Today, automobiles are no longer just a means of transportation.

Automobiles, as a living space, mean different things to different customers. 

As people’s perception of automobiles changed, so did the perception of Hyundai Motor as a brand. 

People expect more from Hyundai Motor. Therefore, the challenge now is to deliver greater value to our customers. 

Under the new slogan ‘New thinking. New Possibilities.’, Hyundai Motor is living up to the 

new challenge by creating new value for customers and society.

STRENGTHENING COMPETITIVENESS 

WITH INNOVATION 

AND BOLD INVESTMENTS

Despite volatile market conditions, Hyundai Motor has taken a great step towards the future in 2014. 

Sales have risen yet again achieving the highest ever annual sales of 4.96 million units. In addition, 

Hyundai Motor has strengthened its market presence in terms of important indicators such as 

quality, product competitiveness and brand value.

For example, Hyundai Motor ranked first in JD Power’s Initial Quality Study (IQS) in the US and 

second in the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) in China. Our flagship sedan, Genesis, as well as the 

new Sonata and new i10 also received great reviews, demonstrating Hyundai Motor’s strong product 

competitiveness. Avante (Elantra) became the first Hyundai Motor’s model to reach the 10 million 

sales mark and sales volumes of nine models exceeded 100,000 units in countries including South 

Korea, US and China in 2014, demonstrating the popularity of the Hyundai Motor brand worldwide. 

Hyundai Motor reaffirmed its competitiveness in next-generation technology was recognized 

the Tucson (ix35) Fuel Cell powertrain was listed as one of Ward’s ‘10 Best Engines’. Hyundai 

Motor’s brand value has increased significantly yet again moving up to 40th from 43rd in 2013 

according to the global brand consulting firm, Interbrand.

In 2015, Hyundai Motor aims to hit the sales mark of 5.05 million units and further strengthen its 

leading position in the global market. We are planning to make bold R&D investments to further 

improve quality, deliver greater customer satisfaction and strengthen future competitiveness. 

Stronger emphasis will be placed on quality verification at the product design stage and efforts 

to improve quality will be coordinated with the labor union, in order to set a new benchmark in 

automobile quality.

We will also make leapfrog improvements in our customer experience at the point of sales and 

service. Hyundai Motor will become a beloved brand by delivering complete satisfaction.

“We will strengthen our future competitiveness by making bold investments to develop innovative 

technologies, strengthen our product development capacity, enhance the quality of our customer 

service and increase our brand value as a leader in the global automobile industry.”

respects.

Faced with ever increasing uncertainty, we will establish an organic collaboration structure 

between production plants and the sales network, in order to improve the overall efficiency of 

our global production and sales operations, ultimately improving our capacity to achieve sustained 

growth.

Lastly, we will strive to become a responsible global corporate citizen by increasing the scope and 

scale of our social contribution activities worldwide. More effort will be made to ensure shared

Message 
from the CEO

WE WILL STRIVE 

TO BECOME A GLOBAL LEADER 

IN THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY.

Dear shareholders, 

Thank you for taking your time to attend the Hyundai Motor’s 47th annual shareholders’ meeting.

The year 2014 was full of challenges for the automobile industry, with the lowest market 

growth rate since 2010 and the global economy settling into a new normal of slow growth. 

The global economy slumped largely due to the slow growth of emerging economies. Backed by 

a favorable exchange rate, Japanese automakers presented a particularly difficult challenge to 

their competitors, including Hyundai Motor. Nevertheless, we achieved an annual sales growth 

of 4%, producing and selling 4.96 million units and surpassing our annual business target. 

We also strengthened our reputation as a leading automaker with significant achievements in 

quality management, R&D and brand image. Hyundai Motor was placed first in JD Power’s Initial 

Quality Study in the US and second in JD Power’s Vehicle Dependability Study in China. Our 

flagship sedan model, Genesis received great reviews, as did the new Sonata and i10. 

Hyundai Motor reaffirmed competitiveness in next-generation technology with the Tucson 

(ix35) FCEV’s powertrain being listed as one of Ward’s 10 Best Engines. Moreover, Hyundai’s 

brand value has increased significantly yet again, moving up to 40th place in Interbrand's Best 

Global Brands, making 2014 yet another year of strong growth in brand value.

All these achievements were made possible thanks to the strong support of our shareholders. 

