The most important contribution to CD PROJEKT Capital Group revenues in Q1 2018 was from Revenues from sales of products, which include licensing royalties corresponding to strong ongoing sales of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, along with its expansion packs – Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, as well as revenues obtained in the scope of GWENT: The Witcher Card Game. Revenues from sales of goods and materials were primarily driven by sales carried out by GOG.com, as well as – to a lesser extent – sales of physical videogame components (carrier media, boxes etc.) by CD PROJEKT RED.
Since all expenses associated with development of currently marketed CD PROJEKT RED products (including The Witcher, The Witcher 2, The Witcher 3, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine) had already been fully discounted, the CD PROJEKT Group – much like in the corresponding period in 2017 – reported no significant Cost of products and services sold during Q1 2018. The most important cost item affecting the Group's overall pre-tax profit was the Cost of products and materials sold, mostly related to sales of external products via the GOG.com platform, as well as – to a lesser extent – sales of physical videogame components (carrier media, boxes etc.) by CD PROJEKT RED.
Regarding operating costs, the key item was Selling costs, the bulk of which was associated with promotional activities carried out in each of the Group's activity segments, in addition to transaction costs related to digital sales on the GOG.com platform. Furthermore, this line item aggregates employee compensation and provisions for bonuses contingent upon the Group's financial result.
Compensation and provisions for bonuses contingent upon the Group's financial result also constitute the bulk of General and administrative expenses.
The aggregate value of General and administrative expenses and Selling costs in Q1 2018 was comparable to the corresponding Q1 2017 figure.
The reported surplus of Financial revenues over Financial expenses is mainly due to collection of interest on short-term bank deposits.
The Group's consolidated Net profit in Q1 2018 was lower than the corresponding Q1 2017 figure. While operating expenses remained at a similar level, sales revenues were lower – a natural consequence of the passage of time since the release of The Witcher 3 and its expansion packs, and also of the strengthening of PLN against currencies in which the Group's conducts most of its sales (USD and EUR).
A separate commentary on the Q1 2018 result of the GOG.com segment can be found in Section 3 of this financial statement, detailing the activity segments of the CD PROJEKT Capital Group.
The Group's net profitability (share of net profit in sales revenues) in Q1 2018 was 30%.

The value and structure of Fixed assets did not undergo appreciable changes in Q1 2018 except for Expenditures on development projects, which increased as a result of ongoing development of future products – including the Group's largest projects, i.e. Cyberpunk 2077, GWENT: The Witcher Card Game (which remains in open beta as of the publication date of this statement) and GWENT: Thronebreaker.
The reduction in the Group's Trade receivables compared to the end of 2017 is associated with collection of receivables outstanding at the end of Q4 2017 – a period during which the Group reported strong sales, resulting in an increase in the value of trade receivables at the end of the year.
The group's Other receivables are mostly due to withholding tax deducted at source by foreign licensees of CD PROJEKT S.A. and reportable in the Company's annual fiscal statement, in addition to advance payments remitted to suppliers and VAT receivables.
With regard to Prepaid expenses, the most important contribution to the reported figure was from minimum guarantees, i.e. licensing royalties advanced by GOG sp. z o.o. to copyright holders in association with distribution of videogames on GOG.com.
At the end of March 2018 the Group held 84 122 thousand PLN in Cash and cash equivalents and an additional 577 917 thousand PLN in Bank deposits (maturity beyond 3 months), for a total of 662 039 thousand PLN. This represents an increase by 14 523 thousand PLN compared to the end of 2017.

* adjusted data
The reported increase in Equity over the first quarter of 2018 is mostly due to profit obtained in the reporting period (22 892 thousand PLN).
As of 31 March 2018 the Group's Trade liabilities comprised mainly liabilities of the GOG.com segment (including liabilities payable to CD PROJEKT S.A., associated with distribution of CD PROJEKT RED products on GOG.com and subject to consolidation eliminations), and – to a much lesser extent – trade liabilities of the CD PROJEKT RED segment.
Other liabilities were primarily related to current VAT liabilities at GOG sp. z o.o.
The bulk of Other provisions comprises provisions for future liabilities, including conditional compensation contingent upon the Group's financial result.

Condensed interim consolidated financial statement of the CD PROJEKT Capital Group for the period between 1 January and 31 March 2018 (all figures quoted in PLN thousands unless indicated otherwise) The appended information constitutes an integral part of the consolidated financial statement.
The reported Cash flows from operating activities in Q1 2017 were 37 008 thousand PLN, chiefly as a result of sales and financial result for the current period, along with a reduction in the Group's trade receivables corresponding to Q4 2017 sales.
The negative value of Cash flows from investment activities is mostly due to R&D expenditures – 21 249 thousand PLN in the first quarter of 2018, allocated primarily to development of Cyberpunk 2077, GWENT: The Witcher Card Game and GWENT: Thronebreaker. Additionally, the Group reported as investment outflows its cash assets allocated to bank deposits with maturity periods beyond 3 months (179 259 thousand PLN), while similar bank deposits held to maturity were reported as inflows (181 871 thousand PLN).
The balance of the Group's Total net cash flows over the first three months of 2018 was 17 135 thousand PLN. As of 31 March 2018 the Group held 84 122 in cash assets and 577 917 in bank deposits with maturity periods in excess of 3 months, for a total of 662 039 thousand PLN, which corresponds to an increase by 14 523 thousand PLN compared to the end of 2017.

Consolidation principles
Entities subjected to consolidation
| capital share | voting share | consolidation method | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CD PROJEKT S.A. | parent entity | - | - |
| GOG sp. z o.o. | 100% | 100% | full |
| CD PROJEKT Inc. | 100% | 100% | full |
| CD PROJEKT Co., Ltd. | 100% | 100% | excluded from consolidation |
In accordance with the accounting policies in force within the Group, the parent entity may elect to exclude certain subsidiaries from consolidation as long as each of these subsidiaries:
- contributes not more than 2% to the parent entity's profit and loss balance,
- contributes not more than 1% to the parent entity's aggregate sales and financial revenues.
Note that the above values are not inclusive of any transactions between the subsidiary and the parent company which would have otherwise been subject to consolidation eliminations.
