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, and in June 2014, the Company reaffirmed its technological leadership by becoming the first to provide commercial 225 Mbps wideband LTE-A services, which is three times faster than LTE. In December 2014, the Company launched tri-band LTE-A, which is four times faster than LTE.

The Company also launched unlimited LTE data plans and other innovative data plans such as “Rush hour / Subway Free” plans that are unlimited data plans based on time, place and occasion (or, TPO), reflecting the data pattern usage of customers and their lifestyles. “T-outdoor” and “T Kids Phone – Joon,” introduced in 2014, are customer-focused products that create additional value for customers. In addition, the Company released “Pet Fit”, a smart healthcare device for pets in April 2015 and “T-Pet,” which provides a variety of services such as a pet’s live location information through a device embedded with USIM and positioning modules in May 2015. The Company expects that these products will have a lock-in effect on existing customers.

The Company plans to increase its profitability by strengthening its retention policy, which is the fundamental basis of competitiveness for telecommunication companies in this data-intensive era. The Company will lead the information and communication technology (“ICT”) trend by providing products through which customers can have a distinctive experience and by providing innovative services, such as the “T-Phone,” to transition to service-based competition.

In the business-to-business (“B2B”) area, the Company has strengthened its solutions business through the implementation of 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. In its first year (2014), the number of its mobile IPTV service subscribers increased by 1.56 million to reach 2.37 million subscribers by the end of the year and as of March 31, 2016, the number of subscribers was 4.79 million.

In the area of healthcare, the Company achieved several tangible milestones: point-of-care diagnostic devices manufactured by a company of which the Company is the largest shareholder received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration; the Company entered the Chinese healthcare market; and the Company was the first Korean company to export medical information systems. The Company plans to continue to find and develop new growth engines in the mid- to long-term. The Company also plans to seek out new growth engines in existing businesses, including the intelligence business, by utilizing its technologies relating to big data.

In order to strengthen its sales channels, the Company has been offering a variety of fixed-line and wireless telecommunication convergence products to its customers through PS&Marketing Co., Ltd. (“PS&Marketing”), one of its subsidiaries. Through Service Ace Co., Ltd., another subsidiary, the Company operates customer service centers in Seoul and provides telemarketing services. Furthermore, Network O&S Co., Ltd., the Company’s subsidiary responsible for the operation of the Company’s 2G to 4G networks (including its CDMA, WCDMA and LTE networks), provides customers with quality network services and provides the Company with technological know-how in network operations.

(2) Fixed-line business

SK Broadband Co., Ltd. (“SK Broadband”) is engaged in providing telecommunications, broadcasting and new media services and various other services that are permitted to be carried out by SK Broadband under relevant regulations, as well as business activities that are directly or indirectly related to providing those services. In 1999, SK Broadband launched its high-speed Internet service in Seoul, Busan, Incheon and Ulsan and currently provides such services nationwide. SK Broadband also commercialized its TV-Portal service in July 2006 and its IPTV service in January 2009 upon receipt of permit in September 2008.

(3) Other businesses

The Company is continuing to grow its commerce platform business as a leading player in Korea through 11th Street, an open marketplace platform service that connects various sellers and purchasers through its online and mobile platforms. Through “Shocking Deal,” which is a mobile commerce curation service, the Company is continuing to increase its market share in this business. In the commerce marketing platform business area, the Company is leading the online-to-offline commerce business and offers OK Cashbag, Korea’s largest loyalty mileage program, Syrup, which offers smart shopping services utilizing OK Cashbag’s existing network of business partners and information technology such as big data, and Syrup Store, which provides integrated marketing solutions to business partners.

In the media business area, the Company provides the optimum environment for subscribers to access multimedia contents according to personal taste and preference through “oksusu,” available on various digital devices such as personal computers and mobile devices.

