At the same time, we have expanded the Woori Regional Synergy Council from four to nine regions and established
a Group Synergy Working Council for working-level staff from all subsidiaries. These initiatives are designed to in-
crease the opportunities for front-office feedback, streamline business discovery, and strengthen the management
of synergy projects across the Group.

Furthermore, the holding company will bolster collaboration among subsidiaries, especially during the integration of
new subsidiaries through M&A activities, such as those involving securities and insurance companies. This strategy
aims to drive growth by increasing market share in both the banking and non-banking sectors.

The merger between Woori Asset Management and Woori Global Asset Management, initiated in the second half
of 2023, was completed on January 29, 2024. This merger is expected to boost the AUM size, achieve economies
of scale, and improve operational efficiency, with Woori Financial Group continuing to support Woori Asset Manage-
ment to further strengthen its competitiveness.

Looking ahead, Woori Financial Group will actively seek acquisition opportunities in business areas we do not cur-
rently operate in, such as securities and insurance, focusing on targets that enhance corporate and shareholder
value. Additionally, we will consider further M&A opportunities to boost the competitiveness of our existing business
portfolio and elevate our market position.

DIGITAL INNOVATION
Woori Financial Group has established 'expanding customer-centric digital financial platforms' as its management objective, aiming to reinforce its growth
potential and core competencies. This strategic move aligns with the response to regulatory trends favoring innovation and addresses the increased market
uncertainties resulting from high interest rates, high inflation, and low growth.
The Group has devised strategic pathways centered on ‘Next-generation Digital Innovation’, ‘Enhancing Technological Competitiveness’, and ‘Fortifying its

RISK MANAGEMENT
In 2023, high interest rates persisted throughout the year following a rapid increase in interest rates. This led to an increase in defaults, particularly in vulnerable
sectors struggling to withstand high interest rates. Consequently, financial authorities signaled additional capital regulations such as countercyclical capital
buffers and stress buffers to strengthen the loss-absorbing capacity of financial institutions. As such, efficient capital allocation and management based on
limited capital became even more crucial. Accordingly, Woori Financial Group proactively engaged by maintaining a robust group risk management system,
diligently overseeing both stability and capital adequacy, and actively responding to and managing evolving regulatory reforms.

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 statement of financial position as of December 31, 2023,
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, 2023, 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, 2023, 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 6, 2024 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 audit 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 the ethical 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 of the current period. 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.

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 2,975,060 million as of December 31, 2023. 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 impact of future economic forecast information. For corporate loans,
the Group’s credit rating of the borrower and future economic forecast information are used in the
determination of the PD. 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. For the incorporation of future economic forecast information in the PD, the Group uses
various information to select a model and this also 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 evaluation of the qualitative factors which is used for determining the internal credit
ratings of corporate loans, and the manner in which future economic forecast information is
incorporated.

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 PD;
(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 PD 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.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2022 were audited
by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those financial statements on March 7,
2023.

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, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
• 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.
• 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.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Jae-Beom Choi.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
(5) The financial support that the Group provides to consolidated structured entities is as follows:

- Structured entity for asset securitization


The structured entity which 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 fund 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, 2023 and 2022, the Group provides 2,445,644 million Won and 231,309 million Won of
credit facilities, respectively, for the structured entities mentioned above. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022,
the purchase commitment amounts to 2,848,921 million Won and 2,545,164 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 distributes 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 vehicle, 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 fund, 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
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 Grou’'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 in 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, 2024, revised and approved on February 9, 2024 and the final approval will be made
in the annual general shareholders’ meeting on March 22, 2024.

