Samsung Electronics Business Report 33 / 396
5. Risk management and derivative trading
A. Financial risk management policy
The Company focuses on minimizing market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk arising from operating activities. To mitigate
these risks, the Company monitors each risk factor and operates corresponding financial risk management policies and
programs.

The Company manages financial risks by establishing global financial risk management policies and periodically assessing
risks associated with our customers and business partners; and via monitoring foreign exchange hedging and balance of
funds.

Meanwhile, the Company manages exchange rate risk via monitoring exchange rates and executing transactions through
local finance centers in each major region (United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, China, Brazil, and Russia). Liquidity
risk is managed by managing capital as a whole by each region.

The Company’s assets that are under financial risk management consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial
instruments, financial assets at amortized cost, trade receivables and others. The Company’s liabilities under financial risk
management consist of trade payables, borrowings, and others.

B. Major financial risks


(1) Market risk

(Foreign exchange risk)


The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risks as it conducts transactions in currencies
other than the functional currency. Major currencies that are exposed to foreign exchange risk include USD, EUR, and
others.

The Company focuses on minimizing the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation by maintaining an equal amount of assets
and liabilities denominated in each foreign currency. To minimize foreign exchange positions, the Company’s foreign
exchange management policy requires transactions for normal business (including imports and exports) and for financing
(such as deposits/borrowings) to be in the functional currency or for the cash-in currency to match the cash-out currency. If
foreign exchange positions arise, the Company uses bond sales, forward exchanges, etc., to mitigate impacts of exchange-
rate fluctuations. While such measures can reduce foreign exchange risk, they cannot remove the risk entirely. The Company
efficiently manages foreign exchange risk through regular monitoring and assessments, and speculative foreign exchange
transactions are strictly forbidden.

The impacts of a 5% change in currency rates on the profits or losses (before income tax) arising from financial assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than functional currency as of the reporting date are as follows:

(KRW mil)

Increase Decrease Increase Decrease

EUR 151,740 -151,740 92,546 -92,546

Samsung Electronics Business Report 34 / 396


(Interest rate risk)
Interest rate risk arises from changes in the market interest rate and subsequent fluctuations in cash flows from interest
income and expenses from investment and financial activities, mainly in deposits and variable-rate borrowings. The
Company employs internal fund sharing to minimize external borrowings and minimize financial costs and uncertainties
associated with interest rate changes.

The impacts of a 1%pt change in interest rates on profit or loss (before income tax) arising from floating-rate financial
assets and liabilities as of the reporting date are as follows:

(KRW mil)

Financial liabilities -6,197 6,197 -8,427 8,427
Net effect 204,420 -204,420 64,323 -64,323

(Stock price risk)


The Company’s investment portfolio consists of direct and indirect investments in equity securities classified as financial
assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which is in
line with the Company’s strategy.

As of December 31, 2023, a price fluctuation of marketable equity securities (listed stocks) of 1% changes ‘other
comprehensive income’ (before income tax) by KRW 52,510 million and ‘profit before tax’ by KRW 3,472 million. The
figures as of the same date in 2022 were KRW 92,073 million and KRW 3,144 million, respectively.

(2) Credit risk

Credit risk arises during the normal course of transactions and investing activities where clients or other parties fail to
discharge an obligation. The Company sets and manages the client’s and counterparty’s credit limit, and evaluates their
financial credit rating on a periodic basis based on the client’s and counterparty’s financial conditions, default history and
other important factors. Adequate insurance coverage is maintained for trade receivables related to trading partners situated
in higher risk countries.

Credit risk can arise from transactions with financial institutions, which include financial instrument transactions such as
cash and cash equivalents, savings, and derivative instruments. To minimize such risk, the Company transacts only with
banks that have a strong international credit rating (S&P A and above), and all new transactions with financial institutions
with no prior transaction history are carried out after a soundness evaluation, etc. The Company generally enters into a
financial agreement with no restrictions, such as debt ratio covenants, provision of collateral, and loans or borrowings
repayment. The Company requires separate approval for contracts with restrictions.

The Company estimates that its maximum exposure to credit risk is equivalent to the carrying amount of its financial assets,
which has been reflected after deducting the impairment losses.

(3) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the possibility of a company having difficulties in fulfilling its obligations related to financial
liabilities. Our main sources of liquidity are cash generated by business operations and funds procured from capital market
Samsung Electronics Business Report 35 / 396
and financial institutions. The main demands on our liquidity include investment for production and R&D, working capital,
and dividend payouts.
The nature of our business requires making large investments, so maintaining an adequate liquidity is crucial. We maintain
and manage our liquidity by estimating required cash, managing income and expenses, etc.

The Company effectively manages its liquidity risk by periodically forecasting projected cash flows and by utilizing regional
cash pooling, which allows for the use of internal funds when an entity in a region lacks liquidity. The cash-pooling program
allows sharing of surplus funds among entities and contributes to minimizing liquidity risk and reducing capital operation
expenses and financial expenses.

In addition, the Company’s headquarters provides payment guarantees to overseas subsidiaries to secure credit limit to brace
for potential large liquidity needs. As of end-2023, our investment ratings from international rating agencies Moody’s and
S&P are Aa2 and AA-, respectively, allowing us to raise capital in the capital market in a timely manner.

The following table is an undiscounted cash flow analysis for financial liabilities according to their remaining contractual
maturity from the end of the reporting date to the contractual maturity date.

(4) Capital risk

The purpose of capital management is to protect our capability of continuously providing profit to our shareholders and
stakeholders and to maintain a sound capital structure. To this end, the Company monitors capital on the basis of credit
rating and the ratio of total liabilities to total equity.

As of December 31, 2023, the figures for total liabilities and total equity are as follows:

C. Derivative instruments and put options
The Company hedges foreign currency positions by trading currency forward contracts of currencies other than won for the
purpose of managing foreign exchange risk. Currency forwards are bought through a bank in the purpose of trade and
hedging.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had 2,757 currency forward contracts involving 35 foreign currencies, such as
USD,EUR, and JPY, and the book value of assets and liabilities as well as related gain and loss were as follows:

[DS Division]
 Industry overview
In general, our Semiconductor business is divided into Memory (storage) and System LSI (logical processing). Memory
semiconductor is divided into RAM products (random access memory, ones that can be both written on and read) and ROM
products (read only memory).

RAM is called volatile memory as the information is deleted when the power is turned off. It is used for temporary loading
and storage of application programs. ROM is nonvolatile and holds memory even when power is removed; it is used in
input/output system, IC cards, and more.

For System LSI products, there are many categories for various applications. SoCs for mobile devices that are equipped
with CPUs, GPUs, ISPs (image signal processors), and modems are our major products. The Company manufactures mobile
APs for smartphones and tablets, and image sensors.

The Foundry Business makes customized semiconductors for fabless companies based on customer designs. The business
resembles OEMs in the traditional manufacturing industry in the sense that companies consign the manufacturing of their
products to fabrication plants, also called foundries or fabs. Many integrated device manufacturers have transitioned to
fabless players due to the advancement of semiconductor processing technologies and an increased investment burden.
Consequently, only a few companies (approximately five) with large capex dominate the overall foundry market.

2. Material Accounting Policies

The followings are material accounting policies applied on financial statements. Unless mentioned otherwise, these policies
are consistent throughout the accounting periods denoted.

2.1 Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been written in accordance with the Korean International Financial Reporting Standards
(“Korean IFRS”). The Korean IFRS refers to standards selected by the Republic of Korea among accounting standards and
interpretations published by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The Korean IFRS permits application of material accounting estimates on the financial statements and requires management’s
judgements in applying accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where
assumptions and estimates are material to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

2.2 Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures

(A) New and amended standards adopted by the Company

The Company applied the following amended standards for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing on January 1,
2023:

Samsung Electronics Business Report 75 / 396


Amendments to Korean IFRS 1001, Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendments replace the term ‘significant’ accounting policy information with ‘material’ accounting policy and clarify its
meaning. These amendments do not result in a change in accounting policy but affects the accounting policy information disclosed
in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality Judgments has been amended to
provide guidance on the application of the concept of materiality. The Company has adopted the amendments to the standard and
discloses the Company’s material accounting policies in Note 2.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1008, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors
The amendments clarify how accounting estimates are defined and distinguished from changes in accounting policies. The adoption
of the amendments does not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1012, Income Tax


The amendments add to a condition to the initial recognition exemption that the initial recognition exemption does not apply to
transactions in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition. The adoption of the
amendments does not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1012, Income Tax


The amendments clarify that Korean IFRS 1012, Income Taxes, applies to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively
enacted to implement the Pillar Two Model Rules issued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
However, a temporary exemption from the requirements of Korean IFRS 1012, Income Taxes, has been adopted to allow the Company
to neither recognize nor disclose deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to Pillar Two income taxes.

