KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version

PART 1 General information
Note 1.1 Corporate information
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. (“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, 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 Company’s principal activities include:
the mining of copper and non-ferrous metals ores; and
the production of copper, precious and non-ferrous metals.
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. carries out copper ore mining activities based on concessions given for specific mine deposits, and also
based on mining usufruct agreements and mine operating plans.
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is a parent entity of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group (“Group”).
Note 1.2 Going concern
The separate financial statements were prepared under the assumption of continuing as a going concern by KGHM Polska Miedź
S.A. during a period of at least 12 months from the end of the reporting period in a significantly unaltered form and business
scope, and there are no reasons to suspect any intentional or forced discontinuation or significant limitation of the Company’s
current activities. Therefore, as at the date of signing of the financial statements the Management Board is not aware of the
occurrence of any facts or circumstances that may cast doubt about the going concern in the foreseeable future.
During the assessment of the capacity to continue operations, forecasts of financial liquidity, debt level, key debt ratios and
profitability were taken into account.
The Company identifies and actively manages the liquidity risk understood as the possibility of losing the capacity or limitation of
the ability to cover its current expenses, ensuring the appropriate level of cash and availability of a wide portfolio of flexible
sources of financing in order to ensure capacity to timely meeting the current and future financial obligations. In order to minimise
the risk of occurrence of a liquidity gap, the Company takes actions aimed at ensuring safety and financial stability by diversifying
the sources of financing and ensuring their long-term maturities. The Company is fully capable of meeting its payment obligations
on time. The selected questions on liquidity management, with particular emphasis on ratios, debt level and available sources of
financing, are described in Part 8 Borrowings and the management of liquidity and capital. Moreover, during the assessment of
capacity to continue operations, of significance is the analysis of profitability by monitoring the EBITDA Margin ratio, which is one
of the measures of assessing the activities of the Company (Part 2 Information on segments and revenues).
To assess the capacity to continue operations by the Company, the Management Board analysed the current risks, assessed the
impact of armed conflicts throughout the world, including the war in Ukraine (Note 1.2.2) and the risks associated with the climate
change on activities of the Company (Note 1.2.3).
As at the date of adoption for issue of these financial statements, no indications of circumstances were identified pointing out
the threat to the continuance of the Company’s operations in the foreseeable future, that is in the period of no less than 1 year
from the end of the reporting period.
Note 1.2.1 Monitored areas macroeconomic conditions
The following macroeconomic factors have the most significant impact on the activities and financial results of the Company:
copper and silver prices, prices of fuel, electricity and energy carriers as well as market interest rates, USD/PLN exchange rate
and the level of Polish inflation.
Market-quoted prices of copper, silver and gold as well as the USD/PLN exchange rate shape the amount of revenues from sales
and constitute a part of a market risk which is managed by the Company by, among others, derivatives transactions hedging the
prices as well as the exchange rate. At the same time, these parameters have a significant impact on some of the Company’s
costs, while the prices of fuels, energy carriers and electricity have a direct and equally significant impact on the level of costs.
With regard to energy resources, the Company applies hedging actions through, among others, concluding bilateral agreements,
forward purchases and the use of derivatives, which are part of a comprehensive market risk management system. Furthermore,
the level of market interest rates was reflected in the level of discount rates used by the Company in the balance sheet
measurement of assets and liabilities recognised in the statement of financial position.
PART 1 General information

KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version

All of the aforementioned risk factors have an impact on the measurement of recoverable amount of the Company’s assets,
where not only the current volatility of commodities and exchange rates shaping the amount of revenues and a significant part
of costs is of significance, but above all the volatility of forecasts on shaping these factors in subsequent periods, since they have
an impact on production and investment plans. Moreover, due to the long-term nature of mining and metallurgical assets, the
applied discount rate, which remains under the influence of market interest rates, is of particular importance.
The impact of macroeconomic factors on individual areas of operations as well as assets and liabilities of the Company was
presented in the following notes:

Note 1.2.2 Monitored areas impact of the war in Ukraine, effects of customs policy and global trade war, conflict in
the Middle East
Impact of the war in Ukraine
In the reporting period, the Company did not record any negative impact due to the war in Ukraine, and the potential impact in
subsequent periods is assessed as low.
The most significant risk factors related to the war in Ukraine and which could have an impact on the Company’s activities are
changes in the supply chains, the availability of materials, components, fuels and energy on international markets, the volatility
of prices of copper and silver on commodity markets, the volatility of the USD/PLN exchange rate, fluctuations in prices of energy
carriers and electricity, and the general uncertainty on financial markets.
From the Company's point of view, the war in Ukraine has an impact on market risk related to fluctuations in metals prices and
stock market indices in the reporting period. For more information, see Note 3.1 Impairment losses on assets.
To assess the impact of the above-mentioned risk categories on the Company’s operations, a detailed analysis of information on
production, sales, supply chain, personnel management and finance is carried out on an ongoing basis.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. has not experienced a significantly negative impact of volatility
of supply chains on its business activities. Taking into account the continuity of energy supplies (natural gas, coal, coke), KGHM
Polska Miedź S.A. currently has full capacity to maintain the continuity of operation of the core production line and all production
processes.
Nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out that the continuation of this armed conflict as well as the system of economic sanctions may
have a significantly negative impact in subsequent periods on suppliers and customers of the Company and lead to unfavourable
deviations in the continuity of materials and services supply chains.
However, the geopolitical situation associated with the aggression of Russia on Ukraine and the implemented system of sanctions
currently does not limit the operations of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., while the risk of interruptions to the operational continuity of
the Company in this regard is considered to be low.
The ongoing war in Ukraine and limited availability of Russian cathodes on European markets had been discounted by the market,
and did not constitute an additional factor affecting the sales results of basic copper products in 2025. At the same time, the
situation associated with the war in Ukraine is not a significant factor in shaping the demand for copper semi-finished products
(ETP wire rod and OFE wire). In this product market, the good economic situation is mainly driven by significant investments
related to the energy transformation in Europe.
In terms of the availability of capital and the level of debt, the Company holds no bank loans drawn from institutions threatened
with sanctions.
Effects of customs policy and global trade war (USA, China, European Union)
In the reporting period, the Company did not record a negative impact on its business activities due to customs policy and the
global trade war involving the USA, China and the European Union, and the potential impact on the Company in subsequent
periods is judged to be low. The US market does not play a significant role in the geographical structure of sales of products
manufactured by KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. outside of the USA’s borders and therefore the direct impact of announced tariffs will
be limited.
Trade of copper and copper-made products is excluded from the general trade agreement and is regulated by other provisions
under the detailed procedure “Section 232”, wherein tariffs are varied for copper at different processing stages. Trade barriers

announced by the USA on copper and copper-made products will have the greatest impact on the American market. In October
2025, China announced the implementation of more restrictive regulations on the export of rare earth metals and products
containing them. China controls most of the processing capacity for these metals, and according to European Commission data,
a significant portion of import of rare earth metals required by European industry comes from China. These changes may result
in delays or difficulties in obtaining export licenses, particularly in relation to the energy transition. Renewable energy
components may therefore become more expensive and less available, which may cause delays in investments in wind farms
(especially offshore wind farms). It should be noted that in response to Chinese trade restrictions, there is a noticeable change
in the approach of European countries to trade with China in terms of, among others, components for the energy transition. In
December 2025, Italy was the first EU country to hold an auction for the supply of solar panels, which banned the participation
of Chinese modules, cells and inverters. In 2026, it is possible that other countries will introduce similar restrictions, aimed at
giving priority to components manufactured in the European Union. With regard to the Polish economy, difficulties in obtaining
Chinese-made parts necessary to increase the capacity of RES installations may potentially result in a slowdown in the energy
transition, hindering the reduction of CO emissions and limiting the growth rate of the share of RES in the Polish energy mix.
Mining and production operations in Poland are and will continue to be of key importance for KGHM. However the potential
escalation of trade barriers in various regions of the world could negatively impact the dynamics of global economic growth and,
consequently, the demand for raw materials. Therefore, economic and political processes affecting international trade are
continuously monitored and analysed by the Company.
Conflict in the Middle East
In the reporting period, the Company did not record any negative impact from factors related to the conflict in the Middle East.
Due to the escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the commencement of military operations by the
United States and Israel against Iran, the most significant categories of conflict-related risks affecting the operations of the
Company are the following:
potential impact on the global economies,
volatility of oil and natural gas prices,
volatility of exchange rates (mainly USD/PLN),
volatility of gold and silver prices,
supply chain disruptions and availability of fuels and energy on international markets.
Due to the high uncertainty related to development of the political situation in the Middle East, neither its scale nor the potential
impact on KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. as at the publication date can be estimated for subsequent periods.
Note 1.2.3 Monitored areas risks and hazards associated with the climate
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is a conscious and responsible participant in the energy transition, and considers adaptation to climate
changes and the management of climate risk to be of key importance.
As part of the risk management process, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. takes climate changes into account by conducting a scenario
analysis based on six baseline scenarios considered in three time perspectives: short - up to 1 year, medium - from 1 to 5 years
and long - over 5 years, with several assumptions:
in the case of scenarios for transition risk, in terms of the implementation of the adopted climate policy and the resulting
changes in parameters important from KGHM's perspective e.g. prices of emission allowances, energy consumption,
changes in demand for copper,
in the case of scenarios for physical risk scenarios, the starting point for the analysis is the levels of greenhouse gas
concentrations in the atmosphere and the resulting changes in the Earth's temperature and the following consequences.
The climate risk related to the transition, to which the Company is exposed, arises from the need to adapt the economy to gradual
climate change. This risk category comprises questions related to legal requirements, technological progress towards a low-
carbon economy and changes in demand and supply for certain products and services, whose production is associated with the
climate risk as well as the growing expectations of stakeholders regarding the Company as to the reduction of its impact on the
climate.
PART 1 General information

KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version

The Company is exposed to physical climate risk, arising from specific events, in particular related to violent and chronic weather
phenomena resulting from changes in the climate, such as, for example: rainless days (droughts), strong/violent winds, increases
in average daily temperature as well as permanent changes in weather patterns, which could impact the operations of KGHM
Polska Miedź S.A. by, among others, disruptions in the supply chain, the continuity of the core production business and an
increase in operating costs directly related to the business activities, as well as through more difficult working conditions.
The Company continuously evaluates the risk associated with the climate and its impact on the operations under the process of
Corporate Risk Management of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, which was described 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 2025, section 1.5.
A detailed description of identified, key climate risks associated with the negative impact of climate changes on the activities of
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., including description of actions undertaken by the Company to mitigate their impact, is presented in
the Management Board’s report on the activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. and the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group in 2025,
section 1.5.
Impact of climate risk on the financial statements
Under the analyses conducted to assess the impact of climate risk on items presented in the Company’s financial statements (in
particular in the case of variable costs of CO
2
emission allowances, the increase in electricity purchase costs, costs associated
with research and additional expenditures on development of internal energy sources, included in the Energy Development
Program under the Decarbonisation Program), the following areas were subjected to detailed assessment:
adopted economic useful lives of fixed assets and their residual values,
existence of indications of the possibility of impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and
assumptions adopted for impairment testing of these assets,
assumptions adopted for the measurement of loans granted,
revaluation of the provision for future decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities,
revaluation of provisions for additional costs of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses,
liabilities and liabilities due to guarantees associated with potential fines and environmental penalties.
As a result of the aforementioned work, as at 31 December 2025 no material impact of climate risk on the aforementioned areas
was identified.
Details on the analysis of the impact of climate risk on the verification of the economic useful lives of fixed assets are presented
in note 9.1, and on the revaluation of the provision for decommissioning costs of mines in note 9.4.
Note 1.3 Declaration by the Management Board on the accuracy of the prepared separate financial statements

Note 1.5 Foreign currency transactions and the measurement of items denominated in foreign currencies
The financial statements are presented in Polish zloty (PLN), which is both the functional and presentation currency of the
Company.
PART 1 General information
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
15
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 on a bank account in a currency
other than the operation currency,
at the average exchange rate set for a given currency, prevailing on the date of the transaction for other transactions. The
exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction is the average NBP rate announced on the last working day
preceding the transaction date.
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.
Note 1.6 Impact of new and amended standards and interpretations
Amendments to standards applied for the first time in the separate financial statements for 2025:
Amendments to IAS 21 on how to approach the issue of assessment as to whether a given currency is exchangeable and
how to determine a spot exchange rate if it is not exchangeable, effective on or after 1 January 2025.
Up to the date of publication of these separate financial statements, the aforementioned amendment was adopted for use by
the European Union and it does not have an impact on these separate financial statements.
Note 1.7 Published standards and interpretations, which are not yet in force and were not applied earlier by the
Company
Published standards and interpretations which are not yet in force, adopted for use by the European Union:
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments,
effective on 1 January 2026. As a result of conducting a post-implementation review of the application of IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments by the International Accounting Standards Board (hereafter: the Board), the Board published amendments to
IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 on:
- classification of financial instruments (mainly loans granted) associated with ESG features, i.e. in respect of which the
interest is dependent on climate, environmental or social factors. The objective of the amendment is the elimination of
discrepancies in the approach of entities to the measurement of these instruments, that is, whether to measure them at
amortised cost or at fair value (SPPI test). The amendment to IFRS 9 will not have an impact on the separate financial
statements of the Company, since the Company does not have any such instruments.
- principles of derecognition of liabilities, when they are settled in cash using an electronic payment system. In 2021, the
IFRS Interpretations Committee confirmed that in principle, an entity should derecognise financial liabilities and financial
assets as at the date of their settlement. This approach and current principles on derecognition of financial assets and
liabilities described in IFRS 9 remain in force. However, due to problems with adjustment to this requirement in terms of
derecognition of financial liabilities regulated by electronic payment systems, the Board decided to permit an entity to
apply a voluntary exception regarding the cancellation of financial liabilities, which enables the possibility to deem a
financial liability to be discharged earlier, that is before the settlement date if the entity has initiated a payment instruction
and the following conditions have been met:
o the entity has no practical ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment instruction,
o the entity has no practical ability to access the cash to be used for settlement as a result of the payment instruction,
and
o the settlement risk associated with the electronic payment system is insignificant (this refers to the risk that a
transaction will not be successfully settled).
PART 1 General information
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
16
If this voluntary exception is applied, the adopted solutions should be applied consequently to all settlements made using
the same electronic payment system. The exception introduced by the Board does not apply to the settlement of liabilities
using electronic payment systems. Therefore, liabilities should be removed from the statement of financial position only
when the cash is received in the entity's bank account.
The aforementioned change will not have an impact on the separate financial statements of the Company, because the
Company derecognises a financial liability which is settled in cash using an electronic payment system as at the date of
settlement.
- introduction to IFRS 7 paragraph 11A of changes in information disclosure requirements on equity instruments designated
at fair value through other comprehensive income, by limiting the disclosure of fair value of each such investment at the
end of the reporting period and disclosing its total value while simultaneously introducing a requirement to disclose the
change in fair value during the reporting period. The Company holds such instruments and will appropriately adjust the
scope of disclosure to the amended requirements.
Annual improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards volume 11, effective on 1 January 2026. As part of the minor
amendments, mainly of a clarificatory nature, changes were introduced to:
- IFRS 1 First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, on retrospective designation of currently applied
hedge accounting. This change will not have an impact on the Company.
- IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, in paragraph B38 on gain or loss on derecognition, an erroneous reference was
corrected and three amendments were introduced to IFRS 7 Implementation Guidance, i.e. in the introduction it was
explained that the implementation guidance does not illustrate all the aspects of the application of IFRS 7; in the case of
disclosure regarding credit risk, the editing of paragraph IG20B was corrected with no impact on the current wording and
under the amendment to paragraph IG14 it was indicated that if, at the moment of initial recognition of an acquired asset
for which an active market does not exist, there is a difference between its fair value calculated using the measurement
techniques and the transaction price, this difference should be settled in subsequent periods in accordance with IFRS 9
guidelines and the appropriate accounting policy, which should be subsequently disclosed in the financial statements.
The amendments to IFRS 7 will not have a significant impact on the separate financial statements of the Company.
- IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, introducing the following amendments: in the case of derecognition of lease liabilities, in
paragraph 2.1b(ii) a reference was added to paragraph 3.3.3 IFRS 9 and paragraph 5.1.3 on measurement, at the initial
recognition, of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component, and the wording that they should
be recognised at transaction price as defined in IFRS 15 was replaced by wording that they should be recognised at the
amount determined by applying IFRS 15. The amendments to IFRS 9 will not have a significant impact on the separate
financial statements of the Company.
- IFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements, in paragraph B74, correcting wording that in certain situations could hinder the
correct application of paragraph B73 on the basis of which, an entity being an investor shall consider the nature of its
relationship with other parties and whether those other parties are acting on the investor’s behalf, i.e. they are “de facto
agents”. The amendments to IFRS 10 will not have an impact on the separate financial statements of the Company.
- IAS 7 Statement of cash flows, in paragraph 37, on accounting for an investment in a subsidiary, an associate or a joint
venture, the word “method” after “cost” was deleted, since the phrase “at cost method” is no longer used in IFRS
accounting standards, and instead the word “method” was added after the word “equity”, and therefore there are now
two phrases used: “the equity method” and “at cost”. The amendment to IAS 7 will not have an impact on the separate
financial statements of the Company.
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity, effective on 1 January 2026.
The amendments concern contracts, which expose the entity (purchaser of electricity) to variability in the underlying
amount of electricity because the electricity is generated from a source dependent on uncontrollable natural conditions
(such as wind and sun). The introduced changes concern:
- explanation of the application of requirements concerning the purchase of electricity “for own use”, on the basis of which
it is possible to exempt contracts for the purchase of renewable electricity from the scope of IFRS 9,
- permission to apply hedge accounting if contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity are used as hedging
instruments,
- an addition to IFRS 7 of new requirements on disclosure of information to enable investors to understand the impact of
these contracts on the financial results and cash flows of an entity.
The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 will not have an impact on the separate financial statements of the Company, since
PPA type agreements (Power Purchase Agreement) on the purchase of renewable energy of the Company do not provide
for the resale of the energy purchased from these energy sources and the Company does not anticipate the impossibility
of using the entire energy purchased from these energy sources for its own needs.

