devices are increasing, and this is expected to serve as a significant factor in medium- to long-term memory semiconductor demand. In the security sector, the overall market size is expanding amid participation by Big Tech companies. In the automotive sector, the importance of memory semicondutors is expanding alongside the application of high performance system-on-chips (“SoCs”) in accordance with the integrated digital cluster transformation of vehicle instrument panels and the advancement of infotainment system specifications. The acceleration in the adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (“ADAS”) and the advancement of autonomous driving technology are expected to drive the expansion of the medium- to long-term high capacity and high quality memory market. The Company is solidifying its market position and expanding its business through a diverse portfolio including general purpose products (DDR4 and DDR5) and low voltage and high speed products (LPDDR4 and LPDDR5) as well as specialty products (Industrial Temp, Automotive Grade and HBM) along with the provision of longevity policies.
17

2. Dividends and Others
| A. | Dividend Policy |
In November 2024, the Board of Directors approved a new shareholder return policy applicable from 2025 through 2027, which has been designed by the Company to pursue a balanced approach between strengthening financial soundness and enhancing shareholder returns, as set forth below.
The Company expects to pay a fixed dividend of Won 1,500 per share per annum (distributed in four equal quarterly installments).
The Company’s previous shareholder return policy had allocated 5% of annual free cash flow to shareholder returns. However, such funds will be prioritized for strengthening financial soundness under the current policy, but the Company expects to provide additional shareholder to the extent its financial soundness is maintained. In addition, the Company plans to consider making early partial shareholder returns if it experiences strong operating results that is expected to generate a meaningful level of free cash flow.
Applicable financial soundness criteria include conversion to a net cash inflow position and maintenance of an appropriate level of cash reserves.

| a. | Officers and employees |
Since 2023, the Company has been granting SARs to certain of its officers and employees. Each SAR corresponds to a virtual number of shares, with the cash difference between the grant price and the market price payable one year from the grant date. The rights are subject to a service-based vesting condition requiring the participant to be in active employment at the time of payout. SARs are scheduled to be settled in two separate installments.

| b. | Directors |
SARs based on total shareholder return (“TSR”) were granted to directors in 2022. A certain number of virtual shares corresponding to a fixed percentage of each grantee’s annual salary are granted. If the stock price (weighted average) as of the exercise notice date during the exercise period, together with dividends, exceeds the stock price at the time of grant, the Company delivers common shares in an amount equal to the product of the TSR appreciation, reflecting relative performance compared to peer companies, and the number of granted shares.
The SARs become exercisable for a four-year period beginning three years after the grant date, and remain valid only if the grantee satisfies a minimum service period of two years from the grant date. In addition, in the event of a bonus issue, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or similar corporate action, the number of granted shares is adjusted by applying the relevant adjustment ratio.

| (3) | PSU (Performance Shared Unit) |
Since 2023, pursuant to applicable resolutions of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee, the Company has been granting PSUs to certain of its officers and employees. Each year, the Company grants a number of PSUs corresponding to a fixed percentage of the grantee’s annual salary, with grantees able to elect either an annual or quarterly grant calculation cycle. After a three-year vesting period, the PSUs settle in cash or common shares based on the achievement of performance targets tied to the Company’s absolute share price appreciation, as adjusted for its relative share price performance against the KOSPI 200 Index. In the case of exceptional performance, grantees may receive additional shares of up to 100% of the number of shares initially subject to the PSU award. If the grantee’s employment with the Company’s is terminated within two years of January 1 of the year the PSUs were granted, the PSUs are forfeited. The number of shares granted is subject to adjustments in cases of certain events including capital increases, stock splits, reverse stock splits and distribution of stock dividends.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
SK hynix Inc.
Reviewed Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of SK hynix Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2026, the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the condensed consolidated interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and notes comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal controls as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our reviews.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Security and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information consists principally of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting.
1
Other Matters
The consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this review report, were audited by us in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing, and our report thereon, dated March 4, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us from which it was derived in all material respects.
The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such condensed consolidated interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language financial statements.
The Group’s consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, have been prepared in accordance with Korean IFRS 1034 Interim Financial Reporting.