(B) New and amended standards not yet adopted by the Company

The amended accounting standards that have been issued but not yet effective for the annual reporting period commencing on January
1, 2023 which have not been early adopted by the Company are as follows:

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1001, Presentation of Financial Statements


The amendments to Korean-IFRS 1001 clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights
that are in existence at the end of the reporting period and that the classification is unaffected by management’s intentions or
expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. The amendments also introduce a definition
of settlement to make clear that settlement includes the transfer to the counterparty of the entity's own equity instruments, however,
it would be excluded if an option to settle the liability by the transfer of the entity’s own equity instruments is recognized separately
from the liability as an equity component of a compound financial instrument. The amendments are applied for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1116, Leases


The amendments add requirements for the subsequent measurement of sale-and-leaseback transactions that are accounted for as sales
in accordance with Korean IFRS 1115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments require the seller-lessee to calculate
the ‘lease payments’ or ‘revised lease payments’ in a way that does not result in the seller-lessee recognizing any gain or loss for the
rights of use that the seller-lessee continues to retain after the lease commences. The amendments are effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1007, Statement of Cash Flows, and 1107, Financial Instruments: Presentation
The amendments add to the disclosure objectives in Korean IFRS 1007, Statement of Cash Flows, that information about supplier
financing arrangements should be disclosed to enable users of financial statements to assess the impact of those arrangements on the
Company’s liabilities and cash flows. The amendments also amend Korean IFRS 1107, Financial Instruments: Presentation, to add
Samsung Electronics Business Report 76 / 396
supplier financing arrangements as an example of a requirement to disclose information about an entity’s exposure to concentrations
of liquidity risk.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and include specific transitional
provisions for the first annual period in which they are applied. Early application is permitted.

2.3 Consolidation

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with Korean IFRS 1110, Consolidated Financial
Statements.

(A) Non-controlling interests


Each component of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is attributable to the owners of the parent and the non-controlling
interests, and total comprehensive income is attributable to the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interests, even if the non-
controlling interests have a negative balance.

(B) Elimination of intercompany transactions


Intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses and unrealized gains and losses (excluding foreign exchange gains and
losses) are eliminated on consolidation. The Company’s share of unrealized losses on transactions with associates accounted for using
the equity method are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains unless there is evidence of impairment of the asset.

2.4 Functional and Presentation Currency

(A) Functional and presentation currency


The Company measures the items included in the financial statements of each component using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which each it operates (“functional currency”). The functional currency of the parent company is Korean won (KRW)
and the consolidated financial statements are presented in Korean won (KRW).

(B) Translation into the presentation currency


The results and financial position of all entities subjected to consolidation that have a functional currency different from the parent’s
presentation currency are translated into the parent’s presentation currency as follows:

(1) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting date.
(2) Income and expenses in the statement of profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates for the period.
However, if this average rate is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the exchange rates at the dates of
the transactions, the transactions are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of transactions.

(3) Exchange differences arising on translation in (1) and (2) above are recognized in other comprehensive income.

2.5 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and highly liquid short-term investment assets that
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash at the date of acquisition and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 77 / 396


2.6 Financial Assets

(A) Classification
Financial instruments are classified based on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the financial asset. The Company considers the contractual terms of the relevant financial instrument and assesses
whether the contractual cash flows consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(B) Impairment
The Company assesses the expected credit losses of debt instruments carried at amortized cost or fair value through other
comprehensive income on a forward-looking basis. However, the Company applies the simplified approach for trade receivables,
which requires expected credit losses to be recognized over the life of the receivable from initial recognition.

2.7 Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognized at initial transaction price, unless they contain a significant financing component, and are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment.

2.8 Inventories

The Company determines the unit cost of inventories, except for materials in transit, using the average cost method. The cost of
finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads based
on normal operating capacity, excluding the cost of idle production equipment and scrapping costs.

The Company measures inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in
the ordinary course of business less the applicable variable selling expenses, and reflects the decrease in selling price, the increase in
costs to completion, or decrease in value due to excess or obsolete inventory.

2.9 Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment begins when assets are considered by management to be available for their intended
use, such as in the production of products.

The Company’s property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
less any residual values. Land is not depreciated. Costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of a qualifying
asset, including capitalized interest costs, are depreciated over the estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment used by the Company for each asset category are as follows:

Estimated useful lives


Buildings and structures 15, 30 years
Machinery and equipment 5 years
Other 5 years

Samsung Electronics Business Report 78 / 396


2.10 Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the identifiable net assets of subsidiaries, associates
and joint ventures, businesses and other entities acquired at the date of acquisition and is recognized as an intangible assets in respect
of acquisitions of businesses of subsidiaries and as an investment in associates and joint ventures in respect of acquisitions of interests
in associates and joint ventures.

Intangible assets, other than goodwill, are initially recognized at their historical cost and are subsequently stated at cost less
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

Membership rights are regarded as intangible assets with indefinite useful life and not amortized as there are no foreseeable restrictions
on their use. However, whenever there is an indication of impairment, such as a decline in the market value of membership rights, a
reasonable estimate is made to reflect the impairment. Intangible assets with finite useful lives, such as patents, trademarks and other
intangible assets, are amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets used by the Company are as follows:

Estimated useful lives


Patents, trademarks and other intangible assets 3 - 25 years

2.11 Financial Liabilities

The Company classifies financial liabilities into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities
and recognizes them on the consolidated statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to a contract, depending
on the substance of the contractual terms.

2.12 Employee Benefits

The Company operates various types of post-employment benefit plans, including defined benefit plans and defined contribution
plans. The defined benefit liability (asset) recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit
plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of plan assets, less any deficit (excess
of plan assets over the asset recognition threshold) and is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit
method.

2.13 Income Tax Expense

The Company applies the exemption to the recognition and disclosure of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the Pillar Two
Model Rules of OECD. Furthermore, as the relevant legislation will be effective from January 1, 2024, the Company has not
recognized any current tax expense related to Pillar Two in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and joint ventures, except where the Company 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. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible
Samsung Electronics Business Report 79 / 396
temporary differences arising on these assets only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the
foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

2.14 Derivative Instruments

The Company recognizes its rights and obligations under derivative contracts as assets and liabilities at fair value and records gains
and losses on these contracts in the statement of profit or loss. However, effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow
hedges are deferred in equity.

The Company applies cash flow hedge accounting for hedges of risks including changes in the price of inventories. The effective
portion of the change in fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recognized in other comprehensive income,
while the ineffective portion is recognized in ‘financial income’ or ‘financial expense’.

2.15 Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue primarily represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods in the
ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Revenue is net of value-added tax, returns, sales incentives, discounts and others.

(A) Identification of performance obligations


The Company is required to transfer control of goods and services under contracts with customers. For the export of products and
goods under Incoterms Group C terms (such as CIF), the Company recognize the transportation services (including insurance)
provided after the control of the goods has passed to the customer as a separate performance obligation.

(B) Performance obligations satisfied at a point of time


The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the sale of goods and is recognized when control of the goods passes to the customer.

(C) Performance obligations satisfied over time


The Company recognizes revenue over time for sales of software, transportation services, installation services, and etc. where the
customer has direct control over the outcome during the performance of the service.

(D) Variable consideration


The Company provides a variety of sales promotions including incentives, promotion and sales allowances. Where these sales
promotion policies result in variability in the consideration promised to customers, the Company estimates the variable consideration
using either the expected value or the most likely amount whichever method the Company expects to better predict the amount of
consideration to which it will be entitled. The estimate of variable consideration is included in transaction price only to the extent that
it is highly probable that a significant portion of the cumulative revenue already recognized will not be reversed. Revenue and contract
liabilities are recognized when the related revenue is earned or when the decision to pay the variable consideration to the customer is
made, whichever is later.

The Company recognizes contract liabilities (refund liabilities) after the sale of products to customers by estimating the return rate
using the expected value methods based on historical experience. When the customer exercises its right to return the product, the
Company recognizes the asset as a refund asset and adjusts cost of sales by the amount of the right to collect the product from the
customer. The right to collect the product is measured by deducting the cost of collecting the product from the historical carrying
amount of the product.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 80 / 396


2.16 Leases

(A) Lessee accounting


The Company applies the practical expedient of Korean IFRS 1116, Leases, and does not separate the non-lease elements from the
lease elements and accounts for the non-lease elements relating to each lease element as a single lease element.

At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (the lease asset) representing the right to use the
underlying asset and a lease liability representing the obligation to make lease payments. The right-of-use asset is presented in the
consolidated statement of financial position as ‘property, plant and equipment’ and the lease liability is presented as ‘current portion
of long-term liabilities’ or ‘long-term borrowings.’

Lease liabilities are measured at the inception of the lease at the present value of the lease payments outstanding at that date, discounted
at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

For short-term leases (lease terms of 12 months or less at the inception of the lease) and low value assets (underlying assets of USD
5,000 or less), lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term applying the simplified practical
expedient.

(B) Lessor accounting


The Company, as a lessor, determines whether a lease is a finance or an operating lease at the inception of the lease.

Leases that transfer substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the leased assets are classified as finance leases and all
leases other than finance leases are classified as operating leases. Lease income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term, while initial direct costs incurred during the negotiation and contracting phase of an operating lease are
added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and expensed over the lease term against the lease income.

2.17 Government Grants

Government grants relating to revenues are deferred and recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the same period
in which they are matched with revenues or expenses related to the purpose for which the grant was made. Government grants received
related to the acquisition of assets are treated as deferred income and credited to the consolidated statement of profit or loss over the
useful lives of the related assets.

