AUDITOR'S REPORT ON THE REVIEW OF THE HALF-YEAR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY 2016 TO 30 JUNE 2016

To the Shareholders and Supervisory Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Capital Group

We have reviewed the attached half-year condensed consolidated financial statements of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Capital Group with KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., as the Parent Company, a half-year consolidated statement of profit or loss for the period from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016, half-year consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016, half-year consolidated statement of cash flows for the period from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016, half-year consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2016, half-year consolidated statement of changes in equity as at 30 June 2016 and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Compliance of these half-year condensed consolidated financial statements with the requirements laid down in IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as endorsed by the European Union ("MSR 34") and with other regulations in force is the responsibility of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of the Parent Company. Our responsibility was to review the financial statements.

Our review has been conducted in accordance with the national auditing standards issued by the National Council of Statutory Auditors. These Standards require that we plan and conduct the review in such a way as to obtain reasonable assurance that the half-year condensed consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

Our review has been conducted mainly based on an analysis of data included in the financial statements, examination of the accounting records as well as information provided by the management and the financial and accounting personnel of the Group.

The scope and methodology of a review of half-year condensed consolidated financial statements differ significantly from an audit, which serves as the basis for expressing an opinion on compliance of annual consolidated financial statements with the applicable accounting principles (policy) and an opinion on their fairness and clarity. Therefore, no such opinion on the attached financial statements may be issued.

Based on our review, we have not identified any issues which would prevent us from concluding that the half-year condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the requirements laid down in IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as endorsed by the European Union.

Note 1.5 Analysis of assumptions adopted for testing as at 31 December 2015

In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, the Management Board of the Parent Entity conducted an analysis of eventual changes in key assumptions adopted for impairment testing of assets, conducted as at 31 December 2015, and their impact on the recoverable amount of assets as at the reporting date.

The analysis concerned the following issues:

Issue Description
Market capitalisation of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. In the first half of 2016, the market capitalisation of KGHM Polska
Miedź S.A. increased by 3.95%. The share price increased from
63.49 PLN/share as at 30 December 2015 to 66.00 PLN/share as at
30 June 2016. The latest analysts' reports indicate that the
Company is positively viewed by investors and analysts.
Macroeconomic assumptions – copper and silver price curves,
discount rate
At the end of the first half of 2016, the Company analysed price
fluctuations and concluded that price curves adopted for
impairment testing did not differ significantly from current market
consensus.
Operating assumptions for individual Cash Generating Units
(CGUs) – production forecasts, mine lives, level of capital
expenditures, C1 cost
CGU KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. In the reporting period, there were no changes in the long-term
production forecasts, mine lives or in the level of cash
expenditures. Moreover, in the first half of 2016, there were no
indications necessitating a revision of the long-term C1 cash cost
forecast. Based on the forecast which takes into account the actual
results achieved in the first half of 2016, it is assumed that the
basic production and economic targets for 2016, which were
adopted for testing, will be reached.
KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. (CGU Robinson, CGU Sudbury,
CGU Franke, CGU Carlota)
In the reporting period, there were no changes in the long-term
production forecasts, mine lives or in the level of expenditures.
Based on the forecast which takes into account the actual results
achieved in the first half of 2016, it is assumed that the basic
production and economic targets for 2016, which were adopted for
testing, will be reached.
CGU Sierra Gorda In the reporting period, there were no changes in the long-term
production forecasts, mine lives or in the level of expenditures.
Based on the actual results for the first half of 2016, it is assumed
that Sierra Gorda will achieve results for 2016 that will be slightly
below the values adopted for impairment testing as at 31
December 2015.

The results of the conducted analysis confirmed that none of the factors that could have an impact on the recoverable amount of assets occurred, and therefore there were no indicators necessitating an update of the tests for impairment conducted as at 31 December 2015.

In the first half of 2016, the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. decided to undertake work on a fundamental revision of the Company's strategy. The need to revise the strategy arose due to the decrease in prices of key commodities, which are lower than prices initially assumed in the previously approved, long-term strategic plans of the Group's companies for the years 2015-2020, the higher-than-initially-planned investment expenditures required to advance international investment projects and the lower-than-anticipated operating and efficiency parameters of international assets. The aforementioned factors indicating the necessity of revising the strategy were already present on 31 December 2015 and were reflected in the impairment loss on assets, recognised as at 31 December 2015.

During the process of revising the strategy, the Management Board is focusing in particular on aligning the Company's investment plans with its current financial capabilities, taking into consideration market conditions and the need to optimise costs.

In particular, as part of the revision of the strategy, the financing models for individual assets will be updated, which will be the basis for re-assessment of occurrence of indications to perform impairment testing of assets.

Economic and technical assumptions related to the operating activities and development of individual assets of KGHM International are being reviewed. On the basis of this technical review, development plans for individual assets will be prepared aimed at maximising their economic value.

Part 2 – Information on segments and revenues

Note 2.1 Operating segments

The operating segments identified in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group reflect the structure of the Group, the manner in which the Group and its individual entities are managed and the regular reporting to the Parent Entity's Management Board.

As a result of the aggregation of operating segments and taking into account the criteria stipulated in IFRS 8, the following reporting segments are currently identified within the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group:

Reporting segment Operating segments aggregated in a
given reporting segment
Indications of similarity of economic
characteristics of segments, taken into account
in aggregations
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Not applicable (it is a single operating and
reporting segment)
KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Companies of the KGHM
INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, in which
the following mines, deposits or mining
areas constitute operating segments:
Sudbury Basin, Robinson, Carlota,
Franke and Ajax.
Operating segments within the KGHM
INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group are located in North
and South America. The Management Board
analyses the results of the following operating
segments: Sudbury Basin, Robinson, Carlota,
Franke, Ajax and other. Moreover, it receives and
analyses reports of the whole KGHM
INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group. Operating segments
are engaged in the exploration and mining of
copper, molybdenum, silver, gold and nickel.
The operating segments were aggregated based
on the similarity of long term margins achieved by
individual segments, and the similarity of products,
processes and production methods.
Sierra Gorda S.C.M. Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (a joint venture) Not applicable (it is a single operating and
reporting segment)
Other segments This item includes other Group
companies (every individual company is
a separate operating segment).
Aggregation was carried out as a result of not
meeting the criteria necessitating the identification
of a separate additional reporting segment.

The following companies were not included in any of the aforementioned segments:

  • Fermat 1 S. á r. l., Fermat 2 S. á r. l. and Fermat 3 S. á r. l., which operate in the holding structure founded to acquire KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.,
  • Future 1 Sp. z o.o., Future 2 Sp. z o.o., Future 3 Sp. z o.o., Future 4 Sp. z o.o., Future 5 Sp. z o.o., Future 6 Sp. z o.o., Future 7 Sp. z o.o., which operate in the structure related to the establishment of a Tax Group.

These companies do not conduct operating activities which could impact the results achieved by individual segments, and as a result their inclusion could distort the data presented in this part of the consolidated financial statements due to significant settlements with other Group companies.

