Orange Polska S.A. ("Orange Polska" or "the Company" or "OPL S.A."), a joint stock company, was incorporated and commenced its operations on 4 December 1991. The Orange Polska Group ("the Group") comprises Orange Polska and its subsidiaries. The Group is a part of Orange Group based in France. Orange Polska shares are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
The Group is one of the biggest providers of telecommunications services in Poland. The Group provides mobile and fixed telecommunications services, including calls, messaging, content, access to the Internet and TV. In addition, the Group provides IT and integration services, leased lines and other telecommunications value added services, sells telecommunications equipment, provides data transmission, constructs telecommunications infrastructure and sells electrical energy.
Orange Polska's registered office is located in Warsaw, Poland, at 160 Aleje Jerozolimskie St.
The list of entities included in the Condensed IFRS Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group (the "Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements") as at and for the 3 months ended 31 March 2022 is presented in Note 1.2 to the Orange Polska Group IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements ("IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements") for the year ended 31 December 2021. Additionally, in March 2022, the Group purchased 100% of the shares in Interkam Sp. z o.o., Interkar Sp. z o.o. and Telewizja Światłowodowa Kaszebe Sp. z o.o. (see Note 7).
The Group reports a single operating segment as decisions about resources to be allocated and assessment of performance are made on a consolidated basis. Group performance is currently evaluated by the Management Board based on revenue, EBITDAaL, net income, eCapex (economic capital expenditures), organic cash flows, net financial debt and net financial debt to EBITDAaL ratio based on cumulative EBITDAaL for the last four quarters.
Since the calculation of EBITDAaL, eCapex, organic cash flows, and net financial debt is not defined by IFRS, these performance measures may not be comparable to similar indicators used by other entities. The methodology adopted by the Group is presented below.
EBITDAaL is the key measure of operating profitability used by the Management Board and corresponds to operating income before gains/losses on disposal of assets, depreciation, amortisation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, impairment of the rights of perpetual usufruct of land historically recognised as property, plant and equipment and subsequently reclassified to right-of-use assets and share of profits/losses of associates and joint ventures, decreased by interest expense on lease liabilities and adjusted for the impact of deconsolidation of subsidiaries, costs related to acquisition, disposal and integration of businesses, employment termination programs, restructuring costs, elimination of margin (unrealised profit) earned on asset related transactions with joint ventures and associates accounted for using the equity method, significant claims, litigation and other risks as well as other significant non-recurring items.
eCapex (economic capital expenditures) is the key measure of resources allocation used by the Management Board and represents acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets excluding telecommunications licences, decreased by the proceeds accrued on disposal of these assets as well as on disposal of the rights of perpetual usufruct of land historically recognised as property, plant and equipment and subsequently reclassified to right-of-use assets ("proceeds accrued on disposal of assets"). eCapex does not include acquisitions of rightof-use assets.
Translation of the financial statements originally issued in Polish
Organic cash flows are the key measure of cash flow generation used by the Management Board and correspond to net cash provided by operating activities decreased by payments for purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and repayment of lease liabilities, increased/decreased by impact of net exchange rate effect received/paid on derivatives economically hedging capital expenditures and lease liabilities and proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and adjusted for the payments for acquisition of telecommunications licences, payments for costs related to acquisition, disposal and integration of businesses not included in purchase price and payments relating to significant claims, litigation and other risks. Cash flows arising from obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses, including significant tax cash flows specifically identified with these transactions, are classified as investing activities and by definition are not included in organic cash flows.
Net financial debt and net financial debt to EBITDAaL ratio are the key measures of indebtedness and liquidity used by the Management Board. The calculation of net financial debt is presented in Note 8.

These unaudited Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") and with all accounting standards applicable to interim financial reporting adopted by the European Union, issued and effective as at the time of preparing the Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (see also Note 4).
These Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
The Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and selected explanatory notes.
Costs that arise unevenly during the year are anticipated or deferred in the quarterly financial statements only if it would also be appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the year.
These Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in millions of Polish zloty ("PLN") and were authorised for issuance by the Management Board on 25 April 2022.
These Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
As at 31 March 2022, the Group's current liabilities exceeded current assets by PLN 467 million. The Management continuously analyses the timing, nature and scale of potential financing needs of the Group and believes that available cash (the Group had over PLN 1 billion of cash on its accounts at 31 March 2022) as well as expected solid operating cash inflows will be sufficient to fund the Group's anticipated cash requirements for working capital and investment purposes. Also, taking into account potential additional future financing requirements, the Management has started negotiations with the parent company to refinance the PLN 1.5 billion Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (currently unutilised) falling due in July 2022 and based on current discussions and past experience, believes that they will be successful.
There were no new standards or interpretations issued from the date when the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 were published.
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements are materially consistent with those described in Notes 2 and 35 to the audited IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The Group's activities are subject to some seasonality. The fourth quarter is typically a peak sales season with high commercial spending and with increased capital expenditures resulting from investment cycle management applied by the Group. Seasonally high capital expenditures in the fourth quarter are followed by higher payments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets suppliers in the first quarter of the subsequent year resulting in higher cash used in investing activities.
In February 2022 Russia attacked Ukraine. The direct military actions are in Ukraine, however Poland, the European Union and the rest of the world is also impacted by the war. Sanctions have been implemented on trade with Russia by the European Union and the United States. Many refugees left Ukraine to neighbour countries, including Poland.
The war in Ukraine has brought new uncertainty to the Polish economy. It may contribute to sustainably higher inflation and result in potentially longer than previously assumed period of elevated costs of energy. Consequences of that could be higher interest rates and slower GDP growth. Poland may also experience foreign exchange volatility as it was the case in the first weeks after the start of the war. Additionally, high influx of refugees to Poland may
generate additional costs for the Polish State budget, however the Polish economy could also reflect an upward impact of additional labour force and consumption.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Group has analysed the potential impact of the war in Ukraine on its financial position and performance:
Based on the analyses described above, the Management has concluded that the risks related to the war in Ukraine do not materially impact the results, assets and liabilities of the Group presented in these Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements. The Management will monitor the situation and the impact of the war on the Group in the next quarters.
In March 2022, the Group purchased 100% of shares in Interkam Sp. z o.o., Interkar Sp. z o.o. and Telewizja Światłowodowa Kaszebe Sp. z o.o., local operators offering services on the basis of fibre infrastructure. The transactions are consistent with the Group's strategy of expanding its fibre footprint. The acquisitions provide the Group with additional around 40 thousand fibre households connectable. Out of the total acquisition price amounting to PLN 43 million, PLN 38 million was paid upon signing of the agreements. The remaining part, estimated at PLN 5 million, is a contingent consideration that will be settled until 30 April 2025 and will be based on meeting certain legal conditions.
Due to a short period of time between the acquisition and the date when these Consolidated Financial Statements were authorised for issuance, provisional accounting for a business combination was made. The Group has not completed calculation of fair value of fibre network, customer contracts and related customer relationships.
As a result of the above transactions, the Group recognised the following assets and liabilities:
| (in PLN millions) | |
|---|---|
| Assets: | |
| Goodwill | 42 |
| Other assets | 3 |
| Total assets | 45 |
| Total liabilities | 2 |
| Net assets acquired | 43 |
Effective from 1 January 2022, as a result of an annual review of estimated useful lives of fixed assets, the Group extended the estimated useful lives for certain network assets and items of software which decreased depreciation and amortisation expense by PLN 10 million in the 3 months ended 31 March 2022 in comparison to previous year. Depreciation and amortisation expense in 2022 relating to these assets is expected to be lower by approximately PLN 38 million in comparison to 2021.
As at 31 March 2022, the Group remeasured the dismantling provision. The cost of dismantling increased in 2022 due to inflation. At the same time, Poland has experienced significant increase of interest rates. As a result, the net impact on these Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements was insignificant as the increase of the provision due to higher unitary cost of dismantling was compensated by the decrease of the provision due to higher discount rates.
The amount of trade payables subject to reverse factoring decreased from PLN 162 million as at 31 December 2021 to PLN 119 million as at 31 March 2022. These payables are presented together with the remaining balance of trade payables, as analysis conducted by the Group indicates they have retained their trade nature.
