Description of calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amounts of BC Card Co., Ltd. are calculated based on value-in use calculations. These calculations use discounted cash flow projections for the next five years based on financial budgets. A terminal growth rate of 0.0% was applied for the cash flows expected to be incurred after five years. This growth rate does not exceed the average growth rate of the industry which the cash-generating unit belongs in. The Group estimated its revenue growth rate 0.04% based on past performance and its expectation of future market changes. In addition, management estimated the cash flow based on past performance and its expectation of market growth, and the discount rates 5.22% used reflected specific risks relating to the relevant CGU. As a result of the impairment test, the Group concluded that the carrying amount of CGU does not exceed the recoverable amount. Accordingly, the Group did not recognize an impairment loss on goodwill on BC Card Co., Ltd. for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
