Neither the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2021 and as at 30 September 2021 nor the quarterly financial information of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2021 and as at 30 September 2021 were subject to audit by a certified auditor.

The consolidated quarterly report for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2021 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 2020 and the Consolidated annual report SRR 2020.

This quarterly report's financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and valuation methods for the current and comparable periods and principles applied in annual financial statements (consolidated and separate), prepared as at 31 December 2020.

Note 1.4.1 Impact of new and amended standards and interpretations

From 1 January 2021, the Group is bound by amendments to standards resulting from Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 on the interest rate benchmark reform – Phase 2.

The aforementioned amendments to standards were adopted for use by the European Union. The Group analysed the impact of the IBOR reform on its consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to current decisions of entities designated to implement the reform, only the LIBOR rate will be replaced, and it will be replaced by a risk-free rate based on the overnight rate. The Group identified agreements with clauses based on the LIBOR rate and which will be amended following the replacement of the reference rate. These are mainly borrowing agreements (bank loans and loans), deposit agreements, guarantee agreements, letters of credit and factoring agreements as well as trade agreements. Replacement of the LIBOR rate by an alternative ratio will result in introducing appendices to the current agreements, analysing the potential change of interest rates from variable to fixed, introducing changes to internal methodologies and procedures and adapting IT tools to new valuation methods.

Moreover, the Group uses the LIBOR rate to estimate the lessee's incremental borrowing rate in lease agreements based on USD, for which it is not possible to otherwise determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, and to measure at fair value the loans granted by applying in the discounting process the current LIBOR market interest rate from the Reuters system. In the Group's opinion, the impact of this amendment on the measurement of loans and lease agreements will be immaterial due to the fact that despite the new calculation method, the new reference rate will differ from the LIBOR rate by only 1-2 basis points, depending on the date and currency. The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group continuously monitors the recommendations of entities leading the IBOR reform. Due to the fact that many issues have not yet been formally regulated, the scale of changes to the aforementioned financial instruments and their impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements cannot currently be determined. Moreover, the IBOR reform will not have an impact on the interest rate of derivatives, because CIRS (open Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap transactions) transactions entered into and bonds issued by the Group are based on WIBOR reference rate, which will not be replaced by an alternative ratio.

Moreover, the Group decided for an earlier application of the amendment to IFRS 16 Leases regarding COVID-19-related rent concessions, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021. These amendments extend by one year, that is to 30 June 2022, the optional and related to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) relief of operational requirements for lessees making use of the option to temporarily suspend lease payments. Pursuant to the so-called practical expedient, when a lessee obtains a lease relief due to COVID-19, the lessee does not have to assess whether this relief is a modification of a lease, and instead recognises this change in the accounting books as if this change was not a modification. The impact of these amendments on the consolidated financial statements is immaterial.

Note 1.5 Impairment of assets

EVALUATION OF RISK OF IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS OF THE COMPANY INTERFERIE S.A. – Segment – Other segments

The market capitalisation of the subsidiary Interferie S.A. in the first nine months of 2021 was below the carrying amount of the company's net assets, which in accordance with the adopted accounting policy was recognised by the company to be an indication to perform impairment testing of the company's assets. As at 30 September 2021, the carrying amount of the tested assets was PLN 153 million.

In order to assess the impairment, the company Interferie S.A. identified the following cash generating units (CGUs): INTERFERIE in Ustronie Morskie – Leisure and Sanatorium Cechsztyn, INTERFERIE in Kołobrzeg Leisure and Sanatorium Chalkozyn, INTERFERIE in Dąbki Sanatorium Argentyt, INTERFERIE in Świeradów Zdrój – Hotel Malachit, INTERFERIE Hotel in Głogów and INTERFERIE Hotel Bornit in Szklarska Poręba.

As at 30 September 2021, INTERFERIE Hotel in Głogów was classified to non-current assets held for sale and recognised, pursuant to IFRS 5, at its carrying amount which was lower than its fair value less costs to sell.

For the purpose of evaluation of impairment – pursuant to IAS 36.6, the recoverable amount of assets is determined at the amount corresponding to the fair value less costs to sell or to the value in use (which is a current, estimated value of future cash flows, expected to be obtained from the continued use of a cash generating unit) – depending on which one is higher.

In the facilities of INTERFERIE in Ustronie Morskie – Leisure and Sanatorium Cechsztyn, INTERFERIE in Kołobrzeg Leisure and Sanatorium Chalkozyn and INTERFERIE in Dąbki Sanatorium Argentyt, the recoverable amount was determined on the basis of the sum of future cash flows of individual CGUs discounted by the rate estimated on the basis of ratios used by the hotel industry.

In the facilities of INTERFERIE Hotel in Głogów, INTERFERIE Hotel Bornit in Szklarska Poręba and INTERFERIE Hotel Malachit in Świeradów Zdrój, the recoverable amount was determined based on the fair value less costs to sell (on the basis of valuation reports prepared by real estate surveyors).

The fair value was classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

*The difference in the forecast periods arises from the realisation of investment projects in the Argentyt and Chalkozyn facilities.

** The presented data is post-taxation, despite the model of measuring the value in use. The use of pre-taxation data does not have an impact on the recoverable amount.

