unique designs, and enhanced value propositions.

TV is the core product of CE. The Company has maintained its position as the market leader for 14 consecutive years by
leveraging competitive advantages in hardware such as LCD/LED TVs as well as software driven product features within

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 4 / 261


[IM Division]
The IM Division operates the Mobile Communication Business, which produces and sells smart mobile devices such as
smartphones, tablets, wearables, etc. For smartphones, a key product of the business, we have developed a lineup ranging
from low-end right through to premium models, and have achieved growth in both advanced and emerging markets with
the Galaxy series.

We will lead growth of the smartphone market and deliver exceptional user experiences by: 1) offering innovative
hardware features such as new form factors (based on flexible OLED technology), high-definition cameras, biometric
sensors, and battery charger technologies; 2) improving software capabilities of mobile payment service Samsung Pay and
AI platform Bixby; and 3) investing in future growth drivers such as Cloud, IoT, healthcare, AR, and VR. At the same
time, we will lead the global 5G market based on our end-to-end solutions, which encompass handsets, chipsets, as well as
our commercialization experience in initial 5G markets.

[DS Division]
The Memory Business, System LSI Business, Foundry Business, and Display Panel (“DP”) Business make up the DS
Division. The Memory Business manufactures and sells DRAM and NAND products; the System LSI Business designs
and sells mobile application processors (“mobile APs” or “APs”) and camera sensor chips; the Foundry Business is in
charge of consignment production of semiconductors; and the DP Business manufactures and sells display panels.

The Company constantly works to increase its influence on end-product manufacturers and create new demand through
technological breakthroughs and the development of high quality components as it has done with APs—which serve as the
brains of mobile products—and with memory components like DRAM via enhanced capacity and density.

The Memory Business has maintained its position at the top of the global memory market by sustaining cost
competitiveness and applying the latest advanced process technology in each technological iteration. The System LSI
Business has not been complacent, expanding its focus from mobile to include automotive chips, and will stay at the
forefront of the market by offering differentiated products such as APs and CISs and strengthening competitiveness via its
advanced manufacturing process technology. In 1H19, the Foundry Business introduced the world’s first 7-nano product
manufactured with EUV technology. Leveraging its capabilities, the business will gain market leadership by developing
next-generation technologies such as 4- and 5-nano EUV processes and the 3-nano GAA (gate all around) process in 2020.
We are expanding the business by diversifying our product portfolio, which includes CISs, DDIs, and PMICs.

In the Display division, the Company and its mobile panel business’s differentiated technology is a main factor behind the
increased adoption of OLED panels, while its release of products in new applications—such as foldable devices, laptops,
and automotives—has expanded the overall market. Meanwhile, the large panel business is focusing on premium products
such as high-definition, ultra-large, QD TVs and is enhancing its competitiveness through continuous improvements in
technology and productivity.

[Harman Division]
Harman designs and develops connected products and solutions for automakers, consumers, and companies worldwide
and is a global leader in the market for connected car systems, audio and visual products, professional solutions, and
connected services. Harman has established an internationally renowned brand and employs both internal development
and strategic acquisitions to expand its lineup of quality products.

[CE Division]

 Industry overview
Since the first public demonstration of a true television system in 1926 and later mass production of color TVs,
technological developments have led to the creation of products such as the Trinitron CRT (1967) and flat CRT (1996). As
the penetration rate in major countries reached over 90%, the CRT TV business stagnated. The industry regained strong
growth momentum following the launch of flat panel TVs (“FPTVs”) like LCDs and PDPs, especially with the expansion
of digital broadcasting (UK/US 1998~). FPTVs replaced CRT sets on the back of their enhanced design, picture quality,
etc., combined with a sharp decline in prices.

The year 2010 saw the launch of 3D TVs, and the rise of internet video services along with increased consumer interest in
smart devices from 2011 to 2012 led to the birth of the smart TV market. The evolution continued with the launches of
UHD TVs, innovative products boasting significantly enhanced resolution and picture quality, a new form factor with
Curved TVs, followed by the commercialization of Quantum Dot TVs.

 Market condition
The market trend toward large, high-resolution screens is accelerating due to intensified competition between
manufacturers. Accordingly, market shares of major players with high-quality products and brand power are rising. In
addition, as consumer demand for high-resolution screens and slim designs increase, LED TVs, with eco-friendly LED
back light units—which increase brightness, contrast, and energy efficiency—have become the mainstream in the market.

In 2017, overall TV demand was 215.1 million units. By product, LCD-TVs sold 210 million units, for a market share of
over 99%. In 2018, overall TV demand increased 2.9% compared to the previous year, hovering around 221 million units.

Based on rising demand for high-definition, large-sized products in 2019, UHD TV demand increased 20% year-on-year
to 111.91 million units to account for about 53% of total TV demand. The market for ultra large-sized TVs (75-inch and
larger) grew approximately 88% year-on-year on the back of our efforts to create demand with our innovative products. In
2019, QLED demand increased about 105% year-on-year based on our dedication to improving product quality and on
rising demand for premium products (Source: Omdia, formerly IHS, 4Q19 data).

In 2020, market players will continue to strive for innovations in picture quality, sound, and form factor to create demand
for premium TVs. Competition in the 8K TV market, where the Company holds leadership, is expected to be especially
fierce as the market expands.

transforming any living space into an aesthetically pleasing gallery. Moreover, our concept of ‘Screen Everywhere’
unlocks placement opportunities for displays.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 27 / 261


In 2018, our strategic focus to strengthen premium leadership consisted of two pillars: QLED and ultra-large screens. We
aimed to elevate the viewer experience to another level by improving image quality even further by increasing contrast
ratio through our local dimming technology, allowing users to conveniently enjoy a wide variety of content on TV, and
improving connectivity via AI or IoT technologies.

In 2019, we solidified our leadership in the premium market with the introduction of the world’s first 8K TV to the global
market. Our QLED lineup, boasting improved picture quality, was well received by experts and consumers alike,
providing customers with even more choices via a wide range of sizes, from mid-sized to ultra-large. Also, our UHD
offerings expanded to the ultra-large segment, which contributed to our solid earnings.

In 2020, we will push forward with our premium TV strategy: for QLED, we will build on our leadership and expand
dominance in the premium market with ultra-large TVs based on the competitiveness of our substantially improved QLED
products and our broadened 8K lineup. Also, our UHD models for the mass market will come equipped with significant
improvements in in design and features, differentiating themselves from those of competitors.

 Industry overview
The mobile phone industry started with first generation analogue phones in the early 1980s and evolved to second
generation digital ones, using technology such as CDMA and GSM, where users could send voice and text messages.
Third generation mobile communication standards such as WCDMA allowed users to send photos and videos. Today,
fourth generation LTE mobile communication technology with ultra-high-speed data transmission is becoming
commonplace and is used in 76% of phones sold in 2019 (Strategy Analytics, November 2019). Fifth generation mobile
communication services, which will lead innovation alongside the fourth industrial revolution, were successfully
commercialized in Korea and the US and are expanding to Europe and Australia. Sales of 5G smart phones are projected
to reach 160 million units in 2020 (Strategy Analytics, November 2019).

The smartphone industry has grown significantly since 2007. In 2019, the smartphone portion of total HHPs is expected to
reach 77%. The feature phone portion of the total remained flat at 23% led by demand markets in developing nations
(Strategy Analytics, December 2019). In 2020, the penetration rate of smartphones will reach 51%, slightly increasing
from 49% in 2019 (Strategy Analytics, December 2019).

Also, as the smartphone market shows high saturation, the importance of competitive software and services—such as
applications, UX, mobile payments, AI, and AR—is rising alongside that of competitive hardware, which includes high-
performance APs, AMOLED displays, multiple cameras, sensors, waterproof & dustproof features, and biometric
recognition.

 Market Condition
Smartphone shipments in 2020 are projected to decrease year-on-year to 1.37 billion units from 1.42 billion units due to
market saturation and a longer replacement cycle attributed to a lack of differentiated features (Strategy Analytics,
December 2019). Meanwhile, shipments of tablets are expected to remain flat at 160 million units as smartphones adopt
larger screens and replacement decreases (Strategy Analytics, November 2019).

[DS Division]
- Semiconductor
 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, with CPUs (central processing units) for PCs, mobile devices, and servers forming the largest market.
System LSI products are used in myriad areas, such as household electronics, networks, and games. The Company
manufactures mobile APs for smartphones and tablets, image sensors, and other customized products.

Growth in the semiconductor market is expected to be negatively impacted by slowing demand for mobile devices as the
smartphone market slows and the tablet market contracts. The memory market, however, is projected to enjoy continuous
growth, fueled by increasing shipments of high-density information storage devices. Also, we expect demand to grow
rapidly in newly emerging areas such as IoT and automotive applications. Supply and demand volatility is expected to
decrease as demand diversifies.

 Market condition
In the DRAM market, inventory corrections in 2019, mainly by data centers, was behind weak demand from some
customers, but a recovery is expected in 2020. Although external factors such as the US-China trade conflict tightened
export regulations add to uncertainty, we plan to expand our market share by gaining an early edge in the market for high-
density memory for new CPUs and by addressing expansion of the 5G smartphone market in a timely manner.