2.18 Convenience Translation into United States Dollar Amounts

The US dollar amounts provided in the consolidated financial statements represent supplementary information solely for the
convenience of the reader. All Korean won amounts are expressed in US dollar at the rate of W 1,306.1 to $1, the average exchange
rate for the year ended December 31, 2023. Such presentation is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
should not be construed as a representation that the Korean won amounts shown could be readily converted, realized or settled in US
dollars at this or any other rate.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 81 / 396


2.19 Approval of the Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements of the Company were approved by the Board of Directors on January 31, 2024, and may be
approved as amended at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings.

3. Material Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and
are based on historical experience and future events that are reasonably foreseeable under the circumstances. These estimates may
differ from actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have the most significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are as follows.

(A) Revenue recognition


The Company recognizes a liability for a product return and a right to the returned goods that are expected to be returned by customers
following the sale of products to customers. At the point of sale, the Company estimates the return using the expected value method
based on accumulated experience at the portfolio level and the Company’s revenue is affected by changes in the expected return.

Revenue from the sale of goods recognized at the point of transfer of control is the contractual consideration less consideration paid
to customers in relation to certain sales promotion activities. Based on the historical experience and terms of contracts, the Company
makes reasonable estimates of the sales deductions which affect the Company’s revenue

(B) Provision for warranty


The Company provides warranties for products sold. At the end of each reporting period, the Company recognizes a provision for
warranties based on its best estimate of the amount it believes is necessary to provide for future and current warranty obligations.
These best estimates are based on historical experience.

(C) Fair value of financial instruments


The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using various valuation techniques and
assumptions based on market conditions prevailing at the end of each reporting period.

(D) Impairment of financial assets


In measuring the allowance for impairment losses on financial assets, the Company make assumptions about the risk of default and
expected credit rates. In making these assumptions and selecting the inputs for the impairment calculations, the Company makes
judgment based on past experience and current and forecast of future economic conditions at the reporting date.

(E) Lease
In determining the lease term, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances that provide an economic incentive to
exercise a renewal option, or not to exercise a termination option. The period covered by the renewal option (or the period covered
by the termination option) is included in the lease term only if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise (or not exercise)
the renewal option.

The lease term is reassessed when the option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or when the Company becomes committed to
exercise (or not exercise) the option. The Company only changes its assessment of whether it is reasonably certain the renewal option
will be exercised (or not) if there is a significant event or change in circumstances within the lessee’s control that affects the calculation
of the lease term.

(F) Net defined benefit liabilities (assets)
The net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are dependent on a number of factors which are determined using actuarial methods based
on a number of assumptions. Among the assumptions used to determine the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) is the discount rate,
and changes in these assumptions will affect the carrying amount of the net defined benefit liability (asset). At the end of each year
the Company determines an appropriate discount rate, taking into account the interest rates on high-quality corporate bonds, which
represents the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be
required to settle the net defined benefit liability (asset). Some key assumptions relating to the net defined benefit liability (asset) are
based on current market conditions.

(G) Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful life
The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life for impairment annually. The recoverable amount of a
cash-generating unit or asset, including goodwill, is determined based on a value-in-use calculation. These calculations are based on
estimates.

(H) Income taxes


Income taxes on the Company’s taxable income are calculated by applying tax laws and decisions of tax authorities in various
countries, and, therefore, there is uncertainty in determining the final tax effect. The Company has recognized current and deferred
tax based on its best estimate of the tax consequences expected to be payable in future periods as a result of the Company’s operating
activities up to the reporting date. However, the actual future final tax liability may not be consistent with the related assets and
liabilities recognized, and such differences may affect the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities when the final tax effect is
determined.

The Company is subject to additional income taxes, calculated in accordance with the method prescribed by tax laws, when a certain
amount is not used for investment, wage growth, etcetera, in a given period. The related tax effect is reflected in the measurement of
current and deferred income taxes for the period, and the amount of income tax payable by the Company depends on the level of
investment, wage growth, etcetera in each year, resulting in uncertainty in determining the final tax effects.

The Company assesses uncertainty over its tax positions and, if the Company concludes that it is not probably that the tax authorities
will accept a uncertain tax position, the effect of the uncertainty is recognized in the consolidated financial statements for each
uncertain tax position using the method that is expected to provide a better estimate of the resolution of the uncertainty, which is more
likely of the following methods.

(1) Most likely amount: the single most probable amount within a range of possible outcomes.
(2) Expected value: the sum of the probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible outcomes.

5. Transfer of Financial Assets

The Company discounted trade receivables through factoring arrangements with banks during the years ended December 31, 2023
and 2022. Trade receivables provided as collaterals in factoring transactions have not been derecognized as they do not meet the
requirements for derecognition of financial assets as the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards, including the recourse
in the event of default by the debtor. Financial liabilities recognized in these transactions are classified as ‘short-term borrowings’ on
the consolidated statement of financial position (refer to Note 12).

The carrying amount of the discounted trade receivables and the associated liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as

(G) Other matters

On July 12, 2018, the Korea Securities and Futures Commission determined an initial measure following an investigation relating to
Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd., an associate of the Company, and its accounting for its investment in Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd, a
joint venture between Biogen Therapeutics Inc. and Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd. This measure included a recommendation to
dismiss the director in charge, prosecution charges, and external auditor designation by the regulator, on the basis that the Joint
Venture Agreement was not disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. On November 14, 2018, the Korea Securities and
Futures Commission determined a second measure which included a penalty of W 8,000 million, a recommendation to dismiss the
CEO, a requirement to restate its financial statements, and further prosecution charges.

To prove justification of its accounting treatment, Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd. filed a suit for cancellation of the aforementioned
measures to the Seoul Administrative Court, which is currently in progress. On September 24, 2021, the Seoul Administrative Court
announced a decision to cancel the first measure charged by the Korea Securities and Futures Commission, and suspended its
execution until the final rulings of the appeal. On October 16, 2021, the Korea Securities and Futures Commission appealed and the
litigation is in progress at Seoul High Court. Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd. also filed for suspending the execution of the initial and
second measures. On January 22, 2019 and February 19, 2019, the Seoul Administrative Court pronounced decisions to suspend the
second and initial measure, respectively, until the final rulings. The Korea Securities and Futures Commission immediately appealed
against the decisions but the appeals were dismissed by the Seoul High Court on May 13, 2019 and May 24, 2019, in relation to the
second and first measures, respectively. On May 23, 2019 and June 10, 2019, the Korea Securities and Futures Commission re-
appealed against the dismissals relating to the second and first measures, respectively. On September 6, 2019 and October 11, 2019,
the Supreme Court of Korea dismissed the Korea Securities and Futures Commission’s re-appeal relating to the second and first
measures, respectively, and confirmed the decision to suspend the execution of these measures.

Although the future outcome of the administrative litigation cannot be estimated, should Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd. be required to
restate its financial statements to amend its historical accounting treatment relating to its investment in Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd.,
the Company’s share of profit or loss relating to its equity method investment, the amount of investment in associates, and retained
earnings, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and onwards, and the profit on disposal of investment for the year ended December
31, 2016, may be impacted. Given the timing of completion and the final result of the administrative litigation between Samsung
Biologics Co., Ltd. and the Korea Securities and Futures Commission is uncertain and cannot currently be estimated, it is not possible
for the Company to recognize the effects of these proceedings in the current period consolidated financial statements.

annual taxable losses and tax credits that can be utilized in each accounting period. However, the following temporary differences
have not been recognized for tax purposes as it is not probable that they will be realized in the future as of December 31, 2023 and
2022 are as follows:

(E) Global minimum top-up tax

The global minimum top-up is a system under which multinational companies with consolidated revenue of €750 million
or more in at least two of the four preceding financial years are required to pay a substantial amount of tax to the tax
authorities of the country in which the parent company resides if their effective tax rate in those countries is less than 15%.

The Republic of Korea, where the parent company is domiciled, enacted the Global Minimum Tax Act in 2023, which
requires the application of the Global Minimum Tax for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

The Company believes that it will be subject to the Global Minimum Tax Act, but as the Global Minimum Tax Act will be
effective in the Republic of Korea from January 1, 2024, there is no impact on the Company's current income tax expense.
In addition, the Company has applied the temporary exemption for deferred taxes under Korean IFRS 1012 and has not
recognized any deferred tax assets or liabilities related to the global minimum tax law and has not disclosed any deferred
tax information.

As the legislation in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries are located that are primarily affected by the global
minimum top-up tax legislation has not been enacted or specific legislation is in the process of being enacted, it is not
possible to reasonably estimate the impact on the Company as at December 31, 2023. Each of the Company’s subsidiaries
is reviewing the impact on its financial statements with tax experts in each country.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 119 / 396
28. Financial Risk Management

The Company manages its financial risks with a focus on minimizing market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and others arising from
its operating activities. To this end, the Company closely monitors and responds to each risk factor.

The Company establishes global financial management standards and manages the risks by periodically measuring customer’s and
counterparties’ financial risk, applying currency hedges, and reviewing cash flows.

The Company also manages foreign exchange risk by monitoring foreign exchange rate fluctuations through local financial centers
in the major regions (United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, China, Brazil, and Russia), which act as an agent for the subsidiaries
in each region to manage foreign exchange transactions. In addition, local finance centers in the major regions respond to liquidity
risk through a regionally integrated financial structure.

