Orange Polska S.A. ("Orange Polska" or "the Company" or "OPL S.A."), a joint stock company, was incorporated and commenced its operations on 4 December 1991. The Orange Polska Group ("the Group") comprises Orange Polska and its subsidiaries. The Group is a part of Orange Group based in France. Orange Polska shares are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
The Group is the principal provider of telecommunications services in Poland. The Group provides mobile and fixed telecommunications services, including calls, messaging, content, access to the Internet and TV. In addition, the Group provides IT and integration services, leased lines and other telecommunications value added services, sells telecommunications equipment, provides data transmission, constructs telecommunications infrastructure and sells electrical energy.
Orange Polska's registered office is located in Warsaw at 160 Aleje Jerozolimskie St.
The list of entities included in the Condensed IFRS Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group (the "Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements") as at and for the 9 months ended 30 September 2020 is presented in Note 1.2 to the Orange Polska Group IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements ("IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements") for the year ended 31 December 2019.
The Group reports a single operating segment as decisions about resources to be allocated and assessment of performance are made on a consolidated basis. Group performance is currently evaluated by the Management Board based on revenue, EBITDAaL, net income, organic cash flows, eCapex (economic capital expenditures), net financial debt and net financial debt to EBITDAaL ratio based on cumulative EBITDAaL for the last four quarters. Starting from 2020, in order to better capture economic transformation of asset base, proceeds accrued on disposal of assets offset capital expenditures, while gains on their disposal are excluded from EBITDAaL. As a result, eCapex (economic capital expenditures) replaced Capex (capital expenditures) as the key measure of resources allocation used by the Group. Additionally, the amount of EBITDAaL in comparative period was restated to conform to new definition used in 2020.
Since the calculation of EBITDAaL, organic cash flows, eCapex and net financial debt is not defined by IFRS, these performance measures may not be comparable to similar indicators used by other entities. The methodology adopted by the Group is presented below.
EBITDAaL is the key measure of operating profitability used by the Management Board and corresponds to operating income before gains on disposal of assets, depreciation, amortisation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, decreased by interest expense on lease liabilities and adjusted for the impact of deconsolidation of subsidiaries, costs related to acquisition and integration of new businesses, employment termination programs, restructuring costs, significant claims, litigation and other risks as well as other significant non-recurring items. The calculation of EBITDAaL for the 9 months ended 30 September 2020 and 2019 is presented in the table below.
Organic cash flows are the key measure of cash flow generation used by the Management Board and correspond to net cash provided by operating activities decreased by payments for purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and repayment of lease liabilities, increased by impact of net exchange rate effect received/paid on derivatives economically hedging capital expenditures and lease liabilities and proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and adjusted for the payments for acquisition
of telecommunications licences, payments for costs related to acquisition and integration of new businesses not included in purchase price and payments relating to significant claims, litigation and other risks. The calculation of organic cash flows for the 9 months ended 30 September 2020 and 2019 is presented in the table below.
eCapex (economic capital expenditures) is the key measure of resources allocation used by the Management Board and represents acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets excluding telecommunications licences, offset by the proceeds accrued on disposal of these assets ('proceeds accrued on disposal of assets'). eCapex does not include acquisitions of right-of-use assets. The calculation of eCapex for the 9 months ended 30 September 2020 and 2019 is presented in the table below.
Net financial debt and net financial debt to EBITDAaL ratio are the key measures of indebtedness and liquidity used by the Management Board. The calculation of net financial debt is presented in Note 8.

These unaudited Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") and with all accounting standards applicable to interim financial reporting adopted by the European Union, issued and effective as at the time of preparing the Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (see also Note 4).
These Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
The Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and selected explanatory notes.
Costs that arise unevenly during the year are anticipated or deferred in the quarterly financial statements only if it would also be appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the year.
These Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in millions of Polish zloty ("PLN") and were authorised for issuance by the Management Board on 28 October 2020.
