Good morning and good evening. Thank you all for joining the conference call for the earnings result of SK Telecom. This conference will start with a presentation followed by a Q&A session. If you have a question, please press star and one on your phone during the Q&A. Now, we will begin the presentation on SK Telecom's third quarter earnings result of the fiscal year 2024. [Foreign language]. Good afternoon. I am Hee Jun Chung, IRO of SK Telecom. Thank you for joining SK Telecom's earnings conference call. [Foreign language]. Today, we will first deliver a presentation on major events, 2024 Q3 earnings highlights, and business performances, which will be followed by the Q&A session. [Foreign language]. The call is attended by our executives from relevant business divisions, including Yang Seob Kim, CFO of SK Telecom, and we are providing consecutive interpretation for the call. [Foreign language]. I would like to remind you that all forward-looking statements are subject to change depending on various factors such as market and macro situations. [Foreign language]. Let me now present our CFO. [Foreign language]. Good afternoon. This is Yang Seob Kim, CFO of SK Telecom. [Foreign language]. After the spin-off in November 2021, SK Telecom announced a new vision to focus solely on telecommunications and AI. For the past three years, the company has established an AI Pyramid Strategy, mobilized enterprise-wide capabilities to become a global AI company, and pursued a number of partnerships and investments. As the recently announced Corporate Value-up Plan illustrates, SK Telecom will now show you specific ways to make money using AI. [Foreign language]. There are three main ways to generate profit with AI that SK Telecom is pursuing. [Foreign language]. First is AI data centers. In the DC market, demand triggered by AI continues to exceed supply. We have extensive DC operational experience, AI solutions secured together with domestic and global partners, and nationwide base stations that can be utilized as AI infrastructure. SK Telecom aims to become a leader in the global AI data center market. [Foreign language]. Second is AI B2B. Enterprise business is expected to see rapid market expansion in the AI era. We will actively utilize generative AI foundational models secured through in-house effort and external partnerships and mobilize B2B capabilities available within the group to identify grand use cases and win contracts. [Foreign language]. Third is AI B2C. The B2C service market has been led by platform companies based on advertisement business models. However, advertising revenue is not sufficient to cover the cost of building infrastructure needed to provide AI services that are becoming popular recently. As such, subscription business models are gaining attention. Given this trend, new opportunities will be opening up for telcos that already have subscription business models. SK Telecom has already established a strong subscription model with T Universe, and we ask for your support and interest in how we will advance our A. and global personal AI agent services. [Foreign language]. Let me now report on the consolidated financial results for Q3 2024. [Foreign language]. Consolidated revenue reported KRW 4,532.1 billion, up 2.9% year-over-year, driven by the stable growth of roaming and B2B solution business. Operating income posted KRW 533.3 billion, up 7.1% year-over-year, thanks to the stabilization of costs such as marketing and depreciation. The positive results show the impact of strengthening business fundamentals through operational improvement and enhancing efficiency with a company-wide adoption of AI. Net income posted KRW 280.2 billion. [Foreign language]. On a non-consolidated basis, revenue posted KRW 3,203.2 billion, up 1.7% YOY. Operating income and net income reported KRW 457 billion and KRW 222.4 billion, respectively. [Foreign language]. Let me now turn to business highlights for Q3 2024 and strategic directions. [Foreign language]. First, data center revenue grew 14% year-over-year thanks to higher utilization of data centers. In terms of AI monetization, AI DC is the business that can expect the most short-term results. We aim to be a leader in both the Korean and global DC market by applying immersion cooling technology of SK Group for energy efficiency, supplying GPU power of Lambda effectively, and employing AI data center solutions of Penguin Solutions. [Foreign language]. As we announced at the AI Summit this week, we will establish the AI Infrastructure Superhighway to evolve it as core infrastructure that will accelerate the development of Korea's AI ecosystem. The Superhighway will enable nationwide connections through edge AI based on AI data centers as regional hubs and GPU as a service in the Seoul metropolitan region. [Foreign language]. We are currently developing the Telco-specific LLM together with the members of the Global Telco AI Alliance. We aim to launch it commercially in the first half of next year and we're in the process of establishing a global AI joint venture for the LLM service. We plan to first apply the Telco-specific LLM to our own customer services through customer contact centers and T World to assess its performance and effect. [Foreign language]. Next, regarding AI services, we implemented major changes to A. in August to provide natural conversational experience and professional services through diverse agents and strengthen search and other everyday convenience features. Thanks to the overhaul, the cumulative downloads as of the end of September exceeded 5.5 million. In October, we upgraded T Phone to A. phone with AI phone features and launched the PC version of Multi-LLM Agent. We plan to expand the application of A.'s AI features