Impact of the threat of a COVID-19 pandemic on sales markets

Noticeable economic slowdown in the third quarter of 2023, following the shock caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, still affects the level of Chinese international commercial trade (decrease in export and import as compared to the corresponding period of 2022). Nonetheless, while observing the current situation, the Parent Entity is not experiencing a substantial threat to its on-going operations related to the situation on the Chinese market. The Parent Entity continuously monitors the global economic situation, including the Chinese market, to assess its potential negative impact on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and to take pre-emptive actions to mitigate this impact.

The impact of the war in Ukraine on individual aspects of the business and the lack of its impact as well as the going concern assumption are described in Note 5.7.

Note 1.2 Structure of the Group

As at 30 September 2023, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. consolidated 61 subsidiaries and used the equity method to account for the shares of two joint ventures (Sierra Gorda S.C.M. and NANO CARBON Sp. z o.o. in liquidation).

Note 1.4 Accounting policies and the impact of new and amended standards and interpretations

The following quarterly report includes:

    1. the condensed consolidated financial statements of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2023 and the comparable period from 1 January to 30 September 2022, together with selected explanatory information (Part 1),
    1. the quarterly financial information of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2023 and the comparable period from 1 January to 30 September 2022 (Part 2).

Neither the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2023 and as at 30 September 2023 nor the quarterly financial information of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2023 and as at 30 September 2023 were subject to audit by a certified auditor.

The consolidated quarterly report for the period from 1 January 2023 to 30 September 2023 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 2022 and the Consolidated annual report SRR 2022.

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 2022.

Note 1.4.1 Impact of new and amended standards and interpretations

From 1 January 2023, the Group is bound by:

  • IFRS 17 Insurance contracts and amendments to IFRS 17 published in 2020 and 2021,
  • Amendments to IAS 1 and Practice Statement 2 on disclosures of accounting policies,
  • Amendments to IAS 8 on the introduction of a definition of accounting estimates,
  • Amendments to IAS 12 on deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction,
  • Amendments to IAS 12 on temporary exception to the requirements regarding recognition of deferred tax related to the implementation of the reform of the international tax system (the so-called pillar two, BEPS 2.0 (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting 2.0)).

Up to the date of publication of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the aforementioned amendments to the standards were adopted for use by the European Union. The Group will implement these amendments within the date of their first mandatory application, however in the Group's opinion IFRS 17 will not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements, and the impact of other amendments will not be significant. In particular, the Group applied an approach in accordance with the amended guidelines with respect to amendments to IAS 12 on recognition of deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising from a single transaction (e.g. lease agreements capitalised by lessee pursuant to IFRS 16 and environmental provisions recognised pursuant to IFRIC 1).

Impact of the international tax system reform

Pillar 2 of the BEPS 2.0 project introduces a general framework of the global minimum tax, adopted during the forum of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD, hereafter: OECD Framework). In the case of member states of the European Union, the first stage of implementation of new rules will be the adoption of the Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 14 December 2022 – Directive on ensuring a global minimum level of taxation for multinational enterprise groups and large-scale domestic groups in the European Union. The Directive obliges the individual member states to implement rules of the Directive to their domestic legal systems, in accordance with legislative rules in force in individual states.

In the case of Poland, appropriate domestic laws have not yet been adopted, nor has draft legislation, which will directly impose duties on the obliged entities, been released to the public. The analysis of the OECD Framework and the Directive leads to the conclusion that KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., as a so-called MNE (multinational enterprise), will be obliged to report a specific level of the tax rate of subsidiaries at the level of individual jurisdictions.

Nevertheless, implementation of an appropriate legal framework at the domestic level is necessary in this regard. While the rules of the Directive should encompass the year 2024, the OECD Framework includes a transitional period, which postpones the obligations in this regard by 3 subsequent years. Based on analysis of the assumptions stipulated in these transitional rules, it is expected that the Group will be able to use them in the majority of jurisdictions.

Due to the above, since there is no legal framework in force on the reform of pillar 2 of the BEPS 2.0 project, these interim consolidated financial statements do not contain any amounts arising from the reform of the international tax system.

The Group will continuously monitor progress of the legislative work aimed at implementation of the rules of the reform of pillar 2 of the BEPS 2.0 project, in Poland as well as in other jurisdictions in which subsidiaries of the Group operate and will analyse their potential impact on the Group.

2 – Realisation of strategy

Note 2.1 Development directions of the Group

Policy regarding the development directions of the Group

During the reporting period being discussed, policy regarding the development directions of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group was continued.

