Independent Auditor’s Report
(English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean)
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of AMOREPACIFIC Group, Inc.
and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated
statements of financial position as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statements
of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements
of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and its
consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea
(Korean IFRS).
Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in
accordance with the ethical requirements of the Republic of Korea that are relevant to our audit of the
consolidated financial statements and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with the ethical requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Other Matter
Auditing standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The procedures and
practices used in the Republic of Korea to audit such consolidated financial statements may differ
from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with Korean IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines
is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the Group or to cease operations.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting
process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing will
always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and
are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial
statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and
obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk
of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the
override of internal control.
· Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control.
· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
· Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events
or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures
are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained
up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group
to cease to continue as a going concern.
2
· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
· Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit.
We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Seung-Kwon
Ryoo, Certified Public Accountant.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial
statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years
presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of Preparation
The Group maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial
statements in the Korean language (Hangul) in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (Korean IFRS). The accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been condensed, restructured and translated into English from the
Korean language financial statements.
Certain information attached to the Korean language financial statements, but not required for a fair
presentation of the Group's financial position, financial performance or cash flows, is not presented
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Korean
IFRS. These are the standards, subsequent amendments and related interpretations issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that have been adopted by the Republic of Korea.
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of critical accounting estimates.
Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the Group’s accounting policies. The
areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and
estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.
12
2.2 Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures
(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual
reporting period commencing January 1, 2018.
- Amendment to Korean IFRS 1028 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
When an investment in an associate or a joint venture is held by, or is held indirectly through, an
entity that is a venture capital organization, or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities including
investment-linked insurance funds, the entity may elect to measure each investment separately at
fair value through profit or loss in accordance with Korean IFRS 1109. The amendment does not
have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements because the Group is not a
venture capital organization.
- Amendment to Korean IFRS 1040 Transfers of Investment Property
The amendment to Korean IFRS 1040 clarifies that a transfer to, or from, investment property,
including property under construction, can only be made if there has been a change in use that is
supported by evidence, and the list of evidence for a change of use in the standard was re-
characterized as a non-exclusive list of example. The amendment does not have a significant
impact on the consolidated financial statements.
- Amendment to Korean IFRS 1102 Share-based Payment
Amendments to Korean IFRS 1102 clarify accounting for a modification to the terms and conditions
of a share-based payment that changes the classification of the transaction from cash-settled to
equity-settled. Amendments also clarify that the measurement approach should treat the terms and
conditions of a cash-settled award in the same way as for an equity-settled award. The amendment
does not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
- Enactment of Interpretation 2122 Foreign Currency Transaction and Advance Consideration
According to the enactment, the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the
exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part of it) is
the date on which an entity initially recognizes the non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability
arising from the payment or receipt of advance consideration. The enactment does not have a
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
- Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments
The Group has applied Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments on January 1, 2018, the date of
initial application. In accordance with the transitional provisions in Korean IFRS 1109, comparative
figures have not been restated, and the differences between previous book amounts and book
amounts at the date of initial application are recognized to retained earnings. See Note 37 for
further details on the impact of the application of the standard.
13
- Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Group has applied to apply Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In
accordance with the transition provisions in Korean IFRS 1115, comparative figures have not been
restated. The Group elected the modified retrospective approach, and recognized the cumulative
impact of initially applying the revenue standard as an adjustment to retained earnings as at
January 1, 2018, the period of initial application. See Note 37 for further details on the impact of the
application of the standard.
(b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations that have been published that are not
mandatory for annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2018 and have not been early
adopted by the Group are set out below.
- Enactment to Korean IFRS 1116 Leases
