Report on Review of Condensed Separate Interim Financial Statements
(English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean)
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
KB Financial Group Inc.
Reviewed Financial Statements
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of KB Financial Group Inc. (the “Company”). These condensed separate interim financial statements consist of the separate interim statement of financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2026, and the related separate interim statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and material accounting policy information and other selected explanatory notes, expressed in Korean won.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (“Korean IFRS”) 1034 Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of condensed separate interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed separate interim financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with quarterly or semi-annual review standards established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean IFRS 1034 Interim Financial Reporting.
1
Other Matters
We have audited the separate statement of financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025, and the related separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing. We expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in our audit report dated March 6, 2026. The separate statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025, presented herein for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the above audited statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025.
Review standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The procedures and practices used in the Republic of Korea to review such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.

Notes to the Separate Interim Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 and 2025 (Unaudited), and December 31, 2025
2.1 Application of Korean IFRS (cont’d)
The Company’s condensed separate interim financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, have been prepared in accordance with Korean IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting and contain less information than is required in annual separate financial statements. Selected explanatory notes include descriptions of transactions or events that are significant in understanding change in financial position and financial performance of the Company since the end of the previous annual reporting period. These separate interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean IFRS which is effective or early adopted as of March 31, 2026.
2.1.1 The Company has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2026.
| • | Amendments to Korean IFRS No.1109 Financial Instruments, Korean IFRS No.1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures |
Korean IFRS No.1109 Financial Instruments and Korean IFRS No.1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures have been amended to respond to recent questions arising in practice, and to include new requirements. These amendments do not have a significant impact on the financial statements. These amendments:
| • | clarify the date of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system; |
| • | clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion; |
| • | add new disclosures of impact on the entity and the extent to which the entity is exposed for each type of financial instruments if the timing or amount of contractual cash flow changes due to amendment of contract term; and |
| • | update the disclosures for equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) |
| • | Annual Improvements to Korean IFRS - Volume 11 |
Annual Improvements to Korean IFRS - Volume 11 should be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. These amendments do not have a significant impact on the financial statements.
| • | Korean IFRS No.1101 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards: Hedge accounting by a first-time adopter |
| • | Korean IFRS No.1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Gain or loss on derecognition and implementation guidance |
| • | Korean IFRS No.1109 Financial Instruments: Derecognition of lease liabilities and definition of transaction price |
| • | Korean IFRS No.1110 Consolidated Financial Statements: Determination of a ‘de facto agent’ |
| • | Korean IFRS No.1007 Statement of Cash Flows: Cost method |
2.1.2 The following are the accounting standards that have been issued but were not mandatory for annual reporting periods ending on December 31, 2026.
| • | Korean IFRS No.1118 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements |
Korean IFRS No.1118 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” replaces Korean IFRS No.1001 “Presentation of Financial Statements.” Korean IFRS No.1118 is expected to enhance the comparability of financial performance among similar entities by providing users with more useful information for analyzing and comparing an entity’s performance based on the income statement.
When the Company prepares its financial statements by applying Korean IFRS No.1118, the following material accounting policies are expected to result in significant differences compared to the current financial statements. These items do not include all potential differences and may be subject to change based on further analysis.

Korean IFRS No.1118 requires all income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss to be classified into one of five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes, and discontinued operations. The Standard classifies all income and expenses not attributable to the investing, financing, income tax, or discontinued operations categories as operating and defines operating profit or loss as a residual measure. The Company is required to assess its main business activities in determining the classification of income and expenses. Where the Company’s main business activities include investing in a particular type of asset or providing financing to customers, certain income and expenses that would otherwise be classified as investing or financing are classified as operating. Accordingly, operating profit or loss determined under Korean IFRS No.1118 may differ significantly from that determined under Korean IFRS No.1001.The Standard requires the disclosure, in the notes, of operating profit or loss determined in accordance with Korean IFRS No.1001, as well as a reconciliation between operating profit or loss under Korean IFRS No.1118 and that determined in accordance with Korean IFRS No.1001.
In addition, Korean IFRS No.1118 requires the presentation in the statement of profit or loss of “operating profit or loss,” comprising all income and expenses classified in the operating category; “profit or loss before financing and income taxes,” comprising operating profit or loss and all income and expenses classified in the investing category; and “profit or loss.” However, where the Company’s main business activities include providing financing to customers, the presentation of “profit or loss before financing and income taxes” may not be required, depending on the accounting policy applied.
| • | Introduction of disclosure of management-defined performance measures |
Korean IFRS No.1118 introduces new disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures (MPMs). MPMs are defined as subtotals of income and expenses that are not specified in paragraph 118 of the Standard and are not otherwise required to be presented or disclosed under Korean IFRS. These measures are used by an entity in public communications outside the financial statements and are intended to communicate management’s view of the entity’s financial performance to users of the financial statements.
When the Company reports MPMs, it is required to disclose the reasons why such measures provide useful information, how those measures are calculated, and a reconciliation between those measures and the most directly comparable subtotal specified in Korean IFRS No.1118. In addition, the Company is required to disclose the income tax effects and the effects on non-controlling interests for each reconciling item.
| • | Changes in classification of cash flows |
Consequential amendments have been made to Korean IFRS No.1007 “Statement of Cash Flows” following the issuance of Korean IFRS No.1118. Under these amendments, the starting point for determining cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method has been changed from profit or loss to operating profit or loss, and the accounting policy choice for the classification of interest and dividends has been eliminated.
Korean IFRS No.1118 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. In accordance with Korean IFRS No.1008 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors,” the Standard is required to be applied retrospectively, and accordingly, the comparative information for the year ending December 31, 2026 will be restated. The amendments to Korean IFRS No.1007 and No.1033, as well as the revised Korean IFRS No.1008 and No.1107 resulting from the issuance of Korean IFRS No.1118, are effective when Korean IFRS No.1118 is applied.