The new standard IFRS 18 Presentation and disclosure in financial statements, effective on or after 1 January 2027.
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of financial statements. The aim of the new standard is to improve the usefulness of
the information presented in financial statements by providing investors with more transparent and comparable
information on entities’ financial results. IFRS 18 retains a significant amount of requirements transferred from IAS 1 and
simultaneously introduces significant changes to the structure of the statement of profit or loss, disclosure of information
on management-defined performance measures and rearrangement of selected nomenclature, by defining the so-called
primary statements, in which the entity presents financial data and accompanying notes disclosing supplementary
information to primary statements.
In the case of the statement of profit or loss, entities will be obliged to classify their income and expenses recognised in this
statement to one of the following five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations.
While IFRS 18 indicates which revenues and costs should be presented in the categories of investing, financing, income
taxes and discontinued operations, the operating category is a residual category, in which, first of all, income and expenses
arising from an entity’s main business activities and the income and expenses which could not be presented within other
categories. Moreover, this standard introduces three obligatory subtotals in the statement of profit or loss: operating profit
or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
The next significant area of changes to IFRS 18 concerns management-defined performance measures. Currently, many
entities use individualised performance measures defined by the management, which are not required by the IFRS
accounting standards. IFRS 18 requires the disclosure of information on performance measures in a separate note and
introduces new regulations on management-defined performance measures, and defines them as appropriately
aggregated items of income and expenses, which meet all of the following criteria:
o they are used in public communications outside the financial statements, such as comments of the management
board, press releases and investor presentations,
o they are used to communicate to investors the management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the
entity as a whole,
o they are not listed in IFRS 18 (e.g. as subtotals) or specifically required by other IFRSs.
The introduction of IFRS 18 will have an impact on the Company’s separate financial statements, in particular on the
structure of the statement of profit or loss, i.e. on the breakdown of income and expenses into categories and on the
presentation of certain subtotals (i.e. a new subtotal will appear: operating profit or loss”). In the case of the introduced
categories, some items which are currently presented in other operating costs/income will be transferred to the investing
category, which currently does not exist in the statement of profit or loss. These will be mainly income and costs generated
by items such as loans granted and deposited cash. The category of financing, in turn, will distinguish between financial
revenues and costs divided into those arising from transactions constituting solely the acquisition of financing and those
arising from transactions that do not constitute solely the acquisition of financing, including, for example, interest costs on
specific benefit programs.
Moreover, in the Company’s preliminary opinion, the performance measure currently disclosed by the Company and not
defined by IFRSs, meaning adjusted EBITDA, will meet the criteria of a management-defined performance measure
pursuant to IFRS 18.
As a result of the publication of IFRS 18, other standards will also change significantly, among others: IAS 7, IAS 8.
Pursuant to the amended IAS 7, in the statement of cash flows in which operating cash flows are prepared using the indirect
method, the starting point for determining operating cash flows will be operating profit or loss instead of the current profit
before income tax. It will have an impact on the categories of items recognised in cash flow from operating activities which
adjust the output item. The amended IAS 7 will also remove the presentation alternatives for interest and dividend cash
flows, which under the amended IAS 7 may be presented only in investing or financing categories, respectively. Moreover,
IAS 7 indicates that interest paid that has been capitalised at the initial value of fixed assets will be presented by entities in
cash flows from financing activities. Currently, the Company presents this interest under cash flows from investing activities.
The scope of IAS 8 will be broadened by elements transferred from IAS 1 on the general features of financial statements
(that is: fair presentation, going concern, accrual basis of accounting (paragraphs 17-28 of IAS 1), and disclosure of
accounting principles (policies), and subjective judgments and sources of estimation uncertainty (paragraphs 117, 117A-
117E, 122-133 of IAS 1). As a result of broadening the scope of IAS 8, its name was changed to Basis of Preparation of Financial
Statements. The amendment to IAS 8 will not have an impact on the separate financial statements of the Company.
In the Company’s opinion, the application of IFRS 18 will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements,
in particular on the structure of the statement of profit or loss and on the statement of cash flows presented in the separate
financial statements of the Company.

Published standards and interpretations which are not yet in force, awaiting the adoption for use by the European
Union:
IFRS 14 Regulatory deferral accounts, effective on or after 1 January 2016. The European Commission has decided not to
launch the endorsement process of this interim standard and to wait for the final standard.
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 on the sale or contribution of assets between an Investor and its associate or joint
venture. The date of entry into force was postponed indefinitely by IASB.
The new standard IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without public accountability: disclosures and amendments to IFRS 19,
effective on or after 1 January 2027. IFRS 19 introduces requirements regarding the limited disclosure of information in
financial statements prepared pursuant to IFRSs, and is dedicated to related parties which do not have public accountability
and whose parent entity (intermediate or ultimate) publish consolidated financial statements pursuant to IFRSs (these are
the so-called qualifying subsidiaries). In 2025, amendments were made to IFRS 19 to reduce disclosure requirements in
relation to standards and amendments issued between February 2021 and May 2024. IFRS 19 does not concern the
Company KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., which is a public entity and therefore IFRS 19 will not have an impact on the separate
financial statements of the Company.
Amendments to IAS 21 on translating financial statements for the purposes of presentation in the currency of a
hyperinflationary economy, effective on or after 1 January 2027.
The Company intends to apply the published standards and interpretations which are not yet in force and were not applied
earlier by the Company, at their entry into force. In terms of the impact of amendments to standards that were not described in
detail in the information provided above, in the Company’s opinion, amendments to the standards will be applicable to its
activities as regards future economic operations, transactions or other events in respect of which the amendments to the
standards are applicable.
Impact of the international tax system reform: pillar 2 of the BEPS 2.0 project
The act of 6 November 2024 on top-up taxation of individual companies of international and Polish groups (hereafter: the Act)
implemented rules of the Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 14 December 2022 on ensuring a global minimum level of taxation
for multinational enterprise groups and large-scale domestic groups in the Union to the Polish legal system. Adoption of the Act is the
realisation of guidelines of the so-called pillar 2 of the BEPS 2.0 project, which introduces a general framework for a global
minimum tax approved under the work of the OECD forum.
The Polish legal acts entered into force on 1 January 2025 with the possibility of their voluntary application from 1 January 2024
(in the case of the global top-up tax and the Polish top-up tax), but KGHM Polska MieS.A. did not exercise the voluntary
application option as of 1 January 2024.
The current wording of the Act is based on OECD Model Rules of 2021 and the EU Directive of 2022 and incorporates provisions
of OECD Administrative Guidance on the application of regulations on the BEPS 2.0 reform, which were published in 2023.
Pursuant to the Act, the Company KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. meets the criteria of a so-called MNE (multinational enterprise) and
therefore is obliged to report a specific level of the tax rate of its subsidiaries at the level of individual jurisdictions.
The Company, as the Parent Entity, continuously monitors progress of the legislative work aimed at implementation of the rules
of the reform of pillar 2 of the BEPS 2.0 project in all jurisdictions in which subsidiaries of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group
operate, and analyses their potential impact on the Company and the Group. As at the date of publication of these separate
financial statements of the Company, regulations on the global and domestic top-up tax were implemented in the following
jurisdictions in which the Group operates: Canada, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, Germany and Poland.
While the rules of the Directive should have been in force from 2024, the OECD Framework (including OECD guidelines published
in January 2026) include a transitional period, which postpones the obligations in this regard by 4 subsequent years. Based on a
detailed technical analysis of the assumptions stipulated in transitional rules, it is assessed that the Group will be able to use
them in the majority of jurisdictions in which it operates. Moreover, according to the current estimates, the probability of paying
the top-up tax in any of the jurisdictions is judged by the Group to be low.
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 12 paragraph 88A, the Company does not recognise deferred tax assets and liabilities
related to income taxes of pillar 2 and does not disclose information about these assets and liabilities. Based on the results of
the conducted analyses, these separate financial statements do not contain any amounts arising from the reform of the
international tax system pillar 2.
For 2025, the Company did not incur any liability due to the top-up tax and therefore the Company is not obliged to pay it.
However, the Company will be required to pay the top-up tax for the years 2026 and 2027 if the conditions of maintaining the
exemption under the temporary safe harbours for this period are not met and if at the level of any of the jurisdictions in which
the subsidiaries of the Group are currently present their effective tax rate (calculated in accordance with the BEPS (Base erosion
and profit shifting) rules) is below 15%.

In the years following 2027, the Company will be obliged to pay the top-up tax if in any of the jurisdictions in which the Group is
present, the effective tax rate (calculated in accordance with the BEPS rules) is below 15%. Since the Group's entities are generally
located in high-tax jurisdictions, according to the Group's current assessment, including the Parent Entity’s, the probability of
paying the top-up tax in the future is judged as low.

PART 2 Operating segments and information on revenues
Operating segments
Based on an analysis of the Company’s organisational structure, its system of internal reporting and the management model, it
was determined that the Company’s activity constitutes a single operating and reporting segment, which may be defined as
“Production of copper, precious metals and other metallurgical products”.
The core business of the Company is the production of copper and silver. Production is a fully integrated process, in which the
end-product of one stage is the half-finished product used in the next stage. Copper ore extracted in the mines is transported to
concentrators where the enrichment process is carried out. As a result of this process, copper concentrate is produced, which is
then supplied to the metallurgical plants where it is smelted and fire refined into anode copper. Then, during the process of
electrolytic refining, the anode copper is converted into copper cathodes, which are a commercial product, or a material to
produce wire rod.
Anode slimes, which arise from the process of copper electrorefining, is a raw material used to produce silver and gold. Lead-
bearing dust which is generated from the smelting processes is used to produce lead. Nickel sulphate and copper sulphate are
recovered from the processing of used electrolyte. Gases generated from the smelting furnaces are used to produce sulphuric
acid. Economic use is also made of smelter slags, which are sold as road-building materials.
Settlements made between successive stages of the technological process are based on measurement of production at cost, and
as a result the internal organisational units (i.e. mines, concentrators, metallurgical plants) in the production cycle do not generate
profit on sales.
The financial data prepared for management accounting purposes is based on the same accounting policies which are used to
prepare the financial statements. The Management Board of the Company, which is responsible for allocating resources and for
the financial results of the Company, regularly reviews financial reports in the process of making major operational decisions.
The organisational structure of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. has the Head Office and 10 Divisions, including: mines, concentrators and
metallurgical plants. The Head Office carries out sales of the Company’s basic products, i.e. electrolytic copper cathodes, wire rod
and silver, and support functions, particularly including the management of financial assets, centralised finance and accounting
services, marketing, legal and other services.
The Management Board of the Company assesses a segment’s performance based on Adjusted EBITDA and the profit or loss for
the period. The manner of calculating Adjusted EBITDA is presented in the table “Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA”.

Accounting policies
Revenues arising from ordinary operating activities of the Company, 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 Company generates its revenues mainly from the sale of: copper, silver and gold. Other, smaller streams of revenues arise
from the sale of services (including distribution of electricity, other utilities and IT services) and other products, merchandise and
materials (including refined lead, sulphuric acid, heat and electricity as well as other production waste).
Performance obligations and the moment when the performance obligation is satisfied
The Company recognises revenue from contracts with customers when the Company 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.
Since in every case, following the shipment of the promised good and transferring control over it, the Company has an
unconditional right to consideration from the customer, and the only condition of receiving it is time lapse, the Company
recognises the consideration from contracts with customers as receivables and therefore the Company does not recognise
contractual assets.
The Company 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 Company determines (based on contractual terms), whether the
obligation will be satisfied over time or at a specified moment. In particular, in contracts for the sale of copper, silver and gold,
every measurement unit of a transferred good (e.g. 1 tonne of copper or 1 kg of silver) is a separate performance obligation.
Therefore, for every sale or transfer of goods, constituting a multiplication of a measurement unit of a transferred product, which
is realised at the same time, the Company satisfies its performance obligation and at the same, specified moment recognises
revenues. The method of determining the moment when the performance obligation is satisfied at a specific point in time is
described below in Important estimates, assumptions and judgments.
Apart from contracts for supplying goods with transport services, there are no other contracts including more than one
performance obligation. The attribution of transaction prices to individual performance obligations are made on the basis of unit
sale prices.
In trade contracts in which the performance obligation is satisfied at a specified time, the Company uses various payment
conditions, including prepayments of up to several days before delivery and deferred payments of up to 120 days, although the
deferred payments do not concern sale transactions of silver and gold. Payment dates depend on the evaluation of the recipient’s
credit risk and the possibility of securing receivables. The consideration becomes due depending on contractual conditions, prior
to the realisation of the delivery (prepayment) or after the Company satisfies its performance obligation. If the Company receives
payment from the customer before it satisfies its performance obligation, it recognises it as contractual payables. However, in
the case of deferred payments terms, the Company recognises due consideration from the customer as a receivable only after
the transfer of promised products to the customer and the issuance of the invoice.
Revenues from sales of other services, such as distribution of utilities, rentals, leases, sharing IT systems and other are recognised
over time by the Company as it meets its obligations, as the customers simultaneously receive and gain economic benefits arising
from the Company’s performance and the Company has an unconditional right to consideration.
PART 2 Operating segments and information on revenues
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
23
Determining of the transaction price
Revenues from contracts with customers are recognised in the amount of the transaction price, consisting of the amount of the
consideration which in accordance with the Company’s expectations it will receive in return for the transfer of promised goods
or services to the customer, excluding any amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
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. The Company did not identify significant financing components in sales transactions to
customers realised in the current and comparable periods.
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 accounted 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 future 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.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgments
The Company 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 place (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
Company is also obliged to organise a shipping service. In these cases, the obligation to sell goods and the obligation to provide
a shipping service are treated as separate services promised in the contract. With respect to transport services, the Company
acts as a principal, as it has control over the service before its completion.
Revenues from sales of other services, such as distribution of utilities, rentals, leases, sharing IT systems and other are recognised
over time by the Company as it meets its obligations, as the customers simultaneously receive and gain economic benefits arising
from the Company’s performance and the Company has an unconditional right to consideration.
Onerous contracts and variable consideration
Taking into account the greater volatility of the macroeconomic environment, which has a significant impact on the Company’s
financial results, and requirements of IAS 37 as regards identification of onerous contracts, the Company periodically analyses
concluded contracts in terms of the potential occurrence of a situation under which the contractual sales price does not exceed
the estimated, unavoidable costs of realisation of such contracts.
For the sales contracts of main products (copper, silver, gold) the Company has limited options of transferring the potential increase
in production costs to the sales price of its final products, since the level of revenues from sales of these products mainly depends
on stock exchange quotations and currency exchange rates.
Some of the Company’s products are by-products of the copper production process (among others: sulphuric acid, copper sulphate,
nickel sulphate and lead), which, after further processing, may be sold to external clients. When making a decision to process and
sell them, the Company is not only guided by the potential future economic benefits of such contracts, but also pays attention to
other costs avoided in this way, which would have to be incurred in order to dispose of them. Despite the fact that the currently
observed and expected sales prices of some of these products (lead, sulphate) do not allow for achieving positive margins on these
products, the result on this activity is more favourable compared to the available alternative solutions (e.g. their disposal).
Therefore, the Company does not recognise certain contracts as onerous contracts, because in a broader perspective, it generates
profit for the overall copper production process, in which utilisation of by-products is its integral part.
On the basis of conducted analyses, the Company did not identify the occurrence of onerous contracts under IAS 37 as at
31 December 2025.

