1.5. Dividends

KB Financial Group maintains a progressive dividend policy and aims to increase its payout ratio to 30% in the mid- to long-term. With regard to the acquisition and cancellation of treasury shares, KB Financial Group plans to consider using treasury shares in its capital policy to improve shareholder return once market uncertainties, including those related to COVID-19, have been alleviated.

Although KB Financial Group has continued to increase its payout ratio, for example, from 24.8% in 2018 to 26% in 2019, it has decided on a payout ratio of 20% in 2020 based on the Financial Services Commission’s recommendation to temporarily limit the payout ratio to 20% in consideration of uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Following the termination of the Financial Services Commission’s recommendation as described above on June 25, 2021, KB Financial Group, for the first time in its history, announced a quarterly dividend of Won 750 per share as of June 30, 2021. KB Financial Group increased its payout ratio from 20% in 2020 to 26% in 2021, which was the same level of payout ratio as 2019. It will continue to strive to improve its shareholder value by pursuing various shareholder return policies, including a progressive dividend policy, regularization of quarterly dividends, and the acquisition and/or cancellation of its treasury shares.

2.3.5. The Ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Factors Affecting the Group’s Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant global and domestic economic and financial disruptions in recent years. Although there have been some signs of recovery, the economic outlook for Korea and its financial services sector in the remainder of 2022 and for the foreseeable future continues to remain highly uncertain as a result of, among others, (i) uncertainty regarding the scope and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its lasting social, political and economic effects, and the fiscal and monetary policies being implemented by the Korean government and regulatory authorities to alleviate such effects, (ii) adverse conditions in the Korean and global economies and financial markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the ongoing military conflict involving Russia and Ukraine, and (iii) factors such as fluctuations in oil and commodity prices and interest and exchange rates, rising inflationary pressures leading to increases in the costs of goods and services, disruptions in the global supply chain for raw materials and natural resources, higher unemployment, lower consumer confidence and stock market volatility.
