5.5. SEASONALITY

The activity of the Group shows no significant seasonality except for the revenue from the commodity market which shows seasonality during the year (the revenue of the first and last months of the year is higher than the revenue for the other

quarters of the year). Stock prices and turnover depend largely on local, regional, and global trends impacting the capital markets, which makes revenue from the financial market cyclical.

5.6. SEGMENT REPORTING

Segment information is disclosed in these Financial Statements based on components of the entity which are monitored by the Group's chief decision maker (Exchange Management Board) to make operating decisions.

5.7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE OUTBREAK OF WAR IN UKRAINE

In February 2022, armed conflict broke out in Ukraine. In view of the impact of the conflict on the political and economic situation in Europe and the world, the GPW Group took into account the recommendations of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority issued on 2 March 2022 for issuers of securities and carried out an analysis of the impact of the war on current operations and on the ability of the GPW Group companies to continue as a going concern in the next 12 months.

As the GPW Group companies do not have business operations in Russia and Ukraine, the war in this region does not directly affect the presented and future financial results of the Group. The Group's financial results may be affected by the situation on the gas and electricity market in connection with the operation of a commodity exchange for the trading of these commodities.

The GPW Group analysed the depreciation rates for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets applied to assets held as at 30 June 2023 and identified no need to change the estimates used.

The Group considers that the outbreak of war did not affect the judgements made in the measurement of lease liabilities or the existing classification of financial assets under IFRS 9.

As at 30 June 2023, the GPW Group held PLN 498.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term financial assets in the form of bank deposits and guaranteed corporate bonds. These represent sufficient financial resources to conclude that the Group's liquidity risk in the short to medium term is low.

The Group does not hold any material foreign currency assets and therefore exchange rate fluctuations due to uncertainty in the foreign exchange markets would be immaterial to the financial statements.

The GPW Group monitors the amount of trade receivables on an ongoing basis, especially trade receivables from counterparties related to parties involved in the armed conflict. As at 30 June 2023, no significant receivables were identified in this group of counterparties.

Details of the identified risks related to the pandemic and the outbreak of the armed conflict in Ukraine on the Company's and the Group's operations and financial position are presented in Note 2.7 to the Management Board Report on the Activity of the Parent Company and the Warsaw Stock Exchange Group for 2022 and in Note 7.1 to the Interim Report of the Warsaw Stock Exchange Group for the six months of 2023.

The Exchange Management Board and the Management Boards of the Group companies monitor the situation related to the above-mentioned factors on an ongoing basis and will take appropriate action, including informing the market, if new factors emerge that could have a material impact on the GPW Group's operations and financial results.

In the opinion of the GPW Management Board, at the time of publication of this report, the Group has not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or circumstances that might cast significant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern. The prolonged conflict, actions taken by the Polish government, the European Union authorities and NATO, and the related uncertainty on the financial markets may affect the operations and financial results of the GPW Group companies in the future. As at the date of publication of this report, it is not possible to estimate that impact.

5.8. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

5.8.1. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES – GRANTS, GUARANTEES

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

As at 30 June 2023, the Group recognised a contingent liability in respect of an overdue VAT correction. Acting in the interest of GPW shareholders, pursuant to point 92 of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the Group is not disclosing the estimated amount of the potential payable (see: Note 5.9).

As at 30 June 2023, the Group held bank guarantees issued in favour of:

• NordPool in the amount of EUR 15.0 million effective to 16 June 2024,
• Slovenská Elektrizačná Prenosová Sústava (SEPS) in the amount of EUR 4.5 million effective to 30 June 2024,

The Group guarantees the due performance by the subsidiary InfoEngine of its payment obligations under the Transmission Agreement concluded between InfoEngine and PSE. The amount of the guarantee is PLN 2.0 million.

5.8.2. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES – TRANSACTIONS WITH IRL POLSKA SP. Z O.O.