As at 1 January 2025, the balance of trade payables due to contracts with customers amounted to PLN 8 million and was fully
recognised in revenues for 2025. As at 31 December 2025, the Company did not have trade payables due to contracts with
customers.
Balances of trade payables as at 1 January and 31 December 2025 as well as at 1 January and 31 December 2024 were immaterial.
Therefore, the recognised adjustment to revenues in 2025 and 2024 due to the final determination of the sale price was
insignificant.
If the Company has remaining performance obligations as at the end of the reporting period that are unsatisfied, it is necessary to
disclose the transaction price allocated to these obligations (IFRS 15.120). The Company uses a practical approach and does not
disclose performance obligations that are part of contracts with initial period of one year or less. Moreover, the Company has
several long-term contracts, the price of which is based mainly on variable consideration that the Company does not include in
estimating the transaction price.

Note 3.1 Impairment losses on assets as at 31 December 2025
Assessment of the risk of impairment of assets of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in the context of the market capitalisation
of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
The Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. assessed the existence of indications of the possibility of impairment of
assets, pursuant to the requirements of International Accounting Standard 36 Impairment of assets. The analysis was carried
out taking into account both external factors resulting from the economic and market environments, as well as internal factors
relating to the unique nature of the entity's operations, the efficiency of the use of assets and changes in their expected utility.
In 2025, the share price of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. was characterised by high dynamics, supported, among others, by rising
prices of metals, especially copper and silver. The average price of the Company's shares in 2025 increased by 29.2% compared
to the share price at the end of 2024 and as at 31 December 2025 amounted to PLN 280.80 (the average share price in 2025 was
PLN 148.57). In the same period, the average WIG20 index increased by 26.8%, and the average WIG index increased by 28.2%.
As a result, the Company's market capitalisation increased from PLN 23 000 million to PLN 56 160 million, which means that as
at 31 December 2025 it remained at the level of 181% of the value of the Company's net assets. However, it should be noted
that the average ratio of market capitalisation to book value of net assets throughout 2025 was 93%.
From the point of view of the Company's operations, the key factor influencing the level of market capitalisation is the price of
copper. In 2025, the copper price maintained its upward trend, peaking in December 2025 due to the weakening of the US dollar,
global trade tensions and supply shortages in the copper market. The average copper price in 2025 was 9 945 USD/t, which is
higher than the prices recorded in 2024 (average of 9 147 USD/t).
In the case of the Polish assets, the price of metals in PLN is of significant importance, which is also affected by the USD/PLN
exchange rate. Fluctuations in copper prices are usually largely compensated by changes in the USD/PLN exchange rate. The
average exchange rate of the US dollar against the PLN in 2025 was PLN 3.76, which is lower than the exchange rate observed
in 2024 (average of PLN 3.98). Finally, the average copper price in PLN in 2025 was 37 303 PLN/t, which was higher by 2.5%
compared to the prices recorded in 2024 (average of 36 403 PLN/t).
More significant fluctuations could be observed on the precious metals market. The price of gold, supported by stable central
bank purchases, a weak US dollar, and a climate of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, rose almost continuously
throughout the year, reaching USD 4 308 per ounce at the end of December 2025 (compared to USD 2 611 per ounce at the end
of 2024). Along with gold, the price of silver also rose from USD 29 per ounce at the end of 2024 to USD 72 per ounce at the end
of December 2025.
After the balance sheet date, prices of metals continued their dynamic upward trend, reaching maximums on 29 January 2026
at 13 844 USD/t for copper, USD 5 502 per ounce of gold and USD 118 per ounce of silver alongside further weakening of the
US dollar. This trend was broken in the following days when there were sharp declines in metals prices, which shows significant
uncertainty about the development of prices in the future.
Favourable macroeconomic data in 2025 contributed to a decrease in market interest rates, to around 4.04 for WIBOR 1M, 3.99
for WIBOR 3M and 3.87 for WIBOR 6M at the end of December 2025, which has a positive impact on the profitability of the
business. The yield on 10-year bonds was 1.15 percentage points higher than the NBP reference rate.
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. maintains full operational capacity and consistently advances planned production, sales and investment
budget targets. The financial results achieved by the Company exceed the budget targets, which is also a result of conducted
optimisation initiatives and cost discipline applied in response to macroeconomic conditions.
The Company continued actions aimed at making the subsequent parts of the copper deposit available and at construction of
the mining infrastructure. Current, long-term production plans are up to 2055 and in the current period no indications were
identified that could negatively impact the future availability of deposits. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. continues exploration work
on the basis of its concessions and concession proceedings aimed at ensuring the resource base appropriate for operating
activities and prolonging mine life.
In the context of risks and hazards associated with climate, in the current period, no material impact on the activities of KGHM
Polska Miedź S.A. was identified. Detailed information is presented in Note 1.2.3 Monitored areas risks and hazards associated
with the climate.
On 1 January 2026, the Act of 21 November 2025 amending the Act on the minerals extraction tax and certain other acts,
introducing a temporary reduction of the coefficient in the tax calculation formula for copper and silver (2026-2028) and a
mechanism for deducting part of capital expenditures from tax (from 2029), entered into force.
In accordance with the aforementioned Act, the burden of reducing the amount of the copper tax will rest, to a large extent, on
the investment relief mechanism. For this reason, it will de facto serve as a source of financing capital expenditures and will not
have to directly translate into a significant change in free cash flows.
PART 3 Impairment of assets
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
27
The Company will be able to deduct a maximum of 40% of the value of eligible expenditures (no more than 30% of the input
tax), which will require the involvement of significant capital in order to fully use the reduction on the minerals extraction tax.
Moreover, in the case of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., a significant group of investments eligible for tax deduction are development
investments, which by definition are not included in the impairment test in the model of value in use. As a result, the
amendments to the Act on the minerals extraction tax do not constitute an indication to change the recoverable amount of the
Company's assets.
The Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. assessed the assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2023 for impairment
testing of the Polish production assets (mining and metallurgical assets), including mainly macroeconomic assumptions,
medium- and long-term production plans and the level of operating costs as well as planned capital expenditures. No indications
were identified suggesting the necessity of revision of previously-adopted key assumptions.
Taking into account the significant uncertainty and dynamic changes in the environment, which make it difficult to draw
conclusions about long-term trends, in the opinion of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., there were no indications of the risk of
impairment of the Polish production assets, nor of indications of the possibility of reversing the impairment losses already made.
As a result, no impairment tests were carried out for these assets as at 31 December 2025.
Due to the continuing uncertainty and significant volatility of key macroeconomic parameters, in particular metal prices and
exchange rates, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. will continue to monitor global economic conditions on an ongoing basis in terms of
stabilisation or non-stabilisation of the indicated trends. If the persistence of the observed changes is confirmed, the Company
will assess their impact on the recoverable amount of the assets, pursuant to the principles described in IAS 36.
Impairment testing of shares in FUTURE 1 Sp. z o.o.
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is involved in Future 1 Sp. z o.o. in the form of:
loans granted in the amount of PLN 3 720 million, and
shares measured at cost less impairment losses, which as at 31 December 2025 before the recognition of results of
impairment testing amounted to PLN 4 175 million (comprised of PLN 4 770 million value at cost, PLN 599 million
the amount of the impairment loss, and PLN 4 million the amount of discount on receivables due to returnable
payments to capital).
Information on loans granted are presented in Note 6.2.
As at 31 December 2025, due to the occurrence of indications of changes in the recoverable amount of shares in the company
Future 1 Sp. z o.o., a test for impairment of these shares was conducted. Future 1 Sp. z o.o. is a holding company, through which
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. holds shares in KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. (whose main assets are the Victoria project in the pre-
operational phase, the Robinson mine and the Carlota mine) and in the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M., and provides financing
to the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group and Sierra Gorda S.C.M.
The key indications to perform impairment testing were:
a change in the recoverable amount of individual assets of KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. an indication in the form of
significantly higher price assumptions indicating that the recoverable amount may be higher than the carrying
amount,
the restructuring of loan streams modifying cash flows allocated to Future 1 Sp. z o.o. an indication that the
recoverable amount may be higher than the carrying amount,
In order to estimate the recoverable amount, in the conducted test the fair value of the CGU was calculated using an income-
based approach, i.e. the method of discounted cash flows. The same method was used in previous years. Cash flows were
discounted using the weighted average cost of capital at the level of 10.98%.
The fair value measurement was classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Basic macroeconomic assumptions adopted for cash flow estimation metal prices
The Company adopted price paths on the basis of internal macroeconomic assumptions developed based on available long-term
forecasts from financial and analytical institutions. A detailed forecast was prepared for the period 2026-2030, while for the
period 2031-2035 a technical adjustment of prices was applied between the last year of the detailed forecast and 2036, for which
a long-term metal price forecast was assumed at the following level:
for copper 9 250 USD/t (4.20 USD/lb),
for nickel 18 739 USD/t (8.50 USD/lb),
for gold 2 500 USD/oz.

With regard to the sensitivity analysis of the recoverable amount of the shares in Future 1 Sp. z o.o., it was determined that
potentially possible changes to the key assumptions adopted for the tests as at 31 December 2025 (in the table above) would not
have an impact on the result of the test (the amount of the reversal of the impairment loss), as the Enterprise value of KGHM
INTERNATIONAL LTD.'s investment (enterprise value) adjusted for liabilities towards KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. due to the loans
granted significantly exceeds the value of the shares in Future 1 Sp. z o.o. after the maximum reversal of the impairment loss
made in previous years.
Impairment testing of shares of PMT Linie Kolejowe Sp. z o.o.
As at 31 December 2025, due to the occurrence of indications of a possible change in the recoverable amount, impairment
testing was performed of the capital involvement in the shares of the company PMT Linie Kolejowe Sp. z o.o. The key indication
to perform the impairment test was the significant decrease in the Company's forecasted future economic results.
The carrying amount of shares of PMT Linie Kolejowe Sp. z o.o. as at 31 December 2025 amounted to PLN 247 million.
In order to estimate the recoverable amount, in the conducted test the value in use of shares was measured using the income-
based approach, i.e. the method of discounted cash flows.

Note 3.2 Impairment losses on assets as at 31 December 2024
Assessment of the risk of impairment of assets of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in the context of the market capitalisation
of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
In 2024, the share price of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. remained under pressure of continued uncertainty as to the development
of the global macroeconomic situation. As a result, the share price of the Company fell in 2024 by 6.3% as compared to the share
price at the end of 2023, and as at 30 December 2024 it amounted to PLN 115 (the average share price in 2024 amounted to
PLN 133.58). At the same time the WIG 20 index fell by 6.4%, while the WIG index increased by 1.4%. As a result, the market
capitalisation of the Company fell from PLN 24 540 million to PLN 23 000 million, which means that as at 31 December 2024 it
remained 23.3% below the level of the Company’s net assets. However, it should be noted that the average ratio between the
market capitalisation and net assets throughout 2024 amounted to 91%.
As at 20 March 2025, the Company’s share price amounted to PLN 138.20, which is an increase by 20.2% as compared to the
price as at 30 December 2024 (the average share price in the period from the end of the financial year to 20 March 2025 amounts
to PLN 129.48).
An analysis in the area of Polish assets indicated that not all the factors which affect the level of market capitalisation of KGHM
Polska Miedź S.A. are the factors related to the business activities.
From the point of view of the Company’s operations, the key factor influencing the level of market capitalisation is the copper
price. It continued to be in a sideways trend from the beginning of 2024 to the turn of the first and second quarter and did not
deviate significantly from the level of 8 500 USD/t. In April, the weakening of USD and accumulation of information on limitation
of expected supply and increase of metal deficit on the copper market sparked a new hope among investors as to the increase
in copper price, and in May its price rose to the average level of 10 129 USD/t. In the following months of 2024, the investors’
optimism did not last when confronted with arguments coming from the fundamentals of the copper market. Finally, the average
price of copper in 2024 amounted to 9 147 USD/t, which is a level higher than prices noted in 2023 (average of 8 478 USD/t).
It should be pointed out 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 are usually to a large extent offset by changes in the
USD/PLN exchange rate. The average USD/PLN exchange rate in 2024 amounted to PLN 3.98, which is at a lower level than the
exchange rate noted in 2023 (average of PLN 4.20).
Finally, the average copper price in 2024 in PLN amounted to 36 403 PLN/t, which was 2% higher than the prices observed in
2023 (an average of 35 632 PLN/t).
In the current period, there were no significant changes in the level of market interest rates. From the beginning of 2024 we may
observe a stabilisation in WIBOR 1M, WIBOR 3M and WIBOR 6M at around 5.85%. The yield of 10-year bonds stabilised around
the level of the NBP’s reference rate.
The Management Board of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. assessed the adequacy of assumptions adopted as at 31 December 2023
for impairment testing of Polish production assets (mining and metallurgical assets), including mainly macroeconomic
assumptions, medium- and long-term production plans and the level of operating costs as well as planned capital expenditures.
No indications were identified suggesting the necessity of revision of previously adopted key assumptions.
PART 3 Impairment of assets
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version

KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. maintains full operational capacity and consistently advances planned production, sales and investment
budget targets. The financial results achieved by the Company exceed the budget targets, which is also a result of conducted
optimisation initiatives and cost discipline applied in response to macroeconomic conditions.
The Company continued actions aimed at making the subsequent parts of the copper deposit available and at construction of
the mining infrastructure. Current, long-term production plans are up to 2055 and in the current period no indications were
identified that could negatively impact the future availability of deposits. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. continues exploration work
on the basis of its concessions and concession proceedings aimed at ensuring the resource base appropriate for operating
activities and prolonging mine life.
In the context of risks and hazards associated with climate, in the current period, no material impact on the activities of KGHM
Polska Miedź S.A. was identified. Detailed information is presented in Note 1.2.3 Monitored areas risks and hazards associated
with the climate.
The Company is discussing changes, with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of State Assets, to the formula for the so-
called copper tax. At the present stage of advancement of discussions, the potential scope and term of legislative changes are
not possible to set, likewise the assessment of the impact of legislative changes on the Company’s cash flows.
As a result of the assessment made, no connection was identified between the decrease in the share price of KGHM Polska
Miedź S.A. and the Company’s activities in Poland. Consequently, there were no indications identified suggesting the risk of
impairment of the Polish production assets nor of indications suggesting the possibility of reversing the impairment losses which
were already made, and therefore there was no impairment testing of these assets as at 31 December 2024.
Impairment testing of shares in FUTURE 1 Sp. z o.o.
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is involved in Future 1 Sp. z o.o. in the form of:
loans granted in the amount of PLN 4 572 million, and
shares measured at cost less impairment losses, which as at 31 December 2024 before the recognition of results of
impairment testing amounted to PLN 2 852 million (comprised of PLN 4 770 million value at cost, PLN 1 921 million
the amount of the impairment loss and PLN 3 million the amount of the discount on receivables due to returnable
payments to capital).
Information on loans granted are presented in Note 6.2.
As at 31 December 2024, due to the occurrence of indications of changes in the recoverable amount of shares in the company
Future 1 Sp. z o.o., a test for impairment of these shares was conducted. Future 1 Sp. z o.o. is a holding company, through which
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. holds shares in KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. (whose main assets are the Victoria project (in the pre-
operational phase), the Robinson mine and the Carlota mine) and in the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M., and provides financing
to the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group and Sierra Gorda S.C.M.
The key indications to perform impairment testing were:
changes in the scenario analysis of loans granted to the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M. as a result of annexing
agreements on loans granted to Sierra Gorda S.C.M. an indication that the recoverable amount may be higher than
the carrying amount,
annexes to loan agreements for other debt streams, in particular no capitalisation of interest on debt streams which
finance Sierra Gorda S.C.M. an indication that the recoverable amount may be higher than the carrying amount,
an update of assumptions and production plans of the Victoria Project (in the pre-operational phase), in particular
indications that:
o the recoverable amount may be higher than the carrying amount:
changes to the economic assumptions of the model;
o the recoverable amount may be lower than the carrying amount:
changes to the technical assumptions of the model,
update of the mine construction schedule,
update of capital expenditures.
In order to estimate the recoverable amount, in the conducted test the fair value of the CGU was calculated using an income-
based approach, i.e. the method of discounted cash flows. The same method was used in previous years. Cash flows were
discounted using the weighted average cost of capital at the level of 11.52%.
The fair value measurement was classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Basic macroeconomic assumptions adopted for cash flow estimation metal prices
The Company adopted price paths on the basis of internal macroeconomic assumptions developed based on available long-term
forecasts from financial and analytical institutions. A detailed forecast was prepared for the period 2025-2029, while for the
period 2030-2034 a technical adjustment of prices was applied between the last year of the detailed forecast and 2035, from
which a long-term metal price forecast was assumed at the following level:

for copper 8 800 USD/t (3.99 USD/lb),
for gold 1 900 USD/oz,
for nickel 18 739 USD/t (8.50 USD/lb).
In the detailed forecast period for the period 2025-2029 the following levels of metal prices were assumed:
for copper from 9 500 USD/t to 10 000 USD/t,
for gold from 1 800 USD/oz to 2 600 USD/oz,
for nickel from 17 086 USD/t (7.75 USD/lb) to 18 739 USD/t (8.50 USD/lb).

