On 5 September 2016, the Supervisory Board of the Parent Entity delegated Member of the Supervisory Board Dominik Hunek to temporarily carry out the duties of a member of the Management Board – the Vice President of the Management Board of the Parent Entity (Development), during the period from 6 September 2016 to 6 December 2016.

On 29 September 2016, the Supervisory Board of the Parent Entity adopted a resolution on delegating Miłosz Stanisławski, a member of the Supervisory Board of the Parent Entity, from 30 September 2016 to 30 October 2016, to independently carry out supervisory activities regarding the Parent Entity with respect to the Parent Entity's investments outside of the Republic of Poland.

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 after 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 /(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 recognised in cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses. Adjusted EBITDA – as a financial indicator 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 of the segments. 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.

In the first 9 months of 2016, there was an increase in ore extraction (dry weight) versus the comparable period of 2015. Copper content in ore decreased from 1.53% to 1.50%, due to the lower content and thickness of the mined deposit. Production of copper in concentrate is at a level similar to that of the first 9 months of 2015.

The production of electrolytic copper as compared to the corresponding period of 2015 was lower by 31.5 thousand tonnes (7%) due to the three-month shutdown of the Głogów I smelter/refinery. The lower production of metallic silver was the result of the lower electrolytic copper production.

The slight decrease in production of copper equivalent from own concentrate by 1%, as compared to the decrease in production of copper from own concentrate by 12% and silver by 3%, was due to the change in the relationship of silver to copper prices (an increase in silver prices alongside a decrease in copper prices), which increased the value of silver production calculated as a copper equivalent.

On 15 October 2016 production by the Głogów I smelter/refinery recommenced, using flash furnace technology.

In the first 9 months of 2016, sales revenue amounted to PLN 10 284 million and was 13% lower compared to the corresponding period of 2015. The main reasons for the decrease in sales revenue were:

  • the 17% lower price of copper on the LME,
  • the lower volume of copper and silver sales (respectively by 7% and 3%) due to the setting aside of half-finished products as inventory due to the maintenance shutdown at the Głogów smelter/refinery, and
  • the less favourable positive adjustment of revenues due to hedging transactions, from PLN 343 million to PLN 12 million,

alongside a more favourable by 5% USD/PLN exchange rate and a 7% higher silver price.

*** Cash cost of concentrate production reflecting the minerals extraction tax, plus administrative expenses and smelter treatment and refining charges (TC/RC), less depreciation/amortisation cost and the value of by-product premiums, calculated for payable copper in concentrate.

The Parent Entity's cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses in the first 9 months of 2016 amounted to PLN 8 590 million and were lower by PLN 586 million as compared to the same period in 2015 due to 2% lower expenses by nature and a lower volume of copper and silver sales. The lower sales, resulting from lower production, is the result of setting aside half-finished products as inventory due to the maintenance shutdown at the Głogów I smelter/refinery in the third quarter of 2016.

During the first 9 months of 2016, expenses by nature were lower by PLN 195 million as compared to the corresponding period of 2015, mainly due to a lower minerals extraction tax by PLN 193 million alongside slightly higher costs of consumption of purchased metal-bearing materials by PLN 9 million (due to the higher volume of consumption by 11 thousand tonnes of Cu alongside an 8.5% lower purchase price).

C1 cost was as follows: in the first 9 months of 2016, 1.28 USD/lb; in the first 9 months of 2015, 1.49 USD/lb. The decrease in C1 cost (by 0.21 USD/lb) was mainly caused by the weakening of the Polish zloty versus the US dollar by 5% and the increase in silver and gold prices. C1 cost for the first 9 months of 2016, calculated using the prices of associated metals and exchange rates for the first 9 months of 2015, amounts to 1.50 USD/lb and is at the same level as during the corresponding period of 2015.

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 19 776 PLN/t (in the comparable period of 2015: 19 830 PLN/t) and was lower by 0.3% mainly due to the lower minerals extraction tax by 632 PLN/t alongside lower production from own concentrate by 12%. The total unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate amounted to 12 830 PLN/t (for the first 9 months of 2015: 14 395 PLN/t).

*** Value of production volume of all metals calculated as a copper equivalent, based on market prices – from own concentrate

In the first 9 months of 2016, copper production in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. amounted to 68.9 thousand tonnes and was lower by 4.4 thousand tonnes (-6%) as compared to the corresponding period of 2015.

