MEANING OF 
MODERN PREMIUM 

THINK  
DIFFERENTLY

Modern Premium is about changing the way people think about automobiles.

Automobiles have been just a means of transportation for people. 

Regardless of the advancements that are being made in automotive 

technologies and design, automobiles are still perceived as just automobiles.

So, Hyundai Motor’s philosophy of Modern Premium is to redefine 

automobiles and add more significance to our cars in our lives.

In other words, the concept of Modern Premium was created to change 

how the world thinks about automobiles. Modern Premium is about much 

more than just superior quality, performance, design or service. 

It is about providing an automobile experience beyond all expectations. 

Ultimately, our vision of Modern Premium is about making automobiles 

become a valued lifetime partner.

Hyundai Motor strives to deliver ‘premium’ experiences to yet more customers of today 

with our products and new technologies. 

THE STORY OF

HYUNDAI

REACHES OUT TO CUSTOMERS IN A 

UNIQUE WAY. 

A CULTURAL SPACE GOING BEYOND 
AUTOMOBILES

Hyundai Motorstudio is a brand experience center in Seoul established by

FUTURE TECHNOLOGY

BECOMING A LEADER IN THE 

GLOBAL MARKET WITH HUMAN-

FOCUSED TECHNOLOGIES.

CREATING NEW VALUES FOR CUSTOMERS

Hyundai Motor has created a roadmap to improve fuel efficiency by 2020 and is 

continuing to develop advanced new technologies to gain global competitiveness 

in fuel efficiency. 

The ultimate goal of the roadmap is to achieve a 25 percent improvement in fuel 

efficiency beyond the baseline by 2020. This requires the incorporation of 

next-generation powertrains in up to 70 percent of vehicles sold. Vehicle weight 

reduction effort is at full force, with the goal of an average 5 percent reduction. 

Part of the reduction will be achieved by increasing the use of high strength steel 

plates to 48 to 62 percent and incorporating a proportion of parts made with 

advanced materials such as aluminum, engineering plastics and carbon fibers.

As a leading automaker of green cars, Hyundai Motor launched its first dedicated 

eco-friendly model IONIQ in January 2016, which has the highest fuel efficiency 

in its class at 22.4 km/L. 

Hyundai Motor will continue to introduce new green vehicles, from compact cars to 

SUVs, in order to create a full product line-up serving a wide range of customers. 

We will also make sustained progress in improving convenience and safety including 

intelligent safety enhancement, in order to better cater to customer needs. 

We firmly believe that creating advanced safety features based on smart 

technologies will serve as the foundation for future autonomous driving technology.

MAKING PEOPLES’ DREAMS COME 

TRUE, AUTONOMOUS DRIVING IS 

RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

ACCELERATING THE ERA OF 
‘CAR TO LIFE’

Four main service fields of 

Hyper-connected Intelligent Cars

The core of autonomous driving is the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS).

Hyundai Motor first introduced its ADAS technology in 2010 with the ix35 (Tucson) 

autonomous demonstration car. The company has since introduced a number of new 

technologies which enable autonomous driving and are applying those technologies to 

production cars. November 2015, Hyundai Motor acquired a license to test autonomous 

driving technologies with its ix35 Fuel Cell (Tucson Fuel Cell) in Nevada, U.S. Hyundai 

Motor was the second company to acquire a license to test autonomous driving 

technology in the U.S. The ix35 Fuel Cell (Tucson Fuel Cell) was equipped with a large 

number of new autonomous driving and safety technologies, including features for 

various types of roads including congested ones, making emergency maneuvers to 

the hard shoulder, navigating narrow roads and more. In December 2015, the ‘Genesis 

Smart Sense’, a collection of ADAS technologies was unveiled with the Genesis G90. 

It was the latest iteration of Hyundai Motor’s autonomous driving technology.

ADAS technologies currently employed in production models 

Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)

Autonomous Emergency Braking system (AEB)

Advanced Smart Cruise Control (ASCC) 

Advanced Smart Parking Assist System (ASPAS)

Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS)

Highway Driving Assist (HDA) 

Smart Blind Spot Detection (SBSD)

AUTOMOBILES AS A MOVING LIVING SPACE,

HYUNDAI MOTOR IS ACCELERATING INTO THE FUTURE.  

An automobile is not just a means of transport or just a product of engineering.

