Independent Auditor’s Report
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Woori Financial Group Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Woori Financial Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”).
We also have audited, in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing (KSAs), the Group’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”) for consolidation purposes as of December 31, 2025, based on the criteria established in Conceptual Framework for Designing and Operating Internal Control over Financial Reporting issued by the Operating Committee of Internal Control over Financial Reporting in the Republic of Korea, and our report dated March 5, 2025 expressed an unmodified opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting for consolidation purposes.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing (KSAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Republic of Korea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Key Audit Matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- 1 -
Assessment of the allowance for credit losses for loans
As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group recognized an allowance for credit losses using the expected credit loss (ECL) impairment model for loans at amortized cost amounting to KRW 3,357,625 million as of December 31, 2025. ECL allowances are measured at amounts equal to either (i) 12-month ECL; or (ii) lifetime ECL for those loans that have experienced a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) since initial recognition or are impaired. The Group measures ECL allowances on an individual basis for individually significant corporate loans which have had SICR or have become impaired. The allowance for credit losses for all other loans is measured on a collective basis. For these loans, the Group measures ECL by estimating the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) as well as the future economic forecast information. For the incorporation of future economic forecast information, the Group uses various information to select a model and this involves a high level of judgment by the Group. For corporate loans, the Group’s credit rating of the borrower is used in the determination of the PDs. The Group uses quantitative and qualitative factors to determine the credit rating of the borrower and the evaluation of the qualitative factors involves a high level of judgment by the Group.
We identified the following risk as a key audit matter, considering the likelihood of errors, the level of involvement of management judgement, and risk of material misstatement.
| - | Risk that the allowance for credit losses which is measured on a collective basis is misstated due to error or fraud in the manner in which future economic forecast information is incorporated. |
| - | Risk that the allowance for credit losses which is measured on a collective basis is misstated due to error or fraud in the evaluation of the qualitative factors which is used for determining the internal credit ratings of corporate loans. |
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this key audit matter:
| - | We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to: (i) the assessment of qualitative factors in the process of determining the Group’s credit rating of corporate loans; and (ii) the assessment of the appropriateness of the model selection process to incorporate future economic forecast information |
| - | We checked whether, for a sample of corporate loans with ECL measured on a collective basis, the Group’s policy was applied in the credit rating process |
| - | We involved credit risk professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in: (i) using statistical methods to analyze the correlation between the future economic forecast information and PDs and LGDs; (ii) assessing the reasonableness of the rationale for the selection of the final model by checking the appropriateness and the reasonableness of the model selection criteria by statistically; and (iii) checking the accuracy of the PDs and LGDs which incorporated future economic forecast information by a recalculation. |
Other Matter
The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to audit such consolidated financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with KSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with KSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. |
| | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
| | Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
- 3 -
| | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| (5) | The financial support that the Group provides to consolidated structured entities is as follows: |
| | Structured entity for asset securitization |
The structured entity is established for the purpose of securitization of project financing loans, corporate bonds, and other financial assets. The Group is involved with the structured entity through provision of credit facility over asset-backed commercial papers issued by the entity, originating loans directly to the structured entity, or purchasing 100% of the subordinated debts issued by the structured entity.
| | Structured entity for the investments in securities |
The structured entity is established for the purpose of investments in securities. The Group acquires beneficiary certificates through its contribution of funding to the structured entity by the Group, and it is exposed to the risk that it may not be able to recover its funds depending on the result of investment performance of asset managers of the structured entity.
| | Money trust under the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act |
The Group provides with financial guarantee of principal and interest or solely principal to some of its trust products. Due to the financial guarantees, the Group may be obliged when the principal and interest or principal of the trust product sold is short of the guaranteed amount depending on the result of investment performance of the trust product.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group provides 2,429,099 million Won and 2,166,871 million Won of credit facilities, respectively, for the structured entities mentioned above. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the purchase commitment amounts to 3,638,934 million Won and 2,817,626 million Won, respectively.
| (6) | The Group has entered into various agreements with structured entities such as asset securitization, structured finance, investment fund, and trust contract. The characteristics of interests and the nature of risks related to unconsolidated structured entities over which the Group does not have control in accordance with K-IFRS 1110 are as follows: |
The interests in unconsolidated structured entities that the Group hold are classified into asset securitization, structured finance, investment fund and real-estate trust, based on the nature and the purpose of each structured entity.
Unconsolidated structured entities classified as ‘asset securitization’ are entities that issue asset-backed securities, pay the principal and interest or distribute dividends on asset-backed securities through borrowings or profits from the management, operation and sale of securitized assets. The Group has been purchasing commitments of asset-backed securities or issuing asset-backed securities through credit grants and recognizes related interest or fee revenue. There are entities that provide additional funding and conditional debt acquisition commitments before the Group’s financial support, but the Group is still exposed to losses arising from the purchase of financial assets issued by the structured entities when it fails to renew the securities.
Unconsolidated structured entities classified as ‘structured finance’ include real estate project financing investment vehicles, social overhead capital companies, and special purpose companies for ship (aircraft) financing. Each entity is incorporated as a separate company with a limited purpose in order to efficiently pursue business goals and the fund is raised by equity investment or loans from financial institutions and participating institutions. ‘Structured financing’ is a financing method for large-scale risky business, with investments made based on feasibility of the specific business or project, instead of credit of business owner or physical collaterals. The investors receive profits from the operation of the business. The Group recognizes interest revenue, profit or loss from assessment or transactions of financial instruments, or dividend income. With regard to uncertainties involving structured financing, there are entities that provide financial support such as additional funds, guarantees and prioritized credit grants prior to the Group’s intervention, but the Group is exposed to possible losses due to loss of principal from reduction in investment value or irrecoverable loans arising from failure to collect scheduled cash flows and cessation of projects.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Unconsolidated structured entities classified as ‘investment funds’ include investment trusts and private equity funds. An investment trust orders the investment and operation of funds to the trust manager in accordance with trust contract with profits distributed to the investors. Private equity funds finance money required to acquire equity securities to enable direction of management and/or improvement of ownership structure, with profit distributed to the investors. The Group recognizes pro rata amount of dividend income as an investor in the same way as ‘structured finance’ and may be exposed to losses due to reduction in investment value. Investments in MMF (Money Market Funds), ETF(Exchange Traded Funds) and Listed Investment Fund as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are 1,862,861 million Won and 187,159 million Won, respectively, and there are no additional commitments for these funds.
‘Real estate trust’ is to be entrusted as the underlying property for the purpose of managing, disposing, operating or developing from the consignor who owns the property and distributes the proceeds achieved through the trust to the beneficiary. When the consignee does not fulfill his or her important obligations in the trust contract or it is, in fact, difficult to run the business, the Group may be exposed to the threat of compensating for the loss.
The total assets of the unconsolidated structured entity held by the Group, the carrying amount of the items recognized in the consolidated financial statements, the maximum loss exposure, and the losses from the unconsolidated structured entity are as follows. The maximum loss exposure includes the amount of investment recognized in the consolidated financial statements and the amount that is likely to be confirmed in the future when satisfies certain conditions by contracts such as purchase commitments and credit offerings.

| 2. | BASIS OF PREPARATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
(1) Basis of presentation
The Group maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (K-IFRS). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the Korean language financial statements.
Certain information attached to the Korean language financial statements but not required for a fair presentation of the Group’s financial position, financial performance or cash flows, is not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with K-IFRS. These are the standards, subsequent amendments and related interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that have been adopted by the Republic of Korea.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements, as described in following paragraphs of accounting policy, are prepared at the end of each reporting period on historical cost basis, except for certain non-current assets and financial assets that are either revalued or measured in fair value. Historical cost is generally measured at the fair value of consideration given to acquire assets.
Meanwhile, the consolidated financial statements of the Group were initially approved by the Board of Directors on February 6, 2026, subsequently amended and approved on February 27, 2026, and are scheduled to be approved at the annual shareholder’s meeting on March 23, 2026.
| 1) | The standards and interpretations that are newly adopted by the Group during the current period, and the changes in accounting policies thereof are as follows: |
i) Amendments to K-IFRS 1021 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates and 1101 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Lack of Exchangeability
When an entity estimates a spot exchange rate because exchangeability between two currencies is lacking, the entity shall disclose related information. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
ii) Amendment to K-IFRS No. 1117 “Insurance Contracts”
If the estimation techniques used for inputs in measuring insurance contracts differ from the fundamental estimation techniques required by insurance-related regulations, and if such differences and their effects on the consolidated financial statements are considered relevant and material to users of the financial statements, they shall be disclosed. The amendment to this standard does not have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
| 2) | As of the approval date of the financial statements, the following Korean International Financial Reporting Standards have been issued and announced but are not yet effective, and the Group has not early adopted them. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
i) 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 amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and earlier application is permitted. The Group does not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. These amendments:
| | 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 instrument 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). |
ii) Annual Improvements to K-IFRS
Annual Improvements to K-IFRS should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and earlier application is permitted. The Group does not expect the amendments to have a significant impact on the consolidated 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 |
The above enacted or amended standards will not have a significant impact on the Group.
iii) 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 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.

iv) Standards to Korean IFRS 1118 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’
K-IFRS 1118 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ replaces K-IFRS 1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements.’ The new presentation requirements introduced by K-IFRS 1118 are expected to enhance comparability of financial performance between similar entities, particularly with respect to the definition of operating profit. In addition, the disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures will improve transparency. The standard applies to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. In accordance with the retrospective application requirements of the standard, comparative information for the financial year ending December 31, 2026, will be restated in accordance with K-IFRS 1118.
The consolidated entity has not yet adopted K-IFRS 1118 and is in the process of preparing a transition plan. It is on track to report its first interim financial statements under K-IFRS 1118 for the period ending March 31, 2027, and its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2027, as scheduled.
The management is currently reviewing the impact of the application of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements of the subsidiaries. While the adoption of the standard is not expected to affect the consolidated net income, it is anticipated to affect the calculation and reporting of operating profit, as revenues and expenses in the income statement will be reclassified into new categories.
It is assessed that the above amendments and revisions to the standards will not have a material impact on the consolidated companies.
(2) Basis of consolidated financial statement presentation
The consolidated financial statements consist of the financial statements of the Parent company and the entities (including structured entities) controlled by the parent company (or its subsidiaries, which is the “Group”). Control is achieved where the Group 1) has the power over the investee, 2) is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and 3) able to use its power to affect its returns. The Group reassesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the Group has less than most of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether the Group’s voting rights in an investee are enough to give it power, including:
| | The relative size of the Group’s holding of voting rights and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders; |
| | Potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties; |
| | Rights arising from other contractual arrangements; |
| | Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Group has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ meetings. |
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary. The carrying amount of the non-controlling interest after the acquisition is the amount initially recognized plus the amount of proportionate interest of the non-controlling interest in the changes in equity since the acquisition. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owner of the Group and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a negative (-) balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
All intra-group transactions and related assets and liabilities, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owner of the Parent company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. When assets of the subsidiary are carried at revalued amounts or fair values and the related cumulative gain or loss has been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the relevant assets (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred directly to retained earnings). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognized as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under K-IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
(3) Business combinations
Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, liabilities assumed by the Group for the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
At the acquisition date, the acquiree’s identifiable acquires assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognized at their fair value, except for the followings:
| | Deferred tax assets or liabilities and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with K-IFRS 1012 Income Taxes and K-IFRS 1019 Employee Benefits, respectively; |
| | Liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree, or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with K-IFRS 1102 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date; and |
| | Non-current assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale are measured in accordance with K-IFRS 1105 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations |
Any excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interest (if any) in the acquiree over the net of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed of the acquiree at the acquisition date is recognized as goodwill.
If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognized immediately in net income as a bargain purchase gain.
The subsidiary’s non-controlling interests are identified separately from the Group’s equity. If the element of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is the current interest at the acquisition date and the holder is entitled to a proportional share of the entity’s net assets, the non-controlling interest can be measured in 1) fair value or 2) proportionate share of the current equity instrument of the amount recognized for the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. The selection of these metrics is made for each acquisition transaction. All other non-controlling interests are measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
The carrying amount of the non-controlling interest after acquisition reflects the proportional interest of the non-controlling interest in changes in equity after acquisition in the initial recognition amount. Even if the non-controlling interest is a negative (-) balance, total comprehensive income is attributed to the non-controlling interest.
When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.
The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that does not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration other than the above is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognized in profit or loss.
When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at fair value at the acquisition date (i.e., the date when the Group obtains control) and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in net income (or other comprehensive income, if applicable). Amounts arising from changes in value of interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized, identical to the treatment assuming interests are sold directly.
If the initial accounting for a business combination is not completed by the end of the reporting period in which the business combination occurred, the Group reports in consolidated financial statements the provisional number of items that have not been accounted for. If there is new information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date during the measurement period (see above), the Group retrospectively adjusts the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date or recognizes additional assets and liabilities to reflect the information that would have affected the measurement of the amount recognized at the acquisition date if it had already known at the acquisition date.
(4) Investments in joint ventures and associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence, and that is not a subsidiary or a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in making decisions on the financial and operating policy of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to net assets relating to the arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
The net income of current period and the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures and associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting, except when the investment is classified as held for sale, in which case it is accounted for in accordance with K-IFRS 1105 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Under the equity method, an investment in the joint ventures and associates is initially recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the net assets of the joint ventures and associates and any impairment. When the Group’s share of losses of the joint ventures and associates exceeds the Group’s interest in the associate, the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures and associates.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Investment in joint ventures and associates are accounted for and applied with the equity method from the time the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the joint ventures and associates recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of acquisition exists after the review, it is recognized immediately in net income.
The requirements of K-IFRS 1028 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures to determine whether there has been a loss event are applied to identify whether it is necessary to recognize any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in the joint ventures and associates. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with K-IFRS 1036 - Impairment of Assets as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with it carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset (including goodwill), which forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized in accordance with K-IFRS 1036 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
The Group ceases to use the equity method from the time it fails meet the definition of an associate or a joint venture. Upon a loss of significant influence over the joint ventures and associates, the Group discontinues the use of the equity method and measures at fair value of any investment that the Group retains in the former joint ventures and associates from the date when the Group loses significant influence. The fair value of the investment is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset in accordance with K-IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments; Recognition and Measurement. The Group recognized differences between the carrying amount and fair value in net income and it is included in determination of the gain or loss on disposal of joint ventures and associates. The Group accounts for all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to joint ventures and associates on the same basis as would be required if the joint ventures and associates had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income by an associate or a joint venture would be reclassified to net income on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to net income as a reclassification adjustment.
When the Group’s ownership of interest in an associate or a joint venture decreases but the Group continues to maintain significant influence over an associate or a joint venture, the Group reclassifies to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that decrease in ownership interest if the gain or loss would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities. Meanwhile, if interest on associate or joint venture meets the definition of non-current asset held for sale, it is accounted for in accordance with K-IFRS 1105.
The Group continues to use the equity method when an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture or an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate. There is no remeasurement of fair value upon such changes in ownership interests.
When the Group transacts with an associate or a joint venture of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate or joint venture are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate or joint venture that are not related to the Group.
The Group applies K-IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments, including the impairment requirements, to its long-term investment interests in associates and joint ventures that form part of its net investment without applying the equity method. In addition, when applying K-IFRS 1109 to long-term investments, the Group does not consider adjustments to the carrying amount required by K-IFRS 1028. Examples of such adjustments include an impairment assessment or an adjustment to the carrying amount of long-term investment interest resulting from the allocation of losses to the investee in accordance with K-IFRS 1028.

