Letter to the shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
We are pleased to announce the results of AmRest Group achieved in 2017, yet another successful year in our history. Similar to the previous years, we continued dynamic and diversified business growth and made significant steps towards our long-term vision of becoming the #1 ranked restaurant operator in Europe.
Last year our revenues grew by 25% and margins improved in most of our major markets on the back of favorable consumer trends, strengthened position of our brands, accelerated organic growth and M&A activities. Our core business (without M&As) once again delivered on the 20% EBITDA growth target, ranking us among the fastest growing restaurant businesses in Europe. While maintaining the balanced business growth, we continued our efforts to double the company in size within three years, through the enhancement of our core business, M&A activities and investment in the digital business segment.
As indicated before, we have accelerated the pace of organic expansion and opened 210 new restaurants in 2017 (versus 146 in the year before). In addition to the dynamic growth of KFC and La Tagliatella, we increased our investments into Starbucks and Pizza Hut. We are particularly happy about the successful launch of Pizza Hut Express format, enabling significant growth potential for the brand. Today, Pizza Hut Express is already present in four our markets and its further development will be additionally supported by the master-franchise rights for Central Europe, Germany and France.
Looking ahead, our ambition is to accelerate development of our restaurant portfolio as we see a great potential in the current markets of our operations. Solid performance of new openings, improved site selection process and increased effectiveness of capital allocation make us confident to target 300 openings in 2018.
Our diversified growth platform creates new development opportunities and last year we reached several important milestones in this respect. In 2017 AmRest entered three new markets by opening its first KFC locations in Austria and Slovakia, as well as the first La Tagliatella in Portugal. In the meantime, we continued the expansion of our brands in existing markets. Our first Pizza Hut restaurants were opened in the Czech Republic and we also introduced Blue Frog in Europe opening first locations in Spain and Poland. Such a dynamic expansion across the board would not be possible without our strong and effective local teams.
Last year we were also very active in M&A, successfully closing an unprecedented number of nine transactions, mostly within KFC and Pizza Hut brands in Germany, France and Russia. With the addition of 250+ restaurants, we strengthened the position of these brands in our portfolio and increased our exposure to prospective markets of Western Europe. We are convinced that the successful integration and turnaround of those acquired businesses will be a major step on the way to become a leading restaurant operator in Europe.
Recently, the restaurant industry has been heavily impacted by the rapid development of new technologies. Encouraged by these market trends, AmRest continued its investments in Digital, enhancing existing mobile platforms with innovative functions enabling closer interaction with customers. Additionally, through a strategic partnership with Delivery Hero we became a majority shareholder in the online food ordering platform (Pizzaportal.pl) and signed operating agreements for Czech Republic and Hungary. Given the very dynamic growth of our delivery business (in Poland over 30% increase in 2017) and the fact that most of our delivery orders go through digital channels, we are very excited about this partnership. In our opinion, it will significantly enhance the quality of service for our customers and contribute to the future value creation for our shareholders.
This year we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of AmRest. Our long and successful journey, which started with the opening of a single Pizza Hut in Wrocław, has been a showcase of the 'Anything is possible' culture. Today, as a multi-brand restaurant operator, with 1650+ locations across 16 countries, we feel that there is still much more growth ahead of us. Being excited about the future opportunities, we are also fully aware of development and integration challenges. Nevertheless, equipped with the 25-year experience in running restaurant business as well
as great commitment of thousands of AmRest Employees, we are confident about our ability to continue this successful journey.
We would like to use this opportunity and thank all our Employees for their passion and devotion in growing the business. Their enormous positive energy fuels our unique organization culture and makes AmRest such a great company.

2. Description of the Company
2.1. Basic services provided by the Group
As at the date of publication of the report, AmRest Holdings SE ("AmRest") manages 7 restaurant brands in 16 countries of Europe and Asia. Every day over 37 thousand AmRest employees deliver delicious taste and exceptional service at affordable prices, in accordance with our "Wszystko Jest Możliwe!" ("Everything is possible!") culture.
As at March 8th, 2018, AmRest manages 1 647 restaurants in two restaurant sectors: Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) – KFC, Burger King, Starbucks, Pizza Hut Delivery and Express and Casual Dining Restaurants (CDR), restaurants with full waiting service – Pizza Hut, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and KABB.
AmRest restaurants provide on-site catering services, take away services, drive-in services at special sales points ("Drive Thru"), and deliveries for orders placed online or by telephone. AmRest restaurant menus include brand dishes prepared from fresh products in accordance with original recipes and with KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and KABB chain standards.
AmRest is a franchisee of Yum! Brands Inc. for the KFC and Pizza Hut brands. Starting from October 1st, 2016 the Company as a master-franchisee has the right to granting the license to the third parties to operate Pizza Hut Express and Pizza Hut Delivery restaurants (sub-franchise) in countries of Central and Eastern Europe, while ensuring a certain share of restaurants operated directly by AmRest. Pizza Hut restaurants acquired in France in May 2017 and in Germany in July 2017 are operated both, by AmRest and its sub-franchisees.
Burger King restaurants operate on a franchise basis following an agreement concluded with Burger King Europe GmbH.
Starbucks restaurants in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary are opened by joint-venture companies AmRest Coffee (82% AmRest and 18% Starbucks), which have the rights and licenses to develop and manage Starbucks restaurants. Starbucks stores in Romania and Bulgaria (acquired from Marinopoulos Coffee SEE B.V. in June 2015), Germany (acquired from Starbucks Coffee EMEA B.V. in May 2016) and in Slovakia are operated by the Company on a franchise basis.
La Tagliatella is the own brand of AmRest which became part of the portfolio in April 2011. La Tagliatella restaurants are operated both by AmRest and by entities which operate restaurants on a franchise basis.
Blue Frog and KABB brands became the property of AmRest in December 2012 as a result of purchase of a majority stake in Blue Horizon Hospitality Group LTD.
On March 31st AmRest signed the Investment Agreement with Delivery Hero GmbH and Restaurant Partner Polska ("RPP"). As a result of the agreement AmRest acquired 51% of shares in RPP becoming its majority shareholder. RPP operates PizzaPortal.pl platform - an aggregator collecting offers from 2,500+ different restaurants in ca. 400 cities in Poland, which allows online meals ordering with delivery.
2.2. Restaurants in the Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) segment

Established in 1952, KFC brand is the biggest, fastest growing and most popular chain of quick service restaurants serving chicken meals. There are almost 20 000 KFC restaurants in 120 countries in the world.
Last year was one of the most dynamic period in the history of KFC restaurants run by AmRest. It was the result of the sales and profitability improvement on the existing markets, but also the effect
of the acquisition of KFC business in Germany and France. In 2017 AmRest opened the first KFC restaurants in
Austria and Slovenia. As at the end of last year there were 669 KFC restaurants in AmRest's portfolio, which is 150 more than last year.
The strong dynamics of growth in Central Europe was maintained for all the year. This growth was a result of a continuous realization of the strategy related to the improvement of a general image of the restaurants, the quality of customer service and numerous innovations concerning the product. The brand maintained its strong position in the home delivery channel . Simultaneously, this service was introduced to many new restaurants and to Czech and Hungarian market, which very well-received by our Guests. KFC strengthened its position in "value" segment too – both in case of the basic menu which is B-Smart and others unique products. Among many others new products we rolled out premium burgers and… Also worthy of note is Shake De Lux's innovations…Restaurants
in Poland and Hungary introduced the breakfast offer, which is the perfect complement to the KFC's firm menu. KFC Poland launched in some restaurants the "Skip the line" option, which gives the customers a possibility to order a meal without waiting through the KFC application. In the next few years we can expect even more brand's activities in the new technologies sphere. Costs of work increased on the most of Central Europe's markets and, according to the experts, this trend will retain for the next years. At the same time a visible improvement in the remaining cost areas was observed what allowed to improve the margin significantly so it exceeded the initial assumptions.

The results on the Russian market were very good in 2017 despite the demanding macroeconomic situation in this country. Thanks to the consistently executed strategy of building the brand's strategy, product innovations and the offer in the "value" segment, the income in comparable restaurants noted a strong one digit increase in 2017. Due to the big effort put into strengthening operational processes, KFC brand in Russia has significantly improved their margin. The acquiring of KFC business in new for AmRest region in Russia (Krasnodar) was very successful and newly opened restaurants have delivered satisfying financial result. In selected KFC stores the home delivery service has been introduced, which will be for sure implemented step by step in large scale. What is more, some restaurants have been equipped with self-order kiosks, which was very well-received by our Guests.
KFC restaurants operating in Spain have noted the sales improvement in comparison to the last year, which was the result of introducing and promoting products from the "value" segment. Last year AmRest acquired 3 restaurants, earlier possessed by YUM, and opened 7 new spots, which performances in accordance with expectations. The home delivery service is also currently tested in selected restaurants on Spanish market.
Newly acquired KFC restaurants in Western Europe (Germany, France) are now during the integration with the rest of AmRest businesses. On that stage the process is conducted in keeping with the Management Board's expectations.

In 2017 the brand was very actively engaged in the "Harvest" project, aiming working against food wasting and cooperating with local food banks. Thanks to that project more than 500 thousands meals were given to the most needy people. For now, the project is realised mainly in Poland, to a lesser degree on others selected markets. AmRest's KFC brand is also very active in the workers' commitment segment - both concerning social issues and new-products development. For the second time in a row we organized the "Colonel's Kitchen" contest giving our workers the possibility to invent new products, which may appear in the future menu in our restaurants. This activity is very popular
among AmRest's workers and will be continued in nest years.
At the date of the publication of this report AmRest runs 676 KFC restaurants - 245 in Poland, 156 in Russia, 85 in Czech Republic, 53 in Spain, 50 in Hungary, 43 in France, 23 in Germany, 7 in Croatia and Serbia, 5 in Bulgaria and 1 in Austria and Slovenia.

Founded in 1954, the Burger King brand is the world's second largest fast food burger restaurant chain measured by the total number of restaurants. The Burger King brand is present in more than 100 countries operating over 15 700 restaurants and serving more than 11 million guests on a daily basis. Burger King restaurants are quick service restaurants that feature flame-grilled burgers, chicken and other specialty sandwiches, French fries, soft drinks and other affordably priced food items.
2017 was a successful year for Burger King restaurants operated by AmRest. The brand continued positive trend from previous year and achieved an increase in same store sales (SSS) and in average guest check (AGC). The strongest SSS improvement has been recorded in Czech market. Brand managed to improve profitability, despite strong negative pressure from increasing cost of labor. EBITDA margin adjusted by startups exceeded last year's level in all the countries that the Burger King brand is operated by AmRest.
On top of the successful improvement of financial performance, brand has experienced most dynamic growth for several years. 2017 brought fulfilling acquisition of four restaurants in Poland and five new openings (four in Czech Republic and one in Poland). Further development of the brand will be realized by new openings in top locations.
At the date of publication of this report AmRest operates 54 Burger King restaurants – 41 in Poland, 12 in Czech Republic and 1 in Bulgaria. In May 2017 Burger King was celebrating 10 years on polish market which was accompanied by PR activities and special offers for our guests. The anniversary proved that the consistently implemented brand strategy allows brand's stable development.

In 2017 the brand continued to focus on the operational excellence. In Poland, Czech Republic and Bulgaria Burger King managed to
increase the Guests' satisfaction level thanks to execution of "Service vision" and many investments in the restaurant environment. The implementation of digital menuboards, hot boards (heated table for burgers' preparation) and testing of "pick up order" has resulted in higher AGC (Average Guest Check), improvement of speed of service and overall better brand image perception according to Brand Observer (Millward Brown). It is

worth mentioning that eight restaurants were renovated in "Prime design concept" – a fusion of handcrafted feeling, cheerful graphics, bold color palette and American prints. Additionally new crew uniforms were introduced to every restaurant.
These positive results have also been achieved thanks to the maintaining high brand awareness on the Polish, Czech and Bulgarian market. According to the latest Brand Tracker report the main advantage of Burger King brand is high quality food, mainly in
following categories: great burgers, flame-grilled burgers and best beef. The brand remains committed to the "Better Burger" strategy, which considerably distinguishes it from the competition. For the first time Burger King
introduced in Poland the Tank Burger – an iconic Whopper in a black bun. In cooperation with World of Tanks the advertising campaign has reached big gaming community in Poland (circa 3 million users).
Another prominent successes of 2017 were Value campaigns conducted twice this year. Launch of "Dobre za Drobne" offer in Poland with the set of value products in price from PLN 3.50 product pack "2 za Drobne" and "King of the month" offer in Czech Republic were very well-received by guest's community which was reflected in the financial results. Those activities were supported by outdoor & digital campaigns. Another worth mentioning project in Poland was the cooperation with the popular bitboxer Dharni, which brought over 5 million views on Youtube and created buzz around

the brand. Very time-limited offers called Crazy Days were especially well-received by our most loyal customers.
Having delivered convincing financial results in 2017, the brand shows growing importance of Burger King in the AmRest portfolio and its readiness for further growth. Furthermore, the restaurants continuously enhance the customer's experience by new "Prime design" model as well as follow the commitment to premium products and "Have it your way" spirit of the brand.
As a result of strengthening the relationship between AmRest and Burger King Europe GMBH, in February 2018 the parties signed Development Agreements for Czech and Slovakia markets. According to these contracts AmRest gained the exclusive right to develop further Burger King restaurants in those countries until the end of 2022. In addition, AmRest will take the role of marketing Ad Fund manager for those markets.

Starbucks is the world leader in the coffee sector with more than 27 300 stores in over 70 countries. It offers a broad selection of coffees from different parts of the world, as well as teas, soft drinks and a wide range of fresh food, snacks and desserts. AmRest Coffee (a joint venture between Starbucks Coffee International and AmRest Sp. z o.o.) currently operates Starbucks stores in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary. The stores in Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Germany are 100% owned and operated by AmRest.
In 2017 the brand continued to grow and develop with 40 new stores opened across the countries. Overall the performance of the brand has been good with growth around 4% on average for LfL (Like for like) sales. Czech Republic and Hungary noted the strongest growth with 6% and 8% respectively. The rest of the markets kept a strong single digit growth pattern. Germany and Slovakia are in their first year as reported in AmRest, so do not have LfL numbers.
AmRest continues to drive the growth of the Starbucks brand through in-store experience and design elevation. Supported by digital engagement expressed through Starbucks Rewards loyalty program, mobile application with payment function as well as activity in the sphere of social media. The third level of brand strengthening is the introduction of Starbucks Capsules (compatible with the Nespresso machines) sold in stores as well as sales of Ready-To-Drink (RTD) bottled beverages across selected countries (not under AmRest operations).

A good example of brand elevation can be seen in the attached photographs of two new stores opened in Romania. Starbucks Lipscani store in the old town of Bucharest with a high profile design, coffee theatre for unique coffee experience with alternative brewing methods as well as a comfortable customer area spread over 2 floors and 400 square meters. The second is the first new design Drive Thru at Military shopping center. Reaching out to the changing habits of customers and openness to consume coffee on the go, the Drive Thru channel is one that will see more growth over the coming years. The performance of both units are on financial plan.
Looking at selected geographies, Germany performed above last year's sales, but below forecast. The New Store Opening count was below plan (5 units) as the need to confirm financial model took priority over openings. First two quarters have proven to be more difficult than expected. In quarter three and four the market produced positive results after the most important part of the integration process was concluded. The outlook is very positive, the brand has gotten momentum in top line sales and the cost structures are falling into place as management becomes more knowledgeable and fluent in executing AmRest operational routines. The engagement of partners is also increasing as the initial investment in building improvements (HVAC) and IT eco-system are consistently showing improvement in working conditions. Significant agreements with the workers councils have been achieved at the end of the financial year opening possibilities for further processes roll-out.
In Bulgaria AmRest opened 2 new stores after years of stagnation. Both units are within acceptable variance to the financial goals. Slovakia saw the opening of one unit (4 in total) with good sales results.
Highest growth came from Poland, where the brand opened 12 units and plans to open another 20 in 2018. This is in line with the strategy for strengthening brand accessibility in the country. Romania grew with 8 units and finished the year with 36. Two openings passed on to this year and have successfully already opened.
On the beverage and food side, the brand has rolled out fresh sandwiches in Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. This is after the initial roll-out in Poland in 2016. Freshly made on spot sandwiches help build the fresh and healthy category and support driving sales. In the beverage selection, Shaken Iced Tea's performed very well in the summer driving growth in cold beverage, average ticket and margin. Frappuccino's continued to provide healthy margins and growth. In the beginning of 2018 milk option have been introduced providing Almond, Soya and Coconut version. Cold brew will continue to be an important platform for new products. In

Germany Nitro Cold Brew has been introduced at the Munich Airport store. The roll-out of this product will continue in 2018 at selected locations throughout the seven countries.
At the date of publication of this report AmRest operates 303 Starbucks cafes (137 stores in Germany, 63 in Poland, 34 in the Czech Republic, 20 in Hungary, 38 in Romania, 7 in Bulgaria and 4 in Slovakia).
2.3. Restaurants in the Casual Dining Restaurants (CDR) segment

La Tagliatella is the leading brand of the Italian Casual Dining segment in Spain. Since the first opening in the small town of Reus in year 2003, the brand has expanded quickly across all the Spanish geography through both equity and franchised restaurants.
The success of the concept lies in its high appeal for all types of targets and its convenience for any occasion. Thus, in La Tagliatella it is very common to see families with kids during lunch on Saturday, couples who celebrate a special night and also business partners meeting over lunch during weekdays. Its extensive and varied menu as well as its quality and attractive price have turned it into a reference for other restaurants in Spain.
During year 2017 La Tagliatella has made a special effort to become even more unique and to strengthen its position of being in the forefront of innovation and product development. As every year, a multidisciplinary team has travelled from the most dynamic markets of Italy to the small hidden corners across the Italian geography to discover the new trends and the most authentic and traditional ingredients of the Italian heritage. New small local
producers have been identified to import from them the most exclusive ingredients to be used in La Tagliatella's new creations, adding even more variety and unique flavour to the menu. As an example, the limited production of artichokes from the south of Italy will be collected only for La Tagliatella during 6 weeks when the weather is more favourable for its harvesting. Or the unique Focaccia di Recco (DOP) produced in Recco, small town in the Liguria region close to Genova, filled with stracchino cheese, and brought exclusively for the brand. Or the olive named "tagiascca" of very short production that has been incorporated to several sauces.


Those and other unique ingredients have been chosenby the New Product Development team of the company in order to ensure the best tasting dishes that were incorporated to La Tagliatella new menu during its roll-out in May. The launch campaign included the game 'Le Ricette de la Nueva Carta' (The Recipes of the New Menu) that was promoted in digital media. Through this gamification campaign the consumers were invited to play different online minigames in order to discover the secrets of the new dishes included in the menu, under a theme that built on the brand's storytelling of Italian authenticity, quality ingredients and unique recipes. Together with the new menu La Tagliatella launched also its new web page, more visual and dynamic, with a special focus on highlighting the quality and origin of its ingredients .
In order to ensure the highest standards of service and product quality, La Tagliatella introduced its first training restaurant located in Madrid, where new
joiners are closely supported and monitored to assure a perfect and standardize experience is delivered across the system.
2017 has meant a new record also in number of openings, with 27 new restaurants (including 22 locations operated by franchisees). It is meaningful that we have opened 2 equity free-standing buildings, with its spectacular and iconic design that anchors the traditional Tuscany architecture with the integration of light through a crystal cube.

Regarding international expansion, La Tagliatella came into Portuguese market at the end of 2017 and its performance had a steady growth till the end of the year. Portuguese consumers have rated very
highly our food and ambiance and Expo Lisbon store/restaurant should be only the first of a list of openings in this country.
As at the publication date the portfolio of La Tagliatella consisted of 236 restaurants – 224 in Spain, 9 in France, 2 in Germany and 1 in Portugal.

Pizza Hut is one of the biggest restaurant chains in the world. The brand is rooted in the United States. Inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, it promotes the idea of a pleasant way of spending time among family and friends. In Poland, Pizza Hut leads the way in the casual dining segment with the highest sales volumes and number of Guests visiting its restaurants. Its leadership position is further supported with the "One Brand, Three Channels" strategy,strengthening its expert position in pizza in all consegment.
Last year was another very successful period for Pizza Hut operations. Development of the brand, historically focused on the casual dining segment, accelerated through –dynamic expansion of Pizza Hut Delivery and Pizza Hut Express formats., Recent developments address changing consumers trends and growing importance of the "convenience" being among major consumer needs. It also sets the brand's strategic development directions for the next years.
Pizza Hut Express is the concept enabling the customers to eat their favorite pizza on their way home, to work or while shopping. Restaurants are relatively small, easily accessible in shopping malls, city centers and locations convenient for a business lunch. Besides Poland and Hungary, where the concept appeared earlier in 2017, Pizza Hut Express was also introduced to the Czech Republic. From a customer's perspective, the unique proposition of Pizza Hut Express lays in a fresh hand made pizza prepared within five minutes in front of customers. It is possible thanks to the limited menu and applying a special kind of stove adjusted to fast baking. The unique concept is advertised with the slogan: "We make fresh pizza in 5 minutes" and offers five most popular pizza flavors from Pizza Hut restaurant menu served on a traditional dough, also with the option of cheese in the crust. At the same time, development of Pizza Hut Delivery is the response to quickly growing trends in home delivery segment.
In 2017, AmRest made significant progress in rolling out both concepts. As a result of signing agreements with YUM, AmRest became the master franchisee of PH in France, Germany and Central Europe acquiring more than 200 delivery and express restaurants in Western Europe. In Poland, we continued opening new stores in both concepts. Fast penetration of key cities both in Central and Western Europe is our strategic goal. Last year we opened 26 restaurants in Poland, 7 in Hungary, 2 in Czech Republic, 5 in Russia, 3 in Germany and 6 in France.
Marketing activities in 2017 traditionally started with the Pizza Festival, organized in our restaurants already for the eighth time. This year we took our Guests in the journey around the world, offering new pizza flavors inspired by cuisines of Asia, Europe and America. We introduced three new flavors every two weeks, encouraging our Guests to visit us again. This all-you-can-eat offer was strongly promoted on TV and the Internet.
The spring was started with the great offer of Bestsellers – attractively priced at PLN 19.95 for the medium size pizza. The aim of the offer was to encourage new Guests to try our offer, which drove the transactions growth in our stores.
For us the summer means sun, holidays and long, warm evenings. To fit this picture, we created our next offer – Big Dipper - a huge (59 cm), oblong pizza, perfect for feasting with friends, accompanied with a fresh salad bar, new flavors and lemonades. The offer was supported by billboards and internet campaign. We encouraged big groups of friends to visit us, which increased the average check during that season.
During autumn time Pizza Hut introduced something entirely new. Using the "craft revolution" in the beer market and referring cult Oktoberfest we wanted to encourage men to visit our restaurants, introducing the Beer Fest offer. It consisted of three new pizza flavors based on the unique, beer dough and, of course, beer itself – famous and popular Guinness. Like earlier, the offer was supported by billboards and internet campaign.
During the autumn/winter season, the limited offer in Pizza Hut Express (Winter Flavors) was introduced for the first time. Three new pizza flavors were well-received by our Guests, leading to significant traffic in our restaurants. Well-thought pricing supported also the average check growth.
In addition to the marketing activities, we also focused on the revitalization of our restaurants. New, refreshed concept of Pizza Hut was first opened in Arkadia shopping center in Warsaw. Its key differentiating elements comprise new design, uniforms and pizza flavors and last but not least - an Italian style pizza made in the brick oven. The concept was very well-received by our Guests, driving our topline growth. In 2018 we are planning to further develop this concept in our key locations.
On a digital side, we successfully continued rolling out our loyalty program "My Pizza Hut" – the innovative tool enhancing customers' engagement in brand's activities and driving the visits' frequency in a long term. Since start, the program has gained our Guests' interest, incentivized by a number of special offers and invitations for registering at our platform. During 2017 the number of program's users reached 350 thousand, increasing by 350% versus 2016.
At the date of the publication of the report Pizza Hut runs 105 restaurants in Poland, 124 in France, 71 in Germany, 12 in Russia,13 in Hungary and 2 in Czech Republic. In 2018 the further, very dynamic development is planned on European markets, mainly in Express and Delivery concept, both by organic growth and next acquisitions.

2017 was the 5th year of AmRest presence in China as in 2012 Company acquired Blue Horizon Hospitality Group – the founder of two casual dining brands present in various cities located in eastern part of the country:
Blue Frog Bar & Grill — restaurants serving classic American bar and grill cuisine along with Asian inspired favorites in a modern, inviting atmosphere.
KABB Bistro Bar — premium segment restaurant, serving the favorites of "western cuisine" along with a wide selection of wine and drinks.
As a continuation of strategic direction announced in Q4 2016, last year we accelerated the speed of Blue Frog development in China but also introduced the brand in Europe, opening first restaurants in Spain and Poland. In February 2017 AmRest acquired the minority stake of Blue Horizon becoming the 100% owner of the Company and Brands. This move was accompanied by a change of the Blue Frog leadership both on global as well Chinese levels. A new position of Blue Frog President was created, which showed the growing importance of casual dining brands for the Company, but also its interest in establishing solid position in China.

China as a very dynamic market with very positive outlook and growth opportunities, but also requires a lot of focus and attention to operational challenges driven by faster than ever pace of new stores development. In 2017 AmRest China opened 11 new venues – reaching to new cities of Shenzhen in the South and Wuhan in the Central

part of the country. Also, its position in the main centers of Shanghai and Beijing was strengthened with addition of two and three new stores respectively. The Central Kitchen model supported by efficient logistic structure remains an effective solution for Blue Frog operations.. Additionally, with recent expansion to "new territories" (e.g. Shenzhen), we focused on local differentiating factors such as understanding customers' taste profile, price perception or demand for Western cuisine. Some menu "reengineering" works were initiated last year, which results shall be visible in early 2018. Also last year gave lots of stimulus to design and décor "renewing" works, which will drive the flexibility in
adjusting the venue model to local requirements and also reduce investment costs. Latest openings set the standards for future development, but also gave the direction for renovation of mature restaurants. The remodeling program shall continue in 2018 and will enrich guests experience across the country.
In 2017, AmRest China made significant progress in all the three strategic areas of Division's development: further integration with European business of AmRest, strengthening the brand through improved customer offer, brand positioning and geographical reach as well as implementation of processes and systems enabling dznamic expansion.
In line with the medium-term strategy, the Blue Frog brands crossed Chinese boundaries and opened its first stores in Europe. In September 2017 "Parque Sur" venue in Madrid started its operation, followed by "Wroclavia" opening in October in the home city of AmRest in Poland. Both venues represent the best of Blue Frog China - from design to menu proposition.. What is important is the fact that "classic" Blue Frog menu in both cases was adjusted to local guests' needs and flavors. Spanish Blue Frog represents more of the "New York" flavors –with its flatbreads and steaks, while Polish one

offers also good selection of soups and bigger offer of cocktails and drinks. In both cases however the burgers represent the best within this category. Parque Sur and Wroclavia are already well recognized by their customers which bodes well further brand expansion in Europe.
As at the publication date, AmRest owns 43 Blue Frog Bar & Grill and 4 KABB Bistro Bar restaurants in China, one Blue Frog in Spain and one in Poland.
3. Structure of revenues
Revenues of AmRest Group amounted to PLN 5 266m in 2017, growing by 25% compared with the previous year (PLN +1 058m). Key drivers behind such a dynamic growth were:
- maintained positive sales trends in comparable restaurants (LFL) on all key markets of Group's operations. In some of the markets double-digit growth was observed,
- historically high number of new openings. In 2017 AmRest opened 210 new restaurants (vs 146 in 2016),
- consolidation of revenues from recent M&As (acquisition of Starbucks chain in Germany (May 2016), 15 KFC restaurants in Germany (March 2017), Pizza Hut Delivery chain in France (May 2017) and Pizza Hut network in Germany (August 2017), 21 KFC stores acquired in Russia (October 2017), finalizing the acquisition of 42 KFC restaurants in France (37 stores taken over in Q4 2017) and acquisition of 51% stake in Pizzaportal.pl business by end of August 2017). Consolidated revenues of abovementioned businesses amounted to PLN 780m in 2017.
Excluding the sales of newly acquired businesses the revenues of the Group in 2017 amounted to 4 485m and were 624m higher than in 2016 (16% growth vs last year).

TABLE 1. AMREST GROUP'S SALES BY DIVISION
*Revenues of SCM Group and Pizzaportal.pl
The seasonality of sales and inventories of AmRest Group is not significant which is typical for the whole restaurant industry. In the CE region restaurants achieve lower revenues in the first half of the year, which is the result of lower number of days of sales in February as well as relatively less frequent visits of customers in restaurants.
4. Supply chain
2017 was the year of good harvest and, on the other hand, of the increase of inflation for selected groups of raw materials. The situation on cereal market was quite stable. After the raise of prices, that we noticed in the first half of a year, in the second half some decreases and stabilization appeared, because of the good harvest and high stocks. Global markets of oilseeds looked similar, what favored maintaining low prices of the products produced based on these materials.
After very low harvest of potato in 2016, in 2017 sowing areas were increased and high harvest was responsible for relatively low prices of that product. However, due to the low quality of the material, the productivity of the potato used for production decreased, what influenced on the increase of final products' prices, f.e. fries. This situation may have unfortunately the influence on the reduction of sowing areas in the next season, because of reducing the crops' profitability and may cause the materials' costs increase.
The chicken market was stable as well, mainly thanks to low fodder's prices supplied by the good harvest. At the same time the poultry sector in the region continuing its development and investments increased its export competitiveness.
The milk and dairy market after the stabilization time came into the period of increases initiated already in 2016. The reason was the downturn in production on the south hemisphere and the growing demand for cheese and butter inside European Union reinforced by the import from countries like China, United States and Mexico. The end of the year brought decreases on the milk market, which should remain for the next months.
The dispersal of the African swine fever (ASF) had a significant effect on the pork prices. Only in Poland the sickness took around 2m of pigs. This factor will be also relevant on global pork market in 2018, which may limit the export possibilities. The second important factor is strong rate of EUR vs USD, which exacerbate the competitive of EU's pork. However the increase in investments noted in 2017 can be the positive forecast for the future.
The increase of beef prices was caused mainly by growing export on the Middle East, especially to Turkey. Moreover, Poland received the "free of BSE" (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, so called mad cow disease) status, which gives us more possibilities to export. The positive impact on the prices may have the Ministry of Agriculture's program helping pigs farmers to change their sector of operation into the cattle business.
Thanks to the continuing of the purchase strategy, the AMRest's inflation assumptions for the main groups of products have been managed to accomplish. Its basic elements, which were realized last year and will be continued in the following period are as follows:
- Continuing cooperation with long-standing, solid partners and building long-term business relations,
- Cooperating only with approved suppliers, who maintain the highest QA standards and food safety,
- Following the situation on the world raw materials market and the events which can have the influence on their prices what facilitates taking appropriate decisions in appropriate time,
- Following materials' price-generating events, like embargo, changes on financial markets, diseases, weather etc.,
- Developing the local suppliers chain to increase the competitiveness and reduce currency risk,
- The regional purchases' consolidation, which will enable introducing new technologies in order to improve effectiveness and decrease production costs,
- Supporting new products' development as part of Innovation Center based on the newest market trends,
- Cooperating with experts and market leaders,
- Introducing environment-friendly packages mainly based on recycle materials with maintaining the highest quality standards and binding law.

Consolidated revenues of AmRest Group grew by 25% over the year amounting to PLN 5 266m in 2017. Strong top line growth resulted mainly from continued positive LFL trends in all major markets of Group's operations, dynamic pace of new openings and intensified M&A activities. The revenues of AmRest adjusted by the impact of acquired businesses (all major M&As starting from Starbucks Germany in May 2016) amounted to PLN 4 485m, representing a 16% growth over the year.
The most dynamic sales growth was reported in Western Europe (+40%). Revenues in Spain grew by 11% in 2017, supported by positive LFL trends and accelerated pace of new openings. The remaining part of growth came from consolidation of acquired businesses in Germany (Starbucks, KFC, Pizza Hut) and France (Pizza Hut, KFC). As a result, the share of Western Europe in total revenues of AmRest increased to 32%. The revenues of Central Europe in 2017 amounted to PLN 2 634m. Key factors contributing to the 17% growth were solid LFL trends (double-digit growth in some markets) and a record-high number of new openings (117 new restaurants added to portfolio in CE in 2017). Russian division grew 30% top line in 2017, driven by positive LFL, new openings as well as addition of 21 KFC stores through M&A in October 2017. In 2017 the Group also benefited from the appreciation of ruble (in local currency revenues grew by 21%). In China, the 16% sales growth in 2017 came mostly from a dynamic expansion of Blue Frog brand (AmRest opened 11 new restaurants in China).

* EBITDA adjusted by costs of new openings (start-up), costs of mergers and acquisitions (all material costs relating to professional services, connected with finalized merger or acquisition and directly related to the transaction), corrections in indirect taxes and the effect of SOP exercise method modification (difference in accounting cost of employee benefits accounted under cash settled versus equity settled option plan).
In 2017 the operating profit (EBIT) of the Group amounted to PLN 267m (PLN -1m vs 2016), while EBIT margin decreased by 1.3pp to 5.1%. Solid top line growth across the board and maintained cost discipline in core business allowed for the Group to mitigate the negative impact of labor cost pressure and expenses related to its activity in M&As. In 2017, positive trends continued in cost of sales (-0.7pp vs 2016), which partially offset increasing payroll (+1.2pp vs 2016) and G&A costs (+0.4pp). The EBIT margin was also supported by a decrease in depreciation cost (-0.1pp), driven by savings in new stores' average build costs and relatively lower depreciation expenses in acquired businesses.
The EBITDA of the Group in 2017 reached all-time high level of PLN 630m, growing 13% over the year. In the meantime, EBITDA margin decreased by 1.2pp to 12%. At the same time, the core business of AmRest continued solid performance, resulting in strong profitability improvement. EBITDA of the Group, adjusted by the impact of acquisitions (Starbucks, KFC and Pizza Hut in Germany, KFC and Pizza Hut in France, KFC in Russia and Pizzaportal.pl) and related transaction costs, grew by 20% in 2017. Respective EBITDA margin of the core business reached 14.6% and was 0.5pp higher than a year ago.
In 2017, performance of the core business stood behind solid results achieved in particular divisions of AmRest Group. In Central Europe, positive LFL trends and disciplined cost management translated into 18% EBITDA growth over the year. EBITDA margins strengthened by 0.2pp to 15% in 2017. The improvement in profitability was mostly driven by continued downward trend in cost of sales (-1.2pp vs 2016) and relatively lower rental cost (-0.3pp), which offset the impact of labor cost pressure and higher pre-opening expenses. Similar to previous years, the markets of Czech Republic and Hungary performed exceptionally well (EBITDA profit in 2017 increased by 25% and 58% respectively and margins reached 19.6% and 16.4% respectively). In Poland EBITDA margin decreased by 0.5pp over the year due to the raising payroll, only partially covered by relatively lower food cost rents.
Solid business performance continued in Russia, with EBITDA profit growing by 41% to PLN 71m in 2017. EBITDA margin improved by 0.9pp to the level of 11.8%. Such results were mainly achieved through savings in food cost, rents, maintenance and G&A expenses.
Nearly 5% EBITDA growth was noted in Western Europe, mostly on the back of strong results reported by Spain (EBITDA of Spanish market grew by 16% and the margin reached a record level of 22.6%). The results of other Western European countries in 2017 were under the pressure from recent acquisitions. The performance of acquired in 2017 chains of KFC and Pizza Hut in France and Germany is currently weaker than the mature business in Central Europe. AmRest's focus on integration of these markets is expected to improve the profitability in the future. It is worth mentioning, that the first positive signs of turnaround are visible in Starbucks in Germany. In Q4 2017 the chain reported the second consecutive positive EBITDA for a quarter.
In China AmRest continued further expansion of Blue Frog brand. Growing scale (11 new stores opened in 2017) and improved efficiency in cost of labor and G&A drove the 66% increase in EBITDA. Meantime, EBITDA margin improved by 2.9pp reaching 9.5% in 2017.
Within the 'Unallocated' segment, the PLN 26m increase of costs over the year was mainly driven by consolidation of Pizzaportal.pl, acquired in September 2017 as well as one-off notary fees related to the acquisition of KFC in France.
Net profit of the Group, attributable to AmRest shareholders, amounted to PLN 182m (PLN -8m vs 2016). Such a result came from further improvement of operating profitability in Core business, which was balanced by the costs of strengthening future growth platform through a number of M&A projects in 2017.
The long-term debt ratio amounted to 1.49 at the end of 2017 (vs 0.90 year ago), driven by the growth of longterm debt necessary to finance the accelerated pace of new openings and recent acquisitions. Net debt calculated for contractual covenants as at the end of 2017 amounted to PLN 1 430m. Net debt/EBITDA ratio amounted to 2.21.

