BIS capital adequacy ratio financial
"BIS(Capital adequacy) ratio (A/B) | | | 16.63"
non-performing loans financial
"Non-Performing Loans (“NPL”) | | | 2,365"
Loans on a bank’s books where the borrower has stopped making scheduled payments for a prolonged period (commonly about 90 days), so the lender no longer expects full repayment on time. Think of them as overdue IOUs that may never be paid back; a rising level of such loans weakens a lender’s earnings and balance sheet, signals greater credit risk in the economy, and can hurt investors through lower dividends, loan losses, or declines in the lender’s stock value.
liquidity coverage ratio financial
"Liquidity coverage ratio Note 1) | | | 110.18"
The liquidity coverage ratio is a banking rule that measures whether a bank has enough high-quality, easy-to-sell assets to cover expected net cash outflows for 30 days. Think of it as a household’s emergency fund that must cover a month of bills; for investors, a higher ratio means the bank is better positioned to survive short-term stress, reducing the risk of fire sales, funding problems, or sudden capital needs that can hurt the share price.
Korean International Financial Reporting Standards regulatory
"in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”) No.1034"
net interest income financial
"Net interest income | | | 2,303,153"
Net interest income is the difference between the interest a financial institution earns on loans and investments and the interest it pays on deposits and borrowings. It matters to investors because it is a primary source of profit for banks and similar firms — like the gross margin on a store’s trade — and changes with loan growth, deposit costs and interest rates, so it signals core earning power and sensitivity to rate moves.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Woori Financial Group Inc.

Reviewed Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Woori Financial Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”), which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of March 31, 2026, the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and notes, comprising of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”) No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Review Responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information consists 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 review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting.

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 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.

(*1)

The Group does not have power over the discretionary fund because the fund manager has the sole authority to decide the relevant activities of the investee. The fund manager’s delegated power is exercised not only for the Group, but also for other investors as well. The Group does not have the power over the fund’s activities even though it holds more than 50% of ownership interest.

(*2)

The Group does not have power over the fund of funds because the Group cannot decide the relevant activities of the fund through the related contract. The Group does not have the power over the fund’s activities even though it holds more than 50% of ownership interest.

(*3)

The Group does not have power over the stock market stabilization fund as the fund’s relevant activities are determined by the management committee, over which the Group does not have substantial control. The Group does not have the power over the fund’s activities even though it holds more than 50% of ownership interest.

(*4)

In this fund, one of the parties holds substantive removal rights and can remove the collective investment business operator. Consequently, the Group has no controls as it exercises decision-making rights as agent.

(*5)

Decision-making authority over investment-related activities of the investment partnership is vested in the general partner, and the Group cannot directly or indirectly determine the relevant activities of the partnership. In addition, the authority of the general partner cannot be regarded as being exercised solely for the benefit of the Group. Therefore, even if the Group holds a majority ownership interest, it does not have power over the relevant activities of the partnership and, accordingly, does not have control over the partnership.

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language financial statements. The Group’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements are condensed interim financial statements prepared in applying International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“K-IFRS”) 1034 Interim Finance Reporting for some periods in which the annual consolidated financial statements belong. It is necessary to use the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 for understanding of the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain less information compared to the information required in the annual financial statements. Selective footnotes include explanations of transactions or events that are significant for understanding the changes in the financial position and performance of the Group since the end of the previous annual reporting period.

 

(1)

From the accounting period beginning on January 1, 2026, the Group has newly applied the following standards and interpretations.

 

  1)

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments, Korean IFRS 1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures

Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments and Korean IFRS 1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures have been amended to respond to recent questions arising in practice, and to include new requirements. The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and earlier application is permitted. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the 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; and

 

   

update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

  2)

Annual Improvements to Korean IFRS

Annual Improvements to Korean IFRS should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and earlier application is permitted. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

   

Korean IFRS 1101 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards: Hedge accounting by a first-time adopter

 

   

Korean IFRS 1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Gain or loss on derecognition and implementation guidance

 

   

Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments: Derecognition of lease liabilities and definition of transaction price

 

   

Korean IFRS 1110 Consolidated Financial Statements: Determination of a ‘de facto agent’

 

   

Korean IFRS 1007 Statement of Cash Flows: Cost method

 

  3)

Amendments to K-IFRS 1109 ‘Financial Instruments’ and K-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 financial statements.

 

(2)

The details of K-IFRS that have been issued and published as of January 1, 2026 but have not yet reached the effective date, and which the Group has not applied at an earlier date are as follows:

 

  1)

Issuance of K-IFRS No. 1118, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

K-IFRS No. 1118, ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements,’ replaces K-IFRS No. 1001, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’. The new standard introduces revised presentation requirements that are expected to enhance the comparability of financial performance among similar entities, particularly with respect to the definition of operating profit or loss.

If the Group prepares its financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1118, certain significant differences from the current financial statements are expected to arise. The key accounting policies that are expected to result in such differences are described below. These matters do not represent all differences that may arise in the future and are subject to change based on further analysis.

 

   

Changes in the Presentation of Statement of Profit or Loss

K-IFRS No. 1118 requires all income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss to be classified into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income tax, and discontinued operations. Under this standard, all income and expenses that are not classified as investing, financing, income tax, or discontinued operations are classified as operating, and operating profit or loss is defined as a residual measure of profit or loss.

 

- 29 -


WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025 (UNAUDITED)

 

To classify income and expenses into categories, the Group is required to assess its main business activities. If the Group’s main business activities include investing in certain types of assets or providing financing to customers, income and expenses that would otherwise have been classified as investing or financing activities are classified as operating activities when such activities constitute the Group’s main business activities.

As a result, operating profit or loss under K-IFRS No. 1118 differs significantly from operating profit or loss under the current K-IFRS No. 1001, which is defined as operating revenue less operating expenses. K-IFRS No. 1118 requires operating profit or loss calculated in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1001 to be disclosed in the Notes, along with a reconciliation between operating profit or loss under K-IFRS No. 1118 and that under K-IFRS No. 1001.

In addition, K-IFRS No. 1118 requires the presentation in the statement of profit or loss of:

 

  -

“Operating profit or loss,” comprising all income and expenses classified within the operating category;

 

  -

“Profit or loss before financing and income tax,” comprising operating profit or loss and all income and expenses classified within the investing category; and

 

  -

“Profit or loss for the period.”

However, when the Group’s main business activity is providing financing to customers, the presentation of “profit or loss before financing and income tax” may not be applicable, depending on the accounting policy elected.

 

   

Introduction of Disclosures of Management-Defined Performance Measures

K-IFRS No. 1118 introduces new disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures. These measures are defined as subtotals of income and expenses that are not listed in paragraph 118 of K-IFRS No. 1118 and are not explicitly required to be presented or disclosed by IFRS Accounting Standards. Management-defined performance measures are used by entities in public communications separately from the financial statements to communicate management’s view of the entity’s financial performance to users of the financial statements.

