3.2 Consolidated statement of comprehensive income

The GPW Group generated a consolidated net profit of PLN 108.8 million in H1 2025. The year-on-year increase of PLN 33.4 million i.e. +44.2% was driven mainly by an increase of sales revenue by PLN 37.3 million and the share of profit of entities measured by the equity method by PLN 4.3 million owing to higher profits of the KDPW Group, combined with a decrease in financial expenses by PLN 2.0 million year-on-year. In addition, the growth rate of operating expenses was much lower than the growth rate of revenue. Additionally, the growth rate of operating costs was significantly lower than the growth rate of revenues.

Operating profit was PLN 98.9 million (+PLN 33.0 million i.e. +50.0% year-on-year). Its level was primarily influenced by an increase in sales revenue, which reached PLN 276.4 million after the first half of 2025 (PLN 239.1 million in the same period of 2024, i.e. +PLN 37.3 million, i.e. +15.6%). At the same time, operating costs increased to PLN 177.6 million (+PLN 11.2 million, i.e. +6.7%). Furthermore, the higher dynamics of operating profit in the reporting period was influenced by the fact that impairment losses of PLN 5.8 million were recognized in the comparative period. Consequently, a significant decrease in other costs was recorded – to PLN 2.2 million (-PLN 5.6 million, i.e. -72.2% compared to the first six months of 2024). EBITDA amounted to PLN 117.1 million (+PLN 35.8 million i.e. +44.0% year-on-year).

The Group's revenue from trading in electricity amounted to PLN 12.5 million in 6M 2025 (-PLN 0.8 million i.e. -6.0% yearon-year). The total volume of trading on the energy market operated by TGE was 58.4 TWh in 6M 2025 (-3.6 TWh i.e. - 5.8% year-on-year). The decrease in electricity trading in January-June 2025 was mainly driven by a decrease of forward trade volumes by 10.2% to 33.5 TWh. The volumes decreased mainly as a result of the lower popularity of annual contracts notwithstanding slightly higher liquidity of instruments with shorter deliveries.

The Group's revenue from trading in gas amounted to PLN 11.8 million in 6M 2025 (+PLN 4.0 million i.e. +51.2% year-onyear). The volume of trading in natural gas on TGE increased by 51.0% year-on-year to 100.6 TWh in 6M 2025. The yearon-year increase in gas trading volumes was reported both on the forward market and the spot market, driving an increase of revenues from trading in gas. Higher trading volumes on the forward gas market were mainly driven by increased longterm contracting (annual and quarterly contracts), while the increase on the spot market was driven by rising consumption of gas and relatively low contracting on the forward market for deliveries over this period.

The Group's revenue from trading in property rights in certificates of origin amounted to PLN 10.3 million in 6M 2025 (+PLN 0.2 million i.e. +1.7% year-on-year). The volume of trading in property rights in certificates of origin was 9.9 TWh in 6M 2025 (+0.2 TWh i.e. +1.9% year-on-year). The volume of trading in rights in energy efficiency was 68,176 toe, a decrease of 0.6% year-on-year.

Revenue of the Group from other fees paid by commodity market participants amounted to PLN 14.7 million in 6M 2025 (+PLN 3.4 million i.e. +29.5% year-on-year). Other fees paid by commodity market participants included fees paid by TGE market participants at PLN 6.3 million, revenue of InfoEngine as a trade operator at PLN 3.6 million, and revenue of IRGiT at PLN 4.9 million in 6M 2025. The year-on-year increase in other fees paid by commodity market participants in 6M 2025 was mainly driven by growth in revenue from the management of assets of the IRGiT collateral system and a significant increase in revenue in InfoEngine's core business.

Revenue from the operation of the Register of Certificates of Origin and Register of Guarantees of Origin amounted to PLN 10.9 million in 6M 2025 (-PLN 1.7 million i.e. -13.7% year-on-year). The decrease in revenue is related to the RES property rights segment, mainly due to a decline in the volume of redemptions as a result of the reduced redemption obligation for green certificates.