The Company provides integrated Internet portal services through NATE and instant messaging services through NATE-ON. In the portal service business area, key sources of revenue are display advertising, search engine-based advertising, and contents and other services. Display advertising consists of image, video and flash-based multimedia advertising carried on NATE and NATE-ON and aims to give greater exposure to the advertiser’s brand name to the public. The increased effectiveness of online media as an advertising outlet has resulted in a greatly expanded advertiser base, and the increasing variety in the format of advertising has contributed to the growth of display advertising. Search engine-based advertising refers to the type of advertising that embeds advertisements within search results produced by searches of certain keywords on the NATE portal site. Search engine-based advertising has a certain appeal to small and medium-sized advertisers.

[SK Broadband]

SK Broadband acquired subscriberships of regional cable and other service providers on several different occasions.

[Wireless Business]

A. Industry Characteristics

The Korean mobile communication market is 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. In the first half of 2014, wideband LTE-A service was commercialized and on December 29, 2014, tri-band LTE-A service with a maximum speed of 300 Mbps was also commercialized. Such achievements were the building blocks towards the Company’s LTE penetration reaching 67.5% as of March 31, 2016.

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. As a result, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded Won 4.2 trillion in revenue and Won 0.4 trillion in operating income on a consolidated basis and Won 3.1 trillion in revenue and Won 0.4 trillion in operating income on a separate basis.

The number of subscribers subscribing to “Band Data” plans, which was launched in the second quarter of 2015, has continued to increase with such subscribers comprising approximately one-third of total wireless subscribers as of March 31, 2016 and leading an increase in data usage. The success of Luna, a smartphone launched in September 2015 that was designed to run exclusively on the Company’s networks, led to the launch of various other relatively low-priced devices and became an example of successfully targeting a niche market.

By continuing to be innovative in developing core competencies, the Company has more firmly established its position as the market leader in wireless telecommunications. The competitive environment of the wireless telecommunications industry has become more focused on retention. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the average monthly churn rate was 1.5%, a record low since 2004 when the mobile number portability system was first introduced. The number of subscribers (including MVNO subscribers) as of March 31, 2016 was 28.9 million, an increase of approximately 290,000 from the previous quarter. In particular, the number of smartphone subscribers as of March 31, 2016 was 21.0 million, an increase of approximately 370,000 from the previous quarter, propelled by 19.4 million LTE subscribers, solidifying the Company’s market leadership. In addition, as of March 31, 2016, the number of subscribers for products targeted towards specific segments such as the T Kids’ phone – Joon and T Outdoor reached 770,000, which the Company believes shows a level of demand that can potentially lead to growth of the lifestyle enhancement platform.

20

Following the launch of commercial LTE services in July 2011, the Company became the first telecommunications service provider in the world to launch commercial wideband LTE-A services in June 2014. In December 2014, the Company launched tri-band LTE-A services. By launching various high quality services utilizing the LTE-A and wideband LTE networks such as group video conference call services and full high definition mobile IPTV streaming services, 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 19 years, 18 years and 16 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.

PS&Marketing, a subsidiary of the Company, provides a sales platform for products of the Company and SK Broadband including fixed-line and wireless telecommunication products that address customers’ needs for various convergence products. PS&Marketing provides differentiated service to clients through the establishment of new sales channels and product development.

[Fixed-line Business]

A. Industry Characteristics

As subscribers to various bundled wireless and fixed-line products continue 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 ultra-high definition broadcasting services for smart televisions. In the Korean pay TV market, analog cable broadcasting is increasingly being replaced with digital broadcasting and IPTV is the fastest growing digital broadcasting platform. While it is currently expected that there will be a decline in the number of subscribers switching from cable TV to IPTV, the Company believes that it will need to aggressively increase its subscriber base by providing differentiated services on its IPTV platform. In addition, with the maturity of the residential market and the changing trends of broadcasting consumption towards mobile platforms, the Company believes that giga and ultra-high definition broadcasting services and mobile media services will be important competitive factors. In the future, the Company believes that there will be rapid evolution towards a broadband network stemming from increased demand for giga and ultra-high definition broadcasting services and cloud services and the government is likely to promote the development of the next-generation ICT industry through various policies and regulations.