As a result of the impairment testing of the company's assets, the estimated fair value of the assets was determined to be higher than their carrying amount, which did not provide a basis, pursuant to IAS 36.8, to recognise an impairment loss, which is presented in the table below.

The measurement indicated a significant sensitivity of fair value to adopted discount rates, growth rates following the forecast period and volatility of operating profit in the forecasted period of the following CGUs. The sensitivity to changes in the level of revenues, arising from the lockdown period, is reflected in the sensitivity to changes in the operating profit.

    • − With respect to cooperation with domestic and international academic institutions and opinion makers, Company proposals were prepared as respects projected changes in hygienic and biological standards for heavy metals, and the Company's position was presented in terms of its recommendations regarding verification of the approach to standards for exposure to exhaust from diesel engines in underground mines.
    • − In terms of the digitisation of analytical data and OHS reporting stage 2 of this work was completed a review was made of the IT solutions applied by other companies in this regard as well as the applications currently utilised by the Company.
    • − Active forms of education and employee support were prepared in the form of interactive instructional films, reconstructions and handouts.
    • − The OHS services conducted a joint audit at the Cedynia Wire Rod Plant and coordinated their approach as regards the measurement of selected chemical factors in the work environment.
    • − A campaign aimed at prevention was launched regarding the use of psychoactive substances.
  • The Program to adapt the technological installations of the Company to the requirements of BAT conclusions for the nonferrous metals industry and to restrict emissions of arsenic (BATAs) was continued. 12 projects were advanced at the Głogów and Legnica Copper Smelters and Refineries, of which by the end of the third quarter of 2021 the following were settled and completed:
    • − A de-leaded slag transport installation (Głogów Copper Smelter and Refinery).
    • − A warehouse and storage area for lead-bearing materials (Głogów Copper Smelter and Refinery).
    • − An installation to remove sulphur from gases from the Kaldo furnace (Głogów Copper Smelter and Refinery).
  • Key effects of the EU's tightening climate policy
    • − The EU's tightening climate policy, in particular the European Green Deal and the Fit for 55 package, has a decisive impact on Polish industry's operating conditions. The radical rise in wholesale electricity prices which has been observed over the last several months affects the competitive position of Polish producers at the international level, not only in relation to producers outside of Europe who are not limited by restrictive environmental protection regulations, but also those from other EU countries where – in principle – a more balanced energy mix enables them to acquire energy at a substantially lower cost.
    • − The revision of the EU's ETS system resulting from introduction of the Fit for 55 package means that as a result of an increase in the emissions reduction goal to -61% by 2030 (from the current level of -43%), the Company is experiencing a significant increase in costs connected with the purchase of greenhouse gas emission rights.
    • − According to estimates by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., additional costs connected with emission rights under the EU ETS system in the years 2021-2030 amount to approx. PLN 1.04 billion.
    • − The Company also expects that the introduced changes will result in additional costs connected with the purchase of electricity due to higher unit market prices. If it is assumed that the current volume of electricity purchased from the market remains unchanged (approx. 2.24 TWh in 2020), these additional costs will amount to approx. PLN 2.96 billion in the years 2021-2030.
    • − KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. anticipates that the costs associated with implementation of the EU's ambitious climate goals would amount in total to PLN 4 billion in the years 2021-2030. Because of this, the Company will intensify its existing decarbonisation efforts (the Energy Development Program) and will commence new projects in this regard. The Company will shape these actions based on the adopted Climate Policy.
  • Adoption of the Climate Policy of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
    • − On 16 November 2021 the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. adopted a resolution on the adoption for implementation of the Climate Policy of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. – a document setting forth the Company's

goals as regards the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions over the timeframe of 2030 and 2050 as well as the scope and extent of changes required for its achievement.

  • − The scope and impact of the Climate Policy encompasses KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., which will subsequently transfer its principles to its subsidiaries.
  • − The primary goal of the Climate Policy of KGHM is for the Parent Entity of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 with respect to Scope 1 emissions - direct emissions primarily related to the Company's production activities and Scope 2 emissions - indirect emissions associated with the use of electricity and heat acquired from the market, with their maximum possible reduction.
  • − The intermediate target is to reduce total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 30% by 2030, compared to the emission levels of 2020. The reduction targets for the entire KGHM Group will be published no later than in the first half of 2023.

  • The Climate Policy will be followed by the Decarbonisation Program of the KGHM Group, which will provide details on how the Climate Policy's goals will be attained, as well as total capital expenditures on the realisation of activities aimed at reducing the emission of greenhouse gases.
  • KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. emits approximately 3.3 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually, approximately 40% of which consists of Scope 1 emissions and 60% of which are Scope 2 emissions.
  • Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions related above all to the Company's production activity, i.e. in particular emissions from metallurgical processes, emissions related to the use of engine fuels by mining vehicles and machines in the mines, and emissions related to the generation of energy from own sources with the use of natural gas.
  • Scope 2 emissions, in turn, are indirect emissions related to the use of the electricity and heat purchased on the market.
  • Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions in the supply chain of equipment, machines, parts, production materials etc., but also services and business travel.

