IFRS treatment &amp; consolidated sales breakdownI guess this is where the confusion comes from. For this, we need to know how the IFRS treats consolidated and de-consolidated sales.In IFRS accounting standards, consolidated sales include sales of subsidiaries. In the case of affiliated companies, only gains and losses are accounted for as equity method gains and losses. Here are the general rules of determining whether a subsidiary or an affiliate.
+50% stake: subsidiary
+30% stake AND the largest shareholder: subsidiary
20~50% stake: affiliate
Here is the FY2020 consolidated sales breakdown of pre-spinoff SKT. We have a de-consolidated sales of ₩11.75T, supposedly from SKT's MNO business. We then have an additional ₩6.88T sales from the subsidiaries. The affiliates, including SK Hynix, are reflected in the equity method income.

SKT Investment is a pure holding company having zero operating operation. How come does it have ₩0.17T worth of de-consolidated sales?SKT explains this in the filing. As stated below, SKT Investment now recognizes dividend income, which was previously recognized as non-operating income before the spinoff, as sales in its de-consolidated (separate) financial statements.So, the sum of both companies' consolidated sales would be a little more than ₩18.62T, by a difference of ₩0.17T.My estimation is post-spinoff SKT will be around ₩16T (mainly due to the presence of SK Broadband), and SKT Investment's consolidated sales for FY2020 should be slightly less than ₩3T.

I talked to the SKT IR team this morning, and they confirmed that they would keep the same dividend amount as last year's ₩715.1B, meaning that we should expect a substantial increase in DPS from last year's ₩10,000.
