Business

 

  A.

Business overview

We were incorporated in February 1985 under the laws of the Republic of Korea. LG Electronics and LG Semicon transferred their respective LCD business to us in 1998, and since then, our business has been focused on the research, development, manufacture and sale of products that apply display technologies such as OLED and TFT-LCD. Sorting by major sales product category, television, IT products and mobile and other products accounted for 28%, 47% and 25% of our total sales, respectively, in the first half of 2022. Our customers primarily consist of global set makers, and our top ten customers comprised 84% of our total sales revenue in the first half of 2022. As a company focused on exports, our overseas sales accounted for approximately 97% of our total sales in the first half of 2022. We provide close local support through our overseas sales subsidiaries located in the United States, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, China and Singapore.

We operate key production facilities in Korea, China and Vietnam, and as of June 30, 2022, our production capacity was approximately 4.4 million glass sheets per year, as converted into eighth-generation sheets (2200x2500mm). In order to expand our production capacity of differentiated and competitive products such as OLED panels, our total capital expenditures on a cash out basis was around W3.2 trillion in 2021, and we plan to make investments within our depreciation and amortization costs in 2022 while focusing on enhancing our business structure and preparing for the future. The major raw materials for display panel production include glass, semiconductors, polarizers, organic matter, backlight units (“BLU”) and printed circuit boards (“PCB”), and the prices of major raw materials may fluctuate as a result of supply and demand in the market as well as changes in our purchase quantity.

As securing production capacity through large scale investments in the display industry requires a long period of time, panel prices may fluctuate due to the imbalance between the increase in production capacity and growth in demand. The sales performance of industry players is differentiated by not only the production capacity of each company but also other competitive differences arising from factors including technology, product development capability, manufacturing efficiency, quality control and customer relationships, along with the price differentiation incorporating such factors. In addition, given the high proportion of our sales overseas, our sales of display panels are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars whereas our purchases of raw materials are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan. Accordingly, our profit margins may be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the currencies. We strive to minimize the risk relating to foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and operating cash flow due to exchange rate fluctuations.

Our research and development expenses represent approximately 9% of our sales, and we are continually creating customer value through systematic R&D activities for new products and technologies. Leveraging our competitive R&D activities, we are leading the display market by providing differentiated values in display panel products utilizing our OLED and TFT-LCD technologies for various uses including television, IT and mobile products, as well as automobiles and industrial uses.

Industry

 

  (1)

Industry characteristics

 

   

From the supply perspective, the display panel industry is technology- and capital-intensive in nature and requires mass production through achieving an economy of scale.

 

   

From the demand perspective, the display panel industry tends to demonstrate a high level of volatility depending on the global macroeconomic conditions, major regional sales events and/or seasonal factors.

 

7


Table of Contents
 

Despite the gradual transition from various restrictions under the COVID-19 pandemic and an increasing uncertainty in the global macroeconomic environment, the high-end product market is structurally expanding to meet the segmented needs and lifestyle changes of consumers.

 

 

The market for high-end television display panels is expected to sustain itself in light of continued consumer preference for large-sized panels and customized products. We also anticipate a gradual growth in the market for high value-added product segments such as display panels for commercial uses.

 

 

The market for traditional IT products such as laptops and desktop monitors, as well as demand for new offerings such as gaming and portable products, is expected to maintain in a stable manner due to sustained lifestyle changes, including partially remote work arrangements and education resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

 

The market for products using plastic OLED products is growing due to increased use of smartphones for mobile contents and gaming purposes with the development of 5G communication infrastructure, as well as evolutions in form factors such as foldable smartphones.

 

  (2)

Growth Potential

 

 

We are strengthening our business base with a focus on customer value and developing new markets under our strategic plan to transition our business to center around OLED, which has a strong future growth potential. With respect to large-sized display panels, we are focusing on securing OLED dominance in the market through differentiated products such as “OLED.EX”, “Cinematic Sound” OLED and “Wallpaper” display panels while leading the expansion into new business areas, such as transparent OLED display panels and gaming display panels. In the small-sized display panel business, we are further expanding our production capacity by securing stable operating capabilities for 6th generation plastic OLED smartphone displays while continuing to grow our small- and medium-sized OLED business in other product lines, including automotive display panels. Furthermore, in the medium-sized display panel business, we are increasing the proportion of premium products such as high resolution and wide screen products based on IPS and Oxide technologies.

 

  (3)

Cyclicality

 

 

The display panel business is characterized by being highly cyclical and sensitive to fluctuations in the general economy. The industry experiences recurring volatility caused by imbalances between supply and demand due to capacity expansion and changing production utilization rates within the industry.

 

 

Macroeconomic factors and other causes of business cycles can affect the rate of growth in demand for display panels. Accordingly, if supply exceeds demand, average selling prices of display panels may decrease. Conversely, if growth in demand outpaces growth in supply, average selling prices may increase.

 

  (4)

Market conditions

 

 

Most display panel manufacturers are located in Asia as set forth below. Competition in the TFT-LCD sector is intensifying amid active investments in new fabrication facilities led by Chinese panel manufacturers and their expanding level of dominance in the sector. In response, Korean panel manufacturers are continuing their efforts to maintain their market leadership and differentiate themselves by transitioning their business focus to OLED products and upgrading their TFT-LCD businesses.

