(“SK O&S”), the Company’s subsidiary responsible for the operation of the Company’s networks, provides customers with quality network services and provides the Company with technological know-how in network operations.

The Company plans to maintain stable growth in the sales of its wireless business based on a solid expansion in the number of 5G subscribers, while continuously enhancing profitability by pursuing efficient investments in, and operation of, its wireless networks and the stabilization of market competition.

The Company’s “T Universe” service, which was launched in the second half of 2021, provides a wide array of subscription products through collaboration with various partnering businesses. T Universe offers a variety of subscription product line-ups including discounts and benefits on products relating to everyday life as well as specialized e-commerce products, and the Company plans to enhance customer value by further strengthening the convenience of the T Universe offerings in the future.

The Company’s newly launched service, “A.” (or “A dot”), is an artificial intelligence service for consumers, which is evolving to become tailored for each customer, and the Company is seeking to make it highly personalized through deep learning. In order for A. to become a service embedded in customers’ daily lives, the Company plans to integrate A. with various other services offered by the Company and third party businesses.

Another new business of the Company, “ifland,” is a metaverse platform service that emphasizes the element of “communication” in the metaverse environment, which market is expected to have a high growth potential as the contactless culture becomes more prevalent and as technological advancements in areas such as 5G, augmented reality and virtual reality are achieved.

 

A.	Industry Characteristics

The telecommunications services market can be categorized into telecommunications services (such as fixed-line, wireless and leased line services (as well as sales intermediary services relating thereto) and value-added services) and broadcasting and telecommunications convergence services (including IPTV and integrated fixed-line and mobile telecommunication services). Pursuant to the Telecommunications Business Act, the telecommunications services market can be further classified into basic telecommunications (fixed-line and wireless telecommunications), special category telecommunications (resale of telecommunications equipment, facilities and services) and value-added telecommunications (Internet connection and management, media contents and others).

The size of the domestic telecommunications services market is determined based on various factors specific to Korea, including size of population that uses telecommunication services and telecommunications expenditures per capita. While it is possible for Korean telecommunication service providers to provide services abroad through acquisitions or otherwise, foreign telecommunication services markets have their own characteristics depending, among others, on the regulatory environment and demand for telecommunication services.

 

B.	Growth Potential

The Korean mobile communication market is considered to have reached its maturation stage with more than a 100% penetration rate. However, the Korean mobile communications market continues to improve in the quality of services with the help of advances in network-related technology and the development of highly advanced smartphones which enable the provision of New ICT services for advanced multimedia contents, mobile commerce, mobility and other related services. In addition, the ultra-low latency and high capacity characteristics of 5G networks as well as the advancement of AI are expected to accelerate the introduction of new services and the growth of IoT-based B2B businesses.

C.	Domestic and Overseas Market Conditions

The Korean mobile communication market includes the entire population of Korea with mobile communication service needs, and almost every Korean is considered a potential user. Sales revenue related to data services has been growing due to the increasing popularity of smartphones and high-speed wireless networks. There is also a growing importance to the B2B segment, which creates added value by selling and developing various solutions. The telecommunications industry is a regulated industry requiring license and approval from the MSIT.

In the wireless business, industry players compete on the basis of the following three main competitive elements:

(i) brand competitiveness, which refers to the overall sense of recognition and loyalty experienced by customers with respect to services and values provided by a company, including the images created by a company’s comprehensive activities and communications on top of the actual services rendered;

(ii) product and service competitiveness, which refers to the fundamental criteria for wireless telecommunications services, including voice quality, service coverage, broad ranges of rate plans, diversified mobile Internet services, price and quality of devices and customer service quality, as well as the ability to develop new services that meet customer needs in a market environment defined by convergence; and

(iii) sales competitiveness, which refers to novel and diversified marketing methods and the strength of the distribution network.

Set forth below is the historical market share of the Company (excluding MVNO subscribers).

D.	Competitive Strengths

The Company successfully completed the Spin-off of SK Square Co., Ltd. (“SK Square”) from SK Telecom in 2021 (the “Spin-off”) to maximize shareholder value and launched “SKT 2.0.” Concurrently, the Company reorganized its business to center around five major business areas and is seeking maximization of overall corporate value by establishing and executing strategies optimized for each business segment and pursuing growth in each segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded Won 4,343.4 billion in operating revenue and Won 465.6 billion in operating profit on a consolidated basis and Won 3,122.6 billion in operating revenue and Won 388.7 billion in operating profit for the period on a separate basis. The Company is continuing to increase its revenue and enhance its profitability by leveraging its competitiveness in the 5G market and secured 12.47 million 5G subscribers as of September 30, 2022.

SK Telink Co., Ltd. (“SK Telink”), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, operates its MVNO service, “SK 7Mobile,” which is offered at reasonable rates and provides excellent quality. SK Telink is increasing its efforts to develop low-cost distribution channels and create niche markets through targeted marketing towards customers including foreign workers, middle-aged adults and students.

