| Development of the Sierra Gorda project (Chile) |
Phase 2 (KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. 55%, Sumitomo Metal Mining and Sumitomo - Corporation 45%) - in the first quarter of 2016 work was completed on preparing the Basic Engineering technical document. The process of reviewing and optimising technical assumptions 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 the present time to make a decision as to the commencement of Phase 2. Sierra Gorda Oxide (project for processing of the oxide ore) – advanced engineering work - was carried out aimed at preparing a feasibility study for the project. Engineering and design work continued on selecting a project concept which will maximise its economic value. In the first quarter of 2016 it was determined that the oxide ore processing project requires − further studies and strategic analyses as to the feasibility of its realisation. Work is underway on reviewing and optimising the project's technical and economic assumptions; this work includes, among others, the analysis of alternative project scenarios. |
| Ajax project (British Columbia, Canada) KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group 80%, Abacus Mining and Exploration Corp. 20% |
In January 2016, work on a NI 43-101 compliant technical report was completed, which − updated the assumptions of the feasibility study from December 2011. The report presents the results of over 3 years of work by the Team, comprising the completion of basic engineering work and optimisation of the operations of the future Mine. In accordance with the published regulatory filing, the Project is characterised by a positive NPV at the level of USD 429 million (pre-tax) and a return on investment period of 6 and a half years. Average unit C1 cost over the 18 year life-of-mine is estimated to be at 1.37 USD/lb. The current estimated initial capital expenditures amount to USD 1.307 billion. − On 18 January 2016 the updated application was submitted to the appropriate administrative body, which commenced a 75-day social consultation period. At the same time, during the period 15,16 and 17 February an "open house" was held for the citizens of the town of Kamloops, during which the most important aspects of the construction of the Ajax open-pit mine were presented. Negotiations are underway with First Nations regarding establishing final financing terms − related to the construction and operation of the mine under the customary laws of British Columbia. The signing of an agreement would be associated with the withdrawal of a claim in which First Nations demand the return of rights to the terrain on which the Ajax plant is to be located. The claim was directed at 3 entities: Canada, the province of British Columbia and KGHM AJAX MINING INC. An additional review will be performed, aimed at analysing the risk of substantially higher − capital expenditures in respect of the Ajax project as compared to the amounts initially anticipated, given the review of the feasibility study which is currently underway on this project. |

| KGHM INTERNATIONAL | The production of copper in concentrate from the Sierra Gorda mine in the first quarter of − |
| LTD. 55% Sumitomo Metal Mining and Sumitomo Corporation 45% |
2016 amounted to around 26 thousand tonnes. The production of molybdenum in concentrate from the Sierra Gorda mine in the first quarter of 2016 amounted to around 4 thousand tonnes. |
| Due to the macroeconomic situation and to the lower than expected production results, − work continued on implementing savings initiatives, such as renegotiating contracts to |
|
| reduce contracted prices, optimising inventories levels and reducing employment. On 8 March 2016, the Chilean Environmental Enforcement Agency, in a public − announcement, indicated areas in which there may have occurred breaches in the scope of the environmental permit issued to the Sierra Gorda mine. A response to the Agency's concerns was submitted on 5 April 2016. The cost of adapting the mine's operations to the requirements of the Agency is estimated at approx. USD 16 million. A reply to the position taken by Sierra Gorda is expected in June 2016. |
|
| − During the course of operations, Sierra Gorda operation identified significantly higher than-initially-planned levels of partially oxidised ASCu as well as clay and pyrite in the deposit's transition zone. This fact directly limits the efficiency of processing the ore, reduces the recovery rates for copper and molybdenum during the operation period sourced from the transition zone. Possible impact on the future recovery rate is being assessed. |
|
| To date, the Sierra Gorda project has not yet achieved a portion of the operating and − efficiency parameters set forth in the key contracts related to the project (comprising in particular debt financing and electricity supply) to be achieved by the end of 2016. In addition to the challenges with achieving efficiency parameters current low metal prices are also influencing the level of generating cash flows. Therefore, the following actions have been taken: a review of the Life of Mine operating plan has started, a more robust plan is being implemented to reduce costs and to enhance operational efficiency and discussions have been initiated to renegotiate the terms of key contracts. |
|
| Maintaining production from own concentrate |
− Preparatory work was carried out on commencing mining in new areas of the deposits as part of the Deep Głogów 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), − optimising management of underground machines (purchasing and servicing, availability), automation of production lines in the mines and concentrators, − − more efficient management of production infrastructure, implementation of an energy savings program, and − optimising employment levels. − |

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 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 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 is not a measure defined by IFRS. As adjusted EBITDA is not a standardised measure, the calculation of adjusted EBITDA 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 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.