2.1.2 The following are the accounting standards that have been established or announced but have not yet been implemented, which the Group has not applied (cont’d)
As the mandatory effective date of Korean IFRS No.1118 has not yet been reached, the Company has not applied the Standard and plans to present its first interim financial statements for the period ending March 31, 2027 in accordance with Korean IFRS No.1118. Based on the information available as of March 31, 2026, the Company is in the process of assessing the financial impact of adopting Korean IFRS No.1118, establishing accounting policies, and implementing changes to its accounting systems, and is performing a preliminary overall assessment of the impact of applying the Standard.
2.2 Measurement Basis
The separate financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified.
2.3 Functional and Presentation Currency
Items included in the separate financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (“functional currency”). The separate financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
2.4 Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company applies accounting policies and uses judgements, accounting estimates, and assumptions that may have a significant impact on the assets (liabilities) and incomes (expenses) in preparing the separate financial statements. Management’s estimates of outcomes may differ from actual outcomes if management’s estimates and assumptions based on management’s best judgment are different from the actual environment.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are continually evaluated, and changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are changed and in any future periods affected.
Uncertainties in estimates and assumptions with significant risks used in the preparation of these condensed separate interim financial statements are the same as 2025 financial statements, except for the method of estimating income tax expense.
3. Material Accounting Policies
The material accounting policies and calculation methods applied in the preparation of these condensed separate interim financial statements are the same as those applied to the separate financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the impact of changes due to adopting new and amended standards and interpretations described in Note 2.1 and below paragraph.
The Company is subject to Pillar 2 income taxes, and has applied a temporary exemption provision regarding the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes related to the Pillar 2 rules.
Income tax expense for the interim period is measured applying the expected average annual income tax rate applicable on expected total annual income.

The Company maintains allowances for loan losses associated with credit risk of loans to manage its credit risk.
The Company assesses expected credit losses and recognizes loss allowances of financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are excluded. Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of possible credit losses occurring in a certain range by reflecting reasonable and supportable information that is reasonably available at the end of the reporting period without undue cost or effort, including information about past events, current conditions, and forecasts of future economic conditions. The Company measures the expected credit losses on loans classified as financial assets at amortized cost, by deducting allowances for credit losses. The expected credit losses of loans classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are presented in other comprehensive income in the financial statements.

4.3 Liquidity Risk
4.3.1 Overview of liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is a risk that the Company becomes insolvent due to the mismatch between the inflow and outflow of funds, unexpected cash outflows, or a risk of loss due to financing funds at a high interest rate or disposing of securities at an unfavorable price due to lack of available funds. The Company manages its liquidity risk through analysis of the contractual maturity of all financial assets and liabilities and discloses in six categories such as on demand, less than one month, between one month to three months, between three months to one year, between one year to five years, and over five years.
4.3.2. Liquidity risk management
The liquidity risk is managed by risk management policies and liquidity risk management guidelines set forth in these policies that apply to all risk management policies and procedures that may arise throughout the overall business of the Company.
4.3.3. Analysis of remaining contractual maturity of financial liabilities
The cash flows disclosed in the maturity analysis are undiscounted contractual amounts including principal and future interest payments; as such, amounts in the table below do not match with those in the statements of financial position which are based on discounted cash flows. The future interest payments for floating-rate liabilities are calculated on the assumption that the current interest rate is the same until maturity.