The lower copper production by the Robinson mine by 2.3 thousand tonnes (-5%) in the first three quarters of 2016 as compared to the corresponding period of 2015 was due to the lower amount of ore processed caused by the extended maintenance shutdown of the floatation thickening unit. These factors were partially offset by the extraction of ore with a higher copper grade and by improved technological parameters. The lower amount of ore processed by this mine likewise led to a decrease in gold production, from 43.0 thousand troy ounces to 36.3 thousand troy ounces (-16%), which was partially offset by an increase in the content of this metal in ore.

In the mines of the Sudbury Basin in the first 9 months of 2016, there was an increase both in the production of copper by 1.1 thousand tonnes (+11%) due to the higher content of this metal in ore (7.30% as compared to 5.70% in the corresponding period of 2015) as well as increase in the production of TPMs by 8.6 thousand troy ounces (+32%).

The sales revenue of the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first 9 months of 2016 amounted to USD 450 million, and were lower by USD 74 million (-14%) due to lower sales volumes of copper and precious metals as well as due to unfavourable macroeconomic conditions, reflected in the lower achieved sales prices of copper and nickel. The lower revenue from sales of copper by USD 86 million (-22%) is the result of the lower sales volume of this metal by 9.3 thousand tonnes (-12%) as well as due to the lower achieved sales price of 4 740 USD/t in the first three quarters of 2016 as compared to 5 291 USD/t in the corresponding period of 2015 (-10%).

The increase in revenues from precious metals sales by USD 6 million (+9%) is the result of the higher achieved price of gold, from 1 207 USD/oz t to 1 370 USD/oz t (+14%).

The unit cash cost of copper production for all operations in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first 9 months of 2016 amounted to 1.60 USD/lb, and was lower by 16% as compared to the corresponding period of 2015. The decrease in C1 cost is due to a decrease in production costs as a result of savings initiatives undertaken, which was partially offset by the lower volume of copper sales.

Cash expenditures on tangible and intangible fixed assets by the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first 9 months of 2016 amounted to USD 94 million and were lower by USD 120 million (-56%) as compared to the corresponding period 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 three quarters of 2015 was due to a decrease in the scope 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 projects of the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first 9 months of 2016 amounted to USD 34 million, of which USD 20 million were on the Victoria project, USD 7 million were on the Ajax project and USD 7 million were incurred on the Sierra Gorda Oxide project. Analyses continue which are required to take a decision regarding advancement of these projects.

In the first three quarters of 2016, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group provided financing, through KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD., to the Sierra Gorda mine in the amount of USD 85 million (as an increase in share capital) in order to maintain its liquidity given the continuation of unfavourable macroeconomic conditions.

3.7.3 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 methodology of data presentation described in Note 3.2, Part 1.

In the first half of 2015 the Sierra Gorda S.C.M. mine was under construction, while production at the commercial level was achieved at the end of June 2015. The completion of construction was a necessary condition to cease capitalisation of expenditures and income, and at the same time to recognise the first financial result. Consequently, the financial data presented below with respect to the corresponding period of 2015 only comprise the third quarter of 2015. At the same time the economic situation of the company in the third quarter of 2016 is primarily presented in relation to the second quarter of 2016.

This does not apply however to production and investments, which in 2015 also comprise the period prior to the commencement of commercial production.

In the third quarter of 2016, copper production amounted to 20.5 thousand tonnes, or a decrease compared to copper production in the second quarter by 7%, which was mainly related to the processing of material with lower Cu content. It should be pointed out that, at the same time, the amount of ore processed as well as the level of copper recovery in both quarters was at a similar level.

The increase in molybdenum content in processed ore had an impact on payable molybdenum production, which in the third quarter was higher by 25%.

Sales revenue

After the first three quarters of 2016, revenues from the sale of products less treatment and refining charges (TC/RC) amounted to USD 449 million (PLN 1 763 million).

In the third quarter of 2016, revenues from copper sales increased by 19%, due to the higher sales volume (in the second quarter of 2016 the schedule of deliveries was interrupted by storms affecting the port of Antofagasta).