Competitiveness and competitive advantages

 

   

Our ability to compete successfully depends on factors both within and outside our control, including the development of new and premium products through technological advances, timely investments based on visibility of profitability, adaptable product portfolio and flexible fabrication mix, achievement of competitive production costs through enhancing productivity and managing supply costs of components and raw materials, our relationship with customers, success in marketing to our end-brand customers, general economic and industry conditions and foreign exchange rates.

 

   

In order for us to compete effectively, it is critical to offer differentiated products that enable us to secure profit margins even during times of a mismatch in the market supply and demand, to be price- and cost-competitive and to maintain stable relationships with customers.

 

   

A substantial portion of our sales is attributable to a limited number of end-brand customers and their designated system integrators. As such, it is important to build a sustained relationship with such customers.

 

   

Developing new products and technologies that can be differentiated from those of our competitors is critical to the success of our business. It is important that we take active measures to protect our intellectual property internationally. It is also necessary to recruit and retain experienced key managerial personnel and skilled line operators.

 

   

As a leading technology innovator in the display industry, we continue to focus on delivering differentiated value to our customers by developing various technologies and products, including display panels with WOLED/POLED, IPS, Oxide, in-TOUCH and other technologies. With respect to OLED panels, following our supply of the world’s first 55-inch OLED panels for televisions in January 2013, we have shown that we are technologically a step ahead of the competition by continuing to enhance the performance of our WOLED products and to offer differentiated large-sized OLED products such as our “Transparent,” “Cinematic Sound,” “Bendable,” “Rollable” and “Gaming” large-sized OLED. Moreover, we have continually introduced differentiated plastic OLED products for smartphones, automotive products, wearable devices and foldable notebook computers, among others. With respect to TFT-LCD panels, we are leading the market with our competitive advantages in technology, including through our IPS, Oxide and LTPS technology-based ultra-large and ultra-high definition (“Ultra HD” or “UHD”) television panels, desktop and notebook monitors featuring high resolutions, differentiated designs and high frequency refresh rates, and specialized products for automotive, commercial and medical uses. Our production facilities are also equipped to produce products incorporating in-TOUCH technology.

Average selling price trend of major products

The average selling prices of display panels are subject to change based on market conditions and demand by product category. The average selling price of display panels per square meter of net display area shipped in the second quarter of 2022 decreased by approximately 14% compared to the first quarter of 2022 due to a decrease in shipments of plastic OLED smartphone products from seasonal fluctuations as well as a continued decline in the prices of LCD panels. The average selling prices of display panels per square meter of net display area may continually fluctuate in the future due to changes in market conditions.

Sales strategy

 

   

As part of our sales strategy for IT products, we have secured stable sales to major personal computer manufacturers and leading consumer electronics manufacturers globally.

 

   

With respect to television products, we are leading the premium television market with our OLED televisions and have distinguished ourselves from our competitors by developing unique OLED designs and implementing additional technologies (such as Wallpaper, Cinematic Sound, Rollable).

 

   

We are also continually strengthening the sales of high-resolution, IPS, narrow bezel and other high-end display panels for monitors, notebook computers and tablets.

 

   

With respect to smartphones, commercial products (including interactive whiteboards and video wall displays, among others), industrial products (including aviation and medical equipment, among others) and automobile display products, we have continued to build a strong and diversified business portfolio by expanding our business with customers with a global reach on the strength of our differentiated products applying IPS, plastic OLED, high-resolution, high-reliability, Super Narrow bezel, in-TOUCH and other technologies.

 

  E.

Major customers

 

   

Customers “A,” “B” and “C” each accounted for more than 10% of our sales revenue in each of the first half of 2021 and 2022, and our sales revenue derived from our top ten customers comprised 85% of our total sales revenue in the first half of 2021 and 84% in the first half of 2022.

Purchase Orders

 

   

We do not have purchase order contracts that recognize unbilled revenue by implementing the cost-based method.

 

7.

Risk Management and Derivative Contracts

 

  A.

Risk management

 

  (1)

Major market risks

Our business is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Accordingly, we operate a risk management system that identifies and analyzes these risks while monitoring and managing risk level by establishing appropriate risk controls in order to ensure that such risks do not exceed certain threshold levels.

Market risk refers to the risk that income from the financial instruments that we hold or the fair value of such financial instruments will fluctuate due to fluctuations in market prices, such as exchange rates, interest rates and prices of equity securities. The objective of our market risk management system is to manage and control our exposure to market risk within an acceptable level while optimizing our profit levels.

 

14


Table of Contents
  (2)

Risk management method

As the average selling prices of OLED and TFT-LCD panels can continue to decline over time irrespective of industry-wide cyclical fluctuations, we may find it hard to manage risks associated with certain factors that are outside our control. However, we counteract such declines in average selling prices by increasing the proportion of high value added panels in our product mix while also implementing various cost reduction measures.

In addition, in order to manage our risk against foreign currency fluctuations, we eliminate such risk by adopting a policy of maintaining our net exposure risk within an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates, when necessary, to address short-term imbalances in the inflow and outflow of foreign currency funds. We also continually monitor our currency position and risk for other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and when needed, we may from time to time enter into cross-currency interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts. Furthermore, we have adopted a policy aimed at minimizing uncertainty and financial costs arising from interest rate fluctuations and manage our interest rate risk through periodic monitoring of interest rate trends and adoption of appropriate countermeasures.