In addition to the above, all subsidiaries excluded from consolidation must jointly:
- contribute not more than 5% to the parent entity's profit and loss balance,
- contribute not more than 2% to the parent entity's aggregate sales and financial revenues.
The above values are also not inclusive of any transactions between each subsidiary and the parent company which would have otherwise been subject to consolidation eliminations.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are defined as all entities which fall under the Group's control. An entity is considered to fall under the Group's control if all of the following criteria are met:
- executive control, i.e. possession of the required legal title to direct the entity's significant operations (operations, which significantly affect the entity's financial standing),
- exposure to variation in the entity's financial results, or possession of the required legal title to adjust the Group's financial results in relation to the entity's own financial results.
- possession of the required administrative apparatus to affect the Group's own financial results by exercising the right to affect financial results attributable to the Group by leveraging the Group's involvement in the entity
Subsidiaries which meet materiality criteria are subject to full consolidation from the date of acquisition of control by the Group and cease to be reported as such on the day control is lost.
Any revenues, expenses, settlements and unrealized gains on transactions between companies belonging to the Group are eliminated in full. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the nature of the transaction indicates impairment on any of the transferred assets. Accounting practices in use at subsidiary companies are adjusted whenever necessary to ensure compliance with accounting practices adopted by the Group.

Functional currency and presentation currency
Functional currency and presentation currency
The functional currency of the Group and its parent entity, and the presentation currency of this financial statement is the Polish Zloty (PLN). Unless specified otherwise, all figures are quoted in PLN thousands.
Transactions and balances
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are converted to the functional currency according to the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Exchange rate losses and gains on settlement of transactions and on valuation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are reported in the profit and loss statement unless deferred in the equity capital as cash flow hedges and hedges of net investments.
Assumption of comparability of financial statements and changes in accounting policies
The accounting practices applied in preparing this condensed interim consolidated financial statement, the Management Board's professional judgment concerning the Group's accounting practices as well as the main sources of uncertainty in estimations are in all material aspects consistent with the practices applied in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statement of the CD PROJEKT Capital Group for 2017, except for changes in accounting policies and presentation-related adjustments described below. This condensed interim consolidated financial statement should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statement for 2017.
Changes in accounting policies
IFRS 9 Financial instruments
This financial statement marks the first time the Group has applied IFRS 9 Financial instruments. The Group has opted to forgo adjusting data representing past reporting periods, except for adjustments associated with changes introduced by IFRS in relation to IAS 1 Preparation of financial statements, which mandate recognition of impairment losses (including reversal of impairment loses or gains) on financial instrument as a separate line item in the profit and loss account. As a consequence of this change, the comparative data in the profit and loss account for the three-month period between 1 January and 31 March 2017 has been adjusted accordingly. The reported adjustment concerns presentation of data only and has no impact on the Group's operating profit. Previously, all such costs had been aggregated with other operating expenses.
The Group had initially planned to aggregate the effects of initial application of IFRS 9 in its opening balance of retained earnings; however, given the fact that the loss allowances on financial assets calculated for 1 January 2018 in accordance with the new rules are not materially different from allowances already reported in the Group's financial statement for 31 December 2017, the Group has instead decided to forgo adjusting its opening balance of retained earnings in association with applying IFRS 9 for the first time.
IFRS 9 defines four categories of financial assets, differing with regard to the applied business model and the characteristics of the associated cash flows:
- assets classified at amortized cost this category comprises financial assets held under a business model whose aim is to collect contractual cash flows, where the business contract concerning these assets stipulates cash flows related solely to repayment of the principal and interests; in other words, assets which pass the so-called SPPI test (solely payment of principal and interest),
- assets classified at fair value reported in other comprehensive income this category comprises financial assets held under a business model whose aim is to both collect contractual cash flows and to potentially sell the relevant assets, where the business contract concerning these assets stipulates cash flows related solely to repayment of the principal and interests; in other words, assets which pass the so-called SPPI test (solely payment of principal and interest),
- assets classified at fair value through profit and loss all other financial assets,
- financial hedges derivative financial instruments designated as hedges.
Each financial asset is assigned to one of the above categories on initial recognition. This assignment may change only if the associated business model changes. Essential classes of business models are as follows: assets held to collect contractual cash flows; assets held to collect contractual cash flows and potentially sell the asset; assets held for reasons others than those listed previously (as a rule, this is construed as holding assets for trading). The Group has adopted a rule stating that the sale of a financial asset prior to its maturity does not, in itself, cause the underlying business model to shift from holding assets to collect contractual cash flows to holding assets to collect contractual cash flows and potentially sell the assets or to holding assets for other purposes.
As the Group does not engage in hedge accounting, the corresponding IFRS 9 provisions do not apply to the Group's activities.
IFRS 9 does not result in a change in the classification of the Group's financial liabilities, which will continue to be recognized at amortized cost.
The following table illustrates changes in the classification of financial instruments as of 1 January 2018 which is the date of initial application of IFRS 9 at the Group. Applying the new standard in place of IAS 39 has not resulted in a methodological change in the appraisal of financial assets and liabilities. The default appraisal method continues to be the amortized cost method; consequently, the balance of financial assets and liabilities on the initial application day of IFRS 9 remains unchanged in comparison with IAS 39.
| Classification according to: | Balance sheet value | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial asset | IAS 39 | IFRS 9 | under IAS 39 and IFRS 9 as of 1 January 2018 |
| Other long-term receivables | Loans and receivables recognized at amortized cost |

Another major change introduced by IFRS 9 concerns recognition of credit risk in association with assets which constitute financial instrument. The existing present losses model has been replaced by a new expected losses model.
The basis for determining loss allowances in the ECL (expected credit loss) model is a procedure under which the Group monitors changes in credit risk associated with each financial asset since its initial recognition, and assigns each financial asset to one of the following three stages (this method is applicable to financial assets held at amortized cost which are not trade receivables):
- Stage 1 performing (applicable to financial assets which show no significant deterioration in credit quality since initial recognition)
- Stage 2 under-performing (applicable in cases of significant deterioration in credit quality when there are no objective reasons to suspect impairment)
- Stage 3 impaired (applicable in cases where objective reasons to suspect impairment exist)
With regard to Stage 1 assets the Group calculates ECL over the upcoming 12 months and recognizes the appropriate allowance, whereas with regard to Stages 2 and 3 the Group recognizes a loss allowance corresponding to the ECL over the entire lifetime of the given financial asset.