* Entity sold on 3 August 2023 (Note 5.1).

** Entities merged on 1 August 2023 (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, interest in subsidiaries (including indirect interest 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 performance of segments on the basis of 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.

As at 30 September 2023, the Company redefined the adjusted EBITDA and included in its calculation methodology the depreciation/amortisation due to expenses by nature (so far, the depreciation/amortisation was recognised in profit or loss).

Therefore, the information presented below on segments was appropriately adjusted with respect to adjusted EBITDA and depreciation/amortisation in the first and second quarter of 2023 as well as the first 9 months of 2022.

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. Liabilities which have not been allocated to the segments comprise trade liabilities and deferred corporate tax liabilities.

In the first nine months of 2023, there was an increase in ore extraction (dry weight) by 302.1 thousand tonnes as compared to the corresponding period of 2022. Copper content increased to 1.47% due to extraction from a rich deposit.

Copper production in concentrate amounted to 303.2 thousand tonnes and was higher by 7.9 thousand tonnes (+2.7%) as compared to the first 9 months of 2022. An Increase in production is a result of a higher extraction of a better quality ore by the mines and its processing by the Concentrators.

As compared to the corresponding period of 2022, there was an increase in electrolytic copper production by 1.0 thousand tonnes. The increase in cathode production is a result of meeting the targets set in the production plan for 2023.

Production of metallic silver amounted to 1 080 tonnes and was higher by 80.3 tonnes (+8.0%) as compared to the first 9 months of 2022. Higher production of metallic silver results from the availability of feed material at the Precious Metals Plant.

Production of metallic gold amounted to 83.3 thousand troy ounces and was higher by 21.5 thousand troy ounces (+34.8%) as compared to the first 9 months of 2022. Higher production of metallic gold is a result of higher processing of goldbearing materials.

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 nine months of 2023 amounted to PLN 20 583 million and were higher by 12% as compared to the corresponding period of 2022, mainly due to realisation of a higher sales volume of copper from inventories and the higher minerals extraction tax, higher labour costs and costs of consumption of materials, fuels and energy carriers.

As compared to the first 9 months of 2022, total expenses by nature in the first 9 months of 2023 were higher by PLN 1 386 million alongside the higher by PLN 497 million minerals extraction tax (in the period from January to November 2022, the tax rate was 30% lower) and lower by PLN 904 million costs of consumption of purchased metal-bearing materials due to 12.7 thousand tonnes of copper lower volume of consumption with a 6% lower purchase price.

The increase in expenses by nature, excluding purchased metal-bearing materials and the minerals extraction tax, amounted to PLN 1 793 million and resulted mainly from the following increases:

  • − labour costs by PLN 577 million due to higher wage rates, coal equivalent and provision for future employee benefits,
  • − costs of materials, technological fuels, electrical and other energy by PLN 560 million mainly due to higher purchase prices,
  • − costs of external services by PLN 330 million, mainly due to overhauls and maintenance as well as mine preparatory work.

C1 cost for the first nine months of 2023 amounted to 3.01 USD/lb and was higher by 26% than in the corresponding period of 2022. The increase in this cost was mainly caused by the higher mineral extraction tax and higher extraction and metallurgical processing costs due to the aforementioned factors.

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 44 728 PLN/t (in the comparable period of 2022: 38 202 PLN/t) and was higher by 17%, mainly due to aforementioned higher extraction and smelting costs alongside an increase in copper production from own concentrate by 5%.

The total unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate amounted to 33 436 PLN/t and was higher by 24% as compared to the first nine months of 2022.

Financial results

The Company recorded a profit for the first 9 months of 2023 in the amount of PLN 1 737 million, or PLN 1 801 million lower than for the corresponding period of 2022.

1) McCreedy West mine in the Sudbury Basin

The Robinson mine significantly increased the copper production in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the previous quarter. After the first 9 months, the production volume of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. is still significantly (-49%) below the level recorded in the corresponding period of 2022, which is a result of processing ore from the transition zone and inventories with relatively low quality, which led to the decrease in recovery and copper content in concentrate produced by the Robinson mine. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Robinson aims to reach the proper part of the Ruth West deposit, which has significantly better ore parameters than the currently mined transition zone. Therefore, it is expected that production results of the Robinson mine will improve.

