The size of the domestic telecommunications services market is determined based on various factors specific to Korea, including size of population that uses telecommunication services and telecommunications expenditures per capita. While it is possible for Korean telecommunication service providers to provide services abroad through acquisitions or otherwise, foreign telecommunication services markets have their own characteristics depending, among others, on the regulatory environment and demand for telecommunication services.

[Fixed-line Business]
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, SK Broadband Co., Ltd. (SK Broadband) recorded Won 3,103.0 billion in revenue on a consolidated basis, which represented a 3.8% increase from Won 2,988.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

A. | Industry Characteristics |
The domestic telecommunication service industry displays the typical characteristics of a domestic industry given that its coverage area is limited to Korea. As a result, the size of the industry is greatly affected by the domestic economic factors including the domestic user population and the level of telecommunication service expenditures in light of the domestic income level. Domestic telecommunication companies may expand overseas through acquisitions or direct expansion, but the overseas telecommunication service industries are subject to inherently different industry characteristics from the domestic one, depending on the regulatory and demand characteristics of each country.
The broadcasting business involves the planning, programming or production of broadcasting programs and transmission to viewers through telecommunication facilities. The broadcasting market can be categorized into terrestrial broadcasting, fixed-line TV broadcasting, satellite broadcasting and programming-providing businesses, in each case pursuant to the Broadcasting Act, as well as Internet multimedia broadcasting business pursuant to the Internet Multimedia Broadcast Services Act. SK Broadband engages in the fixed-line TV broadcasting business, which is defined as the business of managing and operating fixed-line TV broadcasting stations (including their facilities and employees for the purpose of providing multi-channel broadcasting) and providing broadcasts through transmission and line facilities. The Internet multimedia broadcasting refers to the broadcasting of programs through a combination of various contents including data, video, voice, sound and/or e-commerce, including real-time broadcasting, while guaranteeing a consistent service quality through a bidirectional Internet protocol using a broadband integrated information network.

As a result of the governments direct and indirect control over the fixed-line telecommunications industry, ranging from service licensing to business activities, the industrys overall growth potential and degree of competition are greatly affected by the governments regulatory policies. The fixed-line telecommunications industry is also a technology-intensive industry that evolves rapidly and continuously through the development of communications technology and equipment, which requires proactive responses in meeting the needs of subscribers by developing new services and penetrating the market. Fixed-line telecommunications services have become universal and essential means of communication and act as the foundation for integration and convergence with various other services. The essential nature of such services provides stable demand, resulting in low sensitivity to economic conditions.
In addition, the Korean fixed-line services industry is marked by a high level of market concentration, as the government is highly selective in granting telecommunications business licenses. While the competitive landscape of the fixed-line and wireless services markets is dominated by its three leading operators, the Company (including SK Broadband), KT and LG U+, the intensity of competition is growing as digitalization of communication technologies and devices leads to the convergence of fixed-line and wireless services, as well as broadcasting and telecommunications, and technology for faster data communication services is developed.
In the high-speed Internet services market, the demand for faster and more reliable premium Giga Internet services is increasing due to the growth in usage of home mobile networks using Wi-Fi and an increased consumption of high-definition large media content.
With the mergers and acquisitions among IPTV service providers and multiple service operators, the paid broadcasting market has reorganized around IPTV operators, and companies are moving away from competition based on subscriber base expansion to competition based on media platform services. The transition to a contactless service society due to COVID-19 has led to increased consumption of paid content by viewers, accelerating competition through the ability to source unique contents. The Company expects new growth in the home platform domain by providing customized services using ICT convergence technologies such as AI and big data in addition to differentiated contents.
In the corporate business market, the Company is continuing its efforts to generate stable returns by securing growth drivers in new service areas such as cloud computing, while also strengthening its competitiveness in the traditional fixed line-based business through expansion of core infrastructure including data centers, which have seen an increase in market demand recently.

C. | Cyclical Nature and Seasonality |
High-speed Internet and fixed-line telephone services operate in mature markets that are comparatively less sensitive to cyclical economic changes as the services provided by different operators have become less differentiated. TV services have become necessities that provide broadcasting, and the market, which is subject to a subscriber-based business model, has little sensitivity to cyclical economic changes. The telecommunications services market overall is not expected to be particularly affected by economic downturns due to the low income elasticity of demand for telecommunication services.