For each balance sheet date the Group performs an assessment of its financial assets with respect to the presented ECL stages. In doing so, the Group acknowledges changes in the risk of default during the expected lifetime of the financial asset rather than the corresponding changes in expected credit losses. The procedure requires the Group to compare the risk of default for a given financial instrument on the balance sheet date with the corresponding risk on its initial recognition, taking into account all rational and documented information which may be acquired without undue cost or effort, and which suggests a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. Such information may include changes in the debtor's credit rating, awareness of the debtor's financial distress or of detrimental changes in the debtor's economic, legal, technological or market environment. When assessing ECLs the Group relies primarily on credit ratings and the corresponding likelihood of insolvency.
With regard to trade receivables the Group applies the simplified approach provided for by the standard and recognizes a loss allowance corresponding to the ECL over the entire lifetime of the given receivable. This approach is a consequence of the fact that the Group's receivables do not involve a significant financing element as defined by IFRS 15. When calculating the relevant loss allowances the Group applies the provision matrix method under which allowances are calculated separately for each overdue period bracket. This method acknowledges historical credit losses as well as identifiable future factors and (e.g. market or macroeconomic projections).
The likelihood of credit default is estimated on the basis of historical data concerning overdue receivables. In order to calculate non-performance coefficients the Group has decided upon five overdue period brackets:
-
- Not overdue,
-
- Overdue by 1-60 days,
-
- Overdue by 61-90 days,
-
- Overdue by 91-180 days,
-
- Overdue by 181-360 days,
-
- Overdue by more than 360 days.
For each of the above brackets the Group estimates a non-performance coefficient which acknowledges historical data concerning failure to settle invoices on the part of the Group's business partners throughout three years prior to the reporting period covered by the given financial statement. The expected credit loss is then computed by multiplying the aggregate receivables in a given bracket by the non-performance coefficient corresponding to that bracket.
With regard to trade receivables the Group also allows for custom appraisal of the expected credit losses. In particular this applies to:
- receivables from debtors undergoing liquidation or insolvency proceedings,
- receivables contested by the debtor or cases where the debtor is in arrears,
- other past-due receivables as well as receivables which are not overdue, but whose default risk is, in the Board's opinion, significant (in particular case where the expected litigation and enforcement costs exceed the amount in controversy).
In the above cases the Group may recognize loss allowances corresponding to 100% of the given receivable.
The Group may refrain from recognizing loss allowances on receivables which are overdue by more than 360 days if, following individual analysis, the Group concludes that it is in possession of a credible and documented declaration of payment issued by the debtor.
Financial assets are written off in full once the Group has exhausted all practical enforcement options and concludes that there are no longer any rational grounds to expect collection of the receivable. This is usually the case when a receivable is overdue by more than 360 days.
As of 31 December 2017 and as of 31 March 2018 the Group has not identified any financial assets for which it would be permitted to apply recognition at fair value through financial result so as to reduce or eliminate accounting mismatch (i.e. inconsistency between recognition and evaluation) which would otherwise arise as a result of recognition of financial assets at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Group has also not availed itself of the option to recognize financial liabilities at fair value. In such cases, changes in fair value which correspond to changes in credit risk would be aggregated with other comprehensive income while – once the given financial liability is derecognized – the value previously aggregated with other comprehensive income would not be allocated to the financial result.
IFRS 15 and clarifications regarding IFRS 15 – Revenues from contracts with customers
This financial statement marks the Group's initial application of IFRS 15 Revenues from contracts with customers. This standard institutes the so-called Five Step Model when recognizing revenues from contracts with customers. According to IFRS 15, the revenue is recognized at the transaction price, which – in line with the entity's expectations – is payable in exchange for the products or services delivered to the customer. The new standard supersedes all existing requirements concerning recognition of revenues under IFRS.
Licensing royalties associated with distribution of videogames
Under the new regulation, entities which grant customers licenses to use their intellectual property must determine whether the license is transferred to the customer over a period of time or at a specific point in time. Licenses transferred at a point in time give the customer the right to use the entity's intellectual property as it existed at the moment the license was transferred. In order to recognize the corresponding revenue, the customer must possess the means to direct the use of the corresponding intellectual property, and gain all other essential benefits associated with its use. A license transferred over a period of time permits the client to use the intellectual property throughout the license period. During this period the client may expect that the entity will undertake actions which significantly affect the relevant intellectual property (i.e. significantly alter its form or content, with the client's ability to gain the benefits of its use dependent on actions undertaken by the owner). In such cases the revenue is recognized over the license period.
With regard to videogame licensing royalties, which represent the Group's main source of revenues, the actual value of revenues depends the sales volume reported by the distributor during a given period. In light of this, revenues from sales of a specific product will be recognized over time once the distributor obtains all materials required in order to commence distribution. Consequently, no changes in the Group's accounting practices are necessary compared to IAS 18 (previously applied at the Capital Group).
Revenues from sales of virtual goods via microtransactions
In the Group's view, IFRS 15 may affect recognition of revenues from sales of virtual goods in the framework of online F2P games with optional microtransactions, including GWENT: The Witcher Card Game. This conclusion indicates the need to conduct an analysis (mandated by IFRS 15) whether such products and services concerned are delivered to customers over time or at a specific point in time.
As a rule, virtual goods offered in videogames are divided into two categories: durable virtual goods (where the user gains the right to use an item indefinitely and the item is not consumed during its use) and consumable virtual goods. With regard to the former category, revenues are recognized over time, based on in-game statistics (such as the usage period of a given item), while for the latter category, revenues are recognized either at the moment of use or in proportion to the amount of goods consumed.
With regard to revenues from sales of virtual currencies, the Group will recognize them at the moment the currency is consumed by the user.
