D. Major Businesses

(1) Wireless business

The Company provides wireless telecommunications services, characterized by its competitive strengths in handheld devices, affordable pricing, network coverage and an extensive contents library. Since the introduction of services employing LTE technology in July 2011, the telecommunications market for such services has grown as demand for fast data transfer speeds and differentiated services has increased. Having reached one million subscribers by January 2012 and over 10 million subscribers by April 2013, the Company has solidified its leadership position in LTE services as it has done with its 3G services. In June 2013, the Company became the first telecommunications service provider in the world to provide commercial LTE-Advanced (“LTE-A”) services using carrier aggregation technology. In September 2013, beginning with the Seoul area, the Company also began offering wideband LTE service, which utilizes the 1.8 GHz band to enhance the customer experience of new and existing LTE customers. The Company plans to increase profitability by adaptively strengthening its fundamental competitive basis for customer retention to the age of large data. In order to transition to a competitive model based on differentiated customer experiences of products and services, the Company will pioneer information and communication technology (“ICT”) trends through innovative services such as ‘T-Phone’ which provides customers an innovative call experience. The Company is also improving the profitability of its wireless business through efficient capital expenditures and marketing and enhancement of marketing network and products.

In the business-to-business area, the Company is strengthening its solutions business through the implementation of five main solution products: Smart Store, Smart Work, Smart Cloud, Green & Safety and M–Ad & Payment. Since the commercial launch of its mobile IPTV services, “B tv Mobile,” in October 2012, the Company has gained over one million paying subscribers as of March 2014. The Company is the first telecommunications services provider in the world to provide full high definition streaming services using its LTE-A network. With increasing video on demand usage and the potential to expand into other business areas such as advertising and shopping, the Company expects that the mobile IPTV services business will grow in the mid- to long-term. Additionally, from a mid- to long-term perspective, the Company will continue its efforts to identify and develop new growth businesses, such as health care, while simultaneously considering opportunities for growth momentum utilizing the Company’s big data and related technologies in areas such as the intelligence business.

Search engine-based advertising has a certain appeal to small and medium-sized advertisers. Contents and other services include contents sales and providing certain types of services.

The Company delivered 1,241,337 treasury shares in respect of US$170,223,000 of the exercised aggregate principal amount and delivered cash in respect of the remainder due to the limit on foreign ownership. In connection with such conversion, the Company recognized Won 135,108 million in financial costs in 2013.

[SK Broadband]

SK Broadband acquired subscriberships of regional cable and other service providers on several different occasions. Such acquisitions were intended to secure a stable subscriber base for its broadband Internet service and, at the same time, increase the service coverage area. Because such acquisitions were conducted on a relatively small scale and involved purchase of subscriberships, SK Broadband did not believe such acquisitions rose to the level of purchasing an entire business line from another company or were likely to have a material impact on its business, and therefore decided that such acquisitions did not require resolutions of its shareholders.

[SK Communications]

In July 2011, there was a leak of personal information of subscribers of NATE and Cyworld websites operated by SK Communications. As of March 31, 2014, 22 lawsuits were filed against SK Communications, alleging that the leak was caused by its poor management of subscribers’ personal information and seeking damages of approximately Won 5.5 billion. With respect to a few of the lawsuits, the relevant district courts have rendered judgments for the relevant plaintiffs’ claims in part and SK Communications has appealed such judgments to the applicable high courts, where the cases are currently pending. Other cases remain pending at various district courts in Korea.

A. Industry Characteristics

As of December 31, 2013, the Korean mobile communication market can be considered to have reached its maturation stage with more than a 100% penetration rate. However, the Korean mobile communications market continues to improve in the quality of services with the help of advances in network-related technology and the development of highly advanced LTE-A, LTE and 3G smartphones which enable the provision of convergence services for multimedia contents, mobile commerce, telematics, new media and other related services. In addition, through the commercialization of LTE network in July 2011 and LTE-A network in June 2013, B2B businesses, such as the corporate “connected workforce” business which can directly contribute to an enhancement in productivity, are expected to grow rapidly. We expect network technologies will continue to evolve with wideband LTE-A service expected to be commercialized in the second half of 2014 and 3band LTE-A service, which bundles three different bandwidths, to be commercially available as early as late 2014.

