2.	Business

Business overview

We were incorporated in February 1985 under the laws of the Republic of Korea. LG Electronics and LG Semicon transferred their respective LCD business to us in 1998, and since then, our business has been focused on the research, development, manufacture and sale of products that apply display technologies such as OLED and TFT-LCD. Sorting by major sales product category, television, IT products and mobile and other products accounted for 26%, 48% and 26% of our total sales, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022. Our customers primarily consist of global set makers, and our top ten customers comprised 85% of our total sales revenue in the first quarter of 2022. As a company focused on exports, our overseas sales accounted for approximately 97% of our total sales in the first quarter of 2022. We provide close local support through our overseas sales subsidiaries located in the United States, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, China and Singapore.

We operate key production facilities in Korea, China and Vietnam, and as of March 31, 2022, our production capacity was approximately 2.2 million glass sheets per year, as converted into eighth-generation sheets (2200x2500mm). In order to expand our production capacity of differentiated and competitive products such as OLED panels, our total capital expenditures on a cash out basis was around W3.2 trillion in 2021, and we plan to make investments within our earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) while continuing to enhance our financial stability in 2022. The major raw materials for display panel production include glass, semiconductors, polarizers, organic matter, backlight units (“BLU”) and printed circuit boards (“PCB”), and the prices of major raw materials may fluctuate as a result of supply and demand in the market as well as changes in our purchase quantity.

As securing production capacity through large scale investments in the display industry requires a long period of time, panel prices may fluctuate due to the imbalance between the increase in production capacity and growth in demand. The sales performance of industry players is differentiated by not only the production capacity of each company but also other competitive differences arising from factors including technology, product development capability, manufacturing efficiency, quality control and customer relationships, along with the price differentiation incorporating such factors. In addition, given the high proportion of our sales overseas, our sales of display panels are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars whereas our purchases of raw materials are denominated mainly in U.S. dollars, Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan. Accordingly, our profit margins may be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the currencies. We strive to minimize the risk relating to foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and operating cash flow due to exchange rate fluctuations.

Our research and development expenses represent approximately 9% of our sales, and we are continually creating customer value through systematic R&D activities for new products and technologies. Leveraging our competitive R&D activities, we are leading the display market by providing differentiated values in display panel products utilizing our OLED and TFT-LCD technologies for various uses including television, IT and mobile products, as well as automobiles and industrial uses.

Industry

(1)

Industry characteristics

•

From the supply perspective, the display panel industry is technology- and capital-intensive in nature and requires mass production through achieving an economy of scale.

•

From the demand perspective, the display panel industry tends to demonstrate a high level of volatility depending on the global macroeconomic conditions, major regional sales events and/or seasonal factors.

•

Despite the gradual transition from various restrictions under the COVID-19 pandemic and an increasing uncertainty in the global macroeconomic environment, the high-end product market is structurally expanding to meet the segmented needs and lifestyle changes of consumers.

•

The market for high-end television display panels is expected to sustain a steady growth due to continued consumer preference for large-sized panels and customized products. We also anticipate a gradual growth in the market for high value-added product segments such as display panels for commercial uses.

•

The high-end market for traditional IT products such as laptops and desktop monitors is expected to expand due to sustained lifestyle changes, including partially remote work arrangements and education resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and development of new offerings such as gaming and portable products.

•

The market for products using plastic OLED products is growing due to increased use of smartphones for mobile contents and gaming purposes with the development of 5G communication infrastructure, as well as evolutions in form factors such as foldable smartphones.

(2)

Growth Potential

•

We are strengthening our business base with a focus on customer value and developing new markets under our strategic plan to transition our business to center around OLED, which has a strong future growth potential. With respect to large-sized display panels, we are focusing on securing profitability through differentiated products such as “OLED.EX”, “Cinematic Sound” OLED and “Wallpaper” display panels while leading the expansion into new business areas, such as transparent OLED display panels and gaming display panels, through collaboration with various related industries. In the small-sized display panel business, we are further expanding our production capacity by securing stable operating capabilities for 6th generation plastic OLED smartphone displays while continuing to grow our small- and medium-sized OLED business, including automotive display panels. Furthermore, in the medium-sized display panel business, we are increasing the proportion of premium products such as high resolution and wide screen products based on IPS and Oxide technologies.

(3)

Cyclicality

•

The display panel business is highly cyclical and sensitive to fluctuations in the general economy. The industry experiences recurring volatility caused by imbalances between supply and demand due to capacity expansion and changing production utilization rates within the industry.

•

Macroeconomic factors and other causes of business cycles can affect the rate of growth in demand for display panels. Accordingly, if supply exceeds demand, average selling prices of display panels may decrease. Conversely, if growth in demand outpaces growth in supply, average selling prices may increase.

(4)

Market conditions

•

Most display panel manufacturers are located in Asia as set forth below. Competition in the TFT-LCD sector is intensifying amid active investments in new fabrication facilities led by Chinese panel manufacturers and their expanding level of dominance in the sector. In response, Korean panel manufacturers are continuing their efforts to maintain their market leadership and differentiate themselves by transitioning their business focus to OLED products and upgrading their TFT-LCD businesses.

