&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Report on Review of Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean) To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of KT Corporation Reviewed Financial Statements We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of KT Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements consist of the consolidated interim statement of financial position of the Group as at March 31, 2026, and the related consolidated interim statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and material accounting policy information 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 consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the Republic of Korea (Korean IFRS) 1034 Interim Financial Reporting, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated 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 consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Korean IFRS 1034 Interim Financial Reporting.

Other Matters The consolidated interim statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, presented herein for comparative purposes, were reviewed by Deloitte Anjin LLC whose report dated May 15, 2025. Based on their review, nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position as of March 31, 2025, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 in accordance with K-IFRS No.1034 Interim Financial Reporting. The consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025, and the consolidated statements of profit or loss, 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 13, 2026. The consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025, presented herein for comparative purposes, is consistent, in all material respects, with the above audited consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2025. Review standards and their application in practice vary among countries. The procedures and practices used in the Republic of Korea to review such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted and applied in other countries. May 15, 2026 Seoul, Korea This report is effective as of May 15, 2026, the review report date. Certain subsequent events or circumstances, which may occur between the review report date and the time of reading this report, could have a material impact on the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto. Accordingly, the readers of the review report should understand that there is a possibility that the above review report may have to be revised to reflect the impact of such subsequent events or circumstances, if any.

KT Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements As at March 31, 2026 and 2025, and December 31, 2025 19 - Amendments to Korean IFRS 1109 Financial Instruments and Korean IFRS 1107 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity are defined contracts that expose an entity to variability in the underlying amount of electricity because the source of electricity generation depends on uncontrollable natural conditions (for example, the weather). The amendments clarify that 'contracts to buy or sell such electricity' are assessed for eligibility under the own-use exemption. In addition, the amendments modify hedge accounting requirements by allowing an entity to designate as the hedged item a variable nominal amount of forecast electricity transactions that reflect the nature-dependent variability of electricity and introduce additional disclosure requirements.

The estimated average annual effective income tax rate is applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period. The Group is subject to Pillar Two income taxes and has reviewed the impact on the financial statements. As a result of this assessment, The Group is within the scope of the Pillar Two model rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Report on Review of Condensed Separate Interim Financial Statements (English Translation of a Report Originally Issued in Korean) To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of KT Corporation Reviewed Financial Statements We have reviewed the accompanying condensed separate interim financial statements of KT Corporation (the "Company"). These condensed separate interim financial statements consist of the separate interim statement of financial position of the Company as at March 31, 2026, and the related separate interim statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and material accounting policy information 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) 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 express a conclusion 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.
