Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Significant Accounting Policies 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. 2.1 Basis of Preparation The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following: • Certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments), certain classes of property and equipment and investment property – measured at fair value • Assets held-for-sale • Defined benefit pension plans – plan assets measured at fair value The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3. 2.2 Changes in Accounting Policy and Disclosures (1) New and amended standards adopted by the Group The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2019. - Enactment of IFRS 16 Leases Under IFRS 16, with implementation of a single lease model, lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities for all lease which lease term is over 12 months and underlying assets are not low value assets. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use With implementation of IFRS 16 Lease - Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation The narrow-scope amendments made to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Amendments to IAS 9 Employee Benefits – Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement of the Plan The amendments require that an entity shall calculate current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement based on updated actuarial assumptions from the date of the change. The amendments also require that a reduction in a surplus must be recognized in profit or loss even if that surplus was not previously recognized because of the impact of the asset ceiling. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. - Amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures The amendments clarify that an entity shall apply IFRS 9 to financial instruments in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied. These include long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the entity’s net investment in an associate or joint venture. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. - Enactment to Interpretation of IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments The interpretation explains how to recognize and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a tax treatment, and includes guidance on how to determine whether each uncertain tax treatment is considered separately or together. It also presents examples of circumstances where a judgement or estimate is required to be reassessed. The enactment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. - Annual Improvements to IFRS 2015 – 2017 Cycle: • IFRS 3 Business Combination The amendments clarify that when a party to a joint arrangement obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, and had rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to that joint operation immediately before the acquisition date, the transaction is a business combination achieved in stages. In such cases, the acquirer shall remeasure its entire previously held interest in the joint operation. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. • IFRS 11 Joint Agreements The amendments clarify that when a party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation might obtain joint control of the joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business. In such cases, previously held interests in the joint operation are not re-measured. • Amendments to Paragraph 57A of IAS 12 Income Tax The amendment is applied to all the income tax consequences of dividends and requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. • IAS 23 Borrowing Costs The amendments clarify that if a specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related qualifying asset is ready for its intended use (or sale), it becomes part of general borrowings. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. (2) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group Certain new accounting standard and interpretation that have been published that are not mandatory for annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2019 and have not been early adopted by the Group are set out below. - Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors – Definition of Material The amendments clarify the explanation of the definition of material and amended IAS 1 and IAS 8 in accordance with the clarified definitions. Materiality is assessed by reference to omission or misstatement of material information as well as effects of immaterial information, and to the nature of the users when determining the information to be disclosed by the Group. These amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and earlier application is permitted. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. - Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combination – Definition of a Business To consider the integration of the required activities and assets as a business, the amended definition of a business requires an acquisition to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs and excludes economic benefits from the lower costs. An entity can apply an optional concentration test, in which substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar assets, and the assets acquired would not represent a business. These amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and earlier application is permitted. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. - Agenda Resolution of the International Accounting Standards Commission – Lease Period The International Accounting Standards Commission (IFRS IC) announced on December 16, 2019 that all economic disadvantages resulting from the termination of a lease are taken into account when determining the enforceable period for ‘the useful life of lease term and lease asset improvement rights’. The Group is analyzing the effect of changes in accounting policies on the consolidated financial statements for enforceable periods in accordance with the decision and will reflect the effect in the consolidated financial statements after the analysis is completed. 2.3 Consolidation The Group has prepared the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities (“SPEs”)) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. The consideration transferred is measured at the fair values of the assets transferred, and identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling acquisition-by-acquisition non-controlling non-controlling The excess of consideration transferred, amount of any non-controlling Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. (2) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling (3) Disposal of subsidiaries When the Group ceases to consolidate for a subsidiary because of a loss of control, any retained interest in the subsidiary is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. (4) Associates Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but does not possess control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognized at cost. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. If the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate (including long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the Group’s interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. If there is an objective evidence of impairment for the investment in the associate, the Group recognizes the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its book amount as impairment loss. If an associate uses accounting policies other than those of the Group for transactions and events in similar circumstances, if necessary, adjustments shall be made to make the associate’s accounting policies conform to those of the Group when the associate’s financial statements are used by the Group in applying the equity method. (5) Joint arrangement A joint arrangement, wherein two or more parties have joint control, is classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture. A joint operator recognizes its direct right to the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. A joint venture has rights to the net assets relating to the joint venture and accounts for that investment using the equity method. 2.4 Segment Reporting Information of each operating segment is reported in a manner consistent with the business segment reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (Note 34). The chief operating decision-maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. 