C. Cyclical Nature and Seasonality

High-speed Internet, fixed-line telephone and IPTV services are mature markets that are comparatively less sensitive to cyclical economic changes as such services have become more of a necessity and the market has matured. 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. On the back of its premium technology and enhanced competitiveness achieved through bundled products, it is currently expanding 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, the Company has reinforced its leadership in the ultra-high definition broadcasting market by launching ultra-high definition services that require no set-top boxes in April 2014 and by commercializing ultra-high definition set-top boxes for the first time in Korea in September 2014. Furthermore, the Company was the first in the industry to adopt solutions to upgrade full high definition to ultra-high definition, and the Company also strengthened the line-up of ultra-high definition contents by securing access to diverse contents provided by Sony and NBC Universal. Moreover, the Company provides the greatest number of channels in full high definition in the IPTV market due to its recent upgrade of all 130 live high definition channels to full high definition. The Company has also been selected by the government as the lead trial operator of gigabit (“GiGA”) Internet service to promote the discovery of new technologies and services related to the expansion of GiGA coverage within the hybrid fiber-coaxial network and provide GiGA Wi-Fi and other services. Furthermore, the Company has solidified its technological leadership by setting a worldwide precedent for providing “super” 8K ultra-high definition broadcasting service, which has resolution four times as high as the pre-existing 4K ultra-high definition broadcasting service in the IPTV industry.

SK Telink, a provider of international telecommunications service, 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 the Company to expand its international calling services to fixed-line international calling services. In 2005, SK Telink obtained a license to operate VoIP services and local calling value-added services to develop into a versatile fixed-line telecommunications service provider. 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 by providing quality solutions at reasonable prices.

[Other Business]

A. Industry Characteristics

As the number of smartphones distributed in Korea exceeds 40 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.

In order to move beyond the saturated wireless telecommunications market and plan for new future opportunities, the Company is aiming to transform itself into a next-generation platform service provider. The Company plans to actively develop a portfolio of services on its growth platforms using its leading position in the ICT business as a foundation to overcome boundaries between industries. In particular, the Company intends to maximize synergies between various business areas and overcome the limitations on growth in the wireless telecommunications market through its three growth platforms, comprising its Internet of Things (“IoT”) solutions platform, lifestyle enhancement platform and advanced media platform. The Company intends to expand its competitive strengths in the residential market, based on its media offerings through its advanced media platform, to also develop its IoT solutions and lifestyle enhancement platforms. The Company also intends to continue to seek business opportunities for its growth businesses such as its healthcare and B2B solutions businesses and integrate them with its growth platforms.

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 with which to utilize this database and provide differentiated services to customers.

B. Growth Potential

The scope and value generated by the platform business, including application and content marketplaces and N-screen services, continue 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.

23

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, the strengthening of online business models by off-line operators, and the rapid rise of mobile commerce. Recently, due to the widespread use of smartphones and social media, the commercialization of location-based services and the development of big data technology, online to offline (or, O2O) business, which is a concept of attracting customers to offline stores using online and mobile environments, is being highlighted as a new field in the online commerce market industry.

(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.

(3) Media

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, 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, Syrup, and OK Cashbag, its digital contents business such as T Store 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 rapidly growing 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, a wireless telecommunications company in Indonesia. In October 2014, SK Planet and Celcom Axiata Berhad, which is a leading telecommunications service provider in Malaysia, established a joint venture, Celcom Planet, and launched online commerce services tailored to the Malaysian market in April 2015.

Syrup is a consumer-oriented commerce service with the goal of minimizing its customers’ time and efforts while maximizing the economic benefits by providing information about coupons and events based on time, place and occasion. To achieve this goal, Syrup combines location-based services, such as geo-fencing, a virtual perimeter technology using a global positioning system (or, GPS) and Bluetooth Low Energy (or, BLE), with big data analysis of consumption patterns. Syrup’s business partners can benefit from cost-effective marketing through Syrup by utilizing statistics and analysis regarding consumers’ frequency of visits, preferred products, and consumption patterns. Furthermore, Syrup is strengthening its service foundation and competitiveness through the continual release of vertical products such as Syrup Pay, Syrup Order and Syrup Table and the expansion of Merchant.