The revenues of the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first 9 months of 2023 amounted to USD 399 million, which is a decrease by USD 111 million (-22%) as compared to the corresponding period of 2022. First and foremost, the decrease in revenues is an effect of the results of the Robinson mine, which are still below production targets. Moreover, revenues in 2023 do not include Franke (the mine was sold in April 2022 and from the start of 2022 up to the moment the asset was sold its revenues amounted to USD 31 million). It should be noted that the revenues from mining services provided by the DMC Mining Services companies increased by 30%.

The impact of individual factors on the change in revenues is presented in the subsection on the financial results of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.

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 cash cost of copper production for all of the mines in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first 9 months of 2023 amounted to 5.32 USD/lb of copper sold, or nearly three-times more than in the corresponding period of 2022. The increase in this cost is due to the aforementioned problems with production by the Robinson mine and the related drop in copper sales volume. Also of significance were write-downs and adjustments of inventories, whose impact on the level of costs is discussed in the subsection on the financial results.

Moreover, it should be stressed that in 2022 work was carried out to gain access to the Robinson mine's Ruth West deposit, as a result of which some of the stripping costs were capitalised and not recognised in the results. However, in the period from January to September 2023 extraction was carried out in a transitional zone and the scope of access work, and therefore capitalisation of stripping costs, was significantly lower than in the corresponding period of 2022.

Unfavourable impact on C1 also came from the lower deductions due to the sale of precious metals, mainly due to the decline in gold production and sales by the Robinson mine.

In the first 9 months of 2023, Sierra Gorda S.C.M. increased its ore processing by 1% as compared to the corresponding period of 2022, however due to the quality parameters (lower copper content) and lower copper recovery, there was a decrease in payable copper production (-12%). Lower content and recovery were the main reason behind the decrease in production in the third quarter of 2023 as compared to the second quarter of 2023.

As to the molybdenum production, there was an increase in content of this metal, which in conjunction with the increase in processing volume contributed to the increase in payable molybdenum production by 27% as compared to the first 9 months of 2022.

Revenues

In the first 9 months of 2023, revenues amounted to USD 1 065 million (on a 100% basis), or PLN 2 479 million proportionally to the interest held (55%).

From January to September 2023, cash expenditures on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, presented in Sierra Gorda S.C.M.'s statement of cash flows, amounted to USD 352 million, and the majority of it, that is USD 202 million, represented expenditures on stripping to gain access to further areas of the deposit. The increase in cash expenditures is related to the increased scope of access work and the increase in extraction cost.

Note 4.6 Involvement in joint ventures

During the comparable period, a change in partnership with the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. was made. On 22 February 2022, the sale transaction of 45% share in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. by Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. and Sumitomo Corporation to South32 Limited, an Australian mining group with its head office in Perth, was concluded. The transaction took place on the basis of sales agreements entered into on 14 October 2021.

The new partner of the Group is a globally diversified mining and metallurgical company with production plants in Australia, South Africa and South America. The company produces among others aluminium, metallurgical coal, manganese, nickel, silver, lead and zinc.

As at 30 September 2023, none of the agreements regulating the cooperation between the JV partners in the Sierra Gorda S.C.M. has been modified. Sierra Gorda S.C.M. had an off-take agreement signed with the companies Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. and Sumitomo Corporation, pursuant to which they had the right to off-take 50% of the copper concentrate. The right to off-take 50% of the copper concentrate is not in force with respect to South32 Limited.

* Despite the share of the Group in profit of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. for the reporting period in the amount of PLN 122 million (USD 27 million), the Group settled PLN 1 million of unsettled losses of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. from prior years. The increase in the USD/PLN exchange rate as at 30 September 2022 (4.9533) compared to the USD/PLN exchange rate as at 31 December 2021 (4.06) resulted in an increase in negative net assets of Sierra Gorda S.C.M., and the resulting exchange differences exceeded the share of the Group in profit of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. for the reporting period.

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 scenario analysis and the available free cash of Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

Pursuant to the requirements of IFRS 9.5.5.17, the Group performed measurement 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. Scenario analysis was based on cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M., which were subsequently discounted using the effective interest rate method 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 30 September 2023, the assumptions adopted to estimate cash flows on repayment of receivables due to loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. estimated by the Group used have not changed in relation to the assumptions as at 30 June 2023.

As at 30 September 2023, the Group estimated the expected cash flows on repayment of receivables due to loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M., as a result of which, pursuant to the requirements of IFRS 9.5.5.14, a gain due to a reversal of allowances for impairment in the amount of PLN 493 million (USD 120 million) was recognised.

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).