Korean IFRS 1116 Leases issued on May 22, 2017 is effective for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. This standard will replace Korean IFRS 1017
Leases. The Group will apply the standards for annual periods beginning on or after January 1,
2019.
Under the new standard, with implementation of a single lease model, lessee is required to
recognize assets and liabilities for all lease which lease term is over 12 months and underlying
assets are not low value assets. A lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease
liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.
The Group performed an impact assessment to identify potential financial effects of applying
Korean IFRS 1116. The Group is analyzing the effects on the financial statements based on
available information as at December 31, 2018 to identify effects on 2019 financial statements;
however, it is difficult to provide reasonable estimates of financial effects until the analysis is
complete.
- Amendments to Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments
The narrow-scope amendments made to Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments enable entities
to measure certain prepayable financial assets with negative compensation at amortized cost.
When a modification of a financial liability measured at amortized cost that does not result in the
derecognition, a modification gain or loss shall be recognized in profit or loss. These amendments
will be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption
permitted.
- Amendments to Korean IFRS 1019 Employee Benefits
The amendments require that an entity shall calculate current service cost and net interest for the
remainder of the reporting period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement based on
14
updated actuarial assumptions from the date of the change. The amendments also require that a
reduction in a surplus must be recognized in profit or loss even if that surplus was not previously
recognized because of the impact of the asset ceiling. The amendments are effective for plan
amendments, curtailments and settlements occurring in reporting periods that begin on or after 1
January 2019.
- Amendments to Korean IFRS 1028 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
The amendments clarify that an entity shall apply Korean IFRS 1109 to financial instruments in an
associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied. These include long-term
interests that, in substance, form part of the entity’s net investment in an associate or joint venture.
These amendments will be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with
early adoption permitted. In accordance with the transitional provisions in Korean IFRS 1109, the
restatement of the comparative information is not required and the cumulative effects of initially
applying the amendments retrospectively should be recognized in the beginning balance of
retained earnings at the date of initial application.
- Enactment to Interpretation of Korean IFRS 2123 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
The Interpretation explains how to recognize and measure deferred and current income tax assets
and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a tax treatment, and includes guidance on how to
determine whether each uncertain tax treatment is considered separately or together. It also
presents examples of circumstances where a judgement or estimate is required to be reassessed.
This Interpretation will be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, and an
entity can either restate the comparative financial statements retrospectively or recognize the
cumulative effect of initially applying the Interpretation as an adjustment in the beginning balance at
the date of initial application.
- Annual Improvements to Korean IFRS 2015 – 2017 Cycle:
 Korean IFRS 1103 Business Combination
The amendments clarify that when a party to a joint arrangement obtains control of a business
that is a joint operation, and had rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to
that joint operation immediately before the acquisition date, the transaction is a business
combination achieved in stages. In such cases, the acquirer shall remeasure its entire previously
held interest in the joint operation. These amendments will be applied to business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period
beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with early adoption permitted.
 Korean IFRS 1111 Joint Agreements
The amendments clarify that when a party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a
joint operation might obtain joint control of the joint operation in which the activity of the joint
operation constitutes a business. In such cases, previously held interests in the joint operation
are not remeasured. These amendments will be applied to transactions in which an entity obtains
15
joint control on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1
January 2019, with early adoption permitted.
 Paragraph 57A of Korean IFRS 1012 Income Tax
The amendment is applied to all the income tax consequences of dividends and requires an entity
to recognize the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive
income or equity according to where the entity originally recognized those past transactions or
events. These amendments will be applied for annual reporting periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted.
 Korean IFRS 1023 Borrowing Costs
The amendments clarify that if a specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related qualifying
asset is ready for its intended use (or sale), it becomes part of general borrowings. These
amendments will be applied to borrowing costs incurred on or after the beginning of the first annual
reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted.
2.3 Consolidation
The Group has prepared the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Korean IFRS
1110 Consolidated Financial Statements.
(a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when
the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and
has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They
are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.
The consideration transferred is measured at the fair values of the assets transferred, and
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business
combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes
any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair
value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable
assets. All other non-controlling interests are measured at fair values, unless otherwise required by
other standards. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The excess of consideration transferred, amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired
entity and acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the
fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recoded as goodwill. If those amounts are less
than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business acquired, the difference is
recognized directly in the profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
16
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group

companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides
evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been
changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as
transactions with equity owners of the Group. A changed in ownership interest results in an
adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interest to reflect
their relative interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to
non-controlling interest and any consideration paid or received is recognized in a separate reserve
within equity attributable to owners of the Parent Company.
When the Group ceases to consolidate for a subsidiary because of a loss of control, any retained
interest in the subsidiary is remeasured to its fair value with the changed in carrying amount
recognized in profit or loss.
(b) Associates
Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially
being recognized at cost. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates
are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. If there is an objective
evidence of impairment for the investment in the associate, the Group recognizes the difference
between the recoverable amount of the associate and its book amount as impairment loss.
2.4 Foreign Currency Translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the “functional
currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Korean won, which is the Parent
Company’s functional and presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates
at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of
such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign
currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognized in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets
and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example,
translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value
through profit or loss are recognized in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss and
17
translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities held at fair value through other
comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(c) Translation to the presentation currency
The results and financial position of all Group entities that have a functional currency different from
the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
 assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at
the closing rate at the end of the reporting period,
 income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss are translated at average
exchange rates,
 all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When the Company ceases to control the subsidiary, exchange differences that were recorded in
equity are recognized in the statement of profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as
assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
2.5 Financial Assets
(a) Classification
From January 1, 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement
categories:
 those to be measured at fair value through profit or loss
 those to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and
 those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and
the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For financial assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss
or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the
business model in which the investment is held. The Group reclassifies debt investments when,
and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the
Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity
investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(b) Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a
financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable
18
to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value
through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining
whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
A. Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for
managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Group classifies its debt
instruments into one of the following three measurement categories:
 Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those
cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized
cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized
cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss when the asset
is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in
‘finance income’ using the effective interest rate method.
 Fair value through profit or loss: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or
fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit
or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value
through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or
loss and presented net in the statement of profit or loss within ‘finance income or finance
costs’ in the year in which it arises.
 Fair value through other comprehensive income: Assets that are held for collection of
contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows
represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through other
comprehensive income, except for the recognition of impairment loss (reversal of
impairment loss), interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are
recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain
or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to
profit or loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included in ‘finance income’
using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are
presented in ‘other income or expenses’ and impairment losses are presented in ‘other
expenses’.
B. Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group’s
management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in other
comprehensive income, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to
profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividend income from such investments
continue to be recognized in profit or loss as ‘other income’ when the right to receive payments is
established.
19
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in
‘finance income or finance costs’ in the statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment loss
(reversal of impairment loss) on equity investments measured at fair value through other
comprehensive income are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
(c) Impairment
The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt
instruments carried at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The
impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in
credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach, which requires
expected lifetime credit losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.
(d) Recognition and Derecognition
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on trade-date,
the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are
derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have
been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
If a transfer does not result in derecognition because the Group has retained substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred asset, the Group continues to recognize the
transferred asset in its entirety and recognizes a financial liability for the consideration received.
The Group classified the financial liability as “borrowings” in the statement of financial position.
(e) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of financial
position where there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. The
legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the
normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the
counterparty.
2.6 Trade Receivables
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized
cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. See Note 7.3 for further information
about the Group’s accounting for trade receivables.
2.7 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of merchandise, raw
materials, subsidiary materials and supplies are determined using the moving-weighted average
method, while the cost of finished goods, semi-finished goods and work-in-progress are determined
using gross average method. Also, the cost of materials in transit is assigned by using specific
identification method.
20
2.8 Non-current Assets (or Disposal Group) Held-for-sale
Non-current assets (or disposal group) are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount
will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a
sale is considered highly probable. The assets are measured at the lower amount between their
carrying amount and the fair value less costs to sell.
2.9 Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to
the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation of all property, plant and equipment, except for land, is calculated using the straight-
line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their
estimated useful lives as follows:
Useful life
Buildings 10 - 60 years
Structures 10 - 40 years
Machinery 3 - 30 years
Vehicles 6 - 10 years
Tools 1 - 5 years
Fixtures and furniture 2 - 15 years
Others 10 years
The assets’ depreciation method, residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
2.10 Borrowing Costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete
and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary
investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from
the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in
which they are incurred.
2.11 Government Grants
Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable
assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants related to assets are presented in the statement of financial position by
21
deducting the grant in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset, and government grants related
to income are deferred and later deducted from the related expense.
2.12 Intangible Assets
Goodwill is measured as described in Note 2.3 (a), and carried at cost less accumulated
impairment losses.
Intangible assets, except for goodwill, are initially recognized at its historical cost, and carried at
cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
Software development costs that are directly attributable to internally generated by the Group are
recognized when the criteria; such as, technically feasible, generate probable future economic
benefits and other, are met. Membership rights that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to
amortization because there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the assets are expected
to be utilized. The Group amortizes intangible assets with a limited useful life using the straight-line
method over the following periods:
Useful life
Industrial property rights 5 - 20 years