The carrying amount of shares of POL-MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o. as at 31 December 2024 amounted to PLN 120 million.
In order to estimate the recoverable amount, in the conducted test the value in use of shares was measured using the income-
based approach, i.e. the method of discounted cash flows.

As a result of the impairment testing of the shares of POL–MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o., the recoverable amount of the tested shares
was determined to be lower than the carrying amount of this asset, which provided a basis for the recognition of an impairment
loss in the amount of PLN 90 million.
The valuation of shares of POL–MIEDŹ TRANS Sp. z o.o. indicated a significant sensitivity to the adopted levels of discount rates
and operating margin. The impact of changes to these parameters on the valuation of shares is presented in the following table.

Impairment testing of shares of companies INVEST PV 7 sp. z o.o., INVEST PV 40 sp. z o.o., INVEST PV 58 sp. z o.o. and
INVEST PV 59 sp. z o.o.
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. is involved in INVEST PV 7 sp. z o.o., INVEST PV 40 sp. z o.o., INVEST PV 58 sp. z o.o. and INVEST PV 59
sp. z o.o. in the form of:
loans granted in the amount of PLN 141 million, and
shares measured at purchase price, which as at 31 December 2024, before the recognition of the results of the test
for impairment, amounted to PLN 39 million.
Information on loans granted are presented in note 6.2.
As at 31 December 2024, due to the occurrence of indications of changes in the recoverable amount of shares of the following
companies: INVEST PV 7 sp. z o.o., INVEST PV 40 sp. z o.o., INVEST PV 58 sp. z o.o. and INVEST PV 59 sp. z o.o., involved in the
generation and sale of electricity from photovoltaic installations, tests for impairment of capital involvement in the shares of
these companies have been conducted.
The key indications that the value of shares of the above-mentioned companies may be lower than their carrying amount were
the following:
the continued unfavourable prices on the electricity market,
the decisions made on non-market redistribution, i.e. orders issued by the operators of the power system on
reduction of energy generation in order to ensure the stability of the National Grid System.
The carrying amount of shares in individual companies as at 31 December 2024 was as follows:
- INVEST PV 7 sp. z o.o. PLN 8 million,
- INVEST PV 40 sp. z o.o. PLN 16 million,
- INVEST PV 58 sp. z o.o. PLN 7 million,
- INVEST PV 59 sp. z o.o. PLN 8 million.
In order to estimate the recoverable amount in the conducted tests, the value in use of shares was calculated using an income-
based approach, i.e. the method of discounted cash flows.

Impairment testing of shares of ZAGŁĘBIE LUBIN S.A.
As at 31 December 2024, due to the occurrence of indications of changes in the recoverable amount of investment in shares
of Zagłębie Lubin S.A. (with a carrying amount of PLN 138 million), a test for impairment of this asset was performed.
The key indications of a change in the recoverable amount of the asset included:
financial results worse than forecasted,
value of net assets of Zagłębie Lubin S.A. lower than the value of investment in the statement of financial position of
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
In order to estimate the recoverable amount, in the conducted test the fair value of the company Zagłębie Lubin S.A. was
estimated.
Basic assumptions adopted for impairment testing
The fair value of the investment was estimated using the asset-based approach, i.e. the adjusted net assets method
(a measurement classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy). The key assumptions adopted for the measurement:
revenues generated by the company from sponsoring at market values and revenues from the sale of tickets and
passes,
during the detailed forecast period, there are no planned capital expenditures on the stadium,

the value of rights to player cards and to the team were set on the basis of market values of football players
published on the transfer website www.transfermarkt.de, which is recognised as one of the best sources of
information on the market value of players and is widely used by the European and international clubs as well as
football federations,
the period of detailed forecast of cash flows was adopted on the basis of the 5-year financial plan of Zagłębie Lubin
S.A., taking into account the residual value,
the growth rate following the period of detailed forecast was adopted at the conservative level of 0.0%,
the WACC real discount rate was adopted at the level of 5.63%.
As a result of the conducted impairment testing of shares in Zagłębie Lubin S.A., the recoverable amount in the investment was
estimated to be lower than the carrying amount and therefore there was justification to recognise an impairment loss in the
amount indicated in the table below.

Impairment testing of shares of PeBeKa S.A.
As at 31 December 2024, an analysis was performed in terms of the existence of indications of the possibility of impairment
of PeBeKa S.A. shares. The following CGUs comprising the business activity of the company PeBeKa S.A. were subjected to
analysis:
1. Product 1 Horizontal works (mining, drift, construction, underground drilling),
2. Product 2 Vertical works (shaft and assembly),
3. Product 3 Construction, engineering and tunnelling works,
4. Product 4 Surface drilling works,
5. Product 5 Other business activities (property maintenance, sale of materials).
As a result of the analysis, a decrease in profitability and a loss on the sale of Product 1 were identified as indications of
possible impairment of shares of PeBeKa S.A.
In order to estimate the recoverable amount of shares, in the conducted test the fair value of the company PeBeKa S.A. was
estimated.
Basic assumptions adopted for impairment testing
The fair value of the investment was estimated using the asset-based approach, i.e. the adjusted net assets method. The key
assumptions adopted for the measurement of buildings and perpetual usufruct rights to land excluding investment properties
the fair value was determined using measurement methods consistent with the market approach (comparative), based on
transactions on the local market of similar properties, the selling costs were assumed at the level of 2.5% of estimated market
value of assets.
The fair value was classified to level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
As a result of the conducted tests, it was estimated that the recoverable amount of shares of PeBeKa S.A. is at the level of
PLN 214 million which is higher than the carrying amount of these assets (the carrying amount of PLN 84 million), and therefore
was not a basis to recognise an impairment loss.

Note 5.1.1 Deferred income tax
Accounting policies
Deferred 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 assets are recognised if it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences
and unused tax losses can be utilised.
In accordance with the requirements of IAS 12 paragraph 88A, the Company has applied the exception as regards the
nonrecognition of deferred tax to the extent resulting from pillar 2 of the BEPS project, and therefore does not recognise deferred
tax assets and liabilities related to BEPS income taxes and does not disclose information on these assets and liabilities.

Important estimates, assumptions and judgments
The Company determined the deferred income tax for the current and comparative reporting period using the tax rate of 19%.
The assessment of probability that deferred tax assets will be realised with future tax income is based on the Company’s budget.
The Company recognises deferred tax assets in its books to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

Pursuant to the wording of the Act of 2 March 2012 on the minerals extraction tax, the amount of tax depends on the amount of
copper and silver in concentrate as well as the tax rates. Tax rates are set separately for copper and silver on the basis of formulas
specified in the Act and depend on average prices of these metals (stock quotations from LME/LBMA) as well as the USD exchange
rate.
On 1 January 2026, the Act of 21 November 2025 amending the act on the minerals extraction tax and certain other acts entered
into force, introducing a reduction in the coefficients in the tax rate calculation formulas for 2026-2028 and a mechanism for
deducting part of capital expenditures from the tax (from 2029). For details, see Note 3.1 of this report.

Tax authorities may audit accounting books and tax settlements during the 5 years from the end of the year in which the tax
declarations were submitted and charge the Company with an additional tax together with penalties and interest. In the
Management Board’s opinion, there are no circumstances indicating the possibility that significant tax liabilities may occur.

PART 6 Investments in subsidiaries
Note 6.1 Shares
Accounting policies
In the financial statements of the Company, subsidiaries are those entities which are directly controlled by the Company.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost plus any granted non-returnable increases in share capital, including for the
coverage of losses presented in the financial statements of a subsidiary and as a result of discounting interest-free returnable
payments and less any impairment losses. Pursuant to IAS 36, impairment is measured by comparing the carrying amount with
the higher of the following amounts:
fair value, decreased by costs to sell; and
value in use.
The Company controls an entity if it simultaneously:
has power over the entity it invested in;
is exposed to variable returns or has rights to them; and
can use its power over the entity to affect the amount of its returns.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgments
In the Company’s opinion, power over individual entities recognised as subsidiaries is exercised through ownership of the
majority of the total number of votes in the governing bodies of such entities.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgments related to the assessment of the risk of impairment were presented in part 3
of these financial statements.

Note 6.2 Receivables due to loans granted
Accounting policies
The Company classifies loans granted to individual categories using the following policies:
Loans measured at amortised cost –– the Company classifies to this category loans that met two conditions: they are in a business
model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows due to holding assets, and have passed the SPPI (solely payments of
principal and interest) test, that is they are maintained in order to receive the principal amount and interest. They are initially
recognised at fair value adjusted by costs directly associated with the loan and are measured at the end of the reporting period
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, including impairment calculated using the model of expected credit
losses on the basis of discounted cash flows.
POCI loans the Company classifies as POCI, at the moment of initial recognition, financial assets that are credit-impaired due
to high credit risk at the moment they are granted or if the loans were purchased at a significant discount. POCI loans are
measured at the end of the reporting period at amortised cost using the effective interest rate adjusted by the credit risk,
including impairment calculated using the model of expected credit losses (ECL) on the basis of discounted cash flows in the
horizon of the expected repayment of the loan. The loss allowance for ECL is calculated on the basis of expected credit losses

during the whole life of the instrument. Accumulated changes to the expected credit losses are recognised as an increase or a
reversal of an already recognised loss allowance for expected credit losses. Currently presented POCI loans are loans granted
(not acquired). Classification was set due to the implementation of IFRS 9 in 2018 due to the recognised impairment at the
moment of initial recognition.
Loans measured at fair value through profit or loss the Company classifies to this category loans that did not pass the SPPI
(solely payments of principal and interest) test. The fair value of these loans is set at the present value of future cash flows,
including the change of market risk and credit risk factors during the loans’ life.
Financial assets for which the Company has to calculate the expected credit losses pursuant to IFRS 9 are classified to one of
three degrees of the impairment model. Classification to individual degrees of the impairment model is at the level of a single
financial instrument (a single exposure).
Degree 3 includes balances with an identified objective indication of impairment.
The Company classifies to degree 2 financial instruments with an identified significant increase in credit risk, understood as a
significant increase in probable default in the remaining time of the instrument as compared to the date of its initial recognition,
but there were no objective indicators of impairment. The expected credit losses for degree 2 are estimated during the entire life
of these instruments.
If at the end of the reporting period the analysis proves that for a given financial instrument, since the day of its initial recognition,
there was not a significant increase in credit risk and no default status was granted, the instrument is classified to degree 1 of
the impairment model. For exposures classified to degree 1, the expected credit losses are estimated in a horizon of 12 months.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgments
Failed SPPI test - The Company assumes that the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) test for loans granted is not
passed if, among others, in the structure of financing the target recipient of funds, debt is changed at the last stage into an equity
investment.
Indications to classify the loan to degree 2 of impairment model is the occurrence of one of the following:
for exposition of the borrower’s rating at the level of Baa3 (per Moody’s methodology or a corresponding one for the
S&P/Fitch ratings) or better (investment rating) a drop in the borrower’s rating by at least 5 levels,
for exposition of the borrower’s rating at the level of Ba1 (per Moody’s methodology or a corresponding one for the
S&P/Fitch ratings) or worse (below investment rating) a drop in the borrower’s rating by at least 3 levels,
deterioration of operational cash flows forecasts of a borrower in the time horizon of the exposure, which does not result
in the impossibility of settling the liability arising from a given loan,
change in conditions of the loan due to the worsening financial position of the borrower, which has an impact of less than
1% of the value of the loan at the date of change (a change in the conditions of the loan from reasons other than the
worsening financial position of the borrower are not included in the assessment of occurrence of a given indication),
delay in the repayment of over 30 days (after the maturity date of interest or capital).
Balances with an identified, objective indication of impairment are included in degree 3. The Company recognises the occurrence
of at least one of the following events as an objective indication of default:
borrower’s rating at the level of Ca (per Moody’s methodology or a corresponding one for S&P/Fitch ratings) or lower,
deterioration of operational cash flows forecasts of a borrower in the time horizon of the exposure, which results in the
impossibility of settling the liability arising from a given loan,
change in conditions of the loan due to the worsening financial position of the borrower, which has an impact of more
than 1% of the value of the loan at the date of change (a change in the conditions of the loan from reasons other than the
worsening financial position of the borrower are not included in the assessment of occurrence of a given indication),
delay in the repayment of over 30 days (after the maturity date of interest or capital) if at the date of analysis the loan
was at stage 2 of calculating the allowance for impairment,
delay in the repayment of over 90 days (after the maturity date of interest or capital) if at the date of analysis the loan
was at stage 1 of calculating the allowance for impairment.
The Company reclassifies a loan to an earlier stage only if all of the following conditions are met:
indications that resulted in the classification of a loan to a given stage no longer occur,
no indications occur (to classify to a given or worse stage) for the period of at least 12 months from the moment it was
determined that no indications occur that are mentioned in the point above.
In order to calculate expected credit losses (ECL), the Company uses, among others, the following parameters:
the borrower’s rating - granted using internal methodology of the Company based on Moody’s methodology. The Company
granted loans mainly to subsidiaries, of which over 99% of borrowers were assigned ratings between Baa2 Ba1 (in the
comparable period: Baa2 Ba1).
PART 6 Investments in subsidiaries

the curve of accumulated parameters of PD (parameter of probability of default, used to calculate the expected credit
losses) for a given borrower is set on the basis of market sector quotations of Credit Default Swap contracts from the
Reuters system, which quantify the market expectations as for the probability of default in a given sector and in a given
rating. As at 31 December 2025, PD parameters for the adopted ratings were as follows:
Baa2 Ba1 ratings according to Moody’s (31 December 2025)
Up to one year
0.54%
1-3 years
2.91%
More than 3 years (at the date of
loans’ maturity)
11.87%
Baa2 Ba1 ratings according to Moody’s (31 December 2024)
Up to one year
0.83% - 1.05%
1-3 years
4.32% - 5.86%
More than 3 years (at the date of loans’
maturity)
17.97% - 39.36%
The level of the LGD parameter (loss given default, expressed as the percentage of the amount outstanding) for the purposes of
estimating expected credit losses for loans classified to the stage 1 and 2 is adopted at the level of 75% (based on estimations
from Moody’s Default and recovery rates for project finance bank loans, 1983-2021).
As at 31 December 2025 no decision was made whether to demand the repayment of loans with a contractual on-demand
payment clause, including in the period of 12 months from the balance sheet date, and no joint decision was made by the owners
of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. in this regard.
The Company classifies loans granted to one of the three following categories:
1. Measured at amortised cost, which were determined to be credit-impaired at the moment of initial recognition (POCI),
2. Measured at amortised cost, which were not determined to be credit-impaired at the moment of initial recognition,
3. Measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Loans that at the last stage of cash flows between companies in the Future 1 Sp. z o.o. holding structure or KGHM INTERNATIONAL
LTD. were transferred as loans to a joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M., advanced by the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group, were
classified as POCI loans (identified allowance for impairment due to a credit risk at the moment of granting). These loans, pursuant
to the terms of the annexes from December 2024, are paid on demand, but not later than on 31 December 2032. The original
maturity was on 15 December 2024.
The Company presents, in the category of loans classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss, loans that at the last
stage of cash flows between companies in the Future 1 Sp. z o.o. holding structure or KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. were transferred
mainly as increases in share capital of Sierra Gorda S.C.M.
The fair value of the loans (mainly intended to finance the joint venture Sierra Gorda S.C.M.) classified into level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy (including the fair value of loans measured at fair value in the financial statements and the fair value of loans estimated
for disclosure purposes and measured at amortised cost in the financial statements) has been estimated on the basis of the cash
flows generated by Sierra Gorda S.C.M. and other significant international operating assets, which were then allocated to individual
loans at different levels of the existing financing structure. The estimate of cash flows generated by Sierra Gorda S.C.M. and other
mines was determined on the basis of current forecasts of pricing paths of commodities and current mining plans.
The expected repayments of loans were discounted using:
the effective interest rate adjusted by the credit risk, determined at the initial recognition of the loan pursuant to IFRS
9.B5.5.45 at the level of 3.84% - 7.27% - for loans measured at amortised cost,
the market interest rate at the level of 6.86% - 8.38% - for loans measured at fair value.
In the period from 1 January to 31 December 2025, the following was recognised:
gains on reversal of expected credit losses on loans classified as POCI in the amount of PLN 69 million (USD 18 million
converted at exchange rates from the dates of recognition of gains in the books) and gains on unrecognised credit loss in the
amount of PLN 17 million (USD 4.8 million),
for loans measured at fair value an estimated total increase in fair value by the amount of PLN 180 million, which were
recognised in:
o other operating income - an increase by PLN 214 million,
o other operating costs - a decrease by PLN 34 million,
in the case of other loans measured at amortised cost, the Company calculated the allowance for impairment on the basis of
the model of expected credit losses and recognised a gain due to the reversal of allowance for impairment in the amount of
PLN 76 million.

