Neither the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2023 and as at 31 March 2023 nor the quarterly financial information of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2023 and as at 31 March 2023 were subject to audit by a certified auditor.

The consolidated quarterly report for the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 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.

Note 1.4.1 Impact of new and amended standards and interpretations

From 1 January 2023, the following amendments to standards came into force:

  • 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.

Up to the date of publication of these 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, with respect to amendments to IAS 12, the Group applied an approach to the 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) in accordance with the amended guidelines.

3 –Information on operating segments and revenues

Note 3.1 Operating segments

The operating segments identified in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group reflect the structure of the Group, the manner in which the Group and its individual entities are managed and the regular reporting to the Parent Entity's Management Board.

As a result of the aggregation of operating segments and taking into account the criteria stipulated in IFRS 8, the following reporting segments are currently identified within the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group:

Reporting segment Operating segments aggregated in
a given reporting segment
Indications of similarity of economic characteristics of
segments, taken into account in aggregations
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Not applicable (it is a single operating and reporting segment)
KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Companies of the KGHM
INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, in
which the following mines, deposits
or mining areas and mining
enterprises constitute operating
segments: Sudbury Basin, Robinson,
Carlota, DMC, Victoria and Ajax
projects.
Operating segments within the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.
Group are located in North and South America.
The Management Board analyses the results of the following
operating segments: Sudbury Basin, Robinson, Carlota,
Victoria and Ajax projects and other. In addition, the
Management Board receives and analyses reports on the whole
KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group. Operating segments are
engaged in the exploration and mining of copper,
molybdenum, silver, gold, nickel, platinum and palladium
deposits.
The operating segments were aggregated based on the
similarity of long term margins achieved by individual
segments, and the similarity of products, processes and
production methods.
Sierra Gorda S.C.M. Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (joint venture) Not applicable (it is a single operating and reporting segment)
Other segments This item includes other Group
companies (every individual
company is a separate operating
segment).
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.

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. 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.

Production of metallic silver t 374.9 339.8 +10.3
Production of gold koz t 30.9 21.1 +46.4

In the first 3 months of 2023, there was an increase in ore extraction by 128.6 thousand tonnes (dry weight) as compared to the corresponding period of 2022. Copper content in ore decreased slightly to the level of 1.46% as a result of lower content of the mined deposit.

Copper production in concentrate amounted to 100.5 thousand tonnes and was higher by 0.5 thousand tonnes (+0.5%) as compared to the first 3 months of 2022. The increase in production was a result of higher extraction and processing of ore. As compared to the corresponding period of 2022, there was a decrease in electrolytic copper production by 2.1 thousand tonnes. The decrease in cathode production was a result of execution of an investment task related to the modernisation of electrolyte heat exchangers of individual circulation systems in the tank hall of the Głogów I Copper Smelter and Refinery.

Metallic silver production amounted to 375 tonnes and was higher by 35.1 tonnes (+10%) as compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase in metallic silver production was a result of availability of feed in the Precious Metals Plant.

Metallic gold production amounted to 30.9 thousand troy ounces and was higher by 9.8 thousand troy ounces (+46%) as compared to the first quarter of 2022. The higher metallic gold production was a result of the higher amount of gold-bearing materials processed.

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 2023 amounted to PLN 7 373 million and were higher by 24% as compared to the corresponding period of 2022, mainly due to higher volume of sales of copper products and higher costs, mainly due to higher purchase prices of materials, fuels and energy as well as labour costs.

In the first three months of 2023, total expenses by nature as compared to the corresponding period of 2022 were higher by PLN 1 116 million, alongside a mineral extraction tax higher by PLN 224 million, mainly due to 30% lower rates in force in the period from 1 January to the end of November 2022. The cost of consumption of purchased metal-bearing materials was at the level similar to the one recorded in the corresponding period of 2022 alongside a higher consumption by 1 thousand tonnes of copper (+2%) and 2% lower purchase price.

The increase in expenses by nature, excluding purchased metal-bearing materials and the minerals extraction tax, amounted to PLN 885 million and resulted mainly from an increase in costs of technological materials, fuel and energy and energy carriers (due to an increase in prices), as well as labour costs (due to an increase in wage rates).

C1 cost for the first three months of 2023 amounted to 3.08 USD/lb and was higher than in the corresponding period of 2022 by 28%. The increase in this cost was mainly due to higher costs of materials, fuels and energy, lower valuation of by-products due to the lower prices of silver and higher minerals extraction tax.