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating the interest income over the expected life of the asset. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows to the instrument’s initial unamortized cost over the expected period, or shorter if appropriate. Future cash flows include commissions and cost of reward points (limited to the primary component of effective interest rate) and other premiums or discounts that are paid or received between the contractual parties when calculating the effective interest rate, but does not include expected credit losses. All contractual terms of a financial instrument are considered when estimating future cash flows.
For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest revenue is recognized by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition. Even if the financial asset is no longer impaired in the subsequent periods due to credit improvement, the basis of interest revenue calculation is not changed from amortized cost to unamortized cost of the financial assets.

| ② | Loan origination fees and costs |
The commission fees earned on loans, which is part of the effective interest of loans, are accounted for as deferred origination fees. Incremental costs related to the origination of loans are accounted for as deferred origination fees and are being added or deducted to/from interest income on loans using effective interest rate method.
| 3) | Dividend income |
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive dividends as a shareholder is confirmed. Dividend income is recognized as an appropriate item of profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income according to the classification of financial instruments.
(7) Accounting for foreign currencies
The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Korean Won, which is the functional currency of the Group. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at its prevailing exchange rates at the date. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of a derivative that qualifies as a cash flow hedge and the foreign exchange differences on monetary items that form part of net investment in foreign operations are recognized in equity.
Assets and liabilities of the foreign operations subject to consolidation are translated into Korean Won at foreign exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. Except for situations in which it is required to use exchange rates at the date of transaction due to significant changes in exchange rates during the period, items that belong to profit or loss shall be measured by average exchange rate, with foreign exchange differences recognized as other comprehensive income and added to equity (allocated to non-controlling interests, if appropriate). When foreign operations are disposed, the controlling interest’s share of accumulated foreign exchange differences related to such foreign operations will be reclassified to profit or loss, while non-controlling interest’s corresponding share will not be reclassified.
Adjustments to fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities, and goodwill arising from the acquisition of foreign operations will be treated as assets and liabilities of the corresponding foreign operation and translated using foreign exchange rates at the end of the period. The foreign exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(8) Cash and cash equivalents
The Group classifies cash on hand, demand deposits, interest-earning deposits with original maturities of up to three months on acquisition date, and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value as cash and cash equivalents.
(9) Financial assets and financial liabilities
| 1) | Financial assets |
A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized or derecognized on the trade or settlement date. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose term requires delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified into financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at FVTOCI, and financial assets at amortized cost according to its business model and contractual cash flows.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| a) | Business model |
The Group evaluates the way business is being managed, and the purpose of the business model for managing a financial asset best reflects the way information is provided to the management at its portfolio level. Such information considers the following:
| | The accounting policies and purpose specified for the portfolio, the actual operation of such policies. This includes strategy of the management focusing on the receipt of contractual interest revenue, maintaining a certain level of interest income, matching the duration of financial assets and the duration of corresponding liabilities to obtain the asset, and outflow or realization of expected cash flows from disposal of assets |
| | The way the performance of a financial asset is held under the business model is evaluated, and the way such evaluation is being reported to the management |
| | The risk affecting the performance of the business model (and financial assets held under the business model), and the way such risk is being managed |
| | The compensation plan for the management (e.g. whether the management is compensated based on the fair value of assets or based on contractual cash flows received) |
| | Frequency, amount, timing and reason for sale of financial assets in the past and forecast of future sale activities. |
| b) | Contractual cash flows |
The principal is defined to be the fair value of financial assets at initial recognition. Interest is not only composed of consideration for the time value of money, consideration for the credit risk related to remaining principal at a certain period of time, and consideration for other costs (e.g. liquidity risk and cost of operation) and fundamental risk associated with lending but also profit.
When evaluating whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interests, the Group considers the contractual terms of the financial instrument. When a financial asset contains contractual conditions that modify the timing and amount of contractual cash flows, it is required to determine whether contractual cash flows that arise during the remaining life of the financial instrument due to such contractual conditions are solely payments of principal and interest. The Group considers the following elements when evaluating the above:
| | Conditions that lead to modification of timing or amount of cash flows |
| | Contractual terms that adjust contractual nominal interest, including floating rate features |
| | Early payment features and maturity extension features |
| | Contractual terms that limit the Group’s claim on cash flows arising from certain assets |
| ① | Financial assets at FVTPL |
The Group classifies those financial assets that are not classified as either financial assets at amortized cost or financial assets at FVTOCI, and those designated to be measured at FVTPL, as financial assets at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, and related profit or loss is recognized in net income. Transaction costs related to acquisition at initial recognition are recognized in net income immediately upon its occurrence.
It is possible to designate a financial asset as financial asset at FVTPL if at initial recognition: (a) it is possible to remove or significantly reduce recognition or measurement mismatch that may otherwise have occurred if not for its designation as financial asset at FVTPL; (b) the financial asset forms part of the Group’s financial instrument group (a group composed of a combination of financial asset or liability), is measured at fair value and is being evaluated for its performance, and such information is provided internally; and (c) the financial asset is part of a contract that contains one or more of embedded derivatives, and is a hybrid contract in which designation as financial asset at FVTPL is allowed under K-IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments. However, the designation is irrevocable.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| ② | Financial assets at FVTOCI |
When financial assets are held under a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and when contractual cash flows from such financial assets are solely payments of principal and interest, the financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTOCI. Also, for investments in equity instruments that are not held for short-term trade, an irrevocable election is available at initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value as other comprehensive income.
At initial recognition, financial assets at FVTOCI are measured at its fair value plus any direct transaction cost, and are subsequently measured in fair value. However, for equity instruments that do not have a quotation in an active market and in which fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost. The income tax effects related to the changes in fair value except for profit or loss items such as impairment losses (reversals), interest revenue calculated by using effective interest method, and foreign exchange gain or loss about debt instruments are recognized as other comprehensive income until the asset’s disposal. Upon derecognition, the accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to net income for FVTOCI (debt instrument) and reclassified within the equity for FVTOCI (equity instruments).
| ③ | Financial assets at amortized cost |
When financial assets are held under a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and when contractual cash flows from such financial assets are solely payments of principal and interest, the financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortized cost. At initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost are recognized at fair value plus any direct transaction cost. Financial assets at amortized cost are presented at amortized cost using effective interest method, less any loss allowance.
| 2) | Financial liabilities |
At initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into either financial liabilities at FVTPL or financial liabilities at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities are usually classified as financial liabilities at FVTPL when they are acquired with a purpose to repurchase them within a short period of time, when they are part of a certain financial instrument portfolio that is actually and recently being managed with a purpose of short-term profit and joint management by the Group at initial recognition, and when they are derivatives that do not qualify as hedging instruments. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value plus direct transaction cost at initial recognition, and are subsequently measured at fair value. Profit or loss arising from financial liabilities at FVTPL is recognized in net income when occurred.
It is possible to designate a financial liability as financial liability at FVTPL if at initial recognition: (a) it is possible to remove or significantly reduce recognition or measurement mismatch that may otherwise have occurred if not for its designation as financial liability at FVTPL; (b) the financial asset forms part of the Group’s financial instrument group (a group composed of a combination of financial asset or liability) according to the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, is measured at fair value and is being evaluated for its performance, and such information is provided internally; and (c) the financial liability is part of a contract that contains one or more of embedded derivatives, and is a hybrid contract in which designation as financial liability at FVTPL is allowed under K-IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments.
Financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value, with any direct transaction cost recognized in profit or loss, and are subsequently measured at fair value. Any profit or loss from financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities not classified as financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| 3) | Reclassification |
Financial assets are not reclassified after initial recognition unless the Group modifies the business model used to manage financial assets. When the Group modifies the business model used to manage financial assets, all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period after the modification.
| 4) | Derecognition |
Financial assets are derecognized when contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets are expired, or when substantially all of risk and reward for holding financial assets is transferred to another entity as a result of a sale of financial assets. If the Group does not have and does not transfer substantially all of the risk and reward of holding financial assets with control of the transferred financial assets retained, the Group recognizes financial assets to the extent of its continuing involvement. If the Group holds substantially all the risk and reward of holding a financial asset, it continues to recognize that asset and proceeds are accounted for as collateralized borrowings.
When a financial asset is fully derecognized, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of proceeds and accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized as profit or loss in case of FVTOCI (debt instruments), and as retained earnings for FVTOCI (equity instruments).
In case when a financial asset is not fully derecognized, the Group allocates the carrying amount into amounts retained in the books and removed from the books, based on the relative fair value of each portion at the date of sale, and based on the degree of continuing involvement. For the derecognized portion of the financial assets, the difference between its carrying amount and the sum of proceeds and the portion of accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to that portion will be recognized in profit or loss in case of debt instruments and recognized in retained earnings in case of equity instruments. The accumulated other comprehensive income is distributed to the portion of carrying amount retained in the books, and to the portion of carrying amount removed from the books.
The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
When the Group exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with substantially different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the Group accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability. It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 percent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability.
| 5) | Fair value of financial instruments |
Financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVTOCI are measured and presented in consolidated financial statements at their fair values, and all derivatives are also subject to fair value measurement.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to exchange an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a recent transaction between independent parties that are reasonable and willing. Fair value is the transaction price of identical financial assets or financial liabilities generated in an active market. An active market is a market where trade volume is sufficient and objective price information is available due to the fact that bid and ask price differences are small.
- 44 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
When trade volume of a financial instrument is low, when transaction prices within the market show large differences among them, or when it cannot be concluded that a financial instrument is being traded within an active market due to disclosures being extremely shallow, fair value is measured using valuation techniques based on alternative market information or using internal valuation techniques based on general and observable information obtained from objective sources. Market information includes maturity and characteristics, duration, similar yield curve, and variability measurement of financial instruments of similar nature. Fair value amount contains unique assumptions on each entity (the Group concluded that it is using assumptions applied in valuing financial instruments in the market, or risk-adjusted assumptions in case marketability does not exist).
The market approach and income approach, which are valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, both require significant judgment. Market approach measures fair value using either a recent transaction price that includes the financial instrument, or observable information on comparable firm or assets. Income approach measures fair value through discounting future cash flows with a discount rate reflecting market expectations, and revenue, operating income, depreciation, capital expenditures, income tax, working capital and estimated residual value of financial investments are being considered when deriving future cash flows. Valuation techniques such as the above include estimates based on the financial instruments’ complexity and usefulness of observable information in the market.
The valuation techniques used in the evaluation of financial instruments are explained below.
| a) | Financial assets at FVTPL and Financial assets at FVTOCI |
The fair value of equity securities included in financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVTOCI category is recognized in the statement of financial position at its available market price. Debt securities traded in the over-the-counter market are generally recognized at an amount computed by an independent appraiser. When the Group uses the fair value determined by independent appraisers, the Group usually obtains three values from three different appraisers for each financial instrument and selects the minimum amount without making additional adjustments. For equity securities without marketability, the Group uses the amount determined by the independent appraiser. The Group verifies the prices obtained from appraisers in various ways, including the evaluation of independent appraisers’ competency, indirect verification through comparison between appraisers’ price and other available market information, and reperformed by employees who have knowledge of valuation models and assumptions that appraisers used.
| b) | Derivatives |
The Group’s transactions involving derivatives such as futures and exchange-traded options are measured at market value. For exchange traded derivatives classified as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, the fair value is estimated using internal valuation techniques. If there are no publicly available market prices because they are traded over-the-counter, fair value is measured through internal valuation techniques. When using internal valuation techniques to derive fair value, the types of derivatives, base interest rate or characteristics of prices, or stock market indices are considered. When variables used in the internal valuation techniques are not observable information in the market, such variables may contain significant estimates.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| c) | Adjustment of valuation amount |
The Group is exposed to credit risk when a counterparty to a derivative contract does not perform its contractual obligation, and the exposure amount is equal to the amount of derivative asset recognized in the statement of financial position. When the Group earns income through valuation of derivatives, such income is recognized as derivative asset in the statement of financial position. Some of the derivatives are traded in the market, but most of the derivatives are measured at estimated fair value derived from internal valuation models that use observable information in the market. As such, in order to estimate the fair value, there should be an adjustment made to incorporate counterparty’s credit risk, and credit risk adjustment is being considered when valuing derivative assets such as over-the-counter derivatives. The amount of financial liabilities is also adjusted by the Group’s own credit risk when valuing them.
The amount of adjustment is derived from counterparty’s probability of default and loss given default. This adjustment considers contractual matters that are designed to reduce the Group’s exposure to each counterparty’s credit risk. When derivatives are under master netting arrangement, the exposure used in the computation of credit risk adjustment is a net amount after adding/deducting cash collateral received (or paid) from loss (or gain) position derivatives with the same counterparty.
| 6) | Expected credit losses on financial assets |
The Group recognizes loss allowance for expected credit losses for the following assets:
| | Financial assets at amortized cost |
| | Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI |
| | Contract assets as defined by K-IFRS 1115 |
Expected credit losses are weighted-average value of a range of possible results, considering the time value of money, and are measured by incorporating information on current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions that are available without undue cost or effort.
The methods to measure expected credit losses are classified into following three categories in accordance with K-IFRS:
| | General approach: Financial assets that do not belong to below two models and unused loan commitments |
| | Simplified approach: When financial assets are either trade receivables, contract assets or lease receivables |
| | Credit impairment model: Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets |
The measurement of loss allowance under general approach is differentiated depending on whether the credit risk has increased significantly after initial recognition. That is, loss allowance is measured based on 12-month expected credit loss when the credit risk has not increased significantly after initial recognition, while loss allowance is measured at lifetime expected credit loss when credit risk has increased significantly. Lifetime is the expected remaining life of the financial instrument up to the maturity date of the contract.
The measurement of loss allowance under simplified approach is always based on lifetime expected credit loss, and loss allowance under credit impairment model is measured as the cumulative change in lifetime expected credit loss since initial recognition.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| a) | Measurement of expected credit losses on financial asset at amortized cost |
The expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost is measured by the difference between the contractual cash flow during the period and the present value of expected cash flows. Expected cash inflows are computed for individually significant financial assets in order to calculate expected credit losses. When financial assets that are not individually significant, they are included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and expected credit losses of the group are calculated collectively.
Expected credit losses are deducted through loss allowance account, and when the financial asset is determined to be uncollectible, the loss allowance is written off from the books along with the related financial asset.
| b) | Measurement of expected credit losses on financial assets at FVTOCI(Debt instruments) |
The measurement method of expected credit loss is identical to financial asset at amortized cost, but changes in the loss allowance are recognized in other comprehensive income. When financial assets at FVTOCI is disposed or repaid, the related loss allowance is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income.
| (10) | Offsetting financial instruments |
Financial assets and liabilities are presented as a net amount in the statements of financial position when the Group has an enforceable legal right and an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize an asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
| (11) | Investment properties |
The Group classifies a property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation as an investment property. Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs, less subsequent depreciation and impairment.
Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as a separate asset if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the assets will flow into the Group and the cost of an asset can be measured reliably, and the carrying amount of a portion of an asset that are replaced by a subsequent expenditure is removed from the books. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
While land is not depreciated, all other investment properties are depreciated based on the depreciation method and useful lives of premises and equipment. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, and when it is deemed appropriate to change them, the effect of any change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimates.
An investment property is derecognized from the consolidated financial statements on disposal or when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected even from its disposal. The gain or loss on the derecognition of an investment property is calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the property and is recognized in profit or loss in the period of the derecognition.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| (12) | Premises and equipment |
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of premises and equipment is expenditure directly attributable to their purchase or construction, which includes any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. It also includes the initial estimate of costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of an asset or as a separate asset (if appropriate) if it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the assets will flow into the Group and the cost of an asset can be measured reliably. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
While land is not depreciated, for all other premises and equipment, depreciation is charged to net income on a straight-line basis by applying the following estimated economic useful lives on the amount of cost or revalued amount less residual value.
| Useful life | ||
| Buildings used for business purpose | 26 to 57 years | |
| Structures in leased office | 4 to 5 years | |
| Properties for business purpose | 4 to 7 years |
The Group reassesses the depreciation method, the estimated useful lives and residual values of premises and equipment at the end of each reporting period. If changes in the estimates are deemed appropriate, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate. When there is an indicator of impairment and the carrying amount of a premises and equipment item exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount of such asset is reduced to the recoverable amount.
(13) Intangible assets and goodwill
The Group recognizes the acquisition cost of an intangible asset as the manufacturing cost or purchase cost plus additional incidental expenses. Development costs are the sum of expenditures incurred after the asset recognition requirements, such as technical feasibility and future economic benefits, are met. After the initial recognition, the carrying value is presented as the accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses deducted from the cost.
The Group’s intangible asset is amortized over the following economic lives using the straight-line method. However, for some intangible assets, the period of time that is expected to be available is not predictable, so the useful life of some intangible assets is assessed as indefinite and not depreciated.
The estimated useful life and amortization method of intangible assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. If changes in the estimates are deemed appropriate, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.
| Useful life | ||
| Industrial property rights | 5 to 10 years | |
| Development costs | 5 years | |
| Software and others | 1 to 10 years |
In addition, when an indicator that intangible assets are impaired is noted, and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an impairment test at the cash-generating unit level every year, and whenever there is an indicator that goodwill is impaired.
- 48 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognized directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
(14) Impairment of non-monetary assets
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment. All other assets are tested for impairment by estimating the recoverable amount when there is an objective indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverable amount is the higher of value in use or net fair value, less costs to sell. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and such impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income.
(15) Leases
The Group determines whether the contract is a lease or includes a lease at the time of the contract agreement. In exchange for consideration in a contract, the contract is either a lease or includes a lease if the control over the use of the identified asset is transferred for a period of time. In determining whether a contract transfers control over the use of the asset to which it is identified, the Group uses the definition of lease in K-IFRS 1116.
| ① | The Group as a lessee |
The Group recognizes the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date(less any lease incentives received), initial direct costs, and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement of the lease to the end of the lease term. However, if the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, the lessee depreciates the right-of-use asset same as a fixed asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. The right-of-use asset may be reduced by an impairment of the underlying asset or adjusted by remeasurement of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. The Group generally uses the incremental borrowing rate.
The Group makes adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and the characteristics of the lease asset in interest rates obtained from external financial information, and calculates the incremental borrowing rate.
The Group calculates the lease term by including the relevant period when it is quite certain that the lessee will exercise the extension option or the termination option. The Group calculates the enforceable period in consideration of the economic disadvantages of terminating the contract if the lessee and the lessor have the right to terminate it without the consent of the other parties.
- 49 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
The lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
| | Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) |
| | Variable lease payments that depend on an index (or a rate), are initially measured using the index or a rate as at the commencement date |
| | Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees |
| | The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, lease payments of the extended period if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise extension option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease |
The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest expense recognized for the lease liability and decreased by reflecting the payment of the lease payments. The lease liability is remeasured if the future lease payments change depending on changes in the index (or a rate), changes in the expected amount to be paid under the residual value guarantee, and changes in the assessment of whether the purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or not to exercise the terminate option.
When remeasuring a lease liability, the related right-of-use asset is adjusted and if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset decreases to zero, the remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss.
The Group applies its judgment when determining the lease term for some lease contracts that include the extension option. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the option significantly affects the lease term and therefore has a significant impact on the amount of lease liabilities and the right-of-use asset.
Because the Group can replace the assets without significant cost or business discontinuation, the option to extend the lease is not included in the lease liability in most offices and vehicle transport leases.
The Group reevaluates the lease term when the option is exercised (or not exercised) or the Group is liable to exercise (or not exercise) the option. Group will change its judgment only when significant events occur that affect the lessee’s control and the determination of the lease term, or there is a significant change in the circumstances.
Lease liabilities and right-of-use-asset increased by 7,373 million Won, reflecting the exercise impact of the extension and termination options during the current term.
In the statement of financial position, the Group classified the right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property as ‘premises and equipment’ and the lease liabilities as ‘other financial liabilities.’
The Group has chosen a practical expedient that does not recognize the right-of-use asset and lease liabilities for short-term leases with a lease term of less than 12 months and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
| ② | The Group as a lessor |
At the date of the agreement or the effective date of the modification containing the lease element, the Group allocates the consideration of the contract to each lease element based on its relative stand-alone price.
As a lessor, the Group classifies its leases as either a finance lease or an operating lease at the commencement date.
- 50 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
The Group subsequently judges whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset, otherwise a lease is classified as an operating lease.
If the agreement contains both lease and non-lease elements, the Group applies K-IFRS 1115 to allocate the consideration of the contract.
The Group applies the derecognition and impairment provisions of K-IFRS 1109 to its net investment in the lease. The Group also carries out regular reviews of the unguaranteed residual value used to calculate total lease investment.
The Group recognizes lease payments from operating lease as income on a straight-line basis.
The accounting policy that the Group has applied as a lessor is not different from K-IFRS 1116.
(16) Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments are classified as forwards, futures, options and swaps, depending on the types of transactions and are classified at the point of transaction as either trading or hedging based on its purpose.
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date of contract and are subsequently measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in net income immediately unless the derivative is designated or effective as a hedging instrument. If derivatives have been designated as hedging instruments and if it is effective, the point of recognition of gain or loss depends on the characteristics of hedging relationship.
Derivatives that have positive (+) fair values are recognized as financial assets and those that have negative (-) fair values are recognized as financial liabilities. Derivatives are not offset in the consolidated financial statements unless they have legally enforceable rights to set off or are intended to set off.
| 1) | Embedded derivatives |
Embedded derivatives are components of a hybrid financial instrument that includes a non-derivative host contract. It has an effect of modifying part of cash flows of the hybrid financial instrument similar to an independent derivative.
Embedded derivatives that are part of a hybrid contract of which the host contract is a financial asset within the scope of K-IFRS 1109 are not separated. The classification is done by considering the hybrid contract as a whole, and subsequent measurement is either at amortized cost or fair value.
If embedded derivatives are part of a hybrid contract of which the host contract is not a financial asset within the scope of K-IFRS 1109 (e.g. financial liability), then these are treated as separate derivatives if embedded derivatives meet the definition of a derivative, characteristics & risk of the embedded derivatives are not closely related to that of host contract, and if the host contract is not measured at FVTPL.

