English Translation of Independent Auditor’s Report Originally Issued in Korean on March 14, 2022
The Shareholders and Board of Directors
Kia Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Kia Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the
“Group”), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the
consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of
changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated
financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial
performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with Korean International Financial
Reporting Standards (“KIFRS”).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Korean Auditing Standards (“KGAAS”). Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to
our audit of the consolidated financial statements in the Republic of Korea, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.
(Key audit matter 1) Classification of the performance obligation of warranty for the vehicles sold and measurement of
the related amount:
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group provides free warranties for the customers
for a period of time after the vehicles were sold, and these warranties are divided into assurance type warranties and
service type warranties. In the case of service type warranties, certain portion of sales proceeds received at the time of
the vehicle sale is allocated to the warranty obligation and recognized as revenue when the performance obligation for
the service type warranties is fulfilled; accordingly, contract liabilities were recognized on the consolidated financial
statements as of December 31, 2021. In the case of assurance type warranties, the amount expected to be liable by the
Group in the future should be recognized as provision at the end of the reporting period, and the sales warranty
provisions of ₩4,640,702 million have been recognized on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31,
2021.
• Reviewed whether the classification of warranty types defined in the Group's accounting policies is in accordance with
KIFRS
• Assessed whether relevant controls for recognizing and measuring sales warranty provisions are effectively designed
and operated.
• Involved an IT specialist to assess whether IT general controls for IT system that is being used for warranty transaction
and relevant automated controls are effectively designed and operated.
• Compared internal and external information with the underlying data of the major accounting estimates by
management
• Performed an analytical review of the basis of management’s assumptions used in the measurement of related
liabilities with the historical data
• Performed an independent recalculation of the related liabilities balance at the end of the reporting period
• Compared the actual warranty provided in the current year with the forecasted warranty provision from the previous
year by car models
(Key audit matter 2) Complete and accurate measurement of the amount of incentive‐related liabilities provided to
dealers:
The Group provides a variety of incentive programs to dealers to facilitate vehicle sales. The Group reflects the forecasted
amount expected to be incurred from dealer incentives as accrued expenses in the consolidated financial statements.
Kia America, Inc. (“KUS”), a subsidiary in the United States, accounts for the significant proportion of the total incentive
amount of the Group, and due to various terms and conditions of incentive programs, accounting estimates and complex
calculations are performed when measuring related liabilities. We have selected this topic as our key audit matter, taking
into account the importance of the incentive amount of KUS and the risk that the related liabilities are difficult to be
measured accurately and completely due to the complexity of the estimates and calculations used by management for
each incentive programs.
The main audit procedures that we have conducted related to the considerations described above are as follows:
• Reviewed whether the incentive program accounting defined in the Group's accounting policies complies with the
KIFRS
• Involved the component auditors to perform the following procedures for the components that account for the
significant proportion of incentive‐related liabilities
‐ Understanding the underlying data aggregation process of key estimates used in the measurement of incentive‐
related liabilities
‐ Comparison of internal and external information with the underlying data and estimates used by management
‐ Analysis of the assumptions used by management when comparing related liabilities to historical performance
‐ Independent recalculation of the related liability balance as of December 31, 2021
‐ Comparison of the forecasted liability recognized as of the end of the previous reporting period with the actual
amount incurred for the current period
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in
accordance with KIFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation
of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis
of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
KGAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with KGAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s
internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant
doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained
up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue
as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during
our audit.

2. Basis of Preparation
(1) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting
Standards (“KIFRS”), as prescribed in the Act on External Audit of Stock Companies in the Republic of Korea. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from Korean financial statements. In
the event of any differences in interpreting the financial statements or the independent auditor’s report thereon, Korean
version, which is used for regulatory reporting purposes, shall prevail.
(2) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the following material
items in the consolidated statements of financial position:
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value
• Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value
• Liabilities for defined benefit plans are recognized at the net of total present value of defined benefit obligations
less the fair value of planned assets
(3) Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Group’s functional currency and the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates.
(4) Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with KIFRS 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. Estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized prospectively.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material
adjustment within the next fiscal year are included in the following notes:
• Note 15 : Retirement benefits plan
• Note 16 : Provisions
• Note 17 : Commitments and contingencies
• Note 23 : Revenue from contracts with customers
• Note 27 : Income tax expense
• Note 29 : Leases
The Group expects that the COVID‐19 pandemic that started in early 2020 and the government support measures of
each country will have a certain impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group in the future, but the
impact cannot be reasonably estimated as of December 31, 2021.
(5) Measurement of fair value
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values for both financial
and non‐financial assets and liabilities. The Group has an established control framework with respect to the
measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant
fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the CFO.
The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third‐party
information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses
the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of
KIFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies applied by the Group in preparation of its consolidated financial statements are
included below. The consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are based on
the same accounting policies except for the newly applied standards.
(1) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to,
variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over
the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date
on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
If a member of the Group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for
like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to its financial statements in
preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Intra‐group transactions
Intra‐group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra‐group transactions,
are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Intra‐group losses are recognized as expense if intra‐
group losses indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