Overall NAND demand has been bolstered by rising demand for SSDs in the growing cloud services market and a trend
toward high density in the PC market alongside demand linked with the expansion of 5G and upcoming launches of new
game consoles. Declines in ASP due to a supply glut are expected to soften.

SSDs to establish their foothold in the premium market.
We aim to expand the memory market by launching Smart SSD solutions for big data processing, 2nd generation Z-SSD,
and 4-bit server SSD, which boasts higher efficiency and reliability.

As the memory market is expected to keep growing, the Company will expand into differentiated products based on
advanced processes and address each market segment with diverse product lineups to maintain its position as the market’s
No.1 memory maker.

Growth in the System LSI business is being driven mainly by mobile products, including smartphones and tablet PCs, and
we are preparing for growth in new markets in IoT, wearables, and automotive applications. For SoCs, the mobile market
is likely to struggle due to lengthening smartphone replacement cycles, while AI, automotive, and 5G markets are
expected to grow.

For AP modem SoCs, we provide not only high-performance products, but also low-end to mid-range products. We are
leading the 5G market, backed by our development of the world’s first multi-mode modem that supports 2G, 3G, 4G, and
5G networks.

In the first half of 2019, the Foundry Business introduced the world’s first 7-nano EUV products. Building on this success,
the Company in 2020 aims to lead the market with timely launches of next-generation processes, such as 4- and 5-nano
EUV chips as well as 3-nano GAA chips. Moreover, we are also expanding our business by diversifying our production
portfolio, which already includes CISs, DDIs, PMICs, and more.

 Industry overview
Display refers to screens in electronic devices. Active matrix technology is most commonly used in displays, including
OLED (organic light emitting diode) panels and TFT-LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display).

OLED panels use organic materials, which offer sharp contrast and color, high color gamut, and fast response rates. Such
differentiating features provide advantages for use in smartphones where display features (multimedia contents, online
experience, etc.) are important, and as a result, OLED adoption in the smartphone market is growing rapidly.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 30 / 261


The market had raised concerns over the production of high-resolution, durable panels, but we overcame various
technological challenges and advanced the business. OLED panels make up for the shortcomings of LCD panels, and they
can be adopted in other applications such as foldable, rollable, and automotive. Growth of the OLED market is widely
expected to keep accelerating.

A TFT-LCD panel is a liquid crystal based display that features a thinner and lighter profile while offering high resolution.
It has a wide range of potential applications in devices of all sizes and functionality, from portable mobile devices to
large-size TVs featuring bright, high-resolution images. The market for large-panel TFT-LCD grew rapidly as their use
moved from laptops initially to monitors and then to TVs. Recently however, high saturation has caused growth to slow.

 Market condition
For mobile OLED panels, adoption is projected to increase alongside expansion of the 5G smartphone market, however,
market uncertainties are expected to linger due to intensifying competition among panel businesses attributable to capacity
expansions within the industry.

In 2019, the market for smartphone display panels, our major product group, was 1.61 billion units, with TFT-LCD and
OLED totals at 1.12 billion and 0.48 billion units, respectively. In 2020, the market for smartphone OLED panels is
expected to reach around 0.61 billion units as OLED will become a mainstream product for smartphone applications
thanks to growth of the 5G smartphone market (Source: Omdia, formerly IHS; Small & Medium Displays; Smartphone
OLED panels; January 2020).

For large, LCD panels, supply and demand are likely to remain imbalanced due to oversupply in the industry amid stunted
demand. Meanwhile, we expect stable growth in the premium market for ultra-high-definition, ultra-large TVs, and curved
and gaming monitors.

 Business condition

The Company has continued to stay atop the mobile OLED market in terms of market share since it successfully
commercialized OLED products in 2007, marking a world’s first. We diversified our product group to include displays for
foldable products, tablets, watches, laptops, and automotive applications, solidifying our position as the top player in the
OLED display market.

With both flexible and rigid OLED, our optimal smartphone product portfolio ranges from mass-market to premium
devices; and we are recognized as having best-in-class technology through our introduction of products with differentiated
technologies and designs.

OLED panels are expected to be increasingly adopted backed by advantages such as low power consumption and ultra-
thin design and propelled by accelerated growth of 5G communications. We are committed to improving the performance
of OLED panels as well as expanding our customer base by leveraging our differentiated technologies and designs.
Furthermore, we will focus on securing foldable-related technologies to spur popularization of this emerging product area;
and we will also cooperate with a wide range of customers to help perfect our new products.

For the LCD large panel business, the industry is likely to remain in oversupply amid stagnant demand. We will continue
striving to enhance profitability by increasing our portion of value-added panels, which include products for ultra-high-
definition 8K TVs and ultra-large-sized TVs, and by expanding sales of premium products such as curved and gaming
monitors.

[Harman Division]

 Industry overview
In 2019, global automobile production, which is closely related to automotive component business, decreased by 5–7%
year-on-year, but is expected to increase 1–2% annually by 2021 (LMC Global Production Projection, December 2019).

In the automotive industry, demand for connectivity and entertainment systems has been rising in the past few years, and
we expect it to keep rising as automakers seek to stay at the forefront of technology, particularly with the dual trends of
autonomous vehicles and shared mobility shaping the industry.

The audio industry (eg, connected homes, headphones, smart audio, etc.) is projected to grow 4% annually for consumer
audio until 2023 (Futuresource, November 2019). The professional audio market grew around 5–6% annually over the
last five years (AVIXA, Futuresource, Global Info & Arizton, June 2019).

Technological innovations (particularly in the connected home and smart audio spaces) have been a driving force behind a
considerable hike in demand. We anticipate that this growth will continue as technology continues to advance amid a
growing global economy.

 Market condition
The automotive and professional/consumer audio markets are highly competitive and growing rapidly.

In the connected car industry, there are numerous companies—eg, Alpine, Aptiv, Continental, Mitsubishi, and
Panasonic—that are cooperating with automotive manufacturers. Competition is expected to remain fierce between
dominant players and new entrants as consumers expect car makers to deliver the latest technology, including autonomous
driving.

Car audio systems is another segment where several major players (eg, Bose, Pioneer, and Panasonic) are competing
fiercely, which is expected to drive technological advances as each player introduces unique sound-management solutions.

The consumer audio market is rather fragmented and a handful of companies (Amazon, Beats, Bose, Ultimate Ears, etc.)
are showing early signs of dominance. We expect competition to remain intense as new players try to make inroads, given
the saturated market for connected homes and smart speakers.

The professional audio market, led by QSC and Yamaha, is segmented by product and has seen the entrance of numerous
companies offering a wide range of products and applications. We expect competition to keep intensifying as connected
homes and smart speakers gain popularity and on the entrance of new players from other industries such as the service
sector.

 Business condition
Harman is focused on continuing its strong performance in the automotive and professional/consumer audio markets. To
attain this, it will continue to seek growth through innovation, M&A activities, and sales of its globally renowned brands.

Harman is positioned to stay atop the automotive market and plans to continue to leverage its wide variety of brands to
outfit vehicles ranging from mass-market thorough to luxury models, while also maintaining the quality that is
synonymous with Harman brands. Additionally, Harman’s relentless pursuit of innovation in the audio and connectivity
spaces will help ensure the development of thriving relationships with automakers.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 32 / 261


Additionally, Harman has continued to develop its Connected Services business with industry leading OTA (Over the Air)
and software servicing products.

The same factors that Harman relies on within the automotive market will also be used in the professional/consumer audio
market. Having won three Grammy Awards and two Academy Awards, Harman’s brands have earned a strong reputation
amongst everyday consumers and audiophiles alike. New offerings in up-and-coming segments such as connected
wireless and smart audio continue to help bring in new consumers and further enhance brand reputation. Through these
and other efforts, the Company is confident that Harman will maintain its role as a preeminent player in all areas of its
business.

7. Financial risk management
A. Financial risk management policy
The Company’s financial risk management focuses on minimizing market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk arising from
operating activities. To mitigate these risks, the Company closely monitors each risk factor and operates corresponding
financial risk management policies and program. The Company’s use of derivative instruments for hedging specific risks
are included in this program.

The finance team mainly carries out the Company’s financial risk management. After implementing the global financial
risk management policies, the finance team periodically measures, evaluates, and hedges financial risks.

The Company manages global financial risks by operating local finance centers at each major region (United States,
United Kingdom, Singapore, China, Brazil, and Russia).

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

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 of each entity. Major currencies that are exposed to foreign exchange risk include USD,
EUR, JPY, INR, and other.

The Company focuses on minimizing the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation by maintaining the equal amount of
assets and liabilities denominated in each foreign currency, irrespective of foreign exchange fluctuation considerations. To
prevent 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
for the cash-in currency to be matched up with the cash-out currency.