| 2) | Hedge accounting |
The Group is applying K-IFRS 1109 in regard to hedge accounting. The Group is designating certain derivatives as hedging instruments against fair value changes in relation to the interest rate risk, foreign currency translation and interest rate risk, and foreign currency translation risk.
The Group documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items at the commencement of hedging in accordance with their purpose and strategy. Also, the Group documents at the commencement and subsequent dates whether the hedging instrument effectively counters the changes in fair value of hedged items. A hedging instrument is effective only when it meets all the following criteria:
| | When there is an economic relationship between the hedged items and hedging instruments |
| | When the effect of credit risk is not stronger than the change in value due to the economic relationship between the hedged items and hedging instruments |
| | When the hedge ratio of hedging relationship is equal to the proportion of the number of items that the group actually hedges and the number of hedging instruments that the Group actually uses to hedge the number of hedged items |
When a hedging relationship no longer meets the hedging effectiveness requirements related to hedge ratio, but when the purpose of risk management on designated hedging relationship is still maintained, the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is adjusted so that hedging relationship may meet the requirements again (Hedge ratio readjustment).
The Group has designated derivatives as hedging instruments except for the portion on foreign currency basis spread. The fair value change due to foreign currency basis spread is recognized in other comprehensive income and is accumulated in equity. If the hedged item is related to transactions, the accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged item affects the profit or loss. However, when non-monetary items are subsequently recognized due to hedged items, the accumulated equity is removed from the equity directly, and is included in the initial carrying amount of the recognized non-monetary items. Such transfers does not affect other comprehensive income. But if part or all of accumulated equity is not expected to be recovered in the future periods, the amount not expected to be recovered is immediately reclassified to profit or loss. If the hedged item is time-related, then the foreign currency basis spread on the day the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument that is related to the hedged item is reclassified to profit or loss over the term of the hedge.

| 3) | Fair value hedge |
Gain or loss arising from valid hedging instrument is recognized in profit or loss. However, when the hedging instrument mitigates risks on equity instruments designated as financial assets at FVTOCI, related gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.
The carrying amount of hedged items that are not measured in fair value is adjusted by the changes in fair value arising from the hedged risk, with resulting gain or loss reflected in net income. In case of debt instruments measured at FVTOCI, carrying amount is an amount that is already adjusted to fair value and thus gain or loss arising from the hedged risk is recognized in profit or loss instead of other comprehensive income without adjustments in carrying amount. When the hedged item is equity instruments measured at FVTOCI, the gain or loss arising from hedged risk is retained at other comprehensive income in order to match the gain or loss with hedging instruments.
When gains or losses arising from the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss of the current term, they are recognized as items related to the hedged items.
Hedge accounting ceases to apply only when hedging relationship (or part of it) does not meet the requirements of hedge accounting (even after hedging relationship readjustment, if applicable). This treatment is held in case of lapse, disposal, expiry and exercise of hedging instruments, and this cease of treatment applies prospectively. The fair value adjustments made to carrying amount of hedged item due to hedged risk is amortized from the date of discontinuance of hedge accounting and is recognized in profit or loss.
| 4) | Cash flow hedge |
The Group recognizes the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives and other valid hedging instruments that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income to the extent of cumulative fair value changes of the hedged item from the starting date of hedge accounting and it is cumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in net income.
Amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are reclassified to net income when the hedged item affects net income. However, when non-monetary assets or liabilities are subsequently recognized due to expected transactions involving hedged items, the valuation gain or loss accumulated in the equity as other comprehensive income is removed from the equity and included in the initial carrying amount of the recognized non-monetary assets or liabilities. Such transfers do not affect other comprehensive income. Also, if the cash flow hedge reserve is loss and accumulated other comprehensive income is a loss and part or all of the losses are not expected to be recovered in the future periods, the said amount is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
Hedge accounting ceases to apply only when hedging relationship (or part of it) does not meet the requirements of hedge accounting (even after hedging relationship readjustment, if applicable). This treatment is held in case of lapse, disposal, expiry and exercise of hedging instruments, and this cease of treatment applies prospectively. At the point of cessation of cash flow hedge, the valuation gain or loss recognized as accumulated other comprehensive income continues to be recognized as equity, and is reclassified to profit or loss when the expected transaction is ultimately recognized as profit or loss. However, when transactions are no longer expected to occur, the valuation gain or loss of hedging instrument recognized as accumulated other comprehensive income is immediately reclassified to profit or loss.
(17) Assets (or disposal group) held for sale
The Group classifies a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

| (18) | Provisions |
Provisions are recognized if they have present or contractual obligations as a result of the past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation is reliably estimated. A provision is not recognized for the future operating losses.
The Group recognizes provisions related to the payment guarantees, loan commitment and litigations. Under the terms of lease agreement, the cost incurred by the Group to recover the leased asset to its original state are recognized as provisions at the commencement of the lease or during a specific period in which the obligation is incurred as a result of the using the asset. The provisions are measured as the best estimate of the expenditure required to recover the asset, which is regularly reviewed and sated to the new situation.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the probability that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the obligations as a whole. Although the likelihood of outflow for any one item may be small, if it is probable that some outflow of resources will be needed to settle the obligations as a whole, a provision is recognized.
At the end of each reporting period, the remaining provision balance is reviewed and assessed to determine if the current best estimate is being recognized.
(19) Equity instruments issued by the Group
| 1) | Capital and compound financial instruments |
The Group classifies a financial instrument that it issues as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. A financial liability is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The compound financial instruments are financial instruments where it is neither a financial liability nor an equity instrument because it was designed to contain both equity and debt elements.
If the Group reacquires its own equity instruments, the consideration paid including the direct transaction costs (net of tax expense) are presented as a deduction from total equity until such instruments are retired or reissued. When these instruments are reissued, the consideration received (net of direct transaction costs) is included in the shareholder’s equity.
| 2) | Hybrid securities |
The Group classifies hybrid securities that have the unconditional right to avoid contractual obligations, such as to deliver cash or other financial assets in relation to financial instruments into equity instruments and presents as part of equity. Meanwhile, hybrid securities issued by subsidiaries of the group are classified as non-controlling interests according to the criteria, and the distribution paid is treated as net profit attributable to non-controlling interests in the consolidated comprehensive income statement.
(20) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract where the issuer must pay a certain amount of money in order to compensate for losses suffered by the creditor when debtor defaults on a debt instrument in accordance with original or modified contractual terms.
A financial guarantee is initially measured at fair value and is subsequently measured at the higher of the amounts below unless it is designated to be measured at FVTPL or when it arises from disposal of an asset.