Software 5 - 10 years
Others 2 - 45 years
2.13 Investment Property
Investment property is property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. An
investment property is measured initially at its cost. An investment property is measured after initial
measurement at depreciated cost (less any accumulated impairment losses). After recognition as
an asset, investment property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. The Group depreciates investment property, except for land, using the straight-line method
over their useful lives of 10 ~ 60 years.
2.14 Impairment of Non-financial Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and
are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment
loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and
value in use. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for
possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
22
2.15 Trade and Other Payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of
reporting period which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days
of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities, unless payment is not
due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognized initially at their fair value and
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
2.16 Financial Liabilities
(a) Classification and measurement
The Group’s financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are financial instruments held for
trading. A financial liability is held for trading if it is incurred principally for the purpose of
repurchasing in the near term. A derivative that is not a designated as hedging instruments and an
embedded derivative that is separated are also classified as held for trading.
The Group classifies non-derivative financial liabilities, except for financial liabilities at fair value
through profit or loss, financial guarantee contracts and financial liabilities that arise when a transfer
of financial assets does not qualify for derecognition, as financial liabilities carried at amortized cost
and present as ‘trade payables’, ‘borrowings’, and ‘other payables’ in the statement of financial
position.
Preferred shares that require mandatory redemption at a particular date are classified as liabilities.
Interest expenses on these preferred shares using the effective interest method are recognized in
the statement of profit or loss as ‘finance costs’, together with interest expenses recognized from
other financial liabilities.
(b) Derecognition
Financial liabilities are removed from the statement of financial position when it is extinguished; for
example, when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expired or
when the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially modified. The difference between
the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the
consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized
in profit or loss.
2.17 Provisions
Provisions for service warranties, make good obligation, and legal claims are recognized when the
Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably
estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, and the
increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
23
2.18 Current and Deferred Tax
The tax expense for the period consists of current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax is
recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The tax expense is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the taxation authorities, using
the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the
reporting period.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. The Group recognizes current income tax on
the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated
financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time
of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be
available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
The Group recognizes a deferred tax liability all taxable temporary differences associated with
investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint arrangements, except to the extent
that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, The
Group recognizes a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences arising from such
investments to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable
future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary difference can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset
current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation
authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable
right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis.
2.19 Employee Benefits
(a) Post-employment benefits
The Group operates both defined contribution and defined benefit pension plans.
For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contribution to publicly or privately administered
pension insurance plans on mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further
payment obligation once the contribution have been paid. The contribution are recognized as
employee benefit expense when they are due.
24
A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Generally, post-
employment benefits are payable after the completion of employment, and the benefit amount
depended on the employee’s age, periods of service or salary levels. The liability recognized in the
statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the
defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The
defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit
credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the
estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are
denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms approximating
to the terms of the related obligation. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in the period in which they occur,
directly in other comprehensive income.
Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or
curtailments are recognized immediately in profit or loss as past service costs.
(b) Other long-term employee benefits
Certain entities within the Group provide long-term employee benefits that are entitled to
employees with service period for ten years and above. The expected costs of these benefits are
accrued over the period of employment using the same accounting methodology as used for
defined benefit pension plans. The Group recognizes service cost, net interest on other long-term
employee benefits and remeasurements as profit or loss for the year. These liabilities are valued
annually by an independent qualified actuaries.
2.20 Revenue Recognition
