Part 1 – General information

Note 1.1 Corporate information

KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. ("the Parent Entity", "the Company") with its registered office in Lubin at 48 M.Skłodowskiej-Curie Street is a joint stock company registered at the Regional Court for Wrocław Fabryczna in Wrocław, Section IX (Economic) of the National Court Register, entry no. KRS 23302, on the territory of the Republic of Poland.

KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. has a multi-divisional organisational structure, comprised of a Head Office and 10 divisions: 3 mines (Lubin Mine Division, Polkowice-Sieroszowice Mine Division, Rudna Mine Division), 3 metallurgical plants (Głogów Smelter/Refinery, Legnica Smelter/Refinery, Cedynia Wire Rod Division), the Concentrator Division, the Tailings Division, the Mine-Smelter Emergency Rescue Division and the Data Center Division.

The shares of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

The Parent Entity's principal activities include:

  • the mining of copper and non-ferrous metals ores; and
  • the production of copper, precious and non-ferrous metals.

In addition, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group ("the Group") conducts other activities, which are described in Appendix no. 4 to the Management Board's Report on the activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in 2019.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared under the assumption that the Group's companies will continue as a going concern during a period of at least 12 months from the end of the reporting period in an unaltered form and business scope, and there are no reasons to suspect any intentional or forced discontinuation or significant limitation of its current activities. As at the date of signing of the consolidated financial statements the Management Board of the Parent Entity is not aware of any facts or circumstances that may cast doubt about the going concern in the foreseeable future.

The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group carries out exploration and the mining of copper, nickel and precious metals based on concessions given for the Polish deposits to KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., and also based on legal titles held by KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. and KGHM AJAX MINING INC. for the exploration for or mining of these resources in the USA, Canada, and Chile. Detailed information is presented in the Management Board's report on the activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A and of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in 2019 (point 2.4).

In 2019, the Parent Entity of the Group consolidated 72 subsidiaries and used the equity method to account for the shares of two joint ventures (Sierra Gorda S.C.M. and NANO CARBON Sp. z o.o. in liquidation). TUW Cuprum is excluded from consolidation.

Declaration by the Management Board on the accuracy of the prepared financial statements

The Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. declares that according to its best judgement the annual consolidated financial statements for 2019 and the comparative data have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles currently in force, and give a true, fair and clear view of the financial position of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and the profit for the period of the Group.

The Management Board's report on the activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in 2019 presents a true picture of the development and achievements, as well as the condition, of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, including a description of the basic exposures and risks.

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue and signed by the Management Board of the Parent Entity on 16 March 2020.

Note 1.2 Basis of preparation and presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, on the basis of historical cost, except for financial instruments classified as measured at fair value and investment properties measured at fair value.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of the Group which apply to the consolidated financial statements as a whole, as well as significant estimates and their impact on amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements, are presented in the following note.

Topic Accounting policies Significant estimates
Consolidation
principles
The consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the Parent Entity and its subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are understood as being entities which are
either directly controlled by the Parent Entity or indirectly
through its subsidiaries.
Obtaining
control of a subsidiary, which is a business, is
accounted for using the acquisition method.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which
control is obtained to the date on which control is lost.
Balances,
incomes,
expenses
and
unrealised
gains
recognised in assets from intra-group transactions, are
eliminated.
Determining whether the Parent
Entity has control over a company
requires an assessment as to
whether it has rights to direct
relevant activities of the company.
Determining
what
constitutes
relevant activities of the company
and
by
which
investor
it
is
controlled requires a judgment.
Among
others,
the
following
factors
are
taken
into
consideration when assessing the
situation
and
determining
the
nature
of
relationships:
voting
rights,
relative
voting
power,
dilution of voting rights of other
investors
and
their
ability
to
appoint
members
of
key
management
personnel
or
members
of
the
supervisory
board.
Fair value
measurement
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an
asset or would be paid for a transfer of a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. For financial reporting purposes, a fair value hierarchy
was established that categorises the inputs into three levels.
The fair value hierarchy levels are as follows:
Level 1
Value is based on inputs from active markets, as
they are seen as the most reliable source of data.
Level 2
Value is based on inputs other than from active
markets,
which
are
nevertheless
observable
(unbiased, measurable).
Level 3
Value is based on unobservable inputs, used when
it is not possible to acquire data from the first two
measurement levels. It includes all measurements
based on subjective inputs.
Fair
value
presents
current
estimates which may be subject to
change in subsequent reporting
periods due to market conditions
or due to other factors. There are
many methods of measuring fair
value,
which
may
result
in
differences in fair values.
Moreover,
assumptions
constituting the basis of fair value
measurement
may
require
estimating
the
changes
in
costs/prices
over
time,
the
discount rate, inflation rate or
other significant variables.
Certain
assumptions
and
estimates
are
necessary
to
determine to which level of fair
value hierarchy a given instrument
should be classified.
Financial
statements of
subsidiaries
with a
functional
currency other
than PLN
For purposes of preparing the consolidated financial
statements in the presentation currency of the KGHM Polska
Miedź S.A. Group, i.e. in PLN, individual items of financial
statements of foreign operations whose functional currencies
are other than PLN are translated in the following manner:
(i)
assets and liabilities – at the closing rate, i.e. at the
average exchange rate for that currency announced by

Impact of application of IFRS 16 "Leases" and amendments to IAS 23 on the Company's accounting policy and on the Company's separate financial statements.

IFRS 16 Leases

Basic information on the standard

Date of implementation and transitional rules

IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and has been adopted by the European Union. It superseded the IAS 17 standard, interpretations IFRIC 4 and SIC 15 and 27. The Group applies IFRS 16 from 1 January 2019.

Main changes introduced by the standard

The new standard introduced a single model for recognising a lease in a lessee's accounting books, conforming to the recognition of a finance lease under IAS 17. Pursuant to IFRS 16, an agreement is a lease or contains a lease if it transfers the rights to control the use of an identified asset for a given period in exchange for consideration.

The essential element differentiating the definition of a lease from IAS 17 and from IFRS 16 is the requirement to have control over the used, specific asset, indicated directly or implied in the agreement.

Transfer of the right to use takes place when we have an identified asset, with respect to which the lessee has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from its use, and controls the use of a given asset in a given period.

If the definition of a "lease" is met, the right to use an asset is recognised alongside a corresponding lease liability, set in the amount of future discounted payments – for the duration of the lease.

Expenses related to the use of lease assets, the majority of which were previously recognised in external services costs, are currently classified as depreciation/amortisation and interest costs.

Right-to-use assets are depreciated in accordance with IAS 16, while lease liabilities are settled using the effective interest rate.

The requirements of the new standard with respect to recognition and measurement by the lessor are similar to the requirements of IAS 17. A lease is classified as financial or operational also in accordance with IFRS 16. Compared to IAS 17, the new standard changed the principles of classification of a sublease and requires the lessor to disclose additional information.

Impact of IFRS 16 on the financial statements

The Group had completed the work related to implementation of the new standard IFRS 16 in the fourth quarter of 2018. The project to implement IFRS 16 (project), was executed in three stages:

  • stage I – analysis of all executed agreements for the purchase of services, regardless of their classification, the goal of which was to identify agreements based on which the Group companies use assets belonging to suppliers; in addition, this stage comprised the analysis of perpetual usufruct rights to land as well as land easements and transmission easements,

  • stage II – the evaluation of each agreement identified in stage I in terms of its meeting the criteria to be recognised as a lease pursuant to IFRS 16,

  • stage III - implementation of IFRS 16 based on the developed concept.

All agreements involving a finance lease, operating lease, rentals, leases, perpetual usufruct rights to land or transmission easements and land easements were analysed. Also analysed were transactions involving purchased services (external service costs under operating activities) in terms of any occurrence of use of the identified assets.

Under this project the Group carried out appropriate changes in accounting policy and operating procedures. Methods were developed and implemented for the proper identification of lease agreements and for gathering data needed in order to properly account for such transactions.

The Group decided to apply the standard from 1 January 2019. In accordance with the transition rules described in IFRS 16.C5 (b), the new principles were adopted retrospectively, and the accumulated impact of initial application of the new standard was recognised in equity as at 1 January 2019. Consequently, comparable data for financial year 2018 were not restated (the modified retrospective approach).

Following are the individual adjustments arising from the implementation of IFRS 16.

Description of adjustments

a) Recognition of lease liabilities

Following the adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognises lease liabilities related to agreements which were previously classified as "operating leases" in accordance with IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of lease payments due to be paid as at the date of commencement of the application of IFRS 16. For purposes of implementation of IFRS 16 and disclosure with respect to the impact of implementation of IFRS 16, discounting was applied using the Group's incremental borrowing rate as at 1 January 2019.

At their date of initial recognition, lease payments contained in the amount of lease liabilities comprise the following types of payments for the right to use the underlying asset for the life of the lease:

  • fixed lease payments less any lease incentives,
  • variable lease payments which are dependent on indices or market interest rates,
  • amounts expected to be payable under guaranteed residual value of the leased object,
  • the strike price of a purchase option, if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised, and
  • payment due to contractual penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease period reflects the lessee's use of the option of terminating the lease.

For the purposes of calculating the discount rate under IFRS 16, the Group assumed that the discount rate should reflect the cost of financing which would be drawn to purchase an asset with a similar value to right to use of the object of a given lease. To estimate the amount of the discount rate, the Group considered the following contractual parameters: the type and life of an agreement, the currency applied and the potential margin which would have to be paid to financial institutions to obtain financing.

As at 1 January 2019, the discount rates calculated by the Group were within the following ranges (depending on the life of the agreement):

  • for PLN-denominated agreements: from 4.25% to 5.86%,
  • for EUR-denominated agreements: from 2.10% to 4.63%.
  • for USD-denominated agreements: from 5.42% to 6.08%.
  • for CAD-denominated agreements: from 4.70% to 5.75%.

The Group used expedients with respect to short-term leases (up to 12 months) as well as in the case of leases in respect of which the underlying asset has a low value (up to PLN 20 000) and for which agreements the Group does not recognise financial liabilities nor any respective right-to-use assets. These types of lease payments are recognised as costs using the straight-line method during the life of the lease.

b) Recognition of right-to-use assets

Right-to-use assets are measured at cost.

The initial cost of a right-to-use asset comprises:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liabilities,
  • any lease payments paid at the commencement date or earlier, less any lease incentives received,
  • initial direct costs incurred by the lessee as a result of entering into a lease agreement,
  • estimates of costs which are to be incurred by the lessee as a result of an obligation to disassemble and remove an underlying asset or to carry out renovation.

On the day of initial application, in the case of leases previously classified as operating leases under IAS 17, right-to-use assets were measured by the Group at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments related to that lease, recognised in the statement of financial position directly preceding the date of the initial application of IFRS 16.

Following initial recognition, right-to-use assets are depreciated under IAS 16 and are subjected to impairment testing pursuant to IAS 36.

c) Application of estimates

The implementation of IFRS 16 required making certain estimates and calculations which effected the measurement of lease liabilities and of right-to-use assets. These include among others:

  • determining which agreements are subject to IFRS 16,
  • determining the remaining life of leases for agreements entered into before 1 January 2019 (including for agreements with unspecified lives or which may be prolonged),
  • determining the incremental borrowing rates applied for the purpose of discounting future cash flows, and
  • determining useful lives and the depreciation rates of right-to-use assets, recognised as at 1 January 2019.

d) Application of practical expedients

  • In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
  • application of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics,
  • assessment as to whether leases are onerous as defined by IAS 37 at the moment of implementation of the standard as an alternative to performing impairment testing of a leased asset,
  • the treatment of operating lease agreements for which the remaining lease term is less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 as short-term leases, and
  • the use of hindsight (i.e. knowledge gained after the fact) in determining the lease period if the agreement contains options to prolong or terminate the lease.

e) Impact of implementation of IFRS 16 on the financial statements

As at 31 December 2018, the Group had non-cancellable, off-balance sheet operating lease liabilities in respect of the following agreements: perpetual usufruct of land, lease of land, lease of machines and equipment and other leases. As at 31 December 2018, their notional amount was PLN 1 489 million, of which the amount of PLN 1 478 million concerns lease agreements in accordance with IFRS 16, and excludes short-term leases and the lease of low-value assets.

For the aforementioned agreements, the Group measured the present value of assets used under these agreements and recognised, as at 1 January 2019, right-to-use assets in the amount of PLN 637 million and a corresponding lease liability in the same amount.

In the case of lease agreements previously classified as financial leases, the carrying amounts of right-to-use assets and lease liabilities as at 1 January 2019 are equal to amounts measured pursuant to IAS 17 as at 31 December 2018.

Off-balance sheet lease liabilities in the amount of PLN 1 478 million were written-off.

In the case of agreements in which the Group companies are lessors, application of IFRS 16 did not necessitate the recognition of adjustments as at 1 January 2019.

