Accounting rules

Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is a company under the control of another company. The definition of control in IFRS 10 states that an investor controls a company in which it has invested if and only if the investor has all of the following elements:
1) power over the investee,
2) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee,
3) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control over them is obtained by the Group. They are deconsolidated on the date control ceases.

As regards acquisitions of companies that are not under joint control, the cost of the acquisition is determined as the fair value of acquired assets, issued equity instruments and liabilities incurred or assumed as at the exchange date. Identifiable acquired assets and liabilities and conditional liabilities from a merger are initially measured at fair value as of the acquisition date, regardless of the size of non-controlling interests. The Group measures non-controlling interests proportionately to its share of the fair value of acquired net assets. In subsequent periods, the value of non-controlling interests covers the initially recognised value adjusted by changes in the subsidiary's equity in proportion to the stake held. Comprehensive income is allocated to non-controlling interests even if this creates a negative value for these interests. Goodwill is determined in accordance with the accounting policy (note 15).In the case of a negative value, the Group reviews the fair values of each component of acquired net assets. If as a result of such a review the value continues to be negative, it is immediately recognised in the present period profit or loss. Transactions, settlements and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also subject to elimination unless the transaction provides evidence for impairment of the given asset. The accounting rules applied by subsidiaries were adjusted wherever necessary to ensure compliance with the Group's accounting rules.

Associates and jointly controlled entities

Associates are all entities in respect of which the Group exerts significant influence but does not have control, which typically means holding 20-50% of voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and initially recognised at cost. The excess of purchase price over fair value of an associate's identifiable net assets as at the acquisition date is recognised as goodwill. Goodwill is included in the investment's balance sheet value, while goodwill impairment is measured for the entire value of the investment. Any excess of the Group's stake in the fair value of identifiable net assets, liabilities and conditional liabilities over the acquisition cost after revaluation is immediately recognised in current-period profit or loss. Jointly controlled entities are all entities in respect of which the Group exercises, through contractual arrangements, control jointly with other entities. Investments in jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method identically as investments in associates. The Group's share of the financial results of associates and/or jointly controlled entities from the acquisition date is recognised in current-period profit or loss, while its share in changes in other comprehensive income generated from the acquisition date - in other comprehensive income. The balance sheet value of an investment is adjusted by total changes in equity from the acquisition date. If the Group's share of the losses of an associate or a jointly controlled entity is equal to or greater than the Group's stake in this associate or jointly controlled entity, including any potential unsecured receivables, the Group ceases to recognise further losses, unless it assumed the given associate's or jointly controlled entity's obligations or made a payment on its behalf. The Group analyses impairment of investments in associates and jointly controlled entities, and impairment losses are recognised in the financial result of the present year. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates or jointly controlled entities are eliminated proportionately to the Group's stake in associates or jointly controlled entities. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment for the given asset. The accounting rules applied by associates or jointly controlled entities are adjusted as necessary to ensure consistency with the Group's accounting rules.

Mergers and acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions of entities that are not under joint control are accounted for using the equity method.

The presented tables and explanations are prepared with due diligence. The accounting rules are applied consistently across all of the presented periods, except as indicated in note 6 on the change in the presentation of comparative figures.

Changes in applied accounting rules

The accounting rules (policy) applied in preparing these separate financial statements are consistent with those applied in preparing the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, except for the application of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations as described below:

  • IFRS 3 Business Combinations - updating a reference to the Conceptual Framework, without any major change to its requirements;
  • IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment - the amendments prohibit the deduction from the cost of property, plant and equipment of amounts received from the sale of items produced in preparation of the asset for use. Instead, revenue from sales and related expenses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income;
  • IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets - the changes introduced specify which costs should be taken into account when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making - whether the contract is an onerous contract;

  • Annual Improvements Cycle 2018-2020 - the improvements contain explanations and clarify guidelines for the standards concerning recognition and measurement: IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the illustrative examples to IFRS 16 Leases.

The Group has not identified any impact on the financial statements from implementing the aforementioned amendments to Standards and Interpretations, with the exception of the amendments made to IAS 16 as described below.

Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment

On 1 January 2022, the Group applied for the first time the amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, to prohibit the adjustment of the cost of property, plant and equipment by amounts received from the sale of items produced while the property, plant and equipment is being prepared to commence operation in accordance with management's intentions. Instead, the entity is required to recognise the aforementioned revenue sales and related costs directly in the statement of profit and loss. This change is crucial in relation to the inclusion in the cost of workings of the value of the coal obtained during their excavation. Given the above, from 1 January 2022, revenue from the sale of coal obtained during the excavation of workings does not reduce the initial value of the workings; however, it is necessary to adjust the costs incurred for the excavation of workings by that part of the costs that relates to the production of coal obtained during the excavation.The amendment has been applied retrospectively to property, plant and equipment (workings) that were adjusted to the location and conditions necessary to enable them to operate in the manner intended by management on or after the start date of the earliest period presented in these consolidated financial statements (i.e. as at 1 January 2021). As of 1 January 2022, the total net effect of the first-time application of this amendment amounted to PLN 23 892 thousand and was recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings and non-controlling interests. The total impact as of 1 January 2021 reached PLN 5 195 thousand, which is seen in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The amendment resulted in an increase in the net value of property, plant and equipment by PLN 29 496 thousand as at 31 December 2021, as well as an increase in the value of deferred tax liabilities by PLN 5 604 thousand. At the same time, in order to maintain comparability of comparative data, data for 2021 was restated. The total impact of the adjustment on the result of the period ended 31 December 2021 was PLN 18 697 thousand.

Change in presentation of items in statement of comprehensive income

In these annual consolidated financial statements, the Group changed the presentation in the statement of comprehensive income of the valuation and realisation of foreign exchange forward transactions that are not used in hedge accounting. The results from the measurement and execution of these transactions, hitherto presented as operating income or expenses, are presented outside of operations. In the Management Board's view, it is reasonable to present non-hedging foreign exchange forward contracts outside of operations due to the fact that they are treated as derivatives economically hedging exchange rate risk and are entered into to hedge currency supply in foreign exchange trading. In the Group's view, the change in the presentation of gains/losses on the valuation and realisation of foreign exchange forwards ensures that income/expenses of a similar nature are presented consistently and, consequently, the information contained in the financial statements is more useful. Due to the materiality of the amounts related to the valuation and realisation of foreign currency instruments, the Group presents them in the statement of comprehensive income under a separate heading "Gains/(losses) on foreign currency derivatives not used in hedge accounting". In order to maintain data comparability, the Group also applied the above presentation change to 2021 by restating the comparative figures. This change has no impact on profit before tax, net profit or equity. The impact on EBITDA in 2022 was PLN (347 053) thousand (PLN 116 988 thousand in 2021). This change of EBITDA has a minor effect on the calculation of the net debt to EBITDA ratio - a key financial covenant. Both after and before taking this change into account, the ratio was at a level that does not result in a breach of the conditions set out in the financing agreements. The EBITDA calculation methodology is presented in the note "Operating segments."

The combined impact of the amendment to IAS 16 and the change in presentation in the statement of comprehensive income on the consolidated financial statements for 2021 is shown in the tables below.

7. Functional currency and transactions in foreign currencies

Accounting rules

Functional currency and presentation currency

Items in the financial statements of individual Group entities are measured in the main currency of the economic setting in which the entity operates (in the functional currency). Consolidated financial statements are presented in PLN, which is the functional and presentation currency for all of the Group's entities. Items in financial statements are rounded to full thousands of zlotys (PLN 000s), unless otherwise stated.

Transactions and balances

Transactions expressed in foreign currencies are translated at initial recognition into the functional currency at the exchange rate valid on the transaction date. At the balance sheet date, foreign currency cash items are translated using the closing exchange rate (closing rate is the average exchange rate published by the National Bank of Poland for the measurement day). Gains and losses on exchange differences arising from settlement of transactions in foreign currencies and balance sheet measurement of foreign currency cash assets and liabilities are recognised in the gain or loss for the period, while gains and losses on exchange differences concerning tangible assets under construction are recognised as expenditures on tangible assets under construction.

Operating segments

The Group presents segment information in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments . Operating segments correspond to the reporting segments and are not aggregated. The Group's activities are managed in operating segments that are distinct in terms of products and services. ENEA Group reports four operating segments and other activity, as shown below.

  • TRADE Purchase and sale of electricity.
  • DISTRIBUTION Electricity distribution and transmission services.
  • GENERATION Generation of electricity from conventional and renewable sources, generation of industrial heat.
  • MINING Production and sale of coal, companies providing support services to mines.
  • AND OTHER ACTIVITY Maintenance and modernisation of road lighting equipment, transport services, repair and construction services.

Segment revenue is revenue generated from sales to external customers and transactions with other segments that can be directly attributed to the given segment. In 2022, within the mining segment, external customers whose shares in the Group's external sales exceeded 10% included: Grupa Azoty Zakłady Azotowe „Puławy”(19.0%) and Energa Elektrownie Ostrołęka S.A. (11.0%).# Segment costs

Segment costs include the cost of sales to external customers and costs of transactions with other segments within the Group that result from the operating activities of a given segment and can be directly attributed to the given segment. Market prices are applied to inter-segment transactions, which makes it possible for units to generate margins sufficient to independently operate on the market. In analysing segment results, the Parent's Management Board especially focuses on EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as operating profit (calculated as profit before tax adjusted for the share of results of associates and jointly controlled entities, impairment losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost, impairment losses on investments in jointly controlled entities, (losses)/gains on currency derivatives not used in hedge accounting, financial income, dividend income and finance costs) plus depreciation and amortisation and impairment losses on non-financial fixed assets. Rules for determining segment results and segment assets and liabilities are in compliance with the accounting rules used in preparing consolidated financial statements. Following the amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and the presentation change in the statement of comprehensive income presented in note 6 to these consolidated financial statements, the Group has restated the segment presentation for the comparative period.

Information on geographic segments

The Group's activities in 2022 and 2021 were in one geographic segment, i.e. in Poland, and all of its assets were located in Poland.

26 Impairment of non-financial assets

Accounting rules

The Group's assets that are subject to depreciation are analysed in terms of impairment whenever indications of impairment are identified, and annually for goodwill.# Accounting Policies (Continued)

Impairment of Assets

An impairment loss is recognised in the amount by which the asset's balance sheet value exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable value is determined as the higher of the following two amounts: fair value less cost to sell or usable value (i.e. estimated present value of future cash flows that are expected to be obtained from further use of the asset or cash generating unit). For impairment analysis purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest level where it is possible to identify separate cash flows (cash generating units). Cash generating units are never larger than operating segments. All impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses may be reversed in subsequent periods (except for goodwill) if events occur that justify a lack of or change in impairment.

Significant Judgements and Estimates

Recoverable value of tangible and intangible assets

Cash generating units are tested for impairment using a variety of assumptions, some of which are beyond the Group's control. Significant changes in these estimates have an impact on impairment test results and, in consequence, on the Group's financial position and financial results, described further below.

As at 30 September 2022, in connection with information and analyses concerning changes in the market prices of CO 2 emission allowances, electricity, energy origin certificates and forecasts for macroeconomic indicators, ENEA Group carried out impairment tests for property, plant and equipment in areas involved in the generation of electricity and heat, among others. Based on these tests, the necessity to recognise the following events was identified. Based on this analysis, impairment losses worth a total of PLN 47 462 thousand were recognised on non-financial non-current assets in the Białystok area at ENEA Ciepło. The impairment loss reduced the Group's net result by PLN 38 444 thousand. The analysis showed excess useful value at ENEA Wytwarzanie. The Group decided not to reverse impairment losses on non-financial non-current assets that had been recognised in previous years.

Presented below are the results of these impairment tests:

CGU Recoverable value Book value
CGU Elektrownie Systemowe Kozienice – ENEA Wytwarzanie's generating assets at Świerże Górne 3 766 200 3 651 090
CGU Elektrownie Systemowe Połaniec – ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec generating assets (coal-based sources) 1 415 260 1 181 001
CGU Zielony Blok – ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec generating assets (biomass unit) 1 585 673 181 577
CGU Białystok – ENEA Ciepło's generating assets 685 393 732 855
CGU Piła – the generating assets of Miejska Energetyka Cieplna in Piła 250 331 119 595
CGU Oborniki – the generating assets of Przedsiębiorstwo Energetyki Cieplnej in Oborniki 12 908 11 532

The recoverable value of each CGU was estimated on the basis of useful value using the discounted cash flows approach based on financial projections. The following forecast periods were used for testing the CGUs:

  • CGU Elektrownie Systemowe Kozienice – until 2047,
  • CGU Elektrownie Systemowe Połaniec – until 2034,
  • CGU Zielony Blok – until 2042,
  • CGU Białystok – until 2045,
  • CGU Piła – until 2045,
  • CGU Oborniki – until 2045

Presented below are the key assumptions used in impairment tests:

  • assets were tested in six CGUs (tj. CGU Elektrownie Systemowe Kozienice, CGU Elektrownie Systemowe Połaniec, CGU Zielony Blok, CGU Białystok, CGU Piła and CGU Oborniki),
  • the main price paths, based on forecasts prepared by ENEA Trading (a company operating as ENEA Group's competence centre for wholesale trade of electricity, emission allowances and fuels), taking into account the specific nature of products and knowledge about existing contracts:
  • wholesale "base" prices for electricity: for 2023-2047: prices are expected to decline from 821.25 PLN/MWh in 2023 to 592.19 PLN/MWh in 2031, followed by a gradual decline at an average of 0.5% in the period 2032-2047 [fixed prices 2022],
  • CO 2 emission allowances: the forecast expects an increase in the prices of CO 2 allowances by an average of 4.6%, from 72.5 EUR/t in 2023 to 2027. Between 2028 and 2036, prices are expected to grow further, by approx. 1.5%. From 2037, further growth at approx. 1% [fixed prices 2022],
    • coal: the prices of coal are expected to decline by an average of 9.2%, from 41.88 PLN/GJ in 2023 to 2031. A gradual decline of 0.3% is expected from 2032 [fixed prices 2022],
  • biomass: decline in the average price of biomass is expected at the Group, from 95 PLN/GJ in 2023 to 45.55 PLN/GJ in 2031. A 0.7% increase is forecast from 2032 to 2045, followed by 0.7% [fixed prices 2022],
  • heat prices: three CGUs (Białystok, Piła and Oborniki) expect an average price growth to reach approx. 12% is forecast until 2025, from the average price level of 111.61 PLN/GJ in 2023. In the following years, prices are expected to fall by an average of 2.3% until 2031. From 2032 there is an average price increase of 1.6% [fixed prices 2022],
  • natural gas: prices are expected to sharply decline from 2023, from 870 PLN/MWh, by approx. 27% to 2027, followed by further annual average decrease by 2.7% until 2040. The price is expected to stabilise from 2041 on at 174.39 PLN/MWh until 2045 [fixed prices 2022],
  • quantity of CO 2 emission allowances received for free for 2021-2025 in accordance with a derogation application (pursuant to art. 10c sec. 5 Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council),
  • revenue related to maintaining generation capacities from 2021 pursuant to the Act on the Capacity Market, based on previously won auctions,
  • inflation, taking into account the inflation target, at a maximum level of 2.5%,
  • nominal discount rate - 9.83% [discount rate before tax is 11.20%].

The Group used a risk premium for the following CGUs:

  1. CGU Zielony Blok - 0.5%. Discount rate taking into account company-specific risk premium was 10.03% [discount rate taking into account company-specific risk premium before tax is 11.40%],
  2. CGU Elektrownie Systemowe Kozienice and Elektrownie Systemowe Połaniec - 2%. Discount rate taking into account company-specific risk premium was 10.63% [discount rate taking into account company-specific risk premium before tax is 12.00%],
  3. CGUs Białystok, Piła and Oborniki - 1%. Discount rate taking into account company-specific risk premium was 10.23% [discount rate taking into account company-specific risk premium before tax is 11.60%],
  4. growth rate in residual period - 0%.

The sensitivity analysis shows that significant factors having impact on the estimated recoverable values of CGUs include: discount rates, inflation, electricity prices and CO 2 emission allowance prices, and hard coal prices. Future financial results and thus the recoverable amounts of CGUs will also be driven by the prices of energy origin certificates, heat and biomass prices.

The following table shows the value impact of selected factors on the total recoverable value (output value) of CGUs:

The Group carried out a periodic assessment of indications of possible impairment of non-current assets in the Mining segment (LWB), in line with guidelines specified in# IAS 36 Impairment of Assets

This analysis is all the more important in a situation where businesses have to operate in variable, entirely unusual and previously unseen conditions. In making this assessment for the purposes of the consolidated financial statements for 2022 the Group, based on an analysis of the present economic and market situation, notes that the current market capitalisation of LWB remains at a level that is lower than the balance sheet value of net assets. According to the Group, this situation mainly results from factors that are beyond its control such as political factors and the EU's climate policy, reduced trust in mining-sector companies and also in part because of low liquidity and low free float. Moreover, it should be noted that LWB's share price went up rather considerably, by more than 50%, in 2022. The war in Ukraine and a reduced of commodity supply globally are driving up demand for LWB's coal. This is why the Group is also acting to capitalise on the period of increased demand for coal. Despite this, the existing assumptions are still formally in place, which is why the Group was required to carry out impairment tests in the Mining segment also for 2022. An increase in market interest rates (growth in the discount factor) was also observed. Due to the inability to determine fair values for a very large group of assets for which there is no active market and no

comparable transactions, the recoverable values of these assets were determined by estimating their useful values using the discounted cash flow approach based on the Group's financial projections for 2023-2051. Presented in the table below are the results of this impairment test:

CGU [PLN 000s] - as at 30 September 2022 Recoverable value Book value
CGU Mining 8,488,449 2,838,920

The key assumptions used in estimating the value in use of the tested assets are presented below:
* given the links between the various divisions and the mine's organisational scheme, all of LWB's assets were considered as one CGU;
* average annual volume of coal production and sale in 2023-2030 was set at 9.0mt;
* forecast period from 2023 to 2051 - was estimated on the basis of the company's extractable coal resources as of the balance sheet date (available to be mined using the existing infrastructure as of the balance sheet date, mainly concerning shafts). From 2044, the average annual level of extraction declines as a result of the depletion of the Bogdanka deposit and the assumption that only infrastructure that is currently available is to be used;
* coal prices in 2023 based on contracts that had been signed as of the date of the analysis; in 2024-2029 it was adopted based on studies carried out for LWB and ENEA Group purposes;
* the entire model is inflation-free (based on real prices);
* real wage growth was assumed for the entire forecast period at a level that reflects the Group's best possible estimate as at the test date;
* the discount rate was the real weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 10.55% throughout the entire forecast period, estimated based on the latest economic data (using a risk-free rate of 6.24% and a beta of 1.39);
* an average annual level of investment expenditures in the entire forecast period of PLN 476,023 thousand, including on average PLN 612,847 thousand in 2023-2035;
* the model used for the impairment test (including the resulting cash flows and value of assets under test) was prepared as at 30 September 2022, following a consistent approach at all levels of consolidation within LWB Group and ENEA Group.

LWB's management board analysed the last quarter of 2022 in terms of events that could indicate impairment and in terms of material one-off events that would need to be included in the model and could have a material impact on the test results. No one-off events and new indications were identified. The sensitivity analysis shows that significant factors having impact on the estimated recoverable values of CGUs include: discount rate, prices of thermal coal and sales volume. Results of the analysis of the model’s sensitivity (change in recoverable value) on changes in key assumptions are presented below.