The Group has applied the following new and amended IFRS Standards or interpretations that are effective from January 1, 2026.
(a) Amendments to Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments and Korean IFRS 1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
Disclosure requirements have been amended to respond to recent questions arising in practice, and to include new requirements. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the consolidated interim financial statements.
| | Clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system. |
| | Clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion. |
| | Add new disclosures of impact on the entity and the extent to which the entity is exposed for each type of financial instruments if the timing or amount of contractual cash flow changes due to amendment of contract term. |

(c) Amendments to Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments and Korean IFRS 1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures—Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity
Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity are defined contracts that expose an entity to variability in the underlying amount of electricity because the source of electricity generation depends on uncontrollable natural conditions (for example, the weather). The amendments clarify that ‘contracts to buy or sell such electricity’ are assessed for eligibility under the own-use exemption.
In addition, the amendments modify hedge accounting requirements by allowing an entity to designate as the hedged item a variable nominal amount of forecast electricity transactions that reflect the nature-dependent variability of electricity and introduce additional disclosure requirements. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the consolidated interim financial statements.
| 2.1.2 | New and amended standards or interpretations not yet adopted by the Group |
The following new accounting standards and interpretations have been published and are not mandatory for June 30, 2026 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group.
(a) New Standard: Korean IFRS 1118 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
Korean IFRS 1118 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements replaces Korean IFRS 1001 Presentation of Financial Statements and includes new requirements aimed at enhancing comparability of financial performance between similar entities and providing more relevant information to users. While the amendments do not affect the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, they are expected to have an extensive impact on presentation and disclosure, including the income statement and the disclosure of management-defined performance measures.
The standard should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and earlier application is permitted. In accordance with the retrospective application requirements, comparative information for all comparative periods presented shall be restated under Korean IFRS 1118.
Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of applying the new standard on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Based on a preliminary assessment, the following potential effects have been identified.

| 2. | Material Accounting Policies, Continued |
| 2.1.2 | New and amended standards or interpretations not yet adopted by the Group, Continued |
Adoption of the standard is not expected to have an impact on the Group’s net profit or loss; however, it will require revenues and expenses in the income statements to be classified into new categories, which is expected to have an impact on the calculation and presentation of operating profit (loss). Based on a preliminary impact assessment conducted by the Group, the following items have been identified as potentially affecting operating profit (loss).
| | Exchange differences currently presented in ‘Finance Income and Finance Expenses’ outside of operating profit may need to be presented separately in the new categories, and certain foreign exchange gains and losses may be presented in operating profit (loss). |
| | The standard specifies detailed requirements for the categorization of gains and losses on derivative instruments. Such gains and losses should be presented in the same category as the income and expenses affected by the risks the derivative instruments are used to mitigate. Currently, the Group presents these gains and losses within finance income and expenses. Consequently, there may be changes to the classification of these items in the income statement. |
Applying the concept of ‘a useful structured summary’ and the enhanced principles of aggregation and disaggregation may result in changes to the line items presented in the primary financial statements. In addition, goodwill must be presented separately on the statement of financial position; therefore, the Group will present goodwill and other intangible assets as separate line items.
The requirements for disclosing material information remain unchanged; therefore, the Group does not expect significant changes to the information currently disclosed in the Notes. However, as a result of the principles of aggregation and disaggregation, the way information is grouped may change. In addition, significant new disclosures will be required for the following matters.
| | Management-defined performance measure |
| | A breakdown of line items classified by function within the operating category of the income statement into their nature (required only for specified nature expenses) |
| | Reconciliation of differences for each line item in the income statement between the amounts previously presented under Korean IFRS 1001 and the restated amounts by applying Korean IFRS 1118 for the comparative period immediately preceding the period in which this standard is first applied. |
There is a change in the presentation of interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows. Interest paid will be presented as cash flows from financing activities, and interest received as cash flows from investing activities, resulting in a change from the current presentation of cash flows from operating activities.

| 2.2 | Accounting Policies |
Material accounting policies and method of computation used in the preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those of the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the changes due to the application of amendments and enactments of standards described in Note 2.1.1 and as described below.
| 2.2.1 | Income tax expense |
Income tax expense for the interim period is recognized based on management’s best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated average annual effective income tax rate is applied to the pre-tax income for the interim period.
The Group is subject to the Global Minimum Tax (Pillar Two). The Group has not recognized additional income tax expenses in relation to Pillar Two during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and applied the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
| 3. | Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions |
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The estimates and assumptions are continuously assessed, considering historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These resulting accounting estimates may differ from the actual results.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the estimates used to determine the income tax expense.