As at 30 September 2020, the Group's current liabilities exceeded current assets by PLN 4,340 million. The related party loans of PLN 3,560 million (presented in Note 19 to the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019) are due in May and June 2021. The Management is discussing and negotiating the refinancing of these loans with the parent company, and based on current discussions and past experience, believes that they will be successful. Furthermore, the Management analysed the timing, nature and scale of potential financing needs of the Group and believes that available cash as well as expected operating cash inflows will be sufficient to fund the Group's anticipated cash requirements for working capital purposes. Consequently, the Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group companies will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future, for at least the next twelve months.
There were no new standards or interpretations issued from the date when the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 were issued. Changes to standards and interpretations in 2020 did not result in any changes to accounting policies applied by the Group.
In December 2019 the Committee published its decision (the "Decision") in respect to the lease term. The Committee discussed the concepts of "penalties" and "enforceable period", which are used in the determination of the lease term and provided guidance on how they should be understood and applied when determining the lease term. The Committee concluded that the contract is enforceable as long as the lessee or the lessor would have to bear more than an insignificant penalty in case of termination of the contract. Therefore, even in the absence of option for the lessee to extend the lease at its discretion, the reasonably certain lease term shall be assessed in order to determine the lease term and, as a result, the amounts of the lease liability and of the right-of-use asset. Furthermore, according to the Committee, the concept of "penalty" should be considered as all economic disincentives and should not be limited only to contractual penalties.
As a result of the Decision and the analysis performed in 2020, the Group changed its accounting policy in respect of the determination of the lease term of cancellable leases. The change was applied retrospectively and impacted the statement of financial position as at 1 January 2019. The Group assessed the reasonably certain lease terms of cancellable lease contracts to be equal to 5 years for all lease contracts, except for 18 years for road occupancy leases where fixed network infrastructure is placed. This change in accounting policy resulted in the recognition of additional right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities, mainly in respect of leases of premises and ground for fixed and mobile network infrastructure.
Adoption of changes described above affected the consolidated statement of financial position as at 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2019, the consolidated income statement, total comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows for the 3 and 9 months ended 30 September 2019 as follows:

On 28 May 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board has issued an amendment "COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions" to IFRS 16 Leases to make it easier for lessees to account for COVID-19-related rent concessions. The amendment exempts lessees from having to consider individual lease contracts to determine whether rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications and allows lessees to account for such rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. The amendment has been endorsed by the European Union in October 2020. The adoption of the amendment will not have a significant effect on the Group's financial statements.
Except for the changes described in Note 3 and presented below, the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements are materially consistent with those described in Notes 2 and 32 to the audited IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
Starting from 2020, the Group changed its accounting policy relating to presentation of foreign exchange gains/losses arising on revaluation and settlement of lease liabilities and related hedging instruments as follows:
Lease liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and related hedging instruments are re-measured at the end of the reporting period and the resulting translation differences are recorded in the consolidated income statement in finance costs, net (previously in other operating income/expense).
As a result, the comparative amounts for the 3 and 9 months ended 30 September 2019 were adjusted to conform to the new accounting policy and PLN (14) million of foreign exchange losses were reclassified from other operating income/expense to finance costs, net. Additionally, foreign exchange gains/losses for the 3 and 9 months ended
30 September 2019 amounting to PLN (6) million and PLN (3) million, respectively, presented within finance costs, net, were separated from other interest expense and financial charges to new line item.
The Group believes that the new presentation better reflects the economic nature of lease contracts which are longterm financial liabilities used for financing purpose and their impact should be presented in the consolidated income statement in finance costs, net.

The Group's activities are subject to some seasonality. The fourth quarter is typically a peak sales season with high commercial spending and with increased capital expenditures resulting from investment cycle management applied by the Group. Seasonally high capital expenditures in the fourth quarter are followed by higher payments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets suppliers in the first quarter of the subsequent year resulting in higher cash used in investing activities.
