Orange Polska S.A. ("Orange Polska" or "the Company" or "OPL S.A."), a joint stock company, was incorporated and commenced its operations on 4 December 1991. The Orange Polska Group ("the Group") comprises Orange Polska and its subsidiaries. The Group is a part of Orange Group based in France. Orange Polska shares are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
The Group is the principal provider of telecommunications services in Poland. The Group provides mobile and fixed telecommunications services, including calls, messaging, content, access to the Internet and TV. In addition, the Group provides ICT (Information and Communications Technology) services, leased lines and other telecommunications value added services, sells telecommunications equipment, provides data transmission, constructs telecommunications infrastructure and sells electrical energy.
Orange Polska's registered office is located in Warsaw at 160 Aleje Jerozolimskie St.
The list of entities included in the Condensed IFRS Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group (the "Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements") as at and for the 9 months ended 30 September 2019 is presented in Note 1.2 to the Orange Polska Group IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements ("IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements") for the year ended 31 December 2018. Additionally, in June 2019, the Group purchased 100% of the shares in BlueSoft Sp. z o.o. ("BlueSoft") and Essembli Sp. z o.o. ("Essembli") – a subsidiary of BlueSoft (see Note 8).
The Group reports a single operating segment as decisions about resources to be allocated and assessment of performance are made on a consolidated basis. Starting from 2019, following the adoption of IFRS 16 "Leases" (see Note 3.2), the Group redefined the performance measures used. Group performance is currently evaluated by the Management Board based on consolidated revenue, consolidated EBITDAaL, consolidated net income, consolidated organic cash flows, consolidated capital expenditures, consolidated net financial debt and consolidated net financial debt to EBITDAaL ratio based on cumulative EBITDAaL for the last four quarters. Comparative amounts were adjusted accordingly.
Since the calculation of EBITDAaL, organic cash flows, capital expenditures and net financial debt is not defined by IFRS, these performance measures may not be comparable to similar indicators used by other entities. The methodology adopted by the Group is presented below.
Starting from 2019, EBITDAaL is the key measure of operating profitability used by the Management Board. The Group decided to replace EBITDA with EBITDAaL (EBITDA after leases) as EBITDA is no longer a relevant measure of operating profitability after the adoption of IFRS 16 because it excludes expenses related to leases. EBITDAaL corresponds to operating income before depreciation, amortisation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, decreased by interest expense on lease liabilities and adjusted for the impact of deconsolidation of subsidiaries, costs related to acquisition and integration of new businesses, employment termination programs, restructuring costs, significant claims, litigation and other risks as well as other significant non-recurring items. Calculation of EBITDAaL for the 9 months ended 30 September 2019 is presented in the table below.
Organic cash flows are the key measure of cash flow generation used by the Management Board. Starting from 2019, organic cash flows include repayment of capital of lease liabilities. Organic cash flows correspond to net cash provided by operating activities decreased by payments for purchases of property, plant and equipment
and intangible assets and repayment of lease liabilities, increased by impact of net exchange rate effect received/paid on derivatives economically hedging capital expenditures and proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and adjusted for the payments for acquisition of telecommunications licences, payments for costs related to acquisition and integration of new businesses not included in purchase price and payments relating to significant claims, litigation and other risks. Calculation of organic cash flows for the 9 months ended 30 September 2019 and 2018 is presented in the table below.
Capital expenditures are the key measure of resources allocation used by the Management Board and represent acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Starting from 2019, this measure excludes capital expenditures financed by leases and acquisition of telecommunications licences.
Net financial debt and net financial debt to EBITDAaL ratio are the key measures of indebtedness and liquidity used by the Management Board. The calculation of net financial debt is presented in Note 9.
Additionally, to give a better representation of underlying performance, revenue from the Group's activities for the comparative period is adjusted for the impact of deconsolidation of subsidiaries.

(1) Amounts for 2019 and 2018 are not comparable due to the modified retrospective adoption of IFRS 16 by the Group (see Note 3.2).
These unaudited Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") and with all accounting standards applicable to interim financial reporting adopted by the European Union, issued and effective as at the time of preparing the Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (see also Note 4).
These Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
The Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and selected explanatory notes.
Costs that arise unevenly during the year are anticipated or deferred in the quarterly financial statements only if it would also be appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the year.
These Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in millions of Polish zloty ("PLN") and were authorised for issuance by the Management Board on 28 October 2019.
The following standards and interpretations endorsed by the European Union were adopted by the Group as at 1 January 2019:
As at 1 January 2019, the Group adopted the standard IFRS 16 "Leases". The new accounting policy relating to leases applied by the Group is presented in Note 4.1.
