The following companies were not included in any of the aforementioned segments:
- Future 1 Sp. z o.o., which acts as a holding company with respect to the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group,

Location of mining assets of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group
The Parent Entity and the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group (a subgroup) have a fundamental impact on the assets and the generation of revenues in the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group. The activities of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. are concentrated on the mining industry in Poland, while those of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group are concentrated on the mining industry in the countries of North and South America. The profile of activities of the majority of the remaining subsidiaries of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group differs from the main profile of the Parent Entity’s activities.
The Parent Entity’s Management Board monitors the operating results of individual segments in order to make decisions on allocating the Group’s resources and to assess the financial results achieved.
Financial data prepared for management reporting purposes is based on the same accounting policies as those applied when preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group, while the financial data of individual reporting segments constitutes the amounts presented in appropriate financial statements prior to consolidation adjustments at the level of the KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. Group, i.e.:
- The segment KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. – comprises data from the separate financial statements of the Parent Entity prepared in accordance with IFRSs. In the separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries (including the investment in KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD.) are measured at cost, including impairment losses,
- The segment KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. – comprises consolidated data of the KGHM INTERNATIONAL LTD. Group prepared in accordance with IFRSs. The involvement in Sierra Gorda S.C.M. is accounted for using the equity method,
- The segment Sierra Gorda S.C.M. – comprises the 55% share of assets, liabilities, revenues and costs of this venture presented in the separate financial statements of Sierra Gorda S.C.M. prepared in accordance with IFRSs,
- Other segments – comprises aggregated data of individual subsidiaries after excluding transactions and balances between them.
The Management Board of the Parent Entity assesses a segment’s performance based on adjusted EBITDA and the profit or loss for the period.
The Group defines adjusted EBITDA as profit/loss for the period pursuant to IFRS, excluding income tax (current and deferred), finance income and costs, other operating income and costs, profit or loss on involvement in joint ventures, impairment losses on interest in a joint venture, depreciation/amortisation and recognition/reversal of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment included in the cost of sales, selling costs and administrative expenses. Since adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined by IFRS, it is not a standardised measure and therefore its method of calculation may vary between entities, and consequently the presentation and calculation of adjusted EBITDA applied by the Group may not be comparable to that applied by other market entities.
Revenues from transactions with external entities and inter-segment transactions are carried out at arm’s length. Eliminations of mutual settlements, revenues and costs between segments were presented in the item “Consolidation adjustments”.
Unallocated assets and liabilities concern companies which have not been allocated to any segment. Assets which have not been allocated to the segments comprise cash, trade receivables and deferred tax assets. Liabilities which have not been allocated to the segments comprise trade liabilities and current tax liabilities.
