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 It superseded the IAS 17 standard, interpretations IFRIC 4 and SIC 15 and 27.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, which is 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). The project which was undertaken during the implementation indicated that the new definition of a lease per IFRS 16 will not significantly change the scope of agreements meeting the definition of a lease.

Individual adjustments arising from the application of IFRS 16 were described below.

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 it does not recognise financial liabilities nor any respective right-to-use assets. These types of lease payments are recognised as costs using the straightline 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 the first time application of IFRS 16, 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 which were previously classified as finance leases, the carrying amounts of the right-touse assets and lease liabilities as at 1 January 2019 are equal to the amounts measured in accordance with 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 companies of the Group 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:

receives and analyses reports of the whole KGHM INTERNATIONAL
LTD. Group. Operating segments are engaged in the exploration
and mining of copper, molybdenum, silver, gold and nickel
deposits. The operating segments were aggregated based on the
similarity of long term margins achieved by individual segments,
and the similarity of products, processes and production methods.
Sierra Gorda S.C.M. Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (joint venture) Not applicable (it is a single operating and reporting segment)
Other segments This item includes other Group
companies (every individual
company is a separate operating
segment).
Aggregation was carried out as a result of not meeting the criteria
necessitating the identification of a separate additional reporting
segment.

The following companies were not included in any of the aforementioned segments:

  • Future 1 Sp. z o.o., which acts as a holding company with respect to the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group,
  • Future 2 Sp. z o.o., Future 3 Sp. z o.o., Future 4 Sp. z o.o., Future 5 Sp. z o.o., Future 6 Sp. z o.o. and Future 7 Sp. z o.o., which operate in the structure related to the establishment of a Tax Group.

These companies do not conduct operating activities which could impact the results achieved by individual segments, and as a result their inclusion could distort the data presented in this part of the consolidated financial statements due to significant settlements with other Group entities.

Each of the segments KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. and Sierra Gorda S.C.M. have their own Management Boards, which report the results of their business activities to the President of the Management Board of the Parent Entity.

The segment KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is composed only of the Parent Entity, and the segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is composed only of the joint venture Sierra Gorda. Other companies of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group are presented below by segment: KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. and Other segments.

The Parent Entity and the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group (a subgroup) have a fundamental impact on the structure of assets and the generation of revenues in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. The activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. are concentrated on the mining industry in Poland, while those of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group are concentrated on the mining industry in the countries of North and South America. The profile of activities of the majority of the remaining subsidiaries of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group differs from the main profile of the Parent Entity's activities.

The Parent Entity's Management Board monitors the operating results of individual segments in order to make decisions on allocating the Group's resources and assess the financial results achieved.

Financial data prepared for management reporting purposes is based on the same accounting policies as those applied when preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group, while the financial data of individual reporting segments constitutes the amounts presented in appropriate financial statements prior to consolidation adjustments at the level of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, i.e.:

  • The segment KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. comprises data from the separate financial statements of the Parent Entity prepared in accordance with IFRSs. In the separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries (including investment in KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.) are measured at cost.
  • 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. Adjusted EBITDA – as a financial indicator not defined by IFRSs – is not a standardised measure and therefore its method of calculation may vary between entities, and consequently the presentation and calculation of adjusted EBITDA applied by the Group may not be comparable to that applied by other market entities.

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.

As compared to the Company's Budget for the 9 months of 2019, ore extraction was lower by 1% alongside a significantly better (by 2.72%) quality of extracted ore (planned copper content of 1.47%). As a result of the aforementioned factors, production of copper in concentrate was higher by 5.1 thousand tonnes. Moreover, there was an increase in production of electrolytic copper, by 18.8 thousand tonnes, and of metallic silver, by 57.4 tonnes.

In the period of 9 months of 2019, there was a decrease in ore extraction (dry weight) as compared to the corresponding period of 2018. Copper content in ore increased by 0.3%. In 2019, there was an intensification of gas-geodynamic and climate hazards, which may result in slower mining operations.

Production of copper in concentrate decreased by approximately 1.1 thousand tonnes as compared to the 9 months of 2018 as a result of processing a lower amount of feed.