When management-defined performance measures are presented, the entity is required to disclose the reasons for using such measures, the basis of their calculation, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable subtotal specified in K-IFRS No. 1118, the income tax effects of each reconciling item, and the effects on non-controlling interests.

 

   

Changes in the Classification of Cash Flows

As a result of the issuance of K-IFRS No. 1118, certain amendments have been made to K-IFRS No. 1007, Statement of Cash Flows. Under these amendments, the starting point for determining cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method has been changed from profit or loss for the period to operating profit or loss. In addition, the accounting policy option regarding the classification of interest and dividend-related cash flows has been eliminated.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025 (UNAUDITED)

 

K-IFRS No. 1118 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted. In accordance with K-IFRS No. 1008, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, the standard is required to be applied retrospectively. Accordingly, comparative information for the financial year ended December 31, 2026 will be restated in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1118. Amendments to K-IFRS No. 1007 and K-IFRS No. 1033 arising from the issuance of K-IFRS No. 1118, as well as the amended K-IFRSs No. 1008 and No. 1107, will be effective at the time K-IFRS No. 1118 is applied.

 

   

Assessment of Significant Impacts

K-IFRS No. 1118 has not been applied by the Group, as its mandatory effective date has not yet been reached. The Group will present its first interim financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1118 for the period ending March 31, 2027. Based on information available as of March 31, 2026, the Group is performing a preliminary assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of K-IFRS No. 1118.

 

(3)

Material accounting policies and method of computation used in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except as described below.

 

  i)

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for an interim period is calculated by applying the income tax rate expected to be applicable to the estimated total annual profit, that is, the estimated average annual effective income tax rate, to the profit before tax for the interim period.

 

  ii)

Application of the Revaluation Model to Land Classified as premises and equipment

The Group changed its accounting policy for the subsequent measurement of land classified as premises and equipment from the historical cost model to the revaluation model, effective from the current interim period, having assessed that the revaluation model provides more reliable and relevant information regarding the fair value of land.

In accordance with K-IFRS No. 1016, Property, Plant and Equipment, the accounting policy of revaluing assets is not applied retrospectively when first adopted. Accordingly, the Group did not restate the comparative financial statements for the prior period.

Land is measured at fair value based on valuations performed by an independent external appraiser. Revaluations are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from fair value at the end of the reporting period. Land is carried at the revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

 

- 31 -


WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025 (UNAUDITED)

 

If the carrying amount of an asset is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under revaluation surplus, net of deferred tax. However, the increase is recognized in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognized in profit or loss.

If the carrying amount of an asset is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease is recognized in profit or loss. However, the decrease is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation surplus in respect of that asset. The revaluation surplus related to land recognized in equity is transferred to retained earnings when the asset is derecognized.

 

  a)

The carrying amount of land measured under the revaluation model and the carrying amount that would have been recognized under the cost model as of March 31, 2026, are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

 

     March 31, 2026  
     Revaluation Model      Cost Model  

Land

     4,248,414        1,779,909  

As of the current period ended March 31, 2026, the revaluation date of land is March 31, 2026, and its fair value was determined based on valuations performed by an independent external appraisal firm.

 

  b)

During the current period ended March 31, 2026, other comprehensive income of 2,474,567 million Won (before income tax effect of 678,089 million Won) was recognized due to revaluation of land. The revaluation surplus (other comprehensive income) from the revaluation of land is not included in distributable profits under the Korean Commercial Act.

 

  c)

The fair value hierarchy of land as of March 31, 2026, are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Material accounting estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated based on a number of factors, including historical experience and expectations of future events that are considered reasonably probable. Accounting estimates calculated based on these definitions may not match actual results.

In preparing interim financial statements, management must apply accounting policies and make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect assets/liabilities and income/expenses. Therefore, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty for the preparation of interim financial statements are consistent with those made for the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the estimation method used to determine income tax expense, “and the application of the revaluation model for property, plant and equipment.”

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group is exposed to various risks that may arise from its operating activities and the main types of risks are credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk and etc. The Risk Management Organization analyzes and assesses the level of complex risks in order to manage the risks and the risk management standards such as policies, regulations, management systems and decision-making have been established and operated for sound management of the Group.

The risk management organization is operated by the Board Risk Management Committee, Chief Risk Officer (CRO), and Risk Management Department. The Board of Directors operates a Risk Management Committee comprised of outside directors for professional risk management. The Board Risk Management Committee plays a role as the top decision-making body in risk management by establishing basic policies for risk management that are in line with the Group’s management strategy and determining the risk level that the Group is willing to take.

The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) assists the Board Risk Management Committee and operates a Group Risk Management Council comprised of risk management managers of subsidiaries to periodically check and improve the risk burden of external environments and the Group. The risk management department is independent and is in charge of risk management of the Group. It also supports reporting and decision-making of key risk-related issues.

 

(1)

Credit risk

Credit risk represents the possibility of financial losses incurred due to the refusal of the transaction or when the counterparty fails to fulfill its contractual obligations. The goal of credit risk management is to maintain the Group’s credit risk exposure to a permissible degree and to optimize its rate of return considering such credit risk.

 

  1)

Credit risk management

To measure credit risk, the Group considers the possibility of failure in performing the obligation by the counterparties, credit exposure to the counterparty, the related default risk and the rate of default loss. The Group uses the credit rating model to assess the possibility of counterparty’s default risk; and when assessing the obligor’s credit rating, other than quantitative methods utilizing financial statements and others, and assessor’s judgement, the Group utilizes credit rating derived using statistical methods.

In order to manage credit risk limit, the Group establishes the appropriate credit line per obligor, company or industry by monitoring obligor’s credit line, total exposures and loan portfolios when approving the loan.

Measurement of expected credit loss

K-IFRS 1109 requires entities to measure loss allowance equal to 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses after classifying financial assets into one of the three stages, depending on the degree of increase in credit risk since their initial recognition.

 

Classification

  

Stage 1

  

Stage 2

  

Stage 3

Definition    No significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition (*)    Significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition    Credit-
impaired

Loss

allowance

   12-month expected credit losses    Lifetime expected credit losses
  

 

Expected credit losses that result from those default events on the financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date

  

 

Expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the life of the financial instrument

 

(*)

If the financial instrument has low credit risk at the end of the reporting period, the Group may assume that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

At the end of each reporting period the Group assesses whether credit risk has significantly increased since the date of initial recognition. The Group assesses whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition by using credit rating, asset quality level, early warning system, days past due and others. For financial assets whose contractual cash flows have been modified, the Group assesses whether there is a significant increase in credit risk on the same basis.