6.7. Major events with a significant impact on the Company's operations and results
On January 25th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest announced the signing of a Share Purchase Agreement ("SPA"), dated January 24th, 2017, between AmRest and Top Brands NV ("Seller"). Pursuant to SPA AmRest will acquire 100% shares of Pizza Topco France SAS ("Pizza Topco") at estimated price of ca. EUR 14m (approx. PLN 61m). Final purchase price will be determined as at the day of closing of the transaction.
Pizza Topco is the exclusive master franchisee of Pizza Hut Delivery restaurants across France. At the date of the SPA signing Pizza Topco operated 123 restaurants, the majority of which are managed by franchisees. The equity restaurants (7 locations) are managed by Pizza Delco France SAS ("Pizza Delco"), a company owned in 100% by Pizza Topco. In 2016 fiscal year the network generated the system sales of approx. EUR 67.6m (PLN 295.6m). The consolidated revenues of Pizza Topco amounted to ca. EUR 14.5m (approx.. PLN 63.4m).
Both parties intended to close the transaction within couple of months. The completion is contingent upon a number of conditions, such as: standard Material Adverse Change clause ("MAC"), approval from the Supervisory Board of AmRest, signing of a master franchise agreement with YUM! Restaurant Holdings (Pizza Hut brand owner), etc.
The acquisition of Pizza Topco fits perfectly the plans of accelerated development of the Pizza Hut brand initiated by signing in August 2016 the master franchise agreement for Central and Eastern Europe countries. AmRest intends to develop in France both the Pizza Hut Delivery and Express concepts.
On May 16th, 2017 Management Board of AmRest Holdings SE ("AmRest") annouced the Completion of a SPA between AmRest and Top Brands NV. As a result of the Completion AmRest acquired 100% shares of Pizza Topco France and changed the name of Pizza Topco into AmRest Topco France SAS. The purchase price at the day of closing of the transaction amounted to EUR 12.3m (approx. PLN 51.5m).
All the approvals and conditions the Completion was contingent upon in accordance with the SPA have been obtained and fulfilled - among others, the master franchise agreement (the "MFA") with Pizza Hut Europe Sarl (US Branch) ("PH Europe") has been signed. According to the MFA AmRest, as the exclusive master-franchisee, have the right to granting the license to the third parties to operate Pizza Hut Express and Pizza Hut Delivery restaurants (subfranchise) in France and Monaco, while ensuring a certain share of restaurants operated directly by the Company. The MFA was granted for initial period of 10 years with an option of further prolongations upon the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions. In order to facilitate the growth of scale of Pizza Hut business, PH Europe introduced an incentive mechanism reducing certain fees incurred by AmRest under the MFA ("Reduced Fees 1"), provided that the Company meets certain development obligations specified in the MFA. Upon entry into force of the MFA AmRest is required to open and operate Pizza Hut Express and Delivery restaurants in accordance with the development schedule setting the minimum number of openings in the subsequent years of the Agreement's term. If AmRest fails to meet the development obligations, PH Europe will have the right to increase the Reduced Fees 1 and change the terms or terminate the MFA. The Company's intention is to open more than 150 Pizza Hut restaurants in the French market within 5 years.
On January 25th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest announced signing on January 24th, 2017 the Binding Head of Terms 1 determining the key terms and conditions on, and subject to which, KFC France SAS ("KFC France") would be willing to proceed with a potential transaction with AmRest whereby (i) KFC would sell and AmRest would buy 42 equity restaurants run by KFC France ("KFC Business") in the French market, and (ii) KFC and the Company would sign a Development Agreement ("Development Agreement 1") and Standard KFC International Franchise Agreement for each restaurant (collectively called the "Contemplated Transaction 1").
The purchase price for the KFC Business is subject to the results of a due diligence to be carried out by AmRest.
It is the intention of AmRest and KFC France that the final agreements (the agreements required for closing of the Contemplated Transaction 1) shall be signed no later than April 30th, 2017, and closing of the Contemplated Transaction 1, including transfer of ownership of KFC Business and payment of the purchase price shall occur no later than June 30th, 2017. If the parties fail to sign the final agreements by August 1st, 2017 the Head of Terms 1 shall terminate immediately, unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties.
In the opinion of the Management Board of AmRest there is a great potential for growing KFC brand in Western Europe. Acquisition of a number of KFC French restaurants will contribute to strengthening the partnership with Yum! Brands and AmRest's leadership position of restaurant operator in Europe as well as drive the value creation for AmRest's shareholders.
On July 12th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed about signing on the same day the Framework Agreement ("Framework Agreement 1") between AmRest ("Buyer A") and KFC France SAS ("KFC France", "Seller"). Under the terms of the Framework Agreement 1 Buyer A was to acquire 42 equity restaurants run by KFC France in the French market, and Seller and the Company were to sign a Development Agreement 1 and Standard KFC International Franchise Agreement for each restaurant. Estimated purchase price is expected at ca. EUR 39.9 million (ca. PLN 169 million). Final purchase price will be determined as at the day of the transaction closing. Estimated revenues of the restaurants in the twelve months period ended on April 30th, 2017 amounted to EUR 99 million (ca. PLN 420 million). It is the intention of the parties of the Framework Agreement 1 that the closing of the transaction, including transfer of ownership of KFC business and payment of the purchase price, shall occur till end of the year 2017 (the "Completion"). The Completion is contingent upon some additional conditions, such as concluding additional agreements ensuring restaurants proper functioning after Completion, and lack of the Material Adverse Change ("MAC"). According to the Development Agreement 1 to be signed before the Completion, AmRest intends to open about 150 KFC restaurants in the French market by end of 2023.
On March 27th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed about signing on the same day the Binding Head of Terms (the "Head of Terms 2") determining the key terms and conditions on, and subject to which, Yum Restaurants International Holding, Ltd ("Yum") and Pizza Hut Delivery Germany GmbH ("PH Delivery") would be willing to proceed with a potential transaction with AmRest, whereby the Company would become Pizza Hut
master franchisee for Germany and acquire two Pizza Hut delivery stores in Dusseldorf ("Contemplated Transaction 2"). As the result of the Contemplated Transaction 2 AmRest would become the master-franchisee for 74 restaurants currently operated by multiple sub-franchisees in the German market and, and would have the right to grant the license to the third parties to operate Pizza Hut restaurants (subfranchise). Additionally the Company would acquire 2 Pizza Hut equity restaurants ("Equity Business 1") from PH Delivery. The purchase price for the Equity Business 1 is subject to the results of a due diligence to be carried out by AmRest. The Head of Terms 2 provides for signing of the agreements required for the acquisition of the Equity Business 1 from PH Delivery ("Purchase Agreements 2") as well as certain agreements with Yum: International Franchise Agreement for each of the equity units and the Master Franchise Agreement ("MFA 2"). It is the intention of the parties that the MFA 2 and the Purchase Agreements 2 shall be signed and closed (including transfer of ownership of the Equity Business 1 and signing of sub-franchised agreements under the MFA 2) no later than May 30th, 2017. If the parties fail to sign the MFA 2 and the Purchase Agreements 1 by that date the Head of Terms 2 shall terminate immediately, unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties. In the opinion of the Management Board of AmRest there is a great potential for growing international presence of Pizza Hut brand in Europe. The master franchise rights for another country will contribute to strengthening the partnership with Yum! Brands and AmRest's leadership position of restaurant operator in Europe.
On May 30th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed about signing on the same day the Amendment to Head of Terms 2. The Amendment extended the term of Head of Terms 2, and simultaneously the period during which the agreements required for the acquisition of the equity business from PH Delivery and the MFA 2 with Yum were to be executed to July 31th, 2017. If the parties failed to execute the Agreements by that day, the Head of Terms 2 would terminate immediately. Remaining provisions of the Head of Terms 2 have not been changed.
On July 31st, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest announced signing and closing ("Completion 2") on the same day of an Asset Purchase Agreement ("APA") between AmRest DE Sp. z o.o. & Co.

PLN 4). Additionally, AmRest and AmRest Kft. (subsidiary of AmRest) signed on July 31st, 2017 the MFA 2 with Yum. The MFA 2 came into force on August 1st, 2017.

The Company, as the exclusive master-franchisee, gained the right to granting the license to the third parties to operate Pizza Hut Dine in, Express and Delivery restaurants (subfranchise) in Germany, while ensuring a certain share of restaurants operated directly by the Company. The MFA 2 was granted for initial period of 10 years with an option of further prolongations upon the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions. In 2016 the network generated the system sales of approx. EUR 55m (PLN 239m) and consolidated revenues of ca. EUR 4m (approx. PLN 17.4m). In order to facilitate the growth of scale of Pizza Hut business, Yum introduced an incentive mechanism reducing certain fees incurred by AmRest under the MFA 2 ("Reduced Fees 2"), provided that the Company meets certain development obligations specified in the MFA 2. Upon entry into force of the MFA 2 AmRest is required to open and operate Pizza Hut Dine in, Express and Delivery restaurants in accordance with the development schedule setting the minimum number of openings in the subsequent years of the MFA's 2 term. If AmRest fails to meet the development obligations, Yum will have the right to increase the Reduced Fees 2 and change the terms or terminate the MFA 2. The Company's intention is to open more than 150 Pizza Hut restaurants in the German market within 5 years.
On April 1st, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest announced signing on the same day the Investment Agreement (the "IA") with Delivery Hero GmbH, based in Berlin, Germany ("Delivery Hero") and Restaurant Partner Polska Sp. z o.o., based in Łódź, Poland ("RPP"). As a result of the IA, AmRest will acquire from Delivery Hero the newly issued shares in RPP and become its majority shareholder, holding 51% of total number of RPP shares. The outstanding 49% will remain in the possession of Delivery Hero. Delivery Hero is the global leader in online food-ordering segment. RPP operates PizzaPortal.pl platform in Poland - an aggregator offering meals from 2,500+ different restaurants in ca. 400 cities in Poland. According to the IA, AmRest will also start the partnership with Delivery Hero's subsidiaries in Czech Republic and Hungary - DameJidlo.cz and NetPincér.hu. Both
platforms are the market leaders in online food ordering industry. Intention of the parties was to finalize the transaction within next couple of weeks, which was a subject to condition precedents defined in IA.
On August 31st, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest announced signing on the same day the Shareholders Agreement (the "SHA") with Delivery Hero, being execution of the Investment Agreement (the "IA") concluded by the Company, Delivery Hero and RPP on March 31st, 2017.

PizzaPortal.pl, DameJidlo.cz and NetPincér.hu platforms are expected to significantly enhance the operation of food delivery segment within AmRest.
The Management Board of AmRest believes that the partnership with Delivery Hero will make the offer of Company's operated brands more accessible to new customers and substantially increase AmRest's market share in delivery segment. In the long term, this should have a positive impact on creating value for the Company's shareholders.

On July 28th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed about a transfer proposal of the Company's registered office from Poland to Spain. The Transfer will not impact the current Company's listing on the Warsaw Stock Exchange S.A. The Company's share capital will not change either. However, the Company's Statute will be changed, and the rights and obligations of shareholders will be governed by Spanish law. Pursuant to Article 8(10) of the SE Regulation, the Transfer shall take effect on the date on which the Company is registered by the relevant Commercial Registry ("Registro Mercantil") in Spain as a Spanish-registered Societas Europaea, which registration is anticipated to take place in March 2018. The appropriate documents such as the Transfer proposal, proposed New Statute and Management Board report justifying the transfer were attached to the regulatory announcement RB 190/2017 dated July 28th, 2017.
On October 5th, 2017 the Extraordinary General Meeting of AmRest adopted a resolution on the approval of the international transfer of the registered office to Spain and amendment to the Statute as well as the approval of the adaptation to Spanish regulations and the adoption of Spanish nationality. The General Meeting, after examination of the Transfer Proposal and Management Report Justifying the Transfer both dated July 28th 2017, approved the transfer of the seat from Plac Grunwaldzki 25-27, Wrocław (Republic of Poland) to calle Enrique Granados, 6, 28224, Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid (Spain) and amended the Company statute by derogating the current text in force and approve the new wording which is adapted to the nature of the Company as a European public limitedliability company domiciled in Spain. The General Meeting, resolved to approve the Company's adaptation to Spanish law and, hence, its adoption of the Spanish nationality. To these effects, among others the follow matters were approved:
-
New Regulations of the Company's General Shareholders' Meeting, the wording of which is adapted to the nature of the Company as a European public limited-liability company domiciled in Spain:
-
Modification of the Company's administration system: the change of current administration system (made up of a management body and a supervisory board, based on a two tier system) to a one tier system, establishing a "board of directors" (in Spanish: consejo de administración) comprised of 7 directors, as the Company's administrative body and dismissal of all members of the management board and the supervisory board.
-
Appointment of following people as members of the Company's board of directors, for the 4- year period established in the new Statute:
1) Mr. José Parés Gutiérrez
- 2) Mr. Carlos Fernández González
- 3) Mr. Luis Miguel Álvarez Pérez
- 4) Mr. Henry McGovern
- 5) Mr. Steven Kent Winegar Clark
- 6) Mr. Pablo Castilla Repáraz
- 7) Mr. Mustafa Ogretici
The Company's adaptation to Spanish law, will apply from the date when the Commercial Registry of Madrid registers the Company as a Spanish-registered Societas Europaea and, therefore, the registered office's transfer becomes effective.
Furthermore, the General Meeting resolved to authorize the Company's Management Board, with express powers of sub-delegation, to perform, acting jointly by at least two members of the Management Board, all and every legal and factual act that is necessary or appropriate to ensure the proper execution of any actions that are necessary
or merely convenient to take in the jurisdiction of Spain for the complete execution of the resolutions and the transfer of domicile.
On October 6th 2017, The Management Board of AmRest informed about signing on October 5th, 2017 a Senior Term and Revolving Facilities Agreement ("the Credit Agreement") between AmRest, AmRest Sp. z o.o.("AmRest Poland") and AmRest s.r.o. ("AmRest Czech") – jointly "the Borrowers" and Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A., Powszechna Kasa Oszczędności Bank Polski S.A., ING Bank Śląski S.A and Česká spořitelna, a.s. – jointly "the Lenders". AmRest Poland and AmRest Czech are 100% subsidiaries of AmRest.
Based on the Credit Agreement, the Lenders grant to the Borrowers a credit facility in the approximate amount of EUR 430 million, about PLN 1 848 million (committed at signing, tranches A-D), which can be extended by additional amount of roughly EUR 145 million, about PLN 623 million (two uncommitted tranches – E and F). The facility shall be repaid by September 30th, 2022 and is dedicated for repayment of the obligations under the credit agreement signed on September 10th, 2013, financing of AmRest growth and working capital management.
The following 4 tranches are committed at signing: Tranche A - EUR 250 million, Tranche B - PLN 300 million, Tranche C - CZK 300 million and Tranche D granted as a revolving credit facility - PLN 450 million. Additionally, facility comprises 2 Tranches that may be committed during term of the Credit Agreement, subject to Lender's approval: Tranche E, PLN 280 million, that may be dedicated to repayment of Polish bonds and Tranche F, PLN 350m, that can be used for general corporate purposes.
All Borrowers bear joint liability for any obligations resulting from the Credit Agreement.
Majority of the facility is provided at variable interest rate and a part of tranche A is provided on fixed rate.
AmRest is required to maintain certain ratios at agreed levels, in particular, net debt/EBITDA is to be held below 3.5x and EBITDA/interest charge is to stay above 3.5.
On February 27th, 2018 the Management Board of AmRest announced signing on the same day the Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement (the "SSHA") with LPQ Russia Limited, based in London, United Kingdom ("the Partner").
The SSHA defined the main terms and conditions of cooperation between the Company and the Partner aimed at developing a restaurant business in the bakery segment in Russia through a newly-formed corporate structure. As a result, AmRest will become a majority shareholder, holding 51% stake in newly created company ("NewCo"). The remaining 49% stake will be held by the Partner. NewCo will own and control its subsidiaries: the operating entity in Russia and the trademarks holding company (altogether "the Structure").
Currently the Partner owns the trademarks of "Хлеб Насущный" (Xleb Nasuschny), "Филипповъ" (Philippov) "Hаш хлеб" (Nash Khleb) and "Андреевские булочные" (Andreevsky Bulochnye) (jointly: "Trademarks").
The cooperation assumes the contribution of Trademarks to the Structure by the Partner. AmRest will invest EUR 6m (six million Euro) into the Structure with the purpose of developing the restaurant business in Russia.
Intention of the parties is to finalize the transaction by June 2018, which is a subject to fulfilment of conditions precedent defined in SSHA.
The Management Board of AmRest believes that described partnership and expansion into bakery sector will increase Company's footprint in the Russian market, enhance its product portfolio and broaden the customer base. The above is expected to strengthen AmRest's position in the restaurant sector in the region as well as be a source of value creation for AmRest shareholders in the future.
6.8. Information on significant transactions with related parties concluded by the Issuer or its subsidiaries on terms other than market's conditions
In the reporting period there were no transactions with related parties concluded within the AmRest Group on terms other than market's conditions.

7. The AmRest Holdings SE Group in 2017
7.1. Planned investment activities and assessment of their feasibility
Investment activities of AmRest Group are focused on strengthening its leadership position and further expansion of scale in Europe a through dynamic organic development and M&A activities. Additionally, continued improvement of operating efficiency and increased effectiveness in capital allocation support long-term value creation for shareholders.
In 2017 AmRest significantly increased the pace of organic growth and opened 210 restaurants. Management of the Company recognized ample white space for continued expansion within existing portfolio in current markets of operations. Additionally, the potential for new stores development increased as a result of M&A projects realized in 2017 in the markets of Western Europe. Similar to the master-franchise agreement for development of Pizza Hut Express and Delivery concepts in CE, in 2017 the Company was granted similar rights for Germany and France. This will further support the portfolio roll out in Europe. All the above-mentioned factors will contribute to accelerated pace of organic growth in 2018.
AmRest monitors recent developments in the M&A market for the potential acquisition targets that would fit in the strategy of the Group. Current portfolio of the Company as well as existing markets of operation are the two filters of potential M&A activity.
Recent dynamic growth of delivery segment, expansion of online food ordering platforms as well as promising initial results of adding chosen AmRest's brands to Pizzaportal.pl encourage to continue investing in this segment. Long-term ambition of the Group is building a leadership position of food delivery segment in restaurant markets of Europe.
The plan of new openings will be adjusted on an on-going basis to the current market conditions and access to attractive locations in each country. Management of the Group is very restrictive and selective in allocation of available capital to ensure minimum 20% IRR on each investment.
AmRest Management assumes the long-term growth to be financed mainly with own funds and debt financing.
7.2. External and internal factors which are significant to the Company's development
Listed below are the factors that, in the opinion of the Management Board, had a significant effect on the Company's future development and results.
7.2.1. External factors
The external factors include:
- competitiveness in terms of prices, quality of service, location and quality of food,
- demographic changes,
- consumer habits and trends as to the number of people using the restaurants,
- number and location of the competitors' restaurants,
- changes in the law and regulations which have a direct effect on the functioning of the restaurants and the employees employed therein,
- change in real estate rental costs and related costs,
- changes in the prices of ingredients used to prepare meals and changes in the prices of packaging materials,
- changes in the general economic condition in Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Russia, Serbia, Croatia, Romania, Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany and China.
-
changes in consumer trust, the amount of disposable income and individual spending patterns,
-
changes in legal and tax determinants,
- adverse changes on the financial markets.
7.2.2. Internal factors
The internal factors include:
- gaining and training the human resources necessary for the development of the existing and new restaurant networks,
- obtaining attractive locations,
- effective launching of new brands and products,
- building an integrated information system.
8. Basic risks and threats to which the Company is exposed
The Management Board of AmRest is responsible for the risk management system and the internal control system as well as for reviewing these systems for operating efficiency. These systems help identify and manage risks which may prevent the execution of the long-term objectives of AmRest. However, having these systems in place does not ensure complete elimination of the risk of fraud and violation of the law. The Management Board of AmRest performed a review, an analysis and a ranking of risks to which the Company is exposed. The main current risks and threats have been summarized in this section. AmRest reviews and improves its risk management and internal control systems on an on-going basis.
8.1. Factors remaining outside the Company's control
This risk is related to the effect of factors remaining outside the Company's control on AmRest's development strategy which is based on opening new restaurants. Such factors include: opportunities for finding and securing available and appropriate locations for restaurants, the ability to obtain the permits required by relevant bodies, the possibility of delays in opening new restaurants.
8.2. Dependency on the franchisor
AmRest manages KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King and Starbucks (in Romania, Bulgaria, Germany and Slovakia) as a franchisee, and therefore a number of factors and decisions related to the business activities conducted by AmRest depend on the limitations or specifications imposed by the franchisors or on their consent.
The duration of the franchising agreements related to the KFC, Pizza Hut and Burger King brands is 10 years. AmRest has the option of extending this period for the next 10 years provided that it meets the conditions specified in the franchising agreements and other requirements, including the payment of the related continuation fee.
Despite meeting the above-mentioned terms, there is no guarantee that after the expiry of these periods a given franchising agreement will be prolonged to the next period. In the case of KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants, the first period commenced in 2000, in the case of Burger King, the first period commenced in 2007 with the opening of the first restaurant of this brand.
Franchise agreements for Starbucks stores in Romania are valid till 2023, in Bulgaria until 2027 and in Germany until 2031.
8.3. Dependency on joint venture partners
AmRest opens Starbucks restaurants through joint venture Companies in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, based on a partnership as part of joint venture agreements. Therefore, some decisions as part of the joint business activities will be dependent on the partners' consent.
The joint venture agreements with Starbucks were concluded for a period of 15 years with a possibility of their extension for the next 5 years upon meeting the specified conditions. Should AmRest fail to comply with the obligation to open and run the minimum specified number of cafés, Starbucks Coffee International, Inc. shall have the right to increase its share in the joint venture companies by acquiring shares from AmRest Sp. z o.o. at a price agreed between the parties based on the valuation of the joint venture companies.
8.4. No exclusive rights
The franchising agreements concerning the running of KFC, Pizza Hut and Burger King restaurants do not contain provisions on granting AmRest any exclusive rights on a given territory, protection or any other rights on the territory, in the area or on the market surrounding AmRest restaurants. However, in practice, due to the scale of AmRest's operations (including a well-developed distribution network), the possibility that a competitive operator (to the brands currently operated by the Company) should appear who would be able to effectively compete with the AmRest Group restaurants is relatively limited.
In the case of Starbucks restaurants, the joint venture companies are the only entities authorized to develop and run Starbucks cafés in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, without exclusive rights to some institutional locations. The exclusive rights apply also to restaurants operated in Romania, Bulgaria, Germany and Slovakia.
8.5. Rental agreements and continuation options
Almost all AmRest restaurants operate in rented facilities. The majority of the rental contracts are long-term and they are usually concluded for at least 10 years from the date of commencing the rental (assuming that all continuation options are exercised, on specified terms, and not including contracts which are subject to periodic renewal, unless they are terminated, and contracts concluded for an indefinite period). A number of rental contracts grant AmRest the right to prolong the contract provided that the Company complies with the terms of rental. Regardless of whether the terms are complied with or not, there is no guarantee that AmRest will be able to prolong a rental contract on terms satisfactory from the point of view of business practice. If this is not possible a potential loss of important restaurant locations may have an unfavourable effect on AmRest's operating results and its business activities.
Moreover, in certain circumstances AmRest may make a decision to close a given restaurant and terminating the relevant rental contract on cost effective terms may prove impossible. This situation may also have an adverse effect on the business activities and operating results of the Company. Closing any of the restaurants is subject to approval by the franchisor and it is not certain that such approval will be obtained.
In the case of Russian and Chinese restaurants acquired by AmRest accordingly in July 2007 and December 2012, the average term of the rental contracts is relatively shorter compared with AmRest restaurants in the remaining countries. This results from the specific nature of the Russian market.
8.6. Risk related to the consumption of food products
Consumer preferences may change in connection with doubts arising as to the healthful properties of chicken which is the main ingredient in KFC menu, or as a result of unfavourable information being circulated by the mass media concerning the quality of the products, diseases caused by them and damages to health as a result of eating in AmRest restaurants and restaurants of other franchisees of KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and KABB, and as a result of revealing unfavourable data prepared by the government or a given market sector concerning the products served in AmRest restaurants and restaurants of other franchisees of KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and KABB, health-related issues and issues related to the functioning patterns of one or more restaurants run both by AmRest and the competition. The abovementioned risk is limited by using the highest quality ingredients in AmRest restaurants, which come from reliable and reputable suppliers, compliance with strict quality control and hygiene standards and the use of top modern equipment and processes which ensure the absolute safety of the meals.
8.7. Risk related to keeping key personnel in the Company
The Issuer's success depends to some extent on the individual effort of selected employees and key members of management. The methods of remunerating and managing human resources developed by the Issuer help ensure a low rotation of the key personnel. Additionally, the career planning system supports preparing successors ready to execute tasks in key positions. The Issuer believes it will be able to replace its key personnel. Regardless of that, their loss may have a short-term adverse effect on the business activities and operating results of the Issuer.
8.8. Risk related to labour costs of restaurant employees and employing and keeping professional staff
Running catering activities on such a large scale as the Issuer does requires employing a large number of professionals. Excessive outflow of employees and too frequent changes in managerial positions may pose a significant risk to the stability and quality of the business activities. Due to the fact that salaries in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary (including in the catering sector) are still decidedly lower than in other European Union countries, there is a risk of outflow of qualified staff and thus a risk of the Company being able to ensure the appropriate staff necessary for providing the highest quality catering services. In order to avoid the risk of losing qualified staff it may be necessary to gradually increase the salary rates, which may have an adverse effect on the financial standing of the Issuer. Additional risk in employment area may be caused by fluctuations in unemployment rate.
8.9. Risk related to limited access to foodstuffs and the variability of their cost
The Issuer's situation is also affected by the need to ensure frequent deliveries of fresh agricultural products and foodstuffs and anticipating and responding to changes in supplies costs. The Company cannot rule out the risk related to delivery deficits or interruptions caused by factors such as unfavourable weather conditions, changes in legal regulations or withdrawing some foodstuffs from trading. Also the increased demand for certain products accompanied by limited supply may lead to difficulties in obtaining them by the Company or to price increases for those products. Both the deficits and product price increases may have an adverse effect on the Group's results, operations and financial standing. In order to mitigate this risk (among others) AmRest Sp. z o.o. concluded a contract with SCM Sp. z o.o. for the provisions of services comprising intermediation and negotiating terms of delivery to restaurants, including negotiating terms of distribution agreements.
8.10. Risk related to developing new brands
AmRest has operated the Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and KABB brands for a relatively short time. As these are new concepts for AmRest, there is a risk related to demand for the products offered and their acceptance by customers.
8.11. Risk related to opening restaurants in new countries
Opening or taking over restaurants operating in a new geographical and political area involves the risk of varying consumer preferences, a risk of insufficient knowledge of the market, the risk of legal restrictions arising from local regulations and the political risk of these countries.
8.12. Currency risk
The results of AmRest are exposed to currency risk related to transactions and translations into currencies other than the currency in which business transactions are measured in the individual Capital Group companies. The Company adjusts its currency portfolio of debt to the geographical structure of its profile of activities. Additionally, AmRest uses forward contracts to secure transaction risks on a short term basis.
8.13. Risk related to the current geopolitical situation in the Ukraine and Russia
Russia is one of the largest markets for AmRest. The recent geopolitical and economic turmoil witnessed in the region, in particular the developments in Ukraine, have had and may continue to have a negative impact on the Russian economy, including weakening of the Russian Ruble, higher interest rates, reduced liquidity and consumer confidence. These events, including current and future international sanctions against Russian companies and individuals and the related uncertainty and volatility of the supply chain, may have a significant impact on the Group's operations and financial position, the effect of which is difficult to predict. The future economic and regulatory situation may differ from management's expectations however it is being monitored in order to adjusts strategic intentions and operational decisions, which will minimize business risks.
8.14. Risk of increased financial costs
The Issuer and its subsidiaries are exposed to the significant adverse impact of interest rate fluctuations in connection with obtaining financing which bears floating interest rates and investing in assets bearing floating and fixed interest rates. The interest rates of bank loans and borrowings and issued bonds is based on floating reference rates which are updated over periods shorter than one year. Interest on financial assets with fixed interest rates is fixed over the entire period to maturity of these instruments. Additionally, the Issuer and its subsidiaries may, as part of the interest rate hedging strategy, enter into derivative and other financial contracts the valuation of which is significantly affected by the level of reference rates.
8.15. Liquidity risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of lack of financing at the moment of maturity of bank loans and bonds. As at 31 December 2017, the Company has enough short-term assets, including cash and promised credit limits, to fulfil is liabilities due in the next 12 months.
8.16. Tax risk
In the process of managing and making strategic decisions, which can affect the tax settlements, AmRest Company is placed at tax risk. All abnormalities present in tax settlements cause also the increase of the risk of dispute in case of potential fiscal supervision. As part of these risks' minimalization, AmRest cares about deepening its workers knowledge about tax risk management and legal provisions' following. The Company introduces also adequate procedures, which should make it more easier to identify and then limit or eliminate the risks in tax settlements. Moreover, with regard to often changing laws, provisions' incoherence and different tax law interpretations, AmRest uses the professional tax advisory services and claims for binding tax law interpretation.
Current fiscal supervisions are presented in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31st , 2017.
8.17. Risk of economic slowdowns
Economic slowdown in the countries where AmRest runs its restaurants may affect the level of consumption expenditure on these markets, which in turn may affect the results of the AmRest restaurants operating on these markets.
8.18. Risk related to seasonality of sales
The seasonality of sales and inventories of AmRest is not significant, which is typical for the restaurant industry. On the European market restaurants record lower sales in the first half of the year, mainly due to the lower number of sale days in February and the relatively less frequent visits to restaurants.
8.19. Risk of computer system breakdowns and temporary breaks in serving customers in network restaurants
A potential partial or complete loss of data in connection with computer system breakdowns or damage or loss of key tangible fixed assets of the Company might result in temporary interruptions in serving customers in restaurants, which might have an adverse effect on the Group's financial results. In order to minimize this risk, the Issuer has implemented appropriate procedures in order to ensure the stability and reliability of IT systems.
9. Company's strategic development directions
AmRest's strategy is to leverage its unique "Anything Is Possible" culture, international capability and superior brand portfolio to grow scalable (min. USD 50m annual sales) and highly profitable (min. 20% IRR) restaurants globally.
In the upcoming years, the Group plans to strengthen its leadership position of restaurant sector in Europe. The growth will be mainly driven by increased pace of new openings (expected min. 300 openings in 2018) as well as continued consolidation of European restaurant markets through potential M&A activities. Additionally, AmRest will focus on integration of recently acquired businesses and further development of delivery and online food ordering platform.
Given the market potential and favourable macro trends, the Company will focus on further expansion of KFC, Starbucks, La Tagliatella and Pizza Hut Express and Delivery brands. The latter one will be developed in connection with the master-franchise agreements for Pizza Hut Express and Delivery formats in CE, Germany and France.
In a long-term perspective, the Company will continue building attractive growth platform in new markets of Europe, mainly through the expansion of proprietary brands portfolio.
Company's strategic development directions will be also determined by current trends in restaurant industry as well as changing patterns in consumers' behaviours.