SK O&S, a subsidiary of the Company responsible for the operation of the Company’s base stations and related transmission and power facilities, offers quality fixed-line and wireless network services to customers, including mobile office products to business customers. In addition, Service Ace is developing its competence as a marketing company while providing top-quality customer service.

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

[Fixed-line Business]

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, SK Broadband Co., Ltd. (“SK Broadband”) recorded Won 3,103.0 billion in revenue on a consolidated basis, which represented a 3.8% increase from Won 2,988.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The sales growth was primarily attributable to the growth in SK Broadband’s media business in light of the expansion of its subscriber base, and the growth of its B2B business including an increase in the utilization rate of its new data centers.

SK Broadband’s business is divided into the media business segment, which provides IPTV and cable TV services, and the fixed-line business segment, which provides high-speed Internet, fix-line telecommunications, dedicated telecommunication lines and data center services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the media business segment recorded Won 1,414.8 billion in revenue, which represented a 3.0% increase compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the fixed-line business segment recorded Won 1,688.2 billion in revenue, which represented an 4.5% increase compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

A.	Industry Characteristics

The domestic telecommunication service industry displays the typical characteristics of a domestic industry given that its coverage area is limited to Korea. As a result, the size of the industry is greatly affected by the domestic economic factors including the domestic user population and the level of telecommunication service expenditures in light of the domestic income level. Domestic telecommunication companies may expand overseas through acquisitions or direct expansion, but the overseas telecommunication service industries are subject to inherently different industry characteristics from the domestic one, depending on the regulatory and demand characteristics of each country.

The broadcasting business involves the planning, programming or production of broadcasting programs and transmission to viewers through telecommunication facilities. The broadcasting market can be categorized into terrestrial broadcasting, fixed-line TV broadcasting, satellite broadcasting and programming-providing businesses, in each case pursuant to the Broadcasting Act, as well as Internet multimedia broadcasting business pursuant to the Internet Multimedia Broadcast Services Act. SK Broadband engages in the fixed-line TV broadcasting business, which is defined as the business of managing and operating fixed-line TV broadcasting stations (including their facilities and employees for the purpose of providing multi-channel broadcasting) and providing broadcasts through transmission and line facilities. The Internet multimedia broadcasting refers to the broadcasting of programs through a combination of various contents including data, video, voice, sound and/or e-commerce, including real-time broadcasting, while guaranteeing a consistent service quality through a bidirectional Internet protocol using a broadband integrated information network.

As a result of the government’s direct and indirect control over the fixed-line telecommunications industry, ranging from service licensing to business activities, the industry’s overall growth potential and degree of competition are greatly affected by the government’s regulatory policies. The fixed-line telecommunications industry is also a technology-intensive industry that evolves rapidly and continuously through the development of communications technology and equipment, which requires proactive responses in meeting the needs of subscribers by developing new services and penetrating the market. Fixed-line telecommunications services have become universal and essential means of communication and act as the foundation for integration and convergence with various other services. The essential nature of such services provides stable demand, resulting in low sensitivity to economic conditions.

In addition, the Korean fixed-line services industry is marked by a high level of market concentration, as the government is highly selective in granting telecommunications business licenses. While the competitive landscape of the fixed-line and wireless services markets is dominated by its three leading operators, the Company (including SK Broadband), KT and LG U+, the intensity of competition is growing as digitalization of communication technologies and devices leads to the convergence of fixed-line and wireless services, as well as broadcasting and telecommunications, and technology for faster data communication services is developed.

In the high-speed Internet services market, the demand for faster and more reliable premium Giga Internet services is increasing due to the growth in usage of home mobile networks using Wi-Fi and an increased consumption of high-definition large media content.

With the mergers and acquisitions among IPTV service providers and multiple service operators, the paid broadcasting market has reorganized around IPTV operators, and companies are moving away from competition based on subscriber base expansion to competition based on media platform services. The transition to a contactless service society due to COVID-19 has led to increased consumption of paid content by viewers, accelerating competition through the ability to source unique contents. The Company expects new growth in the home platform domain by providing customized services using ICT convergence technologies such as AI and big data in addition to differentiated contents.

In the corporate business market, the Company is continuing its efforts to generate stable returns by securing growth drivers in new service areas such as cloud computing, while also strengthening its competitiveness in the traditional fixed line-based business through expansion of core infrastructure including data centers, which have seen an increase in market demand recently.

C.	Cyclical Nature and Seasonality

High-speed Internet and fixed-line telephone services operate in mature markets that are comparatively less sensitive to cyclical economic changes as the services provided by different operators have become less differentiated. TV services have become necessities that provide broadcasting, and the market, which is subject to a subscriber-based business model, has little sensitivity to cyclical economic changes. The telecommunications services market overall is not expected to be particularly affected by economic downturns due to the low income elasticity of demand for telecommunication services.