Greenhouse gas emissions at production divisions of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in 2020 according to the emission sources [%]

*Excluding emissions related to biomass and blast furnace gas used by Energetyka Sp. z o.o.

  • In 2022, the Company will conduct a full survey of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions at its subsidiaries, so that, no later than in the first half of 2023, it will be able to announce the total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for the entire organisation. The Company will publish data concerning Scope 3 emissions for the Group no later than in the first half of 2024.
  • For the purpose of ensuring compliance of activities with the best market practices, the Company will strive to implement a climate reporting system based on the Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures of 2017 (TCFD).
  • The first step towards this end will be the implementation of changes in key management and business processes. The scope of changes will encompass all four areas of the TCFD Recommendations.

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

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. and Future 5 Sp. z o.o., which operate in the structure related to the establishment of a Tax Group,
  • KGHM Centrum Analityki Sp. z o.o.

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 President of 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 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 performance of segments on the basis of adjusted EBITDA and the profit or loss for the period.

The Group defines adjusted EBITDA as profit/loss for the period pursuant to IFRS, excluding taxes (current and deferred income tax as well as the mining tax), finance income and costs, other operating income and costs, profit or loss on involvement in joint ventures, depreciation/amortisation and recognition/reversal of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets included in the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses. 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, trade receivables and deferred tax assets. Liabilities which have not been allocated to the segments comprise trade liabilities and current corporate tax liabilities.

Financial data of the segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (55% share), presented in part 3 of the consolidated financial statements - Information on operating segments and revenues, does not include changes in the assumptions concerning the forecasts of pricing paths of commodities, adopted by the Company in the measurement of loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. As it was described in detail in the Consolidated half-year report PSr 2021, in the opinion of the Company's Management Board, the application of assumptions updated in this regard in assessment of the recoverable amount of non-current assets of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. could result in a reversal of a significant part of the impairment loss on non-current assets recognised in prior years.

The potential reversal of an impairment loss on non-current assets by Sierra Gorda S.C.M. would not have an impact on the carrying amount of the investment in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (zero value) accounted for using the equity method, because the equity of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. remains at a negative level.

In the first nine months of 2021, there was an increase in ore extraction (dry weight) as compared to the corresponding period of 2020. Copper content in ore decreased to 1.48% due to the lower content and thickness of the mined deposit.

Copper production in concentrate decreased by approx. 0.7 thousand tonnes as compared to the first nine months of 2020 as a result of processing a higher amount of lower quality feed.

As compared to the corresponding period of 2020, there was an increase in electrolytic copper production by 28.2 thousand tonnes. Cathode production increased due to the availability of feed and higher availability of the production line since there were no maintenance shutdowns in 2021.

Production of metallic silver amounted to 982.6 tonnes and was higher by 7.2 tonnes (+0.7%) as compared to the first nine months of 2020. Metallic silver production increased due to the higher silver content in concentrate and higher copper cathode production.

Production of metallic gold amounted to 61.4 thousand troy ounces and was lower by 5.7 thousand troy ounces (-8.5%) as compared to the first nine months of 2020. Metallic gold production decreased due to the lower gold content in feed material.

1) Unit cost prior to decrease by the value of anode slimes containing, among others, silver and gold

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 (cost of products, merchandise and materials sold, selling costs and administrative expenses) for the first nine months of 2021 amounted to PLN 14 720 million and were higher by 31% as compared to the corresponding period of 2020, mainly due to an increase in sales of copper products alongside the utilisation in production of more purchased metal-bearing materials.

In the first nine months of 2021, total expenses by nature were higher by PLN 5 143 million as compared to the corresponding period of 2020, alongside a minerals extraction tax charge higher by PLN 1 419 million (due to higher prices of copper and silver) and higher costs of consumption of purchased metal-bearing materials by PLN 2 489 million (due to a higher volume of consumption by 40 thousand tonnes of copper alongside a 39.2% higher purchase price).

The increase in expenses by nature, excluding purchased metal-bearing materials and the minerals extraction tax, amounted to PLN 1 235 million and resulted mainly from the increase in costs of technological materials, fuels, electrical and other energy due to an increase in prices, labour costs due to wage increases, CO2 emissions charges and depreciation/amortisation.

C1 cost for the first nine months of 2021 amounted to 2.24 USD/lb and was higher than in the corresponding period of 2020 by 40%. The increase in this cost was mainly caused by the higher minerals extraction tax charge (the first nine months of 2020: 0.43 USD/lb; the first nine months of 2021: 1.04 USD/lb). C1 cost, excluding the minerals extraction tax, was higher as compared to 2020 by 2.7% alongside a higher value of by-products due to an increase in the prices of precious metals and the weakening of the US dollar exchange rate by 3.4%.

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 32 108 PLN/t (in the comparable period of 2020: 25 618 PLN/t) and was higher by 25%, mainly due to the higher minerals extraction tax.

The pre-precious metals credit unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate, excluding the minerals extraction tax, amounted to 24 166 PLN/t (in the corresponding period of 2020: 21 954 PLN/t).

The total unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate amounted to 20 921 PLN/t and was higher by 22% as compared to the first nine months of 2020. Excluding the minerals extraction tax, it was lower by 4% due to the higher value of associated metals.

