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

The following quarterly report includes:

    1. the condensed consolidated financial statements of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2021 and the comparable period from 1 January to 31 March 2020, together with selected explanatory information (Part 1),
    1. the quarterly financial information of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2021 and the comparable period from 1 January to 31 March 2020 (Part 2).

Neither the condensed consolidated financial statements for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2021 and as at 31 March 2021 nor the quarterly financial information of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. for the period from 1 January to 31 March 2021 and as at 31 March 2021 were subject to audit by a certified auditor.

The consolidated quarterly report for the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 March 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, 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 valuation of an eventual 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 incremental borrowing rate of the lessee in lease agreements based on USD, for which it is not possible to otherwise determine the lease interest rate, and to measure at fair value loans granted by applying in the discounting process the current LIBOR market interest rate from the Reuters system. In such cases, in the Group's opinion, the impact of this amendment on the measurement of loans 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) and issued bonds are based on WIBOR reference rate, which will not be replaced by an alternative ratio.

On 31 March 2021, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published amendments to IFRS 16 Leases, which extend by one year 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. These amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021. The Group will apply these amendments following their adoption for use by the European Union, while in its opinion the impact of these amendments on the consolidated financial statements will be immaterial.

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 a segment's performance based on adjusted EBITDA and the profit or loss for the period.

The Group defines adjusted EBITDA as profit/loss for the period pursuant to IFRS, excluding income tax (current and deferred), finance income and costs, other operating income and costs, profit or loss on involvement in joint ventures, impairment losses on interest in a joint venture, depreciation/amortisation and recognition/reversal of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment 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.

Production of metallic silver t 299 329 (9.3)
Production of gold koz t 16.6 25.2 (34.2)

In the first 3 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% as a result of lower content and thickness of the mined deposit.

Copper production in concentrate was lower by approximately 2.2 thousand tonnes as compared to the first 3 months of 2020 as a result of processing lower quality ore from the Mines.

As compared to the corresponding period of 2020, there was an increase in electrolytic copper production by 5.4 thousand tonnes. The increase in cathode production was due to the higher availability of feed and increased availability of the production line.

Metallic silver production amounted to 299 tonnes and was lower by 30.6 tonnes (-9.3%) as compared to the first quarter of 2020. The lower metallic silver production was a result of the lower availability of feed.

Metallic gold production amounted to 16.6 thousand troy ounces and was lower by 8.6 thousand troy ounces (-34.2%) as compared to the first quarter of 2020. The lower metallic gold production was a result of the lower amount of gold-bearing materials processed.

Revenues in the first quarter of 2021 amounted to PLN 5 569 million and were higher than in the corresponding prior year period by 32%. The main reasons for this increase in revenues were higher prices of copper (+51%), silver (+55%) and gold (+13%).

C1 unit cost C1(2 USD/lb 1.93 1.58 +22.2

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 (total cost of products, merchandise and materials sold, selling costs and administrative expenses) for the first three months of 2021 amounted to PLN 4 210 million and were higher by 16.6% as compared to the corresponding period of 2020, mainly due to higher sales of copper products with the utilisation of a higher amount of purchased metal-bearing materials and a higher minerals extraction tax.

In the first three months of 2021, total expenses by nature as compared to the first three months of 2020 were higher by PLN 1 318 million, alongside a minerals extraction tax higher by PLN 374 million due to an increase in copper and silver prices and higher costs of consumption of purchased metal-bearing materials by PLN 748 million (due to a higher volume of consumption by 15 thousand tonnes of copper alongside a 31.8% higher purchase price).

The increase in expenses by nature, excluding purchased metal-bearing materials and the minerals extraction tax, amounted to PLN 196 million and resulted mainly from an increase in costs of technological materials, fuel and energy and energy carriers due to an increase in prices, as well as labour costs as a result of an increase in wage rates, fees for emissions of CO2 and depreciation/amortisation.

C1 cost for the first three months of 2021 amounted to 1.93 USD/lb and was higher than in the corresponding period of 2020 by 22.2%. The increase in this cost was mainly due to a higher minerals extraction tax charge (first 3 months of 2020: 0.40 USD/lb; first 3 months of 2021: 0.90 USD/lb). C1 cost, excluding the minerals extraction tax, was lower compared to 2020 by 12.6% mainly due to the valuation of by-products resulting from higher precious metals prices.