Net financial debt is a measure of indebtedness used by the Management Board. Since the calculation of this aggregate is not defined by IFRS, the methodology adopted by the Group is presented below:
| (in PLN millions) | At 31 March | At 31 December |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | |
| Loans from related party | 4,952 | 4,950 |
| Other financial liabilities at amortised cost | 59 | 61 |
| Derivatives – net (liabilities less assets) | (526) | (271) |
| Gross financial debt after derivatives | 4,485 | 4,740 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | (1,142) | (933) |
| Cash flow hedge reserve | 522 | 269 |
| Net financial debt | 3,865 | 4,076 |
As at 31 March 2022, the total outstanding balance of loans from the related party amounted to PLN 4,952 million, including accrued interest and arrangement fees. The weighted average effective interest rate on loans from the related party amounted to 5.32% before swaps and 3.10% after swaps as at 31 March 2022.
As at 31 March 2022, the total nominal amount of interest rate swaps outstanding under the agreement with Orange S.A. concerning derivative transactions to hedge exposure to interest rate risk was PLN 3,800 million with a total fair value amounting to PLN 434 million.
The Group's financial assets and liabilities that are measured subsequent to their initial recognition at fair value comprise derivative instruments, selected trade receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments and the contingent consideration receivable arising from the sale of 50% stake in Światłowód Inwestycje (presented within other assets in the consolidated statement of financial position).
The fair value of these instruments determined as described in Notes 15.1, 16 and 25 to the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 is presented below:
| (in PLN millions) | At 31 March | At 31 December | Fair value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | hierarchy (1) | |
| Derivatives – net (assets less liabilities) | 526 | 271 | Level 2 |
| Selected trade receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments | 196 | 233 | Level 2 |
| Contingent consideration receivable arising from the sale of 50% stake in Światłowód | |||
| Inwestycje (2) | 370 | 416 | Level 3 |

Orange Polska Group Condensed IFRS Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements – 31 March 2022 Translation of the financial statements originally issued in Polish
The discount rates used in the calculation of the present value of the expected cash flows related to contingent consideration receivable arising from the sale of 50% stake in Światłowód Inwestycje range from 8.5% in 2023 to 6.1% in 2026 as at 31 March 2022 (from 5.4% in 2022 to 5.5% in 2026 as at 31 December 2021) and are based on the market risk-free interest rates increased by the credit risk margin estimated for the APG Group. The Group has performed sensitivity analysis for the impact of changes in unobservable inputs and concluded that reasonably possible change in any unobservable input would not materially change the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable.
The carrying amount of the Group's financial instruments excluding lease liabilities approximates their fair value, except for telecommunications licence payables and a loan from related party based on fixed interest rate for which as at 31 March 2022 the estimated fair value was different from the carrying amount respectively by PLN 6 million and PLN (20) million (PLN 15 million and PLN (7) million as at 31 December 2021) due to a change between the original effective interest rates at the date of the initial recognition and current market rates.
On 22 April 2022, the General Meeting of Orange Polska S.A. adopted a resolution on the payment of an ordinary dividend of PLN 0.25 per share from the 2021 profit. The total dividend, amounting to PLN 328 million, will be paid on 6 July 2022.
The information hereunder refers to the matters presented in Note 32 to the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 or describes major matters that occurred after 31 December 2021.
On 14 May and 23 July 2021, UOKiK instituted proceedings regarding practices violating collective interests of consumers in the provision of certain additional services by Orange Polska alleging, among others, insufficient information for consumers in activating the service, lack of information on a durable medium and insufficient replies to customer complaints. On 14 December 2021 and 9 March 2022, UOKiK issued commitment decisions (both without imposing fines) concluding the proceedings instituted on 14 May and 23 July 2021 respectively.
Operational activities of the Group are subject to legal, tax, social and administrative regulations and the Group is a party to a number of legal and tax proceedings and commercial contracts related to its operational activities. Some regulatory decisions can be detrimental to the Group and court verdicts within appeal proceedings against such decisions can have negative consequences for the Group. Also, there are claims including for damages, contractual penalties or remuneration raised by counterparties to commercial contracts, or claims for other payments resulting from breach of law which may result in cash outflows.
Furthermore, the Group uses fixed assets of other parties in order to provide telecommunications services. The terms of use of these assets are not always formalised and as such, the Group is subject to claims and might be subject to future claims in this respect, which will probably result in cash outflows in the future. The amount of the potential obligations or future commitments cannot yet be measured with sufficient reliability due to legal complexities involved.