The Company’s financial assets subject to financial risk management consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial
instruments, financial assets at amortized cost, trade receivables and others, while its financial liabilities consist of trade payables,
borrowings, and others.

(A) Market risk

(1) Foreign exchange risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from its global operations through transactions in currencies other than its
functional currency. The main currencies in which the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk are the US dollar and European
Euro.

The Company focuses on minimizing the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation by matching levels of assets and liabilities
denominated in each foreign currency. To minimize exchange position, the Company’s foreign exchange management policy
requires normal business transactions, including import and export, as well as financing transactions such as depositing and
borrowing, to be in local currency or match as closely as possible cash inflows and outflows incurred in the respective foreign
currencies. This reduces but does not eliminate the foreign exchange risk to which the Company is exposed. Moreover, the
Company periodically evaluates and monitors the foreign exchange risk to efficiently mitigate such risk, and the speculative foreign
exchange transactions are strictly prohibited.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the impact on profit or loss (before tax) of a 5% change in exchange rates on the Company’s
financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a major foreign currency other than the functional currency would be as
follows:

December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022


(In millions of Korean won) Increase Decrease Increase Decrease

USD 418,776 (418,776) 258,655 (258,655)


EUR 151,740 (151,740) 92,546 (92,546)

Samsung Electronics Business Report 120 / 396


(2) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk for floating interest rate financial instruments can be defined as the risk of changes in the fair value of components
of the statements of financial position due to changes in the market interest rates, and the risk of changes in the future cash flows
of interest income and expenses arising from investing and financing activities. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises
primarily from interest-bearing deposits and floating interest rate debt obligations, and the Company manages its exposure to
interest rate risk to minimize uncertainty and cost of financing resulting from changes in interest rates.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the effect on profit or loss before tax of a 1%p change in interest rates on the Company’s
variable rate financial assets and liabilities at the reporting date would have been as follows:

December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022


(In millions of Korean won) Increase Decrease Increase Decrease

Financial assets 210,617 (210,617) 72,750 (72,750)


Financial liabilities (6,197) 6,197 (8,427) 8,427
Net effect 204,420 (204,420) 64,323 (64,323)

(3) Price risk

The Company’s investment portfolio consists of direct and indirect investments in equity instruments classified as financial assets
at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which is in line with the
Company’s strategy.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, price fluctuation of marketable equity securities (listed stocks) by 1% would result in changes
in other comprehensive income (before income tax) of W 52,510 million and W 92,073 million, respectively, and changes in profit
before tax of W 3,472 million and W 3,144 million, respectively.

(B) Credit risk

Credit risk arises during the normal course of transactions and investing activities where customers or other parties fail to discharge
an obligation. The Company monitors and sets the customer’s and counterparty’s credit limit on a periodic basis based on the
customer’s and counterparty’s financial conditions, default history and other factors. Adequate insurance coverage is maintained for
trade receivables related to trading partners situated in higher risk countries.

Credit risk can arise from transactions with financial institutions including financial instrument transactions such as cash and cash
equivalents, deposits, and derivative instruments. To minimize such risk, the Company has a policy of transacting only with banks
that have a strong international credit rating (S&P A and above), and new transactions with financial institutions which the Company
does not have an existing relationship are subject to the completion of risk assessments prior to commencement of transactions. The
Company generally enters into financial agreements without restrictions, such as debt ratio covenants, provision of collateral and/or
repayment of borrowings, and otherwise separate approvals are obtained.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets net of impairment losses is the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 121 / 396


(C) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that a company will have difficulty in meeting all its financial obligations. The Company’s main sources of
liquidity are cash generated from operations and funds raised from the capital markets and financial institutions, while its main
liquidity needs are for investments in production, research and development, working capital and dividends. Due to the nature of the
Company’s business, which involves large investments, maintaining adequate levels of liquidity is critical. The Company maintains
and manages adequate liquidity through forecasting periodic cash flows, estimating required cash levels, and monitoring inflows and
outflows of cash.

The Company has established Cash Pooling by region to respond effectively to liquidity risks, even when individual companies within
a region are underfunded. Cash Pooling is a system that shares funds between underfunded and overfunded companies, minimizing
the liquidity risk of individual companies, easing the burden of fund management, and reducing financial costs.

In addition, the Company has secured credit lines for its overseas subsidiaries by means of payment guarantees from the head office
in the event of large liquidity needs, and, at the end of the period, the Company had investment grade ratings of Aa2 from Moody’s
and AA- from S&P, enabling it to raise funds on the capital market in a timely manner.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the maturity analysis of financial liabilities, based on the remaining period from the reporting
date to the contractual maturity date, is as follows:

December 31, 2023


Less than More than
(In millions of Korean won) 3 months ~ 6 months ~1 year 1 ~ 5 years 5 years

Financial liabilities 43,302,421 589,743 1,529,785 7,811,246 2,337,792

December 31, 2022


Less than More than
(In millions of Korean won) 3 months ~ 6 months ~1 year 1 ~ 5 years 5 years

Financial liabilities 42,990,570 733,984 1,925,448 5,402,672 1,562,274

The cash flows included in the maturity classification, based on the remaining period to the contractual maturity date, are undiscounted
expected cash outflows.

The Company’s derivative financial liabilities of W 44,252 million (December 31, 2022: W 119,061 million) has been included
within the less than 3 months bucket. These are the Company’s trading portfolio of derivative instruments, on a net settlement term,
of which the contractual maturities are not essential for understanding its cash flows. These contracts are managed on a net fair value
basis rather than by the maturity date. Net settled derivatives consist of forwards on currency rates used by the Company to manage
the exchange rate profile.

Derivatives that are settled on a gross basis by the delivery of underlying items, including derivatives for hedging, will be settled
within the next 48 months from the end of the reporting period. These derivatives are not included in the table above.

There is no maximum liquidity risk exposure from those other than the above financial liabilities (e.g., payment and performance
guarantees) as of December 31, 2023.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 122 / 396


(D) Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses cash flow hedge accounting to hedges of the exposure to changes in the price of inventories. As of December 31,
2023, the Company’s derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges are as follows:

December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022


(In millions of Korean won) Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities

Currency forward exchange contracts


Current 50,018 15,031 44,567 11,035
Non-current 19,853 18,099 15,703 15,813
Total 69,871 33,130 60,270 26,848

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognizes the gains and losses relating to the effective portion of

Debentures - 521,129 - 521,129
Other - 354,364 7,404 361,768

The levels of the fair value hierarchy and its application to financial assets and liabilities are described below.

ㆍ Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
ㆍ Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly
ㆍ Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. A market is
regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing
service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length
basis. These instruments are included in Level 1. The instruments included in Level 1 are listed equity investments, most of which
are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 125 / 396


The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These
valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific
estimates. If all significant inputs required to measure the fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in
Level 2.

If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

The Company performs the fair value measurements required for financial reporting purposes, including Level 3 fair values, and
discusses valuation processes and results in line with the financial reporting timelines. The Company’s policy is to recognize
transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period if corresponding events or changes in circumstances have occurred.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:


ㆍ Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments
ㆍThe fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the reporting date, with the
resulting value discounted to present value

Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, binomial distribution model, etcetera, are used to determine fair value
for the remaining financial instruments. For trade and other receivables that are classified as current assets, the book value
approximates a reasonable estimate of fair value.

(3) Valuation technique and the inputs

The Company utilizes a present value technique to discount future cash flows using proper interest rates for corporate bonds,
government and public bonds, and bank debentures that are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents the valuation technique and the inputs used for major financial instruments classified as Level 3 as of
December 31, 2023.

(5) Sensitivity analysis for recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3

Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments is performed to measure favorable and unfavorable changes in the fair value of financial
instruments which are affected by the unobservable parameters, using a statistical technique. When the fair value is affected by
more than two input parameters, the amounts represent the most favorable or unfavorable.

The results of the sensitivity analysis for effect on income or loss before tax from changes in inputs for major financial instruments
which are categorized within Level 3 and subject to sensitivity analysis are as follows:

(In millions of Korean won) Favorable changes Unfavorable changes

comprehensive income(*1) - 161,758 - (111,678)
Other (*2) 101,749 - (101,696) -

(*1) For equity securities, changes in fair value are calculated with the correlation between the growth rate (-1.0%~1.0%) and the discount rate,
which are significant unobservable inputs.
(*2) Changes in fair value were calculated based on the correlation between underlying asset price (20%) and price volatility (10%), which are

significant unobservable inputs.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 145 / 396


2.2 Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures

(A) New and amended standards adopted by the Company

The Company applied the following amended standards for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing on January 1,
2023:

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1001, Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments replace the term ‘significant’ accounting policy information with ‘material’ accounting policy and clarify its
meaning. These amendments do not result in a change in accounting policy but affects the accounting policy information disclosed
in the separate financial statements. In addition, IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality Judgments has been amended to
provide guidance on the application of the concept of materiality. The Company has adopted the amendments to the standard and
discloses the Company’s material accounting policies in Note 2.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1008, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

The amendments clarify how accounting estimates are defined and distinguished from changes in accounting policies. The adoption
of the amendments does not have a significant impact on the Company’s separate financial statements.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1012, Income Tax

The amendments add to a condition to the initial recognition exemption that the initial recognition exemption does not apply to
transactions in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition. The adoption of the
amendments does not have a significant impact on the Company’s separate financial statements.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1012, Income Tax

The amendments clarify that Korean IFRS 1012, Income Taxes, applies to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or substantively
enacted to implement the Pillar Two Model Rules issued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

However, a temporary exemption from the requirements of Korean IFRS 1012, Income Taxes, has been adopted to allow the Company
to neither recognize nor disclose deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to Pillar Two income taxes.