In March 2020, COVID-19 was officially declared as a pandemic. The authorities closed the borders, introduced a lockdown on schools, some businesses and facilities and restricted movement of people to leaving home for essential reasons only. The imposed restrictions have been progressively lifted starting from end of April 2020. The pandemic has significantly impacted the Polish economy. Consensus of forecasts indicates that Poland's GDP is likely to fall by 3.6% in 2020, which is confirmed by actual data for the first half of 2020 (GDP decrease by 3.2%). At the same time the consensus indicates that GDP in Poland could return to growth in 2021 although the pace of the recovery is highly uncertain at the moment. The government has introduced 5 sets of legislation (Anti-crisis Shields and Financial Shield) targeted mainly on micro, small and medium companies, aimed at counterbalancing the crisis impact. The situation is dynamic, Poland and other countries experience a second wave of COVID-19, some restrictions have been imposed again and funds from the protective shields have been distributed. The government intends to offer some additional support for companies from sectors which suffer most from current restrictions.
Since mid-March, the Group has implemented a number of actions to adapt to the crisis situation, ensure business continuity and reduce the risks of the pandemic. The pandemic had an impact on the Group's ability to achieve its business goals in the 9 months ended 30 September 2020. The Management has adopted a number of counteractive measures to mitigate the negative impact of the pandemic on Group's business performance. Based on the up to date observations, the Group discloses the following major impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, financial position and performance in the 9 months ended 30 September 2020:
as a consequence of pandemic-related reduced small business activity and much lower sales to foreign residents. Sale of new services and pre-paid cards has progressively improved since May and churn has stabilized at the usual level. Generally the Group observes now stable situation slightly modified by the pandemic.
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Group, its financial position and performance in next periods depends on many factors which are beyond the control of the Group. These factors include, among others: the length and severity of the pandemic, measures taken by the government to limit the pandemic and to protect society from the effects of the crisis and in result its ultimate impact on the Polish economy. The Group will monitor the COVID-19 situation, its impact on the Polish economy, as well as indicators more specific to the Group.
In June 2020, Orange Polska signed with Trade Unions amendments to the Collective Labour Agreement. Under the current provisions of the Collective Labour Agreement, employees are entitled to jubilee awards upon completion of a certain number of years of service. According to the agreed changes, these current rules regarding jubilee awards will be cancelled from April 2021. At the same time, in the period between April and December 2021, employees with 15-30 years of service will receive a one-off jubilee award at the specified amount depending on a number of years of service. As a result, negative past service cost of PLN 64 million was recognised as a decrease in labour expense in the 9 months ended 30 September 2020 with a corresponding decrease in liabilities relating to employee benefits.
A correction resulting from immaterial errors in prior periods was recognised by the Group directly in retained earnings and presented as other movements in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The correction of PLN 48 million relates to capitalization of some indirect employee benefits as property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets.
The amount of trade payables subject to reverse factoring decreased from PLN 147 million as at 31 December 2019 to PLN 135 million as at 30 September 2020. These payables are presented together with the remaining balance of trade payables, as analysis conducted by the Group indicates they have retained their trade nature.
Net financial debt is a measure of indebtedness used by the Management Board. Since the calculation of this aggregate is not defined by IFRS, the methodology adopted by the Group is presented below:
| (in PLN millions) | At 30 September 2020 |
At 31 December 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Loans from related party | 6,127 | 6,442 |
| Other financial liabilities at amortised cost | 9 | 69 |
| Derivatives – net (liabilities less assets) | 32 | 30 |
| Gross financial debt after derivatives | 6,168 | 6,541 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | (321) | (404) |
| Cash flow hedge reserve | (120) | (50) |
| Net financial debt | 5,727 | 6,087 |
In the 9 months ended 30 September 2020, the net cash flows from issuance and repayments of the Revolving Credit Facility from Atlas Services Belgium S.A., a subsidiary of Orange S.A., amounted to PLN (360) million.