| 6. | Financial Risk Management |
| (1) | Financial risk management |
The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the financial risk management policies and disclosures that are required in the consolidated annual financial statements; therefore, see the consolidated annual financial statements for full disclosure. There were no significant changes in risk management department and risk management policies subsequent to December 31, 2025.
| (a) | Market risk |
| (i) | Foreign exchange risk |
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, Euro, Chinese yuan and Japanese yen. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities in foreign currencies, and net investments in foreign operations.
Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2026 are as follows:

Also, as described in Note 18, the Group entered into a currency interest rate swap contract to hedge interest rate risk and currency risk of foreign currency denominated bonds and borrowings.
When the exchange rate of the functional currency for each foreign currency fluctuates by 10% as of June 30, 2026, the impact of the change in the exchange rate on profit before income tax expenses are as follows:

| (ii) | Interest rate risk |
Interest rate risk of the Group is defined as the risk that the interest expenses arising from borrowings will fluctuate due to changes in future market interest rate. The interest rate risk mainly arises through floating rate borrowings, and is partially offset by interests received from floating rate financial assets.
The Group is managing cash flow interest rate risk using floating-to-fixed cross currency interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps have an economic effect of converting floating interest borrowings into fixed interest borrowings. Generally, the Group borrows at a floating interest rate and then swaps at a fixed rate. Under the swap agreement, the Group will settle the difference between fixed interest costs and the floating interest costs calculated according to the principal agreed upon for each counterparty and specific period (mainly quarterly).
The Group is partially exposed to the risk of changing net interest costs due to changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2026. The Group has signed a
currency interest rate swap contract on floating interest rate borrowings in foreign currency amount to 117,925 million and an interest rate swap contract on floating interest rate borrowings in local currency
of W286,000 million. Therefore, the changes in interest costs subject to fluctuation of interest rates do not have an impact on the profit before income tax for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2026. W
As of June 30, 2025, if interest rates on borrowings and
financial assets had been 100 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, profit before income tax would have been 19,855 million (2025: W24,348 million)
lower/higher over the next year, mainly as a result of higher/lower net interest costs on floating-rate borrowings and interest income on floating-rate financial assets. W
| (iii) | Price risk |
The Group invests in equity and debt securities resulted from its business needs and the purpose of liquidity management. The Group’s equity and debt securities are exposed to price risk as of June 30, 2026.
| (b) | Credit risk |
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises mainly from operating and investing activities. In order to manage credit risk, the Group periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer or counterparty through the analysis of its financial information, historical transaction records and other factors, based on which the Group establishes credit limits for each customer or counterparty.

| (b) | Credit risk, Continued |
| (i) | Trade and other receivables |
For each new customer, the Group individually analyzes its credit worthiness before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. In addition, the Group is continuously managing trade and other receivables by reevaluating the customer’s credit worthiness and securing collaterals in order to limit its credit risk exposure.
The Group reviews at the end of each reporting period whether trade and other receivables are impaired and maintains credit insurance policies to manage credit risk exposure from oversea customers. The extent of the Group’s exposure to credit risk as of June 30, 2026 is equal to the carrying amount of trade and other receivables.
| (ii) | Other financial assets |
Credit risk also arises from other financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial instruments, short-term and long-term investment assets, and short-term and long-term loans mainly due to the bankruptcy of each counterparty to those financial assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk as of June 30, 2026 is the carrying amount of those financial assets. The Group deposits cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial instruments and others in several financial institutions, and transacts only with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings. Accordingly, management does not expect any significant loss from non-performance by the counterparties.
| (c) | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Group is unable to meet its short-term payment obligations on time due to deterioration of its business performance or inability to access financing. The Group forecasts its cash flow and liquidity status and sets action plans on a regular basis to manage liquidity risk proactively.
The Group invests surplus cash in interest-bearing current accounts, time deposits, and demand deposits choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts.

| (2) | Capital management |
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends to shareholders, procure and repay borrowings, issue new shares, and sell assets.

