The issue price was PLN 1. The shares were fully taken up by GPW. As a result, GPW's percentage stake in GPWL increased from 95.00% to 99.88%.

1.4. Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A. Group have been prepared according to the International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" approved by the

European Union. These Financial Statements do not contain all information required of complete financial statements prepared under the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union ("EU IFRS"1 ).

In the opinion of the Management Board of the parent entity, in the notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A. Group, the Company included all material information necessary for the proper assessment of the assets and the financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2025 and its financial results in the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 March 2025.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. As at the date of preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, in the opinion of the Management Board of the parent entity, there are no circumstances indicating any threats to the Group's ability to continue operations.

The Group has prepared the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the same accounting policies as those described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 other than for changes other than for changes resulting from the application of new standards as described below. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2025 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The following standards and amendments of existing standards adopted by the European Union are effective for the financial statements of the Group for the financial year started on 1 January 2025:

• Amendment to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates – Lack of Exchangeability.

Those amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards had no significant impact on data presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Standards and amendments to standards which have not been adopted by the European Union or are not yet effective:

  • New IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements;
  • New IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures;
  • Amendment to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments;
  • Amendments to IFRS Annual Improvements Volume 11;
  • Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity.

The Group is analysing the impact of these standards on its financial statements.

The Group intends to apply amendments which are applicable to its activities as of their effective date.

1.5. Change in accounting policy

In accordance with the IFRS Interpretations Committee interpretation IFRIC 21, the liability for the expected annual fee to the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (PFSA) is recognised in full in the first month of the financial year.

Until 31 December 2024, the Group recognised the cost of the annual fee on a one-off basis, in full, when the liability was recognised. From 1 January 2025, due to a change in accounting policy, the amount of the fee is recognised as an asset in the balance sheet under accruals and then accounted for on an accrual basis at 1/12th of the fee in each month of the financial year. As soon as the actual amount of the annual fee is known, appropriate adjustments are made to the accruals.

The purpose of the change is to increase transparency and comparability of financial results on a monthly and quarterly basis and to reduce significant fluctuations in operating expenses in the first month of the financial year which do not reflect the actual periodic nature of the expenses incurred.

1 The International Accounting Standards, the International Financial Reporting Standards and related interpretations published in Regulations of the European Commission.

As a result of the above, the items of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2024 and 1 January 2024 have not changed. However, certain items of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for the three-month period ended 31 March 2024 have changed.

The following table shows the impact of the changes on the items of the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three-month period ended 31 March 2024.

2. Segment reporting

Segment information is disclosed in these financial statements based on components of the entity which are monitored by the Group's chief decision maker (Exchange Management Board) to make operating decisions. The presentation of financial data by operating segment is consistent with the management approach at Group level. The Group's business segments focus their activities on the territory of Poland.

For management purposes, the Group has been divided based on the types of services provided, on the basis of which two main reportable segments have been defined. These are the financial segment and the commodity segment.

The financial segment covers the activity of the Group including organising trade in financial instruments on the exchange and related activities, organising the alternative trading system, educational, promotional and information activities related to the capital market. The financial segment includes the following categories: trading, listing, information services.

The commodity segment covers the activity of the Group including organising trade in commodities on the exchange as well as related activities: trading, operation of the Register of Certificates of origin of electricity, the CO2 Emissions Allowances market, clearing, the operation of a clearing house and a settlement system, the activity of a trade operator and the entity responsible for trade balancing, information services.

Other activities include among others the provision of logistics services, support services, not allocated to segments.

6.1.1. Information about transactions with the State Treasury and entities which are related parties of the State Treasury

Companies with a stake held by the State Treasury

The Group applies the exemption under IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures and keeps no records which would clearly identify and aggregate transactions with the State Treasury and with all entities which are related parties of the State Treasury.

Companies with a stake held by the State Treasury which are parties to transactions with the Exchange include issuers (from which it charges introduction and listing fees) and Exchange Members (from which it charges fees for access to trade on the exchange market, fees for access to the IT systems, and fees for trade in financial instruments).

