General Meeting on 18 June 2025.
In the current reporting period, the Company continued the implementation of the "Strategy of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group to the year 2030 with an outlook to 2040", adopted on 14 January 2022 by the Supervisory Board of the Company, based on the development directions: Elasticity/flexibility, Efficiency, Ecology, E-industry and Energy (the Strategy).
At the same time, the Management Board of the Company engaged in work related to reviewing and updating the Strategy, adapting it to the changing conditions in the sector as well as to current challenges and the Group's operating situation.
Key achievements in individual strategic directions of development
| Efficiency | − | Continuation of the Deposit Access Program – 21.6 kilometres of tunnelling were excavated in the Rudna and Polkowice-Sieroszowice mines. The work carried out was related to building infrastructure as regards among others the power system, building piping and local pumps, conveyor belt haulage and air conditioning, which enables the successive opening of new mining areas. |
|---|---|---|
| − | Preparatory work commenced, comprising among others geological-hydrogeological research, related to the planned construction of three new mine shafts: GG-2 "Odra", Retków and Gaworzyce, for the Rudna and Polkowice-Sieroszowice mines. These investments are a key element in the functioning and development of the Core Production Business of KGHM and will enable further mining of existing and future deposit concessions. Estimated expenditures on the shaft projects are a minimum of PLN 9 billion. |
|
| − | Development of the Żelazny Most Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) continued, among others an environmental impact statement decision was received as well as a construction permit to develop the TSF above the crown height of 195 m a.s.l. Work was carried out on building up the walls of the TSF and infrastructure, among others as regards the East and Kalinka pumps, the construction of excess water intakes and superstructures of towers. |
|
| − | Work was carried out on restricting the level of the water hazard – a project was continued to build an anti filtration barrier to restrict the level of inflow of water from the rockmass to the "Polkowice-Sieroszowice" mine and to increase the possibilities of pumping out underground water. |
|
| − | R&D activities were carried out, aimed at searching for innovative solutions primarily for the Core Production Business of the Company. |
|
| − | Actions were undertaken to enable the acquisition of external sources to finance R&D&I projects, in particular from EU assistance funds as well as domestic programs. Initiatives were undertaken aimed at preparing and advancing subsidised projects. Other available support mechanisms were also utilised in this area. |
|
| − | In order to undertake optimisation activities, raising in a permanent and strategic way the economic efficiency of the Group, work is underway related to preparing a Costs Optimisation Program for the Group. |
|
| − | Electrolytic copper production in the domestic assets amounted to 272 thousand tonnes, which was higher compared to the adopted budget targets for the first half of 2025 by 0.6%. |
|
| − | Payable copper production in the international assets was slightly higher compared to the adopted budget targets and amounted to 71.7 thousand tonnes, of which: Sierra Gorda 42.4 thousand tonnes (55%); Robinson 27.8 thousand tonnes; Carlota 1.2 thousand tonnes; Sudbury Basin 0.3 thousand tonnes. |
|
| − | Production of silver by the Group amounted to 657 tonnes of silver, which kept the Company in first place in the ranking of the "largest silver mines in the world" (World Silver Survey 2025 ranking) and in second place in the global ranking " largest silver producers". |
|
| Elasticity /flexibility |
− | Exploration projects continued with respect to exploring for and evaluating copper ore deposits in the Copper Basin in Poland (Retków-Ścinawa, Głogów, Synklina Grodziecka, Radwanice, Kulów-Luboszyce). Preparatory work commenced on re-starting geological and other work on the Bytom Odrzański concession in the Lubuski voivodeship. |
| − | In terms of other non-copper concessions for exploration and evaluation, work is underway as regards developing a feasibility study for the management of the Mieroszyno deposit of potassium and magnesium salts in the vicinity of Puck. The Minister of Climate and the Environment issued a decision approving the geological deposit documentation. Moreover, a concession for the exploration and evaluation of crude oil and natural gas in the area of Nowe Miasteczko expired. |
|
| − | In the area of metallurgy, work continued on developing business justifications for the analysis of development directions, including as regards projects in the area of processing. Modernisation work continued as regards the electrorefining process by converting to permanent starter sheet technology at the Legnica Copper Smelter and Refinery. |
|
| − | The copper cathodes produced at the Głogów Copper Smelter and Refinery were registered on the American exchange CME, at the same time representing the fourth international metals exchange where the Company's cathodes are registered and attesting to the product's high quality. |
|
| − | The Company is systematically increasing the amount of copper scrap it processes in its metallurgical plants. During the reported period, 86 thousand tonnes of copper scrap (dry weight) were processed. |
| − | Internal production testing commenced at the Legnica Copper Smelter and Refinery, assessing the technical, technological and market potential for the production of lead alloys. |
|
|---|---|---|
| − | Development projects in the international assets were continued, including the sinking of an exploration shaft under the Advanced Exploration stage of the Victoria project in Canada, whose goal is to provide a detailed level of knowledge of the mineral resources. At the Sierra Gorda mine, work was carried out related to preparing project documentation to build a fourth grinding line as well as an exploration program, aimed at a more precise assessment of already-identified mineralisation bodies, as well as exploration of new areas beyond the Catabela pit. |
|
| Ecology, Safety | − | Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by the KGHM Group in 2024 were calculated. |
| and Sustainable Development |
− | Annual reports on CO2 emissions for 2024 to meet the needs of the system for the trading of greenhouse gas emissions allowances were verified by an authorised entity. |
| − | Work on the Transformation Plan for KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. for climate change mitigation continued. | |
| − | Actions were continued related to managing water and reducing the salt content of water discharged to the Odra river. Tests were concluded positively for the desalinisation of mine water in a pilot reverse osmosis installation at the Lubin mine. Technical and economic assessment is being prepared aimed at adapting the scale of the installation to the flow of water at the Lubin mine. |
|
| − | A second oversight audit was performed on the Energy Management System (EMS) by an independent Certification Body, which ended in a positive result. KGHM maintains the validity of the ISO PN-EN ISO 50001:2018- compliant EMS Certificate granted in 2023. |
|
| − | The Occupational Health and Safety Improvement Program was continued (LTIFR: 5.18, TRIR: 0.42). A Climbing Related Medical Training Centre (Centrum Szkoleniowe Medyczno-Wysokościowe) was opened, providing advanced training for the Emergency Mine-Smelter Rescue Division. Individual Divisions of KGHM carried out annual Safety Days, whose goal is to promote health and safety amongst employees of the raw materials industry. |
|
| E-industry | − | The advancement of projects to automate the production lines of the Mining Divisions of the Company continued. Operational testing continued of the prototype bolting rig with an automated bolting turret at the Rudna mine. Initiatives were advanced related to testing electric battery-powered mining machines. Actions were undertaken related to starting the testing of electric battery-powered machines to transport people and materials. |
| − | The system for locating and identifying machinery and people in the underground mines was integrated and extended. |
|
| − | Following the positive completion of functional testing of a specialised robot capable of high-temperature operation in the Głogów II Copper Smelter and Refinery, based on the experience gained, actions commenced as regards designing an individual passage cleaning system in the vicinity of the Głogów I Copper Smelter and Refinery. |
|
| − | The advancement of projects in the area of digital transformation continued, focused on implementing tools using new technology and IT solutions as well as tasks involving the operationalisation and harmonisation of cyber security processes. |
|
| Energy | − | Intensive actions continued in the area of energy, aimed at increasing the Company's energy security and independence. |