The impact of IFRS 16 adoption on the Group's accounts primarily relates to changes in lessee accounting and results in:
a) the accounting for all lease contracts according to a single model in which an asset is recognised in the statement of financial position as an asset for the right to use the leased assets in correspondence with the liability related to the lease obligations;
The Group applied IFRS 16 as of 1 January 2019 using the modified retrospective method without restatement of comparative periods. As the Group decided to measure the right-of-use asset in the amount equal to the lease liability (effect of prepaid or accrued lease payments was negligible), there was no impact on equity as of 1 January 2019.
The Group decided to use the practical expedient as described in IFRS 16 C.10 (c) allowing not to apply the requirements defined in points (a) – (c) above to leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of the initial application.
Adoption of IFRS 16 affected the consolidated statement of financial position as at 1 January 2019 as follows (subject to change considering subsurface rights and future decision on the approach to lease term):
| (in PLN millions) | At 1 January 2019 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Before IFRS 16 | Impact of IFRS 16 adoption |
After IFRS 16 | |
| ASSETS | |||
| Property, plant and equipment | 10,738 | (448) | 10,290 |
| Right-of-use assets | - | 1,742 | 1,742 |
| Total non-current assets | 19,326 | 1,294 | 20,620 |
| Total current assets | 3,969 | - | 3,969 |
| TOTAL ASSETS | 23,295 | 1,294 | 24,589 |
| EQUITY AND LIABILITIES | |||
| Total equity | 10,503 | - | 10,503 |
| Lease liabilities | 112 | 1,058 | 1,170 |
| Total non-current liabilities | 6,846 | 1,058 | 7,904 |
| Lease liabilities | 66 | 236 | 302 |
| Total current liabilities | 5,946 | 236 | 6,182 |
| TOTAL EQUITY AND LIABILITIES | 23,295 | 1,294 | 24,589 |
Additionally, as a consequence of IFRS 16 implementation, certain changes were made to the presentation in the consolidated financial statements, which impacted the comparative data as described below.
In the consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of cash flows two separate lines for depreciation and amortisation and impairment/reversal of impairment of fixed assets were consolidated into one line. Additionally, the Group presents currently interest expense on lease liabilities as a separate line item in the consolidated income statement. Previously, the Group presented these costs together with other interest expense and financial charges. The comparative amounts for the 9 months ended 30 September 2018 were changed accordingly, with no impact on operating or net income/loss.
In the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, certain figures were reclassified to conform with the presentation as at 30 September 2019. Non-current and current lease liabilities were separated from other financial liabilities at amortised cost to new line items.
In the consolidated statement of cash flows two separate lines within cash flows from investing activities for purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and increase/decrease in amounts due to fixed assets suppliers were consolidated into one line presenting payments for purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Additionally, repayment of lease liabilities was reclassified from repayment of longterm debt to a separate line item within cash flows from financing activities. Repayment of other long-term debt is now presented together with increase/decrease in revolving credit line and short-term debt. The comparative amounts were adjusted accordingly for the 9 months ended 30 September 2018, with no impact on net cash provided by/(used in) investing and financing activities.
In June 2019, the IFRS Interpretations Committee (the "Committee") issued a summary of decisions reached in its public meetings to clarify interpretations in respect to IFRS 16 on the following topics:
– Subsurface rights:
The Committee concluded that the arrangement, presented in its decision, where a pipeline operator obtains the right to place a pipeline in an underground space constitutes a lease and therefore this arrangement as presented in this decision should be in scope of IFRS 16.
– Lessee's Incremental Borrowing Rate:
The Committee concluded that the lessee's incremental borrowing rate should be established as a lease-specific rate that takes into account the underlying asset and the terms and conditions of the lease.
– Lease Term and Useful Life of Leasehold Improvements:
The Committee issued a tentative decision that in assessing the notion of no more than an insignificant penalty, when establishing the lease term, the analysis should not capture only the termination penalty payment specified in the contract, but use a broader economic consideration of penalty and thus include all kinds of possible economic outflows related to termination of the contract.
As at 30 September 2019, there was no final decision as regards lease term and useful life of leasehold improvements.
The Group's current accounting policies in respect of these matters, as reflected in these, quarterly financial statements, are as follows:
– Subsurface rights:
The Group does not consider subsurface rights as lease arrangements.
– Lessee's Incremental Borrowing Rate:
The Group considers the underlying asset and the terms and conditions of the lease when establishing the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.
– Lease Term and Useful Life of Leasehold Improvements:
The Group considers the enforceable period to be no longer than the notice period in the determination of the lease term of the arrangements existing in the Group. As far as leasehold improvements are concerned, a definition of their useful life does not have a significant impact on the Group.
After analysis of the Committee's decision related to subsurface rights, the Group concluded that subsurface rights used by the Group, and considered so far as services based on the Group's interpretation of IFRS 16, should be recognised as leases. This conclusion is based on the Committee's decision and the circumstances presented in this decision. Therefore, presentation of the subsurface rights as leases is a change of policy. Currently, the Group analyses the impact of this change and aims to account for it in the 2019 annual financial statements.