Companies with a stake held by the State Treasury, with which TGE and IRGiT enter into transactions, include members of the markets operated by TGE and members of the Clearing House. Fees are charged from such entities for participation and for trade on the markets operated by TGE, for issuance and cancellation of property rights in certificates of origin, and for clearing.

All trade transactions with entities with a stake held by the State Treasury are concluded by the Group in the normal course of business and are carried out on an arm's length basis.

Polish Financial Supervision Authority ("PFSA")

The PFSA Chairperson publishes the rates and the indicators necessary to calculate capital market supervision fees by 31 August of each calendar year. On that basis, the entities obliged to pay the fee calculate the final amount of the annual fee due for the year and pay the fee by 30 September of the calendar year.

The Group recognised a liability in respect of the fee for 2025 at PLN 16,489 thousand, of which PLN 4,125 thousand was charged to the operating expenses in the first three months ended on 31 March 2025.

This liability was recognised in 2016 costs and is accrued over time. As the Foundation ceased to pursue the mission that was the basis of the Founders' decision to establish the Foundation, in particular, it ceased to support the development and promotion of the Polish capital market, the Exchange stopped payment of the donation to PNF in 2024. As at 31 March 2025 and as at 31 December 2024, the liability of the Exchange to PNF amounted to PLN 4,361 thousand.

Krajowy Ośrodek Wsparcia Rolnictwa ("KOWR")

The cooperation agreement also provides for further investments in GPWV SKA, i.e. three tranches of PLN 50 million in 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. As a result, the GPW Group lost control of the subsidiary and holds 0.07% of the share capital as a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income as at 31 December 2024.

6.4. Grants

New Trading System

Upon completion of the work to the extent set out in the agreement with NCBiR (8 stages) and upon acceptance of the Final Report by NCBiR, the sustainability period of the project began on 10 July 2024, during which GPW as a beneficiary of the grant is required to carry out production roll-out of the developed solution within three years.

On 25 July 2024, following an assessment of the progress of work in the project and discussions with the Implementation Committee, comprising representatives of Exchange Members, the Exchange Management Board set the date for the launch of WATS basic version V1 for 10 November 2025 on the markets operated by GPW and on the BondSpot regulated market.

On 26 September 2024, the Exchange Management Board decided to update the project budget to a gross amount of PLN 152.9 million. This amount covers the completion of the production of WATS version V1 and its roll-out and integration with the GPW Group's systems by the agreed deadline of 10 November 2025. In addition, the approved budget covers the completion of a functional analysis and the production of WATS version V2 by the end of 2025, whose main component will be the operation of the All2All BondSpot market and an access application to this market. The budget amount also covers the completion of a functional analysis of WATS version V3, which will start in the second half of 2025 and concerns advanced functionality for the handling of derivatives.

GPW Data

GPW Data is a project aimed at creating an innovative system to support the investment decisions of capital market participants. The system was designed based on two modules: an investor support tool ("NWI") and a reporting system with an exchange market data repository. Following an analysis conducted in 2024, it was decided to discontinue the development of the NWI functionality. However, work will continue on the completion and implementation of the reporting system. The roll-out of the system is planned for the second half of 2025.

GPW Private Market

GPW Private Market is a project aiming to build a blockchain platform to tokenise assets. Fundamental changes in regulatory conditions have affected the ability to implement the project to the extent envisaged. In 2024, the Exchange Management Board decided that due to the questionable economic viability of this activity and the high reputational risk, the Company will not engage in crowdfunding in the near future. However, the development of tokenisation of non-financial assets is still planned, although due to changes in regulatory conditions and lack of control over the solution under development, GPW may not be able to leverage the work done so far.

Telemetry ("TeO")

TeO is a project to build a multi-modular auction platform for comprehensive profiling of TV users and for the sale and display of targeted advertising on linear TV. The deliverables of the research and development carried out under this project were sold by GPW S.A. to the subsidiary GPW DAI S.A., which has implemented and launched the platform.

Polish Digital Logistics Operator ("PCOL")

PCOL is a project for an innovative logistics platform based on artificial intelligence to optimise costs in areas related to transport and logistics, dedicated to companies which will in the future use the services and solutions offered. The deliverables of the research and development carried out under this project were sold by GPW S.A. to the subsidiary GPW Logistics S.A., which has implemented the project and launched the platform.