 

  B.

Derivative contracts

 

  (1)

Currency risks

 

   

We are exposed to currency risks on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than in Won, our functional currency. These currencies are primarily the U.S. dollar, the Chinese Yuan and the Japanese Yen.

 

   

Interest on borrowings is denominated in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by our underlying operations, primarily in Won, the U.S. dollar and the Chinese Yuan.

 

   

As of the end of the reporting period, we have entered into a forward currency contract with a short U.S. dollar position in order to hedge the risk of fluctuations in future cash flows resulting from exchange rate fluctuations in expected export transactions. In the valuation gains and losses of derivative contracts to which we apply cash flow hedge accounting, there is no ineffective portion, the valuation gain of the effective portion was Won 188 million and the valuation loss of the effective portion was Won 70,645 million (contracted amount: $1,200 million, contracted exchange rate: Won 1,191.0 ~ 1,293.4), which is reflected as part of our accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, in relation to cash flow hedging, the maximum expected period of exposure to cash flow fluctuation risk due to the expected transaction to be hedged is six months from the end of this reporting period. The amount transferred from other components of equity to profit or loss (product revenue) during the reporting period due to the realization of the anticipated export transaction was Won 69,285 million.

 

   

As of the end of the reporting period, in order to avoid risks of interest rate fluctuations and exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency denominated borrowings with floating interest rates, we entered into an aggregate of $2,190 million in Won/US dollar cross currency swap agreements with Standard Chartered Bank and others, for which we have not applied hedge accounting.

 

   

Any rights or obligations arising from derivative contracts that do not apply hedge accounting are measured at fair value and are accounted for as assets and liabilities, whereas any resulting valuation gain or loss is recognized as profit or loss at the time such valuation gain or loss is incurred.

We recognized a net gain on valuation of derivative instruments in the amount of W212 billion with respect to our foreign exchange derivative instruments held during the reporting period.

 

15


Table of Contents
  (2)

Interest rate risks

 

   

Our exposure to interest rate risks relates primarily to our floating rate long term loan obligations. We have established and are managing interest rate risk policies to minimize uncertainty and costs associated with interest rate fluctuations by monitoring cyclical interest rate fluctuations and enacting countermeasures.

 

   

As of the end of the reporting period, we entered into an aggregate face value of US$1,590 million (equivalent to Won 2,055.7 billion) in cross-currency interest swap agreements with Hana Bank and others, and an aggregate of W240 billion in interest rate swap agreements to KB Kookmin Bank and others, for which we have not applied hedge accounting. We recognized a net gain on valuation of derivative instruments in the amount of W4 billion with respect to our interest rate derivative instruments held during the reporting period.

 

   

A fundamental transition in benchmark reference rates is taking place globally and some interbank lending rates (“IBORs”) are becoming replaced with new risk-free benchmark rates. In particular, in the case of London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with the exception of overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR rates, all rates have been ceased as of December 31, 2021. The aforementioned five USD LIBOR rates will also cease to exist as of June 30, 2023. While none of our financial instruments currently outstanding are tied to LIBOR rates that have been ceased to date, we plan to replace our existing financial instruments tied to LIBOR rates with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). In addition, while Korea Overnight Financing Repo Rate (“KOFR”) was selected as the benchmark reference rate for domestic certificate of deposit interest rates as part of the benchmark reference rate reform, we are not planning to adopt KOFR, as certificate of deposit interest rates are not scheduled to be ceased. Following the transition away from the LIBOR, we are exposed to legal risk associated with amending the contracts for such financial instruments as well as operational risk associated with managing the transition and its impact. We are also exposed to the risk of monitoring the market trend on alternative benchmark reference rates and establishing a risk management strategy accordingly. In order to manage such risks in relation to benchmark reference rate reform, we are assessing the extent to which each contract references IBOR cash flows, whether such contract should be amended and how to manage communication with counterparties on benchmark reference rate transition. Moreover, we have inserted replacement clauses for IBORs that have not yet been converted to alternative benchmark reference rates. However, even if a replacement clause has been inserted, if the interest rate of the financial instrument is still tied to an IBOR, we consider such financial instrument as not yet having been converted. See Note 25 of the notes to our consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information.

Environmental and Safety Matters

In order to minimize the environmental impact of our business activities, we are actively responding to environmental regulations applicable to our products and business sites.

 

  A.

Business environment management

We have installed and operate various types of prevention facilities to minimize the emission of environmental pollutants generated in our production process. With respect to air and water pollutants, we set and manage our internal standard at 70% of the permitted levels under the regulatory emission standards. In addition, in order to establish a resource circulation system, we operate a proprietary system to monitor waste from its generation to treatment, have developed waste treatment technology and identified suitable recycling companies to reduce the amount of waste we generate and maximize recycling.

 

18


Table of Contents

We are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations, and operations at our manufacturing plants are subject to regulation and periodic scheduled and unscheduled on-site inspections by the Ministry of Environment and local environmental protection authorities. The primary types of environmental laws applicable to us include the following:

 

  (1)

Environmental pollutant emission regulations: Clean Air Conservation Act, Water Quality Conservation Act, Wastes Control Act, Environmental Impact Assessment Act, etc.