| (21) | Employee benefits and pensions |
The Group recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by the employees. Also, the Group recognizes expenses and liabilities in the case of accumulating compensated absences when the employees render services that entitle their right to future compensated absences. Similarly, the Group recognizes expenses and liabilities for customary profit distribution or bonuses when the employees render services, even though the Group does not have legal obligation to do so because it can be construed as constructive obligation.
The Group is operating defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered services entitling them to receive the benefits. For defined benefit plans, the defined benefit liability is calculated through an actuarial assessment using the projected unit credit method at every end of the reporting period, conducted by a professional actuary. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding the amount included in net interest from net defined benefit liability (asset)), and the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling is reflected immediately in the consolidated statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.
Remeasurement recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income is not reclassified to profit or loss in the subsequent periods. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are composed of service costs (including current service cost and past service cost, as well as gains and losses on settlements), net interest expense (income) and remeasurement.
The Group presents the service cost and net interest expense (income) components in profit or loss, and the remeasurement component in other comprehensive income. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Group’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is recognized as an asset limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
Liabilities for termination benefits are recognized at the earlier of either the date when the Group is no longer able to cancel its proposal for termination benefits or the date when the Group has recognized the cost of restructuring that accompanies the payment of termination benefits.
(22) Income taxes
Income tax expense is composed of current tax and deferred tax. That is, income tax expense is composed of taxes payable or refundable during the period and deferred taxes calculated by applying asset-liability method to taxable and deductible temporary differences arising from operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Temporary differences are the differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred income tax benefit or expense is recognized for the change in deferred tax assets or liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured as of the reporting date using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or asset is realized. Deferred tax assets, including the carryforwards of unused tax losses, are recognized to the extent it is probable that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset if, and only if, the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority or when the entity intends to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis with different taxable entities.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Deferred liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit (tax loss) nor the accounting profit.
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity or when it arises from business combination.
The tax uncertainty arises from the compensation claim filed by the Group, and refund litigation for the amount of tax levied by the tax authority due to differences in tax law analysis. In response, the Group paid taxes in accordance with K-IFRS 2123 due to the tax authority’s claim, but recognized as a corporate tax asset if it is highly probable of a refund in the future. In addition, the Group appropriately estimates and reflects the amount of corporate tax liabilities based on the analysis of corporate tax laws and the evaluation of many factors, including past experiences.
(23) Criteria of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”)
Basic EPS is a calculation of net income per common stock. It is calculated by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.
(24) Share-based payment
For cash-settled share-based payment transactions that provide cash in return for the goods or services received, the Group measures the goods or services received, and the corresponding liability at the fair value and recognizes as employee benefit expenses and liabilities during the vesting period. The fair value of the liability is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the settlement date until the liability is settled, and changes in fair value are recognized as employee benefits.
(25) Insurance Contract
| 1) | Definition and classification of insurance contracts |
The Group classifies a contract under which one party (the issuer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholder if a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder as an insurance contract.
The Group determines whether an insurance contract contains significant insurance risk by assessing whether, in at least one scenario that has commercial substance, the insured event could cause the Group to pay significant additional benefits to the policyholder, and this assessment is performed for each contract at the issuance date. As a result, if significant insurance risk is acquired from the policyholder, it is classified as an insurance contract, and if there is no significant transfer of insurance risk, it is classified as an investment contract even if it takes the legal form of an insurance contract. Depending on the classification of the contract, K-IFRS 1117 Insurance Contracts applies to insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation features, and K-IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments applies to investment contracts without discretionary participation features.

| 2) | Level of aggregation |
The Group identifies portfolios of insurance contracts that are exposed to similar risks and managed together, and each portfolio is divided into the following groups of insurance contracts.
| | A group of contracts that are onerous at initial recognition, if any; |
| | a group of contracts that at initial recognition have no significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently, if any; and |
| | a group of the remaining contracts in the portfolio, if any. |
In addition, insurance contracts issued more than one year apart are not included in the same group of insurance contracts. The Group does not subsequently re-evaluate the composition of the group.
| 3) | Recognition |
A group of insurance contracts held by the Group is recognized from the earlier of the following:
| | the beginning of the coverage period of the group of contracts; |
| | the date when the first payment from a policyholder in the group becomes due; and |
| | for a group of onerous contracts, when the group becomes onerous. |
A group of reinsurance contracts held by the Group is recognized from the earlier of the following:
| | The beginning of the coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts held; and |
| | if the Group recognizes an onerous group of underlying insurance contracts on an earlier date and the related reinsurance contract was entered into before that earlier date, then the group of reinsurance contracts is recognized on that earlier date. |
The Group delays the recognition of a group of reinsurance contracts held that provide proportionate coverage until the date that any underlying insurance contract is initially recognized, if that date is later than the beginning of the coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts held.
| 4) | Contract boundaries |
The measurement of a group of insurance contracts includes future cash flows within the boundaries of the contracts in the group. Cash flows are within the boundary of an insurance contract if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the reporting period in which the Group can compel the policyholder to pay the premiums or in which the Group has a substantive obligation to provide the policyholder with insurance contract services A substantive obligation to provide insurance contract services ends when:
| | the Group has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the particular policyholder and, as a result, can set a price or level of benefits that fully reflect those risks; or |
| | the Group has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the portfolio of insurance contracts that contains the contract and, as a result, can set a price or level of benefits that fully reflects the risk of that portfolio; and the pricing of the premiums up to the date when the risks are reassessed does not take into account the risks that relate to periods after the reassessment date. |

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| 5) | Measurement |
| A) | Initial measurement |
On initial recognition, the Group measures a group of insurance contracts at the total of:
| | the fulfilment cash flows, which comprise estimates of future cash flows, an adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash flows, and a risk adjustment for non-financial risk; and |
| | the contractual service margin |
Risk adjustment for non-financial risk of a group of insurance contracts is a liability that adjusts the estimate of the present value of the future cash flows to reflect the compensation that the entity requires for bearing the uncertainty about the amount and timing of the cash flows that arises from non-financial risk.
Contractual service margin of a group of insurance contracts is unearned profit that would be recognized by providing insurance service in the future. If the fulfilment cash flows of a group of insurance contracts at the date of initial recognition are a net inflow, contractual service margin is measured so that there is no revenue or expense in the group of insurance contracts at the date of initial recognition.
In contrast, if the fulfilment cash flows of a group of insurance contracts at the date of initial recognition are a net outflow, the group of insurance contracts is classified as onerous. And the Group recognizes a loss in profit or loss for the net outflow. The loss component, depicting the losses recognized, determines the amounts that are presented in profit or loss as reversals of losses on onerous groups and are consequently excluded from the determination of insurance revenue.
Representation of insurance contracts assets and insurance contracts liabilities are determined in accordance with a sum of fulfilment cash flows and contractual service margin, on a portfolio basis.
| B) | Subsequent measurement |
The book amount of the group of insurance contracts as of the end of the reporting period is the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims. The liability for remaining coverage consists of fulfilment cash flows and contractual service margin related to future services allocated to the group of insurance contracts as of the end of the reporting period. The liability for incurred claims consists of fulfilment cash flows related to past service allocated to the group at that date, including fulfilment cash flows for insurance claims and insurance costs that have not yet been paid.
The Group measures insurance contracts with direct participation features by applying the variable fee approach in accordance with K-IFRS 1117 Insurance Contracts. Under the variable fee approach, changes in the obligation to pay an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying items are not adjusted against the contractual service margin, whereas changes in the group’s share of the fair value of the underlying items and changes in fulfilment cash flows that do not vary based on the returns on the underlying items are adjusted against the contractual service margin.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| C) | Measurement of reinsurance contract |
The Group applies the same accounting policies applied to the measurement of groups of insurance contracts to the measurement of groups of reinsurance contracts, except for the following.
The Group includes in the estimates of the present value of the future cash flows for the group of reinsurance contracts held the effect of any risk of non-performance by the issuer of the reinsurance contract, including the effects of collateral and losses from disputes. The effect of the reinsurer’s default risk is remeasured at the end of each reporting period, and the effect of changes in default risk are recognized in profit or loss.
The Group calculates risk adjustments for non-financial risks to reflect the risks transferred to the reinsurer.
Considering the characteristics of reinsurance contracts, even if the fulfilment cash flow at the time of initial recognition is a net outflow, the contract is neither classified as onerous group of contracts nor recognizes the expected net outflow in profit or loss.
The Group may use the premium allocation approach to simplify the measurement of a group of reinsurance contracts held, if at the inception of the group:
| | the Group reasonably expects the resulting measurement would not differ materially from the result of general insurance; or |
| | the coverage period of each contract in the group of reinsurance contracts is one year or less. |
| 6) | Derecognition and modification |
The Group derecognizes insurance contracts when the obligation specified in the insurance contract expires or is discharged or cancelled. Also, if the terms of an insurance contract are modified and certain conditions are met, the Group derecognizes the original contract and recognizes the modified contract as a new contract. If the contract terms are modified but the contract is not derecognized, it is accounted for as changes in accounting estimates of fulfillment cash flows.
| 7) | Insurance revenue and insurance service expenses |
The Group recognizes insurance revenue as the provision of services arising from the group of insurance contracts at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those services. Insurance revenue related to insurance services provided during the reporting period depicts the changes in the liability for remaining coverage related to the consideration of which the entity expects.
Contractual service margin recognized as insurance service revenue during the reporting period is recognized as amount allocated to coverage units provided during the reporting period. The allocation of closing remaining contractual service margin before amortization by the group of insurance contracts is made proportionately between the coverage units provided during the reporting period and those provided afterwards. The number of coverage units is the quantitative unit of insurance contract services provided by the contracts, and it is determined by considering the quantitative unit of benefits and its expected duration.
Incurred claims (excluding repayments of investment components), other incurred insurance service expenses, amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows, changes in fulfilment cash flows relating to the liability for incurred claims and losses on onerous groups of contracts and reversals of such losses are recognized as insurance service expenses.
- 59 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
The Group determines insurance revenue related to insurance acquisition cash flows by allocating those cash flows to each reporting period in a systematic way on the basis of the passage of time. The Group recognizes the same amount as insurance service expenses. Loss components are systematically allocated resulting in the total amounts allocated to the loss component being equal to zero by the end of the coverage period of a group of contracts. Loss components are systematically allocated to each reporting period in proportion to beginning balance of loss components to the sum of present value of beginning expected cash outflows and risk adjustments for beginning non-financial risk. The loss component allocated to current year is excluded from recognition by the same amount as insurance service revenue and expenses.
| 8) | Reinsurance revenue and reinsurance service expenses |
The Group presents separately the amounts recovered from the reinsurer and an allocation of the premiums paid. The Group recognizes the amount covered or other services provided in the group of reinsurance contracts as reinsurance service expense. Reinsurance expense related to services provided by reinsurance contract during the reporting period represents the changes in reinsurance assets for remaining coverage related to services that the Group compensated. The Group recognizes the amounts collected from reinsurers as reinsurance service revenue.
| 9) | Insurance Finance Income or Expenses |
Insurance finance income or expenses (Reinsurance finance income or expenses) comprises the change in the book amount of the group of insurance contracts and the group of reinsurance contracts arising from the time value of money with its change effect and financial risk with its change effect. The Group determines the systematic allocation of insurance finance income or expenses between profit or loss and other comprehensive income by each portfolio. The Group systematically allocates the expected total insurance finance income or expenses over the duration of the group of contracts and recognizes insurance finance income or expenses for current period as profit or loss and the remainders as other comprehensive income.
In the case of a group of insurance contracts with direct participation features that hold underlying items, the Group subdivides insurance finance income and expenses by applying the current period book yield approach in order to recognize in profit or loss the amount that eliminates accounting mismatches from gains or losses on the underlying items held. In addition, for certain groups of insurance contracts to which risk mitigation is applied, the Group elects to apply an approach that does not recognize changes in the contractual service margin for the effects of changes in the time value of money and financial risk on the entity’s share and on the fulfilment cash flows.
Furthermore, in case of a group of insurance contracts with direct participation features that does not hold underlying items and a group of insurance contracts where changes in assumptions regarding financial risks have a significant impact on the amount payable to policyholders, the Group applies either the effective yield approach or the projected crediting rate approach and systematically allocates the insurance finance income or expenses. The insurance finance income and expenses for other insurance contract groups are calculated applying the discount rate at initial recognition.
The insurance finance income and expenses arising from the contractual service margin for insurance contract groups with direct participation features shall be determined using an allocation method consistent with the future cash flows, and those for insurance contract groups without direct participation features are systematically allocated using the discount rate applied at initial recognition.
When the Group derecognizes an insurance contract because it transfers the contract to a third party or the terms of an insurance contract are modified, the remaining amount recognized in other comprehensive income for the group is reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment, in accordance with the accounting policy elected for the portfolio.

| 10) | Changes in estimates of future cash flows arising from the exercise of discretion |
The Group has defined the discretion as the adjustment rate applied to the standard interest rate in the case of interest-linked insurance contracts, and the policyholder’s share ratio in the profits of dividend products in the case of participating insurance. The Group deems changes in discretionary cash flows to be related to future service and adjusts the contractual service margin accordingly.
| 11) | Calculation of investment components |
The Group has calculated the investment component as the amount not exceeding the total premium amount with interests that the Group must repay to the policyholder under the insurance contract (such as maturity refunds) regardless of the occurrence of the insured event. Investment components are excluded from the calculation of insurance service revenue and insurance service expense.
| 12) | Calculation of coverage units |
The Group calculates profit from contractual service margin by providing services based on the number of coverage units for a group of insurance contracts. The number of coverage units for a group of insurance contracts is determined by the quantitative unit of insurance contract service and its expected duration.
| 3. | 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. The accounting estimates and assumptions that include a significant risk of materially changing the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities currently recognized in the following accounting period are as follows.
| 1) | Income taxes |
The Group has recognized current and deferred taxes based on best estimates of expected future income tax effect arising from the Group’s operations until the end of the current reporting period. However, actual tax payment may not be identical to the related assets/liabilities already recognized, and these differences may affect current taxes and deferred tax assets/liabilities at the time when income tax effects are finalized. Deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward and deductible temporary differences are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the tax losses carried forward and the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. In this case the Group’s evaluation considers various factors such as estimated future taxable profit based on forecasted operating results, which are based on historical financial performance. The Group is reviewing the carrying amount of deferred tax assets at every end of the reporting period and in the event that the possibility of earning future taxable income changes, the deferred tax assets are adjusted up to taxable income sufficient to use deductible temporary differences.
| 2) | Valuation of financial instruments |
Financial assets at FVTPL and FVTOCI are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. All derivatives are measured at fair value. Valuation techniques are required in order to determine fair values of financial instruments where observable market prices do not exist. Financial instruments that are not actively traded and have low price transparency will have less objective fair value and require broad judgment in liquidity, concentration, uncertainty in market factors and assumption in price determination and other risks.