6.5. Seasonality

The activity of the Group shows no significant seasonality except for the revenue from the commodity market which shows seasonality during the year (the revenue of the first months of the year is higher than the revenue for the other quarters of the year). Stock prices and turnover depend largely on local, regional, and global trends impacting the capital markets, which makes revenue from the financial market cyclical.

6.6. Additional information concerning the outbreak of armed conflict in Ukraine

On 24 February 2022, armed conflict broke out in Ukraine. The international community reacted by imposing sanctions against Russia. In view of the impact of the conflict on the political and economic situation in Europe and the world, the GPW Group took into account the recommendations of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority for issuers of securities, published on 2 March 2022.

In this connection, the GPW Group has:

  • conducted an analysis of potential risks arising from the conflict that may affect the operations of the Exchange and the Group companies (Note 4.4.2 in the Management Board's Report on the Activities of the Parent Entity and the Warsaw Stock Exchange Group for 2024 and note 6.2. in the Interim Report of the Warsaw Stock Exchange S.A. Capital Group for the 3-month period ended March 31, 2025); and
  • conducted an analysis of the potential impact of the conflict on the financial statements in the context of assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The companies of the Group have no direct investments/exposures to entities with operations in Ukraine/Russia. The Group does not hold any material assets in foreign currency related to war zones and therefore exchange rate fluctuations are not expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial position.

Given the significant uncertainties arising from further developments in the conflict, the long-term impact of the conflict is impossible to determine as at the date of these financial statements.

In the opinion of the Exchange Management Board, at the time of publication of this report, the Group did not identify any material uncertainties relating to events or circumstances that would cast significant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern.

6.7. Contingent liabilities

6.7.1. Contingent liabilities – grants, guarantees

In connection with the implementation of the projects New Trading System, GPW Data, GPW Private Market, TeO and PCOL, the Exchange presented five own blank bills of exchange to NCBR securing obligations under the projects' co-financing agreements. According to the agreements and the bill-of-exchange declarations, NCBR may complete the bills of exchange with the amount of provided co-financing which may be subject to refunding, together with interest accrued at the statutory rate of overdue taxes from the date of transfer of the amount to the Exchange's account to the day of repayment (separate for each project). NCBR may also complete the bills of exchange with the payment date and insert a "no protest" clause. The bills of exchange may be completed upon the fulfilment of conditions laid down in the co-financing agreement. Each of the bills of exchange shall be returned to the Exchange or destroyed after the project sustainability period defined in the project co-financing agreement.

As at 31 March 2025, the Group recognised a contingent liability in respect of a VAT correction. Acting in the interest of GPW shareholders, pursuant to point 92 of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the Group is not disclosing the estimated amount of the potential payable (see: Note 6.8).

As at 31 March 2025, the Group held bank guarantees issued in favour of:

  • NordPool in the amount of EUR 1.0 million effective to 16 June 2025,
  • Slovenská Elektrizačná Prenosová Sústava (SEPS) in the amount of EUR 3.0 million effective to 30 June 2025,
  • ČEPS in the amount of EUR 4.5 million effective to 30 June 2025,
  • European Commodity Clearing AG (ECC) in the amount of EUR 3.5 million effective to 30 June 2025.

The Group has an agreement with Santander Bank Polska S.A. for a guarantee limit of EUR 120.0 million. On 19 June 2024, Annex 3 to the Guarantee Limit Agreement was concluded, which increased the limit from EUR 90.0 million to EUR 120.0 million and extended the availability period of the limit by three years, i.e. until 30 June 2027.

The Group also guarantees the due performance by the subsidiary InfoEngine of its payment obligations under the Transmission Agreement concluded between InfoEngine and Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne S.A. The guarantee amount is PLN 4.0 million. The validity period of the guarantee has been extended until 30 June 2027.