We are determined to make 2015 another year full of great achievements. In 2015, we will 

overcome any challenges by working together even more effectively and in turn strengthening 

our internal capacity. We are aiming to manufacture and sell 5.05 million units and thereby 

surpassing the five million annual sales mark for the first time in Hyundai Motor’s history. 

Hyundai Motor’s key strategies for achieving this target are as follows.

First, we will continue to maintain our competitive edge in quality management. All members of 

Hyundai Motor will work together to further improve product quality and productivity at the 

same time, in order to avoid any large recalls such as the one recently experienced by another 

major automaker. Utmost efforts will be made by all departments at Hyundai Motor to optimize 

the quality of all new models released in 2015.

Second, in order to achieve our ambitious sales target, we will also make greater investments to 

achieve leapfrog improvements in our customers’ experience at the point of sales and services. 

Hyundai Motor’s ultimate goal is to achieve sustainable business growth whilst being a much 

beloved brand.

Third, we will continue to invest in R&D to enhance Hyundai Motor’s future competitiveness. 

We will invest in the development of innovative fuel efficiency improvement technologies as well 

as in green and smart technologies, leading on innovation and exceeding customer expectations.

Lastly, I would like to once again emphasize that every single member of Hyundai Motor will 

give their best to innovate and achieve our ambitious sales target of 5.05 million units.

Dear shareholders,

I ask for your continued support this year, as you have given us to date. We, at Hyundai, will 

strive to create greater value for customers and make Hyundai Motor a global leader in the 

automobile industry. 

I wish you and your family great fortune and good health.

NEW THINKING, NEW VALUES
THE WORLD OF MODERN PREMIUM

Even today’s most advanced products 

can quickly become outdated.

Hyundai Motor is striving to 

create cars today which will still be the 

best tomorrow. This is Hyundai Motor’s 

unique way of creating 

new experiences and new values.

REALIZING ‘MODERN PREMIUM’ VALUES 

WITH AUTOMOBILES THAT DELIVER MORE

Premium was once defined by a products quality. But it is now defined in terms 

of how a certain combination of great products and services can fulfill specific 

customer’s needs and even improve a customer’s life. Although it is a lofty goal, 

Hyundai Motor is aiming to become a brand that goes beyond even this new 

definition of premium. Creating something that goes beyond performance, design, 

service and price to deliver unprecedented levels of satisfaction is the goal of 

Hyundai Motor’s ‘Modern Premium’. It is also about providing an automobile 

experience full of art, culture and two-way communication.

A NEW VALUE PROPOSITION FOR AUTOMOBILES

Automobiles are no longer just a means of transport; they provide a living space and a 

companion for everyday life. Likewise, Hyundai Motor is committed to being much more 

than just an automaker. Under the slogan of ‘Modern Premium’, we want to deliver a new 

experience, with unprecedented levels of satisfaction. We will develop new models that 

complement customers’ lifestyles and foster a new automobile life and culture which will 

enrich the lives of our customers. Ultimately, we want to become a brand which helps our 

customers fulfill their dreams under the slogan of ‘Modern Premium’.

ENGAGING CUSTOMERS BEYOND AUTOMOBILES 

Hyundai Motor’s customer service is continuously evolving just as the technology and 

quality of our products are. Innovation is key to our desire to become not just a car seller 

but a company that engages with its customers and understands their needs. In 2013, we 

began our service innovation with the launch of ‘blueme service’ which is a diagnostics 

service which is designed specifically for female drivers. We have also modified some 

of our shops with popular non-automobile themes such as coffee, flowers and cartoon 

characters to suit local customer preferences.

In 2015, we plan to launch ‘Auto Square’ a new multi-shop customer experience in 

collaboration with premium audio manufacturer, Harman Kardon, and Coffee Bean, one 

of the most popular coffee shop chains. Our customers have been very receptive to our 

engagement efforts. This is a part of our wider ‘Modern Premium’ branding effort.

SUPPORTING ART AND 
BEING INSPIRED

It takes a lot of inspiration to develop all the technologies involved in designing and 

creating a new automobile model. Hyundai Motor is also thinking of ways in which 

the brand can be inspired by art.

We have actively been working to enhance the artistic quality of our products and 

brand. At the same time, we are supporting the artists who create work that inspires 

us. We are aiming to grow and contribute to the creation of a robust art community. 

We firmly believe that supporting activities that allow more people to appreciate art 

is a part of ‘Modern Premium’.