Some of the above determined matters may be complex in nature and there are many scenarios for final settlement and potential financial impact for the Group. The Group monitors the risks on a regular basis and the Management Board believes that adequate provisions have been recorded for known and quantifiable risks. Information regarding the range of potential outcomes has not been separately disclosed as, in the opinion of the Group's Management, such disclosure could prejudice the outcome of the pending cases.
As at 31 March 2022, Orange S.A. owned 50.67% of shares of the Company. Orange S.A. has majority of the total number of votes at the General Meeting of OPL S.A. which appoints OPL S.A.'s Supervisory Board Members. The Supervisory Board decides about the composition of the Management Board. According to the Company's Articles of Association, at least 4 Members of the Supervisory Board must be independent. The majority of Members of the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board are independent.
The Group's income earned from the Orange Group comprises mainly wholesale telecommunications services and research and development income. The purchases from the Orange Group comprise mainly brand fees and wholesale telecommunications services.
Financial receivables, liabilities, financial expense, net and other comprehensive income concerning transactions with the Orange Group relate to loan agreements concluded with Atlas Services Belgium S.A. and agreement with Orange S.A. concerning derivative transactions to hedge exposure to interest rate risk and foreign currency risk related to the above-mentioned loan agreements. Financial income and cash and cash equivalents deposited with Orange S.A. relate to the Cash Management Treasury Agreement.
The Group's income and receivables from Światłowód Inwestycje, a joint venture, relate mainly to sale of fibre network assets. Liabilities to Światłowód Inwestycje relate mainly to agreements for the lease and services to be rendered in the future, for which joint venture paid upfront.

The Company's activities are subject to some seasonality. The fourth quarter is typically a peak sales season with high commercial spending and with increased capital expenditures resulting from investment cycle management applied by the Company. Seasonally high capital expenditures in the fourth quarter are followed by higher payments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets suppliers in the first quarter of the subsequent year resulting in higher cash used in investing activities.
In February 2022 Russia attacked Ukraine. The direct military actions are in Ukraine, however Poland, the European Union and the rest of the world is also impacted by the war. Sanctions have been implemented on trade with Russia by the European Union and the United States. Many refugees left Ukraine to neighbour countries, including Poland.
The war in Ukraine has brought new uncertainty to the Polish economy. It may contribute to sustainably higher inflation and result in potentially longer than previously assumed period of elevated costs of energy. Consequences of that could be higher interest rates and slower GDP growth. Poland may also experience foreign exchange volatility as it was the case in the first weeks after the start of the war. Additionally, high influx of refugees to Poland may
generate additional costs for the Polish State budget, however the Polish economy could also reflect an upward impact of additional labour force and consumption.
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company has analysed the potential impact of the war in Ukraine on its financial position and performance:
Based on the analyses described above, the Management has concluded that the risks related to the war in Ukraine do not materially impact the results, assets and liabilities of the Company presented in these Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements. The Management will monitor the situation and the impact of the war on the Company in the next quarters.
In March 2022, the Company purchased 100% of shares in Interkam Sp. z o.o., Interkar Sp. z o.o. and Telewizja Światłowodowa Kaszebe Sp. z o.o., local operators offering services on the basis of fibre infrastructure. The transactions are consistent with the Group's strategy of expanding its fibre footprint. The acquisitions provide the Group with additional around 40 thousand fibre households connectable. Out of the total acquisition price, amounting to PLN 43 million, PLN 38 million was paid upon signing of the agreements. The remaining part, estimated at PLN 5 million, is a contingent consideration that will be settled until 30 April 2025 and will be based on meeting certain legal conditions.
Effective from 1 January 2022, as a result of an annual review of estimated useful lives of fixed assets, the Company extended the estimated useful lives for certain network assets and items of software which decreased depreciation and amortisation expense by PLN 10 million in the 3 months ended 31 March 2022 in comparison to previous year. Depreciation and amortisation expense in 2022 relating to these assets is expected to be lower by approximately PLN 38 million in comparison to 2021.
As at 31 March 2022, the Company remeasured the dismantling provision. The cost of dismantling increased in 2022 due to inflation. At the same time, Poland has experienced significant increase of interest rates. As a result, the net impact on these Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements was insignificant as the increase of the provision due to higher unitary cost of dismantling was compensated by the decrease of the provision due to higher discount rates.