In light of the above the Group has conducted an analysis of the structure of virtual goods sold, their corresponding usage statistics and the turnover of the game's virtual currency (meteorite dust). It was concluded that application of IFRS 15 does not produce a material change in the reported financial data. Consequently, the Board has opted not to recognize revenues from sales of virtual goods over time.
During the assessment of the impact of the new standard on the Group's financial statement it was determined that IFRS 15 does not materially alter the recognition of revenues by the Capital Group given the existing mechanics and usage statistics of GWENT. Nevertheless, it should be noted that GWENT remains in its development and testing phase and, consequently, the presented assessment may not hold during future reporting periods.
Should the Group determine that, as a result of changes in game mechanics, recognition of revenues from microtransactions over time has become necessary, the corresponding values will be aggregated with deferred revenues.
Principal compensation vs. agent compensation in the GOG.com segment
In line with the new standard, when delivery of goods or services to the client involves a third party, it is necessary to determine whether the vendor's obligation is to ensure that certain goods or services are provisioned (in which case the vendor is the principal) or to subcontract delivery of goods or services to another party (in which case the vendor is an agent).
The vendor is the principal to the transaction if it exerts controls over the specified goods or services prior to their delivery to the client. A principal vendor may itself discharge the delivery promise and recognize gross revenues to which it is entitled in exchange for delivery of goods or services.
The vendor is an agent if its obligation is discharged by ensuring that the goods or services are delivered by another party. An agent vendor recognizes its revenues as any fees or royalties to which – in its own view – it will be entitled in exchange for facilitating delivery of goods or services by a third party.
The above considerations may have an effect only on those revenues which the Group obtains in its GOG.com segment in association with distribution of licenses obtained from third parties. In this activity segment the Group concludes contracts with end users in its own name and on its own account, on the basis of distribution licenses for the electronic content which is distributed to end users. The Group also directly maintains and distributes the electronic content in question (i.e. game files). This indicates that the nature of the Group's promise to the customer is to deliver specific goods or services and not to subcontract such delivery to a third party (i.e. the Group is the principal and not an agent).
Additional arguments which support the view that the Group acts as the principal and not an agent are as follows:
- corporate liability under the appropriate customer protection legislation;
- undertaking credit risk with regard to the payments owed by customers;
- pledge to provide technical support and liability for product defects;
- implementation of reward systems (such as store credit granted to customers) for which the Group is solely liable.
According to IFRS 15 a sale with a right of return occurs when the vendor offers the customer a right of return of the purchased product. In line with the new standard, the right of return does not constitute a separate liability; however, potential returns may result in variable revenues since actual sales revenues will now depend on future events (i.e. returns).
The standard stipulates that the entity should avoid recognizing revenues for goods which, in its estimates, are going to be returned. In order to provide this estimate, the entity may apply either of two methods provided for by the standard:
- the expected value method,
- the most likely outcome method.
When estimating the value of returns the entity should acknowledge all available information, both historical and forwardlooking. In light of the expected returns and the corresponding partial loss of revenues, the entity should recognize liabilities in correspondence with the appropriate reduction of revenues in its profit and loss account. In addition, the entity should recognize an asset which reflects the recovery of products or goods returned by clients. The value of this asset corresponds to the cost of creation or purchase of the relevant products of goods less any applicable recovery costs. Such assets are aggregated with inventories, in correspondence with the appropriate reduction in selling costs in the profit and loss account.
In its GOG.com segment the Group has instituted a returns policy under which any customer is entitled to return any games within 30 days of purchase in case of technical issues or errors which cannot be otherwise resolved and which prevent the customer from completing the game. The Group performs an assessment of the value of returns by applying the most likely outcome method, applying historical data to compute the expected average quantity of returns during a given period. If the value of actual returns is greater than or equal to the expected average value, the Group does not adjust its selling costs or the corresponding cost of goods and materials sold.
In addition, the Group recognizes the obligation to return games in cases of unlawful activity or irregularities in the payment process. In such cases, the volume of returns is estimated on the basis of reports submitted by entities which process electronic payments on behalf of the Group. Such entities log reports which initiate returns, and present the Group with summaries of contested payments whose final status is verified within 90 days.
The Group had initially planned to aggregate the effects of initial application of IFRS 15 in its opening balance of retained earnings; however, given the fact that the assets and liabilities associated with returns calculated for 1 January 2018 in accordance with the new rules are not materially different from allowances already reported in the Group's financial statement for 31 December 2017, the Group has instead decided to forgo adjusting its opening balance of retained earnings in association with applying IFRS 15 for the first time
Advance payments from clients
The Group obtains short-term advance payments from its clients. Prior to introduction of IFRS 15 such advance payments were reported as deferred revenues in the statement of financial position, and did not correspond to any cost item.
Following introduction of IFRS 15 the recognition of short-term advance payments follows the simplified procedure provided for by the new standard. With regard to such advance payments the Group will continue to forgo recognizing the corresponding cost items as long as it expects that – at the moment the relevant agreement is concluded – the period between the collection of payment for the product or service and the actual delivery of said product of service to the client will not exceed 1 year.
Requirements related to presentation and disclosure of information
IFRS 15 introduces new requirements related to presentation and disclosure of information. In meeting these requirements the Group has decided to provide additional disclosures related to (see Note 13):
- own and external products,
- main distribution channels: physical and digital distribution,
- clients' countries of residence.
Amendments to IFRS 4 – Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts
Changes concern application of the new standard (IFRS 9 Financial Instrument) prior to implementation of a new standard concerning insurance contract which is currently under development. In order to mitigate temporal variations in financial reporting associated with implementation of IFRS 9, changes in IFRS 4 specify that two approaches are permissible: the overlay approach and the deferral approach. These changes complement options which existing standards already provide. They have no impact on the accounting practices in force at the Group or on its financial data.
Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment
Amendments clarify the classification and measurement of share-based cash-settled payment transactions and the effects of changes to an equity-settled share-based payment. They have no significant impact on the accounting practices in force at the Group or on its financial data.