(1) Basis of consolidation, Continued
Non‐controlling interests
Non‐controlling interests in a subsidiary are accounted for separately from the Company’s ownership interests in a
subsidiary. Each component of net profit or loss and other comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the
Company and non‐controlling interest holders even when the allocation reduces the non‐controlling interest balance
below zero.
Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary
Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as
equity transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Adjustments to non‐controlling interests are based on a
proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. The difference between the consideration and the adjustments
made to non‐controlling interest is recognized directly in equity attributable to the owners of the Company.
(2) Business combination
Business combination
A business combination is accounted for by applying the acquisition method, unless it is a combination involving entities
or businesses under common control.
Each identifiable asset and liability is measured at its acquisition‐date fair value except for below:
• Contingent liabilities that are a present obligation and can be measured reliably are recognized
• Deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized and measured in accordance with KIFRS 1012 Income Taxes
• Employee benefit arrangements are recognized and measured in accordance with KIFRS 1019 Employee Benefits
The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the
sum of the acquisition‐date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer
to former owners of the acquire and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.
Acquisition‐related costs are costs the acquirer incurs to affect a business combination. Those costs include finder's fees;
advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional or consulting fees; general administrative costs, including
the costs of maintaining an internal acquisitions department; and costs of registering and issuing debt and equity
securities. Acquisition‐related costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, are expensed
in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. The costs to issue debt or equity securities
are recognizes as expenses during the period in which the costs incurred and the services rendered except for the
issuance costs of debt or equity securities recognized in accordance with KIFRS 1032 Financial Instruments: Presentation
and KIFRS 1109 Financial Instruments.
Goodwill
Goodwill derived from business combinations occurred is measured at fair value of the consideration transferred,
including the recognized amount of any non‐controlling interest in the acquire, less the net recognized amount of the
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured as of the acquisition date. When the excess is negative,
bargain purchase gain is immediately recognized in the consolidated statements of income for the period. Goodwill is
subsequently measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.
Acquisition of non‐controlling interests is accounted for intercompany transaction, and related goodwill is not recognized.

(3) Investments in associates and joint ventures
An associate is an entity in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the entity’s financial and
operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the
voting power of another entity.
Joint ventures are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement,
and require unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions.
The investment in an associate and joint venture is initially recognized at cost and the carrying amount is increased or
decreased to recognize the Group’s share of profit or loss and changes in equity of the associate and joint venture after
the date of acquisition. Intra‐group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from
intra‐group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Intra‐group losses
recognized as expense if intra‐group losses indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial
statements.
If an associate and joint venture uses accounting policies different from those of the Group for like transactions and
events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to its financial statements in applying the equity
method.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that
interest is reduced to nil, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has
an obligation or has to make payments on behalf of the investee for further losses.
(4) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents composed of cash on hand, demand deposits and short‐term, highly liquid investments that
are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(5) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined based on the
specific identification method for materials‐in‐transit and moving‐average method for all other inventories and includes
expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing
them to their existing location and condition.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognized as cost of goods sold in same period
as the related revenue. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the
estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The amount of any write‐down of inventories to net realizable value
and all losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the period the write‐down or loss occurs. The amount of
any reversal of any write‐down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realizable value, are recognized as a
reduction in the amount of inventories recognized as an expense in the period in which the reversal occurs.

(6) Non‐current assets held for sale
Non‐current assets or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities that are expected to be recovered primarily
through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as held for sale. In order to be classified as held for sale,
the assets or disposal groups must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly
probable. The assets or disposal groups that are classified as non‐current assets held for sale are measured at the lower
of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. The Group recognizes an impairment loss for any initial or
subsequent write‐down of an asset or disposal group to fair value, less costs to sell, and a gain for any subsequent
increase in fair value less costs to sell, up to the cumulative impairment loss previously recognized.
A non‐current asset that is classified as held for sale or part of a disposal group classified as held for sale is not depreciated
(or amortized).
(7) Non‐derivative financial assets
Financial assets are measured at fair value at initial recognition. If financial assets are not classified as financial assets at
fair value through profit or loss, the transaction cost, which directly associated with the acquisition of financial assets, is
added to the fair value at initial recognition. Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently
measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI), and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow
characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of accounts receivable that do
not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group
initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or
loss, transaction costs. Accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group
has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under KIFRS 1115.
In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give
rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)’ on the principal amount outstanding. This
assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:
• Financial assets at amortized cost
• Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses
• Financial assets at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition
• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at amortized cost
The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
• The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows
• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (EIR) method and are
subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or
impaired.

Financial assets at fair value through OCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses
The Group measures debt instruments at fair value through OCI if both of the following conditions are met:
• The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash
flows and selling
• The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding
For financial assets at fair value through OCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or
reversals are recognized in profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized
cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognized in OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change
recognized in OCI is recycled to profit or loss.
Financial assets at fair value through OCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition
Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments
designated at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity under KIFRS 1032 Financial Instruments:
Presentation.
Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognized as finance income
in the consolidated statements of income when the right of payment has been established, except when the Group
benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated
upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are
acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded
derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial
assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at fair value
through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair
value with net changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of income.
A derivative embedded in a hybrid contract, with a financial liability or non‐financial host, is separated from the host and
accounted for as a separate derivative if: the economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to the host; a
separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative would meet the definition of a derivative; and the
hybrid contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Embedded derivatives are measured at fair value
with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Reassessment only occurs if there is either a change in the terms
of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that would otherwise be required or a reclassification of a
financial asset out of the fair value through profit or loss category.
A derivative embedded within a hybrid contract containing a financial asset host is not accounted for separately. The
financial asset host together with the embedded derivative is required to be classified in its entirety as a financial asset.

Derecognition
A financial asset is primarily derecognized when:
• The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, or
• The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the
received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass‐through’ arrangement; and either (a)
the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred
nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset
When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass‐through
arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent, it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither
transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the
Group continues to recognize the transferred asset to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the Group
also recognizes an associated liability.
Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statements of
financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention
to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(8) Non‐derivative financial liabilities
The Group classifies non‐derivative financial liabilities into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or other
financial liabilities in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of financial
liabilities. The Group recognizes financial liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position when the Group
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial liability.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading or designated as such
upon initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are
measured at fair value, and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss. Upon initial recognition, transaction costs
that are directly attributable to the acquisition are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Other financial liabilities
Non‐derivative financial liabilities other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are classified as other
financial liabilities. At the date of initial recognition, other financial liabilities are measured at fair value, minus
transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, other financial
liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The Group derecognizes a financial liability from the consolidated statements of financial position when it is extinguished
(i.e., when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires).