From January 1, 2018, the Group has applied Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue from Contracts with
Customers.
The Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is
probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and when specific criteria have been
met for each of the Group’s activities as described below. The Group bases its estimate on
historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the
specifics of each arrangement.
(a) Identifying performance obligations
The Group manufactures and sells cosmetics and personal care of goods. The Group expects that
identifying performance obligation will not have a material impact on the financial statements
because the Group generally separates contracts to recognize revenue from service rendered,
apart from sales of goods or products.
(b) Variable consideration
25
The Group may provide promotional incentive to enhance customer’s revenue or allow sales
returns, which may cause variable consideration.
The Group estimates an amount of variable consideration by using the expected value which the
Group expects to better predict the amount of consideration. The Group recognize revenue with
transaction price including variable consideration only to the extent that it is highly probable that a
significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the refund
period has lapsed. The refund liability is measured at the amount of consideration received for
which the Group does not expect to be entitled.
(c) Allocating consideration received
The Group operates a customer loyalty program granting loyalty points and where members can
redeem the points on future purchases. The customers’ option is identified as a separate
performance obligation.
The Group allocates the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in respect of
revenues between the award credits and the sales of goods, and consideration for award credits is
allocated preferentially based on their fair value and remaining amounts are allocated to sales of
goods.
2.21 Lease
A lease is an agreement, whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee, in return for a payment or
series of payments, the right to use an asset for an agreed period of time. Leases in which a
significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group are
classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charge to profit or loss
on a straight-line basis over the period of lease.
Leases where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s inception at the fair value
of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The
corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-
term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost.
If the Group is a lessor, a lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the
risks and rewards incidental to ownership at the inception of the lease. A lease other than a finance
lease is classified as an operating lease. Lease income from operating leases is recognized in
income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Initial direct costs incurred by the lessor in
negotiating and arranging an operating lease is added to the carrying amount of the leased asset
and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.
2.22 Segment Reporting
Information of each operating segment is reported in a manner consistent with the internal business
segment reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (Note 4). The chief operating
26
decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the
operating segments, has been identified as the representative director that makes strategic
decisions.
2.23 Approval of Issuance of the Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements 2018 were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on
January 31, 2019 and are subject to change with the approval of shareholders at their Annual
General Meeting.
3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements requires the Group to make estimates and assumptions
concerning the future. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on
historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,
seldom equal the related actual results.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Additional information of significant judgement and assumptions of certain items are included in
relevant notes.
(a) Estimated goodwill impairment
The Group tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. The
recoverable amount of a cash generating unit (CGU) is determined based on value-in-use
calculations (Note 11).
(b) Income taxes
The Group’s taxable income generated from these operations are subject to income taxes based
on tax laws and interpretations of tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. There are many
transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain (Note 24).
If certain portion of the taxable income is not used for investments or increase in wages or
dividends in accordance with the Tax System For Recirculation of Corporate Income, the Group is
liable to pay additional income tax calculated based on the tax laws. Accordingly, the measurement
of current and deferred income tax is affected by the tax effects from the new tax system. As the
Group’s income tax is dependent on the investments, increase in wages and dividends, there is an
uncertainty measuring the final tax effects.
(c) Customer loyalty programs
By customer loyalty programs, the Group allocates the consideration receivable to the award
27
credits by reference to the fair value of goods providing, taking into account redemption rates and
timing of redemption based on historical data.
(d) Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using
valuation techniques. The Group uses its judgment to select a variety of methods and make
assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of each reporting
period (Note 36).
(e) Impairment of financial assets
The provision for impairment for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default
and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting
the inputs to the impairment calculation based on the Group’s past history, existing market
conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
(f) Net defined benefit liability (asset)
The present value of net defined benefit liability (asset) depends on a number of factors that are
determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions including the discount rate (Note
19).
4. Segment Information
Management has determined the operating segments based on the information reviewed by the
chief operating decision-maker who formulates the strategic. Chief operating decision-maker
considers the business from perspective of products of each segment.