Appendix No. 2: Corporate Governance
1. Statement of compliance with the Code of Best Practices for WSE Listed Companies
AmRest Holdings SE, which shares are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, makes every effort to apply the principles of corporate governance stipulated in "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016".
Referring to the Principles adopted by Resolution No. 26/1413/2015 of the Warsaw Stock Exchange Supervisory Board dated October 13th, 2015 (effective from January 1st, 2016), The Management Board of the Company informs that it applies most of the recommendations and principles contained in Best Practices. The list of practices that are not applied, together with justifications, is presented below.
According to the current status of compliance with the Best Practice, the Company does not apply:
-
4 recommendations: IV.R.2., VI.R.1., VI.R.2., VI.R.3.
-
5 detailed principles: II.Z.7., IV.Z.2., VI.Z.1., VI.Z.3., VI.Z.4.
Not applied recommendations:
IV.R.2. If justified by the structure of shareholders or expectations of shareholders notified to the company, and if the company is in a position to provide the technical infrastructure necessary for a general meeting to proceed efficiently using electronic communication means, the company should enable its shareholders to participate in a general meeting using such means, in particular through:
1) real-life broadcast of the general meeting;
2) real-time bilateral communication where shareholders may take the floor during a general meeting from a location other than the general meeting;
3) exercise of the right to vote during a general meeting either in person or through a plenipotentiary.
Recommendation is not applied.
Comments of the Company: The recommendation is applied in the scope referred to in IV.R.2.3). The Issuer enables the shareholders to use the institution of proxies at the General Meeting of the Company. The proxies receive voting instructions from individual shareholders.
AmRest has not yet implemented the functionality of bilateral real-time communication, which allows the shareholders to remotely participate in the general meeting.
The Company decided that voting via the Internet involves too many technological, legal and image risk elements, such as:
• Difficulties in certifying the identity of the shareholders
• Technological barriers, e.g. overload of Internet connection and delays in the transmission of image, which may negatively impact the dynamics of the discussion at the meeting, and even cause breaks in the sessions, which in turn can lead to an allegation of breaching the rights of the shareholders who came to the GSM in person, reserving an adequate amount of time for it.
• The responsibility of the Issuer for a potential break of connection with the General Meeting (also such which results from a lack of equipment ensuring fast, stable Internet connection at the part of the shareholder) and the risk of a reputation loss related with it in the case when a shareholder is unable to participate in the GM and exercise the voting right. A break of Internet connection and the inability of a shareholder to vote may result in not adopting a resolution during the meeting or a later claim against it.
The company has not until now received any propositions regarding a need to introduce remote participation in the vote from its shareholders.
AmRest does not ensure the recommended real-life broadcast of the general meeting, but it records the course of the proceedings. The video recording is promptly publicized on the Company's website and is available in the General Meeting tab. The company does not exclude the possibility that it will apply this recommendation in the future.
VI.R.1. The remuneration of members of the company's governing bodies and key managers should follow the approved remuneration policy.
Recommendation is not applied.
Comments of the Company: In the Issuer's enterprise, the level of remuneration of the Management Board is discussed with the Company's Supervisory Board, and the level of remuneration of the Supervisory Board is determined by the General Meeting. It was left in the competence of the statutory bodies to determine the remunerations of the members of the Company's bodies. However, the governing bodies of the Company are in the process of analyzing the rationale of developing the remuneration policy in a form of document in the future.
VI.R.2. The remuneration policy should be closely tied to the company's strategy, its short- and long-term goals, long-term interests and results, taking into account solutions necessary to avoid discrimination on whatever grounds.
Recommendation is not applied.
Comments of the Company: The bonuses being a part of remuneration of members of the Management Board and key managers as well as their benefits from the stock option plans are closely tied to the company's shortand long-term goals, long-term interests and results. However, the remuneration regulations functioning in AmRest have not been drawn up in a form of document. The governing bodies of the Company are in the process of analyzing the rationale of developing the remuneration policy in a form of document.
VI.R.3. If the supervisory board has a remuneration committee, principle II.Z.7 applies to its operations.
Recommendation is not applied.
Comments of the Company: The composition of the Remuneration Committee meets the criteria specified in principle II.Z.7. AmRest doesn't apply this recommendation because the terms of reference of Remuneration Committee were not created in a form of formal document. The Supervisory Board is in the process of analyzing the rationale and the possible method of implementing the recommendation in the future.
Not applied detailed principles:
II.Z.7. Annex I to the Commission Recommendation referred to in principle II.Z.4 applies to the tasks and the operation of the committees of the Supervisory Board. Where the functions of the audit committee are performed by the supervisory board, the foregoing should apply accordingly.
Principle is not applied.
Comments of the Company: AmRest applies this corporate governance rule in a wide scope, but it should not be considered as fulfilled because the terms of reference of Remunetration Committee were not created in a form of formal document. AmRest applies this corporate governance rule with respect to the Audit Committee. The Supervisory Board is in the process of analyzing the rationale and the possible method of implementing this corporate governance principle with respect to the Remuneration Committee in the future.
IV.Z.2. If justified by the structure of shareholders, companies should ensure publicly available real-time broadcasts of general meetings.
Principle is not applied.
Comments of the Company: AmRest does not ensure the recommended real-life broadcast of the general meeting, but it records the course of the proceedings. The video recording is promptly publicized on the Company's website and is available in the General Meeting tab. The company does not exclude the possibility that it will apply this recommendation in the future.
VI.Z.1. Incentive schemes should be constructed in a way necessary among others to tie the level of remuneration of members of the company's management board and key managers to the actual long-term financial standing of the company and long-term shareholder value creation as well as the company's stability.
Principle is not applied.
Comments of the Company: As at today, this corporate governance principle is applied partially. There are two incentive schemes functioning within AmRest - Employee Stock Option Plan and Management Incentive Plan, but only the second one is designed in the way defined in principle VI.Z.1.
VI.Z.3. The remuneration of members of the supervisory board should not be linked to options or other derivatives or any other variable components, and neither should it be linked to the company's results.
Principle is not applied.
Comments of the Company: This principle is not applied, because one of the members of the Company's Supervisory Board is employee within AmRest Group - and therefore is a beneficiary of the incentive schemes functioning in the Company.
VI.Z.4. In this activity report, the company should report on the remuneration policy including at least the following:
1) general information about the company's remuneration system;
2) information about the conditions and amounts of remuneration of each management board member broken down by fixed and variable remuneration components, including the key parameters of setting the variable remuneration components and the terms of payment of severance allowances and other amounts due on termination of employment, contract or other similar legal relationship, separately for the company and each member of its group;
3) information about non-financial remuneration components due to each management board member and key manager;
4) significant amendments of the remuneration policy in the last financial year or information about their absence;
5) assessment of the implementation of the remuneration policy in terms of achievement of its goals, in particular long-term shareholder value creation and the company's stability.
Principle is not applied.
Comments of the Company: The remuneration policy has not been developed in a form of document yet. AmRest discloses in the Appendix 2 to its Directors' Report the information on remuneration and number of options for AmRest shares granted to the Management and Supervisory Board Members. The Management Board together with the Remuneration Committee will analyze the rationale and the possible method of implementing this corporate governance principle in the Company and decide on adoption of this principle or non-compliance with it.
The document "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016" is available on the official website of the Warsaw Stock Exchange devoted to the corporate governance of listed companies (www.corp-gov.gpw.pl, in "Regulations" tab).
Statement of AmRest's compliance with the Code of Best Practices for WSE Listed Companies 2016 is available on the Company website (section "Investors", tab "Corporate Governance").

AmRest restaurant menus offer high quality dishes made from fresh products, based on original recipes and standards of KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and KABB restaurants.
The following table briefly presents the operating model for various brands. A detailed description of various brands is presented in chapter two of the Consolidated Report of the Management Board 2017.
| Brand | Method of management |
|---|---|
| Starbucks coffee shops in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary are opened by AmRest Coffee joint venture companies (82% AmRest and 18% Starbucks Coffee International Inc.), which hold rights and licences necessary to develop and manage Starbucks coffee shops. Starbucks coffee shops in Romania and Bulgaria were purchased from Marinopoulos Coffee SEE B.V. in June 2015. Starbucks coffee shops in Germany were purchased from Starbucks Coffee EMEA B.V. in 2016. In Slovakia, it operates its own coffee shops, based on a franchise agreement with Starbucks EMEA Ltd. |
|
| For the KFC brand, AmRest is the franchisee of Yum! Brands Inc. The first AmRest managed KFC was opened in 1995 in Szczecin, Poland. In May 2005, AmRest took over 8 Big Food Ford restaurants in the Czech Republic and converted them to KFC. Since 2006 AmRest has managed the brand in Hungary. In July 2007, AmRest took over 22 KFC restaurants in Russia. In 2017, AmRest took over 15 restaurants in Germany and opened the first restaurants in Austria and Slovenia. Currently, AmRest operates KFC restaurants in 12 markets. |
|
| For the Pizza Hut brand, AmRest is the franchisee of Yum! Brands Inc. The history of AmRest began with opening of the first Pizza Hut restaurant in Wrocław. Since 1 October 2016 the Company, as the master franchisee, has the right to grant a licence to third parties to operate Pizza Hut Express and Pizza Hut Delivery restaurants in Central and Eastern European countries, ensuring the specific share of restaurants directly operated by AmRest. For Pizza Hut restaurants purchased in France in May 2017 and in Germany in July 2017, AmRest is also the master franchisee who holds the exclusive right to grant licences to other franchisees. In 2017, AmRest opened its first Pizza Hut restaurant in the Czech Republic. Currently AmRest operates Pizza Hut restaurants in 6 markets. |
|
| Burger King restaurants operate on the franchise basis and an agreement signed with Burger King Europe GmbH. In May 2007, AmRest opened the first Burger King restaurant in Warsaw, in Złote Tarasy Shopping Centre. AmRest manages Burger King restaurants in Poland, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. |
|
| La Tagliatella is AmRest own brand, which became a part of the portfolio in April 2011. La Tagliatella restaurants are operated by AmRest, as well as by entities to which the Company leases the rights to operate restaurants on the basis of a franchise agreement. |
|
| The Blue Frog brand became the AmRest property in December 2012 following the purchase of the majority stake in Blue Horizon Hospitality Group LTD. In 2017, the minority shareholder was bought out and AmRest became 100% owner of the business in China and thus, a 100% brand owner. In 2017, the company began the expansion of the Blue Frog brand in Europe, by opening the first restaurants in Poland and in Spain. |
|
| The KABB brand became the AmRest property in December 2012 following the purchase of the majority stake in Blue Horizon Hospitality Group LTD. In 2017, the minority shareholder was bought out and AmRest became 100% owner of the business in China and thus, a 100% brand owner. |
|
| On 31 March 2017, AmRest signed an investment agreement with Delivery Hero GmbH and Restaurant Partner Polska ("RPP"). Under the agreement, AmRest purchased 51% of RPP shares and became the majority shareholder of the company. RPP runs the PizzaPortal.pl website, an aggregator which gathers offers from more than 2,500 restaurants in nearly 400 Polish cities and which offers the customers an option to buy meals online with home delivery. |
In 2017 the AmRest Group strategy was directed towards the development of proven and mature portfolio brands. In practice, this translated into the development of the KFC and Starbucks networks in Europe, and the further growth of scale of the La Tagliatella network in Spain.
The adopted business model secured a rapid growth for the AmRest Group and satisfactory financial results, while respecting the natural environment and, most of all, focusing on customers.

In 2017 the number of AmRest's own restaurants increased by 247 units (as a result of organic growth, acquisition and restaurant closings), including first AmRest-managed restaurants in Austria (KFC), Slovenia (KFC) and Portugal (La Tagliatella). On the markets where AmRest has been previously present new brands were introduced: Blue Frog in Poland and Spain and Pizza Hut in Czech Republic.

4. Risk management and non-financial risks
The AmRest Holdings SE Group (AmRest) identifies the financial and non-financial risks and manages them in its companies and at the Group's level. The risk management system, the internal control system and the review of effectiveness of such systems is supervised by managers responsible for the functions, and ultimately by the Management Board of AmRest Holdings SE (Management Board of AmRest).
The Management Board of AmRest performed a review, analysis and classification of risks to which AmRest is exposed.
The Global Internal Audit and Internal Control Department (Audit Department) plays a major role in risk management; this Department reports directly to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board of the Group. As defined in the Internal Audit Charter, tasks of the Audit Department include, among others:
- identification of risks and opportunities in AmRest,
- recommendation of solutions that address identified risks and opportunities
- monitoring and verification of implementation of remedial actions declared by managers responsible for audited processes or functions.
AmRest developed a model to systematize the approach to the risk identification, evaluation and management. One of the elements of the model is the Risk Map, which contains risks arising out of the specific nature of AmRest activities. These risks break down to strategic, financial, operational and compliance risks and are periodically evaluated by the AmRest management. The Risk Map is one of the sources of information in the process of creating the annual and long-term Audit Plan.
AmRest analyses the risks and improves its risk management systems and the internal control systems on the ongoing basis.
Below we present the risks that may have a considerable adverse effect on operating areas of AmRest related to personnel, social, environmental issues as well as corruption prevention and respect for human rights.
TABLE 3.4. RISKS THAT MAY HAVE A CONSIDERABLE ADVERSE EFFECT ON OPERATING AREAS OF AMREST RELATED TO HUMAN RESOURCES, SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AS WELL AS CORRUPTION PREVENTION AND RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS.
Issues: S - social, HR - human resources, E - environmental, PHR - protection of human rights, CP - corruption prevention
| Risk | Risk description | Possible considerable adverse effect on the issues: |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | HR | E | PHR | CP | |||
| Risk related to consumption of foods |
Consumer preferences regarding the AmRest product offering may change as a result of new nutrition trends or unfavourable information about the products or the quality of products sold in restaurants of brands managed by AmRest. This risk is alleviated by using the highest quality ingredients in AmRest restaurants – sourced from reputable suppliers, by complying with strict standards of quality and hygiene control and by using the latest equipment and processes that ensure the safety of products and food sold. |
| | |
| Risk related to keeping the personnel on key positions |
The excessive turnover of key personnel may be a severe risk factor for the stability and quality of the activities. The system of remuneration and management of human resources developed by AmRest guarantees a low level of rotation at key positions. In addition, the career planning systems allows the company to prepare successors who are ready to perform tasks at key positions within the company. |
| ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Risk related to labour costs associated with employees and employment and retention of professional staff |
The excessive turnover of staff may be a severe risk factor for the stability and quality of the activities. There is a risk of turnover of qualified staff and thus the risk of keeping the catering services at the highest possible level. To avoid the risk of losing qualified staff, it may be necessary to gradually raise salaries. AmRest puts focus on creating a friendly, attractive workplace, where the employees and their diversity are respected. |
| | | ||
| Risk of non compliance of AmRest activities with legal regulations and business ethics standards. |
The risk of non-compliance of AmRest activities with domestic and international and/or internal regulations and business ethics standards. AmRest addresses this risk with the support of appropriate internal processes and functions (Legal, OHS, HR, Internal Audit, Internal Control, etc.) and by using third-party consultants (legal, tax, environmental protection, OHS, etc.). In addition, besides the management and operational structure responsible for risk management, AmRest has appointed an Ethics Committee and a CSR Committee, consisting of representatives of AmRest managerial staff and employees. |
| | | | |
| Risk of lack of support for ethical rules by the top management and non-ethical behaviour of staff. |
Ethical rules adopted by the company might not be supported by the top management, which may cause a weakness in the corporate control systems and jeopardize the goals of the company. This may increase the risk that the employees, by not following the ethics rules, will act dishonestly; for example, they may commit fraud or other abuse. AmRest prevents this risk by, among others, propagating the Supreme Values and ethical behaviour described in the Code of Business Conduct. To address this risk, the Ethics Committee was appointed, responsible for resolving issues related to ethics in business. In addition, AmRest has developed guidelines, monitors the implementation of the CSR Strategy and has developed the CSR Committee, which consists of the top managerial staff and members of the AmRest Management Board. |
| | | | |
| Social and environmental risks (CSR viewpoint) |
Having implemented the Code of Business Conduct and the CSR Strategy, AmRest prevents, among others, the following risks: - negative perception of the company by the public in connection with undue care paid by AmRest to social/public interest; - lack of awareness and sensitivity of managers with regard to the ethics and rules of responsible business; - major negative impact of the company's operations on the natural environment and health; - inadequate response to environmental trends; - damage to the AmRest's reputation caused by AmRest cooperation with unethical suppliers of low reputation; |
| | | | |
| - the lack of public knowledge of AmRest involvement in the | |||||

5. Policies to prevent corruption and results of such policies
The AmRest Holdings SE Group (AmRest) has not identified the need to develop a separate policy for corruption prevention at the Group level to date. The issues of corruption prevention are regulated in AmRest in the Code of Business Conduct among others, which applies to all of the managerial staff and all the employees and contractors of the Group, as well as it lays down the standards for relations with customers, business partners, media, local authorities and communities.
AmRest has also implemented procedures and systems that apply to procurement processes (direct, indirect and investment procurement, as discussed in chapter 8) that minimise the risk of corruption.
For example, in the area of indirect procurement a procedure has been implemented to describe the process of purchasing products and services related to overheads. This document lays down responsibilities of the procurement process participants in all entities the AmRest Group. The procedure defines the stages of the procurement process and the requirements to be met by the staff involved in the selection of suppliers and offers. In accordance with this procedure, the persons who participate in the procurement process are obliged to sign a declaration on the lack of the conflict of interest.
The AmRest Management Board is regularly informed of any inconsistencies related to the risk of corruption and is actively involved in risk management in this area. The Global Internal Audit and Internal Control Department plays a major role in preventing all the abnormalities and corruption.
AmRest employees are able to report all the abnormalities and suspected acts of corruption, via the following channels of communication:
- direct contact with their superior,
- a report to the HR Department, Internal Audit, Internal Control,
- anonymous or public notification via the violation reporting system, including corruption related reports.
In 2017, no corruption behaviour was identified in the AmRest Holdings SE Group.
6. Environmental issues: a description of policies of the AmRest Holdings SE Group and their results
Given the different legal regulations in the countries where AmRest operates and the rapid development of the Group in new markets, the AmRest Holdings SE Group has not developed a uniform environmental policy at the level of the entire Group.
The environmental issues and priorities are presented in "The strategy of responsible business and sustainable development of the AmRest Central Europe Division for 2015 – 2020". In accordance with its Strategy, AmRest tries to act in an environmental friendly manner in all of its operating areas. Goals set for the companies of the Central Europe Division include, among others, reduction in consumption of energy and water in restaurants, reduction in energy consumption in the offices and increased consumption of recycled materials in product packaging.
Individual AmRest companies implement solutions to minimise the impact of operational activities of coffee stores and restaurants on the natural environment. This particularly applies to the issues of energy efficiency and waste management. These solutions are, in many cases, strictly related to the specific nature and procedures defined for the specific brand managed by AmRest.
The AmRest Management Board analyses the environmental impact of the company's operations and the possibilities of environmental-oriented optimisation, among others as part of the comprehensive risk management. Organisational units at the level of individual companies are responsible for environmental issue management.
In Poland, the Internal Control Department monitors the issues related to proper waste management. The Energy Team in the Facility Management Department is responsible for the costs of utility consumption and the costs and consumption of energy and the issues of environmental protection.
Managers of the individual coffee stores and restaurants also play an important role in management of AmRest environmental impact.
Energy efficiency
Our everyday actions and habits have an impact on the natural environment. By optimising the operations of the coffee stores and restaurants managed by AmRest and by educating staff in using various equipment and in energy saving, we contribute to reduction in costs and reduction in CO2 emissions.
Most of the coffee stores and restaurants managed by AmRest in Poland have introduced an electricity consumption remote monitoring system. This system facilitates analysis of detailed data on energy consumption in various locations, prevention of energy waste and seeking of optimisation solutions. AmRest plans to install the electricity consumption remote monitoring system in all restaurants soon.
In Poland, KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants and Starbucks coffee stores use procedures optimised for energy efficiency in operation of electrical devices. These procedures are described in information materials for the staff. In 2018, such information materials for the employees will be prepared on the basis of results of the analysis of energy efficiency of electrical devices used in Burger King restaurants. In addition, managers and employees of coffee stores and restaurants in Poland will receive general materials about electricity saving and rules of waste management, via the Intranet and by e-mail.
Examples of solutions used in Poland and other countries to reduce energy consumption:
- we use motion detectors to switch on/off light in service rooms and toilets; we also use energy-saving fans,
- we use energy-saving air-conditioners with heat pumps; KFC restaurants use smooth control of ventilation efficiency,
- some of the deep fryers, fridges, freezers, ovens and other equipment used in the restaurants is energy saving equipment, ENERGY STAR certified. The deep fryers feature a special energy saving system of operation that allows using a small amount of oil.
- in KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants we use LED type lighting for indoor and outdoor lighting systems,
- in KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut restaurants we recuperate heat from cooling and freezing units. The recuperated energy is used to heat water.
- in KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut restaurants we use environmental-friendly coolants in cooling and freezing units.
In 2018, AmRest plans to build the first standalone KFC DT GREEN restaurant, LEED certified.
In 2017, the AmRest Holdings SE Group consumed a total of 1,009,963 GJ of electricity. In addition, in Poland a total of 122,433 GJ of gas was consumed.

In most of newly built coffee stores and restaurants managed by AmRest (KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut and Starbucks brands), the toilets are equipped with washbasins with energy-saving taps and proximity sensors.
In connection with rapid development of the company in many markets, AmRest has not implemented the waste generation monitoring system that would support detailed reporting of the total mass of waste generated in all the coffee stores and restaurants in all the countries. The companies report waste management in accordance with requirements of the local law of a given state. The Group is working on the system to centralise reporting of this issue and the option of full, consolidated reporting of waste generation level for the entire Group.
In 2017 AmRest generated and handed over to the main waste collector a total of 2,753 tons of waste in Poland, where 9 tons was waste qualified as hazardous waste. In addition, some coffee stores and restaurant locations generated waste disposed into bins of Shopping Centre Operators - AmRest keeps no separate records for such waste.
In some markets, AmRest minimises its considerable adverse impact on the environment by following the policy of separation and sale of spent oil from restaurants to entities which use this waste to manufacture biofuels.
TABLE 3.7. THE AMOUNT OF SPENT OIL FROM RESTAURANTS PASSED IN 2017 FOR RE-USE IN BIOFUEL PRODUCTION PROCESSES
| Country | Amount of recycled oil, in kgs |
|---|---|
| Poland | 393,198 |
| Czech Republic | 239,053 |
| Hungary | 78,570 |
| Total | 710,821 |
In 2017, AmRest was obliged to pay additional fees related to environmental impact in the total amount of PLN 584,600. These were:
- a. Poland: increased fees for exceeded pH standards or substances such as phosphorus, suspension, anionic and non-ionic surfactants, etc. in some of its restaurants (depending on the location).
- b. Poland: a fine for exceeding the noise standard for KFC Powsinka and KFC Dantex
- c. Spain: a fine of €72,000 for the identified incorrect pH of waste and failure to clean the grease trap in the restaurant.
7. Employee issues: a description of policies of the AmRest Holdings SE Group and their results
The success of the AmRest Holdings SE Group is based on the "Everything is possible!" culture of values deeply rooted in the history of the company, where the employees are one of its key pillars. It is the AmRest's ambition to create a safe and friendly workplace that values diversity and fosters employee development.
The cultural diversity is a typical feature of AmRest as an international organisation, which is treated as a source of inspiration. The company creates an inclusive culture, which translates, among others, to openness and care that the company pays to hiring staff and the disabled. In Poland, 5.25% of all employees hired by AmRest under contracts of employment are disabled employees.
As on 31 December 2017 AmRest Holdings SE employed 38,273 employees (31,325 under contracts of employment and 6,948 under civil law agreements) in 16 countries, out of which 36,482 employees in Europe and Russia (contracts of employment and civil law agreements), and 1,791 employees in China (contracts of employment and civil law agreements).
7.1. Policies
All employees and AmRest Holdings SE must follow the AmRest Code of Ethics, which governs the ethical standards in the Group. It is a set of rules and standards of ethical behaviour followed by AmRest and its staff in everyday work. The Code carries an obligation for the employees to follow the rules, by stressing the importance of diversity and respect at the workplace. The issues that govern relations among the employees as described in the Code of Conduct through the following actions:
- AmRest's support for actions which foster building of positive relations;
- lack of tolerance in the company for any behaviour that constitutes harassment, mobbing or violence at the workplace;
- ensuring equal growth opportunities for the employees, promotion of diversity;
- zero tolerance for any signs of discrimination;
- compliance with the principles of equality at all stages of employment, including during the recruitment process;
The policy applicable within the entire AmRest Holdings SE Group is the Diversity Policy. The policy supports creation of such a working environment at AmRest where all employees feel respected and appreciated, where they can fully utilise their potential, which contributes to the success of the entire organisation.
Another global policy in the field of HR is the Talent Acquisition and Retention Policy.
Given:
- the rapid growth of operations and entering into new markets in 2017,
- high diversity of specifics of each country in which the Group operates,
Given the rapid development of activities in new markets, AmRest has no other uniform, international policies that govern the HR issues at the Group level. Currently, key employment issues that regulate the internal order, rights and obligations of the staff and of the employer are governed by documents specified for each company, in accordance with the provisions of the countries in which AmRest Holdings SE operates.
A document which describes company's approach to HR issues is the "The strategy of responsible business and sustainable development of the AmRest Central Europe Division for 2015 – 2020". It applies to brands managed by AmRest in the Central Europe Division, namely in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia. In 2018, the company plans to implement the CSR strategy in other markets in which AmRest operates.
The strategy lays down rules of accountability in relations with stakeholders and employees. Key topics identified by the organisation in the HR area is the culture of inclusion and openness, employer by choice, training and development.
Key strategic goals in the HR area:
- continuation of a policy of the place which values diversity, in particular being open to hiring the disabled
-
regular satisfaction surveys and employee involvement surveys
-
an increase in the number of employees who positively perceive their work satisfaction
- continuation and enhancement of development programmes for the employees.
The issues of occupational health and safety are governed in accordance with the law applicable in the countries in which AmRest Holdings SE operates; thus the OHS issues are not governed at the Group level. In the Polish market, each brand managed by the Group has implemented OHS procedures and manuals as well as the occupational risk assessment. As part of popularisation of the safety rules in AmRest, modern training materials were prepared and e-learning courses were developed to improve accident prevention among the employees.
In Poland, a series of regulations in the HR area was introduced for AmRest Sp. z o.o. and AmRest Coffee Sp. z.o.o. These include, among others (the same for both companies): Work Rules, Remuneration Rules, Rules of the Company Social Benefits Fund, Internal Anti-Mobbing Policy.
As mentioned above, an internal anti-mobbing policy is in effect in both companies in Poland, which must be read by each employee.
7.2. Results
The AmRest Holdings SE Group is a continuously and quickly growing organisation, therefore employee training and development is one of its key pillars. The company operates an extensive system of in-house training courses (hard and soft skills) run by in-house coaches. For department heads and directors, the company offers a special development programme called the AmRest University, while the managers undergo a special training path called AmCollege and Leadership University of AmRest. Besides training paths for managerial positions, the company prepares its team for everyday duties, customer-oriented approach, and sales tasks. These rules apply to the entire Group.
In 2017, the employee development programme called Spread Your Wings was performed in the entire Group (with the exception of new markets acquired in 2017). The goal of the programme was to find talent within the organisation and foster professional development of staff, in line with their competencies, and to support and develop world class leaders in response to the needs resulting from the dynamic and global growth of the Group.
"Job Performance Appraisal" evaluation programme is a formal way of evaluation of the employee's work during the period covered by the assessment, and its result may constitute a factor qualifying for "Spread Your Wings" programme and for annual bonus. The process consists of self-assessment performed by the employee and the assessment of employee's job performance by the supervisor. Evaluation covers managers of restaurants and coffee shops, as well as office employees in all countries, in which AmRest Holdings SE capital Group operates. In Poland the self-assessment process of employees is regulated by "Work results evaluation" procedure.
In 2017, the Talent Amcademy internship programme was carried out in Poland. The goal of the programme was to offer development opportunities to students and graduates and allow them to gain professional experience while they were still at the university. The internship programme contributed to development of the positive image of AmRest as a first-choice employer and was the basis for employee recruitment in the future.
As a responsible employer, since 2007 AmRest has carried out employee satisfaction surveys. The employee satisfaction surveys were conducted in Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Russia and Spain, among all the employees. In 2017, the company decided not to conduct the global survey. The company is currently choosing the best way to express opinions and employee involvement in the changing work environment and the diverse operating markets of the company so that these ways can be tested in 2018. In the years to come, the company plans to conduct annual surveys for all of its employees.
Since the AmRest Holdings SE Group is an international corporation and development of professional career may result in the employee changing their place of domicile, the company has implemented the relocation policy, which was in force in Poland in 2017. In 2018, the new relocation policy is expected to be implemented in the entire Group. The goal of the policy is to support employees who perform their business duties in one of the countries where AmRest operates. Among others, the company provides accommodation, health insurance, school for children, and help with tax returns in the new country. This policy is an expression of the "Everything is possible!" culture of values, which facilitates employees' acclimatisation to the new reality.

8. Social issues: a description of policies of the AmRest Holdings SE Group and their results
Among social issues and social impact of the company, two areas that are the most important to operations of the AmRest Holdings SE Group must be noted:
-
the area related to the impact on customers understood as product safety and quality and customer satisfaction
-
the area related to AmRest social involvement, in particular actions for the local communities.
8.1 Social policies and their results: product quality and safety
The most important responsibilities of the AmRest Holdings SE Group include the issues of quality and safety of food products offered by restaurants managed by the company. The Group focuses on the highest standards of food safety and quality in the entire chain of supplies and procuring fresh products from local suppliers.
The quality and safety of food is one of the four areas of the "The strategy of responsible business and sustainable development of the AmRest Central Europe Division for 2015 – 2020" (the CSR Strategy). In 2017, the strategy applied to brands managed by AmRest Holdings SE in the Central Europe Division. In the years to come, the company plans to implement the CSR strategy in other markets where AmRest Holdings SE operates.
Key topics identified by the organisation in the CSR Strategy in the area of "Our food" are:
- food quality and safety
- responsible procurement and sale
- transparency of information about nutritional value of products.
Selected strategic goals in the "Our food" area include:
- key products tested and verified in laboratories, in accordance with the annual monitoring plan
- monitoring of suppliers: audits of key suppliers
- performance of actions to improve the legibility of information for customers about the quality and safety of meals and products offered, in line with the annual plan
- development of cooperation with local suppliers.
Each of the brands managed by the AmRest Holdings SE Group has its own restrictive policies on food safety and requires that such policies be strictly complied with. In addition, AmRest enforces global standards related to food safety as prescribed in the Food Safety Fundamentals (FSF) policy. The FSF is a global document for specific groups of persons responsible for quality control and safety of foods. It is not the policy implemented directly in restaurants, but it is the basis for development or update of the existing food safety standards in each of the brands and in each country managed by AmRest Holdings SE. The Food Safety Fundamentals is also a document which confirms the food safety level on new markets acquired by AmRest. Each market and brand have their own specifics, however, regardless of the local regulations, individual standards or procedures, they have to be additionally verified to meet the level of food safety as expected by AmRest.
The AmRest Holdings SE Group runs regular tests of product quality and conducts audits among its suppliers. The rules and scope of supplier audits are strictly defined in the Suppliers Approval Process policy and product quality tests are defined in the Brand Protection Monitoring System (BPMS) Policy, which primarily applies to food safety.
AmRest has implemented the BPMS Policy in: Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia and Austria. It applies to selected brands managed by AmRest: KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut. Product quality tests are conducted in accordance with restrictive standards for each of the brands managed by AmRest. This follows the specific nature of each brand, which differ from each other in terms of the scope of products offered (including
food products used by the brand) and the analysis of risks and threats, which is conducted on the basis of longterm experience in brand management.
Each brand restaurant managed by AmRest requires specific products that meet certain parameters. Therefore, ongoing contact with suppliers, joint improvement of processes of production, storage and transport of products is such an important operating area of the Group. AmRest cooperates with proven and reputable manufacturers, who are market leaders in product quality. In all of its operating markets, AmRest enforces the Supply Approval Process, which governs the entire process of supplier approval.
Procurement processes of the AmRest Group are performed in three separate channels, which use separate policies and procedures:
- a. SCM: direct procurement and some of the investment procurement
- b. Indirect Procurement Department
- c. Investment Department
The Procurement Procedure is a document that governs the procurement processes in the SCM procurement channel. This procedure applies in the CEE markets (it will be also implemented in the French and German markets). The procedure defines the documentation that is necessary before starting the cooperation with the supplier, defines the time of tender procedure execution and frequency of tender procedures and defines the method of approving the tender procedure. It is an audit requirement applied within product groups. The SCM also conducts procurement tasks on the basis of the Supplier Approval Process, which applies globally, with the exception of China and Spain.
The Indirect Procurement Department conducts procurement based on its on Global Procurement Procedure, which applies to the entire Group, with the possible exception of Spain and China, which have local policies that overlap the global policy.
The Cost Management Procedure governs expenses incurred within the entire Group by the Investment Department.

By taking special and restrictive care of the safety and quality of foods, the AmRest Holdings SE Group controls this area, among others, by:
- systems of control of expiry dates and the product rotation system in the restaurants
- the system which supports coffee stores and restaurant managers with orders and which optimises the necessary quantity of products and ensures that products are fresh in the restaurant
- coffee stores and restaurants have dedicated storage rooms walk-in refrigerators and walk-in freezers, with electronic temperature control and necessary equipment to store the products; in addition the walkin refrigerators and walk-in freezers have curtains built into the door to reduce temperature spikes
- the restaurants use professional heavy duty cleaning and/or disinfection agents and equipment that ensures that such agents are effectively dosed – the concentration of agents is constantly controlled to maintain the highest effectiveness
- hand wash and/or disinfection systems for the employees
- regular training in hygiene and quality standards
- unexpected audits in restaurants, conducted by the internal audit department and third-party independent auditors.
- procedures for dealing with products in restaurants to maintain the highest quality and safety of the products
- thermal processing control systems among others, frying and roasting to ensure the highest quality and safety of foods
Customer satisfaction surveys
The opinion of customers of restaurants managed by AmRest is an important element that affects decisions made in the process of management and improvement of corporate procedures. The restaurant customer satisfaction level is surveyed locally. Each brand managed by AmRest Holdings SE runs its own customer satisfaction survey programme. Since every brand has its peculiarities while the questions asked in the survey must be adequate to the services of the brand, the brands implement their own customer satisfaction survey programmes. Restaurant customers are asked to fill out an online survey. The customers rate the quality of service, products they order, waiting time, whether the order is correctly fulfilled, how clean the restaurant is and most of all, describe their overall satisfaction level.
Surveys are analysed at the restaurant level, region and country level, and brand level. At each level, managers can generate survey results at any time, by directly accessing the online customer satisfaction survey collection and analysis system.
TABLE 3.15. RESULTS OF THE OVERALL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY IN 2017, BROKEN DOWN BY BRANDS:
| Brand | Result* |
|---|---|
| Starbucks | 73 |
| KFC | 72 |
| Blue Frog | 70 |
| Burger King | 70 |
| Pizza Hut | 70 |
| La Tagliatella | 69 |
| KAAB | 68 |
*The result means % of awarded highest score of overall satisfaction level (where the maximum score = 100% of awarded highest scores for overall satisfaction level)
Complaint processes are governed in separate AmRest complaint policies in individual markets. In 2018, the policies are expected to be consolidated at the global level. The Customer Support Team is in charge of reviewing customer reports. The time the customer receives the response to the report is no more than 72 hours. The customers may use different channels to submit their reports, whether directly in restaurants, by a dedicated mailbox, by surveys, by calling the helpline or by visiting brand profiles in social media.
In 2018, AmRest plans to launch a global tool to manage reports from AmCare customers (among others complaints, suggestions, questions). Initially, the system will be implemented in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
8.2 Social policies and their results: social involvement
The AmRest Holdings SE Group is a socially involved group, which takes care of its impact on the surroundings and local communities. Given the diversity of markets in which the Group operates, there is no social involvement policy that would apply in all companies and countries in which the Group operates. Since a widely understood diversity is a major value for the company, companies of the Group have a choice and take such social initiatives dedicated to local communities that respond to identified needs and are tailored to the local needs.
The issues of social involvement of the Group are addressed in "The strategy of responsible business and sustainable development of the AmRest Central Europe Division for 2015–2020" (the CSR Strategy), where local communities are one of the strategic areas. Key directions of social actions identified in the CSR Strategy are programmes that support development of kids and young people and employee voluntary service.
Selected strategic goals:
- AmRest is perceived as a socially responsible company, which helps to solve major social issues in the closest environment of the company.
- AmRest supports employees' involvement in local initiatives, and inspires them to act, by providing staff with proper tools and by creating in-house programmes.
The approach of AmRest and its employees to their environment is addressed in the Code of Conduct, which requires that the employees be responsible citizens of local communities, encourages them to act for such communities and to support charitable and educational activities.
Some examples of AmRest social initiatives:
In 2017, the AmRest Holdings SE Group spent PLN 3,146,800 on social activities. In the reported period, the biggest social investment by AmRest was PLN 2,865,000 spent on implementation and execution of a unique social project entitled SIEMACHA Spot Magnolia Park Wrocław. AmRest also supported the FCSR Foundation from Pomerania and donated PLN 120,000 to promote its statutory goals.
AmRest as a strategic partner of SIEMACHA Spot Magnolia Park Wrocław
In 2017 AmRest continued strategic partnership with the SIEMACHA Association, as part of its own concept of SIEMACHA Spots. The institution in Wrocław operates through cooperation between the SIEMACHA Association, the Magnolia Park Shopping Centre, the City of Wrocław and AmRest. It is the place where modern educational solutions are implemented in practice, which support the development of young people who often find themselves in very difficult situations. The SIEMACHA Spot Magnolia Park in Wrocław offers a wide range of educational, musical, artistic, multimedia, cooking and sports activities to kids and young people.
The project created a place in the Magnolia Shopping Centre for kids from families in need of support, as well as a programme of employee voluntary service, with activities such as cooking, language, therapeutic and sports classes. The institution can be also supported by people who are not members of the organisation, by registering at www.wolontariuszeamrest.pl.