(9) Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value,
and changes therein are either recognized in profit or loss or, when the derivatives are designated in a hedging
relationship and the hedge is determined to be an effective hedge, other comprehensive income.
(a) Hedge accounting
The Group holds derivative contracts to manage foreign exchange and interest rate risk. The Group designated
derivatives as hedging instruments to hedge the foreign currency risk of highly probable forecasted transactions and
interest rate fluctuation risk (a cash flow hedge).
On initial designation of the hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instruments
and hedged item(s), including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction,
together with the methods that will be used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes
an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship, as well as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging
instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the cash flows of the respective hedged
items during the period for which the hedge is designated.
Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of a derivative hedging instrument designated as a fair value hedge are recognized in profit or
loss. The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value for a derivative hedging instrument and the
gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in profit or loss in the same line item of
the consolidated statement of income. The Group discontinues fair value hedge accounting if the hedging instrument
expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or if the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting.
For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortized cost, any adjustment to carrying value is amortized through
profit or loss over the remaining term of the hedge using the EIR method. EIR amortization may begin as soon as an
adjustment exists and no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable
to the risk being hedged.
If the hedged item is derecognized, the unamortized fair value is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When an unrecognized firm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change in the fair
value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is recognized as an asset or liability with a corresponding
gain or loss recognized in profit and loss.
Cash flow hedge
When a derivative is designated to hedge the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a
recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecasted transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective
portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income. Any ineffective
portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in profit or loss. If the hedging instrument
no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or the designation is revoked,
then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively.
The amounts accumulated in OCI are accounted for, depending on the nature of the underlying hedged transaction. If
the hedged transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non‐financial item, the amount accumulated in equity
is removed from the separate component of equity and included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the
hedged asset or liability. This is not a reclassification adjustment and will not be recognized in OCI for the period. This
also applies where the hedged forecast transaction of a non‐financial asset or non‐financial liability subsequently
becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied.

(9) Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting, continued
For any other cash flow hedges, the amount accumulated in OCI is reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification
adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss.
If cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in OCI must remain in accumulated
OCI if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur. Otherwise, the amount will be immediately reclassified
to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.
(b) Other derivative financial instruments
Changes in the fair value of other derivative financial instrument not designated as a hedging instrument are recognized
immediately in profit or loss.
(10) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all financial assets not held at fair value through
profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract
and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest
rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that
are integral to the contractual terms.
ECLs are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk
since initial recognition, ECLs are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the
next 12‐months (a 12‐month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit
risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure,
irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).
For accounts receivable and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the
Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each
reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted
for forward‐looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.
For financial assets at fair value through OCI, the Group applies the low credit risk simplification. At every reporting date,
the Group evaluates whether the debt instrument is considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and
supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. In making that evaluation, the Group reassesses
the internal credit rating of the debt instrument. In addition, the Group considers that there has been a significant
increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
If the Group’s financial assets at fair value through OCI comprise solely of quoted bonds that are graded in the top
investment category, they are considered to be low credit risk investments. It is the Group’s policy to measure ECLs on
such instruments on a 12‐month basis. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since
origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL. The Group uses the ratings from the credit rating agency
both to determine whether the debt instrument has significantly increased in credit risk and to estimate ECLs.
The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain
cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that
the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit
enhancements held by the Group. A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering
the contractual cash flows.

(11) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes
expenditures arising directly from the construction or acquisition of the asset, any costs directly attributable to bringing
the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management
and the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
Subsequent to initial recognition, an item of property, plant and equipment is carried at its cost, less any accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent costs are recognized in the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment at cost or, if appropriate, as
consolidated items, if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and
the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The transferred amount is derecognized, and the costs of the day‐to‐day
servicing are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Property, plant and equipment, except for land, are depreciated on a straight‐line basis over estimated useful lives that
appropriately reflect the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed. A
component that is significant compared to the total cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated over its
consolidated useful life.
The estimated useful lives of the Group’s property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Estimated useful lives (years)
Buildings and structures 20–40
Machinery and equipment 15
Dies, molds and tools 5
Vehicles 5
Other equipment 5
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting date and adjusted, if
appropriate. The change is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.
Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing the proceeds
from disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and are recognized in other income or
expenses.
(12) Borrowing costs
The Group capitalizes borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognized in expense as incurred. A qualifying asset is
an asset that requires a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Financial assets and inventories
that are manufactured or otherwise produced over a short period of time are not qualifying assets. Assets that are ready
for their intended use or sale when acquired are not qualifying assets.