The structure of the Group's statement of financial position is very stable: equity had a predominant share in the Group's sources of financing as at 30 June 2025 and as at 30 June 2024. The company's net working capital, equal to the surplus of current assets over current liabilities or the surplus of non-current capital over non-current assets, was positive at PLN 300.2 million as at 30 June 2025 (-PLN 62.3 million i.e. -17.2% year to date and +PLN 0.4 million i.e. +0.1% year-on-year).

The balance-sheet total of the Group was PLN 1,446.0 million as at 30 June 2025, representing an increase of PLN 172.6 million (+13.6%) year to date and an increase of PLN 42.5 million i.e. +3.0% year-on-year.

Non-current assets amounted to PLN 840.7 million as at 30 June 2025 (+PLN 32.8 million i.e. +4.1% year to date and +PLN 46.0 million i.e. +5.8% year-on-year) representing 58.1% of total assets as at 30 June 2025 compared to 63.4% as at 31 December 2024 and 56.6% as at 30 June 2024. The increase in non-current assets in H1 2025 was driven by the investment in entities measured by the equity method, an increase in deferred tax, and the purchase and modernisation of intangible assets.

Current assets amounted to PLN 605.3 million as at 30 June 2025 (+PLN 139.8 million i.e. +30.0% year to date and -PLN 3.5 million i.e. -0.6% year-on-year) representing 41.9% of total assets as at 30 June 2025 compared to 36.6% as at 31

December 2024 and 43.4% as at 30 June 2024. The increase of current assets year to date was mainly driven by an increase of cash and cash equivalents by PLN 186.9 million.

Equity amounted to PLN 1,052.0 million as at 30 June 2025 (-PLN 23.3 million i.e. -2.2% year to date and +PLN 50.6 million i.e. +5.1% year-on-year) representing 72.8% of the Group's total equity and liabilities as at 30 June 2025 compared to 84.4% as at 31 December 2024 and 71.3% as at 30 June 2024. Non-controlling interests decreased modestly and amounted to PLN 9.0 million as at 30 June 2025 but remained stable year to date.

Non-current liabilities amounted to PLN 89.0 million as at 30 June 2025 (-PLN 6.3 million i.e. -6.6% year to date and -PLN 4.3 million i.e. -4.6% year-on-year) representing 6.2% of total equity and liabilities as at 30 June 2025 compared to 7.5% as at 31 December 2024 and 6.6% as at 30 June 2024.

The biggest line of non-current liabilities is deferred income. Deferred income mainly includes payments under grants received for projects at PLN 35.8 million (-PLN 1.8 million i.e. -5.0% year to date). For more information on grants, see the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 3.7 and Note 6.4.

Current liabilities amounted to PLN 305.1 million as at 30 June 2025 (+PLN 202.1 million i.e. +196.3% year to date and - PLN 3.9 million i.e. -1.3% year-on-year) representing 21.1% of total equity and liabilities as at 30 June 2025 compared to 8.1% as at 31 December 2024 and 22.0% as at 30 June 2024. The year-to-date increase of current liabilities was driven by the recognition of a dividend liability at PLN 132.4 million.

The Group generated positive cash flows from operating activities at PLN 135.1 million in 6M 2025 (+PLN 40.5 million i.e. +42.8 % year-on-year).

Cash flows from investing activities were positive at PLN 56.3 million vs. positive cash flows at PLN 49.7 million in H1 2024. The positive cash flows in H1 2025 were mainly driven by a surplus of maturing bank deposits and bonds over investments in bank deposits and bonds.

The Group's capital expenditure amounted to PLN 333.2 million in 6M 2025, including mainly investment in bank deposits and bonds at PLN 292.8 million (PLN 241.8 million in 6M 2024) followed by expenditure for property, plant and equipment at PLN 16.2 million (PLN 4.7 million in 6M 2024) and expenditure for intangible assets at PLN 24.1 million (PLN 21.7 million in 6M 2024). Expenditure for property, plant and equipment and expenditure for intangible assets was related to the implementation of strategic projects in the period ended 30 June 2025 and in the period ended 30 June 2024.