| − | In the first half of 2025, own sources of energy, including from RES in the Group, supplied 39% of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.'s need for ordered electrical power. |
|
| − | The package of projects aimed at increasing power generation from own sources was developed, including from RES, among others photovoltaic farms and a wind farm, by a total of approx. 180 MW. At present, some of these projects have building permits, while other projects are at the preparatory stage of gaining administrative approval and developing area management plans. |
|
| − | Market analysis continues as regards the possibility of advancing acquisition processes, located in the vicinity of the Divisions of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., in particular in the area of wind power. |
|
| − | Analytical work is underway as regards the capture, transport and geological storage of carbon dioxide under conceptual work to construct a carbon dioxide capture installation (CCS technology) for the metallurgical production line at the Głogów Copper Smelter and Refinery. |
|
| − | Analytical work is underway on utilising energy storage facilities, which will ultimately cooperate with the planned construction of photovoltaic farms (PV) and wind farms (PW). |
|
| − | The Sierra Gorda mine operates solely on RES-generated power. |
Of fundamental importance for the Group is development of the resource base and ensuring profitable production, while at the same time maximising the value of the assets held in the long term. In the short-term perspective, the existing policy aimed at adapting the functioning of the organisation to the business model and the market environment, as well as at cooperation between the Group's entities, will be continued. Nevertheless, an important task will be the advancement of investments with a view to ensuring cost effectiveness and development scenarios for the individual international assets in the Company's portfolio.
As part of the implementation of the Climate Policy and the energy transition, an increase is expected in the scope of investment in renewable energy sources to meet own needs, projects related to improving energy efficiency and projects aimed at protecting the environment and adapting to increasing regulatory requirements in this regard.
Key development-related investments include projects as regards the Core Production Business, including among others:
The Group has solid foundations for further growth and strengthening of the Company's position on the global commodity market. The Group's functioning is determined by its ability to adapt to changing market conditions, use of innovative technologies and effective management of geopolitical and regulatory risks. Adapting to global trends related to ESG and energy transition is also of key importance.
The KGHM Group, due to the nature of the products it sells, operates on a market highly dependent on the market environment, including macroeconomic conditions. In particular, a significant impact on the KGHM Group's results in the first half of 2025 came from the general economic situation, which impacted the level of metals consumption globally, as well as the prices of these metals and exchange rates.
In the first half of 2025, uncertainty in the global economy was very high, with particular emphasis on uncertainty in international trade. Amongst the most important factors shaping the macroeconomic landscape during the reporting period in question were the following:
| Geopolitical hazards |
− a change in the paradigm in the USA's international policy towards isolationism, and consequently a gradual change in the composition of alliances globally. A change in the geopolitical balance of power from a bi-polar to a multi-polar world, − continuation of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, with particular emphasis on the undermining of the role of the USA as Ukraine's main ally, − expansion of the conflict in the Middle East by open war between Israel and Iran, in which the United States was also engaged, conducting attacks on Iranian uranium enrichment installations and military facilities, − a deepening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and growing tension around the conflict, − the USA is dealing with greater political polarisation, social tensions and controversial institutional reforms, creating challenges for the maintenance of internal stability and the predictability of the regulatory environment |
|---|---|
| Trade war | − commencement of tariff war, including its culmination on 2 April during so-called "Liberation Day", − marginalisation of the stabilising role of the WTO for global trade, − prolonged trade negotiations by the USA with numerous trade partners generate fears of possible retaliation and protective tariffs, particularly in the context of China's export surplus, which could be directed beyond the American market. |
| Copper market fundamentals |
− restrictions in the form of the small number of new investments in mining projects, − a clear surplus in metallurgical capacity over the supply of copper-bearing materials, − changes in regulations in the USA, aimed at facilitating the construction of mines, − a change in the structure of demand for copper in China – higher demand from sectors related to modern technology and the energy transition, − a drop in global economic development forecasts by the largest forecasting institutions as a result of uncertainty caused by the trade war, − in the first half of the year thousands of tonnes of copper were relocated to the USA. Investors tried to import material to the United States before the end of the "Section 232" procedure, which, as expected, was to end with the introduction of tariffs on copper. As a result, inventories in exchange warehouses in the rest of the world fell substantially, − just after the end of the reporting period, on 8 July, President Trump announced, in an unofficial statement, the imposition of a 50% tariff on the import of copper to the USA |
| Currency market |
− central banks began a cycle of interest rate cuts, with various rates in individual economies. The most advanced in its cycle of monetary easing is the ECB. The US Fed reduced rates only once, basing its decision on the threat of price stability due to increased tariffs, − the policy of the new American administration is perceived by the market as one which weakens the domination of the US dollar, as a result of which the USD weakened in the first half of the year, − the new budget bill supported by Trump ("One Big Beautiful Bill Act") may lead to a permanent budget deficit in the USA at a high level, − continued, relatively high interest rates in Poland and investor expectations as to a reduction in the intensity of the conflict in Ukraine led to a strengthened PLN, − decisions by EU member states, especially as regards Germany, on increasing spending on defence and the fiscal easing of debt rules, may lead to the higher profitability of European debt and appreciation of the common currency. |
The average cash settlement price of copper in the first half of 2025 on the LME ranged from 8 539 – 10 115 USD/t. The first half of 2025 brought declarations of the imposition of tariffs on the import of copper to the USA. A rapid inflow of metal to this country was observed, aimed at avoiding the potential, forthcoming tariffs. This situation led to the build-up of substantial copper inventories in the USA at the cost of the rest of the world, as reflected in the rapid growth of inventories in COMEX warehouses, and at the same time falling inventories in LME and SHFE warehouses. The desire to rapidly acquire metal for delivery to the USA led to a rapid increase in the spread between the price of copper on COMEX versus on the LME, which in the first half of the year exceeded 1 600 USD/t. The high consumption of physical metal resulted in backwardation on the forward copper curve on the LME. In the first quarter of 2025, copper found itself in a clear rising trend – beginning the year with a spot price of 8 700 USD/t, by the end of March it had reached 10 040 USD/t.
At the start of April the situation rapidly changed as a result of the so-called "Liberation Day" – the announcement by Donald Trump of the introduction of high import tariffs, justifying his decision by the trade deficit of the United States. The market reacted with fears of a global economic slowdown, which led to a fall in the copper price to around 8 500 USD/t several days later. Despite the initial panicked reaction of the markets, the growth trend returned and continued in the second quarter of the year.
The main factor supporting the recovery was the high demand for copper by investors exploiting the opportunity for arbitrage – the transport of copper to the USA from other parts of the world before the new tariffs took effect.
The average cash settlement price of copper in the first half of 2025 on the LME amounted to 9 431 USD/t and was 3.7% higher than in the comparable period of 2024, when it amounted on average to 9 090 USD/t.