•

Moreover, we are maintaining and strengthening close long-term relationships with major global firms to secure customers and expand partnerships for technology development.

New businesses

For our continued growth, we are actively exploring and preparing for new business opportunities that may arise in the changing market environment. As such, we are continually reviewing and looking at opportunities in the display and promising new industries.

Customer-oriented marketing activities

Through engaging in detailed analysis and acquiring insight on the market and industry conditions, technology, products and end-user consumers, we seek to provide differentiated values that are customer- and consumer-friendly. In addition, we engage in activities that are geared to proactively identify and offer meaningful benefits to customers and consumers. As a result, we are continually developing products that provide differentiated values using our differentiated technologies.

Sales strategy

•

With respect to television products, we have led the premium television market with our OLED televisions and enhanced customer value and our business portfolio by promoting new products, such as gaming display panels and transparent OLED display panels. With respect to our LCD business, we are securing stability by offering differentiated commercial products to a global customer base.

•

As part of our sales strategy for IT products, we have secured stable sales to major personal computer manufacturers and leading consumer electronics manufacturers globally. We also strengthened sales of high-resolution, IPS, narrow bezel and other high-end display panels.

•

With respect to smartphones, commercial products (including interactive whiteboards and video wall displays, among others), industrial products (including aviation and medical equipment, among others) and automobile display products, we have continued to build a strong and diversified business portfolio by expanding our business with customers with a global reach on the strength of our differentiated products applying IPS, plastic OLED, high-resolution, high-reliability, Super Narrow bezel, in-TOUCH and other technologies.

Major customers

•

Customers “A” and “B” each accounted for more than 10% of our sales revenue in each of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, and our sales revenue derived from our top ten customers comprised 86% of our total sales revenue in the first quarter of 2021 and 85% in the first quarter of 2022.

6.	Purchase Orders

•

We do not have purchase order contracts that recognize unbilled revenue by implementing the cost-based method.

7.	Risk Management and Derivative Contracts

Risk management

(1)

Major market risks

Our business is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Accordingly, we operate a risk management system that identifies and analyzes these risks while monitoring and managing risk level by establishing appropriate risk controls in order to ensure that such risks do not exceed certain threshold levels.

Market risk refers to the risk that income from the financial instruments that we hold or the fair value of such financial instruments will fluctuate due to fluctuations in market prices, such as exchange rates, interest rates and prices of equity securities. The objective of our market risk management system is to manage and control our exposure to market risk within an acceptable level while optimizing our profit levels.

(2)

Risk management method

As the average selling prices of OLED and TFT-LCD panels can continue to decline over time irrespective of industry-wide cyclical fluctuations, we may find it hard to manage risks associated with certain factors that are outside our control. However, we counteract such declines in average selling prices by increasing the proportion of high value added panels in our product mix while also implementing various cost reduction measures.

In addition, in order to manage our risk against foreign currency fluctuations, we eliminate such risk by adopting a policy of maintaining our net exposure risk within an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates, when necessary, to address short-term imbalances in the inflow and outflow of foreign currency funds. We also continually monitor our currency position and risk for other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and when needed, we may from time to time enter into cross-currency interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts. Furthermore, we have adopted a policy aimed at minimizing uncertainty and financial costs arising from interest rate fluctuations and manage our interest rate risk through periodic monitoring of interest rate trends and adoption of appropriate countermeasures.

Derivative contracts

(1)

Currency risks

•

We are exposed to currency risks on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than in Won, our functional currency. These currencies are primarily the U.S. dollar, the Chinese Yuan and the Japanese Yen.

•

Interest on borrowings is denominated in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by our underlying operations, primarily in Won, the U.S. dollar and the Chinese Yuan.

•

As of the end of the reporting period, we have entered into a forward currency contract with a short U.S. dollar position in order to hedge the risk of fluctuations in future cash flows resulting from exchange rate fluctuations in expected export transactions. In the valuation gains and losses of derivative contracts to which we apply cash flow hedge accounting, there is no ineffective portion, the valuation gain of the effective portion was Won 2,064 million and the valuation loss of the effective portion was Won 21,177 million (contracted amount: $1,200 million, contracted exchange rate: Won 1,170.5 ~ 1,241.4), which is reflected as part of our accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, in relation to cash flow hedging, the maximum expected period of exposure to cash flow fluctuation risk due to the expected transaction to be hedged is six months from the end of this reporting period. The amount transferred from other components of equity to profit or loss (product revenue) during the reporting period due to the realization of the anticipated export transaction was Won 22,069 million.

•

As of the end of the reporting period, in order to avoid risks of interest rate fluctuations and exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency denominated borrowings with floating interest rates, we entered into an aggregate of $1,740 million in Won/US dollar cross currency swap agreements with Standard Chartered Bank and others, for which we have not applied hedge accounting.