** 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 (total cost of products, merchandise and materials sold, selling costs and administrative expenses) in the first quarter of 2016 amounted to PLN 2 520 million and were lower by PLN 378 million as compared to the same period in 2015 due to a lower volume of copper and silver sales as well as 1% lower expenses by nature.
In the first 3 months of 2016, expenses by nature were lower by PLN 38 million as compared to the first 3 months of 2015, alongside higher costs of consumption of purchased metal-bearing materials by PLN 85 million (volume of consumption was lower by 8 thousand tonnes of Cu, while the purchase price was lower by 10%) and a lower, by PLN 100 million, minerals extraction tax.
After excluding the value of purchased metal-bearing materials and the minerals extraction tax, expenses by nature were similar to those recorded in the comparable period of 2015 and were lower by 1%, or by PLN 23 million.
C1 cost amounted to 1.46 USD/lb for the first quarter of 2015 and 1.33 USD/lb for the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in C1 cost (by 0.13 USD/lb) was mainly caused by the weakening of the Polish zloty (by 6%) as compared to the US dollar. C1 cost for the first 3 months of 2016, calculated using the prices of associated metals and exchange rates for the first quarter of 2015, amounted to 1.45 USD/lb and is at the same level as in the previous year.
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 19 671 PLN/t (in the comparable period of 2015: 19 725 PLN/t). The cost's decrease was mainly due to a lower, by 526 PLN/t, minerals extraction tax alongside the unfavourable impact of a decrease in production from own concentrate by 16%. The total unit cost of electrolytic copper production from own concentrate amounted to 13 590 PLN/t (in the comparable period of 2015: 13 532 PLN/t).

After the first 3 months of 2016, the Parent Entity achieved a profit in the amount of PLN 370 million, which (apart from the profit on sales of PLN 459 million) was mainly impacted by the following:
• foreign exchange losses: -PLN 30 million.
Profit for the period is lower, by PLN 127 million or 26%, as compared to the corresponding period of 2015, mainly due to the deterioration in macroeconomic conditions and the resulting decrease in revenues which was described above. Detailed information on the main reasons for the change in the profit or loss is presented in the table below:
| Increase in revenues from sales of the basic products (Cu, Ag, Au) due to a more favourable average USD/PLN exchange rate (change from 3.73 to 3.96 USD/PLN) |

In the first quarter of 2016, cash expenditures on intangible and tangible investments amounted to PLN 820 million and were higher than in the corresponding period in 2015 by 24%. Meanwhile, capital expenditures on intangible and tangible investments amounted to PLN 550 million and were higher by 32% than expenditures incurred in the corresponding period in 2015, and comprised:
The higher level of cash expenditures incurred as compared to capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2016 was due to cash spending being deferred as compared to capital expenditures pursuant to contractual payment dates as well as to prepayments and expenditures related to mining fees which were not recognised in the capital expenditures of the period. Information on the advancement of key investment projects may be found in the part of the report dedicated to the Implementation of Strategy.

In the first quarter of 2016, copper production in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. amounted to 23.7 thousand tonnes and was higher by 2.1 thousand tonnes as compared to the same period of 2015. The increase in volume was mainly influenced by the Robinson mine, whose copper production increased by 2.5 thousand tonnes, or by 21%. This mine's increase in production was a result of extracting higher quality ore from the lower levels of the Ruth East pit and therefore an improvement in technological parameters. In March 2016, the Robinson mine achieved a record level of copper recovery of 91.6%. The Morrison mine also contributed to the increase in the volume of copper production, in which ore with higher copper content was extracted in the first quarter of 2016.
The increase in the production of precious metals by 2.2 thousand troy ounces, or by 11%, was mainly due to the higher production of gold in the Robinson mine which was a result of mining ore with higher gold content and increased recovery of this metal. There was a decrease in the production of precious metals by the Sudbury Basin mines (by 0.5 koz t) due to the suspension of mining operations by the McCreedy mine starting from the fourth quarter of 2015 due to the continuing unfavourable macroeconomic situation.

KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.'s copper sales decreased by 0.5 thousand tonnes (-2%) in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first three months of 2015. In contrast to production, the lower sales volume was due to the sales schedule of this metal. The deterioration in macroeconomic conditions had a significant impact on the amount of revenues from sales of copper; this was reflected in the lower selling price of copper, which amounted to 4 718 USD/t as compared to 5 556 USD/t in the first quarter of 2015 (-15%).
The increase in revenues from sales of precious metals by USD 5 million (+25%) was due to the higher level of production, and therefore to gold sales, by the Robinson mine (+ 2.2 koz t).

| Cash cost of producing copper – C1* | USD/lb | 1.48 | 2.21 | 67.0 |
* 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.
In the first quarter of 2016, the unit cash cost of copper production for all operations in the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. amounted to 1.48 USD/lb, or a decrease by 33% as compared to the first three months of 2015. This decrease was mainly due to the Robinson mine, in which this cost in the first three months of 2016 was at the level of 1.12 USD/lb (in comparison to 1.91 USD/lb in the comparable period in 2015). This reduction of the C1 cost is a result of decreasing costs by savings initiatives undertaken and achieving economies of scale related to the increase in copper and precious metals production. Revenues from sales of precious metals decrease the C1 cost.