 

  (2)

Greenhouse gas emission management: Framework Act on Carbon Neutral and Green Growth to Respond to Climate Crisis, Act on the Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse Gas Emission Permits, etc.

 

  (3)

Other workplace environment management: Chemicals Control Act, Chemicals Registration and Evaluation Act, Soil Environment Conservation Act, etc.

In addition, as we were designated a target company for the greenhouse gas emission trading system in 2015, we allocate and monitor our greenhouse gas emissions every year. In order to continually promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, we have set a medium- to long-term goal to reduce the emission level by continually investing in facility improvements and monitoring our emission levels.

In accordance with the Framework Act on Carbon Neutral and Green Growth to Respond to Climate Crisis, we implemented the greenhouse gas emission and energy consumption target system from 2012 to 2014. In 2015, we implemented the greenhouse gas trading system, under which we are responsible to meet our emission targets based on the emission credits allocated to us by the Ministry of Environment of the Korean government. As a result, we have been investing in additional equipment and there may be other costs associated with meeting reduction targets, which may have a negative effect on our profitability or production activities.

In connection with the greenhouse gas emission and energy reduction target system, we submitted a statement of our domestic emissions and energy usage for 2021 to the Korean government in March 2022 after it was certified by EQA, a government-designated certification agency. The table below sets forth yearly levels of our greenhouse gases emissions and energy usage in the statement submitted to the Korean government:

The decrease in greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 compared to 2019 was due primarily to the introduction of a reduction facility that decomposes fluorinated greenhouse gases used in our manufacturing process, resulting in an overall decrease in emission levels.

As we were designated as a target company for the greenhouse gas emission trading system in 2015, we submit a plan for allocating and monitoring our greenhouse gas emissions to the government every year. In order to continually promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, we have set a mid-term goal to reduce the emission level from 2014 to 2030 by 40% and a medium- to long-term goal to reduce the emission level from 2014 to 2050 by 90%. To achieve this, we are continually investing in facility improvements and monitoring our emission levels.

We are making extensive investments to replace SF6 gas, which is the main component of greenhouse gases, with NF3 gas. In addition, as a short-term strategy, we are actively implementing measures in compliance with the emission trading system. In 2021, we reduced our carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission levels by 1.71 million tons, and our carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission level in 2021 was 4.78 million tons, which was 2.95 million tons, or 38%, less than our carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission levels in 2014 (7.73 million tons).

As our medium- to long-term goal, we are developing and integrating high-efficiency greenhouse gas emission reduction technology (above 95% reduction efficiency level) into our manufacturing process. We are also seeking to develop low-carbon and environment-friendly alternative gas. Moreover, we will continue to accelerate our transition to recyclable energy and develop low-electricity/environment-friendly products.

Through the implementation of an environmental and energy management system, we are continuously making efforts to minimize environmental impact and reduce energy usage in all aspects of our business process. Accordingly, we have acquired and currently operate the environmental management system ISO14001 for all of our domestic and overseas production sites, and we have also obtained energy management system ISO 50001 certifications for our domestic business sites and overseas subsidiaries in Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Yantai in order to build a sustainable management system. In addition, we have established company-wide safety, healthy, energy and environment management policies and manuals, which are regularly updated based on international standards. We also conduct systematic management of our business process in accordance with international standards through annual follow-up and renewal audits.

In recognition of our efforts, we were awarded the highest level, Leadership A, and received the grand prize award at the CDP Water Korea Best Awards in 2016 from the Carbon Disclosure Project, which was presided over by the Carbon Disclosure Project Korea Committee. Since then, we have continued to maintain our excellence in water conservation activities and received Leadership A recognition from 2018 to 2021. In addition, we have also received the Carbon Management Honors Club award from 2017 to 2020 and the Carbon Management Sector Honors every year since 2016 in recognition of our continued greenhouse gas emission reduction activities. Moreover, in recognition of our efforts to improve our recycling rate and reduce waste, we received a citation in 2020 for being a leading resource circulation company from the Minister of Environment.

In addition, in recognition of our efforts toward recycling rate improvement and waste reduction, we were nominated as a leading company with an excellent performance in resource circulation and received a commendation from the Minister of Environment in 2020. Our overseas subsidiary in Yantai earned Platinum Zero Waste to Landfill (“ZWTL”) validation in 2021, and all of our domestic production facilities earned Gold ZWTL validation (above 95% recycling rate) in 2022. In 2022, we introduced a resource recirculation recognition program in accordance with the Korean government’s waste management policy and received circular resource certification on eight types of our discarded trays. We will continue our efforts to reinforce our resource circulation program by minimizing waste and maximizing recycling rate.

Product environment management

In the case of the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU, with the adoption of Directive (EU) 2015/863 in 2016, four additional substances (four phthalate substances) have been added to the six already restricted substances, which additional restrictions became effective as of July 22, 2019. In order to address the latent risk elements of the four phthalate substances that became restricted in 2019 and to establish a more stable management system, we implemented in 2016 a preemptive response process with respect to such four phthalate substances. In implementing this process, we collaborated with external agencies to ascertain regulatory trends and establish our response strategy, and we formulated and applied effective management measures through the collaborative efforts of our development, procurement and quality teams.