•

Any rights or obligations arising from derivative contracts that do not apply hedge accounting are measured at fair value and are accounted for as assets and liabilities, whereas any resulting valuation gain or loss is recognized as profit or loss at the time such valuation gain or loss is incurred.

We recognized a net gain on valuation of derivative instruments in the amount of W50 billion with respect to our foreign exchange derivative instruments held during the reporting period.

(2)

Interest rate risks

•

Our exposure to interest rate risks relates primarily to our floating rate long term loan obligations. We have established and are managing interest rate risk policies to minimize uncertainty and costs associated with interest rate fluctuations by monitoring cyclical interest rate fluctuations and enacting countermeasures.

•

As of the end of the reporting period, we entered into an aggregate of W240 billion in interest rate swap agreements to KB Kookmin Bank and others, for which we have not applied hedge accounting. We recognized a net gain on valuation of derivative instruments in the amount of W1 billion with respect to our interest rate derivative instruments held during the reporting period.

•

A fundamental transition in benchmark reference rates is taking place globally and some interbank lending rates (“IBORs”) are becoming replaced with new risk-free benchmark rates. In particular, in the case of London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), with the exception of overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR rates, all rates have been ceased as of December 31, 2021. The aforementioned five USD LIBOR rates will also cease to exist as of June 30, 2023. While none of our financial instruments currently outstanding are tied to LIBOR rates that have been ceased to date, we plan to replace our existing financial instruments tied to LIBOR rates with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). In addition, while Korea Overnight Financing Repo Rate (“KOFR”) was selected as the benchmark reference rate for domestic certificate of deposit interest rates as part of the benchmark reference rate reform, we are not planning to adopt KOFR, as certificate of deposit interest rates are not scheduled to be ceased. Following the transition away from the LIBOR, we are exposed to legal risk associated with amending the contracts for such financial instruments as well as operational risk associated with managing the transition and its impact. We are also exposed to the risk of monitoring the market trend on alternative benchmark reference rates and establishing a risk management strategy accordingly. In order to manage such risks in relation to benchmark reference rate reform, we are assessing the extent to which each contract references IBOR cash flows, whether such contract should be amended and how to manage communication with counterparties on benchmark reference rate transition. Moreover, we have inserted replacement clauses for IBORs that have not yet been converted to alternative benchmark reference rates. However, even if a replacement clause has been inserted, if the interest rate of the financial instrument is still tied to an IBOR, we consider such financial instrument as not yet having been converted. See Note 24 of the notes to our consolidated interim financial statements included elsewhere in this report for further information.

11.

Environmental and Safety Matters

In order to minimize the environmental impact of our business activities, we are actively responding to environmental regulations applicable to our products and business sites.

Business environment management

We have installed and operate various types of prevention facilities to minimize the emission of environmental pollutants generated in our production process. With respect to air and water pollutants, we set and manage our internal standard at 70% of the permitted levels under the regulatory emission standards. In addition, in order to establish a resource circulation system, we operate a proprietary system to monitor waste from its generation to treatment, have developed waste treatment technology and identified suitable recycling companies to reduce the amount of waste we generate and maximize recycling.

We are subject to a variety of environmental laws and regulations, and operations at our manufacturing plants are subject to regulation and periodic scheduled and unscheduled on-site inspections by the Ministry of Environment and local environmental protection authorities. The primary types of environmental laws applicable to us include the following:

(1)

Environmental pollutant emission regulations: Clean Air Conservation Act, Water Quality Conservation Act, Wastes Control Act, Environmental Impact Assessment Act, etc.

(2)

Greenhouse gas emission management: Framework Act on Carbon Neutral and Green Growth to Respond to Climate Crisis, Act on the Allocation and Trading of Greenhouse Gas Emission Permits, etc.

(3)

Other workplace environment management: Chemicals Control Act, Chemicals Registration and Evaluation Act, Soil Environment Conservation Act, etc.

In accordance with the Framework Act on Carbon Neutral and Green Growth to Respond to Climate Crisis, we implemented the greenhouse gas emission and energy consumption target system from 2012 to 2014. In 2015, we implemented the greenhouse gas trading system, under which we are responsible to meet our emission targets based on the emission credits allocated to us by the Ministry of Environment of the Korean government. As a result, we have been investing in additional equipment and there may be other costs associated with meeting reduction targets, which may have a negative effect on our profitability or production activities.

In connection with the greenhouse gas emission and energy reduction target system, we submitted a statement of our domestic emissions and energy usage for 2021 to the Korean government in March 2022 after it was certified by EQA, a government-designated certification agency. The table below sets forth yearly levels of our greenhouse gases emissions and energy usage in the statement submitted to the Korean government:

(Unit: thousand tonnes of CO₂ equivalent; Tetra Joules)



Category	2021		2020		2019
Greenhouse gases		4,784		4,748		5,885
Energy		60,836		56,668		62,776

Note: Our greenhouse gas emission and energy usage in 2021 may be subject to change after assessment by the Ministry of Environment.

The decrease in greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 compared to 2019 was due primarily to the introduction of a reduction facility that decomposes fluorinated greenhouse gases used in our manufacturing process, resulting in an overall decrease in emission levels.