Each of the following segments: KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. and Sierra Gorda S.C.M. have their own Management Boards, which report the results of their business activities directly to the President of the Management Board of the Parent Entity.

The segment KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is composed only of the Parent Entity, and the segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is composed only of the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. Other companies of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group are presented below by segment: KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. and Other segments.

The Parent Entity and the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group (a subgroup) have a fundamental impact on the assets and the generation of revenues in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. The activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. are concentrated on the mining industry in Poland, while those of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group are concentrated on the mining industry in the countries of North and South America. The profile of activities of the majority of the remaining subsidiaries of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group differs from the main profile of the Parent Entity's activities.

The Parent Entity's Management Board monitors the operating results of individual segments in order to make decisions on allocating the Group's resources and to assess the financial results achieved.

Financial data prepared for management reporting purposes is based on the same accounting policies as those applied when preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group, while the financial data of individual reporting segments constitutes the amounts presented in appropriate financial statements prior to consolidation adjustments at the level of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, i.e.:

  • The segment KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. comprises data from the separate financial statements of the Parent Entity prepared in accordance with IFRSs. In the separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries (including the investment in KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.) are measured at cost.
  • The segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. comprises consolidated data of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group prepared in accordance with IFRSs and including fair value adjustments from accounting for the acquisition of this Group by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in 2012. The involvement in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is accounted for using the equity method.
  • The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. comprises the 55% share of assets, liabilities, revenues and costs of this venture presented in the separate financial statements of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. after fair value adjustments of assets and liabilities of this venture, determined when accounting for the acquisition of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group in 2012.
  • Other segments comprises aggregated data of individual subsidiaries before excluding transactions and balances between them.

The Management Board of the Parent Entity assesses a segment's performance based on Adjusted EBITDA and the profit or loss for the period.

The Group defines adjusted EBITDA as profit/loss for the period pursuant to IFRS, excluding income tax (current and deferred), finance income and costs, other operating income and costs, the share of losses of joint ventures accounted for using the equity method, impairment losses on interest in a joint venture, depreciation/amortisation, impairment losses on property, plant and equipment included in the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA – as a financial indicator that is not defined by IFRSs, is not a standardised measure and its calculation may vary between entities, and consequently the presentation and calculation of adjusted EBITDA applied by the Group may not be comparable to that applied by other market entities.

Assets and liabilities which have not been allocated are related to companies which have not been classified to any other segment. Assets which have not been allocated to the segments comprise cash and trade receivables. Liabilities which have not been allocated to the segments comprise trade payables and current tax liabilities.

Note 4.4 Commodity, currency and interest rate risk management

In managing commodity, currency and interest rate risk, the scale and profile of activities of the Parent Entity and of the mining companies of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group is of the greatest significance for, and has the greatest impact on the results of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group.

The Parent Entity actively manages market risk by taking actions and making decisions in this regard within the context of the whole KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group's global exposure.

The primary technique used by the Parent Entity and KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in market risk management is the use of hedging strategies involving derivatives. Natural hedging is also used. Some domestic companies of the Group also make use of derivatives in their activities. However, only the Parent Entity applies hedging transactions, as understood by hedge accounting.

The impact of derivatives on the items in the statement of profit or loss of the Group and on the items in the statement of comprehensive income is presented below:

Impact of derivatives
and hedging transactions
Statement of profit or loss first half of 2016 first half of 2015
Sales revenue 6 221
Other operating and finance income and costs: (179) (175)

On measurement of derivatives (171) (172)

Impact of hedging transactions (24) (205)
Impact of measurement of hedging transactions (effective portion) (18) 16
Reclassification to sales revenues due to realisation of a hedged item (6) (221)
TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (197) (159)

The management of market risk in the Parent Entity, and especially the management of the risk of changes in metals prices, exchange rates and interest rates, should be considered through the analysis of the hedging position together with the position being hedged (hedged position). A hedging position is understood as the Parent Entity's position in derivatives. A hedged position is comprised of highly probable, future cash flows (revenues from the physical sale of products).

The notional amount of copper price hedging strategies settled in the first half of 2016 represented approx. 10% of the total sales of this metal realised by the Parent Entity. In the case of currency transactions, approx. 53% of total revenues from metals sales realised by the Parent Entity during the period were hedged.

In the first half of 2016 the Parent Entity implemented copper price hedging transactions with a total notional amount of 35 thousand tonnes and a hedging horizon falling from March to September 2016. Moreover, the Parent Entity implemented silver price hedging transactions with a total notional amount of 4.05 million troy ounces and a hedging horizon falling from July 2016 to December 2017. Put options were purchased (Asian options). Transactions on the silver market, hedging sales revenue for 2017, were partially financed by writing a put option with a lower strike price, and for the same notional amount (2.7 million troy ounces) and for the same period (put spread option strategy).

Moreover, on the currency market in the first half of 2016, the Parent Entity implemented transactions hedging against a change in the USD/PLN exchange rate for the total notional amount of USD 360 million. Put options were purchased as part of hedging (European options) with maturity dates falling from January to December 2016.

With respect to managing currency risk, which arises from borrowings, the Parent Entity uses natural hedging by borrowing in currencies in which it has revenues. As at 30 June 2016, following their translation to PLN, the bank loans and the investment loan which were drawn in USD amounted to PLN 7 928 million.

As at 30 June 2016, the Parent Entity held a hedging position in derivatives for 10.5 thousand tonnes of copper (for the period from July to September 2016), 4.05 million ounces of silver (for the period from July 2016 to December 2017) as well as for the planned revenues from sales of metals in the amount of USD 1 920 million, including: USD 660 million for the period from July to December 2016, USD 1 020 million for 2017 and USD 240 million for 2018. Moreover, the Parent Entity held open derivatives' transactions on the interest rate market for the third and fourth quarters of 2016 (average quarterly notional amount of USD 650 million), for 2017 (average quarterly notional amount of USD 700 million) and for 2018 (average quarterly notional amount of USD 900 million). In addition, the first instalment of the loan granted by the European Investment Bank (in the amount of USD 300 million) hedges revenues from sales against the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates for the period from October 2017 to October 2026.

Some of the Group's Polish companies managed the currency risk related to their core business by opening transactions in derivatives on the currency market. The table of open transactions as at 30 June 2016 is not presented, due to its immateriality for the Group.

The condensed tables of open transactions in derivatives held by the Parent Entity on the copper, silver, currency and interest rate markets are presented below:

first half of 2016

All entities with which derivative transactions (excluding embedded derivatives) are entered into by the Group operate in the financial sector.

The following table presents the structure of ratings of the financial institutions with whom the Group had derivatives transactions, representing an exposure to credit risk* (as at the end of the reporting period):

Rating level first half of 2016 2015
Medium-high from A+ to A- according to S&P and Fitch, and from A1 to A3
according to Moody's
95% 97%
Medium from BBB+ to BBB- according to S&P and Fitch, and from Baa1 to Baa3
according to Moody's
5% 3%

* Weighed by positive fair value of open and unsettled derivatives.