The amount of trade payables subject to reverse factoring decreased from PLN 155 million as at 31 December 2021 to PLN 115 million as at 31 March 2022. These payables are presented together with the remaining balance of trade payables, as analysis conducted by the Company indicates they have retained their trade nature.
As at 31 March 2022, the total outstanding balance of loans from the related parties amounted to PLN 5,033 million, including accrued interest and arrangement fees. The weighted average effective interest rate on loans from the related parties amounted to 5.29% before swaps and 3.10% after swaps as at 31 March 2022.
As at 31 March 2022, the total nominal amount of interest rate swaps outstanding under the agreement with Orange S.A. concerning derivative transactions to hedge exposure to interest rate risk was PLN 3,800 million with a total fair value amounting to PLN 434 million.
The Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured subsequent to their initial recognition at fair value comprise derivative instruments, selected trade receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments and the deferred consideration receivable arising from the sale of 50% stake in Światłowód Inwestycje presented within other assets in the statement of financial position).
The fair value of these instruments determined as described in Notes 13.1, 14 and 24 to the IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 is presented below:
| (in PLN millions) | At 31 March | At 31 December | Fair value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | hierarchy (1) | |
| Derivatives – net (assets less liabilities) | 526 | 271 | Level 2 |
| Selected trade receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments | 233 | Level 2 | |
| Contingent consideration receivable arising from the sale of 50% stake in Światłowód | |||
| Inwestycje (2) | 370 | 416 | Level 3 |
(1) Described in Note 25.1 to the IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
(2) The Company received PLN 41 million in 2022.
The discount rates used in the calculation of the present value of the expected cash flows related to contingent consideration receivable arising from the sale of 50% stake in Światłowód Inwestycje range from 8.5% in 2023 to 6.1% in 2026 as at 31 March 2022 (from 5.4% in 2022 to 5.5% in 2026 as at 31 December 2021) and are based on the market risk-free interest rates increased by the credit risk margin estimated for the APG Group. The Company has performed sensitivity analysis for the impact of changes in unobservable inputs and concluded that reasonably possible change in any unobservable input would not materially change the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable.
The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments excluding lease liabilities approximates their fair value, except for telecommunications licence payables and a loan from related party based on fixed interest rate for which as at 31 March 2022 the estimated fair value was different from the carrying amount respectively by PLN 6 million and PLN (20) million (PLN 15 million and PLN (7) million as at 31 December 2021) due to a change between the original effective interest rates at the date of the initial recognition and current market rates.
On 22 April 2022, the General Meeting of Orange Polska S.A. adopted a resolution on the payment of an ordinary dividend of PLN 0.25 per share from the 2021 profit. The total dividend, amounting to PLN 328 million, will be paid on 6 July 2022.
The information hereunder refers to the matters presented in Note 31 to the IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 or describes major matters that occurred after 31 December 2021.
On 14 May and 23 July 2021, UOKiK instituted proceedings regarding practices violating collective interests of consumers in the provision of certain additional services by Orange Polska alleging, among others, insufficient information for consumers in activating the service, lack of information on a durable medium and insufficient replies to customer complaints. On 14 December 2021 and 9 March 2022, UOKiK issued commitment decisions (both without imposing fines) concluding the proceedings instituted on 14 May and 23 July 2021 respectively.
Operational activities of the Company are subject to legal, tax, social and administrative regulations and the Company is a party to a number of legal and tax proceedings and commercial contracts related to its operational activities. Some regulatory decisions can be detrimental to the Company and court verdicts within appeal proceedings against such decisions can have negative consequences for the Company. Also, there are claims including for damages, contractual penalties or remuneration raised by counterparties to commercial contracts, or claims for other payments resulting from breach of law which may result in cash outflows.
Furthermore, the Company uses fixed assets of other parties in order to provide telecommunications services. The terms of use of these assets are not always formalised and as such, the Company is subject to claims and might be subject to future claims in this respect, which will probably result in cash outflows in the future. The amount of the potential obligations or future commitments cannot yet be measured with sufficient reliability due to legal complexities involved.
Some of the above determined matters may be complex in nature and there are many scenarios for final settlement and potential financial impact for the Company. The Company monitors the risks on a regular basis and the Management Board believes that adequate provisions have been recorded for known and quantifiable risks. Information regarding the range of potential outcomes has not been separately disclosed as, in the opinion of the Company's Management, such disclosure could prejudice the outcome of the pending cases.