Summary of the financial impact of the implementation of IFRS 16 (this only concerns lease agreements entered into or amended before 1 January 2019);

Reconciliation of transition from IAS 17 to IFRS 16:

- increase in interest costs 32
- increase in depreciation/amortisation 55

- decrease in net cash flows - financing activities (73)

In 2019, the Group additionally allocated a lease interest cost in the amount of PLN 12 million to the initial value of fixed assets under construction as capitalised costs of external financing.

The costs of short-term lease agreements and of low-value assets lease agreements entered into or modified in 2019 are immaterial.

Agreements for 2019 were measured using the following discount rates:

  • for PLN-denominated agreements: from 3.93% to 5.86%,
  • for EUR-denominated agreements: from 1.93% to 4.63%,
  • for USD-denominated agreements: from 4.89% to 6.08%,
  • for CAD-denominated agreements: from 4.11% to 5.75%,

Impact on financial ratios

Given the fact that lease agreements are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position, the implementation of IFRS 16 by the Group affected its balance sheet ratios, including the debt to equity ratio. Moreover, as a result of the implementation of IFRS 16 there were changes in profit ratios (such as operating profit, EBITDA), as well as in cash flow from operating activities. The Parent Entity has analysed the impact of all of these changes in terms of compliance with covenants contained in credit agreements to which it is a party, and did not identify any risk of breaches in these covenants.

Amendments to IAS 23

Amendments to IAS 23, introduced as part of annual improvements to IFRS Standards, 2015-2017 Cycle, clarify that, in the case of general financing, in order to apply a capitalisation rate to expenditures incurred on individual assets, all borrowing costs related to items of external financing representing liabilities of an entity in a given period, other than borrowing drawn specifically in order to obtain an adjusted asset, are recognised. This means that only borrowing costs related to items of borrowing drawn specifically in order to obtain an adjusted asset up to the moment of finalisation of its adjustment are not included when calculating the capitalisation rate. In accordance with transition rules, the change is applied to borrowing costs incurred from the beginning of the annual period in which an entity applies these changes for the first time. Because of this, from 1 January 2019 the Group additionally included in the capitalisation rate calculation the costs of financing related to specific purpose bank loans, insofar as they did not finance the construction of specified adjusted assets and lease finance costs in 2019. The application of the amendments to IAS 23 did not have a significant impact on the financial statements of the Group.

Note 1.4 Published standards and interpretations, which are not yet in force and were not applied earlier by the Group

The Group did not decide to apply early published standards, interpretations or amendments to existing standards before their entry into force in these financial statements.

Other standards and interpretations published but not yet in force:

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 with respect to the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture,
  • IFRS 17 Insurance contracts,
  • Revision of IFRS Conceptual Framework,
  • Amendments to IFRS 3 on the definition of a business,
  • Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 on the definition of "material",
  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 in connection with interest rate benchmark reform,
  • Amendments to IAS 1 on classification of liabilities as current or non-current.

The aforementioned standards, with the exception of the Revision of the IFRS Conceptual Framework, amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 on the definition of "material" and amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 in connection with interest rate benchmark reform, are awaiting adoption by the European Union. The Company aims to apply all of the amendments at their effective dates. Except for IFRS 17, which will not have an impact on the Group's financial statements, in the Group's opinion as at 31 December 2019, these standards will be applicable to its activities in the scope of future economic operations, transactions or other events, towards which these amendments to standards are applicable.

Location of mining assets of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group

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 to 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 the investment in KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.) are measured at cost.
  • 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, the share of losses of joint ventures accounted for using the equity method, impairment losses on interest in a joint venture, depreciation/amortisation and impairment losses on property, plant and equipment included in the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses. Since adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined by IFRS, it 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 tax liabilities.

Note 2.3 Revenues from contracts with customers of the Group – breakdown by products

Accounting policies

The Group generates its revenues mainly from the sale of: copper, silver and gold. Other, smaller streams of revenues arise from the sale of services and other products (including electricity), merchandise and materials (including steel and petroleum and its derivatives).

In accordance with IFRS 15, from 1 January 2018 the Group recognises revenue from contracts with customers when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or providing a service to a customer, which is when the customer obtains control of that asset, i.e. the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset, as well as the ability to prevent other entities from directing the use of, and obtaining the benefits from, the asset.

The Group recognises as a performance obligation every contractual promise to transfer to a customer a good or provide a service that is distinct, or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. For each performance obligation, the Group determines (based on contractual terms), whether the obligation will be performed over time or at a specified moment.

The Group recognises revenues from the sale of products, merchandise and materials in profit or loss once, when the performance obligation is satisfied (in particular in accordance with the applied INCOTERMS principles). In the majority of contracts, control is transferred to the customer after delivery of the goods, which is also understood as delivery of the goods to the carrier or to a designated facility (DAP, FCA and EX WORKS bases). In other contracts, control is transferred to the customer at the moment it is handed over to the carrier and loaded aboard a ship (CFR, CIF, CPT and CIP bases). In these contracts, the Group is also obliged to organise a shipping service.

The Group uses various payment dates in trade contracts, including prepayments of up to several days before delivery and deferred payments of up to 120 days, although the deferred payments do not concern silver. The payment dates depend on the evaluation of the recipient's credit risk and the possibility of securing receivables. The payment dates are not contingent on the moment of satisfying a performance obligation. The Group recognises received prepayments as contractual payables, while in the case of deferred payments the Company recognises due consideration as contractual assets and transfers them to receivables at the moment the right to consideration becomes unconditional. The date on which the consideration comes due depends on the payment conditions specified in individual contracts, or comes before the realisation of the delivery (prepayment) or is set as a specified number of days after the date of sale indicated in a given invoice.

Revenues from the sale of services are recognised in profit or loss over time if one of the following criteria is met:

  • the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's performance to the extent that the entity performs its obligations, or
  • the Group satisfies a performance obligation and creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in progress) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, or
  • the Group's performance creates an asset without an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

The Group recognises revenues over time due to realised mine construction services and other geological work. The Group meets liabilities in time, because the client simultaneously receives and makes use of economic benefits arising from the performed service as it is performed, or because components are made which do not have an alternative application for the Group and simultaneously the Group has an enforceable right to payment. To measure the degree of advancement of obligation performance, the Group applies a method based on expenses incurred while meeting the performance obligation on the basis of incurred costs and for other contracts, a method based on results, where the unit cost set in advance is applied to measure the unit of production (e.g. meters of drilled tunneling).

Revenues arising from ordinary operating activities of the Group, i.e. revenues from sales of products, merchandise and materials, are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as revenues from contracts with customers.

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognised in the amount of the transaction price, consisting of the amount of consideration to which – in accordance with the Group's expectations – it will be given in return for the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer, excluding consideration collected on behalf of third parties.

The transaction price also reflects the effects of the time value of money if a contract with a customer contains a significant financing element, which is determined based on the contractual payment terms, regardless of whether the promise of financing is explicitly stated in the contract. In determining whether a financing component is significant for a given agreement, all of the facts and circumstances are taken into consideration, including the eventual difference between the promised consideration and the cash selling price of the promised goods and services, as well as the total impact of the following two factors: (i) the estimated period from the moment an entity transfers the promised goods or services to a customer to the moment the customer pays for these goods or services, and (ii) prevailing interest rates on a given market. In the realised contracts of sales to customers in 2019 and 2018, the Group identified a significant financing component in the contract with Franco Nevada (contract described below in Important estimates and assumptions).

The Group presents the results of financing (interest costs) in revenues from contracts with customers in the statement of comprehensive income. In the Franco Nevada contract, there is also an element of variable consideration. In such a situation, the Group recognises revenues by estimating the amount of consideration, to which it will be entitled to in exchange for transferring the good to the customer and includes a part or all of the amount of variable consideration in the transaction price only to such an extent to which it is highly probable that there will not be a reversal of a significant part of previously recognised accumulated revenues at the moment when uncertainty as to the amount of consideration ceases to be.

In the case of copper and silver products sales transactions for which the price is set after the date of recognition of a given sale, at the moment of initial recognition of a transaction an adjustment of revenues from sales is made, arising from the difference between the forward price of a metal expressed in USD from the date of recognition of a sale in the period corresponding to the period of settlement of the transaction, and the price from provisional invoice. This adjustment brings the amount of the transaction to the expected amount as a transaction price at the moment of initial recognition. This only concerns cases where the change in transaction price arises from a change in the metal's price. For these types of variable revenues, the limitation of IFRS 15 on recognising variable consideration only to the amount in respect of which it is highly probable that a reversal will not be recognised, is not applicable. Changes to the booked amount after the moment of recognition do not impact the revenues from sales but are fair value gains/losses on measurement of receivables pursuant to the policy presented in Note 10.2.

Sales revenue is adjusted for the gain or loss on the settlement of cash flow hedging derivatives, in accordance with the general principle that the portion of gain or loss on a derivative hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in the same position of profit or loss in which the gain or loss on the hedged item is recognised at the moment when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

Important estimates and assumptions

The contract with Franco Nevada

The Group realises the streaming arrangement contract, which is a source of financing available on the market for entities operating in the mining sector.

The contract (signed in 2008 between Quadra FNX Mining Ltd. and Franco Nevada) concerns the sale of half of the production of gold, platinum and palladium contained in the ore extracted during the lives of the following mines: Morrison, McCreedy West and Podolsky (CGU Sudbury). Pursuant to the contract Quadra FNX Mining Ltd. received a prepayment in the amount of CAD 400 million.

Moreover, pursuant to the contract, the selling price for one ounce of gold equivalent is the lower of these two amounts: (a) USD 400, increased by an indexation rate in each year after 2011, or (b) the market price of gold. The received prepayment covers the difference between the market price of ore sold and its fixed selling price. The Group recognised a liability due to the contract in the amount of prepayment due to the obligation put on the entity to meet the obligation to transfer or be ready to transfer goods or services in the future. The entity will cease to recognise this contractual obligation (and will recognise revenues) at the moment it transfers these goods or services and therefore meet its performance obligation.

Variable consideration

In the contract with Franco Nevada the total transaction price is variable and depends on the amount of the raw material sold, and this in turn depends on ore extraction in the future throughout the life of the mine (including for example on the size of the deposit). Therefore, if in subsequent reporting periods the Group enacts any changes to the planned amount of ore to be extracted, and consequently to the amount of raw material sold, the transaction price will also be updated.

The Group recognises amounts related to satisfied performance obligations as revenue or as a decrease of revenue in the period in which the transaction price was changed.

Significant financing component

In the context of the contract with Franco Nevada, taking into consideration the expected period from the moment when prepayment is received to the moment when the Group transfers the promised good (the life of the mine, or several decades) and the nature of this contract, it was determined that the extension of payments over time provides benefits to the Group due to the financing of deliveries of raw material to the buyer (Franco Nevada), and as a result the contract includes a significant financing element.

The Group presents the effects of financing (interest costs) separately from revenue from contracts with customers in the statement of comprehensive income. Interest costs are recognised solely to the extent to which the liabilities related to the contract with Franco Nevada were recognised.

Part 3 – Impairment of assets

Note 3.1. Impairment of assets as at 31 December 2019

ASSESSMENT OF THE RISK OF IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS IN TERMS OF MARKET CAPITALISATION OF KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

Due to the periodic maintenance in 2019 of the Parent Entity's market capitalisation below the carrying amount of net assets, in accordance with IAS 36 the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. conducted an analysis to determine which areas of the Company's activities may be impaired. As the result of the conducted analysis, it was determined that impairment testing of non-current assets of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group was necessary (held by Future 1 Sp. z o.o., a subsidiary of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.). A description of the adopted assumptions and results of the test conducted on non-current assets of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group is presented below. The Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. also analysed whether the Polish production assets of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. were impaired. In the assessment in particular the following were analysed: past financial results of the Parent Entity, forecasts of the copper price adopted for subsequent years of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.'s operations, USD/PLN exchange rate fluctuations and their impact on the level of results achieved by the Parent Entity, ore deposit availability, production technology, production costs, levels of market interest rates, level of debt and the share price of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. versus other parameters such as the main stock exchange indices in Poland, and copper price and one-off events that did not have any connection with the fundamentals of the Parent Entity's operations in Poland. As a result of the assessment, it was judged that there was no relation between the fall in the share price of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. with the Polish activities of the Parent Entity, and as a result, it was decided that there was no risk of impairment of the Polish production assets of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

TEST FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS OF THE KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. GROUP

In the current period, as a result of the identification of indications of a possible change in the recoverable amounts of the international mining assets of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, the Parent Entity's Management Board performed impairment testing of these assets and took into account the results of these tests in the calculation of expected credit losses on loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (these loans are not part of the net investment in the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M., and an allowance for the impairment of loans measured at amortised cost is set pursuant to principles presented in note 6.2). The key indications to perform impairment testing were:

  • a significant change to the market paths of commodities prices forecasts,
  • a change in the assessed risk of individual projects and risk free rates which are the basis used to determine discount rates for testing purposes, and
  • a change in the technical and economic parameters of the mining assets of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group and Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (a joint venture in the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group) as respects production volumes, assumed operating costs and the level of capital expenditures during a mine's life.

