Plant business is the construction of integrated steel mills, EPC projects and industrial plants. Plant business used to focus on small investment of existing facilities but there will be more new investments in Electric furnace and hydrogen reduction process followed by global green trend. As nuclear power generation is getting attention again, the development of small nuclear power plants is expected to become active.
The civil engineering business is about constructing expressways, railroads and bridges. According to the governments policy to strengthen regional competitiveness, the construction of regional hubs such as Gadeokdo New Airport, Daegu Gyeongbuk New Airport, and Jeju 2nd Airport will begin, and the road network expansion project such as the Seoul Metropolitan Railway (GTX) will continue to connect major metropolitan areas. It is expected that more favorable overseas construction market would be created for the domestic construction companies as demand of infrastructure development is increasing in Asia, Middle East, Americas as well as in Europe.
Housing demand is shrinking after a sharp rate hike, and number of unsold households are increasing around areas where supply has been concentrated. Recently, concerns have been growing that new orders will shrink as funding has been suspended due to the financial market crunch. Housing market conditions rapidly deteriorated due to sudden interest rate increases, rising construction costs, and a slump in the construction PF market.

As the only domestic producer of graphite-based anode materials, which are considered to have the highest degree of difficulty in achieving independence from Chinese imports, POSCO Future M is expected to expand its sales revenues in working with global automakers and battery producers.
In specific, POSCO Future M established a joint venture (Ulium CAM) with GM in August 2022 to begin construction of high nickel cathode plant in Canada with a production capacity of a 30 thousand ton per year.
It is planned to be completed in the second half of 2024 and to start production in the first half of 2025. In addition, for lithium, which is a raw material for anode materials, POSCO HOLDINGS (the largest shareholder of POSCO Future M) plans to establish a 71 thousand tons production system in 2024 through investment in Argentine salt lakes and Australian mines and expand its production capacity to 423 thousand tons by 2030.
Considering POSCO Future Ms cathode material production capacity and lithium input amount, lithium self-sufficiency rate is expected to exceed 100% by 2030. In addition, POSCO HOLDINGS plans to establish a 240 thousand ton nickel production system by 2030 by expanding its investment in securing nickel through mining, smelting and recycling.

Independent Auditors Review Report
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
POSCO HOLDINGS INC.:
Reviewed financial statements
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of POSCO HOLDINGS INC. and its subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of September 30, 2023, the condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the condensed consolidated interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and notes, comprising a summary of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
Managements responsibility
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standard (K-IFRS) No. 1034 Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors review responsibility
Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed consolidated interim financial statements based on our reviews.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034 Interim Financial Reporting.
Other matters
The consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and our report thereon, dated March 9, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us from which it was derived in all material respects.
The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such condensed consolidated interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.
Seoul, Korea
November 14, 2023

Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the review report should understand that the above review report has not been updated to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

2. Statement of Compliance
Statement of compliance
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standards (K-IFRS), as prescribed in the Act on External Audit of Stock Companies, etc. in the Republic of Korea.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034 Interim Financial Reporting as part of the period covered by the Companys K-IFRS annual financial statements. Selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Company since the last annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required for full annual financial statements.
Use of estimates and judgments
(a) | Judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties |
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with K-IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period prospectively.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Companys accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.
(b) | Measurement of fair value |
The Companys accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the financial officer.
The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of K-IFRS including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuation techniques should be classified.
Significant valuation issues are reported to the Companys Audit Committee.
11
POSCO HOLDINGS INC. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, Continued
As of September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
| Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. |
| Level 3 - inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data. |
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policy Information
Except as described in K-IFRS No. 1034 Interim Financial Reporting and below, the accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Changes in accounting policies
Except for the standards and amendments applied for the first time for the reporting period beginning on January 1, 2023 described below, the accounting policies applied by the Company in these financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
(a) | K-IFRS No. 1012 Income Tax Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction |
From January 1, 2023, the Company has applied the amendments related to deferred tax arising from assets and liabilities in a single transaction under K-IFRS No. 1012 Income Tax. The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption to exclude transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. The Company recognized deferred tax assets for lease liabilities and deferred tax liabilities for right-of-use assets, respectively, and there is no impact on the statement of financial position as the requirements for offsetting are met in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1012 Income Tax.