The average price of silver according to the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) in the first half of 2025 reached the level of 32.76 USD/oz t, and was nearly 26% higher than the price of silver in the first half of 2024 (26.07 USD/oz t). The precious metals market in the first half of 2025 was impacted by depreciation of the USD as well as by the unstable geopolitical situation. Since the start of the year, the price of silver has been in a rising trend, exceeding 31 USD/oz t in January, 33 USD/oz t in February, 34 USD/oz t in March, and ending the first half at 36 USD/oz t.
In the narration of investors concerning the silver market, there continues to be a repeat of the fear of a deficit of the metal over the next several years alongside rising consumption by the industrial sector (in particular producers of photovoltaic panels) and heightened interest by both private and institutional investors.

The price of gold during the period in question rose from January to April, setting a new all-time-high on 22 April during the morning fixing at the level of 3456 USD/oz t. The gold-to-silver ratio in the first half of 2025 oscillated around 94, i.e. above the average for the last 5 years of around 80. Central banks continue to buy gold and their actions are a real support for demand for this metal. At the end of 2024 gold reached a value of around 20 percent of official global reserves, higher than the Euro (16%).
The average USD/PLN exchange rate (NBP) in the first half of 2025 amounted to 3.88 and was lower compared to the corresponding period of 2024 by nearly 3% (in the first half of 2024 the average USD/PLN exchange rate amounted to 3.99).
The Monetary Policy Council, despite the continued decrease in inflation, did not reduce interest rates in 2024, deciding on an interest rate decrease of 50 bp. no sooner than in May 2025, remaining the most hawkish bank in the region. In the first quarter of 2025, the Polish złoty continued to appreciate, supported by the global weakening of the USD, the stable macroeconomic situation in Poland and the inflow of EU funds.
The USD/PLN exchange rate in the first months of the year remained on average above 4.00, finally coming down in June to below 3.70, testing the lower bases of support. The Polish currency gained on the depreciation of the USD. Despite momentary supply pressure in January, resulting from the global rise in risk aversion, the PLN quickly returned to a rising trend.
Both in relation to the Euro and to regional currencies, the Polish złoty remained strong, confirming its relative robustness to external market shocks. The złoty is also supported by rising hope for a decrease in the intensity of the conflict in Ukraine.

The average price of molybdenum in the first half of 2025 amounted to 20.62 USD/lb, or a decrease by nearly 1% compared to the corresponding period of 2024 (20.77 USD/lb). During the period from January to May the price of molybdenum slightly fell to around 20 USD/lb, and at the end of the period in question rose to 22 USD/lb. The maximum price of molybdenum in the first half of 2025 amounted to 21.97 USD/lb, with a minimum of 19.71 USD/lb.


The average USD/CAD exchange rate (per the Bank of Canada) in the first half of 2025 amounted to 1.41 and was nearly 4% higher than the level recorded in the corresponding period of 2024 (1.36). The Canadian dollar weakened compared to the USD during the period in question. The value of the Canadian currency changed versus the USD due to the dovish monetary policy carried out by the Bank of Canada. In 2025 the Bank of Canada reduced interest rates altogether by 50 basis points, to the level of 2.75%, continuing the cycle of monetary easing policy begun in May 2024. The last reduction took place in May 2025.