D. Business Overview and Competitive Strengths

The Company is seeking to transform itself from a telecommunications service provider into a comprehensive ICT service provider. It has continued to innovate the scope of its services and achieved strong growth in subscribers amid fierce competition and rate cuts, although it experienced a temporary increase in expenses during the first three months of 2014 due to excessive competition. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded Won 4.2 trillion in revenue and Won 250 billion in operating income on a consolidated basis and Won 3.3 trillion in revenue and Won 250 billion in operating income on a separate basis.

The number of subscribers (including MVNO subscribers) as of March 31, 2014 was 27.81 million, an increase of approximately 460,000 from the previous quarter. In particular, the number of smartphone subscribers as of March 31, 2014 was 18.82 million, an increase of approximately 530,000 from the previous quarter, including 14.77 million LTE subscribers, solidifying the Company’s market leadership. Following the launch of commercial LTE services in July 2011, the Company became the first telecommunications service provider in the world to launch commercial LTE-A services in June 2013. In September 2013, the Company launched commercial wideband LTE services utilizing its newly acquired 1.8 GHz band. Following provision of such services throughout Seoul and other metropolitan cities, the Company plans to expand coverage nationwide by July 2014. By launching various high quality services utilizing the LTE-A and wideband LTE networks such as group video conference call services, full high definition mobile IPTV streaming services, and ‘T Baseball Multiview,’ which allows users to watch multiple baseball games on one screen, the Company plans to provide an innovative user experience, enhance customer satisfaction and increase profitability.

The Company has proved that it has superior network quality compared to its competitors according to the Korea Communications Commission quality evaluations. The Company has also proved to be the leader in Korea’s top three customer satisfaction indices: according to the National Customer Satisfaction Index, Korean Customer Satisfaction Index and Korean Standard Service Quality Index, the Company has continued to hold the leading position for 17 years, 16 years and 14 years, respectively.

SK Telink, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, expanded its operations to the MVNO business based on its technical expertise and know-how obtained in its international telecommunications business and launched its MVNO service, 7Mobile, which is offered at reasonable rates and provides excellent quality. SK Telink is increasing its efforts to develop low-cost distribution channels and create niche markets through targeted marketing towards customers with lower average revenue per user. An MVNO leases the networks of a mobile network operator (“MNO”) and provides wireless telecommunication services under its own brand and fee structure, without owning telecommunication networks or frequencies.

Network O&S, a subsidiary of the Company responsible for the operation of the Company’s base stations and related transmission and power facilities, offers quality fixed-line and wireless network services to customers, including mobile office products to business customers.

[Fixed-line Business]

A. Industry Characteristics

As subscribers to various bundled wireless and fixed-line products are continuing to increase, the IPTV business is evolving to satisfy diverse customer needs for media services through differentiated service offerings including mobile IPTV, bundled wireless and IPTV products and “smart” set-top box services for smart televisions. The market for our corporate business is also growing with cloud computing, mobile offices and other new information and communications technologies being commercialized. The increased usage of smartphones and tablet computers, the pilot programming of commercial ultra-high definition television broadcasting services and competition for wideband LTE services has greatly increased data traffic, thereby further emphasizing the importance of fixed-line network infrastructure that is capable of handling large capacities of data traffic with stability and efficiency.

C. Cyclical Nature and Seasonality

High-speed Internet, fixed-line telephone and IPTV services are mature markets that are generally not sensitive to cyclical economic changes due to the easing of competition resulting from the decrease in differentiation between service providers and the nature of the respective services. 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.

D. Business Overview and Competitive Strengths

In 1999, the Company was the first in the world to commence commercial ADSL services and on the back of its premium technology and enhanced competitiveness achieved through bundled products, it is currently expanding its subscriber base across all of its businesses, including broadband Internet, telephone and IPTV. In particular, SK Broadband has positioned itself to focus on corporate customer services and IPTV services as key strategic areas for mid- to long-term growth, exploiting opportunities in new ICT-based businesses that have led to revenue growth, and providing differentiated contents in its IPTV business by securing popular programming which includes exclusive children’s channels and live broadcasts of Major League Baseball games. In addition, in September 2013, the Company developed video compression technology for its ultra-high definition IPTV services and, in the first quarter of 2014, the Company developed and commercialized transmission technology that enables efficient utilization of the limited frequencies in hybrid fiber-coaxial networks. Furthermore, the Company recently gained a competitive advantage for the provision of high-quantity, high-quality broadcasting by becoming the first service provider in the IPTV industry to commercialize direct-to-TV ultra high-definition service without the installation of set-top boxes.