(13) Intangible assets
Intangible assets are measured initially at cost and, subsequently, are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and
accumulated impairment losses.
Amortization of intangible assets except for goodwill is calculated on a straight‐line basis over the estimated useful lives
of intangible assets from the date that they are available for intended use. The residual value of intangible assets except
for goodwill is zero. However, as useful lives of intangible assets are not foreseeable to the periods over which
memberships are expected to be available for use, this intangible asset is determined as having indefinite useful lives and
not amortized.
The estimated useful lives of the Group’s intangible assets are as follows:
Estimated useful lives (years)
Development costs (*)
Industrial property rights 5, 10
Software 5
Membership Indefinite
Others 9–25
(*) Capitalized development costs are amortized over the useful life considering the life cycle of the developed products.
The amortization periods and amortization methods of intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at the end
of each reporting period. The amortization methods and the useful lives of intangible asset as indefinite are reviewed
and assessed at the end of each reporting period. If an indefinite useful life is no longer supported, the change from
indefinite to finite life is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. Intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives(e.g. membership) are not amortized; instead, the assets are tested for impairment annually.
Research and development
Expenditures on research activities are recognized as expense in the period in which they incur. Expenditures on
development activities are capitalized as intangible assets (development costs) and amortized on a straight‐line basis
over the economic life when the assets become available for sale or use.
The Group’s product development process consists of four stages which comprise prior research, development approval,
product development and mass production. The product to be developed is decided based on discussions of product
concepts and market researches which take place in the prior research stage, and the product development is
commenced upon management’s approval. In general, the Group recognizes intangible assets when development
activities take place upon management’s approval which confirms product specifications, release schedules and sales
plans. Prior expenditures are considered as research activities and are recognized as expense in the period in which they
incurred.
Subsequent expenditures
Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific
asset to which it relates. All other expenditures, including expenditures on internally generated goodwill and brands, are
recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
(14) Investment property
Property held for the purpose of earning rentals or benefiting from capital appreciation is classified as investment
property. Investment property is measured initially at its cost. Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement.
Subsequently, investment property is carried at depreciated cost, less any accumulated impairment losses.

(15) Impairment of non‐financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non‐financial assets, other than assets arising from employee benefits, inventories
and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at the end of the reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill and intangible
assets that have indefinite useful lives, irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, are tested for
impairment annually by comparing their recoverable amount to their carrying amount.
The Group estimates the recoverable amount of an individual asset. If it is impossible to measure the individual
recoverable amount of an asset, then the Group estimates the recoverable amount of cash‐generating unit (“CGU”). The
recoverable amount of an asset or a CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value, less costs to sell. The value
in use is estimated by applying appropriate discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU for which estimated future cash flows have not been adjusted, to the
estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or a CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount
that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
(16) Government grants
Government grants are not recognized, unless there is a reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the grant’s
conditions and that the grant will be received. Government grants whose primary condition is that the Group’s purchases,
constructs or otherwise acquires long‐term assets are deducted in calculating the carrying amount of the asset. The grant
is recognized in profit or loss over the life of a depreciable asset as a reduction to depreciation expense.
Other government grants that are intended to compensate the Group for expenses incurred are deducted from related
costs over the periods in which the Group recognizes the related costs as expenses. Government grants, which are
intended to give immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs, are recognized as government
grant income in profit or loss.
(17) Employee benefits
Short‐term employee benefits
Short‐term employee benefits are employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the
period in which the employees render the related service. When an employee has rendered service to the Group during
an accounting period, the Group recognizes the undiscounted amount of short‐term employee benefits expected to be
paid in exchange for that service.
Other long‐term employee benefits
Other long‐term employee benefits include employee benefits that are settled beyond 12 months after the end of the
period in which the employees render the related service and are calculated at the present value of the amount of future
benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, less the fair value of any
related assets. The present value is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using the interest rate of
high‐quality corporate bonds with similar maturing as the expected benefit payment date. Any actuarial gains and losses
are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Retirement benefits
The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the
amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and
deducting the fair value of any plan assets. The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a
qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets
(excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other
comprehensive income (loss). The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit
liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the
beginning of the annual period to the then‐net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the
net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest
expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past
service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and
losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
In addition, employees of KUS are eligible to participate, upon meeting certain service requirement, in the profit sharing
retirement plan under the Internal Revenue Code 401(k) in the United States. KUS and employees of KUS paid each
contribution during the period in which the employees render the related service.
(18) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group 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
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The risks and uncertainties that inevitably surround many events and circumstances are taken into account in reaching
the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is significant, provisions are determined
at the present value of the expected future cash flows.
Where some or all of the expenditures required to settle a provision are expected to be reimbursed by another party,
the reimbursement shall be recognized when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received
if the entity settles the obligation. The reimbursement is treated as a separate asset.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. If it is no
longer probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, the
provision is reversed.
A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on
historical warranty data and a weighted‐average of all possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.
A provision shall be used only for expenditures for which the provision was originally recognized.
(19) Emission rights
The Group accounts for greenhouse gases emission right and the relevant liability as below pursuant to the Act on
Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse Gas Emission.

(19) Emission rights, Continued
Greenhouse gases emission right
Greenhouse gases emission right consists of emission allowances that are allocated from the government free of charge
or purchased from the market. The cost includes any cost directly attributable to bringing the asset and condition
necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Emission right held for the purpose of performing the obligation is classified as intangible asset. The intangible asset is
initially measured at cost and after initial recognition, is carried at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.
The Group derecognizes an emission right asset when the emission allowance is unusable, disposed or submitted to
government in which the future economic benefits are no longer expected to be probable.
Emission liability
Emission liability is a present obligation of submitting emission rights to the government with regard to emission of
greenhouse gas. Emission liability is recognized when it is probable that outflows of resources will be required to settle
the obligation and the costs required to perform the obligation are reliably estimable. Emission liability is an amount of
estimated obligations for emission rights to be submitted to the government for the performing period. The emission
liability is measured based on the expected quantity of emission for the performing period in excess of emission
allowance in possession and the unit price for such emission rights in the market at the end of the reporting period. The
Group derecognizes emission liability when it submits emission rights to the government.
The Group recognized the emission liability of W119,109 million as of December 31, 2021
(20) Foreign currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Group at exchange rates
at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to
the functional currency using the reporting date’s exchange rate. Non‐monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the
date that the fair value was determined. Non‐monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for differences arising on a
financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation, or qualifying cash flow hedges,
which are recognized in other comprehensive income. Also, foreign currency differences arising on settlement of
monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.
(21) Equity capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares and
share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
When the Group repurchases its share capital, the amount of the consideration paid is recognized as a deduction from
equity and classified as treasury shares. The profits or losses from the purchase, disposal, reissue, or retirement of
treasury shares are not recognized in profit or loss. If the Group or an entity in the Group acquires and retains treasury
shares, the consideration paid or received is directly recognized in equity.