Copper production in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first three quarters of 2021 amounted to 55.4 thousand tonnes, or an increase by 6.2 thousand tonnes (+13%) compared to the corresponding period of 2020. The increase in copper production by the segment was mainly due to higher production by the Robinson mine.

The increase in copper production in the Robinson mine by 7.2 thousand tonnes (+21%) was due to the extraction of ore with a higher copper content and higher recovery, which was partially offset by the lower volume of processed ore. Moreover, the mine increased TPM production by 0.7 thousand troy ounces (+3%) due to the higher recovery of gold. The decrease in copper production in the Franke mine by 1.3 thousand tonnes (-14%) was mainly the result of mining a lower quality ore, which led to lower recovery of this metal.

The decrease in copper production in the McCreedy West mine by 0.2 thousand tonnes (-13%) was due to the lower volume of extracted ore, which was partially offset by the increased copper content in ore. The lower volume of extraction as well as the lower precious metals content resulted in a decrease in precious metals production by 15.2 thousand troy ounces (-59%).

The revenues of the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first three quarters of 2021 amounted to USD 600 million, or an increase by USD 85 million (+17%) compared to the corresponding period of 2020, mainly due to higher copper prices. The increase in revenues was partially limited by a lower metals sales volume and lower revenues from the sale of services of companies operating under the brand DMC Mining Services ("DMC").

Revenues from the sale of copper amounted to USD 451 million and were increased by USD 158 million (+54%), mainly due to a higher achieved sales price by 57% (9 239 USD/t in the first three quarters of 2021 compared to 5 871 USD/t in the corresponding period of 2020). This factor was partially limited by a lower copper sales volume by 3.1 thousand tonnes (-6%).

The lower revenues from TPM sales by USD 35 million (-36%) are the result of a decrease in the volume of sales by 22 thousand troy ounces (-38%), which was partially offset by higher achieved sales prices.

Revenues from the sales of services by DMC decreased (from USD 109 million in the first three quarters of 2020 to USD 74 million in the first three quarters of 2021) mainly due to the completion of a contract on 28 August 2020 related to a project carried out in the United Kingdom.

The main factor responsible for the increase in copper production was the processing of ore with higher metal content and higher copper recovery as compared to the first 9 months of 2020. The increase in recovery was also the main factor for the increase in molybdenum production. In the case of both of these metals, an increase in ore processing (+3%) played a significant role.

Sales

In the first three quarters of 2021, revenues from sales amounted to USD 1 561 million (on a 100% basis), or PLN 3 277 million proportionally to the interest held in the company Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (55%).

The doubling of revenues as compared to the level achieved in the corresponding period of 2020 was mainly due to the favourable situation on the copper and molybdenum markets, which was reflected in a significant increase in achieved prices of these resources, respectively by (+69%) and (+92%). Moreover, of no less significance were the increase in production and the copper sales volume by 35%.

The detailed impact of individual factors on changes in revenues is 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 762 million, of which USD 654 million were costs of sales and USD 108 million were the total selling costs and administrative expenses. Proportionally to the interest held (55%) the costs of the segment amounted to PLN 1 601 million.

Compared to the period from January to September 2020, the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses expressed in USD million was higher by USD 82 million (+12%), mainly due to the increase in production and sales as well as the impact of labour agreements, and therefore an increase in labour costs by 67%. Apart from the labour costs, changes compared to the corresponding period of 2020 were mainly in respect of the following expenses by nature prior to the change in inventories and capitalised stripping:

  • − transport an increase by 43% (+USD 21 million) mainly due to the increased volume of copper sales and increased freight costs,
  • − external services an increase by 9% (+USD 12 million) due to higher extraction (+3%) and therefore a higher scope of work by mining machinery and therefore contracted maintenance and replacement of tires,
  • − fuel, lubricants and oils an increase by 41% (+USD 12 million), mainly due to market conditions higher price of diesel oil by 39%,
  • − energy an increase by 2% (+USD 3 million), mainly due to higher consumption resulting from higher ore processing,
  • − spare parts a decrease by 4% (-USD 2 million), mainly due to extension of the life of some of the components as a result of performed preventative replacements.

The C1 cash cost of payable copper production amounted to 0.81 USD/lb, or a decrease by 35%. The improvement in this regard was mainly thanks to the increase in the volume of copper sales. Due to higher prices of molybdenum and silver, there was an increase in revenues from the sale of associated metals, which reduce this cost, and which also had a significant impact on the achieved level of the C1 cash cost.

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

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

As at 30 June 2021, the Group estimated cash flows on repayment of receivables due to loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. updated by improved prices of metals (table below), as a result of which there was a reversal of an allowance for impairment recognised at the moment of initial recognition of an asset in the amount of PLN 1 655 million (USD 435 million).

Basic macroeconomic assumptions adopted for cash flow estimation – metal prices

Price paths were adopted on the basis of long-term forecasts available from financial and analytical institutions. A detailed forecast is being prepared for the period 2022-2026, while for the period 2027-2031 a technical adjustment of prices was applied between the last year of the detailed forecast and 2032, from which the following long-term metal price forecast is used: Period II H 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 LT

*Details may be found in: Methods and measurement techniques used by the Group in determining fair values of each class of financial asset or financial liability, Level 3, Long-term loans granted

The Group does not disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortised cost in the statement of financial position (except for long-term 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 fair value is not required when the carrying amount is approximate to the fair value).