Hyundai Motor is leading the development of technologies to utilize automobiles as IT 

machines which can effortlessly access information on the Internet and communicate 

vehicle information wherever necessary. The ‘Connected Car’ currently under 

development by Hyundai Motor will not only enable new features such as remote 

diagnostics but also autonomous driving.

Through full integration of latest IT technologies, automobiles can function like a high 

performance computers on wheels. Hyundai Motor’s vision of ‘Hyper-connected 

Intelligent Cars’ is to link automobiles not just with homes and offices of drivers but 

with the network of cities or regions it is located in.

Smart Remote Maintenance Service

Autonomous Driving

Smart Traffic 

Hyundai Motor plans to introduce four main service fields which include: 

Mobility Hub

Smart Remote Maintenance Service, Autonomous Driving, Smart Traffic, and Mobility 

Hub. In addition to continued R&D investment and recruitment of top talent, 

Hyundai Motor is actively pursuing open innovations through collaboration 

with global partners. Hyundai Motor plans to embark on a new era of 

connecting the ‘Car to Life’ with cars becoming the hub of infinite information.

BEYOND THE WORLD
FLUIDIC SCULPTURE 

PUSHING THE BOUNDARY OF 

AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN 

INNOVATIVE DESIGN WITH BEST 

ELEMENTS OF ART AND NATURE.

UNIQUE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY OF 
HYUNDAI MOTOR

‘Fluidic Sculpture’ is Hyundai Motor’s design philosophy which 

aspires to create advanced designs for automobiles. 

The design philosophy also guides us to create unique designs 

which stand out from the crowd as uniquely Hyundai Motor.

‘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 led to the creation 

of some outstanding artistic automobile designs. 

The smooth and dynamic design of Hyundai Motor’s vehicles 

has in turn given a unique design identity to Hyundai Motor. 

Hyundai Motor’s design identity is not a fixed concept but 

will continue to evolve in order to meet the ever increasing 

customer demands for greater design.

GLOBAL
ART PROJECTS

HYUNDAI MOTOR AS A PARTNER 

OF ARTISTS,

SUPPORTING THE FUTURE OF ART.

Hyundai Motor has signed an agreement with the National 

Gallery of Modern Art in Seoul and the Tate Museum of 

Modern Art in 2014. In 2015, it signed another long-term 

partnership agreement with the Los Angeles County Museum 

of Art.

The new agreement commits Hyundai Motor and the 

Los Angeles County Museum of Art to collaborate together on 

programs to explore new possibilities in art and technology. 

The commitment will last for the next 10 years until 2024.

In 2015, Hyundai Motor hosted a design exhibition on 

‘Fluidic Sculpture’ design philosophy titled ‘Sculpture in 

Motion’. Hosted at the Sejong Art Center, the most prestigious 

art center in South Korea, the exhibition was a great success 

with enthusiastic responses from visitors. 

EXPLORING NEW WAYS TO EXPLORE ART 

BRILLIANT PROJECT

Hyundai Motor launched ‘The Brilliant Art Project’ in 2013 with 

the goal to enable a greater number of people to experience 

art. In South Korea, we are working with local artists from 

different genres each year and creating various art works. 

Hyundai Motor also hosted exhibitions for people to share their 

best moments with their cars with the help of artists. 

Titled ‘Brilliant Memories Created Together’, the exhibition 

received positive reviews from visitors, helping them relive their 

fond memories.

Through the ‘Brilliant Music Project’, one of the longest music 

videos containing some vivid life stories from over 170,000 

people in 17 countries was produced. Hyundai Motor and global 

media group Bloomberg is preparing to launch a collaborative 

project ‘Brilliant Ideas’ TV series, which highlights the life of 

75 artists over at three year period.

Return to WRC 

Motorsports provide automobile manufacturers with 

New Generation Hyundai i20 WRC

opportunities to push technologies from powertrains to chassis.

Unlike F1 racing cars, WRC rally cars are built on a mass 

production car with an annual production volume higher than 

25,000 units. Hyundai Motor created the Hyundai i20 WRC 

using the i20 compact car as the basis in 2014. The Hyundai 

i20 WRC was the first racing car for the Hyundai WRC Team 

which returned to the WRC arena after a long absence and 

has since achieved many victories. In 2015, the Hyundai WRC 

Team placed 3rd or higher in 9 out of 13 races. Hyundai Motor 

ranked 3rd in the overall manufacturer’s standing in 2015. In 

2016, Hyundai Motor introduced the New Generation Hyundai 

i20 WRC which helped the Hyundai WRC Team rank 1st in the 

manufacturer’s standing. In the 4th race at Rally Argentina, 

Hyundai WRC Team drivers and manufacturers both placed 1st.