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 43 451 PLN/t (in the corresponding period of 2022: 33 492 PLN/t) and was higher by 30% mainly due to higher costs of materials, fuels and energy, higher minerals extraction tax alongside higher production from own concentrate by 3%. The pre-precious metals credit unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate, excluding the minerals extraction tax, amounted to 34 530 PLN/t (in the corresponding period of 2022: 26 000 PLN/t).

The total unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate amounted to 31 980 PLN/t and was higher than for the first quarter of 2022 by 45%, and after excluding the minerals extraction tax, this cost was at the level of 23 059 PLN/t (in the corresponding period of 2022: 14 485 PLN/t).

Financial results

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a profit for the period of PLN 482 million, or PLN 843 million lower than in the corresponding prior-year period.

1) McCreedy West mine in the Sudbury Basin

Copper production in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first quarter of 2023 amounted to 7.6 thousand tonnes and was significantly lower than the level achieved in the first quarter of 2022. This decrease concerns the Robinson mine and is mainly related to the change in mining sequence. In the first quarter of 2023, the ore was mined from the transitional zone of the deposit, with lower copper content and quality parameters than the ore mined in 2022.

The quality of processed ore had a significant impact on the achieved processing parameters (mainly recovery and copper content in concentrate) and as a result on the volume of payable copper production, which was lower by 58% than the amount achieved in the previous year. Moreover, extreme weather conditions contributed to the significant decrease in efficiency of utilisation of mining machinery, which lead to a decrease in extraction volume. In the Company's opinion, the production targets of the segment KGHM International Ltd. for 2023 (54 thousand tonnes of payable copper) will not be met, while the production in subsequent years is not threatened and will return to the amounts assumed in the long-term mining production plans.

The increase in extraction and metals content were decisive factors in the significant increase in copper and precious metals production in the Sudbury Basin.

1) Reflects processing premium

A significant part of the volume of sales f KGHM International Ltd. was realised from inventories for 2022, which to a certain degree lessened the negative effects of lower production in Robinson. As a result, the revenues of the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first quarter of 2023 amounted to USD 163 million, or a decrease by USD 47 million as compared to the corresponding period of 2022, of which USD 9 million was due to a lower volume of sales, and USD 33 million was due to lower copper prices.

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

Cash cost of copper production for all mines in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first quarter of 2023 amounted to 5.00 USD/lb of sold copper and was two times higher than in the first quarter of 2022. The increase in this cost is, among others, a consequence of the aforementioned production difficulties of the Robinson mine and the resulting decrease in copper sales volume.

Moreover, in the first quarter of 2022 the access work was conducted on the Ruth West deposit, and therefore a part of stripping costs was capitalised and was not recognised in the profit or loss. Moreover, in the first quarter of 2023 the extraction was conducted on the proper deposit and a lack of capitalisation of costs resulted in a decrease in the profit or loss by USD 33 million as compared to the first quarter of 2022.

Write-down of inventories of ore and concentrate as well as quantity corrections of inventories had a significant impact on the results of the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Total amount of impairment losses recognised in expenses by nature for the first quarter of 2023 is USD 43 million.

As compared to the situation in the corresponding period of 2022, smelter treatment and refining charges increased. Lower deductions due to sale of precious metals, mainly due to lower sales of gold by Robinson and lower prices of platinum and palladium, also had an unfavourable impact on the C1.

The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is a joint venture (under the JV company Sierra Gorda S.C.M.) and the Australian mining group South 32.

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 Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements.

Production results

Ore processing by Sierra Gorda S.C.M. decreased by 2% as compared to the first quarter of 2022, mainly due to the lower efficiency of utilisation of production assets (increase in unplanned shutdowns due to breakdowns).

1) Payable metal in concentrate

Payable copper production amounted to 34.4 thousand tonnes, or an annual decrease by 21% due to the aforementioned lower processing, as well as lower copper content in ore and copper recovery. Lower processing and recovery were the main factors behind the decrease in molybdenum production.

Sales

Revenues from sales in the first quarter of 2023 amounted to USD 389 million (on a 100% basis), or PLN 932 million proportionally to the interest held in the company Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (55%).

The decrease in revenues by USD 132 million as compared to the level achieved in the corresponding period of 2022, is mostly a result of lower sales volume (lower production).