There was no transfer in the Group of financial instruments between individual levels of the fair value hierarchy in the reporting period.

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

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 risk-free 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 is 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 transactions 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 the Reuters system. 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 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 amounts to 9.27% (as at 31 December 2022, 9.75%).

The forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M., which are the basis for estimating the fair value of loans measured at amortised cost, are the most sensitive to copper price volatility, which affects other assumptions, such as forecasted production and operating margin. Therefore the Group, pursuant to IFRS 13 p.93.f, performed a sensitivity analysis of the fair value of loans to copper price volatility. Price paths adopted for loans measurement as at 30 September 2023 have not changed compared to those adopted as at 31 December 2022.

Note 4.8 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 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 of the Group, on the items in the statement of comprehensive income and the statement on financial position 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).

In the first three quarters of 2023, copper sales of the Parent Entity amounted to 444.5 thousand tonnes (net sales of 288 thousand tonnes)1 , while the notional amount of copper price hedging strategies settled in this period amounted to 141.8 thousand tonnes, which represented approx. 32% of the total sales of this metal realised by the Parent Entity and approx. 49% of net sales in this period (in the first three quarters of 2022, 24% and 40% respectively). The notional amount of settled silver price hedging transactions represented approx. 8% of sales of this metal by the Parent Entity (in the first three quarters of 2022, 20%). In the case of currency transactions, approx. 26% of revenues from copper and silver sales realised by the Parent Entity in the first three quarters of 2023 were hedged (11% in the first three quarters of 2022).

In the third quarter of 2023, 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 third quarter of 2023, no hedging transactions were entered into on the metals, currency and interest rates markets.

In terms of managing the net trading position2 in the third quarter of 2023 so-called QP adjustment swap transactions were entered into on the copper and gold markets with maturity periods falling in December 2023.

As at 30 September 2023, the Parent Entity held an open derivatives position for:

  • 56.25 thousand tonnes of copper (including: 47.25 thousand tonnes arose from the strategic management of market risk, while 9 thousand tonnes came from the management of a net trading position),
  • 1.05 million troy ounces of silver, and
  • USD 903.75 million of planned revenues from sales of metals.

Furthermore, as at 30 September 2023 the Parent Entity had loans with fixed interest rate 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 borrowing in currencies in which it has revenues. As at 30 September 2023, the bank and investment loans which were drawn in USD, following their translation to PLN, amounted to PLN 3 253 million (as at 31 December 2022: PLN 2 980 million).

In the third quarter of 2023, 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 30 September 2023. However, some of the Group's Polish companies managed the currency risk related to their core business by opening transactions in derivatives on the currency market. A listing of the open transactions of Polish companies as at 30 September 2023 is not presented due to its immateriality for the Group.

Condensed tables of open transactions in derivatives held by the Parent Entity as at 30 September 2023, entered into as part of the strategic management of market risk, are presented below. The hedged notional amounts of transactions on the copper, silver and currency markets in the presented periods are allocated evenly on a monthly basis. The tables do not reflect opposite transactions (purchase versus sale) consistent with instrument, strike price, notional and maturity period, entered into as part of restructuration and restructured hedging strategies.

1 Copper sales less copper in purchased metal-bearing materials.

2 Applied for the purpose of reacting to changes in customers' contractual terms, the occurrence of non-standard pricing in metal sales and the purchase of copper-bearing materials.

* Collar structures, i.e. purchased put options and sold call options were designated as hedging under seagull options structures (CFH – Cash Flow Hedging).

** Settlements of interest payments are made periodically, on a half-year basis, until the moment of the realisation of the transaction.

*** Reclassification of profit 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 profit or loss on the settlement of the transaction takes place at 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 30 September 2023 and net receivables3 due to settled derivatives, the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 20%, or PLN 163 million (as at 31 December 2022: 17%, or PLN 260 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
30 September 2023
As at
31 December 2022
Medium-high from A+ to A- according to S&P and Fitch, and from A1 to A3
according to Moody's
77% 84%
Medium from BBB+ to BBB- according to S&P and Fitch, and from Baa1
to Baa3 according to Moody's
23% 16%

Despite the concentration of credit risk associated with derivatives' transactions, the Parent Entity has determined that, due to its cooperating 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 30 September 2023, broken down into hedging transactions4 and trade transactions (including embedded and adjustment derivatives) and instruments initially designated as hedging instruments excluded from hedge accounting, is presented in the tables below.