Hyundai i20 WRC first debuted at the 2012 

Paris Motor Show and has since been a car 

for the Hyundai WRC Team. After continued 

enhancements and evolutions, the New 

Generation Hyundai i20 WRC was born 

at the Hyundai Motorsport HQ in Alzenau. 

The New Generation Hyundai i20 WRC is 

powered by a 1,600 cc turbo charged engine 

with maximum power of 300 horsepower. 

It also has a 4WD drive and a special 

suspension system built for auto racing and for 

optimal performance on rally courses.

BEYOND THE DREAM
HIGH-PERFORMANCE 
‘N’ 

DRIVERS WILL EXPERIENCE THE 

THRILLS OF MOTORSPORT

WITH OUR PERFORMANCE-

ORIENTED ‘N’ MODELS 

BUILT WITH LATEST TECHNOLOGY.

ENABLING THE DRIVING 
EXPERIENCE OF MOTORSPORT

Hyundai Motor’s high-performance ‘N’ models are built using 

technologies and experience gained through its participation 

in WRC. The logo ‘N’ stands for Hyundai Motor’s Namyang 

Technology Research Center. Nürburgring is the world’s 

most challenging race track in Germany, used to hone N’s 

high-performance technologies. The track plays a crucial 

role in developing, testing and perfecting the performance 

characteristics that will be applied to future ‘N’ products. 

Hyundai Motor launched the high-performance brand ‘N’ at 

the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany, the birthplace 

of high-performance automobiles. So far, Hyundai Motor has 

concentrated on improving design, ride quality, performance and 

customer service. The ‘N’ will help drivers experience the thrills 

and emotions of motorsport for themselves, in performance-

THE POTENTIAL AND VISION OF ‘N’

N 2025 VISION GRAN TURISMO

Hyundai Motor introduced the N 2025 Vision Gran Turismo, 

showing the potential and vision of its high-performance ‘N’. 

The N 2025’s powertrain is based on a dual hydrogen fuel cell 

system with a total system output of 650 kw (884 ps). 

The super capacitor system generates an additional 150 kw 

(204 ps) by using energy regenerated when braking. 

The maximum combined power output is 884 ps. 

The compact, lightweight fuel cell stacks and flexible CFRP 

monocoque structure allow the car to tip the scales at 

a lean 972 kg. The system is also designed with a low center of 

gravity, making this a car that can be best enjoyed on 

a challenging racetrack, especially on the chicane.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE ‘N’ DEBUT MODELS

THE SIGNALING CONCEPT VEHICLE RM15

Hyundai Motor introduced the RM15 (Racing Midship 2015)

concept car at the 2015 Seoul Motor Show, firmly 

demonstrating its intention to develop high-performance 

models. Although the RM15 shares a similar exterior design 

with the ‘2014 Veloster RM’, it is equipped with 

high-performance components specifically for the RM15.  

More specifically, the RM15 is powered by a Theta 2.0-liter 

T-GDi which generates 300 ps and 39 kgf·m for zero to 

100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. It also boasts a lightweight design and 

one of the most aerodynamic bodies yet.

Hyundai Motor is committed to building on the successful 

development of the RM15 as it continues to build capacity for 

high-performance models.

THERE HAS BEEN A CLEAR 

PARADIGM SHIFT 

TOWARDS GREEN AUTOMOBILES.

MAKING THE WORLD 
GREENER

Hyundai Motor is making the transition 

towards a new automobile market with 

its ‘Blue Drive’ strategies. ‘Blue Drive’ is 

the name of Hyundai Motor’s low carbon 

green technology strategy, designed to 

reduce CO2 emissions. It is also a brand 

name for vehicles equipped with fuel-saving 

technologies.

Implementation of the ‘Blue Drive’ strategy 

began with Hyundai Motor’s development 

of the Sonata EV in 1991 and was quickly 

followed by the hybrid concept car in 1995. 