Cash flows from financing activities were negative at PLN 4.2 million, compared to negative PLN 4.1 million in 6M 2024, and were driven by lease fees.

Net debt = interest-bearing liabilities less liquid assets (as at the balance-sheet date)

Liquid assets = financial assets measured at amortised cost and other financial assets + cash and cash equivalents

EBITDA = GPW Group operating profit plus depreciation/amortisation (for 6 months, net of the share of profit/loss of associates)

Debt to equity ratio = interest-bearing liabilities / equity (as at the balance-sheet date)

Current liquidity = current assets / current liabilities (as at the balance-sheet date)

Coverage ratio of interest costs on the bond issue = EBITDA / interest cost on bonds (interest paid and accrued for a 6-month period)

EBITDA margin = EBITDA / GPW Group sales revenue (for a 6-month period)

Operating profit margin = operating profit / GPW Group sales revenue (for a 6-month period)

Net profit margin = net profit / GPW Group sales revenue (for a 6-month period)

Cost / income = GPW Group operating expenses / GPW Group sales revenue (for a 6-month period)

Net debt to EBITDA was negative as at 30 June 2025 as liquid assets significantly exceeded interest-bearing liabilities. The debt to equity ratio decreased due to a decrease of interest-bearing liabilities and an increase in equity.

The current financial liquidity ratio was the same as in the same period last year, which was a result of a similar level of short-term assets and short-term liabilities.

The EBITDA margin increased sharply year-on-year due to a higher increase of sales revenue (+15.6%) in relation to the increase of expenses (+6.7%). The operating profit margin and the net profit margin also increased as a result of a significant increase of the Group's operating profit year-on-year. For the same reasons, he cost/income ratio decreased year-on-year. ROE and ROA increased year-on-year as the increase in net profit was greater than the increase in average equity and average assets.

4. Seasonality and cyclicity of operations

4.1 Trading on the financial market

Share prices and trading value are significantly influenced by local, regional, and global trends impacting the capital markets, which determines the number and size of new issues of financial instruments and the activity of investors on GPW. As a result, the revenue of the Group is cyclical, but there is no typical seasonality in this market.

4.2 Trading on the commodity market

Trading in certificates of origin on TGE is subject to seasonality. The volume of trading on the property rights market operated by TGE and the activity of participants of the Register of Certificates of Origin are largely determined by the obligation imposed on energy companies which sell electricity to final consumers and have to cancel a certain quantity of certificates of origin in relation to the volume of electricity sold in the preceding year. The percentage of certificates of origin which must be cancelled is fixed for every year in laws and regulations of the Minister of Climate.

According to the Energy Law, the obligation has to be performed until 30 June (of each year in relation of electricity sold in the preceding year). As a result, trading in the first half of the year is relatively higher than in the second half of the year.

Trade in electricity on the Commodity Forward Instruments Market operated by TGE is not spread equally throughout the year. It is seasonal in that it depends on hedging strategies of large market players and it is typically lower in H1. However, seasonality may be distorted because the strategies of market players also depend on the financial standing of companies, regulatory changes, and current energy and gas prices.

5. Unusual factors and events impacting the GPW Group's results in Q2 2025

The Group does not identify any significant factors or unusual events that would affect the GPW Group's result for the first 6 months of 2025.

6. Unusual factors and events impacting the results in at least the next quarter

6.1 Main threats and risks

The operation of the GPW Group is exposed to external risks related to the market, legal, and regulatory environment, as well as internal risks related to operating activities. With a view to its strategic objectives, the GPW Group actively manages its business risks in order to mitigate or eliminate their potential adverse impact on the Group's results.

Detailed information on the risks listed is provided in the Management Board Report on the Activity of the Parent Company and the Group of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A. for 2024, Note 4 Risk Management. Supplementary information is provided below.

The Group considers the following risks in each category to be objectively the most material; however, the order in which they are presented does not reflect the materiality or scale of their impact on the activity of the Group. Additional risks, which are currently not identified or are considered to be immaterial, may in the future have an adverse impact on the activity of the Group, its financial standing and business results.