(22) Revenue from contracts with customers
The Group is engaged in the business of producing and selling passenger cars, recreational vehicles and other commercial
vehicles (hereinafter referred to as "vehicles") and its parts. In a contract with a customer, the Group recognizes revenue
when the control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer, at an amount that reflects the consideration
expected to be paid for the goods or services. Since the Group controls the goods or services at the stage prior to the
delivery of the contracted goods or services to the customers, the Group operates on a contractual principle with all
customers.
There are other commitments other than the provision of goods on the sales contract of the vehicles and its parts with
the customer by the Group, and the Group considers whether the obligations under these other commitments are
separate performance obligations that requires certain portion of the transaction amount to be allocated. Accordingly,
the Group is required to separately identify the provision of service type warranties that exists in the sales contract of
the vehicles and its parts, the provision of the additional service goods and services, and the provision of points for the
customer loyalty points program from the provision of the vehicles and its parts as separate performance obligations.
The major performance obligations of the Group for contracts with customers are as follows:
① Provision of vehicles and its parts
Revenue of the vehicles and its parts is recognized at the time of delivery of the asset, at which control of the asset is
transferred to the customer, the general collecting terms being within 90 days of delivery.
When calculating the transaction price allocated to the obligation to provide vehicles and its parts, the Group considers
the following:
A. Variable consideration
The transaction price allocated to the performance obligation to deliver the vehicles and its parts is based on the
individual selling price of the goods and takes into account the estimated value of the transaction discount and the
variable consideration due to return or refund obligations. The Group shall include in the transaction price an amount of
variable consideration estimated only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is
subsequently resolved.
B. Significant financing component
The Group is receiving short‐term advances from certain customers, depending on the terms in the contract with
customers. Applying the simplified approach of KIFRS 1115, if it is expected that the duration between the transfer of
the goods to the customer and the payment of the consideration by the customer will be within one year at the time the
contract is initiated, the Group does not reflect the impact of significant financing components in calculating the
transaction price.
C. Provision of assurance type warranties
The Group provides warranties for repairs of defective products at the point of sale of vehicles and its parts in accordance
with relevant laws and regulations. The Group determines that the majority of these guarantees are assurance type
warranties as per KIFRS 1115, and accordingly, it accounts for the warranties in accordance with KIFRS 1037 Provisions,
contingent liabilities and contingent assets (Note 16).

② Provision of service type warranties
In addition to the defects repair warranty at the time of the sale of the vehicles and its parts, the Group provides different
additional warranties depending on the type of goods. The Group distinguishes these additional warranties as separate
performance obligations under KIFRS 1115 and allocates a portion of the transaction price received in providing the
goods to the performance obligations, and revenues are recognized over the period when the performance obligation is
fulfilled.
When the Group calculates the transaction price allocated to the obligation to provide the service type warranty, the
Group considers the following:
A. Estimating selling price of each service
In the case of a service type warranty provided by the Group, the individual selling price is not directly observed, and the
Group considers all available information to a reasonable extent and estimates its individual selling prices in a consistent
manner.
B. Significant financing component
The Group generally receives the total transaction amount from the customer, including the consideration of the service
type warranty, within 90 days from the delivery of vehicles and its parts. In general, as there is a significant difference
between the point at which the Group receives the consideration for the provision of the service type warranty and the
time at which the obligation is actually fulfilled, the Group reviews whether significant financing components exist. The
Group determines that the difference arises due to a reason other than providing financial services to the customer or
the Group, and therefore, there is no significant financing component in the transaction price.
③ Provision of additional goods or services
The Group pledges to provide customers with additional goods and services in addition to the sale of the vehicles and its
parts. The Group classifies these additional goods and services as separate performance obligations under KIFRS 1115
and allocates a portion of the transaction proceeds received in providing the vehicles and its parts to the performance
obligation; revenues are recognized over the period when the performance obligation is satisfied.
When the Group calculates the transaction price allocated to the performance obligation, the Group considers the
following:
A. Estimating selling price of each service
In case of additional goods and services provided by the Group, the individual selling prices are not directly observed,
and the Group considers all available information to a reasonable extent and estimates its individual selling prices in a
consistent manner.
B. Significant financing component
The Group generally receives the total transaction amount from the customer, including the consideration for the
provision of additional goods and services within 90 days from the delivery of the vehicles and its parts. In general, as
there is a significant difference between the point when the Group receives the consideration for the provision of
additional goods and services and when it actually performs the obligation, the Group considers the existence of
significant financing components. The Group determines that the difference arises due to a reason other than providing
financial services to the customer or the Group, and therefore, there is no significant financing components in the
transaction price.