As we were designated as a target company for the greenhouse gas emission trading system in 2015, we submit a plan for allocating and monitoring our greenhouse gas emissions to the government every year. In order to continually promote the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, we have set a mid-term goal to reduce the emission level from 2014 to 2030 by 33.6% and a medium- to long-term goal to reduce the emission level from 2014 to 2050 by 75.6%. To achieve this, we are continually investing in facility improvements and monitoring our emission levels.

We are making extensive investments to replace SF6 gas, which is the main component of greenhouse gases, with NF3 gas. In addition, as a short-term strategy, we are actively implementing measures in compliance with the emission trading system. In 2020, we reduced our carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission levels by 1.44 million tons, and our carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission level in 2021 was 4.78 million tons, which was 2.95 million tons, or 38%, less than our carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission levels in 2014 (7.73 million tons). As our medium- to long-term goal, we plan to develop low-carbon production technologies in order to eliminate greenhouse gas emission during our manufacturing process and to conserve energy.

Through the implementation of an environmental and energy management system, we are continuously making efforts to minimize environmental impact and reduce energy usage in all aspects of our business process. Accordingly, we have acquired and currently operate the environmental management system ISO14001 for all of our domestic and overseas production sites, and we have also obtained energy management system ISO 50001 certifications for our domestic business sites and overseas subsidiaries in Nanjing and Guangzhou in order to build a sustainable management system. In addition, we have established company-wide safety, healthy, energy and environment management policies and manuals, which are regularly updated based on international standards. We also conduct systematic management of our business process in accordance with international standards through annual follow-up and renewal audits.

In recognition of our efforts, we were awarded the highest level, Leadership A, and received the grand prize award at the CDP Water Korea Best Awards in 2016 from the Carbon Disclosure Project, which was presided over by the Carbon Disclosure Project Korea Committee. Since then, we have continued to maintain our excellence in water conservation activities and received Leadership A recognition from 2018 to 2021. In addition, we have also received the Carbon Management Honors Club award from 2017 to 2020 and the Carbon Management Sector Honors every year since 2016 in recognition of our continued greenhouse gas emission reduction activities. Moreover, in recognition of our efforts to improve our recycling rate and reduce waste, we received a citation in 2020 for being a leading resource circulation company from the Minister of Environment.

Product environment management

In the case of the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive 2011/65/EU, with the adoption of Directive (EU) 2015/863 in 2016, four additional substances (four phthalate substances) have been added to the six already restricted substances, which additional restrictions became effective as of July 22, 2019. In order to address the latent risk elements of the four phthalate substances that became restricted in 2019 and to establish a more stable management system, we implemented in 2016 a preemptive response process with respect to such four phthalate substances. In implementing this process, we collaborated with external agencies to ascertain regulatory trends and establish our response strategy, and we formulated and applied effective management measures through the collaborative efforts of our development, procurement and quality teams.

While Beryllium (Be) has not been designated internationally as a mandatorily restricted substance, it has continued to be the subject of discussion for restriction, and certain of our customers have designated it as a restricted substance not to be used in products. Accordingly, we have completed verification of the parts used in products for customers who have banned the use of Beryllium. We have also conducted verification of the parts used in products for all customers who are expected to implement a ban and we have established a Beryllium verification process for parts in development. Through such efforts, we have established a voluntary hazardous substance response process that can be expanded to products for all customers, not only those who have requested a response.

In response to the continued strengthening of regulations governing environmentally-regulated substances, we operate our own verification process for such substances in accordance with international standards. Moreover, we participated in reforming IEC 62321, an international testing standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission and used by RoHS, and the commission adopted our halogen-free combustion ion chromatography method in as IEC 62321-3-2, which was published in June 2013. In 2017, in a joint effort with the global product testing/accreditation agency SGS, we became the first display panel company to develop Eco Label, an environmentally friendly accreditation program for television display modules, and have since continuously received the SGS Eco Label accreditation for our OLED television models. For the IPS Nano Color for LCD, we received the Quality & Performance Mark from Intertek, a global product testing/accreditation agency, by applying a technology to eliminate cadmium (Cd) and indium phosphide (InP). In 2018, we became the first display panel company to receive the “Green Technology Certification” from the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT for improving the light efficiency technology of OLED to promote energy use reduction. More recently, in 2021, we received the “Green Technology Certification” from the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT for our advanced incell touch display technology, an eco-friendly technology with touch-sensing electrodes and transmission lines that reduce carbon emissions and the use of rare metals. We also obtained an eco-friendly certification from TUV SUD, a globally recognized accreditation agency, for excellence in resource circulation and non-use of specific hazardous substances in our OLED television and PO mobile models, following our co-development of such certification program with such agency.

In November 2018, in connection with the occurrence of a safety accident in June 2017, the trial court (Goyang Branch of Uijeongbu District Court) ordered a fine of W3.0 million on each of us and our chief production officer on the basis of violation of certain provisions of the Industrial Safety and Health Act, which fines were paid in full after such order was confirmed on November 5, 2020. In order to prevent such accidents from occurring again, we are strengthening our safety management standards and training for our employees.

