Report on Review of Condensed Separate Interim Financial Statements

(English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean)

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

KB Financial Group Inc.

Reviewed Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of KB Financial Group Inc. (the "Company"). These condensed separate interim financial statements consist of the separate interim statement of financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023 and the related separate interim statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, and material accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, expressed in Korean Won.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed separate interim financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea ("Korean IFRS") No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of condensed separate interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to issue a report on these condensed separate interim financial statements based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with quarterly or semi-annual review standards 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 review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean IFRS 1034 Interim Financial Reporting.

Other Matters

The separate interim statements of comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2022, presented herein for comparative purposes, were reviewed by another auditor who expressed their review conclusion that nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe the condensed separate interim financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean IFRS No. 1034 Interim Financial Reporting on November 14, 2022.

The separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022, and the separate statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, not presented herein, were audited by another auditor who expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements on March 7, 2023. The separate statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022, presented herein for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the above audited statement of

2. Basis of Preparation

2.1 Application of Korean IFRS

The Company maintains its accounting records in Korean won and prepares statutory financial statements in the Korean language in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea ("Korean IFRS"). The accompanying separate financial statements have been translated into English from the Korean language separate financial statements.

The separate financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Korean IFRS. Korean IFRS are the standards and related interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") that have been adopted by the Republic of Korea.

The preparation of separate financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. Management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas that require a more complex and higher level of judgment or areas that require significant assumptions and estimations are disclosed in Note 2.4.

The separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean IFRS No.1027 Separate Financial Statements.

The Company's condensed separate interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, have been prepared in accordance with Korean IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting and contain less information than is required in annual separate financial statements. Selected explanatory notes include descriptions of transactions or events that are significant in understanding change in financial position and financial performance of the Company since the end of the previous annual reporting period. These condensed separate interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Korean IFRS which is effective or early adopted as of September 30, 2023.

2.1.1 The Company has applied the following new and amended standards for the first time for its annual reporting period commencing January 1, 2023.

- Issuance of Korean IFRS No.1117 Insurance Contracts

Korean IFRS No.1117 Insurance Contracts replaced Korean IFRS No.1104 Insurance Contracts. This standard requires an entity to estimate future cash flows of an insurance contract and measure insurance liabilities using discount rates applied with assumptions and risks at the measurement date and recognize insurance revenue on an accrual basis including services (insurance coverage) provided to the policyholder by each annual reporting period. In addition, investment components (refunds due to termination and maturity) repaid to a policyholder even if an insured event does not occur, are excluded from insurance revenue. These amendments do not have a significant impact on the financial statements.

- Amendments to Korean IFRS No.1001 Presentation of Financial Statements - Accounting Policy Disclosure

The amendments require an entity to define and disclose their material accounting policy information. IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements was amended to explain and demonstrate how to apply the concept of materiality. These amendments do not have a significant impact on the financial statements.