2.5 Foreign Currency Translation (1) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Parent Company’s functional and presentation currency. (2) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in profit or loss. They are deferred in other comprehensive income if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying effective portion of net investment hedges, or are attributable to monetary part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated statements of operations, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statements of operations within operating revenue or operating expenses. Non-monetary non-monetary non-monetary (3) Translation to the presentation currency The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period, • income and expenses for each consolidated statements of operations are translated at average exchange rates for the period, • equity is translated at the historical exchange rate, and • all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. 2.6 Financial Assets The Group has applied IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, on January 1, 2018, the date of initial application. In accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 9, the Group recorded the cumulative effect as at the date of the initial application of the standards as an adjustment to the initial balance in the retained earnings . (1) Classification The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: • those to be measured at fair value through profit or loss • those to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and • those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For financial assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. The Group reclassifies debt investments when, and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. Changes in fair value of the investments in equity instruments that are not accounted for as other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss. (2) Measurement At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Hybrid (combined) contracts with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. A. Debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Group classifies its debt instruments into one of the following three measurement categories: • Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in ‘finance income’ using the effective interest rate method. • Fair value through other comprehensive income: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment loss (and reversal of impairment loss), interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in ‘finance income’ using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in ‘finance income or finance costs’ and impairment loss in ‘finance costs or operating expenses’. • Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and presented net in the consolidated s operations B. Equity instruments The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as ‘finance income’ when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in ‘finance income or finance costs’ in the consolidated s operations (3) Impairment The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables and lease receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach, which requires expected lifetime credit losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. (4) Recognition and Derecognition Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. If a transfer does not result in derecognition because the Group has retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset in its entirety and recognizes a financial liability for the consideration received. (5) Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of financial position where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counterparty. 2.7 Derivative Instruments Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group has hedge relationships and designates certain derivatives as: • hedges of a particular risk associated with the cash flows of recognized assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges) At inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items. The fair values of derivative financial instruments designated in hedge relationships are disclosed in Note 37. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current non-derivative non-derivative non-current The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity, and the ineffective portion is recognized in ‘finance income (costs)’. Amounts of changes in fair value of effective hedging instruments accumulated in equity are recognized as ‘finance income (costs)’ for the periods when the corresponding transactions affect profit or loss. When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold, terminated, exercised, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any accumulated cash flow hedge reserve at that time remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs, resulting in the recognition of a non-financial 2.8 Trade Receivables Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognized at fair value. Trade receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. See Note 6 for further information about the Group’s accounting for trade receivables and Note 2.6 (3) for a description of the Group’s impairment policies. 2.9 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the moving average method, except for inventories in-transit. 2.10 Assets (or Disposal Group) Held-for-sale Assets (or disposal group) are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use and when a sale is considered highly probable. The assets are measured at the lower amount between their carrying amount and the fair value less selling costs. 2.11 Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation of all property and equipment, except for land, is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows: Estimated Useful Life Buildings 5 – 40 years Structures 5 – 40 years Machinery and equipment (Telecommunications equipment and others) 2 – 40 years Others Vehicles 4 – 6 years Tools 4 – 6 years Office equipment 2 – 6 years The depreciation method, residual values and useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and, if appropriate, accounted for as changes in accounting estimates. 2.12 Investment Property Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. An investment property is measured initially at its cost. After recognition as an asset, investment property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Investment property, except for land, is depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives from 10 to 40 years. 2.13 Intangible Assets (1) Goodwill Goodwill is measured as explained in Note 2.3 (1) and goodwill arising from acquisition of subsidiaries and business are included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of subsidiaries and business include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the subsidiaries and business sold. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the CGUs, or group of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level. Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying amount of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed. (2) Intangible assets except goodwill Intangible assets, except for goodwill, are initially recognized at its historical cost, and carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Membership rights (condominium membership and golf membership) that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization because there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the assets are expected to be utilized. The Group amortizes intangible assets with a limited useful life using the straight-line method over the following periods: Estimated Useful Life Development costs 5 – 6 years Software 6 years Industrial property rights 5 – 50 years Frequency usage rights 5 – 10 years Others 1 2 – 50 years 1 Membership rights (condominium membership and golf membership) and broadcast license included in others are classified as intangible assets with indefinite useful life. 2.14 Borrowing Costs General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. 2.15 Government Grants Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants related to assets are presented in the statement of financial position by setting up the grant as deferred income that is recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Grants related to income are presented as a credit in the consolidated s operations 2.16 Impairment of Non-Financial Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested at least annually for impairment at the end of each reporting period. If certain assets are deemed to be impaired, their recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the impairment loss. The Group estimates the recoverable amount for each asset, and in cases when the recoverable amount cannot be estimated for an asset, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is estimated. Corporate assets are allocated to individual cash generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis and if they cannot be allocated to individual cash generating units, they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use). Impairment loss on non-financial 2.17 Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of reporting period which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities, unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. 