The subsidiary IRGiT provides clearing and settlement of transactions in forward instruments on the electricity exchange market, to which IRL Polska Sp. z o.o. ("IRL") is a party. As a result of its failure to file VAT returns (JPK files), IRL was removed from the VAT taxpayer register on 12 September 2022. IRL is subject to the provisions of the Act of 13 April 2022 on special solutions to counteract the support of aggression against Ukraine and to protect national security, and was included in the sanction list. IRL is a member of the Clearing House and has entered into a self-invoicing agreement with IRGiT, under which IRGiT, which is the technical party to transactions on the TGE market, issues invoices on behalf of and for the account of IRL. Such invoices document the delivery of electricity, where IRGiT is named as the buyer of electricity. Between September 2022 and the end of March 2023, input VAT resulting from invoices issued in self-invoicing was not deducted by IRGiT. As a result of internal consultations, analysis of the regulations, and two opinions confirming the right to deduct input VAT, it was decided to submit corrections to the tax returns for the periods from September 2022 to March 2023, recognising the amounts of input VAT, and it was decided to settle on an ongoing basis, starting from April 2023, the input VAT from invoices issued by IRL to IRGiT in self-invoicing. IRGiT was reporting the amount of tax payable in the aforementioned period, and the VAT corrections will result in a reduction in the amount of tax payable. Consequently, in addition to the corrections to the tax returns, IRGiT submitted applications for the declaration of overpayment for each of the corrected accounting periods.

In the opinion of the management board of the parent entity, supported by tax opinions, the actions taken with regard to the settlement of input VAT were reasonable and compliant with the law. There was a risk that the Tax Authority may challenge the above procedure; however, the management board of the parent entity estimated that the probability of a favourable court ruling in potential overpayment proceedings is high.

As a result of the above circumstances, as at 30 June 2023, the Group presents a VAT receivable of PLN 10.9 million under trade receivables and other receivables. On the other hand, the input VAT related to transactions with IRL settled in April-June 2023 of approximately PLN 4.0 million represent a contingent liability as at 30 June 2023.

5.8.3. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES – INDUSTRIAL DISPUTE AT GPW

On 1 June 2023, an industrial dispute arose with the Trade Union of Stock Exchange Employees ("ZZPG"). The dispute arose as a result of the refusal to comply with the demands of the ZZPG concerning, among others, the payment of an inflationary benefit at GPW, which for 2023 would amount to at least 15% of the annual gross base salary of GPW employees. The Company notified the competent district labour inspector that a dispute had arisen and entered into negotiations in good faith. On 4 July 2023, a record of divergence at the negotiation stage was drawn up. The parties to the dispute entered the second stage provided by law, i.e., the mediation stage, and are in the process of selecting a mediator. Due to the Management Board's position emphasising the adaptability of GPW's incentive system to market conditions, the probability of a material financial impact, at this stage of the dispute, is considered to be low.

5.9. UNCERTAINTY ABOUT VAT

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

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

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

IRGiT has developed a tax strategy in that regard in partnership with independent tax advisors.

Due to uncertainty concerning the time of settlement of input and output VAT in all open periods and the amount of the aforementioned VAT payable, guided by the principles of prudence, in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, provisions were set up at PLN 33.0 million as at 30 June 2023 (PLN 30.2 million as at 31 December 2022) against interest that will arise in the event of a shift in the VAT deduction period. After an update of the provisions, the Group recognised financial income of PLN 2.8 million (financial expense of PLN 0.4 million in Q2 2022). The provisions represent the best possible estimate of the potential liability as at 30 June 2023 which would have to be paid upon an amendment of the existing methodology of determining the time of origination of the tax liability and the deduction right.

From the tax perspective, there is a risk arising from the statute of limitation (five years) concerning the recognition of output VAT reported in November 2016: once recognised under general VAT regulations, due to the application of the lex specialis concerning the time of origination of tax on electricity and gas deliveries, the tax would be deferred to December 2016 and consequently recognised for a second time without the right to correct the accounts for November, which would be in direct violation of the principle of VAT neutrality. According to regulations, if a liability arises in December, it does not expire until 1 January of the sixth consecutive year. Tax liabilities arising from January to November expire on 1 January of the fifth consecutive year (as such liabilities are payable in the year when they originate). Literal application of those rules could however result in double VAT imposed on deliveries. Consequently, acting in the interest of GPW shareholders, pursuant to point 92 of IAS 37, the Group is not disclosing the estimated amount of the contingent liability.

5.10. EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

On August 8, 2023, the Tax Authority returned to IRGiT bank account the amount of input VAT related to transactions with IRL, settled in September, October and December 2022 and in the period from January to March 2023, in the total PLN 9.2 million. (issue described in note 5.8.2.)