As compared to the corresponding period of 2018, there was a significant, 17% increase in production of electrolytic copper and of metallic silver by 22%. This increase was a result of optimising the feeding batch processed by the metallurgical line, higher availability of elements of the production line and the start-up of the copper concentrate roasting installations.

3) Cash cost of concentrate production reflecting the minerals extraction tax, plus administrative expenses and smelter treatment and refining charges (TC/RC), less depreciation/amortisation cost and the value of by-product premiums, calculated for payable copper in concentrate.

The Parent Entity's cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses in the first 9 months of 2019 amounted to PLN 11 075 million and was higher by PLN 1 526 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2018, mainly due to higher costs of purchased metal-bearing materials and a lower increase in inventories, which led to higher sales of copper and silver.

In the first 9 months of 2019, expenses by nature were higher by PLN 1 025 million as compared to the corresponding period of 2018, mainly due to a higher cost of consumption of purchased metal-bearing materials by PLN 710 million (due to higher consumption by 30 thousand tonnes of copper alongside a comparable purchase price).

Expenses by nature, excluding the minerals extraction tax and consumption of purchased metal-bearing materials, increased by PLN 420 million, or by 6%, mainly comprised of:

  • labour costs (+PLN 139 million) due to an increase in remuneration,
  • consumption of materials, fuels and energy (+PLN 105 million) due to higher consumption of energy and technological materials,
  • external services (+PLN 87 million) due to an increase in transport services and the mine preparatory work, and
  • depreciation/amortisation (+PLN 95 million) due to the reclassification of investments to fixed assets.

C1 cost respectively amounted to 1.71 USD/lb in the first 9 months of 2019, and 1.87 USD/lb in the first 9 months of 2018. The decrease in C1 cost (by 0.16 USD/lb) was mainly caused by the weakening of the Polish currency versus the US dollar by 7.6%.

The pre-precious metals credit unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate (unit cost prior to decrease by the value of anode slimes containing, among others, silver and gold) amounted to 24 895 PLN/t (in the comparable period of 2018: 23 428 PLN/t) and was higher by 6.3%, mainly due to the above-mentioned higher expenses by nature. The total unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate amounted to 18 159 PLN/t (for the first 9 months of 2018: 17 379 PLN/t).

Investment activities are aimed at carrying out projects which are classified under one of the following three categories:

  • Development projects, aimed at increasing the production volume of the core business, maintaining production costs and adaptation projects aimed at adapting the company's operations to changes in standards, laws and regulations (including those related to environmental protection), represent 36% of total expenditures,
  • Replacement projects, aimed at maintaining production equipment in an undeteriorated condition which guarantees the achievement of on-going production tasks, represent 30% of total expenditures,
  • Maintenance projects, ensuring necessary infrastructure to match mine advancement and the continuous removal of waste to ensure production at the level set forth in the mine advancement plan, represent 31% of total expenditures.

During the reporting period, most of the investment expenditures were incurred on securing long-term production levels, among others on construction of shafts and associated infrastructure, enabling mining from new mining regions, exploration in concession areas and on adapting technological installations in smelter/refineries to BAT recommendations. Other expenditures concerned replacement of assets guaranteeing the realisation of current production tasks, among others on the purchase of mining machinery, mine infrastructure development and core production infrastructure as well as construction work related to the development of the tailing storage facility's Southern Quarter.

Copper production in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first 9 months of 2019 amounted to 57.5 thousand tonnes, and therefore decreased by 3.3 thousand tonnes (-5%) as compared to the corresponding period of 2018.

Production of copper by the Robinson mine decreased in the first three quarters of 2019 by 2 thousand tonnes (-5%) as compared to the first three quarters of 2018. This was a result of extracting ore with lower copper content (-9%), which was partially offset by higher recovery of this metal. However, the extracted ore had a higher gold content, which resulted in an increase in TPM production by 7.9 thousand troy ounces (+27%).

Copper production in the Sudbury Basin mines decreased by 2.1 thousand tonnes as a result of a lower content of this metal in extracted ore, which was partially offset by the increase in extraction volume. Moreover, the increase in volume of extraction resulted in an increase in the production of precious metals by 3.8 thousand troy ounces (+17%).