Taking into consideration the fair value of open derivatives' transactions entered into by the Group and the fair value of unsettled derivatives, as at 30 June 2016 the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 52%, or PLN 20 million (as at 31 December 2015: 58%, or PLN 43 million).

In order to both reduce cash flows and limit credit risk, the Parent Entity carries out net settlements (based on framework agreements entered into with its customers) to the level of the positive balance of fair value measurement of transactions in derivatives with a given counterparty. Moreover, the resulting credit risk is continuously monitored by the on-going review of the credit ratings and is limited by striving to diversify the portfolio while implementing hedging strategies.

Despite the concentration of credit risk associated with derivatives' transactions, the Parent Entity has determined that, due to its cooperation only with renowned financial institutions, as well as continuous monitoring of their ratings, it is not materially exposed to credit risk as a result of transactions concluded with them.

Note 4.5 Liquidity risk and capital management

Capital management policy

Capital management in the Group is aimed at securing funds for business development and maintaining the appropriate level of liquidity.

Ratio Calculation first half of 2016 2015
Net debt/EBITDA ratio of net debt to EBITDA 1.8 1.4
Net debt borrowings, debt instruments and finance lease liabilities less
free cash and short term investments with a maturity of up to 1
year

Equity less intangible assets 16 939 17 043
Total assets sum of non-current and current assets 38 411 36 764

*this amount represents the adjusted EBITDA for the period of 12 months ending on the last day of the reporting period, excluding the EBITDA of the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

In managing capital, the Group also takes into account the amount of adjusted operating profit for the period of 12 months ending on the last day of the reporting period, which is the basis of calculating the financial covenants, and which is comprised of the following items:

first half of 2016 2015
Profit on sales (142) 506
Interest income on loans granted to joint ventures 595 466
Other operating incomes and costs (688) (660)
Adjusted operating profit (235)* 312*

*the amount does not include the impairment loss on the interest in joint ventures

Liquidity management policy

The Management Board of the Parent Entity is responsible for financial liquidity management in the Group and compliance with adopted policy. The Financial Liquidity Committee is an entity supporting the Management Board in this regard.

  • effective management of working capital.

In managing financial liquidity, the Group utilises tools which support its efficiency. One of the basic instruments used by the Group is the cash pool management system – local Cash Pool in PLN, USD and EUR and international one in USD.

Details on sources of borrowings

Contingent liabilities due to guarantees granted

Guarantees and letters of credit are an essential financial liquidity management tool of the Group, thanks to which the companies of the Group do not have to use their cash in order to secure their liabilities towards other entities.

As at 30 June 2016, the Group held contingent liabilities due to guarantees and letters of credit granted in the total amount of PLN 1 733 million and due to promissory notes liabilities in the amount of PLN 256 million.

The most significant items are contingent liabilities of the Parent Entity aimed at:

  • a letter of credit of PLN 547 million, granted as security for the proper performance of a long-term contract for the supply of electricity;
  • corporate guarantees of PLN 295 million, set as security on the payment of concluded lease agreements;
  • a corporate guarantee of PLN 416 million, securing the repayment of short-term working capital facilities of Sierra Gorda S.C.M., which were granted by Banco de Chile and Banco del Estado de Chile;

1. Implementation of Strategy

In the first half of 2016, the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. decided to undertake work on a fundamental revision of the Company's strategy. The need to revise the strategy arose due to the decrease in prices of key commodities, which are lower than prices initially assumed in the previously approved, long-term strategic plans of the Group's companies for the years 2015-2020, the higher than-initially-planned investment expenditures required to advance international investment projects and the lower-than-anticipated operating and efficiency parameters of international assets. The aforementioned factors indicating the necessity of revising the strategy were already present on 31 December 2015 and were reflected in the impairment loss on assets, recognised as at 31 December 2015.

During the process of revising the strategy, the Management Board is focusing in particular on aligning the Company's investment plans with its current financial capabilities taking into consideration market conditions and the need to optimise costs.

In particular, as a part of the revision of the strategy, the current financing models for individual assets will be updated, which will be the basis for re-assessment of occurrence of indications to perform impairment testing of assets.

Economic and technical assumptions related to the operating activities and development of individual assets of KGHM International are being reviewed. On the basis of this technical review, development plans for individual assets will be prepared aimed at maximising their economic value.

With respect to the previous strategy the following projects in individual pillars were advanced:

1.1. RESOURCE BASE DEVELOPMENT

Regional exploration program of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. regarding the exploration and documentation of copper deposits in the Lower Zechstein formation located in south-western Poland:

Advanced exploration projects, with defined copper mineralisation, for which geological exploration is underway throughout or in part of the given concession area:

Radwanice–
Gaworzyce
Exploration work was completed with the documentation of the Radwanice-Gaworzyce deposit. In August
2016 the Company applied for a concession to extract copper ore from the Radwanice-Gaworzyce deposit
in the area of Gaworzyce.
Synklina Grodziecka
and Konrad
The drilling of two holes in the Synklina Grodziecka concession area and one hole in the Konrad
concession area was completed in the second quarter of 2016. Moreover, preparatory work related to
surface-based geophysical measurements was initiated.
At the same time, work on preparing the project's initial feasibility study was initiated, using the data
acquired during exploratory work conducted between 2011 and 2016.
Retków–Ścinawa
and Głogów
In the second quarter of 2016, geological work under the first stage was continued in the Retków-Ścinawa
area. The drilling of two holes was completed and work is underway on the next three holes. The first
stage's drilling in the Głogów concession area was completed.
Projects at the early exploration stage, without defined copper mineralisation:
Stojanów In the first quarter of 2016, the project was formally terminated, while in the second quarter of 2016 the
concession body's decision confirming the expiration of the concession was received.
Exploration projects in the preparatory phase:
Bytom Odrzański
Kulów–Luboszyce
In July 2015 a hearing was conducted with regard to the disputed concessions: Bytom Odrzański,
Kulów-Luboszyce, Bytom Odrzański (Leszno Copper), Kotla and Niechlów. Detailed information in this
matter may be found in part 7.6 of this report.
Other concessions
Zatoka Pucka In 2015 geophysical surface research in the concessioned area was completed. Reinterpretation of
archival data and the analysis of newly-performed geophysical research was completed, thanks to which
more detailed information on the geological structure of the concessioned area was obtained and siting
of planned drilling was verified.
In the second quarter of 2016, the contractor selection procedure for drilling was conducted.
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is the sole owner of the project; the potential investment partner, Grupa Azoty
S.A., informed the Parent Entity that it is not interested in joining this project as an equity partner.
1.2. DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCTION ASSETS IN POLAND
Key development projects in terms of the Core Business in Poland

Program to access the Deep Głogów Deposit Work continued on the sinking of the GG-1 ventilation (input) shaft using concrete lining. As at 30 June 2016 the shaft was 785 meters deep in concrete lining (the shaft's target depth is 1 340 meters with a diameter of 7.5 meters). A cascade drainage system, together with research holes, was completed. Since 2006, 77.9 kilometers of primary tunnelling, which were financed by investment funds, have been excavated along with 25.0 kilometers of primary tunneling financed by operating funds (in total – 102.9 kilometers) together with necessary technical infrastructure (water pipes, power cables, electrical switching stations, conveyor belts, retention reservoirs, pipes and climate control equipment and communications equipment).