In 1998, the Hyundai Motor R&D team 

successfully developed its first hydrogen 

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV), laying the 

foundations for a diverse range of products.

In 2013, Hyundai Motor became the first 

automobile manufacturer to mass produce 

a hydrogen FCEV. We also became the 

first company to produce a Plug-in Hybrid 

Electric Vehicle (PHEV), the Sonata PHEV, 

which was unveiled at the Detroit Motor 

Show in January 2015. In 2016, Hyundai 

Motor launched its first dedicated green car 

IONIQ, further strengthening its presence 

in the global green car market. Hyundai 

Motor’s fuel cell powertrain for the ix35 

Fuel Cell (Tucson Fuel Cell) was one of 

the 2015 Wards 10 Best Engines, which 

was the first time that a fuel cell-based 

powertrain made it on to the list. In 2015, 

the Sonata PHEV was one of 2016 Wards 10 

Best Engines, giving Hyundai Motor special 

recognition for two consecutive years.

CEO’S MESSAGE

BUILDING COMPETITIVENESS TO BEGIN A NEW ERA 

FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Hyundai Motor will work hard to develop new 

technologies and products in order to further enhance 

the safety and convenience of our products and to 

enhance our future competitiveness. 

The global auto industry is experiencing ever accelerating changes, fueled by a volatile 

business environment, increasing competition and structural changes due to the 

introduction of cutting-edge technologies.

In such a time of change and uncertainty, it is crucial to build a unique set of strengths 

in order to overcome the challenges that lie ahead and to achieve sustained growth.

In addition to developing its capacity as a global automobile manufacturer by achieving 

qualitative growth, Hyundai Motor will continue to invest in R&D in order to become 

a leader in technological innovation.

The technological advancements will not only allow Hyundai Motor to meet the safety and 

environmental regulations but allow us to begin a new era for the automotive industry. 

We will develop more green cars such as hybrids, electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells. 

Likewise, we are committed to the development of autonomous driving technologies 

in order to further enhance the safety and convenience of our drivers. 

Hyundai Motor will continue to strengthen its market presence and to build on its 

reputation as an industry leader. In 2016, we are aiming to achieve global sales of 

five million units, for the first time in the history of Hyundai Motor and, firmly establish 

our position in the global market. In addition to the development of products for the 

future, the on-going effort to improve our customer’s experience in sales and services 

will strengthen Hyundai Motor’s appeal as a brand. 

A concentrated effort will be made to quickly establish Genesis as a competitive luxury 

brand by providing unique merits which distinguish Genesis from other brands. Genesis 

will become a brand that represents ‘Human-centered Luxury’ and cutting-edge 

technologies. By 2020, Genesis will have a full lineup of products, consisting of six models, 

which will all become class leading models.

We will continue to strive to maintain our leadership in product quality. We will further 

strengthen the quality verification system at R&D and preproduction processes and 

improve the manufacturing system by working with the labor union. Collaboration among 

R&D centers, sales offices and dealerships will be strengthened in order to improve our 

global production-sales operations.

As we pursue our goals, we will continue to fulfill our responsibilities as a global corporate 

citizen. We will continue to expand the scope of our global CSR activities and strive to 

achieve win-win growth with our suppliers in order to tackle the challenges that arise and 

to make the world a better place for all.

HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY Annual Report 2015 
CEO’S MESSAGE

All of our achievements were made possible due to the continued support of our 

shareholders. We will strive to make 2016 a great year with better business results and even 

WE ARE COMMITTED TO EVOLVING INTO A TRUE LEADER OF 

THE GLOBAL AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

In 2015, the global economy continued to remain sluggish. The automotive industry showed 

slow growth except in a few advanced markets. In particular, economic recession continued 

in Russia and Brazil. The Chinese market which led the growth in the automotive market 

slowed down significantly. Amid this situation, Japanese and European manufacturers are 

intensifying competition with low prices in part helped by weak exchange rates. 

Local Chinese manufacturers are expanding market share with low cost models. At home in 

Korea, competition is getting fierce from foreign automakers. 