The key indications that the recoverable amount may be higher than the carrying amount, and therefore it may be justifiable to reverse previously recognised impairment losses were:

  • a change in risk free rates,
  • a change in price paths for gold, palladium, silver and nickel,
  • the assumed level operating costs of the CGU Sierra Gorda,
  • risk evaluation of the CGU Robinson, and
  • extension of the Life of Mine of the CGU Robinson.

The key indications that the recoverable amount may be lower than the carrying amount, and therefore it may be necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss, were:

  • a change in copper price paths,
  • the level of capital expenditures during the life of mine of Sierra Gorda,
  • the volume of production of the CGU Sierra Gorda,
  • risk evaluation of the CGU Sierra Gorda Oxide project.

The following CGUs have been selected for the purpose of assessment of the recoverable amount of the assets of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group:

  • the Robinson mine,
  • the Sudbury Basin, comprising the Morrison mine, the McCreedy mine and the pre-operational Victoria project,
  • the Franke mine,
  • the Carlota mine,
  • involvement in the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M., including loans granted, and
  • the Ajax project.

To determine the recoverable amount of assets during the testing, their fair value (decreased by costs to sell) was calculated using the DCF method, i.e. the method of discounted cash flows for the CGU Sudbury and involvement in the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. and the value in use for the following CGUs: Franke, Robinson and Carlota. As for the recoverable amount of the CGU KGHM Ajax, due to a lack of indications of changes in the recoverable amount, it was set at its carrying amount.

The fair value of the CGU Sudbury and the CGU Sierra Gorda S.C.M. were classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Basic macroeconomic assumptions adopted in the impairment testing – metal prices

Price paths were adopted on the basis of long-term forecasts available from financial and analytical institutions. A detailed forecast is being prepared for the period 2020-2024, while for the period 2025-2029 a technical adjustment of prices was applied between the last year of the detailed forecast, and 2030, from which a long-term metal price forecast is used, as follows:

  • for copper – 6 614 USD/t (3.00 USD/lb);

  • for gold 1 500 USD/oz;

  • for nickel 8.00 USD/lb.

Assumptions adopted for testing of mineral reserves and resources

In its annual budgeting process, in order to determine its Reserves and Resources, the Group uses block models based on the price paths current at the moment of commencing work. Moreover, it takes into account information obtained, from the moment of preparation of the previous budget to the day the work commenced on the new budget, as a result of supplementary drilling (quality information, e.g. % Cu) and metallurgical drilling (e.g. Cu recovery). Moreover, geotechnical and hydrogeological information is used.

The Victoria project's deposit has copper-nickel ore with a significant percentage of precious metals. The identified mineralisation zone of the Victoria project was classified as "Inferred". Exploration work commenced in 2008. Moreover, in the years 2015 – 2016 exploration work was performed on the deep part of the deposit, under the so-called Deep Drilling Program. In 2019, exploration work took place, aimed at deepening the knowledge on the project's reserves and resources.

The Pampa Lina's mineralisation potential (CGU Sierra Gorda S.C.M.'s deposit) was estimated based on the executed scope of exploration work, in particular on the basis of drilling performed, geophysical analyses and geological hypotheses.

The estimation of Pampa Lina's mineralisation potential is based on the work of specialist external companies and work executed by the company itself. Sierra Gorda S.C.M. has rights to the mineralisation of Pampa Lina.

** In total for all assets of the CGU, i.e. McCreedy, Morrison and Victoria.

Key factors responsible for modification of technical and economic assumptions
Sierra Gorda Increase in average operating margin due to a decrease in operating costs for the processing plant
and mine.
Sudbury Increase in the ore resource base of copper and precious metals of the McCreedy mine thanks to
drilling carried out in 2019. In addition, the commencement of mining of nickel ore from the McCreedy
deposit was deferred from the year 2020 to 2021.
Robinson The inclusion in the mining plans of the Liberty pit, at which mining has been suspended since 2013.
This was thanks to additional drilling, geotechnical and metallurgical tests in the years 2018 and 2019
as well as to technical and feasibility analyses of the Liberty deposit prepared on their basis. Another
factor is the introduction of changes in gold recovery calculations, due to the higher-than-assumed
historical execution of forecasts in this regard.
Franke Documentation of additional oxide ore resources and the update of mining plans, which enabled the
extension of mine life by an additional production year.
Carlota Increase in the resource base for the Eder deposit and the delay in commencement of operations
there. In addition, recovery calculations for copper leaching using SSL (sub-surface leaching)
technology were updated.

Results of the test performed as at 31 December 2019 are presented in the following table:

* the carrying amount of fixed assets decreased by the provision for future decommissioning costs of mines, which in the case of the CGU Franke and the CGU Carlota was higher than the carrying amount of the tested assets,

**the carrying amount of CGU Sierra Gorda S.C.M. consists only of the amount of the loan granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M., because the carrying amount of the Group's investment in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. equals 0 (Part 6. Involvement in joint ventures).

The following took place as a result of the conducted test:

  • for the CGU Sudbury, a reversal of an impairment loss, which was recognised in the following items: "Other operating income" in the amount of PLN 150 million and "Cost of sales" in the amount of PLN 19 million,
  • for the CGU Sierra Gorda S.C.M., a reversal of an allowance for impairment, which was recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, in the item "gains due to reversal of allowances for impairment of loans granted to joint ventures". On the basis of estimates on the repayment of loans granted, an increase in the recoverable amount of receivable due to loans was determined, which was the basis to partially reverse an allowance for impairment recognised at the moment of initial recognition of a loan (POCI). The conducted test showed a recoverable amount for the investment in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. of 0.

The results of tests performed as at 31 December 2019 for the CGUs Robinson, Franke and Carlota confirmed that their recoverable amounts are equal to their carrying amounts.

EVALUATION OF IMPAIRMENT OF WATER RIGHTS

In the Group, water rights in Chile are annually subjected to impairment testing by comparing their carrying amount to the recoverable amount, which is set as fair value decreased by costs to sell. The fair value of water rights is classified under level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in which fair value measurements are based on significant observable input data, other than market prices.

For the year ended on 31 December 2019, the Group assessed the factors impacting the recoverable amount of the asset and concluded that there are no grounds for recognising an impairment loss, as the water price and the estimated amount of water available for extraction did not change compared to the level of these factors adopted for measurement as at 31 December 2018. The carrying amount of water rights amounted to PLN 65 million as at 31 December 2019 (as at 31 December 2018: PLN 65 million).

It was determined that there are no indications of impairment of the other non-current assets of the Group.

Note 3.2. Results of impairment testing of the Group's assets as at 31 December 2018

TEST FOR IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT OF THE KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. GROUP

As at 31 December 2018, as a result of the identification of indications of possible change in the recoverable amounts of international assets of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, such as: the Sudbury Basin, the Franke mine, and involvement in the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M., the Management Board of the Parent Entity tested these assets for impairment, identifying each of them as separate cash generating units (CGUs).

The key indication to perform impairment testing on the assets was the significant change in the technical and economic parameters of the mining assets, such as mine lives, production volume, reserves and resources, assumed operating costs and the level of capital expenditures during a mine's life. To determine the recoverable amount of assets during the testing, the following were measured at fair value (decreased by costs to sell) using the DCF (discounted cash flows) method: the CGU Sudbury and involvement in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. and at the value in use of the CGU Franke. The fair value was classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The approach applied by the Group in 2018 with respect to the measurement of loans pursuant to IFRS 9 was consistent with the approach in 2019. Detailed description in Part 3. Test for the impairment of assets of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group as at 31 December 2019

Basic macroeconomic assumptions adopted in the impairment testing
Assumption Level adopted for testing
Copper price The price path for copper was set based on internal macroeconomic
assumptions developed with the use of long-term forecasts available from
financial and analytical institutions. A detailed forecast is being prepared for
the period 2019-2023, while for the period 2024-2028 a technical
adjustment of prices was applied between the last year of the detailed
forecast, and 2029, from which a long-term metal price forecast of 6 614
USD/t (3.00 USD/lb) is used. The long-term forecasted copper price has not
changed as compared to the long-term price adopted for conducting testing
as at 31 December 2017.

* In order to maintain data cohesion between individual CGUs, the presented data is post-taxation despite the model of measuring the value in use for the CGU Franke. The use of pre-taxation data does not significantly impact the recoverable amount.

Key factors responsible for modification of the technical and economic assumptions
Sierra Gorda Postponement to subsequent years of capital expenditures from 2017-2018
related to the
debottlenecking program and from the oxide ore processing project. In the previous test,
expenditures on the aforementioned projects were included in the period not covered by current
assumptions. The update of the multi-year mine plan resulted in the prolongation of the mine's life by
3 years.
Sudbury On-going optimisation of the multi-year plan of KGHM's operating activities in the Sudbury Basin.
Among others, as a result of the activities undertaken, the extraction of ore from the Morrison deposit
is planned to be halted in the first quarter of 2019 along with a recommencement of production by
the McCreedy West mine. The update of the multi-year plans resulted in an increase in capital
expenditures, a change in the production volumes of individual metals and an extension of the
production period by one year. The assumptions adopted for the Victoria project have not changed
significantly as compared to the testing conducted as at 31 December 2017.
Franke Identification of additional deposits of oxide ore and an update of the mining plans, which allows for a
prolongation of the mine's life by an additional production year.

The test carried out indicated justification to reverse a part of the allowance for impairment, recognised in prior years, on loans granted to the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

The results of tests performed as at 31 December 2018 for CGU Sudbury and CGU Franke confirmed that their fair value is equal to their carrying amounts.

EVALUATION OF IMPAIRMENT OF WATER RIGHTS

In the Group, water rights in Chile are annually subjected to impairment testing by comparing their carrying amount to the recoverable amount, which is set as fair value decreased by costs to sell. The fair value of water rights is classified under level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in which fair value measurements are based on significant observable input data, other than market prices.

For the year ended on 31 December 2018, the Group assessed the financial factors and came to the conclusion that there is no need to recognise an impairment loss, as the estimated amount of water available for extraction did not change compared to the amount estimated as at 31 December 2017.

Part 5 - Taxation

Note 5.1 Income tax in the consolidated statement of profit or loss

Accounting policies

Income tax recognised in profit or loss comprises current income tax and deferred income tax. Current income tax is calculated in accordance with current tax laws.

Tax adjustments for prior periods ( 160) 1
Income tax 701 808

Current tax adjustments for prior periods concern CIT adjustments for 2016 – 2018, prepared and settled with the tax office. The tax adjustment was prepared because, among others, the Parent entity recognised the following expenses as tax deductible costs:

  • costs incurred due to changes introduced to plans of land conversion, on which an investment is being advanced these are expenses related, among others, to excluding land from agricultural and forestry production, and one-off compensations for premature forestry logging,
  • costs incurred to obtain a concession for exploration, evaluation and mining of minerals,
  • costs incurred on components and major overhauls,
  • costs incurred on exploration and evaluation of mineral deposits.

These expenses were recognised in the Parent Entity's adjustment of the annual tax return as tax deductible costs after receiving positive judgments of the Administrative Court issued due to the Parent Entity's complaints on negative interpretations of the Director of the National Tax and Customs Information Office.

In 2019, Group entities paid income tax in the amount of PLN 410 million (in 2018: PLN 802 million) to the appropriate tax office. The difference between the tax paid by the Group in 2019 as compared to the tax paid in 2018 is mainly due to a change in the manner of payment of tax advances in 2019 as compared to 2018.

In 2018, tax advances were determined on a simplified basis, monthly in fixed amounts, on the basis of income achieved in 2016.

In 2019, due to the change in composition of companies comprising the KGHM's Tax Group, and therefore the creation of a new taxpayer commencing its activities, the Group changed the method of determining tax advances to one based on actually achieved quarterly income, which resulted in a decrease in advances paid in 2019, because the advance for the fourth quarter of 2019 will be paid in 2020.

The table below presents differences between income tax from profit before tax for the Group and the income tax which could be achieved if the Parent Entity's tax rate was applied:

In Poland, tax bodies are empowered to audit tax declarations for a period of five years, although during this period companies may offset tax assets with tax liabilities being the income of the State Treasury (including due to current income tax). In Canada, tax declarations may be audited for a period of three years without the right to offset assets with liabilities due to current income tax.

Note 5.1.1 Deferred income tax

Accounting policies Significant estimates and assumptions
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and tax laws that are
expected to be applicable when the asset is realised or the liability is
settled based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are recognised for
temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, with the
exception of temporary differences arising from initial recognition of
assets or liabilities in transactions other than business combinations.
Deferred tax assets are recognised if it is probable that taxable profit will
be available against which the deductible temporary differences and
unused tax losses can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if the company
has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current
tax liabilities, and if the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
relate to income taxes levied on a given entity by the same tax authority.
The probability of realising the deferred tax assets
with future tax income is based on the budgets of
the companies of the Group. Companies of the
Group recognised deferred tax assets in their
accounting books to the extent that it is probable
that taxable profit will be available against which
the deductible temporary differences can be
utilised.
Companies of the Group which historically have
generated losses, and whose financial projections
do not foresee the achievement of taxable profit
enabling the deduction of deductible temporary
differences, do not recognise deferred tax assets
in their accounting books.