Under major borrowing contracts, the Group is obliged to comply with a certain level of debt ratio and Loan-To-Value ratio. The Group has complied with all of these conditions as of June 30, 2026.
| (3) | Fair value |
Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:
| | Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity can access at the measurement date. |
| | Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) |
| | Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) |

| (7) | Acquisition of the Intel NAND business |
In the process of obtaining a conditional business combination approval for the Intel NAND business acquisition from the Chinese competition authority (Chinese State Administration for Market Regulation) in connection with the first closing of the Intel NAND business completed during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Group was imposed with certain conditions, mainly including the obligation to maintain a reasonable pricing policy, increase production and to support the entry of third-party competitors into the Chinese eSSD market. These obligations apply for a five-year period from December 2021. After the end of this period, the Group may apply for a waiver of the conditions, and the Chinese State Administration for Market Regulation will determine whether to approve the waiver based on the competitive landscape of the Chinese eSSD market at that time.
(8) The Group entered into supplier finance arrangements. In accordance with the arrangements, when the finance providers pay the payables related to the Group’s trade and other payables to the suppliers, the Group pays the finance providers on the payment due date. In order for the finance providers pay the receivable, the Group had to have received the goods or services and approved the invoices.
If suppliers choose early collection of payment, the finance providers pay the amount before the payment due date. The Group settles the trade
and other payables with the finance providers on the payment due date. All trade and other payables subject to the supplier finance arrangements are included in trade and other payables in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial
position. As of June 30, 2026, the amount paid to suppliers under the supplier finance arrangements is 736,236 million. Meanwhile, the amount of the Group’s trade and other payables related to
supplier finance arrangements does not have a significant effect on non-cash transactions of cash and cash equivalents. W

Independent Auditors’ Review Report
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
SK hynix Inc.
Reviewed Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of SK hynix Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the condensed separate interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2026, the condensed separate interim statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the condensed separate interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and notes comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
Management’s Responsibility for the Condensed Separate Interim Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal controls as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of condensed separate interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed separate interim financial statements based on our reviews.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Security and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information consists principally of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting.
1
Other Matters
The separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the related separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this review report, were audited by us in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing, and our report thereon, dated March 4, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us from which it was derived in all material respects.
The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such condensed separate interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.

| 2. | Material Accounting Policies |
| 2.1 | Basis of Separate Interim Financial Statements Preparation |
The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“Korean IFRS”). The accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language financial statements.
The Company’s condensed separate interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean IFRS 1034 Interim Financial Reporting. These separate interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean IFRS which is effective or early adopted as of June 30, 2026.
| 2.1.1 | New and amended standards or interpretations adopted by the Company |
The Company has applied the following new and amended IFRS Standards or interpretations that are effective from January 1, 2026.
(a) Amendments to Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments and Korean IFRS 1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
Disclosure requirements have been amended to respond to recent questions arising in practice, and to include new requirements. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the separate interim financial statements.
| | Clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system. |
| | Clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion. |
| | Add new disclosures of impact on the entity and the extent to which the entity is exposed for each type of financial instruments if the timing or amount of contractual cash flow changes due to amendment of contract term. |
| | Update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). |
(b) Annual Improvements to Korean IFRS -Volume 11

| 2.1.1 | New and amended standards or interpretations adopted by the Company, Continued |
(c) Amendments to Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments and Korean IFRS 1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity
Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity are defined contracts that expose an entity to variability in the underlying amount of electricity because the source of electricity generation depends on uncontrollable natural conditions (for example, the weather). The amendments clarify that ‘contracts to buy or sell such electricity’ are assessed for eligibility under the own-use exemption.
In addition, the amendments modify hedge accounting requirements by allowing an entity to designate as the hedged item a variable nominal amount of forecast electricity transactions that reflect the nature-dependent variability of electricity and introduce additional disclosure requirements. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the separate interim financial statements.
| 2.1.2 | New and amended standards or interpretations not yet adopted by the Company |
The following new accounting standards and interpretations that have been published and are not mandatory for June 30, 2026 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Company.
(a) New Standard: Korean IFRS 1118 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
Korean IFRS 1118 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements replaces Korean IFRS 1001 Presentation of Financial Statements and includes new requirements aimed at enhancing comparability of financial performance between similar entities and providing more relevant information to users. While the amendments do not affect the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, they are expected to have an extensive impact on presentation and disclosure, including the income statement and the disclosure of management-defined performance measures.
The standard should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and earlier application is permitted. In accordance with the retrospective application requirements, comparative information for the year ended December 31, 2026, shall be restated under Korean IFRS 1118.
Management is in review for the impact of applying the new standard on the Company’s financial statements. Based on a preliminary assessment, the following potential effects have been identified.