As far as the Committee's tentative decision on the lease term is concerned, the Group is currently analysing the potential implications, if any, of this decision on the Group's accounting policies and systems, which may result in an increase in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities presented in the statement of financial position. At 30 September 2019, the potential impact of this decisions could not be reasonably determined.
Except for the changes described in Note 3 and presented below, the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements are materially consistent with those described in Notes 2 and 31 to the audited IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
IFRS 16 "Leases" establishes the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of lease contracts. A single lease accounting model was adopted if the Group acts as a lessee. If the Group acts as a lessor then it continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and accounts for those two types of leases differently.
The Group qualifies a contract as a lease as long as it gives the lessee the right to control the use of a particular asset. In order to qualify a contract as a lease, three main conditions shall be met:
As at 1 January 2019 the Group has defined four major categories of lease contracts:
The accounting presentation of lease contracts in the statement of financial position depends mainly on:
which require significant judgment from the Company's Management Board. The Management Board reviews these estimates if the circumstances on which they were based evolve or in the light of new information or established market practice.
On the lessee's side the Group uses a single accounting model, in which the lessee is required to recognise a rightof-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.
The Group has chosen to apply two exemptions proposed by the standard and expense the following contracts:
The lease duration corresponds to the non-cancellable period of the lease, periods covered by extension options that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise and termination options that the Group is reasonably certain not to exercise. The definition of the contract duration takes also into account the laws and practices specific to the Polish jurisdiction and specificity of Group's contracts. In particular, in case of indefinite period leases the Group adopts the notice period as the non-cancellable period of the lease. In case of indefinite period leases, most of notice periods in the Group are below 12 months and the Group adopted the short term leases exemption for these contracts. As a result, such contracts are treated as short term contracts and are not measured and presented on the balance sheet. For easements in buildings, where the Group located its telecommunication infrastructure, a lease duration is assessed as an average useful life of buildings in the Group.
None of the early termination options were assessed as at 1 January 2019 to be reasonably certain to be exercised. Contracts, for which the execution of extension options was assessed as probable, have immaterial impact on the measurement of the lease liability.
At the lease commencement date, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.
The right-of-use asset is measured at cost which comprises:
At the date of initial application of IFRS 16, 1 January 2019, no significant lease prepayments and initial direct costs were identified.
After the commencement date, the Group measures the right-of-use asset applying a cost model, less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, as well as any adjustments resulting from remeasurement of the lease liability.
The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the Group incremental borrowing rates as the rates implicit in the lease are not easily determinable. Discount rates adopted are based on Polish state bond yield, adjusted by credit spread observable for entities with similar credit rating. Discount rates are differentiated by duration and by currency, and not by class of assets.
The lease liability comprises the following payments:
At the moment of initial application fixed and variable payments were identified in the lease contracts.
After the commencement date, the lease liability is increased to reflect interest on the lease liability and reduced to reflect the lease payments made, as well remeasured to reflect any reassessment or lease modification. Only the lease component is taken into account in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and of the lease liability. Other non-lease components, like payments for utilities, are accounted for separately in accordance with other applicable accounting standards.
The Group continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset.
Examples of situations that individually or in combination would lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease are as follows:

| Total revenue | 2,870 | 8,407 | 2,755 | 8,171 |
Wholesale and other revenue for the 9 months ended 30 September 2019 include PLN 35 million of lease revenue that is outside the scope of IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".
Vast majority of the Group's individual assets do not generate cash flows independently from other assets due to the nature of the Group's activities, therefore the Group identifies all telecom operations as a single telecom operator Cash Generating Unit ("CGU").
As at 30 June 2019 and 2018 the Group performed impairment tests of the CGU (including goodwill).
No impairment loss was recognised in the years 2019 and 2018.
The following key assumptions were used to determine the value in use of the telecom operator CGU:
The amounts assigned to each of these parameters reflect past experience adjusted for expected changes over the timeframe of the long-term financial projections, but may also be affected by unforeseeable changes in the political, economic or legal framework.
| Telecom operator CGU | ||

| At 30 June 2019 |

| Post-tax discount rate | 7.50% | 8.00% |
| Pre-tax discount rate (1) | 8.68% | 9.32% |
(1) Pre-tax discount rate is calculated as a post-tax discount rate adjusted to reflect the specific amount and timing of the future tax cash flows.
The value in use of the telecom operator CGU as at 30 June 2019 exceeds its carrying value by PLN 3.4 billion. Any of the following changes in key assumptions:
would bring the value in use of the telecom operator CGU to the level of its carrying value.