The fair value of open derivatives (assets and liabilities) as at 30 September 2023 has changed as compared to 31 December 2022 as a result of:

  • the settlement of transactions in derivatives with maturities falling in the first three quarters of 2023, which were open as at the end of 2022,
  • entering into new transactions on the forward market,
  • the change in macroeconomic conditions (e.g. forward prices of copper, silver, gold, USD/PLN and EUR/PLN forward rates, interest rates and volatility implied as at the measurement date).

3 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. 4 Within the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, the Parent Entity applies cash flow hedge accounting (CFH).

Note 4.9 Liquidity risk and capital management

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, the realisation of intra-group liquidity transfers is made 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 shortterm financial liquidity in the Group.

In the third quarter of 2023, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group showed a full capacity for meeting its obligations. The cash held and external financing obtained by the Group guarantee continued liquidity and enable the realisation of investment projects.

In accordance with adopted market practice, the Group monitors the level of financial security, among others on the basis of the Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA ratio presented in the table below:

Ratio 30 September 2023 31 December 2022
Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA* 1.2 0.8

*Net debt does not include reverse factoring liabilities.

**Adjusted EBITDA for the period of 12 months ended on the last day of the reporting period, excluding the adjusted EBITDA of the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

Liabilities due to guarantees granted

Guarantees are essential financial liquidity management tools of the Group, thanks to which the Group's companies and the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. do not have to use their cash in order to secure their liabilities towards other entities.

As at 30 September 2023, the Group held liabilities due to guarantees granted in the total amount of PLN 1 278 million and due to promissory note liabilities in the amount of PLN 222 million.

The most significant items of liabilities due to guarantees granted are liabilities of the Parent Entity aimed at securing the following obligations:

- Sierra Gorda S.C.M. – a corporate guarantee in the amount of PLN 962 million (USD 220 million) set as security on a bank loan drawn by Sierra Gorda S.C.M. The guarantee is valid until September 2024. The carrying amount of the liability due to a financial guarantee granted was recognised in the amount of PLN 31 million*,

- other entities, including the Parent Entity:

  • PLN 142 million securing the proper execution by the Parent Entity of future environmental obligations related to the obligation to restore terrain, following the conclusion of operations of the Żelazny Most tailings storage facility, the guarantee is valid for up to 1 year,
  • PLN 100 million securing the obligations of the Parent Entity arising from a surety agreement signed between KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., Dom Maklerski Banku Ochrony Środowiska S.A. and Izba Rozliczeniowa Giełd Towarowych S.A., the guarantee is valid up to 1 year,
  • PLN 16 million securing claims for the Group to cover costs related to collecting and processing waste, the guarantee is valid up to 5 years,
  • PLN 39 million (PLN 8 million, USD 1 million, EUR 4 million and CAD 2 million) securing the obligations related to proper execution of agreements concluded by the Group, the guarantee is valid up to 5 years,
  • PLN 2 million securing obligations related to tax and customs duties, the guarantee is valid indefinitely.

Based on the knowledge held, at the end of the reporting period the Group assessed the probability of payments resulting from liabilities due to guarantees granted as low.

* Financial guarantee was recognised pursuant to par. 4.2.1. point c of IFRS 9.

Guarantee set under the Tailings Storage Facility Restoration Fund

Guarantee securing potential claims against the Parent Entity in connection with art. 137 section 2 of the Act of 14 December 2012 on waste, based on which the manager of a tailings storage facility is obliged to create a restoration fund comprised of cash to execute the obligations related to closure, restoration, and oversight, including monitoring of the tailings storage facility. The fund may be in the form of a separate bank account, provisions or a bank guarantee. In 2022, the Parent Entity changed the form of the Tailings Storage Facility Restoration Fund from a bank account to a bank guarantee. As at 30 September 2023, the guarantee amounted to PLN 120 million.

On 13 March 2023, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. concluded an Agreement for the sale of 100% of the shares of KGHM TOWARZYSTWO FUNDUSZY INWESTYCYJNYCH SPÓŁKA AKCYJNA ("Shares") with Agencja Rozwoju Przemysłu S.A. ("Buyer"). The sale of the Shares was contingent on meeting the conditions precedent, including among others no objections raised by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority.

The sale of the Shares is the last stage of the reorganisation under the Group's structure, which comprised the liquidation of closed-end, non-public investment funds.

At the turn of the half-year, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority issued a decision on a lack of objections to the acquisition of shares by the Buyer. On 27 July 2023 the transaction was concluded.

