According to a regulatory filing, SK Hynix booked a KRW 3.98 trillion derivative
trading loss in 1H 2026 tied to exchangeable bonds issued in April 2023. The
loss stemmed from bondholders exercising conversion rights and a rise in SK
Hynix’s Korean-listed share price. The company said the accounting loss does not
involve cash outflow and that gains on disposal of treasury shares recognized
when the bonds converted have largely offset the loss.