The Group's activities are subject to some seasonality. The fourth quarter is typically a peak sales season with high commercial spending and with increased capital expenditures resulting from investment cycle management applied by the Group. Seasonally high capital expenditures in the fourth quarter are followed by higher payments
to fixed assets suppliers in the first quarter of the subsequent year resulting in higher cash used in investing activities.
From 2019, the Group extended the estimated useful lives for certain network assets and items of software which decreased the depreciation and amortisation expense by PLN 145 million in the 9 months ended 30 September 2019. Depreciation and amortisation expense in 2019 relating to these assets is expected to be lower by approximately PLN 192 million in comparison to 2018.
In 2018, the Company and T-Mobile Polska signed a long term contract on telecommunications access to Orange Polska's fiber network in the form of Bitstream Access. OPL S.A. started providing services in December 2018. The fees under the contract comprise mainly a fixed upfront fee of PLN 275 million, a fixed fee for infrastructure set-up, IT systems integration and monthly fees for each customer. The revenue from the contract will be recognised during 15 years which currently is the estimated period of the contract. The Group applies input method to measure revenue for the period with the application of constraint in respect to recognition of revenue to the level that is highly probable not to be reversed in the future. In result, the fixed fee elements will be evenly accounted as revenue over 15 years, while the variable fees dependent on the number of end-customers will be recognised as revenue based on the actual number of customers in the period.
On 20 June 2019, Orange Polska and BNP Paribas S.A. concluded an agreement under which OPL S.A. sells selected receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments, based on which sold receivables are derecognised from the consolidated statement of financial position. The impact on cash flows from operating activities for the 9 months ending 30 September 2019 does amount to PLN 224 million and loss on derecognition recognised in other operating expense for the same period amounts to PLN 3 million. As a result of the agreement, PLN 187 million of trade receivables held as at 30 September 2019 were classified in the measured at fair value through other comprehensive income category, as the business model for those receivables is to collect contractual cash flows and sell them.
In the 9 months ended 30 September 2019, the Group amended terms of the lease of its headquarters. As a result, the lease liability and right-of-use assets increased by PLN 211 million.
Gains on disposal of assets for the 9 months ended 30 September 2019 amounted to PLN 266 million and included mainly gains on disposal of real estate. On 29 August 2019, the Group concluded an agreement to sell Nowogrodzka/Św. Barbary real estate property complex for EUR 81 million (approximately PLN 350 million). Gain on disposal amounted to PLN 212 million. Additionally, Orange Polska has leased back the portion of the real estate until 2026, in order to allow sufficient time for migration of the network equipment located in the complex. As a result of the sale and leaseback agreements, the lease liability increased by PLN 88 million.
The amount of trade payables subject to reverse factoring decreased from PLN 232 million as at 31 December 2018 to PLN 193 million as at 30 September 2019. These payables are presented together with the remaining balance of trade payables, as analysis conducted by the Group indicates they have retained their trade nature.
On 12 June 2019, the Group purchased 100% of shares in BlueSoft and Essembli – a subsidiary of BlueSoft. Both companies are providing a variety of IT services in the areas of application development and integration, system customization, analytics and cloud services. The acquisition is consistent with the Group's strategy that focuses on expanding competencies to more value added ICT services in order to meet growing demand
of business customers on enterprise market in the areas of digital transformation including cloud, microservices and dedicated portals as well as cybersecurity.
According to the agreement, the total transaction value amounts to PLN 204 million and includes acquisition price of PLN 182 million and remuneration for post-transaction services currently estimated at PLN 22 million. Out of the acquisition price, PLN 147 million was paid upon signing of the agreement. The remaining part, currently estimated at PLN 35 million, is a contingent consideration that will be settled before the end of 2022 and will be based on achieving certain financial targets of BlueSoft and Essembli in 2019 and 2020 as well as on meeting certain other legal conditions. Remuneration for post-transaction services will be accounted for as a cost related to integration of new subsidiaries and will be recognised in the consolidated income statement in years 2019-2021 as labour expense. In the 9 months ended 30 September 2019, the Group recognised PLN 7 million of costs related to acquisition and integration of new subsidiaries.
The Group accounted for the acquisition provisionally and recognised the following assets and liabilities:
| (in PLN millions) | |
|---|---|
| Assets: | |
|---|---|
| Goodwill | 111 |
| Other intangible assets (1) | 47 |
| Deferred tax assets | (9) |
| Trade receivables | 29 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 15 |
| Other | 19 |
| Total assets | 212 |
| Liabilities: | |
| Trade payables | 11 |
| Other | 19 |
| Total liabilities | 30 |
(1) Includes PLN 47 million of customer contracts and the related customer relationships recognised at fair value.