| 2. | Material Accounting Policies, Continued |
| 2.1.2 | New and amended standards or interpretations not yet adopted by the Company, Continued |
Adoption of the standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s net profit or loss; however, it will require revenues and expenses in the income statements to be classified into new categories, which is expected to have an impact on the calculation and presentation of operating profit (loss). According to the overall impact assessment conducted by the Company, the following items have been identified as potentially affecting operating profit (loss).
| | Exchange differences currently aggregated in ‘Finance Income and Finance Expenses’ in non-operating profit may need to be presented separately in the new categories, and certain foreign exchange gains and losses may be presented under operating profit (loss). |
| | The standard specifies detailed requirements for the categorization of gains and losses on derivative instruments. Such gains and losses should be presented in the same category as the income and expenses affected by the risks the derivative instruments are used to mitigate. Currently, the Company presents these gains and losses within finance income and expenses. Consequently, there may be changes to the location of these items in the income statement. |
Applying the concept of ‘a useful structured summary’ and the enhanced principles of aggregation and disaggregation may result in changes to the line items presented in the primary financial statements. In addition, goodwill must be presented separately on the statement of financial position; therefore, the Company will present goodwill and other intangible assets as separate line items.
The requirements for disclosing material information remain unchanged; therefore, the Company does not expect significant changes to the information currently disclosed in the Notes. However, as a result of the principles of aggregation and disaggregation, the way information is grouped may change. In addition, significant new disclosures will be required for the following matters.
| | Management-defined performance measure |
| | A breakdown of line items classified by function within the operating category of the income statement into their nature (required only for specified nature expenses) |
| | Reconciliation of differences for each line item in the income statement between the amounts previously presented under Korean IFRS 1001 and the restated amounts by applying Korean IFRS 1118 for the comparative period immediately preceding the period in which this standard is first applied. |
There is a change in the presentation of interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows. Interest paid will be presented as cash flows from financing activities, and interest received as cash flows from investing activities, resulting in a change from the current presentation of cash flows from operating activities.

| 2. | Material Accounting Policies, Continued |
| 2.2 | Accounting Policies |
Material accounting policies and method of computation used in the preparation of the separate interim financial statements are consistent with those of the separate annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the changes due to the application of amendments and enactments of standards described in Note 2.1.1 and as described below.
| 2.2.1 | Income tax expense |
Income tax expense for the interim period is recognized based on management’s best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. The estimated average annual effective income tax rate is applied to the pre-tax income for the interim period.
The Company is subject to the Global Minimum Tax (Pillar Two). The Company has not recognized additional income tax expenses in relation to Pillar Two during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 and applied the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
| 3. | Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions |
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The estimates and assumptions are continuously assessed, considering historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These resulting accounting estimates may differ from the actual results.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these separate interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the separate annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the estimates used to determine the income tax expense.

| 5. | Financial Risk Management |
| (1) | Financial risk management |
The Company’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The separate interim financial statements do not include all the financial risk management policies and disclosures that are required in the separate annual financial statements; therefore, see the separate annual financial statements for full disclosure. There were no significant changes in risk management department and risk management policies subsequent to December 31, 2025.
| (a) | Market risk |
| (i) | Foreign exchange risk |
The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US dollar, Euro, Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities in foreign currencies.
Monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2026 are as follows:
| (In millions of Korean won and millions of foreign currencies) | ||||||||||||||||
| Assets | Liabilities | |||||||||||||||