2.18 Financial Liabilities (1) Classification and measurement The Group’s financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial instruments held for trading. A financial liability is held for trading if it is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments or derivatives separated from financial instruments containing embedded derivatives are also categorized as held for trading. All non-derivative • Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss • Financial guarantee contract • Financial liabilities arising when the transfer of financial assets does not meet the elimination conditions Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are displayed in the statement of financial position as ‘trade payables and other liabilities’, ‘borrowings’ and ‘other financial liabilities’. Preferred shares that require mandatory redemption at a particular date are classified as liabilities. Interest expenses on these preferred shares using the effective interest method are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as ‘finance costs’, together with interest expenses recognized from other financial liabilities. (2) Derecognition — Financial liabilities are removed from the statement of financial position when they are extinguished; for example, when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired or when the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially modified. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid (including any non-cash 2.19 Financial Guarantee Contracts Financial guarantee contracts are recognized as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value, subsequently at the higher of following and recognized in the statement of financial position within ‘other financial liabilities’. • the amount determined in accordance with the expected credit loss model under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments • the amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 2.20 Employee Benefits (1) Post-employment benefits The Group operates both defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses when an employee has rendered service. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Generally, post-employment benefits are payable after the completion of employment, and the benefit amount depended on the employee’s age, periods of service or salary levels. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the re |

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions | 3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. Management exercise judgement in applying the Group’s accounting policies. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. As the resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results, it can contain a significant risk of causing a material adjustment. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Additional information of significant judgement and assumptions of certain items are included in relevant notes. 3.1 Impairment of Non-Financial The Group determines the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) based on fair value or value-in-use non-financial 3.2 Income Taxes The Group’s taxable income generated from these operations are subject to income taxes based on tax laws and interpretations of tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain (Note 29). If certain portion of the taxable income is not used for investments or increase in wages or dividends in accordance with the Tax System For Recirculation of Corporate Income, the Group is liable to pay additional income tax calculated based on the tax laws. Accordingly, the measurement of current and deferred income tax is affected by the tax effects from the new tax system. As the Group’s income tax is dependent on the investments, increase in wages and dividends, there is an uncertainty measuring the final tax effects. 3.3 Fair Value of Derivatives and Financial Instruments The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period (Note 37). 3.4 Impairment of Financial Assets The provision for impairment for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation based on the Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period (Note 37). 3.5 Net Defined Benefit Liability The present value of net defined benefit liability depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions including the discount rate (Note 18). 3.6 Amortization of Contract Assets, Contract Liabilities and Contract Cost Assets Contract assets, contract liabilities and contract cost assets recognized under the application of IFRS 15 are amortized over the expected periods of customer relationships. The estimate of the expected terms of customer relationship is based on the historical data. If management’s estimate changes, it may cause significant differences in the timing of revenue recognition and amounts recognized. 3.7 Provisions As described in Note 17, the Group records provisions for litigation and assets retirement obligations at the end of the reporting period. The provisions are estimated based on the factors such as the historical experiences. 3.8 Useful Lives of Property and Equipment and Investment Property The property and equipment, intangible assets, and investment properties, excluding land, goodwill, condominium memberships, golf club memberships and broadcast license, are depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives. The estimated useful lives are determined based on expected usage of the assets and the estimates can be materially affected by technical changes and other factors. The Group will increase depreciation expenses if the useful lives are considered shorter than the previously estimated useful lives. |

Financial Risk Management | 36. Financial Risk Management (1) Financial Risk Factors The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures such as cash flow risk. The Group’s financial policy is set up in the long-term perspective and annually reported to the Board of Directors. The financial risk management is carried out by the Value Management Office, which identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks. The treasury department in the Value Management Office considers various finance market conditions to estimate the effect from the market changes. 1) Market risk The Group’s market risk management focuses on controlling the extent of exposure to the risk in order to minimize revenue volatility. Market risk is a risk that decreases value or profit of the Group’s portfolio due to changes in market interest rate, foreign exchange rate and other factors. (i) Sensitivity analysis Sensitivity analysis is performed for each type of market risk to which the Group is exposed. Reasonably possible changes in the relevant risk variable such as prevailing market interest rates, currency rates, equity prices or commodity prices are estimated and if the rate of change in the underlying risk variable is stable, the Group does not alter the chosen reasonably possible change in the risk variable. The reasonably possible change does not include remote or ‘worst case’ scenarios or ‘stress tests’. (ii) Foreign exchange risk The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from operating, investing and financing activities. Foreign exchange risk is managed within the range of the possible effect on the Group’s cash flows. Foreign exchange risk (i.e. foreign currency translation of overseas operating assets and liabilities) unaffecting the Group’s cash flows is not hedged but can be hedged at a particular situation. As at December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, if the foreign exchange rate had strengthened/weakened by 10% with all other variables held constant, the effects on profit before income tax and shareholders’ equity would have been as follows: (In millions of Korean won) Fluctuation of Income before tax 1 Shareholders’ equity 2017.12.31 10 % (10,132 ) (7,273 ) -10 % 10,132 7,273 2018.12.31 10 % (2,350 ) 633 -10 % (2,851 ) (62 ) 2019.12.31 10 % (51,581 ) (44,638 ) -10 % 51,581 44,638 1 Computed with considering derivatives hedging effect applied by the Group to hedge foreign exchange risk of liabilities in foreign currencies. The above analysis is a simple sensitivity analysis which assumes that all the variables other than foreign exchange rates are held constant. Therefore, the analysis does not reflect any correlation between foreign exchange rates and other variables, nor the management’s decision to decrease the risk. Details of financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies as at December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, are as follows: (In thousands of foreign 2017 2018 2019 Financial Financial Financial Financial Financial Financial USD 236,476 1,908,831 279,327 1,893,782 209,163 2,551,289 SDR 1 306 738 267 730 255 729 JPY 28,267 21,801,443 66,078 50,000,000 24,930 80,000,000 GBP — 74 — 256 — 56 EUR 186 3,625 2 6 1 6 DZD 2 47 — 618 — — — CNY 46,555 10 16,315 271 2,438,626 14,137 UZS 3 136,787 — 121,053 — — — RWF 4 3,346 — 857 — 706 — THB 5 — — 1,685 1,685 6,143 3,079 IDR 6 14,886,393 710,162 64,240,286 41,510,330 10,657,194 2,034,151 MMK 7 84 — 84 — 84 — TZS 8 317,348 — — 2,876 6,919 — BWP 9 42 — 897 — 911 — HKD — — — — — 268 BDT 10 38,074 — 39,494 — 18,897 — PLN 11 338 — 26 — — — VND 12 311,649 — 467,272 — 271,563 — XAF 13 — — 666 — 97,411 — CHF 14 — 12 — — — — 1 Special Drawing Rights. 