The average USD/CLP exchange rate (per the Bank of Chile) in the first half of 2025 amounted to 956 and was nearly 2% higher than the level recorded in the first half of 2024 (940). The weakening of the Chilean peso was connected with a series of decisions on lowering interest rates. The Bank of Chile commenced the cycle of interest rate cuts in July 2023, coming down from the level of 11.25%. This process ended in December 2024, when interest rates were reduced from 5.25% to 5%, approaching the level of interest rates prevailing in the USA. Altogether in 2024 interest rates were reduced by 225 bp., while the FED reduced interest rates by 100 bp. in the corresponding period.

In the first half of 2025, production volume (29.2 thousand tonnes of copper) was at a similar level to that recorded in the corresponding half-year of 2024, while the copper sales volume was higher by 24% (in the first half of 2024 there were delays in the schedule of deliveries of Robinson concentrate).
The impact of individual factors on the increase in revenues is discussed in the further parts of this Report.
The cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses amounted to USD 304 million, i.e. 14% higher than the amount recorded in the first half of 2024.

The largest impact on the increase in costs came from the scope of mine access works for future mining - in the first half of 2025, there was a decrease in mining costs, which were capitalised in investments (USD 46 million versus USD 82 million in the corresponding period of 2024).

5 Includes processing premium
Despite the increase in the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses, the unit cash cost of copper sold (C1) represents a level substantially lower than that recorded in 2024. The main factor in this improvement was the increase in the amount of copper sold and the substantially higher deduction from revenues from sales of precious metals (higher volume and price).

The decrease in cash expenditures is mainly due to a lower scope of stripping work at the Robinson mine.
The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is a joint venture, whose owners are the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group (55%) and the Australian mining group South32 (45%).
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 presentation of data in the note of the consolidated financial statements concerning the operating segments.

In the first half of 2025, copper production surpassed the level recorded in the corresponding period of 2024 by 19%, mainly due to the mining of areas with higher copper content than was the case in 2024. A higher level of copper recovery was also recorded. Similar factors (higher content and recovery) led to an increase in molybdenum production.
Revenues from sales in the first half of 2025 amounted to USD 951 million (on a 100% basis), or PLN 2 027 million respectively to the 55% interest held by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

The following factors had a favourable impact on the level of costs compared to the first half of 2024:
On the other hand an increase in costs was mainly with respect to external services, depreciation/amortisation, employment and costs related to transport and logistics due to a higher sales volume of copper concentrate. As a result, cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses increased during the year by 3%, while in the case of the C1 unit cash cost of copper sold, this cost fell by nearly 41%. An additional positive impact on the C1 cost was the increase in the volume of copper sales (increase in the denominator), the increase in revenues from the sale of gold and molybdenum (higher offsets) and lower processing premiums.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2025 amounted to USD 610 million, of which proportionally to the interest held (55%) PLN 1 302 million is attributable to the KGHM Group.

The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group defines risk as the impact of uncertainty, being an integral part of the activities conducted and having the potential to result in both opportunities and threats to achievement of the business goals.
The current and future, actual and potential impact of risk on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group's activities is assessed. On the basis of the conducted assessment, management practices are reviewed and adjusted in terms of responses to risk.
The Company publishes key documents concerning risk and risk management on its website in the section Risk management, while those of only an internal nature are published through internal IT systems available to employees. Publicly-available documents on the subject of corporate risk management may also be addressed to various external stakeholder groups in terms of establishing business relationships. Operational documents developed at individual stages of the risk management process are addressed to those persons who are directly engaged in carrying out this process within the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group.
In order to unify the approach to the systematic identification, evaluation and analysis of the risk of a loss of compliance, defined as adherence to the requirements arising from existing regulations (external and internal) or from voluntarilyassumed legal obligations and standards (including ethical standards), a Compliance Management Policy for the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group together with a Procedure and Methodology for managing compliance in KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. as adopted by the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is in force. The process of managing compliance, which is connected with the process of managing corporate risk within the KGHM Group, is an important business tool for the prevention of events which could lead to the imposition of sanctions.
The Company keeps registers containing the applicable requirements resulting from identified external regulations determining the Company's regulatory situation within various aspects of its business, as well as ongoing monitoring of draft requirements located at various levels of the legislative process in areas of key importance for the Company. The identified external regulations are accompanied by a register of related internal regulations governing the Company's internal relations. The Company's approach enables systematic identification, assessment and analysis of the risk of loss of compliance or possible non-compliance with generally applicable law, internal corporate regulations and voluntarily adopted legal obligations and standards, including ethical norms, to ensure that the process produces a design and an implementation of measures ensuring compliance.
The foregoing is to ensure that the Company has current information on non-compliance, risk of non-compliance and their impact on the organisation, which ensures the creation and protection of shareholder value by establishing a consistent approach to ensuring compliance and avoiding non-compliance or non-compliance risk, as well as supports the achievement of business objectives by implementing tools to mitigate the risk of sanctions.
The compliance management process is also a valuable tool within the Company's broader management activities carried out in the area of sustainable development. The identification of external requirements creating obligations for the Company to maintain a sound approach to sustainability issues, including those relating to sustainability reporting standards, allows for understanding and adapting the Company's operations to the dynamic regulatory environment in this area.
The identification of the requirements related to the individual areas that make up the concept of ESG, i.e. environment, social responsibility and corporate governance, as well as the proper management of data acquired during various stages of the compliance management process, such as information on incidents, risk of non-compliance or discrepancies, are part of the Company's due diligence approach in conducting its business in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.
A comprehensive business continuity management system has been implemented, which enables a detailed breakdown of the scope of actions undertaken as regards managing corporate risk in terms of the risk of a catastrophic impact and low probability of occurrence. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. holds an ISO 2230-compliant Business Continuity Management System (BCMS). The System covers the Divisions of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. where the production processes comprising the core business and the Head Office are carried out. The documentation in force under the BCMS sets forth the principles and requirements to build the resilience of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. as regards catastrophic events by sorting out and unifying the current approach to management of the risk of loss of operational continuity of the core production business and preparing for unforeseen events.
The corporate risk management process adopted in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group is inspired by the solutions adopted by the ISO 31000 standard, best practice in risk management and the specific nature of the Group, and is comprised of the following steps:

Diagram 1. Corporate risk management process in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group
| STEP 1 Defining the |
The first step in the process is comprised of three actions: defining the external context, the internal context and the risk management context. |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Context | The external context is the environment in which the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group advances its Strategy. Here the definition needs to update the understanding of the social, political, legal, regulatory, financial, economic and technological aspects of the environment which affect its activities. During this step also assessed, based on the results of scenario analysis, are the most important factors for transitioning to a low-emission economy and the paths of climate change and weather models, which are processed in subsequent steps of the process. |
||||
| During the process of defining the internal context, goals are analysed (strategic/business), changes in the organisational structure are planned and performed, new areas of activities, projects, etc. |
|||||
| The last part of this step is to define the risk management context, which comprises the setting or updating of goals, the scope, responsibilities and procedures and methodologies applied in the risk management process. |
|||||
| STEP 2 Identification and Evaluation |
In this step of the process risks which could impact the achievement of goals at the level of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group are identified and evaluated. The main task in this step is to prepare a complete list of threats which could facilitate, impede, accelerate or delay the achievement of goals. Each identified risk is assigned to a category and a sub-category in the form of a Risk Model, which provides the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group with a consistent risk taxonomy. |
||||
| The following input parameters, data sources and assumptions are used as part of the identification and evaluation: |
|||||
| − results of the Context analysis; − Risk Model - a key tool in the context of ensuring that the list of risks is complete; − the results of audits and other control tasks identifying potential new risks in operational areas; − incidents that occurred in the past in connection with the identified risks, non-standard events that caused the risk to materialise and had an actual (loss or gain) or potentially positive or negative impact on the achievement of objectives; − events that may result from the materialisation of risks and their potential consequences; − ESG risk factors, − the approach of the most likely loss or gain rather than the greatest possible loss or gain when assessing risk. |
|||||
| When identified, each corporate risk is subjected to assessment using the Risk Assessment Matrix, which provides scaled assessment ranges for the scale of impact, vulnerability and probability. A risk may have various effects, and therefore in order to ensure the broadest possible recognition of potential impact and the limitation of subjective evaluation, the following Impact evaluation measures have been defined: |
| − finance – impact of the effects of a given risk in its financial aspect by applying value ranges, − strategy – evaluation of the risk's impact on the ability to achieve strategic goals, − reputation and stakeholders – impact of the risk on the Company's reputation, trust in the brand, investor relations, relations with stakeholders, also including the context of the effectiveness of actions related to building a responsible business and sustainable development, − health and safety – direct impact on health and safety and human life, − natural environment – impact of the materialisation of risk on the natural environment, the functioning of the ecosystem and the time required to restore the disturbed balance, − regulations and laws – evaluation of the compliance of events with existing laws, with the need to participate in proceedings before bodies of public administration of a supervisory and regulatory nature as well as potential sanctions as a result of such proceedings, − operational continuity – evaluation of the impact of risk on interruptions to activities resulting in significant/irreversible effects and loss of access to information important from the point of view of conducted activities. |
|
|---|---|
| The results of the identification and evaluation of risk are presented in a graphic form, i.e. Risk Maps. These provide a profile of the given risk and support the process of identifying the key risk. |

| STEP 3 Analysis and Response |
The goal of this step is to deepen knowledge and to understand the specific nature of the types of key risks identified in the previous step. Cause and effect analyses and a more substantive description of the means of dealing with risk are aimed at facilitating decision making on whether to maintain or eventually change current actions. |
| The following input parameters, data sources and assumptions are used as part of this step for the purpose of determining the risk management methods: |
|
| − results of the previous stages of the process, including the identified ESG risk factors, − a comprehensive approach that takes into account points of contact with other areas, outside the Risk Owner's area of competence, where the effects of risk materialisation may still be significant or even greater than in the Risk Owner's area, − an overview of the current approach to risk, − an analysis to identify potential gaps in the way risks are managed in order to determine the necessary Adaptation Measures. |
|
| A directional decision is called a Response to risk. A change in the approach requires specification of Corrective Actions, i.e. organisational, process, systemic and other changes aimed at reducing the level of key risks. As a consequence of decisions regarding the acceptance of actions identified in response to risks, the necessary financial, human or investment resources are provided as required. |
|
| During this step KRIs – Key Risk Indicators – are also defined, i.e. a set of business process parameters or environmental parameters which reflect changes to a given risk profile. |
|
| STEP 4 Monitoring and Communication |
The goal of this step is to ensure that the adopted Risk Response Plan is effective (ad hoc and periodic reports), new risk categories are identified (updating of the Risk Registry), changes in the internal and external environments and their impact on activities are identified, and appropriate actions are taken in response to incidents (updating of information on Incidents). |
| Effective, well-planned and properly executed risk monitoring enables flexible and quick reactions to the changes occurring in the external and internal environments (e.g. risk escalation, changes in the measures related to risk response, or risk assessment parameters, etc.). |
|
| Realisation of this step guarantees that risk management in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group fulfils the expectations of the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and other stakeholders by supplying reliable information about risk, continuous improvement and adaptation of the quality and effectiveness of Risk Response to the demands of the external and internal context. |