to various services. [Foreign language]. In the MNO business, our 5G subscribers recorded 16.58 million as of the end of September 2024, accounting for 73% of the total subscriber base. SK Broadband secured 9.62 million pay TV subscribers and 7.11 million broadband subscribers as of the end of Q3. Our strategy for the fixed and mobile business aims to improve profitability through stable market operation while defending the top line by focusing on attracting and retaining high ARPU subscribers. [Foreign language]. In Q3, enterprise business sustained a growth trend of 8% year-over-year. The cloud business also saw a revenue growth of 30% year-over-year with stable fixed line business performance. Enterprise AI business continues to win meaningful orders, and we will grow the enterprise AI business as a key pillar of B2B business and develop concrete ways to generate profit. [Foreign language]. Finally, let me turn to shareholder returns. [Foreign language]. The DPS for Q3 was determined at KRW 831, the same as Q2. For the remainder of 2024 and beyond, SK Telecom will strive to maximize corporate value as well as shareholder value. [Foreign language]. We look forward to your continued support and encouragement. Thank you. [Foreign language]. We will now begin the Q&A session. [Foreign language]. Now, Q&A session will begin. Please press star one. That is star and one if you have any questions. Questions will be taken according to the order you have pressed the number star one. For cancellation, please press star two. That is star and two on your phone. [Foreign language]. The first question will be presented by Seung-woong Lee from Yuanta Securities. Please go ahead with your question. [Foreign language]. I'm Lee Seung-woong from Yuanta Securities. I would like to ask you a couple of questions. First of all, when we look at the earnings results for the third quarter, we see that there's a larger recognition of non-operating losses, which has led to a smaller net income. I wonder if this will have any substantial impact on your year-end dividend. The second question has to do with your Corporate Value-up Plan, which you announced recently. However, SK Telecom is not included in the Value-up Index. I would like to understand your responses to that situation and the background behind your disclosure of the Corporate Value-up Plan. Thank you. [Foreign language]. This is CFO of SK Telecom. Thank you for your questions. I would first like to address your question on adding more color on our year-end dividend. [Foreign language]. As you may already know, SK Telecom announced a new shareholder return policy in April involving the use of more than 50% of consolidated net income as funds for shareholder return. For the entire year so far, the DPS per quarter has been determined at KRW 831. [Foreign language]. As for total shareholder return for the entire year, it very much depends on the closing of the fourth quarter earnings and the BOD deliberation. So I won't be able to give you a definite answer now, but the company remains committed to the idea that we need to maintain a stable dividend trend as much as possible because dividend is crucial for our corporate valuation. [Foreign language]. As you pointed out, in the third quarter, consolidated net income fell about 9% year-over-year due to the recognition of valuation losses from investment assets as non-operating expenses. But I would like to make it very clear that these valuation losses are one-off, non-recurring items, so they will not be included when calculating funds for dividend payout. [Foreign language]. Now, I'd like to address your question on our company's value-up disclosure. [Foreign language]. We reported the corporate value-up program to the board on October 24th and made the disclosure. [Foreign language]. This is the first year when companies are encouraged to disclose their value-up programs. In consideration of the purpose of this program, we prepared a value-up plan based on a clear analysis of the current status and presentation of the future vision so that the company value can be properly acknowledged by the investors. [Foreign language]. We included ROE, shareholder return ratio, and AI Vision 2030 as key indicators. Our ROE is around 9%, already the highest in the industry, but we aim to further improve it through operational improvement and AI transformation. [Foreign language]. For shareholder return, we will maintain the current shareholder return policy of using more than 50% of adjusted consolidated net income for dividend payout, which is already the top level in the Korean stock market. Also through AI Vision 2030, we aim to demonstrate our commitment to future growth beyond Telco, by proposing the total revenue target of KRW 30 trillion and the AI portion of 35% by 2030. [Foreign language]. By making a report to the BOD, we demonstrated our strong commitment and enhanced the plan's credibility. Going forward, we will develop specific action plans and conduct regular monitoring on implementation, and we will actively communicate with the market. [Foreign language]. As you mentioned, no telcos, including SK Telecom, were included in the Korea Value-up Index announced by the Korean Exchange on September 24th, but we will strive to enhance corporate value and actively communicate with the market so that we can be included in the index in the future. Thank you. [Foreign language]. The following question will be presented by Sung-jin Kim from Mirae Asset Securities. Please go ahead with your question. [Foreign language]. Thank you for this opportunity. I would like to ask two questions. As you mentioned already, SK Telecom has been pursuing diverse businesses regarding and using AI, and I'd like to understand AI's