The Group performs the below assessment to both corporate and retail exposures, and indicators of significant increase in credit risk are as follows:

 

Corporate Exposures

  

Retail Exposures

Asset quality level ‘Precautionary’ or lower    Asset quality level ‘Precautionary’ or lower
More than 30 days past due    More than 30 days past due
‘Warning’ level in early warning system    Significant decrease in credit rating
Debtor experiencing financial difficulties (Capital impairment, Adverse opinion or Disclaimer of opinion by external auditors)    Deferment of repayment of principal and interest
Significant decrease in credit rating    Deferment of interest
Deferment of repayment of principal and interest   
Deferment of interest   

The Group concludes that credit is impaired when financial assets are under conditions stated below:

 

  -

When principal and interest of loan is overdue for 90 days or longer due to significant deterioration in credit

 

  -

For loans overdue for less than 90 days, when it is determined that not even a portion of the loan will be recovered unless claim actions such as disposal of collaterals are taken

 

  -

When other objective indicators of impairment have been noted for the financial asset.

The Group also incorporates forward looking into the estimates of default rates and loss given default. Considering the potential for latent insolvency due to increased internal and external economic uncertainties, the Group adjusts the forward looking to additionally recognize expected credit loss allowance.

The Group has estimated the allowance for credit losses using an estimation model that additionally reflects the forward looking information based on the past experience loss rate data.

Loss allowance is calculated by applying PD (Probability of Default) and LGD (Loss Given Default) estimated for each financial asset in consideration of factors such as obligor type, credit rating and portfolio. The estimates are regularly reviewed in order to reduce discrepancies with actual losses.

In measuring the expected credit losses, the Group is also using reasonable and supportable macroeconomic variables such as real GDP growth rate (real, original series), manufacturing capacity utilization rate, apartment sales price index (KB, Seoul), and unemployment rate (original series) in order to forecast future economic conditions.

The Group applies a future economic situation estimation model as follows, and the results are reviewed regularly.

 

  3)

Maximum exposure

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk shows the uncertainties related to the maximum possible variation of financial assets’ net value as a result of changes in the specific risk factors, prior to the consideration of collaterals that are recorded at net carrying amount after allowances and other credit enhancements. However, the maximum exposure is the fair value amount (recorded on the books) for derivatives, maximum contractual obligation for payment guarantees and unused amount of commitments for loan commitment.

The maximum exposure to credit risk as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

Market risk

Market risk is the possible risk of loss arising from trading position and non-trading position as a result of the volatility of market factors such as interest rates, stock prices and foreign exchange rates.

 

  1)

Market risk management

Market risk management refers to the process of making and implementing decisions for the avoidance, acceptance or mitigation of risks by identifying the underlying source of the risks, measuring its level, and evaluating the appropriateness of the level of accepted market risks for both trading and non-trading activities.

 

  a)

Trading activities

The Group uses the standard approach and internal model approach (Woori Bank) in measuring market risk for trading positions, and allocates market risk capital through the Board Risk Management Committee. Risk management departments of the Group and its subsidiaries manage limits in detail including those on risk and loss with their management result regularly reported to the Board Risk Management Committee.

Subsidiaries such as Woori Bank manage market internal capital limits using the Basel III standard approach, and other subsidiaries manage market risks by applying the simple method.

The Basel III standard approach consists of a sensitivity method that measures linear and nonlinear losses that may occur due to unfavorable fluctuations in market risk factors, default risks that may occur due to sudden default, and residual risk-bearing equity capital for other losses.

 

  b)

Non-trading activities

From the end of 2019 for the Bank and the beginning of 2021 for non-banking subsidiaries, the Bank and its subsidiaries manage and measure interest risk for non-trading activities through ΔNII (Change in Net Interest Income) and ΔEVE (Change in Economic Value of Equity) in accordance with IRRBB (Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book).

ΔNII represents a change in net interest income that may occur over a certain period (e.g. one year) due to changes in interest rates, and ΔEVE indicates the economic value changes in equity capital that could be caused by changes in interest rates affecting the present value of asset, liabilities, and off-balance accounts.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations from its financial liabilities.

 

  1)

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk management is to prevent potential cash shortages as a result of mismatching maturity of assets and liabilities or unexpected cash outflows. The consolidated financial liabilities that are relevant to liquidity risk are incorporated within the scope of risk management.

Assets and liabilities are grouped by account under Asset Liability Management (“ALM”) in accordance with the characteristics of the account. The Group manages liquidity risk by identifying the maturity gap and such gap ratio through various cash flows analysis (i.e. based on remaining maturity and contract period, etc.), while maintaining the gap ratio at or below the target limit.

The information on early repayment related to asset securitization is described in Note 34. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments (4) 3).

 

  2)

Maturity analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities

Cash flows of principals and interests by remaining contractual maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

Maturity analysis of derivative financial liabilities

Derivatives held for trading purpose are not managed in accordance with their contractual maturity, since the Group holds such financial instruments with the purpose of disposing or redemption before their maturity. As such, those derivatives are incorporated as “within 3 months” in the table below. Derivatives designated for hedging purpose are estimated by offsetting cash inflows and cash outflows.

The cash flow by the maturity of derivative financial liabilities as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

Maturity analysis of off-balance accounts (Payment guarantees, commitments, and etc.)

A payment guarantee represents an irrevocable undertaking that the Group should meet a customer’s obligations to third parties if the customer fails to do so. The loan commitment represents the limit if the Group has promised a credit to the customer. Loan commitments include commercial standby facilities and credit lines, liquidity facilities to commercial paper conduits and utilized overdraft facilities. The maximum limit to be paid by the Group in accordance with guarantees and loan commitment only applies to principal amounts. There are contractual maturities for payment guarantees, such as financial guarantees for debentures issued or loans, unused loan commitments, and other credits, however, under the terms of the guarantees and unused loan commitments, funds should be paid upon demand from the counterparty. Details of off-balance accounts as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

 

     March 31, 2026      December 31, 2025

Operational risk

The Group defines the operational risk that could cause a negative effect on capital resulting from inadequate internal process, people and systematic problem or external factors.

 

  1)

Operational risk management

The Group has established and operated a group operational risk management system to cope with new Basel III global regulations, which is implemented since 2023, and the management of operational risks follows the procedures for risk recognition, evaluation, measurement, monitoring and reporting, risk control and mitigation.

 

  2)

Operational risk measurement

The Group measures operational risk capital using the Basel III standardized approach. This approach calculates the required operational risk capital by multiplying the Business Indicator Component (BIC), which represents the scale of operations, with the Internal Loss Multiplier (ILM), which reflects the magnitude of actual historical internal losses relative to the scale of operations.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025 (UNAUDITED)

 

Operational risk limits are set with the approval of the Board Risk Management Committee. The Group regularly calculates the operational risk capital and reports any limit breaches to the management and the Board Risk Management Committee.