(B) New and amended standards not yet adopted by the Company

The amended accounting standards that have been issued but not yet effective for the annual reporting period commencing on January
1, 2023 which have not been early adopted by the Company are as follows:

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1001, Presentation of Financial Statements

The amendments to Korean IFRS 1001 clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current should be based on rights
that are in existence at the end of the reporting period, and that the classification is unaffected by management's intentions or
expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability. The amendments also introduce a definition
of settlement to make clear that settlement includes the transfer to the counterparty of the entity's own equity instruments, however,
it would be excluded if an option to settle the liability by the transfer of the entity’s own equity instruments is recognized separately
from the liability as an equity component of a compound financial instrument. The amendments are applied for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted.
Samsung Electronics Business Report 146 / 396
Amendments to Korean IFRS 1116, Leases

The amendments add requirements for the subsequent measurement of sale-and-leaseback transactions that are accounted for as sales
in accordance with Korean IFRS 1115, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments require the seller-lessee to calculate
the ‘lease payments’ or ‘revised lease payments’ in a way that does not result in the seller-lessee recognizing any gain or loss for the
rights of use that the seller-lessee continues to retain after the lease commences. The amendments are effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1007, Statement of Cash Flows, and 1107, Financial Instruments: Presentation

The amendments add to the disclosure objectives in Korean IFRS 1007, Statement of Cash Flows, that information about supplier
financing arrangements should be disclosed to enable users of financial statements to assess the impact of those arrangements on the
Company’s liabilities and cash flows. The amendments also amend Korean IFRS 1107, Financial Instruments: Presentation, to add
supplier financing arrangements as an example of a requirement to disclose information about an entity’s exposure to concentrations
of liquidity risk.

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and include specific transitional
provisions for the first annual period in which they are applied. Early application is permitted.

2.3 Subsidiaries, Associates and Joint Ventures

The Company, which is the ultimate controlling entity for the purposes of Korean IFRS 1110 Consolidated Financial Statements,
recognizes its investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in its separate financial statements using the cost method in
accordance with Korean IFRS 1027 Separate Financial Statements.

If there is objective evidence of impairment, the difference between the recoverable amount of the investments in subsidiaries,
associates and joint ventures and their carrying amount is recognized as an impairment loss.

2.4 Functional and Presentation Currency

The Company measures items included in its financial statements using the currency of the primary economic environment in which
it operates ("functional currency"). The functional currency of the Company is Korean won (KRW) and the financial statements are
presented in Korean won (KRW).

2.5 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, and highly liquid short-term investment assets that
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash at the date of acquisition and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 147 / 396


2.6 Financial Assets

(A) Classification

Financial instruments are classified based on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow
characteristics of the financial asset. The Company considers the contractual terms of the relevant financial instrument and assesses
whether the contractual cash flows consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

(B) Impairment

The Company assesses the expected credit losses of debt instruments carried at amortized cost or fair value through other
comprehensive income on a forward-looking basis. However, the Company applies the simplified approach for trade receivables,
which requires expected credit losses to be recognized over the life of the receivable from initial recognition.

2.7 Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognized at initial transaction price, unless they contain a significant financing component, and are
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for impairment.

2.8 Inventories

The Company determines the unit cost of inventories, except for materials in transit, using the average cost method. The cost of
finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads based
on normal operating capacity, excluding the cost of idle production equipment and scrapping costs.

The Company measures inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in
the ordinary course of business less the applicable variable selling expenses, and reflects the decrease in selling price, the increase in
costs to completion, or decrease in value due to excess or obsolete inventory.

2.9 Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment begins when assets are considered by management to be available for their intended
use, such as in the production of products.

The Company’s property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
less any residual values. Land is not depreciated. Costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction of a qualifying
asset, including capitalized interest costs, are depreciated over the estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment used by the Company for each asset category are as follows:

Estimated useful lives


Buildings and structures 15, 30 years
Machinery and equipment 5 years
Other 5 years

Samsung Electronics Business Report 148 / 396


2.10 Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business
at the date of acquisition and is recorded as an intangible asset.

Intangible assets, other than goodwill, are initially recognized at their historical cost and are subsequently stated at cost less
accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

Membership rights are regarded as intangible assets with indefinite useful life and not amortized as there are no foreseeable restrictions
on their use. However, whenever there is an indication of impairment, such as a decline in the market value of membership rights, a
reasonable estimate is made to reflect the impairment. Intangible assets with finite useful lives, such as patents, trademarks and other
intangible assets, are amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives of intangible assets used by the Company are as follows:

Estimated useful lives


Patents, trademarks and other intangible assets 5 - 10 years

2.11 Financial Liabilities

The Company classifies financial liabilities into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities
and recognizes them on the statement of financial position when the Company becomes a party to a contract, depending on the
substance of the contractual terms.

2.12 Employee Benefits

The Company operates various types of post-employment benefit plans, including defined benefit plans and defined contribution
plans. The defined benefit liability (asset) recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit plans is the
present value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date less the fair value of plan assets, less any deficit (excess of plan
assets over the asset recognition threshold) and is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

2.13 Income Tax Expense

The Company applies the exemption to the recognition and disclosure of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the Pillar Two
Model Rules of OECD. Furthermore, as the relevant legislation will be effective from January 1, 2024, the Company has not
recognized any current tax expense related to Pillar Two in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries,
associates and joint ventures, except where the Company 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. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible
temporary differences arising on these assets only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the
foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 149 / 396


2.14 Derivative Instruments

The Company recognizes its rights and obligations under derivative contracts as assets and liabilities at fair value and records gains
and losses on these contracts in the statement of profit or loss. However, effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow
hedges are deferred in equity.

2.15 Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue primarily represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods in the
ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Revenue is net of value-added tax, returns, sales incentives, discounts and others.

(A) Identification of performance obligations

The Company is required to transfer control of goods and services under contracts with customers. For the export of products and
goods under Incoterms Group C terms (such as CIF), the Company recognize the transportation services (including insurance)
provided after the control of the goods has passed to the customer as a separate performance obligation.

(B) Performance obligations satisfied at a point of time

The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the sale of goods and is recognized when control of the goods passes to the customer.

(C) Performance obligations satisfied over time

The Company recognizes revenue over time for sales of software, transportation services, installation services, and etc. where the
customer has direct control over the outcome during the performance of the service.

(D) Variable consideration

The Company provides a variety of sales promotions including incentives, promotion and sales allowances. Where these sales
promotion policies result in variability in the consideration promised to customers, the Company estimates the variable consideration
using either the expected value or the most likely amount whichever method the Company expects to better predict the amount of
consideration to which it will be entitled. The estimate of variable consideration is included in transaction price only to the extent that
it is highly probable that a significant portion of the cumulative revenue already recognized will not be reversed. Revenue and contract
liabilities are recognized when the related revenue is earned or when the decision to pay the variable consideration to the customer is
made, whichever is later.

The Company recognizes contract liabilities (refund liabilities) after the sale of products to customers by estimating the return rate
using the expected value methods based on historical experience. When the customer exercises its right to return the product, the
Company recognizes the asset as a refund asset and adjusts cost of sales by the amount of the right to collect the product from the
customer. The right to collect the product is measured by deducting the cost of collecting the product from the historical carrying
amount of the product.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 150 / 396


2.16 Leases

(A) Lessee accounting

The Company applies the practical expedient of Korean IFRS 1116, Leases, and does not separate the non-lease elements from the
lease elements and accounts for the non-lease elements relating to each lease element as a single lease element.

At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset (the lease asset) representing the right to use the
underlying asset and a lease liability representing the obligation to make lease payments. The right-of-use asset is presented in the
statement of financial position as ‘property, plant and equipment’ and the lease liability is presented as ‘current portion of long-term
liabilities’ or ‘long-term borrowings.’

Lease liabilities are measured at the inception of the lease at the present value of the lease payments outstanding at that date,
discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

For short-term leases (lease terms of 12 months or less at the inception of the lease) and low value assets (underlying assets of USD
5,000 or less), lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term applying the simplified
practical expedient.

(B) Lessor accounting

The Company, as a lessor, determines whether a lease is a finance or an operating lease at the inception of the lease.

Leases that transfer substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the leased assets are classified as finance leases and all
leases other than finance leases are classified as operating leases. Lease income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the lease term, while initial direct costs incurred during the negotiation and contracting phase of an operating lease are
added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and expensed over the lease term against the lease income.

2.17 Government Grants

Government grants relating to revenues are deferred and recognized in the statement of profit or loss in the same period in which they
are matched with revenues or expenses related to the purpose for which the grant was made. Government grants received related to
the acquisition of assets are treated as deferred income and credited to the statement of profit or loss over the useful lives of the related
assets.