As described in ‘2. Basis of Preparation and Material Accounting Policies (9) 5) Fair value of financial instruments’, when valuation techniques are used to determine the fair value of a financial instrument, various general and internally developed techniques are used, and various types of assumptions and variables are incorporated during the process.
| 3) | Impairment of financial instruments |
The accuracy of the provision for credit losses is determined by the estimation of the expected cash flows for each borrower for estimating the individually assessed loan-loss allowance, and the assumptions and variables in the model used for estimating the collectively assessed loan-loss allowance payment, guarantee and unused commitment.
The Group has estimated the allowance for credit losses based on reasonable and supportable information that was available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
Information on measuring expected credit losses is described in 4. Risk Management (1) 2) Measurement of expected credit loss.
| 4) | Defined benefit plan |
The Group operates a defined benefit pension plan. Defined benefit obligation is calculated at every end of the reporting period by performing actuarial valuation, and estimation of assumptions such as discount rate, expected wage growth rate and mortality rate is required to perform such actuarial valuation. The defined benefit plan, due to its long-term nature, contains significant uncertainties in its estimates.
| 5) | Impairment of goodwill |
The recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is determined based on value-in-use calculations.
| 6) | Measurement of insurance contracts |
To measure the current value of fulfillment cash flows of liability for remaining coverage and liability for incurred claims, the Group calculates unbiased current estimates of future cash flows, adjustment for financial risk related to the time value of money and future cash flows, and risk adjustment for non-financial risk. Such current value measurement of fulfillment cash flows is determined by estimation of relevant market variables, judgment on uncertainty of the amount and timing of future cash flows, actuarial and economic assumptions and other risks.
The Group calculates profit based on the number of coverage units for a group of insurance contracts. The number of coverage units for a group of insurance contracts is determined by the quantitative unit of insurance contract service and its expected duration.

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 Board Risk Management Committee, Chief Risk Officer (CRO), and Risk Management Department. The Board of Directors operates a Board 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.
The Group mitigates credit risk resulting from the obligor’s credit condition by using financial and physical collateral, guarantees, netting agreements and purchase of credit derivatives that have low correlation with the obligor’s credit status. The Group has adopted the comprehensive method to mitigate its credit risk. Credit risk mitigation is reflected in qualifying financial collateral, trade receivables, guarantees, residential and commercial real estate and other collaterals. The Group regularly performs a revaluation of collateral reflecting such credit risk mitigation.

| 2) | 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 assessment below 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 gross domestic product (real, original series) growth rate, consumer price index, 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.
| | Development of estimation models through regression analysis of obligator (corporate, retail)/by-period and collateral (credit, collateral)/by-period recover rate in the event of default (1- Loss Given Default) and macroeconomic indicator data by year |
| Major macroeconomic indicators |
Correlation between credit risk and macroeconomic indicators | |
| Gross domestic product (real, original series) growth rate | Negative(-) Correlation | |
| Average capacity utilization rate for manufacturing | Negative(-) Correlation | |
| Unemployment rate (original series) | Positive(+) Correlation | |
| Apartment sales price index (KB, Seoul) | Negative(-) Correlation | |

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 in 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there have been no significant changes in the value of collateral or other credit enhancements held by the Group and there have been no significant changes in collateral or other credit enhancements due to changes in the collateral policy of the Group.
| 6) | Among financial assets that measured loss allowance at lifetime expected credit losses, amortized costs before changes in contractual cash flows as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are 107,905 million Won and 153,361 million Won, respectively, with net losses recognized along with the changes 6,951 million Won and 15,335 million Won, respectively. |
| 7) | The Group determines which loan is subject to write-off in accordance with internal guidelines and writes off loan receivables when it is determined that the loans are practically irrecoverable. For example, loans are practically irrecoverable when application is made for rehabilitation under the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act and loans are confirmed as irrecoverable by the court’s decision to waive debtor’s obligation, or when it is impossible to recover the loan amount through legal means such as auctioning of debtor’s assets or through any other means of recovery available. |
As the Group manages receivables that have not lost the right of claim to the debtor for the grounds of incomplete statute limitation and uncollected receivables under the related laws as receivable charge-offs, the balance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are 9,904,152 million Won and 9,018,290 million Won. In addition, the contractual non-recoverable amount of financial assets amortized for the year ended December 31, 2025, but still in the process of recovery is 2,018,638 million Won.

| (2) | 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, bankruptcy risks that may occur due to sudden bankruptcy, and residual risk-bearing equity capital for other losses.
Woori Bank, a major subsidiary subject to Basel III standard approach of market risk management, has the following equity capital required for market risk. (Unit : Korean Won in millions)

| (3) | 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. Derivatives instruments are excluded from those financial liabilities as they reflect expected cash flows for a pre-determined period.
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 40. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments (4) 3).
| 2) | Maturity analysis of non-derivative financial liabilities |
| a) | Cash flows of principals and interests by remaining contractual maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions): |

The cash flow by the maturity of derivative financial liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

| 4) | 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 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

| (4) | Operational risk |
The Group defines the operational risk that could cause a negative effect on capital resulting from inadequate internal process, labor work and systematic problems 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.
Operational risk limits are set with the approval of the Board of 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 key subsidiary has established a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and conducts annual simulation drills.

| (5) | Capital management |
The Group complies with the standard of capital adequacy provided by financial regulatory authorities. The capital adequacy standard is based on Basel III published by Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in Bank for International Settlement and was implemented in Korea in December 2013. The capital adequacy ratio is calculated by dividing own capital by asset (weighted with a risk premium – risk weighted assets) based on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
As of the current and prior year-end, the Group has maintained a Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio of 9.0%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.5%, and a total capital ratio of at least 12.5% in accordance with the relevant standards.

| 5. | INSURANCE RISK MANAGEMENT |
| (1) | Insurance risk management of Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd. |
| 1) | Overview of insurance risk |
“Insurance risk” refers to situations in which insurance benefit payments exceed the level anticipated when premiums were set, due to unexpected events or changes in economic conditions. Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd. manages insurance risk using the measure “net insurance contract liabilities – net insurance contract assets.” Under the Risk-Based Capital (RBC) framework, insurance risk is categorized into sub-risks such as death risk, longevity risk, disability/disease risk, lapse risk, operating expense risk, and catastrophe risk. The amounts for death risk, longevity risk, disability/disease risk, lapse risk, and operating expense risk are measured using shock scenario methods applied to actuarial assumptions related to each risk, while catastrophe risk is measured using a risk-factor approach. The shock scenario method calculates the change in net asset value that results when scenario-based changes are applied to the underlying assumptions used for the fair valuation of assets and liabilities. In contrast, the risk-factor method derives the risk amount by multiplying a predetermined risk factor by a specific exposure.
Accordingly, Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd. manages insurance risk based on actuarial assumptions, interest rates, and other financial market indicators considered to have a significant impact on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of future cash flows related to insurance contracts.

| 2) | Insurance risk management policy |
In order to manage insurance risk—defined as the uncertainty of the total amount and timing of claims arising from insured events—Tongyang Life Insurance uses underwriting and reinsurance strategies.
| a) | Underwriting strategy |
Underwriting strategy is a strategy to diversify the types of risks or the level of claims. For example, an entity can manage each mortality risk and survival risk in a balanced manner. In addition, the policyholder’s choice of a regular check-up is one of the main acquisition strategies.
| b) | Reinsurance strategy |
Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd. mitigates the concentration of insurance risk and utilizes reinsurance policy for the purpose of increasing efficiency of equity management. Reinsurance is divided into new contracts and existing contract. New contracts prioritize fixed risk products and target contracts that require empirical rates for a certain period of time. On the other hand, existing contracts target contracts with increasing insurance price risk.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
Reinsurance contracts are made by the following procedures:
| ① | For new contracts, the Product Committee decides whether to reinsurance during the decision-making process for launching new products. For existing contracts, if there is concern about a continued increase in insurance risk, the decision to reinsurance is made through consultation with the relevant department responsible for insurance risk management |
| ② | Reinsurance management team related to ① discusses and analyzes products to be reinsured, limits, coinsurance ratios, and rates of return. |
| 3) | Financial risk management policy related to insurance contracts |
Insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation features are classified as insurance liabilities but may be exposed to various financial risks. The nature of these exposures and the corresponding management policies are as follows.
| a) | Credit risk |
Credit risk refers to the risk of loss caused by the counterparty’s default in provision of funds or entering a contract agreed to exchange at a predetermined price at a certain point in the future. Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd.’s reinsurance assets and reinsurance receivables are exposed to losses in case of default by the reinsurer upon collection of premiums and receivables.
| b) | Interest rate risk |
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that occurs when the financial position of Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd. is affected by the adverse interest rate movements on assets and liabilities. To minimize the effects of inconsistencies between assets and liabilities caused by interest rate movements, Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd. manages matched asset-liability portfolios for each portfolio.
| c) | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that arises when the maturities of assets and liabilities are mismatched or when unexpected cash outflows cannot be met. Accordingly, the future cash outflows related to insurance liabilities and investment contracts with discretionary participation features, which account for most of Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd’s total liabilities, determine the level of liquidity related risk for the company.
The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet repayments arising from insurance contracts under normal conditions as well as under market stress.
Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd.’s main methods to manage liquidity risk are as follows:
| - | Regularly reviewing and managing the volume of insurance benefit payments and liquidity assets |
| - | Maintaining and managing a portfolio composed of assets that can be relatively easily liquidated, in preparation for unexpected disruptions in funding |
| - | Monitoring liquidity ratios through the execution of liquidity stress tests |
| - | Establishing asset-liability management strategies that take into account the cash flows of insurance contract liabilities |
| d) | Market risk |
Market risk refers to the risk of losses being incurred when the entity’s financial position is affected by adverse price movements, such as stock prices and exchange rates. Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd. engages in insurance contract transactions denominated in foreign currencies, and is, therefore, exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. This exposure is managed through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts and cross-currency interest rate swaps.

Insurance risk” refers to situations in which insurance benefit payments exceed the level anticipated when premiums were set, due to unexpected events or changes in economic conditions. ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd. manages insurance risk using the measure “net insurance contract liabilities – net insurance contract assets.” Under the Risk-Based Capital (RBC) framework, insurance risk is categorized into sub risks such as death risk, longevity risk, disability/disease risk, lapse risk, operating expense risk, and catastrophe risk. The amounts for death risk, longevity risk, disability/disease risk, lapse risk, and operating expense risk are measured using shock scenario methods applied to actuarial assumptions related to each risk, while catastrophe risk is measured using a risk factor approach. The shock scenario method calculates the change in net asset value that results when scenario-based changes are applied to the underlying assumptions used for the fair valuation of assets and liabilities. In contrast, the risk factor method derives the risk amount by multiplying a predetermined risk factor by a specific exposure.
Accordingly, ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd. manages insurance risk based on actuarial assumptions, interstates, and other financial market indicators considered to have a significant impact on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of future cash flows related to insurance contracts.

To manage the uncertainty of the amount and timing of the claims arising due to occurrences of insured events, that is, an insurance risk, ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd. uses an acquisition and a reinsurance strategy.
| a) | Underwriting strategy |
Underwriting strategy is a strategy to diversify the types of risks or the level of claims. For example, an entity can manage each mortality risk and survival risk in a balanced manner. In addition, the policyholder’s choice of a regular check-up is one of the main acquisition strategies.

Reinsurance is divided into new contract and existing contract. New contract prioritizes fixed risk products and targets contracts that require empirical rates for a certain period of time. On the other hand, existing contract targets contracts with increasing insurance price risk.
Reinsurance contracts are made by the following procedures:
| ① | For new contracts, the Product Committee decides whether to reinsurance during the decision-making process for launching new products. For existing contracts, if there is concern about a continued increase in insurance risk, the decision to reinsurance is made through consultation with the relevant department responsible for insurance risk management. |
| ② | Reinsurance management team related to ① discusses and analyzes products to be reinsured, limit, rate of coverage and rate of return. |

| 3) | Financial risk management policy related to insurance contracts |
Insurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation features are classified as insurance liabilities but may be exposed to various financial risks. The nature of these exposures and the corresponding management policies are as follows.
| a) | Credit risk |
Credit risk refers to the risk of loss caused by the counterparty’s default in provision of funds or entering a contract agreed to exchange at a predetermined price at a certain point in the future. ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd.’s reinsurance assets and reinsurance receivables are exposed to losses in case of default by the reinsurer upon collection of premiums and receivables.
| b) | Interest rate risk |
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that occurs when the financial position of ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd. is affected by the adverse interest rate movements on assets and liabilities. To minimize the effects of inconsistencies between assets and liabilities caused by interest rate movements, ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd. manages matched asset-liability portfolios for each portfolio.
| c) | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk refers to a risk caused by inconsistency in the maturity of assets and liabilities or failure to respond to unexpected capital outflows. Therefore, future cash outflows from investment contracts with insurance liability and discretionary participation features which takes the most proportion of ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd.’s liabilities, will determine the level of risk related to the liquidity of the ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd. The purpose of ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd.’s liquidity risk management is to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet repayments and other cash outflows arising from insurance contracts under both normal conditions and stressed market environments.
ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd.’s main methods to manage liquidity risk are as follows:
| - | Regularly reviewing and managing the volume of insurance benefit payments and liquidity assets |
| - | Maintaining and managing a portfolio composed of assets that can be relatively easily liquidated, in preparation for unexpected disruptions in funding |
| - | Monitoring liquidity ratios through the execution of liquidity stress tests |
| - | Establishing asset-liability management strategies that take into account the cash flows of insurance contract liabilities |
| d) | Market risk |
Market risk refers to the risk of losses being incurred when the entity’s financial position is affected by the adverse price movements such as stock prices and exchange rates. ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd. engages in insurance contract transactions denominated in foreign currencies and is therefore exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. This exposure is managed through the use of foreign exchange forward contracts and cross-currency interest rate swaps.
| 4) | Concentration of insurance risk |
ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd. assesses the concentration of risk by considering historical experience related to the insurance contracts it has issued and the reinsurance contracts it holds.

