Neither the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2024 and as at 31 March 2024 nor the quarterly financial information of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2024 and as at 31 March 2024 were subject to audit by a certified auditor.

The consolidated quarterly report for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 March 2024 was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as approved by the European Union and for a full understanding of the financial position and operating results of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, should be read jointly with the Annual Report RR 2023 and the Consolidated annual report SRR 2023.

This quarterly report's financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and valuation methods for the current and comparable periods and principles applied in annual financial statements (consolidated and separate), prepared as at 31 December 2023.

Note 1.4.1 Impact of new and amended standards and interpretations

From 1 January 2024, the following amendments to Standards came into force:

  • Amendments to IFRS 16 on lease liabilities in a sale and leaseback,
  • Amendments to IAS 1 on classification of liabilities as current or non-current (including changes due to deferral of effective date),
  • Amendments to IAS 1 on non-current liabilities associated with covenants,
  • Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 on disclosure requirements regarding supplier finance arrangements.

Up to the date of publication of this consolidated quarterly report, with the exception of amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7, the aforementioned amendments to standards were adopted for use by the European Union. The Group will implement these amendments within the date of their first mandatory application. In the Group's opinion:

  • amendments to IAS 1 will not have an impact on current classification of liabilities due to bank and other loans, since the Group presented these liabilities in a manner concurrent with the altered requirements,
  • amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 on disclosure requirements regarding supplier finance arrangements will, following their adoption by the European Union, be included by the Group in disclosures on the scope of reverse factoring used by the Group, as an addition to information currently published in the consolidated financial statements, but it was determined that this impact will be insignificant,
  • amendments to IFRS 16 do not have an impact on these condensed consolidated financial statements or on the comparable period.

payable copper: Sierra Gorda 17.0 thousand tonnes (55%); Robinson 14.3 thousand tonnes; Carlota
0.9 thousand tonnes; the Sudbury Basin 0.8 thousand tonnes. The Sierra Gorda mine continued to

Note 2.2 Development directions of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group

In the short-term perspective, the existing policy aimed at adapting the functioning of the organisation to the business model and the market environment as well as at cooperation between the Group's entities will be continued. The implementation of investments aimed at ensuring cost effectiveness and development scenarios for the individual international assets in the Company's portfolio will be an equally important task.

The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group will continue its exploratory work, the objective of which is to develop the resource base and, as a result, to maintain optimum production levels and maximise the value of the Group's assets in the long term.

As part of the implementation of the climate policy and the energy transition, an increase is anticipated in terms of investments in renewable energy sources, projects related to improving energy efficiency, projects aimed at protecting the environment and adaptation to increasing regulatory requirements in this regard.

The aforementioned intentions will be realised by continuing already commenced or bringing into operation new investments, the most significant of which are, among others:

  • − outfitting the mines along with the construction of conveyor belts,
  • − replacement of mining machinery,
  • − construction of mine de-watering systems,
  • − construction of air cooling systems,
  • − construction of the Tailings Segregation and Compacting Station at the Żelazny Most Tailings Storage Facility,
  • − Hybrid Legnica Smelter and Refinery,
  • − modernisation of electrorefining process at the Legnica Copper Smelter and Refinery by conversion to technology with a backing strip,
  • − intensification of oxygen-free copper wire rod production at the Cedynia Wire Rod Plant by constructing new production lines,
  • − the Deposit Access Program (Deep Głogów along with access and development tunnels),
  • − exploring for and evaluating deposits in areas under exploration concessions,
  • − development of the Żelazny Most Tailings Storage Facility above a crown height of 195 m a.s.l.
  • − construction of an installation and acquisitions in terms of photovoltaic energy.

Moreover, the Company will continue work on new intelligent technologies and production management systems based on online communication between elements of the production process and advanced data analysis.

Aggregation was carried out as a result of not meeting the
criteria necessitating the identification of a separate additional
reporting segment.

The following companies were not included in any of the aforementioned segments:

  • Future 1 Sp. z o.o., which acts as a holding company with respect to the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group,
  • Future 3 Sp. z o.o., Future 4 Sp. z o.o., Future 5 Sp. z o.o., which operate in the structure related to the establishment of a Tax Group.

These companies do not conduct operating activities which could impact the results achieved by individual segments, and as a result their inclusion could distort the data presented in this part of the consolidated financial statements due to significant settlements with other Group companies.

Each of the segments KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. and Sierra Gorda S.C.M. have their own Management Boards, which report the results of their business activities to the Management Board of the Parent Entity.

The segment KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is composed only of the Parent Entity, and the segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is composed only of the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. Other companies of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group are presented below by segment: KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. and Other segments.

* Entities acquired on 29 February 2024 (Note 5.1)

The Parent Entity and the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group (a subgroup) have a fundamental impact on the assets and the generation of revenues in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. The activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. are concentrated on the mining industry in Poland, while those of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group are concentrated on the mining industry in the countries of North and South America. The profile of activities of the majority of the remaining subsidiaries of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group differs from the main profile of the Parent Entity's activities.

The Parent Entity's Management Board monitors the operating results of individual segments in order to make decisions on allocating the Group's resources and assess the financial results achieved.