Since a reduction in the size of internal loss events leads to a decrease in operational risk capital, it is important to prevent loss events in advance. Accordingly, the Group conducts operational risk management activities using tools such as Risk Control Self-Assessment (RCSA), Key Risk Indicators (KRI), and loss data. Additionally, to ensure continuity of operations in emergency situations such as disasters, the major subsidiaries have established a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and conducts annual simulation drills.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

(1)

The fair value hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy for financial instruments is determined by the amount of observable market data. The specific financial instruments characteristics and market condition such as the existence of the transactions among market participants and transparency are reflected to the market observable inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Group maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is measured based on the perspective of a market participant. As such, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Group’s own assumptions reflect those that market participants would use for measuring the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

The fair value measurement is described in the one of the following three levels used to classify fair value measurements:

 

   

Level 1—fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 1 are publicly traded equity securities, derivatives, and debt securities issued by governmental bodies.

 

   

Level 2—fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 2 are debt securities not traded in active markets and common OTC derivatives such as swaps, forwards and options that do not require significant judgment.

 

   

Level 3—fair value measurements are those derived from valuation technique that include inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 3 are non-public securities and derivatives and debt securities of which valuation techniques require significant judgments and subjectivity.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Group’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of inherent factors of the asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL, financial liabilities at FVTPL designated as upon initial recognition, financial assets at FVTOCI, and derivative assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Financial instruments are measured at fair value using a quoted market price in active markets. If there is no active market for a financial instrument, the Group determines the fair value using valuation methods. Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instruments are as follows:

 

  1)

Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instrument classified into level 2 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows:

 

    

Valuation methods

  

Input variables

Debt securities    Fair value is measured by discounting the future cash flows of debt securities applying the risk-free market rate with credit spread.    Risk-free market rate, credit spread, matrix method yield to maturity, effective credit grade, company-specific risk spread, weighted average expected maturity of MBS with consideration for prepayment, discount rate.
Equity securities, capital contributions and beneficiary certificates    Fair value is measured by using the net asset value method, DCF, FCFE (Free Cash Flow to Equity Model), Comparable Company Analysis, Dividend Discount Model, risk adjusted discount rate method, LSMC (Least-Squares Monte Carlo), Hull-White model and Binomial tree model.    Values of underlying assets such as bond, risk-free market rate, market risk premium, corporate beta, discount rate based on credit rating, volatility of stock prices, volatility of interest rates and exchange rate.
Derivatives    Fair value is measured using valuation techniques commonly employed by market participants, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow (DCF) models, implied forward rate calculation methods, regression analysis methods, and valuation techniques based on observable market inputs for derivatives such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps, etc.    Discount rate, volatility of underlying assets, exchange rate, risk-free market rate, credit spread, forward rate, OIS, KTB, and CDS rates.
Loans    The future cash flows of debt instruments are measured at a discount by applying the market interest rate applied to entities with similar creditworthiness to the debtor.    Risk-free market rate and credit spread
Deposits due to customers    Fair value is measured by Hull-White model.    Discount rate, swaption volatility, etc.

 

  2)

Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instrument classified into level 3 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 are as follows :

 

    

Valuation methods

  

Input variables

Loans   

Fair value is measured by using the DCF model (Discounted Cash Flow Model), LSMC (Least-Squares Monte Carlo) and Hull-White which are generally used in the market

considering the price of underlying assets and volatility.

   Price of underlying assets, volatility, discount rate, volatility of stock, risk-free market rate, credit spread, interest rate, correlation coefficient
Equity securities, capital contributions and beneficiary certificates    Fair value is measured using one or more valuation methodologies—such as the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model, Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE) model, comparable company analysis, dividend discount model, risk-adjusted discount rate method, net asset value method, LSMC, binomial model, market approach, Hull-White model, Monte-Carlo Simulation or precedent transactions model—selected as appropriate in consideration of the characteristics of the valuation subject.    Risk-free market return, market risk premium, company beta, stock price, underlying asset volatility, fair value of underlying assets, price of the underlying asset, recent transaction price, discount rate based on credit rating, interest rate volatility, real estate sale price volatility, price-to-book ratio

Valuation methods

  

Input variables

      (PBR), price-to-sales ratio (PSR), net asset value, paid-in capital increase amount, issuance information by instrument, matrix-based yield to maturity (YTM), company-specific risk spread, perpetual growth rate, liquidation value change rate and interest rate.
Debt securities    Future cash flows of the debt securities are measured by discounting them using a market interest rate applicable to companies with credit ratings similar to that of the issuer    Discount rate, perpetual growth rate, and liquidation value change rate
Derivatives    Fair value is measured by models such as option model.    Correlation coefficient, stock price, volatility of underlying assets etc.
Others    The fair value of the underlying asset, after calculating the fair value using the DCF model, etc., considering the price and volatility of the calculated underlying asset, is calculated using the binomial tree, which is commonly used valuation techniques in the market.    Stock price, volatility of underlying assets etc.

Sensitivity analysis results on reasonable fluctuation of the significant unobservable input variables for the fair value of Level 3 financial instruments are as follows.

The sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments has been performed by classifying with favorable and unfavorable changes based on how changes in unobservable assumptions would have effects on the fluctuations of financial instruments’ value. When the fair value of a financial instrument is affected by two or more unobservable input variables, the sensitivity analysis is calculated by assuming the most favorable or the most unfavorable scenario. The sensitivity analysis was performed for two types of level 3 financial instruments: (1) interest rate related derivatives, currency related derivatives, equity related derivatives, equity-linked securities beneficiary certificates and loans of which fair value changes are recognized as net income; (2) equity securities of which fair value changes are recognized as other comprehensive income.

Meanwhile, among the financial instruments that are classified as Level 3 amounting to 12,922,115 million Won and 12,451,909 million Won as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, equity instruments of 6,776,478 million Won and 6,234,075 million Won whose carrying amount are considered to represent the reasonable approximation of fair value are excluded from the sensitivity analysis.

The sensitivity on fluctuation of input variables by financial instruments as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

 

     March 31, 2026

The fair values of financial instruments are measured using quoted market price in active markets. In case there is no active market for financial instruments, the Group determines the fair value by using valuation methods. Valuation methods and input variables for financial assets and liabilities that are measured at amortized cost are given as follows:

 

    

Valuation methods

  

Input variables

Securities at amortized cost

  

The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash flows of debt securities by applying risk-free market rate with credit spread.

  

Risk-free market rate and credit spread

Loans and other financial assets at amortized cost

  

The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash flows of loan products by applying the market discount rate that has been applied to a proxy company that has similar credit rating to the debtor.

  

Risk-free market rate, credit spread and prepayment rate

Deposits due to customers, borrowings, debentures and other financial liabilities

  

The fair value is measured by discounting the projected cash flow of debt products by applying the market discount rate that is reflecting credit rating of the Group or the market discount rate used for similar in products.