In May 2020, we received a warning from Daegu Regional Environmental Office regarding a safety incident that occurred in April 2020 in violation of Article 13-1 of the Chemical Control Act. In addition, in connection with another safety incident that occurred in May 2020, we were assessed an administrative penalty of W1.44 million in May 2020 and an improvement order in June 2020, in each case by Daegu Regional Environmental Office, for a violation of Article 13-2 of the Chemical Control Act. We subsequently paid such fine, and we also submitted a report of compliance with such improvement order in July 2020. Regarding these two incidents, Gimcheon Branch of Daegu District Court issued a summary order to assess fines of W3 million on each of us and two of our employees (the former head of safety and health management at our Gumi facilities and a former working level staff), which order was subsequently confirmed. In order to prevent recurrence, we are strengthening our safety management standards and employee training efforts.

In May 2020, we were assessed a fine of W1.4 million by the National Institute of Chemical Safety for our failure to conduct safety training on hazardous chemicals in violation of Article 33 of the Chemicals Control Act, which we subsequently paid. In order to prevent recurrence, we conducted safety training on hazardous chemicals for the relevant personnel and newly established a working process that complies with safety regulations.

In January 2021, an incident involving a leakage of tetramethylammonium hydroxide chemicals occurred during refurbishment of equipment at one of our plants in Paju, causing bodily harm to workers. In December 2021, we and one of our employees were prosecuted for violating the Industrial Safety and Health Act and the Chemicals Control Act, and a criminal trial is currently pending at the Goyang Branch of the Uijeongbu District Court. Government authorities are currently investigating the cause of such incident. In light of such incident, we plan to implement measures to fundamentally enhance our safety management standards with an aim to ensure health and safety of all workers at our facilities and maintain public trust, including four key safety management initiatives comprising (i) performing detailed safety diagnosis at all of our facilities, (ii) internalizing major hazardous tasks, (iii) developing dedicated personnel for safety- and environment-related matters and strengthening our support to our service providers, and (iv) strengthening the authority and capability of our safety management organizations. On March 3, 2022, an accident occurred at our contracted construction site in Paju, resulting in injuries of four LS Cable & System workers. Authorities are currently investigating the exact cause of the accident and we plan to actively cooperate with the investigation of related organizations to determine the cause.

In January 2021, we were audited by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in connection with the occurrence of a safety accident and found to be in violation of Article 114-1 of the Industrial Safety and Health Act relating to supervisory obligations with respect to the posting of safety information material and employee education. As a result, we were issued a corrective order and assessed a fine of W122.6 million, which we subsequently paid. We submitted a report on the implementation of the corrective order as of October 1, 2021.

In April 2021, we were assessed a fine of W1.2 million by the Paju Fire Station for failure to preserve regular inspection records of firefighting facilities related to the joint fire inspection by Gyeong-gi-Province Fire and Disaster Headquarters in violation of Article 18-1 of the Act on Safety Control of Hazardous Substances, which we subsequently paid. As a result, we have been conducting regular inspections of dangerous substances according to the inspection checklist related to this, and have taken measures to consult with relevant administrative agencies to the extent there are any ambiguous regulations related to performing inspections in order to prevent any legal issues.

We have adopted certain amendments to IFRS No. 1016 “Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use” beginning January 1, 2021. Prior to the adoption of these amendments, we deducted net proceeds from selling items produced while preparing a given property, plant and equipment asset (a “PPE asset”) for its intended use from the acquisition cost of such PPE asset. However, these amendments require the proceeds from selling, and the cost of producing, such items to be recognized in our profit or loss.

Pursuant to our early adoption of the amended K-IFRS No. 1016 from January 1, 2021, we have prepared our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021, and retroactively restated our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, in each case in accordance with such amendments. Prior to the application of such amendments, we deducted the net proceeds from selling items produced by a new PPE asset when such PPE asset reached the location and condition in which the asset was ready for its intended use from the acquisition cost of such PPE asset. Following the adoption of the amended K-IFRS No. 1016, the proceeds received from selling such items have been recognized as revenue, and the cost of producing such items and the additional depreciation expenses resulting from the corresponding changes in the cost of the applicable PPE assets have been recognized as cost of sales. The retroactively restated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 also reflect the income tax effects arising from adjustments in our depreciation expenses following the above-described changes in the acquisition cost of our PPE assets.

Other Matters

Legal proceedings

We are a defendant in three separate civil lawsuits (comprising one damages claim in the United Kingdom filed by private plaintiffs, one damages claim in Israel filed by private plaintiffs and one unjust enrichment claim in the United States filed by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) filed against us and certain other TFT-LCD panel manufacturers in connection with alleged anticompetitive behavior of the defendants. In each of these cases, the amount being sought has not been determined, and no trial has been scheduled. While the expected outcome of each of these cases is unclear, we do not believe that any of these cases would have a material effect on our financial conditions.