SK Telink provides international telecommunications service. SK Telink has been able to establish itself as a market leader as a result of its affordable pricing, proactive marketing and the quality of its services. It launched a mobile phone-based international calling service under the brand name “00700” in 1998, creating a new niche market within the long-distance telephony market that was otherwise dominated by existing service providers. In 2003, SK Telink was designated a common carrier for international calling services, which allowed us to expand our international calling services to fixed-line international calling services. SK Telink plans to strategically target the convergence of wireless and fixed-line telecommunications and strengthen its existing business, including international and long-distance calling services, value-added services for local calling and B2B services, and video conference call services while aiming to satisfy the diverse needs of customers through the provision of quality solutions at reasonable prices.

[Other Business]

A. Industry Characteristics

As the number of smartphones distributed in Korea exceeds 30 million, the growth in various mobile devices has spurred the rise of the service provider with a strong platform business as the leader in the ICT market. It is becoming increasingly important to enhance competitiveness by building a platform with large data capacity to handle the increase in data transmission.

A platform business acts as an intermediary by promoting interactions among various customer groups, thereby generating new values. It is important for a platform business to continually attract subscribers and users and to create an ecosystem with certain lock-in effects. A platform can exist in various forms, including as a technological standard (iOS, Android OS), a subscriber-based service platform (Facebook, Twitter) or a marketplace (Amazon, T Store). Platform businesses are evolving and expanding globally.

A platform business has strong growth potential due to its connectivity with related services and ease of global expansion. Apple became a world-leading smartphone producer based on its innovative design and the competitive strength of its App Store platform. Google has created a new ecosystem of long-tail advertising by attracting millions of third parties to its advertising platform, as well as showing strong growth in mobile markets with its competitive platform based on Android OS. It is becoming increasingly important to enhance competitiveness through a database that can register and analyze purchase patterns of customers across all areas and a platform with large data capacity to utilize this database and provide differentiated services to customers.

Table of Contents

B. Growth Potential

The scope and value generated by the platform business, including application and content marketplaces and N-screen services, continues to increase, as smartphones and tablet computers become more popular and the bandwidth and speed of network infrastructure improve. As the wireless network evolves to LTE, business opportunities for the platform business exist, including multimedia streaming, N-screen service based on cloud technology and high-definition location-based services. Since the platform business realizes profit by connecting with advertisements or commerce sites after building a critical mass of subscribers and traffic, the recent growth in the advertising and commerce markets is expected to present an opportunity for platform businesses. The importance of building a platform with large data capacity that is connected to various digital contents and commerce is expected to increase in the future.

C. Domestic and Overseas Market Conditions

(1) Commerce markets

The Company expects that online commerce markets will continue to grow due to the growth potential of the Internet shopping population and the strengthening of online business models by off-line operators.

(2) Digital contents

The growth of application marketplaces, which started with Apple’s App Store, provides the platform business with new opportunities for revenue generation. The competitive paradigm is shifting from a competition among platform operators toward a competition among eco-systems that include application developers as well as platform operators.

Due to an increase in the number of devices owned by each user and an increase in network speed, each user can now enjoy music or video files anywhere and anytime by storing them in cloud servers, which is called N-screen service. Users can recommend music to other users through social networking services and this is expected to become a distribution model for digital media contents. Various service providers are competing in this market expecting a strong growth in the online and mobile video market.

D. Business Overview and Competitive Strengths

The Company plans to expand its platform ecosystem focusing on its “Open & Collaboration” motto in operating its commerce business such as 11 th Street and OK Cashbag, its digital contents business such as T Store and Hoppin, and its location-based service business such as T-Map Navigation, thereby ultimately increasing its enterprise value.

(1) Commerce

11th Street, an online marketplace, has continued its growth through effective marketing and customer satisfaction. Despite its later entry into the online commerce market (launched in 2008) which was already divided between Auction and G-Market, it is leading the domestic e-commerce market and is also firmly establishing its position as the leader in the mobile commerce market. Growth plans involving overseas joint ventures based on 11th Street’s business expertise have resulted in the successful launch of an open online commerce market in Turkey in partnership with Doğuş Group in March 2013. In Indonesia, an open market platform was successfully launched through a joint venture established in July 2013 with PT XM Axiata Tbk, an Indonesian wireless telecommunications company.