Explanatory notes to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income

8. Revenue from sales

Accounting rules

Revenue recognition

The Group recognises revenue when an obligation to provide a consideration by providing a promised good or service (i.e. asset) to the customer is performed (or is being performed), thus obtaining the right to remuneration and legal title to the asset. The asset is transferred when the customer obtains control over it. The transfer of control may be gradual if the obligation to provide a consideration is satisfied or over time, i.e. when:
* the customer simultaneously receives and consumes all of the benefits provided by the Group as the Group performs,
* the Group's performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced (production in progress, for example), or
* the Group's performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

The performance-based method and overlay approach are used to determine the level of completion, taking into account the nature of the good or service being transferred.

In the item revenue from core activities, the Group recognises revenue from the sale of the following product and service groups:
* services provided on a continuous basis - the amount of revenue depends on consumption (supply of electricity, thermal energy, natural gas, provision of distribution services): revenue is recognised when the Group transfers control over a portion of the service being provided; the Group recognises revenue in the amount of remuneration from a client, to which it is entitled, which directly corresponds to the value of service so far provided to the client - this value is the amount that the Group is authorised to invoice for; the category of services provided on a continuous basis also includes revenue from the Capacity Market;
* delivery of goods/services settled at a fixed moment in time (sale of property rights): revenue is recognised when control over the product/service is transferred; the transfer of control takes place when the goods are made available to the client or when service is provided;
* services provided on a continuous basis - the amount of revenue depends on the passage of time (sale of lighting services, process support services): revenue from the sale of services is recognised over time because these services are provided on a continuous basis and therefore a certain portion of such service is subject to transfer at every point in time when service is provided; due to the fact that the value of services rendered to the client does not differ between specific settlement periods, the Group recognises revenue from services provided on the basis of fixed monthly payments (depending on consumption);
* services provided on a continuous basis - based on the status of work (construction services): commitment to provide a service is satisfied over time because as a result of service being provided an asset is created or improved and control over this asset is with the client; revenue from the provision of service is recognised over time - using the overlay approach - cost approach, based on which the level of contract progress is determined by comparing the amount of costs incurred to perform the contract to the overall costs budgeted in the contract.

Revenue from sales is recognised in the net amount of remuneration when the Group acts as agent, i.e. its performance perform is subject to the delivery of goods or services by another entity. Such revenue is recognised in the form of fee or commission to which - according to the Group's expectations - the Group will be entitled in exchange for the provision of goods or services by another entity. The fee or commission due for the Group may be a net amount that the Group retains after payment to another entity of consideration in exchange for goods or services provided by this entity. The Group recognises as revenue the Price difference amount and the Financial compensations from the Zarządca Rozliczeń S.A.; this revenue does not constitute public aid.

Costs related to the conclusion of agreements

Costs related to the conclusion of agreements are costs incurred by the Group in order to conclude an agreement with a customer that would not have been incurred by the Group had the agreement not been concluded (including the costs of commissions for partners for concluding electricity sale agreements). Costs that would have been incurred regardless of agreement conclusion are recognised in results for the period in which they are incurred.# Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)

  • the presentation restatement of data for the comparative period is presented in note 6 to these consolidated financial statements.

Revenues from connection fees are presented in the above table under the item "revenues from sale of distribution services" and amounted to PLN 90 883 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (PLN 90 823 thousand as at 31 December 2021).

Revenues from the sale of products and services primarily comprise revenues relating to the maintenance and upgrading of road lighting equipment.

The Group mainly classifies revenue by type of product/service. The main revenue groups are revenues from the sale of electricity (Trading and Generation segments), revenues from the sale of distribution services (Distribution segment), revenues from the Power Market (Generation segment), revenues from the sale of coal (Mining segment), revenues from the sale of thermal energy (Generation segment) and revenues from the sale of gas (Trade segment).

Sale of electricity:

The Group recognises revenue at the end of each billing period that arises from sales contracts, according to the amount of electricity delivered to the customer during the billing period. The Group recognises revenue over a period of time and uses the simplification of revenue recognition under invoicing as it reflects the degree of performance obligation at the reporting date. The key groups of contracts include electricity sale contracts (including framework contracts) for retail, business, key and strategic customers. Under these contracts, service is provided in a continuous manner and the level of revenue depends on usage. Sales to the clearing-house Izba Rozliczeniowa Giełd Towarowych S.A. and the TGE power exchange also take place. The standard payment deadline for invoices for the sale of electricity at ENEA S.A. is 14 days from VAT invoice date. In the case of business, key and strategic customers, payment deadlines may be negotiated. Payment deadlines for invoices concerning electricity sales to IRGiT are 1-3 days from delivery and invoice issue. For sales to TGE, payment deadlines are governed by TGE's regulations.

Sale of distribution services :

In the case of distribution services sales, ENEA Operator charges a fee that contains separate components: grid fee (variable component), quality fee, grid fee (fixed component), instalment fee, transition fee, capacity fee and renewables fee. In the case of the quality fee, transition fee, capacity fee and renewables fee, ENEA Operator serves, as a rule, as entity collecting fees and providing this consideration to other market participants, e.g. to Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne S.A. (PSE). These fees (quality fee, transition fee, capacity fee, renewables fee) constitute quasi-taxes collected on behalf of other entities. ENEA Operator acts as agent collecting fees for other energy market participants, including PSE. In consequence, revenue from the sale of distribution services is reduced by the amount of renewables fee, quality fee, capacity fee and transition fee collected. Costs related to the procurement of transmission services and costs related to invoices for renewables support and support for producers are subject to adjustment. The total amount of fees carried forward was as at 31 December 2022 PLN 1 060 476 thousand (as at 31 December 2021: PLN 1 002 484 thousand). The volume of revenue from the sale of electricity distribution services is based on documented sales, plus the re-estimation of uninvoiced sales of electricity distribution services in the period and minus the re-estimation of those sales from the previous period. Estimation of sales is made at the end of each month. Revenue for distribution services is recognised at the time the service is provided, based on the readings of the metering and billing systems, taking into account the re- estimation of consumption.

Revenue from the Capacity Market constitutes revenue from the performance of capacity contracts (obligations) executed as a result of the 2021 Auction. The Capacity Market is a market mechanism intended to ensure a stable supply of electricity to households and industry over the long term. At the end of each month, ENEA Group companies are entitled to remuneration from PSE S.A. for fulfilling a capacity obligation. In connection with this obligation, Group companies that are suppliers of capacity for PSE S.A. recognise revenue from Capacity Market transactions each month.

Presented below is revenue from sales, divided into categories that reflect how economic factors influence the amount,

Compensations

According to the provisions of the act of 27 October 2022 on emergency measures to limit the level of electricity prices and support certain consumers in 2023 ENEA S.A. has applied to Zarządca Rozliczeń S.A. for compensation for the application of the maximum price for the month of December 2022 for the amount of PLN 27 993 thousand. The Financial compensations constitute the Company's revenue and are recognised under the line Compensations. In accordance with art. 9 of the aforementioned act, ENEA S.A. filed applications for advance payments for December 2022 and January 2023. The advance payments were made in December 2022 for PLN 230 192 thousand (presented as of 31 December 2022 as trade and other payables in note 31) and in January 2023 for PLN 307 846 thousand.

9. Operating costs

Accounting rules

The Group presents costs using the comparative approach (costs by nature). Costs have an impact on financial result to the extent that they apply to a given reporting period, thus ensuring that they are commensurate to revenue or other economic benefits.

12. Tax

Accounting rules

Income tax (including deferred income tax)
Income tax recognised in profit or loss for the period covers actual the actual tax burden for the given reporting period, calculated in accordance with the applicable provisions of the act on corporate income tax and potential adjustments of tax returns for previous years.
Deferred tax is the tax effect of events in a given period recognised using the accrual principle in accounting books for the period but is performed in the future. It arises when the tax effect of revenue and costs is the same as the balance sheet effect but takes place in different periods.
Deferred income tax arises in respect of all temporary differences, except for cases where deferred income tax results from:
a) initial recognition of goodwill; or
b) initial recognition of an asset or liability from a transaction that:
− is not a merger of economic entities; and
− has no impact at the transaction date on gross financial result or taxable income (tax loss);
c) investment in subsidiaries, branches, associates and interests in joint ventures.
In reference to all negative temporary differences, a deferred income tax asset is recognised up to an amount of likely taxable income to be generated that will offset the negative temporary differences.
The amount of deferred tax is set using income tax rates in effect for the year in which the tax obligation arises.

Significant judgements and estimates

Recoverability of deferred income tax assets

Deferred income tax assets are measured using tax rates in effect when the asset is performed. The Group recognises a deferred income tax asset with the assumption that it will generate a tax profit in the future to use it. The likelihood of using deferred income tax assets against future tax profits is based on the budgets of Group companies.

13. Profit/(loss) per share

Accounting rules

Net profit (loss) per share for each period is calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) attributable to the Parent's shareholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares in that reporting period. Diluted profit per share is calculated by dividing the period's net profit attributable to common shareholders (after deduction of interest on redeemable preference shares convertible into ordinary shares) by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares during the period (adjusted by the impact of dilutive options and dilutive redeemable preference shares convertible into ordinary shares).

Explanatory notes to the consolidated statement of financial position

14. Property, plant and equipment

Accounting rules

Property, plant and equipment items are measured at purchase price or cost to manufacture, less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Subsequent expenditures are included in the book value of a given tangible asset or are recognised as a separate asset (wherever appropriate) only if it is likely that this item will bring economic benefits to the Group and the item's cost can be reliably measured. All other expenses on repairs and maintenance are recognised as profit or loss in the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Mine closure costs initially recognised in the value of tangible assets are subject to depreciation using the same method as the tangible assets they concern, starting from the moment a given tangible asset is put into service, over a period specified in the mine closure plan within the expected mine closure schedule. Land is not subject to depreciation. Other tangible assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis throughout the period of use or using the natural method based on the longwall length (in the case of operational excavations). The base for calculating depreciation constitutes the initial value less final value, if significant. Each significant part of a property, plant and equipment item with a different period of use is depreciated separately.

Depreciation begins when an asset is available for use. Depreciation ends when an asset is designated as available for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 or when it is removed from the statement of financial position, depending on which occurs earlier.

Within its activities, the Group receives tangible assets for free, which are initially measured at fair value. Property, plant and equipment received for free, in the form of power infrastructure (connections, lighting grid) is recognised by the Group on a one-off basis in other operating revenue when it is received (except for the receipt of lighting infrastructure in exchange for services - in which case they are accounted for over time).

External financing costs

Costs of external financing that can be directly attributed to an asset purchase, build or manufacture are capitalised as part of the purchase price or cost to manufacture such an asset. Other external financing costs are recognised as a cost in the period in which they are incurred. The capitalisation of external financing costs begins at the later of the two dates: commencement of investment or commencement of financing. The Group ceases to capitalise external financing costs when the asset is handed over for use. The Group suspends capitalising external financing costs over a longer time period in which it suspended works focused on adapting the asset.

Significant judgements and estimates

Economic life and residual value

The amount of depreciation charges is determined on the basis of expected period of use for tangible assets. The verification conducted this year resulted in changes to depreciation/amortisation periods. Their impact in 2023 on the amount of depreciation will be PLN 8 380 thousand. The residual values and economic life of property, plant and equipment are verified at least once a year. Each change of depreciation period requires agreement and necessitates an adjustment to the depreciation charges in subsequent financial years. At each balance sheet date ending a financial year, impairment assessments are carried out in compliance with IAS 36. If indications of impairment are identified, an impairment test is carried out in accordance with IAS 36 (section in these financial statements concerning impairment of non-financial assets).

Use periods for property, plant and equipment are as follows:
− buildings and structures 10 – 80 years including power grids 33 years
− structures (operational excavations) natural method depreciation based on length of wall
− technical equipment and machinery 2 – 50 years

Estimating the useful life of mines and coal resources

The end of the lifecycle of the mine (LWB) is currently estimated to be 2051, and this did not change from the previous annual financial statements, for 2021. The actual deadline for mine closure might be different from the Group's estimates. This results from the calculation being based on the mine's estimated life-cycle and only the coal resources being available as at the reporting date. A decline in demand for the Group's coal might result in production falling below production capacities, which would extend the mine life-cycle.

The Group is taking account of the on-going restructuring of the mining sector, as previously announced in Poland's Energy Strategy 2040 (“PEP 2040”), as well as the shut-down of hard coal mining in Poland by 2049, as specified in the "Social agreement regarding the transformation of the hard coal mining sector and selected transition processes for the Silesia voivodship." However, given the material change in the geopolitical and economic situation that occurred in 2022, PEP 2040 is currently being updated. Currently, aside from the necessity to align with the general framework of hard coal mining, which assumes that extraction will cease by 2049, the Group remains under the direct influence of the aforementioned regulations (especially in terms of its financial results and operational effectiveness). At the same time, the Group is undertaking activities intended to diversify its business.Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)

15 Intangible assets and goodwill

Accounting rules

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on acquisition results from an excess, on the acquisition date, of the sum of payments, non-controlling interests and the fair value of previously held interests in the acquired entities over the net fair value of identifiable assets, liabilities and conditional liabilities of the acquired entity as at the acquisition date. In the case of a negative value, the Group reviews the fair values of each component of acquired net assets. If as a result of such a review the value continues to be negative, it is immediately recognised in the present period profit or loss. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less impairment. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated to the Group's specific cash generating units that should receive the synergy benefits from the merger. The cash generating units to which goodwill is allocated are tested for impairment once a year or more frequently, if it can be reliably expected that impairment has occurred. If the recoverable value of a cash generating unit is smaller than its balance sheet value, an impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the balance sheet value of the goodwill allocated to this cash generating unit and subsequently to this unit's other assets proportionately to the balance sheet value of specific assets in this unit. An impairment loss on goodwill is irreversible.

Geological information

Purchased geological information is recognised in accordance with IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources , in an amount resulting from the agreement executed with the Ministry of the Environment. Until a mining concession is secured, this is not subject to amortisation. Subsequently, capitalised costs are amortised throughout the term of the concession.

Fees

Fees for mining usufruct for hard coal mining areas within the "Bogdanka" deposit are capitalised in the amount of such fees. Capitalised costs are recognised throughout the expected period of mining usufruct (note 41).

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include: computer software, licences and other intangible assets. Intangible assets are measured at purchase price or cost to manufacture, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis, using the following estimated period of use.

Costs of R&D work

The costs of research works are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. The costs of development works that meet their capitalisation criteria are measured at purchase price or cost to manufacture, less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis, using the follow ing estimated period of use.

Significant judgements and estimates

Economic life and residual value

The amount of amortisation changes is determined on the basis of expected period of use for intangible assets. The verification conducted this year resulted in changes to depreciation/amortisation periods. Their impact in 2023 on the amount of depreciation will be PLN (267 thousand). Each year, the Group verifies the correctness of periods of use for intangible assets. Each change of depreciation period requires agreement and necessitates an adjustment to the depreciation charges in subsequent financial years. At each balance sheet date ending a financial year, impairment assessments are carried out in compliance with IAS 36. If indications of impairment are identified, an impairment test is carried out in accordance with IAS 36 (section in these financial statements concerning impairment of non-financial assets).# Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)

Future contract liabilities related to the purchase of intangible assets incurred as at the reporting date but not yet recognised in the statement of financial position reached PLN 76 517 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (PLN 56 002 thousand as at 31 December 2021).

16. Right-of-use assets

Accounting rules

A contract contains a lease if:
a) it concerns an identified asset that is explicitly specified in the contract (e.g. using an inventory number or indication of a specific floor of a building) or indirectly specified when it is made available to the customer; and
b) the lessee receives essential all of the economic benefits from such assets during the period of use, i.e. both basic benefits and the benefits derived from it; and
c) the lessee has the right to specify the method in which it uses the identified asset.

As lessee, the Group recognises Leases in its financial statements as:
a) right-of-use assets at purchase price;
− covering the value of the lease liability plus payments made on or before the contract date, initial direct costs, an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories,
− less any lease incentives received.
b) lease liabilities constituting the sum of the present value of lease payments and the present value of payments expected at the end of the lease term.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group measures the right-of-use assets at purchase price less depreciation and impairment. The depreciation period is set as:
a) if the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee or if the lessee is certain that it will exercise a purchase option, the depreciation period is from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset, or
b) the depreciation period starts from the commencement date to the earlier of:
− the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset, or
− the end of the lease term.

The present value of future lease payments is calculated using a discount rate. ENEA S.A., ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o., ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o., Enea Elektrownia Połaniec S.A. and Lubelski Węgiel „Bogdanka” S.A. apply a residual interest rate, i.e. a rate that ENEA S.A. would be required to pay based on a similar lease or, if not possible to determine, an interest rate at the commencement date that ENEA S.A. would have to use to make a loan necessary to purchase the given asset for a similar period and with similar collateral. ENEA S.A. uses an interest rate equal to 6-month WIBOR from the last day of the year preceding the financial year, plus margin. The other companies use an interest rate equal to 1-month WIBOR from the last day of the year preceding the financial year, plus margin. The amount of the discount rate is reviewed and updated each year in relation to new leases entered into. In the case of sub-leases, lessees at ENEA Group use the lessor's discount rate.

The Group sets the lease term, i.e. irrevocable lease term, together with:
a) term for an option to extend the lease if the Group is sufficiently certain that it will exercise this right; and
b) term for an option to terminate the lease if the Group is sufficiently certain that it will not exercise that right.

In most of its leases, the Group uses a lease period in accordance with the contractual period. For contracts executed for an indefinite period, the Group determines the minimum contractual term for both of the parties. If the Group is unable to determine how long it intends to use the asset and such an estimate could be treated as a lease term in the case of contracts with an indefinite period, the Group assumes that the irrevocable contractual period will be the termination period for that lease. In the case of rights to perpetual usufruct of land, the lease term is the same as the term for the right to perpetual usufruct.

In subsequent periods, the lease liability is measured taking into account:
a) interest charged (unwind of discount),
b) lease payments made,
c) reflection of the re-evaluation of contract, changes in the contract or changes in the nature of variable payments that are fixed in substance.

The additional information and explanations presented on pages 10 - 117 constitute an integral part of these consolidated financial statements

48

The liability in a given period will constitute the difference between the present value of lease payments and the sum of lease payments for the given period. The interest part of a lease payment is directly recognised in the statement of profit and loss.

For multi-element contracts, the Group recognises lease components separately from non-lease components. The Group allocates contractual remuneration to all components, using individual sales prices in the case of lease components and aggregated individual sales prices in the case of non-lease components.

The Group applies a practical expedient and does not apply the lease model in reference to:
a) short-term leases (contracts with a term of up to 12 months and without the right to purchase the asset),
b) the leasing of low-value assets, the initial value of which does not exceed PLN 10 thousand (even if the value of such assets is significant after aggregation) and assets that are not largely depended on or tied to other assets specified in the contract.

This exemption does not apply in situations where the Group transfers the asset under a sub-lease or expects to transfers it. If the Group decides to use this expedient, it recognises lease payments as cost on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term.

From 1 January 2019, rights to the perpetual usufruct of land are recognised as right-of-use assets and are subject to amortisation.