④ Customer loyalty points program
The Group operates 'Kia Members Point', a customer loyalty point program, and customers are able to earn points for
use in future purchases of the Group's goods under this program. Customer loyalty point program are a separate
performance obligation because they provide significant rights to the customer. Accordingly, part of the sales proceeds
of the vehicles are distributed to the points based on the relative individual selling prices and are recognized as contract
liabilities until the point is used. Revenue is recognized when customers use points. When estimating the individual
selling price of a point, the Group considers the possibility of the customer using the points in the future. The Group
makes quarterly adjustments to the estimates of points to be used in the future, and adjustments to contract liabilities
are reflected in revenue.
(23) Finance income and finance costs
Finance income comprises interest income from the fair value measurement of financial assets at fair value through
profit or loss and financial assets measured at amortized cost, income from disposal of financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss and financial assets measured at amortized cost, changes in fair value of financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss, gain on hedging instruments recognized in profit or loss, and dividend income from entities
excluding joint ventures and associates. Interest income is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective
interest method. Dividend income is recognized in profit on the date that the Group’s right to receive payment is
established.
Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings, unwinding of the discount on provisions, losses from the
disposal of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at amortized cost, changes
in fair value of financial assets, and loss on the hedging instrument recognized in profit or loss. Interest expense of
borrowings is recognized as it accrues in profit or loss, using the effective interest method.
(24) Income taxes
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss
except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other
comprehensive income.
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable profit or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
The taxable profit is different from the accounting profit for the period since the taxable profit is calculated excluding
the temporary differences, which will be taxable or deductible in determining taxable profit (tax loss) of future periods,
and non‐taxable or non‐deductible items from the accounting profit. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the
amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group
operates and generates taxable income.

(24) Income taxes, Continued
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized, using the asset‐liability method, in respect of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. A deferred
tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences. A deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible
temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which they can be
utilized. However, deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences: taxable temporary differences
arising on the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a
business combination ,and that affects neither accounting profit or loss nor taxable income.
The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, except to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing
of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future.
The Group recognizes a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising from investments in
subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will reverse in
the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduces the carrying
amount to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of
part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset
is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets reflects the tax consequences that
would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period to recover or settle the
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to offset the related current tax
liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and they are intended to settle
current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis.
(25) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by
dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted‐average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the
profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted‐average number of ordinary shares outstanding,
adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all potential dilutive ordinary shares.
(26) Operating segments
The Group distinguishes segments based on internal reporting data reviewed periodically by top management to make
decisions about the resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess the performance of the segment. As described
in Note 4, the Group is a single reporting entity.
(27) Cash dividend
The Group recognizes dividends payable after approval of distribution to pay cash dividends. The distribution to
shareholders requires approval by shareholders. Corresponding amounts are directly reflected in equity.

(28) Leases
A. Right‐of‐use asset
At the commencement date, the Group recognizes a right‐of‐use asset. The right‐of‐use asset is measured at cost, less
any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of a lease
liability. The cost of the right‐of‐use asset includes the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability recognized,
initial direct costs incurred, and so forth. If it is not reasonably estimable that the lessee will obtain ownership of the
underlying asset at the end of the lease term, the right‐of‐use asset is depreciated on a straight‐line basis over the shorter
of the period of useful life and lease term.
B. Lease liability
At the commencement date, the Group measures a lease liability at the present value of the lease payments to be made
over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in‐substance fixed payments) less any lease
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under
residual value guarantees. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing
rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the
commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the
lease payments made.
In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a change in underlying assets, a change in
the fixed lease payments (including in‐substance fixed lease payments), a change in the lease payment (e.g., changes to
future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments), or a change in the
lease term.
C. Short‐term leases and leases of low‐value assets
The Group applies a lease recognition exemption to: (a) leases that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of
12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option and (b) leases for which the underlying asset is of low value. The
lease payments on short‐term leases and leases of low‐value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight‐line basis
over the lease term.
(29) New and amended standards that have been applied
Newly applied KIFRS and related changes in accounting policies during the current period are as follows:
‐ Amendments to KIFRS 1109, KIFRS 1039, KIFRS 1107, KIFRS 1104 and KIFRS 1116 : Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
(Step 2)
The amendments provide temporary reliefs for responding the case where the replacement of interbank offered rates
(IBORs) with alternative, nearly risk‐free interest rates (RFRs) makes the impact on the financial reporting.
The amendments include the following practical expedients:
• In case of changes to contracts or changes to cash flows due directly to the Reform, treat them as changes to a floating
interest rate, akin to a movement in the market rate of interest;
• Permit changes required by the IBOR Reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without
discontinuing hedge relationships; and
• Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR
instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component.
These amendments had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

‐ Amendments to KIFRS 1116 Covid‐19 Related Rent Concessions beyond June 30, 2021
On May 28, 2020, the IASB issued Covid‐19‐Related Rent Concessions ‐ amendment to KIFRS 1116 Leases. The
amendments provide relief to lessees from applying KIFRS 1116 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent
concessions arising as a direct consequence of the Covid‐19 pandemic. As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not
to assess whether a Covid‐19 related rent concession from a lessor is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this
election accounts for any change in lease payments resulting from the Covid‐19 related rent concession the same way it
would account for the change under KIFRS 1116 if the change were not a lease modification.
The amendment was intended to apply until June 30, 2021, but as the impact of the Covid‐19 pandemic is continuing,
on March 31, 2021, the IASB extended the period of application of the practical expedient to June 30, 2022.The
amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021. The Group has not received Covid‐
19‐related rent concessions, but plans to apply the practical expedient if it becomes applicable within allowed period of
application. This amendment had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
(30) Standard issued but not yet effective
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of
the Group’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these new and amended standards
and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.
‐ KIFRS 1117 Insurance Contracts
In May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, a comprehensive new accounting standard for insurance
contracts covering recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure. Once effective, KIFRS 1117 will replace
KIFRS 1104 Insurance Contracts that was issued in 2007. KIFRS 1117 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i.e., life,
non‐life, direct insurance and re‐insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain
guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features. A few scope exceptions will apply. The
overall objective of KIFRS 1117 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is more useful and
consistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in KIFRS 1104, which are largely based on grandfathering previous
local accounting policies, KIFRS 1117 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant
accounting aspects. The core of KIFRS 1117 is the general model, supplemented by:
• A specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features (the variable fee approach)
• A simplified approach (the premium allocation approach) mainly for short‐duration contracts
KIFRS 1117 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with comparative figures required.
Early application is permitted, provided the entity also applies KIFRS 1109 and KIFRS 1115 on or before the date it first
applies KIFRS 1117. This standard is not applicable to the Group.
‐ Amendments to KIFRS 1001: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non‐current
The amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of KIFRS 1001 specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or
non‐current. The amendments clarify:
• What is meant by a right to defer settlement
• That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
• That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
• That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a
liability not impact its classification