Independent Auditors’ Review Report

Based on a report originally issued in Korean

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

LG Display Co., Ltd.:

Reviewed Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of LG Display Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of March 31, 2022, the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s Responsibility for the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards 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 Security and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information 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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting.

The significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of its condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those followed by the Group in its preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the application of K-IFRS No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting.

(a)

Changes in Accounting Policies

The Group early adopted the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1016, Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use, in the annual consolidated financial statements from January 1, 2021.

Before the application of the amendments to K-IFRS No. 1016, directly attributable costs of acquiring property, plant and equipment included the costs of testing whether it is functioning properly, after deducting the net proceeds from selling items produced using the property, plant and equipment. However, after the application of the amendments, the proceeds from selling any such produced items and the cost of producing those items are recognized in profit or loss. The amendments also clarify that testing whether an item of property, plant and equipment is functioning properly means assessing its technical and physical performance rather than assessing its financial performance – e.g. assessing whether the property, plant and equipment has achieved a certain level of operating margin.

The Group applied amendments retrospectively, but only to items of property, plant and equipment that were brought to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management on or after January 1, 2020 and the Group restated and presented the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 as follows.

Tax uncertainties

In relation to the transfer price investigations related to five subsidiaries located in China, the mutual agreement procedures between tax authorities of the Republic of Korea and China for three subsidiaries have been completed and two subsidiaries are ongoing to resolve the double taxation effect. The Group recognized deferred tax assets for the amount for which double taxation effect is expected to be reduced from mutual agreement procedures, however, the Group is exposed to an uncertainty which may result in double taxation.

25.	Financial Risk Management

The Group is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks. The Group identifies and analyzes such risks, and controls are implemented under a risk management system to monitor and manage these risks at below an acceptable level.

(a)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

(i) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Controlling Company, Korean won (KRW). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are USD, CNY, JPY, etc.

Interest on borrowings is accrued in the currency of the borrowing. Generally, borrowings are denominated in currencies that match the cash flows generated by the underlying operations of the Group, primarily KRW, USD and CNY.

The Group adopts policies to ensure that its net exposure is kept to a manageable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances. In respect of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group manages currency risk through continuously managing the position of foreign currencies, measuring the currency risk and, if necessary, using derivatives such as currency forwards, currency swap and others.

Sensitivity analysis

A weaker won, as indicated below, against the following currencies which comprise the Group’s assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considers to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, would remain constant. The changes in equity and profit or loss would have been as follows:


(In millions of won)	March 31, 2022						December 31, 2021
	Equity			Profit or loss			Equity			Profit or loss
USD (5 percent weakening)	W	(115,013	)		(22,982	)		(74,214	)		2,339
JPY (5 percent weakening)		(3,895	)		(2,955	)		(5,437	)		(3,288	)
CNY (5 percent weakening)		(64,383	)		21			(64,732	)		172
TWD (5 percent weakening)		122			2			70			5
EUR (5 percent weakening)		676			(417	)		178			(858	)
PLN (5 percent weakening)		37			37			29			29
VND (5 percent weakening)		(2,844	)		(2,844	)		(3,865	)		(3,865	)

A stronger won against the above currencies as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 would have had the equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.

iii)

Derivatives for cash flow hedge

In relation to forecast export transactions, the Controlling Company uses derivative instruments to hedge fluctuations in future cash flows due to foreign currency exchange rate changes. As of March 31, 2022, there is no ineffective portion of the gain or loss on valuation of derivatives to which cash flow hedging accounting has been applied and gain and loss on valuation amounting to W2,064 million and W21,177 million, respectively, (contracted selling amount: USD 1,200 million, contracted exchange rate: W1,170.5 ~ 1,241.4) are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The expected settlement dates of derivative instrument contracts are within six months from March 31, 2022. The amount which have been reclassified from reserve to profit (revenue) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 is W22,069 million as a result of realization of forecast export transactions.

(ii)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises principally from the Group’s variable interest-bearing bonds and borrowings. The Group establishes and applies its policy to reduce uncertainty arising from fluctuations in interest rates and to minimize finance cost and manages interest rate risk by monitoring of trends of fluctuations in interest rate and establishing plan for countermeasures. Meanwhile, the Group entered into cross currency interest rate swap contracts amounting to USD 1,340 million (W1,622,472 million) and interest rate swap contracts amounting to W240,000 million in notional amount to hedge interest rate risk with respect to variable interest bearing borrowings.

Equity and profit or loss sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, a change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below for the respective following 12 month periods. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

	Equity					Profit or loss
	1%p increase			1%p decrease		1%p increase			1%p decrease

(*)	Financial instruments related to non-hedging interest rate swap are excluded from the calculation.

(iii)

Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks

A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative risk-free rates (referred to as ‘IBOR reform’). The publication of LIBOR, except overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month USD LIBORs, was terminated as of December 31, 2021 and the five LIBORs, as mentioned above, will be discontinued by June 30, 2023.