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 28 095 PLN/t (in the corresponding period of 2020: 24 880 PLN/t) and was higher by 12.9% mainly due to the higher minerals extraction tax and the lower production from own concentrate by 3.3%. The pre-precious metals credit unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate, excluding the minerals extraction tax, amounted to 22 767 PLN/t (in the corresponding period of 2020: 22 138 PLN/t).

The total unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate amounted to 17 214 PLN/t and was higher than for the first 3 months of 2020 by 2.7%. After excluding the minerals extraction tax, this cost was lower by 15.2% due to the higher valuation of associated metals (higher prices of silver and gold).

1) McCreedy West mine in the Sudbury Basin

Copper production in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first quarter of 2021 amounted to 16.2 thousand tonnes, or an increase by 2.1 thousand tonnes (+15%) compared to the corresponding period of 2020. This was mainly a result of higher production by the Robinson mine.

The increase in copper production by the Robinson mine by 2.7 thousand tonnes (+29%) was due to the mining of ore having a higher content of this metal, with higher recovery, which was partially offset by a lower volume of ore processed. The higher recovery of gold resulted in an increase in TPM production by 1.4 thousand troy ounces (+19%) by this mine.

The Franke mine recorded a drop in copper production, from 3.2 thousand tonnes in the first quarter of 2020 to 2.6 thousand tonnes in the first quarter of 2021, due to the lower volume of ore extracted, a decrease in metal content in ore and lower copper recovery.

The decrease in copper production in the Sudbury Basin mines by 0.2 thousand tonnes (-29%) and TPM by 7 thousand troy ounces (-67%) was due to a decrease in the volume of ore extracted and to lower metal content in mined ore.

The sales revenue of the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first quarter of 2021 amounted to USD 197 million, or an increase by USD 38 million (+24%) compared to the corresponding period of 2020, mainly due to higher copper prices.

Revenues from the sale of copper amounted to USD 143 million and were higher by USD 55 million (+63%). The increase was due to higher achieved sales prices by 58% (8 626 USD/t in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 5 444 USD/t in the first quarter of 2020), which was partially limited by a drop in the volume of sales by 0.6 thousand tonnes (-3%).

The lower revenues from the sale of precious metals by USD 12 million (-34%) was due to a decrease in the volume of sales of TPM by 9.2 thousand troy ounces (-43%), with higher achieved sales prices.

Cash expenditures by the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first quarter of 2021 amounted to USD 45 million and were lower by USD 3 million (-6%) compared to the corresponding period of 2020.

Around 87% of cash expenditures were related to the Robinson mine and mainly comprised work related to stripping to access ore for future mining.

Expenditures on the Victoria project amounted to USD 4 million, among others on the continuation of work to prepare infrastructure to further develop the project and to secure it.

In the first three months of 2021 there was no financing provided to the Sierra Gorda mine.

3.8.3 The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is a joint venture (under the JV company Sierra Gorda S.C.M.) of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. (55%) and Sumitomo Metal Mining and Sumitomo Corporation (45%).

The following production and financial data are presented on the basis of full ownership of the joint venture (100%) and proportionally to the interest in the company Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (55%), pursuant to the methodology of presentation of data in Note 3.2.

Production results

In the first quarter of 2021, Sierra Gorda S.C.M. increased production of copper and molybdenum compared to production in the corresponding period of 2020.

Unit 1st quarter of 2021 1st quarter of 2020 Change (%)

koz t 12.1 15.5 (21.9)
koz t 6.6 8.5 (21.9)

1) Payable metal in concentrate.

The increase in copper production (+21% compared to the first quarter of 2020) was achieved despite a lower amount of ore processed due to less efficient utilisation of the production assets (stoppages caused by breakdowns as well as accelerated maintenance which was originally planned for April 2021). The main reason for the higher copper production was mining in areas of higher content of this metal and higher recovery.

Higher recovery was also recorded in the case of molybdenum, and as a result molybdenum production increased by nearly 17% compared to the corresponding period of 2020.

Sales

Revenues from sales in the first quarter of 2021 amounted to USD 449 million (on a 100% basis), or PLN 942 million proportionally to the interest held in the company Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (55%).