Also, as described in note 17, the Company entered into a currency interest rate swap contract to hedge interest rate risk and currency risk of foreign currency denominated bonds and borrowings.
When the exchange rate of the functional currency for each foreign currency fluctuates by 10% as of June 30, 2026, the impact of the change in the exchange rate on profit before income tax expenses are as follows:

| 5. | Financial Risk Management, Continued |
| (1) | Financial risk management, Continued |
| (a) | Market risk, Continued |
| (ii) | Interest rate risk |
Interest rate risk of the Company is defined as the risk that the interest expenses arising from borrowings will fluctuate due to changes in future market interest rate. The interest rate risk mainly arises through floating rate borrowings and is partially offset by interests received from floating rate financial assets.
The Company is managing cash flow interest rate risk using floating-to-fixed cross currency interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps have an economic effect of converting floating interest borrowings into fixed interest borrowings. Generally, the Company borrows at a floating interest rate and then swaps at a fixed rate. Under the swap agreement, the Company will settle the difference between fixed interest costs and the floating interest costs calculated according to the principal agreed upon for each counterparty and specific period (mainly quarterly).
The Company is partially exposed to the risk of changing net interest costs due to changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2026. The Company has signed
a currency interest rate swap contract on floating interest rate borrowings in foreign currency amount to 96,344 million and an interest rate swap contract on floating interest rate borrowings in local
currency of W286,000 million. Therefore, the changes in interest costs subject to fluctuation of interest rates do not have an impact on the profit before income tax for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2026. W
As of June 30, 2026, if interest rates on borrowings and
financial assets had been 100 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, profit before income tax would have been 20,893 million (2025: W 24,836
million) lower/higher over the next year, mainly as a result of higher/lower net interest costs on floating-rate borrowings and interest income on floating-rate financial assets. W
| (iii) | Price risk |
The Company invests in equity and debt securities resulted from its business needs and the purpose of liquidity management. The Company’s equity and debt securities are exposed to price risk as of June 30, 2026.
| (b) | Credit risk |
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises mainly from operating and investing activities. In order to manage credit risk, the Company periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of each customer or counterparty through the analysis of its financial information, historical transaction records and other factors, based on which the Company establishes credit limits for each customer or counterparty.
| (i) | Trade and other receivables |
For each new customer, the Company individually analyzes its credit worthiness before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. In addition, the Company is continuously managing trade and other receivables by reevaluating the customer’s credit worthiness and securing collaterals in order to limit its credit risk exposure.
The Company reviews at the end of each reporting period whether trade and other receivables are impaired and enters into credit insurance contracts to manage credit risk exposure from oversea customers. The extent of the Company’s exposure to credit risk as of June 30, 2026 is equal to the carrying amount of trade and other receivables.

| (1) | Financial risk management, Continued |
| (b) | Credit risk, Continued |
| (ii) | Other financial assets |
Credit risk also arises from other financial assets such as cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial instruments, short-term investment assets, and short-term and long-term loans mainly due to the bankruptcy of each counterparty to those financial assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk as of June 30, 2026 is the carrying amount of those financial assets. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial instruments and others in several financial institutions, and transacts only with banks and financial institutions with high credit ratings. Accordingly, management does not expect any significant loss from non-performance by the counterparties.
| (c) | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Company is unable to meet its short-term payment obligations on time due to deterioration of its business performance or inability to access financing. The Company forecasts its cash flow and liquidity status and sets action plans on a regular basis to manage liquidity risk proactively.
The Company invests surplus cash in interest-bearing current accounts, time deposits and demand deposits choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts.
| (2) | Capital management |
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends to shareholders, procure and repay borrowings, issue new shares, and sell assets.
The debt-to-equity ratio and net borrowing ratio as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:

| | Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity can access at the measurement date. |
| | Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) |
| | Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) |

| (8) | The Company entered into supplier finance arrangements. In accordance with the arrangements, when the finance providers pay the payables related to the Company’s trade and other payables to the suppliers, the Company pays the finance providers on the payment due date. In order for the finance providers pay the receivable, the Company had to have received the goods or services and approved the invoices. |

the amount before the payment due date. The Company settles the trade and other payables with the finance providers on the payment due date. All trade and other payables subject to the supplier finance arrangements are included in trade and other
payables in the Company’s consolidated statement of financial position. As of June 30, 2026, the amount paid to suppliers under the supplier finance arrangements is 735,000 million. Meanwhile, the