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 1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ – Disclosure of Accounting


Policies

The amendments to Korean IFRS 1001 define and require entities to disclose their material
accounting policy information (being information that, when considered together with other
information included in an entity’s financial statements, can reasonably be expected to influence
decisions that the primary users of financial statements make on the basis of those financial
statements) statements). These amended do not have a significant impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

ii) Amendments to K-IFRS 1008 ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and
Errors’ - Definition of Accounting Estimates

The amendments have defined accounting estimates and clarified how to distinguish them from
changes in accounting policies. These amended do not have a significant impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

iii) Amendments to K-IFRS 1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ - Disclosure of valuation


gains or losses on financial liabilities with condition to adjust exercise price

The amendments require disclosure of valuation gains or losses (limited to those recognized in the
profit or loss) of the conversion options or warrants (or financial liabilities including them), if all or
part of the financial instrument with exercise price that is adjusted depending on the issuer’s share
price change is classified as financial liability as defined in paragraph 11 (2) of K-IFRS 1032. These
amended do not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

- 28 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
iv) Amendments to K-IFRS 1012 ‘Income Taxes’ - deferred tax related to assets and liabilities
arising from a single transaction

Additional phrase 'the temporary difference to be added and the temporary difference to be
deducted do not occur in the same amount' has been added to initial recognition exception for a
transaction in which an asset or liability is initially recognized. These amended do not have a
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

v) New Standard: K-IFRS 1117 ‘Insurance Contract’

K-IFRS 1117 Insurance Contracts replaces K-IFRS 1104 Insurance Contracts. This Standard
estimates future cash flows of an insurance contract and measures insurance liabilities using
discount rates applied with assumptions and risks at the measurement date. The entity recognizes
insurance revenue on an accrual basis including services (insurance coverage) provided to the
policyholder by each annual periods. In addition, investment components (Refunds due to
termination/maturity) repaid to a policyholder even if an insured event does not occur, are excluded
from insurance revenue, and insurance financial income or expense and the investment income or
expense are presented separately to enable users of the information to understand the sources of
income or expenses. This standard does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial
statements.

vi) K-IFRS 1012 ‘Income Taxes’ - International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules

The amendments provide a temporary relief from the accounting for deferred taxes arising from
legislation enacted to implement the Pillar Two model rules, which aim to reform international
corporate taxation for multinational enterprises, and require disclosure of related current tax effects,
etc. The amendments do not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

The Group applies the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets
and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. Since the Pillar Two legislation is scheduled to be
effective from January 1, 2024, the Group has no current tax expense related to Pillar Two. The
Group is in review for the impact of these amendments on the financial statements and does not
expect that the impact will be significant.

2) The details of K-IFRSs that have been issued and published as of December 31,2023 but have not
yet reached the effective date, and which the Group have not been early adopted by the Group are
as follows:

i) Amendments to K-IFRS 1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ - Classification of


Liabilities as Current or Non-current, Non-current Liabilities with Covenants

The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on
rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and specify that classification is
unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a
liability, explain that rights are in existence if covenants are complied with at the end of the
reporting period and introduce a definition of ‘settlement’ to make it clear that settlement refers to
the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services.

The amendments specify that only covenants that an entity is required to comply with on or before
the end of the reporting period affect the entity’s right to defer settlement of liability for at least 12
months after the reporting date.

Such covenants affect whether the right exists at the end of the reporting period, even if compliance
with the covenant is assessed only after the reporting date.

The amendments also specify that the right to defer settlement is not affected if an entity only has
to comply with a covenant after the reporting period. However, if the entity’s right to defer
settlement of liability is subject to the entity complying with covenants within 12 months after the

- 29 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
reporting period, an entity discloses information that enables users of financial statements to
understand the risk of the liabilities becoming repayable within 12 months after the reporting
period. This would include information about the covenants (including the nature of the covenants
and when the entity is required to comply with them), the carrying amount of related liabilities and
the facts and circumstances, if any, that indicate that the entity may have difficulties complying
with the covenants.
The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and
earlier application is permitted. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a
significant impact on the financial statements.

ii) Amendments to K-IFRS 1007 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’, K-IFRS 1107 ‘Financial Instruments:
Disclosures’ – Supplier finance arrangements