CREATING A 
GREAT EXPERIENCE AND 
LASTING MEMORIES

Hyundai Motor is working with a number of art museums in a variety of ways. 

For example, Hyundai Motor has entered into a ten-year partnership for the 

‘Hyundai Motor Series’ exhibition with National Gallery of Modern Art in Seoul. It also 

signed a long-term partnership agreement, the longest lasting ever, with Tate Modern 

not just as a funding provider but as an active participant in the creation of exhibitions 

that deliver great value to society. ‘The Brilliant Art Project’ is yet another Hyundai 

Motor initiative designed to introduce creative works to the greater public. There are a 

number of other collaborative art projects also being implemented. At Hyundai Motor, 

we want our products and activities to ultimately lead to a great customer experience. 

Likewise, all our art projects from the ‘brilliant memories’ campaign to ‘brilliant 30’ 

were designed to help us realize our brand vision of ‘Modern Premium’. We firmly 

believe that our continued involvement in art projects and collaboration initiatives will 

help Hyundai Motor realize its vision of ‘Modern Premium’ with added value.

DEMONSTRATING HYUNDAI MOTOR’S 
STRENGTH IN POWERTRAIN 
TECHNOLOGY

After winning multiple ‘Ward’s 10 Best 

Engines’ awards for its engines, Hyundai 

Motor has now demonstrated its strength 

in alternative powertrain technology with 

its fuel cell making it into the ‘2015 10 Best 

Engines Winners’ by US Ward’s Auto. 

It was the first time a fuel cell had made it 

onto the list. 

Thanks to its leading engine design and 

manufacturing capacity, Hyundai Motor has 

made it onto the ‘Ward’s 10 Best Engines’ 

list five times with Tau engine on the list for 

three consecutive years (2008- 2010) and 

Gamma engine in 2011.

A DREAM ENGINE FOR PREMIUM PERFORMANCE

The engine is the heart of a car and having a great engine is essential for making a 

great car. It has been just over two decades since Hyundai Motor introduced its first 

in-house developed engine, and already it is a leading engine maker. 

Until recently, the industry had focused on the creation of powerful engines. 

However, Hyundai Motor reassessed this fundamental goal, shifting away from the 

old goals of achieving ‘more power’ and ‘faster acceleration’.

Built for multiple goals from good performance to environmental benefits. 

Hyundai Motor’s R&D effort has been focusing its R&D effort on creating engines 

which can achieve high efficiency during everyday use. The shift in development 

goals is due to the slower average operation speed due to traffic congestion and 

slower speed limits imposed due to safety concerns. Growing customer demand for 

high fuel efficiency cars is yet another reason.

Since good performance characteristics are still important, Hyundai Motor is 

trying to strike the perfect balance between power and efficiency with special 

consideration to the environmental. We are committed to working towards better 

performance, higher efficiency and cleaner emissions.

51.2 : 48.8

IDEAL FRONT AND REAR WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION IN CAR BODY

Hyundai Motor has achieved 51.2 : 48.8 front-to-rear weight distribution, an 
ideal yet extremely difficult to achieve ratio, ensuring exceptional drivability. 
The wheelbase was extended with reduced overhang at both the front and 
rear. However, the length of the front hood was increased to achieve a 
more dynamic profile. High speed operation stability was also improved with 
improved aerodynamics. (Genesis G330 with panoramic sunroof)

CREATING A STRONGER YET LIGHTER CAR BODY

The vehicle body is the skeleton of an automobile, which not only houses and supports 

the vehicle components but also protect the passengers. Body design is also essential 

to achieving an aesthetically pleasing exterior design. Engineers at Hyundai Motor are 

doing they utmost to ensure maximum safety for all of the occupants, applying their 

ingenuity and the latest technologies in every way possible. 

51.5%

USE OF ADVANCED HIGH STRENGTH STEEL

High structural rigidity is key to improved durability and collision 

safety. Hyundai Motor is increasing the use of Advanced High 

Strength Steel (AHSS) with tensile strength above 60kg which is 

lighter than regular steel but more than twice as strong. In addition, 

the use of parts made using an advanced hot-stamping method has 

increased and dual sectional structure was applied as well, in order to 

achieve better ride quality and smoother handling, ultimately creating 
a premium drivability. (Genesis)

MAKING A SAFER CAR WITH THE 

BEST TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE

Safety technology is the most important of all automobile 

technologies. Hyundai Motor is developing various safety 

enhancement systems in order to provide the best possible 

protection for people inside and outside of Hyundai Motor 

cars, in all possible situations. 

