Key Takeaways
- Bank NIM has been trending up as higher market rates push up asset yields while corporate customers support a low-cost funding base, with management guiding for continued NIM expansion.
- Woori plans to lift the non-bank profit contribution to 20% in 2026E and 30%+ in the medium-to-long term, up from just 10% in 2025A, through growing brokerage operations and insurance.
- The group is pursuing conversion of Tong Yang Life into a wholly-owned subsidiary, with a new accounting firm being appointed to re-evaluate the stock swap ratio in line with Commercial Code guidelines.
- CET1 ratio reached 13.6% in 1Q26 (13.0% adjusted), and management believes it is on track to keep the ratio well above 13%, potentially enabling a fresh buyback in 2H26E.
- KRW weakness remains a headwind but FX sensitivity has been lowered to 1bp per KRW10 movement from 2bp previously, given reduced FRN exposure.
- Capital relief from operational risk weight changes (shortening loss observation window from 10Y to 3Y) could provide approximately 10bp positive impact on the CET1 ratio.
