IBK,
Financial Partner for
Better Future
IBK stands at the forefront of the financial industry
with 58 years of experience and expertise representative of
Korea’s historic economic growth. Now we drive innovation
and growth as your trusted and longstanding financial partner.
Despite economic uncertainties at home and abroad, all employees and management of IBK made con-
certed efforts and turned the year of 2018 another historic year with great achievements.
For instance, the Bank alone generated KRW 1,511 billion in net income, a 15% increase from the previous
year, surpassing the KRW 1 trillion mark for the fourth year in a row. The consolidated net income that com-
bines IBK and the subsidiaries’ climbed to a record high of KRW 1,764.3 billion.
Also, we made history of the financial industry by becoming the first to exceed KRW 150 trillion in SME loan
balance. Our customer base was strengthened further as the number of retail clients expanded to over 15
million while that of corporate clients crossed 1.5 million.
We made strides on the global stage, too, by broadening the ‘IBK Asia Financial Belt.’ Specifically, we made
our very-first M&A of overseas banks in Indonesia to set up a local banking subsidiary, and our Phnom Penh
Representative Office was upgraded into Branch in Cambodia. In addition, Vladivostok Representative Of-
fice opened in Russia to serve as a strategic outpost in step with the Government’s ‘New Northern Policy.’
These achievements, together with your continuous support, enabled IBK to be named as one of the
world’s Top 100 Banks by The Banker magazine. In fact, we were the one and only bank specializing in
SMEs in the list.
Looking at the year ahead, slower growth is expected domestically, while the global economic outlook is
clouded by increasing uncertainties posed by global monetary tightening and trade conflicts.
At the same time, technological developments and emergence of new breeds of enterprises are bringing
rapid changes to the industrial ecosystem, while demographic shift is transforming the consumer market.
Against this backdrop, we believe self-driven innovation is a must for survival and sustainable growth, and
thus will pursue the following initiatives in 2019.
Second, we will reinforce our competitiveness in SME financing through competency building.
We will pursue optimal growth to reinforce our market dominance in SME lending, and continuously stream-
line the branches to optimize the service network. Under our ‘Co-up Financing’ initiative—a new paradigm in
SME financing, we will nurture startup companies through our startup incubator ‘IBK Changgong’, provide
business solutions to support SMEs’ daily operation, and foster the SME M&A market for smooth exit.
With the conviction that we can weather any difficulties as long as we are fully prepared, all of us at IBK
will spare no effort to realize our management philosophy of ‘Strong and Solid: Innovation Bank of Korea’.
I humbly ask for your unwavering support as IBK continues to grow and evolve, and extend my best wishes
to you and your loved ones.
Thank you.

Consolidated net income climbed to a new high once again to reach KRW 1,764.3 billion,
and credit cost decreased to the lowest ever level thanks to steady improvement in asset quality.
As a result, net income exceeded provisions for credit losses for the first time since the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
IBK is pushing ahead with plans to grow into a strong, solid and innovative bank that acts as a
partner in innovation and growth of the Korean economy. Although challenging domestic and
global conditions are expected to persist in 2019, IBK will continue its policy of supporting
SME financing, proactively dealing with risk management, and securing a stable and long-term foundation
for growth. We will boost assets through SME financing while satisfying regulations and
also focus on increasing net income from banking operations.

Won Jae-woong is a senior analyst at NH Investment & Securities covering the banking and securities
sector. He was named one of Korea’s top analysts in 2018. In his report, Won says stable earnings will
help drive up bank share prices along with a rebound in the Korean stock market. With foreign ownership
exceeding 60%, bank stocks may continue to struggle due to market uncertainties and strengthened
regulations. However, Won predicts that “along with stock market recovery, bank shares will start to
rebound as sentiment spreads that they are deeply undervalued.”