Work continued on the second stage of the construction of the Surface-based Ventilation Station at the
R-XI shaft, which will enable an increase in the production of cooled air to the mine below the level of
1200 meters to 25 MW. The planned date of completion of this work is the second half of 2016.
Construction of the SW-4
shaft
Work continues on target infrastructure such as: squares and roads. The administration–social building is
in the process of handover. Supports were constructed for the assembly of power and communications
cables in the SW-4 shaft. Assembly of SW-4 shaft infrastructure for the target period has begun.
Pyrometallurgy
Modernisation Program
at the Głogów
smelter/refinery
The start-up of electrical switching stations was initiated, and the installation is being brought on-line.
Programming work is underway. The assembly of equipment and installation continued with respect to
the Flash Furnace, Electrical Furnace, Power Building and elements of the Charge Preparation Section at
the Głogów I smelter/refinery.
Start-up of the drier is underway, the pressure testing of the recovery boiler was completed and
mechanical movement testing of the conveyor belts and other completed installations of the production
line is underway.
The current state of technical agreements and building permits allows the on-going work to be continued.
Due to the specific nature of work in an operating plant, the process of obtaining building permits and
substitute building permits will continue until completion of the investment.
Start-up of the Flash Furnace installation at the Głogów I smelter/refinery is planned in the fourth quarter
of 2016.
Adaptation of technical
infrastructure to the
change in smelting
technology at the
Głogów I
smelter/refinery
With respect to adjustment projects, work continued on the advancement of projects aimed at adapting
metallurgical production infrastructure to the change in smelting technology at the Głogów I
smelter/refinery as well as the modernisation of selected elements of the metallurgical production line of
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Metallurgy Development
Program (MDP)
The Program's definition was developed, which foresees the realisation of projects aimed at adapting the
metallurgical production infrastructure to the change in smelting technology at the Głogów I
smelter/refinery and the modernisation of selected elements of the metallurgical production line of
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. The Metallurgy Development Program ensures the processing of all of the
Company's own concentrates in installations at the Głogów I smelter/refinery, the Głogów II
smelter/refinery and the Legnica smelter/refinery after 2017, and offers the potential for higher copper
production from imported concentrates.
As part of this program work has commenced on the following projects:
-
construction of a steam drier at the Głogów II smelter/refinery,
-
construction of a concentrate roasting installation at the Głogów I smelter/refinery,
-
modernisation of the Tank and Electrolite Decopperisation Hall at the Legnica smelter/refinery.
Additional projects of the MDP are currently at the stage of preparing documentation aimed at obtaining
decisions as to their execution.
Development of the
Żelazny Most tailings
storage facility
The Program to Manage the Tailings of the Żelazny Most tailings storage facility was approved (by a
decision of the Marshal of the Lower Silesia Voivodeship dated 6 April 2016). An environmental decision
required to obtain a permit to develop the entire Żelazny Most tailings storage facility to a crown height of
195 m a.s.l. was obtained. On 16 June 2016, the application for granting the right to develop the Żelazny
Most tailings storage facility to a crown height of 195 m a.s.l. was submitted. On 28 June 2016, an
application for a Construction Permit was submitted. The estimated date of receiving all of the permits is
the second half of 2016.

1.3. DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL ASSETS

While the financial and economic situation of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. remains stable, the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is aware that the actual level of operating cash flow is insufficient to enable it to independently (without the support of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.) advance the projects Ajax, Victoria and Sierra Gorda Oxide.

A review of technical assumptions and risk factors associated with the realisation of the project is
underway due to the low level of recognition of the orebody (in the category Inferred).
As a part of the optimisation work carried out to date the employment structure was adjusted to the
scope and schedule of the work on this project.
Phase 2 (KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group 55%, Sumitomo Metal Mining and Sumitomo Corporation
45%) - The process of reviewing and optimising technical assumptions of the second phase is underway.
Taking into consideration actual molybdenum and copper price levels and the current level of Sierra
Gorda's operational efficiency, it is not possible at present to make a decision as to the commencement of
the project's second phase.
Sierra Gorda Oxide (project for processing of the oxide ore) – engineering and design work continued on
selecting a project concept which will maximise its economic value. As part of the optimisation work
carried out to date, the employment structure was adjusted to the scope and schedule of the work on the
Sierra Gorda Oxide project.
Ajax project
(British Columbia, Canada)
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Group 80%, Abacus Mining
and Exploration Corp. 20%
Work continues on obtaining the environmental permit necessary to start the construction of the mine.
KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. is closely cooperating with representatives of First Nations as well as with
those from the governmental administration, and aims at full transparency of the process of assessing
the environmental impact of the Ajax mine.
It was decided that the assumptions of the project's feasibility study will be reviewed by independent
consultants.
As a part of the optimisation work carried out to date, the employment structure was adjusted to the
scope and schedule of the work on the Ajax project.
* in the case of Sierra Gorda Oxide, Sumitomo has an option to acquire a 45% interest in the project
1.4. INITIATIVES AIMED AT ENHANCING KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION IN KGHM POLSKA MIEDŹ S.A.

Main R&D initiatives The main R&D projects are concentrated on developing innovative solutions aimed at realisation of
innovative technological and organisational solutions enabling an improvement in efficiency, occupational
health and safety and ensuring production continuity. The Management Board has decided to withdraw
from the combination of KGHM CUPRUM sp. z o.o. - CBR and CBJ sp. z o.o. The R&D activities of these
companies will be pursued independently, but KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. will coordinate these activities.
CuBR Program Work continued on the advancement of R&D projects which are joint ventures with sector partners,
academic and R&D institutions.
With respect to the joint venture with the National Centre for Research and Development involving
support for academic research and development work for the non-ferrous metals industry, the third
edition of the competition is currently underway, in which 45 applications were submitted, in 20 subjects
related to the core production business. The budget for advancement of these projects of the third
edition of this competition is PLN 108 million. First stage of content related assessment has been
completed – 39 applications have advanced to subsequent stages.