17. Investment properties

Accounting rules

Investment properties are maintained in order to generate income from rent, growth in value or both. The Group selected the purchase price model at initial recognition. Investments in properties are amortised on a straight-line basis. Amortisation begins in the month following the month in which the investment in property is accepted for use. Income from renting investment properties is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis throughout the contract term.

Significant judgements and estimates

The key assumptions for verifying the economic life of investment properties are described in the note on property, plant and equipment (note 14), and the basic assumptions for impairment of investment properties are described in the note in the section of the report on impairment of non-financial assets.

Implementation of project to build Elektrownia Ostrołęka C

At 31 December 2022, ENEA S.A. held 9,124,821 shares of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o., with a nominal value of PLN 50.00 each and total nominal value of PLN 456,241 thousand. Moreover, ENEA S.A. and ENERGA S.A. are in equal parts parties to two loan agreements concluded with Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. in the amount of up to PLN 340,000 thousand of 23 December 2019 and up to PLN 58,000 thousand of 17 July 2019. Impairment of loans issued to Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. as at 31 December 2022 amounted to PLN 240,341 thousand, together with interest (with PLN 198,336 thousand being covered by impairment losses).

On 29 April 2022, ENEA S.A. and ENERGA S.A. executed annexes to the aforementioned loan agreements with Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. Pursuant to these annexes, i.e. Annex 5 to the Loan Agreement up to PLN 340,000 thousand of 23 December 2019 and Annex 10 to the Loan Agreement up to PLN 58,000 thousand of 17 July 2019, Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. undertook to make a one-off loan repayment to ENEA S.A. of PLN 170 million and PLN 29 million, respectively, together with interest, by 30 December 2022.

On 23 December 2022, Annex 6 to the Loan Agreement concluded on 23 December 2019 and Annex 11 to the Loan Agreement concluded on 17 July 2019 were signed. Pursuant to Annex 6, Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. undertook to repay to ENEA S.A. part of the loan by 11 January 2023, amounting to PLN 8,383 thousand. The repayment date of the remaining loan from 23 December 2019 has been extended to the end of February 2023. At the same time, on the basis of Annex 11, Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. undertook to repay to ENEA S.A. the entire loan granted by 11 January 2023, i.e. the amount of PLN 29,000 thousand together with interest in the amount of PLN 4,622 thousand. Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. made repayments of the above receivables to ENEA S.A. within the period resulting from Annexes 6 and 11.

On 28 February 2023, ENEA S.A. and ENERGA S.A. executed with Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. Annex 7 to loan agreement of up to PLN 340,000 thousand of 23 December 2019. Pursuant to the provisions of Annex 7, the deadline for the one-off repayment by Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. of the loan along with the interest due was prolonged to 28 April 2023.

On 13 February 2020, ENEA S.A. executed an agreement with ENERGA S.A. suspending financing by ENERGA S.A. and ENEA S.A. for the project to build Elektrownia Ostrołęka C. In the agreement, ENEA S.A. and ENERGA S.A. undertook to carry out analyses, especially concerning the project's technical, technological, economic and organisational parameters and further financing. Conclusions from these analyses did not justify continuing the project in its existing form, i.e. the construction of a power plant generating electricity in a process of hard coal combustion. At the same time, technical analysis confirmed the viability of a variant in which the power plant would use gas (Gas Project) at the current location of the coal-unit being built.

The following documents were signed on 22 December 2020:
* agreement between ENEA S.A., ENERGA S.A. and Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. regarding cooperation on the division of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. (Division Agreement),
* agreement between the Company and ENERGA S.A. regarding cooperation on settling the coal-based project as part of Project Ostrołęka C (Settlement Agreement, Coal Project).

Both of the agreements include a statement by ENEA S.A. on withdrawal from further participation in the Gas Project.

On 25 June 2021, Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. as vendor and CCGT Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. as buyer (a wholly-owned subsidiary of ENERGA S.A.) signed a sale agreement and associated agreements regarding an SPV (excluding certain assets) intended (and used as such) to implement economic tasks covering the construction of a gas-fired power generating unit in Ostrołęka and the subsequent operation of this unit (Gas Plant). The business being sold included generally all of the SPV's asset and non-asset components in use as of the transaction date in connection with preparations to begin an investment process consisting of the construction of the Gas Plant. The transaction was intended to facilitate the implementation of a gas project by CCGT Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. as a company that would replace Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. in implementing the investment in Ostrołęka. The sale price for the business being sold (transaction value) was estimated at approx. PLN 166 million. The price was determined on a preliminary basis as the transaction provided for the application of additional prerequisites to determine the final price.

On 25 June 2021, Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. and CCGT Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. on the one hand and GE Power sp. z o.o., based in Warsaw, GE Steam Power Systems S.A.S. (former name: ALSTOM Power Systems S.A.S.), based in Boulogne-Billancourt, France (Coal Project Contractor), and General Electric Global Services, GmbH, based in Baden, Switzerland (together with GE Power sp. z o.o. - Gas Project Contractor) on the other hand signed a Contract Change Document concerning the contract of 21 July 2018 to build unit C at Elektrownia Ostrołęka, with a capacity of 1000 MW, and an Agreement on the settlement of the Coal Project. The Contract Change Document is structured in a way that facilitates implementation of the Gas Project by CCGT Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. as a company that will replace Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. in implementing the investment in Ostrołęka, which is related, inter alia, to the fact that ENEA S.A. has confirmed its withdrawal from participating in the Gas Project. The agreement concerning the Coal Project settlement regulates the rights and obligations of Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. and the Coal Project Contractor mainly in connection with the settlement of construction work completed by the Coal Project Contractor until the contract was suspended, maintenance and security activities during Contract suspension and work related to finishing the work dedicated to implementing the Coal Project. Under this agreement, the Coal Project was supposed to be settled by the end of 2021, and the entire amount that Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. will be obligate to pay to the Coal Project Contractor, taking into account expenditures incurred thus far, will not exceed PLN 1.35 billion (net).

On 22 December 2021 Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. executed an annex to this agreement with the Coal Project Contractor. The annex extended the settlement deadline to 25 March 2022 and results from a verified mechanism for settling the Coal Project.

ENEA S.A.'s commitment to provide funding for Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. resulting from the existing agreements (especially the agreements dated 28 December 2018 and 30 April 2019 and the Settlement Agreement) that is still outstanding amounts to PLN 620 million.

On 31 January 2021 Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. terminated an agreement implementing the capacity obligation contracted by the company as a result of a capacity market auction for 2023. The agreement was terminated due to the supply source being changed from coal to gas in the project to build and operate a new power plant in Ostrołęka.

On 31 March 2022 Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. completed the settlement process with the General Contractor in accordance with the Agreement of 25 June 2021 referred to above. The final value of receivables resulting from the settlement amounted to PLN 958 million net and therefore the amount due to the General Contractor resulting from the difference between the above value and the amounts already paid has already been paid in full by Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. The costs incurred by ENEA S.A. in connection with settlement of the General Contractor's works amounted to 50% of the above amount, i.e. PLN 479 million net (the same amount was paid by ENERGA S.A.).

On 23 September 2022 Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. sold some properties intended for the construction of a gas unit to CCTG Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. The value of the land in question and the value of the elements of the immovable part of the supporting infrastructure constituting the price of the plots sold amounted to approx. PLN 84 million.

On 12 October 2022, Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. conducted the final handover of an investment entitled "Reconstruction of rail infrastructure for handling Elektrownia Ostrołęka C" (the so-called rail siding). In connection with this, in these consolidated financial statements a full release of the provision for future investment liabilities towards Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. was made, amounting to PLN 46,493 thousand. This amount was recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the item "Share of the results of associates and jointly-controlled entities." As of 31 December 2022, the provision amounted to PLN 0.# CO 2 emission allowances

CO 2 emission allowances received for free under the National Allowance Allocation Plan and additional CO 2 emission allowances purchased for redemption, i.e. to comply with the obligation to settle CO 2 emissions, are recognised in a separate item of assets. Emission allowances received for free under the National Allowance Allocation Plan are recognised at zero value. CO 2 emission allowances received for free for a given financial year that are not allocated to the Group's allowance registry and the precise quantity of which is unknown are recognised if they meet the definition of assets. In this case, the Company's Management Board specifies the most reliable quantity of CO 2 emissions that the Group would receive, which is then recognised in the statement of financial position at nominal value, i.e. zero. Recognition takes place at the date on which the planned quantity of CO 2 emission allowances is approved. It is permissible to adjust the estimated quantity of CO 2 emission allowances recognised in the registry as at the reporting date using more recent information received by the Group from personnel responsible for implementing investments notified to the National Investment Plan. Additional CO 2 emission allowances purchased for redemption are recognised at purchase price less impairment. A registry for CO 2 emission allowances is maintained separately for each installation in the following groups of rights:
a) CER green
b) EUA free and purchased

The weighted average purchase price approach is applied to the above groups.

When CO 2 emission allowances are actually granted, which were initially recognised based on an estimate, their number is prospectively adjusted in compliance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. If the actual number of CO 2 emission allowances granted for a given reporting period is specified in the next reporting period, the difference (excess/shortage) between the estimate and the actual number of allowances for the given reporting period should be recognised as an adjustment of allowances granted for the next reporting period. Due to CO 2 emissions, which accompany the electricity generation process, the Group is required to settle such emissions by presenting a specific quantity of CO 2 emission allowances for redemption. The costs of compliance with the above obligation are recognised in accounting books systematically over an annual reporting period in the form of a provision for estimated CO 2 emissions for each installation proportionally to the actual and planned electricity production, and are recognised as cost of core activity. Redemption of allowances is recognised in allowance groups:
a) CER green
b) EUA free and purchased, using the weighted average purchase price approach.

Revenue from sale and the value of sold CO 2 emission allowances sold are recognised in operating revenue or costs, respectively.

Significant judgements and estimates

Determining the impairment of CO 2 emission allowances requires net realisable values to be estimated based on the most up-to-date sales prices at the time when these estimates are made.

20. Inventories

Accounting rules

Components of inventory are measured at the purchase price, which includes the purchase price plus costs, especially the cost to transport it to storage or the cost to manufacture, not exceeding the net sales price less impairment of inventory. The distribution of inventory is established as follows:

  • using the weighted average purchase price approach,
  • using specific identification of actual costs,

The Group's inventory includes energy origin certificates purchased for redemption, for further sale and those produced internally. Energy origin certificates - these are confirmations that energy is produced from renewable energy sources (energy from wind, water, sun, biomass, etc. - green certificates, energy from agriculture biogas - blue certificates). They are issued by the URE President at the request of an energy enterprise that produces energy from renewable sources and in cogeneration. Energy efficiency certificates, i.e. white certificates, serve as confirmation for declared energy savings resulting from activities intended to improve energy efficiency in three areas: increase energy savings by end customers, increase energy savings for own purposes and reduce losses of electricity, heat or natural gas in transmission and distribution. The URE President conducts tenders for white certificates in these categories. They are issued by the URE President at the request of the tender winner. Property rights arising from energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates arise when energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates are entered into registers maintained by Towarowa Giełda Energii S.A. (TGE S.A.). These rights are disposable and constitute an exchange-traded commodity. These rights are transferred when an appropriate entry is made in the energy origin certificate register or energy efficiency certificate register. Property rights expire when they are redeemed. Purchased origin certificates are measured at the purchase price, less any impairment. Origin certificates for energy produced internally are recognised when such energy is produced (or as of the date on which award of such certificates became likely), unless there is justified uncertainty as to their award by the URE President. Origin certificates for energy produced internally are measured as follows:
* in accordance with the rules for determining certificate sales prices resulting from contracts executed by the Group - this applies to certificates that are covered by contracts,
* based on market quotes for certificates from the last day of the month in which the relevant energy volumes were generated - this applies to other certificates that are not covered by sales contracts executed by the Group,
* in an amount resulting from the substitute fees for certificates that are not quoted on the market.

In a situation where the value of origin certificates recognised in records that are not covered by contracts is higher than the value determined using market prices as of the balance sheet date, the Group recognises an impairment loss on these certificates to their market value.

In accordance with the Energy Law and the Act on Energy Efficiency, an energy enterprise involved in trade of energy and sales of energy to end customers is required to:
a) obtain energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates and submit them to the URE President for redemption or
b) pay substitute fees.

The Group is required to obtain and present for redemption the following:
a) energy origin certificates corresponding to the quantities specified in the Energy Law, as a percent of total energy sales to end customers,
b) energy efficiency certificates in quantities expressed in tonnes of oil equivalent (toe), no larger than 3% of division of the amount of revenue from electricity sales to end customers in a given year in which this obligation is performed by the unit substitute fee; the amount of revenue from sale of electricity to end customers generated in a given settlement year is reduced by the amounts and costs referred to in art. 12 sec. 4 of the Act on Energy Efficiency; the size of the obligation in specific settlement years is specified in regulations to the Act on Energy Efficiency.

The deadlines for performing the obligation to redeem energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates or paying substitute fees for each year are governed by the provisions of law in force. The Group submits to the URE President energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates for redemption in monthly cycles in order to perform its obligation for the given year. In accounting books, redemptions of energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates are recognised as costs based on a decision from the URE President concerning redemption, using the specific identification method or the weighted average purchase price method. If at the balance sheet date there is an insufficient quantity of certificates required to perform the obligations imposed by the Energy Law and the Act on Energy Efficiency, the Group creates provisions for redemption of energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates or payment of substitute fees.# Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)

The Group mines coal, which is then partially used in production and partially sold outside the Group. It is not possible to reliably specify which part of coal is sold, therefore the entire inventory is presented in the above table as 'Materials.' The coal presented in the line "materials" was worth PLN 1 179 034 thousand as of 31 December 2022 (PLN 305 268 thousand as at 31 December 2021).

In the 12 months of 2022, impairment of inventory decreased by PLN 179 thousand (in the 12 months of 2021 impairment of inventory declined by PLN 3 554 thousand).

22. Trade and other receivables

Accounting rules

Trade and other receivables are initially recognised at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using effective interest rates, less impairment. If there is no difference between the initial value and the amount (amounts) at maturity (maturities) (payment), interest charged using the effective rate does not apply. Odpis z tytułu utraty wartości należności określony jest zgodnie z modelem oczekiwanych strat kredytowych. Expected credit losses take into account the counterparty's previous default events as well as potential estimated credit losses. An impairment loss is recognised as cost in the statement of comprehensive income at the end of each reporting period.

Significant judgements and estimates

Impairment of trade and other receivables

Impairment of receivables is determined on the basis of expected credit losses. Expected credit losses take into account previous counterparty default events as well as potential estimated credit losses (note 38.1). Potential credit losses are estimated taking into account the type, age, and stage of recovery, with the following stages used: current receivable, overdue receivable prior to court, receivable in court or enforcement proceeding, receivable in bankruptcy or court arrangement. Receivables are written off as costs based on existing internal regulations, taking into account provisions of the Act on corporate income tax.

Impairment losses are mainly recognised on trade receivables.

23. Group as finance or operating lessor / sublessor

Accounting rules

As lessor, the Group classifies leases as finance leases or operating leases. The Group recognises operating lease revenue on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term. In a finance lease, the Group (as lessor) ceases to recognise the leased asset as property, plant and equipment and recognises finance lease receivables in an amount equal to the net lease investment. The recognition of finance income reflects a fixed periodic rate of return in the net lease investment by the lessor as part of a finance lease. Lease payments for a given reporting period decrease the gross lease investment, reducing both the principal receivable and the amount of unrealised finance income.

As an indirect lessor, the Group recognises the main lease contract and the sub-lease contract as two separate contracts. The measurement of the head lease, i.e. measurement of the right-of-use assets and the lease liability, is in accordance with the measurement methodology for standard leases. The Group (indirect lessor) classifies a sublease as a finance lease or an operating lease in reference to the right-of-use resulting from the head lease. Subleases the term of which constitutes a major part of the head lease term are classified as finance leases. Otherwise, the sublease is an operating lease.

The Group (indirect lessor) throughout the term of the sublease recognises both interest income from the sublease and interest costs on the head lease, which are presented separately. The Group (indirect lessor) recognises sublease receivables in an amount equal to the sum of minimum lease payments due to the sublessor resulting from a finance sublease, discounted using the sublease interest rate. Based on the adopted interest rate, the fixed lease payment resulting from the contract is split into principal and interest. The principal portion reduces the amount of sublease receivable, while the interest portion is recognised in profit or loss.

When the Group executes a sublease contract that is an operating lease, the Group (indirect lessor) continues to recognise in the statement of financial position a lease liability and right-of-use assets. As lessor, the Group does not have the option to use a practical expedient in the form of separating lease and non-lease components. The Group must allocate the total contractual consideration to lease and non-lease components based on the unit sale prices for specific components. Unit sale prices may be derived from price lists based on which the Group prepares its offerings. IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers applies to non-lease components.

General information on the Group as lessor

The Group is lessor in leases for event illuminations, in ENEA Smart contracts and also acts as lessor in operating leases for commercial facilities and land.

24. Assets and liabilities arising from contracts with customers

Accounting rules

In its statement of financial position, the Group recognises a contract asset that is the Group's right to remuneration in exchange for goods or services that the Group transfers to the customer.# An asset is recognised if the Group satisfies its obligation by transferring goods or services to the customer before the customer pays or before the payment deadline. In its statement of financial position, the Group recognises contract liabilities that are an obligation for the Group to provide goods or services to customers in exchange for which the Group has received remuneration (or upon which the amount of remuneration depends) from customers. If the customer paid remuneration or the Group has the right to an unconditional amount of remuneration (i.e. a receivable), then prior to the transfer of goods or services to the customer the Group treats the contract as a contract liability when payment is made or becomes due (depending on which is sooner).

*Share capital was fully paid-up. On 19 January 2022, The Management Board of ENEA S.A. adopted a resolution to initiate a share capital increase process at the Company through the issue of no fewer than 1 and no more than 88 288 515 ordinary bearer shares series D, with a nominal value of PLN 1.00 each ("Series D Shares"), with the objective being to finance investment projects in ENEA Group's Distribution Area (including the expansion and modernisation of high- and medium-voltage grids, installation of remote meters and grid connections for new customers), being implemented by ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o., with no possibility to finance coal assets. These projects are aligned with ENEA Group's strategy and are intended to ensure energy security as well as continuous and reliable electricity supplies in ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o.'s operating area. The issue will be a private subscription pursuant to art. 431 § 2 point 1 of the Polish Commercial Companies Code, conducted by way of a public offering exempt from the obligation to publish a prospectus within the meaning of the relevant legislation or any other information document, and will be addressed to investors meeting the criteria set out in the resolution on the share capital increase by way of the issue of the Series D Shares, with full exclusion of the pre-emptive rights to all Series D Shares for the Company's existing shareholders. Given the above, on 19 January 2022 the Management Board called an Extraordinary General Meeting for 10 March 2022 that was intended to adopt a resolution on a share capital increase via the Series D Share issue, with pre-emption rights waived entirely. On 21 January 2022, ENEA S.A. submitted an application to the President of the Council of Ministers for the State Treasury to acquire Series D Shares for a total amount of not less than PLN 899 659 967.85 in exchange for a cash contribution from the re-privatisation fund referred to in art. 56 sec. 1 of the Act of 30 August 1996 on commercialisation and certain employee authorisations ("Application"). The Company requested that the State Treasury acquire not less than 45 470 725 (i.e. the proportional number of Series D Shares to the State Treasury's existing stake in the total number of the Company's shares) and not more than 88 288 515 Series D Shares (i.e. the maximum number of Series D Shares to be issued). The Application was submitted based on the Regulation of the Minister of Finance of 23 December 2021 on the detailed procedure for the acquisition or subscription of shares by the State Treasury using the Reprivatisation Fund in 2021-2022. On 10 March 2022, ENEA S.A.'s Extraordinary General Meeting adopted a resolution pursuant to which a break in the Extraordinary General Meeting was announced until 8 April 2022. On 8 April 2022, the Company signed an investment agreement with the State Treasury represented by the Prime Minister ("Investment Agreement") in relation to the planned issue of the Series D ordinary bearer shares with the exclusion of pre-emptive rights of the existing shareholders. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the State Treasury expressed its intention to acquire up to 88 288 515 Series D Shares for funds in the amount of up to PLN 899 659 967.85 ("New Funds") from the Reprivatisation Fund referred to in art. 56 and art. 69h 1 of the Act of 30 August 1996 on commercialisation and certain employee authorisations.

Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)
The additional information and explanations presented on pages 10 - 117 constitute an integral part of these consolidated financial statements 65The Company made a commitment to the State Treasury that it would allocate the New Funds in their entirety for the implementation by the Company and its subsidiary (ENEA Operator sp. z o.o.) of the following projects: (a) Expansion and modernisation of the grid as regards high and medium voltage substations; (b) Expansion and modernisation of the grid as regards high voltage lines; (c) Expansion and modernisation of the grid as regards medium voltage grids; (d) Remote reading meters; and (e) Connections to the grid. The Investment Agreement sets out the rules governing the use of the New Funds and the consequences of a breach of those rules, the obligations and assurances of the Company in connection with the transfer of the New Funds, the obligations relating to reporting and accounting for the New Funds and the control powers of the Treasury. In the event that the New Funds are used contrary to the Investment Agreement or if the Investment Agreement is improperly performed, the Company will be required, depending on the nature of the provision violated, to pay to the State Treasury the guarantee amounts or return all or part of the New Funds. This refund (which would entail a reduction in share capital) would require a resolution of the general meeting with a qualified 3/4 majority and therefore, in the Group's view, this amount does not constitute a liability.

The Extraordinary General Meeting resumed on 8 April 2022. The Extraordinary General Meeting adopted resolution no. 5 on an increase of the Company's share capital through the issue of series D ordinary bearer shares in a private subscription, a complete exemption of the existing shareholdings of their pre-emption rights to all series D shares, amendment of the Company's articles of association, application for the admission and introduction of the series D Shares and/or rights to series D shares to trade on the regulated market operated by the Warsaw Stock Exchange and dematerialisation of the series D shares and/or rights to series D shares ("Issue Resolution").

* The Series D share issue wa a private subscription (in the meaning of art. 431 § 2 point 1 of the Polish Commercial Companies Code) by way of a public offering ("Offering") addressed exclusively to selected investors on the terms specified in § 3 sec. 2 of this resolution, which will be exempted from the obligation to publish a prospectus in the meaning of the relevant laws or another information or offering document for the purposes of the Offering in accordance with art. 3 sec. 1 in connection with art. 1 sec. 4 letter a) and letter d) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC.
* The aim of the Series D Share issue is to finance investment projects aimed at the development and modernisation of medium- and high-voltage transmission grids and the installation of remote reading meters. Proceeds from the Series D Share issue may not be used to finance coal assets within the Company's group.

Moreover, on 8 April 2022 the Company signed agreements with Pekao Investment Banking Spółka Akcyjna ("Global Coordinator" or "Pekao IB") and Bank Polska Kasa Opieki Spółka Akcyjna ("BM Pekao") (jointly as "Joint Bookrunners") on the placement of shares ("Placement Agreement") and on the commencement of the book-building process by way of a private subscription of no more than 88 288 515 ordinary bearer series D shares. On 8 April 2022, the Company's Management Board also adopted a resolution to set the rules for the offering, rules for conducting the bookbuilding process and the acquisition and allocation of the Series D Shares. In the Placement Agreement, the Issues has undertaken that, inter alia, without the consent of the Global Coordinator, it will not issue, sell or offer shares in the Company within 360 days of the date of the first listing of the Series D Shares, except in accordance with standard exemptions.

On 28 April 2022, in connection with the end of the Series D Shares subscription process, the Company's Management Board adopted a resolution to allocate 88 288 515 Series D Shares. Cash contributions in exchange for the Series D Shares were fully paid. The issue price for the Series D Shares was PLN 8.50 per share. The total value of the subscription, understood as the product of the number of Series D Shares covered by the Offering and the issue price, was PLN 750 452 377.50.

28. Dividend/distribution of earnings

Accounting rules

The payment of dividends for shareholders (including minority shareholders in the case of dividends at subsidiaries) is recognised as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which it was approved by the Parent's shareholders. Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is obtained. Dividend income is presented in the statement of comprehensive income below operating profit.

A decision on how to allocate the 2022 profit will be made by shareholders at the 2023 Ordinary General Meeting. The Management Board will present a recommendation to allocate the profit in the second quarter of 2023.

On 24 June 2022 an Ordinary General Meeting of ENEA S.A. adopted resolution no. 7 concerning the allocation of net profit for the financial year covering the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021, pursuant to which PLN 442 110 thousand was allocated to supplementary capital and PLN 18 299 thousand to reduce the negative value of other capitals.

On 17 June 2021, the Ordinary General Meeting of ENEA S.A. adopted resolution no. 6, resolving to cover the net loss for the financial year covering the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2020, amounting to PLN 3 356 750 thousand, using retained earnings (PLN 2 417 070 thousand) and supplementary capital (PLN 939 680 thousand).

29. Capital management policy

The Group's main assumption as regards managing its financing sources is to develop an optimal equity and liabilities structure in order to reduce the cost to finance its operations, secure an investment grade credit rating and financing sources for the operating and investing activities of the Group and its subsidiaries. Activities undertaken in this area intend to ensure the Group's financial security and satisfactory value for its shareholders. In optimising the equity and liabilities structure by using financial leverage, it is important to maintain a capital base at a level sufficient to develop the trust of investors, lenders and the market. The Group monitors the effectiveness and stability of its capital using the debt ratio and return on capital ratios. The Group aims to increase capital effectiveness while retaining it at a safe level. The Group describes the above-mentioned indicators in the Management Board Report on ENEA S.A.'s and ENEA Group's Activities in 2022.

30. Debt-related liabilities

Accounting rules

Financial liabilities, including credit facilities, loans and debt securities

At initial recognition, all credit facilities and loans are recognised at fair value less capital-raising costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, credit and loan instrument liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate approach. In determining the amortised cost, costs related to obtaining credit or loan and discount or bonuses related to the liability are taken into account.

Financial liabilities that include debt securities are classified at initial recognition as:
* financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
* financial assets at amortised cost.

Accounting rules for financial liabilities are described in greater detail in the section concerning financial instruments in the note devoted to financial instruments and fair value (note 35), whereas lease liabilities are described in the note concerning right-of-use assets (note 16).

In further activities, ENEA S.A. will focus on securing appropriate diversification of external financing sources for investments planned in "ENEA Group's Development Strategy to 2030 with an Outlook to 2040," with particular focus on the Distribution and Renewables segments. At the same time, bearing in mind the very limited possibilities of obtaining financing for the operations of the generating companies, the ENEA Group will take steps to spin off from its structures the assets related to electricity generation in conventional coal units.

Presented below is a short description of ENEA Group's significant credit and loan agreements:

ENEA S.A.

ENEA S.A. currently has credit agreements with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for a total amount of PLN 2 371 000 thousand (Agreement A PLN 950 000 thousand, Agreement B PLN 475 000 thousand and Agreement C PLN 946 000 thousand).

In the 12-month period ending 31 December 2022 ENEA S.A. did not execute new bond issue programme agreements.

On 25 November 2022 ENEA S.A. signed "Agreement amending and consolidating the Program Agreement of 30 June 2014" with PKO BP S.A., Bank Pekao S.A. and mBank S.A. The most important changes included the introduction of provisions on sustainability indicators, clauses on the detailed description of how the interest rate would be determined in the event of non-publication of the WIBOR rate and the updating and adapting to market practices of the operating procedure and model documents used in the bond offering process.

Interest rate hedges and currency hedges

These transactions are described in notes 38.5 and 38.4.

Financing terms - covenants

The financing agreements stipulate that ENEA S.A. and ENEA Group must meet certain financial ratios, among other things. As at 30 June 2022 and according to preliminary calculations on the basis of data as at 31 December 2022, the Subsidiary Indebtedness for Borrowed Money ratio under the loan agreements with the European Investment Bank ("EIB Agreements") exceeded the permissible level as a result of a significant decline in the debt of ENEA S.A. due to the redemption of bonds in the total amount of PLN 1 799 000 thousand in June 2022. Further, the level of the Subsidiary Indebtedness for Borrowed Money ratio was significantly affected by a negative valuation of FX Forward contracts for EUR concluded by ENEA Trading Sp. z o.o. in connection with transactions hedging emission allowances (EUAs) for ENEA Group companies.

In line with the deadlines set out in its agreements with the EIB, the Company informs the lender of having exceeded the permissible level of the ratio referred to above. According to the provisions of the agreements with the EIB, exceeding the permissible level of the Subsidiary Indebtedness for Borrowed Money ratio does not result in the immediate maturity of the loans, but gives the EIB the right to issue a notice to remedy, which the EIB has not used. As at the date of these consolidated financial statements and during 2022, the Group was not required to repay any financial debt early.

In January 2023 ENEA S.A. completed the process of raising new long-term debt financing, which was finalised in early February 2023. According to ENEA S.A.'s preliminary calculations, this brings the Subsidiary Indebtedness for Borrowed Money ratio below the level set out in the EIB Agreements.

Lease liabilities

As at 31 December 2022 As at 31 December 2021
Lease liabilities Interest Total Lease liabilities
Under one year 31 338 15 793 47 131 30 678
From one to five years 124 920 96 569 221 489 113 380
Over five years 500 200 288 696 788 896 452 613
Total 656 458 401 058 1 057 516 596 671

Contracts that are subject to IFRS 16 are leases, rights to perpetual usufruct of land, tenancy agreements that meet the definition of a lease (office space in buildings, stations, underground parts of land). The Group sets the lease term, i.e. an irrevocable lease term, together with: a) term for an option to extend the lease if it is sufficiently certain that the Group will exercise this right; b) term for an option to terminate the lease if it is sufficiently certain that the Group will not exercise the right.

In most of its leases, the Group uses a lease term in accordance with the contractual period. For contracts executed for an indefinite period, the Group determines the minimum contractual term for both of the parties. If the Group is unable to determine how long it intends to use the asset and such an estimate could be treated as a lease term in the case of contracts with an indefinite term, the Group assumes that the irrevocable contractual term will be the termination period for that contract.

In the case of rights to the perpetual usufruct of land, the Group sets the lease term in line with the period for which such rights are granted. In the case of rights to use underground parts of land, the average lease term is used, based on the period outstanding, as at the date on which the liability is recognised, for depreciation of the infrastructure placed under the ground.

In 2022, leases also included cars, office space, land and the renting of parking spots. There is a buy-out option in the case of cars. At LBW, a contract to lease locomotives includes a fixed monthly payment for use. The rent payment may be proportionally reduced for periods in which the lessee does not use locomotives with no fault on the lessee's part. The contract does not contain provisions concerning extensions or buy-out of the lease object after the lease term. The roadheader rental agreement also provides for a monthly fixed fee for use.It can be terminated if the roadheader is not in use for at least 2 months.
Finance lease costs

Year ended 31 December 2022 31 December 2021
Interest cost on lease liabilities (17 342)
Cost of short-term leases for which a practical expedient was applied (559)
Cost of variable lease payments not recognised in measurement of lease liabilities (3)
Gain on change in or liquidation of right-of-use assets -

The present value of future lease payments is calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the lease rate is unknown, the Group uses a residual interest rate, i.e. a rate that would have to be paid in order to borrow, on similar terms and with similar collateral, funds necessary to purchase an asset similar to the right-of-use asset on similar economic terms. The Group may use a practical expedient and not apply the lease recognition model in reference to: a) short-term leases (a lease term of 12 months or less; the contract does not include a right to buy out the asset) b) low-asset value leases the initial value of which for new assets does not exceed PLN 10 thousand (even if their aggregate value is material). If the Group decides to use this expedient, it recognises lease payments as cost on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term or using another approach that more closely reflects the Group benefit. This exemption does not apply to situations where the Group transfers the asset under a sub-lease or expects to transfers it.

General information on the Group as lessee

The Group does not have significant future cash outflows that are not included in measurement of a finance liability and covenants imposed by lessors. The Group was not a party to any leasebacks in 2022.

31. Trade and other payables

Accounting rules

Trade and other payables classified as financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value that corresponds to nominal value, less transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using an effective interest rate approach.

Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)
The additional information and explanations presented on pages 10 - 117 constitute an integral part of these consolidated financial statements 74

Other liabilities not constituting financial liabilities are initially recognised at nominal value and are measured at the end of the reporting period in the amount of payment due.

Total current trade and other payables 5 165 576
Total trade and other payables 5 197 841

The advances for Compensations presented in the table above amounted to PLN 202 199 thousand. The advances received from Zarządca Rozliczeń S.A. will be settled in 2023, in which the maximum prices resulting from the Act of 27 October 2022 on emergency measures to limit the level of electricity prices and support for certain consumers in 2023 will be applied with eligible customers (see also the information on compensation presented in note 8 on revenue from sales).

CO 2 futures are entered into in order to ensure that the Group's generating companies have an adequate volume of CO 2 allowances for subsequent redemption. These are transactions settled by physical delivery of allowances. The Group therefore acquires CO 2 emission allowances for its own purposes and therefore, using the provisions of IFRS 9, does not measure these forward transactions in the financial statements. The execution of a futures transaction involves the transfer of funds to a depository, which provides the market operator (market organiser) with security for the correct settlement of the transaction at maturity of the futures transaction. At the same time, due to the nature of the settlement of CO 2 futures contracts and the mark-to-market mechanism, the Group receives (or disburses) cash and recognises a liability (or asset) for the receipt (transfer) of cash resulting from daily changes in CO 2 futures quotes, and these amounts are presented separately from the deposits presented as current other receivables. As a result, liabilities (assets) for the settlement of futures contracts arise as a result of the daily settlement of open contracts (linked to the level of exchange quotations of CO 2 emission allowances), irrespective of the amount of collateral in the form of initial deposits, and are subject to final settlement on the date of closing a given contract and physical purchase of CO 2 emission allowances. This means that on the closing date of the contract, the Group transfers cash in the amount of the strike price agreed in the contract adjusted by the daily settlement cash received (transferred). At the same time, the Group receives cash from the return of the initial deposit. Under the terms of the CO 2 futures contracts, settlement may only take place on a net basis (i.e. through settlement with the initial margin provided) if there is a situation of default by the parties to the transaction. Because these premises are not met as at 31 December 2022, the Group does not have a legal title to set off, and therefore the amounts for daily fluctuation settlements and deposit amounts have not been offset in the balance sheet, but have been presented separately. The amounts that could be offset if the contractual premises are met amount to PLN 1 772 134 thousand on the other liabilities side and PLN 917 305 thousand on the other receivables side.

32. Employee benefit liabilities

Accounting rules

Short-term employee benefits

Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)
The additional information and explanations presented on pages 10 - 117 constitute an integral part of these consolidated financial statements 75

The Group classifies the following as short-term employee benefits: monthly salary, annual bonus, right to discounts on electricity, short-term paid absences (remuneration for unused vacation time), together with social security contributions, Energy Professionals' Day awards and liabilities concerning the Voluntary Redundancy Programme. The liability concerning (accumulated) short-term paid absences (pay for leave) is recognised even if the paid absences do not entitle to a cash equivalent. The Group determines the expected cost of accumulated paid absences as an additional amount that it expects to pay as a result of not exercising this entitlement as at the balance sheet date. Other liabilities are measured in the amount due to be paid.

Long-term employee benefits

Pursuant to an agreement between staff representatives and the Group's representatives, the Group's employees are entitled to certain benefits other than remuneration for work, i.e.:

These benefits are financed entirely by the Group. Actuarial methods are used to estimate these liabilities.

Defined benefit plans

In accordance with workplace remuneration regulations, the Group's employees have the right to the following post-employment benefits:
− retirement/disability severance pay - paid on a one-off basis upon retirement,
− post-mortem payment - if an employee dies in the course of work or while on disability leave after work as a result of a disease, the family is entitled to a post-mortem payment from the employer,
− cash equivalent resulting from the right to discounted electricity prices,
− benefits from the Workplace Social Benefits Fund.

The provisions below constitute a defined benefit plan after the employment period. The present value of provisions for post-employment benefits is calculated at each balance sheet date by an independent actuary, using actuarial methods. The provisions are calculated for every employee individually. The liabilities accrued are equal to discounted payments that will be made in the future, taking into account employee turnover, and they apply to a period until the balance sheet date. Demographic information and information on employee turnover are based on historic data. Actuarial gains and losses on the measurement of post-employment benefit liabilities are recognised entirely in other comprehensive income.

Longevity bonus

Other long-term employee benefits at the Group include longevity bonuses. The amount of these bonuses depends on seniority and the employee's remuneration. Actuarial methods are used to estimate these liabilities. Actuarial gains and losses are fully recognised in present-period profit or loss.

Defined contribution plans

1) Social insurance contributions

The social insurance system is based on a state programme under which the Group is obligated to pay contributions for employees' social insurance when they are due. The Group is not required, either legally or customarily, to make future social insurance contributions. The Group recognises the cost of present-period contributions in present-period profit or loss as employee benefit cost.## 2) Employee Pension Programme

In accordance with an appendix to the Collective Labour Agreement, the Group runs an Employee Pension Programme in the form of group insurance for employees with a capital fund in accordance with rules specified in the Act and negotiated with the trade unions. The Employee Pension Programme is available to the Group's employees after a year's employment regardless of the type of work contract. The Group covers the cost of contributions to the Employee Pension Programme from present-period profit or loss as employee benefit cost.

Significant judgements and estimates

A valuation was adopted for employee benefit provisions based on the balance of liabilities at the end of the reporting period concerning expected future payments of benefits, which was calculated by an independent actuary using actuarial methods. This estimate is affected by the discount rate and long-term growth in wages.

Estimates of the following employee benefit liabilities are done by an actuary:
* longevity bonus payments,
* pension/disability benefit payments,
* post-mortem payments,
* right to discounts in purchasing electricity,
* contribution to the Workplace Social Benefits Fund.

For calculation purposes, basic data was used for each Group employee individually, as at the end of the reporting period, (taking the employee's gender into account), from the following areas:
* age
* employment at the Group,
* overall employment
* remuneration, constituting the basis for the size of longevity bonus and retirement severance payment.

Actuarial assumptions used in calculating these estimates are presented below.

33. Provisions

Accounting rules
Provisions are created when the Group has a present obligation (legal or customarily expected) resulting from past events, and there is a likelihood that performing this obligation will result in an outflow of economic benefits and if the amount of this obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions for liabilities are measured at justified, reliably estimated values. Specific provisions are established for losses related to court cases against the Group. The amount of the provision constitutes the most accurate estimate of funds necessary to satisfy the claim as at the balance sheet date. The cost to create provisions is recognised in other operating costs. Using a previously created provision for certain or highly likely future obligations is recognised when these obligations arise as a decrease of the provision. In the event of a decrease or cessation of risk justifying the creation of a provision, an unused provision increases finance income or other operating revenue. The Group also creates provisions for onerous contracts if the costs to comply with an obligation arising from a contract exceed the benefits (that are expected to be) received from that contract.# Provisions for Liabilities and Charges

The Group also creates provisions for pre-trial claims submitted by the owners of properties on which its distribution grids with equipment are located and for other claims related to the Group's grid assets on properties for which the Group has no legal title. Estimating the amount of compensation includes potential payments of compensation for non-contractual use of land and for rent, and is prepared by technical personnel.

