New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of South Korean stocks, typically moving 15% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • May 29

LG CNS Leverages Manufacturing AX Tech to Target the Middle East Oil Market LG CNS is set to expand into Middle Eastern markets with its advanced manufacturing-focused AX technologies. From September 30 to October 2, LG CNS participated in the International Downstream Conference & Exhibition (IDCE) 2025 in Bahrain, marking a first for a Korean IT company as it showcased manufacturing AX technologies for intelligent and automated operation of petroleum sites. IDCE is the largest industry event in the Middle East and often referred to as the CES of the petroleum and petroleum refining industry. The event is hosted by the Gulf Downstream Association (GDA), a trade body established by the region's six leading companies, including Saudi Aramco and Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO). This year, companies from approximately 50 countries participated to showcase breakthrough technologies in the petroleum and petroleum refining industry as well as sustainable energy solutions. LG CNS' booth at the exhibition used the theme "AI-Driven Intelligent Plant Transformation" and was set up in collaboration with S-OIL, a petroleum and refining company. The objective was to introduce a variety of innovations, including Flare Stack AI Monitoring, AI-Guided HAZOP Analysis, AI Tutor for Process Safety Management (PSM), and AI Incident Reporting Assistant. The solutions are designed to enhance safety management and productivity - both key priorities in manufacturing - and were successful in capturing strong interest from industry professionals. One example of a solution is Flare Stack AI Monitoring, which leverages AI image analysis and CCTV to enable uninterrupted, 24/7 monitoring of flare stacks, facilities that burn off flammable gases, and enable safe disposal. When it detects abnormalities in smoke color or flare conditions, the AI-powered system automatically controls steam valves to ensure optimal operation, thereby dramatically boosting process stability. LG CNS also introduced an AI agent that automates facility drawing analyses for Hazard and Operability (HAZOP). HAZOP is performed during the design or commissioning stage of production facilities to identify potential hazards in advance. The entire process is traditionally conducted manually, making it time-consuming and subject to variations due to differences in expertise at the staffing level. AI-Guided HAZop Analysis standardizes this by automatically analyzing all facility and equipment drawings and specifications. This reduces average analysis time by more than 60% and significantly improves accuracy. PSM AI Tutor is an AI-based mock interview program designed to support safety awareness with employees, a key component of PSM inspections. Unlike traditional face-to-face interview training by safety managers, this approach eliminates time and location constraints, allowing more efficient preparation. The AI Incident Reporting Assistant automates the reporting and documentation process in the event of workplace incidents, including fires and injuries, to accelerate the initial response time. Upon receiving site photos or voice memos from the first witness via a mobile app, AI is used to assess the information to determine the incident type, severity, and probable causes. It then streamlines the full reporting process, from preparing reports to notifying relevant internal teams and safety authorities. This enables more efficient responses in industrial accidents, where accurate root-cause analysis and fast initial response are critical. LG CNS and S-OIL initially signed a business agreement in February to build intelligent plants and have been working together since then to integrate AX technologies in petroleum and petroleum refining operations. Alongside the event, LG CNS CEO Shin Gyoon Hyun met with Hussain A. Al Qahtani, Senior Vice President of Fuels at Saudi Aramco, to explore collaboration opportunities aimed at embedding AX technologies within Saudi Aramco, building on LG CNS's proven track record in manufacturing AX.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of South Korean stocks, typically moving 9.4% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jun 12