When applying supplier finance arrangements, an entity shall disclose information about its
supplier finance arrangements that enables users of financial statements to assess the effects of
those arrangements on the entity’s liabilities and cash flows and on the entity’s exposure to
liquidity risk. The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January
1, 2024, and earlier application is permitted. The Group does not expect that these amended will
have a significant impact on the financial statements.

iii) Amendments to K-IFRS 1116 ‘Leases’ - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

When subsequently measuring lease liabilities arising from a sale and leaseback, a seller-lessee
shall determine lease payments or revised lease payments in a way that the seller-lessee would not
recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee.
The amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and
earlier application is permitted. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a
significant impact on the financial statements.

iv) Amendments to K-IFRS 1001 ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ – Disclosure of


Cryptographic Assets

The amendments require for an additional disclosure if an entity holds cryptographic assets, or
holds cryptographic assets on behalf of the customer, or issues cryptographic assets. The
amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and earlier
application is permitted. The Group does not expect that these amendments will have a significant
impact on the financial statements.

The above enacted or amended standards will not have a significant impact on the Group.

(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;

- Rights arising from other contractual arrangements;

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
- 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.

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 into 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

- 31 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
- 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.
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 do 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 amount 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

- 32 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
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 decision 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.

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 its 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 that 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.

- 33 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

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 to 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 the long-term investment
interest resulting from the allocation of losses to the investee in accordance with K-IFRS 1028.

(5) Investment in joint operation

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have
rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, 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.

When the Group operates as a joint operator, it recognizes in relation to its interest in a joint operation:

- its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;


- its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
- its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;
- its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation;
- its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

The Group accounts for the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that correspond to its interest in a joint
operation in accordance with the K-IFRSs applicable to the specific assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

When the Group enters into a transaction with a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, such as a sale
or contribution of assets, it is conducting the transaction with the other parties to the joint operation and, as
such, the Group recognizes gains and losses resulting from such a transaction only to the extent of the other
parties’ interests in the joint operation.

When the Group enters a transaction with a joint operation in which it is a joint operator, such as a purchase
of assets, it does not recognize proportional share of profit or loss until the asset is sold to a third party.

(6) Revenue recognition

K-IFRS 1115 requires the recognition of revenues based on transaction price allocated to the performance
obligation when or as the Group performs that obligation to the customer. Revenues other than those from
contracts with customers, such as interest revenue and loan origination fee (cost), are recognized through
effective interest rate method.

1) Revenues from contracts with customers

The Group recognizes revenue when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a
promised good or service to a customer. When a performance obligation is satisfied, the Group 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 Group expects to be
entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts
collected on behalf of third parties.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
2) Revenues from sources other than contracts with customers

① Interest income

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 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, is accounted
for as deferred origination fees. Incremental costs related to the origination of loans are
accounted for as deferred origination fees and is 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.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
(8) Cash and cash equivalents

The Group 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.

(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.

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 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 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 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
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 condition 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

- 38 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
- Contractual terms that limit the Group’s claim on cash flows arising from certain assets

① Financial assets at FVTPL

The Group 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 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.

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 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 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 instrument 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.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
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.

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 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 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.

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.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
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.

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 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 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 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 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 asset 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 is 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 Property, Plant and Equipment. The estimated useful lives, residual values and
depreciation method 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.

(12) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses. The cost of an item of Property, Plant 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 Property, Plant 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 Property, Plant
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 Property, Plant and Equipment item exceeds the estimated recoverable amount, the
carrying amount of such asset is reduced to the recoverable amount.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
(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 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
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.

Goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating unit (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.

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
(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.

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 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 be 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.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
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 asset 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 ‘Property, Plant 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 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.

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 review 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 right 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 instrument 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 is documenting 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).

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
The Group has designated derivatives as hedging instrument 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 holds 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 does 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.

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
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 holds 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 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. 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 an 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 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.