(b) | K-IFRS No. 1001 Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure of Accounting Policies |
Material accounting policy information is defined as information that is expected to influence the decision-making of primary users of financial statements considering with other information included in the financial statements, and is required to be disclosed. The Company plans to disclose material accounting policies in the annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2023.
(c) | K-IFRS No. 1008 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors Definition of Accounting Estimates |
For accounting estimates defined as monetary amounts in the financial statements, a change in measurement methods or inputs are clarified as changes in accounting estimates unless they result from the correction of prior period errors. The amendment is applied prospectively to the changes in accounting estimates that occur after the effective date. The amendments did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023 and earlier application is permitted but the Company has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these financial statements.
(a) | K-IFRS No. 1001 Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current |
The amendment clarifies that the classification of current and non-current liabilities is determined by the right to defer settlement of the liability for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, and in order for the debtor to have the right to defer settlement of the liability, the condition of complying with the contract must be met at the end of the reporting period. In addition, the classification of liabilities is not affected by the possibility of exercising the right to defer settlement of the liability for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, and the amendment clarifies that settlement of a liability includes transferring a companys own equity instruments to the counterparty. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect the effect of the amendments to the financial statements to be significant.

(b) | K-IFRS No. 1012 Income Tax Global Minimum Top Up Tax |
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 12 Income Tax on May 23, 2023 that provided a temporary mandatory exception from accounting for deferred tax arising from legislation implementing the Pillar Two taxes and new disclosure requirements in the annual financial statements. The Korea Accounting Standards Board (KASB) is currently preparing an amendment to K-IFRS No. 1012 Income Tax. In 2022, the corporate income tax law in the Republic of Korea was amended to reflect the global minimum top-up tax of the Pillar Two Model Rules and will be effective for fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2024. However, as of September 30, 2023, the enforcement decree of the related law has not yet been enacted. Therefore, it is determined that the related law has not been substantively enacted due to the insufficient legislation to calculate the global minimum top-up tax.
The Company is closely monitoring developments related to the implementation of the international tax reforms introducing the global minimum top-up tax. However, since none of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates has enacted or substantively enacted the tax legislation related to the top-up tax at the date when the accompanying interim financial statements were authorized for issue, there is no impact on the Companys condensed interim financial statements. In light of the exception from the deferred tax accounting, the Companys management is focusing its assessment on the potential current tax impacts of the top-up tax. Once changes to the tax laws in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates are enacted or substantively enacted, the Company may be subject to the top-up tax.

(d) | During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the total contract revenues and the estimated total contract costs have changed. The impact of these changes on profit before income tax for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 and the future periods are as follows: |

The effect on current and future profit is calculated based on the total estimated contract costs based on situations that occurred from the commencement date of the contract to September 30, 2023 and the total contract revenue as of September 30, 2023.
(e) | Uncertainty of estimates |
1) | Total contract revenues |
Total contract revenues are initially measured based on contractual amount agreed upon. However, the actual contract revenues may increase due to additional work, claims and incentive payments, or decrease due to penalties in case of delayed completion caused by the Companys fault. Therefore, the measurement of contract revenues is subject to uncertainty resulting from the possibility of future events.
2) | Total contract costs |
Contract revenues are recognized based on the percentage-of-completion method, which is determined based on the total amount of costs incurred to date. The total contract costs are estimated based on projections of future costs, including material costs, labor costs, outsourcing costs, among other factors. There is uncertainty associated with estimating future contract costs due to a variety of internal and external factors, including market fluctuations, risks associated with business partners and past experience of project performance, among others. The significant assumptions including uncertainty of the estimate of total contract costs are as follows:
Method of significant assumption | ||
Material cost | Assumption based on recent purchasing price and quoted market price | |
Labor cost | Assumption based on standard monthly and daily labor cost | |
Outsourcing cost | Assumption based on the past experience rate of similar project and market price |
Management reviews the assumptions used in estimated contract costs at each reporting period end and adjusts them, if necessary.

Independent Auditors Review Report
Based on a report originally issued in Korean
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
POSCO HOLDINGS INC.:
Reviewed financial statements
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of POSCO HOLDINGS INC. (the Company), which comprise the condensed separate interim statement of financial position as of September 30, 2023, the condensed separate interim statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the condensed separate interim statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and notes, comprising a summary of material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
Managements responsibility
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with Korean International Financial Reporting Standard (K-IFRS) No. 1034 Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors review responsibility
Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed separate interim financial statements based on our reviews.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Review Standards for Quarterly and Semiannual Financial Statements established by the Securities and Futures Commission of the Republic of Korea. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements referred to above are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with K-IFRS No. 1034 Interim Financial Reporting.
Other matters
The separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the related separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, which are not accompanying this report, were audited by us in accordance with Korean Standards on Auditing and our report thereon, dated March 9, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion. The accompanying condensed separate statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, presented for comparative purposes, is not different from that audited by us from which it was derived in all material respects.
The procedures and practices utilized in the Republic of Korea to review such condensed separate interim financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries.
Seoul, Korea
November 14, 2023
This report is effective as of November 14, 2023, the review report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the review report should understand that the above review report has not been updated to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any. |

