Our audit approach

Overview

• The overall materiality threshold adopted for the purposes of our audit was set at PLN 293 million, which represents 4.5% of the arithmetic average of consolidated pre-tax profit from the last three financial years, adjusted for the effect of the tax on the extraction of certain minerals.

• We have audited the Parent Company, the KGHM International LTD. Group and 10 subsidiaries based in Poland.

• The scope of our audit covered 98% of the Group’s revenue and 98% of the sum of total assets of all the consolidated Group companies, before consolidation eliminations.

• Recognition of revenues from contracts with customers;

• Valuation of financial assets from loans granted to the Sierra Gorda SCM joint venture;

• Assessment of the recoverability of non- current assets of KGHM International LTD. and domestic subsidiaries and investments in the joint venture Sierra Gorda SCM;

• Fair value measurement of derivatives and hedge accounting.

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we considered where the Parent Company’s Management Board made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias of the Management Board that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operated.

Key audit matters

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error.

They are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole, as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, if any, both individually and in aggregate on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Overall Group materiality

PLN 293 million

How we determined it

4.5% of the arithmetic average of consolidated pre-tax profit from the last three financial years, adjusted for the amount of tax on the extraction of certain minerals.

Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied

We have adopted consolidated pre-tax profit as the basis for determining materiality, because in our opinion this measure is commonly used to assess the Group's operations by users of financial statements and is a generally accepted benchmark. We adopted the arithmetic average of the last three years due to the volatility of the financial result. We have adjusted the impact of the extraction tax on certain minerals due to the fact that this fee is not dependent on the results achieved by the Group. We assumed significance at the level of 4.5% because based on our professional judgment it is within the acceptable quantitative thresholds of materiality.

We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above PLN 25 million, as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. They include the most significant identified risks of material misstatements, including the identified risks of material misstatement resulting from fraud. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Recognition of revenues from contracts with customers

In 2021, the Group recognized revenues from contracts with customers in the amount of PLN 29,803 million, which were described in part 2 of the consolidated financial statements.

The Group generates revenues mainly from sales of copper (71.7%), silver (13.4%) and gold (2.6%). Revenues are recognized when the Group meets the obligation to perform the service in the form of transferred good or services with simultaneous acquisition of control over this asset by the buyer. Revenue is recognized at an amount equal to the transaction price representing the consideration for the goods and services provided, including the pricing formulas used.

Bearing in mind the importance of revenues item in the consolidated financial statements of the Group, as well as the susceptibility of the item to the risk of misstatement, we recognized that this s a key matter for our audit.

Our testing procedures included in particular:

• determining whether, in relation to the previous audited year, there were changes to the internal control system or the principles adopted by the Group in terms of recognizing revenue from contracts with customers and identifying the moment of passing control over the good or service provided, and understanding of any changes in the above-mentioned scope;

• analysis of the conditions contained in significant sales contracts;

• conducting, on a selected sample, efficiency tests of selected internal controls, important for determining the correct moment of revenue recognition and the correct value of revenues from contracts with customers;

• analysis of trends in recognized revenues from contracts with customers and explanation of unusual events and one-off transactions;

• conducting tests of details on a selected sample, the selection of which used quantitative and qualitative criteria, including agreeing price rates and quantities used on issued sales invoices to contracts with customers, delivery documents and payment documents;

• confirmation of selected sales transactions directly with the Group's customers;

• verification, based on a selected sample, of revenue recognition in the proper reporting period, taking into account the terms and conditions of contracts concluded with the Group's customers;

• assessment of the correctness and completeness of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements regarding revenues from contracts with customers.

Valuation of financial assets due to loans granted to the Sierra Gorda SCM Joint Venture

As at 31 December 2021, the Group reported the balance of loans granted to the Sierra Gorda SCM joint venture in the amount of PLN 8,314 million, which represents 17.3% of the total assets of the Group.

Receivables from loans granted to Sierra Gorda SCM disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are measured at amortized cost, including an allowance for expected credit losses. At the time of initial recognition, according to IFRS 9, the loans were classified as POCI loans (purchased or originated credit-impaired), i.e. affected by impairment due to credit risk.

In the financial year, a gain on reversal of impairment of these loans was recognized in the amount of PLN 2,380 million.

Disclosures regarding the valuation of loan receivables from Sierra Gorda SCM, including assessments of their recoverability, are presented in section 6.2 and note 7.5.2.4 of the consolidated financial statements.

Determining the expected credit losses in relation to financial assets from loans is associated with the necessity of applying a number of significant assumptions and making judgments, in particular regarding the Parent Company's strategy for investments in a joint venture, macroeconomic and market assumptions as well as predictions regarding legal conditions,

Our testing procedures included in particular:

• understanding and assessing the correctness of the applied principles of measuring loan receivables in accordance with the relevant financial reporting standards;

• verifying the mathematical accuracy and methodological consistency (using internal valuation experts) of the valuation model of the impairment loss on loans granted, prepared by The Management Board of the Parent Company with the use of external experts;

• critical assessment of the assumptions made by the Management Board of the Parent Company and the estimates made to determine the expected credit losses, including:

– the projection period of future cash flows generated by the mine and the level of revenues, operating margin and future investment expenditures assumed in it;

– planned recovery scenarios adopted to estimate the level of future cash flows from loan receivables and the probability weights assigned to them.

• comparison of the valuation of receivables with the identifiable terms of the sale transaction of 45% of the investment in the joint venture made between the other venturer and an unrelated investor, to determine whether the Group's measurement of its own involvement in the joint venture (i.e. loan receivables and capital investment) does not differ materially from the value that could be determined by reference to the transaction price in this sale transaction, to the extent that it was possible to establish this price on the basis of publicly available information; Obtaining explanations from the Management Board as to the reasons for the differences;

financial plans and cash flow projections.

Considering the inherent risk of uncertainty associated with significant estimates made by the Management Board, as well as the significance of this item in the consolidated financial statements, we have determined that this is a key issue for our audit.

• assessment of the sensitivity analysis carried out by the Management Board of the adopted assumptions for the valuation result and assessment of the correctness and completeness of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements in relation to valuation of financial assets from loans granted and assessment of their recoverability.

Assessment of the recoverability of non-current assets of KGHM International LTD. and domestic subsidiaries and involvement in the joint venture Sierra Gorda SCM

As at 31 December 2021, in the consolidated financial statements, the Group presents tangible and intangible assets in the total amount of PLN 26,723 million, which represents 55.6% of the total assets disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position.

During 2021, the Group identified impairment indicators for the following subsidiaries:

● WPEC w Legnicy S.A;

● Energetyka Sp. z o. o.;

● Interferie S.A.;

● KGHM International Ltd. (Robinson mine,

Sudbury Basin,

Victoria project).

As a result of impairment tests, the Group:

• recognized an impairment loss on the non-current assets of WPEC w Legnicy S.A. in the amount of PLN 50 million;

• recognized an impairment loss on the non-current assets of Energetyka Sp. z o. o. in the amount of PLN 79 million;

Our testing procedures included in particular:

• understanding and assessing the process of identifying evidence for impairment of assets or reducing an impairment loss previously recog nized;

• understanding and assessing the correctness of the methods used for testing for impairment in accordance with the relevant financial reporting standards;

• understanding and assessing the principles for determining cash-generating units;

• a critical assessment of the assumptions and judgments adopted by the Management Board in determining the recoverable amount of individual cash-generating unit subject to impairment tests, including:

– the projection period of future cash flows based on the approved budgets of cash- generating units for which an impairment test was carried out and the level of revenues, operating margin and future replacement and investment expenditures assumed in them;

– the discount rate used (based on weighted average cost of capital).

• checking mathematical correctness and methodological coherence (using internal valuation experts) of valuation model based on discounted cash flows, prepared by the Parent Company’s Management Board;

• recognized an impairment loss on the non-current assets of the Sudbury Basin, under KGHM International Ltd. Group, in the total amount of PLN 166 million;

• reversed an impairment loss on the non-current assets of the Robinson mine within the KGHM International Ltd. group in the amount of PLN 38 million.

