Report on the Annual Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the annual financial statements of CD PROJEKT Spółka Akcyjna (the Company) with its

December 31, 2022, and the statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of
changes in equity, statement of cash flows for the financial year then ended, and notes, comprising a summary

financial performance and of its cash flows for the financial year then ended in accordance with the
International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and related
interpretations published in the form of European Commission regulations and adopted accounting
principles (policy),
• were prepared on the basis of properly maintained books of account,

Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with
• the Act of May 11, 2017 on statutory auditors, audit firms, and public supervision (uniform text: Journal
of Laws of 2022, item 1302, as amended) (the Act on Statutory Auditors),
• International Standards on Auditing adopted as National Standards on Auditing (NSA) by the National
Council of Statutory Auditors’ resolution No. 3430/52a/2019 of March 21, 2019, as amended and
• Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April,16 2014 on
specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities and repealing Commission
Decision 2005/909/EC (OJ L 158, 27.5.2014, p. 77 and OJ L 170, 11.6.2014, p. 66) (the Regulation
537/2014).
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Annual Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards) (IESBA Code) adopted by the National Council of Statutory Auditors’ resolution No. 3431/52a/2019
of March 25, 2019 together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements in Poland. In particular, in conducting the audit the Key Audit Partner and the Audit Firm remained
independent of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Act on Statutory Auditors and the
Regulation 537/2014. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
and the IESBA Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of
the annual financial statements of the current period. They include the most significant assessed risks of
material misstatement, including assessed risk of material misstatement due to fraud. These matters were
addressed in the context of the audit of the annual financial statements as a whole, and in forming the auditor’s
opinion thereon. Below, we provided a summary of our response to those risks and where relevant, key
observations arising with those risks. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenues recognition
Description
Sales revenue recognition is based on granting a license for the distribution of games.
Due to the valuable significance of this revenue item and the use of information from an external entity in the
valuation process, this has been identified as one of the key risks of the audit.
Disclosures of sales revenues are presented in note 1 to the financial statements.
Auditor’s response
Audit procedures performed in this area included, among others:
• review of the accounting policy in the part concerning the recognition of revenues and related
estimates and judgments,
• detailed substantive tests, including test of details of revenues verification with license reports

o verification of chosen transactions at the ends of reporting periods,
o analytical procedures consist in particular in the analysis of sales and margins and their
trends, broken down into months and years.
Expenses for development costs (ongoing and completed)
Description
The company has significant expenditures for unfinished and completed development works.
Determining the scope of development expenditures to be capitalized in assets, determining the expected
useful life of capitalized expenditures and their assessment in in the context of impairment involve making
significant accounting judgments and estimates. Accordingly, we identified this as the key audit matter.
Disclosures of development works revenues are presented in note 12 to the financial statements.
Auditor’s response
Audit procedures performed in this area included, among others:
• substantive tests testing the correctness of allocation of expenditures for development works on
chosen sample
• study of internal control and correct operation of the IT system operation
• assessment of indication of and impairment tests of finished development works and work in progress,
• assessment of the correctness of the adopted rates and methods of deprecation of CP 2077
development works
Responsibilities of Management Board and Supervisory Board for the Annual Financial Statements
The Management Board of the Company is responsible for the preparation, on the basis of properly maintained
books of account, of these annual financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position,
financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the International Accounting
Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and related interpretations published in the form of
European Commission regulations, adopted accounting principles (policy), legal regulations, and the
Company’s articles of association. The Management Board of the Company is also responsible for such internal
control as the Management Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of annual financial
statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the annual financial statements, the Management Board is responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Management Board either intends to liquidate the
Company or to cease the operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
In accordance with the Accounting Act of September 29, 1994 (uniform text: Journal of Laws of 2023, item 120)
(the Accounting Act), the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of the Company are obliged to assure
compliance of the annual financial statements with the requirements of the Accounting Act. The Supervisory
Board is responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual 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 NSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual financial statements.
The scope of the audit does not include assurance on the future viability of the Company or on the efficiency or
effectiveness with which the Management Board has conducted or will conduct the affairs of the Company.
As part of an audit in accordance with NSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual 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 Company’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by the Management Board.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the 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 Company’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 annual 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 Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the annual financial statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the Supervisory Board 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.
We also provide the Supervisory Board 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, related safeguards.
From matters communicated with the Supervisory Board, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the 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 the 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.

December 31, 2022, the Corporate Governance Statement which is a separate part of the Report on the
Company’s operations and the Separate Statement on non-financial information specified in Article 49b clause

Board of the Company are obliged to assure compliance of the Report on the Company’s operations with the
requirements of the Accounting Act.
Responsibilities of the Auditor
Our opinion on the annual financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon that results from NSAs. In connection with our audit of the annual
financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether it is
materially inconsistent with the annual financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a
material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact. Additionally, according to the
Act on Statutory Auditors, our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the Report on the Company’s
operations has been prepared in accordance with legal regulations and whether information included therein is
consistent with the accompanying annual financial statements. Moreover, we are obliged to report on whether
the Company prepared the Statement on non-financial information and to express an opinion on whether the
Company included the required information in the Corporate Governance Statement. We obtained the Report
on the Company’s operations, Corporate Governance Statement and Separate Statement on non-financial
information prior to the date of this auditor’s report, while the remaining parts of the Annual Report will be
delivered later. If we conclude that there is a material misstatement in the Annual Report, we are required to
communicate the matter to the Supervisory Board.
Opinion on the Report on the Company’s operations
In our opinion, the Report on the Company’s operations has been prepared in accordance with the applicable
legal regulations, i.e. Article 49 of the Accounting Act and Paragraph 70 of the Regulation of the Minister of
Finance of March 29, 2018 on current and periodic information disclosed by issuers of securities and the
conditions for recognition as equivalent of the information required by law of a non-member state (Journal of
Laws of 2018, item 757) (the Regulation on current and periodic information), and information included therein
is consistent with the accompanying annual financial statements. Moreover, taking into account our knowledge
of the Company and its environment obtained during the audit of the annual financial statements, we state that
we have not identified any material misstatements in the Report on the Company’s operations.
Opinion on the Corporate Governance Statement
In our opinion, the Corporate Governance Statement includes the information required by Paragraph 70 clause
6 point 5 of the Regulation on current and periodic information. The information specified in Paragraph 70
clause 6 point 5 letters c-f, h and i of the Regulation on current and periodic information included in the
Corporate Governance Statement complies with applicable regulations and is consistent with the information
included in the annual financial statements.