Fair value measurement
Accounting policies
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.
Transfer between levels of the fair value hierarchy takes place if there is a change of sources of input data used for fair value
measurement, such as:
active market,
lack of an active market, but there is observable data on the market,
subjective input data.
It is acknowledged that transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy take place at the end of the reporting period.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgements
Fair value measurement is not a specific measurement for a given unit, but should be a market-based evaluation, including any
assumptions which market participants would consider in the process of measurement. In case of limited availability of inputs,
carrying out a fair value measurement requires selecting appropriate measurement techniques, under which a unit should make
maximum use of observable data. In the case of the Company’s assets, this applies in particular to derivatives. The assumptions
and estimates applied in their measurement are presented in Note 7.1.
To determine fair value, the adoption of specified assumptions and judgments is especially required for assets whose fair value
measurement cannot be made based on inputs arising from an active market or from the use of other data, regardless of how
amenable they are to objective and measurable observation.
Details on assumptions adopted for fair value measurement may be found in the further part of Note 7.1 Methods and
techniques used in determining fair value.

56
Methods and measurement techniques used by the Company 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 (bonds issued by the Company) are measured based on quotations from the Catalyst Market of the
Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Level 2
Long-term loans granted
The fair value of loans measured at amortised cost 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. IBOR current market interest rate was used in the
discounting process.
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 LSEG Workspace platform.
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 the impact of time lapse.
Other financial assets/liabilities
The fair value of receivables/payables due to the settlement of derivatives, whose date of payment falls two working days after the
end of the reporting period was set per the reference price applied in the settlement of these transactions.
Currency and currency-interest derivatives
To determine the fair value of derivatives transactions on the currency market and currency-interest transactions (CIRS), the
forward prices from the maturity dates of individual transactions were used. 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 the LSEG Workspace platform. The standard Garman-Kohlhagen model is used to measure options on
currency markets.
Metals derivatives
To determine the fair value of derivatives transactions on the commodity market, forward prices from the maturity dates of
individual transactions were used. In the case of copper, official closing prices from the London Metal Exchange were applied, and
with respect to silver and gold the settlement prices of futures contracts from the COMEX exchange. Volatility ratios and forward
prices for measurement of derivatives at the end of the reporting period were obtained from the LSEG Workspace platform. Levy
approximation to the Black-Scholes model was used for Asian options pricing on metals markets.
Energy resources derivatives
To determine the fair value of derivatives transactions on the natural gas market, forward prices from the maturity dates of
individual transactions were used. Official prices of Endex ICE TTF futures, and volatility ratios at the balance-sheet date were
obtained from the LSEG Workspace platform. Levy approximation to the Black-Scholes model was used for Asian options pricing
on natural gas market.
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.
PART 7 Financial instruments and financial risk management
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
57
Level 3
Long-term loans granted
The fair value of loans was estimated using the forecasted cash flows of international assets (Sierra Gorda S.C.M.), which pursuant
to IFRS 13 are unobservable input data, and the fair value of assets determined using the same data is classified to level 3 of the
fair value hierarchy.
Detailed disclosures on the assumptions adopted for the measurement of loans were presented in Note 6.2, while the information
on the sensitivity of the fair value classified to level 3 of the hierarchy for loans granted may be found in Note 7.5.2.5.
The Company 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 7.29.
There was no transfer in the Company of financial instruments between levels of the fair value hierarchy in the reporting period.
Note 7.2 Derivatives
Accounting policies
Derivatives are classified as financial assets/liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, 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.
The Company applies hedge accounting for cash flows according to the requirements of IFRS 9. Hedge accounting aims at
reducing volatility in the Company’s net result, arising from periodic changes in the measurement of transactions hedging
individual types of market risk to which the Company is exposed. Hedging instruments may be derivatives as well as bank and
other loans in foreign currencies.
The designated hedges mostly 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 Company 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 Company 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
Company 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.
In addition, as a cost of hedging, the Company recognises in other reserves from measurement of financial instruments a part
of the change of the hedging instrument arising from changes in the time value of the option, the forward element and currency
margin. The Company recognises changes in the time value until the hedged item is realised in other comprehensive income
and reclassifies it to profit or loss on a one-off basis when the hedged item is realised.
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.
The Company ceases to account for derivatives as hedging instruments when they expire, are sold, terminated or settled, or
when the goal of risk management for a given relation has changed.
The Company 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 an underlying instrument, which is not a financial asset, the derivative is separated from the underlying
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 underlying instrument is
measured pursuant to appropriate accounting principles. The Company separates embedded derivatives in commodities

58
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 an underlying instrument, which is a financial asset, the criteria for classification of financial assets are
applied to the whole contract.
Important estimates and assumptions
Assumptions and estimates adopted for the measurement of fair value of derivatives were presented in Note 7.1, in the item
„Methods and measurement techniques used by the Company in determining fair values of each class of financial assets or
financial liabilities” and in tables in point 7.2. of this part.

Derivatives open items as at the end of the reporting period
In the process of market risk management, the Company implements, among others, seagull strategies. Within these structures, it applies cash flow hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS 9 and
it designates for hedge accounting (CFH Cash Flow Hedge) only purchased put options and sold call options (collar structures). However, the Company treats the sold put options financing these
strategies as trade instruments. Therefore, the impact of the valuation of open hedging derivatives, as shown in the table below for seagull option structures, applies to the collar structures designated
as hedging.

The Company reclassifies the amounts corresponding to the effective portion of hedging of the copper and silver sales price and
the USD/PLN exchange rate to revenues from contracts with customers.
The Company recognises due to reclassification the settled hedging cost (mainly time value of options hedging the revenues from
sales), changes in fair value of trade and embedded derivatives, and also settlements of trade derivatives to other operating income
/ (costs).
The Company reclassifies the settlement of interest payments of the hedging instrument CIRS in the interest part to the finance
income / (costs).

Note 7.3 Other financial instruments measured at fair value
Accounting policies
The item “Other financial instruments measured at fair value” 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 financial result due to the measurement.
These assets 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 listed shares is calculated based on the closing price as at the end of the reporting period.
The translations of shares expressed in a foreign currency are performed according to the accounting policies described in Note
1.5.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgments
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 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 fixed-term deposits in financial institutions, and the risk-free
discount rate published by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority).

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

In 2025 as well as in 2024, there were no dividends from companies in which the Company had shares classified as other financial
instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
In 2025 as well as in 2024, there were no transfers of accumulated gain or loss within equity in respect of companies in which the
Company holds shares classified as other financial instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Due to investments in listed companies, the Company 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 the accumulated amount recognised in equity.

Sensitivity analysis for significant types of market risk to which the Company is exposed presents the estimated impact of potential
changes in individual risk factors (at the end of reporting period) on 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 at the end of the reporting period.
Note 7.4 Other long-term financial instruments measured at amortised cost
Accounting policies
The item other long-term financial instruments measured at amortised cost includes financial assets (mainly cash and cash
equivalents which were included in non-current assets because of the restrictions on their use for at least 12 months from the
end of the reporting period), designated to cover the costs of decommissioning mines (accounting policies with respect to the
obligation to decommission mines 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.

Note 7.5 Financial risk management
In the course of its business activities the Company is exposed to the following main financial risks:
market risks:
o commodity risk,
o risk of changes in foreign exchange rates,
o risk of changes in interest rates,
o risk of changes in other merchandise, including energy and energy resources,
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 Company’s Management Board manages identified financial risk factors in a conscious and responsible manner, using the
Market Risk Management Policy, the Financial Liquidity Management Policy and the Credit Risk Management Policy adopted by the
Company. Understanding the threats arising from the Company's exposure to risk and maintaining an appropriate organisational
structure and applied procedures enable an effective achievement of tasks. The Company identifies and measures financial risk on
an ongoing basis, and also takes actions aimed at minimising its impact on the financial position of the Company.
The process of financial risk management in the Company is supported by the work of the Market Risk Committee, the Energy
Committee, the Financial Liquidity Committee and the Credit Risk Committee.
Note 7.5.1 Market risk
The market risk to which the Company is exposed to is understood as the possible occurrence of negative impact on the Company's
results arising from changes in the market prices of commodities, exchange rates and interest rates, as well as the share prices of
listed companies.
Note 7.5.1.1 Principles and techniques of market risk management
The Company actively manages the market risk to which it is exposed.
In accordance with the adopted policy, the goals of the market risk management process are as follows:
decrease the probability of losing financial liquidity;
increase the probability of meeting budget targets;
maintain the good financial condition of the Company;
limit the negative impact of volatility in prices of market factors on cash flows and financial results of the Company;
support the process of strategic decision making related to investment activities, including financing sources of
investments.
All objectives of market risk management are considered by the Company as a whole, and the manner of their realisation is
determined mainly by the appetite for risk, the Company’s internal situation and market conditions. Actions and decisions
concerning market risk management in the Company should be analysed in the context of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group’s
global exposure to market risk.
Taking into account the potential scope of their impact on the Company’s results, market risk factors were divided into two groups.
Group
Market risk
Approach to risk management
Note 7.2
Group I factors with
the greatest impact on
the Company’s total
exposure to market risk
Copper price
A strategic approach is applied to this group, aimed at
systematically building up a portfolio of instruments
mitigating the market risk identified in the area of costs and
revenues from sales while taking into account the long-term
cyclical nature of various markets. A portfolio of open
instruments may be restructured before it expires.
Note 7.2

merchandise
This group is comprised of less significant risks, therefore it
is tactically managed - on an ad-hoc basis, depending on the
market conditions.
Note 7.2
Other exchange rates
Note 7.2
Interest rates
The Company manages market risk by applying various approaches to particular, identified exposure groups.
The Company considers the following factors when selecting hedging strategies or restructuring hedging positions: current and
forecasted market conditions, the internal situation of the Company, the effective level and cost of hedging, and the impact of the
minerals extraction tax.
The Company 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.
The Company executes derivative transactions only if it has the ability to assess their value 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 evaluating the market value of given instruments, the
Company uses information obtained from leading information services, banks, and brokers.
PART 7 Financial instruments and financial risk management
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
64
The Company's internal policy, which regulates market risk management principles, permits the use of the following types of
derivatives:
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). Primarily 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 Company
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 Company aims to ensure a maximal
match between these parameters to minimise the sources of ineffectiveness.
The Company quantifies its market risk exposure using a consistent and comprehensive measure. Market risk management 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 of the Company to market risk.
One of the measures used as an auxiliary tool in making decisions in the market risk management process 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 90%
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.
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, the Company has set limits with respect to commitment
in derivatives:
with respect to instruments representing the rights of the Company - up to 85% of planned, monthly sales volumes of
copper, silver and gold from own concentrates, and up to 85% of planned, monthly revenues from the sale of products
from own concentrates in USD or of the monthly, contracted net foreign currency cash flows in case of other currencies,
with respect to instruments representing the obligations of the Company (transactions financing the hedging strategies)
- up to 50% of planned, monthly sales volumes of copper and silver from own concentrates, and up to 50% of planned,
monthly revenues from the sale of products from own concentrates in USD.
The expenses for servicing the debt denominated in USD decrease the nominal amount of exposure to hedge the planned revenues
from the sales of metals.
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 Company 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 Company.
With respect to the risk of changes in interest rates, the Company 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.
Note 7.5.1.2. Commodity risk
The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in the prices of the metals it sells: copper, silver, gold and lead. The price formulas
used in physical delivery contracts are mainly based on average monthly quotations from the London Metal Exchange for copper
and lead and from the London Bullion Market Association for silver and gold. The Company’s commercial policy is to 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 Company’s benchmark profile, in particular in terms of the reference prices and the quotation periods.

On the metals market, the Company has a so-called long position, which means it has higher sales than purchases. The analysis of
the Company’s exposure to market risk should be performed by deducting from the volume of metals sold the amount of metal in
purchased materials.
The Company’s strategic exposure to the risk of changes in the price of copper and silver in the years 2024-2025 is presented in
the table below.

The notional amount of copper price hedging strategies settled in 2025 represented approx. 9% (2% in 2024) of the total sales of
this metal realised by the Company (it represented approx. 14% of net sales
1
in 2025 and 2% in 2024).
The notional amount of silver price hedging strategies settled in 2025 represented approx. 12% of the total sales of this metal
realised by the Company (2% in 2024).
As part of the realisation of the strategic hedging plan of the Company against market risk, in 2025, transactions hedging the
planned revenues from metals sales were implemented. On the copper market, seagull option structures (Asian options) for the
period from March 2025 to December 2027 for the total tonnage of 138.33 thousand tonnes were entered into. On the silver
market, collar option structures (Asian options) for the period from July 2025 to December 2027 for the total tonnage of 16.11
million troy ounces and seagull option structures (Asian options) for the period from July 2026 to December 2028 for the total
tonnage of 11.25 million troy ounces were implemented. In accordance with hedge accounting principles, collar structures, which
are a part of the seagull strategy, were designated as hedging sales revenues.
In 2025 QP adjustment swap transactions were entered into on the copper and gold markets with maturities of up to June 2026, as
part of the management of a net trading position
2
.
As a result, as at 31 December 2025, the Company held an open derivatives position for:
136.8 thousand tonnes of copper (of which 132 thousand tonnes arose from the strategic management of market risk,
while 4.8 thousand tonnes came from the management of a net trading position),
27.42 million troy ounces of silver, and
36.8 thousand troy ounces of gold (net).
As a result, as at 31 December 2024, the Company held an open derivatives position for:
53.1 thousand tonnes of copper (of which 46.5 thousand tonnes arose from the strategic management of market risk,
while 6.6 thousand tonnes came from the management of a net trading position),
5.25 million troy ounces of silver, and
16.5 thousand troy ounces of gold (net).
Condensed tables of open transactions in derivatives held by the Company on the copper and silver markets as at
31 December 2025 and as at 31 December 2024, entered into as part of the strategic management of market risk, are presented
below. The hedged notional amounts of transactions in the presented periods are allocated evenly on a monthly basis. The
purchased put options represent the hedging against the risk of changes in metals prices, the sold call options limit the participation
in prices increases, while the sold put options limit the hedge in the case of a price decrease.

Note 7.5.1.3 Risk of changes in foreign exchange rates
Regarding the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates, the following types of exposures were identified:
transaction exposure related to the volatility of cash flows in the base (functional) currency, and
exposure related to the volatility of selected items of the statement of financial position in the base (functional) currency.
The transaction exposure to currency risk derives from cash flow-generating contracts, the value of which expressed in the base
(functional) currency depend on future levels of exchange rates of the foreign currencies with respect to the base (functional)
currency (for KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. it is the Polish zloty). 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 transaction exposure to currency risk in the Company’s business operations are the proceeds from sales of
products (with respect to metals prices, processing and producer margins).
The Company’s exposure to currency risk also derives from items in the statement of financial position denominated in foreign
currencies, which under the existing accounting regulations must be translated, upon settlement or periodic valuation, 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 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 and energy resources.
As for the currency market, the notional amount of settled transactions hedging revenues from metals sales amounted to approx.
9% of the total revenues from sales of copper and silver realised by the Company in 2025 (in 2024: 19%).
In 2025, the Company did not implement any hedging transactions on the currency market. Nevertheless, on the interest rates
markets the hedging position has been restructured. Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (CIRS) transactions in the notional amount
of PLN 1.6 billion with a maturity date of 27 June 2029 hedging both the sales revenues in the currency, as well as the variable
interest rate of issued bonds have been closed. As a result of the carried out closure of CIRS transactions, the Company generated
the positive cash flow from a positive valuation of the instrument and effectively moved to the prior, variable interest rate of bonds
in PLN.
As a result, as at 31 December 2025 the Company held an open position on the currency market for the notional amount of USD
240 million (USD 960 million as at 31 December 2024).
The condensed tables of open transactions in derivatives on the currency market as at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024
are presented below (the hedged notional in the presented periods is allocated evenly on a monthly basis).