While Beryllium (Be) has not been designated internationally as a mandatorily restricted substance, it has continued to be the subject of discussion for restriction, and certain of our customers have designated it as a restricted substance not to be used in products. Accordingly, we have completed verification of the parts used in products for customers who have banned the use of Beryllium. We have also conducted verification of the parts used in products for all customers who are expected to implement a ban and we have established a Beryllium verification process for parts in development. Through such efforts, we have established a voluntary hazardous substance response process that can be expanded to products for all customers, not only those who have requested a response.

In response to the continued strengthening of regulations governing environmentally-regulated substances, we operate our own verification process for such substances in accordance with international standards. Moreover, we participated in reforming IEC 62321, an international testing standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission and used by RoHS, and the commission adopted our halogen-free combustion ion chromatography method in as IEC 62321-3-2, which was published in June 2013. In 2017, in a joint effort with the global product testing/accreditation agency SGS, we became the first display panel company to develop Eco Label, an environmentally friendly accreditation program for television display modules, and have since continuously received the SGS Eco Label accreditation for our OLED television models. For the IPS Nano Color for LCD, we received the Quality & Performance Mark from Intertek, a global product testing/accreditation agency, by applying a technology to eliminate cadmium (Cd) and indium phosphide (InP). In 2018, we became the first display panel company to receive the “Green Technology Certification” from the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT for improving the light efficiency technology of OLED to promote energy use reduction. More recently, in 2021, we received the “Green Technology Certification” from the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT for our advanced incell touch display technology, an eco-friendly technology with touch-sensing electrodes and transmission lines that reduce carbon emissions and the use of rare metals. We also obtained an eco-friendly certification from TUV SUD, a globally recognized accreditation agency, for excellence in resource circulation and non-use of specific hazardous substances in our OLED television and PO mobile models, following our co-development of such certification program with such agency.

In January 2021, an incident involving a leakage of tetramethylammonium hydroxide chemicals occurred during refurbishment of equipment at one of our plants in Paju, causing bodily harm to workers. In December 2021, we and one of our employees were prosecuted for violating the Industrial Safety and Health Act and the Chemicals Control Act, and a criminal trial is currently pending at the Goyang Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court. Government authorities are currently investigating the cause of such incident. In light of such incident, we plan to implement measures to fundamentally enhance our safety management standards with an aim to ensure health and safety of all workers at our facilities and maintain public trust, including four key safety management initiatives comprising (i) performing detailed safety diagnosis at all of our facilities, (ii) internalizing major hazardous tasks, (iii) developing dedicated personnel for safety- and environment-related matters and strengthening our support to our service providers, and (iv) strengthening the authority and capability of our safety management organizations.

In January 2021, we were audited by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in connection with the occurrence of a safety accident and found to be in violation of Article 114-1 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act relating to supervisory obligations with respect to the posting of safety information material and employee education. As a result, we were issued a corrective order and assessed a fine of W122.6 million, which we subsequently paid. We submitted a report on the implementation of the corrective order as of October 1, 2021.

In April 2021, we were assessed a fine of W1.2 million by the Paju Fire Station for failure to preserve regular inspection records of firefighting facilities related to the joint fire inspection by Gyeong-gi-Province Fire and Disaster Headquarters in violation of Article 18-1 of the Act on Safety Control of Hazardous Substances, which we subsequently paid. As a result, we have been conducting regular inspections of dangerous substances according to the inspection checklist related to this, and have taken measures to consult with relevant administrative agencies to the extent there are any ambiguous regulations related to performing inspections in order to prevent any legal issues.

On March 3, 2022, an accident occurred at our contracted construction site in Paju, resulting in injuries of four LS Cable & System workers.

Other Matters

 

  A.

Legal proceedings

We are a defendant in three separate civil lawsuits (comprising one damages claim in the United Kingdom filed by private plaintiffs, one damages claim in Israel filed by private plaintiffs and one unjust enrichment claim in the United States filed by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) filed against us and certain other TFT-LCD panel manufacturers in connection with alleged anticompetitive behavior of the defendants. In each of these cases, the amount being sought has not been determined, and no trial has been scheduled. While the expected outcome of each of these cases is unclear, we do not believe that any of these cases would have a material effect on our financial conditions.

 

  B.

Material events subsequent to the reporting period

None.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

LG Display Co., Ltd.:

Reviewed Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of LG Display Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022, the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal controls as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Security and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information consists principally of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting.

Other Matters

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such condensed consolidated interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.

We audited the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021 and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this review report, in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing, and our report thereon, dated March 8, 2022, expressed an unmodified opinion. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us from which it was derived in all material respects.

Basis of Presenting Financial Statements

 

  (a)

Statement of Compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standard (“K-IFRS”) No.1034, Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

  (b)

Basis of Measurement

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the consolidated statement of financial position:

 

   

derivative financial instruments at fair value, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), and

 

   

net defined benefit liabilities (defined benefit assets) recognized at the present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets.

 

  (c)

Functional and Presentation Currency

Each subsidiary’s financial statements within the Group are presented in the subsidiary’s functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which each subsidiary operates. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Controlling Company’s functional currency.

 

  (d)

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with K-IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of its condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those followed by the Group in its preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the application of K-IFRS No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting.

 

  (a)

Changes in Accounting Policies

The Group early adopted the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1016, Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use, in the annual consolidated financial statements from January 1, 2021.

Before the application of the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1016, directly attributable costs of acquiring property, plant and equipment included the costs of testing whether it is functioning properly, after deducting the net proceeds from selling items produced using the property, plant and equipment. However, after the application of the amendments, the proceeds from selling any such produced items and the cost of producing those items are recognized in profit or loss. The amendments also clarify that testing whether an item of property, plant and equipment is functioning properly means assessing its technical and physical performance rather than assessing its financial performance – e.g. assessing whether the property, plant and equipment has achieved a certain level of operating margin.

The Group applied amendments retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that were brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after January 1, 2020 and the Group restated and presented the consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 as follows.

The Group recognized deferred tax assets for the amount for which double taxation effect is expected to be reduced from mutual agreement procedures, however, the Group is exposed to an uncertainty which may result in double taxation.

Financial Risk Management

The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks. The Group identifies and analyzes such risks, and controls are implemented under a risk management system to monitor and manage these risks at below an acceptable level.

 

  (a)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

(i) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Controlling Company, Korean won (KRW). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are USD, CNY, JPY, etc.

Interest on borrowings is accrued in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Group, primarily KRW, USD and CNY.

The Group adopts policies to ensure that its net exposure is kept to a manageable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances. In respect of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group manages currency risk through continuously managing the position of foreign currencies, measuring the currency risk and, if necessary, using derivatives such as currency forwards, currency swap and others.

ii) Sensitivity analysis

A weaker won, as indicated below, against the following currencies which comprise the Group’s assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considers to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, would remain constant. The changes in equity and profit or loss would have been as follows:

 

     June 30, 2022      December 31, 2021  
(In millions of won)    Equity      Profit or loss      Equity      Profit or loss

CNY (5 percent weakening)

     (75,463      (3      (64,732      172

VND (5 percent weakening)

     (3,632      (3,632      (3,865      (3,865

A stronger won against the above currencies as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

iii) Derivatives for cash flow hedge

In relation to forecast export transactions, the Controlling Company uses derivative instruments to hedge fluctuations in future cash flows due to foreign currency exchange rate changes. As of June 30, 2022, there is no ineffective portion of the gain or loss on valuation of derivatives to which cash flow hedging accounting has been applied and gain and loss on valuation amounting to W188 million and W70,645 million, respectively, (contracted selling amount: USD 1,200 million, contracted exchange rate: W1,191.0~1,293.4) are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The expected settlement dates of derivative instrument contracts are within six months from June 30, 2022. The amount which have been reclassified from reserve to profit (revenue) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 is W69,285 million as a result of realization of forecast export transactions.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises principally from the Group’s variable interest-bearing bonds and borrowings. The Group establishes and applies its policy to reduce uncertainty arising from fluctuations in interest rates and to minimize finance cost and manages interest rate risk by monitoring of trends of fluctuations in interest rate and establishing plan for countermeasures. Meanwhile, the Group entered into cross currency interest rate swap contracts amounting to USD 1,590 million (W2,055,711 million) and interest rate swap contracts amounting to W240,000 million in notional amount to hedge interest rate risk with respect to variable interest bearing borrowings.

i) Profile

The interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows:

ii) Equity and profit or loss sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below for the respective following 12-month periods. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

(iii) Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks

A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative risk-free rates (referred to as ‘IBOR reform’). The publication of LIBOR, except overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month USD LIBORs, was terminated as of December 31, 2021 and the five LIBORs, as mentioned above, will be discontinued by June 30, 2023.

The Group does not have financial instruments affected by already discontinued LIBORs. The Group plans to change benchmark interest rate applied to some of its financial instruments from LIBORs to Secured Overnight Financing Rates (SOFRs), an alternative indicator interest rate. For these LIBOR-related financial instruments, the LIBORs are continued to be published. Meanwhile, in the case of the CD rate, an alternative reference rate was selected as the Korea Overnight Financing Repo Rate (KOFR) as part of the reform of the interest rate benchmark. However, unlike LIBOR, the termination of the publication of the CD rate is not scheduled, and the Group does not have plan to change to KOFR.

The Group is exposed to the legal risk of changing the contract of financial instruments due to the reform of the interest rate indicator, as well as the process and operational risks to deal with such changes. In addition, the Group is also exposed to the risk of monitoring the market trend on the alternative index interest rate and establishing a risk management strategy accordingly to manage the risk of the new alternative index interest rate. The Group manages and monitors the transition to alternative interest rate benchmark by evaluating the extent to which a contract references IBOR cash flows, whether such contracts will need to be amended as a result of IBOR reform and how to manage communication about IBOR reform with counterparties.

The Group monitors the transition to an alternative interest rate benchmark by reviewing the total amounts of contracts that have yet to transition to an alternative benchmark rate and the amounts of such contracts that include an appropriate fallback clause. The Group considers that a contract is not yet transitioned to an alternative benchmark rate when interest rate under the contract is indexed to a benchmark rate that is still subject to IBOR reform, even if it includes a fallback clause that deals with the cessation of the existing IBOR. As of June 30, 2022, the total amounts of unreformed contracts and those with appropriate fallback language are as follows, and the financial instruments that will be settled before June 30, 2023 are excluded:

  (b)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk of trade and other receivables is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management believes that the default risk of the country in which each customer operates do not have a significant influence on credit risk since the majority of the customers are global electronic appliance manufacturers operating in global markets.