  

Risk-free market rate, credit spread and forward rate

Investment contract liabilities

  

Since it is difficult to derive reliable expected cash flows, the book value of the reserves calculated in accordance with the Insurance Business Act and the Insurance Supervisory Regulations was used as a proxy for fair value.

In case some variables to measure fair values of financial instruments are not observable in the market, valuation techniques are utilized to evaluate such financial instruments. Those financial instruments are recorded the transaction price as at the time of acquisition, even though there are difference noted between the transaction price and the fair value. The table above presents the difference yet to be realized as profit or loss as of March 31, 2026 and 2025.

NET DEFINED BENEFIT LIABILITY(ASSET)

The Group’s pension plan is based on the defined benefit retirement pension plan. Employees and directors with one or more years of service are entitled to receive a payment upon termination of their employment, based on their length of service and rate of salary at the time of termination. The assets of the plans are measured at their fair value at the end of reporting date. The plan liabilities are measured using the projected unit method, which takes account of projected earnings increases, using actuarial assumptions that give the best estimate of the future cash flows that will arise under the plan liabilities.

The Group is exposed to various risks through defined benefit retirement pension plan, and the most significant risks are as follows:

 

Volatility of asset    The defined benefit obligation was estimated with an interest rate calculated based on the return on high quality corporate bond. A deficit may occur if the rate of return of plan assets falls short of the interest rate.

Decrease in the return on high quality corporate bond

   A decrease in the return on high quality corporate bond will be offset by some increase in the value of debt securities that the employee benefit plan owns but will bring an increase in the defined benefit obligation.
Risk of inflation    Defined benefit obligations are related to inflation rate; the higher the inflation rate is, the higher the level of liabilities. Therefore, deficit occurs in the system if an inflation rate increases.

AS OF MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025 (UNAUDITED)

Overview of the Group’s hedge accounting

 

  1)

Fair value hedge

 

  a)

Debentures

As of March 31, 2026, the Group has applied fair value hedge on fixed interest rate foreign currency denominated debentures amounting to 3,131,999 million Won, and Korean won-denominated debentures amounting to 317,607 million Won. The purpose of the hedging is to avoid fair value volatility risk of fixed interest rate foreign and local currency denominated debentures derived from fluctuations of market interest rate, and as such the Group entered into interest rate swap agreements designated as hedging instruments.

Pursuant to the interest rate swap agreement, by swapping the calculated difference between the fixed interest rate and floating interest rate applied to the nominal value, the fair value fluctuation risk is hedged as the foreign currency denominated debentures and local currency debentures fixed interest rate terms are converted to floating interest rate. Pursuant to the interest rate swap agreement, hedge ratio is determined by matching the nominal value of hedging instrument to the face value of the hedged item.

In this hedging relationship, only the market interest rate fluctuation, which is the most significant part of the fair value change of the hedged item, is designated as the hedged risk, and other risk factors including credit risk are not included in the hedged risk. Therefore, the ineffective portion of the hedge could arise from fluctuations in the timing of the cash flow of the hedged item, price margin set by counterparty of hedging instrument, and unilateral change in credit risk of any party of hedging instrument.

The interest rate swap agreements and the hedged items are subject to fluctuations in the underlying market rate of interest and the Group expects the fair value of the interest rate swap contract and the value of the hedged item to generally change in the opposite direction.

The fair value of the interest rate swap at the end of the reporting period is determined by discounting future cash flows estimated by using the yield curve at the end of the reporting period and the credit risk embedded in the contract and the average interest rate is determined based on the outstanding balance at the end of the reporting period. The variable interest rate applied to the interest rate swap is Compounding SOFR or CD 3M plus spread. In accordance with the terms of each interest rate swap contract designated as a hedging instrument, the Group receives interest at a fixed interest rate and pays interest at a variable interest rate.

 

  b)

Foreign currency securities, Foreign private bonds

As of March 31, 2026, the Group has applied fair value hedging for foreign currency securities amounting to 807,892 million Won and foreign currency private bonds amounting to 82,782 million Won. The purpose of the hedging is to avoid fair value volatility risk of foreign currency securities and foreign currency private bonds derived from exchange rate changes. To achieve this purpose, the group has entered into forward currency contracts designated as hedging instruments.

The forward currency contracts are executed with the condition of selling foreign currencies on a future specific date, at a predetermined agreed amount and exchange rate. On the initiation date, the contract amount is exchanged, and on the termination date, the contracted foreign currency principal is returned. As a result, through hedging transactions, the group offsets valuation gains and losses from exchange rate fluctuations of foreign currency-denominated assets, thereby removing fair value fluctuation risk linked to foreign currency securities and bonds. The hedge ratio is determined through a method that ensures fair value changes in the hedging instruments and hedged items effectively offset each other to a similar extent.

In this hedging relationship, only the exchange rate fluctuation, which is the most significant part of the fair value change in the hedged item, is designated as the hedged risk, excluding other risk factors such as credit risk or liquidity risk. Therefore, the ineffective portion of the hedge could arise from discrepancies between the settlement timing of the forward currency contract and the cash flow timing of foreign currency-denominated items, fluctuations in counterparties’ credit risks, or discrepancies between market exchange rates and contracted exchange rates.

The forward currency agreements and the hedged items are subject to fluctuations in the exchange rate and the group expects the fair value of the currency forward contract and the value of the hedged item to generally change in the opposite direction.

 

  2)

Cash Flow Hedge

 

  a)

Debentures

As of the March 31, 2026, the Group has applied cash flow hedge on local currency denominated debentures amounting to 59,956 million won and debentures on foreign currency amounting to 1,311,631 million won. The Group’s hedging strategies are to ① Mitigate risks of cash flow fluctuation from variable interest rate debentures on local currency due to changes in market interest rate by entering into an interest rate swap contract and thereby designating it as hedging instrument; ② Mitigate the risks of cash flow fluctuation from principal and interest of variable interest rate debentures denominated in foreign currency due to changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates by entering into a currency swap contract and thereby designating it as hedging instrument; ③ Mitigate the risks of cash flow fluctuation from principal and interest of fixed interest rate debentures denominated in foreign currency due to changes in foreign exchange rates and ④ Mitigate the risks of cash flow fluctuation in variable interest rate foreign currency borrowings resulting from changes in market interest rates and designate it as a hedging instrument through entering into currency swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts.

By exchanging a predetermined nominal amount as set forth in the interest rate swap contract adjusted by the differences between the fixed and variable interest rates, the variable interest rate terms of the Korean won-denominated variable rate bond are converted to fixed interest rate terms, thereby eliminating the cash flow volatility risk. In addition, this also means a payment of predetermined principal amount as set forth in the currency swap adjusted by fixed interest rate, an exchange of an amount calculated by applying variable interest rate to USD or applying fixed interest rate to USD, and an exchange of the principal denominated in KRW and principal denominated in foreign currency at maturity eliminating cash flow fluctuation risk on principal and interest. The hedge ratio is determined by matching the nominal amount of the hedging instrument to the face amount of the hedged item in accordance with interest rate swap and currency swap.