On 3 August 2023, the buyer of the shares, i.e. Agencja Rozwoju Przemysłu S.A. was entered into the Share Register as the owner of 100% of the shares of KGHM TFI S.A.

Due to the insignificant value, the main groups of assets and liabilities of the company classified to a Disposal group were not presented in the note.

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

Proceedings regarding royalties for use of invention project no. 1/97/KGHM called "Method for increasing the production capacity of the electrorefining sections of the Metallurgical Plants"

In the claim dated on 26 September 2007, Plaintiffs (14 natural persons) filed a claim against KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. 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) and interest as at 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 judgment 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 amount of PLN 54 million. Both parties to the proceedings appealed

against this judgment.

In a judgment dated 12 June 2019, the Court of Appeal in Wrocław dismissed the appeals of both sides, altering the judgment 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 judgment is binding and was executed by KGHM on 18-19 June 2019. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. filed a cassation appeal against the judgment of the court of second instance, i.e. with respect to the partially upheld principal claim of the plaintiffs 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 was registered. In a judgment dated 24 November 2022 the Supreme Court overturned the disputed judgment and ordered the case to be reheard. The case is pending before the Court of Appeal in Wroclaw.

In accordance with the Company's position, the plaintiffs' claim should be dismissed in its entirety and the counter claim is justified. The Company paid royalties to the authors of the project 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 solution, as well as whether the project was in fact used in its entirety, and also its 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 judgment of the Supreme Court dated 24 November 2022, which indicates the lack of cause to enter into an appendix enabling the payment of additional royalties 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 2023 to 30 September 2023, neither KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. nor subsidiaries thereof entered into transactions with related entities under other than arm's length conditions.

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

In the third quarter of 2023, 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 value of the 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 22 August 2023, 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. (CLA) signed an agreement regarding: advance payment of an additional annual bonus for the first half of 2023 and an additional one-off bonus for this period. Pursuant to the above agreement, the parties agreed that:

    1. Taking into account the macroeconomic conditions and the results achieved by the Company for the first 6 months of 2023, the amount of the advance payment for the additional annual bonus, referred to in point 10 - 12 of annex No. 11 to the CLA, for the first half of 2023 will amount to 3%.
    1. The parties to the CLA, appreciating the significant contribution of employees to the realisation of production targets, agreed upon the payment of an additional bonus in the amount of 2% of the remuneration specified in annex No. 11 to the CLA, so that the total payment to the employee would amount to 5% of the remunerations for the first half of 2023.

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 destabilization of global economies, among other due to the increase in oil prices,
  • c) the political situation in Chile and the tax burden related to the introduced tax reform,
  • d) the possible recession of global economies as a result of the inflation and energy crisis, war in Ukraine as well as the conflict in Israel and observed economic slowdown,
  • e) volatility in copper and silver prices on the metals markets,
  • f) volatility in the USD/PLN exchange rate,
  • g) volatility in electrolytic copper production costs, including in particular due to the minerals extraction tax, changes in the value of consumed copper-bearing materials and volatility in prices of energy carriers and electricity,
  • h) the effects of the implemented hedging policy,
  • i) the general uncertainty on financial markets, and
  • j) inflation and related to this monetary policy of central banks and changes in interest rates.

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

  • a) similarly as in the case of the Parent Entity, the ongoing war in Ukraine and the escalation of the conflict in Israel and the potential impact of these factors on business continuity disruptions or business restrictions,
  • b) the possible recession of global economies as a result of the inflation and energy crisis, war in Ukraine as well as the conflict in Israel and observed economic slowdown,
  • c) volatility in the level of mining and the level of metal recovery,
  • d) volatility in copper, silver, gold and molybdenum prices,
  • e) volatility in the CLP/USD and USD/PLN exchange rates,
  • f) volatility in mined copper production costs, and
  • g) an increase in the prices of materials and services,
  • h) the general uncertainty on financial markets.

Taking into consideration the ongoing war in Ukraine, the outbreak of a new armed conflict in Israel and the observed economic slowdown, especially in the world's largest economies, as well as the inflation and energy crisis, there still remains uncertainty regarding the development directions of the economic and social situation in Europe and globally.

The above may affect the results of the Group in subsequent quarters. It is not possible however to provide 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 above-mentioned factors on the continuity of the Core Production Business, sales or the continuity of the materials and services supply chain.

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.

On the other hand, there are expectations of an increase in long-term metal prices, which may potentially affect the future valuation of assets.