In order to effectively manage foreign exchange risk, the Company prohibits foreign exchange transactions, with the
exception of transactions made for hedging purposes, and periodically monitors and evaluates exchange risk.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, when currency rates change by 5%, the impact on profit or loss (before income tax
effects) arising from financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than functional currency are as
follows:

Dec 31, 2019 Dec 31, 2018


(KRW mil) Increase Decrease Increase Decrease

USD 163,062 (163,062) 344,488 (344,488)


EUR 127,507 (127,507) (4,381) 4,381
JPY (23,062) 23,062 (13,001) 13,001
INR 64,153 (64,153) 92,176 (92,176)

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 44 / 261


(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, 2019, a price fluctuation in relation to marketable equity instruments (listed shares) by 1% would
result in changes in other comprehensive income (before income tax effects) of ₩ 41,055 million (December 31, 2018:
₩ 28,846 million), and in profit or loss (before income tax effects) of ₩ 1,630 million (December 31, 2018: ₩ 101
million).

(Interest rate risk)


Risk of changes in interest rates for floating interest rate financial instruments is defined as the risk that the fair value of
components of the consolidated statement of financial position, and future cash flows of interest income (expenses) of a
financial instrument, will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s position with regard to
interest rate risk exposure is mainly driven by its floating interest rate debt obligations and interest-bearing deposits. The
Company implemented policies and operates to minimize uncertainty arising from changes in interest rates and financial
expenses.

The Company maintains minimum external borrowings by facilitating cash pooling systems on a regional and global basis
to limit its exposure to the interest rate risk. The Company manages exposed interest rate risk via periodic monitoring and
handling risk factors on a timely basis.

As of December 31, 2019, changes in profit or loss (before income tax effects) as a result of a 1%p change in interest rates
on floating interest rate financial assets and liabilities are presented below:

Dec 31, 2019 Dec 31, 2018


(KRW mil) Increase Decrease Increase Decrease

Financial assets 70,183 (70,183) 64,704 (64,704)


Financial liabilities (2,118) 2,118 (91) 91
Net effect 68,065 (68,065) 64,613 (64,613)

(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 which have strong international credit rating (S&P A and above), and all new transactions with financial institutions
with no prior transaction history are approved, managed and monitored by the Company’s finance team and the local
finance center. 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.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company estimates that its maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying
amount of its financial assets, net of impairment losses.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 45 / 261


(3) Liquidity risk
Due to the nature of the Company’s business that requires making large investments, maintaining adequate level of
liquidity risk is crucial. The Company maintains and manages adequate level of liquidity by periodically forecasting its
capital balances, estimating required cash, managing income and expenses, and other.

The Company manages its liquidity risk in advance by periodically forecasting projected cash flows. The Company
facilitates and utilizes a globally integrated finance structure including regional Cash Pooling and other to provide
liquidity support. Also, when abnormalities are identified, the Company maintains a liquidity management process that
provides additional financial support in cooperation with the local finance center. The Cash Pooling program allows
sharing of surplus funds among entities and contributes to minimizing liquidity risk and strengthening the Company’s
competitive position by reducing capital operation expenses and financial expenses.

In addition, the Company mitigates liquidity risk by contracting with financial institutions with respect to foreign trade
finance and other, and by providing payment guarantees to subsidiaries to secure required credit limit. For large scale
facility investments, liquidity risk is minimized by utilizing internal reserves and long-term borrowings according to the
capital injection schedule.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the following table is an undiscounted cash flow analysis for financial liabilities
according to their remaining contractual maturity.

Dec 31, 2019


Less than 4–6 7–12 1–5 More than
(KRW mil) 3 months months months years 5 years

Financial liabilities \ 41,041,672 \ 655,089 \ 1,603,676 \ 4,241,964 \ 1,381,109

Financial liabilities \ 39,445,090 \ 628,582 \ 742,744 \ 3,547,498 \ 663,594

The table above shows the Company’s financial liabilities based on the remaining period at the consolidated statement of
financial position date until the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual
undiscounted cash flows.

The Company’s derivative financial liabilities of ₩ 63,496 million (December 31, 2018: ₩ 28,543 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 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 delivery of the underlying item, including derivatives for hedging, will be
settled within the next 31 months from the end of the reporting period. These derivative 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
guarantees for affiliated companies, performance bonds, and other) as of December 31, 2019 (December 31, 2018:
₩ 32,511 million).

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 46 / 261


(4) Capital risk
The purpose of capital management is to maintain a sound capital structure. The Company monitors capital on the basis of
the ratio of total liabilities to total equity. This ratio is calculated by dividing total liabilities by total equity in the
consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s capital risk management policy has not changed since the previous financial year. The Company has
maintained an AA- and Aa3 credit rating from S&P and Moody’s, respectively.

The total liabilities to equity ratios as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

(KRW mil)

Dec 31, 2019 Dec 31, 2018

Certain informat ion attached to the Korean language financial statements, but not required for a fair presentation of the Comp any’s
financial position, financial performance or cash flows, is not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements of the Co mpany presented have been prepared in accordance with Ko rean IFRS. These are
the standards, subsequent amendments and related interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
that have been adopted by the Republic of Korea.

Korean IFRS permits the use of crit ical accounting estimates in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and requires
management judgments in applying accounting policies. The areas involving a h igher degree of judg ment or co mplexity, or areas
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated 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 Co mpany applied the following amended and enacted standards for the first time fo r their annual period beginning on January
1, 2019:

- Enactment of Korean IFRS 1116 Leases

The Co mpany has applied Korean IFRS 1116 Leases on January 1, 2019, the date of initial applicat ion. In accordance with the
transitional provisions in Korean IFRS 1116 Leases, co mparative figures have not been restated. The impacts of the application of
Korean IFRS 1116 Leases on the consolidated financial statements are as follows.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 89 / 261


The Co mpany recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as
‘operating leases’ under the principles of the previous Korean IFRS 1017 Leases. As a result of applying the standard, on January 1,
2019, the date of in itial application, right-of-use assets and lease liab ilities increased by ₩ 2,774,982 million and ₩ 2,344,756
million, respectively, and details of lease liabilities are as follows:

(In millions of Korean won)

Financial lease liabilities as of December 31, 2018 ₩ 61,189


Adjustments in operating lease agreements as of January 1, 2019 2,344,756
Operating lease agreements as of December 31, 2018 2,785,140
Discounted operating lease agreements as of January 1, 2019 2,528,731
(Adjustments) Short-term lease and low value assets over which application exemption is applied (183,975)
Lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019 ₩ 2,405,945

- Amendments to Korean IFRS 1019 Employee Benefits

The amend ments require that an entity shall calculate current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period
after a plan amend ment, curtailment or settlement based on updated actuarial assumptions from the date of the change. The
amend ments also require that a reduction in a surplus must be recognized in profit or loss even if that surplus was not previously
recognized because of the impact of the asset ceiling. The amend ment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

- Amendments to Korean IFRS 1028 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures

The amendments clarify that an entity shall apply Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments to financial instruments in an associate
or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied. These include impairment of long-term interests that, in substance, form
part of the entity’s net investment in an associate or joint venture for wh ich Korean IFRS 1109 should take precedence. The
amendment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

- Enactment to Interpretation of Korean IFRS 2123 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

The Interpretation exp lains how to recognize and measure deferred and current inco me tax assets and liabilit ies where there is
uncertainty over a tax treat ment, and includes guidance on how to determine whether each uncertain tax t reat ment is considered
separately or together. It also presents examples of circu mstances where a judgement or estimate is required to be reassessed. The
enactment does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

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

The following are new and amended accounting standards issued that are not mandatory for the annual reporting p eriod
commencing January 1, 2019 and have not been early adopted by the Company.

- Amendments to Korean IFRS 1103 Business Combinations

To consider the integration of the required activities and assets as a business, the amended definition of a business requires an
acquisition to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs and
excludes economic benefits fro m the lower costs. An entity can apply a concentration test, an optional test, where substantially all
of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or a g roup of similar assets, the assets acquired wou ld not
represent a business. These amend ments should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and earlier
application is permitted.

2.3 Consolidation

The Co mpany prepares the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Ko rean IFRS 1110 Consolidated Financial
Statements.

(A) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entit ies (including special purpose entities) over which the Co mpany has control. The Co mpany controls the
corresponding investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the
ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins from the date the Company
obtains control of a subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary.

The Co mpany applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred is measured at the
fair values of the assets transferred, and identifiable assets acquired and liabilit ies and contingent liabilit ies assumed in a business
combination are in itially measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Co mpany recognizes any non-controlling int erest
in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis in the event of liquidation at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share
of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of consideration transferred, amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity and acquisition-date fair value
of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiab le assets acquired is recoded as goodwill.
If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiab le assets of the business acquired, the difference is recognized
directly in the profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

Balances of receivables and payables, income and expenses and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between the entities
within the Co mpany are eliminated. Accounting polies of subsidiaries are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the
policies adopted by the Company.

(B) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as
transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid an d the
relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals of
non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

(C) Disposal of subsidiaries

If the Co mpany loses control of a subsidiary, any investment continuously retained in the subsidiary is re-measured at its fair value
at the date when control is lost and any resulting differences are recognized in profit or loss. Such fair value becomes the initial
carrying amount for the subsequent measurement of the retained interest accounted for as an associate, joint venture, or financial
asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other co mprehensive income in respect of such entity are accounted for as
if the Co mpany had directly d isposed of the related assets or liabilities. As a result, the previously recognized other co mprehensive
income are reclassified into profit or loss or equity.