Employee voluntary service
Involvement of the AmRest's employees in education of kids and young people who frequent the SIEMACHA Spot Magnolia Park Wrocław is one of many examples of the employee voluntary service targeted at local needs and communities. In all the countries where AmRest operates, a total of 800 AmRest employees were involved in various projects of employee voluntary service in 2017.
There were approx. 5,000 beneficiaries of the social activities carried out by AmRest in 2017.
In 2017, 40 grant projects were completed in Poland and the Czech Republic, with 150 volunteers participating. The projects provided support to 1,500 beneficiaries (children, the elderly, the disabled children and adults, and animals). AmRest appropriated PLN 75,000 to support the grant programme of the employee voluntary service in those two countries.
In Poland, AmRest staff took part in the Corporate Run to raise funds for the disabled and ill children.
The system of providing food to those in need
In 2017, the AmRest Group launched a system for providing the surplus foods from the KFC restaurants to institutions and organisations that support persons in a difficult situation. The procedure for storage and supply of foods to social partners, strictly monitored in terms of food quality and safety, was implemented. The programme carries out two social goals that are of major importance to AmRest: help to local communities in need and preventing food waste.
In 2017, in Poland alone, the KFC restaurants handed over chicken foods worth PLN 4.7m to those in need. AmRest has also implemented the project in Hungary, Serbia and Spain.

1 Company overview and significant accounting policies

(b) Representations on compliance of the financial statements with the International Financial Accounting Standards
These separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union for annual financial reporting, in force as at December 31, 2017. As at December 31, 2017 there are no discrepancies between the accounting policies adopted by the Group according to IFRS standards accepted to use in European Union and the IFRS standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
• IFRS 9 Financial instruments
IFRS 9 replace IAS 39 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost, those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses – the expected credit losses (ECL) model. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income. Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align accounting more closely with risk management.
The Company applies hedge accounting and from January 1, 2018 will also be in line with the requirements of new standard.
The Company applied the standard from January 1, 2018.
The impact of standard application is not significant.
• IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The new standard introduces the core principle that revenue must be recognised when the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at the transaction price. Any bundled goods or services that are distinct must be separately recognised, and any discounts or rebates on the contract price must generally be allocated to the separate elements. When the consideration varies for any reason, minimum amounts must be recognised if they are not at significant risk of reversal. Costs incurred to secure contracts with customers have to be capitalised and amortised over the period when the benefits of the contract are consumed.
The Company applied the standard for January 1, 2018.
The impact of standard application is not significant.
Notes to the Annual Separate Financial Statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
• Amendments to IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The amendments do not change the underlying principles of the Standard but clarify how those principles should be applied. The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer a good or a service to a customer) in a contract; how to determine whether a company is a principal (the provider of a good or service) or an agent (responsible for arranging for the good or service to be provided); and how to determine whether the revenue from granting a licence should be recognised at a point in time or over time. In addition to the clarifications, the amendments include two additional reliefs to reduce cost and complexity for a company when it first applies the new Standard.
The Company applied the standard for January 1, 2018.
• IFRS 16 "Leases"
The new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. All leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and, if lease payments are made over time, also obtaining financing. Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Lessees will be required to recognise: (a) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and (b) depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.
The Company will apply the standard from January 1, 2019.
The impact of standard application is not significant.
• Amendments to IFRS 2, Share-based Payment
The amendments mean that non-market performance vesting conditions will impact measurement of cashsettled share-based payment transactions in the same manner as equity-settled awards. The amendments also clarify classification of a transaction with a net settlement feature in which the entity withholds a specified portion of the equity instruments, that would otherwise be issued to the counterparty upon exercise (or vesting), in return for settling the counterparty's tax obligation that is associated with the share-based payment. Such arrangements will be classified as equity-settled in their entirety.
Finally, the amendments also clarify accounting for cash-settled share based payments that are modified to become equity-settled, as follows (a) the share-based payment is measured by reference to the modificationdate fair value of the equity instruments granted as a result of the modification; (b) the liability is derecognised upon the modification, (c) the equity-settled share-based payment is recognised to the extent that the services have been rendered up to the modification date, and (d) the difference between the carrying amount of the liability as at the modification date and the amount recognised in equity at the same date is recorded in profit or loss immediately.
The Company applied the standard from January 1, 2018.
The impact of standard application is not significant.
• Transfers of Investment Property - Amendments to IAS 40
The amendments clarify the requirements on transfers to, or from, investment property in respect of properties under construction.
The Company will apply the standard once approve by UE.
Notes to the Annual Separate Financial Statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
• Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures - Amendments to IAS 28
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 or later. The amendments clarify that reporting entities should apply IFRS 9 to long-term loans, preference shares and similar instruments that form part of a net investment in an equity method investee before they can reduce such carrying value by a share of loss of the investee that exceeds the amount of investor's interest in ordinary shares.
The Company will apply the standard from January 1, 2019.
At the date of preparation this financial statements the Company has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the amendments on the separated financial statement.
At the date of preparation of these separated financial statements, this standard has not yet been approved by the European Union.
• IFRIC 22 - Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration
The interpretation addresses how to determine the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part thereof) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from an advance consideration in a foreign currency. IFRIC is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018 or later.
The Company will apply the standard once approved by UE.
• IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
IAS 12 specifies how to account for current and deferred tax, but not how to reflect the effects of uncertainty. IFRIC is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 or later
The Company will apply the standard from January 1, 2019.
At the date of preparation this financial statements the Company has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the amendments on the separated financial statement.
At the date of preparation of these separated financial statements, this standard has not yet been approved by the European Union.
• Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle - amendments to IFRS 3, IFRS 11, IAS 12 and IAS 23
IASB issued in December 2017 annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle changing IFRS 3, IFRS 11, IAS 12 and IAS 23. Amendments contain clarifications and specification relating to recognition and valuation.
The Company will apply the standard from January 1, 2019.
At the date of preparation this financial statements the Company has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the amendments on the separated financial statement.
At the date of preparation of these separated financial statements, this standard has not yet been approved by the European Union.
• Amendments to IAS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement
The amendments were issued on February 7, 2018 and are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 or later. The amendments specifies how a company accounts for a defined benefit plan. When a change to a plan—an amendment, curtailment or settlement—takes place, IAS 19 requires a company to remeasure its net defined benefit liability or asset. The amendments require a company to use the updated assumptions from this remeasurement to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after the change to the plan. Until now, IAS 19 did not specify how to determine these expenses for the period after the change to the plan.
The Company will apply the standard from January 1, 2019.

At the date of preparation of these separated financial statements, this standard has not yet been approved by the European Union.
• IFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral Accounts
IFRS 14 permits first-time adopters to continue to recognize amounts related to rate regulation in accordance with their previous GAAP requirements when they adopt IFRS. However, to enhance comparability with entities that already apply IFRS and do not recognize such amounts, the standard requires that the effect of rate regulation must be presented separately from other items. An entity that already presents IFRS financial statements is not eligible to apply the standard.
The standard was not endorsed by the IASB.
Other issued but not endorsed standards or interpretations do not affect the Company's activity.
(c) Basis of preparation of financial statements
Because of the fact that Company has moved its seat to Poland financial statements was prepared in polish zloty (PLN), after rounding to full thousands (TPLN).
The Company prepares separate financial statements of the Group for which it acts as a parent. The consolidated and separate financial statements have to be analyzed jointly in order to vies a full picture of the Company's financial.
The financial statements were prepared on the historical cost excluding valuation of derivative instruments and investment properties to their fair value.
The preparation of the IFRS financial statements requires the Management of the Company to make certain assumptions and estimates which are reflected in the accounting policy and that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and reported revenues and expenses during the period. The results of the estimates and the respective assumptions being the result of experience and various factors deemed to be justified in given circumstances are the basis for assessing the values of assets or liabilities which do not result directly from other sources. The actual financial results may differ from the adopted estimates.
The estimates and the assumptions on which they are based are subject to current verification. The adjustment of accounting estimates is recognized in the period in which it was made, on condition that it only relates to that period, or in the period in which it was made, and in future periods, if it relates both to the current and future periods.
The accounting policies described above have been applied consistently in all the financial years covered by the separate financial statements, except for those instances were changes were made in connection to new standards and interpretations were applied.
(d) Going concern assumption
Information presented below should be read together with information provided in Note 12 and 16, describing accordingly: contingencies, and significant post balance sheet events after December 31, 2017.
Annual separate financial statements for the period of 12 months ended December 31, 2017 were prepared in accordance with going concern assumption by the Entity in foreseeable future, what assumes realization of assets and liabilities throughout the normal terms of business operations. Annual separate financial statements does not account for adjustments, which would be essential in such events. As at the date of annual separate financial statements issuance in assessment made by Management Board Entity there are no circumstances indicating threats for business going concern of the Entity and any related party in AmRest Group as well.
Notes to the Annual Separate Financial Statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
(e) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment owned by the Company
The initial value of the property, plant and equipment is recognized in the books of account at historical cost net of accumulated depreciation and potential impairment. The initial value of the property, plant and equipment manufactured internally covers the cost of materials, direct labor, and – if material – the initial estimate of the cost of disassembly and removal of the assets and of bringing the location to the condition it had been in before the lease agreement was signed.
Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing proceeds from sale with carrying amounts and recognized in the income statement under "Gains/losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment".
(f) Intangible assets
Computer software
Acquired licenses for computer software are capitalized on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and prepare specific software for use. These costs are amortized on the basis of the expected useful lives.
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets are recognized at cost (purchase price or manufacturing cost) less amortization and potential impairment.
Amortization
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the assets if it is determined. Goodwill and other intangible assets whose expected useful lives cannot be specified are assessed annually for potential impairment and are not amortized. Other intangible assets are amortized as of the date of their availability for use.
The expected useful lives of assets are as follows:
• Computer software 3 -5 years
(g) Financial assets – investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost, net of impairment losses.
The value of shares is further adjusted by the amount of the costs arising from the share option plan (options granted to employees of subsidiaries).
Other than investments in subsidiaries the Company classifies its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity assets, and availablefor-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and reviews this designation at every balance sheet date.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any other categories described below. The Entity does not maintain any investments classified as available-forsale financial assets as at the end of each of the periods covered by these separate financial statements.
Notes to the Annual Separate Financial Statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
Financial assets at fair value profit or loss
This category has two sub-categories: 'financial assets held for trading', and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Derivatives are also categorized as 'held for trading' unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The Company does not maintain any investments classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss as at the end of each of the periods covered by these financial statements.
Financial assets held to maturity
This category covers financial assets which the Management Board decided would be maintained to maturity upon inception. Financial assets held to maturity are stated at amortized cost. The carrying amount of investments measured at adjusted purchase price (amortized cost) and is calculated as the amount due on maturity net of all non-amortized initial discounts or premiums.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. They are carried at amortized cost less impairment losses and are classified as 'trade and other receivables' in the balance sheet for maturities not greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date (see note (h) of accounting policies below).
Regular investment purchase and sale transactions are recognized as at the transaction date – the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sell a given asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. This relates to all financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and the transaction costs are recognized in the income statement. Financial assets recognized at fair value through profit or loss are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or were transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at adjusted purchase price (amortized cost using the effective interest method).
(h) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost less impairment losses.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
(j) Impairment
As at each balance sheet date the Company verifies the carrying amount of assets other than inventories and deferred income tax assets, to determine whether the assets do not show signs of impairment. If there are signs of impairment, the recoverable value of the assets is determined. In respect of assets whose economic useful life is not determined and assets which were not commissioned for use, and goodwill, the recoverable amount is determined as at each balance sheet date. Impairment write-downs are recognized in the books of account in the event that the present value of an asset or a group of assets generating specific cash flows exceeds their recoverable value. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.
Notes to the Annual Separate Financial Statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
Impairment write-downs of trade and other receivables are recognized when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all the amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. If there is such evidence, the impairment write-downs recognized in amortized cost of the receivables are determined as the difference between the value of the assets following from the books of account as at the measurement date and the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted using the effective interest rate of the financial instrument. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.
Impairment on the investments in subsidiaries is recognized to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount of these assets is lower than their book value. When tasting for impairment of investments in subsidiaries the Entity measures the value in use of an asset by determining the current present value of the estimated future cash flow expected to be derived from the continued use of these assets and their disposal at the end of useful life period. Value of the future cash flows is based on the most recent and approved by Management Board budget, which covers the period of following 5 years, while data for the period beyond the period covered by the most recent budget by extrapolating the projections using a steady growth rate at the level of 3%. A cash-generating unit is a separate subsidiary running business activity.
The recoverable amount of the remaining assets is estimated at the higher of the fair value net of costs to sell and the value in use. Value in use is deemed to be the sum of discounted future cash flows which will be generated from the asset using the market discount rate before tax reflecting the time value of money and the risks characteristic for the given asset. If it is not possible to determine the future cash flows from a given asset, for the purpose of determining the value in use, a group of assets which includes the given asset, which generate specific cash flows, are taken into account.
Reversal of impairment write-downs
Impairment write-downs in respect of receivables recognized at amortized cost are reversed if the later increase in their recoverable value may be objectively attributed to an event which arose after the impairment was recognized.
Impairment write-downs in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment writedowns are reversible if there are premises indicating that the impairment has ceased to exist or decreased. Reversal of impairment should be made if estimates used to determine the recoverable value are changed.
Impairment write-downs are reversed only to the extent to which the carrying amount of an asset does not exceed the carrying amount it would be recognized at, net of depreciation, had the impairment not been recognized.
(k) Equity
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
The supplementary capital comprises of:
- surpluses between income from share issue and nominal value of issued shares, less costs of issue,
- costs of employee benefits and share option plans.
(l) Financial liabilities - interest bearing loans and borrowings and bonds obligations
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings as well as bonds obligations are recognized initially at cost being their fair value, less attributable transaction costs. In subsequent periods, borrowings are stated at amortized cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest rate method.
If the loan is settled before the maturity date, any difference between the settled cost and the current cost is recognized in the income statement.
Notes to the Annual Separate Financial Statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
The zero coupons bonds obligations are classified as non-current liabilities if the maturity date is equal greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date.
(m) Employee benefits
Share-based compensation
The Company, having no own employees, provides two equity-settled, share-based compensation plans for the key employees of AmRest Group (see Note 6). The fair value of work performed by the employees for a consideration payable in options increases costs. The total amount which has to be taken to the income statements over the vesting period is based on the fair value of options received. As at each balance-sheet date entity verifies its estimates connected with number of options expected to vest. The impact of the potential verification of initial estimates is recognized by the Group in the income statement, in correspondence with equity. The proceeds from the exercise of options (net of transaction costs directly related to the exercise) are recognized in share capital (at nominal value) and in supplementary capital, in share premium.
For share-based payment transactions in which the terms of the arrangement provide either the entity / the Company or the counterparty with the choice of whether the entity settles the transaction in cash or by issuing equity instruments, the entity / the Company shall account for that transaction, or the components of that transaction, as a cash-settled share-based payment transaction if, and to the extent that, the entity has incurred a liability to settle in cash, or as an equity-settled share-based payment transaction if, and to the extent that, no such liability has been incurred.
In 2014 the share-based payment plans (plan 2) were modified so that it may be settled in cash instead of shares. As a result the group re-measures the liability at the date of change using the modification date fair value of the equity-settled award or the present value of the future cash outflows, based on the elapsed portion of the vesting period.
The subsequent settlement of the liability follows the requirements for a cash-settled share-based payment.
The Company incurred a liability measured at fair value, taking into account the period of service / vesting period, and any changes in value are recognized in investments at the end of the period.
At the date of settlement, the Company shall remeasure the liability to its fair value. The actual settlement method selected by the employees, will dictate the accounting treatment:
- if cash settlement is chosen, the payment will reduce the entirely recognised liability; Any equity component previously recognised will remain within equity, but it could be reclassified to other components of equity;
- if the settlement is in shares, the balance of the liability is transferred to equity, being consideration for the shares granted. Any equity component previously recognised shall remain within equity.
(n) Trade and other payables
They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost.
(o) Currency and exchange differences
Entity presented its annual separate financial statements in Polish zloty. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the rate prevailing as at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated into Polish zloty at the rate prevailing as at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising as a result of translating the transactions denominated in foreign currencies into Polish zloty were recognized in the income statement, except incomes and losses concern hedging instrument, which constitutes effective hedge presented directly in other comprehensive
Notes to the Annual Separate Financial Statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities stated at historical cost and denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate as of the transaction date.
(p) Income tax expense
The income tax shown in the income statement comprises the current and deferred portion. The current portion of the income tax includes tax calculated on the basis of the taxable income for the current period using the income tax rates which have been enacted or substantially enacted as at the balance sheet date, and adjustments of the income tax liability from prior years.
Income tax expense is recognized in the income statement, with the exception of transactions accounted for in equity, in respect of which the tax is also recognized directly in equity.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, if the deferred income tax arose in respect of the initial recognition of an asset or liability under a transaction other than a business combination which has no impact on the profit/loss for accounting or tax purposes, it is not recognized. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax is not recognized upon the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
(r) Other operating income and expenses
Other operating income and expenses include recurrent, indirect revenue and costs related only to the actual operational business of the Company (ie. core, statutory activities). This kind of business include among others: revenue resulting from re-invoicing of costs of realized share options to the related entities, cost of impaired assets, cost of issued own shares, results on fixed assets disposed.
(s) Financial cost and income
Financial costs and income include any benefits incurred from the possession, lending or sales of the financial assets to third parties (dividends, interest, discounts, increase in the fair value of the financial assets) and any fees charged by third parties for any monetary assets or any equivalents of the monetary assets borrowed from these third parties resulting with the recognition of the financial liabilities (interest, provisions, discounts) as well as the loss resulting from the recognition of the decrease in the fair value of the financial assets.
Financial income and costs include also balance of positive and negative foreign exchange differences, both recognized in the repayments of the foreign currency liabilities as well as the valuation of the foreign currency assets and liabilities, excluding foreign exchange differences impacting the purchase price of the produced assets they relate to.
2 Investments in subsidiaries
As at each balance sheet date the Company verifies the carrying amount of finance assets (investments in subsidiaries) to determine whether the assets do not show signs of impairment. Impairment on the investments in subsidiaries is recognized to the recoverable amount if the recoverable amount of these assets is lower than their book value. When book value of the investment is lower than net assets of the Company, Company prepare analysis to identify needs of adjustment valuation of the investments of subsidiaries.
Company evaluates external and internal factors which can influence financial results of subsidiaries (e.g. evaluation of execution planed budgets for the year).What is more Company evaluates micro- and macro-economic factors including currency fluctuations and cost of capital in the markets in which subsidiaries operates.
Impairment of the investments in subsidiaries is determined as the difference between the current present value of these assets from books at the valuation date and present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the
Notes to the Annual Separate Financial Statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
effective interest rate. For such measured value of future discounted cash flows, Company also carried out a sensitivity analysis of the impact of changes in the effective interest rate and currency fluctuations. The value of assets is updated only when the loss of value of the investment is permanent and irreversible in long term.
As at December 31, 2017, Company carried test for entities: AmRest China Group PTE Ltd. and AmRest EOOD. There were no conditions for testing of shares in other companies. According to the assumptions mentioned above, Company did not carry test for AmRest Sp. z o.o.
The discount rate used to calculation is the average cost of capital before tax for particular currencies. As at December 31, 2017 the pre-tax discount rate was 11,49% for China and 7,49% for Bulgaria.
If discount rates in period of 12 months ended December 31, 2017 were bigger/smaller by 3 percentage points, it would not result in recognition of additional impairment provision.
If EBITDA in period of 12 months ended December 31, 2017 were bigger/smaller by 3 percentage points, it would not result in recognition of additional impairment provision.
The discount rate adopted for the calculation is the average cost of capital before tax for the particular currencies.

13 Financial instruments
Fair value estimation
As at financial statement publishing date fair value of financial instruments which are in turnover on active market bases on market quotation. Fair value of financial instruments which aren't in turnover on active market is calculated by using valuation techniques.
The Company uses different methods and assumes assumptions based on market conditions as at each balance sheet date. Fair value of financial assets and investment property available for sale, which aren't in turnover on active market, is calculated with using sector indexes and last available information concerning the investment. Fair value of currency exchange rate option and forwards is calculated based on valuation made by banks which issued the instrument.
The following fair value valuations concerning financial instruments were used by the Company:
- quoted prices (not adjusted) from active markets for the same assets and liabilities (Level 1),
- input data different from quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observed for assets and liabilities directly (as prices) or indirectly (based on prices) (Level 2),
- input data for valuation of assets and liabilities, which don't base on possible to observe market data (input data not observed) (Level 3).
The table below presents financial instruments in the Company, which are not measured at fair value, in their book value and fair value, in division on classes and categories of assets and liabilities:

Letter to the shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
We are pleased to announce the results of AmRest Group achieved in 2017, yet another successful year in our history. Similar to the previous years, we continued dynamic and diversified business growth and made significant steps towards our long-term vision of becoming the #1 ranked restaurant operator in Europe.
Last year our revenues grew by 25% and margins improved in most of our major markets on the back of favorable consumer trends, strengthened position of our brands, accelerated organic growth and M&A activities. Our core business (without M&As) once again delivered on the 20% EBITDA growth target, ranking us among the fastest growing restaurant businesses in Europe. While maintaining the balanced business growth, we continued our efforts to double the company in size within three years, through the enhancement of our core business, M&A activities and investment in the digital business segment.
As indicated before, we have accelerated the pace of organic expansion and opened 210 new restaurants in 2017 (versus 146 in the year before). In addition to the dynamic growth of KFC and La Tagliatella, we increased our investments into Starbucks and Pizza Hut. We are particularly happy about the successful launch of Pizza Hut Express format, enabling significant growth potential for the brand. Today, Pizza Hut Express is already present in four our markets and its further development will be additionally supported by the master-franchise rights for Central Europe, Germany and France.
Looking ahead, our ambition is to accelerate development of our restaurant portfolio as we see a great potential in the current markets of our operations. Solid performance of new openings, improved site selection process and increased effectiveness of capital allocation make us confident to target 300 openings in 2018.
Our diversified growth platform creates new development opportunities and last year we reached several important milestones in this respect. In 2017 AmRest entered three new markets by opening its first KFC locations in Austria and Slovakia, as well as the first La Tagliatella in Portugal. In the meantime, we continued the expansion of our brands in existing markets. Our first Pizza Hut restaurants were opened in the Czech Republic and we also introduced Blue Frog in Europe opening first locations in Spain and Poland. Such a dynamic expansion across the board would not be possible without our strong and effective local teams.
Last year we were also very active in M&A, successfully closing an unprecedented number of nine transactions, mostly within KFC and Pizza Hut brands in Germany, France and Russia. With the addition of 250+ restaurants, we strengthened the position of these brands in our portfolio and increased our exposure to prospective markets of Western Europe. We are convinced that the successful integration and turnaround of those acquired businesses will be a major step on the way to become a leading restaurant operator in Europe.
Recently, the restaurant industry has been heavily impacted by the rapid development of new technologies. Encouraged by these market trends, AmRest continued its investments in Digital, enhancing existing mobile platforms with innovative functions enabling closer interaction with customers. Additionally, through a strategic partnership with Delivery Hero we became a majority shareholder in the online food ordering platform (Pizzaportal.pl) and signed operating agreements for Czech Republic and Hungary. Given the very dynamic growth of our delivery business (in Poland over 30% increase in 2017) and the fact that most of our delivery orders go through digital channels, we are very excited about this partnership. In our opinion, it will significantly enhance the quality of service for our customers and contribute to the future value creation for our shareholders.
This year we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of AmRest. Our long and successful journey, which started with the opening of a single Pizza Hut in Wrocław, has been a showcase of the 'Anything is possible' culture. Today, as a multi-brand restaurant operator, with 1650+ locations across 16 countries, we feel that there is still much more growth ahead of us. Being excited about the future opportunities, we are also fully aware of development and integration challenges. Nevertheless, equipped with the 25-year experience in running restaurant business as well as great commitment of thousands of AmRest Employees, we are confident about our ability to continue this successful journey.
We would like to use this opportunity and thank all our Employees for their passion and devotion in growing the business. Their enormous positive energy fuels our unique organization culture and makes AmRest such a great company.
Management Board of AmRest Holdings SE

2. Description of the Company
2.1. Basic services provided by the Group

Every day over 37 thousand AmRest employees deliver delicious taste and exceptional service at affordable prices, in accordance with our "Wszystko Jest Możliwe!" ("Everything is possible!") culture.

AmRest restaurant menus include brand dishes prepared from fresh products in accordance with original recipes and with KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and KABB chain standards.
AmRest is a franchisee of Yum! Brands Inc. for the KFC and Pizza Hut brands. Starting from October 1st, 2016 the Company as a master-franchisee has the right to granting the license to the third parties to operate Pizza Hut Express and Pizza Hut Delivery restaurants (sub-franchise) in countries of Central and Eastern Europe, while ensuring a certain share of restaurants operated directly by AmRest. Pizza Hut restaurants acquired in France in May 2017 and in Germany in July 2017 are operated both, by AmRest and its sub-franchisees.
Burger King restaurants operate on a franchise basis following an agreement concluded with Burger King Europe GmbH.
Starbucks restaurants in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary are opened by joint-venture companies AmRest Coffee (82% AmRest and 18% Starbucks), which have the rights and licenses to develop and manage Starbucks restaurants. Starbucks stores in Romania and Bulgaria (acquired from Marinopoulos Coffee SEE B.V. in June 2015), Germany (acquired from Starbucks Coffee EMEA B.V. in May 2016) and in Slovakia are operated by the Company on a franchise basis.
La Tagliatella is the own brand of AmRest which became part of the portfolio in April 2011. La Tagliatella restaurants are operated both by AmRest and by entities which operate restaurants on a franchise basis.
Blue Frog and KABB brands became the property of AmRest in December 2012 as a result of purchase of a majority stake in Blue Horizon Hospitality Group LTD.
On March 31st AmRest signed the Investment Agreement with Delivery Hero GmbH and Restaurant Partner Polska ("RPP"). As a result of the agreement AmRest acquired 51% of shares in RPP becoming its majority shareholder. RPP operates PizzaPortal.pl platform - an aggregator collecting offers from 2,500+ different restaurants in ca. 400 cities in Poland, which allows online meals ordering with delivery.
2.2. Restaurants in the Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) segment

Established in 1952, KFC brand is the biggest, fastest growing and most popular chain of quick service restaurants serving chicken meals. There are almost 20 000 KFC restaurants in 120 countries in the world.
Last year was one of the most dynamic period in the history of KFC restaurants run by AmRest. It was the result of the sales and profitability improvement on the existing markets, but also the effect
of the acquisition of KFC business in Germany and France. In 2017 AmRest opened the first KFC restaurants in
Austria and Slovenia. As at the end of last year there were 669 KFC restaurants in AmRest's portfolio, which is 150 more than last year.
The strong dynamics of growth in Central Europe was maintained for all the year. This growth was a result of a continuous realization of the strategy related to the improvement of a general image of the restaurants, the quality of customer service and numerous innovations concerning the product. The brand maintained its strong position in the home delivery channel . Simultaneously, this service was introduced to many new restaurants and to Czech and Hungarian market, which very well-received by our Guests. KFC strengthened its position in "value" segment too – both in case of the basic menu which is B-Smart and others unique products. Among many others new products we rolled out premium burgers and… Also worthy of note is Shake De Lux's innovations…Restaurants
in Poland and Hungary introduced the breakfast offer, which is the perfect complement to the KFC's firm menu. KFC Poland launched in some restaurants the "Skip the line" option, which gives the customers a possibility to order a meal without waiting through the KFC application. In the next few years we can expect even more brand's activities in the new technologies sphere. Costs of work increased on the most of Central Europe's markets and, according to the experts, this trend will retain for the next years. At the same time a visible improvement in the remaining cost areas was observed what allowed to improve the margin significantly so it exceeded the initial assumptions.

The results on the Russian market were very good in 2017 despite the demanding macroeconomic situation in this country. Thanks to the consistently executed strategy of building the brand's strategy, product innovations and the offer in the "value" segment, the income in comparable restaurants noted a strong one digit increase in 2017. Due to the big effort put into strengthening operational processes, KFC brand in Russia has significantly improved their margin. The acquiring of KFC business in new for AmRest region in Russia (Krasnodar) was very successful and newly opened restaurants have delivered satisfying financial result. In selected KFC stores the home delivery service has been introduced, which will be for sure implemented step by step in large scale. What is more, some restaurants have been equipped with self-order kiosks, which was very well-received by our Guests.
KFC restaurants operating in Spain have noted the sales improvement in comparison to the last year, which was the result of introducing and promoting products from the "value" segment. Last year AmRest acquired 3 restaurants, earlier possessed by YUM, and opened 7 new spots, which performances in accordance with expectations. The home delivery service is also currently tested in selected restaurants on Spanish market.
Newly acquired KFC restaurants in Western Europe (Germany, France) are now during the integration with the rest of AmRest businesses. On that stage the process is conducted in keeping with the Management Board's expectations.

In 2017 the brand was very actively engaged in the "Harvest" project, aiming working against food wasting and cooperating with local food banks. Thanks to that project more than 500 thousands meals were given to the most needy people. For now, the project is realised mainly in Poland, to a lesser degree on others selected markets. AmRest's KFC brand is also very active in the workers' commitment segment - both concerning social issues and new-products development. For the second time in a row we organized the "Colonel's Kitchen" contest giving our workers the possibility to invent new products, which may appear in the future menu in our restaurants. This activity is very popular
among AmRest's workers and will be continued in nest years.
At the date of the publication of this report AmRest runs 676 KFC restaurants - 245 in Poland, 156 in Russia, 85 in Czech Republic, 53 in Spain, 50 in Hungary, 43 in France, 23 in Germany, 7 in Croatia and Serbia, 5 in Bulgaria and 1 in Austria and Slovenia.

Founded in 1954, the Burger King brand is the world's second largest fast food burger restaurant chain measured by the total number of restaurants. The Burger King brand is present in more than 100 countries operating over 15 700 restaurants and serving more than 11 million guests on a daily basis. Burger King restaurants are quick service restaurants that feature flame-grilled burgers, chicken and other specialty sandwiches, French fries, soft drinks and other affordably priced food items.
2017 was a successful year for Burger King restaurants operated by AmRest. The brand continued positive trend from previous year and achieved an increase in same store sales (SSS) and in average guest check (AGC). The strongest SSS improvement has been recorded in Czech market. Brand managed to improve profitability, despite strong negative pressure from increasing cost of labor. EBITDA margin adjusted by startups exceeded last year's level in all the countries that the Burger King brand is operated by AmRest.
On top of the successful improvement of financial performance, brand has experienced most dynamic growth for several years. 2017 brought fulfilling acquisition of four restaurants in Poland and five new openings (four in Czech Republic and one in Poland). Further development of the brand will be realized by new openings in top locations.
At the date of publication of this report AmRest operates 54 Burger King restaurants – 41 in Poland, 12 in Czech Republic and 1 in Bulgaria. In May 2017 Burger King was celebrating 10 years on polish market which was accompanied by PR activities and special offers for our guests. The anniversary proved that the consistently implemented brand strategy allows brand's stable development.

In 2017 the brand continued to focus on the operational excellence. In Poland, Czech Republic and Bulgaria Burger King managed to
increase the Guests' satisfaction level thanks to execution of "Service vision" and many investments in the restaurant environment. The implementation of digital menuboards, hot boards (heated table for burgers' preparation) and testing of "pick up order" has resulted in higher AGC (Average Guest Check), improvement of speed of service and overall better brand image perception according to Brand Observer (Millward Brown). It is

worth mentioning that eight restaurants were renovated in "Prime design concept" – a fusion of handcrafted feeling, cheerful graphics, bold color palette and American prints. Additionally new crew uniforms were introduced to every restaurant.
These positive results have also been achieved thanks to the maintaining high brand awareness on the Polish, Czech and Bulgarian market. According to the latest Brand Tracker report the main advantage of Burger King brand is high quality food, mainly in
following categories: great burgers, flame-grilled burgers and best beef. The brand remains committed to the "Better Burger" strategy, which considerably distinguishes it from the competition. For the first time Burger King
introduced in Poland the Tank Burger – an iconic Whopper in a black bun. In cooperation with World of Tanks the advertising campaign has reached big gaming community in Poland (circa 3 million users).
Another prominent successes of 2017 were Value campaigns conducted twice this year. Launch of "Dobre za Drobne" offer in Poland with the set of value products in price from PLN 3.50 product pack "2 za Drobne" and "King of the month" offer in Czech Republic were very well-received by guest's community which was reflected in the financial results. Those activities were supported by outdoor & digital campaigns. Another worth mentioning project in Poland was the cooperation with the popular bitboxer Dharni, which brought over 5 million views on Youtube and created buzz around

the brand. Very time-limited offers called Crazy Days were especially well-received by our most loyal customers.
Having delivered convincing financial results in 2017, the brand shows growing importance of Burger King in the AmRest portfolio and its readiness for further growth. Furthermore, the restaurants continuously enhance the customer's experience by new "Prime design" model as well as follow the commitment to premium products and "Have it your way" spirit of the brand.
As a result of strengthening the relationship between AmRest and Burger King Europe GMBH, in February 2018 the parties signed Development Agreements for Czech and Slovakia markets. According to these contracts AmRest gained the exclusive right to develop further Burger King restaurants in those countries until the end of 2022. In addition, AmRest will take the role of marketing Ad Fund manager for those markets.

Starbucks is the world leader in the coffee sector with more than 27 300 stores in over 70 countries. It offers a broad selection of coffees from different parts of the world, as well as teas, soft drinks and a wide range of fresh food, snacks and desserts. AmRest Coffee (a joint venture between Starbucks Coffee International and AmRest Sp. z o.o.) currently operates Starbucks stores in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary. The stores in Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Germany are 100% owned and operated by AmRest.
In 2017 the brand continued to grow and develop with 40 new stores opened across the countries. Overall the performance of the brand has been good with growth around 4% on average for LfL (Like for like) sales. Czech Republic and Hungary noted the strongest growth with 6% and 8% respectively. The rest of the markets kept a strong single digit growth pattern. Germany and Slovakia are in their first year as reported in AmRest, so do not have LfL numbers.
AmRest continues to drive the growth of the Starbucks brand through in-store experience and design elevation. Supported by digital engagement expressed through Starbucks Rewards loyalty program, mobile application with payment function as well as activity in the sphere of social media. The third level of brand strengthening is the introduction of Starbucks Capsules (compatible with the Nespresso machines) sold in stores as well as sales of Ready-To-Drink (RTD) bottled beverages across selected countries (not under AmRest operations).