contribution to your earnings and also the directions for your AI service development and business models. The second question has to do with the Perplexity Pro promotion, and I understand that this promotion has been receiving positive responses in the market. So what kind of benefits did you reap from this promotion, maybe in terms of the increase in the number of subscribers to A. or contributions to the earnings overall? [Foreign language]. Thank you for your questions. Let me first address your question on our monetization plans using AI. [Foreign language]. For us, under the AI Pyramid strategy, SK Telecom is developing concrete monetization plans focusing on AI DC, AI B2B, and AI B2C as the three main domains to generate profit using AI. [Foreign language]. First of all, AI Data Center is key infrastructure for AI, and it is an area that we can pursue first. Based on the partnership agreement with Lambda that was signed in the second quarter, we began to deploy NVIDIA's GPUs in Gasan Center. When Lambda AI Data Center is open in December as scheduled, we will be able to provide GPU as a service, which is an AI cloud service. [Foreign language]. In addition, we will combine energy solutions to GPU as a service through cooperation with the group to secure and validate solutions optimized for AI data centers and pursue global expansion. [Foreign language]. Second, AI B2B market is about selling AI solutions for enterprise customers, which has a very high growth potential. For this market, in addition to cooperation with big tech companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI that the company has been pursuing, A.X that we have developed on our own is also becoming increasingly important in terms of security and cost. [Foreign language]. For AI enterprise business, we will pursue mutual cooperation at the group level to satisfy AI needs of group affiliate companies as well as corporate clients and further expand globally. [Foreign language]. Finally, for the third domain, AI B2C, SK Telecom is indeed the first company to enter the AI B2C market with A.. The app overhaul in the second quarter and the introduction of Perplexity have received positive responses in the market, and we were able to confirm domestic customers' strong interest in AI. [Foreign language]. Starting with the launch of A. Phone, we will expand A. agents to more diverse external service domains, and we will be able to offer truly meaningful AI agent experience based on a deeper understanding of customers in diverse contexts. [Foreign language]. We will test the global marketability of Global PAA through a closed beta testing within this year, and based on diverse service offerings both at home and abroad, we plan to explore monetization potentials of AI services going forward. Thank you. [Foreign language]. Now, on your second question on the promotion with Perplexity, the Head of AI Growth Strategy will respond. [Foreign language]. I am Lee Jae-shin, Head of AI Growth Strategy. We carried out the promotion for two months from September 4th for the Pro model of Perplexity, which was announced at the time of SK Telecom's investment $10 million in Perplexity in the second quarter. In order to provide global-level AI services to our customers, we offer one-year free subscription to Perplexity Pro model, which is worth $20 per month to SK Telecom customers. [Foreign language]. In the past, Perplexity carried out similar promotions in other countries such as Japan and Germany, and in Korea, thanks to the marketing capabilities and channel competitiveness of SK Telecom, this promotion was able to garner the largest number of customers in the shortest amount of time. [Foreign language]. Thanks to this unprecedented level of success, SK Telecom has been able to pursue and forge partnerships with Perplexity. Currently, our two companies are collaborating very closely in terms of technology and marketing. [Foreign language]. The two companies are currently working on developing AI products, and when the promotion is over, we will be able to offer Perplexity Pro model subscription to all customers, not just SK Telecom's customers, to all Korean people at much more favorable terms and conditions. [Foreign language]. Now, in terms of cooperation on technology, SK Telecom and Perplexity are jointly developing a Korean-enhanced AI search model by combining Perplexity's advanced AI search technology and SK Telecom's AI assets as well as technology so that this engine can take into consideration Korean-specific cultural context and provide responses that are tailored to Korean users. [Foreign language]. This promotion has demonstrated our capabilities in terms of marketing and SK Telecom's assets and technology as an AI company. We have both data, multimodal data, as well as A.X LLM, AI data centers, and GPU farms. So you can see how we have capabilities across the entire value chain. [Foreign language]. In addition to our cooperation with Perplexity, we will continue to cooperate with various global AI companies to offer AI experience and choices to our customers and expand the market. [Foreign language]. Thank you. [Foreign language]. The following question will be presented by Dongryun Lee from Macquarie Securities. Please go ahead with your question. [Foreign language]. Thank you for the opportunity to ask your questions. My first question is the impact of the launch of Flagship Handset Series on your 5G subscriber addition as well as marketing costs. My second question is to ask you for some updates on your cooperation with Penguin Solutions and Lambda for your AI DC business. [Foreign language]. Thank you for your questions. Regarding your question on marketing expenses, the head of Integrated Marketing Strategy