Provision for energy origin certificates and energy efficiency certificates

The Group establishes reserves in connection with the obligation to present energy certificates of origin and energy efficiency certificates for redemption or the need to pay substitute fees. The basis for determining provisions for redemption of energy origin certificates for each instrument is the quantity of energy origin certificates constituting the difference between the quantity of certificates required for redemption in accordance with the Energy Law and the quantity of certificates redeemed as at the reporting date. The basis for determining provisions for redemption of energy efficiency certificates is the quantity of certificates expressed in tonnes of oil equivalent constituting the difference between the quantity of certificates required for redemption under the Energy Law and the quantity of certificates redeemed as at the reporting date.

Provisions are measured as follows:

  1. first, based on the purchase price for the energy efficiency certificates held but not redeemed at the balance sheet date,
  2. second, based on the purchase price resulting from the Group's sale agreements as regards the part of the certificates that the Group intends to receive first,
  3. third, based on the weighted average price in session transactions executed on the property rights market managed by Towarowa Giełda Energii S.A. in the course of the month with the reporting date that is used to determine the amount of provision,
  4. in the case of a lack of such transactions or a market shortage preventing the Group from purchasing a sufficient quantity of rights required to perform its obligation, the missing quantity of the provision is valued based on the unit substitute fee for the given financial year.

The provision for origin certificates will be performed in Q1-Q2 2023.

Provision for mine liquidation

A provision for future costs associated with mine closure is recognised in compliance with the requirements stemming from the Geological and Mining Law, pursuant to which a mining enterprise is required to close mines after production ends, in an amount of the expected costs associated with:
− securing or liquidating mining excavations and mine facilities and equipment;
− securing any unused parts of the deposit;
− securing any neighbouring deposits;
− securing excavations adjacent to the mining facility;
− providing the necessary means to protect the environment and rehabilitate land and manage post-mining areas.

The amount of provision is recognised in the present value of expenditures that - it is expected - will be necessary to comply with the obligation. An interest rate before tax is then used, which reflects the present market assessment of the value of money in time and risk associated specifically with the liability. Increase in the provision associated with the passage of time is recognised as interest costs. Changes in the amount of this provision related to updated estimates (inflation rate, expected nominal value of expenditures on liquidation) in reference to the provision for mine closure are recognised as adjustment of the value of non-current assets subject to the closure obligation.

Significant judgements and estimates

Provision for non-contractual use of property

Valuation includes estimating the potential payments of compensation for non-contractual use of land and for rent. The provision for non-contractual use of land is estimated using the stages and weights approach, i.e. the likelihood of losing the dispute and the necessity to satisfy the claim. The size of awarded compensation for non-contractual use of land might be significant for the Group given the number of properties in question however the Group is unable to estimate the maximum compensation amount. The Group, in connection with establishing transmission corridors, has estimated and taken into account in the provision also compensation for non-contractual use of land on which its grid

assets (power lines) are situated such as were not subject to any claims as of the reporting date. There is a high uncertainty around when this provision will be used.

Provision for other claims

This item includes provisions for claims that are unrelated to the non-contractual use of land. It is not possible to estimate the deadline for outflow of economic benefits on account of the rest of the provisions.

Provision for landfill site reclamation

After filling or closing a slag and ash landfill site, the Group is required to rehabilitate the land. Given the fact that the Group has large unfilled landfill sites, the rehabilitation obligation is expected to arise in 2060. Important factors affecting the value of the reclamation provision are discount rates, inflation and the cost of reclaiming 1 ha.

Provision for CO 2 emission allowance purchases

The amount of the provision is determined based on the value of the allowances payable and free on record at the balance sheet date. The provision is first established on the basis of the value of the Group's entitlements shown at the reporting date. In the event that the demand for allowances is not covered by the amount of CO 2 emission rights held, a provision will be made for the amount of uncovered estimated emissions on the basis of the purchase prices of allowances in futures contracts. In the event that the demand for allowances is not covered by the amount of allowances included in the balance sheet purchased on a forward basis, a provision is made for the amount of uncovered estimated emissions based on market quotations at the reporting date. The cost provision for the redemption of CO 2 allowances is estimated on the basis of the weighted average inventory price. At the balance sheet date, on the basis of the actual and planned CO 2 emissions and on the basis of the executed and planned CO 2 contracting, the CO 2 inventory (in volume and value) at the end of the reporting year is estimated and the weighted average inventory price is then determined. The estimated inventory price determines the amount of the provision at the balance sheet date in the reporting period by multiplying this price by the amount of the issue made.

Provision for mine liquidation costs

The Group creates a provision for the costs of mine closure that it is required to incur by law. The key assumptions used in determining the mine closure costs include mine life-cycle, expected inflation and long-term discount rates. Any changes to these assumptions have an impact on the provision's book value. Mine closure costs are calculated by an independent advisory firm using historic data concerning mine closure costs in the hard coal sector in Poland. It is difficult to determine when this provision will be performed.

Provision for claims concerning terminated agreements for the purchase of property rights

Recognising this provision requires the most accurate estimate of potential compensation for terminating contracts for the purchase of property rights (note 43.6). It is difficult to determine when this provision will be performed.

Provision for CO 2 emission allowance purchases

The provision for CO 2 emission allowance purchases as at 31 December 2022 amounted to PLN 5 499 532 thousand (as at 31 December 2021: PLN 2 859 300 thousand). This provision will be used in 2023. The increase in the provision was due to an increase in the market price of CO 2 allowances (the provision is estimated on the basis of the weighted average inventory price). Quantitative information on CO 2 emission allowances is presented in note 19.

Provision for other claims

As at 31 December 2022, the provision for other submitted claims decreased by PLN 153 657 thousand, primarily due to court settlements in disputes relating to terminated contracts for the purchase of property rights. Detailed information on the provision for court disputes related to the termination by ENEA S.A. of agreements for the sale of property rights arising from certificates of origin of electricity from RES is presented in note 43.6 (this provision is included in the table above in the column "Provision for other submitted claims").

Provision for onerous contracts

Rules for settlements with prosumers are specified in the Act of 20 February 2015 on renewable energy sources (Polish Journal of Laws of 2015, item 478, as amended. In the net-metering system, as part of a discount for energy introduced by a prosumer to the grid, the Company pays the prosumer's variable distribution fees (the prosumer is exempted from them), which in effect generates negative financial results for the Company. In accordance with the update of the Act on renewable energy sources, prosumers who apply for a micro-installation connection to the distribution grid until 31 March 2022 acquire the right to a 15-year settlement of energy as part of a support system (net-metering system). At 31 December 2022, the Company had nearly 137 thousand agreements with prosumers. Considering the above and acting pursuant to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the Company recognised as at 31 December 2022 a provision for onerous contracts amounting to PLN 296 523 thousand.

As at 30 June 2022, ENEA S.A. created a provision for onerous contracts for customers in tariff group G at the level of PLN 64 231 thousand, due to the uncertainty as to whether the Company will obtain an increase in revenue covering the justified increased costs of purchasing electricity and property rights. This provision was entirely used in the second half of 2022.

On 17 December 2022 the President of the Energy Regulatory Office ("URE President") approved a tariff for electricity for a set of tariff G customer groups for the period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023 ("Tariff"). The URE President approved the price for the sale of electricity to recipients in tariff group G for ENEA S.A., at an average level of PLN 1 050.58 per MWh, after a previous in minus adjustment of the amount of the Tariff determined in the first application submitted by the Company in this matter. The amount of the Tariff does not fully cover the Company's estimated justified costs for the purchase of electricity, based on the contracts already concluded and the valuation of the open position. Considering the above and acting pursuant to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, the Company identified the necessity to recognise in 2022 a provision for onerous contracts for customers from tariff group G amounting to PLN 368 295 thousand. The Company has applied to the URE President to change the amount of the Tariff approved on 17 December 2022 and is awaiting a decision on the matter.

The prices from the 2023 Tariff approved by the President of URE are used to calculate the compensation (Note 8) due to the Company pursuant to art. 12 sec. 2 of the Act of 7 October 2022 on special solutions for the protection of electricity consumers in 2023 in connection with the situation on the electricity market and art. 8 sec. 2 of the Act of 27 October 2022 on emergency measures to limit the level of electricity prices and support certain consumers in 2023.

Furthermore, in connection with concluded forward contracts for the supply of electricity for which the costs necessary to perform the contract exceed the expected benefits in relation to the concluded contract prices for 2022 with a delivery date in the period from 1 July 2022 to 31 December 2022, the Group, acting in accordance with IAS 37, identified the need to recognise a provision in Q2 2022 for onerous contracts, incurring charges on this account in the amount of PLN 446 932 thousand. At the end of the third quarter, the Group updated the amount of the provision, mainly as a result of estimated higher costs necessary to execute the contracts in connection with the need to purchase hard coal from suppliers other than Lubelski Węgiel "Bogdanka" S.A. The amount of the provision as at 30 September 2022 was PLN 1 311 492 thousand. As at 31 December 2022, the Group does not report this provision as it was fully used in the fourth quarter.

Other provisions

Mainly concern:
- potential liabilities related to grid assets resulting from differences in the interpretation of regulations PLN 196 136 thousand (as at 31 December 2021: PLN 186 434 thousand); it is difficult to determine when this provision will be performed, however in these financial statements it is assumed that it will not happen within 12 months,
- costs to use forest land managed by State Forests PLN 1 536 thousand (as at 31 December 2021: PLN 50 058 thousand); this provision is expected to be realised within 12 months, according to the financial statements,
- future investment liabilities towards Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. PLN 0 thousand (as at 31 December 2021: PLN 46 493 thousand).

34. Accounting for subsidies and road lighting modernisation services

Accounting rules

Subsidies

The Group receives subsidies in the form of tangible assets and reimbursement of costs spent on tangible assets. Subsidies are recognised in the statement of financial position as deferred revenue if there is sufficient certainty that they will be received and that the Group will meet the relevant conditions. Grants received in relation to costs incurred by the Group are recognised as income in the income statement in the periods in which the related costs are incurred. Subsidies received as reimbursement of investment expenditures incurred by the Group are systematically recognised, proportionately to depreciation charges, as other operating revenue in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income throughout the asset's period of use. Recognising a subsidy in financial statements depends on the intended use of such financing, e.g.:
- subsidies received and intended for the acquisition or manufacture of tangible assets are recognised in the statement of financial position as deferred revenue,
- subsidies for purposes other than those described above are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as other operating revenue.

The item 'deferred revenue concerning subsidies' includes mainly EU subsidies and subsidies from the NFOŚiGW for the development of electricity and heating infrastructure. The grants mainly concern investments and the conduct of research and development work. Each grant is awarded on the basis of a separate agreement, from which a number of obligations arise. Contractors must be selected on the basis of transparent procedures that are subject to examination by the financing institutions. The expenditure on the basis of which the grant is awarded must meet eligibility criteria, which are very detailed and vary according to the type of project implemented (investment/R&D). In most cases, grants are awarded in the form of refund of eligible expenditure incurred. There are occasional advance payments. Each agreement also contains information obligations as well as an obligation to maintain the results over a so-called sustainability period, which for large companies is five years.

The Group enters into contracts for the provision of lighting services to the Municipalities with the obligation to provide lighting for public places. The lighting service provided by the Group includes the operation of road lighting, while at the same time the Group also provides energy supply obligations. The lighting service is provided on a continuous basis. The Group provides lighting services using its lighting assets (road lighting networks). Moreover, the Group provides a service to improve the quality and efficiency of road lighting. The service involves upgrading or extending lighting assets with Group funds.# Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)

35. Financial instruments and financial risk management

Accounting rules

Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial instruments in the following categories:

  • financial assets at fair value through profit or loss,
  • equity instruments through other comprehensive income,
  • financial assets at amortised cost,
  • financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include:

  • financial assets held for trading (including derivative instruments for which no hedging policy is designated),
  • financial assets voluntarily assigned to this category,
  • financial assets that do not meet the definition of basic lending arrangement, including equity instruments such as shares, except instruments designated as equity instruments measured through other comprehensive income,
  • financial assets that meet the definition of basic lending arrangement and are not held in accordance with a business model for the purpose of obtaining cash flows or in order to obtain cash flows and for sale.

Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are held for trading or expected to be performed within 12 months from the balance sheet date.

b) Financial assets at amortised cost

Financial assets measured at amortised cost are financial assets that are held in accordance with a business model that aims to hold financial assets to generate contractual cash flows and whose contractual terms meet the criteria of basic lending arrangement.

c) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are financial assets that are held in accordance with a business model that aims to both receive contractual cash flows and sell financial assets as well as whose contractual terms meet the criteria of basic lending arrangement.

d) Equity instruments through other comprehensive income

Equity instruments through other comprehensive income include investments in equity instruments that are voluntarily and irreversibly classified as such at initial recognition. Equity instruments that meet the definition of held for trading and meet the criteria for mandatory payment recognised by the acquiring company in a business combination may not be subject to this classification.

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset that is subject to classification for the purposes of fair value measurement. Trade receivables without a financial component that are measured at transaction prices are an exception to this rule. The fair value of financial assets not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is increased by transaction costs that may be directly assigned to the purchase/acquisition of these assets.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value on every balance sheet date. Fair value determined as at the balance sheet date is not adjusted by transaction costs that would be necessary to perform the given item. Restatement to fair value for assets in this category is recognised in profit or loss. If a given item is removed from accounts, the Group determines the profit or loss on the disposal and recognises it in the period's result.

Financial assets at amortised cost are measured at amortised cost on every balance sheet date. The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the given financial asset is measured at initial recognition, decreased by repayment of principal and increased or decreased by accumulated depreciation, determined using the effective interest rate method, of any differences between the initial amount and the amount at maturity, and adjusted by any allowances for expected credit losses.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value on every balance sheet

date. Fair value determined as at the balance sheet date is not adjusted by transaction costs that would be necessary to perform the given item. Interest charged on such items and allowances for expected credit losses are recognised in the period's result, while other restatements to fair value are recognised as other comprehensive income.

Equity instruments through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value on every balance sheet date. Fair value determined as at the balance sheet date is not adjusted by transaction costs that would be necessary to perform the given item. Restatements to fair value are recognised as other comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities, including credit facilities, loans and debt securities

Financial liabilities comprising trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value, less transaction costs incurred. Financial liabilities that include credit facilities, loans and debt securities are classified at initial recognition as:

  • financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss,
  • financial assets at amortised cost.

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include:

  • financial liabilities that meet the definition of held for trading, including derivative instruments that are not used for hedge accounting,
  • financial liabilities that are voluntarily designated by the Group as measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost include all financial liabilities that are subject to classification for the purposes of measurement that are not classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial liability that is subject to classification for the purposes of fair value measurement. The fair value of financial liabilities not classified as at fair value through profit or loss is decreased by transaction costs that may be directly assigned to the origination of the liability.

The balance sheet measurement of a financial liability and the recognition of restatements depend on the classification of the given item to the relevant category for measurement purposes:

  • financial liabilities classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at each balance sheet at fair value; fair value determined at the balance sheet date is not adjusted for transaction costs that would have to be incurred to settle a given item; restatements to fair value are recognised in the period's financial result;
  • financial liabilities at amortised cost are measured at amortised cost on every balance sheet date.

Significant judgements and estimates

Financial assets are analysed at the end of each reporting period in terms of expected credit losses and indications of impairment. Individual financial instruments of significant value are assessed for impairment individually. Other financial assets are split into groups with similar credit risk.

Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value include:
- shares in unrelated entities, the stake in which is below 20%; this line as of 31 December 2022 includes a stake in ElectroMobility Poland S.A., for which there is no market price quoted on an active market; having analysed the standard IFRS 9, the Group decided to qualify these interests as financial instruments through other comprehensive income; in the event that interests in unrelated entities are quoted on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, their fair value is determined on the basis of stock market quotes;
- Polimex-Mostostal S.A. call options;
- derivative instruments, which include the measurement of interest rate swaps; the fair value of derivative instruments is established by calculating the net present value based on two yield curves, i.e. a curve to determine discount factors and a curve used to estimate future variable reference rates;
- forward contracts for the purchase of electricity and gas and property rights.

Non-current debt financial assets at amortised cost cover loans maturing in over one year. Current debt financial assets at amortised cost cover loans maturing in under one year. The item other short-term investments includes deposits with maturity over 3 months. The fair value of bank credit, loans and debt securities is calculated for financial instruments that are based on a fixed rate of interest, based on current WIBOR. The table above contains an analysis of financial instruments at fair valu e, grouped into a three-level hierarchy, where:
Level 1 - fair value is based on (unadjusted) market prices quoted for identical assets or liabilities on active markets.
Level 2 - fair value is determined on the basis of values observed on the market, which are not a direct market quote (e.g. they are established by direct or indirect reference to similar instruments on a market).
Level 3 - fair value is determined using various measurement techniques that are not, however, based on observable market data.

No transfers between the levels were made in 2022.

The additional information and explanations presented on pages 10 - 117 constitute an integral part of these consolidated financial statements

As at 31 December 2022, financial assets at fair value included call options for Polimex-Mostostal S.A. shares, among other things. Pursuant to a call option agreement for Polimex-Mostostal S.A. shares of 18 January 2017, as amended, ENEA S.A. holds 23 call options from Towarzystwo Finansowe Silesia Sp. z o.o. (TFS) to purchase 6 937 500 shares, with a nominal value of PLN 2 each.The contractual share allocation date is at the end of each calendar quarter from September 2021 to December 2026. On 30 March 2022 ENEA S.A. submitted a demand to exercise call option no. 4 and made a transfer for 187 500 shares of Polimex Mostostal S.A. The increase of Polimex Mostostal S.A.'s share capital by PLN 1 500 thousand, i.e. from PLN 475 738 thousand to PLN 477 238 thousand, by admitting 750 000 ordinary bearer shares series S with a nominal value of PLN 2 each, was registered on 1 April 2022. In June 2022, ENEA S.A. sold 195 118 Polimex – Mostostal S.A. shares that it had previously held, thus decreasing its stake in that company's share capital from 16.48% to 16.39%. In July, the Company sold 117 382 shares and thus ENEA S.A. reduced its stake in that company's share capital to 16.31%. The increase of Polimex Mostostal S.A.'s share capital by PLN 1 000 thousand, i.e. from PLN 477 238 thousand to PLN 478 238 thousand, by admitting 500 000 ordinary bearer shares series S with a nominal value of PLN 2 each, was registered on 14 July 2022. On 21 October 2022, 750 000 Series S ordinary bearer shares with a nominal value of PLN 2 each were registered with the NDS and admitted to trading by the WSE, and the company's share capital was increased by PLN 1 500 thousand, i.e. from PLN 478 238 thousand to PLN 479 738 thousand. As of the date on which these consolidated financial statements were prepared, ENEA S.A. held a 16.26% stake in Polimex Mostostal S.A. A fair-value measurement of the call options was prepared using the Black-Scholes model. The book value of these options as at 31 December 2022 was PLN 17 844 thousand (at 31 December 2021: PLN 16 231 thousand). Moreover, the Group's financial assets at fair value, worth PLN 233 026 thousand (PLN 421 088 thousand as of 31 December 2021) and financial liabilities worth PLN 494 845 thousand (PLN 265 517 thousand as of 31 December 2021) include the measurement of derivative contracts for the purchase of electricity and gas and concerning property rights not used for the Group's own purposes. The nominal value of contracts for the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and property rights maturing in 2022-2023, presented as financial assets and liabilities at fair value, amounts to PLN 784 944 thousand (PLN 0 thousand concerns procurement contracts and PLN 784 944 thousand concerns sales contracts).