OK Cashbag is a point-based loyalty marketing program which has grown to become a global top-tier loyalty marketing program since its inception in 1999. Customers have access to increased benefits through accumulation of loyalty reward points and partner companies use OK Cashbag as a marketing resource. With 37 million subscribers, OK Cashbag maintains a leading position in the industry and plans to continue strengthening its position by providing customized services befitting customers’ needs and market conditions.

(3) Digital contents

B. Changes to Accounting Standards Adopted During 2012

(1) Financial Instruments: Disclosures

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No.1107, ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’ since January 1, 2012. The amendments require disclosing the nature of transferred assets, their carrying amount, and the description of risks and rewards for each class of transferred financial assets that are not derecognized in their entirety. If the Company derecognizes transferred financial assets but still retains their specific risks and rewards, the amendments require additional disclosures of their risks.

(2) Presentation of Financial Statements

The Company adopted the amendments pursuant to the amended K-IFRS No. 1001, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ starting with the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s operating income is calculated as operating revenue less operating expense. Operating expense represents expense incurred from the Company’s main operating activities and includes cost of products that have been resold and selling, general and administrative expenses.

C. Changes to Accounting Standards Adopted During 2013

(1) Presentation of Financial Statements

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1001, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ since January 1, 2013, classified items within other comprehensive income by nature and presented “items that are not subsequently recycled through profit or loss” and “items that are subsequently reclassified if certain conditions are met” as a group.

(2) Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1110, ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ since January 1, 2013. The standard introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated. Subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by a controlling entity or a subsidiary of a controlling company. A controlling entity or a subsidiary of a controlling company controls a subsidiary when the controlling entity or the subsidiary of the controlling company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary.

30

Table of Contents

(3) Joint Arrangements

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1111, ‘Joint Arrangements’ since January 1, 2013. The standard classifies joint arrangements into two types—joint operations and joint ventures. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint ventures) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. The standard requires a joint operator to recognize and measure the assets and liabilities (and recognize the related revenues and expenses) in relation to its interest in the arrangement in accordance with relevant IFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The standard requires a joint venture to recognize an investment and to account for that investment using the equity method.

(4) Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1112, ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ since January 1, 2013. The standard brings together into a single standard all the disclosure requirements about an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The Company is currently assessing the disclosure requirements for interests in subsidiaries, interests in joint arrangements and associates and unconsolidated structured entities in comparison with the existing disclosures. The standard requires the disclosure of information about the nature, risks and financial effects of these interests.

(5) Employee Benefits

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1019, ‘Employee Benefits’ since January 1, 2013. The standard requires recognition of actuarial gains and losses immediately in other comprehensive income and to calculate expected return on plan assets based on the rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation.

(6) Fair Value Measurement

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1113, ‘Fair Value Measurement’ since January 1, 2013. The standard defines fair value and a single framework for fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements.

D. Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies

(1) Consolidated Financial Statements

In accordance with the transitional provision on K-IFRS No. 1110, the Company assessed control on investees as of January 1, 2013, the initial adoption date of the standard, and there have been no changes in subsidiaries upon adoption of the standard.

B. Changes to Accounting Standards Adopted During 2012

(1) Financial Instruments: Disclosures

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No.1107, ‘Financial Instruments: Disclosures’ since January 1, 2012. The amendments require disclosing the nature of transferred assets, their carrying amount, and the description of risks and rewards for each class of transferred financial assets that are not derecognized in their entirety. If the Company derecognizes transferred financial assets but still retains their specific risks and rewards, the amendments require additional disclosures of their risks.

32

Table of Contents

(2) Presentation of Financial Statements

The Company adopted the amendments pursuant to the amended K-IFRS No. 1001, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ starting with the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s operating income is calculated as operating revenue less operating expense. Operating expense represents expense incurred from the Company’s main operating activities and includes cost of products that have been resold and selling, general and administrative expenses.

C. Changes to Accounting Standards Adopted During 2013

(1) Presentation of Financial Statements

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1001, ‘Presentation of Financial Statements’ since January 1, 2013, classified items within other comprehensive income by nature and presented “items that are not subsequently recycled through profit or loss” and “items that are subsequently reclassified if certain conditions are met” as a group.

(2) Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1110, ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ since January 1, 2013. The standard introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated. Subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by a controlling entity or a subsidiary of a controlling company. A controlling entity or a subsidiary of a controlling company controls a subsidiary when the controlling entity or the subsidiary of the controlling company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary.