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

Costs

The cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses incurred by the company Sierra Gorda S.C.M. amounted to USD 242 million, including cost of sales of USD 211 million and total selling costs and administrative expenses of USD 31 million. The costs of the segment, proportionally to the interest held (55%), amounted to PLN 580 million.

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

Compared to the period from January to March 2022, the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses expressed in USD million was lower by USD 31 million (-11%). The decrease was a result of lower volume of production and sales of metals. The increase in costs mainly concerned the following items of expenses by nature before their reclassification and capitalisation of costs associated with accessing the deposit for future extraction:

  • − external services an increase by USD 10 million (+17%) due to higher rates and scope of contracted work, maintenance and repairs,
  • − wages an increase by USD 4 million (+14%) higher employment and inflation, negative impact of USD/CLP exchange rate,
  • − fuels and oils an increase by USD 2 million (+9%) mainly due to an increase in diesel prices.

Change in inventories and work in progress amounted to -USD 5 million versus -USD 50 million in the first quarter of 2022. However, the capitalised stripping costs to prepare the deposit for future extraction amounted to USD 78 million (USD 24 million in the first quarter of 2022).

Apart from the aforementioned factors, the decrease in the volume of copper sales contributed to the increase in cash cost of copper production (C1) by 10%.

Financial results

Profit or loss

In the first quarter of 2023, adjusted EBITDA amounted to USD 229 million, of which proportionally to the interest held (55%) PLN 550 million is attributable to the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group.

The level of cash expenditures was lower by USD 13 million than the one realised in the corresponding period of 2022 due to the acquisition of the Oxide project from KGHM International Ltd., which was recognised in cash flows from investing activities for the first quarter of 2022 (in the first quarter of 2023 there were no such transactions). Moreover, there was an increase in expenditures with respect to capitalised stripping.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company did not make use of financing in the form of increases in the share capital and did not make payments to repay the principal amount or interest on a loan granted by the owners for the mine construction (in the first quarter of 2022 the repayment amounted to USD 200 million, of which USD 110 million is attributable to the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group).

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.

Sensitivity analysis of the carrying

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 9.75% (as at 31 December 2022, 9.75%).

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 2023 have not changed compared to those adopted as at 31 December 2022.

Note 4.7 Commodity, currency and interest rate risk management in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group

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 comprehensive income 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 quarter of 2023, copper sales of the Parent Entity amounted to 157 thousand tonnes (net sales of 104 thousand tonnes)1 , while the notional amount of copper price hedging strategies settled in this period amounted to 47.25 thousand tonnes, which represented approx. 30% of the total sales of this metal realised by the Parent Entity and approx. 45% of net sales in this period (in the first quarter of 2022, 23% and 35% respectively). The notional amount of settled silver price hedging transactions (1.05 million ounces) represented approx. 9% of sales of this metal by the Parent Entity (in the first quarter of 2022, 21%). In the case of currency transactions, approx. 24% of revenues from copper and silver sales realised by the Parent Entity in the period from 1 January to 31 March 2023 were hedged (in the first quarter of 2022, 5%).

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

In the first quarter of 2023, QP adjustment swap transactions were entered into on the copper and gold markets with maturities to June 2023, as part of the management of a net trading position2 .

As at 31 March 2023, the Parent Entity held an open derivatives position for:

  • 148.75 thousand tonnes of copper (of which 141.75 thousand tonnes arose from the strategic management of market risk, while 7 thousand tonnes came from the management of a net trading position),
  • 3.15 million troy ounces of silver, and
  • USD 2 546 million of planned revenues from sales of metals.

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

2 Applied in order to react to changes in contractual arrangements with customers, non-standard pricing terms as regards metals sales and the purchase of copper-bearing materials.

Furthermore, as at 31 March 2023 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 borrowing in currencies in which it has revenues. As at 31 March 2023, the bank and investment loans which were drawn in USD, following their translation to PLN, amounted to PLN 3 379 million (as at 31 December 2022: PLN 3 435 million).

In the first 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 31 March 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 31 March 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 31 March 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 condensed tables do not reflect restructured and opposite positions (purchased versus sold) of transactions entered into as part of restructuration consistent with instrument, strike price, notional and maturity period.