1.5. PRODUCTION

Sierra Gorda mine in
Chile – Phase 1
KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.
Group 55%, Sumitomo
Metal Mining and Sumitomo
Work continued to increase processing capacity under Phase 1 of the Sierra Gorda. Key challenges involve
the achievement of Phase 1 production volumes, including target recoveries and processing plant
stability. The level of recovery achieved by the molybdenum plant, as well as the functioning of the plant
itself, are impacted by the high pyrite content in ore. The intensive work being carried out by employees
of Sierra Gorda, KGHM and Sumitomo is supported by world-class experts.
Corporation 45% With respect to the process of achieving target production capacity, technical assumptions for the existing
infrastructure are being optimised and reviewed.
The production of copper in concentrate from the Sierra Gorda mine in the first half of 2016 amounted to
48.4 thousand tonnes, and molybdenum in concentrate to 12.5 million pounds.
In June 2016, Mr. Robert Wunder was appointed General Manager of Sierra Gorda.
Due to the macroeconomic situation and to the lower than assumed production results, work was
continued on implementing savings initiatives, such as renegotiating contracts to reduce contracted
prices, optimising inventories levels and reducing employment.
An international team of experts responsible for overseeing Sierra Gorda's tailings storage facility was
appointed.
Cooperation continues with Chile's Environmental Enforcement Agency, SMA. In April 2016, Sierra Gorda
submitted a program of compliance by the plant with the regulator's requirements. Following numerous
meetings with SMA, in July 2016, Sierra Gorda submitted an updated plan. At present its formal approval
by SMA is awaited. In the first half of 2016 a review of the Life of Mine operating plan commenced. A more
robust plan is being implemented to reduce costs and to enhance operational efficiency.
Maintaining production
from own concentrate
Preparatory work was carried out on commencing mining in new areas of the deposits as part of the ore
access program (previously the GG-P project) as well as actions related to gaining a concession to mine
the copper ore from the Radwanice-Gaworzyce deposit in the Gaworzyce mining area.
Improving efficiency in
the core business in
Poland
With respect to the mining and metallurgical activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., among others those
related to the VCP (Value Creation Plan) Program, initiatives aimed at improving resource management
effectiveness were continued, at the same time enabling limitation of cost increases by:
-
more efficient utilisation of resources (3D deposit modeling),
-
increasing the mining and production of copper in concentrate,
-
optimising management of underground machines (purchasing and servicing, availability),
-
automation of production lines in the mines and concentrators,
-
more efficient management and optimisation of production infrastructure,
-
implementation of an energy savings program, and
-
optimising employment levels.

Although the International Monetary Fund, in its April analysis of the state of the global economy, reduced its outlook for economic growth as compared to the situation described in its October report, in the first half of 2016 many macroeconomic indicators suggested a slight improvement in most of the world's regions. Thanks to the recovery in the oil price, the condition of oil producing developing countries also improved. There was no evident recovery in the developed economies, with data for the EU being slightly better than forecasts and data for the United States slightly worse.

In March, the European Central Bank once again reduced interest rates, and in addition increased its assets purchase program to EUR 80 billion monthly (from EUR 60 billion). Investor sentiment was clearly impacted negatively by the referendum planned in the United Kingdom for 27 June 2016 on that country's continued membership in the EU. Decisions regarding monetary policy in the US were also affected by uncertainty in this regard, which was reflected in the announcement after the June meeting by the FED.

Apart from the aforementioned referendum, the increased aversion to risk by market participants was also affected by among others, the deferral of an interest rate hike in the USA, the continued problem of immigration in Europe and the slowdown of growth by the Chinese economy. This was reflected in higher precious metals prices, which are generally considered to be safe assets. The result of the referendum in the United Kingdom was a surprise to financial markets and clearly exacerbated economic, political and institutional uncertainty. As a consequence there was enhanced interest not only in gold and silver but also in currencies which are more sought after in times of uncertainty, such as the USD, JPY and CHF.

Chart 1. Copper price on the London Metal Exchange (USD/t)

In the first half of 2016 the cash settlement price of copper on the London Metal Exchange (LME) ranged from approx. 4 310 – 5 103 USD/t. The beginning of the year saw a continuation of the next falling trend in place since the second quarter of 2015, as a result of which copper reached 4 310.50 USD/t, its lowest price since 2009. The main reason for this was the negative investor sentiment toward the commodities markets, caused among others by the on-going slowdown in the Chinese economy and by other factors related to uncertainty in the global economy, such as the Brexit referendum.

The average cash settlement price of copper on the LME in the first half of 2016 amounted to 4 701 USD/t and was nearly 21% lower than in the comparable period of 2015, when it reached on average 5 929 USD/t.

According to the London Bullion Market (LBM) in the first half of 2016, the average price of silver amounted to 15.82 USD/oz t (508.6 USD/kg), meaning a drop by 4.4% as compared to that in the first half of 2015 – 16.55 USD/oz t. A rising trend has been observed since the beginning of the year. After reaching in January 2016 its lowest price since 2009 at the level of 13.58 USD/oz t, the price of silver has risen, mainly due to increasing investors' aversion to risk. This sentiment was mainly due to the deferral of further increases in interest rates in the USA, the tense geopolitical situation and to uncertainty related to the Brexit referendum. The average price of silver in the first half of 2016 expressed in PLN was the highest since 2013.

Chart 3. USD/PLN exchange rate per the NBP

The average USD/PLN exchange rate (per the NBP) in the first half of 2016 amounted to 3.9142 and was higher compared to the corresponding period of 2015 by 5.4% (3.7150). The beginning of the year saw a continued weakening of the PLN versus the USD, which has been going on since September 2015. In mid-January the rating agency S&P reduced the credit rating of Poland from (A-) to (BBB+), and also reduced the rating perspective from positive to negative. This information contributed to a further sell-off of the Polish currency. The agency's announcement indicates that the lowered rating was not directly caused by macroeconomic factors, but by political ones. Subsequent months saw a more stable situation and an appreciation of the Polish currency. In the last weeks of the first half of 2016 the currencies of developing countries, including the PLN, came under pressure as a result of the Brexit referendum set for the 27th of June.

Chart 4. Nickel price on the London Metal Exchange (USD/t)

In the first half of 2016, the average price of nickel amounted to 8 662 USD/t, meaning a drop by nearly 37% as compared to the corresponding period of 2015 (13 684 USD/t). The market for this commodity was mainly under pressure from the weak condition of the steel industry, from inventories accumulated in prior periods and from the substitution of nickel from Indonesia with material from the Philippines. Also of significance were political decisions regarding the functioning of the mining sector in Indonesia, which is a major producer of this metal.

The price of molybdenum reached its minimum in October 2015. Since that time this metal has systematically appreciated in value, partially a reaction to the deep falls of previous quarters, but also to the recovery in the price of oil. Market participants are also taking into account the possibility of production cutbacks by projects which are unprofitable at current prices as well as the lower number of mine projects under construction which include this metal. The average price of molybdenum on the LME in the first half of 2016 amounted to 6.04 USD/lb, meaning a drop by 25% versus the comparable period of 2015 (8.04 USD/lb).