SK Broadband is engaged in a number of business areas including high-speed Internet, home telephone, corporate business, IPTV and cable TV pursuant to the relevant communications regulations such as the Telecommunications Business Act, the Internet Multimedia Broadcast Services Act and the Broadcasting Act. In each of its principal business areas, SK Broadband principally competes on the basis of price, service quality and speed. In the IPTV business, the ability to offer complex services and differentiated contents are becoming increasingly important. General telecommunications businesses operate in a licensed industry with a high barrier of entry, which is dominated by SK Broadband, KT and LG U+.
[Other Businesses]
The commercial retail data broadcasting channel business offers an interactive service that integrates television home shopping and data shopping services. Such service allows television viewers to use video-on-demand (VOD) services to purchase products sold on television home shopping channels, which were previously only available for purchase in real-time when such relevant programming was being broadcast.
In order to secure core competencies at an early stage and achieve differentiation, the Company has been actively searching for high-efficiency television channels while increasing the competitiveness of its content production capacity by building the Companys own media center and adopting a media wall with the objective of transforming it into an eco-friendly digital studio. In addition to enhancing the convenience of shopping experience by offering various media content on its mobile live platform, the Company was the first in the industry to launch a cloud-based television application service, Stoa ON, which provides personalized digital television shopping services. Furthermore, the Company has been establishing itself as a leading shopping channel service provider by securing a diverse product portfolio and engaging in product development in areas ranging from fashion to health food. Within three years following the spin-off of SK stoa Co., Ltd. (SK Stoa) into a separate entity, its commercial retail data broadcasting channel business has attained the leading position in the television commerce (T-commerce) market.

C. | Business-related Pollutants and Environmental Protection |
[SK Telecom]
The Company does not directly engage in any manufacturing and therefore does not undertake any industrial processes that emit pollutants into the air or industrial processes in which hazardous materials are used. Nevertheless, the Company clearly recognizes the severity of the climate crisis and has been diligently fulfilling its social obligations by establishing a systematic and practical environmental management strategy system. Under the vision of realizing a sustainable future based on ICT and to achieve Net Zero by 2050, the Company is making efforts to (1) preemptively respond to climate change, (2) improve its environmental management system and (3) create an eco-friendly green culture. To this end, the Company was one of the first IT companies in Korea to join the RE100 (Renewable Electricity 100%) initiative and signed a green premium contract with Korea Electric Power Corporation. The Company has been implementing company-wide adoption of renewable energy through efforts such as installing solar power generation equipment in its office buildings and base stations. In addition, the Company leads in energy savings and environmental protections based on ICT technology, and recently became the first company in the telecommunications industry to obtain carbon emission rights by reducing greenhouse gas through integration of telecommunications equipment and technology upgrades.
[SK Broadband]
SK Broadband does not directly engage in any manufacturing processes that emit environmental pollutants, and more than 99% of its greenhouse gas emissions is indirect emissions from its use of external electricity. SK Broadband was selected as a business subject to allocation of emission permits as part of Koreas greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme that commenced in 2015, and it actively fulfills its obligations and consistently achieves the targets set by the government.
In 2021, SK Broadband declared its goal to achieve Net Zero by 2045 in an effort to actively participate in the international communitys response to climate change. Prior to the declaration, SK Broadband had already subscribed to RE100 initiative in 2020. Since 2021, SK Broadband has participated in Korea Electrical Power Corporations renewable energy power purchase program, Green Premium, to implement RE100 and is considering the installation of additional solar power generation facilities to self-produce and use renewable energy.

(3) | Policies for Loss Allowance |
The Company establishes loss allowances based on the likelihood of recoverability of trade and other receivables based on their aging at the end of the period and past customer default experience for the past three years. With respect to trade receivables relating to wireless telecommunications services, the Company considers the likelihood of recovery based on past customer default experience and the length of default in connection with the type of default (e.g., whether the customers service has been terminated or is continued). Consistent with customary practice, the Company writes off trade and other receivables for which the prescription period has passed or that are determined to be impossible or economically too costly to collect, including receivables that are less than Won 200,000 and more than six months overdue and receivables that have been determined to be the subject of identity theft.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements 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 (KSAs) 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 that the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are not prepared fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with KIFRS 1034 Interim Financial Reporting.
Emphasis of matter
We draw to attention to Notes 3 and 36, which describes that pursuant to the resolution of shareholders meeting held on October 12, 2021, SK Telecom Co., Ltd. completed the spin-off of certain businesses as of November 1, 2021. The businesses spun off are presented as discontinued operations, and the comparative interim consolidated statements of profit or loss for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and related notes have been restated to present the discontinued operations separately from continuing operations.

Other matters
The interim consolidated statements of profit or loss, interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, interim consolidated statement of changes in equity and interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, prepared in accordance with KIFRS 1034 and presented for comparative purposes, have been reviewed by KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp. whose review report dated November 12, 2021 expressed an unqualified review conclusion. The accompanying interim consolidated statements of profit or loss, interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, interim consolidated statement of changes in equity and interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 presented for comparative purposes, except for the adjustments related to the discontinued operations as described in Notes 3 and 36 to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements, are not different, in all material respects, from the interim consolidated statements of profit or loss, interim consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, interim consolidated statement of changes in equity and interim consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021 reviewed by KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp.
Moreover, the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended which have been audited by KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp., in accordance with KSAs (not presented herein), whose report dated March 10, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021 presented for comparative purposes, is not different, in all material respects, from the above audited consolidated statement of financial position.
November 11, 2022
This report is effective as of November 11, 2022, the independent auditors review report date. Accordingly, certain material subsequent events or circumstances may have occurred during the period from the independent auditors review report date to the time this review report is used.