The Group establishes credit limits for each customer and each new customer is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively before determining whether to utilize third party guarantees, insurance or factoring as appropriate.

In relation to the impairment of financial assets subsequent to initial recognition, the Group recognizes the changes in expected credit loss (“ECL”) in profit or loss at each reporting date.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:

Financial Risk Management, Continued

 

Trade accounts and notes receivable are insured in order for the Group to manage credit risk if they do not meet the Group’s internal credit ratings. Uninsured trade accounts and notes receivable are managed by continuous monitoring of internal credit rating standards established by the Group and seeking insurance coverage, if necessary.

 

  (c)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group has historically been able to satisfy its cash requirements from cash flows from operations and debt and equity financing. To the extent that the Group does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its capital requirements, the Group may rely on other financing activities, such as external long-term borrowings and offerings of debt instruments, equity-linked and other debt instruments. In addition, the Group maintains a line of credit with various banks.

Determination of fair value

(i) Measurement of fair value

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

i) Current assets and liabilities

The carrying amounts approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

ii) Trade receivables and other receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes. The carrying amounts of current receivables approximate their fair value.

iii) Investments in equity and debt securities

The fair value of marketable financial assets at FVTPL and FVOCI is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of non-marketable instruments is determined using the results of fair value assessment performed by external valuation institutions and others.

iv) Non-derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, except for the liabilities at FVTPL, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

v) Derivatives

The inputs used to measure the fair value of currency forward and cross currency interest rate swap are calculated based on the exchange rates and interest rates observable in the market at the reporting date.

Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments carried at fair value are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques. The levels have been defined as follows:

 

   

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

   

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

 

   

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

LG Display Co., Ltd.:

Reviewed Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of LG Display Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) which comprise the condensed separate interim statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022, the condensed separate interim statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Condensed Separate Interim Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal controls as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of condensed separate interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed separate interim financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Security and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information consists principally of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed separate interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting.

Other Matters

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such condensed separate interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.

We audited the separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021, and the related separate statements of comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this review report, in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing, and our report thereon, dated March 8, 2022, expressed an unmodified opinion. The accompanying condensed separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us from which it was derived in all material respects.

Basis of Presenting Financial Statements

 

  (a)

Statement of Compliance

The condensed separate interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standard (“K-IFRS”) No.1034, Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the separate financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

These condensed interim financial statements are separate interim financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No.1027, Separate Financial Statements, presented by a parent, an investor in an associate, in which the investments are accounted for on the basis of the direct equity interest rather than on the basis of the reported results and net assets of the investees.

 

  (b)

Basis of Measurement

The condensed separate interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following material items in the statement of financial position:

 

   

derivative financial instruments at fair value, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), and

 

   

net defined benefit liabilities (defined benefit assets) recognized at the present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets

Basis of Presenting Financial Statements, Continued

 

  (c)

Functional and Presentation Currency

The condensed separate interim financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Company’s functional currency.

 

  (d)

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of the condensed separate interim financial statements in conformity with K-IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

3.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its condensed separate interim financial statements are the same as those followed by the Company in its preparation of the separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the application of K-IFRS No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting.

 

  (a)

Changes in Accounting Policies

The Company early adopted the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1016, Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use, in the annual separate financial statements from January 1, 2021.

Before the application of the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1016, directly attributable costs of acquiring property, plant and equipment included the costs of testing whether it is functioning properly, after deducting the net proceeds from selling items produced using the property, plant and equipment. However, after the application of the amendments, the proceeds from selling any such produced items and the cost of producing those items are recognized in profit or loss. The amendments also clarify that testing whether an item of property, plant and equipment is functioning properly means assessing its technical and physical performance rather than assessing its financial performance – e.g. assessing whether the property, plant and equipment has achieved a certain level of operating margin.

The Company applied amendments retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that were brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after January 1, 2020. There is no impact on the Company’s condensed separate financial statements as a result of the retrospective application of the amendments

Tax uncertainties

In relation to the transfer price investigations related to five subsidiaries located in China, the mutual agreement procedures between tax authorities of the Republic of Korea and China for three subsidiaries have been completed and two subsidiaries are ongoing to resolve the double taxation effect. The Company recognized deferred tax assets for the amount for which double taxation effect is expected to be reduced from mutual agreement procedures, however, the Company is exposed to an uncertainty which may result in double taxation.

Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks. The Company identifies and analyzes such risks, and controls are implemented under a risk management system to monitor and manage these risks at below an acceptable level.

 

  (a)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

 

  (i)

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company, Korean won (KRW). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are USD, JPY, etc.

Interest on borrowings is accrued in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Company, primarily KRW and USD.

The Company adopts policies to ensure that its net exposure is kept to a manageable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances. In respect of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company manages currency risk through continuously managing the position of foreign currencies, measuring the currency risk and, if necessary, using derivatives such as currency forwards, currency swap and others.