(3) Joint Arrangements

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1111, ‘Joint Arrangements’ since January 1, 2013. The standard classifies joint arrangements into two types—joint operations and joint ventures. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. The standard requires a joint operator to recognize and measure the assets and liabilities (and recognize the related revenues and expenses) in relation to its interest in the arrangement in accordance with relevant IFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The standard requires a joint venturer to recognize an investment and to account for that investment using the equity method.

(4) Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1112, ‘Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities’ since January 1, 2013. The standard brings together into a single standard all the disclosure requirements about an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The Company is currently assessing the disclosure requirements for interests in subsidiaries, interests in joint arrangements and associates and unconsolidated structured entities in comparison with the existing disclosures. The standard requires the disclosure of information about the nature, risks and financial effects of these interests.

(5) Employee Benefits

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1019, ‘Employee Benefits’ since January 1, 2013. The standard requires recognition of actuarial gains and losses immediately in other comprehensive income and to calculate expected return on plan assets based on the rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation.

33

Table of Contents

(6) Fair Value Measurement

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1113, ‘Fair Value Measurement’ since January 1, 2013. The standard defines fair value and a single framework for fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements.

D. Impact of Changes in Accounting Policies

(1) Consolidated Financial Statements

In accordance with the transitional provision on K-IFRS No. 1110, the Company assessed control on investees as of January 1, 2013, the initial adoption date of the standard, and there have been no changes in subsidiaries upon adoption of the standard.

  1. K-IFRS: Preparation, Impact to Financial Statements and Changes in the Accounting Principles Implemented

— Transition to K-IFRS

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with K-IFRS starting from fiscal year 2011 which commenced on January 1, 2011.

The Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2010, which are presented for comparison, were prepared in accordance with K-IFRS with January 1, 2010 as the transition date and pursuant to K-IFRS No. 1101, “First-time Adoption of Korean International Financial Reporting Standards.”

[SK Telecom]

A. Material Legal Proceedings

(1) Claim for copyright license fees regarding “Coloring” services

On May 7, 2010, Korea Music Copyright Association (“KOMCA”) filed a lawsuit with the court demanding that the Company pay KOMCA license fees for the Company’s “Coloring” services. The court rendered a judgment against the Company ordering the Company to pay Won 570 million to KOMCA, which was affirmed by the appellate court on October 26, 2011. The Company filed an appeal at the Supreme Court of Korea and the judgment was overturned on July 11, 2013. The case was remanded down to the appellate court and the Company expects to successfully defend the suit, based on recent decisions in similar suits involving KT and LGU+. While the Company does not expect this litigation to have an immediate impact on the Company’s business or results of operation as the final outcome of this litigation has not been determined, the Company may be required to pay increased annual license fees to KOMCA if the final judgment is rendered against the Company.

  • Actual impact on the Company’s business and financial condition from the litigation may be different from the Company’s expectation stated above.

B. Other Matters

(1) Pledged assets and covenants

SK Broadband has provided “geun” mortgage amounting to Won 14.9 billion to others, including Ilsan Guksa, on a part of its buildings in connection with the leasing of the buildings.

In 2011, PS&Marketing, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement to borrow up to Won 30 billion of working capital from Shinhan Bank.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To The Board of Directors and Shareholders

SK Telecom Co., Ltd.:

Reviewed financial statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of SK Telecom Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of March 31, 2014, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”) No.1034, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, and for such internal controls as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our reviews.

We did not review the financial statements of SK Broadband Co., Ltd., a domestic subsidiary, and an associate, whose financial statements constitute 11.9% of the Group’s consolidated operating revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. Other auditors reviewed those financial statements and our report, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these entities, is based solely on the reports of other auditors.

We conducted our reviews 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 consists principally 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea 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 reviews and the reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not prepared fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

Highlights

As discussed in note 34 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Group disposed of a controlling equity interest in Loen Entertainment, Inc., during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Group presented the results of operations of Loan Entertainment, Inc. as a discontinued operation and accordingly restated the comparative information for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.

Other matters

The consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us and our report thereon, dated February 21, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2013, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us in all material respects.

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such condensed consolidated interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean review standards and their application in practice.

  1. Basis of Preparation

(1) Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”), as prescribed in the Act on External Audits of Stock Companies .

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as part of the period covered by the Group’s K-IFRS annual financial statements. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2013. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for full annual financial statements.