As for managing currency risk, the Company applies natural hedging by borrowing in the currency in which it has revenues. As at
31 December 2025, following their translation to PLN, the bank loans and the investment loans which were drawn in USD amounted
to PLN 2 173 million (as at 31 December 2024: PLN 2 420 million).
The currency structure of financial instruments exposed to currency risk (changes in the USD/PLN and EUR/PLN exchange rates) is
presented in the table below. An analysis for other currencies is not presented due to the immateriality.

Note 7.5.1.4 Interest rate risk
In 2025, the Company was exposed to the risk of changes in interest rates due to loans granted, investing free cash, participating
in a cash-pooling service and borrowing.
Positions with variable interest rates expose the Company 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 the profit or loss). Positions with fixed
interest rates expose the Company to the risk of fair value changes of a given position, excluding items measured at amortised
cost, for which the change in fair value does not affect their measurement and profit or loss.
In 2025 the Company restructured the hedging position. Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (CIRS) transactions in the notional
amount of PLN 1.6 billion with a maturity date of 27 June 2029, hedging both the sales revenues in the currency as well as the
variable interest rate of issued bonds, have been closed. As a result of the carried out closure of CIRS transactions, the Company
generated positive cash flow from a positive valuation of the instrument and effectively transitioned to the prior, variable interest
rate of bonds in PLN.
The main items which are exposed to interest rate risk are presented below.

In 2025 the Company used the financial instruments based on SOFR, CME TERM SOFR and EURIBOR (instruments in foreign
currencies) and WIBOR (instruments in PLN).
In December 2024, the Steering Committee of the National Working Group on the reform of reference rates, which was appointed
in connection with the reform of reference rates in Poland, chose the reference rate which will replace WIBOR. An index from the
WIRF family was chosen, based on unsecured deposits of credit and financial institutions, and on 24 January 2025 an announcement
PART 7 Financial instruments and financial risk management
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

72
was made on the selection of the target name for the proposed index POLSTR (Polish Short Term Rate). The planned changes will
come into force in 2027.
One of the key events in 2025 was the formal adoption of documentation required by the Benchmark Regulation with respect to
the proposed POLSTR index and the start of its publication. The Steering Committee of the National Working Group announced
that on 2 June 2025 the official designation of the POLSTR index commenced, and the first application of the POLSTR index took
place on 1 September 2025. Therefore, the POLSTR index gained the status of reference rate pursuant to the requirements of the
Benchmark Regulation. In 2026, indicators as to the occurrence of a regulatory event defined under article 23c sec. 1 of the
Benchmark Regulation are to be verified. The occurrence of a regulatory event may be a reason for the initiation of a regulatory
procedure leading to the issuance of a decree of the Minister of Finance, which will indicate a replacement for the key reference
rate WIBOR. This decree will also define the adjusting spread and the date from which the replacement will be applied.
As at 31 December 2025, the Company estimated that the impact of IBOR reform on the financial statements will be immaterial.
As at 31 December 2025, the Company held financial instruments based on variable interest rates, which were not yet replaced by
an alternative rate. The amount of financial instruments that are based on a rate subject to planned reform are presented in the

7.5.1.5 Risk of changes in prices of energy and energy carriers
The risk of changes in prices of electricity and energy commodities is a commodity risk for the Company, the measurement of
which is based on its impact on cash flow.
The Company’s exposure to the risk of volatility in electricity prices, energy commodities and related merchandise involves the
following markets:
electricity and natural gas, which are required to engage in mining and processing operations, including natural gas used
to generate electricity to meet the Company’s needs in its own generating sources,
CO
2
emission allowances, which need to be redeemed due to the level of greenhouse gas emissions by installations
operated by the Company being higher than the level of greenhouse gas emissions for which the Company received
freely-granted rights to emit CO
2
,
property rights to energy resulting from certificates of origin of energy from renewable sources (RES) and energy
efficiency certificates (hereafter: property rights), subject to redemption (required for purposes of redemption due to the
sale of electricity by the Company to end users as well as the consumption of purchased electricity for own needs).
The management of commodity price risk with respect to planned purchases of electricity and natural gas is based on the
management of exposure to the risk of changes in the prices of electricity and natural gas in a time horizon of up to 36 subsequent
months, resulting from electricity and gas purchase plans, less previously-signed purchase contracts with delivery in future periods.
In the case of the risk of changes in electricity prices, the source of exposure are sales prices in bilateral contracts and energy sales
prices on the Polish Power Exchange, where the Company purchases electricity in forward products (RTEE) as well as on the intra-
day and next-day market. Moreover, the Company entered into a contract for the supply of electricity from renewable energy
sources under a PPA (Power Purchase Agreement), which was entered into to meet the own needs of the Company and, in
accordance with the exemption provided for under IFRS 9 para. 2.4, is not subject to measurement and recognition as a financial
instrument.
In the case of the risk of changes in natural gas prices, the source of exposure is a contract entered into with ORLEN S.A., according
to which the price of the purchased gas depends to a large degree on the prices quoted on the Polish Power Exchange for E-type
gas (as regards both forward and SPOT contracts). As part of the management of risk of changes in the prices of energy resources,
the Company entered into option transactions on the TTF (Title Transfer Facility) gas market. Seagull option structures on the
contract Endex ICE TTF Natural Gas Month Ahead were entered into.

Commodity risk related to CO

emission allowances is connected with the exposure to changes in the prices of emission allowances
quoted in EUR on an exchange (e.g. European Energy Exchange) and in the EUR/PLN exchange rate, as well as differences in the
utilization of CO
2
emission allowances by the Company from planned amounts. In terms of changes in the prices of CO
2
emission
allowances, the Company has a net short position, resulting from the obligation to redeem rights due to CO

systemic emissions
which occur as a result of the combustion of coal within coal-bearing materials in installations functioning in the copper smelters,
and also as a result of the combustion of gas in the CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine) blocks generating electricity to meet the
Company’s needs.
In terms of the risk of changes in property rights, the Company has a net short position resulting from the obligation to redeem
property rights due to the sale of electricity to an end user as well as to the consumption of purchased electricity for own needs,
while the source of exposure are mainly the prices of property rights on the wholesale market, (i.e. on the Polish Power Exchange).
The Company sells electricity mostly to customers which provide services to the Company on properties belonging to the Company.

The inefficiency of the hedging which was recognised in profit or loss in the reporting periods of 2024 and 2025 was immaterial. Due to the full matching of applied instruments to the hedged
positions on the metals and currency markets, the Company does not identify potential sources of inefficiency.

Note 7.5.2 Credit risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk that the Company’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 Company is exposed to credit risk due to:
cash and cash equivalents and deposits;
derivatives;
trade receivables;
loans granted (Note 6.2);
guarantees granted (Note 8.6); and
other financial assets.
Accounting policies
The Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 degree it is classified to, an impairment loss is
estimated for a 12-month period (degree 1) or in the horizon of lifetime (degree 2 and degree 3). The absolute indicator of default
is an overdue period of more than 90 days. The detailed principles of classification of loans granted to individual degrees of loss
allowance for expected credit losses was described in note 6.2 Important estimates, assumptions and judgments.
Under the simplified model the Company 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 Company periodically allocates free cash alongside maintaining financial liquidity and limiting risk and in order to protect
capital and maximise interest income.
As at 31 December 2025, the total amount of free and restricted cash and cash equivalents of PLN 216 million (as at 31 December
2024, PLN 367 million) was held in bank accounts and in short-term deposits. The detailed structure of cash and cash equivalents
is presented in note 8.5.
All entities with which deposit transactions are entered into by the Company operate in the financial sector. These are solely banks
registered in Poland or operating in Poland as branches of foreign banks, which belong to European, American and Chinese
financial institutions with medium-high and medium ratings, an appropriate level of equity and a strong, stable market position.
Credit risk in this regard is continuously monitored through the ongoing review of the financial standing and by maintaining an
appropriately low level of concentration of resources in individual financial institutions.
The following table presents the level of concentration of cash and deposits allocated in financial institutions, including their
assessed creditworthiness.

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 Company 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 the impairment loss is insignificant.
These assets are classified to Degree 1 of the impairment model.

Taking into consideration the receivables due to open derivatives transactions entered into by the Company(excluding embedded
derivatives) as at 31 December 2025 and net receivables due to settled derivatives, the maximum single entity share of the amount
exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 15%, or PLN 47 million (as at 31 December 2024: 29%, or PLN
151 million).
In order to reduce cash flows and at the same time to limit credit risk, the Company 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
template 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.

Accounting policies
The Company 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 following
the 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 Company applies a provision matrix, made on the
basis of historical levels of payment of trade receivables, which is periodically recalibrated in order to update it.
The Company 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
PART 7 Financial instruments and financial risk management
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
79
of estimating PD, 5 risk groups have been selected based on the criteria of number of days of delays in payment, according to
ranges presented below as “Important estimates and assumptions”.
The Company defines default 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, the Company takes into account also collaterals by allocating
expected recovery rates to the particular types of collaterals.
Moreover, the Company takes into account forward-looking factor 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 Company
recognises any deterioration in them in comparison to the previous period, in the ECL calculation the forward looking factor,
which corrects the risk connected with any decrease in receivables recovery, is taken into account. As at the end of the reporting
period, on 31 December 2025, no deterioration of macroeconomic factors was noted.
* Intra-group receivables were excluded from the calculation of allowance for impairment

The Company 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 2025,
the amount of receivables transferred to factoring, for which payment from factors was not received, amounted to PLN 3 million
(as at 31 December 2024: PLN 13 million). Information on the amount of revenues from sales subjected to factoring in the financial
period is presented in part 2.
An inseparable element of the credit risk management process performed by the Company is the continuous monitoring of
receivables and the internal reporting system.
Buyer’s credit is only provided to proven customers. In the case of new customers, an effort is made to ensure that sales are based
on prepayments or trade financing instruments which transfer the credit risk to financial institutions.
The Company 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 aforementioned forms of collateral and the credit limits received from the insurance company, as at 31
December 2025 the Company had secured 87% of its trade receivables (as at 31 December 2024: 80%).
The total net value of the Company’s trade receivables as at 31 December 2025, excluding the fair value of collaterals,
up to the value of which the Company may be exposed to credit risk, amounts to PLN 1 239 million (as at 31 December 2024:
PLN 885 million).
The concentration of credit risk in the Company is related to the payment dates allowed to key clients. Consequently, as at 31
December 2025 the balance of receivables from the Company’s 7 largest clients, in terms of trade receivables at the end of the
reporting period, represented 74% of the balance of trade receivables (as at 31 December 2024: 74%). Despite the concentration
of this type of risk, the Company believes that due to the available historical data and the many years of experience in cooperating
with its clients, as well as to securities used, the level of credit risk is low.
Note 7.5.2.4 Credit risk related to other financial assets
As at 31 December 2025, the major items in other financial assets were:
cash accumulated on the separate, special purpose bank account of the Mine Closure Fund in the amount of PLN 488
million (as at 31 December 2024: PLN 443 million);
receivables due to cash pooling in the amount of PLN 523 million (as at 31 December 2024: PLN 683 million). Credit risk in
this regard is continuously monitored through the review of the financial standing and assets of the subsidiaries
participating in the cash pooling.
The account of the special purpose fund, used to accumulate cash in order to cover the costs of decommissioning of mines is
managed by a bank with a medium-high rating (principles of credit risk management connected with allocation of cash in financial
institutions are described in Note 7.5.2.1).
Impairment losses on cash accumulated on the bank account of the Mine Closure Fund was determined based on an external bank
rating. The analysis determined that these assets have a low credit risk at the end of the reporting period. The Company 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 expected impairment loss is insignificant.
Note 7.5.2.5 Credit risk related to loans granted
Entities which were granted loans do not have ratings assigned to them by independent rating agencies. The following table
presents a structure of ratings of entities which were granted loans by the Company, per the internal methodology of the Company:

Loans granted measured at amortised cost
The Company estimates expected credit losses related to loans granted measured at amortised cost in accordance with the general
approach.
Loans granted do not have collateral limiting the exposure to credit risk, therefore the maximum amount exposed to loss due to
credit risk is the gross amount of the loans, less expected credit losses recognised pursuant to IFRS 9.

For loans measured at amortised cost (excluding POCI), interest is accrued on the gross value using the IRR rate set at the moment
of initial recognition of the loan.
For POCI loans, interest is accrued on the gross value less any allowance for impairment recognised at the moment of initial
recognition, an IRR rate adjusted by credit risk defined at the moment of the loan’s initial recognition (CEIR, credit-adjusted effective
interest rate).
Loans granted measured at fair value
The carrying amount of loans measured at fair value as at 31 December 2025 amounted to PLN 3 225 million. As at 31 December
2024, the carrying amount was PLN 3 668 million. More disclosures on the fair value measurement were presented in Note 7.1.
The loans granted do not have collateral limiting exposure to credit risk, therefore the Company estimates the maximum, potential
losses due to credit risk in the amount of 100% of their current fair value, i.e. USD 901 million (PLN 3 225 million), while the nominal
value of loans granted amounts to USD 926 million.

Sensitivity analysis of the fair value of loans due to the change in forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda
As at 31 December 2025 and in the comparable period, the Company 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 unobservable parameter, being the
forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. More disclosures on the main assumptions (including unobservable input data)
assumed for the calculation of cash flows of Sierra Gorda were presented in the consolidated financial statements of the KGHM
Polska Miedź S.A. Group in Note 7.5.2.4.
Because of the significant sensitivity of the forecasted cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. to changes in the copper price, pursuant
to IFRS 13 para. 93.f the Company performed a sensitivity analysis of the fair value (level 3) of loans to changes in copper prices.
Price paths adopted to estimate the cash flows of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. are presented in Note 3.1.

PART 8 Borrowings and the management of liquidity and capital
Note 8.1 Capital management policy
Capital management in the Company is aimed at securing funds for business development and maintaining the appropriate level
of liquidity.
The Company monitors the Group’s level of financial security, among others using the Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA ratio presented
in the table below, which was calculated on the basis of data presented in the Consolidated financial statements of the KGHM
Group.

*Adjusted EBITDA for the period of 12 months ending on the last day of the reporting period, excluding adjusted EBITDA of the joint venture Sierra
Gorda S.C.M.
The level of the Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA ratio achieved in 2025 is consistent with the assumptions adopted by the Group in the
reporting period and confirms its stable financial condition.
The Company forecasts the coverage ratio of financial needs by available sources of financing, in order to identify, at a sufficiently
early stage, the risk of occurrence of a liquidity gap.
The overriding principle in this process is to ensure the Group’s financial security and stability, while the main tool used to limit risk
is the diversification of financing sources and ensuring they are of long-term maturities.
When making decisions about the use of financial instruments, the Company analyses factors of significance for managing liquidity,
amongst which the basic parameter is the level of interest rates and forecasts regarding their future direction.
The level of interest rates primarily has an impact on the Company’s creditworthiness, understood as the possibility of obtaining
and servicing debt. To limit the unfavourable impact of increases in market interest rates, some of the Company’s borrowings are
based on fixed interest rates.
Details regarding the impact of changes in interest rates on the occurrence of liquidity risks are presented in Note 7.5.1.4 of the
financial statements.
The second indicator monitored by the Company in the liquidity and capital management process, in particular in order to meet
the obligations arising from the concluded borrowing agreements, is the value of adjusted operating profit calculated on the basis
of data from the Consolidated Financial Statements of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, which is the basis for calculating EBITDA,
which is a part of the financial covenant. The value of this ratio is presented in the table below:

The financial covenant Net debt/EBITDA is calculated based on consolidated data, pursuant to unified definitions stipulated in
borrowing agreements.
As at 31 December 2025 the carrying amount of liabilities drawn under the agreements containing the financial covenant amounted
to PLN 1 447 million.
As at the reporting date, throughout the financial year and after the reporting date, up to the date of publication of these financial
statements, the value of a financial covenant subject to the obligation to report as at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2025, met the
conditions stipulated in the credit agreements.
There are no indications that the Group will have difficulties with fulfilling the liabilities due to meeting the financial covenants
when they are checked again as at 30 June 2026.
Note 8.2 Equity
Accounting policies
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 measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income (Note 7.3, Accounting policies) less any deferred tax effect.
Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of actuarial gains/losses on post-employment benefits less any deferred tax
effect (Part 11, Accounting policies).

Based on the Act of 15 September 2000, i.e. the Commercial Partnerships and Companies Code, the Company is required to create reserve capital for any potential (future) or existing losses, to
which no less than 8% of a given 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 2025 the statutory reserve capital amounted to PLN 667 million, and is recognised in retained earnings in the item reserve capital created in accordance with art. 396 of the
Commercial Partnerships and Companies Code.