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

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

Level 1

Listed shares

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

Long-term debt securities

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

Level 2

Unquoted shares

Unquoted shares are measured using the adjusted net assets. Observable Input data other than the ones from the active market were used in the measurement (e.g. transaction prices of real estate similar to the one subjected to measurement, market interest rates of State Treasury bonds and term deposits in financial institutions, and the 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 is the factor's compensation. Due to the short term between the transfer of receivables to the factor and their payment, fair value is not adjusted by the credit risk of the factor and impact of time lapse.

Long-term loans granted

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

Other financial assets/liabilities

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

Currency and currency-interest derivatives

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

Metals derivatives

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

Received long-term bank and other loans

The fair value of bank and other loans is estimated by discounting the cash flows associated with these liabilities in timeframes and under conditions arising from agreements, and by applying current rates. Fair value differs from the carrying amount by the amount of the premium paid to acquire the financing.

Level 3

Long-term loans granted

Loans granted measured at amortised cost in the statement of financial position are included in this category, because of the use of unmeasurable 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 8%.

The forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M., which are the basis for estimating the fair value of loans measured at amortised cost, are the most sensitive to copper price volatility, which affects other assumptions, such as forecasted production or operating margin. Therefore the Parent Entity, pursuant to IFRS 13 p.93.h, performed a sensitivity analysis of the fair value of loans to copper price volatility:

Copper prices [USD/t]

8 521 9 683 10 393 8 976

* Approximate estimation of fair value on the basis of an estimation of the total cash flows available on the level of Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

The above approximate estimation of the fair value of cash flows available for the repayment of loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. was prepared on the basis of the total cash flows available to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (55% attributable to the KGHM Group).

Business scenarios assumed by the Parent Entity's Management Board to measure the carrying amount of loans adopt a conservative approach, among others as to the moment the cash flows occur, and assuming that not all of the cash flows generated by Sierra Gorda S.C.M. will be used to repay the loans. Because of the negative equity of Sierra Gorda S.C.M., pursuant to the equity method, the Group measures the value of the interest in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. at the level of 0. As a result, the estimated approximate fair value of total cash flows available to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. reflects the best possible estimate of the value of loans received from the owners as well as the value of interest held.

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

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

The impact of derivatives and hedging transactions on the items in the statement of profit or loss of the KGHM Group and on the items in 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 three quarters of 2021, copper sales of the Parent Entity amounted to 417.1 thousand tonnes (net sales of 263.7 thousand tonnes)3 , while the notional amount of copper price hedging strategies settled in this period amounted to 199.5 thousand tonnes, which represented approx. 48% of the total sales of this metal realised by the Parent Entity and approx. 76% of net sales in this period (in the first three quarters of 2020, 34% and 49% respectively). The notional amount of settled silver price hedging transactions represented approx. 22% of sales of this metal by the Parent Entity (in the first three quarters of 2020, 8%). In the case of currency transactions, approx. 27% of revenues from copper and silver sales realised by the Parent Entity in the first three quarters of 2021 were hedged (29% in the first three quarters of 2020).

As part of the realisation of the strategic plan to hedge the Parent Entity against market risk, in the third quarter of 2021 transactions were implemented on the forward currency market. Put options were purchased for USD 180 million of planned sales revenues, with maturity periods from January to June 2022. These transactions were not designated as hedging. Moreover, collar option strategies were implemented for a notional amount of USD 120 million with maturity periods from July 2022 to December 2022.

In the third quarter of 2021, the Parent Entity did not enter into any derivative transactions on the forward copper, silver and interest rate markets.

In terms of managing the net trading position4 in the third quarter of 2021 so-called QP adjustment swap transactions were entered into on the copper and gold markets with maturity periods falling in June 2022.

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

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

As at 30 September 2021, the Parent Entity held an open derivatives position for: 255.9 thousand tonnes of copper (of which: 247.5 thousand tonnes arose from the strategic management of market risk, while 8.4 thousand tonnes came from the management of a net trading position), 16.95 million troy ounces of silver, and USD 1 380 million of planned revenues from sales of metals. Furthermore, as at 30 September 2021 the Parent Entity had open Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (CIRS) transactions in the notional amount of PLN 2 billion, hedging against market risk connected with the issuance of bonds in PLN with a variable interest rate5 , and bank and other loans with fixed interest rates. Commodity risk was also related to derivatives embedded in the purchase contracts for metal-bearing materials.

With respect to managing currency risk, the Parent Entity uses natural hedging by borrowing in currencies in which it has revenues. As at 30 September 2021, the bank and investment loans which were drawn in USD, following their translation to PLN, amounted to PLN 2 998 million (as at 31 December 2020: PLN 4 321 million).

In the third quarter of 2021, none of the Group's mining subsidiaries had implemented any forward transactions on the commodity market or the currency market, and did not hold an open position on this market as at 30 September 2021. The risk of changes in metals prices was related to derivatives embedded in long-term contracts for the supply of sulphuric acid.