Financial data prepared for management reporting purposes is based on the same accounting policies as those applied when preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group, while the financial data of individual reporting segments constitutes the amounts presented in appropriate financial statements prior to consolidation adjustments at the level of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, i.e.:

  • The segment KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. comprises data from the separate financial statements of the Parent Entity prepared in accordance with IFRSs. In the separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries (including indirect investment in KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.) are measured at cost, including the impairment losses,
  • The segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. comprises consolidated data of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group prepared in accordance with IFRSs. The involvement in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is accounted for using the equity method,
  • The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. comprises the 55% share of assets, liabilities, revenues and costs of this venture presented in the separate financial statements of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. prepared in accordance with IFRSs,
  • Other segments comprises aggregated data of individual subsidiaries after excluding transactions and balances between them.

The Management Board of the Parent Entity assesses a segment's performance based on adjusted EBITDA and the profit or loss for the period.

The Group defines adjusted EBITDA as profit/loss for the period pursuant to IFRS, excluding taxes (current and deferred income tax as well as the mining tax), finance income and costs, other operating income and costs, profit or loss on involvement in joint ventures, depreciation/amortisation and recognition/reversal of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets included in the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses.

In the third quarter of 2023, the Company redefined adjusted EBITDA during the reporting period, by including depreciation/amortisation recognised in expenses by nature in the calculation method (until now, the depreciation/amortisation recognised in profit or loss was included). The applied approach is commonly used by numerous listed companies, including in the mining sector, and ensures consistency and comparability with plans of individual operating segments of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and parameters applied in credit agreements. The comparable period was converted pursuant to the presentation in the current reporting period, adjusted EBITDA changed as compared to the one presented in the published Consolidated report for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease in the amount of PLN 80 million.

Adjusted EBITDA – as a financial indicator not defined by IFRSs – is not a standardised measure and therefore its method of calculation may vary between entities, and consequently the presentation and calculation of adjusted EBITDA applied by the Group may not be comparable to that applied by other market entities.

Revenues from transactions with external entities and inter-segment transactions are carried out at arm's length. Eliminations of mutual settlements, revenues and costs between segments were presented in the item "Consolidation adjustments".

Unallocated assets and liabilities concern companies which have not been allocated to any segment. Assets which have not been allocated to the segments comprise cash and trade receivables. Liabilities which have not been allocated to the segments comprise trade liabilities and deferred tax liabilities.

In the first 3 months of 2024, ore extraction was at the same level as in the previous year. Copper content in ore increased to the level of 1.48%.

Copper production in concentrate amounted to 102.5 thousand tonnes and was higher by 2.0 thousand tonnes (+2%) as compared to the first 3 months of 2023. The increase in production was a result of extraction of higher quality ore by the mines and their processing in concentrators.

As compared to the corresponding period of 2023, there was a decrease in electrolytic copper production by 2.8 thousand tonnes. The cathode production is consistent with the adopted production plan for 2024.

Metallic silver production amounted to 309.8 tonnes and was lower by 65.1 tonnes (-17.4%) as compared to the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in metallic silver production was a result of the performed, planned technological maintenance at the Precious Metals Plant.

Metallic gold production amounted to 20.1 thousand troy ounces and was lower by 10.8 thousand troy ounces (-35%) as compared to the first quarter of 2023. The lower metallic gold production was a result of processing lower amount of purchased copper concentrates with a high content of this metal.

2) Cash cost of concentrate production reflecting the minerals extraction tax, plus administrative expenses and smelter treatment and refining charges (TC/RC), less depreciation/amortisation cost and the value of by-product premiums, calculated for sold payable copper in concentrate

The Parent Entity's cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses (total cost of products, merchandise and materials sold, selling costs and administrative expenses) for the first quarter of 2024 amounted to PLN 6 778 million and were lower by 8.1% as compared to the corresponding period of 2023, mainly due to lower expenses by nature alongside higher utilisation of inventories, which resulted in higher sales of copper products alongside a decrease in electrolytic copper production by 2%.

In the first quarter of 2024, total expenses by nature as compared to the first three months of 2023 were lower by PLN 870 million, alongside a mineral extraction tax lower by PLN 263 million and the cost of consumption of purchased metal-bearing materials lower by PLN 271 million due to 13% lower purchase price alongside a higher volume by 0.5 thousand tonnes of copper (+0.8%).

The decrease in expenses by nature, excluding purchased metal-bearing materials and the minerals extraction tax, amounted to PLN 336 million (-8.3%) and mainly resulted from decreases in the following costs:

  • − energy carriers by PLN 219 million due to lower prices of energy and lower purchase volume alongside higher energy production from own sources,
  • − technological gas by PLN 141 million due to lower prices alongside higher volume used to produce energy,
  • − other technological materials by PLN 57 million, mainly due to lower purchase prices,
  • − depreciation/amortisation by PLN 18 million due to impairment losses on the Polish production assets of the Company, recognised at the end of 2023.

At the same time, the Company recorded increases in the following costs:

  • − external services by PLN 56 million due to higher fees for provided services,
  • − labour costs by PLN 23 million due to higher remuneration of employees alongside a simultaneous decrease in liabilities due to future employee benefits measured in correspondence with costs – a difference as compared to the corresponding period of 2023 in the amount of -PLN 89 million.

C1 cost for the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 3.01 USD/lb and was lower than the C1 cost in the corresponding period of 2023 by 2.4%. The decrease in this cost was mainly due to lower tax burden by the minerals extraction tax and higher production of copper in own concentrate alongside a negative impact of a decrease in USD exchange rate.

The pre-precious metals credit unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate (unit cost prior to decrease by the value of anode slimes containing, among others, silver and gold) amounted to 42 748 PLN/t (in the corresponding period of 2023: 43 451 PLN/t) and was lower by 1.6%, mainly due to the lower mineral extraction tax alongside a lower production from own concentrate by 4%.