36. Debt financial assets at amortised cost

The amount of PLN 42 004 thousand in the consolidated statement of financial position relates to the loan granted to Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. (detailed information in note 18). Impairment of financial assets at amortised cost (concerns loans granted) as at 31 December 2022 amount to PLN 198 336 thousand. The total reversal of the impairment loss on loans recognised in the 12 months ended 31 December 2022 amounted to PLN 27 274 thousand and this amount was recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under the heading: "Impairment of financial assets at amortised cost."

37. Hedge accounting

Accounting rules

Hedge accounting and derivative instruments

Derivative instruments that are used by the Group in order to hedge against specific risk, related to changes in interest rates and exchange rates, are measured at fair value. Derivative instruments are recognised as assets if their value is positive and as liabilities if their value is negative. The fair value of currency contracts is determined by reference to current forward rates for contracts with the same maturity or based on valuation by independent entities. The fair value of interest rate swaps may be determined based on valuation by independent entities. The fair value of other derivative instruments is determined based on market data or valuation by independent institutions specialised in this type of valuation.

For some or all of its exposure to a particular risk, the Group may apply hedge accounting if the hedging instrument and the hedged item that create a hedging relationship are in line with risk management objectives and the hedging strategy. The Group defines hedging relationships concerning various types of risk as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges. Hedging a risk that concerns likely future obligations is treated as a cash flow hedge. When a hedging relationship is established, the Group documents the relation between the hedging instrument and the hedged item as well as risk management objectives and the strategy for implementing various hedging transactions. Derivatives that are hedging instruments are recognised by the Group in accordance with rules concerning fair value or cash flow hedges. If the Group identifies an ineffectiveness of a hedge that goes beyond the risk management objective and the hedging Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s) The additional information and explanations presented on pages 10 - 117 constitute an integral part of these consolidated financial statements 92 relationship continues to implement the risk management strategy and risk management objectives, the Group re-balances the hedging relationship. A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and which might affect profit or loss. A forecast transaction is a transaction that is not based on a concluded binding agreement (expected future transaction).

For cash flow hedges, the Group:
− recognises the effective part of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in the revaluation reserve,
− recognises the gain or loss related to the ineffective part in the current period's financial result.

If a hedge of a forecast transaction results in the recognition of a financial asset or financial liability, the related gains or losses that were recognised in the revaluation reserve are reclassified into profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the asset acquired or liability assumed affects profit or loss. However, if the Group expects that all or a portion of an impairment loss recognised directly in equity will not be recovered in one or more future periods, it reclassifies into profit or loss the amount that is not expected to be recovered. If a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, or a forecast transaction for a non-financial asset or non-financial liability becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied, then the Group reclassifies the associated gains and losses that were recognised directly in the revaluation reserve into the initial purchase cost or another book value in assets or liabilities. If the Group discontinues a cash flow hedge, the cumulative gain or loss on a hedging instrument recognised in the revaluation reserve remains in it until the hedging transaction is exercised. If the hedging transaction will not be exercised (or is not expected to be exercised), cumulative net profit recognised in the revaluation reserve is immediately reclassified into profit or loss.

ENEA Group executed IRS transactions to hedge cash flows against interest rate risk.Their value in accordance with the hedge accounting policy at the end of 2022 was PLN 3 133 291 thousand, down by PLN 861 377 thousand from 2021. This change resulted from settlements related to the expiry of derivative instruments and regular payments for hedged exposure. Maturities are different depending on the derivative, from 24 June 2024 to 16 September 2026. Their balance sheet value as of 31 December 2022 was PLN 252 902 thousand, with 186 075 thousand recognised in other comprehensive income and the ineffective part of the hedge recognised in the 2022 financial result being PLN 22 940 thousand. Bonds issued by ENEA S.A. and credit facilities from EIB are hedged with IRSs.

38. Financial risk management

Financial risk management rules

The Group's activities are subject to the following categories of risk associated with financial instruments:
− credit risk,
− financial liquidity risk,
− commodity risk,
Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)
The additional information and explanations presented on pages 10 - 117 constitute an integral part of these consolidated financial statements 93
− currency risk,
− interest rate risk.

This note contains information on the Group's exposure to each of the aforementioned types of risk and describes the objectives and policies with regard to managing risk and capital. The Parent's Management Board is responsible for setting out the risk management framework and rules. Managing financial risk at the Group is based on a formalised and integrated risk management process, described in dedicated risk management policies, procedures and methodologies. Risk management is designed as a continuous process.# The Group continuously analyses risk in terms of external environmental impact and changes in its structures and activities. Based on this, it takes actions that are intended to limit risk or transfer it outside of the Group. The Company has also analysed the risks associated with climate change and has included broader information on this topic in the Management Report on the operations of ENEA S.A. and ENEA Group in 2022, including within the Statement on non-financial information, which is a separate part of this report. The Company has considered the impact of climate factors on the financial statements and has taken these factors into account in, among other things, the impairment testing of non-financial assets, analysis of the value of jointly controlled companies and calculation of provisions for other liabilities and other charges. The future of the Polish energy market is determined by the European Union's climate policy, and developments in the electricity market in the run up to 2050 will be influenced by the European Green Deal (EGD), which aims to achieve EU climate neutrality by 2050. One of the most important steps towards achieving climate neutrality was the European Council's acceptance in December 2020 of a new binding target for the EU to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. A consequence of the higher CO 2 reduction target is the increasing cost of CO 2 emission allowances, which may negatively affect the Group's results. ENEA Group, as a responsible entity in the energy sector, aims to conduct its business in a sustainable manner while minimising its impact on the environment. Acting in line with the transition of the energy sector in Poland, the Group is taking steps to separate from its structures the assets related to electricity generation in conventional coal units. In addition, it is actively involved in the development of the renewable energy sector and intends to invest in zero-carbon technologies. Within ENEA Group, the Strategy for the Development of ENEA Group until 2030 with a 2040 perspective has been adopted, which will enable an ambitious, responsible and effective transformation of the Group. The environment in which ENEA Group operates is characterised by a high degree of volatility and is dependent on macroeconomic, market and regulatory conditions, and any changes in this area may have a significant impact on the Group's financial position and results.

38.1. Credit risk

Exposure to credit risk

Risk management

Credit risk is risk associated with the Group incurring financial losses as a result of a client or counterparty that is a party to a financial instrument failing to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk is associated with a potential inability to collect receivables from customers.

Key factors having impact on the Group's credit risk:
* a large number of clients, which has an impact on the operational complexity of the risk mitigation process (assessment of counterparties' credit-worthiness) and the high cost of controlling the in-flow and recovery of receivables,
* legal conditions for doing business, which specify rules for shutting down electricity supplies as a result of non-payment or the obligation to connect entities to ENEA Operator's relevant distribution area, as well as the reserve seller or ex-officio vendor functions,
* regulations freezing end-user prices also for the reserve tariff, which may result in the ineffectiveness of the collateral requirement for customers in ENEA's DSO area.

The Management Board implements a credit risk management policy at ENEA Group, pursuant to which exposure to credit risk is monitored on an on-going basis and activities intended to minimise it are undertaken. The key tool for managing credit risk is analysis of the credit-worthiness of the Group's most important customers, pursuant to which contractual terms with the counterparties are appropriately structured (payment terms, potential collateral, etc.).

The following table shows a structure of balance-sheet items depicting the Group's exposure to credit risk:

Credit risk 6 674 772
  • These values correspond to book values.

Credit risk associated with trade receivables

Failure to perform an obligation is understood as the occurrence of at least one of the following events or circumstances:
* debtor is more than 90 days late on a significant payment;
* the Group considers is as unlikely that the debtor will pay off its debt entirely (without taking into account amounts received from collateral or similar actions).

Events that indicate a low likelihood of the obligation being performed include: submission of bankruptcy application by the debtor, instigation of arrangement proceedings for the debtor - as well as other events not directly resulting from legal actions, such as lack of cash or negative forecasts regarding the debtor's payment situation. Meeting one of the aforementioned criteria provides grounds for identifying impairment on a given financial asset due to credit risk.

Despite the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic crisis occurring to some extent in 2022, the Group did not experience any significant deviations in overdue receivables, so that the credit risk situation can be considered stable. In line with internal regulations - the issue of receivables being concentrated in relation to the Group's end customers is also subject to monitoring. The size of the Group's sales portfolio means that despite the fact that there are entities within the portfolio with relatively large consumption, the share of a single entity does not exceed 5% of the entire portfolio's volume, therefore the level of concentration is not seen as significant. In light of the above, the Group does not use additional collateral relating solely to concentration. The use of collateral is dependent each time on the counterparty's financial standing.

Impairment of trade and other receivables:

As at 31 December 2022 As at 31 December 2021
Impairment as of 1 January 128 534 139 595
Created 10 614 19 287
Reversed (5 485) (10 664)
Used (22 390) (19 684)
Impairment as of 31 December 111 273 128 534

Impairment losses are mainly recognised on trade receivables. Impairment of other receivables is negligible.

The Group uses the expected credit loss model to estimate the impairment for trade receivables. In order to determine expected credit losses, the Group applies the simplified approach provided for in IFRS 9, which is to create a lifetime allowance for expected credit losses for all trade receivables. For current trade receivables, expected credit losses are calculated based on historic data in a way that is described in Rules for creating and recording impairment losses on trade receivables and other financial items at ENEA Group companies. In accordance with the Rules, in the year-closing procedure, receivables impairment is determined on the basis of data for 2022. Based on this data, impairment indicators are determined and used to estimate the amount of receivables impairment at the end of 2022. Therefore, the specified expected credit losses take into account objective indications of receivables impairment. The 1-year period adopted for the analysis, given the dynamically changing political and economic situation, gives the most realistic results for the period under study. Analysis in the Company is carried out by individual and business customers. For business customers, a portfolio approach is used as a rule, but an individual approach can be used if the need arises, i.e. if default risk is identified. The receivables portfolio is divided according to the activities carried out by the individual Group companies or the structure of their customers.

Credit risk associated with trade receivables by market segment

Electricity sales and distribution services - retail clients

There is a substantial amount of overdue receivables in this segment - in percentage terms.Although these receivables - given their high dispersion in this general category and a relatively small value of each item - do not pose a major threat to the Group's finances, activities are undertaken to reduce these. Activities intended to streamline the debt recovery process are successively being undertaken and consist of new and updated instructions and rules for debt recovery as well as cooperation with specialised entities. Introducing harmonised debt collection rules, including soft debt recovery, makes it possible to shorten the cash recovery time and avoid long-term and often ineffective hard debt recovery, i.e. court enforcement. Cases that exceed a debt recovery limit are referred for court and enforcement proceedings.

Electricity sales and distribution services - business, key and strategic clients

The amounts of overdue receivables in this segment are much lower (in percentage terms) than in the case of individual customers. Given the above and due to a much smaller number of clients in these segments, debt collection rules are largely based on soft collection. Soft recovery activities are undertaken immediately after the payment deadline passes.

Other

The amounts of overdue receivables are negligible. In the debt collection and recovery process, the Group works with specialised external entities that support it in hard debt collection activities. The Group monitors on an on-going basis the level of over-due receivables, recognises impairment losses and in justified cases raises legal claims.

Credit risk associated with cash and derivative instruments

As regards receivables from financial institutions, including cash deposited in bank accounts and deposits, as well as currency risk and interest risk hedging transactions, the safety for such transactions is governed by "ENEA Group's liquidity and liquidity risk management policy" and "ENEA Group's currency risk and interest risk management policy." ENEA only cooperates with partners meeting strict credit-worthiness criteria and having an established position on the banking market. In accordance with the aforementioned policies and "ENEA Group's credit risk management policy," if a transaction partner has a rating issued by a reputable agency, the Group does not estimate an internal rating for this entity. In selecting banking counterparties, the Group analyses external credit ratings, which override all other criteria for evaluating the security of investments and settlements, and these values must be at investment grade.

Bank Agency Rating
PKO BP Moody’s A2
Pekao Fitch BBB
mBank Fitch BBB-
Santander Fitch BBB+
BGK Fitch A-

As regards financial investments, in order to limit concentration risk, diversification rules for invested cash are applied. In accordance with the aforementioned "ENEA Group's liquidity and liquidity risk management policy," a maximum permissible level of fund allocation to one transaction partner is set. Moreover, allocating excess cash of companies within the cash pooling structure is generally carried out by the parent company, which serves as Pool Leader in the cash pooling mechanism. Companies require ENEA S.A.'s approval to investment free cash on their own. As regards managing current excess cash and as regards currency risk and interest risk hedging instruments, the Group works with six financial institutions on a day-to-day basis.

Credit risk associated with other financial assets

At the level of ENEA S.A., the assessment of significant long-term receivables and debt securities as well as financial guarantees and loan commitments, as well as the monitoring of credit risk and the determination of allowances for expected credit losses are carried out by the Group Risk Management Department, acting in this respect on the basis of ENEA Group's Methodology for determining expected credit losses for non-current debt assets and similar items. In pursuing this objective, individual assessment of each counterparty or specific instruments is carried out, using external credit ratings and, in the absence thereof, using a system of internal credit ratings based on Altman's model for emerging markets and elements of qualitative-forecasting assessment. The Group identifies a deterioration in credit risk if:

  • counterparty is more than 30 days late on a significant payment;
  • a downgrade by at least two notches is observed as of the balance sheet date - for non-investment-grade ratings, identified in accordance with the aforementioned Methodology in the range from BB+ to B- (in comparison with the initial rating for this instrument), or
  • a downgrade by at least one notch is observed as of the balance sheet date - for speculative-grade ratings, identified in accordance with the aforementioned Methodology in the range from CCC to D (in comparison with the initial rating for this instrument), or
  • downgrade from non-investment grade to speculative grade.

Items assigned to investment grade for which there has been no significant payment default for more than 30 days are treated as low credit risk (the counterparty has a high short-term capacity to meet its contractual obligations, and adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may - but do not necessarily - reduce its ability to meet those obligations).

The table below provides a breakdown of the asset categories for which expected credit losses are calculated, by rating level:

38.2. Financial liquidity risk

Exposure to financial liquidity risk

Risk management Financial liquidity risk is perceived as the risk that ENEA Group would have no ability to meet its payment obligations at maturity. The aim of these activities is to reduce the likelihood of financial liquidity risk materialising by optimally using financial resources and available financing instruments. In its business, ENEA Group strives to ensure a stable availability of cash allowing it to meet its payment liabilities on time. Activities addressed in " ENEA Group's liquidity and liquidity risk management policy" also include securing the ability to effectively respond to liquidity crises, i.e. periods of increased demand for cash. As intended, the measures taken should enable the business to continue operating in the event of a liquidity crisis for the period necessary to activate the contingency funding plan.

In the financial liquidity management process, the Group focuses on activities centred around an analysis of cash flows in the short- and long-term, optimisation of working capital components and monitoring the concentration of bank account balances. In order to ensure an appropriate level of security in unpredictable situations, the Group carries out cyclical scenario analyses and develops emergency financing plans intended to ensure the capacity to supplement cash shortages.

The Group centrally manages financial surpluses. Allocating surpluses is mainly done with the use of term deposits. With a view toward limiting concentration risk, investments of excess cash are diversified in terms of financial institutions. The Group works exclusively with renowned institutions having a stable position, as confirmed by ratings not below investment grade. Investment performance is monitored on an on-going basis. Activities related to financial liquidity and liquidity risk management are coordinated by ENEA S.A.

In order to secure funding for on-going operations and optimise the financial surplus management process, ENEA S.A. and ENEA Group companies use cash pooling. ENEA S.A. serves as Pool Leader. Additional instruments for the financing of on-going operations that secure funding for cash pooling system participants are ENEA S.A.'s overdraft facilities. Instruments for the financing of on-going operations also include the Group's central mechanism for raising external funding by ENEA S.A., which is subsequently distributed by ENEA S.A. within the Group. The Group's ongoing risk management in the aforementioned areas, as well as its market and financial position, allows us to conclude that liquidity risk in 2022 was monitored and controlled.

In the course of 2022, the Group recorded a number of events affecting liquidity. They were related to the prevailing geopolitical situation (war in Ukraine) and the resulting sharp changes in the prices of electricity, gaseous fuel and related commodities (in particular CO 2 emission allowances), which resulted in a change in the valuation of the Group's trading position on commodity exchanges and the need to replenish margins on these exchanges. The situation somewhat stabilised towards the end of 2022.Currently, in order to mitigate the level of risk, the Group is actively developing OTC channels to access the CO 2 market and arranging additional current financing to improve its cash position. The Group manages liquidity risk also by maintaining open and unused credit lines, which amounted to PLN 2 613 444 thousand as at 31 December 2022.

38.3. Commodity risk

Exposure to commodity risk

Risk management

Commodity risk is related to potential changes in the Group's revenue/cash flows occurring especially as a result of changes in commodity prices. The objective of commodity risk management is to maintain exposure to this risk at an acceptable level, set by limits, while optimising the return on trading activities. A specific aspect of the Group's commodity risk is the fact that by acting as an energy enterprise operating as ex-officio seller the Group is required to submit electricity price tariffs for approval for the tariff group G and distribution tariffs. The Company purchases energy at market prices, while its tariff is calculated on the basis of costs deemed by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE) as justified and taking into account margins (in trade) planned for the next tariff period. In connection with the above, the Group in the tariff period has a limited ability to transfer adverse changes in costs onto the end recipients of electricity. The Group may file an application to the URE President to amend the tariff only in the event of

Commodity risk management as regards prices consists of continuous monitoring of the size of open trading position (both in terms of hedging the retail sales volume as well as in proprietary trading) and measuring - using tools based on the value at risk concept - the level of risk resulting from possible changes in electricity price in relation to such an open position. The way to reduce risk in this case is to close a position that generates a potential loss that is higher than acceptable (higher than risk appetite). The management model in this case is based on a VaR limit system, which specifies the maximum allowed size of open position that carries the commodity (price) risk. Managing commodity risk in volumetric terms consists of using the scenario method and optimising trading planning and controlling processes that allow to most accurately estimate the expected volumes of electricity and associated commodities that are the subject of trade. Moreover, regardless of the above, ENEA Group uses

a major increase in costs for reasons outside of its control. Management rules specified in the Group's strategic regulations (wholesale trade mode), setting out methods for optimising the Group's trading position, with the main aim to minimise the risk of taking action that is against market trends, while taking into account the effectiveness aspect of such actions (outperforming the market). In 2022, the Group was exposed to an increased level of commodity risk (high price volatility of most commodities and periodically also limited fuel availability) due to the armed conflict in Ukraine. In the past year, an additional operational difficulty related to commodity risk management was the restriction of access channels to the CO 2 market, which affected the liquidity of energy sales contracting by the Group's generation companies. Irrespective of the above, the Group is observing a rising risk of a strategic (long-term) nature in this area, which is related to stricter EU requirements concerning climate protection, translating into considerable growth in the price of CO 2 emission allowances, which in turn affect the profitability of the Group's electricity-generation companies.