2 Algeria Dinar. 3 Uzbekistan Sum. 4 Rwanda Franc. 5 Thailand Bhat. 6 Indonesia Rupiah. 7 Myanmar Kyat. 8 Tanzanian Shilling. 9 Botswana Pula. 10 Bangladesh Taka. 11 Polish Zloty. 12 Vietnam Dong. 13 Central African Franc. 14 Confoederatio Helvetia Franc. (iii) Price risk As at December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because the securities held by the Group are traded in active markets. If the market prices had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, the effects on profit before income tax and shareholders’ equity would have been as follows: (In millions of Korean won) Fluctuation of price Income before tax Equity 2017.12.31 10% ₩ — ₩ 686 -10% — (686 ) 2018.12.31 10% ₩ 12 ₩ 898 -10% (12 ) (898 ) 2019.12.31 10% ₩ 23 ₩ 697 -10% (23 ) (697 ) The above analysis is based on the assumption that the equity index had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant and all the Group’s marketable equity instruments had moved according to the historical correlation with the index. Gain or loss on equity securities classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income can increase or decrease equity. (iv) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk The Group’s interest rate risk arises from liabilities in foreign currency such as foreign currency debentures. Debentures in foreign currency issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by swap transactions. Debentures and borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group sets the policy and operates to minimize the uncertainty of the changes in interest rates and financial costs. As at December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019, if the market interest rate had increased/decreased by 100 bp with other variables held constant, the effects on profit before income tax and shareholders’ equity would be as follows: (In millions of Korean won) Fluctuation of interest rate Income before tax Shareholders’ equity 2017.12.31 + 100 bp ₩ 1,942 ₩ 4,868 - 100 bp (1,954 ) (5,198 ) 2018.12.31 + 100 bp ₩ 1,059 ₩ 9,689 - 100 bp (1,958 ) (10,237 ) 2019.12.31 + 100 bp ₩ 425 ₩ 14,764 - 100 bp (482 ) (19,280 ) The above analysis is a simple sensitivity analysis which assumes that all the variables other than market interest rates are held constant. Therefore, the analysis does not reflect any correlation between market interest rates and other variables, nor the management’s decision to decrease the risk. 2) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s trade receivables from customers, debt securities and others. - Risk management Credit risk is managed on the Group basis with the purpose of minimizing financial loss. Credit risk arises from the normal transactions and investing activities, where clients or other party fails to discharge an obligation on contract conditions. To manage credit risk, the Group considers the counterparty’s credit based on the counterparty’s financial conditions, default history and other important factors. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as outstanding receivables. To minimize such risk, only the financial institutions with strong credit ratings are accepted. The Group’s investments in debt instruments are considered to be low risk investments. The credit ratings of the investments are monitored for credit deterioration. - Security For some trade receivables, the Group may obtain security in the form of guarantees or letters of credit, etc. which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement. - Impairment of financial assets The Group has four types of financial assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model: • trade receivables for sales of goods and provision of services, • contract assets relating to provision of services, • debt investments carried at fair value through other comprehensive income, and • other financial assets carried at amortized cost. While cash equivalents are also subject to the impairment requirement, the identified impairment loss was immaterial. The maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group’s financial instruments without considering value of collaterals as at December 31, 2018 and 2019, are as follows: (In millions of Korean won) December 31, 2018 December 31, 2019 Cash and cash equivalents (except for cash on hand) ₩ 2,284,885 ₩ 2,226,608 Trade and other receivables Financial assets at amortized costs 5,425,996 5,784,228 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income 1,097,348 1,256,266 Contract assets 398,797 557,041 Other financial assets Derivatives financial assets for hedging 29,843 58,576 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 714,653 541,657 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income 6,909 7,086 Financial assets at amortized costs 484,271 441,804 Financial guarantee contracts 1 65,760 19,422 Total ₩ 10,508,462 ₩ 10,892,688 1 It is total amount guaranteed by the Group according to the guarantee contracts. (i) Trade receivables and contract assets The Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets. The Group measures the expected credit loss by considering the future irrecoverability rate of the remaining balance of trade receivables and other receivables at the end of the reporting period. Each trade receivables and other receivables are classified considering the credit risk characteristics and overdue periods in order to measure expected credit loss. The expected credit loss rate calculation is based on historical payment and credit loss information in relation to revenue for 36 months period up to December 31, 2019. (ii) Cash equivalents (except for cash on hand) The Group is also exposed to credit risk in relation to financial assets that are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The maximum exposure at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of these investments. (iii) Other financial assets at amortized costs Other financial assets at amortized cost include time deposits, other long-term financial instruments and others. All of the financial assets at amortized costs are considered to have low credit risk, and the loss allowance recognized during the period was, therefore, limited to 12 months expected losses. Management consider ‘low credit risk’ for other instruments when they have a low risk of default and the issuer has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. (iv) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include available-for-sale All of the debt investments at fair value through other comprehensive income are considered to have low credit risk, and the loss allowance recognized during the period was, therefore, limited to 12 months expected losses. Management consider ‘low credit risk’ for other instruments when they have a low risk of default and the issuer has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term. The Group is also exposed to credit risk in relation to financial assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The maximum exposure at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of these investments. (v) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss The Group is also exposed to credit risk in relation to financial assets that are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The maximum exposure at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of these investments. 3) Liquidity risk The Group manages its liquidity risk by liquidity strategy and plans. The Group considers the maturity of financial assets and financial liabilities and the estimated cash flows from operations. The table below analyzes the Group’s liabilities (including interest expenses) into relevant maturity groups based on the remaining period at the date of the end of each reporting period to the contractual maturity date. These amounts are contractual undiscounted cash flows and can differ from the amount in the consolidated financial statements.