* 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 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 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 19%, or PLN 238 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
31 March 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 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 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 31 March 2023 has changed as compared to 31 December 2022 because of:

  • the settlement of transactions in derivatives with maturities in the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 March 2023, which were open at the end of 2022,
  • entering into new adjustment transactions (commodity swap) on the forward metals market,
  • the change in macroeconomic conditions (e.g. forward prices of copper, silver, USD/PLN forward rates, interest rates and volatility implied 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 4.8 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 and CAD. 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 2023, 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 order to maintain financial liquidity and the creditworthiness to acquire external financing at an optimum cost, over the long term the Group's goal is for the ratio of Net Debt/EBITDA to be no more than 2.0. The ratio level as at the balance sheet dates is as follows:

Ratio 31 March 2023 31 December 2022
Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA* 0.9 0.8

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

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. 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 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 PLN 54 million. Both parties to the proceedings appealed against this judgment.

In a judgment dated 12 June 2019, the Court of Appeal in Wroclaw 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 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 files were transferred to the Court of Appeal in Wroclaw and registered under the new reference number I ACa 52/23. The court obliged the parties to submit preparatory letters containing the current stance on the case.

In accordance with the Company's stance, 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 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 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 2023 to 31 March 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 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 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 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

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., during the wage negotiations which were held from 24 to 26 January 2023, reached an agreement on wage and employee benefits, introducing the following wage shaping elements in the current year:

    1. an increase in the monthly basic wage rate by 13.2%,
    1. upward employee categorisation covering 20% of employees,
    1. payment of a one-off gratification in the pre-tax amount of PLN 2 thousand per 1 employee, contingent on:
    2. − achievement of planned production in the first half-year,
    3. − continuation of the average copper price at a level not lower than planned in the budget.

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 the system of economic sanctions and their potential impact on:
    • i) higher prices of fuels and energy carriers,
    • ii) interruptions in the supply chain and the availability of materials (e.g. steel), fuels and energy on international markets,
  • b) the dynamic political situation in Chile and its potential impact on the tax burden related to the activities conducted there,
  • c) the possible global economic recession as a result of the inflation and energy crisis, the war in Ukraine, as well as the observed economic slowdown,
  • d) exceptional legal changes as a result of the ongoing war in Ukraine,
  • 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 purchased copper-bearing materials, 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) an increase in the prices of materials and services.

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 its potential impact on business continuity disruptions or business restrictions,
  • b) the possible global economic recession as a result of the inflation and energy crisis and the war in Ukraine, as well as the observed economic slowdown,
  • c) volatility in copper, silver, gold and molybdenum prices,
  • d) the CLP/USD and USD/PLN exchange rates volatility,
  • e) volatility in the cost of copper mining production,
  • f) an increase in the prices of materials and services.

In the reporting period, the Group did not record a negative impact of factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the uncertainty related to their impact in subsequent periods is considered as low. However, taking into consideration the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine and observed economic slowdown, especially of the largest global 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 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 situation in Ukraine, in particular the end of the conflict, will be important for the domestic and global economy and it could have an positive impact on the stability of the international fuel and energy market and the stability of the supply chain. 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.

Note 5.6 Assessment of the risk of impairment of assets of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in the context of the market capitalisation of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

In the first quarter 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 in the majority of global economies. As a result, stock market indices, which suffered greatly since the beginning of the conflict, did not record significant signs of improvement. In the first three months of 2023, the share price of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. fell by 4% compared to the share price at the end of 2022, and as at 31 March 2023 it amounted to PLN 122.25. During the same period the WIG 20 index fell by 2% and WIG index increased by 2%. As a result, the Company's market capitalisation decreased from PLN 25 350 million to PLN 24 450 million, which means that as at 31 March 2023 it remained 19% below the level of the Company's net assets.

Due to the fact that, during a significant part of the reporting period, the Company's market capitalisation remained 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.

The persistently low share prices concerned companies in the majority of sectors, in different economies, and reflected investor uncertainty as to the future. In particular, the armed conflict in Ukraine caused withdrawal of foreign investors from areas bordering the war zone, which can be seen not only in the situation on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, but also on exchanges in the region, such as in Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary.

From the point of view of the Group's operations, the key factor influencing the level of market capitalisation is the copper price. In December 2022, the average price of copper amounted to 8 367 USD/t, and in March 2023 it increased to 8 836 USD/t. The share prices of companies involved in the mining and processing of copper are strongly correlated with the price of this metal.

It should be pointed out that in the case of the Polish assets, of importance are PLN-expressed metals prices, which are also affected by the USD/PLN exchange rate. Fluctuations in the price of copper related to the turbulence on the financial markets, whose origins may often be found not only in macroeconomics but also in broadly understood geopolitics, are usually offset by changes in the USD/PLN exchange rate to a large extent.