- Loss allowance in accordance with K-IFRS 1109


- Initial carrying amount less accumulated profit measured in accordance with K-IFRS 1115

(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 every end of the reporting period, conducted by a
professional actuaries. 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 cost (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 asset
to be recovered.

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 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.

(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.

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.

The Korean government implemented support measures such as loan repayment deferment to mitigate the
negative impact of COVID-19. The Group determined that the credit risk of loans affected by the repayment
deferment has significantly increased, with a high possibility of default. The Group will continue to evaluate
the adequacy of forward-looking information regarding the duration of the economic impacts of COVID-19
and future government policies even after termination of financial support. The Group also manages credit
risk on loans with extended maturities.

<Woori Bank>

Woori Bank recognizes additional expected credit loss allowance for loans subject to payment holiday and
extended maturities due to the assessment of the high possibility of default.

Woori Bank’s total loans (loan receivables, payment guarantees) that are subject to payment holiday and that
changed its stage from 12-month to lifetime expected credit losses (Stage 2) due to the increase in credit risk
considering payment holiday, and additionally recognized expected credit loss allowances are as follows.

In addition, as of December 31, 2023, the Group reflects the forward-looking information in the estimated
probability of default rate and recognizes additional expected credit loss allowance appropriations by
adjusting the forward-looking indicators in consideration of the Korean government financial support
policies, increased economic uncertainty, and potential insolvency due to market interest rate hikes.

<Woori Card>

Woori Card Co., Ltd. recognize an additional allowance for expected credit losses as it evaluates loans with
payment holiday and extended maturities as having a high probability of default. As of December 31, 2023
and 2022, which credit risk has increased significantly due to payment holiday, financial assets at amortized
cost of debtors transferred from 12-month expected credit loss measurement to lifetime expected credit losses
are 6,764 million Won and 6,670 million Won, respectively, and additionally recognized expected credit loss
allowance are 131 million Won and 177 million Won, respectively.

<Woori Financial Capital Co., Ltd.>

Woori Financial Capital Co., Ltd. recognize an additional allowance for expected credit losses as it evaluates
loans with payment holiday and extended maturities as having a high probability of default. As of December
31, 2023 and 2022, which credit risk has increased significantly due to payment holiday, financial assets at
amortized cost of debtors transferred from 12-month expected credit loss measurement to lifetime expected
credit losses are 24,384 million Won and 52,611 million Won, respectively, and additionally recognized
expected credit loss allowance are 5,284 million Won and 9,846 million Won, respectively.

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 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 tenant 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.

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 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 Risk Management Committee, Chief Risk Officer(CRO),
and Risk Management Department. The Board of Directors operates a Risk Management Committee
comprised of outside directors for professional risk management. The 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 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


No significant increase in credit risk after Significant increase in credit Credit-
Definition

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

(*) 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.

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

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

Corporate Exposures Retail Exposures


Asset quality level ‘Precautionary’ or lower Asset quality level ‘Precautionary’ or lower
More than 30 days past due More than 30 days past due
‘Warning’ level in early warning system Significant decrease in credit rating(*)

WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
The Group determined that there is no significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition for debt
securities, etc. with a credit rating of A + or higher, which are deemed to have low credit risk at the end
of the reporting period.

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 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 being reviewed in order to reduce discrepancies with actual losses.

In measuring the expected credit losses, the Group is also using reasonable and supportable
macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth rate, Personal consumption expenditures
increase/decrease rate, consumer price index change rate in order to forecast future economic
conditions.

The Group is conducting the following procedures to estimate and apply forward looking information.
- Development of estimation models through regression analysis of corporate retail/year-by-year
default rate and macroeconomic indicator data by year

3) Maximum exposure

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

5) Collateral and other credit enhancements

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023 and 2022 are 161,893
million Won and 149,511 million Won, respectively, with net losses recognized along with the
changes 5,107 million Won and 8,474 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, 2023 and 2022 are 10,089,739 million Won and
9,825,284 million Won. In addition, the contractual non-recoverable amount of financial assets
amortized for the year ended December 31, 2023, but still in the process of recovery is 1,599,465
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 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 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)

b) Non-trading activities

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

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

(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) 5).