The high iron content in molybdenum concentrate had a substantial negative impact on its quality, which resulted in a longer processing cycle and substantially reduced molybdenum sales volume. In addition, in the third quarter of 2016 there was a decrease in the effective price achieved from molybdenum sales. This decrease in sales price and volume led to lower revenues from molybdenum sales by USD 56 million (a decrease from USD 72 million in the second quarter to USD 16 million in the third quarter).

Costs

The cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses incurred in the first three quarters of 2016 amounted to USD 671 million (PLN 2 631 million), including cost of sales of USD 36 million (PLN 140 million) and administrative expenses of USD 57 million (PLN 225 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 by-product value.

The cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses increased in the third quarter of 2016 by 9% compared to the second quarter. Apart from those factors which caused an increase in individual costs items, the increase was also due to an increase in the volume of copper sales.

The following expenses by nature were significant, and together account for 79% of total costs (prior to a deduction by capitalised costs of pre-stripping to gain access to further areas of the deposit and the change in inventories).

  • External services costs an increase by 4% (third quarter of 2016 versus second quarter of 2016) due to a higher number of hours and a change in tariffs,
  • Depreciation/amortisation an increase by 9%, mainly due to amortisation of deferred stripping,
  • Cost of materials, energy and fuel an increase by 12% mainly due to higher prices of blasting materials, floatation reagents and fuels, as well as to an increase in the costs of spare parts due to a higher number of downtime incidents,
  • Remuneration costs an increase by 5% due to severance payments and social expenditures.

These factors mainly impacted ore processing costs, which calculated per tonne of processed ore increased by 14%. The mine's operating cash costs were at a similar level to those recorded in the second quarter of 2016, with higher ore and waste rock extraction, and as a result the unit cost was lower by 4%.

In the three quarters of 2016, the unit cash cost of copper production (C1) amounted to 1.91 USD/lb. The increase of this cost in the third quarter of 2016 versus the second quarter was mainly due to the lower sales volume, and consequently lower revenues from molybdenum sales (revenues from by-product sales are deducted when calculating C1 cost).

Financial performance

After the first three quarters of 2016, EBITDA amounted to USD 58 million, or PLN 226 million, of which PLN 124 million is attributable to the KGHM Group proportionally to its interest (55%).

The negative EBITDA recorded in the third quarter of 2016 was due to the decrease in revenues and higher costs discussed in previous subchapters. Moreover, interest costs associated with the financing of the mine construction from borrowings and owner loans impacted the amount of loss.

Cash expenditures on tangible and intangible fixed assets

In the first three quarters of 2016, cash expenditures on tangible and intangible fixed assets amounted to USD 212 million (PLN 831 million), of which 63% 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 still under construction, while in the third quarter of 2016 there was no substantial difference in the amounts of expenditures incurred from those in the second quarter of 2016.

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 155 million, of which USD 85 million was provided by the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. As at 30 September 2016, the carrying amount of the owner loan amounted to USD 3 705 million, while its increase by USD 215 million as compared to the level at the end of 2015 was mainly due to accrued interest (in the first three quarters of 2016 there was no owner loan financing).

The fair value of financial instruments

The manner and technique for measuring financial instruments to fair value have not changed in comparison to the manner and technique for measurement as at 31 December 2015.

There was no transfer in the Group of financial instruments between individual levels of the fair value hierarchy, in either the reporting or the comparable periods, nor was there any change in the classification of instruments as a result of a change in the purpose or use of these instruments.

Note 4.7 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 Group in market risk management is the use of hedging strategies involving derivatives. Natural hedging is also used. 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

Impact of measurement of hedging transactions (effective portion) 26 40
Reclassification to sales revenues due to realisation of a hedged item (12) (343)
TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (68) (95)

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 third quarter of 2016 represented approx. 8% of the total sales of this metal realised by the Parent Entity. Silver price hedging transactions represented approx. 6% of the total sales of this metal realised in the third quarter of 2016. However, in the case of currency transactions, approx. 38% of total revenues from metals sales realised by the Parent Entity during the period were hedged.

In the third quarter of 2016 the Parent Entity implemented copper price hedging transactions with a total notional amount of 52.5 thousand tonnes and a hedging horizon falling from October 2016 to June 2017. Put options were purchased (Asian options). In the third quarter of 2016, there were no hedging transactions implemented for the silver, currency and interest rate markets.