Amendments to IFRS (2014-2016) adopted during the annual IFRS improvements cycle
Amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of IFRS concern deletion of short-term exemptions provided for under §E3–E7 IFRS 1 since these exemptions were applicable to past reporting periods and have now served their purpose. Additional amendments have also been introduced in IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, clarifying that the election to measure at fair value through profit or loss an investment in an associate or a joint venture that is held by an entity that is a venture capital organization, or other qualifying entity, is available for each investment in an associate or joint venture on an investment-byinvestment basis, upon initial recognition. These amendments have no significant impact on the accounting practices in force at the Group or on its financial data.
Amendments to IAS 40 Investment Property: Transfers of investment property
The amendment provides clarifications and guidance on transfers to, or from, investment properties. In line with the amended standard, such a transfer should only be made only when there is evidence of a change in the use of the property. A change of use occurs if property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property. A change in management's intentions for the use of a property by itself does not constitute evidence of a change in use. These amendments have no significant impact on the accounting practices in force at the Group or on its financial data.
IFRIC 22 Foreign currency transactions and advance considerations
The IFRIC 22 interpretation concerns the exchange rate to be applied to foreign currency transactions which involve receipt or payment of advance consideration prior to recognition of the related asset, expense or income. This interpretation cannot be applied if the relevant asset, expense or income was initially estimated at fair value. This interpretation has no significant impact on the accounting practices in force at the Group or on its financial data.

Commentary on the Q1 2018 result of the GOG.com segment
In the first quarter of 2018 the Group reported lower sales revenues in its GOG.com segment than during the corresponding period in 2017. The reported Q1` 2018 sales revenues were 25 780 thousand PLN, compared to 32 871 thousand PLN in Q1 2017. Note, however, that when denominated in USD (the principal currency in which GOG conducts its sales), the aggregate sales revenues from the online platform and the GOG Galaxy client application amounted to 9 248 thousand USD, i.e. 1 226 thousand USD more than during the first quarter of 2017 (8 022 thousand USD).
The following detrimental factors are regarded as significant with regard to the difference in GOG.com sales results between Q1 2017 and Q1 2018:
1. Revenues from GWENT-related sales – which represent the most important component of GOG.com aggregate revenues – following the transnational merger between GOG Ltd. and GOG Poland sp. z o.o. and the corresponding changes in attribution of revenues associated with the project
Up until the merger date, GOG Ltd. had been excluded from the GWENT development consortium, which consisted solely of CD PROJEKT S.A. and GOG Poland sp. z o.o. As a result, any revenues obtained by GOG Ltd. from sales of GWENT items to final customers prior to the merger (along with the corresponding sales margins) were attributable entirely to GOG Ltd. and therefore reported in the GOG.com segment without being subject to division among consortium partners. GOG Ltd. subsequently recognized licensing royalties payable to its supplier, i.e. the consortium consisting of CD PROJEKT S.A. and GOG Poland sp. z o.o. These royalties were aggregated with the cost of products sold by GOG Ltd. and – on the supplier side – recognized as sales revenues proportionally by each member of the GWENT consortium. This included GOG Poland sp. z o.o. whose own results belong to the GOG.com segment, with the appropriate consolidation eliminations applied.
Following the merger the entirety of retail sales revenues associated with GWENT are recognized within the consortium and split between partners in accordance with the consortium agreement signed by CD PROJEKT S.A. and GOG sp. z o.o. Thus, the situation which existed before the merger changed as follows:
- GWENT sales revenues reportable in the GOG.com segment decreased,
- CD PROJEKT RED share of GWENT sales revenues increased,
- consolidation eliminations related to sales of goods and materials by the Group decreased this is due to the merger between GOG Ltd. and GOG Poland sp. z o.o., which resulted in cessation of mutual transactions carried out between these parties.
The current reporting period. i.e. 1 January – 31 March 2018 – is the first full reporting period during which GOG Poland sp. z o.o. and GOG Ltd. constitute a single entity.
2. Strengthening of PLN against currencies in which GOG.com carries out sales; primarily USD
The PLN/USD exchange rate applied to Q1 2018 results was 3.3882, compared to 4.0224 in Q1 2017. This major strengthening of PLN against USD means that – when applying exchange rates as specified in this consolidated financial statement – for each dollar in realized sales the revenues of the GOG.com segment were 0.63 PLN lower than during the comparative period in 2017. Note also that exports account for over 90% of GOG.com sales.
The above circumstances negatively affected both the revenues and the sales margins in the GOG.com segment compared to Q1 2017.
3. Operating costs
The reported reduction in sales revenues was compounded by a slight increase (by 5%) of operating costs when compared to the first quarter of 2017. This increase is primarily due to increased involvement of GOG sp. z o.o. in the GWENT project and its correspondingly greater share of GWENT promotional and development costs (aggregated with selling costs and general and administrative expenses) during Q1 2018.
4. Financial expenses – negative exchange rate differences
In addition, as a consequence of the aforementioned strengthening of PLN against the currencies in which GOG.com carries out the majority of its sales and settlements with copyright holders, GOG sp. z o.o. reported 443 thousand PLN in surplus negative exchange rate differences during Q1 2018. The corresponding Q1 2017 figure, calculated jointly for GOG Poland sp. z o.o. and GOG Ltd., was 4 thousand PLN.

Activity segments
In the first quarter of 2018 the Capital Group conducted activities in two key segments:
- CD PROJEKT RED,
- GOG.com.
CD PROJEKT RED
Videogame development is the main area of activity of the CD PROJEKT RED studio, a distinct operating segment of CD PROJEKT S.A. The activity covers creation and publication of videogames, licensing the associated distribution rights, coordinating marketing activities. as well as manufacturing tie-in products which exploit the commercial appeal of brands owned by the Company. In addition, the Company acts a publisher, shaping promotional campaigns which cover its own products, directly communicating with the gaming community via electronic communication channels and social media, and regularly participating in trade fairs.
The segment's videogame portfolio includes The Witcher, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, along with two expansion packs – Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, sold separately and as part of the Game of the Year Edition bundle.
CD PROJEKT S.A. has formed a consortium with GOG sp. z o.o. to jointly develop GWENT: The Witcher Card Game, a F2P online multiplayer game with optional microtransactions. This game is currently undergoing public beta tests on the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a closed beta of the Chinese edition currently underway in the People's Republic of China.