Financial instruments that are measured at fair value are categorized by the fair value hierarchy, and the defined levels are as follows: • Level 1: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. • Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. • Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. Fair value hierarchy classifications of the financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value or its fair value is disclosed as at December 31, 2018 and 2019, are as follows: (In millions of Korean won) December 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Trade and other receivables Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income ₩ — ₩ 1,097,348 ₩ — ₩ 1,097,348 Other financial assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 121 613,964 163,600 777,685 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income 8,861 5,760 311,536 326,157 Derivative financial assets for hedging — 29,843 — 29,843 Disclosed fair value Investment properties — — 1,821,061 1,821,061 Total ₩ 8,982 ₩ 1,746,915 ₩ 2,296,197 ₩ 4,052,094 Liabilities Other financial liabilities Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss ₩ — ₩ — ₩ 7,758 ₩ 7,758 Derivative financial liabilities for hedging — 47,125 10,183 57,308 Total ₩ — ₩ 47,125 ₩ 17,941 ₩ 65,066 (In millions of Korean won) December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Trade and other receivables Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income ₩ — ₩ 1,256,266 ₩ — ₩ 1,256,266 Other financial assets Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 232 136,951 495,141 632,324 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income 6,738 508,550 42,054 557,342 Derivative financial assets for hedging — 40,788 17,788 58,576 Disclosed fair value Investment properties — — 2,304,583 2,304,583 Total ₩ 6,970 ₩ 1,942,555 ₩ 2,859,566 ₩ 4,809,091 Liabilities Other financial liabilities Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss ₩ — ₩ 38 ₩ — ₩ 38 Derivative financial liabilities for hedging — 20,096 — 20,096 Total ₩ — ₩ 20,134 ₩ — ₩ 20,134 37.3 Transfers Between Fair Value Hierarchy Levels of Recurring Fair Value Measurements There are no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy for the recurring fair value measurements.

External experts report directly to the chief financial officer (CFO), and discusses valuation processes and results with the CFO in line with the Group’s reporting dates. 37.6 Gains and losses on valuation at the transaction date In the case that the Group values derivative financial instruments using inputs not based on observable market data, and the fair value calculated by the said valuation technique differs from the transaction price, then the fair value of the financial instruments is recognized as the transaction price. The difference between the fair value at initial recognition and the transaction price is deferred and amortized using a straight-line method by maturity of the financial instruments. However, in the case that inputs of the valuation techniques become observable in markets, the remaining deferred difference is immediately recognized in full in profit for the year. In relation to this, details and changes of the total deferred difference for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, are as follows: 2018 2019 (In millions of Korean won) Derivatives used Derivative held Derivatives used Derivative held I.

Changes in Accounting Policies | 40. Changes in Accounting Policies As explained in Note 2.2, the Group has adopted IFRS 16, modified retrospectively, from January 1, 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2018 reporting period, as permitted under the specific transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are, therefore, recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position on January 1, 2019. On adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 3.49%. For leases previously classified as ‘finance leases’, the Group recognized the carrying amount of the lease asset and lease liability immediately before transition as the carrying amount of the right-of-use (1) Use of practical expedients In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group used the following the practical expedients permitted by the standard: • the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics • reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous • the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at January 1, 2019, as short-term leases • the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use • the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date, the Group relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease. (2) Measurement of lease liabilities (In millions of Korean won) 2019 Operating lease commitments as at December 31, 2018 1 ₩ 675,658 Discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate of at the date of initial application 643,375 Add: finance lease liabilities recognized as at December 31, 2018 163,858 Lease liability recognized as at January 1, 2019 ₩ 807,233 Of which are: Current lease liabilities ₩ 336,530 Non-current 470,703 ₩ 807,233 1 It excluded short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. (3) Measurement of right-of-use Right-of-use (4) Adjustments to the consolidated The change in accounting policy affected the following items in the consolidated statement of financial position on January 1, 2019: • property and equipment: decrease by ₩ • intangible assets: decrease by ₩ • right-of-use ₩ • investment properties: increase by ₩ • lease receivables: increase by ₩ • prepayments: decrease by ₩ • prepaid expenses: decrease by ₩ • other liabilities: increase by ₩ • lease liabilities: increase by ₩ • revenue: increase by ₩ The net impact on retained earnings on January 1, 2019, was a decrease of ₩ (5) Accounting for lessor The Group did not have to adjust the accounting for assets held by a lessor in accordance with IFRS 16. |

Basis of Preparation | 2.1 Basis of Preparation The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following: • Certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments), certain classes of property and equipment and investment property – measured at fair value • Assets held-for-sale • Defined benefit pension plans – plan assets measured at fair value The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3. |
Changes in Accounting Policy and Disclosures | 2.2 Changes in Accounting Policy and Disclosures (1) New and amended standards adopted by the Group The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2019. - Enactment of IFRS 16 Leases Under IFRS 16, with implementation of a single lease model, lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities for all lease which lease term is over 12 months and underlying assets are not low value assets. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use With implementation of IFRS 16 Lease - Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation The narrow-scope amendments made to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments - Amendments to IAS 9 Employee Benefits – Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement of the Plan The amendments require that an entity shall calculate current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement based on updated actuarial assumptions from the date of the change. The amendments also require that a reduction in a surplus must be recognized in profit or loss even if that surplus was not previously recognized because of the impact of the asset ceiling. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. - Amendments to IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures – Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures The amendments clarify that an entity shall apply IFRS 9 to financial instruments in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied. These include long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the entity’s net investment in an associate or joint venture. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. - Enactment to Interpretation of IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments The interpretation explains how to recognize and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a tax treatment, and includes guidance on how to determine whether each uncertain tax treatment is considered separately or together. It also presents examples of circumstances where a judgement or estimate is required to be reassessed. The enactment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. - Annual Improvements to IFRS 2015 – 2017 Cycle: • IFRS 3 Business Combination The amendments clarify that when a party to a joint arrangement obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, and had rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to that joint operation immediately before the acquisition date, the transaction is a business combination achieved in stages. In such cases, the acquirer shall remeasure its entire previously held interest in the joint operation. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. • IFRS 11 Joint Agreements The amendments clarify that when a party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation might obtain joint control of the joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business. In such cases, previously held interests in the joint operation are not re-measured. • Amendments to Paragraph 57A of IAS 12 Income Tax The amendment is applied to all the income tax consequences of dividends and requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equity according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or events. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. • IAS 23 Borrowing Costs The amendments clarify that if a specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related qualifying asset is ready for its intended use (or sale), it becomes part of general borrowings. The amendment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. (2) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group Certain new accounting standard and interpretation that have been published that are not mandatory for annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2019 and have not been early adopted by the Group are set out below. - Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors – Definition of Material The amendments clarify the explanation of the definition of material and amended IAS 1 and IAS 8 in accordance with the clarified definitions. Materiality is assessed by reference to omission or misstatement of material information as well as effects of immaterial information, and to the nature of the users when determining the information to be disclosed by the Group. These amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and earlier application is permitted. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. - Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combination – Definition of a Business To consider the integration of the required activities and assets as a business, the amended definition of a business requires an acquisition to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs and excludes economic benefits from the lower costs. An entity can apply an optional concentration test, in which substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar assets, and the assets acquired would not represent a business. These amendments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and earlier application is permitted. The Group does not expect that these amendments have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. - Agenda Resolution of the International Accounting Standards Commission – Lease Period The International Accounting Standards Commission (IFRS IC) announced on December 16, 2019 that all economic disadvantages resulting from the termination of a lease are taken into account when determining the enforceable period for ‘the useful life of lease term and lease asset improvement rights’. The Group is analyzing the effect of changes in accounting policies on the consolidated financial statements for enforceable periods in accordance with the decision and will reflect the effect in the consolidated financial statements after the analysis is completed. |
Consolidation | 2.3 Consolidation The Group has prepared the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities (“SPEs”)) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. The consideration transferred is measured at the fair values of the assets transferred, and identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling acquisition-by-acquisition non-controlling non-controlling The excess of consideration transferred, amount of any non-controlling Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. (2) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling (3) Disposal of subsidiaries When the Group ceases to consolidate for a subsidiary because of a loss of control, any retained interest in the subsidiary is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. (4) Associates Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but does not possess control or joint control. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognized at cost. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. If the Group’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate (including long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the Group’s interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. If there is an objective evidence of impairment for the investment in the associate, the Group recognizes the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its book amount as impairment loss. If an associate uses accounting policies other than those of the Group for transactions and events in similar circumstances, if necessary, adjustments shall be made to make the associate’s accounting policies conform to those of the Group when the associate’s financial statements are used by the Group in applying the equity method. (5) Joint arrangement A joint arrangement, wherein two or more parties have joint control, is classified as either a joint operation or a joint venture. A joint operator recognizes its direct right to the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations and its share of any jointly held or incurred assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. A joint venture has rights to the net assets relating to the joint venture and accounts for that investment using the equity method. |
Segment Reporting | 2.4 Segment Reporting Information of each operating segment is reported in a manner consistent with the business segment reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (Note 34). The chief operating decision-maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments. |
Foreign Currency Translation | 2.5 Foreign Currency Translation (1) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Parent Company’s functional and presentation currency. (2) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in profit or loss. They are deferred in other comprehensive income if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying effective portion of net investment hedges, or are attributable to monetary part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated statements of operations, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statements of operations within operating revenue or operating expenses. Non-monetary non-monetary non-monetary (3) Translation to the presentation currency The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: • assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period, • income and expenses for each consolidated statements of operations are translated at average exchange rates for the period, • equity is translated at the historical exchange rate, and • all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. |
Financial Assets | 2.6 Financial Assets The Group has applied IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, on January 1, 2018, the date of initial application. In accordance with the transitional provisions in IFRS 9, the Group recorded the cumulative effect as at the date of the initial application of the standards as an adjustment to the initial balance in the retained earnings . (1) Classification The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: • those to be measured at fair value through profit or loss • those to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and • those to be measured at amortized cost. The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For financial assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. The Group reclassifies debt investments when, and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income. Changes in fair value of the investments in equity instruments that are not accounted for as other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss. (2) Measurement At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss. Hybrid (combined) contracts with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest. A. Debt instruments Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Group classifies its debt instruments into one of the following three measurement categories: • Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in ‘finance income’ using the effective interest rate method. • Fair value through other comprehensive income: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment loss (and reversal of impairment loss), interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in ‘finance income’ using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in ‘finance income or finance costs’ and impairment loss in ‘finance costs or operating expenses’. • Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and presented net in the consolidated s operations B. Equity instruments The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as ‘finance income’ when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in ‘finance income or finance costs’ in the consolidated s operations (3) Impairment The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables and lease receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach, which requires expected lifetime credit losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables. (4) Recognition and Derecognition Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. If a transfer does not result in derecognition because the Group has retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred asset, the Group continues to recognize the transferred asset in its entirety and recognizes a financial liability for the consideration received. (5) Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of financial position where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counterparty. |
Derivative Instruments | 2.7 Derivative Instruments Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group has hedge relationships and designates certain derivatives as: • hedges of a particular risk associated with the cash flows of recognized assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges) At inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items. The fair values of derivative financial instruments designated in hedge relationships are disclosed in Note 37. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current non-derivative non-derivative non-current The effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity, and the ineffective portion is recognized in ‘finance income (costs)’. Amounts of changes in fair value of effective hedging instruments accumulated in equity are recognized as ‘finance income (costs)’ for the periods when the corresponding transactions affect profit or loss. When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold, terminated, exercised, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any accumulated cash flow hedge reserve at that time remains in equity until the forecast transaction occurs, resulting in the recognition of a non-financial |
Trade Receivables | 2.8 Trade Receivables Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognized at fair value. Trade receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. See Note 6 for further information about the Group’s accounting for trade receivables and Note 2.6 (3) for a description of the Group’s impairment policies. |
Inventories | 2.9 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the moving average method, except for inventories in-transit. |
Assets (or Disposal Group) Held-for-sale | 2.10 Assets (or Disposal Group) Held-for-sale Assets (or disposal group) are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use and when a sale is considered highly probable. The assets are measured at the lower amount between their carrying amount and the fair value less selling costs. |
Property and Equipment | 2.11 Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation of all property and equipment, except for land, is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives as follows: Estimated Useful Life Buildings 5 – 40 years Structures 5 – 40 years Machinery and equipment (Telecommunications equipment and others) 2 – 40 years Others Vehicles 4 – 6 years Tools 4 – 6 years Office equipment 2 – 6 years The depreciation method, residual values and useful lives of property and equipment are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and, if appropriate, accounted for as changes in accounting estimates. |
Investment Property | 2.12 Investment Property Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. An investment property is measured initially at its cost. After recognition as an asset, investment property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Investment property, except for land, is depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives from 10 to 40 years. |
Intangible Assets | 2.13 Intangible Assets (1) Goodwill Goodwill is measured as explained in Note 2.3 (1) and goodwill arising from acquisition of subsidiaries and business are included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of subsidiaries and business include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the subsidiaries and business sold. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the CGUs, or group of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level. Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying amount of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed. (2) Intangible assets except goodwill Intangible assets, except for goodwill, are initially recognized at its historical cost, and carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Membership rights (condominium membership and golf membership) that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization because there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the assets are expected to be utilized. The Group amortizes intangible assets with a limited useful life using the straight-line method over the following periods: Estimated Useful Life Development costs 5 – 6 years Software 6 years Industrial property rights 5 – 50 years Frequency usage rights 5 – 10 years Others 1 2 – 50 years 1 Membership rights (condominium membership and golf membership) and broadcast license included in others are classified as intangible assets with indefinite useful life. |
Borrowing Costs | 2.14 Borrowing Costs General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. |
Government Grants | 2.15 Government Grants Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants related to assets are presented in the statement of financial position by setting up the grant as deferred income that is recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset. Grants related to income are presented as a credit in the consolidated s operations |
Impairment of Non-Financial Assets | 2.16 Impairment of Non-Financial Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested at least annually for impairment at the end of each reporting period. If certain assets are deemed to be impaired, their recoverable amount is estimated in order to determine the impairment loss. The Group estimates the recoverable amount for each asset, and in cases when the recoverable amount cannot be estimated for an asset, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is estimated. Corporate assets are allocated to individual cash generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis and if they cannot be allocated to individual cash generating units, they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use). Impairment loss on non-financial |
Trade and other payables | 2.17 Trade and other payables These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of reporting period which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities, unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. |
Financial Liabilities | 2.18 Financial Liabilities (1) Classification and measurement The Group’s financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are financial instruments held for trading. A financial liability is held for trading if it is incurred principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments or derivatives separated from financial instruments containing embedded derivatives are also categorized as held for trading. All non-derivative • Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss • Financial guarantee contract • Financial liabilities arising when the transfer of financial assets does not meet the elimination conditions Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are displayed in the statement of financial position as ‘trade payables and other liabilities’, ‘borrowings’ and ‘other financial liabilities’. Preferred shares that require mandatory redemption at a particular date are classified as liabilities. Interest expenses on these preferred shares using the effective interest method are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as ‘finance costs’, together with interest expenses recognized from other financial liabilities. (2) Derecognition — Financial liabilities are removed from the statement of financial position when they are extinguished; for example, when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired or when the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially modified. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid (including any non-cash |
Financial Guarantee Contracts | 2.19 Financial Guarantee Contracts Financial guarantee contracts are recognized as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value, subsequently at the higher of following and recognized in the statement of financial position within ‘other financial liabilities’. • the amount determined in accordance with the expected credit loss model under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments • the amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers |
Employee Benefits | 2.20 Employee Benefits (1) Post-employment benefits The Group operates both defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses when an employee has rendered service. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Generally, post-employment benefits are payable after the completion of employment, and the benefit amount depended on the employee’s age, periods of service or salary levels. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at least annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service costs. (2) Termination benefits Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits or when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring. (3) Long-term employee benefits Certain entities within the Group provide long-term employee benefits that are entitled to employees with service period for ten years and above. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment using the same accounting methodology as used for defined benefit pension plans. The Group recognizes service cost, net interest on other long-term employee benefits and remeasurements as profit or loss for the year. These liabilities are valued at least annually by an independent qualified actuary. |
Share-based payments | 2.21 Share-based payments Equity-settled share-based payment is recognized at fair value of equity instruments granted, and employee benefit expense is recognized over the vesting period. At the end of each period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market |
Provisions | 2.22 Provisions Provisions for service warranties, recoveries, litigations and claims, and others are recognized when the Group presently hold legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, and the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense. |
Leases | 2.23 Leases As explained in “Note 2.2 (1)” above, the Group has changed its accounting policy for leases. The impact of the new accounting policies is disclosed in Note 40. As at December 31, 2018, leases of property and equipment where the Group, as lessee, had substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership were classified as finance leases. Finance leases were capitalized at the lease’s inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding lease payments, net of finance charges, were included in other short-term or long-term payables. Each lease payment was allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost was charged to profit or loss over the lease period in order as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Property and equipment acquired under finance leases were depreciated over the asset’s useful life, or over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term, if it was not reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership were not transferred to the Group as lessee were classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease period. (1) Lessee The Group leases various repeater server rack, offices, track facilities, machinery and cars. Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease non-lease non-lease Until the financial year of 2018, leases of property and equipment were classified as either finance or operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. From January 1, 2019, leases are recognized as a right-of-use Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: • Fixed payments (including in-substance • Variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date • Amounts expected to be payable by the Group (the lessee) under residual value guarantees • The exercise price of a purchase option if the Group (the lessee) is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and • Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group (the lessee) exercising that option Lease liability measurement also include payments to be made in option periods if the lessee is reasonably certain in exercising an option to extend the lease. The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, which is the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period in order to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Right-of-use • amount of the initial measurement of lease liability • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received • any initial direct costs (leasehold deposits) • restoration costs, and • present value discount on leasehold deposit The right-of-use of-use Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value Low-value (2) Lessor Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognized in income on a straight- line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognized as expense over the lease term on the same basis as lease income. The respective leased assets are included in the statement of financial position based on their nature. As a result of adopting the new lease standard, the Group applied the accounting for assets held as a lessor. |
Share Capital | 2.24 Share Capital The Group classifies ordinary shares as equity. Where the Controlling Company purchases its own shares, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, is deducted from equity until the share are cancelled or reissued. When these treasury shares are reissued, any consideration received is including in equity attributable to the equity holders of the Controlling Company. |
Revenue Recognition | 2.25 Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, which replaced IAS 18. This standard is applicable to years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Group adopted IFRS 15 modified retrospectively, with the cumulative effects of the initial application being recognized on the date of the initial application, on January 1, 2018. Accordingly, as provided for in this standard, the Group recorded the cumulative effect as at the date of the initial application of the standard as an adjustment to the initial balance in the retained earnings. In accordance with this transition method, the entity applied this pronouncement modified retrospectively only for contracts that are still in force as at the date of the initial application. (1) Identification of contracts The Group performed a comprehensive review of the commercial offers in force, in order to identify the principal contractual clauses and other contractual elements that may be significant regarding the adoption of the new accounting standard. (2) Identifying performance obligations With the application of IFRS 15, the Group identifies performance obligations with a customer such as Mobile and fixed-line service, Media and content services, financial services and sale of goods. Accordingly, the Group will recognize revenue when, or to the extent that, it satisfies the performance obligations by transferring the goods or services that were promised to the customer. Mobile and fixed-line service Telecommunication service revenues include mobile and fixed-line(e.g., fixed-line and VoIP telephone, broadband internet access services and data communication services). These services represent a series of distinct services that are considered a separate performance obligations. Service revenue is recognized when services are provided, based upon either usage (e.g., minutes of traffic/bytes of data processed) or period of time (e.g., monthly service fees). Media and content services Revenue from media and content services primarily consists of installation fees and basic monthly charges of IPTV and satellite TV services, as well as revenue from digital content distribution, digital music streaming and downloading. Media and contents services revenue are recognized when services are provided, based upon either usage or period of time. Financial services Financial services primarily include commissions for merchant fees paid by merchants to credit card companies for processing transactions. Revenue from the commission is recognized when the service obligation is performed. Sale of goods Revenue from sale of goods, primarily handsets related to our mobile services is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring promised goods to customers. (3) Allocation the transaction price and Revenue recognition With the application of IFRS 15, the Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on a relative stand-alone selling prices of the goods or services being provided to the customer. The Group verified the existence of two main performance obligations: (i) telecommunication services; and (ii) selling handsets. To allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone price basis, the Group determines the stand-alone selling price at contract inception of the distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation in the contract and allocate the transaction price in proportion to those stand-alone selling price. The standalone selling price is the price at which the Group would sell a promised good or service separately to the customer. The best evidence of a stand-alone selling price is the observable price of a good or service when the Group sells that good or service separately in similar circumstances and to similar customers. The Group recognizes the allocated amount as contract assets or contract liabilities, and amortizes it through the remaining period which is adjusted in operating profit. The adoption of the new revenue standard in some cases resulted in the early recognition of revenue from the sale of handsets, which are usually recognized upon the transfer of control to the customer, due to the allocation of discounts between the performance obligations arising from the sale of plans that include mobile services as well as handsets. The difference between the carrying value of sales of handsets, and the amount received from the customer is recorded as a contractual asset and/or liability at the beginning of the contract. Revenue from telecommunication services, in turn, will be recognized in the statement of income based on the allocation of the transaction price, and to the extent that services are being provided to customers in monthly basis. (4) Incremental contract acquisition costs The Group pays the commission fees to authorized dealers when new customer subscribe for telecommunication services. The incremental contract acquisition costs are those commission fees that the Group incurs to acquire a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been acquired. According to IFRS 15, the Group recognizes as an asset the incremental contract acquisition costs and amortize it over the expected period of benefit. However, as a practical expedient, the Group may recognize the incremental contract acquisition costs as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset is one year or less. |
Current and Deferred Income Tax | 2.26 Current and Deferred Income Tax The tax expense for the period consists of current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The tax expense is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the taxation authorities, using the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates tax policies that are applied in tax returns in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. The Group recognizes current income tax on the basis of the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable that future taxable amount will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses. The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint arrangements, except to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, The Group recognizes a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising from such investments to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. The Group adopts the consolidated corporate tax return and calculates income tax expenses and income tax liabilities of the Group based on systematic and reasonable methods. |
Dividend | 2.27 Dividend Dividend distribution to the Group’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Group’s shareholders. |
Approval of the Consolidated Financial Statements | 2.28 Approval of the Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements for 2019 were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on April 28, 2020. |

A terminal growth rate of 1.0% was applied for the cash flows expected to be incurred after five years. This growth rate does not exceed the average growth rate of the industry which the cash-generating unit belongs in. The Group estimated its revenue growth rate 5.74% based on past performance and its expectation of future market changes. In addition, management estimated the cash flow based on past performance and its expectation of market growth, and the discount rates 6.87% used reflected specific risks relating to the relevant CGUs. As a result of the impairment test, the Group concluded that the carrying amount of CGU does not exceed the recoverable amount. Accordingly, the Group did not recognize an impairment loss on goodwill on KT Telecop Co., Ltd. for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019. | |