1) reflects processing premium

The sales revenue of the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first three quarters of 2019 amounted to USD 601 million. The increase by USD 28 million (+5%), as compared to the corresponding period of 2018 arises from the increase in sales revenue of companies operating under the DMC Mining Services ("DMC") brand , as well as an increase in revenues from sales of precious metals.

Revenues from copper sales decreased by USD 50 million (-15%) as a result of a decrease in the sales volume of this metal (-6%) and a decrease in effective sales price (from the level of 6 548 USD/t in the first quarters of 2018 to 5 982 USD/t in the first quarters of 2019).

The increase in the sales volume of precious metals by 5.8 thousand troy ounces (+12%) and higher realised sale prices resulted in an increase in revenues from TPM sales by USD 19 million (+32%).

DMC's revenues increased by USD 54 million, mainly due to a contract being advanced in the United Kingdom.

The average weighted unit cash cost of copper production for all operations in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first three quarters of 2019 amounted to 1.79 USD/lb, and therefore decreased by 4% as compared to the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease in C1 is a result of higher revenues from sales of associated metals (+37%), which decrease this cost.

Cash expenditures of the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first three quarters of 2019 amounted to USD 124 million, and therefore remained at a level similar to the one in the corresponding period of 2018.

Over 80% of cash expenditures were related to the Robinson mine, above all on work related to pre-stripping in the Ruth pit.

Expenditures on the Victoria project amounted to USD 3 million and concerned, among others, exploration work and work related to securing existing infrastructure and project terrain. USD 1 million was incurred on the Sierra Gorda Oxide project (i.e. ore leaching tests were continued).

In the first 9 months of 2019, financial support to the Sierra Gorda mine (in the form of an increase in the share capital) amounted to USD 44 million and was mainly used to repay the mine's financial liabilities.

3.8.3 The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is a joint venture (under the JV company Sierra Gorda S.C.M.) of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. (55%) and Sumitomo Metal Mining (31.5%) and Sumitomo Corporation (13.5%).

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

Production results

In the third quarter of 2019, Sierra Gorda S.C.M. achieved a higher level of copper production than that realised in the previous two quarters of 2019.

1 Payable metal in concentrate.

In the entire nine month period, copper production increased by 11.3 thousand tonnes (+16%) as compared to the volume realised in the corresponding period of 2018. The main reason for the increase in production was the higher extraction and processing of ore and higher copper recovery during processing. Moreover, extraction took place in mining areas with higher ore quality, which was reflected in the higher copper content in processed ore. Higher ore processing and gold content were also responsible for the increase in gold production (+44%).

As for molybdenum, there was a decrease in production by 23% due to the lower content of this metal in processed ore.

Revenues

In the first three quarters of 2019, revenues from sales amounted to USD 720 million (on a 100% basis), or PLN 1 522 million respectively to KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.'s interest (55%).

Revenues for the period of nine months of 2019 were slightly above the level realised in the corresponding period of 2018, while the increase in revenues from sales of copper and gold offset the impact of lower production and sales of molybdenum.

The individual factors impacting the increase in revenues are presented in the subsection on the financial performance of Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

Costs

The cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses incurred by the company Sierra Gorda S.C.M. amounted to USD 653 million, including selling costs of USD 46 million and administrative expenses of USD 29 million. The costs of the segment Sierra Gorda, proportionally to the interest held (55%) amounted to PLN 1 381 million.

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

The cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses was 2% lower than the one recorded in the first nine months of 2018, but due to the weakening of the PLN, the PLN-expressed cost was higher by 5%.

It should be stressed that the decrease in costs (in USD) took place while extraction and processing of ore were increased. Most of all, an improvement was recorded in the following expenses by nature (prior to the change in inventories and to the deduction of pre-stripping costs, which are capitalised):

  • depreciation/amortisation a decrease by 10% mainly due to changes in the mining plan of individual mining areas, affecting the level of depreciation/amortisation of capitalised costs of pre-stripping,
  • fuels and oil a decrease by 15% due to the lower price of diesel oil and lower consumption,
  • molybdenum processing costs by an external counterparty lower by 37% due to lower molybdenum production, and
  • transport and shipping a decrease by 6%, mainly due to lower molybdenum sales and lower port charges, alongside a negative impact of higher costs of domestic sales (an increase in copper sales volume) and higher costs of sea shipping,

The cost increases concerned the following main cost items:

  • labour an increase by 6%, mainly due to the conclusion of agreements with the trade unions in the first half of 2019, and
  • spare parts an increase by 20%, mainly due to a higher degree of replacement of certain components of drilling equipment, mills and mining machinery.