Despite the challenging market environment surrounding the automotive industry, Hyundai 

Motor attained number of significant achievements. First, we ranked at the top in the JD 

Power 2015 Initial Quality Study (IQS) in the U.S., China and India, reaffirming our reputation 

for high product quality. In 2014, our fuel cell system was selected as one of the 2015 

Wards 10 Best Engines. In 2015, the new Sonata Plug-in Hybrid made it into the 2016 Wards 

10 Best Engines, proving Hyundai Motor’s leadership in clean powertrain technology.

Moreover, Genesis was awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top 

Safety Pick+ rating, as one of the safest cars in the world. In Germany, the home of 

luxury auto brands, Genesis placed first in terms of market share among imported cars, 

demonstrating its high quality and competitiveness among European customers. 

greater achievements.

Dear shareholders,

This year is expected to be another sluggish year for the economy with a potential U.S. 

interest rate hike, further slowing of the Chinese economy and low oil prices. Automobile 

demand in emerging markets including many Middle East and Asian countries, Brazil and 

Russia are expected to fall as well.

However, Hyundai Motor is committed to overcoming these challenges and reaching a new 

milestone of five million units in sales. Likewise, we will further strengthen our foundation 

for sustained growth by responding to ever changing trends in the automobile market.

With the following strategies, we plan to achieve our 2016 goals. 

First, we will focus on successfully establishing our new luxury brand Genesis in key 

markets including Korea. Our Genesis brand models are built to surpass even the quality 

of European luxury brands and offer great customer service, providing human-centered 

luxury, which the Genesis brand promises to deliver. 

Second, we will lead the green car market, starting with our eco-friendly dedicated model 

IONIQ. Launched in January of this year, IONIQ is built on an innovative versatile platform 

and can be configured as a hybrid, plug-in or electric vehicle. IONIQ has fuel efficiency and 

performance that surpasses that of all leading competitor models. Going forward, we will 

further strengthen R&D to develop top quality green cars.

HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY Annual Report 2015GREEN MOVE : FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATURE AND 

TACKLING CLIMATE CHANGE

Hyundai Motor started its second ‘Hyundai Green Zone’ 

project in China to help reverse desertification in 2008. 

The project succeeded in transforming 50 million m2 of inner 

Mongolia’s Kunshantag Desert into green land. As a result of 

this project, Hyundai Motor has been selected as ‘The Most 

Responsible Company in China’ for six consecutive years 

since 2010.

The second project will be in the northern part of China, in the 

Zhenglan Qi district, covering 40 million m2 of land, and will run 

for five years starting in 2018. 

To reduce roadkill and thereby the number of resultant traffic 

accidents, Hyundai Motor supported the establishment of 

Korea’s first roadkill prevention association. Hyundai Motor is 

also contributing to other environmental protection programs 

such as the restoration and preservation of the Taehwa River, 

the habitat of the tailed silk butterfly.

We will continue to launch a number of new programs to help 

protect the environment and tackle climate change.

HAPPY MOVE : 

HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS WITH CARE

Hyundai Motor organized 134 volunteer groups through-

out its operation sites and is providing volunteer services in 

partnership with 168 welfare centers. In 2015, a total of 9,000 

employees participated in volunteer services helping under-

privileged people, especially before traditional holidays and 

during the end of year holiday season.

A total of 70 volunteer groups lent their support to nearby 

farming towns, during the busy seasons in spring and autumn.

We are also supporting the ‘H-Family Volunteer’ program 

which is a weekend volunteer program for Hyundai Motor’s 

employees’ family members and the ‘H-Family Workcamp’ 

which is similar to the ‘H-Family Volunteer’ but with inter-

national university students. There is also the ‘H-Volunteer 

Designer’ program which provides grants to employees who 

design an original program.

The ‘Happy Move Global Youth Volunteer’s Corps’ is a 

program which started in 2008 and is actively engaged in com-

munity services in China, India and Vietnam. More than 7,510 

volunteers have visited 20 countries over the last eight years.

We plan to invite Hyundai Motor customers to participate in 

our ‘Happy Move’ programs in the future.

DREAM MOVE : PROVIDING CAREER GUIDANCE AND 

NURTURING SOCIAL INNOVATORS

‘Looking for Three-Leaf Clovers’ is a program created to 

provide one-to-one mentoring from college students to 

children who have suffered a loss as a result of a traffic 

accident. The program began as the ‘Make-a-wish’ program 

in 2005 before it changed into the current program in 2013. 