As at 31 December 2019, the amount of deductible temporary differences, on which the Group did not recognise a deferred tax asset, amounted to PLN 3 610 million (as at 31 December 2018: PLN 3 295 million).

As at 31 December 2019, at the level of the consolidated financial statements, there was no recognition of deferred tax liabilities on taxable temporary differences in the amount of PLN 958 million (as at 31 December 2018: PLN 965 million) related to investments in subsidiaries and shares in joint ventures, as the conditions stipulated in IAS 12.39 were met.

Accounting policies

Tax assets comprise current income tax assets and the settlement related to VAT.

Assets not representing financial assets are initially recognised at nominal value and are measured at the end of the reporting period at the amount due.

Tax liabilities comprise the Group's liabilities towards the tax office arising from the corporate income tax, including due to the withholding tax, personal income tax and liabilities due to the minerals extraction tax and the excise tax. Liabilities not representing financial liabilities are measured at the amount due.

Part 6 – Involvement in joint ventures

Accounting policies

The item "involvement in joint ventures" comprises investments in joint ventures accounted for using the equity method and loans granted to joint ventures.

The Group classifies as investments accounted for using the equity method interests in joint ventures which are joint contractual arrangements, in which the parties sharing control have the right to the net assets of a given entity. Joint control occurs when decisions on the relevant activities of joint ventures require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

Investments are initially recognised at cost. The Group's share in the profit or loss of entities accounted for using the equity method (assessed while taking into account the impact of measurements to fair value at the investment's acquisition date) from the acquisition date is recognised in profit or loss, while its share in changes of accumulated other comprehensive income from the acquisition date is recognised in the relevant item of accumulated comprehensive income.

Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the investor and the joint venture are eliminated in an amount proportional to the investor's share in these profits/losses.

If there are any indications of impairment, an investment is tested for impairment by calculating the recoverable amount in accordance with the policy presented in Part 3.

Loans granted to joint ventures do not meet the criteria of recognition as net investments in a joint venture, because the loan's settlement is planned and probable in the foreseeable future.

Significant estimates and assumptions

Joint control

The Group classifies Sierra Gorda S.C.M. as a joint venture under IFRS 11, in which KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.'s share equals 55%. Classification of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. as a joint venture, despite the 55% share of the Group, was made based on analysis of the terms of the agreements between the parties and contractual stipulations which indicated joint control. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, all relevant activities of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. require the unanimous consent of both owners. The Group and other owners have three members each in the appointed Owners Council. The Owners Council makes strategic decisions and is responsible for overseeing their execution. Moreover, it approves the appointment of senior management. In the reporting period, there were no changes to provisions that were the basis of classifying the investment as a joint venture.

As at 31 December 2019, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group's share in the unsettled accumulated losses of Sierra Gorda S.C.M amounted to PLN 5 098 million (as at 31 December 2018: PLN 4 976 million). The Group stopped recognising its share of losses of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. at the moment the value of this share exceeded the carrying amount of the interest in the investment in Sierra Gorda S.C.M., which is equal to PLN 0. After reducing the share to zero, the Group performed an analysis whether there is a legal or customary obligation to pay on Sierra Gorda's behalf, which would result in an obligation of the Group to recognise a liability for this reason. Moreover, the Group analysed the terms of guarantees granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. to secure the payments due to lease contracts entered into, payment guarantees with respect to working capital facilities which meet the definition of financial guarantees and letters of credit to secure the proper performance of a long-term contract for the supply of electricity, which does not meet the definition of a financial guarantee pursuant to IFRS 9.

On the basis of conducted analyses, the Group does not identify the existence of a legal or customary obligation to pay on Sierra Gorda S.C.M.'s behalf, which is described in IAS 28.39.

Other information on the Group's involvement in the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

As stated in the Common Security Agreement and share pledge agreements, as at 31 December 2019 2 215 400 shares in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. held by the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group (carrying amount of shares: PLN 0) were pledged as collateral to banks that granted an investment corporate bank loan to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. for the advancement of the Sierra Gorda project. The collateral will expire when the bank loan is fully repaid, which is expected to take place on 15 June 2021.

As at 31 December 2018, 2 215 400 shares were pledged as collateral (carrying amount: PLN 0).

Note 6.2 Loans granted to joint ventures (Sierra Gorda S.C.M.)

Accounting policies Significant estimates and assumptions
Loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. were classified
as credit-impaired financial assets due to the high
credit risk at the moment of initial recognition
(POCI). POCI loans are measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest rate, adjusted by the
credit risk, reflecting impairment calculated using
the model of expected losses.
The terms of repayment of loans granted to finance operations
abroad, including planned repayment dates, were set in individual
agreements. Pursuant to the schedule, the principal amount and
interest are paid on demand, but not later than 15 December 2024.
The start of repayment of loans by Sierra Gorda S.C.M. will depend
on the company's financial standing. It is assumed in the long-term
plans of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. that the loans will be repaid with
interest. The Group does not foresee the demand to repay the loan
by the end of 2020, and therefore the loan is presented as a non
current receivable. Due to the fact that settling the loan is planned
and probable in the foreseeable future, the loan is not a net
investment under IAS 21.15.
Due to the existing indications, the Group performed impairment
testing on international assets in 2019 and reversed allowances for
impairment of the loan granted to Sierra Gorda in the amount of
PLN 106 million as at 31 December 2019 (the Group presents
detailed information on the test in Part 3 of this Report). The Group
used a recoverable amount, calculated pursuant to IAS 36 on the
basis of the model of discounted cash flows, to calculate the
amount of these loans which are expected to be repaid. For these
loans, the Group determined that the application of the model of
discounted cash flows prepared pursuant to IAS 36 will also
address the requirements of IFRS 9, because their fair value reflects
the amount that could be gained after the immediate sale of Sierra
Gorda at the end of the reporting period.

The loan granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. has a fixed interest rate.

As at 31 December 2019, the Group estimated cash flows on repayment of receivables due to loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. in the amount of PLN 5 694 million, which were higher than the carrying amount of loans (PLN 5 588 million) by the amount of PLN 106 million, as a result of which there was a reversal of an allowance for impairment recognised at the moment of initial recognition of an asset (in the comparable period there was a reversal of an allowance for impairment in the amount of PLN 733 million).

Other financial assets - 24 - 8
Derivatives, of which: - 143 - 416
Assets - 417 - 621
Liabilities - ( 274) - ( 205)

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

Level 1

Listed shares

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

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 risk-free 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.

Trade receivables transferred to factoring, due to the short term between the transfer of receivables to the factor and their payment and to the low credit risk of the counterparty (factor), the fair value of these receivables includes an adjustment by the amount of transaction costs, which are the factor's compensation, and therefore corresponds to the amount of trade receivables transferred to the factor (nominal value from the invoice) less interest.

Other financial assets/liabilities

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

Currency and currency-interest derivatives

In the case of currency derivatives transactions on the currency market and currency-interest transactions (CIRS), the forward prices from the maturity dates of individual transactions were used to determine their fair value. The forward price for currency exchange rates was calculated on the basis of fixing and appropriate interest rates. Interest rates for currencies and the volatility ratios for exchange rates were taken from 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 approximation to the Black-Scholes model was used for Asian options pricing on metals markets.

Level 3

No financial instruments were measured at fair value which were classified to level 3 in either the reporting or the comparable period in the Group.

There was no transfer in the Group of financial instruments between individual levels of the fair value hierarchy, in either the reporting or the comparable periods, nor was there any change in the classification of instruments as a result of a change in the purpose or use of these instruments.

Note 7.2 Derivatives

Accounting policies

Derivatives are classified as financial assets/liabilities held for sale, unless they have not been designated as hedging instruments.

Purchases or sales of derivatives are recognised at the transaction date.

Derivatives not designated as hedges are initially recognised at fair value and at the end of the reporting period are measured at fair value, with recognition of the gains/losses on measurement in profit or loss.

Within the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, the Parent Entity applies hedge accounting for cash flows. Hedge accounting aims at reducing volatility in the Parent Entity's net result, arising from periodic changes in the measurement of transactions hedging individual types of market risk to which the Parent Entity is exposed. Hedging instruments may be derivatives as well as bank and other loans in foreign currencies.

The designated hedges relate to the future sales transactions forecasted as assumed in the Sales Plan for a given year. These plans are prepared based on the production capacities for a given period. The Parent Entity estimates that the probability that transactions included in the production plan will occur is very high, as from the historical point of view sales were always realised at the levels assumed in Sales Plans. Future cash flows arising from interest on bonds issued in PLN also represent a hedged position.

The Parent Entity may use natural currency risk hedging through the use of hedge accounting for bank and other loans denominated in USD, and designates them as positions hedging foreign currency risk, which relates to future revenues of the Parent Entity from sales of copper, silver and other metals, denominated in USD.

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedging instrument are recognised in other comprehensive income, to the extent by which the change in fair value represents an effective hedge of the associated hedged item. The portion which is ineffective is recognised in profit or loss as other operating income or costs. Gains or losses arising from the cash flow hedging instrument are recognised in profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment, in the same period or periods in which the hedged item affects profit or loss.

The Parent Entity ceases to account for derivatives as hedging instruments when they expire, are sold, terminated or settled, or when the goal of risk management for a given relation has changed.

The Parent Entity may designate a new hedging relationship for a given derivative, change the intended use of the derivative, or designate it to hedge another type of risk. In such a case, for cash flow hedges, gains or losses which arose in the periods in which the hedge was effective are retained in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item affects profit or loss.

If the hedge of a forecasted transaction ceases to function because it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, then the net gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.

If a hybrid contract has a basic instrument, which is not a financial asset, the derivative is separated from a basic instrument and is measured pursuant to rules for derivatives only, if (i) economic characteristic and risk of the embedded instrument are not strictly related to the character of the host contract and its risks, (ii) a separate instrument, whose characteristics reflect the traits of the embedded derivative, would fulfil the conditions of the derivatives, and (iii) combined instrument is not classified to financial assets measured at fair value, whose results of revaluation are recognised in other income or other operating costs in the reporting period. If an embedded derivative is separated, the host instrument is measured pursuant to appropriate accounting principles. The Parent Entity separates embedded derivatives in commodities transactions with settlement periods in the future, after the date of recognising a purchase invoice in the books up to the date of final settlement of the transaction.

If a hybrid contract has a basic instrument, which is a financial asset, the criteria for classification of financial assets are applied to the whole contract.

Note 7.3 Other financial instruments measured at fair value

Accounting policies

The item "Other financial instruments measured at fair value" mainly includes shares (listed and unquoted) which were not acquired for trading purposes, for which the option of measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income was selected in order to limit the volatility of the result and loans granted measured at fair value through profit or loss, because they did not pass the SPPI test.

Shares are initially recognised at fair value increased by transaction costs, and at the end of the reporting period they are measured at fair value with recognition of gains/losses from measurement in other comprehensive income. The amounts recognised in other comprehensive income are not transferred later to profit or loss. Accumulated gains/losses on a given equity instrument are transferred within equity to retained earnings at the moment an equity instrument is ceased to be recognised.

Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss.

The fair value of unquoted shares is calculated using the adjusted net assets method. The application of this method is due to the specific nature of assets of companies, whose shares are subject to measurement. 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 fixed-term deposits in financial institutions, and the risk-free discount rate published by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority). The fair value of listed shares is calculated based on the closing price as at the end of the reporting period.

The translation of shares expressed in a foreign currency is performed according to the accounting policies described in Note 1.3.

The fair value of loans is set at the present value of future cash flows, including any change in market risk and credit risk factors during the loans' life.

Unquoted shares 105 99

The measurement of listed shares is classified to level 1 of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. measurement is based on the prices of these shares listed on an active market at the measurement date), while the measurement of unquoted shares is classified to level 2 (i.e. measurement based on non-observable data).

The measurement of loans granted is classified to level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Due to investments in listed companies, the Group is exposed to price risk. Changes in the listed share prices of these companies resulting from the current macroeconomic situation may have a significant impact on the level of other comprehensive income and on the accrued amount recognised in equity.

The following table presents the sensitivity analysis of listed companies shares to price changes.

Sensitivity analysis for significant types of market risk to which the Group is exposed presents the estimated impact of potential changes in individual risk factors (at the end of the reporting period) on profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Potential changes in share prices at the end of the reporting period were determined at the level of maximum deviations in a given year.

Note 7.4 Other financial instruments measured at amortised cost

Financial assets designated for decommissioning mines and restoring tailings storage facilities are exposed to the credit risk described in Note 7.5.2.4.

Details regarding revaluation of the provision for the decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities are described in Note 9.4.

Note 7.5 Financial risk management

In the course of its business activities the Group is exposed to the following main financial risks:

  • market risks:
    • o commodity risk,
    • o risk of changes in foreign exchange rates,
    • o risk of changes in interest rates,
    • o price risk related to investments in shares of listed companies (Note 7.3),
  • credit risk, and
  • liquidity risk (the process of financial liquidity management is described in Note 8).

The Group identifies and measures financial risk on an ongoing basis, and also takes actions aimed at minimising their impact on the financial position.