A comprehensive approach to risk management is consistent across the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and it was designed in such a way as to support the building of a resistant corporate structure.
Our comprehensive approach in this area is also reflected in the actions taken by KGHM in the reporting period regarding risks associated with ESG, i.e. environmental, social and corporate governance issues. The approach to the ESG risk management is further described in The Management Board's Report on the activities of the Company and the Group in 2024, in section 4.1.1 IRO -1 Description of the process of identification and assessment of significant impact, risks and opportunities and SBM-3 Material impacts, risks and opportunities and their links with the strategy and business model.
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., as part of its risk management, takes into account issues related to climate change in accordance with best practices and standards and distinguishes a category of climate risk, the significance of which is equivalent for the Company to the other categories of risk. In The Management Board's Report on the activities of the Company and the Group in 2024, in section 4.1.1 GOV-5 Risk management and internal controls over sustainability reporting, we describe in more detail our climate risk management strategy, which is one of the elements of the Company's commitment to operational excellence and its mission to act in accordance with sustainable business principles.
The Risk Model is a tool used to identify risk in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. Its structure is based on the sources of risks and is divided into the following six categories: Technological, Value Chain, Market, External, Internal and Climate. Several dozen sub-categories have been identified and defined for each of these categories, covering particular areas of the operations or management. The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group applies due diligence when undertaking actions aimed at minimising exposure to risk by lowering vulnerability to individual risk factors and reducing the probability of the materialisation of events which such factors could induce.
The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, as part of the improvement of the corporate risk management process, applies a twotrack approach consisting not only of limitation of the risk and minimisation its negative effects, but also in optimisation of the ability to accept risks and the effectiveness of the tools used and their profitability. The two-track approach is also reflected in the assessment of dual materiality performed as part of the ESG risk analysis, where both the materiality of KGHM's impact on humans and the environment, but also financial materiality, understood as the impact of climate change and sustainable development issues on KGHM, are assessed.

This category is associated with changes in competitiveness resulting from the application of industrial technology, IT, innovation management, protecting and/or managing intellectual property as well as the impact of investment projects involving productivity and technology quality, or changes in the quality and efficiency of IT infrastructure affecting business units, support functions and infrastructure.
Technology
This category is associated with changes in the operational efficiency of logistics and warehousing in the production process and in providing services, in managing sales, in managing waste and restoration as well as being correlated with the process of managing the supply chain, the availability of utilities and materials in the production process, changes in the evaluation and management of mineral deposit resources, or the advancement of research and exploration projects.

This category is associated with changes in the value of assets, the level of liabilities or profit and loss resulting in a change in the sensitivity to interest rates, currencies, liquidity, inflation rates, customer insolvency, commodities prices, energy and property rights. This category also involves changes in the impact of demand and supply on the products of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, the selection of appropriate tools to advance the marketing strategy, changes in expected rates of return on equity investments or the efficiency of transferring risk to the insurer.