The Group recognised PLN 56 million of revenue and PLN 2 million of net income with respect to BlueSoft and Essembli since the acquisition date, including PLN 8 million of revenue recognised on intra-group transactions and eliminated on consolidation.
Net financial debt is a measure of indebtedness used by the Management Board. Since the calculation of this aggregate is not defined by IFRS, the methodology adopted by the Group is presented below. Starting from 2019, following the adoption of IFRS 16 (see Note 3.2), the Group redefined net financial debt and currently the measure excludes lease liabilities. As a result, comparative amounts in this note were adjusted.
| (in PLN millions) | At 30 September |
At 31 December |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Loans from related party | 6,857 | 7,332 |

(1) Excludes PLN 178 million of finance lease liabilities at 31 December 2018.
On 11 February 2019, the Group and Atlas Services Belgium S.A., a subsidiary of Orange S.A., concluded a Loan Agreement for PLN 1,500 million with repayment date in May 2024. The new Loan Agreement, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, provided non-cash-refinancing of EUR 480 million loan granted by Atlas Services Belgium S.A., which expired in May 2019.
In the 9 months ended 30 September 2019, the net cash flows from issuance and repayments of the Revolving Credit Facility from Atlas Services Belgium S.A. amounted to PLN (470) million.
As at 30 September 2019, the total outstanding balance of loans from the related party amounted to PLN 6,857 million, including accrued interest and arrangement fees. The weighted average effective interest rate on loans from the related party amounted to 2.46% before swaps and 3.07% after swaps as at 30 September 2019.
In the 9 months ended 30 September 2019, the Group entered into new derivative transactions under the agreement with Orange S.A. hedging interest rate risk on the related party financing provided in PLN. As at 30 September 2019, the total nominal amount of cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps, outstanding under the agreement with Orange S.A., was EUR 190 million and PLN 5,450 million, respectively, with a total negative fair value amounting to PLN 15 million.
Derivative instruments are measured subsequent to their initial recognition at fair value. The fair value of derivatives is determined as described in Note 21 to the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. Significant inputs to the valuation technique used by the Group to measure the fair value of derivatives are classified to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy described in Note 22.1.
The carrying amount of the Group's financial instruments excluding lease liabilities approximates their fair value, except for telecommunications licence payables for which as at 30 September 2019 and 31 December 2018 the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying amount by PLN 74 million and PLN 84 million, respectively, due to significant change between the original effective interest rates at the date of the initial recognition and current market rates.
In accordance with the recommendation of the Management Board of the Company there was no dividend paid in 2019.
The information hereunder refers to the matters presented in Note 28 to the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 or describes major matters that occurred after 31 December 2018.
a. Proceedings by UOKiK
UOKiK informed the Company that it had further prolonged the proceedings. The indicated date of prolongation is 31 December 2019.
P4 Sp. z o.o. appealed the verdict of 27 December 2018 dismissing P4's claim for PLN 316 million in its entirety to the Appeal Court.
On 9 February 2018, the court, which examines Magna Polonia S.A.'s claim, decided to stay the proceedings until the Supreme Court issues its verdict in the competition proceedings. The Supreme Court will announce its verdict in those proceedings on 31 October 2019.
Apart from the above-mentioned, operational activities of the Group are subject to legal, tax, social and administrative regulations and the Group is a party to a number of legal and tax proceedings and commercial contracts related to its operational activities. Some regulatory decisions can be detrimental to the Group and court verdicts within appeal proceedings against such decisions can have negative consequences for the Group. The Group monitors the risks on a regular basis and the Management believes that adequate provisions have been recorded for known and quantifiable risks.
As at 30 September 2019, Orange S.A. owned 50.67% of shares of the Company. Orange S.A. has majority of the total number of votes at the General Meeting of OPL S.A. which appoints OPL S.A.'s Supervisory Board Members. The Supervisory Board decides about the composition of the Management Board. According to the Company's Articles of Association, at least 4 Members of the Supervisory Board must be independent. The majority of Members of the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board are independent.
The Group's income earned from the Orange Group comprises mainly data transmission, interconnect and research and development services. The purchases from the Orange Group comprise mainly brand fees, costs of interconnect and data transmission.
Financial receivables, liabilities, finance costs, net and other comprehensive income/loss concerning transactions with the Orange Group relate mainly to loan agreements concluded with Atlas Services Belgium S.A. and agreement with Orange S.A. concerning derivative transactions to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk related to the above-mentioned loan agreements. Cash and cash equivalents deposited with Orange S.A. relate to the Cash Management Treasury Agreement.

These unaudited Condensed IFRS Quarterly Separate Financial Statements for the 9 months ended 30 September 2019 (the "Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements") are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") and with all accounting standards applicable to interim financial reporting adopted by the European Union, issued and effective as at the time of preparing the Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements (see also Note 3).
These Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Orange Polska S.A. IFRS Separate Financial Statements and the notes thereto ("IFRS Separate Financial Statements") for the year ended 31 December 2018.
The Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements include the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and selected explanatory notes.
Costs that arise unevenly during the year are anticipated or deferred in the quarterly financial statements only if it would also be appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the year.
Orange Polska S.A. is the parent company of the Orange Polska Group ("the Group", "OPL Group") and prepares quarterly consolidated financial statements for the 9 months ended 30 September 2019. The Group is a part of Orange Group, based in France.
These Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements are prepared in millions of Polish zloty ("PLN") and were authorised for issuance by the Management Board on 28 October 2019.
The following standards and interpretations endorsed by the European Union were adopted by the Company as at 1 January 2019:
– IFRS 16 "Leases". This standard has been endorsed by the European Union on 31 October 2017 and is applicable for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
– IFRIC Interpretation 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments". This interpretation has been endorsed by the European Union on 23 October 2018 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. There is no impact of the interpretation on the Company's financial statements.
As at 1 January 2019, the Company adopted the standard IFRS 16 "Leases". The new accounting policy relating to leases applied by the Company is presented in Note 3.1.
The impact of IFRS 16 adoption on the Company's accounts primarily relates to changes in lessee accounting and results in:
The Company applied IFRS 16 as of 1 January 2019 using the modified retrospective method without restatement of comparative periods. As the Company decided to measure the right-of-use asset in the amount equal to the lease liability (effect of prepaid or accrued lease payments was negligible), there was no impact on equity as of 1 January 2019.
The Company decided to use the practical expedient as described in IFRS 16 C.10 (c) allowing not to apply the requirements defined in points (a) – (c) above to leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of the initial application.
Adoption of IFRS 16 affected the statement of financial position as at 1 January 2019 as follows (subject to change considering subsurface rights and future decision on the approach to lease term):

Additionally, as a consequence of IFRS 16 implementation, certain changes were made to the presentation in the financial statements, which impacted the comparative data as described below.
In the income statement and statement of cash flows two separate lines for depreciation and amortisation and impairment/reversal of impairment of fixed assets were consolidated into one line. Additionally, the Company presents currently interest expense on lease liabilities as a separate line item in the income statement. Previously, the Company presented these costs together with other interest expense and financial charges. The comparative amounts for the 9 months ended 30 September 2018 were changed accordingly, with no impact on operating or net income/loss.
In the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, certain figures were reclassified to conform with the presentation as at 30 September 2019. Non-current and current lease liabilities were separated from financial liabilities at amortised cost excluding trade payables to new line items.
In the statement of cash flows two separate lines within cash flows from investing activities for purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and increase/decrease in amounts due to fixed assets suppliers were consolidated into one line presenting payments for purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Additionally, repayment of lease liabilities was reclassified from repayment of long-term debt to a separate line item within cash flows from financing activities. Repayment of other long-term debt is now presented together with increase/decrease in revolving credit line and short-term debt. The comparative amounts were adjusted accordingly for the 9 months ended 30 September 2018, with no impact on net cash provided by/(used in) investing and financing activities.
In June 2019, the IFRS Interpretations Committee (the "Committee") issued a summary of decisions reached in its public meetings to clarify interpretations in respect to IFRS 16 on the following topics:
– Subsurface rights:
The Committee concluded that the arrangement, presented in its decision, where a pipeline operator obtains the right to place a pipeline in an underground space constitutes a lease and therefore this arrangement as presented in this decision should be in scope of IFRS 16.
– Lessee's Incremental Borrowing Rate:
The Committee concluded that the lessee's incremental borrowing rate should be established as a lease-specific rate that takes into account the underlying asset and the terms and conditions of the lease.
– Lease Term and Useful Life of Leasehold Improvements:
The Committee issued a tentative decision that in assessing the notion of no more than an insignificant penalty, when establishing the lease term, the analysis should not capture only the termination penalty payment specified in the contract, but use a broader economic consideration of penalty and thus include all kinds of possible economic outflows related to termination of the contract.
As at 30 September 2019, there was no final decision as regards lease term and useful life of leasehold improvements.
The Company's current accounting policies in respect of these matters, as reflected in these, quarterly financial statements, are as follows:
– Subsurface rights:
The Company does not consider subsurface rights as lease arrangements.
The Company considers the underlying asset and the terms and conditions of the lease when establishing the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.
The Company considers the enforceable period to be no longer than the notice period in the determination of the lease term of the arrangements existing in the Company. As far as leasehold improvements are concerned, a definition of their useful life does not have a significant impact on the Company.