The Parent Entity manages identified financial risk factors in a conscious and responsible manner, using the adopted Market Risk Management Policy, the Financial Liquidity Management Policy and the Credit Risk Management Policy. The process of financial risk management in the Parent Entity is supported by the work of the Market Risk Committee, the Financial Liquidity Committee and the Credit Risk Committee.

Note 7.5.1 Market risk

The market risk to which the Group is exposed to is understood as the possible occurrence of negative impact on the Group's results arising from changes in the market prices of commodities, exchange rates, interest rates, and debt securities, as well as the share prices of listed companies.

Note 7.5.1.1 Principles and techniques of market risk management

In market risk management (especially commodity and currency risk) the scale and profile of activities of the Parent Entity and of mining companies of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. is of the greatest significance and impact on the results of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group.

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

In accordance with the adopted policy, the goals of the market risk management process in the Group are as follows:

  • limit volatility in the financial result;
  • increase the probability of meeting budget targets;
  • decrease the probability of losing financial liquidity;
  • maintain financial health; and
  • support the process of strategic decision making related to investing activities, including financing sources.

The objectives of market risk management should be considered as a whole, and their realisation is determined mainly by the Group's internal situation and market conditions.

The goals of market risk management at the Group level are achieved through their realisation in individual mining companies of the Group, with the coordination of these activities at the Parent Entity's level, in which key tasks related to the process of market risk management in the Group were centralised (such as coordination of the identification of sources of exposure to market risk, proposing hedging strategies, contacting financial institutions in order to sign, confirm and settle derivative transactions, and calculating measurements to fair value).

The primary technique used by the Parent Entity in market risk management is the utilisation of hedging strategies involving derivatives. Natural hedging is also used. Some other domestic companies of the Group make use of derivatives. However, only the Parent Entity applies hedging strategies, as understood by hedge accounting.

Taking into account the potential scope of their impact on the Group's results, market risk factors were divided into the following groups:

Group Market risk Approach to risk management
Note 7.2 Group I – factors

Other exchange rates less significant risks, although sometimes these risks are
significant from individual entities' points of view.
Therefore, it is tactically managed - on an ad-hoc basis,
Note 7.2 Interest rates taking advantage of favourable market conditions.

In market risk management various approaches are applied for particular, identified exposure groups. The Parent Entity considers the following factors when selecting hedging strategies or restructuring hedging positions: current and forecasted market conditions, the internal situation of the Entity, the effective level and cost of hedging, and the impact of the minerals extraction tax.

The Parent Entity applies an integrated approach to managing the market risk to which it is exposed. This means a comprehensive approach to market risk, and not to each element individually. An example is the hedging transactions on the currency market, which are closely related to contracts entered into on the metals market. The hedging of metals sales prices determines the probability of achieving specified revenues from sales in USD, which represent a hedged position for the strategy on the currency market.

The Parent Entity only executes those derivatives which it has the ability to evaluate internally, using standard pricing models appropriate for a particular type of derivative, and which can be traded without significant loss of value with a counterparty other than the one with whom the transaction was initially entered into. In evaluating the market value of a given instrument, the Parent Entity uses information obtained from leading information services, banks, and brokers.

The Market Risk Management Policy in the Group permits the use of the following types of instruments:

  • swaps;
  • forwards and futures;
  • options; and
  • structures combining the above instruments.

The instruments applied may be, therefore, either of standardised parameters (publicly traded instruments) or nonstandardised parameters (over-the-counter instruments). The primary instruments applied are cash flow hedging instruments meeting the requirements for effectiveness as understood by hedge accounting. The effectiveness of the financial hedging instruments applied by the Parent Entity in the reporting period is continually monitored and assessed (details in Note 7.2 Derivatives - accounting policies).

The economic relationship between a hedging instrument and a hedged position is based on the sensitivity of the value of the position to the same market factors (metals prices, exchange rates or interest rates) and on matching appropriate key parameters of the hedging instrument and the hedged position (volume/notional amount, maturity date).

The hedge ratio of the established hedging relationship is set at the amount ensuring the effectiveness of the relationship and is consistent with the actual volume of the hedged position and the hedging instrument. Sources of potential ineffectiveness of the relationship arise from a mismatch of the parameters of the hedging instrument and the hedged position (e.g. the notional amount, maturity, base instrument, impact of credit risk). When structuring a hedging transaction, the Parent Entity aims to ensure a maximal match between these parameters to minimise the sources of ineffectiveness.

The Parent Entity quantifies its market risk exposure using a consistent and comprehensive measure. Market risk management in the Group is supported by simulations (such as scenario analysis, stress-tests, backtests) and calculated risk measures. The risk measures being used are mainly based on mathematical and statistical modelling, which uses historical and current market data concerning risk factors and takes into consideration the current exposure to market risk.

One of the measures used as an auxiliary tool in making decisions in the market risk management process in the Parent Entity is EaR - Earnings at Risk. This measure indicates the lowest possible level of profit for the period for a selected level of confidence (for example, with 95% confidence the profit for a given year will be not lower than…). The EaR methodology enables the calculation of profit for the period incorporating the impact of changes in market prices of copper, silver and foreign exchange rates in the context of budget plans. EBITDA-at-Risk ratio is calculated for both the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group and the JV Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

Due to the risk of production cutbacks (for example because of force majeure) or failure to achieve planned foreign currency revenues, as well as purchases of metals contained in purchased materials, limits with respect to commitment in derivatives have been set.

For the Parent Entity limits on metals and currency markets were set at:

  • up to 85% of planned, monthly sales volume of copper, silver and gold from own concentrates, while: for copper and silver - up to 50% with respect to instruments which are obligations of the Parent Entity (for financing the hedging strategy), and up to 85% with respect to instruments representing the rights of the Parent Entity,
  • up to 85% of planned, monthly revenues from the sale of products from own concentrates in USD or of the monthly, contracted net currency cash flows in the case of other currencies. For purposes of setting the limit, expenses for servicing the debt denominated in USD decrease the nominal amount of exposure to be hedged.

With respect to the risk of changes in interest rates, the Parent Entity has set a limit of commitment in derivatives of up to 100% of the debt's nominal value in every interest period, as stipulated in the signed agreements.

For selected mining companies in the Group, limits were set for commitment in derivatives on the copper and currency markets at the same levels as those functioning in the Parent Entity, while with respect to transactions on the nickel, silver and gold markets the limits were set as up to 60% of planned, monthly sales volume from own concentrates.

These limits are in respect both of hedging transactions as well as of the instruments financing these transactions.

The maximum time horizon within which the Group decides to limit market risk is set in accordance with the technical and economic planning process and amounts to 5 years, whereas in terms of interest rate risk, the time horizon reaches up to the maturity date of the long-term financial liabilities of the Group.

Note 7.5.1.2 Commodity risk

The Parent Entity is exposed to the risk of changes in the prices of the metals it sells: copper, silver, gold and lead. Furthermore, the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group is exposed to the risk of changes in the prices of copper, gold, nickel, molybdenum, platinum and palladium.

In the Parent Entity and the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, the price formulas used in physical delivery contracts are mainly based on average monthly quotations from the London Metal Exchange for copper and other common metals and from the London Bullion Market for precious metals. Within the commercial policy, the Parent Entity and KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. set the price base for physical delivery contracts as the average price of the appropriate future month.

The permanent and direct link between sales proceeds and metals prices, without similar relationships on the expenditures side, results in a strategic exposure. In turn, operating exposure is a result of possible mismatches in the pricing of physical contracts with respect to the Group's benchmark profile, in particular in terms of the reference prices and the quotation periods.

On the metals market, the Group has a so-called long position, which means it has higher sales than purchases. The analysis of the Group's strategic exposure to market risk should be performed by deducting from the volume of metals sold the amount of metal in purchased materials.

The Group's strategic exposure to the risk of changes in the price of copper and silver in years 2018-2019 is presented in the table below:

2018
Net Sales Purchases Net Sales Purchases
Copper [t] 472 218 631 584 159 366 464 795 592 274 127 479
Silver [t] 1 378 1 397 19 1 216 1 234 18

The notional amount of copper price hedging strategies settled in 2019 represented approx. 22% (in 2018: 19%) of the total sales of this metal realised by the Parent Entity (it represented approx. 30% of net sales1 in 2019 and 25% in 2018). In 2018 and 2019 revenues from silver sales were not hedged by derivatives.

With respect to strategic management of market risk in 2019, the Parent Entity implemented copper price hedging transactions with a total notional amount of 153 thousand tonnes and a maturity period from July 2019 to December 2020 (of which: 135 thousand tonnes were in respect of hedging copper price for 2020) and also silver price hedging transactions with a total notional amount of 3.6 million ounces and a maturity period from January 2020 to December 2020. In addition, as part of the management of a net trading position in 2019, QP adjustment swap transactions were entered into on the copper and gold markets with maturities of up to June 2020. As a result, as at 31 December 2019 the Parent Entity held an open derivatives position for 199.5 thousand tonnes of copper (of which: 189 thousand tonnes came from strategic management of market risk, while 10.5 thousand tonnes came from the management of a net trading position) and 3.6 million troy ounces of silver.

The condensed tables of open derivatives transactions held by the Parent Entity on the copper and silver markets as at 31 December 2019, entered into as part of the strategic management of market risk, is presented below (the hedged notional in the presented periods is allocated evenly on a monthly basis).

In 2019 and in 2018, neither KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. nor any of the mining companies implemented any forward transactions on the commodity market. As at 31 December 2019, the risk of changes in metals prices was also related to derivatives embedded in the long-term contracts for supply of sulphuric acid and water.

As at 31 December 2018, the Group did not hold any open positions in derivatives on the silver market.

In order to determine the potential changes in metals prices for purposes of sensitivity analysis of commodity risk factors (copper), the mean reverting Schwarz model (the geometrical Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process) was used.

Note 7.5.1.3 Risk of changes in foreign exchange rates

Regarding the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates within the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, the following types of exposures were identified:

  • transaction exposure related to the volatility of cash flows in the base currency;
  • exposure related to the volatility of selected items of the statement of financial position in the base (functional) currency;
  • the exposure to net investments in foreign operations concerning volatility of consolidated equity in the Group's base currency (presentation currency).

The transaction exposure to currency risk derives from cash flow-generating contracts, whose values expressed in the base (functional) currency depend on future levels of exchange rates of the foreign currencies with respect to the base currency. Cash flows exposed to currency risk may possess the following characteristics:

  • denomination in the foreign currency cash flows are settled in foreign currencies other than the functional currency; and
  • indexation in the foreign currency cash flows may be settled in the base currency, but the price (i.e. of a metal) is set in a different foreign currency.

The key source of exposure to currency risk in the Parent Entity's business operations are the proceeds from sales of products (with respect to metals prices, processing and producer margins).

The exposure to currency risk derives also from items in the consolidated statement of financial position denominated in foreign currencies, which under the existing accounting regulations must be translated, upon settlement or periodic valuation, including the translation of foreign operations statements, by applying the current exchange rate of the foreign currencies versus the base (functional) currency. Changes in the carrying amounts of such items between valuation dates result in the volatility of profit or loss for the period or of other comprehensive income.

Items in the consolidated statement of financial position which are exposed to currency risk include in particular:

  • trade receivables and trade payables related to purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies;
  • financial receivables due to loans granted in foreign currencies;
  • financial liabilities due to borrowings in foreign currencies;
  • cash and cash equivalents in foreign currencies; and
  • derivatives on metals market.

As for the currency market, the notional amount of settled transactions hedging revenues from metals sales amounted to approx. 21% (in 2018: 32%) of the total revenues from sales of copper and silver realised by the Parent Entity in 2019.

In 2019 the Parent Entity entered into transactions hedging against a change in the USD/PLN exchange rate with a total notional amount of USD 1 560 million and maturity falling from July 2019 to December 2021 (of which: USD 1 380 million related to the hedging of the exchange rate for the years 2020-2021). Put options and collar and seagull options structures (European options) were purchased. Furthermore, in 2019 the Parent Entity entered into Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (CIRS) transactions for the notional amount of PLN 2 billion, hedging against the market risk connected with the issue of bonds in PLN with a variable interest rate2 .

The condensed table of open transactions in derivatives on the currency market as at 31 December 2019 is presented below (the hedged notional in the presented periods is allocated evenly on a monthly basis).

2 The debt due to bond issue in PLN generates a currency risk because most of the sales revenues of the Company are USD-denominated.

Some of the Group's Polish companies managed the currency risk related to their core business (among others trade) by opening transactions in derivatives, among others on the USD/PLN and EUR/PLN markets. The table of open transactions as at 31 December 2019 is not presented, due to its immateriality for the Group.

As for managing currency risk, the Parent Entity applies natural hedging by borrowing in the currency in which it has revenues. As at 31 December 2019, following their translation to PLN, the bank loans and the investment loans which were drawn in USD amounted to PLN 4 980 million (as at 31 December 2018: PLN 7 655 million).

The currency structure of financial instruments exposed to currency risk (change in the USD/PLN, EUR/PLN, CAD/PLN and GBP/PLN exchange rates) of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group is presented in the tables below.