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. As Korea’s largest loyalty mileage program, 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.

24

(2) Location-based services

T-Map Navigation provides map, local information, real-time traffic information and navigation services. T-Map Navigation is one of the leading location-based service platforms in Korea. By entering the Online to Offline service area with T map Taxi, T map Public Transportation and others, the Company is expanding its mobile platform foundation that connects day to day life. The Company is also providing “infotainment” systems to commercial vehicle businesses as well as providing localized content on its products, such as region-specific information and advertisements. The Company plans to further develop the T-Map Navigation platform by initiating open application programming interface-based services, providing services to more diverse types of devices and providing local area-based services.

(3) Digital contents

T Store, an application platform launched in September 2009, plans to widen its services to tablets and navigation devices. The Company intends to further develop T Store into a personalized gateway and mobile playground through expansion of the scope of serviceable devices, reinforcement of digital content offerings and enhancement of search services, among other things.

(4) Social networking services (“SNS”) and Internet portal services

The Company’s instant messenger service, “Nate-On,” had a market share of 22.6% in the instant messenger market in Korea with 3.5 million net users during the month of March 2016. The Company’s Internet search portal service, “Nate,” had a page-view market share of 4.1% as of March 31, 2016. (Source: Korean Click, based on fixed-line access)

(3) Policies for Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company establishes allowances for doubtful accounts 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 two 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 customer’s service has been terminated or is continued). For such trade receivables that have been overdue for more than two years after the customer’s service has been terminated, the Company records an allowance of 100% of such receivables. For such trade receivables that have been overdue for less than two years after the customer’s service has been terminated or relates to a customer that is continuing his service, the Company records an allowance of a certain percentage of such receivable. 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.

4. Important Matters That Occurred After March 31, 2016

[SK Telecom]

The Company is aiming to transform into a next generation platform solutions provider as a foundation for continued growth. It is expected that the Company will leverage the location-based services business and the mobile phone verification services business in line with this goal and SK Planet will further concentrate its resources on its commerce business. The Company expects that various business synergies will be created within the Company’s platform business such as its online-to-offline business, location-based service business and big data business through the Company’s ability to leverage Korea’s leading real-time mobile navigation service, T-Map Navigation, as well as the other location-based services that it acquires from SK Planet. In addition, the Company will be able to increase the range of services it offers to customers by directly operating the mobile phone verification services business acquired from SK Planet. The effective date of the spin-off and merger of these businesses was April 5, 2016.

SK Telecom acquired 60 MHz of bandwidth in the 2.6GHz broadband and [narrowband] spectrum through the frequency bandwidth auction held on May 2, 2016. As a core frequency spectrum with a global ecosystem, the 2.6GHz spectrum allows for existing customers to take additional advantage of broadband speeds and provides capacity relief at an early stage, thus providing for faster and more stable data services. The Company acquired 60 MHz of bandwidth in the 2.6GHz spectrum for Won 1.3 trillion, and the MSIP plans to announce the frequency reallocation price for the 2.1GHz spectrum based on the results of the auction price for such spectrum.

[SK Planet]

On January 21, 2016, SK Planet’s board of directors resolved to spin off its location-based services business and mobile phone verification services business and merge them into SK Telecom in order to further concentrate its resources on its commerce business. The effective date of the spin-off and merger of these businesses was April 5, 2016.

[SK Broadband]

The merger agreement with CJ Hellovision was approved at the extraordinary meeting of shareholders on February 26, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the regulatory approval review from the relevant authorities, including the MSIP, is still in process, and the Company will disclose the future timetable once confirmed.

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, 2016, the condensed separate statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 of interim financial statements 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 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 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 finance position of the Company as of December 31, 2015, 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 in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and our report thereon, dated February 23, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2015, presented for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited separate financial statements from which it has been derived.