1) reflects metallurgical and refining processing premium and other

The near-tripling of revenues (+USD 285 million) in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the corresponding period of 2020 was due to the substantial increase in prices of all metals sold. A significant reason for the increase in revenues was also the higher volume of copper sales.

The detailed impact of individual factors on changes in revenues is described in the subsection 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 234 million, including selling costs of USD 204 million and total cost of sales and administrative expenses of USD 30 million. The costs of the segment amounted to PLN 490 million, proportionally to the interest held (55%).

1) C1 unit production cost of copper - cash cost of payable copper production, reflecting costs of ore extraction and processing, the minerals extraction tax, transport costs, administrative expenses during the mining phase and smelter treatment and refining charges (TC/RC) less by-product value

Compared to the first quarter of 2020, the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses expressed in USD million was 7% higher, with a 46% higher copper sales volume.

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:

  • − depreciation/amortisation a decrease by 11% (-USD 11 million), mainly due to the amortisation of capitalised stripping costs,
  • − transport costs an increase by 51% (+USD 7 million) mainly due to an increase in sales volume and higher freight prices,
  • − external services an increase by 11% (+USD 5 million) due to higher extraction (+9%) and the related increase in the scope of commissioned repairs,
  • − materials a decrease by 11% (-USD 3 million) due to lower prices of explosives, lower use of ore blending materials and of other materials,
  • − labour costs an increase by 11% (+USD 2 million) mainly due to a change in the USD/CLP exchange rate,
  • − third-party molybdenum processing costs an increase by 62% (+USD 2 million) due to a higher volume of molybdenum production.

Other expenses by nature were not substantially different from the amounts recorded in the corresponding period of 2020. The C1 unit cash cost of payable copper production amounted to 0.93 USD/lb, meaning a decrease by 19%. The improvement in this regard was due to a substantial degree to the higher volume of copper sales. Because of the higher prices of molybdenum, silver and gold, there was also an increase in revenues from sales of associated metals which are deducted when calculating this cost, which also had a significant impact on the level of C1 cash cost achieved.

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, paragraph 29 (Disclosure of information on the fair value is not required when the carrying amount is approximate to the fair value).

In the current reporting period, there was no transfer in the Group of financial instruments between individual levels of the fair value hierarchy,

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

Level 1

Listed shares

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

Long-term debt securities

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

Level 2

Unquoted shares

Unquoted shares are measured using the adjusted net assets. Observable Input data other than the ones from the active market were used in the measurement (e.g. transaction prices of real estate similar to the one subjected to measurement, market interest rates of State Treasury bonds and term deposits in financial institutions, and the riskfree discount rate published by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority).

Trade receivables

Receivables arising from the realisation of sales under contracts which are finally settled using future prices were measured using forward prices, depending on the period/month of contractual quoting. Forward prices are from the Reuters system.

For trade receivables transferred to non-recourse factoring, a fair value is assumed at the level of the amount of the trade receivables transferred to the factor (nominal value from the invoice) less interest, which are the factor's compensation. Due to the short term between the transfer of receivables to the factor and their payment, fair value is not adjusted by the credit risk of the factor and impact of time lapse.

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 on the currency market and currency-interest transactions (CIRS), the forward prices from the maturity dates of individual transactions were used to determine their fair value. The forward price for currency exchange rates was calculated on the basis of fixing and appropriate interest rates. Interest rates for currencies

and the volatility ratios for exchange rates were taken from Reuters. The standard Garman-Kohlhagen model is used to measure European options on currency markets.

Metals derivatives

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

Received long-term bank and other loans

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

Level 3

Long-term loans granted

As at 31 December 2020, there was a transfer in the Group of financial instruments between individual levels of the fair value hierarchy. Due to utilisation of forecasted cash flows from international assets in the fair value measurement (an unmeasurable assumption classified to level 3), the Group transferred the measurement of loans granted from level 2 to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Pursuant to the adopted principle on transferring fair values between levels, as at 31 December 2020 an analysis of classification was made of fair value of financial instruments to levels of the fair value hierarchy.

As a result of the analysis, a transfer was made from level 2 to level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, of loans measured at amortised cost. With respect to estimating the fair value of these loans, a significant element of the estimation are the forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda, which pursuant to IFRS 13 are unobservable input data, that is input data at level 3 of the fair value, which formed the basis for transferring the fair value of these loans to level 3 of the fair value.