Nearly 1,400 young children have received support over the 

past ten years. In 2015, the mentoring program doubled in 

size providing opportunities for 80 mentors to meet with 80 

mentees once a month. Funding support was also provided to 

allow young students to explore topics they were interested in. 

Hyundai Motor’s employees also participated in the program 

as mentors. In 2016, we signed a partnership agreement with 

leading companies and institutions to provide more hands-on 

experience for participants. 

In 2015, Hyundai Motor also launched a new initiative ‘H-Social 

Creator’ which aims to cultivate young social innovators. The 

program selected 20 college students and provided them with 

an in-depth regular workshop on Creating Shared Value (CSV) 

over six months. Participants discussions covered a wide variety 

of issues including our aging society, pollution, urbanization, 

slow economic growth and brainstormed ideas.

NEXT MOVE : CREATING A BETTER FUTURE WITH 

TECHNOLOGIES AND SERVICES

‘Next Move’ CSR programs aim to create benefits for society 

and the company by utilizing Hyundai Motor’s expertise 

and service infrastructure. Most recently, Hyundai Motor 

celebrated the opening of the ‘Hyundai-KOICA Dream Center’ 

at the Hanoi Industrial Vocational College in Vietnam. The 

center is a vocational school jointly established with the 

Hyundai Motor Group, Hyundai E&C, the Korea International 

Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and Plan International to train 

students, in Vietnam, in automobile repair and construction 

and then to help them get jobs. Following the openings of 

centers in Ghana, Indonesia and Cambodia, this is the fourth 

Dream Center. The new center is the first center created 

in partnership with a non-automotive company within the 

Hyundai Motor Group.

Hyundai Motor handed over the first bobsleigh built by its 

in-house engineers to the national bobsleigh team of South 

Korea. Hyundai Motor built a brand new bobsleigh for the 

team to help them with the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics. 

Hyundai Motor’s engineers worked with the Korean national 

bobsleigh team to develop bobsleighs tailored to the individual 

athletes. New advanced engineering methods were developed 

and technologies used in advanced automobile development 

were applied to develop this bobsleigh.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

English Translation of Independent Auditors’ Report Originally Issued in Korean on February 25, 2016

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 sub-

sidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, re-

spectively, and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements 

of cash flows, all expressed 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.

Auditors’ Responsibility
Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  audit  opinion  on  these  financial  statements  based  on  our  audit.  We  conducted  our  audits  in 

accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing (“KSAs”). 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 mis-

statement, 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 entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are 

appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal 

control. 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 Compa-

ny and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and its financial performance and its cash 

flows for the years then ended in accordance with K-IFRS.

occurred between the auditors’ report date and the time the auditors’ report is read. Such events or circumstances could signifi-

(*1) Each of the joint arrangements in which the Group retains joint control is structured through a separate entity and there are no contractual terms stating that the parties 

retain rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the joint arrangement or other relevant facts and circumstances. As a result, the Group considers that 

the parties that retain joint control in the arrangement have rights to the net assets and classifies the joint arrangements as joint ventures. Also, there are restrictions which 

require consent from the director who is designated by the other investors, for certain transactions such as payment of dividend.

(*2) As the Group is considered to be able to exercise significant influence by representation on the board of directors of the investee and other reasons, although the total 

ownership percentage is less than 20%, the investment is accounted for using the equity method.

(*3) As of December 31, 2015, the entity is categorized as a joint venture although the Group’s total ownership percentage is a majority share of 53%, because the Group does 

not have control over the entity by virtue of an agreement with the other investors.

(*4) As of December 31, 2015, the investment is accounted for using the equity method as the ownership percentage is more than 20% due to the acquisition of shares through 

a contribution in kind.

(*5) As of December 31, 2015, the investment is classified as AFS financial assets since the entity was merged into Hyundai Steel Company.

(3) Fair value estimation

The Group categorizes the assets and liabilities measured at fair value into the following three-level fair value hierarchy in ac-

cordance with the inputs used for fair value measurement.

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

₩ 80,274,979

liabilities.

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

servable 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).

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

May 4, 2004, respectively. Due to these stock retirements, the total face value of outstanding stock differs from the capital stock 

observable market data.

- Unlisted equity securities

  Fair value of unlisted equity securities is measured using discounted cash flow projection and others, and certain assumptions 

not  based  on  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 discount rate used to dis-

count the future cash flows, is calculated by applying the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), 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 hierar-

chy.