Sensitivity analysis

A weaker won, as indicated below, against the following currencies which comprise the Company’s assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Company considers to be reasonably possible as of the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, would remain constant. The changes in equity and profit or loss would have been as follows:

 

     June 30, 2022      December 31, 2021  
(In millions of won)    Equity      Profit or loss      Equity      Profit or loss

A stronger won against the above currencies as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

 

  iii)

Derivatives for cash flow hedge

In relation to forecast export transactions, the Company uses derivative instruments to hedge fluctuations in future cash flows due to foreign currency exchange rate changes. As of June 30, 2022, there is no ineffective portion of the gain or loss on valuation of derivatives to which cash flow hedging accounting has been applied and gain and loss on valuation amounting to W188 million and W70,645 million, respectively, (contracted selling amount: USD 1,200 million, contracted exchange rate: W1,191.0~1,293.4) are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The expected settlement dates of derivative instrument contracts are within six months from June 30, 2022. The amount which have been reclassified from reserve to profit (revenue) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 is W69,285 million as a result of realization of forecast export transactions.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises principally from the Company’s variable interest-bearing bonds and borrowings. The Company establishes and applies its policy to reduce uncertainty arising from fluctuations in interest rates and to minimize finance cost and manages interest rate risk by monitoring of trends of fluctuations in interest rate and establishing plan for countermeasures. Meanwhile, the Company entered into cross currency interest rate swap contracts amounting to USD 1,590 million (W2,055,711 million) and interest rate swap contracts amounting to W240,000 million in notional amount to hedge interest rate risk with respect to variable interest bearing borrowings.

  (iii)

Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks

A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative risk-free rates (referred to as ‘IBOR reform’). The publication of LIBOR, except overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month USD LIBORs, was terminated as of December 31, 2021 and the five LIBORs, as mentioned above, will be discontinued by June 30, 2023.

The Company does not have financial instruments affected by already discontinued LIBORs. The Company plans to change benchmark interest rate applied to some of its financial instruments from LIBORs to Secured Overnight Financing Rates (SOFRs), an alternative indicator interest rate. For these LIBOR-related financial instruments, the LIBORs are continued to be published. Meanwhile, in the case of the CD rate, an alternative reference rate was selected as the Korea Overnight Financing Repo Rate (KOFR) as part of the reform of the interest rate benchmark. However, unlike LIBOR, the termination of the publication of the CD rate is not scheduled, and the Company does not have plan to change to KOFR.

The Company is exposed to the legal risk of changing the contract of financial instruments due to the reform of the interest rate indicator, as well as the process and operational risks to deal with such changes. In addition, the Company is also exposed to the risk of monitoring the market trend on the alternative index interest rate and establishing a risk management strategy accordingly to manage the risk of the new alternative index interest rate. The Company manages and monitors the transition to alternative interest rate benchmark by evaluating the extent to which a contract references IBOR cash flows, whether such contracts will need to be amended as a result of IBOR reform and how to manage communication about IBOR reform with counterparties.

The Company monitors the transition to an alternative interest rate benchmark by reviewing the total amounts of contracts that have yet to transition to an alternative benchmark rate and the amounts of such contracts that include an appropriate fallback clause. The Company considers that a contract is not yet transitioned to an alternative benchmark rate when interest rate under the contract is indexed to a benchmark rate that is still subject to IBOR reform, even if it includes a fallback clause that deals with the cessation of the existing IBOR. As of June 30, 2022, the total amounts of unreformed contracts and those with appropriate fallback language are as follows, and the financial instruments that will be settled before June 30, 2023 are excluded:

  (b)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk of trade and other receivables is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management believes that the default risk of the country in which each customer operates do not have a significant influence on credit risk since the majority of the customers are global electronic appliance manufacturers operating in global markets.

The Company establishes credit limits for each customer and each new customer is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively before determining whether to utilize third party guarantees, insurance or factoring as appropriate.

In relation to the impairment of financial assets subsequent to initial recognition, the Company recognizes the changes in expected credit loss (“ECL”) in profit or loss at each reporting date.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows:

Financial Risk Management, Continued

Trade accounts and notes receivable are insured in order for the Company to manage credit risk if they do not meet the Company’s internal credit ratings. Uninsured trade accounts and notes receivable are managed by continuous monitoring of internal credit rating standards established by the Company and seeking insurance coverage, if necessary.

 

  (c)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The Company has historically been able to satisfy its cash requirements from cash flows from operations and debt and equity financing. To the extent that the Company does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its capital requirements, the Company may rely on other financing activities, such as external long-term borrowings and offerings of debt instruments, equity-linked and other debt instruments. In addition, the Company maintains a line of credit with various banks.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments, as of June 30, 2022.

Determination of fair value

(i) Measurement of fair value

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

i) Current assets and liabilities

The carrying amounts approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

ii) Trade receivables and other receivables

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes. The carrying amounts of current receivables approximate their fair value.

iii) Investments in equity and debt securities

The fair value of marketable financial assets at FVTPL and FVOCI is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of non-marketable instruments is determined using the results of fair value assessment performed by external valuation institutions and others.

iv) Non-derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, except for the liabilities at FVTPL, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

v) Derivatives

The inputs used to measure the fair value of currency forward and cross currency interest rate swap are calculated based on the exchange rates and interest rates observable in the market at the reporting date.

Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

i) Fair value hierarchy

Financial instruments carried at fair value are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques. The levels have been defined as follows:

 

   

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

   

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

 

   

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data

ii) Financial instruments measured at fair value

Fair value hierarchy classifications of the financial instruments that are measured at fair value as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:
