Part 1 – General information

Note 1.1 Corporate information

KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. (“the Parent Entity”, “the Company”) with its registered office in Lubin at 48 M.Skłodowskiej-Curie Street is a joint stock company registered at the Regional Court for Wrocław Fabryczna in Wrocław, Section IX (Economic) of the National Court Register, entry no. KRS  23302, on the territory of the Republic of Poland.

KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. has a multi-divisional organisational structure, comprised of a Head Office and 10 divisions:

3 mines (Lubin Mine Division, Polkowice-Sieroszowice Mine Division, Rudna Mine Division), 3 metallurgical plants (Głogów Smelter/Refinery, Legnica Smelter/Refinery, Cedynia Wire Rod Division), the Concentrator Division, the Tailings Division, the Mine-Smelter Emergency Rescue Division and the Data Center Division.

The shares of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. are listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

The Parent Entity’s principal activities include:

·  the mining of copper and non-ferrous metals ores; and

·  the production of copper, precious and non-ferrous metals.

In addition, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group (“the Group”) conducts other activities, which are described in Appendix no. 4 to the Management Board’s Report on the activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in 2020.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared under the assumption that the Group’s companies will continue

as a going concern during a period of at least 12 months from the end of the reporting period in an unaltered form and business scope, and there are no reasons to suspect any intentional or forced discontinuation or significant limitation

of its current activities. As at the date of signing of the consolidated financial statements the Management Board of the Parent Entity is not aware of any facts or circumstances that may cast doubt about the going concern in the foreseeable future.

The pandemic’s impact on individual aspects of the business and the going concern assumption are described in note 12.12.

The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group carries out exploration and the mining of copper, nickel and precious metals based

on concessions given for the Polish deposits to KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., and also based on legal titles held by KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. and KGHM AJAX MINING INC. for the exploration for or mining of these resources in the USA, Canada, and Chile. Detailed information is presented in the Management Board’s report on the activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A  and of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in 2020 (point 2.4).

In 2020, the Parent Entity of the Group consolidated 70 subsidiaries and used the equity method to account for the shares of two joint ventures (Sierra Gorda S.C.M. and NANO CARBON Sp. z o.o. in liquidation). TUW Cuprum is excluded from consolidation.

Declaration by the Management Board on the accuracy of the prepared financial statements

The Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. declares that according to its best judgement the annual consolidated financial statements for 2020 and the comparative data have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles currently in force, and give a true, fair and clear view of the financial position of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and the profit for the period of the Group.

The Management Board’s report on the activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group

in 2020 presents a true picture of the development and achievements, as well as the condition, of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, including a description of the basic exposures and risks.

The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue and signed by the Management Board of the Parent Entity on 23 March 2021.

Note 1.2 Basis of preparation and presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, on the basis of historical cost, except for financial instruments classified

as measured at fair value and investment properties measured at fair value.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of the Group which apply to the consolidated financial statements as a whole, as well

as significant estimates and their impact on amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements, are presented

in the following note.

Significant estimates and judgments

Consolidation principles

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent Entity and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are understood as being entities which are either directly controlled by the Parent Entity or indirectly through its subsidiaries.

Obtaining  control of a subsidiary, which is a business, is accounted for using the acquisition method.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is obtained to the date on which control is lost.

Balances, incomes, expenses and unrealised gains recognised in assets from intra-group transactions, are eliminated.

Determining whether the Parent Entity has control over a company  requires an assessment as to whether it has rights to direct relevant activities of the company.

Determining what constitutes relevant activities of the company and by which investor it is controlled requires a judgment.

Among others, the following factors are taken into consideration when assessing the situation and determining the nature of relationships: voting rights, relative voting power, dilution of voting rights of other investors and their ability to appoint members of key management personnel or members of the supervisory board.

Fair value measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or would be paid for a transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For financial reporting purposes, a fair value hierarchy was established that categorises the inputs into three levels. The fair value hierarchy levels are as follows:

Level 1    Value is based on inputs from active markets, as they are seen as the most reliable source of data.

Level 2   Value is based on inputs other than from active markets, which are nevertheless observable (unbiased, measurable).

Level 3     Value is based on unobservable inputs, used when it is not possible to acquire data from the first two measurement levels. It includes all measurements based on subjective inputs.

Fair value presents current estimates which may be subject to change in subsequent reporting periods due to market conditions  or due to other factors. There are many methods of measuring fair value, which may result in differences in fair values.

Moreover, assumptions constituting the basis of fair value measurement may require estimating the changes in costs/prices over time, the discount rate, inflation rate or other significant variables.

Certain assumptions and estimates are necessary to determine to which level of fair value hierarchy a given instrument should be classified.

Financial statements of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than PLN

For purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements in the presentation currency of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, i.e. in PLN, individual items of financial statements of foreign operations whose functional currencies are other than PLN are translated in the following manner:

(i)     assets and liabilities – at the closing rate, i.e. at the average exchange rate for that currency announced by the NBP at the end of the reporting period,

(ii)    items of the statement of profit or loss, the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of cash flows - at the arithmetical average of average exchange rates announced for a given currency by the NBP at the end of each month of a given reporting period. If there is a significant volatility of exchange rates in a given period, revenues and costs in the statement of profit or loss and the statement of comprehensive income are translated using the exchange rates as at the transaction date.

Exchange differences from the translation of foreign operations statements are recognised in other comprehensive income of a given period.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in PLN, which is also the functional currency of the Parent Entity and the Group’s subsidiaries, with the exception of: the subsidiary Future 1 Sp. z o.o. and subsidiaries of  the subgroup KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. in which mainly the US dollar (USD) is the functional currency.

The balance of exchange differences from the translation of financial statements of the aforementioned entities:

·  2020 – PLN 2 690 million,

·  2019 – PLN 2 651 million.



in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

Foreign currency transactions and the measurement of items denominated in foreign currencies

At the moment of initial recognition, foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency:

·   at the actual exchange rate applied, i.e. at the buy or sell exchange rate applied by the bank in which the transaction occurs, in the case of the sale or purchase of currencies and the payment of receivables or liabilities;

·    at the average exchange rate set for a given currency, prevailing on the date of the transaction for other transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate prevailing on that date.

Foreign exchange gains or losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions, and on the measurement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities (other than derivatives), are recognised in profit or loss.

Foreign exchange gains or losses on the measurement of foreign currency derivatives are recognised in profit or loss as a fair value measurement, provided they do not represent a change in the fair value of the effective cash flow hedge.

In such a case, they are recognised in other comprehensive income in accordance with hedge accounting policies.

Foreign exchange gains or losses on non-monetary items, such as equity instruments classified as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, are recognised  in other comprehensive income.

Foreign exchange gains or losses on monetary items measured at fair value through profit or loss (e.g. loans granted measured at fair value) are recognised as a part of the fair value measurement.

For a greater understanding of the data recognised in the consolidated financial statements, an accounting policy and important estimates, assumptions and judgments are presented in individual, detailed notes as in the table below. As compared to the periods ended on 31 December 2019 and 30 June 2020, there were no significant changes to the measurement methods. Changes in estimates as at 31 December 2020 as compared to the aforementioned periods arise from changes in assumptions as a result of changes in business circumstances and/or other variables.

Note 1.3 Impact of new and amended standards and interpretations

The International Accounting Standards Board approved the following amendments to standards for use from 1 January 2020:

·        Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 on the definition of “material”,

·        Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 on the interest rate benchmark reform,

·        Amendments to IFRS 3 on  the definition of a business,

·        Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS.

Up to the date of publication of these financial statements, the aforementioned amendments to the standards were adopted for use by the European Union and they did not have an impact on the Group’s accounting policy or on the consolidated financial statements for 2020.

Moreover, the Group decided for an earlier application of an amendment to IFRS 16 on Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions, which is in force for financial years starting from or after 1 June 2020.

Note 1.4 Published standards and interpretations, which are not yet in force and were not applied earlier by the Group

The Group did not decide to apply early published standards, interpretations or amendments to existing standards before their entry into force in these financial statements.

Other standards and interpretations published but not yet in force:

·        Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 with respect to the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture,

·        IFRS 17 Insurance contracts and amendments to IFRS 17,

·        Amendments to IFRS 4 on extension of the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9,

·        Amendments to IAS 1 on classification of liabilities as current or non-current.

·        Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 on  the interest rate benchmark reform – Phase 2,

·        Amendments to IFRS 3 on  references to the Conceptual Framework,

·        Amendments to IAS 16 on proceeds before intended use of an item of property, plant and equipment,

·        Amendments to IAS 37 on cost of fulfilling onerous contracts,

·        Amendments to IAS 1 on the disclosure of accounting policies,

·        Amendments to IAS 8 on the definition of accounting estimates,

·        Annual amendments to IFRS, 2018-2020.

The aforementioned standards, with the exception of amendments to IFRS 4 on extension of the temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 and amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 on  the interest rate benchmark reform – Phase 2, are awaiting adoption by the European Union. The Group aims to apply all of the amendments at their effective dates. Except for IFRS 17 and amendments to IFRS 4, which will not have an impact on the Group’s financial statements,

in the Group’s opinion as at 31 December 2020, these standards will be applicable to its activities in the scope of
future economic operations, transactions or other events, towards which the amendments to standards are applicable.

In particular, in the case of amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 on the interest rate benchmark reform – Phase 2, the Group analysed present items in the consolidated financial statements with regards to the impact of the IBOR reform on its consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to current decisions of entities designated

to implement the reform, only the LIBOR rate will be replaced, and it will be replaced by a risk-free rate based on the overnight rate. The Group identified agreements with clauses based on the LIBOR rate and which will be amended following the replacement of the reference rate. These are mainly borrowing agreements (bank loans, loans), deposit agreements, agreements for bank guarantees and letters of credit as well as factoring agreements. Replacement

of the LIBOR rate by an alternative ratio will also result in introducing appendices to the current agreements, analysing the eventual change of interest rates from variable to fixed, introducing changes to internal methodologies

and procedures and adapting IT tools to new calculation methods.

Moreover, the Group uses the LIBOR rate to estimate the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee in lease agreements based on USD, for which it is not possible to otherwise determine the lease interest rate, and to measure to fair value  loans granted by applying in the discounting process the current LIBOR market interest rate from the Reuters system.

In such cases, there is no formal risk and in the Company’s opinion, the impact of this amendment on the measurement of loans will be immaterial due to the fact that despite the new calculation method, the new reference rate will differ from the LIBOR rate by only 1-2 basis points, depending on the date and currency.

The KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group continuously monitors the recommendations of entities leading the IBOR reform. Due to the fact that many issues have not yet been formally regulated, the scale and scope of changes

to the aforementioned financial instruments and their impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements cannot currently be determined. The IBOR reform will not have an impact on the interest rate of derivatives, because CIRS and bonds are based on WIBOR, which will not be replaced by an alternative ratio.

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.

Based on 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:

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, where the following mines, deposits or mining areas constitute the 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 others. In addition, the Management Board receives and analyses reports on the whole KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group. Operating segments are engaged in the exploration and mining of copper, molybdenum, silver, gold and nickel deposits.

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. (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:

-     Future 1 Sp. z o.o., which acts as a holding company with respect to the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group,

-     Future 2 Sp. z o.o., Future 3 Sp. z o.o., Future 4 Sp. z o.o., Future 5 Sp. z o.o., which operate in the structure related to the establishment of a Tax Group,

-     Future 6 Sp. z o.o. in liquidation and Future 7 Sp. z o.o. in liquidation.

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 segments KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. and Sierra Gorda S.C.M. have their own Management Board, which reports the results of their business activities to 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. Other companies of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group are presented below by segment: KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. and Other segments.

 Location of mining assets of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group

ImageAlt2

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, including impairment losses

·      The segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. – comprises consolidated data of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group prepared in accordance with IFRSs. 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. prepared in accordance with IFRSs

·      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 and costs, other operating income and costs, profit or loss on involvement in joint ventures, impairment losses on interest in a joint venture, depreciation/amortisation  and recognition/reversal of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment included in the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses. Since adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined by IFRS, it is not a standardised measure and therefore its method of 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.

Revenues from transactions with external entities and inter-segment transactions are carried out at arm’s length. Eliminations of mutual settlements, revenues and costs between segments were presented in the item “Consolidation adjustments”.

Unallocated assets and liabilities concern companies which have not been allocated to any segment. Assets which have not been allocated to the segments comprise cash, trade receivables and deferred tax assets. Liabilities which have

not been allocated to the segments comprise trade liabilities and current tax liabilities.

Note 2.3 Revenues from contracts with customers of the Group – breakdown by products

Accounting policies

Revenues arising from ordinary operating activities of the Group, i.e. revenues from sales of products, merchandise and materials, are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as revenues from contracts with customers.

The Group generates its revenues mainly from the sale of: copper, silver and gold. Other, smaller streams of revenues arise from the sale of services and other products (including electricity), merchandise and materials (including steel, petroleum and its derivatives).

The Group recognises revenue from contracts with customers when the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or providing a service to a customer, which is when the customer obtains control of that asset, i.e. the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset, as well as the ability to prevent other entities from directing the use of, and obtaining the benefits from, the asset.

Revenues from the sale of services are recognised by the Group in profit or loss over time if one of the following criteria is met:

-     the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance to the extent that it performs its obligations, or

-     the Group satisfies a performance obligation and creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in progress) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, or

-     the Group satisfies a performance obligation and creates an asset without an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

If the Group recognises revenues on the basis of assessment pursuant to the adopted method of measurement the degree of advancement, prior to the issue of the invoice, it recognises due consideration as a contractual asset and transfers it to receivables at the moment the right to consideration becomes unconditional.

The Group recognises as a performance obligation every contractual promise to transfer to a customer a good or provide a service that is distinct, or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. For each performance obligation, the Group determines (based on contractual terms), whether the obligation will be performed over time or at a specified moment.

In trade contracts in which the performance obligation is met at a specified time, the Group uses various payment dates, including prepayments of up to several days before delivery and deferred payments of up to 120 days, although the deferred payments do not concern silver. Payment dates depend on the evaluation of the recipient’s credit risk and the possibility of securing receivables. Due to the above, the payment dates are not contingent on the moment of satisfying a performance obligation. The Group recognises received prepayments as contractual payables, while in the case of deferred payments the Company recognises due consideration as receivables at the moment the invoice is issued, if the only condition of receiving payment is the time lapse. The date on which the consideration becomes due depends on the payment conditions specified in individual contracts, or before the realisation of the delivery (prepayment) or is set as a specified number of days after the date of sale indicated in a given invoice.

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognised in the amount of the transaction price, consisting of the amount of consideration to which – in accordance with the Group’s expectations – it will be given in return for the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer, excluding consideration collected on behalf of third parties.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

The transaction price also reflects the effects of the time value of money if a contract with a customer contains a significant financing element, which is determined based on the contractual payment terms, regardless of whether the promise of financing is explicitly stated in the contract. In determining whether a financing component is significant for a given agreement, all of the facts and circumstances are taken into consideration, including the eventual difference between the promised consideration and the cash selling price of the promised goods and services, as well as the total impact of the following two factors: (i) the estimated period from the moment an entity transfers the promised goods or services to a customer to the moment the customer pays for these goods or services, and (ii) prevailing interest rates on a given market. In the realised contracts of sales to customers in 2020 and 2019, the Group identified a significant financing component in the contract with Franco Nevada (contract described below in Important estimates, assumptions and judgments).

The Group presents the results of financing (interest costs) in revenues from contracts with customers in the statement of comprehensive income. In the Franco Nevada contract, there is also an element of variable consideration. In such a situation, the Group recognises revenues by estimating the amount of consideration, to which it will be entitled to in exchange for transferring the good to the customer and includes a part or all of the amount of variable consideration in the transaction price only to such an extent to which it is highly probable that there will not be a reversal of a significant part of previously recognised accumulated revenues at the moment when uncertainty as to the amount of consideration ceases to be.

In the case of copper and silver products sales transactions for which the price is set after the date of recognition of a given sale, at the moment of initial recognition of a transaction an adjustment of revenues from sales is made, arising from the difference between the forward price of a metal expressed in USD from the date of recognition of a sale in the period corresponding to the period of settlement of the transaction, and the price from provisional invoice. This adjustment brings the amount of the transaction to the expected amount as a transaction price at the moment of initial recognition. This only concerns cases where the change in transaction price arises from a change in the metal’s price. For these types of variable revenues, the limitation of IFRS 15 on recognising variable consideration only to the amount in respect of which it is highly probable that a reversal will not be recognised, is not applicable. Changes to the booked amount after the moment of recognition do not impact the revenues from sales but are fair value gains/losses on measurement of receivables pursuant to the accounting policies presented in Note 10.2.



Sales revenue is adjusted for the gain or loss on the settlement of cash flow hedging derivatives, in accordance with the general principle that the portion of gain or loss on a derivative hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in the same position of profit or loss in which the gain or loss on the hedged item is recognised at the moment when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

Important estimates, assumptions and judgments

The Group recognises revenues from the sale of products, merchandise and materials in profit or loss once, when the performance obligation is satisfied (in particular in accordance with the applied INCOTERMS principles. In the majority of contracts, control is transferred to the customer after delivery of the goods, which is also understood as delivery of the goods to the carrier or to a designated facility (DAP, FCA and EX WORKS bases). In other contracts, control is transferred to the customer at the moment it is handed over to the carrier and loaded aboard a ship (CFR, CIF, CPT and CIP bases). In these contracts, the Group is also obliged to organise the shipment. In these cases, the Group acts as a principal, as it has control over the service before its completion and transfer to the customer.

The Group recognises revenues over time due to realised mine construction services and other geological work. The Group meets liabilities in time, because the customer simultaneously receives and makes use of economic benefits arising from the performed service as it is performed, or because components are made which do not have an alternative application for the Group and simultaneously the Group has an enforceable right to payment. To measure the degree of advancement of performance obligation, the Group applies a method based on expenses incurred while meeting the performance obligation on the basis of incurred costs and for other contracts, a method based on results, where the unit cost set in advance is applied to measure the unit of production (e.g. meters of drilled tunneling).

The contract with Franco Nevada

The Group realises the streaming arrangement contract, which is a source of financing available on the market for entities operating in the mining sector.

The contract concerns the sale of half of the production of gold, platinum and palladium contained in the ore extracted during the lives of the following mines: Morrison, McCreedy West and Podolsky, which are within the CGU Sudbury. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, Quadra FNX Mining Ltd. received a prepayment in the amount of CAD 400 million.  Moreover, pursuant to the contract, the selling price for one ounce of gold equivalent is the lower of these two amounts: (a) USD 400, increased by 1% each year beginning from 2011, or (b) the market price of gold. The received prepayment covers the difference between the market price of ore sold and its fixed selling price. The Group recognised a liability due to the contract in the amount of prepayment due to the obligation put on the entity to meet the obligation to transfer or be ready to transfer goods or services in the future. The entity will cease to recognise this contractual obligation (and will recognise revenues) at the moment it transfers these goods or services and therefore meet its performance obligation.

Variable consideration

In the contract with Franco Nevada the total transaction price is variable and depends on the amount of the raw material sold, and this in turn depends on ore extraction in the future throughout the life of the mine (including for example on the size of the deposit). Therefore, if in subsequent reporting periods the Group enacts any changes to the planned amount of ore to be extracted, and consequently to the amount of raw material sold, the transaction price will also be updated.

The Group recognises amounts related to satisfied performance obligations as revenue or as a decrease of revenue in the period in which the transaction price was changed.

Significant financing component

In the context of the contract with Franco Nevada, taking into consideration the expected period from the moment when prepayment is received to the moment when the Group transfers the promised good (the life of the mine, or several decades) and the nature of this contract, it was determined that the extension of payments over time provides benefits to the Group due to the financing of deliveries of raw material by the buyer (Franco Nevada), and as a result the contract includes a significant financing element.

The Group presents the effects of financing (interest costs) separately from revenue from contracts with customers in the statement of profit or loss. Interest costs are recognised solely to the extent to which the liabilities related to the contract with Franco Nevada were recognised.

Contract advanced by DMC

The Group advances a long-term contract for mine construction, in which it uses a method based on expenditures to recognise revenues, which meets the criteria for recognising revenues in the amount the Group has a right to invoice. The total transaction price allocated to performance obligations, which were not met at the end of the reporting period, amounted to PLN 172 million, of which the amount of PLN 144 million will be realised in 2021 and PLN 28 million in 2022. The transaction price does not include the revenues from contracts with customers corresponding to the estimated amount of variable consideration, at the level of 5% of the contract’s value, subject to restrictions in recognition pursuant to paragraph 56 of IFRS 15.

Part 3 – Impairment of assets

Note 3.1. Impairment of assets as at 31 December 2020

ASSESSMENT OF THE RISK OF IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS IN THE CONTEXT OF MARKET CAPITALISATION OF KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

In 2020, the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic was spreading across the world, and its impact was noticeable in many areas. Detailed information on the impact of COVID–19 on the Group’s operations is presented in note 12.12.

Among others, due to the coronavirus market indices drastically fell. The share price of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

in 2020 initially fell to PLN 49.40 (on 12 March 2020) or by 48% as compared to the share price from the end of 2019 and then rose to PLN 183.00 as at 31 December 2020. In 2020,
the WIG and WIG20 indices on 12 March 2020 fell

by 36% and 39%, and on 31 December 2020 by 1% and 8% as compared to 30 December 2019, respectively.

As a result, the Parent Entity’s market capitalisation increased from PLN 19 116 million to PLN 36 600 million,

and therefore as at 31 December 2020 it was 74% above the value of the net assets of the Group.

The drop in share prices caused by the COVID-19 pandemic affected shares of companies in the majority of sectors,

in various sectors of the economy, and reflected investor uncertainty as to the future. This was confirmed by the increase in the value of typically conservative instruments such as gold and the exchange rates of certain currencies.

From the perspective of the Parent Entity’s operations, the copper price is the first and foremost key factor. From

the start of the pandemic, this metal was substantially undervalued. As at 31 December 2019, the price of copper amounted to 6 156 USD/t, and during 2020, as at 23 March 2020 it had fallen to 4 618 USD/t. Nonetheless, as time passed, with the inflow of more hopeful information as respects demand for this commodity, prices returned to their level at the start of 2020 and on 31 December 2020 the copper price reached the level of 7 742 USD/t.

The share prices of companies involved in the mining and processing of copper are strongly correlated with the price of this metal. The decrease in the market capitalisation of companies in this sector, including KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., was therefore of a temporary nature, and reflected the initial panic of investors related with the coronavirus pandemic and the associated drop in the prices of the major metals. Once it became evident that the pandemic would not have

a significant impact, on either the production or sales of these entities, share prices returned to their former levels and then increased alongside the increase in metal prices.

It is also worth mentioning that in the case of the Polish assets, of significance are PLN-expressed metals prices, which are also affected by the USD/PLN exchange rate. Fluctuations in the price of copper related to the volatility

on the financial markets, whose origins may often be found not only in macroeconomics but also in geopolitics,

are usually to a large extent offset by changes in the USD/PLN exchange rate.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic at the turn of February and March 2020, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. has maintained full operational capability and has been advancing its production and sales plans.

Analysis of the occurrence of indications with respect to the international assets of the Group (the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group) also indicated the copper price as a key factor from the point of view of the operations

of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group. Nonetheless, despite the temporary fall in the first half of 2020 of metals prices which lead directly to lower revenues of the international assets, there were no indications identified to perform impairment testing. The Group undertook austerity measures aimed at mitigating the negative impact of the decrease in revenues. A number of procedures aimed at swift identification of infected persons and at limiting the spread of COVID-19 were introduced. This enabled the avoidance of outbreaks of the disease and uninterrupted production.

COVID-19 did not disrupt the activities of any of the mines and did not lead to any decrease in mining production.

As a result of the assessment, it was judged that there was no relation in the first half of 2020 between the temporary fall in share price of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. both in terms of the activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in Poland as well as abroad.

Due to the uncertainty and the significant volatility of basic economic parameters, including metals prices and currency exchange rates, and dynamic development of the pandemic situation in Poland and globally, and its impact

on the economic situation, the Parent Entity is continuously monitoring the global situation in order to assess its potential impact on the Group.

TEST FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS OF THE KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. GROUP

 - the Segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.

In the current period, the Management Board of the Parent Entity analysed indications for all international assets of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group and did not identify a need to perform impairment testing, with the exception of the Franke mine. As a result of the identification of indications of a possible change in the recoverable amount

of the Franke mine, the Parent Entity’s Management Board performed impairment testing of this asset. The key indication to perform impairment testing was a change in the technical and economic parameters of the Franke mine with respect to production volumes, assumed operating costs and the level of capital expenditures during the mine life.

The key indications that the recoverable amount of the Franke mine may be lower than the carrying amount,

and therefore it may be necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss, were:

·        the level of capital expenditures during the life of the Franke mine,

·        the volume of production of the Franke mine.

To determine the recoverable amount of assets during the testing, the method of discounted cash flows to the value

in use was used for the CGU Franke.

Basic macroeconomic assumptions adopted in the impairment testing – metal prices

Price paths were adopted on the basis of long-term forecasts available from financial and analytical institutions.

A specified forecast was prepared for the period 2021 – 2023,
in which currently mining operations are planned:

-    for copper – 6 300 – 6 500 USD/t;

-    for gold – 1 600 – 1 900 USD/oz;

-    for nickel – 6.25 - 7.00 USD/lb.

Key factors responsible for modification of technical and economic assumptions

Franke

Due to a substantial change in market conditions and exploration work conducted, the Company is in the process of analysing alternative means of mining the sulphide deposits held, i.e. flotation and leaching (SX/EW). Both methods are characterised by differing production costs, required investment expenditures and production results. As a result the decision was made to exclude the sulphide ore from production plans. Following the completion of analysis and selection of the method of further exploitation, the decision to include utilisation of the sulphide ore in the plans will be re-considered.

Results of the test performed as at 31 December 2020 are presented in the following table:

* the carrying amount was calculated as book value of fixed assets tested in CGU Franke, decreased by the provision for future decommissioning costs of mines of USD 20 million (PLN 75 million). The recoverable amount was calculated as a value in use for CGU Franke, decreased by the provision for future decommissioning costs of CGU Franke, which amounts to USD 20 million (PLN 75 million).

As a result of the conducted test, an impairment loss on the CGU Franke was recognised in the items: “Other operating costs” in the amount of PLN 37 million and “Cost of sales” in the amount of PLN 8 million.

TEST FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT OF WPEC S.A. – Segment – Other segments

In the current period, due to indications of the possibility of changes in the recoverable amount of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the company WPEC S.A., the Company performed impairment testing on these assets. The key indication to perform impairment testing in the current reporting period was a disclosure of information on the possible delay of commissioning of the company’s investment in a new heat source in Legnica. The carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets  of WPEC S.A. as at 31 December 2020 amounted to PLN 157 million. For the purpose of estimating the recoverable amount, in the conducted test the value in use of the CGU was measured, using the DCF (discounted cash flows) method.

* Data is presented after taxation, despite the measurement model of value in use. The application of data before taxation does not have an impact on the recoverable amount.

The adopted level of capital expenditures during the forecast period mainly concerns the realisation of a task – Modernisation of a heat supply system for the Legnica city.

Currently applied prices and price rates applied in tariffs for heat were used in the revenue forecast for the years 2021 – 2030. Due to the fact that from 2023 the company aims to change the heat generation technology in Legnica while retaining the method of shaping prices required by law, it will recalculate the entire heat price system, being able to use in this regard average heat prices announced by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office, recognised in the process of setting the tariffs as reference levels.  

For the forecast of costs for the years 2021 – 2030, the change in the heat generation technology in Legnica from 2023 will have a significant impact, and in particular:

·        the  decrease in costs of raw materials and production processes of a coal-based economy and the associated current maintenance, operations, overhauls and shut-downs;

·        a decrease in costs of CO2 emissions by approx. 50%;

·        reorganisation of employment – the switch to a natural gas-based technology does not require maintaining the same amount of employees as is required by a coal-based economy – this concerns both the heat production unit as well as maintenance services.

As the result of the above assumptions, the EBIT level was as follows:

The EBIT value in 2030 is a basis to calculate free cash flows necessary to settle the residual value, which amounts to PLN 107 million.

As a result of the impairment testing conducted on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, the recoverable amount of assets was determined to be at the level of PLN 116 million, which was lower than the carrying amount

of the tested assets, which was the basis for recognising an impairment loss on “Cost of sales” in the amount of PLN 41 million.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

The measurement of non-current assets and intangible assets of the company indicated a significant sensitivity

to the adopted discount rates and the measurement of the residual value, which was determined based on EBIT from 2030. The following table presents the impact of changes to these parameters on the measurement of the assets.

In order to monitor the risk of impairment of the operating assets in subsequent reporting periods, it was determined that the recoverable amount would be equal to the carrying amount of assets if the discount rate fell by 0.63% or if EBIT increased by 38%.

TEST FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF NON-CURRENT ASSETS OF SPA COMPANIES – Segment – Other segments

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on the Group’s secondary activities with respect

to the providing of spa services by the following companies (CGUs): Uzdrowiska Kłodzkie S.A. - Grupa PGU, Uzdrowisko Połczyn Grupa PGU S.A., Uzdrowisko Cieplice Sp. z o.o. - Grupa PGU, Uzdrowisko Świeradów - Czerniawa Sp. z o.o. – Grupa PGU.

In 2020, there were significant disruptions to the on-going operations of these companies related to the mandatory lockdown and restrictions of activities implemented by the Decrees of the Minister of Health. Decisions were made

to temporarily suspend the activities of individual facilities. Companies were subjected to a temporary prohibition

on conducting activities in the spring period (March-May/June) and in the winter period (from November).

The restrictions related to COVID-19 resulted in a decrease in revenues in 2020 in the spa companies of approx. 38%

and in the hotel companies of 45% as compared to the revenues in 2019, and as compared to the revenue plan at the level of 41% and 43%, respectively.

The economic impact of this situation, meaning the losses of spa companies incurred in 2020, which significantly deviate from budgetary targets, represented a key indication to conduct impairment testing of the non-current assets

of the spa companies. For the purpose of estimating the recoverable amount, in the conducted test the value in use

of the cash generating units, comprised of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of all of the aforementioned companies, was measured using  the DCF method, i.e. the method of discounted cash flows.

As a result of the tests conducted, an impairment loss on non-current assets was recognised in the total amount of

PLN 94 million – by comparing the carrying amount with the recoverable amount, excluding Uzdrowisko Połczyn Grupa PGU S.A. As a result of the cautious approach to the measurement, an impairment loss on Uzdrowisko Połczyn Grupa PGU S.A. which was recognised in the first half of 2020 remained in the amount of PLN 25 million, despite the fact that the recoverable amount indicated the reversal of an impairment loss in the amount of PLN 7 million.

The impairment loss was recognised in the items: “Other operating costs” in the amount of PLN 2 million and “Cost of sales” in the amount of PLN 92 million.

The recoverable amount of individual CGUs indicated a significant sensitivity to changes in the adopted discount rate,

the average EBITDA margin, and the growth rate following the forecast period. Due to the very conservative approach in testing with respect to financial projections for the years 2021 – 2026, the Company refrained from testing the sensitivity of the recoverable amount during the lockdown period. The sensitivity to the change in level of revenues is reflected in the sensitivity to changes in the EBITDA margin.

EVALUATION OF RISK OF IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS OF THE COMPANY INTERFERIE S.A. – Segment – Other segments

The market capitalisation of the subsidiary Interferie S.A. in 2020 was below the carrying amount of the company’s

net assets, which in accordance with the adopted accounting policy was recognised by the company to be an indication

to perform impairment testing of the company’s assets (the carrying amount of the tested assets was PLN 146 million).

In order to assess the impairment, the Company identified the following CGUs: INTERFERIE in Ustronie Morskie – Leisure and Sanatorium Cechsztyn, INTERFERIE in Kołobrzeg Leisure and Sanatorium Chalkozyn, INTERFERIE in Dąbki Sanatorium Argentyt, INTERFERIE in Świeradów Zdrój – Hotel Malachit, INTERFERIE Hotel in Głogów and INTERFERIE Hotel Bornit

in Szklarska Poręba. In order to assess the impairment, the fair value of the assets was estimated on the basis of the sum of future cash flows of individual CGUs discounted by the rate estimated on the basis of ratios used by the hotel industry, with the exception of CGU INTERFERIE Hotel in Głogów, CGU INTERFERIE Hotel Malachit in Świeradów Zdrój and CGU INTERFERIE Hotel Bornit in Szklarska Poręba, for which the fair value was determined on the basis of valuation reports.

The fair value was classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

TEST FOR IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT OF POL-MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o. – Segment – Other segments

As at 31 December 2020, due to indications of the possibility of changes in the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment of the company POL-MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o., the Company performed impairment testing on these assets. The key indication to perform a test was a loss incurred in 2020, deviating from the financial results assumed for that period. The result of the conducted test did not indicate a need to increase the impairment loss recognised as at 30 June 2020.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment of POL-MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o. as at 30 June 2020 amounted

to PLN 246 million. For the purpose of estimating the recoverable amount, in the conducted test the value in use

of the cash generating unit was measured using the DCF method i.e. the method of discounted cash flows.

As at 31 December 2020, the achievement of the budgeted financial results of POL-MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o was reassessed, and as a result  an indication of a possible change in recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment of the company was identified. The incurred loss for the period of the 12 months of 2020 differed from the budgeted financial results for that period and gave a basis to perform impairment testing of these assets.

The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment of POL-MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o. as at 31 December 2020 amounted to PLN 214 million. For the purpose of estimating the recoverable amount, in the conducted test the value in use of the CGU was measured using the DCF method i.e. the method of discounted cash flows.

EVALUATION OF IMPAIRMENT OF WATER RIGHTS

In the Group, water rights in Chile are annually subjected to impairment testing by comparing their carrying amount

to the recoverable amount, which is set as fair value decreased by costs to sell. The fair value of water rights is classified under level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in which fair value measurements are based on significant observable input data, other than market prices.

For the year ended on 31 December 2020, the Group assessed the factors impacting the recoverable amount of the asset and concluded that there are no grounds for recognising an impairment loss, as the water price and the estimated amount of water available for extraction did not change compared to the level of these factors adopted for measurement as at 31 December 2019. The carrying amount of water rights amounted to PLN 65 million as at 31 December 2020

(as at 31 December 2019: PLN 65 million).

Other impairment losses on assets

Other impairment losses on assets concern:

·          fixed assets under construction and intangible assets not yet available for use – PLN 38 million

·          write-down of inventories – PLN 129 million

·          allowances for impairment of receivables – PLN 6 million

Information on the item in which impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss is presented in note 4.4.

Note 3.2. Impairment of assets as at 31 December 2019

ASSESSMENT OF THE RISK OF IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS IN TERMS OF MARKET CAPITALISATION OF KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

Due to the fact that the Parent Entity’s market capitalisation remained below the carrying amount of net assets in 2019, in accordance with IAS 36 the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. conducted an analysis to determine which areas of the Company’s activities may be impaired. As the result of the conducted analysis, it was determined that impairment testing of the investment in the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group was necessary (held

by Future 1 Sp. z o.o., a subsidiary of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.). A description of the adopted assumptions and results

of the test conducted on the investment in Future 1 Sp. z o.o. is presented below. The Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. also analysed whether the Polish production assets of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. might have been impaired. In the assessment in particular the following were analysed: past financial results of the Parent Entity, forecasts of the copper price adopted for subsequent years of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.’s operations, USD/PLN exchange rate fluctuations and their impact on the level of results achieved by the Parent Entity, ore deposit availability, production technology, production costs, levels of market interest rates, level of debt and the share price of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. versus other parameters such as the main stock exchange indices in Poland, and copper price and one-off events that did not have any connection with the fundamentals of the Parent Entity’s operations in Poland. As a result of the assessment, it was judged that there was no relation between the fall in the share price of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. with the Polish activities of the Parent Entity, and as a result, it was decided that there was no risk of impairment of the Polish production assets of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

TEST FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS OF THE KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. GROUP

In the current period, as a result of the identification of indications of a possible change in the recoverable amounts

of the international mining assets of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, the Parent Entity’s Management Board performed impairment testing of these assets and took into account the results of these tests in the calculation

of expected credit losses on loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (these loans are not part of the net investment in the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M., and an allowance for the impairment of loans measured at amortised cost is set  pursuant to principles presented in note 6.2). The key indications to perform impairment testing were:

·        a significant change to the market paths of commodities prices forecasts,

·        a change in the assessed risk of individual projects and risk free rates which are the basis used to determine discount rates for testing purposes, and

·        a change in the technical and economic parameters of the mining assets of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group and Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (a joint venture in the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group) as respects production volumes, assumed operating costs and the level of capital expenditures during a mine’s life.

The key indications that the recoverable amount may be higher than the carrying amount, and therefore it may

be justifiable to reverse previously recognised impairment losses, were:

·        a change in risk free rates,

·        a change in price paths for gold, palladium, silver and nickel,

·        the assumed level of operating cost of the CGU Sierra Gorda,

·        risk evaluation of the CGU Robinson, and

·        extension of the Life of Mine of the CGU Robinson.

The key indications that the recoverable amount may be lower than the carrying amount, and therefore it may

be necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss, were:

·        a change in copper price paths,

·        the level of capital expenditures during the life of mine of Sierra Gorda,

·        the volume of production of the CGU Sierra Gorda,

·        risk evaluation of the CGU Sierra Gorda.

The following CGUs have been selected for the purpose of assessment of the recoverable amount of the assets

of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group:

·        the Robinson mine,

·        the Sudbury Basin, comprising the Morrison mine, the McCreedy mine and the pre-operational Victoria project,

·        the Franke mine,

·        the Carlota mine,

·        involvement in the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M., including loans granted, and

·        the Ajax project.

To determine the recoverable amount of assets during the testing, their fair value (decreased by costs to sell) was calculated using the DCF method, i.e. the method of discounted cash flows for the CGU Sudbury and involvement

in the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. and the value in use for the following CGUs: Franke, Robinson and Carlota.

As for the recoverable amount of the CGU KGHM Ajax, due to a lack of indications of changes in the recoverable amount, it was set at its carrying amount.

The fair value of the CGU Sudbury and the CGU Sierra Gorda S.C.M. were classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Basic macroeconomic assumptions adopted in the impairment testing – metal prices

Price paths were adopted on the basis of long-term forecasts available from financial and analytical institutions.

A specified forecast is being prepared for the period 2020-2024, while for the period 2025-2029 a technical adjustment of prices was applied between the last year of the specified forecast and 2030, from which a long-term metal price forecast is used, as follows:

-    for copper – 6 614 USD/t (3.00 USD/lb);

-    for gold – 1 500 USD/oz;

-    for nickel – 8.00 USD/lb.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

Assumptions adopted for testing of mineral reserves and resources

In its annual budgeting process, in order to determine its Reserves and Resources, the Group uses block models based on the price paths current at the moment of commencing work. Moreover, it takes into account information obtained, from the moment of preparation of the previous budget to the day the work commenced on the new budget, as a result of supplementary drilling (quality information, e.g. copper grade) and metallurgical drilling (e.g. copper recovery). Moreover, geotechnical and hydrogeological information is used.

The Victoria project’s deposit has copper-nickel ore with a significant percentage of precious metals. The identified mineralisation zone of the Victoria project was classified as “Inferred”. Exploration work commenced in 2008. Moreover, in the years 2015 – 2016 exploration work was performed on the deep part of the deposit, under the so-called Deep Drilling Program. In 2019, exploration work took place, aimed at deepening the knowledge of the project’s reserves and resources.

The mineralisation potential of the Pampa Lina deposit (CGU Sierra Gorda S.C.M deposit) was estimated based on the executed scope of exploration work, in particular on the basis of drilling performed, geophysical analyses and geological hypotheses. The estimation of Pampa Lina’s mineralisation potential is based on the work of specialist external companies and work executed by the company itself. Sierra Gorda S.C.M. has rights to the mineralisation of Pampa Lina.

Key factors responsible for the modification of technical and economic assumptions

Sierra Gorda

Increase in average operating margin due to a decrease in operating costs for the processing plant and mine.

Sudbury

Increase in the copper and precious metals ore resource base of the McCreedy mine thanks to drilling carried out in 2019. In addition, the commencement of mining of nickel ore from the McCreedy deposit was deferred from the year 2020 to 2021.

Robinson

The inclusion in the mining plans of the Liberty pit, at which mining has been suspended since 2013. This was thanks to additional drilling, geotechnical and metallurgical tests in the years 2018 and 2019 as well as to technical and feasibility analyses of the Liberty deposit prepared on their basis. Another factor is the introduction of changes in gold recovery calculations, due to the higher-than-assumed historical execution of forecasts in this regard.

Franke

Documentation of additional oxide ore resources and the update of mining plans, which enabled

the extension of mine life by an additional production year.

Carlota

Increase in the resource base for the Eder deposit and the delay in commencement of operations there. In addition, recovery calculations for copper leaching using SSL (sub-surface leaching) technology were updated.

* the carrying amount of fixed assets decreased by the provision for future decommissioning costs of mines, which in the case of the CGU Franke and the CGU Carlota was higher than the carrying amount of the tested assets,

** the carrying amount of CGU Sierra Gorda S.C.M. consists only of the amount of the loan granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M., because the carrying amount of the Group’s investment in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. equals 0 (Part 6. Involvement  in joint ventures).

The following took place as a result of the conducted test:

-    for the CGU Sudbury, a reversal of an impairment loss, which was recognised in the following items: “Other operating income” in the amount of PLN 150 million and “Cost of sales” in the amount of PLN 19 million,

-    for the CGU Sierra Gorda S.C.M., a reversal of an allowance for impairment, which was recognised

in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, in the item “gains due to reversal of allowances for impairment of loans granted to joint ventures”. On the basis of estimates on the repayment of loans granted, an increase

in the recoverable amount of receivables due to loans was identified, which was the basis to partially reverse an allowance for impairment recognised at the moment of initial recognition of a loan (POCI). The conducted test showed a recoverable amount for the investment in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. of 0.

The results of tests performed as at 31 December 2019 for the CGUs Robinson, Franke and Carlota confirmed that their recoverable amounts are equal to their carrying amounts.

TEST FOR IMPAIRMENT ON PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT OF ENERGETYKA SP. Z O.O. – Segment – Other segments

In the current period, due to indications of the possibility of changes in the recoverable amount of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the company Energetyka sp. z o.o., the Management Board of the Parent Entity performed impairment testing on these assets. The key indication to perform impairment testing in the current reporting period was a negative change in forecasted operating cash flows of Energetyka Sp. z o.o. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of Energetyka sp. z o.o. as at 31 December 2019 amounted to PLN 563 million. For the purpose of estimating the recoverable amount, in the conducted test the value in use of the cash generating unit, comprised of the property plant and equipment and intangible assets of the company, was measured using the DCF (discounted cash flows) method.

EVALUATION OF RISK OF IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS OF THE COMPANY INTERFERIE S.A. IN THE CONTEXT OF MARKET CAPITALISATION – Segment – Other segments

The market capitalisation of the subsidiary Interferie S.A. in 2019 was below the carrying amount of the company’s net assets, which in accordance with the adopted accounting policy was recognised by the company to be an indication

to perform impairment testing of the company’s assets (the carrying amount of the tested assets was PLN 106 million).

In order to assess the impairment, the Company identified the following CGUs: INTERFERIE in Ustronie Morskie – Leisure and Sanatorium Cechsztyn, INTERFERIE in Kołobrzeg Leisure and Sanatorium Chalkozyn, INTERFERIE in Dąbki Sanatorium Argentyt, INTERFERIE in Świeradów Zdrój – Hotel Malachit, INTERFERIE Hotel in Głogów and INTERFERIE Hotel Bornit in Szklarska Poręba. In order to assess the impairment, the fair value of the assets was estimated on the basis of the sum of future cash flows of individual CGUs discounted by the rate estimated on the basis of ratios used by the hotel industry, with the exception of CGU INTERFERIE Hotel in Głogów and CGU INTERFERIE Hotel Bornit in Szklarska Poręba, for which the fair value was determined on the basis of valuation reports.

The fair value was classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

TEST FOR IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPEMENT OF POL MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o. – Segment – Other segments

In the current period, due to indications of the possibility of changes in the recoverable amount of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the company POL MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o., the Management Board

of the Parent Entity performed impairment testing on these assets. The key indication to perform impairment testing

in the current reporting period was a loss for the period incurred by POL MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o. The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of POL MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o. as at 31 December 2019 amounted to PLN 238 million. For the purpose of estimating the recoverable amount, in the conducted test the value

in use of property plant and equipment and intangible assets of the company was measured using the DCF (discounted cash flows) method.

EVALUATION OF IMPAIRMENT OF WATER RIGHTS

In the Group, water rights in Chile are annually subjected to impairment testing by comparing their carrying amount

to the recoverable amount, which is set as fair value decreased by costs to sell. The fair value of water rights is classified under level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in which fair value measurements are based on significant observable input data, other than market prices.

For the year ended on 31 December 2019, the Group assessed the factors impacting the recoverable amount

of the asset and concluded that there are no grounds for recognising an impairment loss, as the water price

and the estimated amount of water available for extraction did not change compared to the level of these factors adopted for measurement as at 31 December 2018. The carrying amount of water rights amounted to PLN 65 million

as at 31 December 2019 (as at 31 December 2018: PLN 65 million).

It was determined that there are no indications of impairment of the other non-current assets of the Group.

Part 5 - Taxation

 Note 5.1 Income tax in the consolidated statement of profit or loss

Accounting policies

Income tax recognised in profit or loss comprises current income tax and deferred income tax.

Current income tax is calculated in accordance with current tax laws.

On the basis of an agreement entered into on 25 October 2018, a Tax Group “PGK KGHM II” was established for a period of 3 tax years, that is from 2019 to 2021. It is the second Tax Group founded within the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. The “PGK KGHM I” Tax Group operated in the years 2016-2018. Real benefits were noted in the period of operation of the first PGK KGHM, including the possibility of current utilisation of losses generated by some of the companies within PGK to settle them with the profits of other companies, and the positive result of an analysis of companies of the KGHM Group with respect to meeting the criteria indicated in the act on the corporate income tax were a basis to found a new tax group – PGK KGHM II.

PGK KGHM II is comprised of:

1)       KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

2)       Energetyka sp. z o.o.

3)       Zagłębie Lubin S.A.

4)       Miedziowe Centrum Zdrowia S.A.

Current tax adjustments for prior periods, recognised in the statement of profit or loss for 2019, concern CIT adjustments

for 2016 – 2018, prepared and settled with the tax office. The tax adjustment was prepared because, among others,

the Parent Entity recognised the following expenses as tax deductible costs:

-         expenditures incurred due to changes introduced to plans involving the reclassification of land, on which an investment is being advanced – these are expenses related, among others, to excluding land from agricultural and forestry production, and one-off compensations for premature forestry logging,

-         to obtain a concession for the exploration, evaluation and mining of minerals,

-         expenditures on components and major overhauls,

-         expenditures on the exploration for and evaluation of mineral deposits.

These expenses were recognised in the Parent Entity’s adjustment of the annual tax return as tax deductible costs after receiving positive judgments of the Administrative Court issued due to the Parent Entity’s complaints regarding negative interpretations of the Director of the National Revenue Administration.

In 2020, Group entities paid income tax in the amount of PLN 667 million (in 2019: PLN 410 million) to the appropriate tax offices.

In Poland, tax bodies are empowered to audit tax declarations for a period of five years, although during this period companies may offset tax assets with tax liabilities being the income of the State Treasury (including due to current income tax). In Canada, tax declarations may be audited for a period of three years without the right to offset assets with liabilities due to current income tax.

Note 5.1.1 Deferred income tax

Accounting policies

Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and tax laws that are expected to be applicable when the asset is realised

or the liability is settled based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are recognised

for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets

and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, with the exception of temporary differences arising from initial recognition of assets or liabilities in transactions other than business combinations, which do not have an impact either on profit/(loss) before tax  or on the taxable profit/(tax loss) at the moment they are concluded.

Deferred tax assets are recognised if it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset

if the company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities, and if the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied on a given entity by the same tax authority.

The probability of realising deferred tax assets with future tax income is based on the budgets of the companies of the Group. Companies of the Group recognised deferred tax assets in their accounting books to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

Companies of the Group which historically have generated losses, and whose financial projections

do not foresee the achievement of taxable profit enabling the deduction of deductible temporary differences, do not recognise deferred tax assets

in their accounting books.

Until 30 June 2019, the tax rate was calculated using the following formula: 0.033 x average copper price + (0.001

x average copper price)2,5. Since 1 July 2019, the tax rate has been calculated using the following formula: [(0.033 x average copper price + (0.001 x average copper price)2,5] x 85%.

The minerals extraction tax paid by the Parent Entity is calculated from the amount of copper and silver in produced concentrate and depends on the prices of these metals as well as on the USD/PLN exchange rate. The tax is accounted

for under manufacturing costs of basic products and is not deductible for corporate income tax purposes.

Part 6 – Involvement in joint ventures

Accounting policies

The item “involvement in joint ventures” comprises investments in joint ventures accounted for using the equity method and loans granted to joint ventures.

The Group classifies as investments accounted for using the equity method interests in joint ventures which are joint contractual arrangements, in which the parties sharing control have the right to the net assets of a given entity. Joint control occurs when decisions on the relevant activities of joint ventures require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

Investments are initially recognised at cost. The Group’s share in the profit or loss of entities accounted for using the equity method (assessed while taking into account the impact of measurements to fair value at the investment’s acquisition date) from the acquisition date is recognised in profit or loss, while its share in changes of accumulated other comprehensive income from the acquisition date is recognised in the relevant item of accumulated comprehensive income.

Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between the investor and the joint venture are eliminated in an amount proportional to the investor’s share in these profits/losses.

If there are any indications of a possibility of impairment, an investment is tested for impairment by calculating

the recoverable amount in accordance with the accounting policies presented in Part 3.

Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments

Joint control

The Group classifies Sierra Gorda S.C.M. as a joint venture under IFRS 11, in which KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.’s share equals 55%. Classification of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. as a joint venture, despite the 55% share of the Group, was made based on analysis of the terms of the agreements between the parties and contractual stipulations which indicated joint control. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements, all relevant activities of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. require the unanimous consent of both owners. The Group and other owners have three members each in the appointed Owners Council.

The Owners Council makes strategic decisions and is responsible for overseeing their execution. Moreover, it approves the appointment of senior management. In the reporting period, there were no changes to provisions that were

the basis of classifying the investment as a joint venture.

Pursuant to the Group’s judgment, loans granted to the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. do not meet the criteria

of recognition as net investments in a joint venture, because the loan’s settlement is planned and probable

in the foreseeable future.

As at 31 December 2020, the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group’s share in the unsettled accumulated losses of Sierra Gorda S.C.M amounted to PLN 4 909 million (as at 31 December 2019: PLN 4 988 million). The Group stopped recognising its share of losses of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. at the moment the value of this share exceeded the carrying amount of the interest in the investment in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. Recognition of the Group’s share of losses of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. caused

the carrying amount of shares in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. to be equal to PLN 0. After reducing the share to zero, the Group performed an analysis as to whether there is a legal or customary obligation to pay on Sierra Gorda S.C.M.’s behalf, which would result in an obligation of the Group to recognise a liability for this reason. Moreover, the Group analysed the terms of guarantees granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. to secure the payments due to lease contracts entered into, payment guarantees with respect to working capital facilities which meet the definition of financial guarantees and letters of credit to secure the proper performance of a long-term contract for the supply of electricity, which does not meet the definition of a financial guarantee pursuant to IFRS 9. Details on the guarantees granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. are described in Note 8.6.

On the basis of conducted analyses, the Group does not identify the existence of a legal or customary obligation to pay

on Sierra Gorda S.C.M.’s behalf, which is described in IAS 28.39.

as collateral to banks that granted an investment corporate bank loan to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. for the advancement

of the Sierra Gorda project. The collateral will expire when the bank loan is fully repaid, which is expected to take place

on 15 June 2021.

Note 6.2 Loans granted to a joint venture (Sierra Gorda S.C.M.)

Accounting policies

Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments

Loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. were classified as credit-impaired financial assets

due to the high credit risk at the moment of initial recognition (POCI). POCI loans are measured

at amortised cost
using the effective interest rate, adjusted by the credit risk using the scenario analysis and available free cash of Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

The terms of repayment of loans granted to finance operations abroad, including planned repayment dates, were set in individual agreements. Pursuant to the schedule, the principal amount

and interest are paid on demand, but not later than 15 December 2024.
Due to the implementation of IFRS 9 as at 1 January 2018, the expected, undiscounted credit loss at the moment of initial recognition was estimated to amount to PLN 6 105 million (USD 1 754 million per the 3.4813 USDPLN exchange rate of NBP dated 29 December 2017).

The start of repayment of loans by Sierra Gorda S.C.M. will depend on that company’s financial standing. It is assumed in the long-term plans of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. that the loans will be repaid with interest. The Group does not foresee a demand to repay the loan by the end of 2021, and therefore the loan is presented as a non-current receivable. Due to the fact that settling the loan is planned and probable in the foreseeable future, the loan is not a net investment under IAS 21.15.

Pursuant to the requirements of IFRS 9.5.5.17, the Group performed impairment testing of the loan. To estimate the expected credit losses, scenario analysis (IFRS 9.5.5.18) was used, comprising the Group’s assumptions on the repayment of the loan granted. Scenario analysis was based on cash flows adopted in December 2020 in Sierra Gorda S.C.M.’s budget, which were subsequently discounted using the effective interest rate method adjusted by the credit risk, determined at the initial recognition of the loan pursuant to IFRS 9.B5.5.45 at the level of 6.42%.

The loan granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. has a fixed interest rate.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group estimated cash flows on repayment of receivables due to loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. in the amount of PLN 6 069 million, which were higher than the carrying amount of loans (PLN 5 995 million) by the amount of PLN 74 million, as a result of which there was a reversal of an allowance for impairment recognised

at the moment of initial recognition of an asset (in the comparable period there was a reversal of an allowance

for impairment in the amount of PLN 106 million).

Methods and measurement techniques used by the Group in determining fair values of each class of financial assets or financial  liabilities.

Level 1

Listed shares

Shares are measured based on quotations from the Warsaw Stock Exchange and the TSX Venture Exchange in Toronto.

Long-term debt securities

Long-term debt securities are measured based on quotations from the Catalyst Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

Level 2

Unquoted shares

Unquoted shares are measured using the adjusted net assets. Observable Input data other than the ones from the active market were used in the measurement (e.g. transaction prices of real estate similar to the one subjected

to measurement, market interest rates of State Treasury bonds and term deposits in financial institutions, and the risk-free discount rate published by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority).

Trade receivables

Receivables arising from the realisation of sales under contracts which are finally settled using future prices were measured using forward prices, depending on the period/month of contractual quoting. Forward prices are from the Reuters system.

For trade receivables transferred to non-recourse factoring, a fair value is assumed at the level of the amount of the trade receivables transferred to the factor (nominal value from the invoice) less interest, which are the factor’s compensation. Due to the short term between the transfer of receivables to the factor and their payment, fair value is not adjusted by the credit risk of the factor and impact of time lapse.

Long-term loans granted

This item comprises loans measured at fair value, the fair value of which was estimated on the basis of contractual cash flows (per the contract) using the model of discounted cash flows, including the borrower’s credit risk.

Other financial assets/liabilities

Receivables/payables due to the settlement of derivatives, whose date of payment falls two working days after the end

of the reporting period were recognised in this item. These instruments were measured to fair value set per

the reference price applied in the settlement of these transactions.

Currency and currency-interest derivatives 

In the case of currency derivatives on the currency market and currency-interest transactions (CIRS), the forward prices from the maturity dates of individual transactions were used to determine their fair value. The forward price for currency exchange rates was calculated on the basis of fixing and appropriate interest rates. Interest rates for currencies

and the volatility ratios for exchange rates were taken from Reuters. The standard Garman-Kohlhagen model is used

to measure European options on currency markets.

Metals derivatives

In the case of derivatives on the commodity market, forward prices from the maturity dates of individual transactions were used to determine their fair value. In the case of copper, official closing prices from the London Metal Exchange were used, and with respect to silver and gold - the fixing price set by the London Bullion Market Association. Volatility ratios and forward prices for measurement of derivatives at the end of the reporting period were obtained from

the Reuters system. Levy’s approximation to the Black-Scholes model was used for Asian options pricing on metals markets.

Received long-term bank and other loans

The fair value of bank and other loans is estimated by discounting the cash flows associated with these liabilities in timeframes and under conditions arising from agreements, and by applying current rates. Fair value differs from the carrying amount by the amount of the premium paid to acquire the financing.

Level 3

Long-term loans granted

There was a transfer in the Group of financial instruments between individual levels of the fair value hierarchy in the reporting period. Due to utilisation of forecasted cash flows from international assets in the fair value measurement (an unmeasurable assumption classified to level 3), the Group transferred the measurement of loans granted from level 2 to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Pursuant to the adopted principle on transferring fair values between levels, as at 31 December 2020 an analysis of classification was made of fair value of financial instruments to levels of the fair value hierarchy. As a result of the analysis, a transfer was made from level 2 to level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, of loans measured at amortised cost in the financial statements in the amount of PLN 6 069 million.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                  

With respect to estimating the fair value of these loans, a significant element of the estimation are the forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda, which pursuant to IFRS 13 are unobservable input data, that is input data at level 3 of the fair value, which formed the basis for transferring the fair value of these loans to level 3 of the fair value. The discount rate used to calculate the fair value of loans measured at amortised cost is 9.58%.

Detailed disclosures on the assumptions adopted for the measurement of loans were presented in note 6.2, while the sensitivity of the fair value classified to level 3 for loans granted – in note 7.5.2.5.

The Group does not disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortised cost (except for long-term loans granted, long-term bank and other loans received and long-term debt securities) in the statement of financial position, because it makes use of the exemption arising from IFRS 7, paragraph 29 (Disclosure of information on the fair value is not required when the carrying amount is approximate to the fair value) .

Note 7.2 Derivatives

Accounting policies

Derivatives are classified as financial assets/liabilities held for sale, unless they have not been designated as hedging instruments.

Purchases or sales of derivatives are recognised at the transaction date.

Derivatives not designated as hedges, defined as trade derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value and at the end

of the reporting period are measured at fair value, with recognition of the gains/losses on measurement in profit

or loss.

In the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, the Parent Entity applies hedge accounting for cash flows. Hedge accounting aims at reducing volatility in the Parent Entity’s net result, arising from periodic changes in the measurement of transactions hedging individual types of market risk to which the Parent Entity is exposed. Hedging instruments may be derivatives as well as bank and other loans in foreign currencies.

The designated hedges relate to the future sales transactions forecasted as assumed in the Sales Plan for a given year. These plans are prepared based on the production capacities for a given period. The Parent Entity estimates that

the probability that transactions included in the production plan will occur is very high, as from the historical point

of view sales were always realised at the levels assumed in Sales Plans. Future cash flows arising from interest on bonds issued in PLN also represent a hedged position.

The Parent Entity may use natural currency risk hedging through the use of hedge accounting for bank and other loans denominated in USD, and designates them as positions hedging foreign currency risk, which relates to future revenues of the Parent Entity from sales of copper, silver and other metals, denominated in USD.

Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedging instrument are recognised in other comprehensive income, to the extent by which the change in fair value represents an effective hedge of the associated hedged item. The portion which is ineffective is recognised in profit or loss as other operating income or costs. Gains

or losses arising from the cash flow hedging instrument are recognised in profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment, in the same period or periods in which the hedged item affects profit or loss.

Derivatives are no longer accounted for as hedging instruments when they expire, are sold, terminated or settled,

or when the goal of risk management for a given relation has changed.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                  

The Parent Entity may designate a new hedging relationship for a given derivative, change the intended use of the derivative, or designate it to hedge another type of risk. In such a case, for cash flow hedges, gains or losses which arose in the periods in which the hedge was effective are retained in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item affects profit or loss.

If the hedge of a forecasted transaction ceases to function because it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur, then the net gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.

If a hybrid contract has a basic instrument which is not a financial asset, the derivative is separated from a basic instrument and is measured pursuant to rules for derivatives only if (i) the economic characteristic and risk of the embedded instrument are not strictly related to the character of the host contract and its risks, (ii) a separate instrument, whose characteristics reflect the traits of the embedded derivative, would fulfil the conditions of the derivatives, and (iii) the combined instrument is not classified to financial assets measured at fair value, whose results of revaluation are recognised in other income or other operating costs in the reporting period. If an embedded derivative is separated, the host instrument is measured pursuant to appropriate accounting principles. The Parent Entity separates embedded derivatives in commodities transactions with settlement periods in the future, after the date of recognising a purchase invoice in the books up to the date of final settlement of the transaction.

If a hybrid contract has a basic instrument, which is a financial asset, the criteria for classification of financial assets are applied to the whole contract.

Note 7.3 Other financial instruments measured at fair value

Accounting policies

The item “Other financial instruments measured at fair value” mainly includes: shares (listed and unquoted) which were not acquired for trading purposes, for which the option of measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income was selected in order to limit the volatility of the result, and loans granted measured at fair value through profit or loss,  as they did not pass the contractual cash flow test (SPPI), because in the financing structure of the target recipient of funds,  debt is changed into capital at the last stage, and that is why they were obligatorily classified to this category.

Shares are initially recognised at fair value increased by transaction costs, and at the end of the reporting period they are measured at fair value with recognition of gains/losses from measurement in other comprehensive income. The amounts recognised in accumulated other comprehensive income are not transferred later to profit or loss, while accumulated gains/losses on a given equity instrument are transferred within equity to retained earnings at the moment an equity instrument ceases to be recognised. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss.

The fair value of unquoted shares is calculated using the adjusted net assets method. The application of this method

is due to the specific nature of the assets of companies whose shares are subject to measurement.  Observable Input data other than the ones from the active market were used in the measurement (e.g. transaction prices of real estate similar to one subjected to measurement, market interest rates of State Treasury bonds and fixed-term deposits in financial institutions, and the risk-free discount rate published by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority).

The fair value of listed shares is calculated based on the closing price as at the end of the reporting period. 

The translation of shares expressed in a foreign currency is performed according to the accounting policies described

in Note 1.2.

The fair value of loans is set at the present value of future cash flows, including any change in market risk and credit risk factors during the loans’ life.

The measurement of listed shares is classified to level 1 of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. measurement is based

on the prices of these shares listed on an active market at the measurement date), while the measurement of unquoted shares is classified to level 2 (i.e. measurement based on observable data, not deriving from an active market).

The measurement of loans granted is classified to level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 

In 2020 as well as in 2019, there were no dividends or transfers of accumulated profit or loss within the equity of companies in which the Group had shares classified as other financial instruments measured at fair value.

Due to investments in listed companies, the Group is exposed to price risk. Changes in the listed share prices of these companies resulting from the current macroeconomic situation may have a significant impact on the level of other comprehensive income and on the accrued amount recognised in equity.

The following table presents the sensitivity analysis of listed companies’ shares to price changes.

Sensitivity analysis for significant types of market risk to which the Group is exposed presents the estimated impact

of potential changes in individual risk factors (at the end of reporting period) on profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Potential changes in share prices at the end of the reporting period were determined at the level of standard deviations from the WIG20 index for a period of 3 calendar years ended on the reporting date.

Note 7.4 Other financial instruments measured at amortised cost

Accounting policies

Important estimates, assumptions and judgements        

The item other financial instruments measured at amortised cost includes financial assets designated

to cover the costs of decommissioning mines and restoring tailings storage facilities (accounting policies with respect to the obligation to decommission mines and storage facilities are presented in Note 9.4) and other financial assets not classified to other items.

Assets included, in accordance with IFRS 9, in the category “measured at amortised cost”, are initially recognised

at fair value adjusted by transaction costs, which

can be directly attributed to the purchase of these assets and measured at amortised cost at the end of the reporting period using the effective interest rate method, reflecting impairment.

Sensitivity analysis of the risk of changes in interest rates

of cash accumulated on bank accounts of the Mine Closure Fund and Tailings Storage Facility Restoration Fund 

and of investments in debt securities is presented in Note 7.5.1.4.

o    risk of changes in foreign exchange rates,

o    risk of changes in interest rates,

o    price risk related to investments in shares of listed companies (Note 7.3),

·      credit risk, and

·      liquidity risk (the process of financial liquidity management is described in Note 8).

The Group identifies and measures financial risk on an ongoing basis, and also takes actions aimed at minimising its impact on the financial position.

The Parent Entity manages identified financial risk factors in a conscious and responsible manner, using the adopted Market Risk Management Policy, the Financial Liquidity Management Policy and the Credit Risk Management Policy.

The process of financial risk management in the Parent Entity is supported by the work of the Market Risk Committee,

the Financial Liquidity Committee and the Credit Risk Committee.

Note 7.5.1 Market risk

The market risk to which the Group is exposed to is understood as the possible occurrence of negative impact

on the Group's results arising from changes in the market prices of commodities, exchange rates, interest rates, and debt securities, as well as the share prices of listed companies.

Note 7.5.1.1 Principles and techniques of market risk management

In market risk management (especially commodity and currency risk) the scale and profile of activities of the Parent Entity and of mining companies of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. is of the greatest significance and impact 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 KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group’s global exposure as a whole.

In accordance with the adopted policy, the goals of the market risk management process in the Group are as follows:

§  limit volatility in the financial result;

§  increase the probability of meeting budget targets;

§  decrease the probability of losing financial liquidity;

§  maintain financial health; and

§  support the process of strategic decision making related to investing activities, including financing sources.

The objectives of market risk management should be considered as a whole, and their realisation is determined mainly by the Group’s internal situation and market conditions.

The goals of market risk management at the Group level are achieved through their realisation in individual mining companies of the Group, with the coordination of these activities at the Parent Entity’s level, in which key tasks related

to the process of market risk management in the Group were centralised (such as coordination of the identification

of sources of exposure to market risk, proposing hedging strategies, contacting financial institutions in order to sign, confirm and settle derivative transactions, and calculating measurements to fair value).

The primary technique used by the Parent Entity in market risk management is the utilisation of hedging strategies involving derivatives. Natural hedging is also used. Some other domestic companies of the Group make use of derivatives. However, only the Parent Entity applies hedging strategies, as understood by hedge accounting.

Taking into account the potential scope of their impact on the Group’s results, market risk factors were divided into the following groups:

Group

Market risk

Approach to risk management

Note 7.2

Group I – factors having the greatest impact on the Group’s total exposure to market risk

Copper price

A strategic approach is applied to this group, aimed at systematically building up a hedging position comprising production and revenues from sales for subsequent periods while taking into account the long-term cyclical nature of various markets. A hedging position may be restructured before it expires.

Note 7.2

Silver price

Note 7.2

USD/PLN exchange rate

Note 7.2

Group II – other exposures to market risk

Prices of other metals and merchandise

From the Group’s point of view, this group is comprised of less significant risks, although sometimes these risks are significant from an individual entity points of view. Therefore, it is tactically managed - on an ad-hoc basis, taking advantage of favourable market conditions.

Note 7.2

Other exchange rates

Note 7.2

Interest rates

In market risk management various approaches are applied for particular, identified exposure groups.

The Parent Entity considers the following factors when selecting hedging strategies or restructuring hedging positions: current and forecasted market conditions, the internal situation of the Entity, the effective level and cost of hedging,

and the impact of the minerals extraction tax.

The Parent Entity applies an integrated approach to managing the market risk to which it is exposed. This means

a comprehensive approach to market risk, and not to each element individually. An example is the hedging transactions on the currency market, which are closely related to contracts entered into on the metals market. The hedging of metals sales prices determines the probability of achieving specified revenues from sales in USD, which represent a hedged position for the strategy on the currency market.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

The Parent Entity only executes those derivatives which it has the ability to evaluate internally, using standard pricing models appropriate for a particular type of derivative, and which can be traded without significant loss of value with

a counterparty other than the one with whom the transaction was initially entered into. In the market valuation of a given instrument, the Parent Entity uses information obtained from leading information services, banks, and brokers.

The Market Risk Management Policy in the Group permits the use of the following types of instruments:

§  swaps;

§  forwards and futures;

§  options; and

§  structures combining the above instruments.

The instruments applied may be, therefore, either of standardised parameters (publicly traded instruments) or non-standardised parameters (over-the-counter instruments). The primary instruments applied are cash flow hedging instruments meeting the requirements for effectiveness as understood by hedge accounting. The effectiveness

of the financial hedging instruments applied by the Parent Entity in the reporting period is continually monitored and assessed (details in Note 7.2 Derivatives - accounting policies).

The economic relationship between a hedging instrument and a hedged position is based on the sensitivity of the value of the position to the same market factors (metals prices, exchange rates or interest rates) and on matching appropriate key parameters of the hedging instrument and the hedged position (volume/notional amount, maturity date).

The hedge ratio of the established hedging relationship is set at the amount ensuring the effectiveness of the relationship and is consistent with the actual volume of the hedged position and the hedging instrument. Sources of potential ineffectiveness of the relationship arise from a mismatch of the parameters of the hedging instrument and the hedged position (e.g. the notional amount, maturity, base instrument, impact of credit risk). When structuring a hedging transaction, the Parent Entity aims to ensure a maximal match between these parameters to minimise the sources

of ineffectiveness.

The Parent Entity quantifies its market risk exposure using a consistent and comprehensive measure. Market risk management in the Group is supported by simulations (such as scenario analysis, stress-tests, backtests) and calculated risk measures. The risk measures being used are mainly based on mathematical and statistical modelling, which uses historical and current market data concerning risk factors and takes into consideration the current exposure to market risk.

One of the measures used as an auxiliary tool in making decisions in the market risk management process in the Parent Entity is EaR - Earnings at Risk. This measure indicates the lowest possible level of profit for the period for a selected level of confidence (for example, with 95% confidence the profit for a given year will be not lower than…). The EaR methodology enables the calculation of profit for the period incorporating the impact of changes in market prices

of copper, silver and foreign exchange rates in the context of budget plans. EBITDA-at-Risk ratio is calculated for both

the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group and the JV Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

Due to the risk of production cutbacks (for example because of force majeure) or failure to achieve planned foreign currency revenues, as well as purchases of metals contained in purchased materials, limits with respect to commitment in derivatives have been set.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

For the Parent Entity limits on metals and currency markets were set at:

§  up to 85% of planned, monthly sales volumes of copper, silver and gold from own concentrates, while:

for copper and silver - up to 50% with respect to instruments which are obligations of the Parent Entity

(for financing the hedging strategy), and up to 85% with respect to instruments representing the rights of the Parent Entity,

§  up to 85% of planned, monthly revenues from the sale of products from own concentrates in USD

or of the monthly, contracted net currency cash flows in the case of other currencies. For purposes of setting the limit, expenses for servicing the debt denominated in USD decrease the nominal amount of exposure

to be hedged.

With respect to the risk of changes in interest rates, the Parent Entity has set a limit of commitment in derivatives

of up to 100% of the debt’s nominal value in every interest period, as stipulated in the signed agreements.

For selected mining companies in the Group, limits were set for commitment in derivatives on the copper and currency markets at the same levels as those functioning in the Parent Entity, while with respect to transactions on the nickel, silver and gold markets the limits were set as up to 60% of planned, monthly sales volume from own concentrates.

These limits are in respect both of hedging transactions as well as of the instruments financing these transactions.

The maximum time horizon within which the Group decides to limit market risk is set in accordance with the technical and economic planning process and amounts to 5 years, whereas in terms of interest rate risk, the time horizon reaches up to the maturity date of the long-term financial liabilities of the Group.

Note 7.5.1.2 Commodity risk

The Parent Entity is exposed to the risk of changes in the prices of the metals it sells: copper, silver, gold and lead. Furthermore, the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group is exposed to the risk of changes in the prices of copper, gold, nickel, molybdenum, platinum and palladium.

In the Parent Entity and the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, the price formulas used in physical delivery contracts are mainly based on average monthly quotations from the London Metal Exchange for copper and other common metals and from the London Bullion Market for precious metals. Within the commercial policy, the Parent Entity and KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. set the price base for physical delivery contracts as the average price of the appropriate future month.

The permanent and direct link between sales proceeds and metals prices, without similar relationships

on the expenditures side, results in a strategic exposure. In turn, operating exposure is a result of possible mismatches

in the pricing of physical contracts with respect to the Group’s benchmark profile, in particular in terms of the reference prices and the quotation periods.

On the metals market, the Group has a so-called long position, which means it has higher sales than purchases.

The analysis of the Group’s strategic exposure to market risk should be performed by deducting from the volume

of metals sold the amount of metal in purchased materials.

The Group’s strategic exposure to the risk of changes in the price of copper and silver in the years 2019-2020 is presented

 in the table below:

The notional amount of copper price hedging strategies settled in 2020 represented approx. 34% (in 2019: 22%)

of the total sales of this metal realised by the Parent Entity (it represented approx. 47% of net sales
[1] in 2020 and 30%

in 2019), while the notional amount of silver price hedging strategies settled in 2020 represented approx. 8% of the total sales of this metal realised by the Parent Entity (i
n 2019 revenues from silver sales were not hedged by derivatives).

As part of the realisation of the strategic plan to hedge the Parent Entity against market risk, in 2020  hedging strategies were implemented on the copper and silver markets.

On the copper market, seagull hedging strategies were implemented and put options were purchased hedging future sales revenues for years 2021-2023 for a total notional amount of 402 thousand tonnes. On the other hand, seagull structures were implemented on the silver market, hedging sales revenues for years 2021-2023 for a total notional amount of 24.6 million ounces. Additionally, in 2020 the Parent Entity managed the open hedging position by restructuring option structures on the copper market[2]. Part of the seagull options structure hedging revenues from sales in the period from March to December 2020 with a total notional amount of 20 thousand tonnes was closed. Hedging transactions covered by restructuration were excluded from hedge accounting as of the date the opposite restructuring transactions were entered into. In addition, sold put options were redeemed with a  strike price of 4 000 USD/t in the total notional amount of 84 thousand tonnes, entered into in previous periods in terms of seagull strategies hedging revenues from copper sales in 2021.

In 2020 QP adjustment swap transactions were entered into on the copper and gold markets with maturities of up to June 2021, as part of the management of a net trading position[3].

As a result, as at 31 December 2020 the Parent Entity held open derivatives positions for 406.4 thousand tonnes of copper (of which: 402 thousand tonnes came from strategic management of market risk, while 4.4 thousand tonnes came from the management of a net trading position) and 24.6 million troy ounces of silver.

The condensed tables of open derivatives transactions held by the Parent Entity on the copper and silver markets

as at 31 December 2020, entered into as part of the strategic management of market risk, are presented below (the hedged notional in the presented periods is allocated evenly on a monthly basis).

Note 7.5.1.3 Risk of changes in foreign exchange rates

Regarding the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates within the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, the following types

of exposures were identified:

·      transaction exposure related to the volatility of cash flows in the base currency;

·      exposure related to the volatility of selected items of the statement of financial position in the base (functional) currency;

·      the exposure to net investments in foreign operations as concerns the volatility of consolidated equity in the Group’s base currency (presentation currency).

The transaction exposure to currency risk derives from cash flow-generating contracts, whose values expressed

in the base (functional) currency depend on future levels of exchange rates of the foreign currencies with respect to the base currency. Cash flows exposed to currency risk may possess the following characteristics:

·       denomination in the foreign currency – cash flows are settled in foreign currencies other than the functional currency; and

·       indexation in the foreign currency – cash flows may be settled in the base currency, but the price (i.e. of a metal) is set in a different foreign currency.

The key source of exposure to currency risk in the Parent Entity’s business operations are the proceeds from sales

of products (with respect to metals prices, processing and producer margins).

The exposure to currency risk also derives from items in the consolidated statement of financial position denominated

in foreign currencies, which under the existing accounting regulations must be translated, upon settlement or periodic valuation, including the translation of foreign operations statements, by applying the current exchange rate of the foreign currencies versus the base (functional) currency. Changes in the carrying amounts of such items between valuation dates result in the volatility of profit or loss for the period or of other comprehensive income.

Items in the consolidated statement of financial position which are exposed to currency risk include in particular:

·        trade receivables and trade payables related to purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies;

·        financial receivables due to loans granted in foreign currencies;

·        financial liabilities due to borrowings in foreign currencies;

·        cash and cash equivalents in foreign currencies; and

·        derivatives on metals market.

As for the currency market, the notional amount of settled transactions hedging revenues from metals sales amounted

to approx. 25% (in 2019: 21%) of the total revenues from sales of copper and silver realised by the Parent Entity in 2020.

As part of the realisation of the strategic plan to hedge the Company against market risk, in 2020 the Parent Entity implemented Seagull option structures hedging against a change in the USD/PLN exchange rate in years 2022-2023 with

a total notional amount of USD 720 million.

Additionally, in 2020 the Parent Entity managed the open hedging position by restructuring option structures on the currency market[4].  Sold call options were redeemed with a strike price of USDPLN 4.25 from the collar options structure, with maturities from May to December 2020 in the total notional amount of USD 300 million. In terms of restructuration, seagull options structure with a total notional amount of USD 90 million and maturities from January 2022 to December 2023 were closed and at the same time sold call options with  strike prices of USDPLN 4.30 and 4.40 in the total notional amount of USD 780 million and maturities from January 2021 to December 2021 were redeemed, which were earlier entered into as part of the seagull structures. Thereby these structures were transformed in the put spread structures. Hedging transactions covered by restructuration were excluded from hedge accounting as of the date the opposite restructuring transactions were entered into.

As a result, as at 31 December 2020 the Company held  an open hedging position on the currency market for USD 1 410 million, and in 2019 entered into Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (CIRS) transactions for the notional amount

of PLN 2 billion, hedging against the market risk connected with the issue of bonds in PLN with a variable interest rate
[5].

The condensed table of open transactions in derivatives of the Parent Entity on the currency market as at 31 December 2020 is presented below (the hedged notional in the presented periods is allocated evenly on a monthly basis).

Some of the Group’s Polish companies managed the currency risk related to their core business (among others trade)

by opening transactions in derivatives, among others on the USD/PLN and EUR/PLN markets. The table of open transactions as at 31 December 2020 is not presented, due to its immateriality for the Group.

As for managing currency risk, the Parent Entity applies natural hedging by borrowing in the currency in which it has revenues. As at 31 December 2020, following their translation to PLN, the bank loans and the investment loans which were drawn in USD amounted to PLN 4 321 million (as at 31 December 2019: PLN 4 980 million).

The currency structure of financial instruments exposed to currency risk (change in the USD/PLN, EUR/PLN, CAD/PLN

and GBP/PLN exchange rates) of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and sensitivity analysis to the risk of changes

in the exchange rates are presented in the tables below. In order to determine the potential changes in the USD/PLN, EUR/PLN, CAD/PLN and GBP/PLN exchange rates for sensitivity analysis purposes, the Black-Scholes model

(the geometrical Brownian motion) was used.

Note 7.5.1.4 Interest rate risk

In 2020 the Group was exposed to the risk of changes in interest rates due to loans granted to joint ventures, investing cash, the reverse factoring program and using borrowings.

Positions with variable interest rates expose the Group to the risk of changes in cash flow from a given position

as a result of changes in interest rates (i.e. it has an impact on the interest costs or income recognised in profit or loss). Positions with fixed interest rates expose the Group to the risk of fair value changes of a given position, excluding positions measured at amortised cost, for which the change in fair value does not affect their measurement and profit

or loss.

The main items which are exposed to interest rate risk are presented below:

In order to improve financial liquidity of the Parent Entity, during the period ended 31 December 2020, the Parent Entity was carried out a

reverse factoring agreement entered into in 2019 and implemented another reverse factoring agreement. Consequently, for a part

of the portfolio of trade payables, an extension of payment dates was agreed upon in exchange for additional consideration in the form

of interest. Interest is calculated with a variable rate, based on a fixed margin increased by a specified reference rate determined for individual currencies. Details on reverse factoring may be found in note 8.4.1, note 10.3 and note 10.4.  

As part of the strategic management of interest rate risk, in 2019 the Parent Entity entered into Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (CIRS) transactions for the notional amount of PLN 2 billion, hedging against the market risk connected with the issue of bonds in PLN with a variable interest rate[6]. CIRS transactions  open as at 31 December 2020 are presented in note 7.5.1.3.

Note 7.5.1.5 Impact of hedge accounting on the financial statements

The following table contains information on changes in the fair value of instruments, as well as corresponding changes in the fair value of hedged positions during the reporting period, being

the basis for recognising the effective and ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of hedging instruments in the years 2019-2020. In hedging relations, only the intrinsic value of the option is designated as a hedging instrument. The balance of other comprehensive income, presented below, shows a full change in the value of options, including the intrinsic value (effective part) and time value (understood as hedging cost). The time value approximates zero in the horizon of a hedging relation.

The hedge’s inefficiency recognised in the statements of profit or loss in the reporting periods 2019-2020 was immaterial.

Note 7.5.2 Credit risk

Credit risk is defined as the risk that the Group’s counterparties will not be able to meet their contractual liabilities

and involves three main areas:

§  the creditworthiness of the customers with whom physical sales transactions are undertaken;

§  the creditworthiness of the financial institutions (banks/brokers) with whom, or through whom, hedging transactions are undertaken, as well as those in which free cash and cash equivalents are deposited; and

§  the financial standing of subsidiaries - borrowers.

In particular, the sources of exposure to credit risk are:

§  cash and cash equivalents and deposits;

§  derivatives;

§  trade receivables;

§  loans granted (Note 6.2);

§  guarantees granted (Note 8.6); and

§  other financial assets.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

Accounting policies

The Group recognises impairment loss on expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost. Expected credit losses  are  credit losses  weighed by the default probability. The Group applies the following models

for designating impairment losses:

- the simplified model – for trade receivables,

- the general (basic) model – for other financial assets.

Under the general model the Group monitors changes in the level of credit risk related to a given financial asset

and classifies financial assets to one of three stages of determining impairment losses – based on observations of changes in the level of credit risk compared to an instrument’s initial recognition. In particular, the following are monitored: the credit rating and the financial condition of the customer and the payment delay period. Depending on which stage it is classified to, an impairment loss is estimated for a 12-month period (stage 1) or in the horizon of lifetime (stage 2 and stage 3). The absolute indicator of default is an overdue period of more than 90 days.

Under  the simplified model the Group does not monitor changes in the level of credit risk during an instrument’s life  and estimates the expected credit loss over the time horizon of maturity of the instrument based on historical data respecting the repayments of receivables.

Note 7.5.2.1 Credit risk related to cash, cash equivalents and bank deposits

The Group allocates periodically free cash in accordance with the requirements to maintain financial liquidity and limit risk and in order to protect capital and maximise interest income.

As at 31 December 2020, the total amount of free and restricted cash and cash equivalents of PLN 2 522 million was held in bank accounts and in short-term deposits.

All entities with which deposit transactions are entered into by the Group operate in the financial sector. Analysis of exposure to this type of risk indicated that these are solely banks with the highest, medium-high and medium ratings, and which have an appropriate level of equity and a strong, stable market position. The credit risk in this regard is monitored through the on-going review of the financial standing and by maintaining an appropriately low concentration levels in individual financial institutions.

The following table presents the level of concentration of cash and deposits, with the assessed creditworthiness of the financial institutions*.

Impairment losses on cash and cash equivalents were determined individually for each balance of a given financial institution. External bank ratings were used to measure credit risk. The analysis determined that these assets have a low credit risk at the reporting date. The Group used a simplification permitted by the standard and the impairment loss was determined on the basis of 12-month credit losses.

The calculation of impairment determined that the amount  of impairment loss is insignificant. These assets are classified to Degree 1 of the impairment model.

Taking into consideration the fair value of open derivatives transactions entered into by the Group and receivables

and liabilities due to settled derivatives, as at 31 December 2020 the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 36%, or PLN 158 million (as at 31 December 2019: 15%,

or PLN 49 million).

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

In order to reduce cash flows and at the same time to limit credit risk, the Parent Entity carries out net settlements (based on standard framework agreements entered into with its customers, regulating the trade of financial instruments, meaning ISDA or based on a formula of the Polish Bank Association). Moreover, the resulting credit risk is continuously monitored

by reviewing 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 solely 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 following table presents the structure of ratings of the financial institutions with whom the Group had derivatives transactions, representing exposure to credit risk.

Note 7.5.2.3 Credit risk related to trade receivables

The following Group companies have significant trade receivables: the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group

PLN 353 million, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. PLN 305 million, CENTROZŁOM WROCŁAW S.A. PLN 72 million, NITROERG S.A. PLN 33 million, WPEC w Legnicy S.A. PLN 30 million, „MCZ” S.A. PLN 15 million, and WMN “Łabędy” PLN 10 million.

The Parent Entity limits its exposure to credit risk related to trade receivables by evaluating and monitoring the financial condition of its customers, setting credit limits, requiring collateral, and non-recourse factoring. The terms of factoring agreements entered into meet the criteria of removing receivables from the books at the moment of their purchase

by the factor. As at 31 December 2020, the amount of receivables transferred to factoring, for which payment from factors was not received, amounted to PLN 15 million (as at 31 December 2019: PLN 22 million). Information on the amount of revenues from sales subjected to factoring in the financial period is presented in note 2.4.

An inseparable element of the credit risk management process performed by the Parent Entity is the continuous monitoring of receivables and the internal reporting system.

Buyer’s credit is only provided to proven, long-term customers. In the case of new customers, an effort is made to ensure that sales are based on prepayments or trade financing instruments which wholly transfer the credit risk to financial institutions.

The Parent Entity makes use of the following forms of collateral:

·        registered pledges, bank guarantees, promissory notes, notarial enforcement declarations, corporate guarantees, cessation of receivables, mortgages and documentary collection;

·        ownership rights to goods to be transferred to the buyer only after payment is received;

·        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 above forms of collateral and the credit limits received from the insurance company, as at 31 December 2020 the Parent Entity had secured 75% of its trade receivables (as at 31 December 2019, 64%).

Moreover, the Parent Entity enters into net settlement framework agreements, when it recognises both receivables

and liabilities with the same customer.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

Although KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. does not use collateral, credit risk connected with trade receivables is subject

to monitoring, and the majority of sales are to proven, long-term customers conducting international activities.

Assessment of concentration of credit risk in the Group:

Sector concentration

While KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. operate in the same sector, these two companies are different both in terms of their portfolios of products as well as in terms

of the geographic location and nature of their customers, and consequently this sector concentration of credit risk is considered to be acceptable.

Other companies of the Group operate in various economic sectors, such as transport, construction, commerce, industrial production and energy. As a consequence, in the case of most Group companies, in terms of sectors, there is no concentration of credit risk.

Customers concentration

As at 31 December 2020 the balance of receivables from the 7 largest customers represented 42%

of trade receivables (2019: 29%). Despite the concentration of this type of risk, it is believed that due to the availability of historical data and the many years of experience cooperating with its customers, as well as to the securing used, the level of credit risk is low.

Geographical concentration

Companies of the Group have been cooperating for many years with a large number of customers, which affects the geographical diversification of trade receivables. Geographical concentration

of credit risk for trade receivables is presented in the table below:

Accounting policies

The Group applies the simplified model of calculating the allowance for impairment of trade receivables (regardless

of their maturity).
The expected credit loss on trade receivables is calculated at the closest ending date of the reporting period after the moment of recognition of a receivable in the statement of financial position and is updated at every subsequent reporting period ending date. In order to estimate the expected credit loss on trade receivables, the Group’s entities apply provision matrices, made on the basis of historical levels of payment of trade receivables, which are periodically recalibrated in order to update them.

Loss allowance for expected credit losses is measured at the amount equal to expected credit losses during the whole life of the receivables. The Group adopted an assumption that the receivable risk is characterised by the number of days of delay and this parameter determines the estimated PD, i.e. the probability of a delay in payment of trade receivables by at least 90 days. For the purpose of estimating PD, 5 risk groups have been selected based on the criteria of number of days in payment, according to ranges presented below as “Important estimates and assumptions”.

Default is defined as being a failure by a customer to meet its liabilities after a period of 90 days from the due date.

In order to estimate the
loss allowance for expected credit losses, collateral is also taken into account by allocating expected recovery rates to the particular types of collateral.

Moreover, forward-looking information is taken into account in the applied parameters of the model for estimating expected losses, by adjusting the base coefficients of default probability. This means that if as a result of analysis

of macroeconomic data, such as for example: current GDP dynamics, inflation, unemployment rate, or WIG index, the Group recognises any deterioration in them in comparison to the previous period, in the ECL calculation the looking forward factor, which corrects risk connected with any decrease in receivables recovery, is taken into account. As at 31 December 2020, or the end of the reporting period, no deterioration of macroeconomic factors was noted.

Note 7.5.2.4 Credit risk related to loans granted to the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (POCI)

Credit risk related to loans granted depends on risk related to the realisation of the joint mining venture in Chile (Sierra Gorda S.C.M.). These loans, as a result of the impairment recognised at the moment of initial recognition due to credit risk, were classified as POCI, and are measured at the end of the subsequent reporting periods at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method and the effective discount rate adjusted by credit risk.

The basis for accruing interest on POCI loans is their gross value less any allowance for impairment at the moment

of initial recognition.

The loan granted does not have collateral limiting the exposure to credit risk, therefore the amount exposed to potential loss due to credit risk is the gross amount of the loan.

Sensitivity analysis of the fair value of loans due to the change in forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group classified the measurement to fair value of loans granted to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because of the utilisation in the measurement of a significant unmeasurable parameter, being the forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. These cash flows are the most sensitive to changes in copper prices, which implies other assumptions such as forecasted production and operating margin. Therefore, the Group performed a sensitivity analysis of the fair value of loans to changes in copper prices.

Because of the significant sensitivity of the forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. to changes in copper price, pursuant to IFRS 13 p.93.f the Group performed a sensitivity analysis of the fair value (level 3) of loans to changes in copper prices.

Note 7.5.2.5 Credit risk related to other financial assets

As at 31 December 2020, the most significant item in other financial assets was cash accumulated on bank deposits

in the special purpose funds: Mine Closure Fund and Tailings Storage Facility Restoration Fund in the amount

of PLN 402 million.

All special purpose deposits of the Group, which are dedicated to collection of cash for future decommissioning costs

of mines and other technological facilities and restoration of tailing storage facilities, are carried out by banks

with the highest or medium-high ratings confirming the security of the deposited cash.

The tables below presents the level of cash concentration within special purpose funds dedicated to the collection of cash by the Group for future decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities and restoration of tailing storage facilities, according to the credit ratings of financial institutions holding special purpose deposits and according

Impairment losses on cash accumulated on bank accounts of special purpose funds: the Mine Closure Fund and Tailings Storage Facility Restoration Fund, were determined individually for each balance of a given financial institution. External bank ratings were used to measure credit risk. The analysis determined that these assets have a low credit risk

at the reporting date. The Group used a simplification permitted by the standard and the impairment loss was determined on the basis of 12-month credit losses. The calculation of impairment determined that the amount of impairment loss is insignificant.
These assets are classified to Degree 1 of the impairment model

Note 8.2 Equity

Accounting policies

Share capital is recognised at nominal value.

Other reserves from the measurement of financial instruments arise from the measurement of cash flow hedging instruments (Note 7.2, accounting policies) and the measurement of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (Note 7.3, accounting policies) less any deferred tax effects.

Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of exchange differences from the translation of foreign operations statements with a functional currency other than PLN (Note 1.2, accounting policies) and actuarial gains/losses on post-employment benefits programs less any deferred tax effect (Part 11, accounting policies).

Retained earnings are the sum of profit for the current financial year and accumulated profits from previous years, which have not been paid out as dividends, but were transferred to the reserve capital or were not distributed.

Note 8.2.1 Share capital

As at 31 December 2020 and at the date of signing of these financial statements, the Parent Entity’s share capital,

in accordance with the entry in the National Court Register, amounted to PLN 2 000 million and was divided

into 200 000 000 shares, series A, fully paid, each having a face value of PLN 10. All of the shares are bearer shares.

The Parent Entity has not issued preference shares. Each share grants the right to one vote at the general meeting.

The Parent Entity does not have treasury shares. Subsidiaries and joint ventures do not have shares of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

In the years ended 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019 there were no changes in either registered share capital

or in the number of issued shares.

In 2020, there were changes in the ownership of significant blocks of shares of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

Based on the Act of 15 September 2000, the Commercial Partnerships and Companies Code, the Parent Entity is required to create reserve capital for any potential (future) or existing losses, to which no less than 8% of a given financial year’s profit is transferred until the reserve capital has been built up to no less than one-third of the registered share capital. The reserve capital created in this manner may not be employed otherwise than in covering the loss reported in the financial statements.

As at 31 December 2020 the statutory reserve capital in the Group’s entities amounts to PLN 778 million, of which

PLN 667 million relates to the Parent Entity, and is recognised in retained earnings.

Information related to dividends paid may be found in Note 12.2.

Note 8.3 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 a body supporting the Management Board

in this regard.

The management of financial liquidity in the Group is performed in accordance with the Financial Liquidity Management Policy in the KGHM Group. This document comprehensively describes processes of managing financial liquidity in the Group, which are realised by Group companies, while their organisation, coordination and supervision is performed by the Parent Entity by using appropriate procedures and instruments. The basic principles resulting from this document are:

·          assuring the stable and effective financing of the Group’s activities,

·          continuous monitoring of the Group’s debt level,

·          effective management of working capital, and

·          coordination, by the Parent Entity, of processes of financial liquidity management in the Group companies.

Under the liquidity management process, the Group utilises instruments which enhance its effectiveness.

One of the instruments used by the Group to deal with on-going operating activities is cash pooling – local in PLN,

USD and EUR and international - in USD and CAD. The cash pooling service is aimed at optimising the management

of cash resources, limiting interest costs, the effective financing of current working capital needs and the support of short-term financial liquidity in the Group.

In 2020, the Group continued actions aimed at ensuring long-term financial stability by basing the financial structure

on diversified and long term financing sources. In December 2020, the Parent Entity used the option to extend the term of an unsecured revolving syndicated credit facility agreement by one year, in the amount of USD 1 500 million (PLN 5 638 million) signed in 2019. As a result of Syndicate Members’ decision, the available amount of financing granted

in the extension period will amount to USD 1 438 million (PLN 5 405 million).

In 2020, actions were also continued aimed at optimising the financial liquidity management process by concentrating mainly on the effective management of working capital by using reverse factoring and factoring. The effect

of implementation of factoring transactions is shortening the receivables turnover cycle
and an extension of the turnover cycle of liabilities.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group’s liabilities due to borrowing, debt securities issued and leases amounted to PLN 7 335 million, or USD 1 171 million, PLN 2 813 million, EUR 15 million, CAD 17 million and in other currencies in the amount of PLN 4 million (as at 31 December 2019 liabilities amounted to PLN 7 873 million, or USD 1 321 million, PLN 2 744 million, EUR 14 million, CAD 12 million and in other currencies in the amount of PLN 16 million).

As at 31 December 2020, the balance of  trade payables transferred to reverse factoring by the Parent Entity amounted

to PLN 1 264 million (as at 31 December 2019: PLN 596 million).

Trade payables transferred to reverse factoring are presented in the statement of financial position as “Trade and similar payables” and are in the category of “similar”, as due to the significant judgment of the Management Board of the Parent Entity presented in Note 10.4 of these Consolidated financial statements, such a presentation most accurately presents the nature of these transactions.

The structure of debt confirms the effective advancing of the strategy of the Group, aimed at ensuring long term financial stability by basing the financial structure on diversified and long term financing sources.

Note 8.4.3 Detailed information concerning the main sources of borrowings

As at 31 December 2020, the Group had open credit lines, loans and debt securities with a total balance of available financing in the amount of PLN 13 145 million, out of which PLN 6 679 million had been drawn (as at 31 December 2019 the Group had open credit lines and investment loans with a total balance of available financing in the amount of PLN 14 567 million, out of which PLN 7 181 million had been drawn).

The structure of financing sources is presented below.

Unsecured, revolving syndicated credit facility

A credit facility in the amount of USD 1 500 million (PLN 5 638 million), obtained on the basis of a financing agreement concluded by the Parent Entity with a syndicate of banks in 2019 with a maturity of 19 December 2024 and an option

to extend it by a further 2 years (5+1+1). In 2020 the
Parent Entity received consent from Syndicate Members to extend the term of the agreement by one year, i.e. to 19 December 2025. The amount of available financing during the extension period will amount to USD 1 438 million (PLN 5 405 million). The funds acquired through this credit facility are used to finance general corporate purposes. Interest is based on LIBOR plus a bank margin, depending on the net debt/EBITDA ratio.

The credit facility agreement obliges the Group to comply with the financial covenant and non-financial covenants. Financing parameters meet the standard conditions of these types of transactions. Pursuant to contractual terms and conditions, the Parent Entity is obliged to report the level of financial covenant for the reporting periods, i.e. as at 30 June and as at 31 December. The Parent Entity continuously monitors the risk of  exceeding the levels of the financial covenant stipulated in the credit facility agreement. As at the reporting date, during the financial year and after the reporting date,

up to the publication of these Consolidated financial statements, the value of the financial covenant subject to the obligation to report as at 30 June 2020 and as at 31 December 2020, complied with the provisions of the agreement.

Note 8.6 Liabilities due to guarantees granted

Guarantees and letters of credit are an essential financial liquidity management tool of the Group.

Accounting policies

The Group issued guarantees which meet the definition of contingent liabilities pursuant to IAS 37 and recognises them

in contingent liabilities and guarantees, which meet the definition of financial guarantees under IFRS 9, and which are measured and recognised as financial instruments pursuant to this standard.

The financial guarantee agreement is an agreement obliging its Issuer to make certain payments compensating the holder of the guarantee for the loss they will incur due to a debtor’s failure to pay on the due date, pursuant to the initial

or amended terms of a debt instrument.

The liability due to the financial guarantee granted as at the end of the reporting period is recognised at the higher of two amounts: the initial value of the issued guarantee less the amount recognised in profit or loss on guarantees, or the amount of expected credit losses – set pursuant to the principles of the general model, described in accounting policies in Note 7.5.2.

Important estimates, assumptions and judgements

For the calculation of expected credit losses (ECL), the Group adopts estimates for the rating, PD (probability of default)

and LGD (loss given default) parameters. Calculation of the expected credit losses takes place in the horizon remaining

to the end of the guarantee, while the rating of a guarantee’s beneficiary is adopted as the rating of the entity used for the purposes of calculating the PD parameter.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group held liabilities due to guarantees and letters of credit granted in the total amount

of PLN 2 213 million (as at 31 December 2019, PLN 2 470 million) and due to promissory note liabilities in the amount of PLN 171 million (as at 31 December 2019, PLN 144 million).

The most significant items are liabilities of the Parent Entity aimed at securing the following obligations:

Sierra Gorda S.C.M. – securing the performance of concluded agreements in the amount of PLN 1 814 million:

·      financial guarantees in the amount PLN 1 158 million*:

·        PLN 18 million (USD 5 million) as corporate guarantees set as security on the payment of concluded lease agreements (as at 31 December 2019 in the amount of PLN 60 million, or USD 16 million), for the guarantee’s validity period of up to 5 years. The carrying amount of the recognised liability due to a financial guarantee granted amounts to PLN 0.4 million,

·        PLN 1 140 million (USD 303 million) as corporate guarantees securing repayment of short-term working capital facilities (as at 31 December 2019 in the amount of PLN 803 million, or USD 211 million), the guarantee’s validity period of up to 2 years. The carrying amount of the recognised liability due to a financial guarantee granted amounts to PLN 21.2 million,

·      other liabilities due to guarantees granted and letters of credit in the amount of PLN 656 million:

·        a letter of credit of PLN 517 million (USD 138 million) granted as security for the proper performance of a long-term contract for the off-take of electricity (as at 31 December 2019 in the amount of PLN 522 million,

or USD 138 million),

·        PLN 104 million (USD 28 million) as a corporate guarantee securing repayment of a specified part of payment

to guarantees set by Sumitomo Metal Mining Co., Ltd. and Sumitomo Corporation, securing repayment

of a corporate loan drawn by the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. (as at 31 December 2019 in the amount

of PLN 627 million, or USD 165 million),

·        PLN 35 million (USD 9 million) as a corporate guarantee securing claims arising from the obligation to restore post-mining terrain, following the conclusion of mining operations (as at 31 December 2019 in the amount

of PLN 34 million, or USD 9 million),



in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

other entities, including the Parent Entity:

·        PLN 188 million (USD 50 million)  securing the proper execution by DMC Mining Services (UK) Ltd. and DMC Mining Services Ltd. of a contract for shaft sinking under a project advanced in the United Kingdom (as at 31 December 2019 in the amount of PLN 190 million, or USD 50 million)

·        PLN 175 million to secure the proper execution by the Parent Entity of future environmental obligations related

to the obligation to restore terrain, following the conclusion of operations of the Żelazny Most tailings storage facility (as at 31 December 2019 in the amount of PLN 179 million),

·        PLN 21 million (PLN 3 million, USD 3 million and CAD 2 million) securing the obligations related to proper execution of agreements concluded (as at 31 December 2019 in the amount of PLN 23 million, or PLN 5 million, USD 3 million and CAD 2 million).

* The Company determined that, with respect to the financial guarantees granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M., it is necessary to recognise these guarantees pursuant to par. 4.2.1. point c of IFRS 9.



Based on the knowledge held, 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 moderately low,

-   other entities of the Group as low.

Part 9 – Non-current assets and related liabilities

Note 9.1 Mining and metallurgical property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Accounting policies – property, plant and equipment

The most important property, plant and equipment of the Group is property, plant and equipment related to the mining and metallurgical operations, comprised of land, buildings, water and civil engineering structures, such as: primary mine tunnels (including, in underground mines: shafts, wells, galleries, drifts, primary chambers), backfilling, drainage

and firefighting pipelines, piezometric holes and electricity, signal and optical fiber cables. Pre-stripping costs in open pit mines and machines, technical equipment, motor vehicles and other movable fixed assets, as well as right-to-use assets recognised in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases, including perpetual usufruct rights to land, are also included in mining and metallurgical property, plant and equipment.

Property, plant and equipment, excluding usufruct right-to-use assets, are recognised at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. 

In the initial cost of items of property, plant and equipment the Group includes discounted decommissioning costs of fixed assets related to underground and surface mining and other facilities which, in accordance with binding laws, will be incurred following the conclusion of activities. Principles of recognition and measurement of decommissioning costs are presented in Note 9.4.

An asset’s carrying amount includes costs of spare parts and necessary regular major overhauls, including costs of overhauls for the purpose of certification and significant periodic repairs, the performance of which determines further use of the asset.    

Costs are increased by borrowing costs (i.e. interest and exchange differences representing an adjustment to interest cost) that were incurred for the purchase or construction of a qualifying item of property, plant and equipment.

Right-to-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial lease liability and all lease payments paid

on the date the lease began and before that date, less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred

by the lessee and an estimate of costs which will be incurred by the lessee due to the disassembly or removal of a base asset or renovation of the site in which it was placed.

The perpetual usufruct right to land is measured at the amount of the liability on the perpetual usufruct right to land, which is measured using the perpetual rent method and all lease payments paid on the date the lease began or before that date (including payments for acquisition of this right on the market).

After the initial recognition, a right-to-use asset, excluding the perpetual usufruct right to land measured using

the  perpetual rent method, is measured at cost decreased by accumulated depreciation/amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, adjusted by the updated measurement of lease liabilities.

Items of property, plant and equipment (excluding land and perpetual usufruct rights to land) are depreciated

by the Group, pursuant to the model of consuming the economic benefits from the given item of property, plant

and equipment:

-  using the straight-line method, for items which are used in production at an equal level throughout the period of their usage,

-  using the units of production method, for items in respect of which the consumption of economic benefits is directly related to the quantity of ore extracted from the deposit or quantity of units produced, and this extraction or production is not spread evenly through the period of their usage. In particular it relates to buildings and structures of the mines machines and mining equipment, except for the items of property, plant and equipment used in metallurgical plants, where their usage results from the useful economic life of the given item of property, plant and equipment.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

The useful lives, and therefore the depreciation rates of fixed assets used in the production of copper, are adapted

to the plans for the closure of operations, and in the case of right-to-use assets to the earlier of these two dates – either to the useful life end date or to the lease end date, unless the ownership of an asset is transferred to the Group before the end of the lease, in which case depreciation rates are adjusted to the estimated useful life end date.

For individual groups of fixed assets, the following useful lives have been adopted, estimated based on the anticipated useful lives of mines with respect to deposit content and metallurgical plants:

Accounting policies – intangible assets

Mining and metallurgical intangible assets are mainly comprised of exploration and evaluation assets, and water rights

in Chile.

Exploration and evaluation assets

The following expenditures are classified as exploration and evaluation assets:

·        geological projects;

·        obtaining environmental decisions;

·        obtaining concessions and mining usufruct for geological exploration;

·        work related to drilling (drilling; geophysical and hydrogeological research; geological, analytical and geotechnical services; etc.);

·        the purchase of geological information;

·        the preparation of geological documentation and its approval;

·        the preparation of economic and technical assessments of resources for the purpose of making decisions regarding applying for mine operating concessions; and

·        equipment usage costs (property, plant and equipment) used in exploratory work.

Expenditures on exploration and evaluation assets are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses and are recognised as intangible assets not yet available for use.

The Group is required to test an individual entity (project) for impairment when:

·        the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources is demonstrable; and 

·        the facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets may exceed their recoverable amount.

Any potential impairment losses are recognised prior to reclassification resulting from the demonstration of the technical and economic feasibility of extracting the mineral resources.

Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments

Significant estimates and assumptions relating to impairment of mining and metallurgical property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are presented in Note 3.

The net value of mining and metallurgical property, plant and equipment which is subject to depreciation using the natural method as at 31 December 2020 amounted to PLN 1 115 million (as at 31 December 2019, PLN 1 188 million).

 Note 9.4 Provision for decommissioning costs of mines and other facilities

Accounting policies

Important estimates, assumptions and judgments

The provision for future decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities

is recognised based on the estimated expected costs of decommissioning of such facilities and of restoring the sites to their original condition  following the end of operations, which are made on the basis of ore extraction forecasts (for mining facilities), and technical-economic studies prepared either by specialist firms or by the Parent Entity.

In the case of surface mines, certain actions and costs may influence the scope of restoration work, such as costs of hauling barren rock, incurred during mine life and due to its operations, are recognised as operating costs being an integral part of the production process and are therefore excluded from costs that are a basis of calculating the provisions for mine decommissioning.

A change in the discount rate or in the estimated decommissioning cost adjusts the value of the relevant item of a fixed asset, unless it exceeds the carrying amount of the item of a fixed asset, and any surplus above this amount is recognised in other operating income.

The increase in the provision due

to the time lapse is recognised

in finance costs.

These provisions represent the estimated future decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities discounted to present value. Revaluation of this provision at the end of the reporting period is affected by the following indicators:

1) in the Parent Entity:

a)       the index of changes in prices in the construction-assembly sector published by the Central Statistical Office (GUS),

b)      the forecasted discount rate calculated based on the yield on treasury bonds with maturities nearest to the planned financial outflow.

2) in the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group:

a)      the rate of return on investments in US 10 and 20 year treasury notes

of the Federal Reserve of the United States of America, and

b)      the rate of return on investments in 5-year government bonds issued

by the governments of Canada and Chile.

The yield on treasury bonds and the inflation rate are set separately for future periods, i.e. for the first, second and third years, and jointly for periods from

the fourth year.

At the end of the reporting period, applying the current approach,

with the historically low level of profitability of 10 year bonds and an increase

in inflation, the Group received a negative effective discount rate. Due to the unusual and previously unknown situation, the Group applied a cautious approach and adopted for the measurement  of provisions a discount rate of “0” as at 31 December 2020. Due to the non-standard nature of current market conditions, the Group is monitoring  the situation and analysing the possible verification of its current approach to determining the effective discount rate.

In the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A Group, in order to estimate provisions

for the decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities located in individual countries,
the following discount rates were applied:

2020

2019

- in Poland

0.00 %

0.00 %

- in the United States

0.00%

0.00% - 0.25%

- in Canada

0.00%

0.00%

With regard to the costs of some activities carried out during the exploratory work of surface mines, which at the same time serve to restore pits, the Group made a judgment and recognised that these costs are mostly current production costs, because these activities primarily determine the current mine production and revenue generation, and their restoration is a secondary effect. Therefore, the costs of such activities are not included in the measurement of the restoration provision.

Note 9.7 Lease disclosures – The Group as a lessee

Accounting policies

As a lessee, the Group identifies leases in usufruct agreements, inter alia, land, perpetual usufruct right to land, and transmission easements, as well as technical equipment, machines, and transport vehicles.

The Group applies a uniform lease accounting model, which assumes that the lessee recognises the right-to-use assets and lease liabilities related to all lease agreements, including exemptions. The Group does not recognise lease assets and liabilities in relation to:

·        short-term leases - applies to agreements without the option to purchase an asset, concluded for a period shorter than 12 months from the commencement of the agreement, including agreements concluded for an indefinite period with a short notice period if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will not make use of termination.

·        leases in respect of which the underlying asset has a low value.

In the case of an agreement that is or includes a lease, the Group recognises each lease component under

the agreement as lease, separately from non-lease components.

The Group defines the lease period as covering the irrevocable period of the lease agreement, including periods

for which the lease can be extended if it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise that right, and the periods

for which the lease can be terminated if it is reasonably certain that the Group will not exercise that right.

The right-to-use assets and the measurement policy for these assets are presented in Note 9.1.

The Group initially measures the lease liability at the present value of lease payments due to be paid as at the date

of initial recognition, which include: fixed lease payments, variable lease payments which are dependent on an index

or rate, amounts which the lessee is expected to pay under the guaranteed residual value, the strike price call option if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will exercise the option, and penalties for terminating the lease if the given lease period was set with the assumption that the lessee will terminate the agreement. In fixed lease payments, the Group also includes payments for the exclusion of land from forestry and agricultural production, if they relate to land used under lease agreements.

The lease payments exclude variable payments made by the lessee to the lessor for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease period, which depend on external factors other than payments based on a rate or index.

After the date the lease began, the Group measures the carrying amount of lease liabilities by:

- an increase due to interest on lease liabilities,

- a decrease due to paid lease payments,

- an update due to reassessment or modification of a lease agreement.

Lease liabilities are presented in Note 8.

Lease rate - lease payments are discounted by the Group using the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee because generally speaking, the interest rate of a lease agreement is not readily determinable.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

Important estimates, assumptions and judgments

Identification of non-lease components

In the agreements for the lease of mining machinery, apart from the lease component, the Group identified non-lease components related to the provision of services other than the lease of assets. To separate the lease and non-lease components, the Group made a judgment, respectively allocating the remuneration for a given agreement to both components, based on the relative unit price of the lease component and the total unit price of the non-lease components.

Estimation of the incremental borrowing rate of the lease

For the purpose of calculating the discount rates under IFRS 16, the Group assumes that the discount rate should reflect the cost of financing that would be incurred to purchase the leased item. The Group calculates the incremental borrowing rates, for individual time ranges of lease agreements, on a quarterly basis and this rate is used to measure lease liabilities arising from lease agreements concluded or modified during a given quarter.

The materiality threshold for leases of low-value of underlying assets is set at PLN 20 000.

Note 9.8 Non-current assets held for sale and liabilities associated with them

In terms of non-current assets held for sale, the most important items are non-current assets held for sale of the Parent Entity and Cuprum Development Sp. z o.o.

Shares in the company PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o.

As at 30 September 2020, based on a letter of intent regarding the acquisition by the State Treasury of shares in the company PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o. (i.e. the 10% interest held by the Parent Entity) signed on 1 October 2020 by the Partners in PGE EJ 1 (apart from KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., these are PGE S.A., Tauron Polska Energia S.A., and Enea S.A.) and the State Treasury, the Management Board of the Parent Entity determined that, in accordance with IFRS 5, conditions were met for mandatory reclassification of the shares in the company PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o. from non-current financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income to non-current assets held for sale. Immediately prior to this reclassification, the carrying amount of the shares held in PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o. amounted to PLN 15 million and in this amount they were recognised in non-current assets held for sale. Accrued cost due to losses from the fair value measurement which was recognised directly in other comprehensive income amounted to PLN 14 million. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the capital of PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o.. was increased by PLN 38 million and as a result of the measurement at fair value as at 31 December 2020, the value of the shares was reduced by PLN 8 million. As at 31 December 2020, the value of non-current assets held for sale amounted to PLN 45 million while the accrued losses on measurement related to non-current assets held for sale amounted to PLN 21 million.

Despite the failure to conclude the transaction in 2020, pursuant to the signed letter of intent, the parties are continuing efforts to finalise it in the subsequent 12 months, immediately after updating the transaction documentation and securing financing by the buyer. The sale of the PGE EJ 1 Sp. z o.o. shares will be possible provided that the Management Board of KGHM PM S.A. obtains the approval of the Supervisory Board and the corresponding approvals are issued by the bodies of all of the Partners. Obtainment of these approvals is highly probable.

Land of the subsidiary Cuprum Development Sp. z o.o.

On 30 September 2020 an analysis was made of the process led by Cuprum Development Sp. z o.o. of selling land located in the centre of Wrocław, based on which it was determined that criteria set forth in IFRS 5 were met which require

a change in the presentation of the land, from non-current assets to non-current assets held for sale. The carrying amount of the land prior to its reclassification amounted to PLN 16 million and, in that amount, was recognised in non-current assets held for sale. Liabilities directly associated with these assets amounted to PLN 4 million.

As at 31 December 2020 the aforementioned assumptions did not change.

Part 10 – Working capital

Note 10.1 Inventories

Accounting policies

Important estimates, assumptions and judgments

The Group measures inventories at cost, not higher than the sales price less costs of completing production

and costs to sell.

Any differences in the value of finished goods constitutes a write-down and is recognised in the costs of sold products.

The costs of inventories of finished goods, half-finished goods and work in progress include costs directly related to the production and variable and fixed indirect costs

of production, assigned respectively. Fixed indirect costs of production are allocated on the basis of the normal level of production capacity utilisation.

Inventory disposals are measured at weighted average cost.

In the consolidated financial statements the volume

of those inventories of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group which arise from the leaching process, is determined based on the estimated recovery of metal from ore. The nature of the process of leaching copper from ore limits the precision of monitoring the level of inventories arising during this process. In subsequent reporting periods, adjustments are made to the estimated recovery of copper from the leaching of ore in a given reporting period to the level of production achieved in the subsequent period.

As at 31 December 2020 the provisionally-set value

of inventories amounted to PLN 77 million (as at 31 December 2019, PLN 74 million).

The value of inventories with a maturity of over 12 months, mainly includes stand-by inventories of materials and spare parts to maintain production continuity and packages of spare parts under contractual obligations in the Parent Entity

and
in the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group and the finished rhenium product. Due to the collapse of the rhenium market after 2011, the demand for this product from the largest recipients dropped drastically and the period in which the inventory of rhenium in the Parent Entity will be sold was extended, while maintaining its functional properties. According to the plans to sell rhenium, the inventory should gradually decrease in the coming years

Note 10.2 Trade receivables

Accounting policies

Trade receivables are initially recognised at the transaction price (unless the receivables contains a significant financial component subject to separation and therefore the receivables are initially recognised at fair value). After initial recognition, trade receivables are measured as follows:

-    Receivables not transferred to non-recourse factoring and not based on the M+ pricing formula: at amortised cost while taking into account the loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECL). Trade receivables

with maturity dates of less than 12 months are not discounted.

-    Receivables transferred to non-recourse factoring: at fair value through profit or loss, where the fair value

is determined in the amount of their carrying amount less the factor’s compensation, which include, among others, interest costs and risk assumption costs. Because of the short duration between the transferral

of receivables to the factor and its payment and due to the low credit risk of the counterparty (factor), the fair value of these receivables does not include the impact of these factors. Receivables transferred

to non-recourse factoring are obligatorily designated to the category of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, because they were classified to a business model in which cash flows are realised solely by selling financial assets.

-    Receivables based on the M+ pricing formula: at fair value through profit or loss, where fair value is set

as the nominal value (i.e. at the price in the invoice), adjusted by the impact of market and credit risks. Adjustment due to the market risk is calculated as the difference between the current market price for a given pricing period in the future (the period in which there will be a final determination of the settlement price)

and the receivables’ price recognised in the accounting books (multiplied by the sales volume). Adjustment due to the credit risk is calculated analogously to the calculation of expected credit losses for trade receivables measured at amortised cost. Receivables based on the M+ pricing formula are obligatorily designated

to the category of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, because these receivables

do not pass the SPPI contractual cash flow test (solely payments of principal and interest) because

of the element of variable price after the date of initial recognition of the receivables.

Receivables measured at fair value may be measured based on the applied M+ pricing formula as well as due

to transferral to factoring. The measurements are carried out independently of each other. The result of both measurements is recognised in the profit or loss in other operating income/(costs).

The Group is exposed to the credit risk and currency risk related to trade receivables. Credit risk management

and assessment of the credit quality of receivables is presented in Note 7.5.2.3. Information on currency risk is presented in Note 7.5.1.3.

Note 10.3 Trade and similar payables

Accounting policies

Trade  and similar payables are initially recognised at fair value less transaction cost and are measured at amortised cost at the end of the reporting period.

Accrued interest due to repayment of payables at a later date is recognised in profit or loss, in the item “finance income/(costs)”.

Important estimates, assumptions and judgments

Trade and similar payables presented in the Statement of financial position also contain trade payables transferred

to reverse factoring, which are in the category of “similar”. Moreover, the item “similar liabilities” also includes intra-group trade payables transferred by the debtor to the factor, for which the debtor received payment from the factor. 

At the moment of transfer of the liabilities to reverse factoring, the Parent Entity recognises payables towards

the factor, who due to the subrogation of receivables, from the legal point of view, assumes the rights and obligations common for trade payables.

Reverse factoring is not directly regulated by IFRS, and as a result of the ambiguous nature of the transaction, it was necessary for the Parent Entity to make an important judgment on the presentation of balances of liabilities transferred to factoring in the Statement of financial position and the presentation of transactions in the Statement of cash flows.

In the Parent Entity’s opinion, in presenting the balance of trade payables transferred to reverse factoring as „Trade

and similar payables” (assigned to the category of “similar”) together with other trade payables and not as debt liabilities, the following aspects had a crucial impact:

-   from the legal point of view, at the moment of subrogation of liability by the reverse factoring there is a transfer

of rights and obligations arising from the liabilities, rather than their expiry and the establishment of new rights

and obligations in respect of the factor;

-   there is no establishment of new guarantees related to the reverse factoring, nor are there any changes

in commercial terms related to any breach of the contract terms and annulment of a contract;

-   the goal of the program is not only to improve the Parent Entity’s liquidity, but also to provide support to suppliers engaged in obtaining favourable financing in order to build long term business relationships;

-   the established payment deadlines, as well as payment models (including as regards interest and discounting)

do not change in respect of trade payables towards a given supplier which are not subject to reverse factoring.

In light of the above, as well as taking into account the established interest rates and discounts and extended repayment periods, cash flows related to the liabilities transferred to reverse factoring do not change more than 10%;

-   costs related to reverse factoring are incurred both by the Parent Entity and its suppliers. The Parent Entity incurs interest cost arising from the payment of liabilities over an extended period, while the supplier incurs a discounted cost due to early (that is, before the end of the base term, which is usually 60 days) payment received from

the factor;

-   the Parent Entity, together with individual suppliers, on the basis of signed contracts, will determine which invoices will be transferred to reverse factoring, and what the deadline for early payment to the supplier through the factor will be.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

Moreover, although the Parent Entity identified characteristics which indicate the nature of reverse factoring

as liabilities due to financing (liability due to credit granted by the factor), they were judged by the Parent Entity

to be insufficient for the purpose of recognising that, at the moment of transfer of trade payables to reverse factoring, there is a complete change in the nature of the relationship from that of a trade to a debt one, which would necessitate presentation in the Statement of financial position as debt financial liabilities and presentation in the Statement of cash flows, in financial activities:

-   the factor is a bank, and at the moment of subrogation by the factor there is a change in the party being the debtor,

-   in order to obtain more favourable terms, the factoring agreement was negotiated with the factor by the Parent Entity and not directly by the suppliers,

-   the actual deadline for the payment of trade payables subject to reverse factoring is longer (and amounts to up

to 180 days) than the deadline for the payment of other trade payables, which are not transferred to factoring (which usually amounts to 60 days),

-   the main costs of reverse factoring are incurred by the Parent Entity, and suppliers are charged only if they receive payment on the date before the date stipulated in the trade contract, which usually amounts to 60 days from the day of receiving the invoice (discount for the payment before 60 days or other, stipulated in the trade contract).

In December 2020, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (Committee) published its opinion on the presentation of reverse factoring transactions in the statement of financial position and statement of cash flows. The above-mentioned opinion stated that the current standards provide a sufficient basis for establishing the correct presentation of reverse factoring transactions in the financial statements, as well as for establishing the required additional disclosures. The Parent Entity analysed the summary of the key requirements of standards related

to analysing the issue stated in the Committee’s position, and in the Parent Entity’s opinion the aspects indicated by the Committee do not have an impact on the conclusions of the assessment on this issue conducted by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in 2019. The Committee, recommending the appropriate presentation of liabilities subject to reverse factoring, indicated the same issues that were analysed and disclosed by the Parent Entity as part of important judgments in the financial statements for 2019 and above, in the current  financial statements.

In particular, in the context of the areas of analysis indicated by the Committee, the Parent Entity confirms that:

- the transfer of liabilities to reverse factoring did not require the establishment of any additional collateral for

the bank-factor, nor there are any additional guarantees related to reverse factoring established. Furthermore, there is no change in the trade terms and conditions related to non-compliance with the terms of the contract

and the cancellation of the contract,

- taking the above into consideration, and taking into account the agreed interest and discount rates, and the extended repayment date, the cash flows related to the liability transferred to reverse factoring will not change by more than 10%; thus, the criteria of disclosing liabilities, i.e. the 10% test and the other criteria for disclosing of liabilities under IFRS 9 have not been met,

- the agreed payment dates as well as the payment pattern (including interest and discount rates) do not change

in relation to trade payables towards a given supplier, which are not covered by reverse factoring,

- liabilities transferred to reverse factoring are part of the working capital used by the unit in the unit’s regular operating cycle.

The Parent Entity indicates that the actual deadline for the payment of trade payables subject to reverse factoring

is longer (up to 180 days) than the deadline for the payment of other trade payables, which are not transferred

to factoring, which usually amounts to 60 days, which may indicate a change in the nature of these liabilities from trade to debt. However, this characteristic has been judged by the Parent Entity to be insufficient to conclude that when the trade liability was transferred to reverse factoring, the nature of the liability changed completely. Apart from the above criteria, no other terms of liabilities covered by reverse factoring differ from the terms of other trade payables.

Therefore, the Parent Entity's assessment of the nature of trade payables transferred to reverse factoring and their presentation, made in the light of the Committee's position, remains unchanged, which means that the trade payables transferred to reverse factoring are presented by the Parent Entity in the statement of financial position under "Trade and similar payables ", including those under the " similar" category.

The Parent Entity implemented reverse factoring in the period ended on 31 December 2019 in order to make it possible for suppliers to receive repayment of receivables faster, as part of the standard procurement process executed

by the Parent Entity, alongside an extension of payment dates of payables by the Parent Entity to the factor. In 2020,

the Parent Entity concluded the second agreement for the provision of reverse factoring services. The factors’ total participation limit was set at PLN 1 500 million. Liabilities in the total amount of PLN 2 495 million were transferred

to the factors. As at 31 December 2020 the value of trade payables transferred to reverse factoring amounted

to PLN 1 264 million (as at 31 December 2019, amounted to PLN 596 million). In the current financial year, there were payments towards the factors in amount of PLN 1 842 million (in the financial year ended 31 December 2019 there were no payments towards the factor).

Interest costs accrued and paid towards the factor amounted to PLN 12 million in 2020 (in 2019 they amounted

to PLN 1 million) and were recognised in the item “finance costs”.

Repayment dates of receivables due to reverse factoring do not exceed 12 months, and consequently all payables transferred to reverse factoring are presented as short-term.

The item trade payables contains payables due to the purchase and construction of fixed and intangible assets which,

as at 31 December 2020, amounted to PLN 162 million in the non-current part and PLN 464 million in the current part

(as at 31 December 2019, respectively PLN 164 million and PLN 648 million).

The Group is exposed to currency risk arising from trade payables and to liquidity risk. Information on currency risk

is presented in Note 7.5.1.3 and on liquidity risk in Note 8.3.1.