The total unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate amounted to 31 937 PLN/t and was lower than in the corresponding period of 2023 by 0.1% alongside lower value of anode slimes due to lower volumes of silver and gold.

Financial results

The Company recorded a profit for the first quarter of 2024 of PLN 387 million, or PLN 95 million lower than in the corresponding prior-year period.

Copper production in the first quarter of 2024 doubled as compared to the corresponding quarter of 2023. The increase in production was caused by mining in areas with much higher copper content in ore, than in the corresponding period of 2023, when mining was conducted in the transition zone (the Robinson mine) alongside the problems with mining machine park associated with mining in significantly more difficult weather conditions. Ore from the new zones enabled the mine to achieve higher copper recovery.

An increase in production of precious metals by 58% during the year is also a result of mining a richer deposit and the associated increase in gold production by the Robinson mine.

1) Reflects processing premium

In the first quarter of 2024, revenues of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. amounted to USD 132 million, or PLN 525 million, which is a decrease respectively by 19% and 26% as compared to the corresponding period of 2023. The decrease in revenues is mostly a result of a lower amount of copper sold and lower copper prices. In the first quarter of 2023, the concentrate sold by the Robinson mine came, for a large part, from inventories made in 2022, and therefore sales volume was at a disproportionately higher level as compared to production results.

The impact of individual factors on changes in revenues from contracts with customers was presented in the subsection on financial results of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.

Costs

The costs of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to USD 118 million (PLN 470 million), significantly below the amount recorded in the corresponding quarter of 2023.

1) C1 unit production cost of copper - cash cost of payable copper production, reflecting costs of ore extraction and processing, the minerals extraction tax, transport costs, administrative expenses during the mining phase and smelter treatment and refining charges (TC/RC) less by-product value

The main factors responsible for the decrease in costs as compared to the first quarter of 2023 are:

− a decrease in write-downs of inventories,

  • − an increase in inventories of products and work in progress as compared to the decrease in the corresponding period of 2023,
  • − an increase in the scope of stripping work, and therefore capitalised stripping costs.

Alongside the increase in operating efficiency of the Robinson mine and the increased scope of stripping work, C1 unit copper production cost had significantly improved. It should also be stressed that in the first quarter of 2023 the costs were increased by the write-downs of inventories, which in this year had a marginal impact on the level of C1. The negative factor was the decrease in revenues from sales of precious metals, which are excluded in the calculation of the unit cost.

The impact of main factors on changes in costs of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses was presented in the subsequent subsection.

Financial results

In the first quarter of 2024, KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. achieved an adjusted EBITDA at the level of USD 62 million, as compared to the negative amount in the corresponding quarter of 2023.

3.8.3 The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is a joint venture, whose owners are the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group (55%) and the Australian mining group South32 (45%).

The following production and financial data are for the full ownership of the joint venture (100%) and proportionally to the interest in the company Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (55%), pursuant to the methodology of presentation of data in the note of the consolidated financial statements on operating segments.

TPM production – gold -segment (55%) koz t 6.5 7.5 (13.1)

Sierra Gorda S.C.M. increased its ore throughput by 8%, but due to a lower copper content in ore processed in the first quarter of 2024 the production of payable copper in concentrate amounted to 30.9 thousand tonnes and was lower by 3.5 thousand tonnes as compared to the amounts recorded in the first quarter of 2023.

The noticeable decrease in molybdenum production (-50%) is a result of lower molybdenum content in processed material, as well as the high content of swelling clays which caused the decrease in recovery.

Sales

Revenues from sales in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to USD 309 million (on a 100% basis), or PLN 679 million respectively to the 55% interest held by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

As compared to results achieved in the first quarter of 2023, revenues decreased by 21% in the functional currency and by 27% in PLN million (for the 55% share). Decrease in revenues is a result, among others, of mining ore with lower copper content, which led to lower sales by 5.2 thousand tonnes of payable copper (-15%).

The detailed impact of individual factors on changes in revenues was presented in the subsection discussing the financial results of Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

Costs

The cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses amounted to USD 240 million, including cost of sales of USD 212 million and total selling costs and administrative expenses of USD 28 million. Proportionally to the interest held (55%), the costs of the segment amounted to PLN 527 million.

Costs incurred in the first quarter of 2024 are at the level comparable to the corresponding period of 2023.

The decrease in the volume of copper sold and lower revenues from sales of precious metals were the main reasons for the worsening of C1, that is a unit cash cost of copper production, which increased from the level of 1.48 USD/lb to 1.90 USD/lb in the first quarter of 2024.

Financial results

In the first quarter of 2024, adjusted EBITDA amounted to USD 151 million. Proportionally to the interest held (55%), PLN 332 million is attributable to the KGHM Group.

The Group classifies loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. as credit-impaired financial assets due to the high credit risk at the moment of initial recognition (POCI). POCI loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate, adjusted by the credit risk using the scenario analysis and available free cash of Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

Pursuant to the requirements of IFRS 9.5.5.17, the Group performed impairment testing of the loan. To estimate the expected credit losses, scenario analysis (IFRS 9.5.5.18) was used, comprising the Group's assumptions on the repayment of the loan granted. The scenario analysis was based on cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M., which were subsequently discounted using the effective interest rate adjusted by the credit risk, determined at the initial recognition of the loan pursuant to IFRS 9.B5.5.45 at the level of 6.42%.

As at 31 March 2024, the assumptions adopted for estimation of cash flow due to repayment of receivables due to loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. have not changed in comparison with the assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2023.