Changes in Increase Decrease in
assumption in assumption assumption
Discount rate 1.00%P 7.25% decrease 8.33% increase

Salary growth rate 1.00%P 8.26% increase 7.33% decrease
The defined benefit liabilities are exposed to a significant risk on changes in the corporate bond
yields rate.
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other
assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the
assumptions may be correlated. The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in
principal actuarial assumptions is calculated using the projected unit credit method, the same
method applied when calculating the defined benefit obligations recognized on the statement of
financial position.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change
compared to the prior period.

35. Risk Management
35.1 Financial Risk Management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk,
fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s
overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to
minimize any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.
Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors reviews and approves written principles for overall risk management, as well as written
policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of
derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess
liquidity.
(a) Market risk
i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various
foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the US dollar, Euro and the Japanese yen.
The purpose of foreign exchange risk management is to maximize the Group’s value by minimizing
the uncertainty and volatility of foreign exchange gains and losses from foreign exchange rate
fluctuations.
The Company’s financial instruments denominated in major foreign currencies as at December 31,
2018 2017
(in millions of Korean won) Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities
USD \ 234,558 \ 126,166 \ 268,960 \ 118,047

EUR 1,423 324 587 1,464
JPY 54 3,658 2 2,794
\ 236,035 \ 130,148 \ 269,549 \ 122,305
77
As at December 31, 2018 and 2017, if the foreign exchange rate of the Korean won fluctuated by
10% while other variables were fixed, the effects on profit before income tax would be as follows:
2018 2017
10% 10% 10% 10%
Increase Decrease Increase Decrease
USD \ 10,839 \ (10,839) \ 15,091 \ (15,091)

EUR 110 (110) (88) 88
JPY (360) 360 (279) 279
The above sensitivity analysis is done with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities
which are not in the Parent Company’s functional currency.
ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is defined as the risk that the interest income or expenses arising from deposits
and borrowings will fluctuate because of changes in future market interest rate. The interest rate
risk mainly arises on floating rate deposits and borrowings. The objective of interest rate risk
management lies in maximizing corporate value by minimizing uncertainty in interest rates
fluctuations and net interest expense.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group has more floating rate deposits than floating rate
borrowings, and because of this, net interest expenses decrease when interest rates increase.
However, the Group adequately minimizes risks from interest rate fluctuations through various
policies, such as sharing excess cash within the Group (internal cash sharing) to minimize external
borrowings, avoiding high rate borrowings, reforming capital structure, managing an appropriate
ratio of fixed rate borrowings and floating rate borrowings, monitoring a fluctuation of domestic and
foreign interest rates daily, weekly and monthly, establishing alternatives, and balancing floating
rate short-term borrowings with floating rate deposits.
The Group invests in fixed interest assets with maturities of one year or less, and if the market
interest rate increases, there is risk of decrease in fair value. However, the risk of changes in fair
value is minor as the investments are short-term deposits.
At the end of the reporting period, if interest rates on floating rate borrowings had been 1%
higher/lower with all other variables held constant, profit before income tax for the year would have
been \ 687 million lower/higher, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate
borrowings.
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk is managed on a group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and
deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including
outstanding receivables and committed transactions.
78
For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of ’A’
are accepted.
If wholesale customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no
independent rating, risk control assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its
financial position, past experience and other factors. If customers have no independent rating and
their credit risk needs to be reduced, their credit is enhanced through pledged property and deposit
and guarantee insurance. For customers without insurance and collateral, the Group strictly
manages credit risk in accordance with the internal credit-rating standard. Sales to retail customers
are settled in cash or using major credit cards.
The Group reviews whether the above trade receivables are individually or collectively impaired at
the end of the every reporting period.
(c) Liquidity Risk
The Group holds sufficient amount of cash and cash equivalents and maintains a flexible fund
capacity within credit limit by brisk business. Financial liabilities involved in sales except borrowings
are basically paid within maximum three months after purchasing (average within two months), so
maturity of all financial liabilities (with or without payment condition) are within three months. The
Group manages liquidity by holding more cash and cash equivalents than monthly payments.
The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity
groupings based on the remaining period at the statement of financial position date to the
contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted
cash flows. These contracts are managed on a net-fair value basis rather than by maturity date.

35.2 Capital Risk Management
The Group’s capital risk management purpose is maximising shareholders’ value through
maintaining a sound capital structure. The Group monitors financial ratios, such as liability to equity
ratio and net borrowing ratio each month and implements required action plan to improve the
capital structure.
Debt-to-equity ratio and net borrowing ratio are as follows:
Liabilities (A) \ 1,144,904 \ 1,403,262

36. Fair Value Estimation
36.1 Fair Value Hierarchy
There are no significant changes in business and economic circumstances which affect the fair
value of financial assets and liabilities of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The Group classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the
significance of the inputs used in measurements.
 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).
 All inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable (either directly
that is, prices, or indirectly that is, derived from prices) for the asset or liability (Level 2).
 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (Level 3).

36.2 Valuation Technique
Valuation techniques used in the recurring fair value measurements categorized as Level 2 and
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as at December 31, 2018, are as follows:
(a) Investment property
The fair value of investment property is measured on a basis of a valuation by an independent

appraiser who holds a recognized and relevant professional qualification or a value of land
determined by the local government in Korea for property tax assessment purposes and a valuation
by reflecting the similar recent transaction price which is available to use.
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and Financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss
Valuation techniques and inputs used in the financial assets categorized within Level 2 and Level 3
of the fair value hierarchy as at December 31, 2018, are as follows:

36.3 Financial Instruments Measured at Cost
Details of financial instruments measured at cost as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, are as
follows:
Debt instruments at amortized cost