The Group does not have financial instruments affected by already discontinued LIBORs. The Group plans to change benchmark interest rate applied to some of its financial instruments from LIBORs to Secured Overnight Financing Rates (SOFRs), an alternative indicator interest rate. For these LIBOR-related financial instruments, the LIBORs are continued to be published. Meanwhile, in the case of the CD rate, an alternative reference rate was selected as the Korea Overnight Financing Repo Rate (KOFR) as part of the reform of the interest rate benchmark. However, unlike LIBOR, the termination of the publication of the CD rate is not scheduled, and the Group does not have plan to change to KOFR.

25.	Financial Risk Management, Continued

The Group is exposed to the legal risk of changing the contract of financial instruments due to the reform of the interest rate indicator, as well as the process and operational risks to deal with such changes. In addition, the Group is also exposed to the risk of monitoring the market trend on the alternative index interest rate and establishing a risk management strategy accordingly to manage the risk of the new alternative index interest rate. The Group manages and monitors the transition to alternative interest rate benchmark by evaluating the extent to which a contract references IBOR cash flows, whether such contracts will need to be amended as a result of IBOR reform and how to manage communication about IBOR reform with counterparties.

The Group monitors the transition to an alternative interest rate benchmark by reviewing the total amounts of contracts that have yet to transition to an alternative benchmark rate and the amounts of such contracts that include an appropriate fallback clause. The Group considers that a contract is not yet transitioned to an alternative benchmark rate when interest rate under the contract is indexed to a benchmark rate that is still subject to IBOR reform, even if it includes a fallback clause that deals with the cessation of the existing IBOR. As of March 31, 2022, the total amounts of unreformed contracts and those with appropriate fallback language are as follows, and the financial instruments that will be settled before June 30, 2023 are excluded:


(In millions of won)
	Total amount of not transitioned contracts		Amount with appropriate fallback clause
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Borrowings	W	2,545,371		1,670,904
Derivative assets
Cross currency interest rate swap contracts	W	87,589		87,589
Derivative liabilities
Cross currency interest rate swap contracts	W	218		218

(b)

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 its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers.

The Group’s exposure to credit risk of trade and other receivables is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management believes that the default risk of the country in which each customer operates, do not have a significant influence on credit risk since the majority of the customers are global electronic appliance manufacturers operating in global markets.

The Group establishes credit limits for each customer and each new customer is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively before determining whether to utilize third party guarantees, insurance or factoring as appropriate.

In relation to the impairment of financial assets subsequent to initial recognition, the Group recognizes the changes in expected credit loss (“ECL”) in profit or loss at each reporting date.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.

The Group has historically been able to satisfy its cash requirements from cash flows from operations and debt and equity financing. To the extent that the Group does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its capital requirements, the Group may rely on other financing activities, such as external long-term borrowings and offerings of debt instruments, equity-linked and other debt instruments. In addition, the Group maintains a line of credit with various banks.

The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments, as of March 31, 2022.


(In millions of won)			Contractual cash flows in
	Carrying amount		Total		6 months or less		6-12 months		1-2 years			2-5 years		More than 5 years

Capital management

Management’s policy is to maintain a capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Liabilities to equity ratio, net borrowings to equity ratio and other financial ratios are used by management to achieve an optimal capital structure. Management also monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

Determination of fair value

(i)

Measurement of fair value

A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

Current assets and liabilities

The carrying amounts approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes. The carrying amounts of current receivables approximate their fair value.

iii)

Investments in equity and debt securities

The fair value of marketable financial assets at FVTPL and FVOCI is determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the reporting date. The fair value of non-marketable instruments is determined using the results of fair value assessment performed by external valuation institutions and others.

iv)

Non-derivative financial liabilities

Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, except for the liabilities at FVTPL, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

Derivatives

The inputs used to measure the fair value of currency forward and cross currency interest rate swap are calculated based on the exchange rates and interest rates observable in the market at the reporting date.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards 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 Security and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information 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 condensed separate interim financial statements referred to above are not presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards No. 1034, Interim Financial Reporting.

Other Matters

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.

We audited the separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021, and the related separate statements of comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this review report, in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing, and our report thereon, dated March 8, 2022, expressed an unmodified opinion. The accompanying condensed separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us from which it was derived in all material respects.

Statement of Compliance

The condensed separate interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standard (“K-IFRS”) No.1034, Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the separate financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

•

net defined benefit liabilities (defined benefit assets) recognized at the present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets

24.	Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risks. The Company identifies and analyzes such risks, and controls are implemented under a risk management system to monitor and manage these risks at below an acceptable level.

(a)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

(i)

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Company, Korean won (KRW). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are USD, JPY, etc.

The Company adopts policies to ensure that its net exposure is kept to a manageable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances. In respect of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company manages currency risk through continuously managing the position of foreign currencies, measuring the currency risk and, if necessary, using derivatives such as currency forwards, currency swap and others.