A good example of brand elevation can be seen in the attached photographs of two new stores opened in Romania. Starbucks Lipscani store in the old town of Bucharest with a high profile design, coffee theatre for unique coffee experience with alternative brewing methods as well as a comfortable customer area spread over 2 floors and 400 square meters. The second is the first new design Drive Thru at Military shopping center. Reaching out to the changing habits of customers and openness to consume coffee on the go, the Drive Thru channel is one that will see more growth over the coming years. The performance of both units are on financial plan.
Looking at selected geographies, Germany performed above last year's sales, but below forecast. The New Store Opening count was below plan (5 units) as the need to confirm financial model took priority over openings. First two quarters have proven to be more difficult than expected. In quarter three and four the market produced positive results after the most important part of the integration process was concluded. The outlook is very positive, the brand has gotten momentum in top line sales and the cost structures are falling into place as management becomes more knowledgeable and fluent in executing AmRest operational routines. The engagement of partners is also increasing as the initial investment in building improvements (HVAC) and IT eco-system are consistently showing improvement in working conditions. Significant agreements with the workers councils have been achieved at the end of the financial year opening possibilities for further processes roll-out.
In Bulgaria AmRest opened 2 new stores after years of stagnation. Both units are within acceptable variance to the financial goals. Slovakia saw the opening of one unit (4 in total) with good sales results.
Highest growth came from Poland, where the brand opened 12 units and plans to open another 20 in 2018. This is in line with the strategy for strengthening brand accessibility in the country. Romania grew with 8 units and finished the year with 36. Two openings passed on to this year and have successfully already opened.
On the beverage and food side, the brand has rolled out fresh sandwiches in Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. This is after the initial roll-out in Poland in 2016. Freshly made on spot sandwiches help build the fresh and healthy category and support driving sales. In the beverage selection, Shaken Iced Tea's performed very well in the summer driving growth in cold beverage, average ticket and margin. Frappuccino's continued to provide healthy margins and growth. In the beginning of 2018 milk option have been introduced providing Almond, Soya and Coconut version. Cold brew will continue to be an important platform for new products. In

Germany Nitro Cold Brew has been introduced at the Munich Airport store. The roll-out of this product will continue in 2018 at selected locations throughout the seven countries.
At the date of publication of this report AmRest operates 303 Starbucks cafes (137 stores in Germany, 63 in Poland, 34 in the Czech Republic, 20 in Hungary, 38 in Romania, 7 in Bulgaria and 4 in Slovakia).
2.3. Restaurants in the Casual Dining Restaurants (CDR) segment

La Tagliatella is the leading brand of the Italian Casual Dining segment in Spain. Since the first opening in the small town of Reus in year 2003, the brand has expanded quickly across all the Spanish geography through both equity and franchised restaurants.
The success of the concept lies in its high appeal for all types of targets and its convenience for any occasion. Thus, in La Tagliatella it is very common to see families with kids during lunch on Saturday, couples who celebrate a special night and also business partners meeting over lunch during weekdays. Its extensive and varied menu as well as its quality and attractive price have turned it into a reference for other restaurants in Spain.
During year 2017 La Tagliatella has made a special effort to become even more unique and to strengthen its position of being in the forefront of innovation and product development. As every year, a multidisciplinary team has travelled from the most dynamic markets of Italy to the small hidden corners across the Italian geography to discover the new trends and the most authentic and traditional ingredients of the Italian heritage. New small local
producers have been identified to import from them the most exclusive ingredients to be used in La Tagliatella's new creations, adding even more variety and unique flavour to the menu. As an example, the limited production of artichokes from the south of Italy will be collected only for La Tagliatella during 6 weeks when the weather is more favourable for its harvesting. Or the unique Focaccia di Recco (DOP) produced in Recco, small town in the Liguria region close to Genova, filled with stracchino cheese, and brought exclusively for the brand. Or the olive named "tagiascca" of very short production that has been incorporated to several sauces.


Those and other unique ingredients have been chosenby the New Product Development team of the company in order to ensure the best tasting dishes that were incorporated to La Tagliatella new menu during its roll-out in May. The launch campaign included the game 'Le Ricette de la Nueva Carta' (The Recipes of the New Menu) that was promoted in digital media. Through this gamification campaign the consumers were invited to play different online minigames in order to discover the secrets of the new dishes included in the menu, under a theme that built on the brand's storytelling of Italian authenticity, quality ingredients and unique recipes. Together with the new menu La Tagliatella launched also its new web page, more visual and dynamic, with a special focus on highlighting the quality and origin of its ingredients .
In order to ensure the highest standards of service and product quality, La Tagliatella introduced its first training restaurant located in Madrid, where new
joiners are closely supported and monitored to assure a perfect and standardize experience is delivered across the system.
2017 has meant a new record also in number of openings, with 27 new restaurants (including 22 locations operated by franchisees). It is meaningful that we have opened 2 equity free-standing buildings, with its spectacular and iconic design that anchors the traditional Tuscany architecture with the integration of light through a crystal cube.

Regarding international expansion, La Tagliatella came into Portuguese market at the end of 2017 and its performance had a steady growth till the end of the year. Portuguese consumers have rated very
highly our food and ambiance and Expo Lisbon store/restaurant should be only the first of a list of openings in this country.
As at the publication date the portfolio of La Tagliatella consisted of 236 restaurants – 224 in Spain, 9 in France, 2 in Germany and 1 in Portugal.

Pizza Hut is one of the biggest restaurant chains in the world. The brand is rooted in the United States. Inspired by Mediterranean cuisine, it promotes the idea of a pleasant way of spending time among family and friends. In Poland, Pizza Hut leads the way in the casual dining segment with the highest sales volumes and number of Guests visiting its restaurants. Its leadership position is further supported with the "One Brand, Three Channels" strategy,strengthening its expert position in pizza in all consegment.
Last year was another very successful period for Pizza Hut operations. Development of the brand, historically focused on the casual dining segment, accelerated through –dynamic expansion of Pizza Hut Delivery and Pizza Hut Express formats., Recent developments address changing consumers trends and growing importance of the "convenience" being among major consumer needs. It also sets the brand's strategic development directions for the next years.
Pizza Hut Express is the concept enabling the customers to eat their favorite pizza on their way home, to work or while shopping. Restaurants are relatively small, easily accessible in shopping malls, city centers and locations convenient for a business lunch. Besides Poland and Hungary, where the concept appeared earlier in 2017, Pizza Hut Express was also introduced to the Czech Republic. From a customer's perspective, the unique proposition of Pizza Hut Express lays in a fresh hand made pizza prepared within five minutes in front of customers. It is possible thanks to the limited menu and applying a special kind of stove adjusted to fast baking. The unique concept is advertised with the slogan: "We make fresh pizza in 5 minutes" and offers five most popular pizza flavors from Pizza Hut restaurant menu served on a traditional dough, also with the option of cheese in the crust. At the same time, development of Pizza Hut Delivery is the response to quickly growing trends in home delivery segment.
In 2017, AmRest made significant progress in rolling out both concepts. As a result of signing agreements with YUM, AmRest became the master franchisee of PH in France, Germany and Central Europe acquiring more than 200 delivery and express restaurants in Western Europe. In Poland, we continued opening new stores in both concepts. Fast penetration of key cities both in Central and Western Europe is our strategic goal. Last year we opened 26 restaurants in Poland, 7 in Hungary, 2 in Czech Republic, 5 in Russia, 3 in Germany and 6 in France.
Marketing activities in 2017 traditionally started with the Pizza Festival, organized in our restaurants already for the eighth time. This year we took our Guests in the journey around the world, offering new pizza flavors inspired by cuisines of Asia, Europe and America. We introduced three new flavors every two weeks, encouraging our Guests to visit us again. This all-you-can-eat offer was strongly promoted on TV and the Internet.
The spring was started with the great offer of Bestsellers – attractively priced at PLN 19.95 for the medium size pizza. The aim of the offer was to encourage new Guests to try our offer, which drove the transactions growth in our stores.
For us the summer means sun, holidays and long, warm evenings. To fit this picture, we created our next offer – Big Dipper - a huge (59 cm), oblong pizza, perfect for feasting with friends, accompanied with a fresh salad bar, new flavors and lemonades. The offer was supported by billboards and internet campaign. We encouraged big groups of friends to visit us, which increased the average check during that season.
During autumn time Pizza Hut introduced something entirely new. Using the "craft revolution" in the beer market and referring cult Oktoberfest we wanted to encourage men to visit our restaurants, introducing the Beer Fest offer. It consisted of three new pizza flavors based on the unique, beer dough and, of course, beer itself – famous and popular Guinness. Like earlier, the offer was supported by billboards and internet campaign.
During the autumn/winter season, the limited offer in Pizza Hut Express (Winter Flavors) was introduced for the first time. Three new pizza flavors were well-received by our Guests, leading to significant traffic in our restaurants. Well-thought pricing supported also the average check growth.
In addition to the marketing activities, we also focused on the revitalization of our restaurants. New, refreshed concept of Pizza Hut was first opened in Arkadia shopping center in Warsaw. Its key differentiating elements comprise new design, uniforms and pizza flavors and last but not least - an Italian style pizza made in the brick oven. The concept was very well-received by our Guests, driving our topline growth. In 2018 we are planning to further develop this concept in our key locations.
On a digital side, we successfully continued rolling out our loyalty program "My Pizza Hut" – the innovative tool enhancing customers' engagement in brand's activities and driving the visits' frequency in a long term. Since start, the program has gained our Guests' interest, incentivized by a number of special offers and invitations for registering at our platform. During 2017 the number of program's users reached 350 thousand, increasing by 350% versus 2016.
At the date of the publication of the report Pizza Hut runs 105 restaurants in Poland, 124 in France, 71 in Germany, 12 in Russia,13 in Hungary and 2 in Czech Republic. In 2018 the further, very dynamic development is planned on European markets, mainly in Express and Delivery concept, both by organic growth and next acquisitions.

2017 was the 5th year of AmRest presence in China as in 2012 Company acquired Blue Horizon Hospitality Group – the founder of two casual dining brands present in various cities located in eastern part of the country:
Blue Frog Bar & Grill — restaurants serving classic American bar and grill cuisine along with Asian inspired favorites in a modern, inviting atmosphere.
KABB Bistro Bar — premium segment restaurant, serving the favorites of "western cuisine" along with a wide selection of wine and drinks.
As a continuation of strategic direction announced in Q4 2016, last year we accelerated the speed of Blue Frog development in China but also introduced the brand in Europe, opening first restaurants in Spain and Poland. In February 2017 AmRest acquired the minority stake of Blue Horizon becoming the 100% owner of the Company and Brands. This move was accompanied by a change of the Blue Frog leadership both on global as well Chinese levels. A new position of Blue Frog President was created, which showed the growing importance of casual dining brands for the Company, but also its interest in establishing solid position in China.

China as a very dynamic market with very positive outlook and growth opportunities, but also requires a lot of focus and attention to operational challenges driven by faster than ever pace of new stores development. In 2017 AmRest China opened 11 new venues – reaching to new cities of Shenzhen in the South and Wuhan in the Central

part of the country. Also, its position in the main centers of Shanghai and Beijing was strengthened with addition of two and three new stores respectively. The Central Kitchen model supported by efficient logistic structure remains an effective solution for Blue Frog operations.. Additionally, with recent expansion to "new territories" (e.g. Shenzhen), we focused on local differentiating factors such as understanding customers' taste profile, price perception or demand for Western cuisine. Some menu "reengineering" works were initiated last year, which results shall be visible in early 2018. Also last year gave lots of stimulus to design and décor "renewing" works, which will drive the flexibility in
adjusting the venue model to local requirements and also reduce investment costs. Latest openings set the standards for future development, but also gave the direction for renovation of mature restaurants. The remodeling program shall continue in 2018 and will enrich guests experience across the country.
In 2017, AmRest China made significant progress in all the three strategic areas of Division's development: further integration with European business of AmRest, strengthening the brand through improved customer offer, brand positioning and geographical reach as well as implementation of processes and systems enabling dznamic expansion.
In line with the medium-term strategy, the Blue Frog brands crossed Chinese boundaries and opened its first stores in Europe. In September 2017 "Parque Sur" venue in Madrid started its operation, followed by "Wroclavia" opening in October in the home city of AmRest in Poland. Both venues represent the best of Blue Frog China - from design to menu proposition.. What is important is the fact that "classic" Blue Frog menu in both cases was adjusted to local guests' needs and flavors. Spanish Blue Frog represents more of the "New York" flavors –with its flatbreads and steaks, while Polish one

offers also good selection of soups and bigger offer of cocktails and drinks. In both cases however the burgers represent the best within this category. Parque Sur and Wroclavia are already well recognized by their customers which bodes well further brand expansion in Europe.
As at the publication date, AmRest owns 43 Blue Frog Bar & Grill and 4 KABB Bistro Bar restaurants in China, one Blue Frog in Spain and one in Poland.
3. Structure of revenues
Revenues of AmRest Group amounted to PLN 5 266m in 2017, growing by 25% compared with the previous year (PLN +1 058m). Key drivers behind such a dynamic growth were:
- maintained positive sales trends in comparable restaurants (LFL) on all key markets of Group's operations. In some of the markets double-digit growth was observed,
- historically high number of new openings. In 2017 AmRest opened 210 new restaurants (vs 146 in 2016),
- consolidation of revenues from recent M&As (acquisition of Starbucks chain in Germany (May 2016), 15 KFC restaurants in Germany (March 2017), Pizza Hut Delivery chain in France (May 2017) and Pizza Hut network in Germany (August 2017), 21 KFC stores acquired in Russia (October 2017), finalizing the acquisition of 42 KFC restaurants in France (37 stores taken over in Q4 2017) and acquisition of 51% stake in Pizzaportal.pl business by end of August 2017). Consolidated revenues of abovementioned businesses amounted to PLN 780m in 2017.
Excluding the sales of newly acquired businesses the revenues of the Group in 2017 amounted to 4 485m and were 624m higher than in 2016 (16% growth vs last year).

TABLE 1. AMREST GROUP'S SALES BY DIVISION
*Revenues of SCM Group and Pizzaportal.pl
The seasonality of sales and inventories of AmRest Group is not significant which is typical for the whole restaurant industry. In the CE region restaurants achieve lower revenues in the first half of the year, which is the result of lower number of days of sales in February as well as relatively less frequent visits of customers in restaurants.
4. Supply chain
2017 was the year of good harvest and, on the other hand, of the increase of inflation for selected groups of raw materials. The situation on cereal market was quite stable. After the raise of prices, that we noticed in the first half of a year, in the second half some decreases and stabilization appeared, because of the good harvest and high stocks. Global markets of oilseeds looked similar, what favored maintaining low prices of the products produced based on these materials.
After very low harvest of potato in 2016, in 2017 sowing areas were increased and high harvest was responsible for relatively low prices of that product. However, due to the low quality of the material, the productivity of the potato used for production decreased, what influenced on the increase of final products' prices, f.e. fries. This situation may have unfortunately the influence on the reduction of sowing areas in the next season, because of reducing the crops' profitability and may cause the materials' costs increase.
The chicken market was stable as well, mainly thanks to low fodder's prices supplied by the good harvest. At the same time the poultry sector in the region continuing its development and investments increased its export competitiveness.
The milk and dairy market after the stabilization time came into the period of increases initiated already in 2016. The reason was the downturn in production on the south hemisphere and the growing demand for cheese and butter inside European Union reinforced by the import from countries like China, United States and Mexico. The end of the year brought decreases on the milk market, which should remain for the next months.
The dispersal of the African swine fever (ASF) had a significant effect on the pork prices. Only in Poland the sickness took around 2m of pigs. This factor will be also relevant on global pork market in 2018, which may limit the export possibilities. The second important factor is strong rate of EUR vs USD, which exacerbate the competitive of EU's pork. However the increase in investments noted in 2017 can be the positive forecast for the future.
The increase of beef prices was caused mainly by growing export on the Middle East, especially to Turkey. Moreover, Poland received the "free of BSE" (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, so called mad cow disease) status, which gives us more possibilities to export. The positive impact on the prices may have the Ministry of Agriculture's program helping pigs farmers to change their sector of operation into the cattle business.
Thanks to the continuing of the purchase strategy, the AMRest's inflation assumptions for the main groups of products have been managed to accomplish. Its basic elements, which were realized last year and will be continued in the following period are as follows:
- Continuing cooperation with long-standing, solid partners and building long-term business relations,
- Cooperating only with approved suppliers, who maintain the highest QA standards and food safety,
- Following the situation on the world raw materials market and the events which can have the influence on their prices what facilitates taking appropriate decisions in appropriate time,
- Following materials' price-generating events, like embargo, changes on financial markets, diseases, weather etc.,
- Developing the local suppliers chain to increase the competitiveness and reduce currency risk,
- The regional purchases' consolidation, which will enable introducing new technologies in order to improve effectiveness and decrease production costs,
- Supporting new products' development as part of Innovation Center based on the newest market trends,
- Cooperating with experts and market leaders,
- Introducing environment-friendly packages mainly based on recycle materials with maintaining the highest quality standards and binding law.

Consolidated revenues of AmRest Group grew by 25% over the year amounting to PLN 5 266m in 2017. Strong top line growth resulted mainly from continued positive LFL trends in all major markets of Group's operations, dynamic pace of new openings and intensified M&A activities. The revenues of AmRest adjusted by the impact of acquired businesses (all major M&As starting from Starbucks Germany in May 2016) amounted to PLN 4 485m, representing a 16% growth over the year.
The most dynamic sales growth was reported in Western Europe (+40%). Revenues in Spain grew by 11% in 2017, supported by positive LFL trends and accelerated pace of new openings. The remaining part of growth came from consolidation of acquired businesses in Germany (Starbucks, KFC, Pizza Hut) and France (Pizza Hut, KFC). As a result, the share of Western Europe in total revenues of AmRest increased to 32%. The revenues of Central Europe in 2017 amounted to PLN 2 634m. Key factors contributing to the 17% growth were solid LFL trends (double-digit growth in some markets) and a record-high number of new openings (117 new restaurants added to portfolio in CE in 2017). Russian division grew 30% top line in 2017, driven by positive LFL, new openings as well as addition of 21 KFC stores through M&A in October 2017. In 2017 the Group also benefited from the appreciation of ruble (in local currency revenues grew by 21%). In China, the 16% sales growth in 2017 came mostly from a dynamic expansion of Blue Frog brand (AmRest opened 11 new restaurants in China).

* EBITDA adjusted by costs of new openings (start-up), costs of mergers and acquisitions (all material costs relating to professional services, connected with finalized merger or acquisition and directly related to the transaction), corrections in indirect taxes and the effect of SOP exercise method modification (difference in accounting cost of employee benefits accounted under cash settled versus equity settled option plan).
In 2017 the operating profit (EBIT) of the Group amounted to PLN 267m (PLN -1m vs 2016), while EBIT margin decreased by 1.3pp to 5.1%. Solid top line growth across the board and maintained cost discipline in core business allowed for the Group to mitigate the negative impact of labor cost pressure and expenses related to its activity in M&As. In 2017, positive trends continued in cost of sales (-0.7pp vs 2016), which partially offset increasing payroll (+1.2pp vs 2016) and G&A costs (+0.4pp). The EBIT margin was also supported by a decrease in depreciation cost (-0.1pp), driven by savings in new stores' average build costs and relatively lower depreciation expenses in acquired businesses.
The EBITDA of the Group in 2017 reached all-time high level of PLN 630m, growing 13% over the year. In the meantime, EBITDA margin decreased by 1.2pp to 12%. At the same time, the core business of AmRest continued solid performance, resulting in strong profitability improvement. EBITDA of the Group, adjusted by the impact of acquisitions (Starbucks, KFC and Pizza Hut in Germany, KFC and Pizza Hut in France, KFC in Russia and Pizzaportal.pl) and related transaction costs, grew by 20% in 2017. Respective EBITDA margin of the core business reached 14.6% and was 0.5pp higher than a year ago.
In 2017, performance of the core business stood behind solid results achieved in particular divisions of AmRest Group. In Central Europe, positive LFL trends and disciplined cost management translated into 18% EBITDA growth over the year. EBITDA margins strengthened by 0.2pp to 15% in 2017. The improvement in profitability was mostly driven by continued downward trend in cost of sales (-1.2pp vs 2016) and relatively lower rental cost (-0.3pp), which offset the impact of labor cost pressure and higher pre-opening expenses. Similar to previous years, the markets of Czech Republic and Hungary performed exceptionally well (EBITDA profit in 2017 increased by 25% and 58% respectively and margins reached 19.6% and 16.4% respectively). In Poland EBITDA margin decreased by 0.5pp over the year due to the raising payroll, only partially covered by relatively lower food cost rents.
Solid business performance continued in Russia, with EBITDA profit growing by 41% to PLN 71m in 2017. EBITDA margin improved by 0.9pp to the level of 11.8%. Such results were mainly achieved through savings in food cost, rents, maintenance and G&A expenses.
Nearly 5% EBITDA growth was noted in Western Europe, mostly on the back of strong results reported by Spain (EBITDA of Spanish market grew by 16% and the margin reached a record level of 22.6%). The results of other Western European countries in 2017 were under the pressure from recent acquisitions. The performance of acquired in 2017 chains of KFC and Pizza Hut in France and Germany is currently weaker than the mature business in Central Europe. AmRest's focus on integration of these markets is expected to improve the profitability in the future. It is worth mentioning, that the first positive signs of turnaround are visible in Starbucks in Germany. In Q4 2017 the chain reported the second consecutive positive EBITDA for a quarter.
In China AmRest continued further expansion of Blue Frog brand. Growing scale (11 new stores opened in 2017) and improved efficiency in cost of labor and G&A drove the 66% increase in EBITDA. Meantime, EBITDA margin improved by 2.9pp reaching 9.5% in 2017.
Within the 'Unallocated' segment, the PLN 26m increase of costs over the year was mainly driven by consolidation of Pizzaportal.pl, acquired in September 2017 as well as one-off notary fees related to the acquisition of KFC in France.
Net profit of the Group, attributable to AmRest shareholders, amounted to PLN 182m (PLN -8m vs 2016). Such a result came from further improvement of operating profitability in Core business, which was balanced by the costs of strengthening future growth platform through a number of M&A projects in 2017.
The long-term debt ratio amounted to 1.49 at the end of 2017 (vs 0.90 year ago), driven by the growth of longterm debt necessary to finance the accelerated pace of new openings and recent acquisitions. Net debt calculated for contractual covenants as at the end of 2017 amounted to PLN 1 430m. Net debt/EBITDA ratio amounted to 2.21.

6.7. Major events with a significant impact on the Company's operations and results
On January 25th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest announced the signing of a Share Purchase Agreement ("SPA"), dated January 24th, 2017, between AmRest and Top Brands NV ("Seller"). Pursuant to SPA AmRest will acquire 100% shares of Pizza Topco France SAS ("Pizza Topco") at estimated price of ca. EUR 14m (approx. PLN 61m). Final purchase price will be determined as at the day of closing of the transaction.
Pizza Topco is the exclusive master franchisee of Pizza Hut Delivery restaurants across France. At the date of the SPA signing Pizza Topco operated 123 restaurants, the majority of which are managed by franchisees. The equity restaurants (7 locations) are managed by Pizza Delco France SAS ("Pizza Delco"), a company owned in 100% by Pizza Topco. In 2016 fiscal year the network generated the system sales of approx. EUR 67.6m (PLN 295.6m). The consolidated revenues of Pizza Topco amounted to ca. EUR 14.5m (approx.. PLN 63.4m).
Both parties intended to close the transaction within couple of months. The completion is contingent upon a number of conditions, such as: standard Material Adverse Change clause ("MAC"), approval from the Supervisory Board of AmRest, signing of a master franchise agreement with YUM! Restaurant Holdings (Pizza Hut brand owner), etc.
The acquisition of Pizza Topco fits perfectly the plans of accelerated development of the Pizza Hut brand initiated by signing in August 2016 the master franchise agreement for Central and Eastern Europe countries. AmRest intends to develop in France both the Pizza Hut Delivery and Express concepts.
On May 16th, 2017 Management Board of AmRest Holdings SE ("AmRest") annouced the Completion of a SPA between AmRest and Top Brands NV. As a result of the Completion AmRest acquired 100% shares of Pizza Topco France and changed the name of Pizza Topco into AmRest Topco France SAS. The purchase price at the day of closing of the transaction amounted to EUR 12.3m (approx. PLN 51.5m).
All the approvals and conditions the Completion was contingent upon in accordance with the SPA have been obtained and fulfilled - among others, the master franchise agreement (the "MFA") with Pizza Hut Europe Sarl (US Branch) ("PH Europe") has been signed. According to the MFA AmRest, as the exclusive master-franchisee, have the right to granting the license to the third parties to operate Pizza Hut Express and Pizza Hut Delivery restaurants (subfranchise) in France and Monaco, while ensuring a certain share of restaurants operated directly by the Company. The MFA was granted for initial period of 10 years with an option of further prolongations upon the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions. In order to facilitate the growth of scale of Pizza Hut business, PH Europe introduced an incentive mechanism reducing certain fees incurred by AmRest under the MFA ("Reduced Fees 1"), provided that the Company meets certain development obligations specified in the MFA. Upon entry into force of the MFA AmRest is required to open and operate Pizza Hut Express and Delivery restaurants in accordance with the development schedule setting the minimum number of openings in the subsequent years of the Agreement's term. If AmRest fails to meet the development obligations, PH Europe will have the right to increase the Reduced Fees 1 and change the terms or terminate the MFA. The Company's intention is to open more than 150 Pizza Hut restaurants in the French market within 5 years.
On January 25th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest announced signing on January 24th, 2017 the Binding Head of Terms 1 determining the key terms and conditions on, and subject to which, KFC France SAS ("KFC France") would be willing to proceed with a potential transaction with AmRest whereby (i) KFC would sell and AmRest would buy 42 equity restaurants run by KFC France ("KFC Business") in the French market, and (ii) KFC and the Company would sign a Development Agreement ("Development Agreement 1") and Standard KFC International Franchise Agreement for each restaurant (collectively called the "Contemplated Transaction 1").
The purchase price for the KFC Business is subject to the results of a due diligence to be carried out by AmRest.
It is the intention of AmRest and KFC France that the final agreements (the agreements required for closing of the Contemplated Transaction 1) shall be signed no later than April 30th, 2017, and closing of the Contemplated Transaction 1, including transfer of ownership of KFC Business and payment of the purchase price shall occur no later than June 30th, 2017. If the parties fail to sign the final agreements by August 1st, 2017 the Head of Terms 1 shall terminate immediately, unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties.
In the opinion of the Management Board of AmRest there is a great potential for growing KFC brand in Western Europe. Acquisition of a number of KFC French restaurants will contribute to strengthening the partnership with Yum! Brands and AmRest's leadership position of restaurant operator in Europe as well as drive the value creation for AmRest's shareholders.
On July 12th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed about signing on the same day the Framework Agreement ("Framework Agreement 1") between AmRest ("Buyer A") and KFC France SAS ("KFC France", "Seller"). Under the terms of the Framework Agreement 1 Buyer A was to acquire 42 equity restaurants run by KFC France in the French market, and Seller and the Company were to sign a Development Agreement 1 and Standard KFC International Franchise Agreement for each restaurant. Estimated purchase price is expected at ca. EUR 39.9 million (ca. PLN 169 million). Final purchase price will be determined as at the day of the transaction closing. Estimated revenues of the restaurants in the twelve months period ended on April 30th, 2017 amounted to EUR 99 million (ca. PLN 420 million). It is the intention of the parties of the Framework Agreement 1 that the closing of the transaction, including transfer of ownership of KFC business and payment of the purchase price, shall occur till end of the year 2017 (the "Completion"). The Completion is contingent upon some additional conditions, such as concluding additional agreements ensuring restaurants proper functioning after Completion, and lack of the Material Adverse Change ("MAC"). According to the Development Agreement 1 to be signed before the Completion, AmRest intends to open about 150 KFC restaurants in the French market by end of 2023.

As the result of the Contemplated Transaction 2 AmRest would become the master-franchisee for 74 restaurants currently operated by multiple sub-franchisees in the German market and, and would have the right to grant the license to the third parties to operate Pizza Hut restaurants (subfranchise). Additionally the Company would acquire 2 Pizza Hut equity restaurants ("Equity Business 1") from PH Delivery. The purchase price for the Equity Business 1 is subject to the results of a due diligence to be carried out by AmRest. The Head of Terms 2 provides for signing of the agreements required for the acquisition of the Equity Business 1 from PH Delivery ("Purchase Agreements 2") as well as certain agreements with Yum: International Franchise Agreement for each of the equity units and the Master Franchise Agreement ("MFA 2"). It is the intention of the parties that the MFA 2 and the Purchase Agreements 2 shall be signed and closed (including transfer of ownership of the Equity Business 1 and signing of sub-franchised agreements under the MFA 2) no later than May 30th, 2017. If the parties fail to sign the MFA 2 and the Purchase Agreements 1 by that date the Head of Terms 2 shall terminate immediately, unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties. In the opinion of the Management Board of AmRest there is a great potential for growing international presence of Pizza Hut brand in Europe. The master franchise rights for another country will contribute to strengthening the partnership with Yum! Brands and AmRest's leadership position of restaurant operator in Europe.
On May 30th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed about signing on the same day the Amendment to Head of Terms 2. The Amendment extended the term of Head of Terms 2, and simultaneously the period during which the agreements required for the acquisition of the equity business from PH Delivery and the MFA 2 with Yum were to be executed to July 31th, 2017.

KG (subsidiary of AmRest, "Buyer") and PH Delivery. As a result of the Completion 2 the Buyer acquired two Pizza Hut delivery restaurants in Dusseldorf. The purchase price amounted to EUR 1 (approx.

The MFA 2 was granted for initial period of 10 years with an option of further prolongations upon the fulfillment of certain terms and conditions. In 2016 the network generated the system sales of approx. EUR 55m (PLN 239m) and consolidated revenues of ca. EUR 4m (approx. PLN 17.4m). In order to facilitate the growth of scale of Pizza Hut business, Yum introduced an incentive mechanism reducing certain fees incurred by AmRest under the MFA 2 ("Reduced Fees 2"), provided that the Company meets certain development obligations specified in the MFA 2. Upon entry into force of the MFA 2 AmRest is required to open and operate Pizza Hut Dine in, Express and Delivery restaurants in accordance with the development schedule setting the minimum number of openings in the subsequent years of the MFA's 2 term. If AmRest fails to meet the development obligations, Yum will have the right to increase the Reduced Fees 2 and change the terms or terminate the MFA 2.

As a result, AmRest took over the newly issued shares in RPP – the operator of PizzaPortal.pl platform in Poland, and became its majority shareholder, holding 51% of total number of RPP shares. The outstanding 49% of shares remained in the possession of Delivery Hero.
The acquisition price for the 51% of shares in the RPP was agreed at PLN 10 million. In addition, the parties of SHA committed to make investment in the RPP in the amount of PLN 14 million (PLN 7 million each) in the first quarter of 2018.

According to the IA, in the coming months AmRest will also start the partnership with Delivery Hero's subsidiaries in Czech Republic and Hungary - DameJidlo.cz and NetPincér.hu. Both platforms are the market leaders in online food ordering industry. PizzaPortal.pl, DameJidlo.cz and NetPincér.hu platforms are expected to significantly enhance the operation of food delivery segment within AmRest.
The Management Board of AmRest believes that the partnership with Delivery Hero will make the offer of Company's operated brands more accessible to new customers and substantially increase AmRest's market share in delivery segment. In the long term, this should have a positive impact on creating value for the Company's shareholders.