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Advanced Traction 

Cornering Control (ATCC), Vehicle Stability Management 

(VSM), and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) are 

examples of Hyundai Motor’s latest safety systems. 

Hyundai Motor is also conducting collision performance 

tests to further improve its safety performance rating.

A DESIGN INSPIRED 

BY NATURE, 

ART AND PEOPLE

‘FLUIDIC SCULPTURE’ : 

EVOLUTION IN AESTHETICS OF AUTOMOBILE DESIGN

Great designs can considerably increase the value of 

advanced technologies by making them shine. ‘Fluidic 

Sculpture’ is Hyundai Motor’s design philosophy which 

aspires to create advanced designs.

‘Fluidic Sculpture’ takes its inspiration from nature and 

through a unique process turns this inspiration into a 

great design. The end result embodies nature’s vibrant 

energy and dynamism. Breaking down the barriers 

between art and automobile design, ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ 

has given a unique design identity to Hyundai Motor. 

Hyundai Motor introduced ‘Fluidic Sculpture’ to the 

world in 2009, with the launch of Sonata which received 

overwhelmingly positive reviews for its unique and 

stunning look. Hyundai Motor subsequently announced 

‘Fluidic Sculpture 2.0’ and has been applying it to its new 

models since 2013. 

Thanks to great design, the owners of Hyundai Motor 

models can enjoy great satisfaction and a sense of 

pride, whilst inspiring others to become a part of 

Hyundai Motor’s exciting design revolution.

HMI

REALIZING ‘MODERN PREMIUM’ WITH GREAT DESIGN AND 

ATTRACTIVE TECHNOLOGY

Hyundai Motor’s design philosophy goes beyond aesthetics by eliminating the 

unnecessary and incorporating all of the necessary elements into a great design.

Although Hyundai Motor is known for its striking exterior designs, every aspect of 

the design is carefully thought through, especially the interior design, to ensure great 

ergonomics which leads to exceptional comfort for drivers and passengers alike. 

Clustering and placing buttons in the most convenient locations, fine-tuning the design 

to a tenth of an inch and using materials that convey a sense of refinement when 

touched are all parts of Hyundai Motor’s design practice based on Human Machine 

Interface (HMI) principles. Following the HMI principles, Hyundai Motor is creating 

interior designs that are simple, intuitive and ergonomic which leads to higher levels of 

emotional satisfaction.

Imagine

CREATING DESIGNS EMBODYING THE DNA OF ‘MODERN PREMIUM’

Hyundai Motor’s designers working in Korea, the US, Germany, China, Japan and 

India, each bring their own unique perspective, a key source of inspiration and 

competitiveness. Needless to say, designer’s imagination is the earth from which

over icy roads and rough tracks in high altitude regions. It takes great technological 

capacity and strong performance to win the race.

In 2014, Hyundai Motor re-entered the WRC with rally cars built on its i20 platform 

and has since been placed 3rd or higher in the four races up to the WRC Sweden 

rally in 2015. Strong performance at the WRC demonstrated Hyundai Motor’s 

technological capacity and enhanced its brand reputation.

With Hyundai Mobis, Hyundai Steel and Hyundai Wia as new sponsors, Hyundai 

Motor plans to continue its participation in the WRC with the goal of not just winning 

the championship but of becoming the best brand known in the automotive industry.

Values of
Hyundai Motor

Quality

Striving for perfection

Hyundai Motor has been upholding its management 

principle to never compromise on quality, whilst 

strengthening transparency and business ethics to 

further improve quality. For example, Hyundai Motor 

has established cutting-edge infrastructure for testing 

not just real parts but parts that only exist on blueprint, 

identifying potential problems even before they have 

materialized. These advanced tools are helping to 

deliver exceptionally well built cars which deliver greater 

satisfaction to customers.

One automobile : with over 30,000 parts.

Hyundai Motor introduced a five-star rating system 

for quality assessment of suppliers in order to motivate 

them to produce the highest quality parts. Many tests 

are conducted throughout the assembly process in order 

to achieve the best possible product quality. Hyundai 

Motor’s commitment to quality knows no bounds.

THE SECRET BEHIND 

HYUNDAI MOTOR’S 
QUALITY MANAGEMENT IS 

RELENTLESS EFFORT TO 

ACHIEVE THE BEST QUALITY

High product quality is essential to winning customer’s trust and ensuring 

the longevity of a brand. A brand can withstand the competition when it 

leads the competition in terms of quality. 