The Group does not disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortised cost in the statement of financial position (except for loans granted, long-term bank and other loans received and long-term debt securities), because it makes use of the exemption arising from IFRS 7.29 (Disclosure of information on the fair value is not required when the carrying amount is approximate to the fair value).

In the current reporting period, there was no transfer in the Group of financial instruments between individual levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Methods and measurement techniques used by the Group in determining fair values of each class of financial assets or financial liabilities.

Level 1

Listed shares

Shares are measured based on quotations from the Warsaw Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange in Toronto.

Long-term debt securities

Long-term debt securities are measured based on quotations from the Catalyst Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

Level 2

Unquoted shares

Unquoted shares are measured using the adjusted net assets. Observable Input data other than the ones from the active market were used in the measurement (e.g. transaction prices of real estate similar to the one subjected to measurement, market interest rates of State Treasury bonds and term deposits in financial institutions, and the riskfree discount rate published by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority).

Trade receivables

Receivables arising from the realisation of sales under contracts which are finally settled using future prices were measured using forward prices, depending on the period/month of contractual quoting. Forward prices are from the Reuters system.

For trade receivables transferred to non-recourse factoring, a fair value is assumed at the level of the amount of the trade receivables transferred to the factor (nominal value from the invoice) less interest, which are the factor's compensation. Due to the short term between the transfer of receivables to the factor and their payment, fair value is not adjusted by the credit risk of the factor and impact of time lapse.

Loans granted

This item comprises loans measured at fair value, the fair value of which was estimated on the basis of contractual cash flows (per the contract) using the model of discounted cash flows, including the borrower's credit risk.

Other financial assets/liabilities

Receivables/payables due to the settlement of derivatives, whose date of payment falls two working days after the end of the reporting period were recognised in this item. These instruments were measured to fair value set per the reference price applied in the settlement of these transactions.

Currency and currency-interest derivatives

In the case of currency derivatives on the currency market and currency-interest transactions (CIRS), the forward prices from the maturity dates of individual transactions were used to determine their fair value. The forward price for currency exchange rates was calculated on the basis of fixing and appropriate interest rates. Interest rates for currencies and the volatility ratios for exchange rates were taken from Reuters. The standard Garman-Kohlhagen model is used to measure European options on currency markets.

Metals derivatives

In the case of derivatives on the commodity market, forward prices from the maturity dates of individual transactions were used to determine their fair value. In the case of copper, official closing prices from the London Metal Exchange were used, and with respect to silver and gold - the fixing price set by the London Bullion Market Association. Volatility ratios and forward prices for measurement of derivatives at the end of the reporting period were obtained from the Reuters system. Levy's approximation to the Black-Scholes model was used for Asian options pricing on metals markets.

Received long-term bank and other loans

The fair value of bank and other loans is estimated by discounting the cash flows associated with these liabilities in timeframes and under conditions arising from agreements, and by applying current rates.

Level 3

Loans granted

Loans granted measured at amortised cost in the statement of financial position are included in this category, because of the use of unobservable assumptions in the fair value measurement. With respect to estimating the fair value of these loans, a significant element of the estimation are the forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M., which are unobservable input data, and pursuant to IFRS 13 the fair value of these assets is classified to level 3 of the hierarchy. The discount rate adopted to calculate the fair value of loans measured at amortised cost is 9.13% (as at 31 December 2023, 9.13%).

The forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. which are the basis for the estimation of fair value of loans measured at amortised cost are the most sensitive to changes in copper prices, which implies other assumptions such as forecasted production and operating margin. Therefore the Group performed a sensitivity analysis of the fair value of loans to changes in copper prices, pursuant to IFRS 13 p.93.f. Price paths adopted as at 31 March 2024 have not changed compared to those adopted as at 31 December 2023.

Note 4.7 Management of commodity, currency and interest rate risk and of risk of changes in prices of energy and energy carriers in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group

Commodity, currency and interest rate risk management

In managing commodity, currency and interest rate risk, the scale and profile of activities of the Parent Entity and of the mining companies of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group is of the greatest significance for, and has the greatest impact on the results of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group.

The Parent Entity actively manages market risk by taking actions and making decisions in this regard within the context of the whole KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group's global exposure.

The primary technique used by the Group in market risk management is the use of hedging strategies involving derivatives. Natural hedging is also used. The Parent Entity applies hedging transactions, as understood by hedge accounting.

The impact of derivatives and hedging transactions on the items in the statement of profit or loss and on the statement of other comprehensive income of the Group is presented below:

The management of market risk in the Parent Entity, and especially the management of the risk of changes in metals prices, exchange rates and interest rates, should be considered through an analysis of the hedging position together with the position being hedged (hedged position). A hedging position is understood as the Parent Entity's position in derivatives. A hedged position is comprised of highly probable, future cash flows (revenues from the physical sale of products).

The notional amount of transactions hedging the risk of changes in the USD/PLN exchange rate settled in the first quarter of 2024 represented 20% of revenues from copper and silver sales realised by the Parent Entity in this period (in the first quarter of 2023, 24%).

In the first quarter of 2024, pursuant to the Market Risk Management Policy, the Parent Entity monitored and analysed on an ongoing basis the macroeconomic environment and the situation on financial markets, and also identified and measured market risk related to changes in metals prices, exchange rates and interest rates. In the first quarter of 2024, no hedging transactions were entered into on the metals, currency and interest rates markets.

In the first quarter of 2024, QP adjustment swap transactions were entered into on the copper and gold markets with maturities to June 2024, as part of the management of a net trading position1 .

As at 31 March 2024, the Parent Entity held an open derivatives position for:

  • 5.9 thousand tonnes of copper (entered into as a part of the management of a net trading position),
  • 14.2 million troy ounces of gold (entered into as a part of the management of a net trading position), and
  • USD 495 million of planned revenues from sales of metals.

Furthermore, as at 31 March 2024, the Parent Entity had loans with fixed interest rates and open Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (CIRS) transactions in the notional amount of PLN 2 billion, hedging both the sales revenues in the currency, as well as the variable interest rate of issued bonds. Commodity risk was also related to derivatives embedded in the purchase contracts for metal-bearing materials.

With respect to managing currency risk, the Parent Entity uses natural hedging by incurring liabilities in currencies in which it has revenues. As at 31 March 2024, the bank and investment loans which were drawn in USD, following their translation to PLN, amounted to PLN 3 200 million (as at 31 December 2023: PLN 2 648 million).

In the first quarter of 2024, none of the Group's mining subsidiaries had implemented any forward transactions on the commodity market or the currency market, and did not hold an open position on this market as at 31 March 2024.

Condensed tables of open transactions in derivatives held by the Parent Entity as at 31 March 2024, entered into as part of the strategic management of market risk, are presented below. The hedged notional amounts of transactions on the currency market in the presented periods are allocated evenly on a monthly basis. The condensed tables do not reflect opposite transactions (purchased versus sold) consistent with instrument, strike price, notional and maturity period entered into as part of restructuration and restructured hedging strategies.

* Settlements of interest payments are made periodically, on a half-year basis, until the moment of the realisation of the transaction. ** Reclassification of profits or losses on a cash flow hedging instrument from other comprehensive income to the statement of profit or loss takes place in the reporting period in which the hedged position impacts profit or loss (as an adjustment of a hedged position and to other operating income/costs for the settled hedging cost). However, the recognition of the result on the settlement of the transaction takes place on the date of its settlement.

All entities with which derivative transactions (excluding embedded derivatives) were entered into by the Group operated in the financial sector.

Taking into consideration the receivables due to open derivative transactions held by the Group (excluding embedded derivatives) as at 31 March 2024 and net receivables2 due to settled derivatives, the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 24%, or PLN 201 million (as at 31 December 2023: 24%, or PLN 246 million).

In order to reduce cash flows and at the same time to limit credit risk, the Parent Entity carries out net settlements (based on standard framework agreements entered into with its customers, regulating the trade of financial instruments, meaning ISDA or based on a formula of the Polish Bank Association). Moreover, the resulting credit risk is continuously monitored by reviewing the credit ratings and is limited by striving to diversify the portfolio while implementing hedging strategies.

The following table presents the structure of ratings of the financial institutions with which the Group entered into derivatives transactions, representing an exposure to credit risk.

Rating level As at
31 March 2024
As at
31 December 2023
Medium-high from A+ to A- according to S&P and Fitch,
and from A1 to A3 according to Moody's
78% 71%
Medium from BBB+ to BBB- according to S&P and Fitch,
and from Baa1 to Baa3 according to Moody's
22% 29%

Despite the concentration of credit risk associated with derivatives' transactions, the Parent Entity has determined that, due to its cooperation solely with renowned financial institutions, as well as continuous monitoring of their ratings, it is not materially exposed to credit risk as a result of transactions concluded with them.

The fair value of open derivatives of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group as at 31 March 2024 broken down into hedging transactions3 and trade transactions (including embedded and adjustment derivatives) and instruments initially designated as hedging instruments excluded from hedge accounting, is presented in the table below.

The fair value of open derivatives (assets and liabilities) as at 31 March 2024 has changed as compared to 31 December 2023 because of:

  • the settlement of transactions in derivatives with maturities in the first quarter of 2024, which were open at the end of 2023,
  • entering into new transactions on the forward market (adjustment transactions on the copper and gold market entered into as a part of the management of a net trading position),
  • the change in macroeconomic conditions (e.g. forward prices of copper, gold, USD/PLN forward rates, interest rates and volatility implied at the measurement date).

2 The Parent Entity offsets receivables and liabilities due to settled derivatives (that is for which the future flows are known at the end of the reporting period) pursuant to the principles of net settlements of cash flows adopted in framework agreements with individual customers. 3 Within the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, the Parent Entity applies cash flow hedge accounting (CFH).

Management of risk of changes in prices of energy and energy carriers

In market risk management resulting from changes in metals prices and currency, the scale and profile of activities of the Parent Entity is of the greatest significance and impact on the results of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. The risk of changes in prices of electricity and energy commodities is a commodity risk for the Parent Entity, the measurement of which is based on its impact on cash flows.

The Parent Entity's exposure to the risk of volatility in electricity prices, energy commodities and related merchandise involves the following markets:

  • electricity and natural gas, which are required to engage in mining and processing operations, including natural gas used to generate electricity to meet the Parent Entity's needs in its own generating sources,
  • CO2 emission allowances, which have to be redeemed due to the level of greenhouse gas emissions by installations operated by the Parent Entity being higher than the level of greenhouse gas emissions for which the Parent Entity received freely-granted allowances to emit CO2,
  • property rights to energy resulting from certificates of origin of energy from renewable sources (RES) and energy efficiency certificates (hereafter: property rights), subject to redemption (required for purposes of redemption due to the sale of electricity by the Parent Entity to end users as well as the consumption of purchased electricity for own needs).

The management of commodity price risk with respect to planned purchases of electricity and natural gas is based on the management of exposure to the risk of changes in the prices of electricity and natural gas in a time horizon of up to 36 subsequent months, resulting from electricity and gas purchase plans, less previously-signed purchase contracts with delivery in future periods.

In the case of changes in electricity prices, the source of exposure are sales prices in bilateral contracts and energy sales prices on the Polish Power Exchange, where the Parent Entity purchases electricity in forward products (RTEE) as well as on the intra-day and next-day market. Moreover, the Parent Entity entered into a contract for the supply of electricity from renewable energy sources under a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement), which was entered into to meet the own needs of the Parent Entity and, in accordance with the exemption provided for under IFRS 9 para. 2.4, is not subject to measurement and recognition as a financial instrument.

In the case of the risk of changes in gas prices, the source of exposure is a contract entered into with ORLEN S.A., according to which the price of the purchased gas largely depends on the prices quoted on the Polish Power Exchange for E-type gas (as regards both forward and SPOT contracts).

Commodity risk related to CO2 emission allowances is connected with the exposure to changes in the prices of emission allowances quoted in EUR on an exchange (e.g. European Energy Exchange) and in the EUR/PLN exchange rate, as well as differences in the utilisation of CO2 emission allowances by the Parent Entity from planned amounts. In terms of changes in the prices of CO2 emission allowances, the Parent Entity has a net short position, resulting from the obligation to redeem allowances due to CO2 systemic emissions which occur as a result of the combustion of coal within coal-bearing materials in installations functioning in the copper smelters, and also as a result of the combustion of gas in the CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine) blocks generating electricity to meet the Parent Entity's needs. In 2023, the Parent Entity purchased CO2 emission allowances in forward transactions to secure its own needs. Derivatives, which are acquired and maintained to secure own needs, are excluded under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and are not subject to measurement as at the end of the reporting period.

In terms of the risk of changes in property rights, the Parent Entity has a net short position resulting from the obligation to redeem property rights due to the sale of electricity to an end user as well as to the consumption of purchased electricity for own needs, while the source of exposure are mainly the prices of property rights on the wholesale market, (i.e. on the Polish Power Exchange). KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. sells electricity mostly to customers which provide services to the Parent Entity on properties belonging to KGHM Polska Miedź S.A..

Note 4.8 Liquidity risk and capital management in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group

Liquidity and capital management policy

The Management Board of the Parent Entity is responsible for financial liquidity management in the Group and compliance with the adopted policy. The Financial Liquidity Committee is a unit supporting the Management Board in this regard.

Capital management in the Group is aimed at securing funds for business development and maintaining the appropriate level of liquidity.

Due to the centralisation of the process of obtaining external financing for the entire KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group's needs at the Parent Entity's level, intra-group liquidity transfers are realised using debt and equity instruments. The main debt instrument used in intra-group liquidity transfers are owner loans, which support the process of investment activities.

Under the process of liquidity management, and with respect to supporting the current activities, the Group makes use of a supporting tool – local cash pooling in PLN, USD and EUR and internationally in USD. Cash pooling aims to optimise the management of cash held, limiting interest costs, efficient financing of current working capital needs and supporting short-term financial liquidity in the Group.

In the first quarter of 2024, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group showed a full capacity for meeting its obligations. The cash held and obtained external financing by the Group guarantee continued liquidity and enable the realisation of investment projects.

In accordance with market practice, the Group monitors the level of financial security, among others on the basis of the Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA ratio, the level of which as at the balance sheet dates is as follows:

Ratio 31 March 2024 31 December 2023
Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA* 1.48 1.06

List of material proceedings before courts, arbitration authorities or public administration authorities respecting the liabilities and debt of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and its subsidiaries

In the claim dated 26 September 2007, Plaintiffs (14 natural persons) filed a claim against KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. ("the Company") with the Regional Court in Legnica for the payment of royalties for the use by the Company of invention project no. 1/97/KGHM called "Sposób zwiększenia zdolności produkcyjnej wydziałów elektrorafinacji Huty Miedzi" (Method for increasing the production capacity of the electrorefining sections of the Metallurgical Plants) for the 8th calculation period, together with interest due. The amount of the claim (principal amount) was set by the Plaintiffs in the claim in the amount of approx. PLN 42 million (principal amount without interest and court costs), interest as of 31 March 2019 amounted to approx. PLN 55 million. On 21 January 2008, in the response to the claim, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. requested the dismissal of the claim in its entirety and filed a counter claim for the repayment of undue royalties paid for the 6th and 7th year of application of invention project no. 1/97/KGHM, together with interest due, also invoking the right of mutual set-off of claims. The amount of the claim (principal amount) in the counter claim was set by the Company in the amount of approx. PLN 25 million.

In a judgement dated 25 September 2018, the Regional Court in Legnica dismissed the counter claim and partially upheld the principal claim to the total amount of approx. PLN 24 million, and at the same time ordered the payment of interest in the amount of approx. PLN 30 million, totalling to PLN 54 million. Both parties to the proceedings appealed against this judgement.

In a judgement dated 12 June 2019, the Court of Appeal in Wrocław dismissed the appeals of both sides, altering the judgement of the court of first instance solely in the matter of the resolution of court costs from the hearings at the court of first instance and charging them to KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. The judgement is binding and was executed by KGHM on 18-19 June 2019. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. filed a cassation appeal against the judgement of the court of second instance, i.e. with respect to the partially upheld principal claim in the amount of approx. PLN 24 million as well as with respect to the dismissed counter-claim in the amount of approx. PLN 25 million. The plaintiffs did not file a cassation appeal.

The cassation appeal of KGHM was accepted for examination. In a judgement dated 24 November 2022 the Supreme Court overturned the disputed judgement and ordered the case to be reheard. The case is pending before the Court of Appeal in Wrocław.

The case files were forwarded to the Court of Appeal in Wrocław and registered under the new reference number I ACa 52/23. In view of the fulfilment of the obligation – there was no reason to create a provision. By letters dated 28 April and 4 May 2023 and additionally by a letter dated 25 May 2023, the Plaintiffs submitted a response to the restitution request contained in the preparatory letter of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. dated 4 May 2023, to which the declarations of the Plaintiffs on the disposal of cash obtained from the payment of receivables adjudicated by court judgements of the first and second instance were attached. By letter dated 13 June 2023, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. requested the return of the reply to the application for restitution filed without the required order of the presiding judge or alternatively to be allowed to file a preparatory pleading as a reply to the application, which in turn was opposed by the Plaintiffs by a pleading dated 30 June 2023.

By a ruling dated 27 October 2023, the Court of Appeal in Wrocław decided to request the Supreme Court to interpret the judgement dated 24 November 2022 (file ref. III PSKP 10/22) regarding the scope of the revocation of the judgement of the Court of Appeal dated 12 June 2019 (file ref. I ACa 547/18) by indicating whether the revocation includes in point II of the Court of Appeal's judgement only the ruling to the extent of dismissing the defendant's (counterclaimant's) appeal. On 17 November 2023, the lead plaintiffs' application to reassess this order was dismissed.

On 4 January 2024, the case files were forwarded to the Supreme Court and returned on 23 February 2024. By a ruling dated 6 February 2024, the Supreme Court explained that the judgment of the Supreme Court dated 24 November 2022 in case III PSKP 10/22 should be understood that the judgment dated 12 June 2019 of the Court of Appeal in Wrocław with file reference number I ACa 205/19 was revoked in the part challenged by the defendant and in this respect the case was remitted for reconsideration. By order of 19 March 2024, the Court of Appeal scheduled the appeal hearing for 8 May 2024. In accordance with the Company's position, the plaintiffs' claim should be dismissed in its entirety and the counter claim is justified. The Company in this regard paid the authors of the project royalties for a longer period of application of the project than anticipated in the initial contract entered into by the parties on advancing the invention project, based on an annex to the contract, extending the period of payment of royalties, whose validity is questioned by the Company. Moreover, the Company is questioning the rationalisation nature of the solutions, as well as whether they were in fact used in their entirety, and also their completeness and suitability for use in the form supplied by the plaintiffs as well as the means of calculating the economic effects of this solution, which were the basis for paying the royalties. The argumentation of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is additionally supported by the wording of the judgement of the Supreme Court dated 24 November 2022, which indicates the lack of cause to enter into an annex enabling the payment of additional remuneration to the Plaintiffs.

Information on single or multiple transactions entered into with related entities by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. or a subsidiary thereof, if they were entered into under other than arm's length conditions

During the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 March 2024, neither KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. nor subsidiaries thereof entered into transactions with related entities under other than arm's length conditions.

Information on sureties on bank and other loans or guarantees granted by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. or its subsidiaries – jointly to a single entity or subsidiary thereof, if the total amount of existing sureties or guarantees is significant

In the first quarter of 2024, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and its subsidiaries did not grant sureties on bank and other loans and did not issue guarantees - jointly to a single entity or a subsidiary thereof - for which the total amount of existing sureties or guarantees is significant.

Other information which in the opinion of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is significant for the assessment of its employment, assets, financial position and financial result and any changes thereto, and information which is significant for assessing the ability to pay its liabilities

On 11 March 2024, the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and trade unions being a party to the Collective Labour Agreement for the Employees of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., concluded an additional protocol to the Collective Labour Agreement increasing the monthly rates of basic remuneration by 9.2% from 1 January 2024.

Factors, which in the opinion of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., will impact the results of the Group over at least the following quarter

The most significant factors affecting the results achieved by the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, through the Parent Entity, including in particular over the following quarter, may be:

  • a) the ongoing war in Ukraine and tightening of economic sanctions and their potential impact on interruptions in the supply chain and the availability of materials and components, fuels and energy on international markets,
  • b) escalation of the conflict in Israel and its potential impact on the destabilisation of global economies, among other due to the increase in prices, the decrease in supply or disruptions in oil supplies,
  • c) lower-than-expected growth rate of global economies,
  • d) volatility in copper and silver prices on the metals markets,
  • e) volatility in the USD/PLN exchange rate,
  • f) volatility in electrolytic copper production costs, including in particular due to the minerals extraction tax, changes in the value of consumed purchased copper-bearing materials, volatility in prices of energy carriers and electricity,
  • g) the effects of the implemented hedging policy,
  • h) the pace and effects of the expiration of anti-inflation shields, manifesting themselves in fluctuations in prices of materials and services, as well as in wage pressure,
  • i) changes in the monetary policy of central banks and changes in interest rates,
  • j) the general uncertainty on financial markets.

The most significant factors affecting the results of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group through the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, including in particular over the following quarter, may be:

  • a) similarly as in the case of the Parent Entity, the ongoing war in Ukraine and escalation of the conflict in Israel and their potential impact on business continuity disruptions or business restrictions,
  • b) lower-than-expected growth rate of global economies,
  • c) volatility in the level of mining and the level of metal recovery,
  • d) volatility in copper, silver, gold prices,
  • e) the CLP/USD and USD/PLN exchange rates volatility,
  • f) volatility in the cost of copper mining production,
  • g) an increase in the prices of materials and services, wage pressure,
  • h) the general uncertainty on financial markets.

The above may affect the results of the Group in subsequent quarters. However, it is not possible to present quantitative estimates of the potential impact of current conditions on the results of the Group. To date, there has not yet been recorded a substantial negative impact of the above factors on the continuity of production of the Core Business, on sales or on the continuity of the supply chain for materials and services.

The Parent Entity continues to monitor the global economic situation, in order to assess its potential negative impact on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and to take anticipative actions to mitigate this impact.

Simultaneously, expectations of an increase in long-term metal prices, which may potentially affect the future valuation of assets are observed.

Note 5.6 Impact of the war in Ukraine on the operations of the Company and the Group

Key risk categories

The most significant risk categories related to the war in Ukraine which impact the Group's operations are:

  • interruptions in the supply chain and the availability of materials and components, fuels and energy on international markets,
  • lower-than-expected growth rate of global economies,
  • volatility in copper and silver prices on the metals markets,
  • volatility in the USD/PLN exchange rate,
  • volatility in electrolytic copper production costs, including in particular due to the minerals extraction tax, changes in the value of consumed, purchased copper-bearing materials and volatility in prices of energy carriers and electricity,
  • the general uncertainty on financial markets.

To assess the impact of the above-mentioned risk categories on the operation of the Group, the detailed analysis of information in the areas of production, sales, supply chain, personnel management and finance is carried out on an ongoing basis.

Impact on the metals market and shares price

From the point of view of the Group, the war in Ukraine has an impact on market risk connected with volatility in metals prices and stock exchange indices during the reporting period. The Company's share price at the end of the first quarter of 2024 fell by 7% compared to prices at the end of 2023 and at the close of trading on 28 March 2024 amounted to PLN 114.15. In the same period WIG index increased by 5.0% and WIG20 index increased by 4%. As a result of a change in share prices, the Company's capitalisation decreased from PLN 24.54 billion at the end of 2023 to PLN 22.83 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2024.

Uncertainty related to the volatility on the metals market, in particular copper, is the main factor influencing the level of generated revenues and as a result it may have an impact on the financial result. The average price of copper during the first quarter of 2024 amounted to 8 438 USD/t, and was at the level assumed in the budget. The average price of copper in the first quarter of 2024 increased by 3.4% compared to the average price of copper in the fourth quarter of 2023, while compared to the average price of copper in the entire year 2023, it decreased by 0.5%.

Impact on the fuels and energy carriers market as well as the availability of raw and other materials

Currently, the Group does not experience a significantly negative impact of volatility of supply chains on its business activities. It cannot be ruled out that the continuation of this armed conflict as well as the system of economic sanctions may have a significantly negative impact in subsequent periods on suppliers and customers of the Group and may lead to unfavourable deviations in the continuity of materials and services supply chains in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group as well as in the receipt of products, caused among others by logistical restrictions and the availability of materials, fuels and energy on international markets. Taking into consideration the continuity of supply of energy carriers (natural gas, coal, coke), at the present time, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group is fully capable of maintaining the continued operations of the core production business and of all production processes.

Impact on the activities of the Parent Entity and other group companies

Currently, the geopolitical situation related to the direct aggression of Russia against Ukraine and the implemented system of sanctions does not restrict the operations of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and other Group companies, while the risk of interruptions to the going concern of the Company and the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in this regard continues to be estimated as low.

The ongoing war in Ukraine, limited availability of Russian cathodes on European markets and the lack of production of the Ronnskar smelter in Sweden (the fire in June 2023) have already been discounted by the market, and do not constitute an additional factor affecting the sales results of basic copper products in the first quarter of 2024. Increased logistical difficulty of shipments, Houthi attacks on ships on civilian shipping lanes in the Red Sea and the tense geopolitical situation in the Middle East caused disruptions in the availability of copper in Europe, which resulted in additional demand for cathodes. In the first three months of the year, there was also very good demand for copper semi-finished products (ETP wire rod and OFE wire). The high market demand included orders from many sectors that demand cables, wires and other final products of copper processing. In particular, it is worth mentioning the good economic situation in the energy sector, driven by the transformation of energy sources in Europe.

With respect to the availability of capital and the level of debt, the Group does not hold bank loans drawn from institutions threatened with sanctions.

Preventive actions in the Group

There were no production stoppages either in KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. or in any of the international mines of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, including Sierra Gorda S.C.M., which could have been directly attributable to the war in Ukraine.

There have been no significant changes in the payment morality of customers, and therefore the payment of receivables in the Group takes place without any major disturbances.

Currently, the strategy of diversification of suppliers applied by the entire KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and the use of alternative solutions effectively mitigates the risk of interruptions in the supply chains of raw and other materials.

Due to the centralisation of the process of obtaining external financing for the entire Group's needs, the realisation of intragroup liquidity transfers is made using a debt instrument in the form of owner loans, which support the process of investment activities, and to support current activities the Group uses local and international cash pooling.

The Group continues to advance its investment projects in accordance with established schedules and therefore does not identify any increase in risk related to their continuation due to the war in Ukraine.

No significant, negative impact of the aforementioned factors has been recorded on the continued operations of the core production business, sales or continuity of the supply chain for materials and services yet. The Parent Entity continuously monitors the global economic situation in order to assess its potential negative impact on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and to take preventive actions to mitigate this impact.
