Orange Polska S.A. ("Orange Polska" or "the Company" or "OPL S.A."), a joint stock company, was incorporated and commenced its operations on 4 December 1991. The Orange Polska Group ("the Group") comprises Orange Polska and its subsidiaries. Orange Polska shares are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
The Group is the principal provider of telecommunications services in Poland. The Group provides mobile and fixed telecommunications services, including calls, messaging, content, access to the Internet and TV. In addition, the Group provides ICT (Information and Communications Technology) services, leased lines and other telecommunications value added services, sells telecommunications equipment, provides data transmission, constructs telecommunications infrastructure, sells electrical energy and financial services.
Orange Polska's registered office is located in Warsaw at 160 Aleje Jerozolimskie St.
The list of entities included in the Condensed IFRS Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group (the "Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements") as at and for the 9 months ended 30 September 2016 is presented in Note 1.2 to the Orange Polska Group IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto ("IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements") for the year ended 31 December 2015. Additionally, TPSA Eurofinance France S.A. was liquidated in June 2016.
On 30 September 2016, the merger of Orange Polska S.A. and its fully owned subsidiaries – Orange Customer Service Sp. z o.o. and TP Invest Sp. z o.o. – was registered in the Commercial Court. The merger was effected by transferring all assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries to OPL S.A.
The Group reports a single operating segment as decisions about resources to be allocated and assessment of performance are made on consolidated basis. Segment performance is evaluated by the Management Board mainly based on consolidated revenue, consolidated EBITDA, consolidated net income, consolidated organic cash flows, consolidated capital expenditures and consolidated net financial debt / restated EBITDA ratio based on cumulative restated EBITDA for the last four quarters.
To give a better representation of underlying performance, revenue from the Group's activities is restated for the impact of changes in the scope of consolidation. Restatements for the 9 months ended 30 September 2016 and 2015 are presented in the table below.
EBITDA is the key measure of operating profitability used by the Management Board and corresponds to operating income before depreciation and amortisation expense and impairment of non-current assets. To give a better representation of underlying performance, EBITDA is restated for the impact of changes in the scope of consolidation, employment termination programs, restructuring costs, significant claims, litigation and other risks and other significant non-recurring items. Restatements for the 9 months ended 30 September 2016 and 2015 are presented in the table below.
Organic cash flows are the key measure of cash flow generation used by the Management Board and correspond to net cash provided by operating activities decreased by purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, changes in amounts due to fixed assets suppliers, impact of net exchange rate effect paid/received on derivatives economically hedging capital expenditures and increased by proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. To give a better representation of underlying performance, organic cash flows are restated for the payments for acquisition of telecommunications licences and payments relating to significant claims, litigation and other risks. Restatements for the 9 months ended 30 September 2016 and 2015 are presented in the table below.
Capital expenditures are the key measure of resources allocation used by the Management Board and represent acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. To give a better representation of underlying performance, capital expenditures are restated for the impact of acquisition of telecommunications licences. Restatements for the 9 months ended 30 September 2016 and 2015 are presented in the table below.
Net financial debt / restated EBITDA ratio is the key measure of financial structure and liquidity used by the Management Board. The Management Board believes that this ratio is the most relevant measure and therefore net gearing ratio is no longer used. The calculation of net financial debt is presented in Note 7.

These unaudited Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") and with all accounting standards applicable to interim financial reporting adopted by the European Union, issued and effective as at the time of preparing the Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements (see also Note 4).
These Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.
The Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and selected explanatory notes.
Costs that arise unevenly during the year are anticipated or deferred in the quarterly financial statements only if it would also be appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the year.
These Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in millions of Polish zloty ("PLN") and were authorised for issuance by the Management Board on 24 October 2016.
There were no new standards or interpretations issued from the date when the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 were issued.
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the Condensed Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements are materially consistent with those described in Notes 2 and 31 to the audited IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.
From the fourth quarter of 2015, the Group reassesses the recoverable amount of trade and other receivables at their disposal date and presents gain on disposal on a net basis. As a result, the comparative amounts of other operating expense and income for the 9 months ended 30 September 2015 were decreased by PLN 92 million without impact on the consolidated net income.
From the second quarter of 2016, the Group classifies finance lease receivables as trade receivables and cash inflows from finance lease are presented as net cash provided by operating activities. As a result, PLN 14 million was reclassified from other assets to trade receivables in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015. The comparative amounts in the consolidated statement of cash flows were adjusted accordingly: cash inflows from finance lease repaid by a lessee were reclassified from net cash used in investing activities to the line presenting increase/decrease in trade receivables, gross in net cash provided by operating activities.
The Group's activities are not subject to any significant seasonality or cyclical trends of operations.
In the first quarter of 2016, the Group signed with Trade Unions agreements that amended the value of retirement bonuses and jubilee awards paid to employees. Employees are no longer entitled to retirement bonuses higher than those set out in the Polish labour law if the retirement takes place after 31 December 2017. The agreements reduce also an average value of a jubilee award paid to employees upon completion of a certain number of years of service – for payments due after 2020. As a result, a credit of PLN 94 million was recognised in labour expense in the first quarter of 2016 with a corresponding release of the liabilities relating to long-term employee benefits.
On 25 January 2016, the Group received decisions in which the President of UKE granted Orange Polska the frequencies in the 800 MHz and 2600 MHz bands for a total amount of PLN 3,168 million declared in the auction. On the basis of these decisions, Orange Polska received the licenses for two blocks of 2x5 MHz each in the 800 MHz band and licenses for three blocks of 2x5 MHz each in the 2600 MHz band. The licenses are valid for 15 years from the date of receipt of the decisions. In February 2016, Orange Polska paid the whole amount less PLN 20 million of deposit paid in 2014 before the auction. The amortisation of the above-mentioned frequencies began on 1 March 2016 and the amortisation charge amounted to PLN 124 million in the 9 months ended 30 September 2016. Additionally, the amount of cash flows from investing activities for the 9 months ended 30 September 2015 includes PLN 741 million of the deposit paid in the course of the above-mentioned auction.
From 2016, as a result of annual asset lives review, the Group extended the estimated useful lives for certain network assets which decreased the depreciation expense by PLN 235 million in the 9 months ended 30 September 2016. Depreciation expense in 2016 is expected to be lower by approximately PLN 300 million than in 2015.
The amount of trade payables subject to reverse factoring increased from PLN 15 million as at 31 December 2015 to PLN 50 million as at 30 September 2016. These payables are presented together with the remaining balance of trade payables, as analysis conducted by the Group indicates they have retained their trade nature.

On 3 February 2016, the Group and Atlas Services Belgium S.A., a subsidiary of Orange S.A., concluded a Loan Agreement for PLN 2,700 million with repayment date in 2021. On 31 March 2016, the Group repaid EUR 280 million of the Credit Facility Agreement signed on 17 April 2013 with Atlas Services Belgium S.A. Additionally, in the 9 months ended 30 September 2016, the net cash flows from issuance and repayments of the Revolving Credit Facility from Atlas Services Belgium S.A. amounted to PLN 1,600 million.
As at 30 September 2016, the total outstanding balance of loans from the related party amounted to PLN 7,260 million, including accrued interest and arrangement fees. The weighted average effective interest rate on loans from the related party amounted to 1.91% before swaps and 3.32% after swaps as at 30 September 2016.
In the 9 months ended 30 September 2016 the Group entered into new derivative transactions under the agreement with Orange S.A. hedging interest rate risk on the related party financing provided in PLN.
The total nominal amount of cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps outstanding under the agreement as at 30 September 2016 was EUR 670 million and PLN 4,750 million, respectively, with a total negative fair value amounting to PLN 24 million.
Derivative instruments are measured subsequent to their initial recognition at fair value. The fair value of derivatives is determined as described in Note 21 to the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015. Significant inputs to the valuation technique used by the Group to measure the fair value of derivatives are classified to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy described in Note 22.1.
The carrying amount of the Group's financial instruments approximates their fair value, except for telecommunications licence payables for which as at 30 September 2016 and 31 December 2015 the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying amount by PLN 169 million and PLN 182 million, respectively, due to significant change between the original effective interest rates and current market rates.
On 12 April 2016, the General Meeting of Orange Polska S.A. adopted a resolution on the payment of an ordinary dividend of PLN 0.25 per share from the 2015 profit and retained earnings from previous years. The total dividend, paid on 7 July 2016, amounted to PLN 328 million.
The information hereunder refers to the matters presented in Note 28 to the IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 or describes major matters that occurred after 31 December 2015.
a. Proceedings by UOKiK
In September 2016, UOKiK commenced proceedings against Orange Polska, T-Mobile Polska S.A., Polkomtel Sp. z o.o. and P4 Sp. z o.o. claiming that rules on the Polish market applied to pre-paid offers, according to which top-ups are annulled in so-called "passive period", may violate consumers rights.
In the opinion of the Management, Orange Polska did not violate the law and offers are in line with rules which are applied also by other sectors having pre-paid offers.
UOKiK informed the Company that it had further prolonged the proceedings. The indicated date of prolongation is 31 December 2016.
UOKiK informed the Company that it had further prolonged the proceedings. The indicated date of prolongation was 24 October 2016. The Company has not been notified whether the proceedings were prolonged for the further period.
b. Proceedings by the European Commission related to broadband access
On 27 February 2016, Orange Polska appealed the verdict of the General Court of 17 December 2015 to the Court of Justice.
c. Other contingent liabilities and provisions
Apart from the above mentioned, operational activities of the Group are subject to legal, social and administrative regulations and the Group is a party to a number of legal proceedings and commercial contracts related to its operational activities. Some regulatory decisions can be detrimental to the Group and court verdicts within appeal proceedings against such decisions can have negative consequences for the Group. The Group monitors the risks on a regular basis and the Management believes that adequate provisions have been recorded for known and quantifiable risks.
As at 30 September 2016, Orange S.A. owned 50.67% of shares of the Company and had the power to appoint the majority of OPL S.A.'s Supervisory Board Members. The Supervisory Board decides about the composition of the Management Board.
The Group's income earned from the Orange Group comprises mainly data transmission, research and development services and interconnect. The purchases from the Orange Group comprise mainly costs of interconnect, data transmission, IT services, consulting services and brand fees.
Financial receivables, payables, finance costs, net and other comprehensive income concerning transactions with the Orange Group relate mainly to loan agreements concluded with Atlas Services Belgium S.A. and agreement with Orange S.A. concerning derivative transactions to hedge exposure to foreign currency risk and interest rate risk related to the abovementioned loan agreements. Cash and cash equivalents deposited with Orange S.A. relate to the Cash Management Treasury Agreement.

Orange Polska is the principal provider of telecommunications services in Poland. The Company provides mobile and fixed telecommunications services, including calls, messaging, content, access to the Internet and TV. In addition, Orange Polska provides ICT (Information and Communications Technology) services, leased lines and other telecommunications value added services, sells telecommunications equipment, provides data transmission, sells electrical energy and financial services.
Orange Polska's registered office is located in Warsaw at 160 Aleje Jerozolimskie St.
On 30 September 2016, the merger of Orange Polska S.A. and its fully owned subsidiaries - Orange Customer Service Sp. z o.o. and TP Invest Sp. z o.o. – was registered in the Commercial Court. The merger was effected by transferring all assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries to OPL S.A. The share capital of OPL S.A. was not increased as a result of the merger (see Note 5).
These unaudited Condensed IFRS Quarterly Separate Financial Statements for the 9 months ended 30 September 2016 (the "Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements") are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 - Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34") and with all accounting standards applicable to interim financial reporting adopted by the European Union, issued and effective as at the time of preparing the Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements (see also Note 3).
These Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Orange Polska S.A. IFRS Separate Financial Statements and the notes thereto ("IFRS Separate Financial Statements") for the year ended 31 December 2015.
The Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements include the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and selected explanatory notes.
Costs that arise unevenly during the year are anticipated or deferred in the quarterly financial statements only if it would also be appropriate to anticipate or defer such costs at the end of the year.
These Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements are prepared in millions of Polish zloty ("PLN") and were authorised for issuance by the Management Board on 24 October 2016.
There were no new standards or interpretations issued from the date when the IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 were issued.
The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements are materially consistent with those described in Notes 2 and 30 to the audited IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.
From the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company reassesses the recoverable amount of trade and other receivables at their disposal date and presents gain on disposal on a net basis. As a result, the comparative amounts of other operating expense and income for the 9 months ended 30 September 2015 were decreased by PLN 92 million without impact on the net income.
From the second quarter of 2016, the Company classifies finance lease receivables as trade receivables and cash inflows from finance lease are presented as net cash provided by operating activities. As a result, PLN 13 million was reclassified from other assets to trade receivables in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015. The comparative amounts in the statement of cash flows were adjusted accordingly: cash inflows from finance lease repaid by a lessee were reclassified from net cash used in investing activities to the line presenting increase/decrease in trade receivables, gross in net cash provided by operating activities.
The Company's activities are not subject to any significant seasonality or cyclical trends of operations.
Orange Polska S.A. and its 100% owned subsidiaries – Orange Customer Service Sp. z o.o. ("OCS") and TP Invest Sp. z o.o. ("TPI") – merged as at 30 September 2016 ("merger"). All assets and liabilities of OCS and TPI were transferred to OPL S.A.
OCS provided post-sale services for OPL S.A. customers. TPI carried out corporate governance over non-core subsidiaries of Orange Polska.
OCS and TPI were controlled by OPL S.A., therefore the legal merger is a transaction under common control and, in these Condensed Quarterly Separate Financial Statements, is accounted for using the merged entities values from the consolidated financial statements of the parent entity – OPL S.A. OCS was acquired by OPL S.A. as a shelf company and was controlled by OPL S.A. since then. TPI was controlled from the incorporation by OPL S.A. Therefore, the net book value of assets and liabilities of OCS and TPI recognised after the merger in the statement of financial position of OPL S.A. equals the net book value in subsidiaries' accounts. Additionally, the following adjustments were made to the aggregated value of assets, liabilities and equity of OPL S.A., OCS and TPI as at the merger date:
The merger is accounted for prospectively starting from 30 September 2016. The statement of financial position as at 31 December 2015 does not include assets, liabilities and equity of OCS and TPI. The income statement, the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows for the 9 months ended 30 September 2016 and 2015 do not include income, expenses and cash flows of these subsidiaries.
The merger had the following impact on the statement of financial position of Orange Polska S.A. as at 30 September 2016:

On 21 January 2016, Orange Polska signed with Trade Unions an agreement that amended the value of retirement bonuses and jubilee awards paid to employees. Employees are no longer entitled to retirement bonuses higher than those set out in the Polish labour law if the retirement takes place after 31 December 2017. The agreement reduces also an average value of a jubilee award paid to employees upon completion of a certain number of years of service – for payments due after 2020. As a result, a credit of PLN 81 million was recognised in labour expense in the first quarter of 2016 with a corresponding release of the liabilities relating to long-term employee benefits.
On 25 January 2016, the Company received decisions in which the President of UKE granted Orange Polska the frequencies in the 800 MHz and 2600 MHz bands for a total amount of PLN 3,168 million declared in the auction. On the basis of these decisions, Orange Polska received the licenses for two blocks of 2x5 MHz each in the 800 MHz band and licenses for three blocks of 2x5 MHz each in the 2600 MHz band. The licenses are valid for 15 years from the date of receipt of the decisions. In February 2016, Orange Polska paid the whole amount less PLN 20 million of deposit paid in 2014 before the auction. The amortisation of the above-mentioned frequencies began on 1 March 2016 and the amortisation charge amounted to PLN 124 million in the 9 months ended 30 September 2016. Additionally, the amount of cash flows from investing activities for the 9 months ended 30 September 2015 includes PLN 741 million of the deposit paid in the course of the above-mentioned auction.
From 2016, as a result of annual asset lives review, the Company extended the estimated useful lives for certain network assets which decreased the depreciation expense by PLN 235 million in the 9 months ended 30 September 2016. Depreciation expense in 2016 is expected to be lower by approximately PLN 300 million than in 2015.
The amount of trade payables subject to reverse factoring increased from PLN 15 million as at 31 December 2015 to PLN 50 million as at 30 September 2016. These payables are presented together with the remaining balance of trade payables, as analysis conducted by the Company indicates they have retained their trade nature.
On 3 February 2016, the Company and Atlas Services Belgium S.A., a subsidiary of Orange S.A., concluded a Loan Agreement for PLN 2,700 million with repayment date in 2021. On 31 March 2016, Orange Polska S.A. repaid EUR 280 million of the Credit Facility Agreement signed on 17 April 2013 with Atlas Services Belgium S.A. Additionally, in the 9 months ended 30 September 2016, the net cash flows from issuance and repayments of the Revolving Credit Facility from Atlas Services Belgium S.A. amounted to PLN 1,600 million.
As at 30 September 2016, the total outstanding balance of loans from the related party amounted to PLN 7,260 million, including accrued interest and arrangement fees. The weighted average effective interest rate on loans from the related party amounted to 1.91% before swaps and 3.32% after swaps as at 30 September 2016.
In the 9 months ended 30 September 2016 Orange Polska S.A. entered into new derivative transactions under the agreement with Orange S.A. hedging interest rate risk on the related party financing provided in PLN. The total nominal amount of cross currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps outstanding under the agreement as at 30 September 2016 was EUR 670 million and PLN 4,750 million, respectively, with a total negative fair value amounting to PLN 24 million.
In the 9 months ended 30 September 2016, the Company issued and redeemed short-term bonds under the Orange Polska S.A. Bond Issuance Programme. The bonds are denominated in PLN and are offered by private placement to the Orange Polska Group's entities, exclusively within the territory of the Republic of Poland. The bonds are redeemed at their par value. In the 9 months ended 30 September 2016, the net cash flows on the bonds amounted to PLN (157) million. As at 30 September 2016 and 31 December 2015, the aggregate par value of the outstanding bonds issued under the programme amounted to PLN 87 million and PLN 242 million, respectively.
Derivative instruments are measured subsequent to their initial recognition at fair value. The fair value of derivatives is determined as described in Note 20 to the IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015. Significant inputs to the valuation technique used by the Company to measure the fair value of derivatives are classified to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy described in Note 21.1.
The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments approximates their fair value, except for telecommunications licence payables for which as at 30 September 2016 and 31 December 2015 the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying amount by PLN 169 million and PLN 182 million, respectively, due to significant change between the original effective interest rates and current market rates.
On 12 April 2016, the General Meeting of Orange Polska S.A. adopted a resolution on the payment of an ordinary dividend of PLN 0.25 per share from the 2015 profit and retained earnings from previous years. The total dividend, paid on 7 July 2016, amounted to PLN 328 million.
The information hereunder refers to the matters presented in Note 27 to the IFRS Separate Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 or describes major matters that occurred after 31 December 2015.
In September 2016, UOKiK commenced proceedings against Orange Polska, T-Mobile Polska S.A., Polkomtel Sp. z o.o. and P4 Sp. z o.o. claiming that rules on the Polish market applied to pre-paid offers, according to which top-ups are annulled in so-called "passive period", may violate consumers rights.
In the opinion of the Management, Orange Polska did not violate the law and offers are in line with rules which are applied also by other sectors having pre-paid offers.
UOKiK informed the Company that it had further prolonged the proceedings. The indicated date of prolongation is 31 December 2016.
UOKiK informed the Company that it had further prolonged the proceedings. The indicated date of prolongation was 24 October 2016. The Company has not been notified whether the proceedings were prolonged for the further period.