This is why Hyundai Motor is continually emphasizing quality management 

under the slogan ‘The Hyundai way is the quality way’. 

Hyundai Motor’s quality management aims for excellence throughout 

the complete lifecycle of its products with an emphasis on customer 

engagement, in order to become the most beloved brand in the world.

Proactive quality management and creative effort

‘Proactive’ and ‘Creative’ are two keywords which define the essence of 

Hyundai Motor’s quality management practices. Rather than just following the 

same strategy as other global automakers, we analyze changing trends and 

proactively implement creative solutions which coincide with Hyundai Motor’s 

management practices. All global companies invest in quality management. 

However, not all succeed in achieving their goals. Often, companies suffer 

when they blindly follow the successful strategy of others, sometimes driving 

them to a serious decline in business. Recognizing this, Hyundai is determined 

to walk its own path under the slogan of ‘the Hyundai Motor way is the 

quality way’. Hyundai Motor is determined to continue innovating new ways 

to further improve quality, until and after Hyundai Motor becomes the brand 

of choice.

Best quality verified

Hyundai Motor is reaping the fruits of quality management with concrete 

achievements. Hyundai Motor was placed first in 2004 JD Power’s Initial 

Quality Study in the US within the non-luxury brand category. 

Hyundai Motor was also placed first in 2006 and 2009 as well, and second in 

the Vehicle Dependability Study in China. Our flagship sedan model, Genesis, 

as well as the new Sonata and new i10 also received great reviews. 

The Czech Society for Quality (CSQ) awarded Hyundai Motor’s assembly plants 

in Nosovice, in the Moravian-Silesian Region, the highest mark of ‘Excellence’.

for example by launching the automotive industry’s 

Hyundai Motor has developed a new customer service system, 

first ‘Before Service’ (free vehicle inspections before

services available anywhere, anytime. For example, Hyundai 

Motor released a new mobile platform-based diagnostics 

system in 2014, which allows a vehicle’s condition to be 

assessed in a much less time than previously required. 

Because the new system is PC-based, diagnostics can also 

take place away from service stations, further enhancing 

breakdowns) to more than four million people worldwide, 

and expanding the ‘Home-to-Home Service’ to facilitate 

maintenance by offering convenient vehicle pick-up 

and delivery services for customers. Hyundai Motor has 

maintained the highest level of customer satisfaction in

in major European cities. Furthermore, official 

transportation vehicles and emergency repair service 

was will be provided throughout the tournament.

Reaching out to customers through sports sponsorship

Hyundai Motor’s sports sponsorship has in recent 

years expanded into golf and cricket. For example, 

as part of an effort to diversify the sponsorship, 

Hyundai Motor has been the title sponsor of the 

PGA opening tournament since 2011, the Hyundai 

Motor Tournament of Champions. High-end and 

green cars were displayed at tournament sites as 

a part of the marketing effort. Hyundai Motor’s 

International Cricket Council (ICC) sponsorship began 

in 2011 when it first participated as the Official Car 

Partner of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011. 

Hyundai Motor supported a number of major events 

including the T20 in 2012 and 2014, the Champions’ 

trophy in 2013 and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.

2 billion people worldwide. Hyundai Motor has been 

sponsoring major cricket events through activities 

such as the provision of official transportation and 

the Hyundai Fan Park event.

Motor Shows : introducing new models to customers

Hyundai Motor is actively participating in both 

international motor shows in US, Europe and China as 

well as smaller ones held in emerging markets. In 2014,

of the second generation Genesis. The HED-9 Intrado 

next-generation FCEV concept and SUV ix25 concept 

received strong media attention at the 2014 Geneva 

Motor Show and Beijing Motor Show, respectively.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

English Translation of Independent Auditors’ Report Originally Issued in Korean on March 3, 2015

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Hyundai Motor Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Hyundai Motor Company (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, 

which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and 

the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows, all ex-

pressed in Korean won, for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. 

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with 

Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (“K-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.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an audit opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance 

with Korean Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to 

obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The 

procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial 

statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the en-

tity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the cir-

cumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes 

evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as 

well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient 

and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. 

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and 

its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the

years then ended in accordance with K-IFRS.