Disclosures regarding the assessment of impairment of non-current assets are presented in part 3 of the consolidated financial statements (note 3.1).

As at 31 December 2021, the Group reported the carrying amount of investments in the Sierra Gorda SCM joint venture in the amount of PLN 0 (zero). In 2021, there was an increase in the estimated expected cash flows from the joint venture's assets, which affected the valuation of loans granted to the joint venture as at December 31, 2021 (the key audit matter " Valuation of financial assets due to loans granted to the Sierra Gorda SCM Joint Venture "), but did not result in a reversal a previously recognized impairment loss on an investment. Disclosures in this regard are presented in note 6.1.

In line with the Group's accounting policy, investments in joint ventures are measured using the equity method less impairment losses.

Pursuant to IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets", the Management Board of the Parent Company conducts at the end of the reporting period, and in the event of special events also during the year, an assessment of the occurrence of premises indicating the possibility of impairment or reduction of a previously recognized

• checking mathematical correctness and methodological coherence (using internal valuation experts) of valuation reports prepared by independent appraisers;

• assessment of work performed by external experts used by the Parent Company’s Management Board, including their competence and independence;

• assessment of the sensitivity analysis of the assumptions made by the Parent Company’s Management Board to the result of the impairment assessment;

• assessment of the correctness and completeness of disclosures regarding impairment tests in the consolidated financial statements.

write-off in relation to tangible and intangible assets and investments in joint ventures.

In the event of occurrence of such indicators, the Management Board calculates the recoverable amount of cash-generating units.

Determination of the recoverable amount is associated with the need to adopt a number of significant assumptions and make judgments for each of the tested cash-generating units, including in particular the Parent Company's strategy towards individual entities, macroeconomic and market assumptions, predictions as to legal conditions, financial plans and cash flow forecasts.

Considering the inherent risk of uncertainty associated with significant estimates made by the Parent Company’s Management Board when measuring the recoverable amount of non-current assets, we have determined that this is a key audit matter.

Fair value measurement of derivatives and hedge accounting

The Group is a party to derivative transactions related to volatility of prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Disclosures related to derivative instruments are presented in note 7.2 of the consolidated financial statements.

The value of derivative financial assets as at 31 December 2021 amounted to PLN 849 million, including PLN 834 million under hedge accounting.

The value of derivative financial liabilities as at 31 December 2021 amounted to PLN 2,023 million, including PLN 1,904 million under hedge accounting.

The Group applies hedge accounting for cash flows.

In accordance with the accounting policy of the Parent Company, derivatives are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period or at transaction settlement date. In relation to instruments hedging future cash flows, gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these instrument, in the portion which is effective, are deferred in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the capital for the valuation of financial instruments, until the transactions that are the subject of the hedge have an impact on financial result. As at 31 December 2021, the accumulated amount of other comprehensive income from the valuation of hedging derivatives recognized in equity amounted to PLN 1,295 million.

Estimating the fair value of derivatives and the effectiveness of the established hedging relationships is an area that requires a significant estimates by the Management Board

Our testing procedures included in particular:

• assessment of compliance of the accounting policy adopted by the Parent Company with respect to the initial recognition and subsequent measurement of derivative instruments with the relevant financial reporting standards;

• understanding of the hedging policy adopted by the Parent Company against the risk of changes in metals prices, interest rate risk and currency risk ;

• understanding and evaluation of the process of valuation of derivative instruments, including the adopted methodology and sources of obtaining market data and unobservable valuation parameters;

• verification of key parameters of selected derivatives to external independent data sources;

• performing and independent valuations of all open derivatives at fair value at the balance sheet date, with the use of PwC's internal valuation experts, and comparing them with results of Group's valuations;

• verification, performed by internal PwC valuation expert, of the correctness of the application of hedge accounting, determining the part of an effective hedging relationship, conducting qualitative effectiveness tests and verification of the division of relationships into effective and ineffective portion;

• assessing the differences in the fair value measurement of derivative instruments between independent PwC valuations and the valuations prepared by the Group. In cases where the obtained results differed from those calculated by the management of the Parent Company, we assessed whether these differences are within acceptable ranges, taking into account the estimates of future metal prices, interest rates and exchange rates in the valuation;

Auditor’s responsibility for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the NSA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

The scope of the audit does not include an assurance on the Group’s future profitability nor the efficiency and effectiveness of the Parent Company’s Management Board conducting its affairs, now or in future.