(D) Non-controlling interests

Each co mponent of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is attributed to owners of the parent and to non-controlling
interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to owners of the parent and to non-controlling interests even if this results in a
negative balance of non-controlling interests.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 91 / 261


(E) Associates

Associates are all entit ies over which the Co mpany has significant in fluence but does not have control, generally investees of which
fro m 20% to 50% of voting shares are owned by the Co mpany. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method
of accounting, after in itially being recognized at cost. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Co mpany and its associates are
eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the associates. If the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or
exceeds its interest in the associate (including long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Co mpany’s net investment in
the associate), the Co mpany discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the Co mpany’s interest is reduced to zero,
additional losses are provided for, and a liab ility is recognized, only to the extent that the Co mpany has incurred leg al or
constructive obligations or made pay ments on behalf of the associate. If there is an objective ev idence of impairment fo r the
investment in the associate, the Company recognizes the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its
carrying amount as impairment loss. If an associate uses accounting policies other than those of the Company for like transactions
and events in similar circu mstances, if necessary, adjustments shall be made to make the associate’s accounting policies conform to
those of the Company when the associate’s financial statements are used by the entity in applying the equity method.

(F) Joint arrangements

A joint arrangement of which t wo or mo re parties have joint control is classified as either a jo int operation or a joint venture. A joint
operator has rights to the assets, and obligations for the liab ilities, relat ing to the joint operation and recognizes the assets, liab ilities,
revenues and expenses relating to its interest in a joint operation. A joint venturer has rights to the net assets relating to the joint
venture and accounts for that investment using the equity method.

2.4 Foreign Currency Translation

(A) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of the Co mpany’s entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environ ment in which each entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are
presented in Korean won, which is the parent company’s functional and presentation currency.

(B) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the
transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such
transactions and fro m the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are recognized in profit or loss. Exchange differences arising on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equity
instruments at fair value through profit or loss and equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are
recognized in profit or loss and other comprehensive income, respectively, as part of the fair value gain or loss.

(C) Translation into the presentation currency

The results and financial position of all the foreign entities that have a functional currency different fro m the presentation currency
of the Company are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

 Assets and liabilities for each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the
end of the reporting date.
 Income and expenses for each consolidated statement of profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates, unless this
average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which
case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions.
 All resulting exchange differences 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 other short-term investment assets with high
liquidity that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

2.6 Financial Assets

(A) Classification

Fro m January 1, 2018, an in itial application date for Ko rean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments, the Co mpany classifies its financial
assets in the following measurement categories:

- Those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss).
- Those to be measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash
flows.

For financial assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the business model in which the investment is held. The Company
reclassifies debt investments only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trad ing, classification will depend on whether the Co mpany has made an
irrevocable elect ion at the time of init ial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive
income. Changes in fair value of the investments in equity instruments that are not elected to be accounted for as other
comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss.

(B) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Co mpany measures a financial asset, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss,
at its fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset or the issuance of the
financial liabilities. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.

Hybrid (co mbined) contracts with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows
are solely payment of principal and interest.

a) Debt Instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Company’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow
characteristics of the asset. The Company classifies its debt instruments into one of the following three measurement categories:

① Financial assets measured at amortized cost.

Assets that are held for collect ion of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and
interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is
not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income fro m
these financial assets is included in ‘financial income’ using the effective interest rate method.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 93 / 261


② Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flo ws and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows
represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other co mprehensive inco me. Movements in
the carrying amount are taken through other comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment loss (reversal of
impairment loss), interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial
asset is derecognized, the cumulat ive gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified fro m equity
to profit or loss. Interest income fro m these financial assets is included in ‘financial inco me’ using the effective interest rate method.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in ‘financial inco me’ or ‘financial expenses’ and impairment losses are presented
in ‘other non-operating expenses’.

③ Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

Assets that do not meet the criteria for amort ized cost or fair value through other co mprehensive inco me are measured at fair value
through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is
not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss within
‘other non-operating income’ or ‘other non-operating expenses’ in the year in which it arises.

b) Equity Instruments

The Co mpany subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Co mpany’s management has elected to present
fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair
value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. When the financial asset is derecognized, the
cumulat ive gain o r loss previously recognized in other co mp rehensive income is reclassified fro m equity to retained earnings.
Div idend inco me fro m such investments continue to be recognized in profit or loss as ‘other non-operating inco me’ when the right
to receive payments is established.

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in ‘other non-operating income’ or
‘other non-operating expenses’ in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as applicable.

(C) Impairment

The Co mpany assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at
amort ized cost and fair value through other comprehensive inco me. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there
has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Co mpany applies the simplified approach, which req uires
expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

(D) Recognition and Derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on trade-date, the date on which the Company
commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows fro m the financial
assets have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
If a transfer does not result in derecognition because the Co mpany has retained substantially all the risks and rewards of o wnership
of the transferred asset, the Company continues to recognize the transferred asset in its entirety and recognizes a financial liability
for the consideration received. The Co mpany classified the financial liab ility as ‘borro wings’ in the consolidated statement of
financial position.

(E) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of financial position where there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the
liab ility simu ltaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the
normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 94 / 261


2.7 Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for inventories sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If
collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If co llect ion is expected beyond one year, they are
presented as non-current assets. Trade receivables are recognized in itially at fair value and subsequently measured at amort ized cost
using the effective interest method, less loss allowance.

2.8 Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average cost method, except for
materials in transit. The cost of fin ished goods and work in p rogress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and
related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes costs of idle p lant and abnormal waste. Net
realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Inventories are reduced for the estimated losses arising from excess, obsolescence, and decline in value. This reduction is
determined by estimating market value based on future customer demand. Loss on valuation of inventories is recorded as a part of
cost of sales.

2.9 Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost
includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s
carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated
with the item will flo w to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carry ing amount of those parts that
are replaced is derecognized and repairs and maintenance expenses are recognized in profit or loss in the period they are incurred.

Depreciat ion on tangible assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the difference between their cost and their
residual values over their estimated useful lives. Land is not depreciated. Costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction or production of a qualify ing asset, including capitalized interest costs, form part of the cost of that asset and are
amortized over the estimated useful lives.

The Company’s policy is that property, plant and equipment should be depreciated over the following estimated useful lives:

Estimated useful lives


Buildings and structures 15, 30 years
M achinery and equipment 5 years
Other 5 years

The depreciation method, residual values and useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted if appro priate,
at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immed iately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparin g the
proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within the consolidated statement of profit or loss as part of ‘other non-
operating income’ or ‘other non-operating expenses’.

2.10 Borrowing Costs

General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset
are capitalized during the period of time that is required to comp lete and prepare the asset for its intended use. Investment income
earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the
borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 95 / 261


2.11 Intangible Assets

Goodwill rep resents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Co mpany’s share of the net identifiable assets
of the acquired subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and businesses at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on an acquisition of
subsidiaries’ businesses is included in intangible assets and goodwill on an acquisition of associates and joint ventures’ shares is
included in the investments in associates and joint ventures.

Intangible assets, except for goodwill, are in itially recognized at their h istorical cost and carried at cost less accumulated
amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

Internally generated development costs are the aggregate costs recognized after meet ing the asset recognition criteria, including
technical feasibility, and determined to have future economic benefits. Membership rights and certain trademarks are regard ed as
intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and not amortized because there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the
assets are expected to be utilized. Ho wever, the Co mpany records impairment based on its reasonable estimat ion of the benefits
associated with the membership rights and assessment of impairment indicators, such as a decline in the market value. Intangible
assets with definite useful lives such as trademarks, licenses, and other intangible assets, are amort ized using the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives.

The Company’s policy is that intangible assets should be amortized over the following estimated useful lives:

Estimated useful lives


Development costs 2 years
Trademarks, licenses and other intangible assets 3 - 25 years

2.12 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

Goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not subject to amort ization and are tested annually for impairment.
Assets that are subject to amortizat ion are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circu mstances indicate that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fo r
the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows
(cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of
the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 96 / 261


2.13 Financial Liabilities

(A) Classification and Measurement

The Co mpany shall classify all financial liabilities as financial liabilit ies measured subsequently at amortized cost, except fo r the
following:

- Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be
subsequently measured at fair value.
- Financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing
involvement approach applies. Such financial liabilities are measured based on the methodology described in Note 2.6
Financial Assets.
- Financial guarantee contracts. After initial recognition, an issuer of such a contract shall subsequently measure it at the higher
of:
(a) The amount of the loss allowance determined on lifetime expected credit losses.
(b) The amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with
the principles of Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
- Commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate. An issuer of such a commitment shall subsequently measure it
at the higher of:
(a) The amount of the loss allowance determined on lifetime expected credit losses.
(b) The amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with
the principles of Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
- Contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which Korean IFRS 1103 Business
Combinations applies. Such contingent consideration shall subsequently be measured at fair value with changes recognized in
profit or loss.