38.4. Currency risk

Exposure to currency risk

Risk management

Currency risk is associated with potential changes in exchange rates that may in turn lead to changes in the Group's cash flows. The Group's exposure to currency risk arises in particular from the need to fulfil the obligation to purchase and submit for redemption of CO 2 emission allowances, capital expenditure incurred and the performance of service contracts by counterparties whose remuneration is denominated in foreign currencies. Hedging is performed on the basis of "ENEA Group's currency risk and interest rate risk management policy." Currency risk is mainly hedged using FX forwards. Currency hedges are intended to ensure a fixed value of cash flows in domestic currency that are generated in connection with operating and investing activities. In order to secure maximum effectiveness of hedging, FX forwards are executed for periods and amounts that correspond to currency exposure. This results in an economic link between the underlying items and the hedging derivatives. With a close link between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, the main source of ineffectiveness of such links is improper performance of contracts by counterparties or adjustment of payment deadlines through annexes to contracts with counterparties. In accordance with 'ENEA Group's currency risk and interest rate risk management policy,' hedging is each time based on a currency hedging strategy dedicated to the specific exposure and approved by ENEA Group's Risk Committee. In accordance with its rules, the Group hedges all of its currency exposure that it considers as material, i.e. which exceeds the exposure limit. The Group applies hedge accounting in this area.

FX forwards

In the 12-month period ending 31 December 2022 ENEA S.A. did not execute FX forward transactions. Measurement of this instrument as at 31 December 2022 was PLN 0 (PLN 0 thousand as at 31 December 2021). In 2022, ENEA Trading Sp. z o.o. executed 385 FX Forward transactions worth EUR 1 259 446 thousand . Book-value measurement of these instruments as at 31 December 2022 was PLN 278 818 thousand. In 2021, ENEA Trading Sp. z o.o. executed 343 FX Forward transactions worth EUR 1 002 082 thousand. The book-value measurement of these instruments as at 31 December 2021 was PLN 142 217 thousand. In 2022, ENEA Nowa Energia Sp. z o.o. executed 17 FX Forward transactions worth EUR 3 544 thousand. Measurement of these instruments as at 31 December 2022 was PLN (160) thousand (PLN (12) thousand as at 31 December 2021). In 2022, ENEA Centrum Sp. z o.o. executed 25 FX Forward transactions worth EUR 5 244 thousand. Measurement of this instrument as at 31 December 2022 was PLN (249) thousand (PLN (388) thousand as at 31 December 2021).

38.5. Interest rate risk

Exposure to interest rate risk

Risk management

Interest rate risk is associated with a negative impact of changes in interest rates on ENEA Group's financial situation. Exposure to interest rate risk is related to credit agreements and bond issue program agreements. Given the Group's financing arrangement model, interest rate risk is identified and managed (quantified, mitigated) by the Parent. Financing is arranged based on variable interest, which is calculated in correlation with market (interbank) rates. Interest rate hedging is performed on the basis of "ENEA Group's currency risk and interest rate risk management policy."

In accordance with the aforementioned Policy - exposure to interest rate risk is identified solely on the basis of the liability side of planned cash flows, without taking into account the value of financial investments (which tend to have lower durations than financial liabilities) - although this only applies to non-current financial liabilities.

In view of the process in progress in the Polish financial market to implement a new reference index and eventually replace the currently used WIBOR interest rate reference index, the Group does not identify any risk in this respect. The Group's financial contracts contain provisions for the use of fall-back clauses, meaning that the contracts contain rules for their continuation in the event that a benchmark is not developed. A new interest rate will be set based on these provisions.

In accordance with "ENEA Group's currency risk and interest rate risk management policy," hedging is each time based on an interest rate hedging strategy dedicated to the specific exposure and approved by ENEA Group's Risk Committee. The Group reduces interest rate risk by executing Interest Rate Swaps. The use of hedging instruments makes it possible to exchange a series of coupon payments in the same currency, calculated on an agreed nominal amount and for a specific period, although the Group pays interest based on fixed rates, while the second side of the transaction (bank) pays interest based on variable rates.

In order to maximise the hedge effectiveness, the hedging instrument's parameters are identical to the terms of the transaction being hedged (i.e. the underlying position). This eventually leads to an economic link forming between payments resulting from servicing external financing and the derivatives used to hedge them. With a close link between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, the main source of ineffectiveness of such links is improper performance of contracts by counterparties (based on which hedging transactions are executed) or earlier settlement of the hedged item.

As at 31 December 2022, the Group had credit and bond liabilities of PLN 4,837,580 thousand. The aforementioned debt is hedged in 64.8% using IRSs (60.2% as of 31 December 2021).

The following table shows the Group's sensitivity to changes in interest rates by presenting financial assets and liabilities by variable-rate and fixed-rate:

Impact of IRS hedge 3,133,291 3,994,668
Total 375,808 (976,151)

Fixed-rate financial assets mainly include cash in deposits, trade receivables that are based on a fixed rate of penalty interest only in the case of overdue payment, and assets arising from contracts with customers.

Interest rate swaps

In the 12-month period ending 31 December 2022 ENEA S.A. did not execute interest rate swaps. The total bond and credit exposure hedged with IRSs as at 31 December 2022 amounted to PLN 3,133,291 thousand. Moreover, ENEA S.A. has fixed-rate credit agreements totalling PLN 426,113 thousand. These transactions have material impact on the predictability of expense flows and finance costs. The Group presents the measurement of these instruments in the item: Financial assets measured at fair value. Derivative instruments are treated as cash flow hedges, which is why they are recognised and accounted for using hedge accounting rules.

As at 31 December 2022, financial assets at fair value concerning IRSs amounted to PLN 252,902 thousand (31 December 2021: PLN 135,150 thousand). Multiple decisions by the Monetary Policy Council raising interest rates had a material impact on this amount.

104 Transactions with State Treasury related parties

The Group also executes commercial transactions with state and local administration units and entities owned by Poland's State Treasury. The subject of these transactions mainly is as follows:

  • purchases of coal, electricity, property rights resulting from energy origin certificates as regards renewable energy and energy produced in cogeneration with heat, transmission and distribution services that the Group provides to the State Treasury's subsidiaries,
  • sale of electricity, distribution services, connection to the grid and other associated fees, as well as coal, that the Group provides for both state and local administration authorities (sale to end customers) and to the State Treasury's subsidiaries (wholesale and retail sale - to end customers).

These transactions are executed on market terms, and these terms do not differ from the terms applied in transactions with other entities. The Group does not keep records that would make it possible to aggregate the amounts of all transactions executed with all state institutions and the State Treasury's subsidiaries.

In addition, the Group identified financial transactions with State Treasury's related parties, i.e. with banks serving as guarantors for bond issue programs. These entities include: PKO BP S.A., Pekao S.A. and Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego. Detailed information on bond issue programs is presented in note 30.

Among State Treasury subsidiaries ENEA Group's largest counterparty-customer is Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne, with net sales in 2022 reaching PLN 1 894 283 thousand (2021: also PSE, with sales of PLN 1 340 737 thousand), the largest supplier-counterparty is also Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne, with net purchases of PLN 2 534 055 thousand (2021: also PSE - purchases of PLN 1 894 781 thousand). Revenue from PSE includes carried charges that are not visible in the statement of comprehensive income (the Group is an intermediary for them).

41. Concession agreements for provision of public services

The Group's activities largely focus on electricity generation, distribution and trade as well as the production and sale of coal. In accordance with the Energy Law, the URE President is responsible for concessions, regulation of energy enterprises and approval of tariffs.

Subject to approval by the URE President are tariffs for electricity that cover activities which are not considered by the URE President as conducted under competitive conditions (in reference to which the URE President has not issued a decision exempting from the obligation to submit tariffs for approval). Tariffs for natural gas for households and sensitive customers (such as: housing communities and cooperatives, entities carrying out public benefit activities: schools, kindergartens, hospitals) are also subject to submission to the President of URE for approval.

The catalogue of entities covered by tariff protection was extended by the Act of 26 January 2022 on special solutions for the protection of gas fuel consumers in connection with the gas market situation. The Act introduced specific shielding arrangements that allowed measures to be taken to minimise the negative socio-economic impacts associated with a sudden, sharp increase in the price of natural gas on the market in 2022. Tariffs for gaseous fuel for households and sensitive customers are subject to approval by the President of the URE until 31 December 2027.

In 2022, ENEA S.A. applied the following URE President-approved tariffs:

  • "Tariff for electricity for tariff group G customers" in effect from 1 January 2022 and "Change in tariff for electricity for tariff group G customers" in effect from 2 March 2022;
  • "Tariff for high-methane natural gas," in effect from 25 January 2022, and "Tariff for high-methane natural gas," in effect from 19 August 2022.

On 17 December 2022, the President of the Energy Regulatory Office decided to approve the tariff for electricity for customers in tariff group G for the period to 31 December 2023. This tariff entered into force on 1 January 2023. On 3 January 2023, the Company submitted an application to the President of URE for approval of a change in the tariff for electricity for customers in tariff group G for 2023. The proposed change results from higher energy procurement costs than those applied in the existing tariff.Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)

The value of other guarantees issued by the Group as at 31 December 2022 was PLN 11,891 thousand (PLN 13,963 thousand as at 31 December 2021).

43.2. On-going proceedings in courts of general competence

Proceedings initiated by the Group

Proceedings in courts of general competence initiated by ENEA S.A. and ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. concern receivables related to electricity supplies (electricity cases) and receivables related to other matters - illegal uptake of electricity, grid connections and other specialised services (non-electricity cases). Proceedings in courts of general competences initiated by ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. mainly concern compensation for damages and contractual penalties from the company's counterparties.

At 31 December 2022, a total of 21,839 cases initiated by the Group were in progress before courts of general competence, worth in aggregate PLN 148,677 thousand (31 December 2021: 18,569 cases worth PLN 161,383 thousand). The outcome of individual cases is not significant from the viewpoint of the Group's financial result.

Proceedings against the Group

Proceedings against the Group are initiated by both natural persons and legal entities. They concern issues such as: compensation for electricity supply disruptions, illegal uptake of electricity and compensation for the Group's use of

properties on which power equipment is located. The Group considers cases related to non-contractual use of properties that are not owned by the Group as especially significant. There are also claims concerning terminated agreements for the purchase of property rights (note 43.6). Court proceedings against ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. concern compensation for damages and contractual penalties.

At 31 December 2022, a total of 2,338 cases against the Group were in progress before courts of general competence, worth in aggregate PLN 968,992 thousand (31 December 2021: 3,563 cases worth PLN 1,226,938 thousand). The outcome of individual cases is not significant from the viewpoint of the Group's financial result. Provisions related to these court cases are presented in note 33.

43.3. Other court proceedings

Proceedings on-going before public administration courts involving Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. mainly concern disputes with local government units regarding property tax. This stems from the fact that in preparing property tax declarations LWB (like other mining companies in Poland) did not take into account the value of underground mining excavations or the value of equipment located therein. These cases concern refunds of overpayments and the way in which property tax base is calculated. In order to protect the Group from any potential consequences in the form of late interest on property tax - provided that the municipalities' decisions that include equipment and support structures located inside mining excavations are eventually upheld - LWB in mid-2019 decided to include the value of underground excavations and equipment in calculations regarding this tax (given the majority of case law involving tax on elements of mining excavations). There are currently no proceedings pending before public administration courts in this case. Accordingly, the Group does not identify any payment risk and does not recognise any provision for this at the balance sheet date.

43.4. Risk associated with legal status of properties used by the Group

Risk associated with the legal status of properties used by the Group results from the fact that the Group does not have a legal title to use land for all of its facilities where its transmission grids and the associated equipment are located. In the future, the Group may be liable to pay compensation for past non-contractual use of the property. Rulings in these cases are significant because they have a considerable impact on the Group's approach to people raising pre-trial claims concerning equipment located on their properties in the past as well as the way in which the legal status of such equipment is addressed in the case of new investments. The loss of assets in this case is highly unlikely. Having an unclear legal status for properties where power equipment is located does not constitute a risk for the Group of losing such assets, rather it gives rise to the threat of additional costs related to demands for compensation for the non-contractual use of land, rent, costs related to transmission easements and, exceptionally, in individual cases, demands related to a change in the object's location (return of land to original condition). The Group recognises adequate provisions. The provision also applies to compensation for the non-contractual use by the Group of properties on which the Group's grid assets (power lines) are located, in connection with transmission corridors or transmission easements being established for the Group. The main parameter used in the calculation is the length of the line and thus the conversion of the area of land occupation by the line by the value of PLN/m², with due consideration of other parameters such as location, type of line, type of land. As at 31 December 2022, the Group recognised a provision for claims concerning non-contractual use of land amounting to PLN 193,353 thousand.

43.5. Cases concerning 2012 non-balancing

On 30 and 31 December 2014, ENEA S.A. submitted demands for settlement to:

Demanded amount in PLN 000s
PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A.
PKP Energetyka S.A.
TAURON Polska Energia S.A.
TAURON Sprzedaż GZE Sp. z o.o.
Total

The subject of these demands is claims for the payment for electricity that was incorrectly settled on the balancing market in 2012. The companies receiving these demands obtained unjustified proceeds by not allowing ENEA S.A. to issue invoices for 2012.# Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)

Given a lack of an amicable resolution in this case, ENEA S.A. brought lawsuits against:

  • TAURON Polska Energia S.A. – lawsuit of 10 December 2015,
  • TAURON Sprzedaż GZE Sp. z o.o. – lawsuit of 10 December 2015,
  • PKP Energetyka S.A. – lawsuit of 28 December 2015,
  • PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A. – lawsuit of 29 December 2015.

In the case ENEA S.A. vs. Tauron Polska Energia and others (file no. XIII GC 600/15/AM), on 23 March 2021 the District Court in Katowice dismissed the claim in its entirety and awarded the costs of proceedings in favour of the defendant and the co-defendants. The ruling along with justification in writing was delivered on 20 May 2021. On 10 June 2021, ENEA S.A. lodged an appeal to the Appeals Court in Katowice.

In the case ENEA S.A. vs. TAURON Sprzedaż GZE Sp. z o.o. (file no. X GC 546/15), on 21 December 2021 the District Court in Gliwice dismissed the claim in its entirety and awarded the costs of proceedings in favour of the defendant. The ruling along with a justification in writing was delivered on 3 March 2022. On 17 March 2022 ENEA S.A. lodged an appeal to the Appeals Court in Katowice.

The case ENEA S.A. versus PKP Energetyka S.A. (file no. XX GC 1166) is still being examined by the District Court in Warsaw in the first instance.

In a case against PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A. (file no. XVI GC 525/20, previous file no. XX GC 1163/15) - through a ruling of 7 January 2021 the court suspended the proceeding at the mutual request of the parties. Through a ruling of 19 November 2021, the court resumed the previously suspended proceeding. Through a ruling of 1 March 2022, the court suspended the proceeding at the mutual request of the parties. Through a motion of 28 August 2022, ENEA S.A.'s attorney requested that the proceeding be resumed. The court resumed the proceeding on 2 October 2022. On 28 October 2022, the attorney of ENEA S.A. requested a stay of proceedings. The parties agreed to enter into an agreement to end the dispute.

No amounts concerning the above cases were recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position.

43.6. Dispute concerning prices for origin certificates for energy from renewable sources and terminated agreements for the purchase of property rights arising under origin certificates for energy from renewable sources

ENEA S.A. is a party to 4 court proceedings concerning agreements for the purchase of property rights arising under certificates of origin for energy from renewable sources, which includes:

  • 3 proceedings for payment in which claims for remuneration, contractual penalties or damages are pursued against ENEA S.A., with one proceeding resulting in a partial resolution of the claims, and the other proceeding resulting in a preliminary and partial resolution of the claims and recognition of the ineffectiveness of the termination of the agreement; these resolutions are final and binding;
  • 1 proceeding to determine the ineffectiveness of ENEA S.A.'s termination of property rights sale agreements made on 28 October 2016;

ENEA S.A. offset a part of receivables due for these counterparties from ENEA S.A. for sold property rights with damages-related receivables due for ENEA S.A. from renewables producers. The damage caused to ENEA S.A. arose as a result of the counterparties' failure to fulfil a contractual obligation to participate, in good faith, in re-negotiating long-term agreements for the sale of property rights in accordance with an adaptation clause that is binding for the parties.

On 28 October 2016, ENEA S.A. submitted statements depending on the agreement: on termination or withdrawal from long-term agreements for the purchase by the Company of property rights resulting from certificates of origin for energy from renewable sources (green certificates) (Agreements). The Agreements were executed in 2006-2014 with the following counterparties, which own renewable generation assets ("Counterparties"):

  • Farma Wiatrowa Krzęcin Sp. z o.o., based in Warsaw;
  • Megawind Polska Sp. z o.o., based in Szczecin;
  • PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka Konwencjonalna S.A., based in Bełchatów (currently PGE Energia Ciepła S.A.);
  • PGE Energia Odnawialna S.A., based in Warsaw;
  • PGE Energia Natury PEW Sp. z o.o., based in Warsaw (currently PGE Energia Odnawialna S.A., based in Warsaw);
  • "PSW" Sp. z o.o., based in Warsaw;
  • in.ventus Sp. z o.o. EW Śniatowo Sp. k., based in Poznań (currently TEC1 Sp. z o.o. EW Śniatowo Sp. k., based in Katowice);
  • Golice Wind Farm Sp. z o.o., based in Warsaw.

As a result of the terminations submitted by ENEA S.A., the contracts were terminated, according to ENEA S.A.'s assessment, in principle at the end of November 2016. The dates on which the respective Contracts were terminated depended on contractual provisions.

The reason for terminating/withdrawing from each of the Agreements by the Company was failure to engage in re-negotiations concerning adaptive clauses in each of the Agreements that would justify the adjustment of these Agreements in order to restore contractual balance and the equivalence of the parties' benefits following changes in the law. Legal changes that occurred after the aforementioned Agreements were executed include in particular:

  • ordinance of the Minister of Economy of 18 October 2012 on a detailed scope of obligations to obtain and present for redemption origin certificates, pay substitute fees, purchase electricity and industrial heat generated from renewable sources and the obligation to validate data concerning the quantity of electricity generated from renewable sources (Polish Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1229);
  • Act on renewable energy sources of 20 February 2015 (Polish Journal of Laws of 2015, item 478) and associated further legal changes and announced drafts of legal changes, including especially:
    • the Act on amendment of the act on renewable energy sources and certain other acts dated 22 June 2016 (Polish Journal of Laws of 2016, item 925); and
  • a draft of the Ordinance of the Minister of Energy concerning changes in the share of electricity resulting from redeemed origin certificates confirming production of electricity from renewable sources, which is to be issued based on an authorisation under art. 12 sec. 5 of the Act on amendment of the act on renewable energy sources and certain other acts dated 22 June 2016 and certain other acts,

caused an objective lack of possibilities to develop reliable models to forecast the prices of green certificates.