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 30 September 2021 is not presented due to its immateriality for the Group.

Condensed tables of open transactions in derivatives held by the Parent Entity as at 30 September 2021, entered into as part of the strategic management of market risk, are presented below. The hedged notional amounts of transactions on the copper, silver and currency markets in the presented periods are allocated evenly on a monthly basis. The tables do not reflect restructured and opposite positions (purchase versus sale) 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), while only purchased put options were designated as hedging under put spread structures.

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

Taking into consideration the receivables due to open derivative transactions held by the Group (excluding embedded derivatives) as at 30 September 2021 and receivables due to settled derivatives, the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 30%, or PLN 273 million (as at 31 December 2020: 32%, or PLN 317 million).6

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

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

Rating level As at
30 September 2021
As at
31 December 2020*
Medium-high from A+ to A- according to S&P and Fitch, and from A1 to A3
according to Moody's

Medium from BBB+ to BBB- according to S&P and Fitch, and from Baa1

- 3%

* Restated

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

The fair value of open derivatives of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group as at 30 September 2021, broken down into hedging transactions7 and trade transactions (including embedded and adjustment derivatives) and instruments initially designated as hedging instruments excluded from hedge accounting, is presented in the tables below.

The fair value of open derivatives (assets and liabilities) as at 30 September 2021 has changed as compared to 31 December 2020 as a result of:

  • the settlement of transactions in derivatives with maturities falling in the first three quarters of 2021, which were open as at the end of 2020,

6 In 2021 the method of calculating the value exposed to credit risk related to derivatives was changed – instead of the positive net fair value, only receivables due to open derivatives (excluding embedded derivatives) are taken into account as well as receivables due to settled derivatives. The data as at 31 December 2020 were calculated in accordance with the new method.

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

  • entering into new transactions on copper, silver, gold and currency markets,
  • the change in macroeconomic conditions (e.g. forward prices of copper, silver, USD/PLN forward rates, interest rates and volatility implied as at the measurement date).

Note 4.8 Liquidity risk and capital management in the 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 Group's needs at the Parent Entity's level, the realisation of intra-group liquidity transfers is made using debt and equity instruments. The main debt instrument used in intra-group liquidity transfers are owner loans, which support the process of investment activities.

Under the process of liquidity management, and with respect to supporting the current activities, the Group makes use of a supporting tool – local cash pooling in PLN, USD and EUR and internationally in USD 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 third quarter of 2021, the Group continued actions aimed at optimising the financial liquidity management process by concentrating on the effective management of working capital and debt capital.

In the first three quarters of 2021, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group showed a full capacity for meeting its obligations. The cash held and external financing obtained by the Group guarantee continued liquidity and enable the realisation of investment projects.

In 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/Adjusted EBITDA to be no more than 2.0. The ratio's level as at the reporting dates was as follows:

Ratio 30 September 2021 31 December 2020
Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA* 0.8 0.9

* 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.

Liabilities due to guarantees granted

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

As at 30 September 2021, the balance of liabilities held by the Group due to guarantees and letters of credit granted in total amounted to PLN 759 million, while liabilities due to promissory notes amounted to PLN 189 million.

The most significant items were liabilities of the Parent Entity aimed at securing the following obligations:

  • Sierra Gorda S.C.M. a corporate guarantee in the amount of PLN 659 million (USD 165 million) set as a guarantee of payment of a bank loan instalment drawn by Sierra Gorda S.C.M. The carrying amount of the recognised liability due to the financial guarantee granted amounts to PLN 57 million*,
  • other entities, including the Parent Entity:
  • PLN 47 million to secure the proper execution by the Parent Entity of future environmental obligations related to the obligation to restore terrain, following the conclusion of operations of the Żelazny Most tailings storage facility,
  • PLN 39 million (PLN 32 million and CAD 2 million) securing the obligations related to proper execution of agreements concluded.

* A financial guarantee was recognised in the accounting books pursuant to par. 4.2.1. point c of IFRS 9.

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

Note 4.13 Assets held for sale and liabilities associated with them

In the third quarter of 2020 the Management Board of the Parent Entity undertook corporate decisions to enable the sale of international mining assets of the KGHM international LTD. Group - the companies S.C.M. Franke and Carlota Copper Company. In May 2021 informational material (investment teasers) was distributed to 46 companies which could potentially be interested in such a purchase, as a result of which 15 non-disclosure agreements were signed with entities interested in the acquisition of the assets of the Franke and Carlota mines.

Pursuant to the criteria set forth in IFRS 5, as at 30 June 2021, the Management Board of the Parent Entity reclassified the assets and liabilities of the companies S.C.M. Franke and Carlota Copper Company to the Disposal Group.

In the third quarter of 2021, on the basis of non-binding offers submitted by potential buyers, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. selected entities, which were invited to the next stage of the Due Diligence process.

With respect to the assets of the companies S.C.M. Franke and Carlota Copper Company, due to the difference between the carrying amount of these assets and their tax base, there arose deductible temporary differences. Because of these differences the Group did not recognise a deferred tax asset, as the criteria set forth in IAS 12.44 were not met.