On April 25th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed about signing on April 24th, 2017 the Binding Head of Terms (the "Head of Terms 3") determining the key terms and conditions on, and subject to which, Pizza Hut Europe Sarl US Branch ("PH Europe") and Yum Restaurants International Russia and CIS LLC ("PH Russia") would be willing to proceed with a potential transaction with AmRest, whereby the Company's controlled entity (the "Subsidiary") would become Pizza Hut master franchisee for Russia and acquire 18 Pizza Hut restaurants operated by PH Russia ("Contemplated Transaction 3"). As the result of the Contemplated Transaction 3 AmRest's controlled entity would become the master-franchisee for 36 restaurants currently operated by multiple sub-franchisees in Russia and would have the right to grant the license to the third parties to operate Pizza Hut restaurants (subfranchise) in that market.
Additionally the Subsidiary would acquire 18 Pizza Hut equity restaurants ("Equity Business 3") from PH Russia. The purchase price for the Equity Business 2 is subject to the results of a due diligence to be carried out by AmRest.
The Head of Terms 3 provides for signing of the agreements required for the acquisition of the Equity Business 2 from PH Russia ("Purchase Agreements 3") as well as certain agreements with PH Europe: International Franchise Agreement for each of the equity units and the Master Franchise Agreement ("MFA 3"). It is the intention of the parties that the MFA 3 and the Purchase Agreements 2 shall be signed and closed (including transfer of ownership of the Equity Business 3 and signing of sub-franchised agreements under the MFA 3) no later than September 30th, 2017. If the parties fail to sign the MFA 3 and the Purchase Agreements 3 by that date the Head of Terms 3 shall terminate immediately, unless otherwise agreed in writing by both parties.
In the opinion of the Management Board of AmRest there is a great potential for growing the presence of Pizza Hut brand in Russia. The master franchise rights for another country will contribute to strengthening the partnership with Yum! Brands and AmRest's position as restaurant operator in the Russian market.
On June 6th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed about signing on June 5th, 2017 an Agreement granting an option to enter into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Option") between OOO AmRest (AmRest Russia), being 100% subsidiary of AmRest, and Svetlana Mikhailovna Popova aimed at acquisition by AmRest Russia of 21 KFC restaurants operating in the Russian market ("KFC RU Business"). The purchase price will be determined as at the day of the transaction closing. Estimated revenues of the KFC RU Business in the year 2016 amounted to RUB 1 376 million (ca. PLN 98 million). The parties of the Option intend to sign the Share Purchase Agreement and, consequently, close the transaction within next couple of months. The Completion will be contingent upon some additional conditions, including obtaining antitrust approvals, concluding additional agreements ensuring restaurants proper functioning after Completion, and lack of the Material Adverse Change ("MAC"). In the opinion of the Management Board the transaction is a great opportunity to strengthen AmRest presence in Russia, where the Company currently operates 120 KFC restaurants.
On October 3rd, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed about the Completion on October 2nd, 2017 of a Share Purchase Agreement between AmRest Russia and Svetlana Mikhailovna Popova aimed at acquisition by AmRest Russia of 21 KFC restaurants operating in the Russian market. As a result of the Completion AmRest Russia acquired KFC RU Business for the price of RUB 1 655 million (ca. PLN 105 million).
All the approvals and conditions the Completion was contingent upon have been obtained and fulfilled.
On June 27th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed that the Company signed on June 26th, 2017 an agreement concerning the issue of Schuldscheindarlehen ("SSD 2") debt instrument under German law for the total value of EUR 75 million. The expected date of incurring the liabilities was July 3rd, 2017. SSD 2 issue was to be aimed at diversification of AmRest's debt financing sources. The proceeds will be used for the development of the Company and refinancing of its debt.
On July 4th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed that on July 3rd, 2017, as a result of the issue of SSD 2 debt instrument, the Company incurred liabilities for the total value of EUR 75 million (approximately PLN 318 million). The SSD 2 interest is fixed on the following tranches: EUR 45.5m - repayment due on July 1st, 2022 and EUR 20m - repayment due on July 3rd, 2024. EUR 9.5m tranche was issued with variable interest rate and repayment date of July 3rd, 2024. The role of the Lead Arranger and Paying Agent was entrusted to Erste Group Bank AG with CaixaBank S.A. and Bank Zachodni WBK S.A. acting as Co-lead Arrangers.
On July 28th, 2017 the Management Board of AmRest informed about a transfer proposal of the Company's registered office from Poland to Spain. The Transfer will not impact the current Company's listing on the Warsaw Stock Exchange S.A. The Company's share capital will not change either. However, the Company's Statute will be changed, and the rights and obligations of shareholders will be governed by Spanish law. Pursuant to Article 8(10) of the SE Regulation, the Transfer shall take effect on the date on which the Company is registered by the relevant Commercial Registry ("Registro Mercantil") in Spain as a Spanish-registered Societas Europaea, which registration is anticipated to take place in March 2018. The appropriate documents such as the Transfer proposal, proposed New Statute and Management Board report justifying the transfer were attached to the regulatory announcement RB 190/2017 dated July 28th, 2017.
On October 5th, 2017 the Extraordinary General Meeting of AmRest adopted a resolution on the approval of the international transfer of the registered office to Spain and amendment to the Statute as well as the approval of the adaptation to Spanish regulations and the adoption of Spanish nationality. The General Meeting, after examination of the Transfer Proposal and Management Report Justifying the Transfer both dated July 28th 2017, approved the transfer of the seat from Plac Grunwaldzki 25-27, Wrocław (Republic of Poland) to calle Enrique Granados, 6, 28224, Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid (Spain) and amended the Company statute by derogating the current text in force and approve the new wording which is adapted to the nature of the Company as a European public limitedliability company domiciled in Spain. The General Meeting, resolved to approve the Company's adaptation to Spanish law and, hence, its adoption of the Spanish nationality. To these effects, among others the follow matters were approved:
-
New Regulations of the Company's General Shareholders' Meeting, the wording of which is adapted to the nature of the Company as a European public limited-liability company domiciled in Spain:
-
Modification of the Company's administration system: the change of current administration system (made up of a management body and a supervisory board, based on a two tier system) to a one tier system, establishing a "board of directors" (in Spanish: consejo de administración) comprised of 7 directors, as the Company's administrative body and dismissal of all members of the management board and the supervisory board.
-
Appointment of following people as members of the Company's board of directors, for the 4- year period established in the new Statute:
1) Mr. José Parés Gutiérrez
- 2) Mr. Carlos Fernández González
- 3) Mr. Luis Miguel Álvarez Pérez
- 4) Mr. Henry McGovern
- 5) Mr. Steven Kent Winegar Clark
- 6) Mr. Pablo Castilla Repáraz
- 7) Mr. Mustafa Ogretici
The Company's adaptation to Spanish law, will apply from the date when the Commercial Registry of Madrid registers the Company as a Spanish-registered Societas Europaea and, therefore, the registered office's transfer becomes effective.
Furthermore, the General Meeting resolved to authorize the Company's Management Board, with express powers of sub-delegation, to perform, acting jointly by at least two members of the Management Board, all and every legal and factual act that is necessary or appropriate to ensure the proper execution of any actions that are necessary or merely convenient to take in the jurisdiction of Spain for the complete execution of the resolutions and the transfer of domicile.
On October 6th 2017, The Management Board of AmRest informed about signing on October 5th, 2017 a Senior Term and Revolving Facilities Agreement ("the Credit Agreement") between AmRest, AmRest Sp. z o.o.("AmRest Poland") and AmRest s.r.o. ("AmRest Czech") – jointly "the Borrowers" and Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A., Powszechna Kasa Oszczędności Bank Polski S.A., ING Bank Śląski S.A and Česká spořitelna, a.s. – jointly "the Lenders". AmRest Poland and AmRest Czech are 100% subsidiaries of AmRest.
Based on the Credit Agreement, the Lenders grant to the Borrowers a credit facility in the approximate amount of EUR 430 million, about PLN 1 848 million (committed at signing, tranches A-D), which can be extended by additional amount of roughly EUR 145 million, about PLN 623 million (two uncommitted tranches – E and F). The facility shall be repaid by September 30th, 2022 and is dedicated for repayment of the obligations under the credit agreement signed on September 10th, 2013, financing of AmRest growth and working capital management.
The following 4 tranches are committed at signing: Tranche A - EUR 250 million, Tranche B - PLN 300 million, Tranche C - CZK 300 million and Tranche D granted as a revolving credit facility - PLN 450 million. Additionally, facility comprises 2 Tranches that may be committed during term of the Credit Agreement, subject to Lender's approval: Tranche E, PLN 280 million, that may be dedicated to repayment of Polish bonds and Tranche F, PLN 350m, that can be used for general corporate purposes.
All Borrowers bear joint liability for any obligations resulting from the Credit Agreement.
Majority of the facility is provided at variable interest rate and a part of tranche A is provided on fixed rate.
AmRest is required to maintain certain ratios at agreed levels, in particular, net debt/EBITDA is to be held below 3.5x and EBITDA/interest charge is to stay above 3.5.
On February 27th, 2018 the Management Board of AmRest announced signing on the same day the Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement (the "SSHA") with LPQ Russia Limited, based in London, United Kingdom ("the Partner").
The SSHA defined the main terms and conditions of cooperation between the Company and the Partner aimed at developing a restaurant business in the bakery segment in Russia through a newly-formed corporate structure. As a result, AmRest will become a majority shareholder, holding 51% stake in newly created company ("NewCo"). The remaining 49% stake will be held by the Partner. NewCo will own and control its subsidiaries: the operating entity in Russia and the trademarks holding company (altogether "the Structure").
Currently the Partner owns the trademarks of "Хлеб Насущный" (Xleb Nasuschny), "Филипповъ" (Philippov) "Hаш хлеб" (Nash Khleb) and "Андреевские булочные" (Andreevsky Bulochnye) (jointly: "Trademarks").
The cooperation assumes the contribution of Trademarks to the Structure by the Partner. AmRest will invest EUR 6m (six million Euro) into the Structure with the purpose of developing the restaurant business in Russia.
Intention of the parties is to finalize the transaction by June 2018, which is a subject to fulfilment of conditions precedent defined in SSHA.
The Management Board of AmRest believes that described partnership and expansion into bakery sector will increase Company's footprint in the Russian market, enhance its product portfolio and broaden the customer base. The above is expected to strengthen AmRest's position in the restaurant sector in the region as well as be a source of value creation for AmRest shareholders in the future.
6.8. Information on significant transactions with related parties concluded by the Issuer or its subsidiaries on terms other than market's conditions
In the reporting period there were no transactions with related parties concluded within the AmRest Group on terms other than market's conditions.
6.9. Major achievements of the Company in the field of research and development
The Company does not conduct research and development activities. Innovative products introduced to the menu of restaurants operated by AmRest are described in sections 2.2 and 2.3 of this Report.
7. The AmRest Holdings SE Group in 2017
7.1. Planned investment activities and assessment of their feasibility
Investment activities of AmRest Group are focused on strengthening its leadership position and further expansion of scale in Europe a through dynamic organic development and M&A activities. Additionally, continued improvement of operating efficiency and increased effectiveness in capital allocation support long-term value creation for shareholders.
In 2017 AmRest significantly increased the pace of organic growth and opened 210 restaurants. Management of the Company recognized ample white space for continued expansion within existing portfolio in current markets of operations. Additionally, the potential for new stores development increased as a result of M&A projects realized in 2017 in the markets of Western Europe. Similar to the master-franchise agreement for development of Pizza Hut Express and Delivery concepts in CE, in 2017 the Company was granted similar rights for Germany and France. This will further support the portfolio roll out in Europe. All the above-mentioned factors will contribute to accelerated pace of organic growth in 2018.
AmRest monitors recent developments in the M&A market for the potential acquisition targets that would fit in the strategy of the Group. Current portfolio of the Company as well as existing markets of operation are the two filters of potential M&A activity.
Recent dynamic growth of delivery segment, expansion of online food ordering platforms as well as promising initial results of adding chosen AmRest's brands to Pizzaportal.pl encourage to continue investing in this segment. Long-term ambition of the Group is building a leadership position of food delivery segment in restaurant markets of Europe.
The plan of new openings will be adjusted on an on-going basis to the current market conditions and access to attractive locations in each country. Management of the Group is very restrictive and selective in allocation of available capital to ensure minimum 20% IRR on each investment.
AmRest Management assumes the long-term growth to be financed mainly with own funds and debt financing.
7.2. External and internal factors which are significant to the Company's development
Listed below are the factors that, in the opinion of the Management Board, had a significant effect on the Company's future development and results.
7.2.1. External factors
The external factors include:
- competitiveness in terms of prices, quality of service, location and quality of food,
- demographic changes,
- consumer habits and trends as to the number of people using the restaurants,
- number and location of the competitors' restaurants,
- changes in the law and regulations which have a direct effect on the functioning of the restaurants and the employees employed therein,
- change in real estate rental costs and related costs,
- changes in the prices of ingredients used to prepare meals and changes in the prices of packaging materials,
- changes in the general economic condition in Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Russia, Serbia, Croatia, Romania, Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany and China.
- changes in consumer trust, the amount of disposable income and individual spending patterns,
- changes in legal and tax determinants,
- adverse changes on the financial markets.
7.2.2. Internal factors
The internal factors include:
- gaining and training the human resources necessary for the development of the existing and new restaurant networks,
- obtaining attractive locations,
- effective launching of new brands and products,
- building an integrated information system.
8. Basic risks and threats to which the Company is exposed
The Management Board of AmRest is responsible for the risk management system and the internal control system as well as for reviewing these systems for operating efficiency. These systems help identify and manage risks which may prevent the execution of the long-term objectives of AmRest. However, having these systems in place does not ensure complete elimination of the risk of fraud and violation of the law. The Management Board of AmRest performed a review, an analysis and a ranking of risks to which the Company is exposed. The main current risks and threats have been summarized in this section. AmRest reviews and improves its risk management and internal control systems on an on-going basis.
8.1. Factors remaining outside the Company's control
This risk is related to the effect of factors remaining outside the Company's control on AmRest's development strategy which is based on opening new restaurants. Such factors include: opportunities for finding and securing available and appropriate locations for restaurants, the ability to obtain the permits required by relevant bodies, the possibility of delays in opening new restaurants.
8.2. Dependency on the franchisor
AmRest manages KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King and Starbucks (in Romania, Bulgaria, Germany and Slovakia) as a franchisee, and therefore a number of factors and decisions related to the business activities conducted by AmRest depend on the limitations or specifications imposed by the franchisors or on their consent.
The duration of the franchising agreements related to the KFC, Pizza Hut and Burger King brands is 10 years. AmRest has the option of extending this period for the next 10 years provided that it meets the conditions specified in the franchising agreements and other requirements, including the payment of the related continuation fee.
Despite meeting the above-mentioned terms, there is no guarantee that after the expiry of these periods a given franchising agreement will be prolonged to the next period. In the case of KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants, the first period commenced in 2000, in the case of Burger King, the first period commenced in 2007 with the opening of the first restaurant of this brand.
Franchise agreements for Starbucks stores in Romania are valid till 2023, in Bulgaria until 2027 and in Germany until 2031.
8.3. Dependency on joint venture partners
AmRest opens Starbucks restaurants through joint venture Companies in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, based on a partnership as part of joint venture agreements. Therefore, some decisions as part of the joint business activities will be dependent on the partners' consent.
The joint venture agreements with Starbucks were concluded for a period of 15 years with a possibility of their extension for the next 5 years upon meeting the specified conditions. Should AmRest fail to comply with the obligation to open and run the minimum specified number of cafés, Starbucks Coffee International, Inc. shall have the right to increase its share in the joint venture companies by acquiring shares from AmRest Sp. z o.o. at a price agreed between the parties based on the valuation of the joint venture companies.
8.4. No exclusive rights
The franchising agreements concerning the running of KFC, Pizza Hut and Burger King restaurants do not contain provisions on granting AmRest any exclusive rights on a given territory, protection or any other rights on the territory, in the area or on the market surrounding AmRest restaurants. However, in practice, due to the scale of AmRest's operations (including a well-developed distribution network), the possibility that a competitive operator (to the brands currently operated by the Company) should appear who would be able to effectively compete with the AmRest Group restaurants is relatively limited.
In the case of Starbucks restaurants, the joint venture companies are the only entities authorized to develop and run Starbucks cafés in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary, without exclusive rights to some institutional locations. The exclusive rights apply also to restaurants operated in Romania, Bulgaria, Germany and Slovakia.
8.5. Rental agreements and continuation options
Almost all AmRest restaurants operate in rented facilities. The majority of the rental contracts are long-term and they are usually concluded for at least 10 years from the date of commencing the rental (assuming that all continuation options are exercised, on specified terms, and not including contracts which are subject to periodic renewal, unless they are terminated, and contracts concluded for an indefinite period). A number of rental contracts grant AmRest the right to prolong the contract provided that the Company complies with the terms of rental. Regardless of whether the terms are complied with or not, there is no guarantee that AmRest will be able to prolong a rental contract on terms satisfactory from the point of view of business practice. If this is not possible a potential loss of important restaurant locations may have an unfavourable effect on AmRest's operating results and its business activities.
Moreover, in certain circumstances AmRest may make a decision to close a given restaurant and terminating the relevant rental contract on cost effective terms may prove impossible. This situation may also have an adverse effect on the business activities and operating results of the Company. Closing any of the restaurants is subject to approval by the franchisor and it is not certain that such approval will be obtained.
In the case of Russian and Chinese restaurants acquired by AmRest accordingly in July 2007 and December 2012, the average term of the rental contracts is relatively shorter compared with AmRest restaurants in the remaining countries. This results from the specific nature of the Russian market.
8.6. Risk related to the consumption of food products
Consumer preferences may change in connection with doubts arising as to the healthful properties of chicken which is the main ingredient in KFC menu, or as a result of unfavourable information being circulated by the mass media concerning the quality of the products, diseases caused by them and damages to health as a result of eating in AmRest restaurants and restaurants of other franchisees of KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and KABB, and as a result of revealing unfavourable data prepared by the government or a given market sector concerning the products served in AmRest restaurants and restaurants of other franchisees of KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and KABB, health-related issues and issues related to the functioning patterns of one or more restaurants run both by AmRest and the competition. The abovementioned risk is limited by using the highest quality ingredients in AmRest restaurants, which come from reliable and reputable suppliers, compliance with strict quality control and hygiene standards and the use of top modern equipment and processes which ensure the absolute safety of the meals.
8.7. Risk related to keeping key personnel in the Company
The Issuer's success depends to some extent on the individual effort of selected employees and key members of management. The methods of remunerating and managing human resources developed by the Issuer help ensure a low rotation of the key personnel. Additionally, the career planning system supports preparing successors ready to execute tasks in key positions. The Issuer believes it will be able to replace its key personnel. Regardless of that, their loss may have a short-term adverse effect on the business activities and operating results of the Issuer.
8.8. Risk related to labour costs of restaurant employees and employing and keeping professional staff
Running catering activities on such a large scale as the Issuer does requires employing a large number of professionals. Excessive outflow of employees and too frequent changes in managerial positions may pose a significant risk to the stability and quality of the business activities. Due to the fact that salaries in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary (including in the catering sector) are still decidedly lower than in other European Union countries, there is a risk of outflow of qualified staff and thus a risk of the Company being able to ensure the appropriate staff necessary for providing the highest quality catering services. In order to avoid the risk of losing qualified staff it may be necessary to gradually increase the salary rates, which may have an adverse effect on the financial standing of the Issuer. Additional risk in employment area may be caused by fluctuations in unemployment rate.
8.9. Risk related to limited access to foodstuffs and the variability of their cost
The Issuer's situation is also affected by the need to ensure frequent deliveries of fresh agricultural products and foodstuffs and anticipating and responding to changes in supplies costs. The Company cannot rule out the risk related to delivery deficits or interruptions caused by factors such as unfavourable weather conditions, changes in legal regulations or withdrawing some foodstuffs from trading. Also the increased demand for certain products accompanied by limited supply may lead to difficulties in obtaining them by the Company or to price increases for those products. Both the deficits and product price increases may have an adverse effect on the Group's results, operations and financial standing. In order to mitigate this risk (among others) AmRest Sp. z o.o. concluded a contract with SCM Sp. z o.o. for the provisions of services comprising intermediation and negotiating terms of delivery to restaurants, including negotiating terms of distribution agreements.
8.10. Risk related to developing new brands
AmRest has operated the Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and KABB brands for a relatively short time. As these are new concepts for AmRest, there is a risk related to demand for the products offered and their acceptance by customers.
8.11. Risk related to opening restaurants in new countries
Opening or taking over restaurants operating in a new geographical and political area involves the risk of varying consumer preferences, a risk of insufficient knowledge of the market, the risk of legal restrictions arising from local regulations and the political risk of these countries.
8.12. Currency risk
The results of AmRest are exposed to currency risk related to transactions and translations into currencies other than the currency in which business transactions are measured in the individual Capital Group companies. The Company adjusts its currency portfolio of debt to the geographical structure of its profile of activities. Additionally, AmRest uses forward contracts to secure transaction risks on a short term basis.
8.13. Risk related to the current geopolitical situation in the Ukraine and Russia
Russia is one of the largest markets for AmRest. The recent geopolitical and economic turmoil witnessed in the region, in particular the developments in Ukraine, have had and may continue to have a negative impact on the Russian economy, including weakening of the Russian Ruble, higher interest rates, reduced liquidity and consumer confidence. These events, including current and future international sanctions against Russian companies and individuals and the related uncertainty and volatility of the supply chain, may have a significant impact on the Group's operations and financial position, the effect of which is difficult to predict. The future economic and regulatory situation may differ from management's expectations however it is being monitored in order to adjusts strategic intentions and operational decisions, which will minimize business risks.
8.14. Risk of increased financial costs
The Issuer and its subsidiaries are exposed to the significant adverse impact of interest rate fluctuations in connection with obtaining financing which bears floating interest rates and investing in assets bearing floating and fixed interest rates. The interest rates of bank loans and borrowings and issued bonds is based on floating reference rates which are updated over periods shorter than one year. Interest on financial assets with fixed interest rates is fixed over the entire period to maturity of these instruments. Additionally, the Issuer and its subsidiaries may, as part of the interest rate hedging strategy, enter into derivative and other financial contracts the valuation of which is significantly affected by the level of reference rates.
8.15. Liquidity risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of lack of financing at the moment of maturity of bank loans and bonds. As at 31 December 2017, the Company has enough short-term assets, including cash and promised credit limits, to fulfil is liabilities due in the next 12 months.
8.16. Tax risk
In the process of managing and making strategic decisions, which can affect the tax settlements, AmRest Company is placed at tax risk. All abnormalities present in tax settlements cause also the increase of the risk of dispute in case of potential fiscal supervision. As part of these risks' minimalization, AmRest cares about deepening its workers knowledge about tax risk management and legal provisions' following. The Company introduces also adequate procedures, which should make it more easier to identify and then limit or eliminate the risks in tax settlements. Moreover, with regard to often changing laws, provisions' incoherence and different tax law interpretations, AmRest uses the professional tax advisory services and claims for binding tax law interpretation.
Current fiscal supervisions are presented in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at December 31st , 2017.
8.17. Risk of economic slowdowns
Economic slowdown in the countries where AmRest runs its restaurants may affect the level of consumption expenditure on these markets, which in turn may affect the results of the AmRest restaurants operating on these markets.
8.18. Risk related to seasonality of sales
The seasonality of sales and inventories of AmRest is not significant, which is typical for the restaurant industry. On the European market restaurants record lower sales in the first half of the year, mainly due to the lower number of sale days in February and the relatively less frequent visits to restaurants.
8.19. Risk of computer system breakdowns and temporary breaks in serving customers in network restaurants
A potential partial or complete loss of data in connection with computer system breakdowns or damage or loss of key tangible fixed assets of the Company might result in temporary interruptions in serving customers in restaurants, which might have an adverse effect on the Group's financial results. In order to minimize this risk, the Issuer has implemented appropriate procedures in order to ensure the stability and reliability of IT systems.
9. Company's strategic development directions
AmRest's strategy is to leverage its unique "Anything Is Possible" culture, international capability and superior brand portfolio to grow scalable (min. USD 50m annual sales) and highly profitable (min. 20% IRR) restaurants globally.
In the upcoming years, the Group plans to strengthen its leadership position of restaurant sector in Europe. The growth will be mainly driven by increased pace of new openings (expected min. 300 openings in 2018) as well as continued consolidation of European restaurant markets through potential M&A activities. Additionally, AmRest will focus on integration of recently acquired businesses and further development of delivery and online food ordering platform.
Given the market potential and favourable macro trends, the Company will focus on further expansion of KFC, Starbucks, La Tagliatella and Pizza Hut Express and Delivery brands. The latter one will be developed in connection with the master-franchise agreements for Pizza Hut Express and Delivery formats in CE, Germany and France.

Appendix No. 2: Corporate Governance
1. Statement of compliance with the Code of Best Practices for WSE Listed Companies
AmRest Holdings SE, which shares are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, makes every effort to apply the principles of corporate governance stipulated in "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016".
Referring to the Principles adopted by Resolution No. 26/1413/2015 of the Warsaw Stock Exchange Supervisory Board dated October 13th, 2015 (effective from January 1st, 2016), The Management Board of the Company informs that it applies most of the recommendations and principles contained in Best Practices. The list of practices that are not applied, together with justifications, is presented below.
According to the current status of compliance with the Best Practice, the Company does not apply:
-
4 recommendations: IV.R.2., VI.R.1., VI.R.2., VI.R.3.
-
5 detailed principles: II.Z.7., IV.Z.2., VI.Z.1., VI.Z.3., VI.Z.4.
Not applied recommendations:
IV.R.2. If justified by the structure of shareholders or expectations of shareholders notified to the company, and if the company is in a position to provide the technical infrastructure necessary for a general meeting to proceed efficiently using electronic communication means, the company should enable its shareholders to participate in a general meeting using such means, in particular through:
1) real-life broadcast of the general meeting;
2) real-time bilateral communication where shareholders may take the floor during a general meeting from a location other than the general meeting;
3) exercise of the right to vote during a general meeting either in person or through a plenipotentiary.
Recommendation is not applied.
Comments of the Company: The recommendation is applied in the scope referred to in IV.R.2.3). The Issuer enables the shareholders to use the institution of proxies at the General Meeting of the Company. The proxies receive voting instructions from individual shareholders.
AmRest has not yet implemented the functionality of bilateral real-time communication, which allows the shareholders to remotely participate in the general meeting.
The Company decided that voting via the Internet involves too many technological, legal and image risk elements, such as:
• Difficulties in certifying the identity of the shareholders
• Technological barriers, e.g. overload of Internet connection and delays in the transmission of image, which may negatively impact the dynamics of the discussion at the meeting, and even cause breaks in the sessions, which in turn can lead to an allegation of breaching the rights of the shareholders who came to the GSM in person, reserving an adequate amount of time for it.
• The responsibility of the Issuer for a potential break of connection with the General Meeting (also such which results from a lack of equipment ensuring fast, stable Internet connection at the part of the shareholder) and the risk of a reputation loss related with it in the case when a shareholder is unable to participate in the GM and exercise the voting right. A break of Internet connection and the inability of a shareholder to vote may result in not adopting a resolution during the meeting or a later claim against it.
The company has not until now received any propositions regarding a need to introduce remote participation in the vote from its shareholders.
AmRest does not ensure the recommended real-life broadcast of the general meeting, but it records the course of the proceedings. The video recording is promptly publicized on the Company's website and is available in the General Meeting tab. The company does not exclude the possibility that it will apply this recommendation in the future.
VI.R.1. The remuneration of members of the company's governing bodies and key managers should follow the approved remuneration policy.
Recommendation is not applied.
Comments of the Company: In the Issuer's enterprise, the level of remuneration of the Management Board is discussed with the Company's Supervisory Board, and the level of remuneration of the Supervisory Board is determined by the General Meeting. It was left in the competence of the statutory bodies to determine the remunerations of the members of the Company's bodies. However, the governing bodies of the Company are in the process of analyzing the rationale of developing the remuneration policy in a form of document in the future.
VI.R.2. The remuneration policy should be closely tied to the company's strategy, its short- and long-term goals, long-term interests and results, taking into account solutions necessary to avoid discrimination on whatever grounds.
Recommendation is not applied.
Comments of the Company: The bonuses being a part of remuneration of members of the Management Board and key managers as well as their benefits from the stock option plans are closely tied to the company's shortand long-term goals, long-term interests and results. However, the remuneration regulations functioning in AmRest have not been drawn up in a form of document. The governing bodies of the Company are in the process of analyzing the rationale of developing the remuneration policy in a form of document.
VI.R.3. If the supervisory board has a remuneration committee, principle II.Z.7 applies to its operations.
Recommendation is not applied.
Comments of the Company: The composition of the Remuneration Committee meets the criteria specified in principle II.Z.7. AmRest doesn't apply this recommendation because the terms of reference of Remuneration Committee were not created in a form of formal document. The Supervisory Board is in the process of analyzing the rationale and the possible method of implementing the recommendation in the future.
Not applied detailed principles:
II.Z.7. Annex I to the Commission Recommendation referred to in principle II.Z.4 applies to the tasks and the operation of the committees of the Supervisory Board. Where the functions of the audit committee are performed by the supervisory board, the foregoing should apply accordingly.
Principle is not applied.
Comments of the Company: AmRest applies this corporate governance rule in a wide scope, but it should not be considered as fulfilled because the terms of reference of Remunetration Committee were not created in a form of formal document. AmRest applies this corporate governance rule with respect to the Audit Committee. The Supervisory Board is in the process of analyzing the rationale and the possible method of implementing this corporate governance principle with respect to the Remuneration Committee in the future.
IV.Z.2. If justified by the structure of shareholders, companies should ensure publicly available real-time broadcasts of general meetings.
Principle is not applied.
Comments of the Company: AmRest does not ensure the recommended real-life broadcast of the general meeting, but it records the course of the proceedings. The video recording is promptly publicized on the Company's website and is available in the General Meeting tab. The company does not exclude the possibility that it will apply this recommendation in the future.
VI.Z.1. Incentive schemes should be constructed in a way necessary among others to tie the level of remuneration of members of the company's management board and key managers to the actual long-term financial standing of the company and long-term shareholder value creation as well as the company's stability.
Principle is not applied.
Comments of the Company: As at today, this corporate governance principle is applied partially. There are two incentive schemes functioning within AmRest - Employee Stock Option Plan and Management Incentive Plan, but only the second one is designed in the way defined in principle VI.Z.1.
VI.Z.3. The remuneration of members of the supervisory board should not be linked to options or other derivatives or any other variable components, and neither should it be linked to the company's results.
Principle is not applied.
Comments of the Company: This principle is not applied, because one of the members of the Company's Supervisory Board is employee within AmRest Group - and therefore is a beneficiary of the incentive schemes functioning in the Company.
VI.Z.4. In this activity report, the company should report on the remuneration policy including at least the following:
1) general information about the company's remuneration system;
2) information about the conditions and amounts of remuneration of each management board member broken down by fixed and variable remuneration components, including the key parameters of setting the variable remuneration components and the terms of payment of severance allowances and other amounts due on termination of employment, contract or other similar legal relationship, separately for the company and each member of its group;
3) information about non-financial remuneration components due to each management board member and key manager;
4) significant amendments of the remuneration policy in the last financial year or information about their absence;
5) assessment of the implementation of the remuneration policy in terms of achievement of its goals, in particular long-term shareholder value creation and the company's stability.
Principle is not applied.
Comments of the Company: The remuneration policy has not been developed in a form of document yet. AmRest discloses in the Appendix 2 to its Directors' Report the information on remuneration and number of options for AmRest shares granted to the Management and Supervisory Board Members. The Management Board together with the Remuneration Committee will analyze the rationale and the possible method of implementing this corporate governance principle in the Company and decide on adoption of this principle or non-compliance with it.
The document "Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies 2016" is available on the official website of the Warsaw Stock Exchange devoted to the corporate governance of listed companies (www.corp-gov.gpw.pl, in "Regulations" tab).
Statement of AmRest's compliance with the Code of Best Practices for WSE Listed Companies 2016 is available on the Company website (section "Investors", tab "Corporate Governance").

AmRest restaurant menus offer high quality dishes made from fresh products, based on original recipes and standards of KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Starbucks, La Tagliatella, Blue Frog and KABB restaurants.
The following table briefly presents the operating model for various brands. A detailed description of various brands is presented in chapter two of the Consolidated Report of the Management Board 2017.
| Brand | Method of management | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starbucks coffee shops in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary are opened by AmRest Coffee joint venture companies (82% AmRest and 18% Starbucks Coffee International Inc.), which hold rights and licences necessary to develop and manage Starbucks coffee shops. Starbucks coffee shops in Romania and Bulgaria were purchased from Marinopoulos Coffee SEE B.V. in June 2015. Starbucks coffee shops in Germany were purchased from Starbucks Coffee EMEA B.V. in 2016. In Slovakia, it operates its own coffee shops, based on a franchise agreement with Starbucks EMEA Ltd. |
|||||||
| For the KFC brand, AmRest is the franchisee of Yum! Brands Inc. The first AmRest managed KFC was opened in 1995 in Szczecin, Poland.

In July 2007, AmRest took over 22 KFC restaurants in Russia. In 2017, AmRest took over 15 restaurants in Germany and opened the first restaurants in Austria and Slovenia. Currently, AmRest operates KFC restaurants in 12 markets. |
|||||||

Since 1 October 2016 the Company, as the master franchisee, has the right to grant a licence to third parties to operate Pizza Hut Express and Pizza Hut Delivery restaurants in Central and Eastern European countries, ensuring the specific share of restaurants directly operated by AmRest. For Pizza Hut restaurants purchased in France in May 2017 and in Germany in July 2017, AmRest is also the master franchisee who holds the exclusive right to grant licences to other franchisees. In 2017, AmRest opened its first Pizza Hut restaurant in the Czech Republic. Currently AmRest operates Pizza Hut restaurants in 6 markets. |
|||||||
| Burger King restaurants operate on the franchise basis and an agreement signed with Burger King Europe GmbH. In May 2007, AmRest opened the first Burger King restaurant in Warsaw, in Złote Tarasy Shopping Centre. AmRest manages Burger King restaurants in Poland, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. |
|||||||
| La Tagliatella is AmRest own brand, which became a part of the portfolio in April 2011. La Tagliatella restaurants are operated by AmRest, as well as by entities to which the Company leases the rights to operate restaurants on the basis of a franchise agreement. |
|||||||
| The Blue Frog brand became the AmRest property in December 2012 following the purchase of the majority stake in Blue Horizon Hospitality Group LTD. In 2017, the minority shareholder was bought out and AmRest became 100% owner of the business in China and thus, a 100% brand owner. In 2017, the company began the expansion of the Blue Frog brand in Europe, by opening the first restaurants in Poland and in Spain. |
|||||||
| The KABB brand became the AmRest property in December 2012 following the purchase of the majority stake in Blue Horizon Hospitality Group LTD. In 2017, the minority shareholder was bought out and AmRest became 100% owner of the business in China and thus, a 100% brand owner. |
|||||||
| On 31 March 2017, AmRest signed an investment agreement with Delivery Hero GmbH and Restaurant Partner Polska ("RPP"). Under the agreement, AmRest purchased 51% of RPP shares and became the majority shareholder of the company. RPP runs the PizzaPortal.pl website, an aggregator which gathers offers from more than 2,500 restaurants in nearly 400 Polish cities and which offers the customers an option to buy meals online with home delivery. |
In 2017 the AmRest Group strategy was directed towards the development of proven and mature portfolio brands. In practice, this translated into the development of the KFC and Starbucks networks in Europe, and the further growth of scale of the La Tagliatella network in Spain.
The adopted business model secured a rapid growth for the AmRest Group and satisfactory financial results, while respecting the natural environment and, most of all, focusing on customers.
The following table presents the growth rate of the AmRest Group from 2015 to 2017 (including both its own restaurants and franchise restaurants).

In 2017 the number of AmRest's own restaurants increased by 247 units (as a result of organic growth, acquisition and restaurant closings), including first AmRest-managed restaurants in Austria (KFC), Slovenia (KFC) and Portugal (La Tagliatella). On the markets where AmRest has been previously present new brands were introduced: Blue Frog in Poland and Spain and Pizza Hut in Czech Republic.