2.18 Convenience Translation into United States Dollar Amounts

The US dollar amounts provided in the separate financial statements represent supplementary information solely for the convenience
of the reader. All Korean won amounts are expressed in US dollar at the rate of W 1,306.1 to $1, the average exchange rate for the
year ended December 31, 2023. Such presentation is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and should not
be construed as a representation that the Korean won amounts shown could be readily converted, realized or settled in US dollars at
this or any other rate.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 151 / 396


2.19 Approval of the Separate Financial Statements

These separate financial statements of the Company were approved by the Board of Directors on January 31, 2024, and may be
approved as amended at the Annual General Shareholders’ Meetings.

3. Material Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and
are based on historical experience and future events that are reasonably foreseeable under the circumstances. These estimates may
differ from actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have the most significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year are as follows.

(A) Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes a liability for a product return and a right to the returned goods that are expected to be returned by customers
following the sale of products to customers. At the point of sale, the Company estimates the return using the expected value method
based on accumulated experience at the portfolio level and the Company’s revenue is affected by changes in the expected return.

Revenue from the sale of goods recognized at the point of transfer of control is the contractual consideration less consideration paid
to customers in relation to certain sales promotion activities. Based on the historical experience and terms of contracts, the Company
makes reasonable estimates of the sales deductions which affect the Company’s revenue.

(B) Provision for warranty

The Company provides warranties for products sold. At the end of each reporting period, the Company recognizes a provision for
warranties based on its best estimate of the amount it believes is necessary to provide for future and current warranty obligations.
These best estimates are based on historical experience.

(C) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using various valuation techniques and
assumptions based on market conditions prevailing at the end of each reporting period.

(D) Impairment of financial assets

In measuring the allowance for impairment losses on financial assets, the Company makes assumptions about the risk of default and
expected credit rates. In making these assumptions and selecting the inputs for the impairment calculations, the Company makes
judgment based on past experience and current and forecast of future economic conditions at the reporting date.
(E) Lease

In determining the lease term, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances that provide an economic incentive to
exercise a renewal option, or not to exercise a termination option. The period covered by the renewal option (or the period covered
by the termination option) is included in the lease term only if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise (or not exercise)
the renewal option.

The lease term is reassessed when the option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or when the Company becomes committed to
exercise (or not exercise) the option. The Company only changes its assessment of whether it is reasonably certain the renewal option
Samsung Electronics Business Report 152 / 396
will be exercised (or not) if there is a significant event or change in circumstances within the lessee’s control that affects the calculation
of the lease term.

(F) Net defined benefit liabilities (assets)

The net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are dependent on a number of factors which are determined using actuarial methods based
on a number of assumptions. Among the assumptions used to determine the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) is the discount rate,
and changes in these assumptions will affect the carrying amount of the net defined benefit liability (asset). At the end of each year
the Company determines an appropriate discount rate, taking into account the interest rates on high-quality corporate bonds, which
represents the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be
required to settle the net defined benefit liability (asset). Some key assumptions relating to the net defined benefit liability (asset) are
based on current market conditions.

(G) Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful life

The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life for impairment annually. The recoverable amount of a
cash-generating unit or asset, including goodwill, is determined based on a value-in-use calculation. These calculations are based on
estimates.

(H) Income taxes

Income taxes on the Company’s taxable income are calculated by applying tax laws and decisions of tax authorities in various
countries, and, therefore, there is uncertainty in determining the final tax effect. The Company has recognized current and deferred
tax based on its best estimate of the tax consequences expected to be payable in future periods as a result of the Company’s operating
activities up to the reporting date. However, the actual future final tax liability may not be consistent with the related assets and
liabilities recognized, and such differences may affect the current and deferred tax assets and liabilities when the final tax effect is
determined.

The Company is subject to additional income taxes, calculated in accordance with the method prescribed by tax laws, when a certain
amount is not used for investment, wage growth, etcetera, in a given period. The related tax effect is reflected in the measurement of
current and deferred income taxes for the period, and the amount of income tax payable by the Company depends on the level of
investment, wage growth, etcetera in each year, resulting in uncertainty in determining the final tax effects.

The Company assesses uncertainty over its tax positions and, if the Company concludes that it is not probably that the tax authorities
will accept a uncertain tax position, the effect of the uncertainty is recognized in the financial statements for each uncertain tax
position using the method that is expected to provide a better estimate of the resolution of the uncertainty, which is more likely of the
following methods.

(1) Most likely amount: the single most probable amount within a range of possible outcomes.
(2) Expected value: the sum of the probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible outcomes.

5. Transfer of Financial Assets

The Company discounted trade receivables through factoring arrangements with banks during the years ended December 31, 2023
and 2022. Trade receivables provided as collaterals in factoring transactions have not been derecognized as they do not meet the
requirements for derecognition of financial assets as the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards, including the recourse
in the event of default by the debtor. Financial liabilities recognized in these transactions are classified as ‘short-term borrowings’ on
the separate statement of financial position (refer to Note 12).

The carrying amount of the discounted trade receivables and the associated liabilities as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as
follows:

(In millions of Korean won) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022

(E) Global minimum top-up tax

The global minimum top-up is a system under which multinational companies with consolidated revenue of €750 million or more in
at least two of the four preceding financial years are required to pay a substantial amount of tax to the tax authorities of the country
in which the parent company resides if their effective tax rate in those countries is less than 15%.

The Republic of Korea, where the Company is domiciled, enacted the Global Minimum Tax Act in 2023, which requires the
application of the Global Minimum Tax for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

The Company believes that it will be subject to the Global Minimum Tax Act, but as the Global Minimum Tax Act will be effective
in the Republic of Korea from January 1, 2024, there is no impact on the Company's current income tax expense. In addition, the
Company has applied the temporary exemption for deferred taxes under Korean IFRS 1012 and has not recognized any deferred tax
assets or liabilities related to the global minimum tax law and has not disclosed any deferred tax information.

As the legislation in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries are located that are primarily affected by the global minimum
top-up tax legislation has not been enacted or specific legislation is in the process of being enacted, it is not possible to reasonably
estimate the impact on the Company as at December 31, 2023. Each of the Company’s subsidiaries is reviewing the impact on its
financial statements with tax experts in each country.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 187 / 396


28. Financial Risk Management

The Company manages its financial risks with a focus on minimizing market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and other risks arising
from its operating activities. To this end, the Company closely monitors and responds to each risk factor.

The Company establishes global financial management standards and manages the risks by periodically measuring customer’s and
counterparties’ financial risk, applying currency hedges, and reviewing cash flows.

The Company also manages foreign exchange risk by monitoring foreign exchange rate fluctuations through local financial centers
in the major regions (United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, China, Brazil, and Russia), which act as an agent for the subsidiaries
in each region to manage foreign exchange transactions. In addition, local finance centers in the major regions respond to liquidity
risk through a regionally integrated financial structure.

The Company’s financial assets subject to financial risk management consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial
instruments, financial assets at amortized cost, trade receivables and others, while its financial liabilities consist of trade payables,
borrowings, and others.

(A) Market risk

(1) Foreign exchange risk

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from its global operations through transactions in currencies other than its
functional currency. The main currencies in which the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk are the US dollar and European
Euro.

The Company focuses on minimizing the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation by matching levels of assets and liabilities
denominated in each foreign currency. To minimize exchange position, the Company’s foreign exchange management policy requires
normal business transactions, including import and export, as well as financing transactions such as depositing and borrowing, to be
in local currency or match as closely as possible cash inflows and outflows incurred in the respective foreign currencies. This reduces
but does not eliminate, the foreign exchange risk to which the Company is exposed. Moreover, the Company periodically evaluates
and monitors the foreign exchange risk to efficiently mitigate such risk, and the speculative foreign exchange transactions are strictly
prohibited.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the impact on profit or loss (before tax) of a 5% change in exchange rates on the Company’s
financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in a major foreign currency other than the functional currency would be as follows:

December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022


(In millions of Korean won) Increase Decrease Increase Decrease

USD 201,224 (201,224) 77,795 (77,795)


EUR (25,356) 25,356 (53,114) 53,114

Samsung Electronics Business Report 188 / 396


(2) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk for floating interest rate financial instruments can be defined as the risk of changes in the fair value of components
of the statements of financial position due to changes in the market interest rates, and the risk of changes in the future cash flows
of interest income and expenses arising from investing and financing activities. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk arises
primarily from interest-bearing deposits and floating interest rate debt obligations, and the Company manages its exposure to
interest rate risk to minimize uncertainty and cost of financing resulting from changes in interest rates.

(3) Price risk

The Company’s investment portfolio consists of direct and indirect investments in equity instruments classified as financial assets
at fair value through other comprehensive income, which is in line with the Company’s strategy.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, price fluctuation of marketable equity securities (listed stocks) by 1% would result in changes
in other comprehensive income (before income tax) of W 17,573 million and W 12,479 million, respectively.

(B) Credit risk

Credit risk arises during the normal course of transactions and investing activities where customers or other parties fail to discharge
an obligation. The Company monitors and sets the customer’s and counterparty’s credit limit on a periodic basis based on the
customer’s and counterparty’s financial conditions, default history and other factors. Adequate insurance coverage is maintained for
trade receivables related to trading partners situated in higher risk countries.