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.

Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying condensed separate financial statements and notes thereto.

SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (“the Company”) was incorporated in March 1984 under the laws of the Republic of Korea (“Korea”) to provide cellular telephone communication services in Korea. The Company mainly provides wireless telecommunications services in Korea. The Company’s common shares and depositary receipts (DRs) are listed on the Stock Market of Korea Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange.

  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 December 31, 2015. 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 with joint control of, of significant influence over, an investee, in which the investments are accounted for at cost.

(2) Use of estimates and judgments

1) Critical judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties

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, 2015.

2) Fair value measurement

A number of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the finance executive.

The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of K-IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then 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. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Information about assumptions used for fair value measurements are included in Note 27.

  1. Financial Risk Management

(1) Financial risk management

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Market risk is the risk related to the changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. The Company implements a risk management system to monitor and manage these specific risks.

The Company’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments, available-for-sale financial assets, trade and other receivables. Financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables, borrowings, and debentures.

1) Market risk

(i) Currency risk

Currency risk occurs on forecasted transaction and recognized assets and liabilities which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company. The Company manages currency risk by currency forward, etc. if needed to hedge currency risk on business transactions.

In addition, the Company has entered into cross currency swaps to hedge against currency risk related to foreign currency borrowings and debentures. (See Note 15)

As of March 31, 2016, effects on income (loss) before income tax as a result of change in exchange rate by 10% are as follows:

(In millions of won) — USD If increased by 10% — W 4,501 (4,501 )
EUR 1,481 (1,481 )
JPY 71 (71 )
Others 117 (117 )
W 6,170 (6,170 )

(ii) Equity price risk

The Company has equity securities which include listed and non-listed securities for its liquidity management and operating purpose. As of March 31, 2016, available-for-sale equity instruments measured at fair value amounts to W 715,293 million.

(iii) Interest rate risk

Since the Company’s interest bearing assets are mostly fixed-interest bearing assets, the Company’s revenue and operating cash flows are not influenced by the changes in market interest rates. However, the Company still has interest rate risk arising from borrowings and debentures.

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

The Company’s interest rate risk arises from floating-rate borrowings and payables. As of March 31, 2016, floating-rate debentures amount to W 331,500 million and the Company has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk related to floating-rate borrowings and debentures (See Note 15). Therefore, income before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 would not have been changed by the interest expense from floating-rate borrowings and 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:

(In millions of won) — Cash and cash equivalents March 31, 2016 — W 376,602 431,636

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss 6,548 7,073
W 3,092,200 2,762,698

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, 2016, 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 arise due to transactions with financial institutions related to its cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and derivatives. To minimize such risk, the Company has a policy to deal only with financial institutions with high credit ratings. The amount of maximum exposure to credit risk of the Company is the carrying amount of financial assets as of March 31, 2016.

(3) Fair value, Continued

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, 2016 are as follows:

Interest rate
Derivative instruments 2.15 ~ 3.12%
Borrowings and Debentures 1.81 ~ 1.86%

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, 2016, the condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 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 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 of interim financial statements 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 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 reviews, 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 .

Other matters

The consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2015, 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 in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and our report thereon, dated February 23, 2016, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2015, presented for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.

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.

KPMG Samjong Accounting Corp.

May 4, 2016

This report is effective as of May 4, 2016, the review report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the review report should understand that the above review report has not been updated to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