Operating Results
Condensed Income Statement (in billions of KRW, %)
In 2018, consolidated net income increased by 16.96% to KRW 1,764.3 billion (KRW 1,511.0 billion on a separate basis), representing a new
record high and the second straight year of double-digit growth. Moreover, it exceeded provisions for credit losses, which amounted to KRW 1,515.0
billion (KRW 1,455.3 billion on separate basis), for the first time since the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
Net interest income grew 7.08% to KRW 5,632.3 billion as interest-bearing assets increased KRW 14.2 trillion (up 6.35%) and net interest margin
(NIM) went up 1bp. Non-interest income swelled 84.56% to KRW 626.4 billion.
Net non-operating income shot up 104.02%. One factor was KRW 33.5 billion in gains on disposal of tangible assets. Another reason was the
comparison base created in 2018 by KRW 49.2 billion in contribution for cashier’s checks for which the statute of limitations expired.
Interest-bearing assets increased KRW 14.2 trillion (6.35%) and NIM climbed 1bp. This, in turn, pushed up net interest income by 7.08% to KRW
5,632.3 billion.
Due to adoption of IFRS9 rules, gains on securities swelled 71.56% to KRW 398.2 billion and gains on loan asset disposal soared 978.98% to
KRW 259.3 billion. Under IFRS9, fair value has to be reassessed when a financial instrument is derecognized. This led to a decrease in book value
at the time of disposal which bolstered loan asset disposal gains. Due to a corresponding increase in provisions, however, there was no effect on
net income.
The rise in gains on securities and loan asset disposal boosted net non-interest income by 84.56% to KRW 626.4 billion.
Following wage hikes, salaries rose by 7.87% to KRW 1,205.8 billion. Depreciation and rent expenses fell by KRW 12.5 billion and KRW 3.0 billion,
respectively, but welfare expenses went up by KRW 6.6 billion and taxes and dues by KRW 6.8 billion. Accordingly, SG&A expenses climbed 1.87%.
Non-operating gains increased by 104.02% to KRW 3.0 billion on the back of a rise in gains on tangible asset disposal and the 2018 comparison
base. (The 2018 figures were affected by KRW 49.2 billion in retroactive contribution of cashier’s checks, for which the statute of limitations
expired, to the Korea Inclusive Finance Agency following revision of the Microfinance Support Act in September 2017. The checks were treated as
miscellaneous gains during 2012~2016.)
Financial Position
Condensed Statement of Financial Position (in billions of KRW, %)
In line with IBK’s position as the leading bank in SME financing, SME loan balance increased by KRW 9.2 trillion to KRW 151.6 trillion. IBK was the
first in the Korean financial industry to see SME lending pass the KRW 150 trillion mark. IBK upheld its leadership based on SME loans in 2018
with a market share of 22.54%.
With respect to funding, deposit liabilities decreased by 2.69% to KRW 109.56 trillion whereas debentures increased by 16.75% to KRW 109.98
trillion. As a result, total labilities grew 5.56% to KRW 268.42 trillion.
Total shareholders’ equity rose by 6.53% to KRW 21.1 trillion. Hybrid capital instruments stood at KRW 2,381.0 billion, up 17.20%. Retained
earnings grew 8.34% to KRW 14.3 trillion on the back of net income attributable to controlling interest of KRW 1,754.2 billion and interest expense
on the hybrids of KRW 89.1 billion.
As IBK continued to fulfill its role as provider of financial support for SMEs, corporate loans expanded by 6.52% to KRW 164.2 trillion.
Won-denominated deposits decreased by 1.38% to KRW 91.9 trillion as savings deposits slid by 9.01% to KRW 46.2 trillion.
ROA (return on assets) improved by 10.53% to 0.63%, while ROE (return on equity) went up 9.41% to 8.72%. The improvements were driven by
growth in interest-bearing assets and higher NIM which, in turn, propped up net income.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of Industrial Bank of Korea (the Bank), which comprise the separate statements
of financial position as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the separate statements of comprehensive income, separate statements of changes
in equity and separate statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the separate financial statements, including a summary of
significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the separate financial position of Industrial
Bank of Korea as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its separate financial performance and its separate cash flows for the years then ended in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (Korean IFRS).
Trade receivables at amortized cost that are assessed on an individual or collective basis are ₩206,688,177 million, and its related provision for
impairment is ₩2,434,570 million (Notes 9, 26, 47).
1) Understanding and evaluating the designed internal controls applied by the management for calculation of individually assessed expected credit loss.
2) Performing analytic reviews on key financial metrics such as provision rate for impairment.
3) Inquiring on the key basis used for future cash flows estimation for the selected samples and inspecting the relevant documents.
4) Reviewing the reasonableness of key assumptions used for estimating future cash flows using sampling method.
Other Matter
Auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The procedures and practices used in the Republic of Korea to audit
such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements in accordance with Korean IFRS, and
for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank’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
Bank or to cease operations.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process.
As part of an audit in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.
· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used 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 Bank’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 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 Bank to cease to continue as a going concern.
· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
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 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 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.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Sungeun Jin, Certified Public Accountant.