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 September 2016, following their translation to PLN, the bank loans and the investment loan which were drawn in USD amounted to PLN 7 758 million.

As a result, as at 30 September 2016, the Parent Entity held a hedging position in derivatives for 52.5 thousand tonnes of copper (for the period from October 2016 to June 2017), 3.38 million ounces of silver (for the period from October 2016 to December 2017) as well as for the planned revenues from sales of metals in the amount of USD 1 590 million, including: USD 330 million for the period from October 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 fourth quarter of 2016 (quarterly notional amount of USD 700 million), for 2017 (average quarterly notional amount of USD 700 million) and for 2018 (average quarterly notional amount of USD 900 million). In addition, natural hedging on the interest rates market included two instalments of the loan from the European Investment Bank (in the amounts of USD 300 million and USD 100 million) which were drawn based on a fixed interest rate. The first instalment of the loan granted by the European Investment Bank (in the amount of USD 300 million) was designated as a hedging of 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 September 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:

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):

Medium from BBB+ to BBB- according to S&P and Fitch, and from Baa1 to Baa3
according to Moody's
1% 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 September 2016 the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 29% (as at 31 December 2015: 58%).

Due to diversification of risk in terms of both the nature of individual entities and of their geographical location, as well as to cooperation with medium-high and medium-rated financial institutions, the Group is not materially exposed to credit risk arising from derivatives' transactions entered into.

In order to reduce cash flows and at the same time to 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.

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 4.8 Liquidity risk and capital management

Liquidity and capital 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.

The management of financial liquidity in the Parent Entity is performed in accordance with the Financial Liquidity Management Policy approved by the Management Board. In KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. liquidity management principles are described in the Investment Policy.

Under the process of liquidity management, the Group utilises instruments which enhance its effectiveness. One of the primary instruments used by the Group is the cash pool management service, locally in PLN, USD and EUR and internationally in USD.

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

In order to maintain financial liquidity and the creditworthiness to acquire external financing at an optimum cost, the Group aims to maintain the equity ratio, in the long-term, at a level of not less than 0.5, and the ratio of Net Debt/EBITDA at a level of up to 2.0.

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 and Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (joint venture) do not have to use their cash in order to secure their liabilities towards other entities.

As at 30 September 2016, the Group held contingent liabilities due to guarantees and letters of credit granted in the total amount of PLN 1 675 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 securing the agreements concluded by:

  • a) Sierra Gorda S.C.M. security related to the performance of concluded agreements in the amount of PLN 1 213 million:
  • a letter of credit of PLN 530 million, granted as security for the proper performance of a long-term contract for the supply of electricity;
  • corporate guarantees of PLN 280 million, set as security on the payment of concluded lease agreements;
  • corporate guarantees of PLN 403 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;
  • b) other entities of the Group:
  • securing restoration costs of the Robinson mine, the Podolsky mine and the Victoria project and obligations related to the proper performance of contracts entered into in the amount of PLN 358 million by the Group,
  • securing the proper execution of future environmental obligations of the Parent Entity related to the obligation to restore terrain around the Żelazny Most tailings storage facility following the conclusion of its operations in the total amount of PLN 320 million (a bank guarantee of PLN 96 million and an own promissory note of PLN 224 million).

Based on analysis and forecasts, at the end of the reporting period the Group assessed the probability of payments resulting from contingent liabilities related to:

  • Sierra Gorda S.C.M. as moderate,
  • other entities of the Group as low.

In the current quarter, no individual transactions were identified between the Group and the Polish Government and entities controlled or jointly controlled by the Polish Government, or over which the Polish Government has significant influence, which would be considered as significant in terms of unusual scope and amount.

The remaining transactions, which were collectively significant, between the Group and the Polish Government and with entities controlled or jointly controlled by the Polish Government, or over which the Polish Government has significant influence, were within the scope of normal, daily economic operations, carried out at arm's length. These transactions concerned the purchase of materials and services to meet the needs of current operating activities (fuel, energy, transport services). In the period from 1 January 2016 to 30 September 2016, the turnover from these transactions amounted to PLN 450 million (from 1 January 2015 to 30 September 2015: PLN 480 million), and, as at 30 September 2016, the unsettled balance of liabilities from these transactions amounted to PLN 397 million (as at 31 December 2015: PLN 241 million).