Note 5.6 Assessment of the risk of impairment of assets of the Group in the context of the market capitalisation of the Company

In the first three quarters of 2023, there was still uncertainty on the stock markets as to the development of the global macroeconomic situation in reaction to the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine and its consequences, including, above all, continued high inflation readings in the majority of global economies. In this period the share price of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. fell by 12% compared to the share price at the end of 2022, and as at 29 September 2023 it amounted to PLN 111.95. As a result, the Company's market capitalisation decreased from PLN 25 350 million to PLN 22 390 million, which means that as at 30 September 2023 it remained 29.04% below the level of the Company's net assets.

Due to the fact that, during the reporting period, the Company's market capitalisation was below the carrying amount of its net assets, in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of assets, the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. conducted an analysis to determine whether any area of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.'s activities could be impaired.

The analysis of the assets located in Poland indicated that not all of the factors which affect the market capitalisation of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. are factors which are related to the conducted economic activities.

From the point of view of the Company's operations, the key factor influencing the level of market capitalisation is the copper price. In the first three quarters of 2023, the average price of copper amounted to 8 585 USD/t, which is at a lower level than prices recorded in 2022 (average of 8 797 USD/t). The share prices of companies involved in the mining and processing of copper are strongly correlated with the price of this metal.

In the case of the Polish assets, of significant importance are PLN-expressed metals prices, which are also affected by the USD/PLN exchange rate. In the first three quarters of 2023 the average USD/PLN exchange rate amounted to 4.2337, which is the level lower than the exchange rate recorded in 2022 (average of 4.4679). It should be noted that despite the decrease of the USD/PLN exchange rate, it remained at a higher level than in the previous years (prior to 2022), which is also a "base effect", that is a very abrupt and significant strengthening of the US dollar in 2022 due to investors' reaction to the armed conflict in Ukraine.

Despite the continued uncertainty in the economic environment, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. maintains full operational capacity and consistently advances planned production and sales targets. The financial results achieved by the Company significantly exceed the budget targets, which is also a result of conducted optimisation initiatives and cost discipline applied in response to macroeconomic conditions.

The Company continued actions aimed at accessing the subsequent parts of the copper deposit and construction of the necessary mining infrastructure. Current, long-term production plans are up to 2055 and in the current period no indications were identified that could negatively impact the future availability of deposits. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. continues exploration work within its concessions and concession proceedings aimed at ensuring the resource base appropriate for operating activities and prolonging mine life.

In the case of the international assets, in the current period there was a worsening of the operating and financial results of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD., mainly as a result of the decrease in production of the Robinson mine due to lower extraction, lower copper content in ore and lower recovery (lower-quality ore in a transition zone). However, the aforementioned events are of a temporary nature and will not determine the long-term financial results achieved by KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. and the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. It is planned that in the fourth quarter of 2023 the main part of Ruth West 5 deposit will be reached, and it has significantly better ore parameters than the currently-mined transition zone. Therefore, according to plans, the production results of the Robinson mine will improve.

As a result of the assessment, it was judged that there was no relation between the fall in the share price of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and the activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in Poland as well as abroad. Consequently, there were no indications identified suggesting the risk of impairment of the Polish and international production assets, therefore no tests for impairment were conducted for these assets as at 30 September 2023.

Due to the uncertainty and the significant volatility of basic economic parameters, including metals prices and currency exchange rates, the Group is continuously monitoring the global situation.

Note 5.7 Impact of the war in Ukraine on the operations of the Company and the Group

Taking into consideration the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine and the observed economic slowdown, especially in the world's largest economies, as well as the inflation and energy crisis, there still remains uncertainty regarding the directions of development of the economic and social situation in Europe and globally.

The greatest impact on the operations and results of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group is from the Parent Entity and - to a lesser extent - the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group.

Key risk categories

The most significant risk factors related to the war in Ukraine and impacting the Company's and the Group's activities are:

  • − interruptions in the supply chain and the availability of materials and components, fuels and energy on international markets;
  • − the possible global economic recession as a result of the inflation and energy crisis and observed economic slowdown;
  • − volatility in copper and silver prices on the metals markets;
  • − volatility in molybdenum prices;
  • − 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 purchased copper-bearing materials consumed and volatility in prices of energy carriers and electricity;
  • − the effects of the implemented hedging policy;
  • − the general uncertainty on financial markets, and
  • − further increase in prices of fuels and energy carriers.