Business risk:

  • Risks of the geopolitical and economic situation globally
  • Risk of the economic situation in Poland
  • Risk of concentration of trade and dependence of a large part of the Group's sales revenue on trade in shares of a limited number of issuers and trade in futures by a limited number of Exchange Members
  • Risk of failure to implement the Group's strategy
  • Risk of concentration of trade due to dependence of a large part of the Group's revenue from derivatives on trade in WIG20 futures
  • Risk of concentration of trading in the conditional transactions segment of the TBSP market
  • Risk of termination of TBSP's reference market status
  • Risk of doing business in the sector of exchanges and alternative trading platforms
  • Risk of price competition
  • Risk of technological changes

  • Risk of provision of capital market indices and benchmarks3
  • Geopolitical and business risks related to the operation of the Armenia Securities Exchange
  • Risk of OFEs having to sell off assets listed on GPW to provide liquidity required by the "safety slider" mechanism

  • Liquidity risk

Risk of OFEs having to sell off assets listed on GPW to provide liquidity required by the "safety slider" mechanism

The assets of Open-ended Pension Funds (OFE) are overwhelmingly invested in shares listed on the domestic regulated market. Given the regulations in force and the unfavourable demographic mix of fund members, the negative flows between OFEs and ZUS (Social Security Institution) are steadily increasing.

6.2 External factors

Impact of the armed conflict in Ukraine on the GPW Group's business

The GPW Group took into account the recommendations of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority of 25 February 2022 addressed to issuers in connection with the political and economic situation in Ukraine and the introduction of the CRP alert level in Poland by the Prime Minister. Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, the GPW Group identifies the following risks to its operations:

• Risk of withdrawal of funds by investors

4 The Group no longer identifies operational risk related to the outsourcing of certain services.

3 This risk includes the Risk associated with the development of the WIBID and WIBOR Reference Rates and the Risk associated with the development of the WIRON Index and the WIRON Composite Index Family.

  • Risks associated with an above-average load on the trading system
  • Risk of money laundering or terrorist financing and risk of breach of sanctions
  • Risk of increased cyber threats
  • Risk of bankruptcy or deterioration of transparency of companies participating in the WIG-Ukraine index
  • Risk of loss of representativeness of indices that include Ukrainian companies
  • Risk of obstruction of gas supplies to Poland

GPW and its subsidiaries are monitoring the situation relating to the war in Ukraine on an ongoing basis and taking measures to manage business continuity.

The war risks are described extensively in the Management Board Report on the Activity of the Parent Company and the Group of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A. for 2024, Note 4.2.2.

Other factors which may impact the GPW Group's results in the coming quarters

  • The manufacturing business cycle as measured, among others, by the PMI. Any time the PMI falls below 50 points, it would mean a contraction in manufacturing activity. This would result in companies being more cautious about capital expenditure and expansion plans, which would lead to a languishing market for equity offerings (IPOs/SPOs). In addition, shares of listed companies, especially those in the manufacturing segment, would be under pressure on valuations if global/regional factors (financing costs/geopolitical tensions) further exacerbated the sentiment.
  • A decline, particularly a sudden drop, in TFI assets invested in equity/mixed funds could be perceived by the market as a signal to start a wider wave of redemptions, which could lead to a snowball effect: rising redemptions force an accelerated sell-off of shares, which in turn leads to further price declines and liquidity deterioration. The result can be sharp fluctuations in valuations, reduced investor confidence, and problems in restoring the demand/supply balance in the market.
  • Net inflows into PPK defined-date funds are successively increasing the pool of capital invested in exchangetraded instruments. However, it is important to make efforts (including legislative efforts) to diversify demand streams. If the growth rate of PPK assets slows down (e.g. through lower employee participation, poorer market performance or regulatory changes), the market may suffer from a lack of a stable, long-term purchase stream.
  • Legislative changes.

6.3 Internal factors

Internal factors and activities which may impact the GPW Group's results in the coming quarters include:

  • expanding the range of investment products
  • continuing cost optimisation and improving operational efficiency,
  • development of technology platforms to support GPW Group operations.
