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 3 months ended 31 March 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 3 months ended 31 March 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 3 months ended 31 March 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 3 months ended 31 March 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 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 April 2020.
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.
On 16 December 2019 the IFRS Interpretation Committee finalised the tentative agenda decision in respect to the lease term and useful life of leasehold improvements. In the light of the decision of the Committee, the Group continues its analysis of how the reasonably certain lease terms should be determined for each lease contract. At the date of preparation of these financial statements this analysis was still ongoing. The Committee's decision will lead to the recognition of additional right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities presented in the consolidated statement of financial position, mainly in respect of leases of technical premises for fixed and mobile network and subsurface rights. Taking into consideration the number and diversity of contracts potentially affected and the fact that formal Committee decision was published on 16 December 2019, there was insufficient time to reliably measure and account for or disclose the impact of the change in the accounting policy resulting from the decision.
Except for the changes 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.
Additionally, foreign exchange gains/losses 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.
Revenue is disaggregated as follows:
| Mobile only services | Revenue from mobile offers (excluding consumer market convergent offers) and Machine to Machine connectivity. Mobile only services revenue does not include equipment sales, incoming and visitor roaming revenue. |
|---|---|
| Fixed only services | Revenue from fixed offers (excluding consumer market convergent offers) including mainly (i) fixed broadband (including wireless for fixed), (ii) fixed narrowband, and (iii) data infrastructure and networks for business customers. |
| Convergent services (consumer market) |
Revenue from consumer market convergent offers. A convergent offer is defined as an offer combining at least a broadband access and a mobile voice contract with a financial benefit (excluding MVNOs). Convergent services revenue does not include equipment sales, incoming and visitor roaming revenue. |
| Equipment sales | Revenue from all retail mobile and fixed equipment sales, excluding equipment sales associated with the supply of IT and integration services. |
| IT and integration services |
Revenue from ICT (Information and Communications Technology) services and Internet of Things services, including equipment sales associated with the supply of these services. |

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. Public gatherings were banned, with authorities urging society to stay at home. According to current government announcements, the restrictions imposed have started to be progressively eliminated starting from 20 April 2020. Rapid spread of COVID-19 and social distancing obligation might significantly impact Polish economy. Various GDP forecasts present decrease of GDP growth or recession in 2020. There has been a significant weakening of PLN against EUR and USD, as well as drop in WIG20 index calculated for 20 biggest companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The government has announced 2 sets of legislation (Anti-crisis Shield and Financial Shield) targeted mainly on micro, small and medium companies, aimed at counterbalancing the crisis impact.
Orange Polska has immediately implemented a number of actions to adapt to the crisis situation, ensure business continuity and reduce the risks posed by the pandemic. The management is analysing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Orange Polska's operations on a daily basis. 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 3 months ended 31 March 2020:
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on Orange Polska, 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 threat and to protect society from the effects of the crisis and in result its ultimate impact on the Polish economy. Orange Polska will monitor the COVID-19 situation, its impact on the Polish economy, as well as indicators more specific to the Group.
The amount of trade payables subject to reverse factoring increased from PLN 147 million as at 31 December 2019 to PLN 194 million as at 31 March 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 31 March 2020 |
At 31 December 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Loans from related party | 6,492 | 6,442 |
| Other financial liabilities at amortised cost | 112 | 69 |
| Derivatives – net (liabilities less assets) | 4 | 30 |
| Gross financial debt after derivatives | 6,608 | 6,541 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | (327) | (404) |
| Cash flow hedge reserve | (106) | (50) |
| Net financial debt | 6,175 | 6,087 |
As at 31 March 2020, the total outstanding balance of loans from the related party amounted to PLN 6,492 million, including accrued interest and arrangement fees. The weighted average effective interest rate on loans from the related party amounted to 2.08% before swaps and 3.11% after swaps as at 31 March 2020.
As at 31 March 2020, the total nominal amount of cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps, outstanding under the agreement with Orange S.A., was EUR 190 million and PLN 5,450 million, respectively, with a total negative fair value amounting to PLN 67 million.
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 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2019, the total negative fair value of derivatives amounted to PLN 4 million and PLN 30 million, respectively, and fair value of selected trade receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments amounted to PLN 186 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 technique 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 31 March 2020 the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying amount respectively by PLN 64 million and PLN 47 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.
On 12 February 2020, the Management Board of Orange Polska S.A. adopted a resolution not to recommend payment of any dividend 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 is 30 April 2020.
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, Orange Polska has not yet been notified about a date of the Appeal Court's hearing.
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. 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.
As at 31 March 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. The majority of Members of the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board are independent.
The Group's income earned from the Orange Group comprises mainly wholesale telecommunications services and research and development income. The purchases from the Orange Group comprise mainly brand fees and wholesale telecommunications services.
Financial receivables, liabilities, finance costs, net and other comprehensive loss concerning transactions with the Orange Group relate mainly to loan agreements concluded with Atlas Services Belgium S.A. and agreement with Orange S.A. concerning derivative transactions to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk related to the above-mentioned loan agreements. Cash and cash equivalents deposited with Orange S.A. relate to the Cash Management Treasury Agreement.

These unaudited Condensed IFRS Quarterly Separate Financial Statements for the 3 months ended 31 March 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 3 months ended 31 March 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 April 2020.
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.
On 16 December 2019 the IFRS Interpretation Committee finalised the tentative agenda decision in respect to the lease term and useful life of leasehold improvements. In the light of the decision of the Committee, the Company continues its analysis of how the reasonably certain lease terms should be determined for each lease contract. At the date of preparation of these financial statements this analysis was still ongoing. The Committee's decision will lead to the recognition of additional right-of-use assets and additional lease liabilities presented in the statement of financial position, mainly in respect of leases of technical premises for fixed and mobile network and subsurface rights. Taking into consideration the number and diversity of contracts potentially affected and the fact that formal Committee decision was published on 16 December 2019, there was insufficient time to reliably measure and account for or disclose the impact of the change in the accounting policy resulting from the decision.
Except for the changes 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.
Additionally, foreign exchange gains/losses presented within finance costs, net, were separated from other interest expense and financial charges to new line item.