The Agreements were terminated with the intention for the Company to avoid losses constituting the difference between contractual and market prices of green certificates. Due to the changing legal conditions after termination of the Agreements in 2017, especially arising from the Act of 20 July 2017 on amendment of the act on renewable energy sources, the estimated value of future contract liabilities would have changed. In the current legal framework, this would be significantly lower in comparison to the amount estimated when the Agreements were being terminated, i.e. approx. PLN 1 187 million. This decline reflects a change in the way in which the substitute fee is calculated, which in accordance with the content of some of the Agreements constitutes the basis for calculating the contract price and indexing it to the market price.

ENEA S.A. recognised a provision for court cases, including those related to the termination by ENEA S.A. of contracts for the sale of property rights arising from certificates of origin of electricity from RES, in the amount of PLN 79 045 thousand, which mainly relates to disputes in the area of the PM OZE certificates and covers all monetary claims on this account as at 31 December 2022. The provision is presented in note 33.

On 21 February 2022 the Appeals Court in Poznań issued a judgement and determined that the statement made by ENEA S.A. in Poznań in its letter of 28 October 2016 on termination of the sale agreement in its entirety did not have legal effect and the agreement remains in force in its entirety, dismissing the appeal of Golice Wind Farm Sp. z o.o. to the remaining extent and dismissing the appeal of ENEA S.A., as well as awarding the costs of the appeal proceedings to Golice Wind Farm Sp. z o.o. from ENEA S.A., as a result of which the partial and preliminary ruling of the District Court in Poznań of 14 August 2020 became binding, in which the court had considered as justified the claim for payment for property rights and had ordered ENEA S.A. to pay PLN 6 042 thousand together with interest, and in the remaining scope had considered the claim for payment as justified in general. On 25 July 2022 ENEA S.A. filed a cassation appeal against the ruling by the Appeals Court in Poznań, at the same time requesting that the enforceability of the aforementioned judgements be suspended. Through a ruling of 3 October 2022 the Appeals Court in Poznań rejected the request to suspend the enforceability of these judgements. The cassation appeal went to the Supreme Court, no date was set for the hearing.

In cases brought by PGE Group companies, i.e.:

  • PGE Energia Odnawialna S.A., based in Warsaw (case no. IX GC 1064/17) - through a ruling of 17 February 2022, the court resumed the previously suspended proceeding, which was subsequently suspended again by a decision of 25 March 2022 on the mutual application of the parties.## 44.

45. Letter of intent regarding Lubelski Węgiel BOGDANKA S.A.

On 18 June 2022 the Management Board of ENEA S.A. signed a letter of intent with the State Treasury regarding the potential acquisition by the State Treasury of 21 962 189 shares in Lubelski Węgiel BOGDANKA S.A. (LWB), constituting 64.57% of shares in LWB's capital (Transaction). The Company and the State Treasury have undertaken to conduct in good faith any activities necessary to prepare and carry out the Transaction, consisting in the purchase by the State Treasury of all 21 962 189 LWB shares held by ENEA S.A.# The letter of intent is in effect until 31 December 2023.

46. Tax group

On 11 December 2019 the Director of the 1st Wielkopolskie Tax Authority in Poznań registered an agreement concerning the formation of a tax group for a period of three tax years from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2022. The agreement was executed in the form of a notarial deed on 12 November 2019 between 11 ENEA Group companies, including: ENEA S.A., ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o., ENEA Centrum Sp. z o.o., ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o., ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec S.A. The tax group is represented by ENEA S.A. The Act on corporate income tax treats a tax group as a separate payer of corporate income tax (CIT), meaning that companies within a tax group are not treated as separate entities for CIT purposes, while the tax group is treated as a whole. Subject to tax is income of the entire group, calculated as the excess of the sum of income all of the companies within the group over their losses. The tax group is a separate entity only for CIT purposes. It is not a separate entity in a legal sense. It also does not apply to other taxes, especially each of the companies within the tax group is a separate payer of VAT, tax on civil-law transactions, property tax and payer of personal income tax. Companies forming a tax equity group must meet a number of requirements, including but not limited to: an appropriate level of capital, the parent company's share in the capital of the companies forming the tax group at a minimum of 75%, the absence of tax arrears and the conclusion of transactions only on an arm's length basis. Failing to meet these requirements would mean a dissolution for the tax group and loss of taxpayer status. From dissolution, each company within the tax group would become a separate CIT payer.

On 14 December 2022, the Director of the 1st Mazowiecki Tax Authority in Warsaw registered an agreement concerning the formation of a tax group for a period of three tax years from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2025. The agreement was executed in the form of a notarial deed on 14 November 2022 between 4 ENEA Group companies: ENEA S.A., ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o., ENEA Centrum Sp. z o.o., ENEA Power & Gas Trading Sp. z o.o. The remaining Group companies became individual CIT taxpayers on 1 January 2023.

47. Sale of shares in Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A.

A conditional agreement for the sale of shares in Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A. was signed on 3 August 2022 ("Conditional Sale Agreement"). The selling parties in the Conditional Sale Agreement are as follows: ENEA S.A., ECARB Sp. z o.o., PGNiG Termika S.A., PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka Konwencjonalna S.A., Polski Fundusz Rozwoju S.A., Towarzystwo Finansowe Silesia Sp. z o.o. oraz Węglokoks S.A., and the buyer is the State Treasury of Poland ("State Treasury"). Pursuant to the Conditional Sale Agreement, the Company will sell to the State Treasury all of its shares in Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A. ("PGG"), i.e. 3 000 000 ordinary registered shares, constituting 7.66% of PGG's share capital, for a total price of PLN 1.00 for all of the shares. The balance sheet value of the stake in PGG at the time of sale was PLN zero. The transfer of ownership of PGG shares to the State Treasury will take place on the condition that the National Agricultural Support Centre ("KOWR") does not exercise its pre-emptive right. The condition precedent was met on 5 October 2022 - KOWR did not exercise its pre-emptive right. ENEA S.A. sold all of its shares in PGG to the State Treasury on 25 October 2022, i.e. 3 000 000 ordinary registered shares (constituting 7.66% of PGG's share capital).

48. National Energy Security Agency

On 1 March 2022 the Council of Ministers adopted a document entitled "Energy sector transition in Poland. Spin-off of coal assets from companies with a State Treasury shareholding" ("Transition Program"). The document was drafted in order to align the energy groups with the transition challenges that are consistent with the directions indicated in "Poland's Energy Policy to 2040" (PEP2040). The Transition Program contains a concept for the spin-off of assets related to the generation of electricity in conventional coal units ("Coal Assets") from the energy companies. The Transition Program includes, inter alia, the integration of these Coal Assets within one entity, i.e. PGE Górnictwo i Energetyka Konwencjonalna S.A. ("PGE GiEK") - a subsidiary of PGE Polska Grupa Energetyczna S.A., which will eventually operate under the name National Energy Security Agency ("NABE"). NABE's role will be to ensure energy security through a stable supply of energy generated from coal. The spin-off of coal assets will allow the energy groups to focus on accelerating investment in low- and zero-carbon energy sources and transmission infrastructure.

Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)

The additional information and explanations presented on pages 10 - 117 constitute an integral part of these consolidated financial statements

In 2022, the Group carried out tasks related to the carve out of coal assets for the State Treasury in accordance with the update schedule for the formation of NABE. Work continued in 2022 by the strategic advisor acting on behalf of PGE, ENEA, TAURON and PGE GiEK, including advice in the area of strategy, financial model, transaction structuring, development of an operating model and advice on concentration and notification of potential state aid. Also, in line with market practice, vendor due diligence ("VDD") was carried out, which involves commissioning an independent third-party inspection. VDD covered three key areas: legal, tax and financial, technical and environmental. In order to ensure the continuation of the companies being spun-off once they are integrated into the NABE structure, negotiations were undertaken with financial institutions in this area.

In 2022, the Group worked on internal ownership changes and reorganisation changes. One such action is the division of ENEA Trading Sp. z o.o. (pursuant to art. 529 § 1 point 4) of the Commercial Companies Code), as a result of which, in accordance with the Spin-off Plan of ENEA Trading Sp. z o.o. of 29 July 2022, there will be a division by spin-off and transfer of a part of the assets and liabilities of ENEA Trading Sp. z o.o., in the form of an Organised Part of Enterprise, to ENEA Power&Gas Trading Sp. z o.o.

In connection with the on-going energy transition process, trade union organisations requested the conclusion of a social agreement for the electricity sector, especially in the area of the status of the employer, employment guarantees after the process of separating coal assets from state-owned companies, working conditions and wages. On 22 December 2022, the 'Social Agreement on Transition in the Electricity Sector and Lignite Mining Industry, including the Spin-off of Generation and Mining Coal Assets from State Owned Companies' was signed between the Government, the Employers (energy groups) and the Trade Unions.

49. Political and economic situation in Ukraine

Russian troops attacked Ukraine on 24 February 2022, thus beginning a large-scale conflict. This event continues to have a major impact on the social, political and economic situation, not only in the region, but also globally. The Group is continually analysing the impact of the political and economic situation in Ukraine on the financial statements and the current and future financial and operating results of the Group.

In commodity and financial markets, there is high volatility in the prices of commodities and financial instruments. Considerable volatility in the prices of electricity and emission allowances (EUAs) is resulting in the need for margining on IRGIT and on foreign markets (The ICE, EEX) that organise trading in greenhouse gas emission allowances, thereby increasing the need for working capital. In connection with the introduction of the alert degree CHARLIE-CRP throughout the country, undertakings described in the regulation of the Prime Minister of 25 July 2016 on the scope of undertakings carried out in individual alert degrees and CRP alert degrees have been implemented in Group companies. Restrictions on access to IT systems as a result of the maintenance of the CHARLIE-CRP alert level may cause delays to IT projects and deployments.

Mining segment - LW Bogdanka S.A.'s recently developed hard coal export sales, the vast majority of which were made to Ukraine, accounted for approx. 3.1% of LWB Group's consolidated revenue from sales in 2022. The sale of coal to Ukraine is made much more difficult due to this armed conflict. Owing to the high demand for thermal coal, LWB Group redirected coal (originally destined for the Ukrainian market) to domestic needs.

As of 16 April 2022, the Act of 13 April 2022 on special solutions to prevent support for aggression against Ukraine and to protect national security is in force. Under art. 8 of this Act, in view of the threat to national security, the introduction into the territory of the Republic of Poland, as well as the movement between two countries through the territory of the Republic of Poland, of coal originating from Russia and Belarus was prohibited. The Act further, based on the provisions of art. 13, imposes an obligation on entities bringing coal into the territory of the Republic of Poland (including domestic mines) to have documentation indicating the country of origin of the coal and to issue statements to coal buyers indicating the country of origin of the coal. This act has a direct impact on further increasing demand for domestically produced coal. Taking the above into account and observing the developments to date, this event did not have a significant impact on the operations and financial results of the Mining segment in 2022 and is not expected to have such an impact in the short term.Nonetheless, in the long run such an impact may take place. Trade segment - this situation caused an increase in the prices of gaseous fuel as well as electricity in the current year (the need to purchase for balancing purposes) and prices for customers (in terms of customers who have not purchased energy with a guaranteed "fixed" price). Generation segment – possible need for intervention support in the electricity balance, and consequently higher electricity production by conventional generation sources. The Group does not currently identify any direct impact of the war in Ukraine on hard coal deliveries to ENEA Group's generating units. However, due to the high demand for thermal coal (lower production in Poland and difficulties in imports), the Group takes into account the possibility of difficulties in this regard. The Group identifies constraints in the supply of biomass in the form of sunflower husk pellets from Ukraine. Suppliers report reduced quantities of biomass available for sale in Ukraine and logistical problems associated with exporting biomass from Ukrainian territory, as well as with the transport of biomass across the territory of Ukraine (e.g. from Moldova). With regard to agricultural biomass from 1 January 2023 - following the end of derogation - the provisions of the RES Act regarding the required mass share of agricultural biomass apply, which has an impact on the demand side.

Consolidated financial statements in compliance with EU IFRS for the financial year ended 31 December 2022 (in PLN 000s)
The additional information and explanations presented on pages 10 - 117 constitute an integral part of these consolidated financial statements 116

In view of the end of supply from Belarus after 4 June 2022 due to the validity of Council Regulation (EU) 2022/355 of 2 March 2022 amending Regulation (EC) no. 765/2006 concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Belarus, supply shortages in the domestic wood/forest biomass market are identified, resulting in continued high prices of biomass. For the purpose of electricity production in units 2-7 of ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec S.A. there is a possibility to replace biomass with coal. The production of heat at the biomass-fired cogeneration unit of ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. may be partially replaced with coal-based production at the remaining generating units of ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. In the Generation segment, difficulties in sourcing high-alloy steels and non-ferrous metals produced in Ukraine are identified and further moderate price increases in the above-mentioned assortment are expected in the near future. However, this does not affect the continuity of operation of ENEA Group's generating units. In the Distribution segment, the Group does not currently identify any negative impact of the political and economic situation in Ukraine on the segment's operations and financial results. At the date on which these consolidated financial statements were prepared, it is not possible to predict how the situation concerning the armed conflict in Ukraine will develop and what the potential negative effects for the Parent's and the Group's operating and financing activities will be in the future. At the date on which these separate financial statements were prepared, the Group sees no going-concern risk.

50. Update of LWB's production plan

On 14 September 2022 The Management Board of Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. became aware of updated production assumptions for 2022 and decided to make them public. In longwall 3/VII/385, which was put into operation on 31 August 2022, there was a sudden and unexpected increase in mining pressure, resulting in the longwall clamping, resulting in the cessation of coal extraction. The longwall saw a progress of 55 running metres and there were no problems with the uplift of the pit and the progress achieved was as expected at this stage of mining. The longwall was continuously monitored by a pressure control system in the supports of the mechanised roofbolt sections. LWB immediately took action to free up the clamped sections and resume extraction. Given the scale of this impediment, these activities are complex in technical and organisational terms. As a result of the emergence of sudden and unforeseeable impediments to mining, which objectively could be neither prevented nor counteracted, LWB decided to update its 2022 production plan, as announced in current report 18/2022 of 2 September 2022, setting it at approx. 8.3mt of commercial-grade coal. Thanks to the effort made, the plan was exceeded and production was eventually achieved at 8.4mt of commercial coal. At the same time, in connection with the aforementioned event, LWB adopted a plan for 2023 at approx. 8.3mt of commercial-grade coal.

51. Contributions to Price Difference Payment Fund

Group companies are required to contribute to the Price Difference Payment Fund pursuant to art. 21 of the Act of 27 October 2022 on emergency measures aimed at limiting the level of electricity prices and support for certain consumers in 2023 (Polish Journal of Laws of 2022, item 2243) - as electricity generators and as energy enterprises carrying out electricity trading. In accordance with art. 24 and art. 39 of the above act, these contributions should be made for each calendar month in reference to the period from 1 December 2022 to 31 December 2023. For the month of December 2022, ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec S.A. was required to make a contribution related to electricity trading amounting to PLN 1 236 thousand, ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. PLN 709 thousand for trading and PLN 3 944 thousand for generation, ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. PLN 403 thousand for trading and PLN 7 551 thousand for generation, ENEA Nowa Energia Sp. z o.o. PLN 1 400 thousand for generation and ENEA Trading Sp. z o.o. PLN 120 thousand for trading. These amounts are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income under "Taxes and charges." The Group considers these contributions as charges in the meaning of IAS 37. They are charged in the month in which the obligation arises.

52. Events after the reporting period

An Extraordinary General Meeting of ENEA Połaniec Serwis Sp. z o.o. (acquired company) was held on 3 January 2023, adopting a resolution to merge with ENEA Elektrownia Połaniec S.A. (acquiring company). The merger is being carried out in a simplified manner, i.e. pursuant to art. 516 of the Polish Commercial Companies Code. The merger was registered in the National Court Register on 16 January 2023.

On 27 January 2023, ENEA S.A. signed a financing agreement with a syndicate of banks consisting of: Polska Kasa Oszczędności Bank Polski S.A., Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, Bank Polska Kasa Opieki S.A., Alior Bank S.A. and Bank of China (Europe) S.A., branch in Poland. The Company raised financing totalling up to PLN 2 500 000 thousand, including a term loan of up to PLN 1 500 000 thousand ("Loan A") and a revolving renewable loan of up to PLN 1 000 000 thousand ("Loan B"). The maturity period is 5 years, with an option to roll over for a further 2 years. This is a financing agreement linked to sustainable development. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may use the funds made available

under Loan A to finance and refinance ENEA Group's capital expenditure incurred in connection with the construction, expansion, modernisation or maintenance of the distribution network and the acquisition, development, expansion, financing, construction, modernisation, maintenance or commissioning of any renewable energy sources. Loan B may be used by the Company to finance the day-to-day operations and working capital of ENEA Group, excluding: the financing of the construction, acquisition and expansion of hard coal-fired power plants, as well as other activities related to hard coal, including: hard coal mining, hard coal trading and the refinancing of any financial indebtedness or expenditure incurred for such purpose. Following the Company's fulfilment of all conditions precedent, Loan A and Loan B were disbursed on 3 February 2023. The financing is based on a variable interest rate, plus a margin (conditional on the level of the net debt/EBITDA ratio). In addition, the interest rate for Loan A depends on sustainability indicators, i.e. the CO 2 reduction rate and the rate of increasing the share of renewable energy sources in the generation structure of ENEA Group.

Pursuant to the Act of 7 October 2022 on special solutions for the protection of electricity consumers in 2023 in connection with the situation on the electricity market, ENEA S.A. will receive in 2023 compensation for the use, in settlements with authorised customers, of the electricity prices referred to in art. 3 sec. 1, art. 4 sec. 1, art. 5 sec. 1 and art. 6 sec. 1 of this act. In accordance with art. 14 of the aforementioned act, the Company filed applications for advance payments for January and February 2023. Advances for Compensation were paid in January 2023 in the amount of PLN 247 121 thousand and February 2023 in the amount of PLN 216 003 thousand. Pursuant to this Act, ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. will receive compensation for the use, in settlements with authorised customers, of the electricity prices referred to in art. 7 sec. 1 of the Act. The compensation constitutes the difference between the charges billed for electricity distribution services resulting from the 2023 tariff rates for electricity distribution services and the charges billed for electricity distribution services resulting from the 2022 tariff rates for electricity distribution services, up to the maximum limit referred to in the Act. ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o.received in January 2023 an advance payment for this compensation of PLN 59 108 thousand and in February 2023 in the amount of PLN 54 210 thousand. On 13 February 2023, the URE President approved a change in the tariff for the electricity distribution service for ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. for 2023. The decision of the URE President was published in the URE Industry Bulletin - Electricity No. 111 (3928) of 13 February 2023. Pursuant to Resolution No. 80/2023 of the Management Board of ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o. of 16 February 2023, the tariff change is effective from 1 January 2023. In February 2023, at LWB, after the necessary measures had been taken to free previously clamped sections to enable the resumption of mining, an incident occurred during the trial start-up of longwall 3/VII/385, consisting of a sudden and unexpected outpouring of groundwater into the underground workings, as a result of which mining on this longwall had to be stopped. At the moment, advanced hydrogeological analyses are being performed and independent expert studies are being commissioned to develop the best course of action and to identify the risks associated with further mining and technical work in this area. In the Company's view, longwall 3/VII/385 is still prospective and further mining is possible in the future. The exact magnitude of this event and its impact on operational and financial performance is still unknown, however, in the Company's assessment, the production plan set for 2023 is unthreatened. LWB continues to operate the longwalls in the Bogdanka Field and Nadrybie Field at full capacity, while more longwalls are planned to be commissioned in the Stefanów Field.