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and must be applied
retrospectively. The Group is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice and whether
existing loan agreements may require renegotiation.
‐ Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to KIFRS 1103
The amendments are intended to replace a reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial
Statements, issued in 1989, with a reference to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued in March 2018
without significantly changing its requirements.
The Board also added an exception to the recognition principle of KIFRS 1103 to avoid the issue of potential ‘day 2’ gains
or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of KIFRS 1037 or KIFRS 2121 Levies,
if incurred separately. At the same time, the Board decided to clarify existing guidance in KIFRS 1103 for contingent
assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of
Financial Statements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022
and apply prospectively.
‐ Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use – Amendments to KIFRS 1016
The amendment prohibits entities deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds
from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of
operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognizes the proceeds from selling such items,
and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and must be applied
retrospectively to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest
period presented when the entity first applies the amendment. The amendments are not expected to have a material
impact on the Group.
‐ Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract – Amendments to KIFRS 1037
The amendments specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss‐
making. The amendments apply a “directly related cost approach”. The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide
goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General
and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the
counterparty under the contract. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2022. The Group will apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations
at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments.
‐ Definition of Accounting Estimates ‐ Amendments to KIFRS 1008
The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies
and the correction of errors. Also, they clarify how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop
accounting estimates. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023
and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that
period. Earlier application is permitted as long as this fact is disclosed. The amendments are not expected to have a
material impact on the Group.

‐ Disclosure of Accounting Policies ‐ Amendments to KIFRS 1001 and KIFRS Practice Statement 2
The amendments provide guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgments to accounting policy
disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing
the requirement for entities to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their
‘material’ accounting policies and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions
about accounting policy disclosures. The amendments to KIFRS 1001 are applicable for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact
on the Group.
‐ Amendments to KIFRS 1012 Income Taxes – Narrowing the scope of the initial recognition exception of deferred
taxes
The amendments narrowed the scope of the initial recognition exemption so that it no longer applies to transactions
that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary difference, thus to resolve accounting
diversity in the recognizing of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Paragraphs 15 and 24 (initial recognition exemption of
deferred taxes) of KIFRS 1012 were amended to include an additional condition (3) where a deferred tax asset and
liability shall be recognized for a temporary difference that arises on initial recognition of an asset or liability in a single
transaction if that transaction give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. The
amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier adoption
permitted. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.
‐ KIFRS 1037 ‐ Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract
The amendments are intended to specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is
onerous or loss‐making. The amendments apply a “directly related cost approach”. The costs that relate directly to a
contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract
activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly
chargeable to the counterparty under the contract. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The Group will apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet
fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments.
‐ KIFRS 1101 First‐time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Subsidiary as a first‐time adopter
The amendment permits a subsidiary that elects to apply paragraph D16(1) of KIFRS 1101 to measure cumulative
translation differences using the amounts reported by the parent, based on the parent’s date of transition to KIFRS. This
amendment is also applied to an associate or joint venture that elects to apply paragraph D16(1) of KIFRS 1101.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier adoption
permitted.

The amendment clarifies the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified
financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those
paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender
on the other’s behalf. An entity applies the amendment to financial liabilities that are modified or exchanged on or after
the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the entity first applies the amendment.

17. Commitments and Contingencies
(1) As of December 31, 2021, the Group provides one certificate of deposit valued at ₩1,473 million and 2,517 units of
capital investments in Korea Defense Guarantee Cooperative (KDGC) with the carrying amount of ₩596 million as
collateral to KDGC as a performance guarantee on the contract. In addition, some property, plant and equipment are
pledged as collateral for guarantee deposits received with the collateral amount of ₩3,007 million.
(2) The Group provides guarantees for employees relating to borrowings to acquire shares of the Group. The outstanding
amount for which the Group has provided collective guarantees to the Korea Securities Finance Corporation is
₩181,432 million as of December 31, 2021. Management is of the opinion that aforementioned guarantees will not
have a significant adverse effect on the Group’s credit risk since the Group has pledged its acquired shares as collateral
for the borrowings.
(3) As of December 31, 2021, the Group has pending litigations, in which the Group is a defendant, such as claims for
alleged damages and product liabilities. Management of the Group predicts that the outcome of such litigations
cannot be reasonably determined; the amount and timing of the outflow of resources are uncertain; the impact on
the consolidated financial statements would not be material. Additionally, the Group is under investigations from
domestic and overseas authorities related to the recall of the Seta 2 engines, and the outcome and effect of these
investigations cannot be reliably estimated as of December 31, 2021.
(4) As of December 31, 2021, KaGA has an agreement with the West Point Development Authority and Troup Country
Development Authority with a limit of USD 2,700,000 thousand to purchase building, machinery and equipment for
tax incentives.