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, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (Unit: Korean Won in

3) Maturity analysis of derivative financial liabilities

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

The cash flow by the maturity of derivative financial liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as
follows (Unit: Korean Won in millions):

4) Maturity analysis of off-balance accounts (Payment guarantees, commitments, and etcs)

A payment guarantee represents an irrevocable undertaking that the Group should meet a customer’s
obligations to third parties if the customer fails to do so. The loan commitment represents the limit if the
Group has promised a credit to the customer. Loan commitments include commercial standby facilities
and credit lines, liquidity facilities to commercial paper conduits and utilized overdraft facilities. The
maximum limit to be paid by the Group in accordance with guarantees and loan commitment only
applies to principal amounts. There are contractual maturities for payment guarantees, such as financial
guarantees for debentures issued or loans, unused loan commitments, and other credits, however, under
the terms of the guarantees and unused loan commitments, funds should be paid upon demand from the
counterparty. Details of off-balance accounts as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (Unit:
Korean Won in millions):

December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022


Payment guarantees 13,793,301 11,921,586
Loan commitments 126,829,192 118,172,070
Other commitments 4,854,099 4,602,429

(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 problem or external factors.

1) Operational risk management

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

2) Operational risk measurement

The Group applies the standard approach for the purpose of calculating operational risk required equity
capital.

- The standard approach is to calculate operational risk required equity capital by multiplying the
Business Indicator Component(BIC), which is calculated by multiplying Business Indicator(BI) that is a
measure based on consolidated financial statements and adjustment coefficient, and the Internal Loss
Multiplier(ILM), an adjusted multiplier based on the average past loss and operating index.

“Operational risk required equity capital” = Business Indicator Component (BIC) × Internal Loss
Multiplier(ILM)
“Business Indicator Component(BIC)” = Business Index(BI) × Adjustment Coefficient
“Internal Loss Multiplier(ILM)” = ln (exp(1)-1 + (Loss Component(LC)/Business Indicator
Component(BIC)^0.8)

Bucket Business Index (BI) section The coefficient


1 1.4 trillion Won or less 12%
2 More than 1.4 trillion Won and less than or equal to 42
trillion Won 15%
3 Over 42 trillion Won 18%

(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.

According to the above regulations, the Group is required to meet the following minimum requirements: Tier
1 common capital ratio of 8.0%, a Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.5%, and a total capital ratio of 11.5% as of
December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Details of the Group’s capital adequacy ratio as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (Unit: Korean

11. 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 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 Group’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to a fair
value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of inherent factors of the asset or
liability.

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

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

1) Valuation methods and input variables for each type of financial instrument classified into level 2 as
of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

Valuation methods Input variables


Debt securities Fair value is measured by discounting the future cash Risk-free market rate, credit spread,
flows of debt securities applying the risk-free market discount rate originated from credit

Loans The future cash flows of debt instruments are Risk-free market rate and credit spread
measured at a discount by applying the market
interest rate applied to entities with similar
creditworthiness to the debtor.

(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 below table 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, equity-linked securities beneficiary certificates and loans of which fair
value changes are recognized as net income; (2) equity securities of which fair value changes are recognized
as other comprehensive income.

Meanwhile, among the financial instruments that are classified as Level 3 amounting to 5,484,098 million
Won and 4,695,688 million Won as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, equity instruments of
4,704,747 million Won and 3,196,703 million Won whose carrying amount are considered to represent the
reasonable approximation of fair value are excluded from the sensitivity analysis.

The sensitivity on fluctuation of input variables by financial instruments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022

(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 resale and repurchase agreement and accounted it as a collateralized borrowing.
The Group has also entered into a resale and purchase agreement and accounted it as a secured loans. 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.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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):

(*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

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
(*4) The Group has acquired PT Batavia Prosperindo Finance Tbk to expand installment finance business in
Indonesia, and recognized the goodwill as it is expected to strengthen the competitiveness and existing
customer relationships by securing sales network of used cars in Indonesia.