The unit cash cost of copper production (C1) amounted to 1.39 USD/lb in the period from January to September 2019 and was higher by 15% as compared to the corresponding period of 2018, despite the increase in the amount of copper sold. The increase was mainly due to a decrease in revenues from the sale of molybdenum, and the sold volume was lower than in 2018.

Financial performance

In the three quarters of 2019, EBITDA amounted to USD 247 million, of which proportionally to the interest held (55%) PLN 522 million relates to the KGHM Group.

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 based on the adjusted net assets method. Observable Input data other than ones from the active market were used in the measurement (e.g. transaction prices of real estate similar to that 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).

Loans granted

Loans granted are measured using the discounted cash flows model, taking into account the borrower's credit risk.

Trade receivables

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

For trade receivables subjected to factoring, due to the short term between the transfer of receivables to the factor and their payment as well as the low credit risk of the factor, the fair value of these receivables is similar to the nominal value of receivables.

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 derivatives

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

Metals derivatives

In the case of forward commodity purchase or sell transactions, 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 as well as volatility ratios at the end of the reporting period are from Reuters. With respect to silver and gold the fixing price set by the London Bullion Market Association at the end of the reporting period is used. Volatility ratios and forward prices for precious metals were also taken from the Reuters system. Forward and swap contracts on the copper, silver and gold markets were valued using the forward market curve appropriate for a given commodity. Levy approximation to the Black-Scholes model is 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 4.7 Commodity, currency and interest rate risk management

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

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

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

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

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

In the first 3 quarters of 2019, copper sales of the Parent Entity amounted to 415 thousand tonnes (net sales of 291 thousand tonnes)1 . However, the notional amount of copper price hedging strategies settled in this period amounted to 85.5 thousand tonnes, which represented approx. 21% of the total sales of this metal realised by the Parent Entity and approx. 29% of net sales in this period (in the first 3 quarters of 2018, 19% and 25% respectively). In the case of currency hedging transactions, the settled notional amount represented approx. 20% of total revenues from copper and silver sales realised by the Parent Entity in the first 3 quarters of 2019 (31% - in the first 3 quarters of 2018).

In the third quarter of 2019 the Parent Entity did not implement any new hedging transactions on the copper market. On the other hand, silver price hedging strategies were implemented. With respect to the strategic management of market risk, put options (Asian options) were purchased with a total notional amount of 3.6 million troy ounces and a maturity period from January 2020 to December 2020. In addition in the third quarter of 2019 QP adjustment swap transactions were entered into on the copper and gold markets with maturities of up to January 2020, as part of the management of a net trading position.

As a result, as at 30 September 2019 the Parent Entity held an open derivatives position for 121.5 thousand tonnes of copper (of which: 106.5 thousand tonnes came from strategic management of market risk, while 15 thousand tonnes came from the management of a net trading position) and 3.6 million troy ounces of silver.

In the third quarter of 2019 the Parent Entity implemented transactions hedging against a change in the USD/PLN exchange rate with a total notional amount of USD 480 million. Put options were purchased with a horizon falling in the first half of 2020 and collar structures (European options) were entered into with a horizon falling from July 2020 to December 2021. As a result, as at 30 September 2019, the Parent Entity held a hedging position for planned revenues from sales of metals in the amount of USD 2 190 million.

With respect to managing currency risk, the Parent Entity uses natural hedging by borrowing in currencies in which it has revenues. As at 30 September 2019, the bank and investment loans which were drawn in USD, following their translation to PLN, amounted to PLN 6 294 million (as at 31 December 2018: PLN 7 655 million).

In the third quarter of 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 . Moreover, as at 30 September 2019, the Parent Entity held open derivatives CAP transactions on the interest rate market for 2020 and bank and other loans with fixed interest rates.

In the third quarter of 2019, neither KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. nor any of the mining companies implemented any forward transactions on the commodity and currency markets. As at 30 September 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.

