The Company applies the simplified approach to recognize expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for receivables. Contract assets will be reclassified to trade receivables when the corresponding invoice is billed to the client. Contract assets have substantially the same risk characteristics as the trade receivables of the same types of contracts. Therefore, the Company concluded that the expected loss rates for trade receivables can be applied to the contract assets.

Revenue recognized for the year that was included in the contract liability at the beginning of the year was as follows:

The Company considered the past experience and the default clauses in the telecommunications service contracts and believes the commissions and equipment subsidies paid for obtaining such contracts are expected to be recoverable; therefore, such costs were capitalized. The Company also believes the commissions paid for obtaining real estate sale contracts are expected to be recoverable; therefore, such costs were capitalized and classified as current by the operating cycle. Amortization expenses for the

years ended December 31 2022, 2023 and 2024 were $841 million, $856 million and $906 million, respectively.

d.

As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations for non-cancellable telecommunications service contracts that are unsatisfied is $41,020 million.

The Company expects to recognize such revenue of $24,078 million, $12,627 million and $4,315 million in 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively. The variable consideration collected from customers on nonrecurring basis resulting from exceeded usage from monthly fee and revenue recognized for contracts that the Company has a right to consideration from customers in the amount corresponding directly with the value to the customers of the Company’s performance completed to date have been excluded from the disclosure of remaining performance obligations.

As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations for non-cancellable project business contracts that are unsatisfied is $34,104 million. The Company recognizes revenues when the project business contract is completed and accepted by customers. The Company expects to recognize such revenue of $12,617 million, $10,413 million and $11,074 million in 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively. Project business contracts whose expected duration are less than a year have been excluded from the aforementioned disclosure.