| 12. | 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 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 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 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
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 instrument are as follows:
| 1) | Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instrument classified into level 2 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 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, Monte-Carlo Simulation, and Hull-White model. |
Risk-free market rate, credit spread, risk-free 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, exchange rate, and stock price | ||
| Stocks, capital contributions and beneficiary certificates | Fair value is measured by using the net asset value method, DCF, FCFE (Free Cash Flow to Equity Mode), Comparable Company Analysis, Dividend Discount Model, Risk-adjusted Rate of Return Method, LSMC (Least-Squares Monte Carlo), and Hull-White 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, and volatility of interest rates. | ||
| Derivatives | Fair value is measured by models such as option model, DCF model and, Implied Forward Rate calculation method etc. |
Discount rate, volatility of underlying assets, exchange 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. | Swaption Volume etc. | ||
| 2) | Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instrument classified into level 3 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows: |
| Valuation methods |
Input variables | |||
| Loans | Fair value is measured by using the DCF model (Discounted Cash Flow Model) and risk-adjusted discount rate method (Tsiveriotis-Fernandes), LSMC (Least-Squares Monte Carlo), BDT model, 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 | ||
| Stocks, 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, or recent (most recent) transaction method—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 (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. | ||

| (4) | 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 more than one unobservable assumption, the table below reflects the most favorable or the most unfavorable changes which resulted from varying the assumptions individually. The sensitivity analysis was performed for two types of level 3 financial instruments: (1) interest rate-related derivatives, currency-related derivatives, equity related derivatives, 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 12,451,909 million Won and 6,248,340 million Won as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, equity instruments of 6,234,075 million Won and 5,655,401 million Won whose carrying amount is 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

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 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. |

| 2) | Securities loaned |
When the Group loans its securities to outside parties, the legal ownerships of the securities are transferred; however, they should be returned at the end of lending period. Therefore, the Group does not derecognize them from the consolidated financial statements as it owns majority of risks and benefits from the securities continuously, regardless of the transfer of legal ownership. The carrying amount of the securities loaned are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

| (2) | The offset of financial assets and liabilities |
The Group possesses both the uncollected domestic exchange receivables and the unpaid domestic exchange payable, which satisfy offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032. Therefore, the total number of uncollected domestic exchange receivables has been offset with a part of unpaid domestic exchange payables, and they have been disclosed in loans at amortized cost and other financial assets and other financial liabilities of the Group’s statements of financial position, respectively.
The Group possesses the derivative assets, derivative liabilities, receivable spot exchange and payable spot exchange that do not satisfy the offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032 but provide the Group under the circumstances of the trading party’s default, insolvency or bankruptcy, with the right of offsetting. Items such as cash collateral cannot satisfy the offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032, but in accordance with the collateral arrangements and under the circumstances of the trading party’s default, insolvency or bankruptcy, the net amount of derivative assets and derivative liabilities, receivable spot exchange and payable spot exchange can be offset.
The Group has entered into a sale and repurchase agreement and accounted it as a collateralized borrowing. The Group has also entered into a purchase and resale agreement and accounted it as a secured loan. The Group under the repurchase agreements has an offsetting right only upon the counterparty’s default, insolvency or bankruptcy; thus, the repurchase agreements are applied by the TBMA/ISMA Global Master Repurchase Agreement, which does not satisfy the offsetting criteria of K-IFRS 1032. The Group disclosed bonds sold under repurchase agreements as borrowings and bonds purchased under resale agreements as loan at amortized cost and other financial assets. In securities lending transactions, offsetting agreements are similarly executed through analogous arrangements, and the amounts of borrowed securities presented in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, are 426,221 million Won and 182,478 million Won, respectively. These amounts may be offset against bonds provided as collateral.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the financial instruments to be offset and may be covered by master netting agreements and similar agreements are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

| (*1) | Allocated to the cash-generating unit that will benefit from the synergy effect of the business combination, and the cash-generating unit is generally comprised of the operating segment or sub-sectors. |
| (*2) | The Group has acquired Saudara Bank to expand retail sales in Indonesia, and recognized the goodwill as it is expected to strengthen the competitiveness by securing a local sales network in Indonesia. |
| (*3) | The Group has acquired VisionFund Cambodia to expand retail sales in Cambodia, and recognized goodwill based on the economies of scale and acquired customer base. |
| (*4) | The Company acquired PT Batavia Prosperindo Finance Tbk to expand its installment financing operations in Indonesia. Goodwill was recognized due to the anticipated enhancement of competitiveness through securing a network in the Indonesian used car market and strengthening existing customer relationships. |
| 2) | Impairment test (Unit: Korean won in million): |
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is measured at larger amount between the fair value less costs to sell and the value to use.
The net fair value is calculated by deducting costs of disposal from the amount received from the sale of the cash-generating unit in an arm’s length transaction between the parties with reasonable judgment and willingness to negotiate. In case of difficulty in measuring this amount, the sale amount of a similar cash-generating unit in the past market is calculated by reflecting the characteristics of the cash-generating unit. If reliable information related to fair value less costs to sell is not available, value in use is considered as recoverable amount. Value in use is the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated by the cash-generating unit. Future cash flows are estimated based on the latest financial budget approved by the management, with an estimated period of up to five years. The Group applied 1.0% growth rate to estimate future cash flow for the period over five years. The main assumptions used to estimate cash flows are about the size of the market and the share of the group. The appropriate discount rate for discounting future cash flows is the pre-tax discount rate, including assumptions about risk-free interest rates, market risk premium, and systemic risk of cash-generating units. The impairment test, which compares the carrying amount and recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated, is conducted every year and every time an impairment sign occurs.

The Group measured assets held for sale at the lower of their net fair value or carrying amount.
The Group has decided to sell some of the Premises and Equipment through internal consultation during the current year and classified the property as non-current assets held for sale. The assets are expected to be sold within 12 months, and those that were scheduled to be sold at the end of the prior year have been sold and removed. On the other hand, other assets that are expected to be sold as of the end of the current year are classified as assets that are expected to be sold within one year due to the possibility of being sold as buildings and land acquired through auction.

The amount of the asset retirement obligation is the present value of the best estimate of future expected expenditure to settle the obligation – arising from leased property as of December 31, 2025, discounted by appropriate discount rate. The restoration cost is expected to occur by the end of each property’s lease period, and the Group has used average lease period for each category of leases terminated during the past years in order to rationally estimate the lease period. In addition, the Group used average amount of actual recovery cost for the past 3 years and the inflation rate for last year in order to estimate future recovery cost.

| 1) | The Group recognized the estimated amount of compensation related to incomplete sales of Derivative Linked Fund (DLF) in 2019 and provisions for fines expected to be imposed by the Financial Services Commission as the best estimate of expenditure required to fulfil its current obligations at the end of the period. |
| 2) | The Group recognized provisions for estimated compensation amounts related to the prepayment arising from the delay in the redemption of funds and other related issues and the dispute settlement as the best estimate of the expenditure amounting to 259,168 million won and 246,422 million Won as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. In addition, the Group recognized provisions of KRW 2,847 million and KRW 781 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for estimated compensation related to expected losses of customers who invested in equity-linked securities, as well as for fines and penalties expected to be imposed by the Financial Services Commission. |
| 27. | 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 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 assets |
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 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. | |

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| (2) | Overview of the Group’s hedge accounting |
| 1) | Fair value hedge |
| a) | Debentures |
As of December 31, 2025, the Group has applied fair value hedge on fixed interest rate foreign currency denominated debentures amounting to 3,763,978 million Won, and local currency denominated debentures amounting to 282,646 million Won. The purpose of the hedging is to avoid fair value volatility risk of fixed interest rates 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 December 31, 2025, the Group has applied fair value hedging for foreign currency securities amounting to 795,677 million Won and foreign currency private bonds amounting to 76,793 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.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
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 December 31, 2025, the Group has applied cash flow hedge on foreign currency denominated debentures amounting to 1,350,562 million Won, and local currency denominated debentures amounting to 59,952 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 factors 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 contracts, currency swap contracts, and value of the hedged item will generally fluctuate in opposite direction.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| b. | Foreign currency securities, Foreign private bonds, Anticipated bond purchase |
As of December 31, 2025, the Group has applied cash flow hedges to manage the risks associated with foreign currency securities amounting to 5,858,666 million Won, foreign currency private bonds totaling 232,211 million Won, and anticipated bond purchase transactions. The objective of these hedging measures is to mitigate the risk of changes in fair value from foreign currency securities and private bonds due to exchange rate changes. To achieve these objectives, the entity utilizes forward currency contracts as designated hedging instruments. The 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.
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 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 December 31, 2025: 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.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
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 number 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 measured according to the Black-Scholes model based on the base price at the time of each settlement and used for measuring the liability. |
| (*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. Long-term performance indicators include relative shareholder return, common equity ratio, return on equity, net income, selling, general and administrative expenses ratio, non-performing loan ratio, and performance of assigned duties. |
| 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying amount of the liabilities related to the performance condition share-based payments recognized by the Group amounts to 107,713 million Won and 62,557 million Won, respectively, including the carrying amount of liabilities related to key management of 43,823 million Won and 16,660 million Won, respectively. |

| (*1) | 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 December 31, 2025. |
| (*3) | 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. |
| (*4) | The limit may be subject to change during the project progress due to reasons such as limit deductions. |
| 2) | As of December 31, 2025, Woori Asset Trust, a subsidiary, may lend a trust account for a part of the total project cost in relation to 29 debt-type land trust contracts including Boutique Terrace Hotel in Woo-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan. The maximum loan amount (unused limit) is 192,027 million Won. Whether or not Woori Asset Trust lends a trust account in relation to the relevant businesses is not an unconditional payment obligation, and it is determined by considering overall matters such as the unique account and the fund balance plan of each trust business. |
| 3) | Pursuant to some contracts related to asset securitization, the Group utilizes various prerequisites, triggering events causing early redemption, limiting risks that investors bear due to change in asset quality. Breach of such triggering clause leads to an early redemption of the securitized bonds. |
| 4) | As of December 31, 2025, Tongyang Life Insurance Co., Ltd., a subsidiary, has entered into an agreement with Tongyang Leisure to amend the existing lease and transfer operating rights for the golf course, contingent upon the conversion of the golf course to public access, member consent, and court approval of the rehabilitation plan. The agreement includes clauses to pay variable compensation amount based on the sale proceeds, in consideration of the fulfillment of contractual obligations and the transfer of business rights. Member consent and the conversion to public access have been completed, and the variable compensation will be recognized when the decision to sell is made. |
| 5) | As of December 31, 2025, Tongyang Life Insurance, a subsidiary, is under investigation by the Financial Services Commission regarding potential violations of the Credit Information Use and Protection Act. |
| 6) | The administrative fine paid to the Personal Information Protection Commission in October 2025 in connection with the leakage of personal credit information of merchant representatives that occurred at the subsidiary, Woori Card, between January and April 2024 has been recognized in non-operating income and expenses. In addition, further administrative fines may be imposed by the Financial Services Commission; however, the outcome cannot be predicted at this time. |

Independent Auditor’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Consolidation Purposes
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Woori Financial Group Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Consolidation Purposes
We have audited Woori Financial Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”)’ internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) for consolidation purposes as of December 31, 2025 based on the criteria established in the Conceptual Framework for Designing and Operating ICFR (“ICFR Design and Operation Framework”) issued by the Operating Committee of Internal Control over Financial Reporting in the Republic of Korea (the “ICFR Committee”).
In our opinion, the Group maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting for consolidation purposes as of December 31, 2025, based on ICFR Design and Operation Framework.
We also have audited, in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing (KSAs), the consolidated financial statements of the Group, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information, and our report dated March XX, 2026 expressed an unmodified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Consolidation Purposes
We conducted our audit in accordance with KSAs. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Consolidation Purposes section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the internal control over financial reporting for consolidation purposes in Republic of Korea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Consolidation Purposes
The Group’s management is responsible for designing, operating and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting for consolidation purposes and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for consolidation purposes, included in the accompanying ‘Operating Status Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Consolidation Purposes.’

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Consolidation Purposes

material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Consolidation Purposes
An entity’s internal control over financial reporting for consolidation purposes is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”). A Group’s internal control over financial reporting for consolidation purposes includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the group; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of the group are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the group; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the group’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting for consolidation purposes may not prevent or detect misstatements in the consolidated financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Jae-Beom Choi.

This report is effective as of March 4, 2026, the audit report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the audit report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, the readers of the audit report should understand that the above audit report has not been updated to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

Operating Status Report of
Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Consolidation Purposes
To the Shareholders, Board of Directors and Audit Committee of Woori Financial Group Inc.
We, as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Internal Control over Financial Reporting Officer of Woori Financial Group Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”), assessed operating status of the Group’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting for Consolidation Purposes (“the Group’s ICFR”) for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Group’s management, including ourselves, is responsible for designing and operating the Group’s ICFR.
We assessed whether the Group effectively designed and operated its ICFR to prevent and detect errors or frauds which may cause a misstatement in consolidated financial statements to ensure preparation and disclosure of reliable consolidated financial information.
We used the ‘Conceptual Framework for Designing and Operating ICFR’ established by the Operating Committee of ICFR in Korea (the “ICFR Committee”) as the criteria for design and operation of the Group’s ICFR. We also assessed the design and operation of the Group’s ICFR based on the Appendix 6, ‘Standards for Evaluating and Reporting the Effectiveness of ICFR,’ of the Detailed Regulations on External Audit and Accounting, etc.
Based on our assessment, we concluded that the Group’s ICFR is designed and operated effectively as of December 31, 2025, in all material respects, in accordance with the ‘Conceptual Framework for Designing and Operating ICFR’.
As of the date of the assessment, the Group excluded TONGYANG Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (acquisition date: July 1, 2025; total assets and profit before tax as of the assessment date of KRW 35,444,959 million and KRW 53,616 million, representing 5.9% and 1.3%, respectively, of total assets and profit before tax after the acquisition) and ABL Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (acquisition date: July 1, 2025; total assets and profit before tax as of the assessment date of KRW 19,609,549 million and KRW 57,498 million, representing 3.3% and 1.4%, respectively, of total assets and profit before tax after the acquisition) from the scope of the assessment of the Group’s ICFR, as one year had not yet elapsed since the acquisition date, making the assessment not practically feasible.
We certify that this report does not contain any untrue statement of a fact, or omit to state a fact necessary to be presented herein. We also certify that this report does not contain or present any statements which might cause material misunderstandings, and we have reviewed and verified this report with sufficient care.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with KSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with KSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. |
| | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used in the preparation of the separate financial statements and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
| | Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
- 2 -
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in the internal controls that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Jae-Beom Choi.

