Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we had net income ofW852.0 billion compared to net income ofW1,262.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, on a separateK-IFRS basis.
Principal factors for the net income ofW852.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the net income ofW1,262.8 billion in the corresponding period of 2017 included:
| • | | a decrease in net gain onavailable-for-sale financial assets toW0 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 fromW869.3 billion in the corresponding period of 2017; the net gain ofW869.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was mainly attributable to gains from the sale of our equity interest in Korea Aerospace Industries, Ltd. in June 2017; |
| • | | net loss on derivatives ofW16.8 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net gain ofW376.1 billion in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily due to no recognition of valuation gain on embedded derivative instruments (such as conversion rights) in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of changes in accounting standards fromK-IFRS 1039 toK-IFRS 1109 in 2018; |
| • | | a decrease in net interest income toW960.4 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 fromW1,135.5 billion in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily due to an increase in funding cost; and |
| • | | a decrease in dividend income toW682.8 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 fromW784.9 billion in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily due to decreased dividends from investments in associates (including Korea Electric Power Corporation). |
The above factors were partially offset by (i) a decrease in provision for credit losses toW45.2 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 fromW888.3 billion in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily due to an improvement in loan quality and (ii) net gain on foreign exchange transactions ofW134.4 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net loss ofW102.4 billion in the corresponding period of 2017, primarily due to the depreciation of the Won against the U.S. dollar in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the corresponding period of 2017.