Note 7.5.1.4 Interest rate risk

In 2019 the Group was exposed to the risk of changes in interest rates due to loans granted to joint ventures, investing cash, the reverse factoring program and using borrowings.

Positions with variable interest rates expose the Group to the risk of changes in cash flow from a given position as a result of changes in interest rates (i.e. it has an impact on the interest costs or income recognised in profit or loss). Positions with fixed interest rates expose the Group to the risk of fair value changes of a given position, excluding positions measured at amortised cost, for which the change in fair value does not affect their measurement and profit or loss.

*** In order to improve financial liquidity of the Parent Entity and provide suppliers with an additional source of financing, the Parent Entity implemented reverse factoring in the period ended on 31 December 2019. Due to the above, for a part of the portfolio of trade payables, extension of payment dates were agreed upon in exchange for additional consideration in the form of interest. Interest is calculated with a variable rate, based on a fixed margin increased by a specified reference rate determined for individual currencies. Details on reverse factoring may be found in note 10.3 and 10.4.

In 2019 the Parent Entity entered into Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (CIRS) transactions for the notional amount of PLN 2 billion, hedging against the market risk connected with the issue of bonds in PLN with a variable interest rate.

Note 7.5.2 Credit risk

Credit risk is defined as the risk that the Group's counterparties will not be able to meet their contractual liabilities and involves three main areas:

  • the creditworthiness of the customers with whom physical sale transactions are undertaken;
  • the creditworthiness of the financial institutions (banks/brokers) with whom, or through whom, hedging transactions are undertaken, as well as those in which free cash and cash equivalents are deposited; and
  • the financial standing of subsidiaries borrowers.

In particular, the sources of exposure to credit risk are:

  • cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits;
  • derivatives;
  • trade receivables;
  • loans granted (Note 6.2);
  • guarantees granted (Note 8.6); and
  • other financial assets.

Accounting policies

The Group recognises impairment loss on expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost. Expected credit losses are credit losses weighed by the default probability. The Group applies the following models for designating impairment losses:

  • the simplified model– for trade receivables,

  • the general (basic) model – for other financial assets.

Under the general model the Group monitors changes in the level of credit risk related to a given financial asset and classifies financial assets to one of three stages of determining impairment losses – based on observations of changes in the level of credit risk compared to an instrument's initial recognition. In particular, the following are monitored: the credit rating and the financial condition of the customer and the payment delay period. Depending on which stage it is classified to, an impairment loss is estimated for a 12-month period (stage 1) or in the horizon of lifetime (stage 2 and stage 3). The absolute indicator of default is an overdue period of more than 90 days.

Under the simplified model the Group does not monitor changes in the level of credit risk during the instrument's life and estimates the expected credit loss over the time horizon of maturity of the instrument based on historical data respecting the repayments of receivables.

Note 7.5.2.1 Credit risk related to cash, cash equivalents and bank deposits

The Group allocates periodically free cash in accordance with the requirements to maintain financial liquidity and limit risk and in order to protect capital and maximise interest income.

As at 31 December 2019, the total amount of free and restricted cash and cash equivalents of PLN 1 014 million was held in bank accounts and in short-term deposits.

All entities with which deposit transactions are entered into by the Group, operate in the financial sector. Analysis of exposure to this type of risk indicated that these are solely banks with the highest, medium-high and medium ratings, and which have an appropriate level of equity and a strong, stable market position. The credit risk in this regard is monitored through the on-going review of the financial standing and by maintaining an appropriately low concentration levels in individual financial institutions.

The following table presents the level of concentration of cash and deposits, with the assessed creditworthiness of the financial institutions*.

As at 31 December 2019 the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from cash and bank deposits amounted to 19%, or PLN 189 million (as at 31 December 2018: 24%, or PLN 227 million).

Impairment losses on cash and cash equivalents were determined individually for each balance of a given financial institution. External bank ratings were used to measure credit risk. The analysis determined that these assets have a low credit risk at the reporting date. The Group used a simplification permitted by the standard and the impairment loss was determined on the basis of 12-month credit losses. The calculation of impairment determined that the amount of impairment loss is insignificant.

Note 7.5.2.2 Credit risk related to derivative transactions

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

The Group's credit exposure related to open and unsettled derivatives by main counterparties is presented in the table below3 .

Taking into consideration the fair value of open derivative transactions entered into by the Group and the fair value of unsettled derivatives, as at 31 December 2019 the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 15%, i.e. PLN 49 million (as at 31 December 2018: 22%, i.e. PLN 121 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 framework agreements entered into with its customers) to the level of the positive balance of fair value measurement of transactions in derivatives with a given counterparty. Moreover, the resulting credit risk is continuously monitored by the review of the credit ratings and is limited by striving to diversify the portfolio while implementing hedging strategies.

Despite the concentration of credit risk associated with derivatives' transactions, the Parent Entity has determined that, due to its cooperation only 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.

3 Net positive fair value (financial receivables – financial liabilities) of open and unsettled derivatives is taken into account, including a breakdown by hedged market risk factors.

Note 7.5.2.3 Credit risk related to trade receivables

The following Group companies have significant trade receivables: the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group PLN 360 million, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. PLN 201 million, CENTROZŁOM WROCŁAW S.A. PLN 85 million, NITROERG S.A. PLN 31 million, WPEC w Legnicy S.A. PLN 27 million, and "MCZ" S.A. PLN 20 million.

The Parent Entity limits its exposure to credit risk related to trade receivables by evaluating and monitoring the financial condition of its customers, setting credit limits and requiring collateral, and non-recourse factoring. The terms of factoring agreements entered into meet the criteria of removing receivables from the books at the moment of their purchase by the factor. As at 31 December 2019, the amount of receivables transferred to factoring, for which the payment from factors was not received, amounted to PLN 22 million (as at 31 December 2018: PLN 21 million). Information on the amount of revenues from sales subjected to factoring in the financial period is presented in note 2.4.

An inseparable element of the credit risk management process performed by the Parent Entity is the continuous monitoring of receivables and the internal reporting system.

Buyer's credit is only provided to proven, long-term customers. In the case of new customers, an effort is made to ensure that sales are based on prepayments or trade financing instruments which wholly transfer the credit risk to financial institutions.

The Parent Entity makes use of the following forms of collateral:

  • registered pledges, bank guarantees, promissory notes, notarial enforcement declarations, corporate guarantees, cessation of receivables, mortgages and documentary collection;
  • ownership rights to goods to be transferred to the buyer only after payment is received;
  • a receivables insurance contract, which covers receivables from entities with buyer's credit which have not provided strong collateral or have provided collateral which does not cover the total amount of the receivables.

Taking into account the above forms of collateral and the credit limits received from the insurance company, as at 31 December 2019 the Parent Entity had secured 64% of its trade receivables (as at 31 December 2018, 75%).

Moreover, the Parent Entity enters into net settlement framework agreements, when it recognises both receivables and liabilities with the same client.

Although KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. does not use collateral, credit risk connected with trade receivables is subject to monitoring, and the majority of sales are to proven, long-term customers conducting international activities.

Assessment of concentration of credit risk in the Group:

Sector
concentration
While KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. operate in the same sector, these two
companies are different both in terms of their portfolios of products as well as in terms of the geographic
location and nature of their customers, and consequently this sector concentration of credit risk is
considered to be acceptable.
Other companies of the Group operate in various economic sectors, such as transport, construction,
commerce, industrial production and energy. As a consequence, in the case of most Group companies, in
terms of sectors, there is no concentration of credit risk.
Clients
concentration
As at 31 December 2019 the balance of receivables from the 7 largest clients represented 29% of trade
receivables (2018: 28%). Despite the concentration of this type of risk, it is believed that due to the
availability of historical data and the many years of experience cooperating with its clients, as well as to
the securing used, the level of credit risk is low.
Geographical
concentration
Companies of the Group have been cooperating for many years with a large number of customers, which
affects the geographical diversification of trade receivables. Geographical concentration of credit risk for
trade receivables is presented in the table below:
Trade receivables (net) As at
31 December 2019
As at
31 December 2018
Poland 40% 35%
European Union (excluding Poland) 17% 9%
Asia 4% 13%
Other countries 39% 43%

Accounting policies

The Group applies the simplified model of calculating the allowance for impairment of trade receivables (regardless of their maturity). The expected credit loss on trade receivables is calculated at the closest ending date of the reporting period after the moment of recognition of a receivable in the statement of financial position and is updated at every subsequent reporting period ending date, depending on the number of days a given receivable is overdue. For the purpose of estimating the expected credit loss on trade receivables, the Group applies a provision matrix, estimated based on historical levels of a customer's payments of receivables. The Group takes into account segmentation of counterparties due to the level of credit risk by estimating and applying different provision matrices for individual Group companies. The Group defines default as being a failure by a customer to meet its liabilities after a period of 90 days from due date. The Group takes into account forward-looking information in the applied parameters of the model for estimating expected losses, by adjusting the base coefficients of default probability.

Note 7.5.2.4 Credit risk related to loans granted to the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (POCI)

Credit risk related to loans granted depends on risk related to the realisation of the joint mining venture in Chile (Sierra Gorda S.C.M.). These loans are measured at amortised cost in subsequent reporting periods, due to the recognised impairment at the moment of initial recognition, were classified as POCI.

The basis for accruing interest on POCI loans is the gross value less any allowance for impairment at the moment of initial recognition.

The loan granted does not have collaterals limiting the exposure to credit risk, therefore the amount exposed to potential loss due to credit risk is the gross amount of the loan.

The following table presents the change in the period in the gross value of POCI loans.

Note 7.5.2.5 Credit risk related to other financial assets

As at 31 December 2019, the most significant item in other financial assets was cash accumulated on bank deposits in the special purpose funds: Mine Closure Fund and Tailings Storage Facility Restoration Fund in the amount of PLN 389 million.

All special purpose deposits of the Group, which are dedicated to collection of cash for future decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities and restoration of tailing storage facilities, are carried out by banks with the highest or medium-high ratings confirming the security of the deposited cash.

The tables below presents the level of cash concentration within special purpose funds dedicated to the collection of cash by the Group for future decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities and restoration of tailing storage facilities, according to the credit ratings of financial institutions holding special purpose deposits and according to institutions in which this cash is held.

Impairment losses on cash accumulated on bank accounts of special purpose funds: the Mine Closure Fund and Tailings Storage Facility Restoration Fund, were determined individually for each balance of a given financial institution. External bank ratings were used to measure credit risk. The analysis determined that these assets have a low credit risk at the reporting date. The Group used a simplification permitted by the standard and the impairment loss was determined on the basis of 12-month credit losses. The calculation of impairment determined that the amount of impairment loss is insignificant.

Part 8 - Borrowings and the management of liquidity and capital

Note 8.1 Capital management policy

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

In accordance with market practice, the Group monitors its capital, among others on the basis of ratios presented in the table below:

*Net debt does not include reverse factoring liabilities

** Adjusted EBITDA for the period of 12 months ended on the last day of the reporting period and does not include the EBITDA of the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. Data as at 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019 is not comparable because it does not include the results of implementation of IFRS 16 in EBITDA achieved in 2018. Details on the calculation of EBITDA were presented in Note 2.2.

*** Presented data do not include lease liabilities as at 31 December 2019 in the amount of PLN 627 million, arising from the implementation of IFRS 16.

In the management of liquidity and capital, the Group also pays attention to adjusted operating profit, which is the basis for calculating the financial covenants and which is comprised of the following items:

from 1 January 2019
to 31 December 2019
from 1 January 2018
to 31 December 2018
Profit on sales 2 455 2 591
Interest income on loans granted to joint ventures 341 257
Other operating income and (costs) 186 308
Adjusted operating profit* 2 982 3 156

* presented amount does not include the reversal of allowances for impairment of loans granted to joint ventures

As at the balance sheet date, in the financial period and after the balance sheet date, up to the date of publication of these consolidated financial statements, the values of financial covenants resulting in the obligation to report as at 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2019, met the conditions stipulated in the credit agreements.

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 equity ratio to be not less than 0.5, and the ratio of Net Debt/EBITDA not more than 2.0.

Note 8.2 Equity

Accounting policies

Share capital is recognised at nominal value.

Other reserves from the measurement of financial instruments arise from the measurement of cash flow hedging instruments (Note 7.2, accounting policies) and the measurement of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (Note 7.3, accounting policies) less any deferred tax effects.

Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of exchange differences from the translation of foreign operations statements with a functional currency other than PLN (Note 1.2) and actuarial gains/losses on post-employment benefits less any deferred tax effect (note 11, accounting policies).

Retained earnings are the sum of profit for the current financial year and accumulated profits from previous years, which have not been paid out as dividends, but were transferred to the reserve capital or were not distributed.