After analysis of the Committee's decision related to subsurface rights, the Company concluded that subsurface rights used by the Company, and considered so far as services based on the Company's interpretation of IFRS 16, should be recognised as leases. This conclusion is based on the Committee's decision and the circumstances presented in this decision. Therefore, presentation of the subsurface rights as leases is a change of policy. Currently, the Company analyses the impact of this change and aims to account for it in the 2019 annual financial statements.
As far as the Committee's tentative decision on the lease term is concerned, the Company is currently analysing the potential implications, if any, of this decision on the Company's accounting policies and systems, which may result in an increase in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities presented in the statement of financial position. At 30 September 2019, the potential impact of this decisions could not be reasonably determined.
Except for the changes described in Note 2 and presented below, the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements are materially consistent with those described in Notes 2 and 30 to the audited IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
IFRS 16 "Leases" establishes the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of lease contracts. A single lease accounting model was adopted if the Company acts as a lessee. If the Company acts as a lessor then it continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and accounts for those two types of leases differently.
The Company qualifies a contract as a lease as long as it gives the lessee the right to control the use of a particular asset. In order to qualify a contract as a lease, three main conditions shall be met:
As at 1 January 2019 the Company has defined four major categories of lease contracts:
The accounting presentation of lease contracts in the statement of financial position depends mainly on:
which require significant judgment from the Company's Management Board. The Management Board reviews these estimates if the circumstances on which they were based evolve or in the light of new information or established market practice.
On the lessee's side the Company uses a single accounting model, in which the lessee is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments.
The Company has chosen to apply two exemptions proposed by the standard and expense the following contracts:
The lease duration corresponds to the non-cancellable period of the lease, periods covered by extension options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise and termination options that the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise. The definition of the contract duration takes also into account the laws and practices specific to the Polish jurisdiction and specificity of Company's contracts. In particular, in case of indefinite period leases the Company adopts the notice period as the non-cancellable period of the lease. In case of indefinite period leases, most of notice periods in the Company are below 12 months and the Company adopted the short term leases exemption for these contracts. As a result, such contracts are treated as short term contracts and are not measured and presented on the balance sheet. For easements in buildings, where the Company located its telecommunication infrastructure, a lease duration is assessed as an average useful life of buildings in the Company.
None of the early termination options were assessed as at 1 January 2019 to be reasonably certain to be exercised. Contracts, for which the execution of extension options was assessed as probable, have immaterial impact on the measurement of the lease liability.
At the lease commencement date, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.
The right-of-use asset is measured at cost which comprises:
At the date of initial application of IFRS 16, 1 January 2019, no significant lease prepayments and initial direct costs were identified.
After the commencement date, the Company measures the right-of-use asset applying a cost model, less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, as well as any adjustments resulting from remeasurement of the lease liability.
The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the Company incremental borrowing rates as the rates implicit in the lease are not easily determinable. Discount rates adopted are based on Polish state bond yield, adjusted by credit spread observable for entities with similar credit rating. Discount rates are differentiated by duration and by currency, and not by class of assets.
The lease liability comprises the following payments:
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
At the moment of initial application fixed and variable payments were identified in the lease contracts.
After the commencement date, the lease liability is increased to reflect interest on the lease liability and reduced to reflect the lease payments made, as well remeasured to reflect any reassessment or lease modification. Only the lease component is taken into account in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and of the lease liability. Other non-lease components, like payments for utilities, are accounted for separately in accordance with other applicable accounting standards.
The Company continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset.
Examples of situations that individually or in combination would lead to a lease being classified as a finance lease are as follows:

Vast majority of the Company's individual assets do not generate cash flows independently from other assets due to the nature of the Company's activities, therefore the Company identifies all telecom operations as a single telecom operator Cash Generating Unit ("CGU").
As at 30 June 2019 and 2018 the Company performed impairment tests of the CGU (including goodwill).
No impairment loss was recognised in the years 2019 and 2018.
The following key assumptions were used to determine the value in use of the telecom operator CGU:
The amounts assigned to each of these parameters reflect past experience adjusted for expected changes over the timeframe of the long-term financial projections, but may also be affected by unforeseeable changes in the political, economic or legal framework.

| Post-tax discount rate | 7.50% | 8.00% |
| Pre-tax discount rate (1) | 8.68% | 9.32% |
(1) Pre-tax discount rate is calculated as a post-tax discount rate adjusted to reflect the specific amount and timing of the future tax cash flows.
The value in use of the telecom operator CGU as at 30 June 2019 exceeds its carrying value by PLN 3.4 billion. Any of the following changes in key assumptions:
would bring the value in use of the telecom operator CGU to the level of its carrying value.
The Company's activities are subject to some seasonality. The fourth quarter is typically a peak sales season with high commercial spending and with increased capital expenditures resulting from investment cycle management applied by the Company. Seasonally high capital expenditures in the fourth quarter are followed by higher payments to fixed assets suppliers in the first quarter of the subsequent year resulting in higher cash used in investing activities.