This category is associated with the conditions involved in conducting activities resulting from changes in economic conditions, changes in laws and regulations (compliance), political decisions, changes in the natural environment as well as catastrophic natural events and force majeure. This category also comprises changes in market share or margins due to changes in the competitive environment or substitutes, the risk of the result of decisions in the courts or arbitration proceedings, the risk of unfavourable administrative decisions, changes in obligations, the designation of tax liabilities or their payment deadlines.
This category is associated with changes in an entity's activities affected by changes in its structure, organisation, procedures, processes or business model, as well as the risk of changes in corporate image, its products or services, the effectiveness of principles of proceedings related to ethics and anti-corruption, company's interests, or safeguards against loss of confidentiality, integrity, availability and authenticity of informational assets.
This category is associated with climate-related risk (climate risk) and its impact on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group's business activities, comprising physical risk (violent and chronic) and risk associated with transition to a low-carbon economy (regulatory, reputational, market and technological).
A detailed description of key risks of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, mitigation actions and an identification of the specific risk for the Parent Entity and the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, was presented in the Management Board's Report on the activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in 2024 in section 1.5 Risk management.
The situation as regards the war in Ukraine did not have a substantial, direct impact on the activities of the Company and Group in the first half of 2025. Detailed information on its impact and the related risks was presented in note 5.6 of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group for the first half of 2025, "Monitored areas – important issues that may affect the Group's situation".
In terms of market risk management (in particular the risk of changes in metals prices and exchange rates) of greatest significance and impact on the results of the Group are the scale and nature of the activities of the Parent Entity and the mining companies of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. The Parent Entity actively manages market risk, undertaking actions and decisions in this regard within the context of the global exposure throughout the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group.
| Commodity risk, currency risk |
In the first half of 2025, the Group was mainly exposed to the risk of the changes in the prices of metals it sells: copper and silver. Of major significance for the Parent Entity was the risk of changes in exchange rates, in particular the USD/PLN exchange rate. The Group's companies are additionally exposed to the risk of volatility in the prices of other metals. Market risk related to changes in metals prices arises from the formula for setting prices in physical metals sales contracts, which are usually based on the average monthly market prices for the relevant future month. |
|---|---|
| In accordance with the Market Risk Management Policy, in the first half of 2025 the Parent Entity continuously identified and measured market risk related to changes in metals prices, exchange rates and interest rates (analysis of the impact of market risk factors on the Parent Entity's activities – profit or loss, balance sheet, statement of cash flows), and also analysed the metals, currencies and interest rates markets. These analyses, along with assessment of the internal situation of the Parent Entity and the Group, represented the basis for taking decisions on the application of hedging strategies on the metals, currency and interest rates markets. |
|
| Disclosures regarding the management of the risk of changes in metal prices and exchange rates in the first half of 2025 in the Parent Entity and in the Group are presented in note 4.4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
|
| Interest rate risk | As at 30 June 2025, the balance of items exposed to interest rate risk by impacting the amount of interest income and costs was as follows: |
| − cash and cash equivalents: PLN 424 million, − borrowings: PLN 3 890 million. |
|
| As at 30 June 2025, the balance of items exposed to interest rate risk due to changes in the fair value of instruments with fixed interest rates was as follows: |
|
| − receivables due to loans granted by the Group: PLN 21 million, − borrowings (i.e. bank and other loans drawn with fixed interest rates): PLN 1 225 million. |
|
| In the first half of 2025, the Parent Entity did not implement any transactions hedging against the risk of changes in interest rates. As at 30 June 2025, it held open CIRS (Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap) transactions for the notional amount of PLN 1.6 billion, hedging both revenues from sales in terms of currency as well as in terms of the variable interest rate of the issued bonds. |
|
| Result on derivatives and hedging transactions |
The total impact of derivatives and hedging instruments (transactions on the copper, silver, currency and interest rate markets as well as embedded derivatives and a loan in USD designated as a hedge against a change in the exchange rate) on the Group's profit or loss for the first half of 2025 amounted to -PLN 46 million, of which: |
| − PLN 60 million increased revenues from contracts with customers, − PLN 104 million decreased the result on other operating activities, − PLN 2 million decreased the financial result. |
|
| Moreover, in the first half of 2025, gains from the settlement of the bond interest rate hedging instrument (CIRS) in the amount of PLN 30 million were recognised in the statement of financial position – non-current assets. Meanwhile, other comprehensive income was increased by PLN 189 million (impact of hedging instruments; increase from PLN 78 million to PLN 267 million). |
|
| As at 30 June 2025, the fair value of open transactions in derivatives of the Group (on the metals, currency and interest rate markets and in embedded derivatives) amounted to PLN 352 million. |
|
| Risk of changes in prices of energy and energy carriers |
In terms of management of market risk arising from changes in prices of energy and energy carriers, the scale and profile of operations of the Parent Entity have the greatest significance and impact on the results of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. It represents a commodity risk for the Parent Entity, which is measured based on its impact on cash flows. |
| Commodity price risk management for planned purchases of electricity and gaseous fuel involves managing the exposure to the risk of changes in the price of electricity and gaseous fuel over a time horizon of up to 36 consecutive months resulting from energy and gas purchase plans, less previously-concluded purchase contracts with delivery in future periods. |
|
| Detailed disclosures regarding the risk of changes in energy and energy carrier prices in the first half of 2025 in the Parent Entity are presented in note 4.4 of the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements. |
|
| Price risk related to changes in the share prices of listed companies |
Price risk related to the shares of listed companies held by the Group is understood as the change in their fair value due to changes in their quoted share prices. As at 30 June 2025, the carrying amount of shares of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and on the TSX Venture Exchange amounted to PLN 1 563 million. |
Credit risk is defined as the risk that counterparties will not be able to meet their contractual liabilities.
The Management Board is responsible for credit risk management in the Parent Entity and for compliance with policy in this regard. The main body involved in actions in this area is the Credit Risk Committee.
In the first half of 2025, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group was exposed to credit risk mainly in four areas.
| Credit risk related to trade receivables |
To reduce the risk of insolvency by its customers, the Parent Entity has a receivables insurance contract which covers receivables from entities with buyer's credit which have not provided strong collateral or have provided collateral which does not cover the total amount of the receivables. Taking into account the collaterals held and the credit limits granted by the insurance company, as at 30 June 2025 the Parent Entity had secured 81% of its trade receivables (as at 31 December 2024, 80%). |
|---|---|
| Credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits |
The Group allocates periodically free cash in accordance with the requirements to maintain financial liquidity and limit risk and in order to protect capital and maximise interest income. |
| Credit risk related to deposit transactions is continuously monitored by the review of the credit ratings of financial institutions with which the Group cooperates, and by limitation of the level of concentration in individual institutions. As at 30 June 2025, the maximum share of a single entity in terms of credit risk arising from funds of the Group deposited in financial institutions amounted to 22% (as at 31 December 2024, 35%). |
|
| Credit risk related to derivatives transactions |
All of the entities with which the Group enters into derivatives transactions (with the exception of embedded derivatives) operate in the financial sector. These are mainly financial institutions with a medium-high rating. According to fair value as at 30 June 2025, the maximum share of a single entity with respect to credit risk arising from open derivative transactions entered into by the Group and from net receivables due to settled derivatives amounted to 15% (as at 31 December 2024, 29%). Due to diversification of risk in terms both of the nature and of their geographical location of risk, as well as taking into consideration the ongoing monitoring of the rating of financial institutions with which it cooperates, the Group is not materially exposed to credit risk as a result of the derivative transactions entered into. |
| Credit risk related to loans granted |
As at 30 June 2025, the balance of loans granted by the Parent Entity amounted to 8 442 PLN million. The most important positions are long-term loans in the total amount of PLN 8 277 million granted to the company Future 1 sp. z o.o. and to the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group. |
| As at 30 June 2025, the balance of loans granted by the Group amounted to PLN 8 684 million. The most important of these are short-term and long-term loans in the total amount of PLN 8 663 million, i.e. USD 2 395 million granted by the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group for the financing of a mining joint venture in Chile. |
|
| The loans granted in connection with the financing of a mining joint venture in Chile are subordinated to liabilities due to a loan in the amount of up to USD 500 million received by Sierra Gorda S.C.M. from a banks syndicate. In order to guarantee the subordinating of owner loans to the debt granted by the banks syndicate, a Subordination Agreement was entered into. Under this Agreement, there exists the possibility to repay the owner loans by the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M., which is contingent on the acceptance of the banks syndicate following the fulfilment of strictly-defined parameters in the Subordination Agreement. |
|
| Credit risk related to the loans granted to the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is dependent on the risk related to mine project advancement and is assessed by the Management Board of the Parent Entity as moderate. |
Important information regarding financial liquidity risk and capital management is presented in part 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The most significant factors affecting the results achieved by the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, through the Parent Entity, including in particular over the following quarter, may be:
The most significant factors affecting the results achieved by the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group through the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, including in particular over the following quarter, may be:
The above may affect the results of the Group in subsequent quarters. However, it is not possible to present quantitative estimates of the potential impact of current conditions on the results of the Group. To date, there has not yet been recorded a substantial negative impact of the aforementioned factors on the continuity of production of the Core Business, on sales or on the continuity of the supply chain for materials and services.
The Parent Entity continues to monitor the global economic situation, in order to assess its potentially negative impact on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and to undertake pre-emptive actions to mitigate this impact.
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. does not publish forecasts of financial results.
In the first half of 2025, and up to the date of preparation of this report, one contract significant for the activities of the Parent Entity and the Group was entered into:
Wire rod sales agreement with Tele-Fonika Kable S.A. On 3 June 2025 KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. entered into an agreement with Tele-Fonika Kable S.A. for the supply of copper wire rod in the years 2026-2030. The estimated value of sales based on copper price and exchange rate forecasts ranges from PLN 6.9 billion to a maximum of PLN 9.7 billion.
The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group has implemented a variety of internal rules and regulations regulating the principles under which contracts between the Group's entities may be entered into, including:
Acting in compliance with the aforementioned rules and regulations, during the first half of 2025 neither the Parent Entity nor its subsidiaries entered into significant transactions with related parties under other than arm's length conditions.
Average employment in KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in the first half of 2025 was slightly higher than in the corresponding period of 2024. This increase in employment was caused by the need to fill additional positions in mines as a result of infrastructure development and employment of additional employees in the area of cybersecurity.
Employment as at 30 June 2025 amounted to 18 895 persons and was 0.3% higher than the level of employment at the end of the corresponding period of 2024.
| 1st half 2025 | 1st half 2024 | Change (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mines | 12 700 | 12 629 | +0.6 |