(2) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with K-IFRS 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.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

(3) Common control transactions

SK Holdings Co., Ltd. (“the Ultimate Controlling Entity”) is the Ultimate Controlling Entity of the Parent Company because it has de facto control of the Parent Company. Accordingly, gains and losses from business acquisitions and dispositions involving entities that are under the control of the Ultimate Controlling Entity are accounted for as common control transactions within equity.

  1. Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described below, the accounting policies applied by the Group in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. The following changes in accounting policy are also expected to be reflected in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2014.

(1) Changes in accounting policies

1) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

The Group has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No.1032, ‘Financial instruments: Presentation’ since January 1, 2014. This standard requires financial assets and financial liabilities being offset and the presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The right of set-off that cannot be contingent on a future event, and must be legally enforceable in all of the following circumstances: (i) the normal course of business; (ii) an event of default; and (iii) an event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity or any of the counterparties.

To meet the net settlement criterion, all settlements need to remove or reduce credit risk or liquidity risk as minor level. In case of single payment or payment period which can handle bonds and payables, settlement result needs to be paid as same as practical settle net.

There is no material impact of the application of this amendment on the consolidated financial statements.

  1. Operating Segments

The Group’s operating segments have been determined to be each business unit, for which the Group provides independent services and merchandise. The Group’s reportable segments are: 1) cellular services, which include cellular voice service, wireless data service and wireless internet services, and 2) fixed-line telecommunication services, which include telephone services, internet services, and leased line services. All other operating segments, which include the Group’s internet portal services and other operations, do not meet the quantitative thresholds to be considered reportable segments and are presented as Other.

Cellular services include cellular voice service, wireless data service and wireless internet services. Fixed-line telecommunication services include telephone services, internet services, and leased line services. Other includes the Group’s Internet portal services, game manufacturing and other immaterial operations.

(1) Financial risk management, Continued

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from floating-rate borrowings and debentures. As of March 31, 2014, floating-rate borrowings and debentures amount to ₩27,012 million and ₩643,032 million respectively, the Group has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk related to floating-rate debentures. (Refer to Note 20) If interest rate only increases (decreases) by 1%, income before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 would have been changed ₩69 million due to the interest expense from floating-rate borrowings.

2) 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 his/her contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

(In millions of won) March 31, 2014 December 31, 2013
Cash and cash equivalents 1,066,981 1,398,548
Financial instruments 294,908 319,616

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 21,609 20,532
4,772,722 5,130,581

To manage credit risk, the Group evaluates the credit worthiness of each customer or counterparty considering the party’s financial information, its own trading records and other factors; based on such information, the Group establishes credit limits for each customer or counterparty.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, the Group has no trade and other receivables or loans which have indications of significant impairment loss or are overdue for a prolonged period. As a result, the Group believes that the possibility of default is remote. Also, the Group’s credit risk can rise due to transactions with financial institutions related to its cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and derivates. To minimize such risk, the Group has a policy to deal with high credit worthy financial institutions. The amount of maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group is the carrying amount of financial assets as of March 31, 2014.

In addition, the aging of trade and other receivables that are overdue at the end of the reporting period but not impaired is stated in Note 6 and the analysis of financial assets that are individually determined to be impaired at the end of the reporting period is stated in Note 28.

(3) Fair value, Continued

Fair value of the financial instruments that are traded in an active market is measured based on the quoted market price at the end of the reporting date. Disclosed market price of the financial assets held by the Group is the bid price.

Fair value of the financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using the valuation method. The Group uses the various valuation methods and makes assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting period. Fair value of financial instruments such as long-term liabilities is measured using the various methods including estimated discounted cash flow method.

Fair values of accounts receivable – trade, and accounts payable – trade are considered to be carrying amount less impairment and fair value of financial liabilities for the disclosure purpose is estimated by discounting contractual future cash flows using the current market interest rate used for the similar financial instruments by the Group.

Interest rates used by the Group for the fair value measurement as of March 31, 2014 are as follows:

Interest rate
Derivative instruments 2.55~3.14%
Borrowings and debentures 3.39~3.78%

There have been no transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 for the three-month period ended 2014 and changes of financial assets classified as Level 3 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 are as follows:

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To The Board of Directors and Shareholders

SK Telecom Co., Ltd.:

Reviewed financial statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the condensed separate statement of financial position as of March 31, 2014, the related condensed separate statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”) No.1034 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, and for such internal controls as management determines necessary to enable the preparation of condensed separate interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed separate interim financial statements based on our reviews.