As part of an audit in accordance with NSA, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;

• obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control;

• evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Parent Company’s Management Board;

• conclude on the appropriateness of the Parent Company’s Management Board’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern;

• evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;

• obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit and we remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Audit Committee of the Parent Company regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

13

TRANSLATION ONLY

We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated to the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Report on the compliance of the labelling of the consolidated financial statements with the requirements of the European Single Electronic Format ("ESEF")

In connection with the audit of the consolidated financial statements, we have been engaged by the Parent Company's management to perform an attestation service that provides reasonable assurance to express an opinion on whether the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021 prepared in a single electronic reporting format contained in a file named “G30CO71KTT9JDYJESN22-2021-12-31.zip” (the "consolidated financial statements in ESEF format") have been labelled in accordance with the requirements set out in Article 4 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards concerning the specifications of the uniform electronic reporting format (the "ESEF Regulation").

Description of the subject matter of the contract and applicable criteria

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in the ESEF format by the Parent Company’s Management Board to comply with the technical requirements regarding the specification of a single electronic reporting format and marking up, which are set out in the ESEF Regulation.

The subject matter of our assurance engagement is the compliance of the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation and the requirements of this regulation, in our view, constitute appropriate criteria to form a reasonable assurance conclusion.

Responsibility of the Management Board of the Parent Company and the Supervisory Board

The Parent Company’s Management Board is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format in accordance with the technical requirements regarding the specification of a single electronic reporting format which are set out in the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility includes the selection and application of appropriate markups in XBRL using taxonomy specified in the ESEF Regulation. The responsibility of the Management Board includes also designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format which are free from material non-compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation and their marking-up in compliance with these requirements.

Members of the Supervisory Board of the Parent Entity are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process, which includes also the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the format compliant with legal requirements.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our objective was to express an opinion, based on the conducted reasonable assurance engagement, whether the consolidated financial statements prepared in the ESEF format were marked up, in all material respects, with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with the National Standard on Assurance Engagements other than Audit and Review 3001pl - audit of financial statements prepared in the single electronic reporting format (“KSUA 3001pl”) and where relevant with the National Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Z) in the wording of the International Standard on Assurance Services 3000 (revised) - ‘Assurance Engagements other than Audits and Reviews of Historical Financial Information’ a/s issued by the National Council of Statutory Auditors (KSUA 3000(Z)). These standards require that we comply with ethical requirements, plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance

16

TRANSLATION ONLY

whether the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format were marked up, in all material aspects, in compliance with the specified criteria.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that the service performed in accordance with KSUA 3001pl and KSUA 3000 (Z) will always detect the existing material misstatement (significant non-compliance with the requirements).

The selection of the procedures depend on the auditor's judgement, including the auditor's assessment of the risk of material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. In performing the assessments of this risk, the auditor shall consider the internal control related to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format and its marking-up in order to plan appropriate procedures to provide the auditor with sufficient evidence appropriate to the circumstances. The assessment of the functioning of the internal control system was not carried out in order to express an opinion on the effectiveness of its operation.

Quality control and ethical requirements

We apply the provisions of the regulation of the National Council of Statutory Auditors with regard to internal quality control in the wording of International Standard on Quality Control 1 and accordingly maintain a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We comply with the independence and other ethical requirements of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants and as adopted by resolution of the National Council of Statutory Auditors, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

Summary of work done

Our planned and performed procedures were aimed at obtaining reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements in the ESEF format were marked-up, in all material aspects, in compliance with the applicable requirements. Our procedures included in particular:

● understand the internal controls and processes specific to the use of the Electronic Reporting Format for the consolidated financial statements, including the use of XHTML format and labelling of the consolidated financial statements;