(B) Derecognition

Financial liab ilities are removed fro m the consolidated statement of financial position when it is extinguished; for examp le, when
the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired or when the terms of an existing financial liabilit y are
substantially mod ified. The difference between the carry ing amount of a financial liability ext inguished or transferred to an other
party and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

2.14 Trade Payables

Trade payables are amounts due to suppliers fo r inventories purchased or services received in the ord inary course of business. If
payment is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current liabilities. If payment is expected beyond one year, they are
presented as non-current liabilit ies. Non-current trade payables are recognized init ially at fair value and subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.15 Borrowings

Borro wings are recognized initially at fair value, net o f transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Any
difference between cost and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss over the period o f the
borrowings using the effective interest method. If the Co mpany has an indefinite right to defer payment for a period longer than 12
months after the end of the reporting date, such liabilit ies are recorded as non-current liab ilit ies, otherwise, they are record ed as
current liabilities.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 97 / 261


2.16 Provisions and Contingent Liabilities

A provision is recognized when the Co mpany has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliab le estimate can be
made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate
that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the
provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

When it is p robable that an outflow of economic benefits will occur due to a p resent obligation resulting fro m a past event, and the
amount is reasonably estimab le, a corresponding provision is recognized in the consolidated financial statements. However, when
such outflow is dependent upon a future event that is not certain to occur, or cannot be reliably estimated, a disclosure regardin g the
contingent liability is made in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

2.17 Employee Benefits

The Company has a variety of retirement pension plans including defined benefit and defined contribution plans.

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate fund. The
Co mpany has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all
emp loyees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. For defined contribution plans, the Company
pays contributions to annuity plans that are managed either publicly or p rivately on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The
Co mpany has no further future payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as
emp loyee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a
reduction in the future payments is available.

A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Typically defined benefit plans define an amou nt of
pension benefit that an emp loyee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service
and compensation. The liability (asset) recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position in respect to defined benefit
pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets.
The defined benefit obligation is calcu lated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present
value of the defined benefit ob ligation is determined by d iscounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-
quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity
approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation.

Actuarial gains and losses resulting fro m the changes in actuarial assumptions, and the differences between the previous actuarial
assumptions and what has actually occurred, are recognized in other co mprehensive income in the period in which they were
incurred. When plan amendments, curtailments and settlements occur, past service costs or gain or loss from settlement s are
immediately recognized in profit or loss.

2.18 Financial Guarantee Contract

Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified pay ments to reimburse the holder for a loss it
incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when due.

The liability is init ially measured at fair value, and then subsequently at the higher of the following and recognized in the
consolidated statements of financial position within ‘other financial liabilities’:

- the amount determined in accordance with the expected credit loss model under Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments and
- the amount initially recognized less, where appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with
Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 98 / 261


2.19 Current and Deferred Tax

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to
the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or d irect ly in equity. The tax expense is calculated on
the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognized for temporary d ifferences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts as expected tax consequences at the recovery or settlement of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities. Ho wever,
deferred tax assets and liab ilities are not recognized if they arise fro m init ial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other
than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax
assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temp orary
differences can be utilized.

A deferred tax liability is recognized for taxab le temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and
interests in joint ventures, except to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temp orary
difference and it is probable that the temporary d ifference will not reverse in the fo reseeable future. In addition, a deferred tax asset
is recognized for deductible temporary differences arising fro m such investments to the extent that it is probable the temporary
difference will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be
utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilit ies are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax
liab ilit ies and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilit ies relate to income taxes lev ied by the same taxation authority on
either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

2.20 Derivative Instruments

The Co mpany initially recognizes rights and obligations fro m derivative contracts as assets and liab ilit ies at fair value. Gain o r loss
arising fro m these contracts are recognized in profit or loss. Qualified hedged amount fro m cash flow hedge and hedge of a net
investment in a foreign operation is deferred in equity.

The Co mpany applies cash flow hedge accounting to hedge the price risk associated with inventory purchase and other. The
effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other
comprehensive income, and the ineffective portion is recognized in financial income or expenses.

2.21 Dividend

Dividend is recognized as a liability when approved by the Company’s shareholders.

2.22 Share Capital

Ordinary shares and preference shares with no repayment obligations are classified as equity. When the Company or a subsidiary
acquires the Co mpany’s ordinary shares, the acquisition costs, including d irect transaction costs, are deducted fro m equity unt il the
redemption or reissuance as treasury shares. Consideration received on the issuance of treasury shares is credited to equity
attributable to owners of the parent company.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 99 / 261


2.23 Revenue Recognition

Revenue mainly comp rises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods in the ordinary course of
the Co mpany’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, returns, sales incentives and discounts and after eliminating
intercompany transactions.

The Co mpany applied Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to the annual period beginning January 1, 2018.
The Co mpany shall recognize revenue in accordance with Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue fro m Contracts with Customers by app lying
the follo wing 5 steps: ① Identify the contracts with the customers, ② Identify the separate performance obligations, ③
Determine the transaction price of the contract, ④ Allocate the transaction price to each of the separate performance obligations,
and ⑤ Recognize the revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

(A) Identification of performance obligations

The Co mpany exports various products and merchandise in accordance with Incoterms Group C trading conditions (Incoterms CIF
and other). According to Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers since the seller provides the shipping service
after control of the product or merchandise has been transferred to the customer, the shipping service (including insurance) is
recognized as a separate performance obligation.

(B) A performance obligation is satisfied over time

The Co mpany delivers products to customers and installs them in accordance with the system air conditioner contracts awarded by
the Public Procurement Service. According to Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers the Company can
recognize revenue over time if the Co mpany creates or enhances an asset (for examp le, work in progress) that the customer co ntrols
as the asset is created or enhanced. The Company recognizes the revenue from system air conditioner installat ion over time as the
customer controls the outcome of the service.

(C) Variable consideration

The Co mpany estimates an amount of variable consideration by using the expected value which the Company expects to better
predict the amount of consideration. The Co mpany recognizes variable consideration only to the extent that it is highly pro bable
that a significant reversal in the amount of cumu lative revenue recognized will not occur when the refund period has lapsed. The
refund liability is measured at the amount of consideration received for which the Company does not expect to be entitled. The
Co mpany has a right to recover the product from the customer where the customer exercises his right of return and recognizes an
asset and a corresponding adjustment to cost of sales. The asset is measured by reference to the former carrying amount of the
product less the costs to recover the products.

(D) Allocation of the transaction price

The transaction price in an arrangement must be allocated to each separate performance obligation based on the relative standalone
selling prices of the goods or services being provided to a customer. The Company determines the standalone selling price for each
separate performance obligation by using methods such as the ‘adjusted market assessment approach’.

2.24 Leases

A lease is a contract, whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee, the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time
in exchange for consideration.

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. However, the Co mpany did not
reassess all contracts at init ial application o f Korean IFRS 1116 Leases because the Co mpany applied the pract ical exped ient to
contracts entered into before January 1, 2019.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 100 / 261


For a contract that is, or contains, a lease, both lessee and lessor account for each lease component within the contract as a lease
separately fro m non-lease co mponents of the contract. In lessee accounting, however, the Co mpany does not account them
separately but instead applies the practical expedient to account for each lease component and any associated non-lease components
as a single lease component.

(A) Lessee accounting

The Co mpany recognizes a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability
representing its obligation to make lease payments at the commencement date of the lease.

The right-of-use asset is measured at its cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accu mulated impairment loss with
adjustments reflected arising fro m remeasurements of the lease liab ility. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the
asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis fro m the co mmencement date of the lease and is classified as ‘p roperty,
plant and equipment’ in the consolidated financial statements.

At the commencement date, the lease liability is measured at present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. When
measuring the present value, the lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If such implicit rate
cannot be readily determined, the Co mpany uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The lease liab ility is subsequently
increased by the amount of interest expenses recognized on the lease liability and reduced by the lease payments made. Lease
liabilities are remeasured when the future lease payments are changed due to the following:

 Changes in an index or a rate


 Changes in amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
 Changes in the assessment of whether a purchase option or an option to renew is reasonably certain to be exercised, or
 Changes in the assessment of whether it is reasonably certain that an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised.

Lease liab ilities are classified as ‘current portion o f long-term liabilities’ o r ‘long-term borro wings’ in the consolidated financial
statements.

The Co mpany elected not to apply the requirements to short-term leases (i.e., a lease term of 12 months or less at the
commencement date) and low value assets (i.e. underlying assets below $ 5,000). In these cases, lease payments are charged to
profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of lease as a practical expedient.

(B) Lessor accounting

The accounting treatment as a lessor did not change significantly fro m the Korean IFRS 1116 Leases initially applied on January 1,
2019.

The Co mpany classifies a lease as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to o wnership at the
inception of the lease. A lease other than a finance lease is classified as an operating lease. Lease income fro m operating leases is
recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Init ial direct costs incurred by the lessor in negotiating and
arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term
on the same basis as the lease income.