(2) Risk management strategies and applied approach for risk management
The Group is exposed to certain risks with ongoing business operations. The main risks managed by derivatives are
interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. The approach of the Group’s risk management strategies and risk
management is described in Note 31.
The Group entered into the interest swap contract with nominal value of ₩22,600 million, the currency swap contract
with nominal value of ₩1,828,995 million and the raw material swap contract with nominal value of ₩60,019 million.
These derivative financial instruments are used to hedge exposures to changes in cash flows of long‐term debt, bonds,
and forecast transactions.
Because the terms of such derivatives are in line with terms of long‐term debt (borrowings and bonds) denominated in
dollar and terms of forecast transactions, there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging
instrument. Because the underlying risk of derivative financial instruments is same as the hedged risk components, the
Group set a 1:1 risk‐averting ratio for the hedging relationship. For assessing the hedging effectiveness, the Group uses
a Critical Terms Match Method to compare the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the changes in
the cash flow of the hedged item due to the hedged risk.
The ineffective portion of risk aversion could be generated as follows:
‐ Different interest rate curves applied to discount hedged items and hedging instruments
‐ Difference in the timing of the cash flow of the hedged item and the hedging instrument
‐ In case of the counterparty's credit risk having a different effect on the fair value movement of the hedging instrument
and the hedged item
(3) Information on the future cash flows of derivatives designated as net cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2021 is

31. Finance Risk Management
The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (composed of
foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk). The treasury department monitors and manages the financial risk arising
from the Group’s underlying operations in accordance with the risk management policies and procedures authorized by
the Board of Directors.
(1) 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. The Group has transacted with customers after evaluating on their credit rating graded by
the independent credit rating agencies and has their collaterals to control customers on default. If those grades are not
available, customers’ credit is evaluated upon their other transaction information. The Group regularly monitors
customers’ credit ratings.
(2) 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 another financial asset. The Group manages liquidity risk by reviewing and
forecasting regular cash flows. The Group has a certain level of current account to prepare unexpected payment of short‐
term financial liabilities and others.
(3) Market risk
Market risk is the risk of fluctuations in fair value of financial instrument and future cash flow by changes of market price.
The purpose for managing market price is to optimize profits, while managing and controlling on exposure to market risk
within acceptable limits.
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various foreign currencies including the US dollar and Euro,
which relates to primarily to the Group’s global operating activities. The Group periodically measures and assesses the
exposure to primary currencies to minimize the fluctuation of business performance and financial risk on fluctuations in
foreign exchange and establish its own guidelines and manage foreign exchange risk.
[Risk]
‐ Risk of changes in presentation amount in Korean won due to foreign exchange fluctuation in future sales amounts
denominated in foreign currency
‐ Risk of changes in presentation amount in Korean won due to foreign exchange fluctuation in assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currency
‐ Foreign exchange risk until the time of collecting accounts and notes receivable and paying of accounts and notes
payable
[Strategy]
‐ The Group is on the principle that it minimizes the exposure to currencies by matching inflows and outflows of foreign
currencies, size, and maturity.
‐ The Group reduces the exposure period of foreign currencies by trade financing instruments such as negotiation in
order to manage the risk arising from accounts and notes receivable and accounts and notes payable from operating
activities.
‐ The Group hedges its foreign currency risk arising from future cash flow that are expected to occur within a maximum
12‐month period by making use of derivative financial instruments such as currency forwards, currency options, etc.
‐ Derivative financial instruments such as currency swaps, etc. are used to hedge the foreign exchange risk until
maturities for borrowings in foreign currencies, whose maturity exceeds 12 months
‐ The Group enters into derivative financial instrument contracts based on its internal guideline and procedures for
foreign exchange risk, and speculative transactions are strictly limited.

(ii) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to the risk that fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market interest rates. To minimize uncertainty and net interest expense due to interest rate fluctuations, the
Group monitors the market movements of interest rate and forecasts and thus maintains appropriate financial
instruments.
[Risk]
‐ Risk of volatility in net interest expenses on financial instruments such as deposits due to changes in market interest
rate
‐ Risk of future cash flows volatility of borrowings due to changes in market interest rate
‐ Risk of changes in interest rates on accounts and notes receivable due to changes in market interest rate
[Strategy]
‐ The Group manages interest rate risk with a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate borrowings, The Group enters
into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and currency swaps to hedge the risk of cash flow
fluctuations arising from changes in interest rates.
‐ The Group is on the principle that the contracts of derivative financial instruments are limited to hedging instruments
for long‐term borrowings and bonds, and it matches the key terms of the hedged items such as the maturity, size and
interest payment date, etc. and keeps them until maturity.
(iii) Raw material price risk
The Group is affected by the price volatility of certain raw materials. Its operating activities in sales segment require
manufacturing through the ongoing purchase of raw materials and therefore, the Group is exposed to changes in such
prices depending on its forecast purchases. In order to minimize uncertainty and cost of sales due to raw material price
fluctuations, the Group monitors raw material price fluctuations and forecast data and operates appropriate financial
instruments based on the result.
[Risk]
‐ Risk of change in purchase price of inventories such as raw materials due to market price fluctuations
‐ Risk of change in future cash flows of cost of sales due to market price fluctuations
[Strategy]
‐ The Group hedges the risk of cash flow fluctuations due to price fluctuations by using derivatives such as raw material
swaps for some of the forecast transactions among its raw material purchases.
‐ The Group, in principle, limits the execution of derivatives contracts to hedging instruments for certain raw materials,
matches the hedged items and critical terms, and holds them until maturity.
(4) Capital management
The fundamental goal of capital management is to maintain on sound financial structure. As for this to be maintained,
the Group uses debt ratio as indicator of capital management. The debt ratio is calculated as total liability divided by
total equity.

(i) Fair value and carrying amount, Continued
The Group measured the fair value of financial instruments as follows:
• The fair value of financial assets traded within the market is measured at the closing bid price quoted at the end of
the reporting period.
• The fair value of the derivatives is measured at the present value of the difference between contractual forward
price and future forward price at the end of the reporting period discounted for the remaining period of the contract.