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

In managing commodity, currency and interest rate risk, the scale and profile of activities of the Parent Entity and of the mining companies of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group is of the greatest significance for, and has the greatest impact on the results of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group.

The Parent Entity actively manages market risk by taking actions and making decisions in this regard within the context of the whole KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group's global exposure.

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

The impact of derivatives and hedging transactions on the items in the statement of profit or loss of the Group and on the items in the statement of comprehensive income is presented below:

TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (1 395) 76

The management of market risk in the Parent Entity, and especially the management of the risk of changes in metals prices, exchange rates and interest rates, should be considered through an analysis of the hedging position together with the position being hedged (hedged position). A hedging position is understood as the Parent Entity's position in derivatives. A hedged position is comprised of highly probable, future cash flows (revenues from the physical sale of products).

In the first quarter of 2021, copper sales of the Parent Entity amounted to 136.6 thousand tonnes (net sales of 84.6 thousand tonnes)3 , while the notional amount of copper price hedging strategies settled in this period amounted to 76.5 thousand tonnes, which represented approx. 56% of the total sales of this metal realised by the Parent Entity and approx. 90% of net sales in this period (in the first quarter of 2020, 34% and 47% respectively). However, the notional amount of settled silver price hedging transactions represented 28% of sales of this metal by the Parent Entity (in the first quarter of 2020, 8%). In the case of currency hedging transactions, approx. 22% of revenues from copper and silver sales realised by the Parent Entity in the first quarter of 2021 (34% - in the first quarter of 2020).

As part of the realisation of the strategic plan to hedge the Parent Entity against market risk, in the first quarter of 2021 transactions were implemented on the forward currency market. Put options were purchased with maturity periods from February to December 2021 for a total notional amount of USD 870 million (including USD 765 million for the period from April to December 2021). These transactions were not designated as hedging instruments. Moreover, the Parent Entity bought back sold put options with strike prices of USD/PLN 3.20 for a notional amount of USD 495 million (USD 45 million monthly) for the period from February to December 2021.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Parent Entity also restructured a position in derivatives on the copper market. Call options were purchased with strike prices of 9 500-10 000 USD/t for the period from March to June 2021 for the total

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

notional amount of 62 thousand tonnes (15.5 thousand tonnes monthly), at the same time opening participation in potential further price increases for the collar and seagull options structures held with maturity periods from March to June 2021.

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

In the first quarter of 2021 QP adjustment swap transactions were entered into on the copper and gold markets with maturity to December 2021, as part of the management of a net trading position4 .

As at 31 March 2021, the Parent Entity held an open derivatives position for 331.75 thousand tonnes of copper (of which 325.5 thousand tonnes arose from the strategic management of market risk, while 6.25 thousand tonnes came from the management of a net trading position), 22.05 million troy ounces of silver, and USD 1 980 million of planned revenues from sales of metals. Furthermore, as at 31 March 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 31 March 2021, the bank and investment loans which were drawn in USD, following their translation to PLN, amounted to PLN 3 510 million (as at 31 December 2020: PLN 4 321 million).

In the first 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 31 March 2021. The risk of changes in metals prices was related to derivatives embedded in long-term contracts for the supply of sulphuric acid and water.

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

* Collar structures, i.e. purchased put options and sold call options were designated as hedging under seagull options structures (CFH – Cash Flow Hedging), 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 fair value of open derivative transactions entered into by the Group and receivables and liabilities due to settled derivatives, as at 31 March 2021 the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 43%, or PLN 151 million (as at 31 December 2020: 36%, or PLN 158 million).

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

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

Rating level As at
31 March 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
99% 95%
Medium from BBB+ to BBB- according to S&P and Fitch,
and from Baa1 to Baa3 according to Moody's
1% 5%

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

The fair value of open derivatives of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group broken down into hedging transactions6 and trade transactions (including embedded and adjustment derivatives) and instruments initially designated as hedging instruments excluded from hedge accounting, is presented in the tables below.

The fair value of open derivatives (assets and liabilities) as at 31 March 2021 has changed as compared to 31 December 2020 because of:

  • the settlement of transactions in derivatives with maturities in the first quarter of 2021, which were open at the end of 2020,

  • entering into new transactions on copper and currency markets,

  • the change in macroeconomic conditions (e.g. forward prices of copper, silver, USD/PLN forward rates, interest rates and volatility implied at the measurement date).