Asset backed securities \ 30,000 \ 30,000
Government-issued securities 4,247 5,345
\ 34,247 \ 35,345
Debt instruments at amortized cost are measured at fair values, because the difference between
their fair values and the acquisition costs is immaterial.
Other financial assets and liabilities whose book amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value
are excluded from the separate fair value disclosures.
83
37. Changes in Accounting Policies
37.1 Adoption of Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments
As explained in Note 2, the Group has applied Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments on
January 1, 2018, the date of initial application. In accordance with the transitional provisions in
Korean IFRS 1109, comparative figures for prior reporting period have not been restated. The
application of Korean IFRS 1109 does not have impact on the Group’s retained earnings and the
impact on the statement of financial position at the date of initial application is as follows:
(a) Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
On the date of initial application of Korean IFRS 1109, January 1, 2018, the Group’s management
has assessed which business models apply to the financial assets held by the Group and has
classified its financial instruments into the appropriate Korean IFRS 1109 categories. The main
effects resulting from this reclassification are as follows.

value through other comprehensive income, and loans and receivables at amortized cost,
respectively.
2Cash and cash equivalents are included.
84
(i) Reclassification from available-for-sale to fair value through profit or loss
As at January 1, 2018, beneficiary certificates amounting to \ 4,142 million and convertible

preferred shares amounting to \ 6,490 million were reclassified from available-for-sale to financial
assets at fair value through profit or loss. They do not meet the criteria to be classified as at
amortized cost in accordance with Korean IFRS 1109, because their cash flows do not represent
solely payments of principal and interest.
(ii) Reclassification from available-for-sale to amortized cost
As at January 1, 2018, asset backed securities and government bonds were reclassified from
available-for-sale to amortized cost. The Group hold the assets to collect contractual cash flows
and these cash flows consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding.
(iii) Reclassification of equity investments from available-for-sale to fair value through other
comprehensive income
The Group elected to present changes in the fair value of all its equity investments that are not
held for trading previously classified as available-for-sale in other comprehensive income. As a
result, assets with a fair value of \ 15,761 million were reclassified from available-for-sale
financial assets to financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. As at
January 1, 2018, related accumulated other comprehensive income of \ 4,633 million were not
reclassified to profit or loss even though these assets are disposed of.
(iv) Reclassification from loans and receivables to debt instruments at fair value through profit or
loss
As at January 1, 2018, beneficiary certificates and others were reclassified from financial assets at
amortized costs to debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments is
composed of beneficiary certificates reclassified to financial assets at fair value through profit or
loss. They do not meet the criteria to be classified as at amortized cost in accordance with Korean
IFRS 1109, because their cash flows do not represent solely payments of principal and interest, or
business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling of these assets.
85
(v) Reclassifications of financial instruments on adoption of Korean IFRS 1109
On the date of initial application, January 1, 2018, the financial instruments of the Group with any
reclassifications noted, were as follows:

(b) Impairment of Financial Assets
The Group has two types of financial assets subject to Korean IFRS 1109’s new expected credit
loss model:
 trade receivables for sales of inventory
 debt investments carried at amortized cost
The adoption of Korean IFRS 1109 does not have an impact on impairment of financial assets.
86
37.2 Adoption of Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
As explained in Note 2, the Group has applied Korean IFRS 1115 Revenue from contracts with
customers from January 1, 2018. In accordance with the transitional provisions in Korean IFRS
1115, comparative figures have not been restated. The application of Korean IFRS 1115 has
impact on the financial statements as follows.
The impact on the Group’s statements of financial position at the date of initial application is as
follows:

Total equity \ 5,931,974 \ 1,181 \ 5,933,155
1 Accounting for customer loyalty program
Under the previous standard, the consideration received from the sale of goods was allocated to
the award points and the goods sold using the residual method. Under this method, a part of the
consideration was allocated to the award points in advance and the residual part of the
consideration was allocated to the goods sold.
Under Korean IFRS 1115, the total consideration is allocated to the award points and goods based
on the relative stand-alone selling prices.
Due to this change in policy, the contract liability recognized in relation to the customer loyalty
program as at January 1, 2018, was \ 1,181 million lower than the amount previously recognized
as deferred revenue. The retained earnings increased by \ 477 million as a consequence.
2 Accounting for advances from customers
In accordance with Korean IFRS 1115, advanced from customers amounting to \ 16,577 million
was reclassified from other current liabilities to contract liabilities.