SK Broadband is engaged in a number of business areas including high-speed Internet, home telephone, corporate business, IPTV and cable TV pursuant to the relevant communications regulations such as the Telecommunications Business Act, the Internet Multimedia Broadcast Services Act and the Broadcasting Act. In each of its principal business areas, SK Broadband principally competes on the basis of price, service quality and speed. In the IPTV business, the ability to offer complex services and differentiated contents are becoming increasingly important. General telecommunications businesses operate in a licensed industry with a high barrier of entry, which is dominated by SK Broadband, KT and LG U+.

[Other Businesses]

The commercial retail data broadcasting channel business offers an interactive service that integrates television home shopping and data shopping services. Such service allows television viewers to use video-on-demand (“VOD”) services to purchase products sold on television home shopping channels, which were previously only available for purchase in real-time when such relevant programming was being broadcast.

In order to secure core competencies at an early stage and achieve differentiation, the Company has been actively searching for high-efficiency television channels while increasing the competitiveness of its content production capacity by building the Company’s own media center and adopting a media wall with the objective of transforming it into an eco-friendly digital studio. In addition to enhancing the convenience of shopping experience by offering various media content on its mobile live platform, the Company was the first in the industry to launch a cloud-based television application service, “Stoa ON,” which provides personalized digital television shopping services. Furthermore, the Company has been establishing itself as a leading shopping channel service provider by securing a diverse product portfolio and engaging in product development in areas ranging from fashion to health food. Within three years following the spin-off of SK stoa Co., Ltd. (“SK Stoa”) into a separate entity, its commercial retail data broadcasting channel business has attained the leading position in the television commerce (“T-commerce”) market.

The Company manages its corporate brand and other product brands in a comprehensive way to protect and increase their value. The Company operates an intranet system called “Comm.ON” in order to implement consistent communication with consumers across various areas including branding, design, marketing and public relations, and systematically manages the development, registration and licensing of brands through such system.

[SK Telecom]

As of September 30, 2022, the Company held 3,298 Korean-registered patents and 1,502 foreign-registered patents. The Company holds 740 Korean-registered trademarks and owns intellectual property rights to its proprietary graphic design of the alphabet “T” representing its brand. The designed alphabet “T” is registered in all business categories for trademarks (total of 45). The number of registered patents and trademarks is subject to constant change due to the acquisition of new rights, expiration of terms, abandonments and dispositions.

[SK Broadband]

It also holds 294 Korean-registered trademarks and owns intellectual property rights to its proprietary graphic design of the alphabet “B” representing its brand. The designed alphabet “B” is registered in all business categories for trademarks (total of 45). The number of registered patents and trademarks is subject to continual change due to the acquisition of new rights, expiration of terms, abandonments and dispositions.

 

C.	Business-related Pollutants and Environmental Protection

[SK Telecom]

The Company does not directly engage in any manufacturing and therefore does not undertake any industrial processes that emit pollutants into the air or industrial processes in which hazardous materials are used. Nevertheless, the Company clearly recognizes the severity of the climate crisis and has been diligently fulfilling its social obligations by establishing a systematic and practical environmental management strategy system. Under the vision of “realizing a sustainable future based on ICT” and to achieve Net Zero by 2050, the Company is making efforts to (1) preemptively respond to climate change, (2) improve its environmental management system and (3) create an eco-friendly green culture. To this end, the Company was one of the first IT companies in Korea to join the RE100 (Renewable Electricity 100%) initiative and signed a green premium contract with Korea Electric Power Corporation. The Company has been implementing company-wide adoption of renewable energy through efforts such as installing solar power generation equipment in its office buildings and base stations. In addition, the Company leads in energy savings and environmental protections based on ICT technology, and recently became the first company in the telecommunications industry to obtain carbon emission rights by reducing greenhouse gas through integration of telecommunications equipment and technology upgrades.

[SK Broadband]

SK Broadband does not directly engage in any manufacturing processes that emit environmental pollutants, and more than 99% of its greenhouse gas emissions is indirect emissions from its use of external electricity. SK Broadband was selected as a business subject to allocation of emission permits as part of Korea’s greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme that commenced in 2015, and it actively fulfills its obligations and consistently achieves the targets set by the government.

In 2021, SK Broadband declared its goal to achieve Net Zero by 2045 in an effort to actively participate in the international community’s response to climate change. Prior to the declaration, SK Broadband had already subscribed to RE100 initiative in 2020. Since 2021, SK Broadband has participated in Korea Electrical Power Corporation’s renewable energy power purchase program, “Green Premium,” to implement RE100 and is considering the installation of additional solar power generation facilities to self-produce and use renewable energy.

Policies for Loss Allowance

The Company establishes loss allowances based on the likelihood of recoverability of trade and other receivables based on their aging at the end of the period and past customer default experience for the past three years. With respect to trade receivables relating to wireless telecommunications services, the Company considers the likelihood of recovery based on past customer default experience and the length of default in connection with the type of default (e.g., whether the customer’s service has been terminated or is continued). Consistent with customary practice, the Company writes off trade and other receivables for which the prescription period has passed or that are determined to be impossible or economically too costly to collect, including receivables that are less than Won 200,000 and more than six months overdue and receivables that have been determined to be the subject of identity theft.