CD PROJEKT RED also continues its work on the most ambitious project in the Studio's history – the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 RPG.
GOG.com
Global digital distribution of videogames is the core activity of the GOG.com segment, carried out by GOG sp. z o.o. This activity involves selling and delivering videogames directly to the end users' devices via the Company's proprietary GOG.com platform and the GOG Galaxy application. The platform currently offers over 2 400 videogames licensed from over 550 developers, copyright holders and publishers worldwide.
All games are distributed free of cumbersome DRM restrictions. GOG sp. z o.o. also guarantees full compatibility of its videogames with popular versions of operating systems (MS Windows, Mac OS and Linux), depending on the specific support features of each game.
The GOG.com platform is available in seven languages: English, German, French, Russian, Portuguese (Brazilian edition), Chinese and Polish. Customers may remit payment in thirteen currencies and choose from a variety of convenient electronic payment methods, depending on their country of residence.
GOG.com has formed a consortium with CD PROJEKT RED to jointly develop and operate GWENT: The Witcher Card Game. In the framework of this consortium, GOG.com is responsible for the game's server infrastructure and networking features as well as for player support (jointly with CD PROJEKT RED).
Disclosure of the issuer's significant accomplishments and shortcomings in each activity segment in the first quarter of 2018
CD PROJEKT RED
GWENT: product development
In February 2018 CD PROJEKT RED unveiled and subsequently launched a new GWENT gameplay mode – the Arena – which comes with a range of gameplay improvements and additional cards.
In April the Company announced its plans concerning further development of GWENT in 2018. Under the GWENT: Homecoming project the card game will be subjected to changes which aim to bring it closer to its roots and to fine-tune its core aspects. The project will culminate with the end of the public beta phase and the official release of Thronebreaker – a single-player campaign offering multiple hours of gameplay.
The marketing activities of CD PROJEKT RED in the first quarter of 2018 focused on unveiling the Arena mode and on e-sports tournaments organized by CD PROJEKT RED in the framework of the GWENT Masters series.
Three tournaments were held by the publication date of this statements – two GWENT Open events (in January and March) and one GWENT Challenger event (in April). On 28-29 April 2018, in the Wieliczka Salt Mine, nearly 100 meters below ground, the Company held its third GWENT Challenger tournament, with a prize pool of 100 000 USD. The grand prize went to Damian "TailBot" Kaźmierczak. The event proved popular with GWENT fans around the world.
Events related to The Witcher games
On 6 March 2018 the Studio added support for running The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings on Xbox One X in the backward compatibility mode, in near-4K resolution, with a ninefold increase in the number of pixels, remastered textures and improved antialiasing effects. Previously, the game had only been available on Xbox 360.
On 15 March 2018 Bandai Namco Entertainment and CD PROJEKT RED jointly announced that Geralt of Rivia would be making a guest appearance in Soulcalibur VI as one of the game's playable characters, and that the Witcher's visage would be featured on the game's box.
In March 2018 Game Informer – the most widely circulated gaming magazine in the world – released its 300th issue. To mark the occasion, its editors organized a survey where readers could vote on the world's best videogames of all time. The ranking, published on 19 March 2018, was topped by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
GOG.com
Publishing activities
In Q1 2018 the catalogue of PC classics offered on GOG.com was expanded with (among others) Carmageddon TDR 2000, the Close Combat series (adapted for state-of-the-art platforms by GOG.com), MAFIA II and The Curse of Monkey Island – a widely anticipated and not otherwise available successor to LicasArts' hit point-and-click adventure game series. Brand-new releases published during this period included Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Surviving Mars and Into the Breach. The latter game was covered by a special offer whereby purchasers also received a free copy of FTL – its developer's previous release.
Sales support
In the first three months of 2018, in addition to weekly sales, GOG.com also organized several targeted promotional campaigns. In January, as part of the New Year's Resolutions sale the platform offered discounts on games associated with specific resolutions. 2018 also marks the first time GOG.com celebrates the Chinese New Year.
In Q1 2018 GOG.com initiated cooperation with several notable live streamers, including one of the most prominent personalities worldwide – CohhCarnage, who now features GOG.com and his collection of favorite games during his streams. This enables GOG.com to reach the nearly 1 million viewers who follow CohhCarnage's webcasts on Twitch.tv. Similar cooperation was also initiated with streamers representing other territories: Germany (Bonjwa), France (MisterMV) and Poland (ROJO).
Other achievements
On 16 March 2018 CD PROJEKT S.A. entered the WIG20 index which aggregates twenty of the largest and most liquid companies on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. CD PROJEKT S.A. stock contributes 3.83% to the value of the index.
On 26 March 2018 CD PROJEKT again (for the third time in a row) won top honors in the XIX edition of the prestigious Stock Exchange Company of the Year ranking published by Puls Biznesu. The Company took first place in the Management Competence category and second place in the Product and Service Innovation and Success in 2017 categories. The ranking is based on a survey conducted among approximately 100 capital market specialists – analysts, stock brokers and investment advisors.
Disclosure of factors which may affect future Group results
Similarly to other entities which conduct activities on the domestic and international market, CD PROJEKT member companies are affected by a wide range of external factors, including changes in micro- and macroeconomic conditions, new legal regulations and fiscal reforms.
With regard to the upcoming quarterly periods, the CD PROJEKT Capital Group intends to continue carrying out activities in its two core segments – CD PROJEKT RED and GOG.com. Specific vectors of development are laid out in the Strategy of the CD PROJEKT Capital Group for 2016-2021, announced in March 2016 and available on the Company website at https://www.cdprojekt.com/en/capital-group/strategy/.
Concerning external factors, in the opinion of the Board of CD PROJEKT S.A. the financial results of the CD PROJEKT RED segment and therefore of the entire Capital Group will be strongly affected by future sales of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt along with its two expansion packs – Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. These products will be promoted throughout 2018 using both traditional and digital distribution channels, in particular during seasonal sales.