6.8. Uncertainty about VAT

In accordance with the GPW Group's tax risk management policy, tax accounts of all Group companies including IRGiT have been subject to an annual tax review carried out by an independent tax advisor since 2017. In addition, following one such review, with a view to verification of tax risk identified in the review, the IRGiT Management Board requested independent advisors to provide an analysis concerning the time of origination of input VAT from transactions in electricity and gas deliveries and the time of origination of the right to deduct input VAT and to calculate potential impact on IRGiT's tax payable of a potential amendment of IRGiT's tax policy in compliance with the general rules concerning the time of origination of tax liabilities regarding output VAT and the direct application of Directive 112 to the extent of input VAT.

According to the provided opinions, IRGiT's tax policy is correct in the light of EU law, in particular to the extent of input VAT, and considering the specificity of IRGiT's business, in relation to output VAT. However, under the applicable national tax law, such approach could be challenged by tax authorities due to the literal interpretation of tax regulations.

On 9 October 2020, the Regional Administrative Court in Warsaw dismissed IRGiT's appeal and upheld the individual interpretation issued by the Director of the National Tax Information dated 12 November 2019 concerning the principles of determining the time of origination of the right to deduct input VAT from invoices for electricity and gas. On 5 December 2020, IRGiT filed an appeal on a point of law with the Supreme Administrative Court in Warsaw, and followed up with a supplementary submission of 15 April 2021 which referred to recent CJEU case-law, not yet available when the appeal on a point of law was filed, which fully supports the pleas raised by IRGiT in its appeal on a point of law. On 4 September 2024, IRGiT filed a request with the Supreme Administrative Court to refer questions for a preliminary ruling to the Court of Justice

of the European Union (CJEU) regarding the compatibility with the VAT Directive of the provisions of the national VAT Act to the extent that they contradict the overriding principle of VAT neutrality. On 2 October 2024, the Supreme Administrative Court, at a hearing, decided that there was doubt in this case as to the compatibility of the provisions of the national VAT Act with the EU legislation. Consequently, the Supreme Administrative Court suspended the proceedings and referred the question to the CJEU for a preliminary ruling.

Due to the uncertainty regarding the timing of settlement of VAT accrued and due in all open periods, as well as the amount of the above-mentioned potential VAT liability, and guided by the prudence principle and in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, liabilities and contingent assets, a decision was made to create a provision for interest that could arise in the event of a shift in VAT deduction periods, the amount of which as at 31 December 2023 amounted to PLN 30.1 million.

Due to the expiry of the five-year period related to the statutory limitation for the VAT liability for the period from December 2018 to November 2019, which expired on 31 December 2024, the Company commissioned an independent advisor to update the provisions. As a result of the recalculation of the provisions, following the expiry of the five-year period related to the statutory limitation for the VAT liability, the amount of the provisions has been significantly reduced.

As a result of the events described above, financial income was recognised on the release of the provisions at PLN 29.0 million and the net provisions at 31 December 2024 were reduced to PLN 1.1 million. The provisions represent the best possible estimate of the potential liability as at 31 December 2024 which would have to be paid upon an amendment of the existing methodology of determining the time of origination of the tax liability and the deduction right. The estimated provisions as at 31 December 2024 reflect a reduction in the potential tax liability and consequently a decrease in potential tax arrears with interest.

As at 31 March 2025, the provisions stood at PLN 1.2 million (PLN 1.1 million as at 31 December 2024). As a result of the provision update, the Group recognised financial costs at PLN 115 thousand in the three-month period ended 31 March 2025 (PLN 918 thousand in the three-month period ended 31 March 2024).

From the tax perspective, the risk arising from the statute of limitation concerning the recognition of output VAT reported in November 2018 was neutralised as of the end of 2024. However, there is a risk in 2025 due to the statute of limitation rules for the recognition of output VAT reported in November 2019. Due to the application of the lex specialis concerning the time of origination of tax on electricity and gas deliveries, the VAT would be deferred to the following month and consequently recognised for a second time without the right to a correction in the month of November affected by the statute of limitation, which would be in direct violation of the principle of VAT neutrality. Literal application of those rules could however result in double VAT imposed on transactions. Consequently, acting in the interest of GPW shareholders, pursuant to point 92 of IAS 37, the Group is not disclosing the estimated amount of the contingent liability.