As at 30 September 2020, the total outstanding balance of loans from the related party amounted to PLN 6,127 million, including accrued interest and arrangement fees. The weighted average effective interest rate on loans from the related party amounted to1.38% before swaps and 3.15% after swaps as at 30 September 2020.
As at 30 September 2020, the total nominal amount of cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps, outstanding under the agreement with Orange S.A. concerning derivative transactions, was EUR 190 million and PLN 5,450 million, respectively, with a total negative fair value amounting to PLN 75 million.
In June 2020, the Group and Orange S.A. concluded an agreement extending the access to back-up liquidity funding of PLN 500 million under Cash Management Treasury Agreement to 31 December 2021.
The Group's financial assets and liabilities that are measured subsequent to their initial recognition at fair value comprise derivative instruments and selected trade receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments. As at 30 September 2020 and 31 December 2019, the total negative fair value of derivatives amounted to PLN 32 million and PLN 30 million, respectively, and fair value of selected trade receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments amounted to PLN 119 million and PLN 218 million, respectively. The fair value of these instruments is determined as described in Notes 13.1 and 22 to the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. Significant inputs to the valuation techniques used by the Group to measure the fair value of derivatives and selected trade receivables are classified to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy described in Note 23.1.
The carrying amount of the Group's financial instruments excluding lease liabilities approximates their fair value, except for telecommunications licence payables and a loan from related party based on fixed interest rate for which as at 30 September 2020 the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying amount respectively by PLN 52 million and PLN 48 million (PLN 65 million and PLN 34 million as at 31 December 2019) due to significant change between the original effective interest rates at the date of the initial recognition and current market rates.
In accordance with the recommendation of the Management Board of the Company there was no dividend paid in 2020.
The information hereunder refers to the matters presented in Note 29 to the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 or describes major matters that occurred after 31 December 2019.
a. Proceedings by UOKiK and claims connected with them
UOKiK informed the Company that it had further prolonged the proceedings. The indicated date of prolongation was 30 April 2020. There was no further prolongation but UOKiK has not issued a decision in these proceedings up to the date of publication of these financial statements.
P4 Sp. z o.o.'s statement of claim for PLN 314 million has not yet been served on Orange Polska.
In the appeal proceedings regarding P4's claim for PLN 316 million, the Appeal Court scheduled a hearing for 14 December 2020.
b. Other contingent liabilities and provisions
Apart from the above-mentioned, operational activities of the Group are subject to legal, tax, social and administrative regulations and the Group is a party to a number of legal and tax proceedings and commercial contracts related to its operational activities. Some regulatory decisions can be detrimental to the Group and court verdicts within appeal proceedings against such decisions can have negative consequences for the Group. Also, there are claims including for damages or contractual penalties raised by counterparties to commercial contracts which may result in cash outflows.
Furthermore, the Group uses fixed assets of other parties in order to provide telecommunications services. The terms of use of these assets are not always formalised and as such, the Group is subject to claims and might be subject to future claims in this respect, which will probably result in cash outflows in the future. The amount of the potential obligations or future commitments cannot yet be measured with sufficient reliability due to legal complexities involved.
The Group monitors the risks on a regular basis and the Management Board believes that adequate provisions have been recorded for known and quantifiable risks. Information regarding the range of potential outcomes has not been separately disclosed as, in the opinion of the Group's Management, such disclosure could prejudice the outcome of the pending cases.
As at 30 September 2020, Orange S.A. owned 50.67% of shares of the Company. Orange S.A. has majority of the total number of votes at the General Meeting of OPL S.A. which appoints OPL S.A.'s Supervisory Board Members. The Supervisory Board decides about the composition of the Management Board. According to the Company's Articles of Association, at least 4 Members of the Supervisory Board must be independent.

Orange Polska S.A. ("Orange Polska" or "the Company" or "OPL S.A."), a joint stock company, was incorporated and commenced its operations on 4 December 1991. Orange Polska shares are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Orange Polska is the principal provider of telecommunications services in Poland. The Company provides mobile and fixed telecommunications services, including calls, messaging, content, access to the Internet and TV. In addition, Orange Polska provides IT and integration services, leased lines and other telecommunications value added services, sells telecommunications equipment, provides data transmission and sells electrical energy.