Chart 6. USD/CAD exchange rate per the Bank of Canada

Both the Canadian dollar as well as the Chilean peso depreciated at the turn of 2015 and 2016 as a result of the strengthening of the USD and the fall in commodities prices. Subsequent months of 2016 stabilised the situation, while the increase in the oil price seen during this period led to, above all, a strengthening of the Canadian currency due to the significance of this commodity for the Canadian economy. The Chilean peso also appreciated versus the USD, though this was more because of the weakening of the USD than to the change in the copper price during this period.

The average USD/CLP exchange rate (per the Bank of Chile) in the first half of 2016 amounted to 690 and was 11% higher than in the first half of 2015 (621). The average USD/CAD exchange rate (per the Bank of Canada) in the first half of 2016 amounted to 1.3302 and was 7.7% higher than in the first half of 2015 (1.2354).

In the first half of 2016 there was an increase in ore extraction (dry weight) versus the comparable period of 2015. Copper content in ore decreased from 1.54% to 1.50%, due to the lower content and thickness of the mined deposit. As a result of higher extraction of ore, the production of copper in ore increased by 863 t (0.4%).

Production of copper in concentrate decreased by around 2 thousand tonnes as compared to the first 6 months of 2015 and was due to the lower copper content in ore.

The production of electrolytic copper as compared to the corresponding period of 2015 was lower by 23.3 thousand tonnes (8%) and is the result of setting aside half-finished products as inventory, which will be used in the second half of 2016 during the three-month shutdown of the Głogów I smelter/refinery. The lower production of metallic silver in the first half of 2016 was the result of the lower electrolytic copper production.

The aforementioned factors were responsible for the lower copper equivalent production from own concentrate by 4%, despite the more favourable relation of silver to copper prices.

On 16 July 2016 the planned three-month shutdown of the Głogów I smelter/refinery began, during which the shaft furnace technology will be switched to flash furnace technology.

Sales revenue in the first half of 2016 amounted to PLN 6 540 million and was lower than in the comparable period of 2015 by 19%. The main reasons for the decrease in sales revenue were lower:

metals prices on the commodities markets (of copper by 21% and silver by 4%),

  • copper and silver sales volumes (respectively by 8% and 3%), the result of setting aside half-finished products as inventory due to the planned maintenance shutdown of the Głogów I smelter/refinery, and
  • positive adjustment of revenues due to hedging transactions, from PLN 221 million to PLN 6 million,

alongside a more favourable USD/PLN exchange rate.

The Parent Entity's cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses (total cost of products, merchandise and materials sold, selling costs and administrative expenses) in the first half of 2016 amounted to PLN 5 528 million and was lower by PLN 629 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2015 due to lower expenses by nature by 2.7% and to a lower volume of copper and silver sales. The lower sales, which were the result of lower production, was due to the increase in half-finished products (copper anode) stored due to the shutdown of the Głogów I smelter/refinery – planned in the third quarter of 2016.

In the first half of 2016, expenses by nature were lower by PLN 177 million as compared to the first half of 2015, mainly due to a lower minerals extraction tax by PLN 204 million alongside higher costs of consumption of purchased metal-bearing materials by PLN 16 million (due to the higher volume of consumption by 10 thousand tonnes of Cu and alongside a 10% lower purchase price).

C1 cost was as follows: in the first half of 2015, 1.50 USD/lb; in the first half of 2016, 1.33 USD/lb. The decrease in C1 cost (by 0.17 USD/lb) was mainly caused by the weakening of the Polish zloty versus the US dollar by 5%. C1 cost for the first half of 2016, calculated using the prices of associated metals and exchange rates for the first half of 2015, amounts to 1.53 USD/lb and is slightly higher than last year's level due to lower production of own concentrate by 1%.

The pre-precious metals credit unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate (unit cost prior to decrease by the value of anode slimes containing, among others, silver and gold) amounted to 19 575 PLN/t (in the comparable period of 2015: 20 135 PLN/t) and was lower by 2.8% mainly due to the lower minerals extraction tax by 838 PLN/t alongside lower production from own concentrate by 12.5%. The total unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate amounted to 13 404 PLN/t (in the first half of 2015: 14 113 PLN/t).

In the first half of 2016, copper production in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. amounted to 46.8 thousand tonnes and was higher by 1.8 thousand tonnes (+4%) as compared to the first half of 2015. The Robinson mine contributed the most to the increase in production volume with copper production higher by 2.8 thousand tonnes (+11%) thanks to extracting ore from the lower levels of the Ruth East pit. In comparison to the ore extracted from the higher levels of this pit during the first 6 months of 2015, the copper ore extracted during the current period was of a higher quality (an increase in copper grade from 0.49% to 0.53%), which resulted in an improvement in technological parameters. The Morrison mine also contributed to the increase in the volume of copper production, in which ore with higher copper grade was extracted in the first half of 2016 (7.30% as compared to 5.70% in the first half of 2015).

The increase in the production of precious metals in the Sudbury Basin mines (Morrison) as well as in the Robinson mine was due to the higher grade of these metals in the extracted ore.

The sales revenue of the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first half of 2016 amounted to USD 304 million, and was lower by USD 25 million (-8%) as a result of unfavourable macroeconomic conditions, reflected in the lower achieved sales prices of copper and nickel. This sales revenue was partially offset by the higher sales volumes of precious metals and copper.

The decrease in revenues from copper sales by USD 37 million (-15%), alongside a higher sales volume by 0.5 thousand tonnes, is due to the lower achieved sales price of this metal, which amounted to 4 718 USD/t in the first half of 2016 as compared to 5 644 USD/t in the first 6 months of 2015 (-16%).

The increase in revenues from precious metals sales by USD 12 million (+30%) is the result of higher level of production and sales of these metals by the Robinson and Morrison mines, as well as a higher achieved gold price, from 1 251 USD/oz t to 1 395 USD/oz t (+12%).

4.5. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

In the first half of 2016, capital expenditures by the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. amounted to USD 77 million, and were lower by USD 60 million (-44%) as compared to the first half of 2015.

Around 50% of the expenditures were incurred by the Robinson mine and were mainly due to pre-stripping work. Their decrease as compared to the first half of 2015 was due to a limitation of work related to pre-stripping of areas currently under operation. At present work is underway on optimisation of the long-term development scenario for this mine.

Expenditures related to the Victoria project in the first 6 months of 2016 amounted to USD 18 million (including USD 5 million related to work carried out in 2015) and mainly comprised construction of infrastructure, including a power substation and a drilling program. Currently, work is underway on reviewing the project's assumptions.

Work related to the Sierra Gorda Oxide project involved analysing the project's possible development concepts to maximise its economic value.

Expenditures for the Ajax project in the amount of USD 6 million were related to preparing an environmental permit application as well as the review of basic technical documentation by independent consultants.

In the first half of 2016, KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. continued to finance the Sierra Gorda mine in the amount of USD 61 million, in order to maintain its liquidity given the continuation of unfavourable macroeconomic conditions.

5. Operating results of the segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is a joint venture (under the JV company Sierra Gorda S.C.M.) of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. (55%) and Sumitomo Group companies (45%).