NOTES TO SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
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 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.
| 2.4 | Amendments to K-IFRS 1118 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ |
K-IFRS 1118 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ replaces K-IFRS 1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements.’ The new presentation requirements introduced by K-IFRS 1118 are expected to enhance comparability of financial performance between similar entities, particularly with respect to the definition of operating profit. In addition, the disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures will improve transparency. The standard applies to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. In accordance with the retrospective application requirements of the standard, comparative information for the financial year ending December 31, 2026, will be restated in accordance with K-IFRS 1118.
The Company has not yet adopted K-IFRS 1118 and is in the process of preparing a transition plan. It is on track to report its first interim financial statements under K-IFRS 1118 for the period ending March 31, 2027, and its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2027, as scheduled.
The management is currently reviewing the impact of the application of the new standard on the financial statements. While the adoption of the standard is not expected to affect the net income, it is anticipated to affect the calculation and reporting of operating profit, as revenues and expenses in the income statement will be reclassified into new categories.
The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.
| (2) | Investments in subsidiaries and associates in separate financial statements |
The Company selects and processes the cost method in accordance with K-IFRS 1027 for investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities, except for those classified as held for sale in accordance with K-IFRS 1105 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’. Dividends received from subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are recognized in profit or loss as dividend income when the right to receive dividends is established.
| (3) | Revenue recognition |
K-IFRS 1115 requires the recognition of revenues based on transaction price allocated to the performance obligation when or as the Company performs the obligation to the customer. Revenues other than those from contracts with customers, such as interest revenue, are measured through the effective interest rate method.
| 1) | Revenues from contracts with customers |
The Company recognizes revenue when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. When a performance obligation is satisfied, the Company shall recognize as a revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The revenue recognized by these standards is fees and commissions income.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| 2) | Revenues from sources other than contracts with customers |
Interest income on financial assets measured at FVTOCI and financial assets at amortized costs is measured using the effective interest method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of debt securities (or group of financial assets) and of allocating the interest income over the expected life of the asset. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash flows to the instrument’s initial total carrying amount over the expected period, or shorter if appropriate. Future cash flows include commissions and cost of reward points (limited to the primary component of effective interest rate) and other premiums or discounts that are paid or received between the contractual parties, and future cash flows exclude expected credit loss when calculating the effective interest rate. All contractual terms of a financial instrument are considered when estimating future cash flows.
For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest revenue is recognized by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition. Even if the financial asset is no longer impaired in the subsequent periods due to credit improvement, the basis of interest revenue calculation is not changed from amortized cost to unamortized cost of the financial assets.
| 3) | Dividend income |
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive dividends as a shareholder is confirmed. Dividend income is recognized as an appropriate item of profit or loss in the statement of comprehensive income according to the classification of financial instruments.
| (4) | Accounting for foreign currencies |
The Company’s separate financial statements are presented in Korean Won, which is the functional currency of the Company. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at its prevailing exchange rates at the date.
| (5) | Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company is classifying cash on hand, demand deposits, interest-earning deposits with original maturities of up to three months on acquisition date, and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value as cash and cash equivalents.
| (6) | Financial assets and financial liabilities |
| 1) | Financial assets |
A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized or derecognized on the trade or settlement date. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose term requires delivery of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified into financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at FVTOCI, and financial assets at amortized cost.
| a) | Business model |
The Company evaluates the way business is being managed, and the purpose of the business model for managing a financial asset best reflects the way information is provided to the management at its portfolio level. Such information considers the following:
- 14 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC.
NOTES TO SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
| | The accounting policies and purpose specified for the portfolio, and the actual operation of such policies. This includes strategy of the management focusing on the receipt of contractual interest revenue, maintaining a certain level of interest income, matching the duration of financial assets and the duration of corresponding liabilities to obtain the asset, and outflow or realization of expected cash flows from disposal of assets. |
| | The way the performance of a financial asset held under the business model is evaluated, and the way such evaluation is being reported to the management |
| | The risk affecting the performance of the business model (and financial assets held under the business model), and the way such risk is being managed |
| | The compensation plan for the management (e.g. whether the management is being compensated based on the fair value of assets or based on contractual cash flows received) |
| | Frequency, amount, timing and reason for sale of financial assets in the past and forecast of future sale activities |
| b) | Contractual cash flows |
The principal is defined to be the fair value of a financial asset at initial recognition. Interest is not only composed of consideration for the time value of money, consideration for the credit risk related to remaining principal at a certain period of time, and consideration for other cost (e.g. liquidity risk and cost of operation) and fundamental risk associated with lending, but also profit.
When evaluating whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interests, the Company considers the contractual terms of the financial instrument. When a financial asset contains contractual conditions that modify the timing and amount of contractual cash flows, it is required to determine whether contractual cash flows that arise during the remaining life of the financial instrument due to such contractual condition are solely payments of principal and interest. The Company considers the following elements when evaluating the above:
| | Conditions that lead to modification of timing or amount of cash flows |
| | Contractual terms that adjust contractual nominal interest, including floating rate features |
| | Early payment features and maturity extension features |
| | Contractual terms that limit the Company’s claim on cash flows arising from certain assets |
| 1.1 | Financial assets at FVTPL |
The Company is classifying those financial assets that are not classified as either financial assets at amortized cost or financial assets at FVTOCI, and those designated to be measured at FVTPL, as financial assets at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, and related profit or loss is recognized in net income. Transaction costs related to acquisition at initial recognition is recognized in net income immediately upon its occurrence.
It is possible to designate a financial asset as financial asset at FVTPL if at initial recognition: (a) it is possible to remove or significantly reduce recognition or measurement mismatch that may otherwise have occurred if not for its designation as financial asset at FVTPL (b) the financial asset forms part of the Company’s financial instrument group (A group composed of a combination of financial asset or liability), is measured at fair value and is being evaluated for its performance, and such information is provided internally and (c) the financial asset is part of a contract that contains one or more of embedded derivatives, and is a hybrid contract in which designation as financial asset at FVTPL is allowed under K-IFRS 1109 ‘Financial Instruments’. However, the designation is irrevocable.
| 1.2 | Financial assets at FVTOCI |
When financial assets are held under a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and when contractual cash flows from such financial assets are solely payments of principal and interest, the financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTOCI. Also, for investments in equity instruments that are not held for short-term trade, an irrevocable election is available at initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value as other comprehensive income.
- 15 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC.
NOTES TO SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
At initial recognition, financial assets at FVTOCI is measured at its fair value plus any direct transaction cost and is subsequently measured in fair value. However, for equity instruments that do not have a quotation in an active market and in which fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost. The changes in fair value except for profit or loss items such as impairment losses (reversals), interest revenue calculated by using effective interest method, and foreign exchange gain or loss, and related income tax effects are recognized as other comprehensive income until the asset’s disposal. Upon derecognition, the accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to net income for FVTOCI (debt instrument), and reclassified within the equity for FVTOCI (equity instruments).
| 1.3 | Financial assets at amortized cost |
When financial assets are held under a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and when contractual cash flows from such financial assets are solely payments of principal and interest, the financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortized cost. At initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost are recognized at fair value plus any direct transaction cost. Financial assets at amortized cost is presented at amortized cost using effective interest method, less any loss allowance.
| 2) | Financial liabilities |
At initial recognition, financial liabilities are classified into either financial liabilities at FVTPL or financial liabilities at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities are usually classified as financial liabilities at FVTPL when they are acquired with a purpose to repurchase them within a short period of time, when they are part of a certain financial instrument portfolio that is actually and recently being managed with a purpose of short-term profit and joint management by the Company at initial recognition, and when they are derivatives that do not qualify as hedging instruments. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any direct transaction cost recognized in profit or loss, and are subsequently measured at fair value. Profit or loss arising from financial liabilities at FVTPL is recognized in net income when occurred.
It is possible to designate a financial liability as financial liability at FVTPL if at initial recognition: (a) it is possible to remove or significantly reduce recognition or measurement mismatch that may otherwise have occurred if not for its designation as financial liability at FVTPL (b) the financial liability forms part of the Company’s financial instrument group (a group composed of a combination of financial asset or liability) according to the Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, is measured at fair value and is being evaluated for its performance, and such information is provided internally and (c) the financial liability is part of a contract that contains one or more of embedded derivatives, and is a hybrid contract in which designation as financial liability at FVTPL is allowed under K-IFRS 1109 ‘Financial Instruments’.
Financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL are initially recognized at fair value, with any direct transaction cost recognized in profit or loss, and are subsequently measured at fair value. Any profit or loss from financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities not classified as financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at amortized cost. The Company is classifying liabilities such as borrowings etc. as financial liabilities at amortized cost.

| 3) | Reclassification |
Financial assets are not reclassified after initial recognition unless the Company modifies the business model used to manage financial assets. When the Company modifies the business model used to manage financial assets, all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period after the modification.
| 4) | Derecognition |
Financial assets are derecognized when contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets are expired, or when substantially all of risk and reward for holding financial assets is transferred to another entity as a result of a sale of financial assets. If the Company does not have and does not transfer substantially all of the risk and reward of holding financial assets with control of the transferred financial assets retained, the Company recognizes financial assets to the extent of its continuing involvement. If the Company holds substantially all the risk and reward of holding a financial asset, it continues to recognize that asset and proceeds are accounted for as collateralized borrowings.
When a financial asset is fully derecognized, the difference between the book value and the sum of proceeds and accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss in case of debt instruments and recognized in retained earnings in case of equity instruments.
In cases when a financial asset is not fully derecognized, the Company allocates the book value into amounts retained in the books and removed from the books, based on the relative fair value of each portion at the date of sale, and based on the degree of continuing involvement. For the derecognized portion of the financial assets, the difference between its book value and the sum of proceeds and the portion of accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to that portion will be recognized in profit or loss in case of debt instruments and recognized in retained earnings in case of equity instruments. The accumulated other comprehensive income is distributed to the portion of book value retained in the books, and to the portion of book value removed from the books.
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, canceled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
When the Company exchanges with the existing lender one debt instrument into another one with the substantially different terms, such exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, the Company accounts for substantial modification of terms of an existing liability or part of it as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new liability. It is assumed that the terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective rate is at least 10 percent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability.

| 5) | Fair value of financial instruments |
Financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVTOCI are measured and presented in financial statements at their fair values, and all derivatives are also subject to fair value measurement.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to exchange an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a recent transaction between independent parties that are reasonable and willing. Fair value is the transaction price of identical financial assets or financial liabilities generated in an active market. An active market is a market where trade volume is sufficient and objective price information is available due to the fact that bid and ask price differences are small.
When trade volume of a financial instrument is low, when transaction prices within the market show large differences among them, or when it cannot be concluded that a financial instrument is being traded within an active market due to disclosures being extremely limited, fair value is measured using valuation techniques based on alternative market information or using internal valuation techniques based on general and observable information obtained from objective sources. Market information includes maturity and characteristics, duration, similar yield curve, and variability measurement of financial instruments of similar nature. Fair value amount contains unique assumptions on each entity (the Company concluded that it is using assumptions applied in valuing financial instruments in the market, or risk-adjusted assumptions in case marketability does not exist).
The market approach and income approach, which are valuation techniques used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments, both require significant judgment. Market approach measures fair value using either a recent transaction price that includes the financial instrument, or observable information on comparable firm or assets. Income approach measures fair value through discounting future cash flows with a discount rate reflecting market expectations, and revenue, operating income, depreciation, capital expenditures, income tax, working capital and estimated residual value of financial investments are being considered when deriving future cash flows. Valuation techniques such as the above include estimates based on the financial instruments’ complexity and usefulness of observable information in the market.
The valuation techniques used in the evaluation of financial instruments are explained below.
Derivatives and equity securities without marketability are generally recognized at an amount computed by an independent appraiser. The Company uses the amount determined by the independent appraiser. The Company verifies the prices obtained from appraisers in various ways, including the evaluation of independent appraisers’ competency, indirect verification through comparison between appraisers’ price and other available market information, and reperformed by employees who have knowledge of valuation models and assumptions that appraisers used.
| 6) | Expected credit losses on financial assets |
The Company recognizes loss allowance on expected credit losses for the following assets:
| | Financial assets at amortized cost |
| | Debt instruments measured at FVTOCI |
| | Contract assets as defined by K-IFRS 1115 |
Expected credit losses are weighted-average value of a range of possible results, considering the time value of money, and are measured by incorporating information on past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions that are available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date.
- 18 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC.
NOTES TO SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
The methods to measure expected credit losses are classified into following three categories in accordance with K-IFRS:
| | General approach: Financial assets that does not belong to below two models and unused loan commitments |
| | Simplified approach: When financial assets are either trade receivables, contract assets or lease receivables |
| | Credit impairment model: Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets |
The measurement of loss allowance under general approach is differentiated depending on whether the credit risk has increased significantly after initial recognition. That is, loss allowance is measured based on 12-month expected credit loss when the credit risk has not increased significantly after initial recognition, while loss allowance is measured at lifetime expected credit loss when credit risk has increased significantly. Lifetime is the expected remaining life of the financial instrument up to the maturity date of the contract.
The measurement of loss allowance under simplified approach is always based on lifetime expected credit loss, and loss allowance under credit impairment model is measured as the cumulative change in lifetime expected credit loss since initial recognition.
| a) | Measurement of expected credit losses on financial asset at amortized cost |
The expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost is measured by the difference between the contractual cash flows during the period and the present value of expected cash flows. Expected cash inflows are computed for individually significant financial assets in order to calculate expected credit losses.
When financial assets that are not individually significant, they are included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and expected credit losses of the Company are calculated collectively.
Expected credit losses are deducted through loss allowance account, and when the financial asset is determined to be uncollectible, the loss allowance is written off from the books along with the related financial asset.
| b) | Measurement of expected credit losses on financial asset at FVTOCI |
The measurement method of expected credit loss is identical to financial asset at amortized cost, but changes in the allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income. When financial assets at FVTOCI is disposed or repaid, the related allowance is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income.
| (7) | Offsetting financial instruments |
Financial assets and liabilities are presented as a net amount in the statements of financial position when the Company has an enforceable legal right and an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize an asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
| (8) | Premises and equipment |
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of Premises and equipment is expenditures directly attributable to their purchase or construction, which includes any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. It also includes the initial estimate of costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of an asset or as a separate asset (if appropriate) if it is probable that future economic benefit associated with the assets will flow into the Company and the cost of an asset can be measured reliably. Routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