(*1) On November 2, 2015, the board of directors of the Parent Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire 30%(23,234,060 shares) of the issued and outstanding common shares of CJ Hello Vision Co., Ltd. (“CJ Hello Vision”) from CJ O Shopping Co., Ltd. (“CJ O Shopping”) for an aggregate purchase price of W 500,000 million. According to the share purchase agreement, the Parent Company will grant put option on 18,522,244 shares of CJ Hello Vision (exercisable at a price of W 26,994 during the two year period following the third anniversary of the transaction closing date) to CJ O Shopping and be granted call option (exercisable at a price of W 26,994 during the five year period following the closing date) on the same shares. On November 2, 2015, the board of directors of SK Broadband Co., Ltd. (“SK Broadband”), a subsidiary of the Parent Company, held a meeting to resolve the merger of SK Broadband into CJ Hello Vision, and then SK Broadband entered into a merger agreement with CJ Hello Vision with government’s approval as a prerequisite. Under the agreement, SK Broadband will be merged into CJ Hello Vision on or after the transaction closing date through an exchange of shares, after which the Parent Company will have a 78.3% equity interest in the merged company. As of March 31, 2016, the approval of relevant government agencies for the share purchase and the merger has not been obtained, and the transaction closing date is subject to be changed depending on various conditions including the approval of government agencies.

(*2) Due to the shareholders’ agreement which grants put option to the non-controlling shareholders, this entity is consolidated as a wholly owned subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

  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 December 31, 2015. 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

1) Critical judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties

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, 2015.

(2) Use of estimates and judgments, Continued

2) Fair value measurement

Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the finance executive.

The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of K-IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then 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. The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Information about assumptions used for fair value measurements are included in Note 32.

  1. Financial Risk Management

(1) Financial risk management

The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Market risk is the risk related to the changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. The Group implements a risk management system to monitor and manage these specific risks.

The Group’s financial assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments, financial assets available-for-sale, trade and other receivables. Financial liabilities consist of trade and other payables, borrowings, and debentures.

1) Market risk

(i) Currency risk

Currency risk occurs on forecasted transaction and recognized assets and liabilities which are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Group. The Group manages currency risk by currency forward, etc. if needed to hedge currency risk on business transactions.

Others 5,965 1,171 — —
W 184,603 W 2,745,921

In addition, the Group has entered into cross currency swaps to hedge against currency risk related to foreign currency borrowings and debentures. (See Note 20)

As of March 31, 2016, effects on income (loss) before income tax as a result of change in exchange rate by 10% are as follows:

(In millions of won) — USD If increased by 10% — W 7,080 (7,080 )
EUR 1,485 (1,485 )
JPY 73 (73 )
Others 117 (117 )
W 8,755 (8,755 )

(ii) Equity price risk

The Group has equity securities which include listed and non-listed securities for its liquidity management and operating purpose. As of March 31, 2016, available-for-sale equity instruments measured at fair value amount of W 954,132 million.

(iii) Interest rate risk

Since the Group’s interest bearing assets are mostly fixed-interest bearing assets, the Group’s revenue and operating cash flows are not influenced by the changes in market interest rates. However, the Group still has interest rate risk arising from borrowings and debentures.

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

(iii) Interest rate risk, Continued

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from floating-rate borrowings and debentures. As of March 31, 2016, floating-rate borrowings and debentures amount to W 31,000 million and W 331,500 million respectively, and the Group has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk related to floating-rate debentures (See Note 20). Therefore, income before income taxes for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 would not have been changed by the interest expense from floating-rate borrowings and debentures.

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, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows:

(In millions of won) — Cash and cash equivalents March 31, 2016 — W 759,718 768,794
Financial instruments 762,238 701,713
Available-for-sale financial assets 2,030 3,430
Accounts receivable – trade 2,364,975 2,390,110
Loans and receivables 1,637,829 1,102,403
Derivative financial assets 121,874 166,399
W 5,648,664 5,132,849

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, 2016, 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 arise due to transactions with financial institutions related to its cash and cash equivalents, financial instruments and derivatives. To minimize such risk, the Group has a policy to deal only with financial institutions with high credit ratings. The amount of maximum exposure to credit risk of the Group is the carrying amount of financial assets as of March 31, 2016.

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.

(3) Fair value, Continued

The Group 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 Group performs valuation using the inputs which are consistent with natures of assets and liabilities being evaluated.

Interest rates used by the Group for the fair value measurement as of March 31, 2016 are as follows:

Interest rate
Derivative instruments 2.15 ~ 3.12%
Borrowings and debentures 1.81 ~ 3.07%