This report is effective as of March 12, 2019, the audit report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between

To the President of
Industrial Bank of Korea
We have reviewed the accompanying management’s report on the effectiveness of the Internal Control over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”) of
Industrial Bank of Korea (the “Bank”) as of December 31, 2018. The Bank’s management is responsible for designing and operating ICFR and for
its assessment of the effectiveness of ICFR. Our responsibility is to review the management’s report on the effectiveness of the ICFR and issue a
report based on our review. The management’s report on the effectiveness of the ICFR of the Bank states that “Based on the assessment results,
President and ICFR Officer believe that the Bank’s ICFR, as at December 31, 2018, is designed and operating effectively, in all material respects, in
conformity with the Best Practice Guideline.”
Our review was conducted in accordance with the ICFR review standards established by the Korean Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Those standards require that we plan and perform, in all material respects, the review of management’s report on the effectiveness of the ICFR to
obtain a lower level of assurance than an audit. A review is to obtain an understanding of the Bank’s ICFR and consists principally of inquiries of
management and, when deemed necessary, a limited inspection of underlying documents, which is substantially less in scope than an audit.
The Bank’s ICFR is a system to monitor and operate those policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea. Because of its inherent limitations, ICFR may not prevent or detect a material misstatement of
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.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that management’s report on the effectiveness of the ICFR,
referred to above, is not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the Best Practice Guideline.
Our review is based on the Bank’s ICFR as of December 31, 2018, and we did not review management’s assessment of its ICFR subsequent to
December 31, 2018. This report has been prepared pursuant to the Acts on External Audit for Stock Companies, etc. in Korea and may not be
appropriate for other purposes or for other users.

We, as the President and the Internal Control over Financial Reporting (“ICFR”) Officer of Industrial Bank of Korea (“the Bank”), assessed the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Bank’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The Bank’s management, including ourselves, is responsible for designing and operating ICFR.
We assessed the design and operating effectiveness of the ICFR in the prevention and detection of an error or fraud which may cause material
misstatements in the preparation and disclosure of reliable financial statements. We followed the ‘Best Practice Guideline’ which is established by
the Operating Committee of Internal Control over Financial Reporting in Korea (the “ICFR Committee”) to evaluate the effectiveness of the ICFR
design and operation.
Based on the assessment results, we believe that the Bank’s ICFR, as at December 31, 2018, is designed and operating effectively, in all material
respects, in conformity with the Best Practice Guideline.
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 statement which cause material misunderstandings, and we have reviewed and verified this report
with sufficient due care.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Industrial Bank of Korea and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the
"Group"), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements
of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and
notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the
Group as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (Korean IFRS).
As stated in Note 2.2.5 of Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions of separate financial statements, the Bank recognized expected credit
loss as provision for impairment and provision liabilities by considering all reasonable and supportable information including that which is forward-
looking.
We identified provisions for expected credit losses as a key audit matter for following reasons. 1) The fact that individually assessed expected
credit loss is estimated using expected debtor’s cash flows which requires high level of management’s estimation and judgment. 2) The fact that
collectively assessed expected credit loss requires management’s estimation and judgment on complex input variables and assumptions.
Trade receivables at amortized cost that are assessed on an individual or collective basis are ₩ 216,737,965 million, and its related provision for
impairment is ₩ 2,573,470 million (Notes 9, 26, 49).
Other Matter
Auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The procedures and practices used 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 Korean 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.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
As part of an audit in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing, 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,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used 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.
· 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 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 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.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Sungeun Jin, Certified Public Accountant.