Only interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuation risks, which are the most significant factor in the cash flow fluctuation of the hedged item, are addressed in this hedging relationship, and other risk factors such as credit risk are not subject to hedging. Accordingly, hedge ineffectiveness may arise from price margin set by the counterparty of hedging instruments and unilateral change in credit risk of any party in the transaction.

The interest rate swap, currency swap contract and the hedged item are all affected by the changes in market interest rate and foreign exchange rates which are basic factors. The Group expects that the value of interest rate swap contract, currency swap contract and value of the hedged item will generally fluctuate in opposite direction.

 

  b)

Foreign currency securities, Foreign private bonds, Anticipated bond purchase

As of March 31, 2026, the Group has applied cash flow hedges to manage the risks associated with foreign currency securities amounting to 6,459,567 million Won, foreign currency private bonds totaling 186,711 million Won, and anticipated bond purchase transactions. The Group’s objective of these hedging measures is to mitigate the risk of cash flow fluctuations from foreign currency securities and private bonds due to exchange rate changes, as well as the price risk of future purchases of treasury and foreign government bonds. To achieve these objectives, the entity utilizes forward currency contracts, currency swaps, and bond forward contracts as designated hedging instruments.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025 (UNAUDITED)

 

Forward currency contracts are used to eliminate cash flow volatility arising from exchange rate fluctuations of anticipated transactions in foreign currency by agreeing to sell foreign currency at a pre-established rate on a future date. These contracts are designated as hedging instruments to offset cash flow variations caused by exchange rate changes on foreign currency-denominated items. The hedge ratio is determined by aligning the nominal amount of the hedging instrument with the face value of the hedged item.

Currency swap contracts are entered into to exchange interest and principal of foreign currency securities and private bonds during the contract period at predetermined notional amounts and rates, and revert the principal exchanged at inception upon maturity. This practice mitigates the cash flow volatility risk associated with the principal and interest payments of foreign currency-denominated securities and private bonds. The hedge ratio is determined by matching the nominal value of the hedging instrument to the face value of the hedged item.

Bond forward contracts are structured to purchase specific bonds at a predetermined notional amount and price on a future specified date to hedge against price risk caused by interest rate fluctuations impacting bond purchase prices. Upon contract expiration, bonds are acquired at the agreed-upon rate, thereby eliminating cash flow variability risks due to future interest rate changes. Thus, the hedging transaction removes the uncertainty surrounding the cash outflow amount related to interest rate changes at the future bond purchase date, thereby ensuring stable cash flows. The nominal amount of the hedging instrument in these bond forward contracts is aligned with the anticipated purchase amount of the hedged bonds, and the hedge ratio is calibrated to ensure that cash flow fluctuations of the hedged item and hedging instrument effectively offset each other.

 

  3)

Hedges of Foreign Currency Borrowings

As of March 31, 2026, the Group has designated cash flow hedges for foreign currency borrowings amounting to 302,680 million Won. The purpose of the Group’s hedging activities is to hedge the variability in cash flows related to interest and principal payments of variable-rate foreign currency borrowings arising from fluctuations in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. To achieve this objective, the Group has entered into currency swap contracts and designated them as hedging instruments. The Group designated only the portion excluding the foreign basis spread of derivative financial instruments as the hedging instrument.

Under the currency swap contracts, the principal amounts are exchanged at inception, and the Group pays amounts calculated by applying a fixed interest rate to a predetermined notional principal, while receiving amounts calculated by applying a floating interest rate denominated in U.S. dollars. At maturity, the principal amounts exchanged at inception are re-exchanged. As a result, the variability in cash flows related to the principal and interest of the foreign currency borrowings is eliminated. The hedge ratio is determined by matching the notional amount of the hedging instrument with the face amount of the hedged item under the currency swap contracts.

In these hedging relationships, only the most significant components of the variability in cash flows of the hedged items—namely, changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates—are designated as hedged risks. Other risk components, including credit risk, are not included in the hedged risks. Accordingly, hedge ineffectiveness may arise due to factors such as the pricing margin of the counterparty to the hedging instrument or changes in the credit risk of either party to the hedging instrument.

Both the currency swap contracts and the hedged items are affected by changes in underlying variables, namely market interest rates and foreign exchange rates, and the Group expects that the values of the currency swap contracts and the hedged items will generally move in opposite directions.

Hedges of Net Investment in Foreign Operations

Foreign currency exposure arises from the Group’s net investments in Woori America Bank, Woori Bank (Cambodia) PLC, Woori Global Markets Asia Limited, and overseas branch which use USD as their functional currency. The risk arises from fluctuations in the spot exchange rate between USD and KRW. This may result in different net investment amounts.

The risk hedged in the net investment hedging is the fluctuation risk of KRW against USD, which may reduce the carrying amount of the Group’s net investments in Woori America Bank, Woori Bank (Cambodia) PLC, Woori Global Markets Asia Limited, and overseas branch.

A portion of the Group’s net investments in Woori America Bank, Woori Bank (Cambodia) PLC, Woori Global Markets Asia Limited, and overseas branch are hedged in USD denominated foreign currency bonds (Carrying amount as of March 31, 2026: USD 863,959,317) and mitigate foreign exchange risk arising from the net assets of subsidiaries. The debenture has been designated as a hedging instrument for the value change of net investments, which arises from fluctuation in the spot exchange rate between USD and KRW.

To evaluate the effectiveness of the hedge, the Group determines the economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item by comparing (offsetting) changes in the amount of foreign investments due to spot exchange rate fluctuation and in the carrying amount of the liabilities due to spot exchange rate fluctuation. The Group’s policy is to hedge the net investment amount only within the principal range of the liabilities.

(*1)

As the amount of payment varies according to the base price (the arithmetic average of the weighted average stock price of transactions in the past one week, the past one month, and the past two months) at the date of payment, the fair value is calculated to measure the liability according to the Black Scholes model based on the base price at the time of each settlement.

(*2)

The number of payable stocks is granted at the initial contract date. This is a system in which the number of shares to be granted is determined based on the evaluation results of long-term performance indicators over a total of four years, including the current year, and the final cash compensation is made by reflecting the stock price at the time of payment. Performance is evaluated as long-term performance indication including relative shareholder return, net income, return on equity (ROE), C/I ratio, non-performing loan ratio and job performance.

 

  2)

The Group accounts for performance condition share-based payments according to the cash-settled method and the fair value of the liabilities is reflected in the compensation costs by re-measuring every closing period. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of the liabilities related to the performance condition share-based payments recognized by the Group amounts to 126,917 million Won and 107,713 million Won, respectively, including the carrying amount of liabilities related to key management of 49,802 million Won and 43,823 million Won, respectively.