Sensitivity analysis

A weaker won, as indicated below, against the following currencies which comprise the Company’s assets or liabilities denominated in a foreign currency as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Company considers to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, would remain constant. The changes in equity and profit or loss would have been as follows:


(In millions of won)	March 31, 2022						December 31, 2021
	Equity			Profit or loss			Equity			Profit or loss
USD (5 percent weakening)	W	(93,295	)		(93,295	)		(60,445	)		(60,445	)

Derivatives for cash flow hedge

In relation to forecast export transactions, the Company uses derivative instruments to hedge fluctuations in future cash flows due to foreign currency exchange rate changes. As of March 31, 2022, there is no ineffective portion of the gain or loss on valuation of derivatives to which cash flow hedging accounting has been applied and gain and loss on valuation amounting to W2,064 million and W21,177 million, respectively, (contracted selling amount: USD 1,200 million, contracted exchange rate: W1,170.5~1,241.4) are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The expected settlement dates of derivative instrument contracts are within six months from March 31, 2022. The amount which have been reclassified from reserve to profit (revenue) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 is W22,069 million as a result of realization of forecast export transactions.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises principally from the Company’s variable interest-bearing bonds and borrowings. The Company establishes and applies its policy to reduce uncertainty arising from fluctuations in interest rates and to minimize finance cost and manages interest rate risk by monitoring of trends of fluctuations in interest rate and establishing plan for countermeasures. Meanwhile, the Company entered into cross currency interest rate swap contracts amounting to USD 1,340 million (W1,622,472 million) and interest rate swap contracts amounting to W240,000 million in notional amount to hedge interest rate risk with respect to variable interest bearing borrowings.

Profile

The interest rate profile of the Company’s interest-bearing financial instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is as follows:


(In millions of won)

Managing interest rate benchmark reform and associated risks

The Company does not have financial instruments affected by already discontinued LIBORs. The Company plans to change benchmark interest rate applied to some of its financial instruments from LIBORs to Secured Overnight Financing Rates (SOFRs), an alternative indicator interest rate. For these LIBOR-related financial instruments, the LIBORs are continued to be published. Meanwhile, in the case of the CD rate, an alternative reference rate was selected as the Korea Overnight Financing Repo Rate (KOFR) as part of the reform of the interest rate benchmark. However, unlike LIBOR, the termination of the publication of the CD rate is not scheduled, and the Company does not have plan to change to KOFR.

The Company is exposed to the legal risk of changing the contract of financial instruments due to the reform of the interest rate indicator, as well as the process and operational risks to deal with such changes. In addition, the Company is also exposed to the risk of monitoring the market trend on the alternative index interest rate and establishing a risk management strategy accordingly to manage the risk of the new alternative index interest rate. The Company manages and monitors the transition to alternative interest rate benchmark by evaluating the extent to which a contract references IBOR cash flows, whether such contracts will need to be amended as a result of IBOR reform and how to manage communication about IBOR reform with counterparties.

The Company monitors the transition to an alternative interest rate benchmark by reviewing the total amounts of contracts that have yet to transition to an alternative benchmark rate and the amounts of such contracts that include an appropriate fallback clause. The Company considers that a contract is not yet transitioned to an alternative benchmark rate when interest rate under the contract is indexed to a benchmark rate that is still subject to IBOR reform, even if it includes a fallback clause that deals with the cessation of the existing IBOR. As of March 31, 2022, the total amounts of unreformed contracts and those with appropriate fallback language are as follows, and the financial instruments that will be settled before June 30, 2023 are excluded:


(In millions of won)
	Total amount of not transitioned *contracts()**
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Borrowings	W	1,670,904
Derivative assets
Cross currency interest rate swap contracts	W	87,589
Derivative liabilities
Cross currency interest rate swap contracts	W	218

(*)	The Company completed the insertion of a fallback clause for all unreformed contracts.

(b)

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 its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers.

The Company’s exposure to credit risk of trade and other receivables is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management believes that the default risk of the country in which each customer operates, do not have a significant influence on credit risk since the majority of the customers are global electronic appliance manufacturers operating in global markets.

The Company establishes credit limits for each customer and each new customer is analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively before determining whether to utilize third party guarantees, insurance or factoring as appropriate.

In relation to the impairment of financial assets subsequent to initial recognition, the Company recognizes the changes in expected credit loss (“ECL”) in profit or loss at each reporting date.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are as follows:


(In millions of won)
	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021

In addition to the financial assets above, as of March 31, 2022, the Company provides payment guarantees in connection with the principal amount of credit facilities amounting to USD 897 million (W1,086,357 million) (see note 14).

Trade accounts and notes receivable are insured in order for the Company to manage credit risk if they do not meet the Company’s internal credit ratings. Uninsured trade accounts and notes receivable are managed by continuous monitoring of internal credit rating standards established by the Company and seeking insurance coverage, if necessary.

(c)

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The Company has historically been able to satisfy its cash requirements from cash flows from operations and debt and equity financing. To the extent that the Company does not generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its capital requirements, the Company may rely on other financing activities, such as external long-term borrowings and offerings of debt instruments, equity-linked and other debt instruments. In addition, the Company maintains a line of credit with various banks.