No significant costs were identified that would necessitate the recognition of provisions as a result of the planned sale of the Franke and Carlota assets.

Activities of the companies S.C.M. Franke and Carlota Copper Company were presented in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.

The financial data of companies classified to discontinued operations were presented together with continued operations in the consolidated financial statement of profit or loss, in the consolidated statement of cash flows and explanatory notes to these statements because they do not represent a separate major line of business and they are not a part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business (IFRS 5.32 a and b).

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

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

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

In a judgment dated 25 September 2018, the Regional Court in Legnica dismissed the counter claim and partially upheld the principal claim to the total amount of approx. PLN 24 million, and at the same time ordered the payment of interest in the amount of approx. PLN 30 million, totalling to 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 the Company 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 cassation appeal was admitted to be heard. The Company expects the indication of the date of the cassation hearing.

In accordance with the Company's position, the plaintiffs' claim should be dismissed in its entirety and the counter claim is justified. The Company in this regard paid the authors of the project royalties for a longer period of application of the project than anticipated in the initial contract entered into by the parties on advancing the invention project, based on an annex to the contract, extending the period of payment of royalties, whose validity is questioned by the Company. Moreover, the Company is questioning the "rationalisation" nature of the solutions, as well as whether they were in fact used in their entirety, and also their completeness and suitability for use in the form supplied by the plaintiffs as well as the means of calculating the economic effects of this solution, which were the basis for paying the royalties.

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 2021 to 30 September 2021, neither KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. nor subsidiaries thereof entered into transactions with related entities under other than arm's length conditions.

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

As at 30 September 20201, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. granted a guarantee of bank loans drawn by the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. to Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego for the amount of PLN 659 million (USD 165 million). The repayment deadline for the bank loan guarantee expires in 2024. The guarantee was granted on arm's length conditions. Moreover, in the third quarter of 2021, none of the other entities of the Group granted any sureties for bank or other loans or guarantees.

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

In the third quarter of 2021 there were no other significant events, apart from those mentioned in the commentary to the report, which could have a significant impact on the assessment of assets, financial position and financial result of the Group, and significant for the assessment of the employment situation and the ability to pay its liabilities.

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) a subsequent wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential for interruptions to the continuity of operations or restrictions in activities:
    • i) due to possible infections by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and increased absenteeism amongst employees of the core production line and/or a decrease in productivity of work,
    • ii) due to interruptions in the materials and services supply chain and to logistical restrictions, especially as regards international transport,
    • iii) due to restrictions on certain sales markets, a drop in demand and optimisation of inventories of raw materials and finished products amongst customers,
    • iv) due to extraordinary changes in legal acts (e.g. special acts),
  • b) volatility in copper and silver prices on the metals markets,
  • c) volatility in the USD/PLN exchange rate,
  • d) volatility in electrolytic copper production costs, including in particular due to the minerals extraction tax, changes in the value of consumed copper-bearing materials and as a result of volatility in prices of energy carriers and electricity,
  • e) the effects of the implemented hedging policy,
  • f) the general uncertainty on financial markets, and
  • g) the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis (e.g. a decrease or delay in revenues from exports).

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

  • a) similarly as in the case of the Parent Entity, the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on interruptions to the continuity of operations or restrictions in activities,
  • b) volatility in copper, silver, gold and molybdenum prices,
  • c) volatility in the CLP/USD, CAD/USD and USD/PLN exchange rates, and
  • d) volatility in mined copper production costs.

The above may affect the results of the Group in subsequent quarters. It is not possible however to provide quantitative estimates of the potential impact of current conditions on the results of the KGHM Group. To date there has not yet been recorded a substantial, negative impact on the continuity of the Core Production Business, sales or the continuity of the materials and services supply chain. The possibility of the future, negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in these areas in subsequent quarters may not however be excluded, especially in the context of the conduct of economic activities under conditions of fluctuations in demand and supply and the uncertainty related to the rate of economic recovery in Poland and globally as the epidemiological situation improves.

Note 5.6 Impact of the COVID – 19 on the operations of the Company and the Group

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

Evaluation of the key categories of risk which are impacted by the coronavirus pandemic is subjected to detailed analysis by the on-going monitoring of selected information in the areas of production, sales, supply chain, 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.

There were no substantial deviations from the achievement of the budget targets for the third quarter of 2021 in any of the operating segments of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, with the exception of companies operating in the spa and hotel sector (Other segments).

Impact on the metals market

From the Group's point of view, an important impact of the coronavirus epidemic is its effect on market risk related to volatility in metals prices and market indices. As at 30 September 2021 the copper price amounted to 9 041 USD/t, meaning a decrease by 4% compared to 30 June 2021 and an increase by 17% compared to the price at the end of 2020. The Company's share price at the close of trading on 30 September 2021 amounted to PLN 157.65, meaning a decrease by 16% compared to 30 June 2021 and a decrease by 14% compared to the price at the end of 2020. The decrease in the Parent Entity's share price resulted in a decrease in the Company's market capitalisation, which on 30 September 2021 amounted to PLN 31 530 million compared to PLN 37 530 million at 30 June 2021 and PLN 36 600 million at the end of 2020. As at 30 September 2021 the Company's market capitalisation was above the level of its net assets by 24%.