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

Note 4.8 Liquidity risk and capital management in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group

Liquidity and capital management policy

The Management Board of the Parent Entity is responsible for financial liquidity management in the Group and compliance with the adopted policy. The Financial Liquidity Committee is a unit supporting the Management Board in this regard.

Capital management in the Group is aimed at securing funds for business development and maintaining the appropriate level of liquidity.

Due to the centralisation of the process of obtaining external financing for the entire KGHM Group's needs at the Parent Entity's level, it is necessary to ensure the possibility of realisation of intra-group liquidity transfers 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 in the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group also in CAD. Cash pooling aims to optimise the management of cash held, limiting interest costs, efficient financing of current working capital needs and supporting short-term financial liquidity in the Group.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Group continued actions aimed at ensuring financial stability by basing the financial structure on diversified and long term financing sources. In January 2021, the Parent Entity signed credit agreements in the form of overdraft facility for the total amount of USD 80 million, and availability for 2 years with the option to extend for a subsequent year.

Actions were also continued aimed at optimising the financial liquidity management process by concentrating on the effective management of working capital by using reverse factoring and factoring. The effect of implementation of factoring transactions is shortening the receivables turnover cycle and an extension of the turnover cycle of liabilities.

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

In order to maintain financial liquidity and the creditworthiness to acquire external financing at an optimum cost, over the long term the Group's goal is for the ratio of Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA to be no more than 2.0.

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

*Net debt does not include the balance of reverse factoring liabilities

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

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

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 Wrocław dismissed the appeals of both sides, altering the judgment of the court of first instance solely in the matter of the resolution of court costs from the hearings at the court of first instance and charging them to KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. The judgment is binding and was executed by KGHM on 18-19 June 2019. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. filed a cassation appeal against the judgment of the court of second instance, i.e. with respect to the partially upheld principal claim 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 date of the hearing regarding admission of the cassation appeal to be heard has not yet been set.

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 31 March 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

In the first quarter of 2021 KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. did not issue guarantees or sureties on bank and other loans within the Group or to other entities.

The subsidiaries of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. also did not issue guarantees or sureties on bank and other loans to other entities or their subsidiaries in the first quarter of 2021.

Other information which in the opinion of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is significant for the assessment of its employment, assets, financial position and financial result and any changes thereto, and information which is significant for assessing the ability to pay its liabilities

The Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and trade unions that were party of the Company Collective Labour Agreement for the Employees of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., during the wage negotiations which were held from 25 January to 4 February 2021, reached and signed a wage agreement as well as an additional protocol to the CLA introducing the following wage elements in the current year:

  • an increase in the monthly basic wage rate by 5.2%,
  • upward employee categorisation covering 15% of the crew,
  • an increase in the basis for calculating the bonus for night work,
  • changes in the principles for paying a special annual bonus for Metallurgical Workers Day.

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 by the Parent Entity, including in particular over the following quarter, may be:

a) the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential for interruptions to the continuity of operations or restrictions in activities:

  • i) due to infections by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and increased absenteeism amongst employees of the Core Business and/or decline in labour productivity,
  • ii) due to interruptions in the materials and services supply chain and to logistical restrictions, especially as regards international transport,
  • iii) due to the closure of 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) metal prices volatility, including mostly copper and silver,
  • c) the USD/PLN exchange rates volatility,
  • d) electrolytic copper production costs volatility, in particular costs due to the minerals extraction tax and the value of purchased copper-bearing materials used,
  • e) the effects of the implemented hedging policy,
  • f) the general uncertainty on financial markets,
  • g) the economic impact of the global recession related to the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g. decreases or delays in export revenues).

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

  • a) similarly as in the case of the Parent Entity, the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential impact on business continuity disruptions or business restrictions,
  • b) metal prices volatility including copper, silver, gold and molybdenum,
  • c) the CLP/USD, CAD/USD and USD/PLN exchange rates volatility,
  • d) volatility in the cost of copper mining production.

In consideration of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there still remains uncertainty regarding the further development of the epidemic-related (subsequent waves of infections) and socio-economic situation in Poland and globally. This is in particular with reference to restrictions in sectors directly impacted by the coronavirus and the drop in consumption due to the observed economic slowdown.