Orange Polska's registered office is located in Warsaw at 160 Aleje Jerozolimskie St.
These unaudited Condensed IFRS Quarterly Separate Financial Statements for the 9 months ended 30 September 2020 (the "Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements") have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") and with all accounting standards applicable to interim financial reporting adopted by the European Union, issued and effective as at the time of preparing the Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements (see also Note 3).
These Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Orange Polska S.A. IFRS Separate Financial Statements and the notes thereto ("IFRS Separate Financial Statements") for the year ended 31 December 2019.
The Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements include the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and selected explanatory notes.
Costs that arise unevenly during the year are anticipated or deferred in the quarterly financial statements only if it would also be appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the year.
Orange Polska S.A. is the parent company of the Orange Polska Group ("the Group", "OPL Group") and prepares quarterly consolidated financial statements for the 9 months ended 30 September 2020. The Group is a part of Orange Group, based in France.
These Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements are prepared in millions of Polish zloty ("PLN") and were authorised for issuance by the Management Board on 28 October 2020.
As at 30 September 2020, the Company's current liabilities exceeded current assets by PLN 4,601 million. The related party loans of PLN 3,560 million (presented in Note 17 to the IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019) are due in May and June 2021. The Management is discussing and negotiating the refinancing of these loans with the parent company, and based on current discussions and past experience, believes that they will be successful. Furthermore, the Management analysed the timing, nature and scale of potential financing needs of the Company and believes that available cash as well as expected operating cash inflows will be sufficient to fund the Company's anticipated cash requirements for working capital purposes. Consequently, the Condensed Quarterly
Separate Financial Statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future, for at least the next twelve months.
There were no new standards or interpretations, issued from the date when the IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 were issued. Changes to standards and interpretations in 2020 did not result in any changes to accounting policies applied by the Company.
In December 2019 the Committee published its decision (the "Decision") in respect to the lease term. The Committee discussed the concepts of "penalties" and "enforceable period", which are used in the determination of the lease term and provided guidance on how they should be understood and applied when determining the lease term. The Committee concluded that the contract is enforceable as long as the lessee or the lessor would have to bear more than an insignificant penalty in case of termination of the contract. Therefore, even in the absence of option for the lessee to extend the lease at its discretion, the reasonably certain lease term shall be assessed in order to determine the lease term and, as a result, the amounts of the lease liability and of the right-of-use asset. Furthermore, according to the Committee, the concept of "penalty" should be considered as all economic disincentives and should not be limited only to contractual penalties.
As a result of the Decision and the analysis performed in 2020, the Company changed its accounting policy in respect of the determination of the lease term of cancellable leases. The change was applied retrospectively and impacted the statement of financial position as at 1 January 2019. The Company assessed the reasonably certain lease terms of cancellable lease contracts to be equal to 5 years for all lease contracts, except for 18 years for road occupancy leases where fixed network infrastructure is placed. This change in accounting policy resulted in the recognition of additional right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities, mainly in respect of leases of premises and ground for fixed and mobile network infrastructure.
Adoption of changes described above affected the statement of financial position as at 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2019, the income statement, total comprehensive income and statement of cash flows for the 3 and 9 months ended 30 September 2019 as follows:

1) Includes changes related to presentation of foreign exchange gain/losses described in Note 3.
On 28 May 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board has issued an amendment "COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions" to IFRS 16 Leases to make it easier for lessees to account for COVID-19-related rent concessions. The amendment exempts lessees from having to consider individual lease contracts to determine whether rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications and allows lessees to account for such rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications. The amendment has been endorsed
by the European Union in October 2020. The adoption of the amendment will not have a significant effect on the Company's financial statements.