Credit risk can arise from transactions with financial institutions including financial instrument transactions such as cash and cash
equivalents, deposits, and derivative instruments. To minimize such risk, the Company transacts only with banks which have a strong
international credit rating (S&P A and above), and new transactions with financial institutions which the Company does not have an
existing relationship are subject to the completion of risk assessments prior to commencement of transactions. The Company generally
enters into financial agreements without restrictions, such as debt ratio covenants, provision of collateral and/or repayment of loans/
borrowings, and otherwise separate approvals are obtained.

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets net of impairment losses is the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

(C) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that a company will have difficulty in meeting all its financial obligations. The Company’s main sources of
liquidity are cash generated from operations and funds raised from the capital markets and financial institutions, while its main
liquidity needs are for investments in production, research and development, working capital and dividends. Due to the nature of the
Company’s business, which involves large investments, maintaining adequate levels of liquidity is critical. The Company maintains
and manages adequate liquidity through forecasting periodic cash flows, estimating required cash levels, and monitoring inflows and
outflows of cash.

The Company has established Cash Pooling by region to respond effectively to liquidity risks, even when individual companies within
a region are underfunded. Cash Pooling is a system that shares funds between underfunded and overfunded companies, minimizing
the liquidity risk of individual companies, easing the burden of fund management, and reducing financial costs.

In addition, the Company has secured credit lines for its overseas subsidiaries by means of payment guarantees from the head office
in the event of large liquidity needs, and, at the end of the period, the Company had investment grade ratings of Aa2 from Moody’s
and AA- from S&P, enabling it to raise funds on the capital market in a timely manner.
Samsung Electronics Business Report 189 / 396

undiscounted expected cash outflows.

The maximum amount of liquidity risk in the form of payment and performance guarantees provided to subsidiaries as of December
31, 2023 and 2022, other than the financial liabilities mentioned above, is W 10,960,748 million and W 10,793,412 million,
respectively.

(D) Capital risk management

The purpose of capital management is to maintain a sound capital structure and protect the Company’s ability to continue to provide
benefits to its shareholders and stakeholders as a going concern. The Company monitors capital on the basis of credit ratings and debt
ratio.

The Company has maintained an AA- and Aa2 credit rating from S&P and Moody’s, respectively.

The debt ratio as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

(2) Fair value hierarchy classifications of the financial instruments that are measured at or only disclosed their fair value as of
December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

(In millions of Korean won) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total balance

- - 283 283
profit or loss
Liabilities
Current portion of debentures - 6,580 - 6,580
Debentures - 27,845 - 27,845

The levels of the fair value hierarchy and its application to financial assets and liabilities are described below.

ㆍ Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
ㆍ Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly
ㆍ Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. A market is
regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing
service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length
basis. These instruments are included in Level 1. The instruments included in Level 1 are listed equity investments, most of which
are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These
valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific
estimates. If all significant inputs required to measure the fair value of an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in
Level 2.

If one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 192 / 396


The Company performs the fair value measurements required for financial reporting purposes, including Level 3 fair values, and
discusses valuation processes and results in line with the financial reporting timelines. The Company’s policy is to recognize
transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period if corresponding events or changes in circumstances have occurred.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

ㆍ Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments


ㆍ The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the
reporting date, with the resulting value discounted to present value

Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, binomial distribution model, etcetera, are used to determine fair value for
the remaining financial instruments. For trade and other receivables that are classified as current assets, the book value approximates
a reasonable estimate of fair value.

(3) Valuation technique and the inputs

The Company utilizes a present value technique to discount future cash flows using proper interest rates for corporate bonds,
government and public bonds, and bank debentures that are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents the valuation technique and the inputs used for major financial instruments classified as Level 3 as of
December 31, 2023.

Amount recognized in other comprehensive income (19,215) 22,926
Other - (13,719)
Balance as of December 31 490,403 116,726

(5) Sensitivity analysis for recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3

Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments is performed to measure favorable and unfavorable changes in the fair value of financial
instruments which are affected by the unobservable parameters, using a statistical technique. When the fair value is affected by
more than two input parameters, the amounts represent the most favorable or unfavorable.

The results of the sensitivity analysis for effect on income or loss before tax from changes in inputs for major financial instruments
which are categorized within Level 3 and subject to sensitivity analysis are as follows:

(In millions of Korean won) Favorable changes Unfavorable changes

Classification Profit or loss Equity Profit or loss Equity


Financial assets at fair value through
- 2,792 - (2,458)
other comprehensive income(*1)

Other(*2) 97,309 - (96,785) -

(*1) For equity securities, changes in fair value are calculated with the correlation between the discount rate and growth rate (-1.0%
~1.0%), which are significant unobservable inputs.
(*2) Changes in fair value were calculated based on the correlation between underlying asset price (20%) and price volatility (10%), which are

significant unobservable inputs.

6. Dividends
We continue to work to enhance shareholder value alongside our efforts to strengthen competitiveness of our products and
businesses. Based on the previous shareholder return policy covering FY2021 to FY2023, we distributed an annual return
of 9.8 trillion won in regular dividends as a part of a total return of 50% of free cash flow. In January 2024, we announced
our shareholder return policy for FY2024 to FY2026, which maintains the terms of the previous shareholder return policy:
Samsung Electronics will pay an annual regular dividend of 9.8 trillion won as a part of total shareholder returns of 50% of
the free cash flow for the period covering FY2024 to FY2026. At the close of each year, we will consider executing an early
return of capital beyond regular dividends if we forecast there is potential for a significant surplus. Furthermore, the
Company will consider implementing a new policy flexibly before the expiration of the policy for FY2024 to FY2026 in
consideration of M&A activities and cash positions.

The guideline for bad debt allowances for trade receivables

(1) Calculation of bad debt allowance

 Bad debt allowance is calculated using an expected credit loss impairment model which is based on write-off
experience rate and future expected bad debt amount.

(2) Calculation basis of write-off experience rate and future expected bad debt:

 Write-off experience rate for each aging group of receivables is calculated based on the actual rate of credit losses to
three-year average receivables balance.

 Future expected bad debt is determined taking into consideration cases of debtor bankruptcy, compulsory execution,
death, disappearance, credit information of debtor and forward-looking information.

[Bad debt allowance by circumstance]

Circumstance Rate of allowance


Dispute or conflict 25%
Receivable through utilization of third party collection agency 50%
Receivable under litigation 75%
Customer filed or in the process of filing bankruptcy 100%

Samsung Electronics Business Report 221 / 396


(3) Instruction: Write-off is recorded when trade receivables contain the following characteristics:
ㆍ Objective proof of bad debts, such as bankruptcy, compulsory execution, discontinuance of business, debtor’s death
or disappearance
ㆍ Legal action has failed or the right of collection has been extinguished.
ㆍ When the third party collection agency notifies that collection is not possible.
ㆍ When the collateral is sold or insurance is received.
ㆍ When collection expense exceeds receivables amount.

2. Overview
The global business environment in 2023 was extremely difficult, with challenges stemming from economic slowdowns
and persistent uncertainties linked with global monetary tightening and geopolitical issues. Against this backdrop, Samsung
Electronics posted total revenue of KRW 259 trillion and an operating profit of KRW 7 trillion on a consolidated basis; and
total revenue of KRW 170 trillion and an operating loss of KRW 12 trillion on a separate basis. Our financial structure
remained sound—we recorded a debt ratio of 25.4%, capital adequacy ratio of 79.8%, and ROE of 4.3% on a consolidated
basis. On a standalone basis, the respective figures were 32.1%, 75.7%, and 11.7%. Our brand value in 2023 was evaluated
at USD 91.4 billion (Interbrand; November 2023), up 4% from last year’s figure and maintaining our position as the world’s
fifth most valuable brand.
On the business side, we further solidified our market power and industry leadership by launching the S23 series, Galaxy Z
Fold5 and Z Flip5 while strengthening our lineup of Neo QLED TVs and Bespoke products; and we further enhanced the
profitability and cost competitiveness of the component business based on our capabilities in core technologies, which
enable the expansion of HBM, DDR5, LPDDR5x, and other high-value-added products.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 231 / 396
competitiveness by providing differentiated eco-friendly features and introducing customer-tailored products, seeking to
maintain our growth momentum.

Even amid challenging market conditions, including prolonged geopolitical issues and effects of inflation and the economic
downturn, the DX Division’s MX Business achieved solid results, including an increase in sales in the flagship smartphone
market.

We optimize our smartphone lineups to the market conditions and competitive environment in each region by leveraging
our diverse and competitive product portfolio that encompasses mass-market to premium models as well as devices within
the Galaxy Ecosystem.
In 2023, we stayed committed to extending our technology leadership by elevating the product experiences our customers

monitor market conditions and preemptively address any changes.

For DRAM, we further strengthened our technological competitiveness by preemptively establishing DRAM mass
production applying multi-step EUV technology—a world’s first—and will grow qualitatively by centering our portfolio
on high-value-added and high density products. Samsung will also actively address the demand from rising content-per-box
spurred by the spread of on-device AI, primarily from PC and mobile; as well as the demand related to approaching
replacement cycles of some products sold during the early stage of the pandemic. Our status in the HBM market will keep
rising as we continue to expand the portion of HBM3/3E and develop HBM4, the next-generation product, along with
customized products.