Future results of the Capital Group will also depend on popular reception of the GWENT "Homecoming" project, during which the game is being modified and updated in preparation for its official release in the second half of the year. Favorable opinions on the part of gamers may result in improved player acquisition and retention, and therefore better economic prospects associated with this product. The release of Thronebreaker – a complex single-player campaign which combines RPG and card gameplay features – is scheduled to occur in the same period, presenting – in the Company's opinion – an opportunity to attract fans of The Witcher series to GWENT, and also to entice card game aficionados to try their hand at The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
In 2018 the Company intends to continue organizing GWENT Masters e-sports tournaments. Success of the GWENT Open and GWENT Challenger events scheduled for 2018, as well as of the GWENT Masters World Championship, measured as the number of concurrent viewers and aggregate viewing time, may result in enhanced product visibility and increased interest in GWENT on the part of gamers. On the other hand, organizing and promoting regular e-sports events will result in further expenses in the upcoming quarters of 2018.
In the GOG.com segment further growth will depend on expanding the platform's catalogue with additional products, and reaching an ever greater customer base.
GOG sp. z o.o. is in talks with leading global videogame publishers and continues to expand its portfolio. Each new release on GOG.com contributes to the platform's popularity and drives up sales. In addition to adding new products GOG sp. z o.o. also seeks to increase its user base by attracting new players – those who have not yet set up a GOG.com account. The Company has been successful in this regard, owing to its PR activities and synergies resulting from cooperation with CD PROJEKT S.A. The GOG.com customer pool continues to grow at a steady pace.
Further growth of activities in the GOG.com segment, including the potential to acquire unique know-how and experience, and to fully exploit the Company's technological expertise, will be influenced by the Company's involvement in the GWENT project, where GOG.com is responsible for networking and user support. GWENT's market success should translate into better market recognition of GOG.com, allowing the Company to reach new potential customers around the world.
Disclosure of seasonal or cyclical activities
CD PROJEKT RED
CD PROJEKT RED usually takes between 2 and 4 years to produce a game. Initial development work occurs before the previous game in the series is complete and ready to be released. The Witcher 2 debuted on the PC in May 2011 while the Xbox 360 edition was released on 17 April 2012. The release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt took place on 19 May 2015. Sales of the base game were bolstered by two expansion packs: Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine (both released within twelve months of the original launch) as well as by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Game of the Year Edition, released in August 2016.
GWENT – The Witcher Card Game (currently in development) is conceived as a "game as a service" where the scope of development, resources committed to the project and future sales revenues depend on the popularity of the service. GWENT will ultimately be available both as a multiplayer platform and a single-player campaign-based game. CD PROJEKT RED is also continuing with its work on Cyberpunk 2077 – the largest development project in the Company's history.
Figure 1 Effect of releases on CD PROJEKT RED quarterly sales revenues (PLN thousands).
GOG.com
The digital videogame distribution market, which is the main area of activity of GOG.com, is characterized by seasonal fluctuations in revenues. On an annual basis, the highest revenues are typically obtained in the fourth quarter while the lowest revenues correspond to the third quarter. Sales in Q2 and Q4 are boosted by promotional activities organized in these periods. Ultimately, however, sales volume is primarily dependent on the release schedule.
Figure 2 GOG.com quarterly revenues from sales to external clients; 2011-2017 (PLN thousands)
The high revenues obtained in Q2 2015 were strongly affected by the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. In turn, the most important release of Q2 2016 was that of Blood and Wine – an expansion pack for The Witcher 3. The spike observed in the second quarter of 2017 was conditioned by revenues from microtransactions in GWENT: The Witcher Card Game for the PC, which was released as an open beta on 24 May 2017 on GOG.com.
Disclosure of key clients
The CD PROJEKT Capital Group collaborates with external clients whose share in revenues exceeds 10% of the consolidated sales revenues of the Capital Group.
Within the CD PROJEKT RED segment the activities of CD PROJEKT S.A. carried out in collaboration with one external client generated revenues (calculated incrementally until the end of Q1 2018) which exceeded 10% of the consolidated sales revenues of the CD PROJEKT Capital Group – specifically, 17 914 thousand PLN, which represents 23.7% of the Group's consolidated sales revenues.
The abovementioned client is not affiliated with CD PROJEKT S.A. or any of its subsidiaries. In other activity segments no single client accounted for more than 10% of the consolidated sales revenues of the Capital Group.
Supplementary information – additional notes and clarifications regarding the condensed interim consolidated financial statement
4
The Group's assets, liabilities, equity and cash flows during the first quarter of 2018 were primarily affected by ongoing sales of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, together with its expansion packs (Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine), as well as development of future CD PROJEKT RED releases (Cyberpunk 2077, GWENT: The Witcher Card Game and GWENT: Thronebreaker).
No circumstances affecting assets, liabilities, equity, net financial result or cash flows which could be considered unusual due to their type, size or effect occurred during the reporting period.
On 28 November 2017 the parent Company took part in a call for bids to acquire the commercial property located at Jagiellońska 76 in Warsaw, directly adjacent to the Company's current registered office. In the course of this process the bid submitted by the Company was deemed best and a preliminary purchase agreement was duly signed on 11 January 2018. In line with this agreement, the Company remitted an advance payment in the amount of 1 666 666.65 PLN. As of the submission date of this report, outstanding payments associated with the aforementioned purchase agreement amount to 9 444 444.35 PLN. The corresponding final agreement should be signed and ownership of the property transferred to the Company by 11 January 2019, pending approval of the sale of the property by the State Solicitors' Office.

Rules governing transactions with affiliates
Intragroup transactions are conducted in accordance with the Directive of the Finance Minister of 10 September 2009 specifying the rules for estimating the income of legal entities and avoiding double taxation when adjusting the income of affiliated legal entities (unified text: Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland 2014, item no. 1186), as well as with OECD guidelines regarding transfer prices.
In each case, selection of the appropriate pricing model is preceded by careful analysis of the given transaction, specifically, the assignment of responsibilities and financial exposure of each party, along with the associated risks, costs and business strategies. As a result, transactions between member companies of the CD PROJEKT Capital Group closely reflect similar transactions concluded by unaffiliated entities.
For significant transactions exceeding the limits specified in Art. 9a of the corporate income tax law all participating entities submit the required tax forms.