Except for the changes described in Note 2 and presented below, the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements are materially consistent with those described in Notes 2 and 31 to the audited IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
Starting from 2020, the Company changed its accounting policy relating to presentation of foreign exchange gains/losses arising on revaluation and settlement of lease liabilities and related hedging instruments as follows:
Lease liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and related hedging instruments are re-measured at the end of the reporting period and the resulting translation differences are recorded in the income statement in finance costs, net (previously in other operating income/expense).
As a result, the comparative amounts for the 3 and 9 months ended 30 September 2019 were adjusted to conform to the new accounting policy and PLN (14) million of foreign exchange losses were reclassified from other operating income/expense to finance costs, net. Additionally, foreign exchange gains/losses for the 3 and 9 months ended 30 September 2019 amounting to PLN (6) million and PLN (3) million, respectively, presented within finance costs, net, were separated from other interest expense and financial charges to new line item.
The Company believes that the new presentation better reflects the economic nature of lease contracts which are long-term financial liabilities used for financing purpose and their impact should be presented in the income statement in finance costs, net.

The Company's activities are subject to some seasonality. The fourth quarter is typically a peak sales season with high commercial spending and with increased capital expenditures resulting from investment cycle management applied by the Company. Seasonally high capital expenditures in the fourth quarter are followed by higher payments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets suppliers in the first quarter of the subsequent year resulting in higher cash used in investing activities.
In March 2020, COVID-19 was officially declared as a pandemic. The authorities closed the borders, introduced a lockdown on schools, some businesses and facilities and restricted movement of people to leaving home for essential reasons only. The imposed restrictions have been progressively lifted starting from end of April 2020. The pandemic has significantly impacted the Polish economy. Consensus of forecasts indicates that Poland's GDP is likely to fall by 3.6% in 2020, which is confirmed by actual data for the first half of 2020 (GDP decrease by 3.2%). At the same time the consensus indicates that GDP in Poland could return to growth in 2021 although the pace of the recovery is highly uncertain at the moment. The government has introduced 5 sets of legislation (Anti-crisis Shields and Financial Shield) targeted mainly on micro, small and medium companies, aimed at counterbalancing the crisis impact. The situation is dynamic, Poland and other countries experience a second wave of COVID-19, some restrictions have been imposed again and funds from the protective shields have been distributed. The government intends to offer some additional support for companies from sectors which suffer most from current restrictions.
Since mid-March, the Company has implemented a number of actions to adapt to the crisis situation, ensure business continuity and reduce the risks of the pandemic. The pandemic had an impact on the Company's ability
to achieve its business goals in the 9 months ended 30 September 2020. The Management has adopted a number of counteractive measures to mitigate the negative impact of the pandemic on Company's business performance. Based on the up to date observations, the Company discloses the following major impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on its operations, financial position and performance in the 9 months ended 30 September 2020:
As at 30 September 2020, the Company performed an analysis to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the realization of contractual commitments. The results of the analysis have been adequately recognised in the Company's financial statements.
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, its financial position and performance in next periods depends on many factors which are beyond the control of the Company. These factors include, among others: the length and severity of the pandemic, measures taken by the government to limit the pandemic and to protect society from the effects of the crisis and in result its ultimate impact on the Polish economy. The Company will monitor the COVID-19 situation, its impact on the Polish economy, as well as indicators more specific to the Company.
In June 2020, Orange Polska signed with Trade Unions amendments to the Collective Labour Agreement. Under the current provisions of the Collective Labour Agreement, employees are entitled to jubilee awards upon completion of a certain number of years of service. According to the agreed changes, these current rules regarding jubilee awards will be cancelled from April 2021. At the same time, in the period between April and December 2021, employees with 15-30 years of service will receive a one-off jubilee award at the specified amount depending on a number of years of service. As a result, negative past service cost of PLN 64 million was recognised as a decrease in labour expense in the 9 months ended 30 September 2020 with a corresponding decrease in liabilities relating to employee benefits.