Others

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 in accordance 

with the former KSAs, known as auditing standards generally accepted in Korea, which we relied on the report of other auditor on 

the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries whose financial statements reflect 42.3% of consolidated total assets as 

of December 31, 2013 and 49.0% of consolidated total sales for the year then ended, respectively.

March 3, 2015

Notice to Readers

This report is effective as of March 3, 2015, the auditor’s report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances may have occurred 

between the auditor’s report date and the time the auditor’s report is read. Such events or circumstances could significantly affect 

the financial statements and may result in modifications to the auditor’s report.

(3) Fair value estimation

Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value are grouped into Level 1 to Level 3, based on 

the degree to which the fair value is observable, as described below:

■ Level 1 : Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

■ Level 2 :  Fair  value  measurements  are  those  derived  from  inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  included  within  Level  1  that  are 

 observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

■  Level 3 : Fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are 

 not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Description of 
relationship

If the sales growth 
rate and the pre-tax

rise or the discount 
rate declines, the fair 
value increases.

(8)  Descriptions of the valuation techniques and the inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 and 

 Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy are as follows:

The Group believes that the changes of unobservable inputs to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not have 

significant effects on the fair value measurements.

- Currency forwards and options

Fair value of currency forwards and options is measured based on forward exchange rate quoted in the current market at the end 

of the reporting period, which has the same remaining period of derivatives to be measured. If the forward exchange rate, which 

20. CAPITAL STOCK:

has the same remaining period of currency forward and option, is not quoted in the current market, fair value is measured using 

estimates of similar period of forward exchange rate by applying interpolation method with quoted forward exchange rates. 

The Company’s number of shares authorized is 600,000,000 shares. Common stock and preferred stock as of December 31, 2014 and 

As the inputs used to measure fair value of currency forwards and options are supported by observable market data, such as for-

ward exchange rates, the Group classified the estimates of fair value measurements of the currency forwards and options as Level 

2 of the fair-value hierarchy.

- Debt instruments including corporate bonds

Fair value of debt instruments including corporate bonds is measured applying discounted cash flow method. The rate used to dis-

count cash flows is determined based on swap rate and credit spreads of debt instruments, which have the similar credit rating and 

period quoted in the current market with those of debt instruments including corporate bonds that should be measured. The Group 

classifies fair value measurements of debt instruments including corporate bonds as Level 2 of the fair-value hierarchy since the 

rate, which has significant effects on fair value of debt instruments including corporate bonds, is based on observable market data.

- Unlisted equity securities

The Company completed stock retirement of 10,000,000 common shares and 1,320,000 common shares as of March 5, 2001 and May 4, 

Fair value of unlisted equity securities is measured using discounted cash flow projection, and certain assumptions not based on 

2004, respectively. Due to these stock retirements, the total face value of outstanding stock differs from the capital stock amount. 

observable market prices or rate, such as sales growth rate, pre-tax operating income ratio and discount rate based on business 

plan and circumstance of industry are used to estimate the future cash flow. The weighted-average cost of capital used to discount 

the  future  cash  flows,  is  calculated  by  applying  the  Capital  Asset  Pricing  Model,  using  the  data  of  similar  listed  companies.  The 

Group determines that the effect of estimation and assumptions referred above affecting fair value of unlisted equity securities is 

significant and classifies fair value measurements of unlisted securities as Level 3 of the fair-value hierarchy.

The Group is exposed to various financial risks such as market risk (foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit 

risk and liquidity risk related to its financial instruments. The purpose of risk management of the Group is to identify potential risks 

related to financial performance and reduce, eliminate and evade those risks to an acceptable level of risks to the Group. Overall, the 

Group’s financial risk management policy is consistent with the prior period policy.

1) Market risk

The Group is mainly exposed to financial risks arising from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Accordingly, the 

Group uses financial derivative contracts to hedge and to manage its interest rate risk and foreign currency risk.

a) Foreign exchange risk management

The Group is exposed to various foreign exchange risks by making transactions in foreign currencies. The Group is mainly exposed to 

foreign exchange risk in USD, EUR and JPY.

The Group manages foreign exchange risk by matching the inflow and the outflow of foreign currencies according to each currency 

and  maturity,  and  by  adjusting  the  foreign  currency  settlement  date  based on  its  exchange  rate forecast. The Group uses foreign 

exchange derivatives; such as currency forward, currency swap, and currency option; as hedging instruments. However, speculative 

foreign exchange trade on derivative financial instruments is prohibited.