Although the above may affect the results of the Group in subsequent quarters, due to the on-going development of the situation it is not possible to present quantitative estimates of the potential impact of current conditions on the results of the KGHM Group. To date, there has not been recorded a substantial negative impact on the continuity of production of the Core Business, on sales or on the continuity of the supply chain for materials and services. It is not possible to exclude the future negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in these areas over subsequent quarters, especially in the context of conducting a business in a fluctuating demand and supply conditions.

An important factor for the domestic and global economies will be the availability of approved vaccines, their effectiveness against emerging new virus strains, and the rate of vaccinations which will impact, among others, the possibility of lifting the restrictions imposed in various countries and sectors, reducing uncertainty as regards future periods and increasing activity amongst producers as well as consumers. The Parent Entity continues to monitor the global economic situation, in order to assess its potential negative impact on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and to take actions to mitigate this impact.

Note 5.6 Information on the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's and the Group's operations

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 underwent detailed analysis by the on-going monitoring of selected information in the areas of production, sales, supply chains, personnel management and finance, in order to support the process of reviewing the current financial and operating situation of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and assessment of the current risk exposure.

As a result, there were no substantial deviations from the achievement of the budget targets for the first 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 pandemic was its effect on market risk related to volatility in metals prices and market indices. The Company's share price at the end of the first quarter of 2021 was 3.9% higher compared to the price at the end of 2020 and at the close of trading on 31 March 2021 amounted to PLN 190.20. During these same periods the WIG index increased by 1.8% and WIG20 index fell by 2.8% (compared to the end of 2020). As a result of these changes in the share price, the Company's capitalisation increased from PLN 36.6 billion at the end of 2020 to PLN 38.04 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2021, meaning a level 82.09% higher than the net value of assets.

Starting from the end of 2020 there was an improvement in the metals market, reflected in an increase in the price of copper by 14%, from 7 742 USD/t at the end of 2020 to the level of 8 850 USD/t at the end of the first quarter of 2021.

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. In the first quarter of 2021 there occurred substantial interruptions to the daily operations of these companies, caused by the forced lockdown and the restrictions imposed on their activities by Decrees of the Minister of Health. As a result, some of the facilities were temporarily excluded from operating.

The inability to freely conduct business activity resulted in the achievement of low revenues which also translated into loss on operating activities. The spa and hotel companies are applying for an extension in financing institutions of the exemptions from the DSCR ratio (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) calculation obligation for the first half of 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) under the Anti–Crisis Shield 1.0 for large enterprises and under the Anti–Crisis Shield 2.0 for the sector of small and medium enterprises (SME sector). 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 first quarter of 2021, the spa companies implemented an offer of post-covid stay to the commercial sale. In April, NHF (the National Health Fund) announced a post-covid treatment program for people struggling with post-covid complications.

In the second quarter of 2021, further lifting of restrictions and a gradual return to the conduct of activities, the providing of services and the generation of revenues is expected. The main factor regulating the situation in the hotel and spa industry will undoubtedly be the progressing vaccination campaign. In the area of the selected spa facilities, vaccination points against COVID-19 are carried out.

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 first 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 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 KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and as well as in all international mines of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and Sierra Gorda S.C.M., thanks to the implementation of a variety of preventative measures, such as: enforcing a sanitary regime and monitoring and testing the health of 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 first quarter of 2021 was in line with the target set at the start of the year.

Moreover, for the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, a plan was prepared to maintain operational continuity in the case of production restrictions or stoppages, or a temporary shift to maintenance of operations. The Parent Entity also has complete documentation as required by the "Act on geology and mining" as well as executive decrees in this regard, respecting in particular maintaining mining operations.

In terms of sales the Parent Entity has a long term, stable base of customers with whom it is in constant contact. Most customers are still free of any highly negative impact of the pandemic on their operations, thanks to which sales liabilities towards the Parent Entity are regulated on time.

The Group is fully capable of meeting its financial obligations. The financial resources held by the Group and available borrowings guarantee the Group's continued financial liquidity. Financing structure of the Group on 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 weighted average maturity of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.'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 loan agreements related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Group continues to advance its investment projects on time 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.