The following production and financial data are presented on a 100% basis for the joint venture and proportionally to the interest in the company Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (55%), pursuant to the note on segments presented in part 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

5.1. PRODUCTION

The following information presents production in the first half of 2015 which is not presented in the segment note in part 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which only provides data from the commencement of commercial production, i.e. from 1 July 2015.

* Payable metal in concentrate.

** TPM – precious metals (gold in case of Sierra Gorda S.C.M.)

*** The value of production volume of all metals converted into copper based on market prices – from own concentrate

In comparison to the production results achieved in the comparable period of 2015, copper production increased by 26% and molybdenum production by almost 4-times. This significant increase in production results from the fact that in the first half of 2015 the mine was under construction, while molybdenum production was commenced in April 2015.

The decrease in copper production during the second quarter was mainly caused by processing ore from a transition zone, which is characterised by greater hardness and the content of undesired elements, having a negative impact on technological processing parameters. Molybdenum production was lower due to the high content of iron in the ore, mainly affecting molybdenum recovery, which was below the expected level.

In the first half of 2016 work was aimed at increasing production capacity and decreasing operating costs, mainly including:

  • improvements and modernisations aimed at remediation of defects arising at the stage of design and construction of the mine,
  • optimising maintenance, resulting in shorter maintenance cycles,
  • increasing coordination of actions between the mine and processing plant aimed at reducing volatility in the quality of processed ore,
  • tests of new floatation reagents, aimed at improving the quality of concentrate produced from the ore mined in the transition zone, and
  • updating and verifying planning assumptions to increase production predictability and forecasts accuracy.

5.2. SALES REVENUE

Sierra Gorda S.C.M. prepares a statement of profit or loss since the start of commercial production, i.e. from 1 July 2015, and therefore the tables presented below do not include revenues for the first half of 2015, which were capitalised as capital expenditures related to mine construction. This note also relates to other financial information within the statement of profit or loss of Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

In the first half of 2016 revenues from sales of products less treatment and refining charges (TC/RC) amounted to USD 315 million (PLN 1 241 million). The increase in revenues in the second quarter is mainly caused by a higher molybdenum sales volumes (in June some of the stored molybdenum concentrate was sold). There was also a positive impact from significant increase in the achieved sale price of this metal in the first half of 2016.

The decrease in copper sales volume was mainly caused by unfavourable weather, which prevented timely shipments from the port of Antofagasta. The average achieved copper sale price was also lower.

5.3. COSTS

The cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses incurred by company Sierra Gorda S.C.M. amounted to USD 418 million (PLN 1 646 million), including cost of sales of USD 27 million (PLN 107 million), and administrative expenses of USD 40 million (PLN 158 million).

* C1 unit production cost of copper - cash cost of payable copper production, reflecting costs of ore extraction and processing, the minerals extraction tax, transport costs, administrative expenses during the mining phase and smelter treatment and refining charges (TC/RC) less byproduct value.

The following expenses by nature were significant:

  • cost of external services, mainly contracts related to providing services for the mine and ore processing facility,
  • depreciation/amortisation, including amortisation of expenditures on accessing the deposit (pre-stripping),
  • cost of materials, energy and fuel, and
  • remuneration costs.

The aforementioned costs represented in total nearly 80% of total costs prior to decrease by capitalised pre-stripping costs as well as to the change in inventories.

In the second quarter, the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses increased by 26%, mainly due to an increase in sales of molybdenum from inventories and higher fixed costs related to contracts for energy supplies (in June the power plant dedicated to the mine was opened).

It should be noted that in the same period there was an improvement in mine operating costs (before adjustment by the change in inventories and by capitalised pre-stripping costs), resulting in a decrease in unit cost calculated per tonne mined by 9%. The unit operating cost of the ore processing facility increased by 3%, mainly due to the aforementioned increase in energy costs.

The company is continuing the program of saving initiatives, resulting in a decrease in some operating costs, including mainly external services and materials.

The unit cash cost of copper production (C1) amounted to 1.75 USD/lb. The increase of this cost during the second quarter was caused mainly by lower copper sales volumes and the previously mentioned factors affecting the level of costs.

5.4. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

5.5. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

In the first half of 2016, expenditures on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets recognised in the statement of cash flows amounted to USD 162 million (PLN 638 million), of which 55% were expenditures incurred on pre-stripping to gain access to further areas of the deposit. The significant decrease as compared to the corresponding period in 2015 results from the fact that in the first half of 2015 the mine was under construction.

The main source of financing investments were the short-term bank loan (USD 186 million) and increases in share capital in the amount of USD 110 million, of which USD 61 million was provided by the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. As at 30 June 2016, the carrying amount of the owner loan amounted to USD 3 631 million, while its increase of USD 141 million as compared to the level at the end of 2015 was mainly due to accrued interest (in the first half of 2016 there was no owner loan financing).

6.3. FINANCING OF GROUP ACTIVITIES

General principles of financial resource management

The primary goal of the process of financial resource management in the Group is to ensure the ability to maintain continuous operations and to carry out investments by securing the availability of the funds required to achieve the Group's business goals, while optimising incurred costs. Financial liquidity management involves securing an appropriate amount of cash resources and available lines of credit in the short, medium and long term.

To increase the transparency and effectiveness of the Group's financing structure and strengthen financial control over strategic investments, debt has been consolidated at the Parent Entity's level. The consolidation of debt conforms with the best market practice for large international groups. As at 30 June 2016, 98% of debt remained at the Parent Entity's level.

In the first half of 2016, the Group used external sources of financing based on 3 pillars.

Source of external debt

Unsecured, revolving
syndicated credit facility
in the amount of
USD 2.5 billion with
maturity of 10 July 2020*
(with the option to
extend for another year)
This financing agreement was signed by the Parent Entity with a syndicate banks group in 2014 in the
amount of USD 2.5 billion with a five-year tenor with the option of extending for another 2 years. In
2015, the Parent Entity obtained permission of the syndicate banks group to extend the maturity of the
credit facility by 1 year.*
The funds drawn were used to finance general corporate goals, including the continuation of
investment projects and to refinance the debt of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.
Investment loan from
the European
Investment Bank in the
amount of
PLN 2.0 billion with a
financing period of
12 years
This financing agreement was signed by the Parent Entity with the European Investment Bank in 2014 in
the amount of PLN 2 billion, with the possibility of drawing loan instalments in PLN, EUR and USD. As at
the reporting date the instalments had a remaining period of availability of 11 months. The deadline for
repaying the instalments drawn is 30 October 2026.
The funds acquired through this loan are being used to finance the Parent Entity's investment projects
related to modernisation of metallurgy and development of the Żelazny Most tailings storage facility.
Bilateral bank loans in
the amount of
PLN 3.6 billion
Group companies have open lines of credit in the form of bilateral agreements in the total amount of
PLN 3.6 billion. These are working capital facilities and overdraft facilities with availability of up to
2 years as well as long-term investment bank loans.
The funds obtained under aforementioned bank loans agreements are used to finance working capital,
are a tool in managing current financial liquidity and support the financing of investments.