Note 8.2.1 Share capital

As at 31 December 2019 and at the date of signing of these financial statements, the Parent Entity's share capital, in accordance with the entry in the National Court Register, amounted to PLN 2 000 million and was divided into 200 000 000 shares, series A, fully paid, each having a face value of PLN 10. All of the shares are bearer shares. The Parent Entity has not issued preference shares. Each share grants the right to one vote at the general meeting. The Parent Entity does not have treasury shares. Subsidiaries and joint ventures do not have shares of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

In the years ended 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018 there were no changes in either registered share capital or in the number of issued shares.

In the same period, there were changes in the ownership of significant blocks of shares of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. As far as the Parent Entity is aware, as at 31 December 2018, the Parent Entity's shareholder structure was as follows:

Based on the Act of 15 September 2000, the Commercial Partnerships and Companies Code, the Parent Entity is required to create reserve capital for any potential (future) or existing losses, to which no less than 8% of a given financial year's profit is transferred until the reserve capital has been built up to no less than one-third of the registered share capital. The reserve capital created in this manner may not be employed otherwise than in covering the loss reported in the financial statements.

As at 31 December 2019 the statutory reserve capital in the Group's entities amounts to PLN 778 million, of which PLN 660 million relates to the Parent Entity, and is recognised in retained earnings.

Information related to dividends paid may be found in Note 12.2.

Note 8.3 Liquidity management policy

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

The management of financial liquidity in the Group is performed in accordance with the Financial Liquidity Management Policy in the KGHM Group. This document comprehensively describes processes of managing the financial liquidity in the Group, which are realised by Group companies, while organisation, coordination and supervision over the realisation is performed by the Parent Entity by using appropriate procedures and instruments. The basic principles resulting from this document are:

  • assuring the stable and effective financing of the Group's activities,
  • continuous monitoring of the Group's debt level,
  • effective management of working capital, and
  • coordination, by the Parent Entity, of processes of financial liquidity management in the Group companies.

Under the liquidity management process, the Group utilises instruments which enhance its effectiveness. One of the instruments used by the Group is cash pooling – local in PLN, USD and EUR and international - in USD and CAD. The cash pooling service is aimed at optimising the management of cash resources, limiting interest costs, the effective financing of current working capital needs and the support of short-term financial liquidity in the Group.

In 2019, the Group continued actions aimed at ensuring long-term financial stability by basing the financial structure on diversified and long term financing sources. The following significant events within the Parent Entity had an impact on the financial structure:

  • Conclusion of an unsecured, revolving syndicated credit facility agreement in the amount of USD 1 500 million (PLN 5 696 million) with a 5 year tenor and an option to extend it by further 2 years (5+1+1). The credit facility replaced the revolving, syndicated credit facility in the amount of USD 2 500 million (PLN 9 494 million) dated 11 July 2014;
  • Opening of a revolving credit facility of the renewable credit line in the amount of USD 450 million (PLN 1 709 million) within the agreement signed with Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego for a period of 7 years;
  • Loan instalments drawn from the EIB in the amount of USD 65 million (PLN 247 million) and in the amount of USD 90 million (PLN 342 million) with maturity falling in 2031;
  • The issue of bonds, Series A, in the amount of PLN 400 million with a 5-year maturity and Series B in the amount of PLN 1 600 million with a 10-year maturity;
  • Implementation of a Reverse Factoring Program, which is aimed at efficiently managing working capital.

The structure of financing sources is presented below.

Unsecured, revolving syndicated credit facility

A credit facility in the amount of USD 1 500 million (PLN 5 696 million), obtained on the basis of a financing agreement concluded by the Parent Entity with a syndicate of banks in 2019 with a maturity of 19 December 2024 and an option to extend it by further 2 years (5+1+1). The credit facility replaced the previous unsecured, syndicated credit facility in the amount of USD 2 500 million (PLN 9 494 million) obtained by the Parent Entity in 2014. The funds acquired through this credit facility are used to finance general corporate purposes. Interest on the credit facility is based on LIBOR plus a bank margin, depending on the net debt/EBITDA ratio.

The credit facility agreement obliges the Group to comply with the financial covenant and non-financial covenants. Financing parameters meet the standard conditions of these types of transactions. Pursuant to contractual terms and conditions, the Parent Entity is obliged to report the level of financial covenant for the reporting periods, i.e. as at 30 June and as at 31 December. The Parent Entity continuously monitors the risk of exceeding the levels of the financial covenant stipulated in the credit facility agreement. As at the reporting date, during the financial year and up to the publication of these Consolidated financial statements, the value of the financial covenant resulting in the obligation to report as at 30 June and as at 31 December, complied with the provisions of the agreement.

The carrying amount of guarantees of repayment of external financing as at 31 December 2019 amounted to PLN 1 085 million (as at 31 December 2018: PLN 944 million).

Note 8.5 Cash and cash equivalents

Accounting policies

Cash and cash equivalents include mainly cash in bank accounts and deposits with maturities of up to three months from the date of their placement (the same applies to the statement of cash flows). Cash is measured at its nominal amount plus interest, including a loss allowance for expected credit losses.

As at 31 December 2019, the Group had cash in bank deposits in the amount of PLN 85 million (as at 31 December 2018 PLN 10 million), which are funds in separate VAT accounts, designated for servicing split payments. These funds are gradually used, mainly to pay the VAT payables to suppliers and other payments mandated by law.

Note 8.6 Liabilities due to guarantees granted

Guarantees and letters of credit are an essential financial liquidity management tool of the Group.

Accounting policies

The Group issued guarantees which meet the definition of contingent liabilities pursuant to IAS 37 and recognises them in contingent liabilities and guarantees, which meet the definition of financial guarantees under IFRS 9. Therefore they are recognised pursuant to IFRS 9.

The financial guarantee agreement is an agreement obliging its Issuer to make certain payments compensating the Holder of the guarantee for the loss they will incur due to a Debtor's failure to pay on the due date, pursuant to the initial or amended terms of a debt instrument. The Group recognised financial guarantee agreements as financial instruments falling under IFRS 9.

The liability due to the financial guarantee granted as at the end of the reporting period is recognised at the higher of two amounts: the initial value of the issued guarantee less the amount recognised in profit or loss on guarantees, or the ECL amount – set pursuant to the principles of the general model.

Important estimates and assumptions

For the calculation of expected credit losses (ECL), the Group adopts estimates for the rating, PD (probability of default), LGD (loss given default). Calculation of the expected credit losses takes place in the horizon remaining to the end of the guarantee, while the rating of the entity used for the purposes of calculating the PD parameter is a rating of an entity whose credit risk effectively burdens the guarantee, and therefore the rating of the Parent Entity.

For guarantees issued by the Parent Entity, the following parameters were adopted in order to estimate ECL: the rating at the level of A3 issued on the basis of the internal methodology of the Parent Entity, based on Moody's methodology, LGD at the level of 75% (based on estimations from Moody's Annual Default Study: Corporate Default and Recovery Rates, 1920 – 2016), and the parameter of probability of default used to calculate the expected PD credit losses, in the range between 0.29% - 13.8% (depending on the maturity dates of the guarantees).

As at 31 December 2019, the Group held liabilities due to guarantees and letters of credit granted in the total amount of PLN 2 470 million and due to promissory note liabilities in the amount of PLN 144 million.

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

* In analysing the impact of IFRS 9 on the financial statements, the Group determined that, with respect to the financial guarantees granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M., it is necessary to recognise these guarantees pursuant to par. 4.2.1. point c of IFRS 9.

Based on the knowledge held, at the end of the reporting period the Group assessed the probability of payments resulting from contingent liabilities related to:

  • Sierra Gorda S.C.M. as moderately low,
  • other entities of the Group as low.

Part 9 – Non-current assets and related liabilities

Note 9.1 Mining and metallurgical property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Accounting policies – property, plant and equipment

The most important property, plant and equipment of the Group is property, plant and equipment related to the mining and metallurgical operations, comprised of land, buildings, water and civil engineering structures, such as: primary mine tunnels (including, in underground mines: shafts, wells, galleries, drifts, primary chambers), backfilling, drainage and firefighting pipelines, piezometric holes and electricity, signal and optical fiber cables. Pre-stripping costs in open pit mines and machines, technical equipment, motor vehicles and other movable fixed assets, as well as right-to-use assets recognised in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, including perpetual usufruct rights to land, are also included in mining and metallurgical property, plant and equipment.

Property, plant and equipment, excluding usufruct rights, are recognised at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

In the initial cost of items of property, plant and equipment the Group includes discounted decommissioning costs of fixed assets related to underground and surface mining and other facilities which, in accordance with binding laws, will be incurred following the conclusion of activities. Principles of recognition and measurement of decommissioning costs are presented in note 9.4.

Costs are increased by borrowing costs (i.e. interest and exchange differences representing an adjustment to interest cost) that were incurred for the purchase or construction of a qualifying item of property, plant and equipment.

Right-to-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial lease liability and all lease payments paid on the date the lease began and before that date, less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee and an estimate of costs which will be incurred by the lessee due to the disassembly or removal of a base asset or renovation of the site in which it was placed.

The perpetual usufruct right to land is measured at the amount of the liability on the perpetual usufruct right to land measured using the perpetual rent method and all lease payments paid on the date the lease began or before that date (including payments for acquisition of this right on the market).

After the initial recognition, a right-to-use asset, excluding the perpetual usufruct right to land measured using the perpetual rent method, is measured at cost decreased by accumulated depreciation/amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, adjusted by the updated measurement of lease liabilities.

Items of property, plant and equipment (excluding land and perpetual usufruct rights to land) are depreciated by the Group, pursuant to the model of consuming the economic benefits from the given item of property, plant and equipment:

  • using the straight-line method, for items which are used in production at an equal level throughout the period of their usage,
  • using the units of production method, for items in respect of which the consumption of economic benefits is directly related to the quantity of ore extracted from the deposit or quantity of units produced, and this extraction or production is not spread evenly through the period of their usage. In particular it relates to buildings and structures of the mines machines and mining equipment, except for the items of property, plant and equipment used in metallurgical plants, where their usage results from the useful economic life of the given item of property, plant and equipment.

The useful lives, and therefore the depreciation rates of fixed assets used in the production of copper, are adapted to the plans for the closure of operations, and in the case of right-to-use to the earlier of these two dates – either to the useful life end date or to the lease end date, unless the ownership of an asset is transferred to the Company before the end of the lease, in which case depreciation rates are adjusted to the estimated useful life end date.

For individual groups of fixed assets, the following useful lives have been adopted, estimated based on the anticipated useful lives of mines with respect to deposit content and metallurgical plants:

The individual significant parts of a fixed asset (significant components), whose useful lives are different from the useful life

of the given fixed asset as a whole are depreciated separately, applying a depreciation rate which reflects its anticipated useful life.

Accounting policies – intangible assets

Mining and metallurgical intangible assets are mainly comprised of exploration and evaluation assets, and water rights in Chile.

Exploration and evaluation assets

The following expenditures are classified as exploration and evaluation assets:

  • geological projects;
  • obtaining environmental decisions;
  • obtaining concessions and mining usufruct for geological exploration;
  • work related to drilling (drilling; geophysical and hydrogeological research; geological, analytical and geotechnical services; etc.);
  • the purchase of geological information;
  • the preparation of geological documentation and its approval;
  • the preparation of economic and technical assessments of resources for the purpose of making decisions regarding applying for mine operating concessions; and
  • equipment usage costs (property, plant and equipment) used in exploratory work.

Exploration and evaluation assets are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

The Group is required to test an individual entity (project) for impairment when:

  • the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources is demonstrable; and
  • the facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets may exceed their recoverable amount.

Any potential impairment losses are recognised prior to reclassification resulting from the demonstration of the technical and economic feasibility of extracting the mineral resources.

Significant estimates and assumptions

Significant estimates and assumptions relating to impairment of mining and metallurgical property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are presented in Note 3.

The net value of mining and metallurgical property, plant and equipment which is subject to depreciation using the natural method as at 31 December 2019 amounted to PLN 1 188 million (as at 31 December 2018, PLN 859 million).

provisions for mine decommissioning.
At the end of the reporting period, applying the current approach, with the historically
low level of profitability of 10 year bonds and an increase in inflation as well as the
NBP's inflation forecasts, the Group would receive a negative effective discount rate.
Due to the uncommon situation, the Group applied a cautious approach and adopted
for the measurement of provisions a discount rate of "0" as at 31 December 2019. This
is the effective discount rate (that is, decreased by inflation). Due to the non-standard
nature of current market conditions, the Group is monitoring the situation and
analysing the eventual verification of its current approach.
A change in the discount rate or in the
estimated decommissioning cost
adjusts the value of the relevant item
of a fixed asset, unless it exceeds the

Note 10.1 Inventories

Accounting policies Significant estimates and assumptions
The Group measures inventories at
cost, not higher than the sales price
less costs of completing production
and costs to sell.
Inventory disposals are measured at
weighted average cost.
In the consolidated financial statements the amount of those inventories of
the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group which arise from the leaching
process, is determined based on the estimated recovery of metal from ore.
The nature of the process of leaching copper from ore limits the precision of
monitoring the level of inventories arising during this process. In subsequent
reporting periods, adjustments are made to the estimated recovery of copper
from the leaching of ore in a given reporting period to the level of production
achieved in the subsequent period.
As at 31 December 2019 the provisionally-set value of inventories amounted
to PLN 74 million (as at 31 December 2018, PLN 55 million).

