KB Financial Group aims to manage its CET1 target ratio at a minimum of around 13% (the regulatory requirement of 10.5% plus a management buffer of 250 bps), in order to meet the regulatory requirement of 10.5% even in the face of severe economic shocks and other macroeconomic variables, including fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates.
In order to manage such CET1 target ratio, the Group plans to benchmark systemic growth indicators, such as nominal GDP growth rates, to set its mid-term goals for asset growth. However, the Group may modify such goals to better fulfill the Group’s public role and to attain sustainable growth in light of changes to the macroeconomic and regulatory environment, the importance and role of the financial industry, including banks, in the domestic economy, the Group’s public duty to maintain the stability of the social system, or the Group’s business objectives such as investments in new businesses or M&A initiatives.
Generally, the Group’s policy is to utilize the excess capital exceeding its target CET1 ratio of 13% to actively return value to its shareholders. Although the level of shareholder returns may vary depending on changes in the regulatory environment, volatility in the financial market, and the Group’s business objectives, the Group will strive to maximize its shareholder returns and shareholders’ value in every situation.
As a leading financial institution in Korea, KB Financial Group will strive to perform its public duties as a bank in times of need, such as stabilizing the financial system and supporting the soft landing of the economy during economic fluctuations. The Group will take into consideration the interests of various stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, consumers, and local communities, to achieve sustainable growth while also enhancing shareholder value.
Based on its solid fundamentals and the highest level of capital in the industry, the Group achieved a shareholder return rate of approximately 30%, including through share buybacks and cancellations. The Group plans to actively continue such progressive shareholder return policy.
KB Financial Group also plans to provide a stable payout to the shareholders, taking into consideration the global best practices for dividend stability by maintaining at least the previous year’s level of cash dividends while gradually expanding the dividend per share and engaging in share buybacks and cancellations. However, such plans may be modified depending on economic conditions, regulatory environment, or the Group’s business objectives.