Evaluation of the key categories of risk which are impacted by war in Ukraine, underwent detailed analysis by the on-going monitoring of selected information in the areas of production, sales, supply chains, personnel management and finance, in order to support the process of reviewing the current financial and operating situation of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. As a result, the aforementioned threats did not have a significantly negative impact on the Group's operations and ultimately did not cause any deviations from the achievement of the budget targets for the third quarter of 2023. Details on the operating results of the segments are presented in Part 1 in Note 3.

Impact on the metals market and shares price

From the Company's point of view, an effect of the war in Ukraine, is its impact on market risk related to volatility in metals prices and market indices in the reporting period. The Company's share price at the end of the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 0.4% compared to the price at the end of the first half of 2023 and fell by 12% compared to the end of 2022 and at the close of trading on 29 September 2023 amounted to PLN 111.95. During the same periods the WIG index fell by 3% and increased by 14%, and WIG20 index fell by 7% and increased by 7%. As a result of changes in the share price, the Company's capitalisation decreased from PLN 22.48 billion at the end of the first half of 2023 to PLN 22.39 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2023.

The average price of copper for the period from the first to the third quarter of 2023 amounted to 8 584.75 USD/t, which was higher than assumed in the budget. The average price of copper for the period from the first to the third quarter of 2023 decreased by 1.4% compared to the average price of copper in the first half of 2023, and by 2.4% compared to the average price of copper in the entire year2022.

Impact on the fuels and energy carriers markets and on the availability of raw and other materials

Individual deviations have been observed in the availability of raw and other materials, however, at present, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group still does not experience a substantially negative impact of this volatility on its operations. Taking into consideration the continuity of supply of energy carriers (natural gas, coal, coke), the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group is fully capable of maintaining the continuity of the Core Production Business and of all production processes.

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

The geopolitical situation associated with the direct aggression of Russia on Ukraine and the implemented system of sanctions does not currently limit the operations of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and other Group companies, while the risk of interruptions to the operational continuity of the Company and of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in this regard continues to be considered as low.

Despite the high inflation observed in the global economy, resulting in the tightening of monetary policy, the demand for the Company's key products did not deteriorate significantly in the first quarter of 2023. However, in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease in demand for wire rod and wire was observed compared to the first quarter of 2023 due to the stagnation in the construction and energy sectors and the general slowdown of the European economy, which is reflected in a decrease in the number of orders from end customers. During the holiday months (July - August 2023), a seasonal decline in customer orders was observed, related to the holiday period and customer maintenance shutdowns. In September 2023, there was a rebound in demand for wire rod and wire, which translated into a higher sales volume of this group of copper products. Throughout the third quarter of 2023, demand for copper cathodes in Europe was significantly lower than in the first two quarters of the year.

In terms of the availability of capital and the level of debt, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. holds no bank loans drawn from institutions threatened with sanctions.

Preventive actions in the Group

In KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. as well as in all international mines of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and Sierra Gorda S.C.M., no production stoppages which would have been directly attributable to the war in Ukraine were recorded.

KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. has a developed policy related to the credit risk management and monitors receivables on a regular basis. The timeliness of payment of receivables by customers is subject to daily reporting, while any delays in payments are immediately explained with customers. There have been no significant changes in the payment morality of customers, and therefore the inflow of receivables to the Parent Entity takes place without any major disturbances.

The strategy of diversification of suppliers applied by the entire KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and the use of alternative solutions effectively, at this point in time, mitigates the risk of interruptions in the supply chains of raw and other materials. The Group is fully capable of meeting its financial obligations. The cash held by the Group and the obtained borrowings guarantee its continued financial liquidity. The Group's financing structure, at the level of the Parent Entity, is based on long-term and diversified sources of financing, provided the Company and the Group with long-term financial stability by maintaining a stable spread of debt maturities and optimising its cost.

Due to the centralisation of the process of obtaining external financing for the needs of the entire Group, in order to transfer liquidity within the Group, a debt instrument in the form of owners loans is used to support the investment process, and the Group uses local and international cash pooling to service its daily operations.

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.

In the Company, the process is continued of implementing a comprehensive business continuity management system, which also enables a detailed breakdown of the scope of actions undertaken as regards managing corporate risk in terms of the risk of a catastrophic impact and the small probability of its occurrence.

With respect to stability and the continuity of energy carriers supply chains, the directions of energy-climate geopolitics will be of importance, including the effects of the policy of tightening the economic sanctions by the EU and its Member States. The European Union continues bilateral and multilateral cooperation with third countries in order to counteract the growing problem of circumvention of EU sanctions. 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.