Some of the Group's Polish companies managed the currency risk related to their core business by opening transactions in derivatives on the currency market. The table of open transactions of the Polish companies as at 30 September 2019 is not presented, due to its immateriality for the Group.

Condensed tables of open transactions in derivatives held by the Parent Entity as at 30 September 2019, entered into as part of the strategic management of market risk, are presented below. The hedged notional amounts of transactions on the copper, silver and currency markets in the presented periods are allocated evenly on a monthly basis.

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

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

Rating level As at
30 September 2019
As at
31 December 2018
Highest from AAA to AA- according to S&P and Fitch,
and from Aaa to Aa3 according to Moody's 1% -
Medium-high from A+ to A- according to S&P and Fitch,
and from A1 to A3 according to Moody's 98% 99%
Medium from BBB+ to BBB- according to S&P and Fitch,
and from Baa1 to Baa3 according to Moody's 1% 1%

* Weighed by positive fair value of open and unsettled derivatives.

Taking into consideration the fair value of open derivative transactions entered into by the Group and of unsettled derivatives, as at 30 September 2019 the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 22%, or PLN 103 million (as at 31 December 2018: 22%, or 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 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 solely with renowned financial institutions, as well as continuous monitoring of their ratings, it is not materially exposed to credit risk as a result of transactions concluded with them.

Note 4.8 Liquidity risk and capital management

Liquidity and capital management policy

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

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

Under the process of liquidity management, the Group utilises instruments which enhance its effectiveness. One of the instruments used by the Group is the cash pooling service, managed both locally in PLN, USD and EUR and internationally in USD.

In furtherance of actions aimed at optimising the process of managing financial liquidity, in the third quarter of 2019 the Group commenced implementation of a Reverse Factoring Program. A positive effect of implementing this Program is extending the turnover of liabilities.

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

Ratio Calculation 30 September 2019 30 September 2019 31 December 2018

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

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

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

In a judgment dated 25 September 2018, the court dismissed the counter claim and partially upheld the principal claim to the total amount of approx. PLN 24 million, and at the same time ordered the payment of interest in the amount of approx. PLN 30 million, totalling to PLN 54 million. Both parties to the proceedings appealed against this judgment.

In a judgment dated 12 June 2019, the Court of Appeal in Wrocław (Signature I ACa 205/19) dismissed both of the appeals, altering the judgment of the court of first instance solely in the matter of the resolution of court costs from the hearings at the court of first instance and charging them to KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. The Court of Appeal ordered each of the parties to bear the costs of the appeal proceedings. The binding judgment was executed by KGHM on 18-19 June 2019. On 26 September 2019 KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. filed a cassation appeal against the judgment.

Information on single or multiple transactions entered into with related entities by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. or a subsidiary thereof, if they were entered into under other than arm's length conditions

During the period from 1 January 2019 to 30 September 2019, neither KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. nor subsidiaries thereof entered into transactions with related entities under other than arm's length conditions.

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

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

1 – General information

Note 1.1 Impact of the application of new and amended standards 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 Company 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, which is 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 Company 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 Company uses 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company'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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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: 2.10%.

The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 application of IFRS 16 for the first time, the Company 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 Company 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 1 084 million, of which the amount of PLN 1 082 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 Company 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 511 million and a corresponding lease liability in the same amount.

Off-balance sheet lease liabilities in the amount of PLN 1 082 million were written-off.

In the case of agreements in which the Company is a lessor, 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:

Impact on the statement of comprehensive income:
- decrease in taxes, charges and services (43)
- increase in interest costs 20
- increase in depreciation/amortisation 26
Impact on the statement of cash flows:
- increase in net cash flows from operating activities 48
- decrease in net cash flows from financing activities (48)

The costs of short-term lease agreements and of low-value assets lease agreements in the first three quarters of 2019 are immaterial.

Agreements in the first three quarters of 2019 were estimated according to the following discount rates:

  • for PLN-denominated agreements: from 4.25% to 5.86%,
  • for EUR-denominated agreements: 2.10%.

Impact on financial ratios

Given the fact that the Company recognises nearly all of its lease agreements in its statement of financial position, the implementation of IFRS 16 by the Company 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 Company has analysed the impact of all of these changes in terms of compliance with covenants contained in credit agreements to which the Company is a party, and did not identify any risk of breaches in these covenants.