Use of estimates and judgments
(a) | Judgments, assumptions and estimation uncertainties |
The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements in conformity with K-IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period prospectively.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Companys accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.
(b) | Measurement of fair value |
The Companys accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the financial officer.
The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of K-IFRS including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuation techniques should be classified.
Significant valuation issues are reported to the Companys Audit Committee.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.
10
POSCO HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to the Condensed Separate Interim Financial Statements, Continued
As of September 30, 2023
(Unaudited)
| Level 1 unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. |
| Level 3 inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data. |
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
3. Summary of Material Accounting Policy Information
Except as described in K-IFRS No. 1034 Interim Financial Reporting and below, the accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed separate interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its separate financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Changes in Accounting Policies
Except for the standards and amendments applied for the first time for the reporting period beginning on January 1, 2023 described below, the accounting policies applied by the Company in these financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.
(a) | K-IFRS No. 1012 Income Tax Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction |
From January 1, 2023, the Company has applied the amendments related to deferred tax arising from assets and liabilities in a single transaction under K-IFRS No. 1012 Income Tax. The amendments narrow the scope of the initial recognition exemption to exclude transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. The amendment does not any impact on the statement of financial position.

(b) | K-IFRS No. 1001 Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure of Accounting Policies |
Material accounting policy information is defined as information that is expected to influence the decision-making of primary users of financial statements considering with other information included in the financial statements, and is required to be disclosed. The Company plans to disclose material accounting policies in the annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2023.
(c) | K-IFRS No. 1008 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors Definition of Accounting Estimates |
For accounting estimates defined as monetary amounts in the financial statements, a change in measurement methods or inputs are clarified as changes in accounting estimates unless they result from the correction of prior period errors. The amendment is applied prospectively to the changes in accounting estimates that occur after the effective date. The amendments did not have any impact on the financial statements.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023 and earlier application is permitted but the Company has not early adopted the new or amended standards in preparing these financial statements.
(a) | K-IFRS No. 1001 Presentation of Financial Statements Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current |
The amendment clarifies that the classification of current and non-current liabilities is determined by the right to defer settlement of the liability for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, and in order for the debtor to have the right to defer settlement of the liability, the condition of complying with the contract must be met at the end of the reporting period. In addition, the classification of liabilities is not affected by the possibility of exercising the right to defer settlement of the liability for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, and the amendment clarifies that settlement of a liability includes transferring a companys own equity instruments to the counterparty. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect the effect of the amendments to the financial statements to be significant.

(b) | K-IFRS No. 1012 Income Tax Global Minimum Top-Up Tax |
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued amendments to IAS 12 Income Tax on May 23, 2023 that provided a temporary mandatory exception from accounting for deferred tax arising from legislation implementing the Pillar Two taxes and new disclosure requirements in the annual financial statements. The Korea Accounting Standards Board (KASB) is currently preparing an amendment to K-IFRS No. 1012 Income Tax. In 2022, the corporate income tax law in the Republic of Korea was amended to reflect the global minimum top-up tax of the Pillar Two Model Rules and will be effective for fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2024. However, as of September 30, 2023, the enforcement decree of the related law has not yet been enacted. Therefore, it is determined that the related law has not been substantively enacted due to the insufficient legislation to calculate the global minimum top-up tax.
The Company is closely monitoring developments related to the implementation of the international tax reforms introducing the global minimum top-up tax. However, since none of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates has enacted or substantively enacted the tax legislation related to the top-up tax at the date when the accompanying interim financial statements were authorized for issue, there is no impact on the Companys condensed interim financial statements. In light of the exception from the deferred tax accounting, the Companys management is focusing its assessment on the potential current tax impacts of the top-up tax. Once changes to the tax laws in Republic of Korea in which the Company operates are substantively enacted, the Company may be subject to the top-up tax.

27. Income taxes
The effective tax rates of the Company for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were 0% and 206.67%, respectively.
The Companys vertical spin-off during the year ended December 31, 2022 meets the requirements for qualified
spin-off under the Corporate Tax Act. Accordingly, transfer gains of W8,452,339 million under the Corporate Tax Act were incurred for the net asset transferred to the
newly established company (POSCO), and the Company simultaneously set a Corporate Tax Act based provision for accelerated depreciation on the transfer gains and recognized deferred tax liabilities of
2,284,103 million. W
Deductible temporary differences related to the investment in newly established company
(POSCO) which is caused by transfer gains under the Corporate Tax Act were not recognized as deferred tax assets, since it is not probable they will reverse through disposal or liquidation. The effect of our estimation and accounting for the
recoverability of temporary differences on the increase in corporate tax costs for the year ended December 31, 2022 is 2,284,103 million. W