4.4 Market Risk
4.4.1 Concept
Market risk refers to risks that can result in losses due to changes in market factors such as interest rate, stock price, and foreign exchange rate, etc. The Company manages the market risks by dividing them into those arising from the trading position and those arising from the non-trading position.
4.4.2 Trading position
In accordance with Financial Holding Companies Act, the Company’s main business is to control financial companies or companies closely related to the financial service. And the Company cannot perform any other business other than managing activities as a holding company, therefore there is no risk of trading position.
4.4.3 Non-trading position
Non-trading position refers to the part except trading position, and the main risk the Company is managing is interest rate risk.
4.4.3.1 Interest rate risk
(a) Definition of interest rate risk
Interest rate risk refers to the risk of changes in the value (fair value) of the items in the statement of financial position due to changes in interest rate and the risk of changes in cash flows related to interest income and interest expense arising from investment and financing activities.
(b) Observation method and management indicator on interest rate risk
The main objective of interest rate risk management is to protect the value changes from interest rate fluctuations. In addition to the Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (“IRRBB”) standard methodology required for disclosure to measure interest rate risk.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company discloses the fair value of each class of assets and liabilities in a way that permits it to be compared with its carrying amount at the end of each reporting period. The best evidence of fair value of financial instruments is quoted price in an active market.

5.1.1 Carrying amount and fair value of financial assets and liabilities by category as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, are as follows: (cont’d)
Methods of determining fair value of financial instruments are as follows:
| Cash and due from financial institutions |
Fair value of cash is same as carrying amount. Carrying amount of demand deposit and settlement deposit is a reasonable approximation of fair value because these financial instruments do not have a fixed maturity and are receivable on demand. Fair value of general deposit is measured using Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) Model. | |
| Securities |
Fair value of financial instruments that are quoted in an active market is determined using the quoted prices. If there is no quoted price, fair value is determined using external professional valuation institutions. The institutions use one or more valuation techniques that are deemed appropriate considering the characteristics of the financial instruments among DCF Model, Imputed Market Value Model, Free Cash Flow to Equity Model, Dividend Discount Model, Risk Adjusted Discount Rate Method, and Net Asset Value Method. | |
| Derivatives |
Fair value of exchange traded derivatives is determined using quoted price in an active market, and fair value of OTC derivatives is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses internally developed valuation models that are widely used by market participants to determine fair value of plain vanilla OTC derivatives including options, interest rate swaps, and currency swaps, based on observable market parameters. However, some complex financial instruments are valued using appropriate models developed from generally accepted market valuation models including the Finite Difference Method (“FDM”), and the MonteCarlo Simulation or valuation results from independent external professional valuation institution. | |
| Loans |
Fair value of loans is determined using DCF model discounting the expected cash flows, which are contractual cash flows adjusted by the expected prepayment rate, at an appropriate discount rate. | |
| Borrowings |
DCF model is used to determine the fair value of borrowings, but in the case of short-term maturity, carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value. | |
| Debentures |
Fair value is determined by using valuation results of external professional valuation institutions, which are calculated using market inputs. | |
| Other financial assets and other financial liabilities |
Carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value because other financial assets and other financial liabilities are temporary accounts used for other various transactions and their maturities are relatively short or not defined. | |

5.1.2 Fair value hierarchy
The Company believes that valuation techniques used for measuring the fair value of financial instruments are reasonable and that the fair value recognized in the statements of financial position is appropriate. However, the fair value of the financial instruments recognized in the statements of financial position may be different if other valuation techniques or assumptions are used. Additionally, as there are a variety of valuation techniques and assumptions used in measuring fair value, it may be difficult to reasonably compare the fair value with that of other financial institutions.
The Company classifies and discloses fair value of the financial instruments into the three fair value levels as follows:
| Level 1 : | The fair values are based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. | |
| Level 2 : | The fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. | |
| Level 3 : | The fair values are based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. | |
The fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. If an observable input requires an adjustment using an unobservable input and that adjustment results in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement, the resulting measurement would be categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
5.1.2.1 Fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities at fair value in the statements of financial position

5.2.3.2 Sensitivity analysis of changes in unobservable inputs
Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments is performed to measure favorable and unfavorable changes in fair value of financial instruments which are affected by unobservable parameters, using a statistical technique. When the fair value is affected by more than one input parameter, the amounts represent the most favorable or most unfavorable outcome. There are hybrid securities whose fair value changes are recognized in profit or loss.
Results of the sensitivity analysis of changes in unobservable inputs as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, are as follows:
