Analysis · SHG · Finance

The Group reported mixed consolidated financial results, with operating profit increasing by W 66,906 million to W 791,988 million, but profit for the period decreased by W 20,693 million to W 507,708 million. Total equity saw a substantial decrease of W 834,303 million, primarily due to annual dividend payments, changes in discount rate assumptions, and other regulatory effects. A significant accounting policy change was also implemented, discontinuing a prior 'accounting departure' for participating insurance contracts to fully comply with K-IFRS No. 1117. This change was applied retrospectively, resulting in a W 362 million decrease in liabilities and equity for 2024, and a W 1,025 million decrease for the January 1, 2024, opening balance. These financial statements are still subject to shareholder approval.