4. Risk management and non-financial risks
The AmRest Holdings SE Group (AmRest) identifies the financial and non-financial risks and manages them in its companies and at the Group's level. The risk management system, the internal control system and the review of effectiveness of such systems is supervised by managers responsible for the functions, and ultimately by the Management Board of AmRest Holdings SE (Management Board of AmRest).
The Management Board of AmRest performed a review, analysis and classification of risks to which AmRest is exposed.
The Global Internal Audit and Internal Control Department (Audit Department) plays a major role in risk management; this Department reports directly to the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board of the Group. As defined in the Internal Audit Charter, tasks of the Audit Department include, among others:
- identification of risks and opportunities in AmRest,
- recommendation of solutions that address identified risks and opportunities
- monitoring and verification of implementation of remedial actions declared by managers responsible for audited processes or functions.
AmRest developed a model to systematize the approach to the risk identification, evaluation and management. One of the elements of the model is the Risk Map, which contains risks arising out of the specific nature of AmRest activities. These risks break down to strategic, financial, operational and compliance risks and are periodically evaluated by the AmRest management. The Risk Map is one of the sources of information in the process of creating the annual and long-term Audit Plan.
AmRest analyses the risks and improves its risk management systems and the internal control systems on the ongoing basis.
Below we present the risks that may have a considerable adverse effect on operating areas of AmRest related to personnel, social, environmental issues as well as corruption prevention and respect for human rights.
TABLE 3.4. RISKS THAT MAY HAVE A CONSIDERABLE ADVERSE EFFECT ON OPERATING AREAS OF AMREST RELATED TO HUMAN RESOURCES, SOCIAL, ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AS WELL AS CORRUPTION PREVENTION AND RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS.
Issues: S - social, HR - human resources, E - environmental, PHR - protection of human rights, CP - corruption prevention
| Risk | Risk description | Possible considerable adverse effect on the issues: |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | HR | E | PHR | CP | |||
| Risk related to consumption of foods |
Consumer preferences regarding the AmRest product offering may change as a result of new nutrition trends or unfavourable information about the products or the quality of products sold in restaurants of brands managed by AmRest. This risk is alleviated by using the highest quality ingredients in AmRest restaurants – sourced from reputable suppliers, by complying with strict standards of quality and hygiene control and by using the latest equipment and processes that ensure the safety of products and food sold. |
| | |
| Risk related to keeping the personnel on key positions |
The excessive turnover of key personnel may be a severe risk factor for the stability and quality of the activities. The system of remuneration and management of human resources developed by AmRest guarantees a low level of rotation at key positions. In addition, the career planning systems allows the company to prepare successors who are ready to perform tasks at key positions within the company. |
| ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Risk related to labour costs associated with employees and employment and retention of professional staff |
The excessive turnover of staff may be a severe risk factor for the stability and quality of the activities. There is a risk of turnover of qualified staff and thus the risk of keeping the catering services at the highest possible level. To avoid the risk of losing qualified staff, it may be necessary to gradually raise salaries. AmRest puts focus on creating a friendly, attractive workplace, where the employees and their diversity are respected. |
| | | ||
| Risk of non compliance of AmRest activities with legal regulations and business ethics standards. |
The risk of non-compliance of AmRest activities with domestic and international and/or internal regulations and business ethics standards. AmRest addresses this risk with the support of appropriate internal processes and functions (Legal, OHS, HR, Internal Audit, Internal Control, etc.) and by using third-party consultants (legal, tax, environmental protection, OHS, etc.). In addition, besides the management and operational structure responsible for risk management, AmRest has appointed an Ethics Committee and a CSR Committee, consisting of representatives of AmRest managerial staff and employees. |
| | | | |
| Risk of lack of support for ethical rules by the top management and non-ethical behaviour of staff. |
Ethical rules adopted by the company might not be supported by the top management, which may cause a weakness in the corporate control systems and jeopardize the goals of the company. This may increase the risk that the employees, by not following the ethics rules, will act dishonestly; for example, they may commit fraud or other abuse. AmRest prevents this risk by, among others, propagating the Supreme Values and ethical behaviour described in the Code of Business Conduct. To address this risk, the Ethics Committee was appointed, responsible for resolving issues related to ethics in business. In addition, AmRest has developed guidelines, monitors the implementation of the CSR Strategy and has developed the CSR Committee, which consists of the top managerial staff and members of the AmRest Management Board. |
| | | | |
| Social and environmental risks (CSR viewpoint) |
Having implemented the Code of Business Conduct and the CSR Strategy, AmRest prevents, among others, the following risks: - negative perception of the company by the public in connection with undue care paid by AmRest to social/public interest; - lack of awareness and sensitivity of managers with regard to the ethics and rules of responsible business; - major negative impact of the company's operations on the natural environment and health; - inadequate response to environmental trends; - damage to the AmRest's reputation caused by AmRest cooperation with unethical suppliers of low reputation; |
| | | | |
| - the lack of public knowledge of AmRest involvement in the | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| implementation of goals in the area of ethics and responsible | |||||
| business; | |||||
| - unethical practices by AmRest and AmRest employees. | |||||
5. Policies to prevent corruption and results of such policies
The AmRest Holdings SE Group (AmRest) has not identified the need to develop a separate policy for corruption prevention at the Group level to date. The issues of corruption prevention are regulated in AmRest in the Code of Business Conduct among others, which applies to all of the managerial staff and all the employees and contractors of the Group, as well as it lays down the standards for relations with customers, business partners, media, local authorities and communities.
AmRest has also implemented procedures and systems that apply to procurement processes (direct, indirect and investment procurement, as discussed in chapter 8) that minimise the risk of corruption.
For example, in the area of indirect procurement a procedure has been implemented to describe the process of purchasing products and services related to overheads. This document lays down responsibilities of the procurement process participants in all entities the AmRest Group. The procedure defines the stages of the procurement process and the requirements to be met by the staff involved in the selection of suppliers and offers. In accordance with this procedure, the persons who participate in the procurement process are obliged to sign a declaration on the lack of the conflict of interest.
The AmRest Management Board is regularly informed of any inconsistencies related to the risk of corruption and is actively involved in risk management in this area. The Global Internal Audit and Internal Control Department plays a major role in preventing all the abnormalities and corruption.
AmRest employees are able to report all the abnormalities and suspected acts of corruption, via the following channels of communication:
- direct contact with their superior,
- a report to the HR Department, Internal Audit, Internal Control,
- anonymous or public notification via the violation reporting system, including corruption related reports.
In 2017, no corruption behaviour was identified in the AmRest Holdings SE Group.
6. Environmental issues: a description of policies of the AmRest Holdings SE Group and their results
Given the different legal regulations in the countries where AmRest operates and the rapid development of the Group in new markets, the AmRest Holdings SE Group has not developed a uniform environmental policy at the level of the entire Group.
The environmental issues and priorities are presented in "The strategy of responsible business and sustainable development of the AmRest Central Europe Division for 2015 – 2020". In accordance with its Strategy, AmRest tries to act in an environmental friendly manner in all of its operating areas. Goals set for the companies of the Central Europe Division include, among others, reduction in consumption of energy and water in restaurants, reduction in energy consumption in the offices and increased consumption of recycled materials in product packaging.
Individual AmRest companies implement solutions to minimise the impact of operational activities of coffee stores and restaurants on the natural environment. This particularly applies to the issues of energy efficiency and waste management. These solutions are, in many cases, strictly related to the specific nature and procedures defined for the specific brand managed by AmRest.
The AmRest Management Board analyses the environmental impact of the company's operations and the possibilities of environmental-oriented optimisation, among others as part of the comprehensive risk management. Organisational units at the level of individual companies are responsible for environmental issue management.
In Poland, the Internal Control Department monitors the issues related to proper waste management. The Energy Team in the Facility Management Department is responsible for the costs of utility consumption and the costs and consumption of energy and the issues of environmental protection.
Managers of the individual coffee stores and restaurants also play an important role in management of AmRest environmental impact.
Energy efficiency
Our everyday actions and habits have an impact on the natural environment. By optimising the operations of the coffee stores and restaurants managed by AmRest and by educating staff in using various equipment and in energy saving, we contribute to reduction in costs and reduction in CO2 emissions.
Most of the coffee stores and restaurants managed by AmRest in Poland have introduced an electricity consumption remote monitoring system. This system facilitates analysis of detailed data on energy consumption in various locations, prevention of energy waste and seeking of optimisation solutions. AmRest plans to install the electricity consumption remote monitoring system in all restaurants soon.
In Poland, KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants and Starbucks coffee stores use procedures optimised for energy efficiency in operation of electrical devices. These procedures are described in information materials for the staff. In 2018, such information materials for the employees will be prepared on the basis of results of the analysis of energy efficiency of electrical devices used in Burger King restaurants. In addition, managers and employees of coffee stores and restaurants in Poland will receive general materials about electricity saving and rules of waste management, via the Intranet and by e-mail.
Examples of solutions used in Poland and other countries to reduce energy consumption:
- we use motion detectors to switch on/off light in service rooms and toilets; we also use energy-saving fans,
- we use energy-saving air-conditioners with heat pumps; KFC restaurants use smooth control of ventilation efficiency,

In most of newly built coffee stores and restaurants managed by AmRest (KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut and Starbucks brands), the toilets are equipped with washbasins with energy-saving taps and proximity sensors.
In connection with rapid development of the company in many markets, AmRest has not implemented the waste generation monitoring system that would support detailed reporting of the total mass of waste generated in all the coffee stores and restaurants in all the countries. The companies report waste management in accordance with requirements of the local law of a given state. The Group is working on the system to centralise reporting of this issue and the option of full, consolidated reporting of waste generation level for the entire Group.
In 2017 AmRest generated and handed over to the main waste collector a total of 2,753 tons of waste in Poland, where 9 tons was waste qualified as hazardous waste. In addition, some coffee stores and restaurant locations generated waste disposed into bins of Shopping Centre Operators - AmRest keeps no separate records for such waste.
In some markets, AmRest minimises its considerable adverse impact on the environment by following the policy of separation and sale of spent oil from restaurants to entities which use this waste to manufacture biofuels.

In 2017, AmRest was obliged to pay additional fees related to environmental impact in the total amount of PLN 584,600. These were:
- a. Poland: increased fees for exceeded pH standards or substances such as phosphorus, suspension, anionic and non-ionic surfactants, etc. in some of its restaurants (depending on the location).
- b. Poland: a fine for exceeding the noise standard for KFC Powsinka and KFC Dantex
- c. Spain: a fine of €72,000 for the identified incorrect pH of waste and failure to clean the grease trap in the restaurant.
7. Employee issues: a description of policies of the AmRest Holdings SE Group and their results
The success of the AmRest Holdings SE Group is based on the "Everything is possible!" culture of values deeply rooted in the history of the company, where the employees are one of its key pillars. It is the AmRest's ambition to create a safe and friendly workplace that values diversity and fosters employee development.
The cultural diversity is a typical feature of AmRest as an international organisation, which is treated as a source of inspiration. The company creates an inclusive culture, which translates, among others, to openness and care that the company pays to hiring staff and the disabled. In Poland, 5.25% of all employees hired by AmRest under contracts of employment are disabled employees.
As on 31 December 2017 AmRest Holdings SE employed 38,273 employees (31,325 under contracts of employment and 6,948 under civil law agreements) in 16 countries, out of which 36,482 employees in Europe and Russia (contracts of employment and civil law agreements), and 1,791 employees in China (contracts of employment and civil law agreements).
7.1. Policies
All employees and AmRest Holdings SE must follow the AmRest Code of Ethics, which governs the ethical standards in the Group. It is a set of rules and standards of ethical behaviour followed by AmRest and its staff in everyday work. The Code carries an obligation for the employees to follow the rules, by stressing the importance of diversity and respect at the workplace. The issues that govern relations among the employees as described in the Code of Conduct through the following actions:
- AmRest's support for actions which foster building of positive relations;
- lack of tolerance in the company for any behaviour that constitutes harassment, mobbing or violence at the workplace;
- ensuring equal growth opportunities for the employees, promotion of diversity;
- zero tolerance for any signs of discrimination;
- compliance with the principles of equality at all stages of employment, including during the recruitment process;
The policy applicable within the entire AmRest Holdings SE Group is the Diversity Policy. The policy supports creation of such a working environment at AmRest where all employees feel respected and appreciated, where they can fully utilise their potential, which contributes to the success of the entire organisation.
Another global policy in the field of HR is the Talent Acquisition and Retention Policy.
Given:
- the rapid growth of operations and entering into new markets in 2017,
- high diversity of specifics of each country in which the Group operates,
Given the rapid development of activities in new markets, AmRest has no other uniform, international policies that govern the HR issues at the Group level. Currently, key employment issues that regulate the internal order, rights and obligations of the staff and of the employer are governed by documents specified for each company, in accordance with the provisions of the countries in which AmRest Holdings SE operates.
A document which describes company's approach to HR issues is the "The strategy of responsible business and sustainable development of the AmRest Central Europe Division for 2015 – 2020". It applies to brands managed by AmRest in the Central Europe Division, namely in Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania and Serbia. In 2018, the company plans to implement the CSR strategy in other markets in which AmRest operates.
The strategy lays down rules of accountability in relations with stakeholders and employees. Key topics identified by the organisation in the HR area is the culture of inclusion and openness, employer by choice, training and development.
Key strategic goals in the HR area:
- continuation of a policy of the place which values diversity, in particular being open to hiring the disabled
-
regular satisfaction surveys and employee involvement surveys
-
an increase in the number of employees who positively perceive their work satisfaction
- continuation and enhancement of development programmes for the employees.
The issues of occupational health and safety are governed in accordance with the law applicable in the countries in which AmRest Holdings SE operates; thus the OHS issues are not governed at the Group level. In the Polish market, each brand managed by the Group has implemented OHS procedures and manuals as well as the occupational risk assessment. As part of popularisation of the safety rules in AmRest, modern training materials were prepared and e-learning courses were developed to improve accident prevention among the employees.
In Poland, a series of regulations in the HR area was introduced for AmRest Sp. z o.o. and AmRest Coffee Sp. z.o.o. These include, among others (the same for both companies): Work Rules, Remuneration Rules, Rules of the Company Social Benefits Fund, Internal Anti-Mobbing Policy.
As mentioned above, an internal anti-mobbing policy is in effect in both companies in Poland, which must be read by each employee.
7.2. Results
The AmRest Holdings SE Group is a continuously and quickly growing organisation, therefore employee training and development is one of its key pillars. The company operates an extensive system of in-house training courses (hard and soft skills) run by in-house coaches. For department heads and directors, the company offers a special development programme called the AmRest University, while the managers undergo a special training path called AmCollege and Leadership University of AmRest. Besides training paths for managerial positions, the company prepares its team for everyday duties, customer-oriented approach, and sales tasks. These rules apply to the entire Group.
In 2017, the employee development programme called Spread Your Wings was performed in the entire Group (with the exception of new markets acquired in 2017). The goal of the programme was to find talent within the organisation and foster professional development of staff, in line with their competencies, and to support and develop world class leaders in response to the needs resulting from the dynamic and global growth of the Group.
"Job Performance Appraisal" evaluation programme is a formal way of evaluation of the employee's work during the period covered by the assessment, and its result may constitute a factor qualifying for "Spread Your Wings" programme and for annual bonus. The process consists of self-assessment performed by the employee and the assessment of employee's job performance by the supervisor. Evaluation covers managers of restaurants and coffee shops, as well as office employees in all countries, in which AmRest Holdings SE capital Group operates. In Poland the self-assessment process of employees is regulated by "Work results evaluation" procedure.
In 2017, the Talent Amcademy internship programme was carried out in Poland. The goal of the programme was to offer development opportunities to students and graduates and allow them to gain professional experience while they were still at the university. The internship programme contributed to development of the positive image of AmRest as a first-choice employer and was the basis for employee recruitment in the future.
As a responsible employer, since 2007 AmRest has carried out employee satisfaction surveys. The employee satisfaction surveys were conducted in Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Russia and Spain, among all the employees. In 2017, the company decided not to conduct the global survey. The company is currently choosing the best way to express opinions and employee involvement in the changing work environment and the diverse operating markets of the company so that these ways can be tested in 2018. In the years to come, the company plans to conduct annual surveys for all of its employees.
Since the AmRest Holdings SE Group is an international corporation and development of professional career may result in the employee changing their place of domicile, the company has implemented the relocation policy, which was in force in Poland in 2017. In 2018, the new relocation policy is expected to be implemented in the entire Group. The goal of the policy is to support employees who perform their business duties in one of the countries where AmRest operates. Among others, the company provides accommodation, health insurance, school for children, and help with tax returns in the new country. This policy is an expression of the "Everything is possible!" culture of values, which facilitates employees' acclimatisation to the new reality.

8. Social issues: a description of policies of the AmRest Holdings SE Group and their results
Among social issues and social impact of the company, two areas that are the most important to operations of the AmRest Holdings SE Group must be noted:
-
the area related to the impact on customers understood as product safety and quality and customer satisfaction
-
the area related to AmRest social involvement, in particular actions for the local communities.
8.1 Social policies and their results: product quality and safety
The most important responsibilities of the AmRest Holdings SE Group include the issues of quality and safety of food products offered by restaurants managed by the company. The Group focuses on the highest standards of food safety and quality in the entire chain of supplies and procuring fresh products from local suppliers.
The quality and safety of food is one of the four areas of the "The strategy of responsible business and sustainable development of the AmRest Central Europe Division for 2015 – 2020" (the CSR Strategy). In 2017, the strategy applied to brands managed by AmRest Holdings SE in the Central Europe Division. In the years to come, the company plans to implement the CSR strategy in other markets where AmRest Holdings SE operates.
Key topics identified by the organisation in the CSR Strategy in the area of "Our food" are:
- food quality and safety
- responsible procurement and sale
- transparency of information about nutritional value of products.
Selected strategic goals in the "Our food" area include:
- key products tested and verified in laboratories, in accordance with the annual monitoring plan
- monitoring of suppliers: audits of key suppliers
- performance of actions to improve the legibility of information for customers about the quality and safety of meals and products offered, in line with the annual plan
- development of cooperation with local suppliers.
Each of the brands managed by the AmRest Holdings SE Group has its own restrictive policies on food safety and requires that such policies be strictly complied with. In addition, AmRest enforces global standards related to food safety as prescribed in the Food Safety Fundamentals (FSF) policy. The FSF is a global document for specific groups of persons responsible for quality control and safety of foods. It is not the policy implemented directly in restaurants, but it is the basis for development or update of the existing food safety standards in each of the brands and in each country managed by AmRest Holdings SE. The Food Safety Fundamentals is also a document which confirms the food safety level on new markets acquired by AmRest. Each market and brand have their own specifics, however, regardless of the local regulations, individual standards or procedures, they have to be additionally verified to meet the level of food safety as expected by AmRest.
The AmRest Holdings SE Group runs regular tests of product quality and conducts audits among its suppliers. The rules and scope of supplier audits are strictly defined in the Suppliers Approval Process policy and product quality tests are defined in the Brand Protection Monitoring System (BPMS) Policy, which primarily applies to food safety.
AmRest has implemented the BPMS Policy in: Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia and Austria. It applies to selected brands managed by AmRest: KFC, Burger King and Pizza Hut. Product quality tests are conducted in accordance with restrictive standards for each of the brands managed by AmRest. This follows the specific nature of each brand, which differ from each other in terms of the scope of products offered (including
food products used by the brand) and the analysis of risks and threats, which is conducted on the basis of longterm experience in brand management.
Each brand restaurant managed by AmRest requires specific products that meet certain parameters. Therefore, ongoing contact with suppliers, joint improvement of processes of production, storage and transport of products is such an important operating area of the Group. AmRest cooperates with proven and reputable manufacturers, who are market leaders in product quality. In all of its operating markets, AmRest enforces the Supply Approval Process, which governs the entire process of supplier approval.
Procurement processes of the AmRest Group are performed in three separate channels, which use separate policies and procedures:
- a. SCM: direct procurement and some of the investment procurement
- b. Indirect Procurement Department
- c. Investment Department
The Procurement Procedure is a document that governs the procurement processes in the SCM procurement channel. This procedure applies in the CEE markets (it will be also implemented in the French and German markets). The procedure defines the documentation that is necessary before starting the cooperation with the supplier, defines the time of tender procedure execution and frequency of tender procedures and defines the method of approving the tender procedure. It is an audit requirement applied within product groups. The SCM also conducts procurement tasks on the basis of the Supplier Approval Process, which applies globally, with the exception of China and Spain.
The Indirect Procurement Department conducts procurement based on its on Global Procurement Procedure, which applies to the entire Group, with the possible exception of Spain and China, which have local policies that overlap the global policy.
The Cost Management Procedure governs expenses incurred within the entire Group by the Investment Department.

By taking special and restrictive care of the safety and quality of foods, the AmRest Holdings SE Group controls this area, among others, by:
- systems of control of expiry dates and the product rotation system in the restaurants
- the system which supports coffee stores and restaurant managers with orders and which optimises the necessary quantity of products and ensures that products are fresh in the restaurant
- coffee stores and restaurants have dedicated storage rooms walk-in refrigerators and walk-in freezers, with electronic temperature control and necessary equipment to store the products; in addition the walkin refrigerators and walk-in freezers have curtains built into the door to reduce temperature spikes
- the restaurants use professional heavy duty cleaning and/or disinfection agents and equipment that ensures that such agents are effectively dosed – the concentration of agents is constantly controlled to maintain the highest effectiveness
- hand wash and/or disinfection systems for the employees
- regular training in hygiene and quality standards
- unexpected audits in restaurants, conducted by the internal audit department and third-party independent auditors.
- procedures for dealing with products in restaurants to maintain the highest quality and safety of the products
- thermal processing control systems among others, frying and roasting to ensure the highest quality and safety of foods
Customer satisfaction surveys
The opinion of customers of restaurants managed by AmRest is an important element that affects decisions made in the process of management and improvement of corporate procedures. The restaurant customer satisfaction level is surveyed locally. Each brand managed by AmRest Holdings SE runs its own customer satisfaction survey programme. Since every brand has its peculiarities while the questions asked in the survey must be adequate to the services of the brand, the brands implement their own customer satisfaction survey programmes. Restaurant customers are asked to fill out an online survey. The customers rate the quality of service, products they order, waiting time, whether the order is correctly fulfilled, how clean the restaurant is and most of all, describe their overall satisfaction level.
Surveys are analysed at the restaurant level, region and country level, and brand level. At each level, managers can generate survey results at any time, by directly accessing the online customer satisfaction survey collection and analysis system.
TABLE 3.15. RESULTS OF THE OVERALL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY IN 2017, BROKEN DOWN BY BRANDS:
| Brand | Result* |
|---|---|
| Starbucks | 73 |
| KFC | 72 |
| Blue Frog | 70 |
| Burger King | 70 |
| Pizza Hut | 70 |
| La Tagliatella | 69 |
| KAAB | 68 |
*The result means % of awarded highest score of overall satisfaction level (where the maximum score = 100% of awarded highest scores for overall satisfaction level)
Complaint processes are governed in separate AmRest complaint policies in individual markets. In 2018, the policies are expected to be consolidated at the global level. The Customer Support Team is in charge of reviewing customer reports. The time the customer receives the response to the report is no more than 72 hours. The customers may use different channels to submit their reports, whether directly in restaurants, by a dedicated mailbox, by surveys, by calling the helpline or by visiting brand profiles in social media.
In 2018, AmRest plans to launch a global tool to manage reports from AmCare customers (among others complaints, suggestions, questions). Initially, the system will be implemented in Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary.
8.2 Social policies and their results: social involvement
The AmRest Holdings SE Group is a socially involved group, which takes care of its impact on the surroundings and local communities. Given the diversity of markets in which the Group operates, there is no social involvement policy that would apply in all companies and countries in which the Group operates. Since a widely understood diversity is a major value for the company, companies of the Group have a choice and take such social initiatives dedicated to local communities that respond to identified needs and are tailored to the local needs.
The issues of social involvement of the Group are addressed in "The strategy of responsible business and sustainable development of the AmRest Central Europe Division for 2015–2020" (the CSR Strategy), where local communities are one of the strategic areas. Key directions of social actions identified in the CSR Strategy are programmes that support development of kids and young people and employee voluntary service.
Selected strategic goals:
- AmRest is perceived as a socially responsible company, which helps to solve major social issues in the closest environment of the company.
- AmRest supports employees' involvement in local initiatives, and inspires them to act, by providing staff with proper tools and by creating in-house programmes.
The approach of AmRest and its employees to their environment is addressed in the Code of Conduct, which requires that the employees be responsible citizens of local communities, encourages them to act for such communities and to support charitable and educational activities.
Some examples of AmRest social initiatives:
In 2017, the AmRest Holdings SE Group spent PLN 3,146,800 on social activities. In the reported period, the biggest social investment by AmRest was PLN 2,865,000 spent on implementation and execution of a unique social project entitled SIEMACHA Spot Magnolia Park Wrocław. AmRest also supported the FCSR Foundation from Pomerania and donated PLN 120,000 to promote its statutory goals.
AmRest as a strategic partner of SIEMACHA Spot Magnolia Park Wrocław
In 2017 AmRest continued strategic partnership with the SIEMACHA Association, as part of its own concept of SIEMACHA Spots. The institution in Wrocław operates through cooperation between the SIEMACHA Association, the Magnolia Park Shopping Centre, the City of Wrocław and AmRest. It is the place where modern educational solutions are implemented in practice, which support the development of young people who often find themselves in very difficult situations. The SIEMACHA Spot Magnolia Park in Wrocław offers a wide range of educational, musical, artistic, multimedia, cooking and sports activities to kids and young people.
The project created a place in the Magnolia Shopping Centre for kids from families in need of support, as well as a programme of employee voluntary service, with activities such as cooking, language, therapeutic and sports classes. The institution can be also supported by people who are not members of the organisation, by registering at www.wolontariuszeamrest.pl.
For detailed information about the project, please visit: http://siemachaspot.pl/placowki/spot-magnoliapark#.WoFiHajiY2w.
Employee voluntary service
Involvement of the AmRest's employees in education of kids and young people who frequent the SIEMACHA Spot Magnolia Park Wrocław is one of many examples of the employee voluntary service targeted at local needs and communities. In all the countries where AmRest operates, a total of 800 AmRest employees were involved in various projects of employee voluntary service in 2017.
There were approx. 5,000 beneficiaries of the social activities carried out by AmRest in 2017.
In 2017, 40 grant projects were completed in Poland and the Czech Republic, with 150 volunteers participating. The projects provided support to 1,500 beneficiaries (children, the elderly, the disabled children and adults, and animals). AmRest appropriated PLN 75,000 to support the grant programme of the employee voluntary service in those two countries.
In Poland, AmRest staff took part in the Corporate Run to raise funds for the disabled and ill children.
The system of providing food to those in need
In 2017, the AmRest Group launched a system for providing the surplus foods from the KFC restaurants to institutions and organisations that support persons in a difficult situation. The procedure for storage and supply of foods to social partners, strictly monitored in terms of food quality and safety, was implemented. The programme carries out two social goals that are of major importance to AmRest: help to local communities in need and preventing food waste.
In 2017, in Poland alone, the KFC restaurants handed over chicken foods worth PLN 4.7m to those in need. AmRest has also implemented the project in Hungary, Serbia and Spain.
9. Human rights: a description of policies of the AmRest Holdings SE Group and their results
AmRest has not developed a separate policy of prevention of human rights violations at the Group level. The issues of human rights at the workplace are addressed at the Group level in documents such as:
-
Code of Business Conduct
-
Diversity Policy in AmRest - available at: https://www.amrest.eu/sites/default/files/dokumenty/information\_on\_diversity\_policy\_in\_amrest.pdf
AmRest Sp. z o.o. and AmRest Coffee Sp. z.o.o. implemented the Anti-Mobbing Policy.
AmRest employees in Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic can report all the violations, including cases of mobbing and violations of human rights at work, through the following channels of communication: - direct contact with their superior,
- anonymous online report,
- anonymous telephone report via Speak Openly, a helpline operated by a third party.
No confirmed cases of violation of human rights at work, discrimination at work or cases of mobbing were identified in the AmRest Group in 2017.

Explanations:
1) AmRest Group took up 82%. and Starbucks 18% of the share capital of the newly-established companies in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary. In the ninth year Starbucks will have an unconditional option of increasing its shares to a maximum of 50%. In the event of a disputed take-over or change of control over the Company and/or its shareholders. Starbucks will be entitled to increase its share to 100% by purchasing shares from the Group. According to Company's Management assessment as at the day of this financial statement issuance, there are no indicators making mentioned above options realizable. The Group acquired 100% of shares in Romanian and Bulgarian entities being the sole operators on these markets. In Germany the Group acquired 100% of shares in a key operator on this market.
2) The fee is revalorized at the beginning of each calendar year by the inflation rate.
3) Preliminary franchise fees and marketing costs might be changed if certain conditions set in the agreement are met.
4) Marketing expenses for the Burger King brand amount to 2.5% of the sales revenues over the first 2 years of operation, 2% in the 3rd year and 5% in consecutive years of operation. 5) Validity period of franchisee agreement, therefore licenses for Burger King restaurants opened in Poland in period from March 1, 2009 till June 30, 2010, and also for newly opened restaurants in Poland was extended from 10 to 20 years since date of restaurant opening, however without option of prolongation for next 10 years, what was provided in original development agreement with AmRest sp. z o.o. In relation to restaurants opened in Poland in the period from March 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 and in relation to restaurants opened after this period (for franchise agreements for 20 years) was increased also amount of initial franchise payment from 25.000 USD to 50.000 USD.

b) Representations on compliance of the financial statements with the International Financial Accounting Standards
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS") for annual financial reporting, in force as at December 31, 2017.
As at December 31, 2017 there are no discrepancies between the accounting policies adopted by the Group according to IFRS accepted to use in European Union and the IFRS published by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
c) Form of presentation of the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Polish zloty (PLN), rounded up/down to full thousands.
The financial statements were prepared on the historical cost excluding valuation of derivative instruments and investment properties to their fair value.
The preparation of the IFRS financial statements requires the Management of the Company to make certain assumptions and estimates which are reflected in the accounting policy and that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and reported revenues and expenses during the period. The results of the estimates and the respective assumptions being the result of experience and various factors deemed to be justified in given circumstances are the basis for assessing the values of assets or liabilities which do not result directly from other sources. The actual financial results may differ from the adopted estimates.
d) Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained by the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date, on which such control ends. The parent controls an entity, if the parent meets conditions described in IFRS 10.
The Company reassesses whether it controls the entity if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to at least one elements of control listed in IFRS 10.
Transactions, settlements and unrealized gains on intercompany transactions are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction proves the impairment of the given asset transferred. Accounting policies used by subsidiaries were changed where necessary to ensure compliance with the Group accounting policies.
Non-controlling interests and transactions with non-controlling interests
Any changes in the shareholding structure of the parent company that do not result in a loss of control over subsidiary company are recognised as equity transactions. In such cases, in order to reflect changes in the relative interest in a subsidiary, the Group adjusts the carrying amount of the controlling and non-controlling interest. All differences between the value of the adjustment to the non-controlling interest and the fair value of the consideration paid or received are taken to the shareholders' equity and allocated to the owners of the parent.
Associates
An associate is an entity on which the parent has, directly or indirectly through subsidiary companies, a significant influence, and which is neither its subsidiary nor joint venture, which usually accompanies holding 20% to 50% of the general number of votes in the decision-making body of the entity. Investments in associates are accounted for according to the equity method and are initially stated at cost. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any potential accumulated impairment write-downs), determined as at the acquisition date.
The Group's share in the results of the associates from the date of purchase has been recorded in the income statement. Its share in other comprehensive income and movements in other equity items, from the date of purchase, has been recorded in other comprehensive income. The carrying value of the investment is adjusted for the total movements from the date of purchase. When the Group's share in the losses of an associate becomes equal or higher than the book value of Group's share in the associate, which covers potential unsecured receivables, the Group discontinues recognizing further losses unless it has assumed the obligation or has made payments on behalf of the given associate.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated in proportion to the Group's share in the said entities. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction proves that the given asset transferred has been impaired. Accounting policies used by subsidiaries were changed where necessary to ensure compliance with the Group accounting policies.
e) Going concern assumption
Information presented below should be read together with information provided in note 32 and 19, describing accordingly: significant post balance sheet events after December 31, 2017 and borrowings.
The consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group companies will continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. As at the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements, the parent company's Management Board is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would indicate a threat to the continued activity of the Group.
f) Foreign exchange trading
Functional currency and presentation currency
Each of the Group entities maintains financial reporting in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The following table presents functional currency used by the Group companies in particular countries.
| Country | Functional currency |
|---|---|
| Poland | Polish zloty (PLN) |
| Czech Republic | koruna (CZK) |
| Hungary | forint (HUF) |
| Russia | ruble (RUB) |
| Bulgaria | lev (BGN) |
| Serbia | dinar (RSD) |
| Spain | euro (EUR) |