* In July 2016 the Parent Entity obtained the banks' permission to extend the maturity of the credit facility by another year. The new deadline for repayment is 9 July 2021.

The aforementioned sources ensure the availability of PLN 15 520 million in external financing and fully cover the medium- and long-term liquidity needs of the Group.

Cash pool in the Group

In managing its financial liquidity, the Group utilises tools which support its efficiency.

The cash pool system is aimed at optimising cash management and limiting interest costs, the effective financing of current needs in terms of working capital and supporting short term financial liquidity in the Group.

Loans granted

As at 30 June 2016, the balance of loans granted by the Group amounted to PLN 7 988 million, or USD 2 009 million. This item comprises long-term loans with interest based on a fixed interest rate, granted by the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group to finance mining projects in Chile and Canada.

7.1. DESCRIPTION OF BASIC THREATS AND RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBSEQUENT REPORTING MONTHS

Comprehensive Risk Management System in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group

The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group defines risk as uncertainty, being an integral part of the activities conducted and having the potential to result in both opportunities and threats to achievement of the business goals. The current and future, actual and potential impact of risk on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group's activities is assessed. Based on this assessment, management practices are reviewed and adjusted in terms of responses to individual risk factors.

The Management Board's report on the activities of the Group in the first half of 2016

Under the Corporate Risk Management Policy and Procedure and the Rules of the Corporate Risk Committee approved in 2013, the process of corporate risk management in the Group is consistently performed. The companies of the Group have implemented rules and procedures to regulate the management of corporate risk which are consistent with those of the Parent Entity. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. oversees the process of managing corporate risk in the Group.

Risk factors in various areas of the Group's operations are continuously identified, assessed and analysed in terms of their possible limitation. Key risk factors in the Group undergo in-depth analysis in order to develop a Risk Response Plan and Corrective Actions. Other risk factors undergo constant monitoring by the Corporate Risk Management and Supervisory Standards Department, and in terms of financial risk factors by the Executive Director of the Finance and Risk Management Department.

This comprehensive approach to analysing risk factors also comprises the identification of risk factors related to achieving assumed strategic goals. The breakdown of rights and responsibilities applies the best practice principles for Corporate Governance and the generally recognised model of three lines of defense.

Key risk factors and their mitigation

A detailed description of key risk factors of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, together with mitigating actions and with an indication of specific risk factors for the Parent Entity and KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, was presented in the Management Board's Report on the Activities of the Group in 2015, available at the Company's website www.kghm.com (Section 6.4. Key risk factors and risk management).

Market risk management

Commodity risk,
currency risk
In the first half of 2016, the Parent Entity implemented strategies hedging revenues from the sale of
silver and copper. Hedging strategies were also implemented on the currency market.
As at 30 June 2016, the Parent Entity held an open hedging position on the copper and silver
markets. Copper sales revenues were secured for the period from July 2016 to September 2016
covering 3 500 tonnes monthly, while 225 000 troy ounces monthly of revenues from sales of silver
were secured for the period from July 2016 to December 2017.
As at 30 June 2016, the Parent Entity held an open hedging position on the currency market covering
USD 1 920 million of planned revenues from sales for the period from July 2016 to December 2018.
In addition, the first instalment from the European Investment Bank (in the amount of
USD 300 million) hedges revenues from sales against the risk of a change in the exchange rate in the
period from October 2017 to October 2026.
In terms of managing currency risk deriving from bank loans, the Parent Entity applies natural
hedging, based on the drawing of credit in those currencies in which it earns revenues. Liabilities
which comprised the balance of bank and other loans as at 30 June 2016 were drawn in USD,
which following their translation to the Polish zloty amounted to PLN 7 928 million.
As at 30 June 2016, the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group did not hold open hedging positions in
derivatives on the metals and currency markets.
Interest rate risk As at 30 June 2016, the following positions were exposed to interest rate risk by impacting the
amount of interest costs and income:
-
cash and cash equivalents: PLN 1 101 million, including deposits of special purpose funds:
the Mine Closure Fund and the Tailings Storage Facility Restoration Fund and Social Benefits
Fund,
-
liabilities due to bank loans drawn: PLN 6 877 million.
As at 30 June 2016, the following positions were exposed to interest rate risk due to changes in the
fair value of instruments with fixed interest rates:
-
receivables due to loans granted by the Group: PLN 7 998 million, including loans granted by
KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. for the financing of a joint mining venture in Chile:
PLN 7 966 million (USD 2 001 million),
-
liabilities due to loans drawn with fixed interest rates: PLN 1 206 million, including loan received
by the Parent Entity from the European Investment Bank in the amount of PLN 1 200 million
(or USD 302 million).
Holding financial liabilities within available borrowings, denominated in USD and based on LIBOR,
exposes the Group to the risk of higher interest rates which would result in higher interest costs. As
a result, taking into consideration the global exposure of the Group to interest rate risk, the Parent
Entity decided to exercise its right to draw loans from the European Investment Bank based on a
fixed interest rate. In addition, the Parent Entity remains hedged against an increase in the interest
rate (LIBOR USD) by purchasing call options (interest rate CAP) with a 2.50 % interest rate, for the
period to December 2018, and an average quarterly notional amount of USD 770 million.
Price risk related to changes Price risk related to the shares of listed companies held by the Group is understood as the change in
in the share prices of their fair value due to changes in their quoted share prices.
listed companies As at 30 June 2016, the carrying amount of shares of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock
Exchange and on the TSX Venture Exchange amounted to PLN 582 million.

Other important information regarding market risk management is presented in part 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Credit risk management

Credit risk related to
trade receivables
To reduce the risk of insolvency by its customers, the Parent Entity has entered into a receivables
insurance contract, which covers receivables from entities with buyer's credit which have not
provided strong collateral or have provided collateral which does not cover the total amount of the
receivables. Taking into account the collateral held and the credit limits received from the insurance
company, as at 30 June 2016, the Parent Entity had secured 91% of its trade receivables (as at
31 December 2015: 95%).
Credit risk related to cash
and cash equivalents and
bank deposits
The Group periodically allocates free cash in accordance with the requirements to maintain financial
liquidity and limit risk and in order to protect capital and maximise interest income.
Credit risk related to bank deposits is continuously monitored by the on-going review of the credit
ratings of those financial institutions with which the Group cooperates, and by maintaining an
appropriately low level of concentration in individual financial institutions.
Credit risk related to
derivatives transactions
Detailed information may be found in part 4 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Credit risk related to loans
granted
As at 30 June 2016, the balance of loans granted by the Group amounted to PLN 7 998 million.
This item is primarily comprised of long-term loans in the total amount of PLN 7 966 million, or
USD 2 001 million, granted by the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group for the financing of a joint
mining venture in Chile (loan to Sierra Gorda S.C.M.).

advancement and is considered by the Group to be moderate.

financial results of its borrower.