In the first quarter of 2016, the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses decreased by USD 63 million, or by 30%, compared to the first three months of 2015. This cost reduction was a result of lower depreciation/amortisation (by USD 43 million, or 57%) which resulted from the impairment losses in the fourth quarter of 2015. Moreover, the costs in the first quarter of 2015 were increased by the higher depreciation/amortisation, which was a result of the settlement of capitalised costs associated with pre-stripping in the Robinson mine in an earlier period.
Cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation/amortisation) decreased by USD 20 million, or 15%, as a result of continued implementation of savings initiatives. The Robinson mine contributed the most to decreasing the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses, as the mine's cost of sales (excluding depreciation/amortisation) was reduced by USD 15 million, or 25%, mainly due to lower remuneration costs as a result of employment reductions, lower consumption of spare parts (monitoring the consumption of components of the fleet of transport vehicles), reduction of costs of external services (leases, consulting services, repairs) and due to lower fuel prices.
Despite the unfavourable macroeconomic conditions, reflected in a decrease of achieved sales prices for copper by 15% and nickel by 33%, as a result of a decrease in the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses, in the first quarter of 2016 the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD recorded a profit on sales of USD 3 million (as compared to a loss of USD 44 million in the corresponding period in 2015).
In the first quarter of 2016 the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. recorded a loss for the period of USD 70 million (as compared to a loss of USD 48 million incurred in the corresponding period in 2015). Profit/loss for the period was negatively impacted by the share of losses of Sierra Gorda S.C.M in the amount of USD 56 million. Excluding the result of Sierra Gorda, the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.'s loss for the period would amount to approximately USD 14 million – which would be a decrease by USD 34 million as compared to the first quarter of 2015.
Continued cost discipline, under unfavourable metals prices, led to a higher adjusted EBITDA, from USD 31 million in the first quarter of 2015 to USD 35 million in the first quarter of 2016 (+13%).

Capital expenditures of the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in the first quarter of 2016 amounted to USD 45 million, which means a decrease by USD 15 million (-25%) as compared to the analogous prior year period.
Around 40% of the expenditures were incurred by the Robinson mine and were mainly due to pre-stripping work. This level decreased as compared to the first quarter of 2015 as a result of limiting the scope of work related to the pre-stripping of areas under current operation. Work is underway on optimising the mine's long-term development scenario.
Expenditures related to the Victoria project in the amount of USD 16 million concerned the construction of infrastructure, including a power substation and a drilling program. As a result of the presentation of expenditures based on cash flow, cash expenditures in the amount of USD 5 million were in respect of work carried out in 2015.
With respect to the Sierra Gorda Oxide project, work in the first quarter of 2016 concentrated on analysing the project's possible development concepts.
Capital expenditures related to the Ajax project amounted to USD 3 million and were incurred to prepare an application for an environmental permit as well as the review of basic technical documentation by independent consultants. In the first quarter of 2016 the segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. continued to finance the Sierra Gorda mine in the amount of USD 44 million, which was related to continuation of the ramp-up phase to achieve target production capacity.
The segment Sierra Gorda 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 was presented on a 100% basis for the joint venture, unless otherwise indicated.

* Payable metal in concentrate. Apart from copper and molybdenum the mine also produces gold and silver – metals of less significance (12% of revenues from sales)
In the first quarter of 2016 copper production amounted to 26 thousand tonnes, which means an increase of 53% as compared to the analogous period of 2015 and 8% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. It should be noted that in the first half of 2015 the mine was still in the construction stage.
Molybdenum production began on 14 April 2015, and since then production efficiency has improved, as demonstrated by the systematic increase in technological parameters. As a result, molybdenum production in the first quarter of 2016 amounted to 4 thousand tonnes, which is over 40% of the volume produced since the start of commercial production (i.e. from July 2015 to the end of the first quarter of 2016).
In the first quarter of 2016 the mine's processing capacity was above the average level of 100 thousand tonnes per day, and in many instances the projected level (110 thousand tonnes) was significantly exceeded. The company's next objective in the coming months is to further improve and optimise technological parameters, and therefore to ensure stable production levels in the long-term.

In the first quarter of 2016 sales revenue amounted to USD 146 million (PLN 575 million), while sales volumes were respectively: 23 thousand tonnes of copper and 2.6 thousand tonnes of molybdenum.
As compared to the previous, last quarter of 2015, revenues decreased by 8%, mainly due to further deterioration of copper prices and to lower sales volumes: copper by 13% and molybdenum by 24%. It should be noted that during the same period the production of both metals did not decrease, while the increase in inventories of finished products was due to delays in the shipment schedule.

Cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses incurred by Sierra Gorda S.C.M. amounted to USD 185 million (PLN 730 million), including cost of sales of USD 12 million (PLN 48 million), and administrative expenses of USD 21 million (PLN 82 million). The following expenses by nature were significant:
The aforementioned costs categories represented in total nearly 80% of total costs prior to decrease by capitalised costs related to accessing the deposit for future mining as well as to the change in inventories.
During the quarter, cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses decreased from USD 257 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 (excluding impairment loss at the level of Sierra Gorda S.C.M.) to USD 185 million after the first three months of 2016. Apart from the lower sales volume, costs were also lower due to initiatives being implemented to improve production efficiency, with the ultimate goal of achieving positive operating cash flow by the company. This decrease mainly concerned:
In the first quarter of 2016 the unit cash cost of copper production (C1) amounted to 1.73 USD/lb, which is a significant decrease as compared to the level reached in the last quarter of 2015 (2.56 USD/lb). This improvement is mainly due to the aforementioned decrease in operating costs.
Apart from the results of the segment reflecting data respective to the interest of the Group in the joint venture (55%), the following table also presents the results of the company Sierra Gorda S.C.M. on a 100% basis. Sierra Gorda S.C.M. has prepared a statement of profit or loss since the start of commercial production, i.e. from 1 July 2015, and therefore data for the first quarter of 2015 is not presented.

In the first quarter of 2016, EBITDA amounted to USD 39 million, or PLN 153 million, while in previous quarters, since the start of commercial production, adjusted EBITDA was negative. The improvement in this ratio was mainly due to the aforementioned increase in production results and to the decrease in unit operating costs.
In the first quarter of 2016, expenditures on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets recognised in the statement of cash flows amounted to USD 113 million (PLN 447 million), of which 41% were expenditures incurred on pre-stripping to gain access to further areas of the deposit.
In the first quarter of 2016, the main source of financing investments were the short-term loan (USD 113 million) and increases in share capital in the amount of USD 80 million, of which USD 44 million was provided by the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. As at 31 March 2016, the carrying amount of the owner loan amounted to USD 3 559 million, while the increase of USD 69 million as compared to the level at the end of 2015 was mainly due to accrued interest (in the first quarter there was no owner loan financing).

In management of commodity, currency and interest rate risk, the scale and profile of activities of the Parent Entity and of mining companies of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group is of the greatest significance and 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 utilisation 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 of statement of profit or loss of the Group and on the items of statement of comprehensive income is presented below:

| Impact of measurement of hedging transactions (effective portion) | 54 | (15) | |
| Reclassification to sales revenues due to realisation of a hedged item | 4 | (118) | |
| TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE INCOME | 98 | (248) |
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 quarter of 2016 represented approx. 3% of the total sales of this metal realised by the Parent Entity. In the case of currency transactions, approx. 48% of total revenues from metals sales realised by the Parent Entity during the period were hedged.
In the first quarter 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. Put options were purchased (Asian options). In the reporting period, there were no hedging transactions implemented for the silver market.
However, on the currency market in the first quarter 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 (European options) with maturity dates falling from January to December 2016.
With respect to managing currency risk, which arises from borrowing, the Parent Entity uses natural hedging by borrowing in currencies in which it has revenues.
As at 31 March 2016, following their translation to PLN, the bank loans and the investment loan which were drawn in USD amounted to PLN 7 031 million.
As a result, as at 31 March 2016, the Parent Entity held a hedging position in derivatives for 31.5 thousand tonnes of copper (for the period from April to September 2016) and for the planned revenues from sales of metals in the amount of USD 2 250 million, including: USD 990 million for the period from April to December 2016, USD 1 020 million for 2017 and USD 240 million for 2018. The Parent Entity held also open derivatives' transactions on the interest rate market for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2016 (average quarterly notional amount of USD 600 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 31 March 2016 is not presented, due to its low significance for the Group.
The condensed tables of open transactions in derivatives owned by the Parent Entity on the copper, 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):
| Rating level | 1st quarter of 2016 | 2015 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medium-high | from A+ to A- according to S&P and Fitch, and from A1 to A3 according to Moody's |
94% | 97% |
| Medium | from BBB+ to BBB- according to S&P and Fitch, and from Baa1 to Baa3 according to Moody's |
6% | 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 31 March 2016 the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 30% (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.
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 assumes that the equity ratio shall be maintained 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.
| Ratio | Calculation | 1st quarter of 2016 | 2015 |

| Net Debt/EBITDA * | Relation of net debt to EBITDA | 1.5 | 1.4 |