We conducted our reviews 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 consists principally 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of Korea 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 reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements referred to above are not prepared fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

Other matters

The separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013, and the related separate statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us and our report thereon, dated February 21, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2013, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us in all material respects.

Table of Contents

The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such condensed separate interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. Accordingly, this report and the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements are for use by those knowledgeable about Korean review standards and their application in practice.

  1. Basis of Presentation

(1) Statement of compliance

The condensed separate interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-IFRS”), as prescribed in the Act on External Audits of Stock Companies.

These condensed separate interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as part of the period covered by the Company’s K-IFRS annual financial statements. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the last annual separate financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2013. These condensed separate interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for full annual financial statements.

These condensed interim financial statements are separate interim financial statements prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No.1027, ‘Separate Financial Statements’ presented by a parent, an investor in an associate or a venturer in a joint venture, in which the investments are accounted for on the basis of the direct equity interest rather than on the basis of the reported results and net assets of the investees.

(2) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the condensed separate interim financial statements in conformity with K-IFRS 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.

In preparing these condensed separate interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

(3) Common control transactions

SK Holdings Co., Ltd. (“the Ultimate Controlling Entity”) is the Ultimate Controlling Entity of the Company because it controls the Company. Accordingly, gains and losses from business acquisitions and dispositions involving entities that are under the control of the Ultimate Controlling Entity are accounted for as common control transactions within equity.

  1. Significant Accounting Policies

Except as described below, the accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed separate interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013. The following changes in accounting policy are also expected to be reflected in the Company’s separate financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2014.

(1) Changes in accounting policies

1) Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

The Company has applied the amendments to K-IFRS No.1032, ‘Financial instruments: Presentation’ since January 1, 2014. This standard requires financial assets and financial liabilities being offset and the presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

The right of set-off that cannot be contingent on a future event, and must be legally enforceable in all of the following circumstances: (i) the normal course of business; (ii) an event of default; and (iii) an event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity or any of the counterparties.

To meet the net settlement criterion, all settlements need to remove or reduce credit risk or liquidity risk as minor level. In case of single payment or payment period which can handle bonds and payables, settlement result needs to be paid as same as practical settle net.

There is no material impact of the application of this amendment on the Company’s financial statements.

Accordingly, the Company performs various analysis of interest rate risk, which includes refinancing, renewal, alternative financing and hedging instrument option, to reduce interest rate risk and to optimize its financing.

The Company’s interest rate risk arises from floating-rate debentures. As of March 31, 2014, floating-rate debentures amount to ₩643,032 million and the Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk related to floating-rate borrowings and debentures (Refer to Note 16). If interest rate only increases (decreases) by 1%, income before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 would not have been changed due to the interest expense from floating-rate debentures.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet his/her contractual obligations. The maximum credit exposure as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows:

(In millions of won) March 31, 2014 December 31, 2013

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 21,599 20,532
2,617,461 2,856,533

To manage credit risk, the Company evaluates the credit worthiness of each customer or counterparty considering the party’s financial information, its own trading records and other factors; based on such information, the Company establishes credit limits for each customer or counterparty.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company has no trade and other receivables or loans which have indications of significant impairment loss or are overdue for a prolonged period. As a result, the Company believes that the possibility of default is remote. Also, the Company’s credit risk can rise due to transactions with financial institutions related to its cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and derivates. To minimize such risk, the Company has a policy to deal with high credit worthy financial institutions. The amount of maximum exposure to credit risk of the Company is the carrying amount of financial assets as of March 31, 2014.

In addition, the aging of trade and other receivables that are overdue at the end of the reporting period but not impaired is stated in Note 5 and the analysis of financial assets that are individually determined to be impaired at the end of the reporting period is stated in Note 24.

Fair value of the financial instruments that are traded in an active market (available-for-sale financial assets, financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, etc.) is measured based on the bid price at the end of the reporting date.

The Company uses various valuation methods for valuation of fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market. Fair value of available-for-sale securities is determined using the market approach methods and financial assets through profit or loss are measured using the option pricing model. In addition, derivative financial contracts and long-term liabilities are measured using the present value methods. Inputs used to such valuation methods include swap rate, interest rate, and risk premium, and the Company performs valuation using the inputs which are consistent with natures of assets, liabilities being evaluated.

Interest rates used by the Company for the fair value measurement as of March 31, 2014 are as follows:

Interest rate
Derivative instruments 2.55 ~ 3.14%
Borrowings and Debentures 3.39 ~ 3.78%