The fair value of trade payables approximates their carrying amount.

Note 10.4 Changes in working capital

Accounting policies

Cash flows arising from interest on reverse factoring transactions are presented in cash flows from financing activities. The actually repaid principal amounts of receivables transferred to reverse factoring to a factor are presented in cash flows from operating activities, and partially also from investment activities. Moreover, the Parent Entity, as regards changes in working capital in the Statement of cash flows, presented a separate line “Change in trade payables transferred to factoring” for the purposes of clear and transparent presentation.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

Important estimates, assumptions and judgments

The Parent Entity implemented reverse factoring in the period ended on 31 December 2019 (more information may be found in Note 10.3).

Since market practice with respect to the presentation of reverse factoring transactions in the Statement of cash flows

is not uniform, the Management Board had to apply its own judgment in this regard.
In the case of these transactions, the Parent Entity had to make an assessment as to whether expenses related to payments towards the factor should be classified to cash flows from operating activities or to cash flows from financing activities in the statement of cash flows. Pursuant to IAS 7.11, an entity should present cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in a manner which is most appropriate to its business, because it provides information that allows users of financial statements to assess the impact of those activities on the financial position of the entity and the amount of its cash and cash equivalents.

Due to the above, in the Parent Entity’s view:

-     presentation of the repayment of the principal amounts of receivables in the reverse factoring in cash flows from operating activities is compliant with the objective of individual transaction elements and consistent with

the presentation of these transactions in the Statement of financial position. When legal subrogation of
 receivables is made by the factor, from a legal standpoint he assumes the rights and responsibilities characteristic for trade  receivables. Only cash flows from the repayment of principal amounts of receivables from liabilities due to the purchase and construction of fixed assets and intangible assets are presented under investing activities (more information may be found in Note 10.3).

-     however, the financial aspect related to the factoring transaction is indicated in the presentation of interest in financing activities. This is consistent with recognising this interest in financing costs in the Statement of profit or loss pursuant to the accounting policy adopted by the Parent Entity for the presentation of interest cost of reverse factoring in the financial activities.

In December 2020, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (Committee) published its opinion

on the presentation of reverse factoring transactions in the statement of financial position and in the statement of cash flows. In its position, the Committee emphasized that the main problem requiring a decision, in terms of presenting reverse factoring transactions in the statement of cash flow under IAS 7, is to determine whether cash flows should be presented as a part of operating or finance activities. The Committee considers that the decision regarding the classification of cash flows resulting from reverse factoring transactions may result from the previously determined classification of the relevant liabilities in the statement of financial position. If an entity concludes that a liability transfer to reverse factoring is a “Trade and similar payables”, and in this way declares it as part of the working capital which

is used in the core business of an entity that generates the revenues, the entity shall present the outflow from the payment for those liabilities as arising on operating activities in the Statement of cash flows. Otherwise, these cash flows should be recognised in finance activities.

Consistently with the Parent Entity's assessment of the nature of trade payables transferred to reverse factoring

and the method of their presentation in the Statement of financial position as "Trade and similar payables" (information presented in note 10.3), the Company's judgment as to the method of presentation adopted for these transactions in the Statement of cash flows for 2019 remains unchanged and is compliant with the approach described above.

Part 11 – Employee benefits

Note 11.1 Employee benefits liabilities

Accounting policies

The Group is obliged to pay specified benefits following the period of employment (retirement benefits due to one-off retirement-disability rights, post-mortem benefits and the coal equivalent) and other long-term benefits (jubilee bonuses), in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement.

The amount of the liabilities due to both of these benefits is estimated at the end of the reporting period

by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of liabilities from these benefits is determined by discounting estimated future cash outflow using the interest rates on treasury bonds expressed in the currency of the future benefits payments, with maturities similar to the date of settlement for liabilities.

Actuarial gains and losses from the measurement of specified benefits following the period of employment are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arose. Actuarial gains/losses from

the measurement of other benefits (benefits due to jubilee bonuses) are recognised in profit or loss.

Significant estimates and assumptions

The carrying amount of the liability due to future employee benefits is equal to the present value of the liabilities due

to defined benefits. The amount of the liability depends on many factors, which are used as assumptions

in the actuarial method. Any changes to the assumptions may impact the carrying amount of the liability. Interest rates are one of the basic parameters for measuring the liability. At the end of the reporting period, based on the opinion

of an independent actuary, an appropriate discount rate for the Group’s companies is used for setting the present value of estimated future cash outflow due to these benefits. In setting the discount rate for the reporting period, the actuary extrapolates current interest rates of government bonds along the profitability curve expressed in the currency

of the future benefits payments, to obtain a discount rate enabling the discounting of payments with maturities which are longer than the maturities of the bonds.

Other macroeconomic assumptions used to measure liabilities due to future employee benefits, such as the inflation rate or the minimum salary, are based on current market conditions. The assumptions used for measurement as at 31 December 2020 are presented in Note 11.2.

The sensitivity of future employee benefits liabilities to changes in the assumptions was set based on the amounts

of the Parent Entity’s liabilities (the Parent Entity’s liabilities represent 90% of the Group’s liabilities in the current year

as well as in the previous year). In the remaining Group companies, due to the immaterial amounts of liabilities in this regard, the impact of changes of the basic parameters adopted for the calculation of provisions on future employee benefits liabilities in the consolidated financial statements would be immaterial.

The change in actuarial gains/losses was caused by a change in the assumptions in respect of the decrease in the discount rate and the decrease in the rate of increase of the lowest salary.

For purposes of reassessment of the liabilities at the end of the current period, the parameters assumed were based

on available forecasts of inflation, analysis of coal prices rates and of the lowest salary rates, and also based on the anticipated profitability of long-term treasury bonds.

the Polish Government and entities controlled or jointly controlled by the Polish Government, unusual due to their nature or amount:

·        due to an agreement on setting mining usufruct for the extraction of mineral resources – fixed fees and setting  mining usufructs for exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources – total payables amounted to PLN 172 million (as at 31 December 2019: PLN 174 million), setting mining usufruct - variable fee (recognised in costs) -  payables in the amount of PLN 30 million (as at 31 December 2019: PLN 29 million),

Note 12.12 Information on the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s and the Group’s operations

The greatest impact on the operations and results of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group is from the Parent Entity and, to a lesser extent, the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group.

Key risk categories

The most significant negative risk factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic and impacting the Company’s and the Group’s activities are:

·        possible infections by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and increased absenteeism amongst employees of the core production line,

·        potential interruptions in the materials and services supply chain and to logistical restrictions, especially

as regards international transport,

·        possible closure of certain sales markets, a drop in demand and optimisation of inventories of raw materials and finished products amongst customers,

·        exceptional legal changes,

·        a fall in copper and silver prices on the metals markets,

·        a fall in molybdenum prices,

·        a fall in the USD/PLN exchange rate,

·        shortages of purchased copper-bearing materials, and

·        the general uncertainty and volatility on financial markets and the risk of recession on global markets.

Evaluation of the key categories of risk which are impacted by the coronavirus pandemic underwent detailed analysis

by the on-going monitoring of selected information in the areas of production, sales, supply chains, personnel management and finance, in order to support the process of reviewing the current financial and operating situation of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. As a result, only some of the aforementioned risk factors had a negative impact on the Group’s operations, and at that only in the first half of the year, as there was a significant improvement in subsequent months with the result being that in the end there were no substantial deviations from the achievement of the budget targets for 2020 in any of the operating segments of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, with the exception of companies operating in the spa and hotel sector.

Impact on the metals market

From the Group’s point of view, an important impact of the coronavirus pandemic was its effect on market risk related

to volatility in metals and share prices in 2020.
The Company’s share price at the end of 2020 was 91% higher compared to the price at the end of 2019 and 101% higher compared to the price at the end of the first half of 2020, and at the close of trading on 30 December 2020 amounted to PLN 183.00. During these same periods the WIG and WIG20 indices fell respectively by 1% and 8% (compared to the end of 2019) and rose by 15% and 13% (compared to the end of the first half of 2020). As a result of these changes in the share price, the Company’s capitalisation increased from PLN 19.20 billion

at the end of 2019 to PLN 36.60 billion at the end of 2020, meaning a level 77% higher than the net value of assets.

Starting from the second quarter of 2020 there was an improvement in the metals market, reflected in an increase

in the price of copper by 26%, from 4 797 USD/t at the end of the first quarter of 2020 to 6 038 USD/t at the end of the second quarter of 2020, along with an increase by 28% in the second half of 2020 to 7 742 USD/t at the end of 2020.

Impact on the spa activities of the Group

The greatest impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was on the Group’s secondary activities involving the hotel and spa services of the companies Uzdrowiska Kłodzkie S.A. - Grupa PGU, Uzdrowisko Połczyn Grupa PGU S.A., Uzdrowisko Cieplice

Sp. z o.o. - Grupa PGU, Uzdrowisko Świeradów - Czerniawa Sp. z o.o. – Grupa PGU, INTERFERIE S.A. and Interferie Medical SPA Sp. z o.o. In 2020 there occurred substantial interruptions to the daily operations of these companies, caused by the forced lockdown and the restrictions imposed on their activities by Decrees of the Minister of Health. As a result, decisions were made to temporarily close certain facilities. These companies were required to temporarily close twice: in the spring (March – May / June) and in the winter (from November). The activities of these spa and hotel companies were also affected by the introduction of other regulations, such as those affecting the ability of employees to work, or adding selected facilities of the spa companies to the list of facilities designated to serve as quarantine facilities.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

Restrictions related to COVID-19 caused lower revenues in 2020 in spa companies of approx. 37%, and in hotel companies of 45%, compared to revenues for 2019, and in comparison to planned revenues respectively at the level of 41% and 43%. This represented indications for the performance of impairment testing on the non-current assets of these companies

and the recognition of impairment losses on these assets. The detailed results of the tests are presented in Part 3 of these consolidated financial statements.

Moreover, it should be noted that the recorded decrease in revenues, and therefore the decrease in operating profit, resulted in a breaching by the spa companies of the commitment (arising from signed bank loan agreements) to maintain a DSCR ratio (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) at the level of not less than 1.2 as at the end of 2020. The spa companies obtained statements from the creditors that, because of the situation, they will temporarily not impose the sanctions stipulated in the bank loan agreements. Due to the extension of the restrictions and the ban on conducting operations

for 2021, it is planned that these declarations will also be extended for subsequent periods.

In the second quarter of 2021 it is expected that there will be a gradual return to the conduct of activities, the providing

of services and the generation of revenues as was the case prior to the crisis. Despite the ongoing state of pandemic,

the spa and hotel facilities are fully prepared to provide services and welcome customers and spa guests under

a comprehensive sanitary regime. Additionally, COVID-19 vaccination points have been set up on the grounds of selected spa facilities.

The spa and hotel companies of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. have also joined the Polski Bon Turystyczny (Polish Tourist Voucher) program and have submitted applications to the Polski Fundusz Rozwoju (Polish Development Fund, PDF)

for financing under the Anti–Crisis Shield, and as the result of which:

·        some of the companies have received financing from the PDF’s 1.0 program for large enterprises,

·        some of the companies have received financing from the PDF’s 2.0 program for micro, small and medium enterprises.

The financing received from the aforementioned programs amounted to PLN 19 million in 2020.

Impact on the activities of the Parent Entity and other companies of the Group

With regard to other domestic companies of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, the pandemic situation in 2020 did not have a significant impact on the operating results generated by these entities.

The pandemic situation caused by COVID-19 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s and the Group’s operations, and at the date of publication of this report the Management Board of the Parent Entity estimates the risk

of loss of going concern caused by COVID-19 as low. Individual, immaterial interruptions to the continuity of the supply chain for materials and services have been observed, caused by logistical restrictions in international markets.

The situation on the market for copper scrap in the second half of 2020 compared to the first half of 2020 was significantly better, and consequently the volume of deliveries satisfied the production needs of the Parent Entity. Regular contact with suppliers enables prompt reaction to delays by utilisation of the strategy of supplier diversification applied in the Group as well as the use of alternative solutions.

Preventive actions in the Group

In KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and as well as in all international mines of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and Sierra Gorda S.C.M., thanks to the implementation of a variety of preventative measures, such as enforcing a sanitary regime and monitoring and testing the health of employees, there were no production stoppages, which would have been directly attributable to the pandemic. As a result, the Group’s copper production in 2020 was in line with the target set

at the start of the year.

Moreover, for the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, a plan was prepared to maintain operational continuity in the case of production restrictions or stoppages, or a temporary shift to maintenance of operations. The Parent Entity also has complete documentation as required by the „Act on geology and mining” as well as executive decrees in this regard, respecting in particular maintaining mining operations.

In terms of sales the Parent Entity has a long term, stable base of customers with whom it is in constant contact. Most customers at the moment remain free of any highly negative impact of the pandemic on their operations, thanks to which sales liabilities towards the Parent Entity are regulated on time.

The Group is fully capable of meeting its financial obligations. The financial resources held by the Group and available borrowings guarantee the Group’s continued financial liquidity. Financing structure of the Group on the level of the Parent Entity based on the long-term and diversified sources of financing provided the Parent Entity and the Group with long-term financial stability through extending the weighted average maturity of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.'s debt.

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

Due to the centralisation of the process of obtaining external financing for the needs of the entire Group, in order

to transfer liquidity within the Group, a debt instrument in the form of owners loans is used to support the investment process, and the Group uses local and international cash pooling to service its daily operations.

At present the Parent Entity is not aware of any significant risk of a breach in the financial covenants contained in loan agreements related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Group continues to advance its investment projects on time and is not aware of any increase in risk related to their continuation as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

During the reported period there were likewise no interruptions in the continuity of the Group’s operations caused

by infections of this virus amongst the employees. There continues to be a lack of any substantial heightened level

of absenteeism amongst employees of the Parent Entity’s core business or domestic and international production assets related to the pandemic. Solutions aimed at ensuring employee safety are constantly being assessed along with ongoing evaluation of already-implemented solutions in the Group, while additional solutions are continuously being implemented to reduce the risk of spread of the virus amongst employees.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its next wave in the first quarter of 2021, there still remains uncertainty as to the further development of the pandemic situation both domestically and abroad. An important factor for the domestic and global economies will be the program of vaccinations against COVID-19 using vaccines developed by several companies, and which are gradually being distributed for use in various countries. The availability of these vaccines, their effectiveness in relation to individual viral strains and the rate of vaccinations will have an impact among others on the possibility of lifting the restrictions imposed in various countries and sectors, reducing uncertainty as regards future periods and increasing activity amongst producers as well as consumers. Although the aforementioned factors may have an impact on the functioning of the Company and the Group in subsequent quarters, the Parent Entity continues to constantly monitor the global economic situation, in order to assess its potential negative impact on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group and to take actions to mitigate this impact.

Note 12.13 Subsequent events

Signing of financing agreements

On 13 January 2021, the Parent Entity signed a credit agreement in the form of overdraft facility for the amount of USD 50 million with ING Bank Śląski S.A. in Katowice. Interest on the credit is based on LIBOR plus a margin. The credit is available for 2 years, with the option to extend it by one more year.

On 20 January 2021, the Parent Entity signed a  credit agreement in the form of overdraft facility with CaixaBank S.A. Polish Branch in Warsaw for the amount of USD 30 million. Interest on the credit is based on LIBOR plus a margin. The credit is available for 2 years, with the option to extend it by one more year.

Main assumptions of the Budget for 2021

On 28 January 2021, the Management Board of the Parent Entity announced that the Supervisory Board of the Company approved KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.’s Budget and the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group’s Budget for 2021.

The main budgetary assumptions are presented in Note 6.5 of the Management Board's Report on the activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in 2020.

Change of the business profile of Future 2 Sp. z o.o. (currently KGHM Centrum Analityki sp.z o.o.)

In 2020, decisions to change the business profile of Future 2 Sp. z o.o., which has not conducted any operating activities so far were made. The company's role is to act as a technology company supporting the area of data analysis in the Group, including the construction of BigData. In February 2021, a change in the subject of the company's business profile and name of the company to "KGHM Centrum Analityki sp. z o.o." was registered by the Court.

Termination of a guarantee agreement

On 1 March 2021 a guarantee agreement securing the proper execution by DMC Mining Services (UK) Ltd. and DMC Mining Services Ltd. (companies of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group) of a contract for shaft sinking under a project advanced in the United Kingdom as at 31 December 2020 in the amount of PLN 188 million (USD 50 million) was terminated.

Qualification proceedings for members of the Company’s Management Board

On 6 July 2021, the current 10th term of the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. expires. Therefore, on 5 March 2021 the Supervisory Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. adopted a resolution on initiating qualification proceedings for Members of the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. for the new, 11th term. The announcement of qualification proceedings on Members of the 11th term Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. was published in the Public Information Bulletin of the Ministry of State Assets and on the corporate website www.kghm.com



in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

                 

Information on the Member of the Company’s Management Board not taking part in the on-going qualification proceedings

On 22 March 2021, the Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. announced that the Member of the Management Board of the Company, Katarzyna Kreczmańska-Gigol – Vice President of the Management Board (Finance), resigned from taking part in the on-going qualification proceedings for the position of the Member of the 11th term Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. 

Third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic

Due to the continuing rate of COVID-19 infections in the first quarter of 2021 and the implementation of enhanced security measures throughout Poland from 20 March 2021, which will be in force until 9 April 2021, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is continuously monitoring the situation in order to assess its potential negative impact on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group’s operations and eventually take additional actions mitigating this impact. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., thanks to the implementation of a wide scope of preventative actions in the areas of production, sales, supply chain, personnel management and finances, significantly mitigates the negative impact of the pandemic on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group’s activities. The decision to institute restrictions could, just as in the previous periods, have an impact mainly on the hotel and spa services provided by subsidiaries of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. by subjecting them to the temporary ban on conducting activities. The Parent Entity is continuously monitoring and analysing the impact of the restrictions related to COVID-19 on the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in subsequent quarters and at the moment, the assessment of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the future results of the mining activities has not changed as compared to the assessment presented in Note 12.12.