Information related to dividends paid may be found in Note 12.2.
Note 8.3 Liquidity management policy
Liquidity management in the Company is the process based on assuring an adequate level of cash and access to a broad portfolio
of flexible sources of financing in order to ensure the capacity to meet the current as well as future financial obligations, taking into
account the costs of obtaining liquidity.
The Company continuously forecasts and monitors the liquidity based on expected cash flows. In order to minimise the risk of a
liquidity gap, the Company takes actions which guarantee safety and financial stability through diversification of sources of
financing and assuring their long-term maturity period.
The Management Board, supported by the Financial Liquidity Committee, is responsible for financial liquidity management in the
Company, and it is performed based on the approved, appropriate Policy.
The basic principles arising from the Financial Liquidity Management Policy are:
assuring the stable and effective financing of the Company’s activities,
investment of financial surpluses in safe financial instruments,
limits for individual financial investment categories,
limits for the concentration of funds in financial institutions,
a required investment level rating for banks in which the funds are deposited, and
effective management of working capital.
As a part of the process of liquidity management, the Company makes use of the reverse factoring program which supports the
process of working capital management and diversifies the sources of working capital financing.
All entities which concluded reverse factoring agreements with the Company are renowned financial institutions, i.e. factoring
companies or banks.
Under the liquidity management process, the Company also utilises other instruments which enhance its effectiveness, such as
e.g. cash pooling - locally in PLN, USD and EUR and internationally in USD. 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 order to support current liquidity and to optimise the service of cash management in a group of accounts in the banks in which
the systems operate, the Company holds overdraft facility agreements entered into in 2025 or extended for a subsequent period.
Accounting policies
In cash flows from operating activities in the statement of cash flows, the Company presents receivables due to cash pooling and
other liabilities due to settlements within cash pooling agreements in the item “change in other receivables and liabilities”.
Receivables due to cash pooling are receivables from Group companies, which at the end of the reporting period incurred a debt
within the cash pooling agreement. Other liabilities due to settlement within cash pooling agreements are liabilities of the
Company towards participants in the cash pooling system to repay, after the end of the reporting period, of cash transferred by
them, which were not used by the Company for its own needs.
Within cash flows from financing activities, the Company presents proceeds and expenses due to cash pooling and they represent
the Company’s debt towards participants in the cash pooling system, that is cash which the Company uses for its own needs.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgments
The cash pooling system was implemented in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group to actively manage the current shortages and
surpluses of cash on bank accounts of companies participating in the system in order to manage the cash and limits of debt with
high volatility and liquidity in the most efficient manner possible. KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., as a participant in the system as well
as a coordinator in the system, does not treat this activity as an investment activity established in order to invest free cash and
generate profits, but solely as supporting Group companies in managing their current shortages and surpluses.
In 2025, the Company obtained additional external financing in the form of bilateral bank loans in the amount of USD 135 million.
Moreover, in the reporting period actions were continued aimed at conducting safe and responsible financial policy by basing the
financing on diversified and long-term financial instruments.
On 17 December 2025, under the Bond Issuance Program agreement entered into in 2024, the Company issued 7-year bonds, D
series, with a nominal value of PLN 1 600 million and a redemption date of 17 December 2032. The funds raised from the issuance
were used for an earlier redemption of 10-year B series bonds issued in June 2019. The Company's exercise of the right of early
redemption of series B bonds was associated with the need to pay a premium to bondholders.

Note 8.4 Borrowings
Accounting policies
Liabilities arising from borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, less (in the case of payment) or plus (in the case of accrual)
transaction costs which are an integral part of the financing drawn, and are measured at amortised cost at the reporting date
using the effective interest rate method. Accrued interest is recognised in finance costs, unless it is capitalised through property,
plant and equipment or intangible assets.

*The amount includes KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.’s liabilities towards Group companies due to cash pooling in the amount of PLN 611 million
(PLN 561 million in 2024) within the credit limit.
As at 31 December 2025, the Company’s liabilities due to borrowings, issued debt securities, leases and cash pooling amounted to
PLN 6 122 million, or broken down by currencies: USD 603 million, PLN 3 892 million and EUR 14 million (as at 31 December 2024
liabilities amounted to PLN 6 351 million, or USD 590 million, PLN 3 915 million and EUR 4 million).
In general, the structure of debt did not change in comparison to 2024. The value of loans decreased due to the repayment of
instalments of incurred tranches. Pursuant to the adopted strategy, the external financing is aimed at ensuring long term financial
stability whose structure is based on diversified short and long-term financing instruments.

Note 8.6 Liabilities due to guarantees granted
Guarantees and letters of credit are an essential financial liquidity management tool of the Company.
Accounting policies
The Company 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 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 of profits recognised in profit or loss on guarantees, or the
amount of an allowance for expected credit losses set pursuant to the principles of the general model, described in accounting
policies in Note 7.5.2.
Important estimates and assumptions
For the calculation of expected credit loss, the Company adopts estimates for the rating, PD (probability of default) and LGD
parameters (loss given default) similarly as for the loans granted (Note 6.2). 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 2025, the Company held contingent liabilities due to guarantees and letters of credit granted in the total amount
of PLN 3 467 million.

PART 9 Non-current assets and related liabilities
Note 9.1 Mining and metallurgical property, plant and equipment
Accounting policies property, plant and equipment
The most important property, plant and equipment of the Company 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 shafts, wells, galleries, drifts, primary chambers), backfilling, drainage and firefighting pipelines, piezometric holes
and electricity, signal and optical fibre cables. 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 Company includes discounted
decommissioning costs of fixed assets related to 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 significant components, regular major overhauls and significant periodic repairs,
the performance of which determines further use of the asset.
Costs are increased by borrowing costs (i.e. interest, fees and exchange differences in the part 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 restoration 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 the perpetual usufruct right to land 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 Company,
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 units produced, and this production is not spread evenly through the period of their usage. In
particular it relates to machines and mining equipment in gas-steam blocks.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgments
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 dates either to the useful life end
date or to the lease end date, unless the ownership of an asset is transferred to the Company 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 and metallurgical plants:
For own fixed assets:
Group
Fixed assets type
Total useful lives
Buildings and land
Land
Not subject to depreciation
Buildings in mines and metallurgical plants

The Company performs regular reviews of its property, plant and equipment in terms of the adequacy of adopted economic
useful lives to current operating conditions, including the impact of climate changes.
Limiting the environmental impact by reducing greenhouse gas emissions may apply, in particular, to vehicles with combustion
engines used in the Company's mines if the European Union or Polish regulators introduce changes to regulations on exhaust
emission standards. As at the end of the annual reporting period, the Company has not identified any significant regulatory
risk in this area in the foreseeable future.
The individual significant parts of a fixed asset (significant components), whose useful lives are different from the useful life of
the given fixed asset as a whole are depreciated separately, applying a depreciation rates which reflects its anticipated useful
life.
Non-financial assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying
amount may not be recoverable.

Accounting policies intangible assets
Mining and metallurgical intangible assets are mainly comprised of exploration and evaluation assets.
Exploration and evaluation assets are measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
The expenditures incurred on the following are recognised in the cost of the asset:
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 Company 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.

Note 9.4 Provision for decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities
Accounting policies
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. Estimation of this provision is based on specially-prepared studies using ore extraction forecasts (for mining
facilities), and technical-economic studies prepared either by specialist firms or by the Company.
The amount of provision represents the estimated future decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities
discounted to present value. Revaluation of this provision is made in two stages:
1) calculating of the estimated decommissioning costs to the current value in connection with the change in prices using the
price change indices of construction-assembly production published by the Central Statistical Office.
2) discounting of the decommissioning costs to the current value using real discount rates calculated based on the nominal
interest rates and the inflation rate, whereby:
the nominal interest rate is based on the yield on treasury bonds at the end of the reporting period, with maturities nearest
to the planned financial outflows and if there are no treasury bonds with maturities close to the planned financial outflows
- the nominal interest rate is determined by the professional judgment of the Company's Management on the basis of the
consistency of the adopted assumptions,
the inflation rate is based on the forecast of future inflation used in the calculation of future employee benefits liabilities.
A change in the discount rate or in the estimated decommissioning cost adjusts the value of the relevant item of fixed assets,
unless it exceeds the carrying amount of the item of fixed assets (any surplus above this amount is recognised in other operating
income).
The increase in the provision due to the time lapse (so-called discount expansion effect) is recognised in finance costs.
The provision for decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities includes balances of the Mine Closure Fund
and Tailings Storage Facility Restoration Fund, which the Company creates under separate regulations, i.e. the act of 9 June 2011
Geological and Mining Law and the act of 14 December 2012 on waste. The role of the Funds is to secure cash for the future
execution by the Company of its obligations related to the closure, decommissioning and restoration of mines and tailings
storage facilities, by collecting them in the manner provided for by the above-mentioned acts.
In the case of the Mine Closure Fund, the Company has a separate bank account to which it transfers cash equivalent to 3% of
the depreciation charges on fixed assets of mines, determined in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act. Income
from cash transferred to a separate bank account increases their value and is recognised in profit or loss as other operating
income. Details on the credit risk related to the cash accumulated on the separate account of Mine Closure Fund are presented
in Note 7.5.2.4.
In accordance with the regulations, one of the forms of securing the funds of the Tailings Storage Facility Restoration Fund are
financial guarantees issued by the bank on demand of the Company, the beneficiary of which is the Company. As at 31 December
2025, the guarantees amounted to PLN 141 million, and their value is updated on an annual basis. The Company strives to fully
secure funds for the restoration of individual tailings storage facilities in the year for which the liquidation and restoration
schedule provides for the closure of a given tailings storage facility, by systematically increasing the value of these guarantees.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgments
For the measurement of provision, the Company adopted an inflation rate at the level of 2.9% for 2026 and for subsequent
periods at the level of 2.5%, in line with the long-term inflation target (in the comparable period - 5.6% for 2025 and 2.7% for
2026 and for subsequent periods at the level of 2.5%, in line with the long-term inflation target).
PART 9 Non-current assets and related liabilities
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
107
Moreover, for the first 10 years of measurement of the provision (that is up to 2035), the Company adopted a risk-free rate of
5.15% (yield of 10-year treasury bonds) due to the fact that it is the only publicly available information on the risk-free rate for
the subsequent 10 years, and pursuant to the adopted judgment, this rate was not modified. The Company will adjust the risk-
free rate to the level of this rate announced at every subsequent end of the reporting period in order to measure the provision
at those days (in the comparable period, for the first 10 years of measurement of the provision, that is up to 2034, a risk-free
rate of 5.87% was adopted).
In turn, taking into account the high volatility of the risk-free rate that took place in the last period, based on yield of 10-year
treasury bonds, the Company applied a professional judgment to determine this rate for the estimation of provisions falling
after a period of 10 years from the end of the annual reporting period based on the historical observation of the ratio of the
risk-free rate to the assumed inflation target. As a result of the judgement, the Company adopted the risk-free rate of 3.5% for
the estimation of provision after a period of 10 years from the end of the annual reporting period, which translated into a real
discount rate of 0.98% (in the comparable period, the same assumptions were adopted).
Estimation of this provision is based on specially-prepared studies using ore extraction forecasts (for mining facilities), and
technical-economic expertise. The latest update of the study was prepared as at the end of 2025. Decommissioning costs are
calculated based on current prices of the sector for construction and assembly services, which incorporate climate risk by
reflecting the current level of costs incurred by the industry to adapt to climate change and to mitigate the effects of climate
risks. In the future, as the industry's climate protection costs increase, this indicator will increasingly include climate risk
mitigation expenditures. An example of the construction and assembly industry adapting to climate risk is the gradual
replacement of combustion-powered machinery with low-emission ones (e.g. battery-powered), used to decommission facilities
covered by the provision for decommissioning costs of mines and other technological facilities.

Note 9.7 Greenhouse gas emissions allowances
Accounting policies
CO
2
emission allowances received free of charge and purchased, intended to be used for the entity's own needs, are recognised
as intangible assets.
At the moment of initial recognition:
CO
2
emission allowances received free of charge and related non-financial subsidies (recognised as the settlement of deferred
income) are measured at fair value corresponding to the market value of these allowances on the date of their initial
recognition.
purchased CO
2
emission allowances are measured at cost.
At the end of the reporting period, emission allowances are measured at initial value less amortisation and impairment losses.
The value of the CO
2
emission allowances is not subject to depreciation/amortisation, if their end value is equal to or higher than
their carrying amount.
Disposals of the emission allowances recognised as intangible assets are carried out in accordance with the FIFO method.
CO
2
emission allowances recognised as intangible assets are settled and excluded from the register whenever they are
redeemed* by the Company. The settlement of CO
2
emission allowances is recognised in the provision which is created in
accordance with the obligation to redeem the allowances.
This provision is recognised when the obligation to provide redemption allowances arises, respectively to the amounts of the
pollutants emitted. The provision is measured in relation to the value of emission allowances held, at the carrying amount of
these rights, and in the case of their deficit, at the market value of the emission allowances as at the date the provision was
created.
The provision is recognised in the production cost.
In the statement of profit or loss, the Company settles the subsidy recognised in deferred income in the period for which it was
granted. The subsidy settled up to the cost of the created provision (respectively to the tonnage of CO
2
emissions covered by the
provision) is offset in the statement of profit or loss by the cost of the created provision. The subsidy in the amount which exceeds
the cost of the created provision is recognised in other operating income.
* Redemption means fulfilling the obligation imposed by the provisions of the Act on greenhouse gas emission trading scheme on the owner of
the Installation, consisting of the redemption of allowances on the allowance account by persons authorised to operate accounts in the Union
Registry, for each Installation separately, in the number covering the actual emissions of pollutants for the previous year.

Note 10.1 Inventories
Accounting policies
The Company 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.
Fixed indirect costs of production are allocated on the basis of the normal level of production capacity utilisation.
The valuation of the inventory component disposal is made according to the weighted average purchase price and the weighted
average actual production cost.
The Company also classifies as inventories stand-by spare parts that do not meet the criteria for recognition as property, plant
and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 par. 7 and in accordance with the principles of capitalization of significant components,
adopted in the accounting principles of the Company, where a materiality threshold of at least PLN 300 thousand has been set,
for which the spare parts are analysed in terms of meeting the capitalization criteria of IAS 16. In relation to the above, stand-by
spare parts are in particular recognised as inventories, the value of which is insignificant or are not replaced at regular intervals,
or which, after their installation, due to the failure of a spare part in an item of property, plant and equipment, will not contribute
to the obtainment of higher economic benefits from further use of this component than those assumed at the moment of initial
recognition of the component and putting it into use. The costs of such stand-by spare parts are recognised in profit or loss as
they are consumed, as current maintenance costs of assets.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgments
The Company measures inventories at cost, not higher than the net realisable value. The potential difference in the amounts
represents a write-down of inventories of copper, silver and other products (at various processing stages), up to the net realisable
value is recognised in the cost of manufacturing of sold products in the period, in which the write-down was recognised.
The Company determines the net sales price of copper at the end of the reporting period on the basis of the forward LME (London
Metal Exchange) curve for the metal, set for months in which the sale of metal inventories will be made.

Note 10.1.1 Property rights arising from certificates of origin for electricity generated in renewable energy sources and
from energy efficiency
Accounting policies
Acquired property rights to energy and certificates attesting to energy efficiency are recognised in the statement of financial
position as merchandise, and at the date of acquisition are measured at cost.
At the end of the reporting period these assets are measured at cost less any impairment losses, though no higher than the net
sale price.
Freely acquired certificates resulting from the act on energy efficiency are recognised as merchandise, while their free
acquirement is treated as a non-financial subsidy and is measured at the moment of initial recognition at fair value based on
the current market price.
Subsidy resulting from the receipt of freely acquired certificates attesting to energy efficiency are recognised, as a subsidy to
assets, in accruals.
At the end of the reporting period, freely acquired certificates attesting to energy efficiency are measured at initial cost less any
impairment losses, though no higher than the net sale price.
The deficit of property rights to energy and of certificates attesting to energy efficiency is supplemented by their purchase or by
a payment of a substitute fee.
Provision for costs of meeting the obligation to redeem property rights to energy and of certificates attesting to energy
efficiency
Due to the obligation to redeem property rights to energy and of certificates attesting to energy efficiency, the Company creates
a provision in accruals.
This provision is measured at the carrying amount of the property rights to energy or certificates attesting to energy efficiency
held and, in the case of their deficit, at the market value of the property rights (certificates) at the date the provision is created
or at the amount of the substitute fee corresponding to the amount of the energy sold, depending on which of these amounts
is lower.
Settlement of the amount of the provision and the redemption of property rights occurs at the date of redemption of these
rights by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office.

Note 10.2 Trade receivables
Accounting policies
Trade receivables are initially recognised at the price determined in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, unless the
receivables contain a significant financial component subject to separation, in which case the receivables are initially recognised
at fair value. After initial recognition, 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 (trade receivables with maturity dates of less than 12 months are
not discounted),
PART 10 Working capital
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
112
- 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 an adjustment by 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 the 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 assets do not pass the SPPI (solely
payments of principal and interest) test because of the element of variable price after the date of initial recognition of the
receivables.
Receivables may be measured at fair value both based on the M+ pricing formula as well as due to the transfer 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 M+ pricing formula means that for individual transactions for the sale of copper and silver products, the final sales price is determined
after the date of recognition of the sale, based on, for example, the average of the stock exchange quotations of a given metal in the month of
sale or in the month following the month of sale.
The Company 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. while information on the currency risk is presented in Note 7.5.1.3.
The following table presents the carrying amounts of trade receivables and the loss allowance for expected credit loss:
Note 10.3 Trade and other payables
Accounting policies
Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value less transaction cost and are measured at amortised cost at the
end of the reporting period.
Interest due to repayment of payables at a later date, in particular trade payables within the reverse factoring mechanism, is
recognised in profit or loss, in the item “finance costs”.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgments
Trade and other payables presented in the statement of financial position also contain trade payables within the reverse factoring
mechanism, which are in the category of “other”.
At the moment of transfer of the trade payables to reverse factoring, the Company 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 such transactions, it was
necessary for the Company 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 Company’s opinion, in presenting the balance of trade payables within the reverse factoring mechanism as „Trade and
other payables” (assigned to the category of “other”) together with other trade payables and not as debt liabilities, the following
aspects had a crucial impact:

KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
113
from the legal point of view, at the moment of subrogation of trade payables within the reverse factoring mechanism 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 supplier financing mechanism, 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 Company’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 the reverse factoring mechanism. 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 trade payable within the reverse factoring mechanism do not change by more than 10%,
costs related to reverse factoring are incurred both by the Company and its suppliers. The Company incurs interest cost
arising from the payment of liabilities over an extended period, while the supplier incurs a discount cost due to early (that
is, before the end of the base term, which is usually 60 days) payment received from the factor,
the Company, together with individual suppliers, on the basis of signed contracts, will determine which invoices will be
subject to the reverse factoring mechanism, and what the deadline for early payment to the supplier through the factor will
be.
Moreover, although the Company 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 Company to be insufficient for the purpose of
recognising that, at the moment of covering the trade payables by the reverse factoring mechanism, 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 financial institution, and at the moment of subrogation by the factor there is a change in the debtor,
in order to obtain more favourable terms, the factoring agreement was negotiated with the factor by the Company and not
directly by the suppliers,
the actual deadline for the payment of trade payables subject to reverse factoring amounts to up to 180 days and is longer
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 trade payables within the reverse factoring mechanism are incurred by the Company, 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 by the Company (discount for the payment before 60 days or other, stipulated
in the trade contract).
As part of the analysis of IFRS in the context of presenting the balance of trade payables within the reverse factoring mechanism,
the Company also analysed the statement published in December 2020 by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations
Committee (Committee) on the presentation of transactions within the reverse factoring mechanism in the statement of financial
position and the statement of cash flows. In the Company’s opinion, the aspects indicated by the Committee as well as the
summary of the key requirements related to the analysed issue do not have an impact on the conclusions of the assessment
conducted by the Company. The Committee, recommending the appropriate presentation of liabilities subject to reverse
factoring mechanisms, indicated the same issues that were analysed and disclosed by the Company as part of important
judgments. In particular, in the context of the areas of analysis indicated by the Committee, the Company confirms that:
covering the trade payables by the reverse factoring mechanism 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 trade payable within the reverse factoring mechanism will not change by
more than 10%; thus, the criteria of ceasing the disclosure of liabilities, i.e. the 10% test and the other criteria for ceasing
the disclosure 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 mechanism,
trade payables within the reverse factoring mechanism are part of the working capital used by the unit in the unit’s regular
operating cycle.
The Company 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 Company to be insufficient to conclude that when the trade payable was
covered by reverse factoring mechanism, 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 Company's assessment of the nature of trade payables transferred to reverse factoring and their presentation,
means that the trade payables within the reverse factoring mechanism are presented by the Company in the statement of
financial position under "Trade and other payables ", including those under the "other" category.
Commencing with the annual financial statements published for the year beginning on 1 January 2024, the Company is bound
by amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 on the disclosure of information regarding supplier financing mechanisms. The amendments
to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 do not affect the method of making judgments, including the criteria analysed above regarding the
presentation of trade payables covered by supplier financing programs, because they concern only the disclosure of information
on such programs. However, in order to adapt to the most commonly used names of supplier financing programs in the amended
IAS 7, paragraph 44G, the Company decided to use the name "reverse factoring" as consistent with the nomenclature used in the
IFRS accounting standards and at the same time adequate to the principles of the implemented program. This change is intended
to increase the information value of the financial statements for their users.
*The Company has agreements for the provision of reverse factoring services with financial institutions that are factoring companies or banks.

In 2025, the factors’ total participation limit amounted to PLN 5 150 million (in 2024: PLN 4 500 million). Currently, the Company
has concluded open-ended agreements for the provision of reverse factoring services with several factors. The cost of reverse
factoring, depending on the terms arising from the concluded agreements, is at the following level: for PLN WIBOR 1M + a margin,
for EUR EURIBOR 1M + a margin, for USD Term SOFR 1M/SOFR ON + a margin. The program of reverse factoring was implemented
in 2019 in order to make it possible for the Company’s suppliers to receive repayment of receivables faster, as part of the standard
procurement process executed by the Company, alongside an extension of payment dates of Company’s payables. In 2025,
liabilities in the amount of PLN 5 975 million were transferred to factors and as at 31 December 2025 the trade payables covered
by reverse factoring amounted to PLN 1 297 million (in 2024 liabilities in the amount of PLN 7 087 million were transferred to
factors and as at 31 December 2024 the trade payables covered by reverse factoring amounted to PLN 2 000 million); in 2025,
payments made towards factors amounted to PLN 6 670 million (in the year ended 31 December 2024 - PLN 8 131 million). Interest
costs paid towards factors in 2025 amounted to PLN 101 million (in the year ended 31 December 2024 - PLN 164 million).

The Company is exposed to currency and interest rates risk arising from trade and other payables, which is presented in Note
7.5.1.3 and 7.5.1.4, as well as to liquidity risk described in Note 8.3.
The fair value of trade and other payables approximates their carrying amount.
Note 10.4 Changes in working capital
Accounting policies
Cash flows arising from interest on trade payables within the reverse factoring mechanism 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. Moreover, the Company, as regards the changes in working capital in the statement of
cash flows, presented a separate line “Change in trade payables within the reverse factoring mechanism” for the purposes of
clear and transparent presentation.
Important estimates, assumptions and judgments
Due to the lack of uniform market practice with respect to the presentation of reverse factoring transactions in the Statement of
cash flows, the Management Board had to apply its own judgment in this regard. In the case of these transactions, the Company
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 Company’s view:
presentation of the repayment of the principal amounts of receivables in the trade payables within the reverse factoring
mechanism 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 a legal subrogation of
receivables is made by the factor, from a legal standpoint, the factor 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),
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 Company for the presentation of interest cost of trade payables within the reverse
factoring mechanism in the financial activities.
Moreover, in terms of judgment regarding the presentation of cash flows resulting from reverse factoring transactions in the
statement of cash flows in operating activities, the Company also relies on the position of the International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee (Committee) on the presentation of reverse factoring transactions in the statement of financial
position and 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 trade payable within the reverse factoring mechanism is a “Trade and other
payable”, 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.
Taking into account the above, the Company assesses the nature of trade payables within the reverse factoring mechanism and
presents them in the statement of financial position as "trade and other payables" (information in this respect is presented in
Note 10.3), which confirms the Company's judgment as to the method of presentation of these transactions in the statement of
cash flows which is presented in the accounting policies in Note 10.4.

PART 11 Employee benefits
Accounting policies
The Company 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 those of the
liabilities due to be paid.
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
(for example benefits due to jubilee bonuses) are recognised in profit or loss.
Important 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. The interest rate is 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 Company 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 treasury bonds along the
yield 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 actuarial assumptions adopted for the purpose of measurement of employee benefits in the Company reflect the economic
relations between such factors as inflation, the salary growth rate, the discount rate and the coal price growth rate.
The assumptions used in the measurement as at 31 December 2025 are presented in Note 11.2.
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the same measurement method which was used to measure liabilities recognised
in the financial statements, that is the Projected Unit Credit Method. In order to analyse the impact of a given factor (assumption),
its value is changed by +/- 1 percentage point, while leaving all other assumptions and the database of people entitled to benefits
unchanged. Therefore, the result of analysis shows the impact of change in only one selected factor.

* Changes in the lowest salary were included in the retirement and disability benefits, jubilee awards and other benefits, while the coal equivalent

As the above analysis indicates, the benefits with the longest maturity horizon, i.e. coal equivalents that will be paid to current
employees following their retirement or disability leave, are the most sensitive to changes in assumptions. For these benefits,
the deviation ranges from -17.6% to 23.5% (in the comparable period: from -17.7% to 22.9%).
The least sensitive to changes in assumptions are benefits with a relatively short maturity period, e.g. jubilee awards depending
on the length of service, for which the deviation ranges from -6.3% to 8.8% (in the comparable period: from -6.2% to 8.6%).

Note 12.11 Disclosure of information on the Company’s activities regulated by the Act on Energy
Note 12.11.1 Introduction
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. meets the definition of an “energy enterprise” under the Act on Energy. Pursuant to article 44 of the Act
on Energy, the Company is required to prepare, on the basis of the Company’s accounting records, information about its regulated
activities. The scope of information concerning regulated activities, pursuant to article 44 of the aforementioned Act, constitute the
Company’s business activities in:
distribution of electricity;
distribution of gaseous fuels; and
trade in gaseous fuels.
Note 12.11.2 Description of regulated activities
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. conducts the following types of energy-related activities:
- Distribution of electricity an activity which consists of distributing the electricity, used to meet the needs of clients
conducting business activities;
- Trade in gaseous fuels an activity which consists of trading in nitrogen-enriched natural gas and is conducted to meet the
needs of clients engaged in business activities; and
- Distribution of gaseous fuels an activity which consists of distributing nitrogen-enriched natural gas by utilising the
distribution grids located in the Legnica and Głogów municipalities in order to meet the needs of clients conducting business
activities.
Note 12.11.3 Basic principles of regulatory accounting
Regulatory accounting is a specific type of accounting, if compared to the accounting carried out in accordance with the Accounting
Act of 29 September 1994, conducted by an entrepreneur for its regulated activities including energy activities.
In addition to the accounting policy which was described in the financial statements and was the basis for the keeping of the
accounting records and for preparation of the Company’s financial statements, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. applies the following
accounting principles for the purposes of regulatory accounting:
Causality principle
The allocation of particular revenue and costs is made in accordance with a given assets’ intended purpose and utilisation of assets
to meet the needs of a specified type of activity or service, with the causality principle governing the recognition of items of revenue
and costs in specified types of activity and with the principle of consistency between recognition by types of activity of items of
revenue and costs, which stems from the fact that these items reflect different aspects of the same events.
Objectivity and non-discrimination principle
The allocation of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and costs is done objectively and is not aimed at making profits or incurring
losses.
Continuation and comparability principle
The methods and principles used in preparing the report on regulatory accounting are applied in a continuous manner. This report
was prepared using the same principles for the current and comparable periods.
PART 12 Other notes
in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated
KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.
Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
128
Transparency and consistency principle
The methods applied in preparing the report on regulatory accounting are transparent and consistent with the methods and
principles applied in other calculations performed for regulatory purposes and with the methods and principles applied in
preparing the financial statements.
Materiality principle (feasibility principle)
The Company permits certain simplifications in measurement, recognition and allocation of items of assets, liabilities, equity,
revenue and costs as long as it does not significantly distort the true picture of the financial position and assets presented in the
financial statements on regulated activities.
Note 12.11.4 Detailed principles of regulatory policy methods and principles governing the allocation of assets, liabilities,
equity, costs and revenues
The Company prepares financial information on its regulated activities by overlapping the regulated activities’ structure with the
Company’s organisational structure. The Company applies, in a continuous manner, various methods for the allocation of revenue,
costs, assets and liabilities to specific types of regulated activities. The following methods were used:
specific (direct) identification method applied if a direct identification of value is possible, for example the level of
revenue from certain activities,
direct allocation method (e.g. the purchase cost of production fuel) this method is applied if there is a direct cause-and-
effect relationship between the consumed resource and the corresponding cost,
indirect allocation method on the basis of a predetermined allocation key, this method is used among others, to allocate
cost in a situation where no direct cause-and-effect relationship between the utilised resource and the cost item exists and
there is a need to use a cost driver (an allocation key) which enables linkage of items with their respective cost. The most
commonly used allocation keys are:
revenue key value of revenue is the allocation key;
production key production units are the allocation key;
power key the installed power of machines and equipment is used for the allocation of indirect costs;
cost key the value of costs is the allocation key;
mixed keys, which combine elements of several different keys; and
other keys appropriate for a specific case.
Assets
In the statement of financial position of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. for the current and comparable periods, the following items of
assets of regulated activities were recognised:
Non-current assets:
1.Fixed assets,
2.Fixed assets under construction,
Current assets:
1. Trade receivables.
Other items of assets in the Company’s statement of financial position were allocated to other activities due to the lack of a link
between these items and regulated activities, or because the share of these items in regulated activities is immaterial.
Fixed assets
The identification and allocation of specific items of fixed assets to regulated activities takes place when these items of fixed assets
are brought into use. Based on the key consumption for energy carriers, being the quantitative share in sales of the energy carrier
in the total volume of the purchased energy carrier less losses, the percentage in the carrying amount of fixed assets used in the
energy activities is established.
Share =
Volume of energy carriers sold externally
in the reporting period x 100%
Total volume of purchased energy carrier
for the reporting period losses

Separate financial statements for 2025 Translation from the original Polish version
129
Fixed assets under construction
The allocation of fixed assets under construction to regulated activities is achieved by the detailed identification of expenditures
on fixed assets under construction which are related to regulated activities, based on the analysis of accounting records. The
remaining expenditures on fixed assets under construction are recognised in other activities of the Company.
The Company recognises the full amount of deferred tax assets due to other deductible temporary differences under other
activities, due to their immaterial share in regulated activities.
Trade receivables
Allocation of receivables in specific types of regulated activities is done on the basis of detailed identification of revenues from
specific types of regulated activities, by analysing the accounting records with respect to unsettled sales invoices. The remaining
amount of trade receivables is recognised in other activities. The Company recognises the full amount of other receivables (i.e.
apart from trade receivables) in other activities due to their immaterial share in regulated activities.
Equity and liabilities
In the statement of financial position, the following items were recognised in equity and liabilities for the current and comparable
periods with respect to regulated activities:
Equity
Liabilities
I. Non-current liabilities:
1. Deferred tax liabilities;
2. Future employee benefits liabilities.
II. Current liabilities:
1. Future employee benefits liabilities.
The full amount of other items of liabilities are recognised by the Company in other activities, due to their immaterial share in
regulated activities.
Equity
The Company allocates equity to regulated activities as an item offsetting the assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax liabilities
With respect to regulated activities, deferred tax liabilities were identified arising from taxable temporary differences between the
depreciation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for tax purposes and their carrying amount.
The allocation of deferred tax liabilities due to the depreciation of property, plant and equipment and the amortisation of intangible
assets, appropriate to the specific types of regulated activities, is performed through the use of indicators set for property, plant
and equipment and intangible assets. The Company allocates all deferred tax liabilities arising from other taxable temporary
differences to other operating activities.
Non-current and current liabilities due to future employee benefits
Liabilities due to future employee benefits are allocated to individual types of regulated activities using a revenue key through the
indirect allocation method.
Revenues from sales
Following an analysis of revenues in terms of their allocation to individual types of regulated activities, the Company identified
groups of operations which met the following conditions:
revenues from the sale of electricity distribution;
revenues from the sale of nitrogen-enriched natural gas distribution; and
revenues from the sale of nitrogen-enriched natural gas trade.
Revenues from sales are allocated to individual types of regulated activities using the individual identification method.
Operating costs
Following an analysis of costs in terms of their allocation to individual types of regulated activities, the following types of operating
costs were identified:
costs of electricity distribution services and the distribution of natural gas;
the value of the sold merchandise related to trade in natural gas; and
administrative expenses associated with electricity sold.
Costs of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses are allocated to separate types of regulated activities based on the
Company's account of the actual costs.

Income tax
The amount of income tax presented in the statement of profit or loss for individual types of regulated activities is set as a multiple
of the financial result and the effective tax rate. The amount of current income tax decreases or increases deferred income tax,
which is calculated from the difference between the carrying amount and the taxable amount of the respective assets of regulated
activities.
