Insights

TL;DR: Strong capital and shareholder returns offset by weaker earnings and higher credit impairments in 1H 2025.

Woori Financial Group delivered a consolidated 1H 2025 net income of KRW 1.59 trillion with net interest income ticked up to KRW 4.51 trillion. The group preserved capital strength with a preliminary BIS ratio of 16.06% and Woori Bank at 16.97%, supporting regulatory buffers and strategic actions such as a KRW 150 billion buyback and KRW 294 billion in cash dividends for 1H. However, credit-related headwinds are visible: impairment losses rose to KRW 943 billion and the group NPL ratio increased to 0.61%, which weighed on profitability versus 1H 2024. From a financial metrics perspective, the company remains well-capitalized and liquid, but near-term earnings are pressured by higher credit costs.

TL;DR: Capital and liquidity are solid, but rising NPLs and lower coverage merit attention for asset-quality risk.

Key risk indicators show the NPL ratio rising to 0.61% and substandard-and-below loans ratio to 0.71% with loan loss reserves of KRW 3,438 billion yielding a substandard coverage ratio of 127.0% (down from prior periods). While LCR and won/foreign liquidity ratios are comfortably above requirements and BIS remains healthy, the deterioration in asset quality and higher impairment charges (KRW 943 billion in 1H) increase credit risk exposure. Ongoing integration of insurance and trust businesses expands scope and complexity of risk governance, requiring continued monitoring of provisioning and recovery trends.

At the 4th Board Meeting held on March 26, 2025, the independent director In-Sub Yoon was appointed as the Chairman of the Board.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company operates a performance-based stock-linked compensation system, pursuant to the standards established by the shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting and the Compensation Committee. The Company initially determines, for each recipient, the maximum share amounts that can be granted under the system, and then determines the final share amounts based on an evaluation of the long-term performance indices over four years (including the current year). The compensation is then paid in cash, based on the final share amount and the share price at the time the compensation is paid. The long-term performance indices include relative shareholder return, common equity ratio, return on equity, profit for the period, cost-to-income ratio, non-performing loan ratio and individual performance evaluations. For further information, please refer to the notes to the financial statements.