Office will address. [Foreign language]. I'm Kim Ji-hyung, Head of the Integrated Marketing Strategy Office. In the third quarter, on top of Samsung Galaxy Foldable Series launched in July, new iPhone series, which typically were released in the fourth quarter, were released early in September. So we had more diverse flagship handset lineups compared to the other quarters. [Foreign language]. In addition to the effective flagship handsets, 5G price plans that add popular benefits such as Netflix subscription discounts are still very popular, which contributed also to sound earnings. [Foreign language]. Thanks to these factors, 5G subscriber net adds in the third quarter were 350,000, up 20% QOQ, and the 5G penetration rate is nearly 73%. [Foreign language]. We believe that these outcomes have resulted from our focused efforts on services and price plans with differentiated benefits that the company has been emphasizing, as well as sophisticated marketing activities based on accurate analysis of customers' needs and preferences. [Foreign language]. Going forward, we will continue to implement this type of marketing strategy to generate strong revenue and improve profit in MNO business in the mature 5G market. Thank you. [Foreign language]. Next, I'd like to invite the head of Enterprise Business Strategy Office to respond to your question on AI data centers. [Foreign language]. This is Bae Jae-jun, Head of the Enterprise Business Strategy Office. Let me answer your question on our AI data center business. [Foreign language]. Of the AI Pyramid Strategy in the AI infrastructure domain, with the rise of generative AI, there is a big growth in demand for AI data centers. Against this backdrop, we aim to lead the global AI DC ecosystem through partnerships with Lambda and Penguin Solutions. [Foreign language]. First of all, in December this year, we will open the first AI data center in the Asia Pacific region together with Lambda. We plan to deploy thousands of GPUs in the next three years to provide an optimal environment for high-density GPU server operation. We plan to use the data center to start a subscription-based AI cloud model, which is the GPU as a service business. [Foreign language]. Our core competitiveness lies in our own technological capabilities as well as partnerships with global AI companies. Through cooperation with Penguin Solutions that has expertise in large-scale AI cluster design, implementation, and operation, we are strengthening AI DC total solution capabilities, which are going to play a key role in securing leadership in the global AI data center market. [Foreign language]. Also, in terms of AI revenue generation, among the three domains of AI value chain, we expect the most rapid revenue generation in AI data centers and GPU as a service business will be the first step. [Foreign language]. In the rapidly changing AI market environment, we also plan to introduce various technologies for efficient AI data center operation. In particular, we're considering ways to reduce power consumption and operational costs by utilizing DSIM and immersion cooling technology, and we're currently conducting proof of concept in Bundang. These technologies are expected to further improve cost efficiency. [Foreign language]. [Foreign language]. [Foreign language]. [Foreign language]. The following question will be provided by Hoe Jae Kim from Daishin Securities. Please go ahead with your question. [Foreign language]. I'm Kim Hoe Jae from Daishin Securities. My question has a little bit of overlap with a previous question. In your value-up plan, you presented the 2030 targets, revenue of KRW 30 trillion and the AI portion of 35%. So I'd like to understand the portion of AI in your total revenue as of today and what is your expectation going forward. [Foreign language]. Thank you for your question. I'd like to comment on our 2030 targets. [Foreign language]. For the past three years, SK Telecom has been actively pursuing the AI Pyramid Strategy. When it comes to areas for AI monetization, we've concluded that AI DC, AI B2B, and AI B2C will be the three main areas, and we've decided to focus on these areas. [Foreign language]. Now, as for AI DC and infrastructure, AI B2B and AI B2C, in all of these markets, there is rapid growth in demand. SK Telecom aims to develop services as quickly as possible so that we can gain leadership in these rapidly growing markets and continue to become an AI company. [Foreign language]. First of all, in the AI DC market, there is already demand exceeding supply. We believe that we will be able to generate revenue in the short period, in the near future, and there is much more visibility in monetization in the AI DC market. Moving on to the AI B2B market, with the development of generative AI, we expect very big growth potential of this particular market. The B2C market has been led by platform companies, but we are seeing a paradigm shift in this B2C market. This will bring new opportunities for SK Telecom. [Foreign language]. Our 2030 targets of total revenue of KRW 30 trillion and the AI portion of 35% are indeed ambitious targets. But please consider that our value-up plan demonstrates our strong commitment to increasing the portion of AI to the level of the current telecommunications business so that we can transform into a global AI company. And as for the breakdown of revenue between telecommunications and AI, we are working on this, and we will soon be able to communicate with the market when details are ready. [Foreign language]. With this, we would like to conclude the earnings conference call for the third quarter of 2024 for SK Telecom. If you need further information or have additional inquiries, please feel free to contact the IR team. Thank you.