Samsung Electronics Business Report 232 / 396


For NAND in 2024, we will bolster technology competitiveness with our advanced-product lineup in V-NAND via further
migrating to 8th-gen and promoting the adoption of 9th-gen. Furthermore, we are entering the mobile-use QLC market
while also targeting leadership in the early stages of the market for Gen5 SSDs used in generative AI.

In 2023, System LSI faced ongoing challenges from a delayed recovery in smartphone demand and inventory adjustments
in the mobile business. In the second half of the year, conditions improved somewhat, driven by component supply for
MX’s Galaxy and increased demand from OEMs in China. We will prepare for upcoming market changes by enhancing
competitiveness in costs and core technologies and by continuing to expand our customer base, thus solidifying our
foundation for continued growth. For SOCs, we are securing additional customers by releasing mobile products equipped
with on-device AI and expanding lineups to include automotive-use products, etc. At the same time, we are developing
3nm SOCs and next-generation IP technology as a part of our ever-present preparations for the future. In image sensors,
our differentiated zoom function led the market with our high-value-added 200-megapixel sensor based on fine-pixel
technology. At the same time, we targeted diversification by entering new markets, such as ones for autonomous vehicles
and XR devices.

In the Foundry Business, we expect external conditions to remain challenging, with the depressed market carried forth
from 2H 2022 likely to keep weighing on demand amid a delayed market rebound. That said, we aim to enhance our
competitiveness by ensuring across-the-board readiness for a market recovery. Moreover, capturing demand in the
medium to long term is crucial for advanced nodes, so we are vigilantly monitoring market conditions in order to flexibly
and pre-emptively expand capacity to address future demand. For mature nodes, we will keep fortifying cost
competitiveness by expanding sales of high-value-added products and optimizing our product mix while fully addressing
the needs of our current customers by enhancing our process/product portfolios.

(SDC)
SDC’s revenue in 2023 decreased by KRW 3.4072 trillion (9.9%) from the previous year to KRW 30.9754 trillion due to
muted consumer sentiment led by concerns over inflation and an economic downturn. Operating profit decreased by KRW
386.5 billion (6.5%) to KRW 5.5665trillion.

The mobile display business achieved solid earnings, led mainly by high-end products, despite a decline in smartphone
demand due to weakened consumer sentiment caused by concerns over inflation, rate hikes, and the economic downturn.
We actively addressed our customers’ increasingly sophisticated needs by establishing an optimal product portfolio that
ranges from mass-market through to premium products with our Flexible and Rigid OLED panels. Indeed, our industry-
leading technological capabilities have been recognized based on our products’ differentiated technologies and performance.

For large displays, we have successfully positioned QD-OLED TVs and monitors in the premium segment, and we will
keep striving to diversify our product lineups and customer base.

In 2024, we expect the overall market to remain mostly flat due to the still-slow global economy and ongoing regional
conflicts. On top of that, competition among panel makers has intensified further amid a stagnant smartphone market, so
the business environment should remain challenging. Against this backdrop, we will continually develop new
technologies and fortify our innovation leadership. For the mobile panel business, we will solidify future growth engines
in areas such as IT (tablet/notebook PCs) and automotive while maintaining our dominant position in mobile panels. For
the large panel business, we aim to improve our results by expanding in the monitor market and maximizing efficiencies.

(Harman)
Harman’s revenue in 2023 increased by KRW 1.1748 trillion (8.9%) year-on-year to KRW 14.3885 trillion; while its
Samsung Electronics Business Report 233 / 396
operating profit increased by KRW 293.2 billion (33.3%) to KRW 1.1737 trillion. Both revenue and operating profit
achieved growth thanks to expanded orders by automotive customers and increased sales of consumer audio products such
as portable speakers as well as car audio products

Since its acquisition, Harman has continued to post strong growth in its strategic automotive components and consumer
audio businesses, despite the recent and further deteriorations in macroeconomic conditions. Harman has expanded its
capabilities via internal innovations and synergies with various Samsung Electronics technologies from businesses such as
mobile, IT, display, and semiconductor.

As a leader in the car component market, we supply car manufacturers with products that apply innovative technologies, all
while maintaining quality at a level befitting a premium brand. In the infotainment market, we gained early dominance by
preemptively addressing the transition to digital cockpits, and we won the industry’s first order for 5G Telematics Control
Units (TCUs) via our development of differentiated technologies. We will focus our capabilities on providing a more
convenient, pleasant, and safe in-cabin experience by preparing for the era of autonomous vehicles based on such
technological innovations.

In the consumer audio market, we have used our innovative technologies to firmly establish the brand’s reputation among
consumers and audiophiles. In particular, JBL has sold the most Bluetooth speakers in the global market for eight
consecutive years, and it is sustaining notable growth momentum in the wireless earphone market. We will further
enhance our brand reputation while consistently providing new user experiences.

In 2024, we expect global GDP growth to slow compared to 2023 and the automotive and audio markets to remain flat,
thus weighing on overall business conditions. However, we will strive to further our competitiveness in products and costs
by strengthening our responsiveness towards changes in the business environment, fortifying global competitiveness, and
accelerating technological innovation while remaining committed to achieving solid earnings.

E. Foreign exchange risk
The Company experiences currency gains and losses based on the different functional currency of each entity due to global
operations. As such, the Company is exposed to foreign currency volatility from exchange positions of currencies, especially
related to the US dollar, and Euro.
(closing rate end at year-end by currency)
Currency 2023 2022 Change Change (%)
USD 1,289.40 1,267.30 22.10 1.7%
EUR 1,426.59 1,351.20 75.39 5.6%

The foreign currency exposure to financial assets and liabilities of a 5% currency rate change against the Korean won (before
income tax) are presented below:
(KRW mil)

Currency
Increase Decrease Increase Decrease

EUR 151,740 -151,740 92,546 -92,546

To minimize foreign exchange risk arising from operating activities, the Company maintains the same level of equity and
liability in each currency. To minimize foreign exchange positions, the Company’s foreign exchange management policy
requires normal business transactions (including imports and exports) as well as financing transactions (such as
deposits/borrowings) to be in the functional currency or for the cash-in currency to be matched up with the cash-out currency.
However, when some foreign exchange positions arise, the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation is to be mitigated through
measures such as bond sales and forward exchanges. While such means can reduce foreign exchange risk, they can’t remove
the risk entirely. The company regularly monitor and assess the foreign exchange risk to efficiently manage the risk and
strictly prohibit speculative foreign exchange transactions.

F. Recognition of asset impairment loss


The Company conducts an annual review on asset impairment of CGUs (cash generating unit). The recoverable amount of
a CGU is based on the calculation of value in use, and the value in use is calculated using a BTCF (before tax cash flow)
assumption that based on the financial budget for the next five years (or longer if mid- to long-term plans for new businesses
with emerging technologies are deemed appropriate) approved by the management committee. In calculating terminal-year
cash flow for period that exceeds the term, assumption of fixed average growth (does not exceed industry average) was
used.

Impairment losses are recognized to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount of a CGU. The
recoverable amount is determined by choosing the greater figure between the use-value and fair-value, which deducts the
disposal amount per cost. Recognized impairment gains or losses in 2022 reached KRW 85.4 billion for tangible assets and
KRW 5.4 billion for intangible assets.

Refer to 『3. Notes to consolidated financial statements』 of 『III. Financial Affairs』 and 『B. Equity Investments in other
corporations』 of 『IX. Affiliates and Subsidiaries』 for more details about asset impairment loss.

4. Liquidity, financing, and expenditure
Liquidity risk refers to the possibility of a company having difficulties in fulfilling its obligations related to financial
liabilities. Our main sources of liquidity are cash generated by business operations and funds procured from capital market
and financial institutions. The main demands on our liquidity include investment for production and R&D, working capital,
and dividend payouts. The nature of our business requires making large investments, so maintaining an adequate level of
liquidity risk is crucial. The Company maintains and manages an adequate level of liquidity by estimating required cash,
managing income and expenses, and others.

The Company effectively manages its liquidity risk by periodically forecasting projected cash flows and by utilizing regional
cash pooling, which allows for the use of internal funds when an entity in a region lacks liquidity. The cash-pooling program
allows sharing of surplus funds among entities and contributes to minimizing liquidity risk and reducing capital operation
expenses and financial expenses.

In addition, the Company’s headquarters provides payment guarantees to overseas subsidiaries to secure credit limit to brace
for potential large-scale liquidity needs. As of end-2023, our investment ratings from international rating agencies Moody’s
and S&P are Aa2 and AA-, respectively, allowing us to raise capital in the capital market in a timely manner.

information disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, IFRS Practice Statement 2, Making Materiality
Judgments has been amended to provide guidance on the application of the concept of materiality. The Company has
adopted the amendments to the standard and discloses the Company’s material accounting policies in Note 2.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1008, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors

The amendments clarify how accounting estimates are defined and distinguished from changes in accounting policies.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1012, Income Tax

The amendments add to a condition to the initial recognition exemption that the initial recognition exemption does not
apply to transactions in which equal amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition.
The adoption of the amendments does not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to Korean IFRS 1012, Income Tax

The amendments clarify that Korean IFRS 1012, Income Taxes, applies to income taxes arising from tax law enacted or
substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two Model Rules issued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD).

However, a temporary exemption from the requirements of Korean IFRS 1012, Income Taxes, has been adopted to allow
the Company to neither recognize nor disclose deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to Pillar Two income taxes.