2.25 Government Grants

Govern ment g rants are recognized at their fair values when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the
Co mpany will co mp ly with the conditions attached to it. Govern ment grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Govern ment grants relating to assets are recognized in liab ilit ies as deferred income govern ment grants, depreciated over the
expected lives of the related assets, and are credited to the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 101 / 261


2.26 Earnings per Share

Basic earn ings per share is calculated by dividing net profit for the period available to ordinary shareholders by the weig hted-
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by div iding the profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent co mpany fro m the
consolidated statements of profit or loss by the weighted-average number of o rdinary shares outstanding and potential d ilutive
shares. Potential dilutive shares are used in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share only when they have dilutive effects.

2.27 Reportable Segments

Reportable segments are disclosed in a manner consistent with the report ing provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The
chief operating decision-maker is responsible fo r making strategic decisions on resource allocation and assessing performance of
the reportable segments. The Management Co mmittee, wh ich makes strategic decisions, is regarded as the chief operating decision-
maker.

2.28 Convenience Translation into United States Dollar Amounts

The Co mpany operates primarily in Korean won and its official accounting records are maintained in Korean won. The US d ollar
amounts provided in the consolidated financial statements represent supplementary info rmation solely for the convenience of the
reader. All Korean won amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars at the rate of ₩ 1,165.46 to US $1, the average exchange rate for
the year ended December 31, 2019. 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 at any other rate.

2.29 Approval of the Consolidated Financial Statements

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on January 30, 2020.

3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The Co mpany makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The estimates and assumptions are continuously assessed,
considering historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under
the circu mstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definit ion, seldo m equal the related actual results. The estimates and
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year are addressed below.

(A) Revenue recognition

A refund liability and a right to the returned goods are recognized for the products expected to be returned at the time of sale.
Accumulated experience is used to estimate such returns at the time of sale at a portfo lio level (expected value method), an d the
Company’s revenue is affected by changes in expected return rate.

Sales of goods are recognized based on considerations specified in the contract, net of sales incentives, when control of the pro ducts
has transferred. The sales deduction, which affects the Company’s revenue, is reasonably estimated based on historical experience
and past contracts.

(B) Provision for warranty

The Co mpany recognizes provision for warranty on products sold. The Company accrues provision for warranty based on the best
estimate of amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims. The amounts are estimated based on past experience.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 102 / 261


(C) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using a variety of methods and
assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period.

(D) Impairment of financial assets

The loss allowance for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses
judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calcu lation based on the Co mpany’s past history,
existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

(E) Lease

In determining the lease term, the Co mpany considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an
extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in
the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the Co mpany becomes obliged to exercise (or not
exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only rev ised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances
occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.

(F) Net defined benefit liabilities (assets)

The net defined benefit liab ilities (assets) depend on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of
assumptions including the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carry ing amount of the net defined
benefit liab ility. The Co mpany, in consideration of the interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds, determines the appropriate
discount rate at the end of each year. Th is is the interest rate that is used to determine the present value of estimated future cash
outflows expected to be required to settle the net defined benefit liabilities (assets). The principal actuarial assumptions associated
with the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are based on the current market expectations.

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

At the end of each reporting period, the Co mpany tests whether goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life
have become impaired by co mparing the carrying amounts of assets or cash-generating units to the recoverable amounts. The
recoverable amounts of assets or cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calcu lations, and these
calculations are based on estimates.

(H) Income taxes

Income taxes on the Co mpany’s taxable inco me fro m operating activit ies are subject to various tax laws and determinations of each
tax authority across various countries throughout the world. There is uncertainty in determining the eventual tax effects on the
taxab le inco me fro m operating activ ities. The Co mpany has recognized current tax and deferred tax at the end of the fiscal year
based on the best estimation of future taxes payable as a result of operating activities. However, the resulting deferred inco me tax
assets and liabilit ies may not equal the actual future taxes payable and such difference may impact the current tax and deferred
income tax assets and liabilities upon the determination of eventual tax effects.

Regarding taxes payable in Korea, if a certain portion of taxable inco me is not used for investments or for increases in wages or
dividends, in accordance with the Tax System For Recirculation of Corporate Income, the Co mpany is liab le to pay additional
income tax calculated based on Korean tax law. The current and deferred tax at the end of the fiscal year are based on the best
estimation of future taxes payable, which can differ fro m actual future taxes payable as a result of changes in investments, wages
and dividends, and thus results in additional uncertainty in measuring the final tax effects.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 103 / 261


The Co mpany assesses uncertainty over a tax treat ment in accordance with Korean IFRS 1012 Income Taxes. When the Company
concludes it is not probable that the taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax t reatment, the Co mpany will reflect the effect of
uncertainty for each uncertain tax treat ment by using either of the following methods, depending on which method the Co mpany
expects to better predict the resolution of the uncertainty:

- The most likely amount: the single most likely amount in a range of possible outcomes.
- The expected value: the sum of the probability-weighted amounts in a range of possible outcomes.

On July 12, 2018, the Korea Securities and Futures Co mmission determined a first measure following an investigation relating to
Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd., an associate of the Co mpany, and its accounting for its investment in Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd, a
joint venture between Biogen Therapeutics Inc. and Samsung Biologics Co., Ltd. The first 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 ₩ 8,000 million, a reco mmendation to dismiss the
CEO, a requirement to restate its financial statements, and further prosecution charges.

Consequently, Samsung Biolog ics Co., Ltd. filed a suit for cancellation of the aforementioned measures to the Seoul Admin istrative
Court to suspend the execution of these measures, and the respective court has pronounced a decision to suspend these measures
until the final rulings on January 22, 2019 and Feb ruary 19, 2019, relat ing to the second and first measures, respectively. The Korea
Securities and Futures Co mmission immediately appealed against the decision to suspend execution, but on May 13, 2019 and May
24, 2019, relating to the second and first measures, respectively, the Court dismissed the Korea Securities and Futures
Co mmission’s appeal. The Korea Securit ies and Futures Co mmission has re-appealed on May 23, 2019 and June 10, 2019, relating
to the second and first measures, respectively. On September 6, 2019 and October 11, 2019, the Court dismissed the Korea
Securities and Futures Commission’s re-appeal, relating to the second and first measures, respectively.

Although the future outcome of the administrative lit igation 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 Co mpany’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 fro m 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 co mpletion and the final result of the administrative litigation between
Samsung Bio logics Co., Ltd. and the Korea Securit ies and Futures Co mmission 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.

30. Financial Risk Management

The Co mpany’s financial risk management focuses on minimizing market risk, cred it risk, and liquidity risk arising fro m operating
activities. To mit igate these risks, the Co mpany closely monitors each risk factor and operates corresponding financial risk
management policies and program. The Co mpany’s use of derivative instruments for hedging specific risks are included in this
program.

The finance team mainly carries out the Company’s financial risk management. After imp lementing the global financial risk
management policies, the finance team periodically measures, evaluates, and hedges financial risks.

The Co mpany manages global financial risks by operating local finance centers at each major region (United States, United
Kingdom, Singapore, China, Brazil, and Russia).

The Co mpany’s assets that are under financial risk management are co mprised of cash and cash equivalents, short-term financial
instruments, financial assets at amortized cost, trade receivables and other. The Co mpany’s liabilit ies under financial risk
management are comprised of trade payables, borrowings, and other.

(A) Market risk

(1) Foreign exchange risk

The Co mpany operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risks as it conducts transactions in currencies ot her
than the functional currency of each entity. Major currencies that are exposed to foreign exchange risk include USD, EUR, JPY,
INR, and other.

The Co mpany focuses on minimizing the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation by maintain ing the equal amount of assets and
liab ilit ies denominated in each foreign currency, irrespective of foreign exchange fluctuation considerations. To prevent
exchange position, the Co mpany’s foreign exchange management policy requires normal business transactions, including imp ort
and export, as well as financing transactions such as depositing and borrowing, to be in local currency or fo r the cash-in curren cy
to be matched up with the cash-out currency.

In order to effectively manage foreign exchange risk, the Co mpany prohibits foreign exchange transactions, with the exception of
transactions made for hedging purposes, and periodically monitors and evaluates exchange risk.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, when currency rates change by 5%, the impact on profit or loss (before income tax effects)
arising from financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than functional currency are as follows:

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018


(In millions of Korean won) Increase Decrease Increase Decrease

USD \ 163,062 \ (163,062) \ 344,488 \ (344,488)


EUR 127,507 (127,507) (4,381) 4,381
JPY (23,062) 23,062 (13,001) 13,001
INR 64,153 (64,153) 92,176 (92,176)

(2) Price risk

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

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 139 / 261


As of December 31, 2019, a price fluctuation in relation to marketable equity instruments (listed shares) by 1% would result in
changes in other comprehensive income (before inco me tax effects) of ₩ 41,055 million (December 31, 2018: ₩ 28,846
million), and in profit or loss (before income tax effects) of ₩ 1,630 million (December 31, 2018: ₩ 101 million).

(3) Interest rate risk

Risk of changes in interest rates for floating interest rate financial instruments is defined as the risk that the fair value of
components of the consolidated statement of financial position, and future cash flows of interest inco me (expenses) of a financial
instrument, will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Co mpany’s position with regard to interest rate risk
exposure is mainly driven by its floating interest rate debt obligations and interest-bearing deposits. The Company implemented
policies and operates to minimize uncertainty arising from changes in interest rates and financial expenses.