Responsible completion land trust is a trust in which the Woori Asset Trust Co., Ltd., subsidiary, is only liable to the lending financial institution for the completion guarantee obligation in case the contractor fails to fulfill the obligation. If the subsidiary is unable to fulfill the completion guarantee obligation, it is responsible for compensating the lending financial institution for any losses incurred.

(*2)

In redevelopment projects where the Korea Housing & Urban Guarantee Corporation guarantees project financing loans, the project operator is responsible for the completion guarantee obligation according to the standard project agreement terms of the Korea Housing & Urban Guarantee Corporation, but the completion guarantee period has not yet expired as of March 31, 2026.

Since, for projects where it is highly likely that our subsidiary Woori Asset Trust will bear the responsibility for completion and where the possibility and amount of loss can be reliably estimated, these impacts have been reflected in the financial statements at the end of the current period. However, for projects where the risk of Woori Asset Trust bearing the completion guarantee obligations is considered low or where the possibility and amount of loss cannot be reliably estimated, these impacts have not been reflected in the financial statements at the end of the current period.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Woori Financial Group Inc.

Reviewed Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of Woori Financial Group Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the condensed separate interim statement of financial position as of March 31, 2026, the condensed separate interim statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 and notes, comprising of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”) No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the condensed separate interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Review 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 Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information consists 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 review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting.

Other Matters

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.

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 report, were audited by us in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and their 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.

They are also separate financial statements prepared in accordance with Korean IFRS 1027 Separate Financial Statements. It is necessary to use the Company’s annual separate financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 for understanding of the accompanying condensed interim financial statements. The accompanying condensed interim financial statements contain less information compared to the information required in the annual financial statements.

(1)

From the accounting period beginning on January 1, 2026, the Company has newly applied the following standards and interpretations.

 

- 9 -


WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC.

NOTES TO THE SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025 (UNAUDITED)

 

  1)

Amendments to K-IFRS 1109 ‘Financial Instruments’, K-IFRS 1107 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’

K-IFRS 1109 ‘Financial Instruments’ and K-IFRS 1107 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’ have been amended to respond to recent questions arising in practice, and to include new requirements. The principal amendments are as follows, and the amendments do not have a significant impact on the 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; and

 

  -

update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

 

  2)

Annual Improvements to K-IFRS

Annual Improvements to K-IFRS should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

 

  -

K-IFRS 1101 ‘First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards’: Hedge accounting by a first-time adopter

 

  -

K-IFRS 1107 ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’: Gain or loss on derecognition, and implementation guidance

 

  -

K-IFRS 1109 ‘Financial Instruments’: Derecognition of lease liabilities and definition of transaction price

 

  -

K-IFRS 1110 ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’: Determination of a ‘de facto agent’

 

  -

K-IFRS 1007 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Cost method

 

  3)

Amendments to K-IFRS 1109 ‘Financial Instruments’ and K-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 financial statements.

 

(2)

The details of K-IFRSs that have been issued and published since January 1, 2026 but have not yet reached the effective date are as follows:

 

  1)

Enactment of K-IFRS No. 1118, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

K-IFRS No. 1118, ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements,’ replaces K-IFRS No. 1001, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’. The new standard introduces revised presentation requirements that are expected to enhance the comparability of financial performance among similar entities, particularly with respect to the definition of operating profit or loss.

If the Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1118, certain significant differences from the current financial statements are expected to arise. The key accounting policies that are expected to result in such differences are described below. These matters do not represent all differences that may arise in the future and are subject to change based on further analysis.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC.

NOTES TO THE SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025 (UNAUDITED)

 

  -

Changes in the Presentation of Statement of Profit or Loss

K-IFRS No. 1118 requires all income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss to be classified into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income tax, and discontinued operations. Under this standard, all income and expenses that are not classified as investing, financing, income tax, or discontinued operations are classified as operating, and operating profit or loss is defined as a residual measure of profit or loss.

To classify income and expenses into categories, the Company is required to assess its main business activities. If the Company’s main business activities include investing in certain types of assets or providing financing to customers, income and expenses that would otherwise have been classified as investing or financing activities are classified as operating activities when such activities constitute the Company’s main business activities.

As a result, operating profit or loss under K-IFRS No. 1118 differs significantly from operating profit or loss under the current K-IFRS No. 1001, which is defined as operating revenue less operating expenses. K-IFRS No. 1118 requires operating profit or loss calculated in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1001 to be disclosed in the Notes, along with a reconciliation between operating profit or loss under K-IFRS No. 1118 and that under K-IFRS No. 1001.

In addition, K-IFRS No. 1118 requires the presentation in the statement of profit or loss of:

“Operating profit or loss,” comprising all income and expenses classified within the operating category;

“Profit or loss before financing and income tax,” comprising operating profit or loss and all income and expenses classified within the investing category; and

“Profit or loss for the period.”

However, when the Company’s main business activity is providing financing to customers, the presentation of “profit or loss before financing and income tax” may not be applicable, depending on the accounting policy elected.

 

  -

Introduction of Disclosures of Management-Defined Performance Measures

K-IFRS No. 1118 introduces new disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures. These measures are defined as subtotals of income and expenses that are not listed in paragraph 118 of K-IFRS No. 1118 and are not explicitly required to be presented or disclosed by IFRS Accounting Standards. Management-defined performance measures are used by entities in public communications separately from the financial statements to communicate management’s view of the entity’s financial performance to users of the financial statements.

When management-defined performance measures are presented, the entity is required to disclose the reasons for using such measures, the basis of their calculation, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable subtotal specified in K-IFRS No. 1118, and the income tax effects of each reconciling item.

 

  -

Changes in the Classification of Cash Flows

As a result of the issuance of K-IFRS No. 1118, certain amendments have been made to K-IFRS No. 1007, Statement of Cash Flows. Under these amendments, the starting point for determining cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method has been changed from profit or loss for the period to operating profit or loss. In addition, the accounting policy option regarding the classification of interest and dividend-related cash flows has been eliminated.

 

- 11 -


WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC.

NOTES TO THE SEPARATE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025 (UNAUDITED)

 

K-IFRS No. 1118 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early application permitted. In accordance with K-IFRS No. 1008, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, the standard is required to be applied retrospectively. Accordingly, comparative information for the financial year ended December 31, 2026 will be restated in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1118. Amendments to K-IFRS No. 1007 and K-IFRS No. 1033 arising from the issuance of K-IFRS No. 1118, as well as the amended K-IFRSs No. 1008 and No. 1107, will be effective at the time K-IFRS No. 1118 is applied.

 

  -

Assessment of Significant Impacts

K-IFRS No. 1118 has not been applied by the Company, as its mandatory effective date has not yet been reached. The Company will present its first interim financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1118 for the period ending March 31, 2027. Based on information available as of March 31, 2026, the Company is performing a preliminary assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of K-IFRS No. 1118.

 

(3)

Material accounting policies and method of computation used in the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the one described below.