Note 23. Agreements which may, in the future, result in changes in the proportion of shares held by shareholders and bondholders
On 24 May 2016 the General Meeting of Shareholders voted to institute a new incentive program covering the years 2016-2021. According to the program's conditions, a maximum of 6 000 000 entitlements may be granted. Implementation of the program may be carried out by issuing and assigning series B subscription warrants, entitling holders to claim parent Company shares issued as a conditional increase in the Company share capital, or by presenting entitled parties with an offer to buy existing shares which the Company will have previously bought back on the open market. In either case, implementation of the program is contingent upon meeting specific result goals (80% of entitlements) and market goals (20% of entitlements), in addition to a loyalty criterion which applies to each entitled party until such time as the attainment of either goal is officially declared.
In conjunction with assignment of Series B subscription warrants, the parent Company is also discretionarily empowered to present each entitled party with an offer to repurchase said warrants, in part or in whole, for redemption.
Note 24. Fiscal settlements
Fiscal settlements and other areas of activity governed by legal regulations (such as import duties or currency exchange) may be subject to audits by administrative bodies authorized to impose high penalties and sanctions. The lack of entrenched legal regulations in Poland leads to numerous ambiguities and inconsistencies in this regard. Interpretation of existing tax law frequently varies from state organ to state organ as well as between state organs and business entities, giving rise to areas of uncertainty and conflict. These conditions increase tax risks in Poland beyond the level encountered in states with more developed fiscal systems.
Fiscal settlements may be subject to state audits within five years following the end of the period in which tax payment was effected.
On 15 July 2016 the Tax Code was amended to reflect the stipulations of the General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR). The goal of GAAR is to discourage creation and exploitation of fictitious legal structures which serve primarily as a means of avoiding taxation. GAAR defines tax avoidance as any activity which is carried out specifically to obtain fiscal relief in a manner contrary to the goal and substance of the applicable tax laws. Under GAAR, such activities provide no fiscal relief if carried out under false pretenses. Specifically, (i) unnecessary partitioning of activities; (ii) involving intermediaries despite the lack of economic justification for such involvement; (iii) activities which produce a state identical or materially similar to the state which existed prior to initiation of such activities; (iv) mutually compensating or counterbalancing activities or (v) activities which carry excessive economic risk given the expected benefits, except for fiscal benefits, giving rise to the conclusion that a rational entity would not have undertaken such risk – all such activities may be regarded as carried out under false pretenses and therefore subject to GAAR. The introduction of GAAR will mandate much more diligent assessment of the fiscal consequences of transactions carried out by the Company.
GAAR is applicable to transactions carried out following its introduction as well as to preceding transactions, if such transactions continued to generate tax benefits on the date of introduction of GAAR. Implementation of the abovementioned rules enables Polish tax authorities to question legal agreements concluded by taxable entities, such as restructurization and reorganization of the Capital Group, and also, in certain cases, refuse to issue binding interpretations upon which fiscal settlements can be carried out.

Note 26. Events occurring after the balance sheet date
On 18 May 2018 CD PROJEKT concluded an agreement to purchase the Wrocław-based Strange New Things (SNT) development studio. This purchase expands the CD PROJEKT RED team with around 20 professionals who possess longstanding videogame development experience. The purchase will enable CD PROJEKT RED to establish a branch in Wrocław, tasked with activities related to Cyberpunk 2077.
The acquisition of SNT was carried out by way of the purchase of an enterprise from Strange New Things sp. z o.o. sp. k. On 8 May 2018 the General Meeting of Shareholders of CD PROJEKT S.A. adopted a resolution authorizing the Company to finance this purchase in part with 21 105 shares of CD PROJEKT S.A. stock which will have previously been bought back on the open market. These shares would be turned over to existing shareholders of Strange New Things sp. z o.o. sp. k. and subjected to temporary lock-up, facilitating a long-term bond between resources committed to the project and the outcomes of the studio's activities.
Due to the to-date scale of activities of SNT and the value of the acquisition this event does not constitute a significant transaction in the sense of the reporting regulations applicable to the Company.
Supplementary information
Legal proceedings
The following legal proceedings took place during the reporting period (the presented status is valid for the publication date of this statement):
Litigation in which CD PROJEKT S.A. is the plaintiff or claimant
CD PROJEKT S.A. (formerly Optimus S.A.) vs. State Treasury
On 15 February 2006 the Management Board of Optimus S.A. filed a complaint in the District Court for the City of Kraków, 1st Civil Department seeking monetary damages from the State Treasury in the amount of 35 650.6 thousand PLN in relation to decisions issued by the Inspector of Treasury Control concerning VAT liabilities allegedly incurred by the Company's legal predecessor. On 24 November 2003 the Supreme Administrative Court in Warsaw vacated these decisions as unlawful.
On 9 December 2008 the District Court for the City of Kraków issued an interlocutory judgment holding the Optimus claim valid in rem. This judgment concerned the validity of the Company's claim for monetary damages. On 19 May 2009 this judgment was vacated by the Appellate Court for the City of Kraków, 1st Civil Department, which remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings.
On 1 August 2014 the District Court for the City of Kraków issued a final judgment closing the proceedings in the court of first instance. The District Court's judgment awarded the Company 1 090.5 thousand PLN plus statutory interest for the period between 15 November 2005 and the remittance date, dismissing the lawsuit on all other counts.
On 9 October 2014 the Company filed an appeal against the District Court's judgment with regard to those sections in which the District Court dismissed the Company's claims, and also the section concerning the cost of legal proceedings associated with the case. A parallel appeal against the section in which the District Court affirms the Company's claims was filed by the State Treasury.
The case is currently pending before the Appellate Court in Kraków, which, having heard statements by both Parties and by the court expert whose opinion constituted the grounds for the judgment of the court of first instance, decided to appoint another expert to prepare a second opinion. This new opinion was prepared on 19 March 2018 and delivered to the relevant court.
No significant court proceedings, arbitration proceedings or administrative proceedings involving the Company or its subsidiaries were initiated during the reporting period. Additionally, no significant changed occurred with regard to other proceedings disclosed in the Company's annual financial statement for 2017.
