On a sequential basis, 2Q 2010 Operating Revenue increased 1.0% to 9,432,144 million KRW. However, Operating Income declined 30.0% to 769,700 million KRW, and Net Income fell 24.5% to 588,550 million KRW.
Subsidiary Performance (1H 2010)

Material Changes
The most significant material change is the divergence between revenue and profitability. While consolidated Operating Revenue dropped 42.1% year-over-year, Net Income more than doubled, increasing 145.2%. This trend is driven primarily by Shinhan Bank, which saw a 51.0% revenue decline but a 251.4% increase in net income. Conversely, Shinhan Card demonstrated growth in both revenue and income.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future outlook, or specific discussion of risks and contingencies. The only noted contingency is that the financial figures are unaudited and subject to change during the external audit process.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the unaudited nature of the figures and potential adjustments upon final audit.
- Investigate the specific drivers behind the 42.1% revenue decline versus the 145.2% net income increase (e.g., asset write-downs in prior periods, cost reductions, or non-recurring gains).
- Confirm the composition of the revenue drop at Shinhan Bank to understand if it stems from interest rate spreads or trading income volatility.
- Review the full IR presentation materials referenced in the filing for detailed segment analysis not included in this summary.