2) Impairment test

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% - 4.3% 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 conducted a consolidated impairment test on the goodwill of Woori Asset Management
and Woori Global Asset Management, which are scheduled to merge in January 2024.

As a result of the impairment test on goodwill, it is determined that the carrying amount of the cash-
generating unit to which the goodwill has been allocated will not exceed the recoverable amount.

24. NET DEFINED BENEFIT LIABILITY(ASSET)

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

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

Volatility of asset The defined benefit obligation was estimated with an interest rate
calculated based on blue chip corporate bonds earnings. A deficit
may occur if the rate of return of plan assets falls short of the interest
rate.
Decrease in profitability of blue- A decrease in profitability of blue-chip bonds will be offset by some
chip bonds 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

(2) Overview of the Group’s hedge accounting

1) Fair value hedge

As of December 31, 2023, the Group has applied fair value hedge on fixed interest rate foreign currency
denominated debentures amounting to 3,682,140 million Won, and foreign currency loans amounting to
261,084 million Won. The purpose of the hedging is to avoid fair value volatility risk of fixed interest
rate foreign and local currency denominated debentures derived from fluctuations of market interest
rate, and as such the Group entered into interest rate swap agreements designated as hedging
instruments.

Pursuant to the interest rate swap agreement, by swapping the calculated difference between the fixed
interest rate and floating interest rate applied to the nominal value, the fair value fluctuation risk is
hedged as the foreign currency denominated debentures 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.

2) Cash Flow Hedge

As of the December 31, 2023, the Group has applied cash flow hedge on local currency denominated
debentures amounting to 179,945 million won and debentures on foreign currency amounting to
752,447 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.

This means 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, which results in the conversion
of interest rates of debentures in local currency from variable interest into fixed interest, eliminating the
cash flow fluctuation risk.

- 149 -
WOORI FINANCIAL GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
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 SGD, 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 risk, which is the most significant factor in the
cash flow fluctuation of the hedged item, is addressed in this hedging relationship, and other risk factors
such as credit risk are not subject to hedging.

Thus, there could be hedge ineffectiveness arising 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 of the derivative. The Group
expects that the value of interest rate swap contract, currency swap contract and value of the hedged
item will generally fluctuate in opposite direction.

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 and Hong Kong Woori Investment Bank, and overseas branches, 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 volatility of KRW against USD, which may reduce
the carrying amount of the Group's net investments in Woori America Bank, Woori Bank(Cambodia)
PLC and Hong Kong Woori Investment Bank.

A portion of the Group's net investments in Woori America Bank, Woori Bank(Cambodia) PLC and
Hong Kong Woori Investment Bank, and overseas branches are hedged in USD denominated foreign
currency bonds(Carrying amount as of December 31, 2023: USD 863,959,317) and mitigate foreign
exchange risk arising from the net assets of subsidiaries.
The bonds was designated as a hedging instrument for changes in the value of net investment resulting
from fluctuations in the USD/KRW spot exchange rate.

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

(*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) It is a system in which the amount of stock payable is determined at the beginning, and the payment rate is determined
in accordance with the degree of achievement of the pre-set performance target. Performance is evaluated by long-
term performance indicators such as relative shareholder return, net profit, return on equity (ROE), non-performing
loan ratio, and job performance.

2) The Group accounts for performance condition share-based payments according to the cash-settled
method and the fair value of the liabilities is reflected in the compensation costs by re-measuring
every closing period. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying amount of the liabilities related
to the performance condition share-based payments recognized by the Group amounts to 46,741
million Won and 41,334 million Won, respectively, including the carrying amount of liabilities
related to key management of 19,924 million Won and 17,494 million Won, respectively.