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

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. The Company carries out the production and sales targets 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 there were no tests for impairment conducted for these assets as at 31 March 2023.

Due to the uncertainty and the significant volatility of basic economic parameters, including metals prices and currency exchange rates, and dynamic development of the domestic and global pandemic situation, and its impact on the economic situation, the Company is continuously monitoring the global situation.

Note 5.7 Information on the impact of Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine on the Company's and the Group's operations

In the reporting period, the Group did not record a negative impact of factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the uncertainty related to their impact in subsequent periods is assessed as low. However, taking into consideration the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine and observed economic slowdown, especially of the global 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, could have an impact on the Company's and the Group's activities are:

  • − further increase in the prices of fuels and energy carriers;
  • − interruptions in the supply chain and the availability of materials (e.g. steel), fuels and energy on international markets;
  • − the possible global economic recession as a result of the inflation and energy crisis, as well as the observed economic slowdown;
  • − potential exceptional legal changes;
  • − 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
  • − an increase in the prices of materials and services.

Evaluation of the key categories of risk which are impacted by the war in Ukraine underwent detailed analysis by the ongoing 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 substantially negative impact on the Group's operations and finally did not cause deviation in the achievement of the budget assumptions for the first quarter of 2023.

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 first quarter of 2023 decreased by 4% compared to the price at the end of 2022 and at the close of trading on 31 March 2023 amounted to PLN 122.25. During the same period the WIG index increased by 2% and WIG20 index fell by 2%. As a result of changes in the share price, the Company's capitalisation decreased from PLN 25 350 million at the end of 2022 to PLN 24 450 million at the end of the first quarter of 2023.

The average price of copper in the first quarter of 2023 amounted to 8 927 USD/t, which was higher than assumed in the budget. The average price of copper in the first quarter of 2023 increased by 11.6% compared to the average price of copper in the fourth quarter of 2022 and by 1.5% compared to the average price of copper in 2022.

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

While individual deviations have been observed in the availability of raw and other materials, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group still not experience substantially negative impact of this volatility on its operations. Taking into consideration the continuity of supply of energy carriers (natural gas, coal, coke), at present the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group does not experience a negative impact from the suspension of Russian natural gas, coal and coke deliveries, and 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 against 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 the monetary policy, the demand for the Company's key products did not deteriorate significantly in the first quarter of 2023.

In terms of the availability of capital and the level of debt, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. does not hold any bank loans drawn from institutions threatened with sanctions.

With respect to exchange differences (the currency conversion of balance sheet items), a weakening of the PLN may result in foreign exchange gains (unrealised) due to the fact that the amount of the loans granted by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in USD is higher than the amount of borrowings in USD.

In terms of other companies of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, the situation in Ukraine in the first quarter of 2023 did not have a substantial impact on the operating results generated by these entities.

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 developed procedures 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 costumers, and therefore the inflow of receivables in the Parent Entity takes place without 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.

The Group is fully capable of meeting its financial obligations. The financial resources 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 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 their occurrence.

With respect to stability and the continuity of energy carriers supply chains, the directions of energy-climate geopolitics will be of importance, especially in the context of gaining independence by European countries from Russian deliveries of natural gas and coal and the effects of the economic sanctions imposed by the EU and its Member States on Russia, Belarus and Iran. Russia's aggression against Ukraine also has an impact on food security, high prices of energy and the Producer Price Index, as well as problems with access to synthetic fertilizers. The Parent Entity continuously monitors the international 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.

On 11 May 2023, the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. adopted a resolution in respect of which it submits a proposal to the Ordinary General Meeting of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. to adopt a resolution on the appropriation of profit for 2022, in the amount of PLN 3 533 million, by:

  • − paying out a dividend in the amount of PLN 200 million (PLN 1.00 per share),
  • − transferring the amount of PLN 3 333 million to the Company's reserve capital.

Moreover, the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. proposes that the Ordinary General Meeting of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. set the dividend date at 27 July 2023 and the dividend payment date at 10 August 2023.

The amount of recommended dividend is a result of the assessment of capital needs associated with the realisation of the Strategy, including planned expenditures on Resource Base Development projects and energy transformation while simultaneously maintaining the safe level of debt of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group.

The above proposal of the Management Board was positively reviewed by the Supervisory Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

The final decision regarding the appropriation of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.'s profit for 2022 will be made by the Ordinary General Meeting of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
