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

in PLN millions, unless otherwise stated

Accounting policies

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

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

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

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

  • the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance to the extent that it performs its obligations, or
  • the Group satisfies a performance obligation and creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in progress) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, or
  • the Group satisfies a performance obligation and creates an asset without an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

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

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

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

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

The transaction price also reflects the effects of the time value of money if a contract with a customer contains a significant financing element, which is determined based on the contractual payment terms, regardless of whether the promise of financing is explicitly stated in the contract. In determining whether a financing component is significant for a given agreement, all of the facts and circumstances are taken into consideration, including the eventual difference between the promised consideration and the cash selling price of the promised goods and services, as well as the total impact of the following two factors: (i) the estimated period from the moment an entity transfers the promised goods or services to a customer to the moment the customer pays for these goods or services, and (ii) prevailing interest rates on a given market. In the realised contracts of sales to customers in 2020 and 2019, the Group identified a significant financing component in the contract with Franco Nevada (contract described below in Important estimates, assumptions and judgments). The Group presents the results of financing (interest costs) in revenues from contracts with customers in the statement of comprehensive income. In the Franco Nevada contract, there is also an element of variable consideration. In such a situation, the Group recognises revenues by estimating the amount of consideration, to which it will be entitled to in exchange for transferring the good to the customer and includes a part or all of the amount of variable consideration in the transaction price only to such an extent to which it is highly probable that there will not be a reversal of a significant part of previously recognised accumulated revenues at the moment when uncertainty as to the amount of consideration ceases to be.

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

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

Important estimates, assumptions and judgments

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

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

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

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

Variable consideration

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

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

Significant financing component

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

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

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