(4) Other commitments

1) As of December 31, 2023, Woori FIS Co., Ltd, a subsidiary, has been provided with a payment
guarantee limit of 6,457 million Won in relation to bid guarantees and contract/defect guarantees
from the Korean Software Financial Cooperative, but there is no committed amount. In relation to
the guarantee, the capital contributions to the Korean Software Financial Cooperative are provided
as collateral. In addition, as of December 31, 2023, Seoul Guarantee Insurance Company is
providing a payment guarantee of 374 million Won related to the return of subsidy to the daycare
center at work.

2) As of December 31, 2023, Woori FIS Co., Ltd, a subsidiary agreed with Shinhan Bank for short-
term borrowings of 20 billion Won for one year (2023.11.16.~2024.11.16.), and there is no
outstanding balance of short-term borrowings as of December 31, 2023.

3) As of December 31, 2023, Woori Savings bank is provided with a guarantee of 1,593 million Won
from Seoul Guarantee Insurance Company in relation to provisional attachment for recovery of
loans, etc.

4) As of December 31, 2023, Woori Asset Trust, a subsidiary, has committed to fulfill responsibility
for the completion of 43 projects, including a residential-commercial complex in U-dong,
Haeundae-gu, Busan. Responsible completion type management land trust is a trust that bears the
obligation of responsible completion when the construction company fails to fulfill the obligation
of responsible completion, and the obligation to compensate losses to the lending financial
institution if Woori Asset Trust fails to fulfill the obligation of responsible completion. As of
December 31, 2023, the total amount of PF(Project Financing) loans from PF lending financial
institutions invested in the responsible completion type management land trust business is
2,275,634 million Won. Although additional losses may occur in relation to these contracts for
liability obligations, these effects were not reflected in the financial statements at the end of the
current period because the possibility is not high and the amount of losses cannot be reliably
estimated. Meanwhile, Woori Asset Trust Co., Ltd. has failed to fulfill the responsibility of the
completion of 5 projects including the Okjeong Knowledge Industry Center in Yangju. The total
amount of PF limit from PF lending financial institutions invested in projects is 271,000 million
Won and the amount of PF loans is 161,700 million Won. Additionally, Woori Asset Trust Co.,
Ltd. has exceeded the deadline for responsibility of completion of a commercial facility in
Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province. The total amount of PF limit from PF lending financial institutions
invested in projects is 61,000 million Won and the amount of PF loans is 43,000 million Won.
Also, as of December 31, 2023, Woori Asset Trust may lend a trust account for a part of the total
project cost in relation to 24 debt-type land trust contracts including Busan Haeundae Udong
Beautique Terrace Hotel and responsible completion management land trust contracts in
Gyeongseo-dong, Seo-gu, Incheon, and additional business sites in progress. The maximum loan
amount (unused limit) is 113,428 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.

5) Pursuant to some contracts related to asset securitization, the Group utilizes various prerequisites as
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.

6) During the current period, there was an investigation by Fair Trade Commission regarding Loan-
To-Value ratio. The Group received the review report but cannot reasonably estimate its impact on
financial statements.

cash flows that are not expected to be recovered as of the acquisition date are 2,480 million Won.

combination and were valued at fair value through the Multi-period excess earning method (MEEM) as

to estimate the future cash flows generated by each intangible asset and to discount the cash flows
generated purely by that intangible asset to its present value by deducting the portion of the asset’s
contribution to that cash flow generation.

If, within one year of the acquisition date, new information obtained about the facts and circumstances that
existed at the acquisition date requires the adjustment of the amounts recognized at the acquisition date, or the
recognition of additional provisions existing at the acquisition date, the accounting for the business
combination will be adjusted.

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, 2023 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, 2023, 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,
2023, 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 6, 2024 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

Our responsibility is to express opinion on the Group’s internal control over financial reporting for
consolidation purposes based on our audit. We conducted our 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 for consolidation purposes was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit of internal control over financial reporting for consolidation purposes included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting for consolidation purposes, assessing the risk that
a
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.