Impact on the spa activities of the Group

The greatest impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was on the Group's secondary activities involving the hotel and spa services of the companies: Uzdrowiska Kłodzkie S.A. - Grupa PGU, Uzdrowisko Połczyn Grupa PGU S.A., Uzdrowisko Cieplice Sp. z o.o. - Grupa PGU, Uzdrowisko Świeradów - Czerniawa Sp. z o.o. – Grupa PGU, INTERFERIE S.A. and Interferie Medical SPA Sp. z o.o. The inability to freely conduct business activity in the first half of 2021 resulted in the achievement of low revenues which also translated into a loss on sales. The spa and hotel companies obtained exemptions from financing institutions from the obligation to calculate the DSCR ratio for the entire year - 2021. Financial liabilities to creditors and lessors are paid on an ongoing basis.

The spa and hotel companies of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. have received financing from the Polski Fundusz Rozwoju (Polish Development Fund or PDF) under the Anti–Crisis Shield 1.0 for large enterprises and under the Anti–Crisis Shield 2.0 for the SME sector (the sector of small and medium enterprises). The financing received from the aforementioned programs amounted to PLN 13.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 (total: in 2020 and in the first quarter of 2021 – PLN 18.75 million). In the third quarter of 2021, after meeting the statutory requirements, part of the funds obtained under the financial shield 1.0 for large enterprises were remitted by the PDF decision (total amount remitted is PLN 6.5 million). The companies that submitted applications for financing from the SME sector shield are awaiting decisions on the settlement of the subsidies received. In addition, at the end of September, companies that joined the Anti-Crisis Shield 1.0 program for large enterprises submitted applications to join the Financial Shield under the 2.0 program for large enterprises. The total requested amount of liquidity loans amounted to PLN 18.7 million.

In terms of sales, in the first quarter of 2021, the spa companies offered commercial post-covid stays. In April, the National Health Fund (NHF) announced a post-covid treatment program for people struggling with post-covid complications, which is offered in selected resorts of the Group's spa companies.

In the second quarter of 2021, restrictions were lifted with a gradual return to the conduct of activities, the providing of services and the generation of revenues – all facilities resumed operations. While maintaining the sanitary regime and statutory restrictions on the admissible occupancy rate in hotel facilities, the companies returned to the full realisation of commercial and medical services. The holiday period brought the expected rebound in both hotel and spa activities - the companies took advantage of the holiday season and high internal demand for leisure and treatment services, achieving the best results in history. In the long term, the progressive vaccination campaign will undoubtedly be the main factor regulating the situation in the hotel and spa industry.

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

With regard to other domestic companies of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, the pandemic situation in the third quarter of 2021 did not have a significant impact on the operating results generated by these entities.

The pandemic situation caused by COVID-19 did not have a significant impact on the Company's and the Group's operations, and at the date of publication of this report the Management Board of the Parent Entity estimates the risk of loss of going concern status caused by COVID-19 as low. Individual, small deviations from the continuity of the supply chain for materials and services have been observed, caused by logistical restrictions in international markets. Regular contact with suppliers enables prompt reaction to delays by utilisation of the strategy of supplier diversification applied in the Group as well as the use of alternative solutions.

Preventive actions in the Group

In the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and as well as in all of the international mines of the Group and Sierra Gorda S.C.M., thanks to the implementation of a variety of preventative measures, such as enforcing a sanitary regime and health monitoring and testing of the employees, there were no production stoppages which would have been directly attributable to the pandemic. As a result, the Group's copper production in the third quarter of 2021 did not differ from the target set at the start of the year.

In terms of sales, the majority of customers continue not to feel any strong negative impact from the epidemic on their activities, thanks to which their trade payables towards the Parent Entity are being paid on time, while the execution of deliveries to customers continues without interruption.

The KGHM Group is fully capable of meeting its financial obligations. The financial resources held by the Group and available borrowings guarantee its continued financial liquidity. The financing structure of the Group at the level of the Parent Entity, based on the long-term and diversified sources of financing, provided the Company and the Group with long-term financial stability through extending the average weighted maturity of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group's debt.

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.

At present the Parent Entity is not aware of any significant risk of a breach in the financial covenants contained in external financing agreements related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The KGHM Group continues to advance its investment projects in accordance with established schedules and is not aware of any increase in risk related to their continuation as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

During the reported period there were likewise no interruptions in the continuity of the Group's operations caused by infections of this virus amongst the employees. There continues to be a lack of any substantial heightened level of absenteeism amongst employees of the Parent Entity's core business or domestic and international production assets related to the pandemic.

Taking into consideration the risk of a subsequent wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, there still remains uncertainty regarding the directions of development of the economic and social situation in Europe and globally. An important factor for the domestic and global economies will be the percentage of people fully vaccinated against COVID-19, which would enable among others the further easing of restrictions in individual countries and sectors, a reduction in uncertainty as to future periods, or improving economic activity. The Parent Entity continuously monitors the global economic situation, in order to assess its potential negative impact on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and to take preventive actions to mitigate this impact.

Note 5.7 Subsequent events