A correction resulting from immaterial errors in prior periods was recognised by the Company directly in retained earnings and presented as other movements in the statement of changes in equity. The correction of PLN 48 million relates to capitalization of some indirect employee benefits as property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets.
The amount of trade payables subject to reverse factoring decreased from PLN 137 million as at 31 December 2019 to PLN 125 million as at 30 September 2020. These payables are presented together with the remaining balance of trade payables, as analysis conducted by the Company indicates they have retained their trade nature.
In the 9 months ended 30 September 2020, the net cash flows from issuance and repayments of the Revolving Credit Facility from Atlas Services Belgium S.A., a subsidiary of Orange S.A., amounted to PLN (360) million.
As at 30 September 2020, the total outstanding balance of loans from the related parties amounted to PLN 6,202 million, including accrued interest and arrangement fees. The weighted average effective interest rate on loans from the related parties amounted to 1.37% before swaps and 3.11% after swaps as at 30 September 2020.
As at 30 September 2020, the total nominal amount of cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps, outstanding under the agreement with Orange S.A. concerning derivative transactions, was EUR 190 million and PLN 5,450 million, respectively, with a total negative fair value amounting to PLN 75 million.
In June 2020, the Company and Orange S.A. concluded an agreement extending the access to back-up liquidity funding of PLN 500 million under Cash Management Treasury Agreement to 31 December 2021.
The Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured subsequent to their initial recognition at fair value comprise derivative instruments and selected trade receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments. As at 30 September 2020 and 31 December 2019, the total negative fair value of derivatives amounted to PLN 32 million and PLN 30 million, respectively, and fair value of selected trade receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments amounted to PLN 119 million and PLN 218 million, respectively. The fair value of these instruments is determined as described in Notes 12.1 and 21 to the IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. Significant inputs to the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure the fair value of derivatives and selected trade receivables are classified to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy described in Note 22.1.
The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments excluding lease liabilities approximates their fair value, except for telecommunications licence payables and a loan from related party based on fixed interest rate for which as at 30 September 2020 the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying amount respectively by PLN 52 million and PLN 48 million (PLN 65 million and PLN 34 million as at 31 December 2019) due to significant change between the original effective interest rates at the date of the initial recognition and current market rates.
In accordance with the recommendation of the Management Board of the Company there was no dividend paid in 2020.
The information hereunder refers to the matters presented in Note 28 to the IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 or describes major matters that occurred after 31 December 2019.
a. Proceedings by UOKiK and claims connected with them
UOKiK informed the Company that it had further prolonged the proceedings. The indicated date of prolongation was 30 April 2020. There was no further prolongation but UOKiK has not issued a decision in these proceedings up to the date of publication of these financial statements.
P4 Sp. z o.o.'s statement of claim for PLN 314 million has not yet been served on Orange Polska.
In the appeal proceedings regarding P4's claim for PLN 316 million, the Appeal Court scheduled a hearing for 14 December 2020.
b. Other contingent liabilities and provisions
Apart from the above-mentioned, operational activities of the Company are subject to legal, tax, social and administrative regulations and the Company is a party to a number of legal and tax proceedings and commercial contracts related to its operational activities. Some regulatory decisions can be detrimental to the Company and court verdicts within appeal proceedings against such decisions can have negative consequences for the Company. Also, there are claims including for damages or contractual penalties raised by counterparties to commercial contracts which may result in cash outflows.
Furthermore, the Company uses fixed assets of other parties in order to provide telecommunications services. The terms of use of these assets are not always formalised and as such, the Company is subject to claims and might be subject to future claims in this respect, which will probably result in cash outflows in the future. The amount of the potential obligations or future commitments cannot be yet measured with sufficient reliability due to legal complexities involved.
The Company monitors the risks on a regular basis and the Management Board believes that adequate provisions have been recorded for known and quantifiable risks. Information regarding the range of potential outcomes has not been separately disclosed as, in the opinion of the Company's Management, such disclosure could prejudice the outcome of the pending cases.