Note 10.2 Trade receivables

Accounting policies

Trade receivables are initially recognised at the transaction price. After initial recognition, receivables are measured:

  • receivables not transferred to full factoring: at amortised cost while taking into account the loss allowance for expected credit losses (trade receivables with maturity dates of less than 12 months are not discounted),
  • receivables transferred to full factoring: at fair value through profit or loss, while because of the short duration between the recognition of receivables and transferral to the factor and due to the low credit risk of the counterparty (factor), the fair value of these receivables include an adjustment of transaction costs representing the factor's compensation and therefore corresponds to the net amount received from the factor (receivables transferred to the factor (nominal value from the invoice) decreased by interest). Receivables transferred to full factoring are obligatorily designated to the category of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, because they were classified to a business model, in which cash flows are realised solely by selling financial assets.
  • receivables based on the M+ pricing formula: at fair value through profit or loss, value is set as the nominal value (i.e. at the price in the invoice), adjusted by the impact of market and credit risks. Adjustment due to the market risk is calculated as the difference between the current market price for a given pricing period in the future (the period in which there will be a final determination of the settlement price) and the receivables' price recognised in the accounting books (multiplied by the sales volume). Adjustment due to the credit risk is calculated analogously to the calculation of expected credit losses for trade receivables measured at amortised cost. Receivables based on the M+ pricing formula are obligatorily designated to the category of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, because these receivables do not pass the SPPI (solely payments of principal and interest) test because of the element of variable price after the date of initial recognition of the receivables.

The Group is exposed to the credit risk and currency risk arising from trade receivables. Credit risk management and assessment of the credit quality of receivables is presented in Note 7.5.2.3. Information on currency risk is presented in Note 7.5.1.3.

Note 10.3 Trade and similar payables

Accounting policies

Trade and similar payables are initially recognised at fair value less transaction cost and are measured at amortised cost at the end of the reporting period.

Accrued interest due to repayment of payables at a later date is recognised in profit or loss, in the item "finance income/(costs)".

Important estimates and assumptions

Trade and similar payables presented in the Parent Entity's statement of financial position also contain trade payables transferred to reverse factoring, which are in the category of "similar". The item "similar liabilities" also includes intragroup trade payables transferred by the debtor to the factor, for which the debtor received payment from the factor. At the moment of transfer of the liabilities to reverse factoring, the Parent Entity recognises payables towards the factor, who due to the subrogation of receivables, from the legal point of view, assumes the rights and obligations common for trade payables. Reverse factoring is not directly regulated by IFRS, and as a result of its ambiguous nature it was necessary for the Parent Entity to make an important judgment on the presentation of balances transferred to factoring in the statement of financial position and the presentation of transactions in the statement of cash flows. In the Parent Entity's opinion, in presenting the balance of trade payables transferred to reverse factoring as "Trade and similar payables" (assigned to the category of "similar") together with other trade payables and not as debt liabilities, the following aspects had a crucial impact:

  • from the legal point of view, at the moment of subrogation of the reverse factoring there is a transfer of rights and obligations arising from the liabilities, rather than their expiry and the establishment of new rights and obligations in respect of the factor;

  • there is no establishment of new guarantees related to the reverse factoring, nor are there any changes in commercial terms related to any breach of the contract terms and annulment of a contract;

  • the goal of the program is not only to improve the Parent Entity's liquidity, but also to provide support to suppliers engaged in obtaining favourable financing in order to build long term business relationships,

  • the established payment deadlines, as well as payment models (including as regards interest and discounting) do not change in respect of trade payables towards a given supplier which are not subject to reverse factoring. In light of the above, as well as taking into account the established interest rates and discounts and extended repayment periods, cash flows related to the liabilities transferred to reverse factoring do not change more than 10%;

  • costs related to reverse factoring are incurred both by the Parent Entity and its suppliers. The Parent Entity incurs interest cost arising from the payment of liabilities over an extended period, while the supplier incurs a discounted cost due to early (that is, before the end of the base term, which is usually 60 days) payment received from the factor;

  • the Parent Entity, together with individual suppliers, on the basis of signed contracts, will determine which invoices will be transferred to reverse factoring, and what the deadline for early payment to the supplier through the factor will be.

Moreover, although the Parent Entity identified characteristics which indicate the nature of reverse factoring as liabilities due to financing (liability due to credit granted by the factor), they were judged by the Parent Entity to be insufficient for the purpose of recognising that, at the moment of transfer of trade payables to reverse factoring, there is a complete change in the nature of the relationship from that of a trade to a debt one, which would necessitate presentation in the Statement of financial position as debt financial liabilities and presentation in the Statement of cash flows, in financial activities:

  • the factor is a bank, and at the moment of subrogation by the factor there is a change in the party being the debtor,
  • in order to obtain more favourable terms, the factoring agreement was negotiated with the factor by the Parent Entity and not directly by the suppliers,
  • the actual deadline for the payment of trade payables subject to reverse factoring is longer (and amounts to up to 180 days) than the deadline for the payment of other trade payables, which are not transferred to factoring (which usually amounts to 60 days),
  • the main costs of reverse factoring are incurred by the Company, and suppliers are charged only if they receive payment in the first 60 days from the date the invoice was issued (discount for the payment before 60 days)

The Parent Entity implemented reverse factoring in the period ended on 31 December 2019 in order to make it possible for suppliers to receive repayment of receivables faster, as part of the standard procurement process executed by the Parent Entity, alongside an extension of payment dates of payables by the Group to the factor. The factor's participation limit was set at PLN 750 million. In the present financial year, from the date of implementation of reverse factoring to the end of the reporting period, liabilities in the amount of PLN 596 million were transferred to the factor and this is the value of trade payables covered by reverse factoring as at 31 December 2019; in the financial year there were no payments towards the factor. Interest costs incurred towards the factor amounted to PLN 1 million in 2019 and were recognised in the item "finance costs".

Repayment dates of receivables due to reverse factoring do not exceed 12 months, and consequently all payables transferred to reverse factoring are presented as short-term.

The item trade payables contains payables due to the purchase and construction of fixed and intangible assets which, as at 31 December 2019, amounted to PLN 164 million in the non-current part and PLN 648 million in the current part (as at 31 December 2018, respectively PLN 163 million and PLN 565 million).

The Group is exposed to currency risk arising from trade payables and to liquidity risk. Information on currency risk is presented in Note 7.5.1.3 and on liquidity risk in Note 8.3.1.

The fair value of trade payables approximates their carrying amount.

Note 10.4 Changes in working capital

Accounting policies

Cash flows arising from interest on reverse factoring transactions are presented in cash flows from financing activities. The actually repaid principal amounts of receivables transferred to reverse factoring to a factor are presented in cash flows from operating activities. Moreover, the Parent Entity, as regards changes in working capital in the Statement of cash flows, presented a separate line "Change in trade payables transferred to factoring" for the purposes of clear and transparent presentation.

Important estimates and assumptions

The Parent Entity implemented reverse factoring in the period ended on 31 December 2019 ( more information may be found in Note 10.3).

Since market practice with respect to the presentation of reverse factoring transactions in the Statement of cash flows is not uniform, the Management Board had to apply its own judgment in this regard. In the case of these transactions, the Parent Entity had to make a judgment whether expenses related to payments towards the factor should be classified to cash flows from operating activities or to cash flows from financing activities in the statement of cash flows. Pursuant to IAS 7.11, an entity should present cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in a manner which is most appropriate to its business, because it provides information that allows users of financial statements to assess the impact of those activities on the financial position of the entity and the amount of its cash and cash equivalents. Due to the above, in the Parent Entity's view:

  • presentation of the repayment of the principal amounts of receivables in the reverse factoring in cash flows from operating activities is compliant with the objective of individual transaction elements (more information may be found in Note 10.3). When legal subrogation of receivables is made by the factor, from a legal standpoint he assumes the rights and responsibilities characteristic for trade receivables.
  • however, the financial aspect related to the factoring transaction is indicated in presentation of interest in financing activities. This is consistent with recognising this interest in financing costs in the Statement of profit or loss and the accounting policy adopted by the Parent Entity for the presentation of interest cost of reverse factoring in the financial activities.

Part 11 – Employee benefits

Accounting policies

The Group is obliged to pay specified benefits following the period of employment (retirement benefits due to one-off retirement-disability rights, post-mortem benefits and the coal equivalent) and other long-term benefits (jubilee bonuses), in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement.

The amount of the liabilities due to both of these benefits is estimated at the end of the reporting period by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of liabilities from these benefits is determined by discounting estimated future cash outflow using the interest rates on treasury bonds expressed in the currency of the future benefits payments, with maturities similar to the date of settlement for liabilities.

Actuarial gains and losses from the measurement of specified benefits following the period of employment are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arose. Actuarial gains/losses from the measurement of other benefits (benefits due to jubilee bonuses) are recognised in profit or loss.

Significant estimates and assumptions

The carrying amount of the liability due to future employee benefits is equal to the present value of the liabilities due to defined benefits. The amount of the liability depends on many factors, which are used as assumptions in the actuarial method. Any changes to the assumptions may impact the carrying amount of the liability. Interest rates are one of the basic parameters for measuring the liability. At the end of the reporting period, based on the opinion of an independent actuary, an appropriate discount rate for the Group's companies is used for setting the present value of estimated future cash outflow due to these benefits. In setting the discount rate for the reporting period, the actuary extrapolates current interest rates of government bonds along the profitability curve expressed in the currency of the future benefits payments, to obtain a discount rate enabling the discounting of payments with maturities which are longer than the maturities of the bonds.

Other macroeconomic assumptions used to measure liabilities due to future employee benefits, such as the inflation rate or the minimum salary, are based on current market conditions. The assumptions used for measurement as at 31 December 2019 are presented in Note 11.2.

The sensitivity of future employee benefits liabilities to changes in the assumptions was set based on the amounts of the Parent Entity's liabilities (the Parent Entity's liabilities represent 90% of the Group's liabilities; 92% in 2018). In the remaining Group companies, due to the immaterial amounts of liabilities in this regard, the impact of changes of the basic parameters adopted for the calculation of provisions on future employee benefits liabilities in the consolidated financial statements would be immaterial.

The change in actuarial gains/losses was caused by a change in the assumptions in respect of the decrease of the discount rate, the increase in coal prices and the increase in the lowest salary.

For purposes of reassessment of the liabilities at the end of the current period, the parameters assumed were based on available forecasts of inflation, analysis of coal prices rates and of the lowest salary rates, and also based on the anticipated profitability of long-term treasury bonds.

Note 12.7 The right of perpetual usufruct of land

The Parent Entity and the Group's Polish subsidiaries obtained the right of perpetual usufruct of land mostly free of charge on the basis of laws in force. The land subject to perpetual usufruct is industrial area related to the core business activities, which also includes protective zones in which environmental quality standards have been exceeded as a result of the activities carried out.

Due to the nature of the use of the above-mentioned land, as at 31 December 2018 the Group had not determined fair values for these perpetual usufruct rights.

The table below contains information on future payments due to the right of perpetual usufruct of land as at 31 December 2018. The Group's liabilities due to the right of perpetual usufruct of land for 2018, which were not recognised in the statement of financial position, were estimated on the basis of annual payment rates resulting from recent administrative decisions and the useful life of the land subject to this right.

Note 12.13 Subsequent events after the reporting period

Information on the impact of the spread of the (coronavirus) COVID–19 on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group after the end of the reporting period

Due to the emergence at the end of 2019 in China, and the subsequent global spread of the coronavirus COVID-19, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is continuously monitoring the global economic situation and the potential negative impact on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group.

Concerns related to the further spread of the virus resulted in the first quarter of 2020, among others, in the fall of copper prices and the volatility of exchange rates, as well as the fall of prices of listed shares, including those of the Parent Entity. The closing price from the last day of trading in 2019 amounted to 95.58 PLN/share, while on 13 March 2020 the share price amounted to 52.48 PLN/share, which is a decrease of 45.1%. According to the last official trading day in 2019, the cash settlement price of copper amounted to PLN 6 156 USD/t, while on 13 March 2020 the cash settlement price of copper amounted to 5 460 USD/t, which is a decrease of 11.3%. The impact of the epidemic will be taken into account in 2020 when evaluating the risk of impairment of assets.

The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group is undertaking on-going actions to limit its exposure to risk, especially with respect to employee safety and maintaining the supply chain, and systematically manages the risk of the negative impact of decreases in market copper prices.

Currently, the risk of disruptions due to the coronavirus is judged to be low. Nevertheless, if the epidemic continues to impact the global economy, the situation may result in future negative financial and organisational consequences for the Group.

Annex to agreement on reverse factoring services

On 9 March 2020 the Parent Entity signed an annex to the agreement on reverse factoring services dated 19 September 2019 entered into with Pekao Faktoring Sp. z o.o., increasing the factoring limit by PLN 250 million, i.e. to the amount of PLN 1 billion. The remaining terms of the agreement were unchanged.