| Other divisions | 2 624 | 2 590 | +1.3 |
| KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. | 18 953 | 18 842 | +0.6 |
In the first half of 2025, 35 458 people were employed in the Group, or an increase as compared to the first half of 2024 by 1%. The employment structure is shown below:
| 1st half 2025 | 1st half 2024 | Change (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. | 18 953 | 18 842 | +0.6 |

9 Value of contracts based on metals prices and exchange rates estimated as at the date of signing of a given contract 10 Sierra Gorda S.C.M. – employment proportional to share in the company (55%)

In the first half of 2025, as compared to the first half of 2024, average employment in the companies of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in Poland increased by 56 positions (i.e. by 0.4%). This increase was mainly in white collar positions.
Compared to the first half of 2024, average employment in the reporting period in the companies of the KGHM International Ltd. Group increased by 125 positions, or an increase of 4.7%. Despite the disposal at the end of February 2025 of operating assets in the Sudbury Basin in Canada (McCreedy West, Levack, Podolsky), which led to a reduction in employment in the company FNX Mining Company Inc., in the remaining entities of the Group an increase in employment was recorded. The main factor responsible for this increase was the start of new projects carried out by DMC Mining Services in Chile, which led to an increased need for staff. Moreover, the increase in average employment results from the successive filling of budgeted positions in the companies of the KGHM International Ltd. Group.
In the first half of 2025, compared to the corresponding period of 2024, average employment in the company Sierra Gorda S.C.M. rose by 59 positions, or an increase by 6.5%. This change was due to the employment of workers for a specified time period under operating and development projects being advanced, as well as to the filling of vacancies.

Proceedings regarding royalties for use of invention project no. 1/97/KGHM "Method for increasing the production capacity of the electrorefining sections of the Metallurgical Plants"
In the claim dated 26 September 2007, the 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) (the "Project") for the 8th calculation period (2006). The amount of the claim (principal amount ) was determined by the Plaintiffs in the statement of claim in the amount of approximately PLN 42 million (principal amount excluding claimed interest and court costs). In its response to the statement of claim of 21 January 2008, the Company requested that the claim be dismissed in its entirety and filed a counterclaim for the reimbursement of unduly paid remuneration for the sixth and seventh years of application of the Project (2004 and 2005), also raising a possible plea of set-off of the mutually asserted claims. The amount of the claim (principal amount excluding claimed interest and court costs) in the counterclaim was determined by the Company in the amount of approximately PLN 25 million.
In the judgement of 25 September 2018, the Regional Court in Legnica dismissed the counterclaim 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 approx. PLN 54 million. Both parties to the proceedings appealed against this judgement.
In the judgement of 12 June 2019, the Court of Appeals in Wrocław dismissed the appeals of both parties, changing the judgement of the court of first instance only with regard to the decision on the costs of the main action, charging them to KGHM. The judgements are binding and were executed by KGHM on 18-19 June 2019. As a result of the execution of liabilities there is no basis for the recognition of provisions for liabilities. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. filed a cassation appeal against the judgement of the court of second instance with respect to the partially upheld principal claim in the amount of approx. PLN 24 million as well as with respect to the dismissed counter-claim in the amount of approx. PLN 25 million. The plaintiffs did not file a cassation appeal with respect to the dismissed portion of the main claim.
In a judgement dated 24 November 2022 the Supreme Court overturned the disputed judgement and ordered the case to be reheard by the Court of Appeal in Wrocław. In a preparatory letter dated 5 May 2023, KGHM requested the return of the liabilities paid by KGHM to the plaintiffs of the claim, justified by the judgement of the court of first instance and amended as regards the costs of the judgement of the court of second instance (petition for restitution).
In its judgement of 4 December 2024, the Court of Appeals in Wrocław again dismissed KGHM's appeal and the Company's petition for restitution, set-off the costs of the appeal and cassation proceedings between the parties and partially amended the decision regarding the costs of the main claim for the first instance. By a cassation appeal dated 14 March 2025, KGHM filed a claim against the Court of Appeals in Wrocław in its entirety.
As at 30 June 2025, the share capital of the Company, in accordance with the entry in the National Court Register, amounted to PLN 2 000 million and was divided into 200 million shares, series A, having a face value of PLN 10 each.