 

  1)

Income tax expense

Income tax expense for the interim period is recognized based on the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the expected gross annual profit. The estimated average annual tax rate is applied to the pre-tax income.

 

  2)

Application of the revaluation model to land

The Company has changed its accounting policy for the subsequent measurement of land, which is classified as property, plant and equipment, from the historical cost model to the revaluation model, as management believes that the revaluation model provides more reliable and more relevant information regarding the fair value of land. Accordingly, the accounting policy has been changed effective from the current quarter.

In accordance with K-IFRS 1016 ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’, when an entity applies the revaluation model as an accounting policy for an asset for the first time, retrospective application is not required. Therefore, the Company has not restated the comparative financial statements for prior periods. As the Company does not hold any land as of the end of the current period, there is no impact arising from this change in accounting policy.

 

3.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The management shall make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in preparing condensed interim financial statements. Therefore, the actual results may differ from these estimates.

The important judgements by the management excluding the estimation methods used to determine corporate income tax expense and the application of revaluation model on accounting policies and the main sources of estimation uncertainty for preparing condensed interim financial statements are identical to ones used in the Company’s annual separate financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is exposed to various risks that may arise from its operating activities and credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk are the main types of risks. In order to manage such risks, the Risk Management Department analyzes, assesses, and establishes risk management standards, including policies, guidelines, management systems and decision-making to ensure sound management of the Company.

The Risk Management Committee, Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”) and the Risk Management Department are operated as risk management organizations. The board of directors operates the Risk Management Committee, composed of nonexecutive directors for professional risk management. The Risk Management Committee performs as the top decision-making body for risk management by establishing fundamental risk management policies that are consistent with the Company’s management strategy and by determining the Company’s acceptable level of risk.

CRO assists the Risk Management Committee and operates the Company Risk Management Council, which is composed of the risk management managers of the subsidiaries, to periodically check and improve the external environment and the Company’s risk burden. The Risk Management Department which is independently structured, controls the risk management matter of the Company and reports key risks and assists decision-making.

 

(1)

Credit risk

Credit risk represents the possibility of financial losses incurred due to the refusal of the transaction or when the counterparty fails to fulfill its contractual obligations. The goal of credit risk management is to maintain the Company’s credit risk exposure to a permissible degree and to optimize its rate of return considering such credit risk.

Market risk

Market risk is the possible risk of loss arising from trading position and non-trading position as a result of the volatility of market factors such as interest rates, stock prices and foreign exchange rates, and the Company’s main market risk is interest rate risk.

The Company estimates and manages risks related to changes in interest rate due to the difference in the maturities of interest-bearing assets and liabilities and discrepancies in the terms of interest rates.

 

(3)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Company may encounter difficulties in meeting obligations from its financial liabilities.

 

  1)

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk management is to prevent damages from potential liquidity shortages with effective risk management that could arise from mismatching the maturity of assets and liabilities or unexpected cash outflows. The financial liabilities in the statement of financial position that are relevant to liquidity risk are incorporated within the scope of risk management.

The Company manages liquidity risk through various cash flows analysis (i.e. based on remaining maturity and contract period, etc.).

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

 

(1)

The fair value hierarchy

The fair value hierarchy is determined by the levels of judgment involved in estimating fair values of financial assets and liabilities. The specific financial instruments characteristics and market condition such as volume of transactions and transparency are reflected to the market observable inputs. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities. Fair value is measured based on the perspective of a market participant. As such, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions reflect those that market participants would use for measuring the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

The fair value measurement is described in the one of the following three levels used to classify fair value measurements:

 

   

Level 1—fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 1 are publicly traded equity securities, derivatives, and debt securities issued by governmental bodies.

 

   

Level 2— fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 2 are debt securities not traded in active markets and derivatives traded in OTC but not required significant judgment.

 

   

Level 3— fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). The types of financial assets or liabilities generally included in Level 3 are non-public securities and derivatives and debt securities of which valuation techniques require significant judgments and subjectivity.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of inherent factors of the asset or liability.

Financial assets measured at FVTPL and financial assets measured at FVTOCI are recognized at fair value. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Financial instruments are measured at fair value using a quoted market price in active markets. If there is no active market for a financial instrument, the Company determines the fair value using valuation methods. Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instruments are as follows:

Sensitivity analysis results on reasonable fluctuation of the significant unobservable input variables for the fair value of Level 3 financial instruments are as follows.

The sensitivity analysis on financial instruments shows how changes in unobservable inputs affect changes in fair value of the instruments through favorable and unfavorable changes. When the fair value of a financial instrument is affected by more than one unobservable assumption, the below table reflects the most favorable or the most unfavorable changes which resulted from varying the assumptions individually. The sensitivity analysis was performed for hybrid securities of which fair value changes are recognized as other comprehensive income among level 3 financial instruments.

NET DEFINED BENEFIT ASSET

The Company’s pension plan is based on the defined benefit retirement pension plan. Employees and directors with one or more years of service are entitled to receive a payment upon termination of their employment, based on their length of service and rate of salary at the time of termination. The assets of the plans are measured at their fair value at the end of reporting date. The plan liabilities are measured using the projected unit method, which takes into account of projected earnings’ increase, using actuarial assumptions that give the best estimate of the future cash flows that will arise under the plan liabilities.

The Company is exposed to various risks through defined benefit retirement pension plan, and the most significant risks are as follows:

 

Volatility of asset

   The defined benefit obligation was estimated with a discount rate calculated based on the return on high quality corporate bond. A deficit may occur if the rate of return of plan assets falls short of the discount rate.

Decrease in profitability of high quality bonds

   A decrease in profitability of high quality bonds will be offset by some increase in the value of debt securities that the employee benefit plan owns but will bring an increase in the defined benefit obligation.

Risk of inflation

   Defined benefit obligations are related to inflation rate; the higher the inflation rate is, the higher the level of liabilities. Therefore, deficit occurs in the system if an inflation rate increases.

(*1)

As the amount of payment varies according to the base price (the arithmetic average of the weighted average stock price of transactions in the past one week, the past one month, and the past two months) at the date of payment, the fair value is calculated to measure the liability according to the Black Scholes model based on the base price at the time of each settlement.

(*2)

The number of payable stocks is granted at the initial contract date. This is a system in which the number of shares to be granted is determined based on the evaluation results of long-term performance indicators over a total of four years, including the current year, and the final cash compensation is made by reflecting the stock price at the time of payment. Performance is evaluated as long-term performance indication including relative shareholder return, net income, common equity tier1(CET1) ratio, return on equity (ROE), C/I ratio, non-performing loan ratio and job performance.

 

  2)

The Company accounts for performance condition share-based payments according to the cash-settled method and the fair value of the liabilities is reflected in the compensation costs by re-measuring every closing period. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 the book value of the liabilities related to the performance condition share-based payments recognized by the Company is 19,218 million Won and 19,807 million Won.