| France | euro (EUR) |
| Portugal | euro (EUR) |
| Slovenia | euro (EUR) |
| Croatia | kuna (HRK) |
| Romania | leu (RON) |
| China | yuan (CNY) |
| Hong Kong | yuan (CNY), dollar (USD) |
| USA | dollar (USD) |
The Group presented its consolidated financial statements in Polish zloty.
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the rate prevailing as at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date are translated into Polish zloty at the rate prevailing as at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising as a result of translating the transactions denominated in foreign currencies into Polish zloty were recognized in the income statement, except incomes and losses concerning hedging instrument, which constitutes effective hedge presented directly in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities stated at historical cost and denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate as of the transaction date.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
Financial statements of foreign operations
The financial result and the financial position of all subsidiaries and associates whose functional currency is other than the presentation currency is translated to the presentation currency using the following procedures:
- assets and liabilities, including goodwill, and adjustments made during the consolidation are translated at the closing rate as at the balance sheet date;
- revenues and costs and elements of other comprehensive income of foreign operations are translated at the mid exchange rate in the given period which approximately reflects translation at the exchange rates prevailing as at the transaction date;
- all the resulting foreign exchange differences are presented in other comprehensive income and accumulated under a separate component of equity as translation differences of foreign operations. Upon the disposal of the operations, the exchange differences accumulated in equity that relate to the given foreign entity are recognized in the income statement.
- Foreign exchange differences arising on the measurement of net investments are recognized in other comprehensive income.
The Group used European Central Bank's exchange rates for currency translations as at December 31, 2017.
In the case of long-term financing based on intercompany loans with indefinite repayment date and with the lack of intention of Board of repayment the Group is classifying foreign exchange differences caused by them as part of equity concerning foreign exchange differences.
The functional currency of none of the subsidiaries is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy as at December 31, 2017.
g) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment owned by the Group
Property, plant and equipment is recognized in the books of account at historical cost net of accumulated depreciation and potential impairment. The initial value of the property, plant and equipment manufactured internally covers the cost of materials, direct labour, and – if material – the initial estimate of the cost of disassembly and removal of the assets and of bringing the location to the condition it had been in before the lease agreement was signed.
If the property, plant and equipment include material components with different useful lives, particular components are considered to be separate assets.
Gains and losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment are determined by comparing proceeds from sale with carrying amounts and recognized in the income statement under "Gains/losses from fixed assets disposal" being a part of "Occupancy and other operating expenses".
Assets related to opening restaurants
Costs directly related to purchasing and manufacturing of assets ("property, plant and equipment") connected with opening restaurants in given locations, including the costs of architecture design, legal assistance, wages and salaries, and benefits of employees directly involved in launching a given location are included in assets ("property, plant and equipment"). The Group includes in the value of restaurants costs mentioned above incurred from the moment when the completion of the project is considered likely. In the event of a later drop in the probability of launching the project at a given location, all the previously capitalized costs are transferred to the income statement. Costs directly related to purchasing and manufacturing of restaurants assets ("property, plant and equipment") are depreciated over the expected useful life of the restaurant.
Those assets consider both costs incurred with use of leasehold improvements and in premises owned.
The Group does not capitalize costs of external financing, as those assets do not meet definition of qualified assets under IAS 23.
AmRest Group Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
Leased assets
The Group is a Lessee of property, plant and equipment. Leases of property, plant and equipment under which virtually all the risks and benefits in respect of the ownership are attributable to the Group are recognized as finance leases. The assets leased under finance leases are recognized in assets as at the date of commencement of the lease term at the lower of their fair values and present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is divided into the amount decreasing the balance of the liability and the amount of finance costs so as to maintain a fixed interest rate in respect of the remaining portion of the liability. The respective rental obligations net of finance costs is recognized in finance lease liabilities. The interest element of finance costs is charged to costs in the income statement over the period of the lease so as to obtain a fixed periodical interest rate in respect of the remaining portion of the liability. Property, plant and equipment acquired under financial leases are depreciated over the shorter of the economic useful life of the asset and the lease period.
Costs incurred after commissioning fixed assets
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Amortization and depreciation
Property, plant and equipment, including their material components, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the assets/components. Land and fixed assets under construction are not depreciated. The expected useful lives of assets are as follows:
| Buildings | 30 - 40 years |
|---|---|
| Costs incurred on the development of restaurants (including leasehold improvements | 10 - 20 years* |
| and costs of development of the restaurants) | |
| Plant and machinery | 3 - 14 years |
| Vehicles | 4 - 6 years |
| Other property, plant and equipment | 3 - 10 years |
* regular lease term
The residual value, depreciation method and economic useful lives are reassessed annually.
h) Investment Properties
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.
Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the income statement in the period of derecognition.
Transfers are made to or from investment property only when there is a change in use. For a transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property, the deemed cost for subsequent accounting is the fair value at the date of change in use. If owner-occupied property becomes an investment property, the Group accounts for such property in accordance with the policy stated under note 1i) up to the date of change in use.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
i) Franchise, licence agreements and other fees
As described in note 1a), the Group operates restaurants on the basis of franchise agreements. In accordance with the franchise agreements, the Group is obliged to pay a non-reimbursable initial fee upon opening each new restaurant and further fees over the period of the agreement (in the amount of % of sales revenues, usually 5-6%), and to allocate % of revenues (usually 5%) to advertising activities specified in the respective agreements. Moreover, after the end of the initial period of the franchise agreement, the Group may renew the franchise agreement after paying a renewal fee.
Non-reimbursable initial fees are in fact fees for the right to use the e.g. Pizza Hut and KFC trademark and are included in intangible assets and amortized over the period of the franchise (usually 10 years). Further payments made in the period of the agreement are disclosed in the income statement upon being made. Fees for extending the validity of the agreements are amortized as of the date of a given extension agreement coming into force.
A fixed licence fee equal to % of sales revenues is recognized in the income statement when as incurred in category continuing franchise fees.
The local marketing fee is recognized in the income statement as incurred in category direct marketing costs.
Group owns brands and is a franchisor in franchisee agreements. Following policies apply:
- Generally, the franchise agreement covers a 10-year period and provides an option of extension for another 10 (for agreements signed after 2006) or 5 years (for agreements signed before 2006). Some franchise agreements were signed for the period from 9 to 20 years.
- Initial fees paid by franchisees are recognized by the Group as a revenue at the moment when all critical agreed in the contract areas are covered for the purpose of restaurant opening.
- Fees for using own brand paid by franchisees to the Group as a 6% from the sales (continued fees) are recognized as earned.
j) Intangible assets
Computer software
Acquired licenses for computer software are capitalized on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and prepare specific software for use. These costs are amortized on the basis of the expected useful lives.
Favourable lease agreements
Favourable lease agreements recognized on the acquisition of subsidiaries that provide for lease fees lower than market fees are initially recognized at fair value and then at cost net of amortization and potential impairment (note 1p)).
Trademark
Trademarks acquired in mergers or acquisitions are recognized at fair value as at the date of transaction. The economic useful life is assessed individually. Trademark of La Tagliatella has indefinite economic useful life and is not subject of amortization, but of annual impairment tests. Blue Frog brand has its economic useful life and is amortized.
Relationships with Franchisees, relationships with clients (clients' database)
Relationships with Franchisees and with clients recognized at mergers and acquisitions are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Useful life is determinated for each asset separately.
Rights to the Pizza Hut, KFC, Burger King, Starbucks trademark
See note 1i).
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets are recognized at cost (purchase price or manufacturing cost) less accumulated amortization and potential impairment (see note 1p)). The exclusivity rights of brand operators on particular markets are presented within other intangible assets.
Amortization
Intangible assets are amortized on straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the assets if it is determined. Goodwill and other intangible assets whose expected useful lives cannot be specified are assessed annually for potential impairment (see note 1p) of the accounting policies below) and are not amortized. Other intangible assets are amortized as of the date of their availability for use.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
The expected useful lives of assets are as follows:
| Computer software | 3-5 years |
|---|---|
| Favourable lease agreements | 2-10 years* |
| Trademarks | 5-10 years |
| Own trademark Blue Frog | 20 years |
| Rights to Pizza Hut, KFC, Burger King and Starbucks trademark | 10 years |
| Relations with franchisees | 20-24 years** |
| Clients' database | 2 years |
| Exclusivity rights brand operator | 6-12 years*** |
| Other intangible assets | 5-10 years |
* favourable agreements are amortized over the period to the end of the agreement **average period of franchise agreement
*** period of exclusivity agreement
k) Goodwill
Business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method.
Goodwill on acquisition of a business entity is initially measured at acquisition cost which is an excess of:
- the sum total of:
- the consideration paid,
- the amount of all non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and
- in the case of a business combination achieved in stages, the fair value, at the acquisition-date, of an interest in the acquiree,
- over the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition date.
Goodwill on consolidation is disclosed in a separate line in statement of financial position and measured at cost net of accumulated impairment write-downs. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired (refer to the note 1p) of accounting policy). Goodwill arising upon the acquisition of associates is recognized in the total carrying amount of the investments in associates.
Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the entity sold.
Expenses incurred to increase the goodwill created internally and trademarks created internally are recognized in the income statement upon being incurred.
l) Financial assets
The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity assets, and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and reviews this designation at every balance sheet date.
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial instruments that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories described below. The Group does not maintain any investments classified as available-for-sale financial assets as at the end of each of the periods covered by these consolidated financial statements.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
This category comprises two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it is: acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near term; part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that are managed together and for which there is evidence of a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or is a derivative unless they are designated as hedges. The Group does not maintain any investments classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss as at the end of each of the periods covered by these consolidated financial statements.
AmRest Group Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
Financial assets held to maturity
This category included financial assets held to maturity are quoted in an active market non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities, which the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold until maturity, other than:
- those that upon initial recognition are designated as at fair value through profit or loss;
- those that are designated as available for sale; and
- those that meet the definition of loans and receivables.
The carrying amount of investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate.
Group does not have any financial assets held to maturity as at the balance sheet date.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. They are recognized at amortized cost net of impairment write-downs and recognized as current assets in the balance sheet, under "Trade and other receivables" (See note 1m)), if they mature within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Regular purchase and sale transactions of financial assets are recognized as at the transaction date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell a given asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. This relates to all financial assets not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and the transaction costs are recognized in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or were transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at adjusted purchase price (amortized cost using the effective interest method).
m) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables include non-derivative financial assets not traded on an active market with fixed or determinable amounts to be repaid. These assets are initially recognized at fair value and then at amortized cost net of impairment (note 1p)). An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable.
n) Inventories
Inventories include mainly materials and goods for resale. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory issues are accounted for on the FIFO basis. The cost of purchase of inventories includes costs directly related to purchasing and preparing the given asset for sale.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
o) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash reported in the statement of financial position comprises cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
For the purpose of the consolidated cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts (overdraft facilities).
p) Impairment
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence of assets impairment. Group verifies the carrying value of inventories (See note 1n) of the accounting policies) and deferred income tax assets (note 1x)), to determine whether the assets do not show signs of impairment. If there are signs of impairment, the recoverable value of the assets is determined.
Impairment write-downs of trade and other receivables are recognized when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all the amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. If there is such evidence, the impairment write-downs of the receivables are determined as the difference between the value of the assets following from the books of account as at the measurement date and the present value of the
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
expected future cash flows discounted using the effective interest rate of the financial instrument. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement.
An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. If such indication exists, or in case an annual impairment testing is required, the Group makes an estimate of the recoverable amount of that asset.
Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
The recoverable amount of the remaining assets is estimated at the higher of the fair value net of costs to sell and the value in use. Value in use is deemed to be the sum of discounted future cash flows which will be generated from the asset using the market discount rate before tax reflecting the time value of money and the risks characteristic for the given asset. If it is not possible to determine the future cash flows from a given asset, for the purpose of determining the value in use, a group of assets which includes the given asset, which generate specific cash flows, are taken into account (cash-generating unit).
Potential impairment of a restaurant is considered to be the fact of its incurring an operating loss during the financial year. In such an event, the discounted future economic benefits which the given facility will generate are determined. Potential impairment is determined on the basis of discounted cash flows from core activities until the date of closing the facility, in consideration of the residual value.
Moreover, upon taking a decision to close a restaurant, the value of appropriate assets is reviewed for potential impairment, and the period in use of the assets is changed. At the same time, the Group recognizes potential liabilities related to the costs of giving notice of the lease of premises in the books of account.
In case of renovation, negotiation concerning change in location or other not typical events, the Group uses specific rules dependent on situation with specific treatment of particular restaurant.
Reversal of impairment write-downs
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased.
Impairment write-downs in respect of receivables recognized at amortized cost are reversed if the later increase in their recoverable value may be objectively attributed to an event which arose after the impairment was recognized.
Impairment write-downs in respect of goodwill cannot be reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment writedowns are reversible if there are premises indicating that the impairment has ceased to exist or decreased. Reversal of impairment should be made if estimates used to determine the recoverable value are changed.
Impairment write-downs are reversed only to the extent to which the carrying amount of an asset does not exceed the carrying amount it would be recognized at, net of depreciation, had the impairment not been recognized.
q) Loans and borrowings
Initially, borrowings are recognized in the books of account at the fair value net of transaction costs associated with the borrowing. Subsequently, borrowings are recognized in the books of account at amortized cost using the effective interest rate.
If borrowings are repaid before maturity, the resulting differences between the determined costs and the present costs are recognized in the income statement.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
r) Share capital
Equity includes equity attributable to shareholders of the parent and non-controlling interests.
Equity attributable to shareholders of the parent includes:
- Share capital
- Reserves
- Retained earnings
- Translation reserve
<-- PDF CHUNK SEPARATOR -->
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
Within reserves position effect of following transactions are presented:
- Surplus over nominal value (share premium)
- Non-refundable additional contributions to capital without additional issuance of shares made by the Group's shareholders before their debut on the WSE
- Impact of put option valuation
- Effect of accounting for share based payments
- Treasury shares
- Hedges valuation
- Transactions with non-controlling interests
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
s) Employee benefits
Share-based payments
The Group has both equity-settled share-based programs and cash settled share- based programs.
Equity-settled transactions
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to award fair value at the grant date.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award ("vesting date"). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the number of awards that, in the opinion of the parent's Management Board at that date, based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments, will ultimately vest.
Cash-settled transactions
Cash-settled transactions were started to be accounted in 2014 as a result of modification introduced in existing share based programs. Programs were modified so that it may be settled in cash instead of shares. As a result, the group remeasures the liability related to cash settled transaction.
The liability is subsequently be measured at its fair value at every balance sheet date and recognised to the extent the service vesting period passed, with changes in liability valuation recognized in income statement. Cumulatively, at least the original grant date fair value of the equity instruments is recognised as an expense (share-based payment expense).
At the date of settlement, the Group shall remeasure the liability to its fair value. The actual settlement method selected by the employees, will dictate the accounting treatment:
- if cash settlement is chosen, the payment reduces the entirely recognised liability;
- if the settlement is in shares, the balance of the liability is transferred to equity, being consideration for the shares granted. Any equity component previously recognised shall remain within equity.
Long-term employee benefits dependent on their years in service
The net value of liabilities related to long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefits which were vested in the employees in connection with the work performed by them in the current and past periods. The liability was accounted for based on the estimated future cash outflows, and as at the balance sheet date, the amounts take into consideration the rights vested in the employees relating to past years and to the current year.
Retirement benefit contributions
During the financial period, the Group pays mandatory pension plan contributions dependent on the amount of gross wages and salaries payable, in accordance with the binding legal regulations. The public pension plan is based on the pay-as-you-go principle, i.e. the Group has to pay contributions in an amount comprising a percentage part of the remuneration when they mature, and no additional contributions will be due if the Company ceases to employ the respective staff. The public plan is a defined contribution pension plan. The contributions to the public plan are disclosed in the income statement in the same period as the related remuneration, under "Payroll and employee benefits".
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
Management incentive program for Group employees in local markets
AmRest Group has issued management incentive program towards employees of Spanish group based on financial result for Spanish, Portuguese and French markets. This plan provides minimal hurdle rate of Spanish business economic value increase. Management of the Group values this program according to best estimates, including forecasts Spanish business value and evaluation of plan settlement dates.
t) Provisions
Provisions are recorded in the balance sheet if the Group has a legal or constructive obligation arising from past events, and if it is probable that the discharge of this obligation will result in an outflow of economic benefits. If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is determined as the expected future cash flows discounted using the discount rate before tax which reflects the time value of money and the potential risks related to a given obligation.
Provisions for liabilities caused by restructuring are set up when the Group has a detailed, official restructuring plan and the restructuring has already started or information on it was published. No provisions are set up for future operating expenses.
Costs of bringing the location to the condition it had been in before the lease agreement was signed
If the Group is obliged to bringing the location to the condition it had been in before the lease agreement was signed, the Company's Management Board analyses this future costs and sets up provisions if the costs are material.
Onerous contracts
Provisions for onerous contracts are set up if the expected revenues of the Group resulting from the contracts are lower than the unavoidable costs resulting from obligations under the contracts. Unavoidable costs are lower amount from: penalty in the event of breaking the agreement and costs of contract realization.
u) Trade and other payables
These payables are initially recognized in the books of account at fair value, and subsequently at amortized cost.
v) Revenues
Restaurant sales, franchise sales and other sales constitute Group revenues. Sales revenues comprise the fair value of the economic benefits received for the sale of goods, net of value-added tax. Sales of finished goods are recognized by the Group upon issuing them to the purchaser. Consideration for the goods is mainly in cash form.
w) Finance and operating leases
Operational leasing, rent costs
Leases whereby the major part of the risks and benefits from ownership remains with the lessor comprise operating leases. All the lease payments paid under the operating lease agreements are charged to costs on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. The discounts received from lessors are recognized in the income statement in the same manner, as an integral part of lease fees.
Operating leases relate mainly to leases of premises where the restaurants operate. The respective costs are recognized in the income statement under "Lease costs and other operating expenses".
Finance lease
Leasing is classified as financial leasing, when according to signed agreement in overall all potential benefits and risk from ownership are passed towards leasee.
Amount due from finance leasing are presented in receivables position finance lease receivables in net value of investment. Incomes from finance lease are allocated to appropriate periods according to stable annual rate of return from Group investment due from finance lease.
Group as a leaseholder – please refer to note 1g).
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
x) Income tax expense
The income tax shown in the income statement comprises the current and deferred part. The current portion of the income tax includes tax calculated on the basis of the taxable income for the current period using the income tax rates which have been enacted or substantially enacted as at the balance sheet date, and adjustments of the income tax liability from prior years.
For financial reporting purposes, deferred tax is recognised, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is also recognized outside profit or loss: under other comprehensive income if relates to items recognised under other comprehensive income, or under equity – if relates to items recognized in equity.
Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will be available that will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if, and only if, a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes that are levied by the same taxation authority.
y) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Group sporadically uses derivative financial instruments to hedge against foreign exchange risk in operating and financing transactions.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are taken directly to the profit or loss for the period.
The group designates certain derivatives as either:
- hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge); or
- hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedge).
The group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing quarterly basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.
Movements on the hedging reserve in other comprehensive income are shown in note 18.
Cash flow hedge
The effective part of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement within 'other financial income or costs – net'.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement within 'other financial income or costs – net'.
Net investment hedge
Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges.
Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement. Gains and losses accumulated in equity are included in the income statement when the foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold.
Financial derivative included in non-financial host contract which meets criteria of embedded derivative is accounted as a separate derivative instrument and as such can be used as hedging instrument in cash flow or net investment hedge relationship.
z) Segment reporting
Business segments were set on the basis of internal managerial reports that are used by the Executive Committee while making strategic decisions. The Executive Committee (Exec) analyses performance of the Group allocating owned resources according to given restaurants.
aa) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets (or groups of assets) are classified as 'held for sale' and disclosed at the lower of: the carrying amount and the fair value net of the costs of preparing the asset for sale, if the carrying amount is realized mainly through the sale and not through on-going use. This requirement can be fulfilled only if the occurrence of a sale transaction is highly probable, and the item of assets is available for immediate sale in its present condition.
If the Group wants to sell assets and as a result of that transaction it looses a control over a subsidiary, all assets and liabilities of this subsidiary should be classified as assets held for sale regardless the Group remains noncontrolling interest after that transaction.
bb) Seasonal fluctuations in production and sales
The seasonal fluctuations in sales and inventory of the Group are not significant which is characteristic for the entire restaurant industry.
The lowest sales are recorded in the first quarter of the year, which is attributable primarily to fewer operating days in February and fewer people dining out. The next quarter in terms of sales is the second quarter, in which the restaurants achieve better results thanks to improving weather and a positive effect of the beginning of the holiday season in June. The highest sales are achieved at the end of the third and at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Very good performance in the third quarter is attributable to the increased tourist traffic. Autumn is traditionally a season when people tend to dine out more frequently, which translates into higher sales. An important time in the last three months of the year is the pre-Christmas period, when particularly high sales are reported by the restaurants situated in shopping malls.
cc) Adjustments, standards' amendments and changes in accounting policy
Comparable data were restated as a consequence of following adjustments.
In the first half of 2017, the Group finalized acquisition accounting for AmRest Coffee Deutschland Sp. z o.o. & Co. KG. The adjustments that were introduced based on the verification of fair value of acquired assets and liabilities also impacted value of goodwill previously established under the provisional acquisition of Starbucks in Germany.
As a consequence, comparative data, and relevant explanatory notes, presented in these consolidated financial statements were restated.
Adjustments introduced did not materially affect the comparative data presented in these financial statements for the consolidated statement of comprehensive income; cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated cash flow statement and earnings per share, hence the data were note restated.
Schedules of effects of above mentioned adjustments and the reconciliations between data published for the year ended December 31, 2016 and reported in current period statements as data for the year ended December 31, 2016 are presented below.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
In 2017 the Group decided to change a presentation of interests paid and received in the cashflow statement. The change was inspired by the desire to reflect better the nature of the transactions as well as the growing magnitude of cashflow. Interests are now presented in the financing activities the instead of operating activities. As a result cashflow statement presented in the published annual consolidated financial statement for 2016 has to be restated. Following table presents details.
| According to the published financial statement |
Adjustment | Restated | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash flows from different positions of operating activities | 490 752 | - | 490 752 |

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the attached consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2016 with the exception of the amendments presented below.
Newly applied and amended standards
In the financial statements the following amendments to the standards were applied from January 1, 2017:
a) Disclosure Initiative - Amendments to IAS 7
The amended IAS 7 will require disclosure of a reconciliation of movements in liabilities arising from financing activities.
The Group applied standard's requirements from January 1, 2017 and addressed it in the note 19.
b) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses - Amendments to IAS 12
The amendment has clarified the requirements on recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments. The entity will have to recognise deferred tax asset for unrealised losses that arise as a result of discounting cash flows of debt instruments at market interest rates, even if it expects to hold the instrument to maturity and no tax will be payable upon collecting the principal amount. The economic benefit embodied in the deferred tax asset arises from the ability of the holder of the debt instrument to achieve future gains (unwinding of the effects of discounting) without paying taxes on those gains.
The change has no impact on the reported companies and on the Group financial situation.
c) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 cycle
Amendments were issued on 8 December 2016 and impact three standards IFRS 12, IFRS 1 and IAS 28.
The amendments include clarification and changes to the scope, valuation, recognition of standards and editorial improvements.
The amendments are effective from January 1, 2017 (refer to IFRS12) or from January 1, 2018 (refer to IFRS 1 and IAS 28).
The changes had not significant impact on the accounting policies applied.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
Standards or interpretation issued but not effective as at December 31, 2017 and not yet applied by the Group
In this consolidated financial statements the Group has not decided to adopt issued standards, amendments or interpretations before their effective date.
a) IFRS 9 Financial instruments
IFRS 9 replace IAS 39 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost, those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses – the expected credit losses (ECL) model. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income. Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align accounting more closely with risk management.
The Group applies hedge accounting and from January 1, 2018 will also be in line with the requirements of new standard.
The Group applied the standard from January 1, 2018.
The impact of standard application is not significant.
b) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The new standard introduces the core principle that revenue must be recognised when the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at the transaction price. Any bundled goods or services that are distinct must be separately recognised, and any discounts or rebates on the contract price must generally be allocated to the separate elements. When the consideration varies for any reason, minimum amounts must be recognised if they are not at significant risk of reversal. Costs incurred to secure contracts with customers have to be capitalised and amortised over the period when the benefits of the contract are consumed.
The Group applied the standard for January 1, 2018.
The impact of standard application is not significant.
c) Amendments to IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The amendments do not change the underlying principles of the Standard but clarify how those principles should be applied. The amendments clarify how to identify a performance obligation (the promise to transfer a good or a service to a customer) in a contract; how to determine whether a company is a principal (the provider of a good or service) or an agent (responsible for arranging for the good or service to be provided); and how to determine whether the revenue from granting a licence should be recognised at a point in time or over time. In addition to the clarifications, the amendments include two additional reliefs to reduce cost and complexity for a company when it first applies the new Standard.
The Group applied the standard for January 1, 2018.
d) IFRS 16 "Leases"
The new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. All leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and, if lease payments are made over time, also obtaining financing. Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases as is required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Lessees will be required to recognise: (a) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and (b) depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.
The Group will apply the standard from January 1, 2019.
The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements. Taking into consideration large scale and value of signed lease agreements, the Group expects a significant impact of the implementation of standard on the consolidated financial statements.
e) Amendments to IFRS 2, Share-based Payment
The amendments mean that non-market performance vesting conditions will impact measurement of cashsettled share-based payment transactions in the same manner as equity-settled awards. The amendments also clarify classification of a transaction with a net settlement feature in which the entity withholds a specified portion of the equity instruments, that would otherwise be issued to the counterparty upon exercise (or vesting), in return for settling the counterparty's tax obligation that is associated with the sharebased payment. Such arrangements will be classified as equity-settled in their entirety.
Finally, the amendments also clarify accounting for cash-settled share based payments that are modified to become equity-settled, as follows (a) the share-based payment is measured by reference to the modificationdate fair value of the equity instruments granted as a result of the modification; (b) the liability is derecognised upon the modification, (c) the equity-settled share-based payment is recognised to the extent that the services have been rendered up to the modification date, and (d) the difference between the carrying amount of the liability as at the modification date and the amount recognised in equity at the same date is recorded in profit or loss immediately.
The Group applied the standard from January 1, 2018.
The impact of standard application is not significant.
f) Transfers of Investment Property - Amendments to IAS 40
The amendments clarify the requirements on transfers to, or from, investment property in respect of properties under construction.
The Group will apply the standard once approve by UE.
g) Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures - Amendments to IAS 28
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 or later. The amendments clarify that reporting entities should apply IFRS 9 to long-term loans, preference shares and similar instruments that form part of a net investment in an equity method investee before they can reduce such carrying value by a share of loss of the investee that exceeds the amount of investor's interest in ordinary shares.
The Group will apply the standard from January 1, 2019.
At the date of preparation this financial statements the Group has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the amendments on the consolidated financial statement.
At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, this standard has not yet been approved by the European Union.
h) IFRIC 22 - Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration
The interpretation addresses how to determine the date of the transaction for the purpose of determining the exchange rate to use on initial recognition of the related asset, expense or income (or part thereof) on the derecognition of a non-monetary asset or non-monetary liability arising from an advance consideration in a foreign currency. IFRIC is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018 or later.
The Group will apply the standard once approved by UE.
i) IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments
IAS 12 specifies how to account for current and deferred tax, but not how to reflect the effects of uncertainty. IFRIC is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 or later
The Group will apply the standard from January 1, 2019.
At the date of preparation this financial statements the Group has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the amendments on the consolidated financial statement.
At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, this standard has not yet been approved by the European Union.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
j) Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle - amendments to IFRS 3, IFRS 11, IAS 12 and IAS 23
IASB issued in December 2017 annual improvements to IFRSs 2015-2017 cycle changing IFRS 3, IFRS 11, IAS 12 and IAS 23. Amendments contain clarifications and specification relating to recognition and valuation.
The Group will apply the standard from January 1, 2019.
At the date of preparation this financial statements the Group has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the amendments on the consolidated financial statement.
At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, this standard has not yet been approved by the European Union.
k) Amendments to IAS 19: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement
The amendments were issued on February 7, 2018 and are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 or later. The amendments specifies how a company accounts for a defined benefit plan. When a change to a plan—an amendment, curtailment or settlement—takes place, IAS 19 requires a company to remeasure its net defined benefit liability or asset. The amendments require a company to use the updated assumptions from this remeasurement to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after the change to the plan. Until now, IAS 19 did not specify how to determine these expenses for the period after the change to the plan
The Group will apply the standard from January 1, 2019.
At the date of preparation this financial statements the Group has not yet completed its assessment of the impact of the amendments on the consolidated financial statement.
At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, this standard has not yet been approved by the European Union.
l) IFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral Accounts
IFRS 14 permits first-time adopters to continue to recognize amounts related to rate regulation in accordance with their previous GAAP requirements when they adopt IFRS. However, to enhance comparability with entities that already apply IFRS and do not recognize such amounts, the standard requires that the effect of rate regulation must be presented separately from other items. An entity that already presents IFRS financial statements is not eligible to apply the standard.
The standard was not endorsed by the IASB.
Other issued but not endorsed standards or interpretations do not affect the Group's activity.

Impairment testing of own brands
As at December 31, 2017, the Group conducted own brand value (La Tagliatella) impairment tests with respect to the acquisitions of businesses in Spain. The tests have shown no need to create an impairment.
The cash generating units is activity connected with La Tagliatella brand. The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit was determined based on value in use calculation using the discount rate in Spain.
The recoverable value of the cash generating units is based on calculations of their value in use. The calculation uses expected future cash flows assessed on the basis of historical results and expectations as to the development of the market in the future included in the business plan.
Expected cash flows for identified cash generating units were prepared on the basis of assumptions made derived from historical experience adjusted for realized plans and undertaken actions together with adjustment for valid liabilities and assessments of changes in client behaviours.
Impairment testing was realized taking into consideration following assumptions:
| 2017 | 2016 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate before tax | 8.85% | 10.47% |
| Budgeted average EBITDA margin | 21.25% | 19.34% |
| Expected mid-term EBITDA growth rate | 6.93% | 7,87% |
| Residual growth rate | 2.00% | 2.00% |
If discount rate or EBITDA margin in period of 12 months ended December 31, 2017 were bigger/smaller by 1 percentage point, which is considered as a reasonably possible change in the assumptions, it would not result in recognition of impairment.

Impairment testing
As at December 31, 2017, the Group conducted goodwill impairment tests with respect to the acquisitions of businesses in Hungary, Russia, Spain, Romania, China and Germany, where goodwill is significant and purchase price allocation process was completed. The tests have shown no need to recognize any impairment losses.
The recoverable value of the cash generating units is based on calculations of value in use. The calculation includes expected future cash flows assessed on the basis of historical results and expectations as to the development of the market in the future included in the business plan.
Expected cash flows for identified cash generating units were prepared on the basis of assumptions made derived from historical experience adjusted for realized plans and undertaken actions together with adjustment for valid liabilities and assessments of changes in consumer behaviors.
| Impairment testing was performed taking into consideration following assumptions: | |
|---|---|
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -- |
| Hungary | Russia | Spain | China | Romania | Germany | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 2017 | ||||||
| Discount rate before tax | 7.44% | 14.85% | 6.63% | 8.61% | 9.37% | 4.39% |
| Budgeted average EBITDA margin |
20.61% | 12.96% | 21.25% | 12.62% | 23.72% | 6.45% |
| Expected mid-term growth rate of EBITDA |
15.91% | 15.32% | 6.93% | 15.91% | 13.47% | 37.67% |
| Year 2016 | ||||||
| Discount rate before tax | 10.06% | 16.82% | 7.86% | 8.34% | 9.69% | 5.08% |
| Budgeted average EBITDA margin |
17.77% | 12.74% | 19.34% | 11.69% | 26.56% | 9.57% |
| Expected mid-term growth rate of EBITDA |
16.52% | 17.41% | 7.87% | 17.70% | 16.08% | 26.81% |
Expected future cash flows are analysed in the perspective of the period settled in the lease agreement concerned tested cash generating units. The length of the period (usually 10 years) results mainly from the long-term nature of the franchise agreements and the long-term nature of investments in the restaurant business. The Residual growth rate was estimated of 2%. Budgeted EBITDA margin is calculated based on actual forecasts and financial performance expectations regarding given cash generating unit and takes into account all applicable factors influencing this ratio.
Management performed impairment testing model sensitivity analysis in order to assess whether theoretical impairment is probable, assuming changes in key assumptions. If EBITDA margin decreased by 1 percentage point for the test of Russian business, the possible impairment would amount to PLN 55 million. If discount rates increased by 1 percentage points, the possible impairment loss would amount to PLN 4 million.
Management believes this scenario is remote, because the current analysis is based on fairly prudent assumptions. Assumed development plans include costs of both new openings and other capital expenditures. Group analysis shows that the reduction of these plans and focus on economies of scales and process optimization would mitigate the risk of impairment.
For other countries, management believes that no reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions would result in recognition of impairment loss of goodwill as at December 31, 2017.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
Hedges valuation influence
As at December 31, 2017 within the EUR denominated debt, a bank loan of EUR 177.75 million and debt instrument Schuldscheindarlehen (SSD) issue of EUR 26 million are hedging net investment in Hungarian subsidiary AmRest Capital ZRT and in the Spanish subsidiaries. EUR denominated debt hedges the Group against the foreign currency risk resulting from revaluations of net assets. Gains or losses arising from the translation of the liability at the relevant exchange rate at the end of the period are charged to reserve capital in order to offset gains or losses on translation of the net investment in subsidiaries. During the period for the 12 months ended December 31, 2017 hedge was fully effective.
As at December 31, 2017 accumulated value of currency revaluation recognized in reserve capital (resulted from net investment hedges) amounted to PLN 51.789 thousand and deferred tax concerning this revaluation PLN 9.840 thousand.

30. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Key sources of uncertainties relating to estimates
Estimates and judgments are continually verified, and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that are exposed to a significant risk of introducing a significant adjustment of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities during another financial year relate mainly to the impairment tests in respect of property, plant and equipment and goodwill, amortization and depreciation, provisions and calculation of deferred tax.
Estimated impairment of goodwill
The Group each year tests goodwill for impairment in accordance with its accounting policies described in note 1p). The recoverable value of a cash generating unit is determined on the basis of the calculation of its value in use (note 12). As at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 goodwill impairment was not recognized.
Estimated impairment of property, plant and equipment
Once a year Group tests impairment of property, plant and equipment for impairment losses according to the accounting policy described in note 1p). This value is compared with assets value and in case of identification of gap in coverage there is impairment loss recognized. In the period of 12 months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were recognized impairment losses according to information presented in note 0 and 11.
Estimated depreciation charges
Estimation of depreciation rates is realized on the basis of technical abilities of a given asset, together with planned form and intensity of usage, with simultaneous consideration of experience and legal obligations influencing usage of the given asset.
Increasing the average useful lives of property, plant and equipment by 10% would lead to a decrease in depreciation for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2017 by ca. PLN 30.046 thousand. Increasing the average useful lives of property, plant and equipment by 10% would lead to a decrease in depreciation for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2016 by ca. PLN 24.643 thousand.
Fair value estimation
As at financial statement publishing date fair value of financial instruments which are in turnover on active market bases on market quotation. Fair value of financial instruments which aren't in turnover on active market is calculated by using valuation techniques. The Group used estimations to establish fair value of assets and liabilities on acquisition. Details of those estimations are described in note 3.
The Group uses different methods and assumptions based on market conditions as at each balance sheet date. Fair value of financial assets and investment property available for sale, which are not in turnover on active market, is calculated with using sector indexes and last available information concerning the investment. Fair value of currency exchange rate option and forwards is calculated based on valuation made by banks which issued the instrument.
Notes to the consolidated financial statements (in PLN thousands unless stated otherwise)
The following fair value valuations concerning financial instruments were used by the Group:
- quoted prices (not adjusted) from active markets for the same assets and liabilities (Level 1),
- input data different from quoted prices included in Level 1, which are observed for assets and liabilities directly (as prices) or indirectly (based on prices) (Level 2),
- input data for valuation of assets and liabilities, which don't base on possible to observe market data (input data not observed) (Level 3).
Fair value of investment property, which was not in turnover on active market, was calculated with use of valuation techniques. Investment property belongs to the "CEE" segment.
| Note | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | 31.12.2017 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Investment property | 10 | - | 22 152 | - | 22 152 |
For the purpose of the risk management related to certain transaction within the Group, forward currency contracts are used. Open contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges or net investment hedges in foreign operations. They are signed for periods not longer than risk exposition periods, prevailing for one to twelve months. As at December 31, 2017 the Group was not in possession of open contracts.
Provisions
Key uncertainties and estimates are described in note 21.
Deferred income tax
Uncertainties and estimates related to deferred taxes come mainly from recognizing a deferred tax asset in respect of unused tax losses carried forward (note 8).
Lease classification
In classification of agreements for operating lease and finance categories critical judgments are made allowing to classify given agreement to given type of leasing. Judgments consider mainly: period of use, purchase option, alternatives availability, term of agreement cancelation.
31. Financial instruments
Fair value
Book values of short-term: receivables, other assets, payables, loans and liabilities are similar to their fair values due to their short-term settlement. According to the estimations of the Group, fair values of non-current assets and liabilities immaterially differs from their respective book values.
As at December 31, 2017 the Group did not possess financial instruments measured at fair value. As at December 31, 2017 the Group did not recognize the transfers between levels of fair value valuations.
Risk management
The Group is exposed to several financial risks in connection with its activities, including: the risk of market fluctuations (covering the foreign exchange risk and risk of changes in interest rates), risk related to financial liquidity and – to a limited extent – credit risk. The risk management program implemented by the Group is based on the assumption of the unpredictability of the financial markets and is used to maximally limit the impact of negative factors on the Company's financial results. Risk management is based on procedures approved by the Management Board.
Credit risk
Financial instruments especially exposed to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, derivatives and investments held to maturity. The Group invests cash and cash equivalents with highly reliable financial institutions. There is no significant concentration of credit risk in respect of trade and other receivables due to the fact that sales are based mainly on cash and credit card payments. The Group increased an impairment of the Group's receivables exposed to credit risk in amount of PLN 7.549 thousand. The maximum credit risk exposure amounts to PLN 710.252 thousand.

The Group did not recognize impairment on overdue trade and other receivables of PLN 18.273 thousand because it believes that they will be recovered in full.
Interest rate risk
Bank borrowings drawn by the Group are most often based on fluctuating interest rates (note 19). As at December 31, 2017 the Group does not hedge against changes in cash flows resulting from interest rate fluctuations which have an impact on the results. The Group analyses the market position relating to interest on loans in terms of potential refinancing of debt or renegotiating the lending terms and conditions. The impact of changes in interest rates on results is analysed in quarterly periods.
Had the interest rates on loans denominated in Polish zlotys during the 12 months ended December 31, 2017 30 base points higher/lower, the profit before tax for the period would have been PLN 1.473 thousand lower/higher (2016: PLN 1.248 thousand).
Had the interest rates on loans denominated in Czech crowns during the 12 months ended December 31, 2017 been 30 base points higher/lower, the profit before tax for the period would have been PLN 166 thousand lower/higher (2016: PLN 188 thousand).
Had the interest rates on loans denominated in euro during the 12 months ended December 31, 2017 been 30 base points higher/lower, the profit before tax for the period would have been PLN 1.954 thousand lower/higher (2016: PLN 2.264 thousand).
Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk related to transactions in currencies other than the functional currency in which the business operations are measured in particular Group companies. Foreign exchange risk results from future business transactions, recognized assets and liabilities. Moreover, lease payments related to a significant part of the Group's lease agreements are indexed to the exchange rate of EUR or USD. Nevertheless, the Group is trying to sign lease agreements in local currencies whenever possible, but many landlords require that the lease payments be indexed to EUR or to USD.
For hedging transactional risk and risk resulting from revaluation of recognized assets and liabilities Group uses derivative forward financial instruments.
Net investment foreign currency valuation risk
Group is exposed to risk of net investment valuation in subsidiaries valued in foreign currencies. This risk is hedged for key positions with use of net investment hedge.
In 2016 Group applies hedging accounting for revaluation of borrowings, in EUR constituting net investment hedges in Hungarian and Spanish entities. Details concerning hedging on currency risk are described in note 19.
Sensitivity analysis
As at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Group's assets and liabilities are denominated mainly in the functional currencies of the Group members.
As at December 31, 2017 if foreign exchange rates would increase by 10% effect of net investment hedge valuation would not influence net income due to 100% efficiency of the hedge. Effect on the comprehensive income would be in the value of PLN 129.905 thousand (2016: PLN 78.637 thousand).
Liquidity risk
Prudent financial liquidity management assumes that sufficient cash and cash equivalents are maintained and that further financing is available from guaranteed funds from credit lines.
The table below shows an analysis of the Group's financial liabilities which will be settled in net amounts in particular ageing brackets, on the basis of the term to maturity as at the balance sheet date. The amounts shown in the table constitute contractual, undiscounted cash flows.
The maturity break-down of long- and short-term borrowings as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is presented in the table below:

Capital risk
The Group manages capital risk to protect its ability to continue in operation, so as to enable it to realize returns for its shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce its cost. Financing at the level of 3.5 of yearly EBITDA is treated as acceptable target and safe level of capital risk.
The Group monitors capital using the gearing ratio. The ratio is calculated as net debt to the value of EBITDA. Net debt is calculated as the sum of borrowings (comprising loans and advances, and finance lease liabilities) net of cash and cash equivalents. EBITDA is calculated as the profit from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and impairment.
The Group's gearing as at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is as follows:
| 31.12.2017 | 31.12.2016 | |
|---|---|---|
| Total borrowings (note 19) | 1 969 855 | 1 262 288 |
| Finance lease liabilities (note 24) | 8 778 | 9 516 |