The Co mpany maintains min imu m external borrowings by facilitating cash pooling systems on a regional and global basis to
limit its exposure to the interest rate risk. The Co mpany manages exposed interest rate risk via periodic monitoring and handling
risk factors on a timely basis.

As of December 31, 2019, changes in profit or loss (before income tax effects) as a result of a 1%p change in interest rates on
floating interest rate financial assets and liabilities are presented below:

December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018


(In millions of Korean won) Increase Decrease Increase Decrease

Financial assets \ 70,183 \ (70,183) \ 64,704 \ (64,704)


Financial liabilities (2,118) 2,118 (91) 91
Net effect \ 68,065 \ (68,065) \ 64,613 \ (64,613)

(B) Credit risk

Cred it risk arises during the normal course of transactions and investing activities where clients or other parties fail to discharge an
obligation. The Co mpany sets and manages the client’s and counterparty’s credit limit, and evaluates their financial cred it rat ing 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.

Cred it risk can arise fro m t ransactions with financial institutions which include financial instrument transactions such as cash and
cash equivalents, savings, and derivative instruments. To min imize such risk, the Co mpany transacts only with banks which have
strong international credit rat ing (S&P A and above), and all new transactions with financial institutions with no prior t ransaction
history are approved, managed and monitored by the Co mpany’s finance team and the local finance center. The Co mpany 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.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Co mpany estimates that its maximu m exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of its
financial assets, net of impairment losses.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 140 / 261


(C) Liquidity risk

Due to the nature of the Co mpany’s business that requires making large investments, maintaining adequate level o f liquidity risk is
crucial. The Co mpany maintains and manages adequate level of liquidity by periodically forecasting its capital balances, estimating
required cash, managing income and expenses, and other.

The Co mpany manages its liquidity risk in advance by periodically forecasting projected cash flows. The Co mpany facilitates and
utilizes a globally integrated finance structure including regional Cash Pooling and other to provide liqu idity support. Also, when
abnormalities are identified, the Co mpany maintains a liquid ity management process that provides additional financial support in
cooperation with the local finance center. The Cash Pooling program allows sharing of surplus funds among entities and contributes
to minimizing liquid ity risk and strengthening the Company’s competitive position by reducing capital operation expenses and
financial expenses.

In addition, the Co mpany mitigates liquidity risk by contracting with financial institutions with respect to foreign trade finance and
other, and by providing payment guarantees to subsidiaries to secure required credit limit . For large scale facility investments,
liquidity risk is minimized by utilizing internal reserves and long-term borrowings according to the capital injection schedule.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the following table is an undiscounted cash flow analysis for financial liabilit ies according to
their remaining contractual maturity.

position date until the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

The Co mpany’s derivative financial liabilit ies of ₩ 63,496 million (December 31, 2018: ₩ 28,543 million) has been included
within the less than 3 months bucket. These are the Co mpany’s trading portfolio of derivative instruments, on a net settlement t erm,
of which the contractual maturit ies are not essential for understanding its cash flows. These contracts are managed on a net fair
value basis rather than by maturity date. Net settled derivatives consist of forwards on currency rates used by the Co mpany to
manage the exchange rate profile.

Derivatives that are settled on a gross basis by delivery of the underly ing item, including derivatives for hedging, will be settled
within the next 31 months from the end of the reporting period. These derivative are not included in the table above.

and gains reclassified fro m other co mprehensive inco me to the carrying amount of inventory amount to ₩ 30,786 million (after
tax).

(E) Capital risk management

The purpose of capital management is to maintain a sound capital structure. The Co mpany monitors capital on the basis of the ratio
of total liabilities to total equity. This ratio is calculated by dividing total liabilit ies by total equity in the consolidated financial
statements.

The Co mpany’s capital risk management policy has not changed since the previous financial year. The Co mpany has maintain ed an
AA- and Aa3 credit rating from S&P and Moody’s, respectively.

Long-term other payables - - 13,417 13,417
Other - 41,639 1,085 42,723

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 consolidated statement of
financial position date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available fro m an exchange, d ealer,
broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market
transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Co mpany is the current bid price.
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 instru ments 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 it is 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 Co mpany performs the fair value measurements required for financial reporting purposes, including Level 3 fair values and
discusses valuation processes and results at least once every quarter in line with the Co mpany’s quarterly reporting dates. The
Co mpany’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period, if corresponding events or changes in
circumstances have occurred.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 144 / 261


Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

ㆍ Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments


ㆍ The fair value o f forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the consolidated statement
of financial position date, with the resulting value discounted back to present value

Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis, are used to determine fair value for the remain ing financial instruments.
For trade and other receivables that are classified as current assets, the carrying amount approximates a reasonable estimate of fair
value.

(3) Valuation technique and the inputs

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

The following table presents the valuation techniques and the inputs used for major financial instruments classified as 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 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 most unfavorable.

The results of the sensitivity analysis for the effect on profit or loss (before income tax effects for other comprehensive income or
loss) fro m changes in inputs for major financial instruments which are classified as Level 3 and subject to sensitivity analysis, are as

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%

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 159 / 261


(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 collection agency gives as notice that collection is not possible.
ㆍ When the collateral is sold or insurance is received.
ㆍ The collection expenses exceed the amount of receivables.

2. Overview
The business environment remained challenging in 2019 as a slowdown in developed markets weighed on the global
economy, while uncertainties such as a US-China trade conflict intensified.

Despite the formidable economic conditions, the support of our shareholders and hard work of our employees enabled
Samsung Electronics in 2019 to achieve total revenue of 230 trillion won and operating profit of 28 trillion won on a
consolidated basis, and total revenue of 155 trillion won and operating profit of 14 trillion won on a parent basis.

Our financial structure remained sound—we recorded a debt ratio of 34.1%, capital adequacy ratio of 74.6%, and ROE of
8.5% on a consolidated basis. On a parent basis, the respective figures were 21.5%, 82.3%, and 8.8%. Our brand value in
2019 was evaluated at USD 61.1 billion (Interbrand; October 2019), up 2% from last year’s figure and maintaining its
position as the world’s sixth most valuable brand.

On the business side, we further strengthened profitability and cost competitiveness of the component business, extending
our capabilities in core technologies to include the world’s first mass production of 6th generation V-NAND. In addition,
we solidified our industry and market leadership by launching the Galaxy S10 and Note10 while expanding sales of ultra-
large QLED TVs.

In 2020, we expect the external environment to remain difficult: macro uncertainties such as trade conflicts, political
unrest, and COVID-19 are likely to persist, while intensifying competition for our main products amid a rapidly changing
paradigm in the IT industry will present numerous hurdles. As always, we plan to face challenges head on and use our
meticulous preparation to turn them into opportunities.

(IM Division)
The IM division's revenue in 2019 was KRW 107.2662 trillion, an increase of KRW 6.5885 trillion (6.5%) compared to
the previous year, while operating profit decreased by KRW 0.8995 trillion (8.8%) to KRW 9.2725 trillion. Although
smartphone sales rose, operating profit declined due to intense competition in the mid-range-and-below segment.

Despite rapidly developing technologies and mounting global uncertainties, the IM Division achieved solid results by
adopting new technologies and strengthening our lineup, focusing mainly the Galaxy Series, our premium models.

Starting with the April 2019 launch of the Galaxy S10 5G, the world's first 5G smartphone, we quickly addressed the
initial stages of the 5G market by introducing a number of 5G models. In the second half of the year, we opened a new
chapter in the mobile experience by releasing an innovative form factor, the Galaxy Fold. In addition, we enhanced our
product competitiveness by revamping our mass-market lineup, mainly the A Series, a move that was well received by the
market and contributed to bolstering business efficiency.

In 2020, aiming to lead market changes amid fierce competition, we will differentiate our premium products by expanding
our 5G lineup and diversifying foldable designs. We will also quickly embrace state-of-the-art technologies to keep

smartphones, wearables, PCs, and tablets.

(Semiconductor)
The semiconductor business's 2019 revenue decreased by KRW 21.3519 trillion (24.7%) from the previous year to KRW
64.9391 trillion due to soft component demand, including that for memory, and price declines amid an overall weak
business environment. Operating profit decreased by KRW 30.5576 trillion (68.6%) to KRW 14.0163 trillion year-on-year.

In the memory business, growth slowed slightly due to shrinking mobile demand caused by a sluggish smartphone market
and contracting tablet market. However, we expect demand to rebound with the creation of new markets in areas such as
IoT and automotives. Supply and demand are likely to show less volatility than they had previously, backed by a
diversifying demand base.

For DRAM, weakness in 2019 caused by inventory adjustments mainly at data centers is forecast to turn around, as
normalizing inventories in the industry contribute to an overall demand recovery in 2020. Although external factors,
including trade conflicts, are likely to exacerbate uncertainties, we will strive to increase our market share via timely
responses to the expansion of 5G smartphones and by securing an early foothold in the CPU high-capacity market.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 174 / 261


For NAND, a trend toward high-capacity, high-performance chips for server SSD and mobile storage is expected to
continue and contribute to positive business conditions. As we expect the memory market to remain solid, we will
improve our performance by expanding sales of our differentiated products based on advanced node processes as well as
our high-performance, high-bandwidth products.

