Description of changes and impact |
|---|---|
| Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS (1.01.2020/ 29.11.2019) |
The purpose of the amendments is to replace references to the previous conceptual framework in a number of standards and interpretations with references to the amended Conceptual Framework.
Implementation of the Conceptual Framework had no effect on the consolidated financial statements. |
| Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of the term ‘material’ (1.01.2020/ 29.11.2019) | The amendments standardize and clarify the definition of ‘material’ and contain guidelines to increase the consistency of application of this concept in the IFRS.
The Group makes assessments of the materiality of disclosures in accordance with the requirements of IAS 1 on an ongoing basis, and based on these assessments, makes appropriate changes in the presentation of data in the consolidated financial statements. |
| Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 – IBOR reform (1.01.2020/ 15.01.2020) | The amendments introduce certain temporary, narrow departures from the requirements of prospective verification of the effectiveness of hedging relations set out in IAS 39 and IFRS 9. The amendments allow prospective testing of hedging relationships without taking into account the effects of the future implementation of the IBOR reform.
The Group took amendments into account in the prospective testing of hedging relationships. As part of the established hedging relationships, the Capital Group identifies the following interest rate reference ratios: WIBOR, EURIBOR, LIBOR CHF, LIBOR USD. As at the reporting date, these benchmarks are quoted daily and are available for use and the resulting cash flows are normally exchanged with counterparties. In the case of WIBOR and EURIBOR, the Group currently does not identify any uncertainty regarding the timing or amounts of cash flows resulting from the IBOR reform. For LIBOR CHF and LIBOR USD, the established hedging relationships exceed the announced discontinuation dates for both ratios, i.e. December 31, 2021 for CHF LIBOR and June 20, 2023 for USD LIBOR. The Capital Group expects that these ratios will be replaced by new benchmarks: LIBOR CHF by SARON and LIBOR USD by SOFR. List of hedging relationships and the nominal amounts of their designated hedging instruments that may be affected by the IBOR reform:
CIRS CHF / PLN (CHF 25 million based on CHF LIBOR) – Hedging the volatility of cash flows of floating-rate loans in CHF, resulting from the risk of changes in interest rates and currency risk, and hedging of the volatility of cash flows of term deposits negotiated in PLN / bank products of regular PLN savings resulting from the risk of changes in interest rates, using CIRS transaction
IRS USD (USD 81 million based on USD LIBOR) – Hedge of fair value volatility of a fixed-rate convertible currency, measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, resulting from the risk of changes in interest rates, using IRS transactions. |
| Amendments to IFRS 3 Business combinations (1.01.2020/21.04.2020) |
The amendments narrow down and clarify the definition of a venture. They also allow for a simplified assessment of whether a set of assets and activities is a group of assets and not a venture. A prospective approach will apply to these amendments.
The Group will apply these amendments, if relevant. |
| Amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases” (1.06.2020/9.10.2020) | The amendments allow lessees not to account for rent concessions as lease modifications if they are a direct consequence of COVID-19 and meet certain conditions.
The Group does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. |

|---|---|
| MSSF 17 Insurance Contracts (1.01.2023/brak danych) and amendments to IFRS 17 (1.01.2023/ no data) | IFRS 17 will replace IFRS 4 which enabled entities to recognize insurance contracts according to the accounting principles in force in the national standards, which, as a result, meant applying many different solutions. IFRS 17 introduces the requirements to recognize all insurance agreements in a consistent manner, including, among others, with regard to the measurement of insurance liabilities, recognition of the profit or loss over time, accounting for reinsurance, separation of an investment component. The application of the standard should follow the full retrospective approach with certain departures.

| Amendments to IAS 1 – classification of liabilities (1.01.2023/1Q2021) | The amendments relate to the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position.