From 2019, the Company extended the estimated useful lives for certain network assets and items of software which decreased the depreciation and amortisation expense by PLN 145 million in the 9 months ended 30 September 2019. Depreciation and amortisation expense in 2019 relating to these assets is expected to be lower by approximately PLN 192 million in comparison to 2018.
In 2018, the Company and T-Mobile Polska signed a long term contract on telecommunications access to Orange Polska's fiber network in the form of Bitstream Access. OPL S.A. started providing services in December 2018. The fees under the contract comprise mainly a fixed upfront fee of PLN 275 million, a fixed fee for infrastructure set-up, IT systems integration and monthly fees for each customer. The revenue from the contract will be recognised during 15 years which currently is the estimated period of the contract. The Company applies input method to measure revenue for the period with the application of constraint in respect to recognition of revenue to the level that is highly probable not to be reversed in the future. In result, the fixed fee elements will be evenly accounted as revenue over 15 years, while the variable fees dependent on the number of end-customers will be recognised as revenue based on the actual number of customers in the period.
On 20 June 2019, Orange Polska and BNP Paribas S.A. concluded an agreement under which OPL S.A. sells selected receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments, based on which sold receivables are derecognised from the statement of financial position. The impact on cash flows from operating activities for the 9 months ending 30 September 2019 does amount to PLN 224 million and loss on derecognition recognised in other operating expense for the same period amounts to PLN 3 million. As a result of the agreement,
PLN 187 million of trade receivables held as at 30 September 2019 were classified in the measured at fair value through other comprehensive income category, as the business model for those receivables is to collect contractual cash flows and sell them.
In the 9 months ended 30 September 2019, the Company amended terms of the lease of its headquarters. As a result, the lease liability and right-of-use assets increased by PLN 211 million.
Gains on disposal of assets for the 9 months ended 30 September 2019 amounted to PLN 256 million and included mainly gains on disposal of real estate. On 29 August 2019, the Company concluded an agreement to sell Nowogrodzka/Św. Barbary real estate property complex for EUR 81 million (approximately PLN 350 million). Gain on disposal amounted to PLN 212 million. Additionally, Orange Polska has leased back the portion of the real estate until 2026, in order to allow sufficient time for migration of the network equipment located in the complex. As a result of the sale and leaseback agreements, the lease liability increased by PLN 88 million.
The amount of trade payables subject to reverse factoring decreased from PLN 220 million as at 31 December 2018 to PLN 183 million as at 30 September 2019. These payables are presented together with the remaining balance of trade payables, as analysis conducted by the Company indicates they have retained their trade nature.
On 12 June 2019, the Company purchased 100% of shares in BlueSoft Sp. z o.o. ("BlueSoft"). BlueSoft is providing a variety of IT services in the areas of application development and integration, system customization, analytics and cloud services. According to the agreement, the total transaction value amounts to PLN 183 million and includes acquisition price of PLN 168 million and remuneration for post-transaction services currently estimated at PLN 15 million. Out of the acquisition price, PLN 133 million was paid upon signing of the agreement. The remaining part, currently estimated at PLN 35 million, is a contingent consideration that will be settled before the end of 2022 and will be based on achieving certain financial targets of BlueSoft in 2019 and 2020 as well as on meeting certain other legal conditions. Remuneration for post-transaction services will be accounted for as a cost related to integration of new subsidiary and will be recognised in the income statement in years 2019-2021.
On 11 February 2019, the Company and Atlas Services Belgium S.A., a subsidiary of Orange S.A., concluded a Loan Agreement for PLN 1,500 million with repayment date in May 2024. The new Loan Agreement, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, provided non-cash-refinancing of EUR 480 million loan granted by Atlas Services Belgium S.A., which expired in May 2019.

As at 30 September 2019, the total outstanding balance of loans from the related party amounted to PLN 6,857 million, including accrued interest and arrangement fees. The weighted average effective interest rate on loans from the related party amounted to 2.46% before swaps and 3.07% after swaps as at 30 September 2019.

of the outstanding bonds issued under the programme amounted to PLN 11 million and PLN 112 million, respectively.
Derivative instruments are measured subsequent to their initial recognition at fair value. The fair value of derivatives is determined as described in Note 20 to the IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. Significant inputs to the valuation technique used by the Company to measure the fair value of derivatives are classified to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy described in Note 21.1.
The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments excluding lease liabilities approximates their fair value, except for telecommunications licence payables for which as at 30 September 2019 and 31 December 2018 the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying amount by PLN 74 million and PLN 84 million, respectively, due to significant change between the original effective interest rates at the date of the initial recognition and current market rates.
In accordance with the recommendation of the Management Board of the Company there was no dividend paid in 2019.