NOTES TO SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
While land is not depreciated, for all other Premises and equipment, depreciation is charged to net income on a straight-line basis by applying the following estimated economic useful lives on the amount of cost or revalued amount less residual value.
| Useful life | ||||
| Leasehold Improvement |
5 years | |||
| Equipment and Vehicles |
5 years | |||
The Company reassesses the depreciation method, the estimated useful lives and residual values of Premises and equipment at the end of each reporting period. If changes in the estimates are deemed appropriate, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate. When there is an indicator of impairment and the carrying amount of a Premises and equipment item exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the carrying amount of such asset is reduced to the recoverable amount.
| (9) | Intangible assets and goodwill |
The Company is recognizing intangible assets measured at the manufacturing cost or acquisition cost plus additional incidental expenses less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The Company’s intangible asset are amortized over the following economic lives using the straight-line method. However, for some intangible assets, the period of time that is expected to be available is not predictable, so the useful life of some intangible assets is assessed as indefinite and not depreciated.
The estimated useful life and amortization method of intangible assets with a finite useful life are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. If changes in the estimates are deemed appropriate, the changes are accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.
| Useful life | ||||
| Software |
1~5 years | |||
| Development cost |
5 years | |||
In addition, when an indicator that intangible assets are impaired is noted, and the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount immediately.
| (10) | Impairment of non-monetary assets |
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives or intangible assets that are not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, regardless of whether or not there is any indication of impairment. All other assets are tested for impairment by estimating the recoverable amount when there is an objective indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Recoverable amount is the higher of value in use or net fair value, less costs to sell. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and such impairment loss is recognized immediately in net income.
| (11) | Derivative instruments |
Derivative instruments are classified as forwards, futures, options, and swaps depending on the types of transactions, and are classified as either trading or hedging at the point of transaction based on its purpose.
Derivatives are initially recognized at the fair value of the contract date and are subsequently measured at the fair value of the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in net income immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument. If derivatives have been designated as hedging instruments and it is effective, the recognition point of gain or loss depends on the characteristics of the hedging relationship.
Derivatives with a positive fair value(+) are recognized as financial assets, and derivatives with a negative fair value(-) are recognized as financial liabilities. Derivatives in financial statements are not offset unless they have a legally enforceable right to set-off or intend to set-off.

| (12) | Provisions |
The Company recognizes provision if it has present or contractual obligations as a result of the past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation is reliably estimated. Provision is not recognized for the future operating losses.
The Company recognizes the expenses incurred in recovering the leased asset to its original state, under the terms of the lease, as a provision at the commencement date of lease or at a specific period of time when the asset is liable as a result of its use. The provision is measured as the best estimate of the expenditure required to recover the asset and is regularly reviewed and adapted to the new circumstances.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the probability that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the obligations as a whole. Although the likelihood of outflow for any one item may be small, if it is probable that some outflow of resources will be needed to settle the obligations as a whole, a provision is recognized.
The balance of provisions is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the best estimate as of the end of the reporting period.

The Company classifies a financial instrument that it issues as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. A financial liability is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The compound financial instruments issued by the Company are financial instruments which are neither a financial liability nor an equity instrument as they were designed to contain both equity and debt elements.
If the Company reacquires its own equity instruments, the consideration paid including the direct transaction costs (net of income tax expense) are presented as a deduction from total equity until such instruments are retired or reissued. When these instruments are reissued, the consideration received (net of direct transaction costs) is included in the shareholder’s equity.
| 2) | Hybrid securities |
In case of hybrid securities that have the unconditional right to avoid contractual obligations, such as to deliver cash or other financial assets related to financial instruments, they are classifies as equity instruments and presented as part of equity.
| (14) | Employee benefits and pensions |
The Company recognizes the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by the employees. Also, the Company recognizes expenses and liabilities in the case of accumulating compensated absences when the employees render services that entitle their right to future compensated absences. Similarly, the Company recognizes expenses and liabilities for customary profit distribution or bonuses when the employees render services, even though the Company does not have legal obligation to do so because it can be construed as constructive obligation.
The Company is operating defined benefit plans. For defined benefit plans, the defined benefit liability is calculated through an actuarial assessment using the projected unit credit method every end of the reporting period, conducted by professional actuaries. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest), and the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) is reflected immediately in the separate statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.

Remeasurement recognized in the statement of comprehensive income is not reclassified to profit or loss in the subsequent periods. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are composed of service cost (including current service cost and past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements), net interest expense (income) and remeasurement.
The Company presents the service cost and net interest expense (income) components in profit or loss, and the remeasurement component in other comprehensive income. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs.
The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the separate statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in the Company’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is recognized as an asset limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
Liabilities for termination benefits are recognized at the earlier of either 1) the date when the Company is no longer able to cancel its proposal for termination benefits or 2) the date when the Company has recognized the cost of restructuring that accompanies the payment of termination benefits.
| (15) | Income taxes |
Income tax expense is composed of current tax and deferred tax. That is, income tax expense is composed of taxes payable or refundable during the period and deferred taxes calculated by applying asset-liability method to taxable and deductible temporary differences arising from operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Temporary differences are the differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred income tax benefit or expense is recognized for the change in deferred tax assets or liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured as of the reporting date using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or asset realized. Deferred tax assets, including the carryforwards of unused tax losses, are recognized to the extent it is probable that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
The Company, as a consolidation group for its wholly-owned subsidiaries applies consolidated tax return approach, in which the Company and its subsidiaries are consolidated into a single tax base and tax amount. The Company determined whether temporary differences are realizable by considering the Company and each subsidiary’s future taxable income. For the changes in deferred income tax asset (liability), the Company recognized income tax expense (benefit), excluding the amounts that are directly adjusted from equity. Also, as the Company became the consolidation entity for tax filings and tax returns, it recognized the total amount of income tax payables as liabilities and individual tax amounts to be received from each of its wholly-owned subsidiaries as receivables.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset if, and only if, the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority or when the entity intends to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis with different taxable entities.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets or liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit (tax loss) nor the accounting profit.
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity or when it arises from business combination.

The tax uncertainty arises from the compensation claim filed by the Company, and refund litigation for the amount of tax levied by the tax authority due to differences in tax law analysis. In response, the Company paid taxes in accordance with K-IFRS 2123 due to the tax authority’s claim, but recognized as a corporate tax asset if it is highly probable of a refund in the future. In addition, the Company appropriately estimates and reflects the amount of corporate tax liabilities based on the analysis of corporate tax laws and the evaluation of many factors, including past experiences.
| (16) | Earnings per share (“EPS”) |
Basic EPS is a calculation of net income per each common stock. It is calculated by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the earnings and number of shares for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares.
| (17) | Share-based payments |
For cash-settled share-based payment transactions that provide cash in return for the goods or services received, the Company measures the goods or services received, and the corresponding liability at the fair value and recognizes as employee benefit expenses and liabilities during the vesting period.
The fair value of the liability is remeasured at the end of each reporting period and the settlement date until the liability is settled, and changes in fair value are recognized as employee benefits.
| (18) | Leases |
| 1) | The Company determines whether the contract is, or contains, a lease at the date of initial application. A contract is or contains a lease if the right to control the use of an identified asset is transferred in exchange for the consideration received for a period of time. In determining whether a contract transfers control of the use of the identified asset, the Company uses the definition of lease in K-IFRS 1116. |
| 2) | Lessee |
At the commencement date, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement date (less any lease incentives received), initial direct costs, and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. However, if the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, the lessee depreciates the right-of-use asset same as a fixed asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. The right-of-use asset may be reduced by an impairment of the underlying asset or adjusted by remeasurement of the lease liability.
At the commencement date, a lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if the rate can be readily determined. If the rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate can be used. Generally, the Company uses incremental borrowing rate as a discount rate.
The Company makes adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and the characteristics of the lease asset in interest rates obtained from external financial information, and calculates the incremental borrowing rate.
The company calculates the lease term by including the relevant period when it is quite certain that the lessee will exercise the extension option or the termination option. The company calculates the enforceable period in consideration of the economic disadvantages of terminating the contract if the lessee and the lessor have the right to terminate it without the consent of the other parties.

NOTES TO SEPARATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
The lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
| | Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) |
| | Variable lease payments that depend on an index (or a rate), initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date |
| | Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees |
| | The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, lease payments of the extended period if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise extension option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease |
A lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest rate on the lease liability and reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. A lease liability is remeasured when future lease payments change, depending on the changes in an index or a rate, change in amounts expected to be payable due to residual value guarantees, assessment of whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option and extension option, the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise the termination options.
When lease liability is remeasured, the related right-of-use asset is adjusted and if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset decreases to zero, the remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss.
The company consider all relevant facts and circumstances that lead to economic incentives not to exercise the extension option or not exercising the termination option. The period of the extension option (or the period of the termination option) is included in the lease period only when it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the extension option (or will not).
The Company reevaluates the lease term when the option is exercised (or not exercised) or the Company is liable to exercise (or not exercise) the option. Company will change its judgment only when significant events occur that affect the lessee’s control and the determination of the lease term, or there is a significant change in the circumstances.
In the statement of financial position, the Company classified the right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property as ‘Premises and equipment’ and the lease liabilities as ‘other financial liabilities.’
The Company has chosen a practical expedient that does not recognize the right-of-use asset and lease liabilities for short-term leases with a lease term less than 12 months and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

| 3. | MATERIAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS |
The material accounting estimates and assumptions are continuously being evaluated based on numerous factors including historical experiences and expectations of future events considered to be reasonably possible. Actual results can differ from those estimates based on such definitions. The accounting estimates and assumptions that contain significant risk of materially changing current book values of assets and liabilities in the next accounting periods are as follows:
| (1) | Income taxes |
The Company has recognized current and deferred taxes based on best estimates of expected future income tax effect arising from the Company’s operations until the end of the current reporting period. However, actual tax payment may not be identical to the related assets and/or liabilities already recognized, and these differences may affect current taxes and deferred tax assets/liabilities at the time when income tax effects are finalized. Deferred tax assets relating to tax losses carried forward and deductible temporary differences are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the tax losses carried forward and the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. In this case the Company’s evaluation considers various factors such as estimated future taxable profit based on forecasted operating results, which are based on historical financial performance. The Company is reviewing the book value of deferred tax assets every end of the reporting period and in the event that the possibility of earning future taxable income changes, the deferred tax assets are adjusted up to taxable income sufficient to use deductible temporary differences.
| (2) | Valuation of financial instruments |
Financial assets at FVTPL and FVTOCI are recognized in the separate financial statements at fair value. All derivatives are measured at fair value. Valuation techniques are required in order to determine fair values of financial instruments where observable market prices do not exist. Financial instruments that are not actively traded and have low price transparency will have less objective fair value and require broad judgment in liquidity, concentration, uncertainty in market factors and assumption in price determination and other risks.
As described in Note 2, (6) 5), ‘Fair value of financial instruments’, when valuation techniques are used to determine the fair value of a financial instrument, various general techniques are used, and various types of assumptions and variables are incorporated during the process.
| (3) | Impairment of financial instruments |
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, which depends on the degree of increase in credit risk after their initial recognition.
| Stage 1 |
Stage 2 |
Stage 3 | ||||
| Credit risk has not significantly increased since initial recognition(*) | Credit risk has significantly increased since initial recognition | Credit has been impaired | ||||
| Allowance for expected credit losses | Expected 12-month credit losses:
Expected credit losses due to possible defaults on financial instruments within a 12-month period from the end of reporting period. |
Expected lifetime credit losses:
Expected credit losses from all possible defaults during the expected lifetime of the financial instruments. | ||||
| (*) | Credit risk may be considered to not have been significantly increased when credit risk is low at the end of reporting period. |
The Company has estimated the allowance for credit losses based on reasonable and supportable information that was available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

| (4) | Defined benefit plan |
The Company operates a defined benefit pension plan. Defined benefit obligation is calculated at every end of the reporting period by performing actuarial valuation, and estimation of assumptions such as discount rate, expected wage growth rate and mortality rate is required to perform such actuarial valuation. The defined benefit plan, due to its long-term nature, contains significant uncertainties in its estimates.

| 4. | 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 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.

There are no derivative financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
| (4) | Capital management |
The Company complies with the standard of capital adequacy provided by financial regulatory authorities. The capital adequacy standard is based on Basel III published by Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in Bank for International Settlement and was implemented in Korea in December 2013. The capital adequacy ratio is calculated by dividing own capital by asset (weighted with a risk premium – risk weighted assets) based on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
According to the above regulations, the Company is in compliance with the following minimum requirements, maintaining a Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.0%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.5%, and a Total capital ratio of 12.5%, respectively.
Details of the Company’s capital adequacy ratio calculated based on the consolidated financial statements are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

| 8. | 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 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 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 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:

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.

The amount of the asset retirement obligation is the present value of the best estimate of future expected expenditure to settle the obligation – arising from leased assets used as offices as of December 31, 2025, discounted by appropriate discount rate. The restoration cost is expected to occur by the end of the lease period of each office, and the Company used the average amount of the major subsidiaries’ actual recovery cost and the inflation rate for the past 3 years in order to estimate future recovery cost.

| 15. | NET DEFINED BENEFIT ASSET |
The retirement benefit of the Company 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 the 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 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, common equity tier 1(CET1) ratio, return on equity (ROE), net income, 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024 the book value of the liabilities related to the performance condition share-based payments recognized by the Company is 19,807 million Won and 11,883 million Won. |

Independent Auditors’ Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Woori Financial Group Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Woori Financial Group Inc. (“the Company”)’s internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) as of December 31, 2025 based on the criteria established in the Conceptual Framework for Designing and Operating ICFR (“ICFR Design and Operation Framework”) issued by the Operating Committee of Internal Control over Financial Reporting in the Republic of Korea (the “ICFR Committee”).
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on ICFR Design and Operation Framework.
We also have audited, in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing (“KSAs”), the separate financial statements of the Company, which comprise the separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2025, the separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information, and our report dated March 4, 2026 expressed an unmodified opinion on those separate financial statements.
Basis for Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We conducted our audit in accordance with KSAs. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Internal Control over Financial Reporting section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the internal control over financial reporting in Republic of Korea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for designing, operating and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying ‘Operating Status Report of Internal Control over Financial Reporting’.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted the audit in accordance with KSAs. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”). A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect material misstatements in the financial statements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Jae-Beom Choi.
| /s/ KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp. |
| Seoul, Korea |
| March 4, 2026 |
This report is effective as of March 4, 2026, the audit report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the audit report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, the readers of the audit report should understand that the above audit report has not been updated to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

We also assessed the design and operation of ICFR based on the Appendix 6, ‘Standards for Evaluating and Reporting the Effectiveness of ICFR,’ of the Detailed Regulations on External Audit and Accounting, etc.
Based on our assessment, we concluded that the Company’s ICFR is designed and operated effectively as of December 31, 2025, in all material respects, in accordance with the ‘Conceptual Framework for Designing and Operating ICFR’.
We certify that this report does not contain any untrue statement of a fact, or omit to state a fact necessary to be presented herein.