System LSI continues to grow, mainly led by demand from mobile products such as smartphones and tablets. We expect
demand to remain solid as new markets in IoT, wearable devices, and automotives expand.

For SoC products, growth will probably be limited by a lengthening replacement period of smartphones. That said,

offering products for low-end to mid-range mobile devices through to high-performance AP-modem integrated chips,
while also developing a multi-mode modem that supports 2G through 5G networks. We will strive to keep providing
solutions that satisfy our customers' needs in image sensors, as shown in the introduction of the industry's first 100Mp
product, based on ISOCELL technology, which minimizes optical loss and light reflection.

In the first half of 2019, Foundry successfully showcased 7-nano EUV chips, a world first. In 2020, we will continue
development of advanced node processes including 4- and 5-nano as well as next generation GAA 3-nano technology in a
timely manner to lead the market.

(DP)
The DP division's sales and profitability worsened in 2019 as revenue decreased by KRW 1.4111 trillion (4.3%) from the
previous year to KRW 31.0539 trillion. Operating profit decreased as well, slipping KRW 1.0385 trillion (39.6%) from the
previous year to KRW 1.5813 trillion.

In mobile display, market uncertainties were aggravated by rising competition resulting from expanding capacity in the
industry. Yet, we solidified our position in the smartphone panel market by increasing our customer base thanks to our
continuous efforts to offer differentiated technology.

In 2020, amid accelerating penetration of 5G smartphones, we will continue to improve the basic features of OLED panels
as smartphone makers are likely to increasingly adopt the technology in their growing number of 5G models for
advantages such as power efficiency and ultra-thin design. We will also use our differentiated technology to expand our
customer base. Moreover, we will secure technologies needed to increase accessibility of foldable products and enhance
product quality through cooperation with our clients.

In large displays, we increased the sales portion of our value-added products and bolstered efforts to improve both yield
and cost efficiency amid intensifying competition in the industry.

In 2020, we expect market demand to be stagnant, while supply has potential to keep rising due to expansion of ultra-large
lines at Chinese players, among other uncertainties. Against this backdrop, we will drive growth by adopting advanced,
differentiated technology, marked by the introduction of premium products such as ultra-large, ultra-high resolution panels,
and by expanding sales of value-added products.

(Harman Division)
The Harman Division delivered improved revenue and profitability year-on-year, with revenue rising KRW 1.2334 trillion
(13.9%) to KRW 10.0771 trillion and operating profit increasing KRW 0.1606 trillion (99.3%) to KRW 0.3223 trillion.

Harman is working to continue its outstanding performance in automotive components and in the professional and
consumer audio markets. To do so, we constantly strive to enhance our competitiveness through innovations, strategic
mergers and acquisitions, and offerings of a variety of brands and product groups.

As a leader in the car component market, we will continue to supply the quality made famous by the Harman brand across
all segments, ranging from the mass-market through to and beyond premium models. In areas of automotive audio and
connectivity, we will seek co-prosperity with auto manufacturers by delivering endless innovation.

Sam sung Electronics Business Report 175 / 261


In the consumer audio market, Harman's innovative technologies have firmly established the brand's reputation among
consumers and music lovers. We will continue to launch products in promising areas, such as wireless smart speakers, to
deliver new user experiences, improving our performance and pushing our brand reputation even higher.

We expect the business environment in 2020 to remain clouded by external uncertainties and intense competition. We plan
to face such challenges head on and keep preparing thoroughly for the future, which includes improving our mainstay
businesses and building core capabilities in new areas such as AI and autonomous driving. Through these efforts, we will
achieve solid earnings and, in turn, contribute to enhancing shareholder value.

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, Euro, Japanese yen and Indian rupee.
(KRW)
Currency 2019 2018 Change Change (%)
USD 1,157.80 1,118.10 39.70 3.60%
EUR 1,297.43 1,279.16 18.27 1.40%

JPY 10.63 10.13 0.50 4.90%

INR 16.23 15.99 0.24 1.50%

As of December 31, 2019, 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:

Dec 31, 2019 Dec 31, 2018


(KRW mil) Increase Decrease Increase Decrease

USD 163,062 -163,062 344,488 -344,488


EUR 127,507 -127,507 -4,381 4,381
JPY -23,062 23,062 -13,001 13,001
INR 64,153 -64,153 92,176 -92,176

To minimize foreign exchange risk arising from operating activities, the Company maintains the same level of equity and
liability in each currency regardless of foreign exchange fluctuations. The Company’s foreign exchange management
policy requires normal business transactions (including imports and exports) to be conducted in the local currency or for
the cash-in currency to be matched with the cash-out currency.

The Company effectively manages its foreign exchange risk by regular monitoring foreign exchange rates and limits all
foreign exchange transactions besides the purpose of hedging risks.

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 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 losses in 2019 reached KRW 93.6 billion for tangible assets and KRW
48.7 billion for intangible assets.

Refer to 『E. Equity Investments in other corporations』 of 『IX. Affiliates and Subsidiaries』 for more details about asset
impairment loss.

4. Liquidity, financing, and expenditure
Due to large investments made by the Company, maintaining adequate levels of liquidity is critical. The Company strives
to achieve this goal by periodically forecasting its cash flow, estimating required cash levels, and managing income and
expenses.

The Company provides liquidity support by utilizing its globally integrated finance structures, such as through cash
pooling by region. In addition, the Company maintains a liquidity management process which provides additional
financial support through local finance centers if abnormal signs are identified. The cash pooling program allows sharing
of surplus funds among entities and contributes to minimizing liquidity risk and strengthening the Company’s competitive
position by reducing capital operating expenses and finance expenses.

In addition, the Company mitigates liquidity risk by contracting with financial institutions with respect to foreign trade
finance and by providing payment guarantees to subsidiaries. For large scale facility investments, liquidity risk is
minimized by utilizing internal reserves and long term borrowings.

Samsung is adapting to the 5G market by quickly releasing products like the Galaxy S10 5G, the world's first 5G smartphone, and expanding their 5G product lineup actively in the mid-range market by introducing advanced features generally reserved for premium products. They plan to improve their competitive edge by integrating 5G technology with AI and IoT, extending beyond smartphones to encompass other smart devices .

In 2019, Samsung's financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income increased from KRW 7,301,351 million to KRW 8,920,712 million, reflecting a fair value gain of KRW 1,497,600 million. Similarly, financial assets valued through profit or loss saw their value rise from KRW 775,427 million to KRW 1,049,004 million, due to market valuation gains of KRW 200,533 million. These valuation changes positively impacted the comprehensive income, reflecting better performance in the financial markets, although other fluctuations in the markets could pose risks .

Samsung's emphasis on larger smartphone screens likely contributes to the stagnation of tablet shipments, which are expected to remain flat at 160 million units. As smartphones incorporate features traditionally unique to tablets such as larger screens, the gap between these products blurs, possibly leading consumers to favor high-functionality smartphones over tablets for their convenience and versatility .

The Harman Division is integral to Samsung's strategy, contributing to their automotive components and audio markets. In 2019, Harman's revenue increased by 13.9% to KRW 10.0771 trillion, and operating profit rose by 99.3% to KRW 0.3223 trillion. This growth underscores their success in the market and highlights their focus on maintaining leadership through innovation, strategic M&A, and competitive offerings in automotive and audio segments .

Samsung's remuneration policy for directors includes salary, bonuses, and long-term incentives, determined according to their position, responsibilities, and performance results. Bonuses are tied to traditional holiday bonuses, target achievement incentives based on the level of targets met, and performance incentives paid when company goals are exceeded. Long-term incentives depend on metrics like ROI, EBIT margin, and stock performance, with qualitative measures such as divisional sales and market leadership contributing to the determination of bonus amounts .

By incorporating Bixby into an array of products such as TVs, refrigerators, and air conditioners, they aim to elevate convenience and personalization, thus strengthening their ecosystem and ensuring a consistent multi-device experience .

In 2019, Samsung's semiconductor business faced revenue declines due to soft demand for memory components and price drops amid a weak market environment, causing a 24.7% decrease in revenue. To address these challenges, Samsung expects a demand rebound in new markets like IoT and automotive, while reducing volatility through diversified demand. The company is responding to shrinking mobile demand with high-capacity, high-performance storage and plans to capitalize on the 5G expansion by securing a lead in high-capacity CPU markets .

Samsung is adapting its semiconductor products to meet growing IoT and automotive demands by ensuring a steady supply of high-performance, high-capacity chips essential for these markets. They emphasize the diversification of high-bandwidth products and leverage their advanced node processes. Furthermore, by securing a leadership role in 5G technology, Samsung is positioned to support connectivity essential to IoT and automotive applications .

Samsung’s strategic R&D investments are focused on emerging technologies like 5G, AI, IoT, and mobile B2B, which are crucial for future growth in an evolving digital landscape. By leveraging their strong R&D capabilities, Samsung aims to drive innovation in consumer experiences and broaden global market leadership. These investments are part of their strategy to anticipate market shifts and maintain a competitive edge in cutting-edge technological developments .
