EGMENT REPORTING
Information about business segments is presented only in the consolidated financial statements of the Warsaw Stock
Exchange Group (“the GPW Group” or “the Group”).
1.7. IMPACT OF THE SARS-COV-2 PANDEMIC
The Exchange is monitoring the development of the coronavirus pandemic nationally and internationally. In the Management
Board’s opinion, the risk associated with the pandemic is low.
The Exchange Management Board has considered the impact of the pandemic on the Exchange’s ability to continue as a
going concern. As at 31 December 2022, the Exchange did not identify any material uncertainties relating to events or
circumstances that would cast significant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Exchange Management Board monitors the epidemiological situation in Poland and globally on an on-going basis and
analyses its impact on the position of the Exchange. The Exchange identified a number of operational and financial risks
including periodic HR shortages, interruption of vendors’ services, restricted activity of market makers, slow-down of
operational processes, the psychological impact of long isolation, and shrinking ability and will of the Exchange’s clients to
pay debt when due.
The details are presented in the Management Board’s Report on the Activities of the Parent Entity and the Warsaw Stock
Exchange Group, Note 2.7.
1.8. IMPACT OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE
On 24 February 2022, armed conflict broke out in Ukraine. The international community reacted by imposing sanctions
against Russia. In view of the impact of the conflict on the political and economic situation in Europe and the world, GPW
took into account the recommendations of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority issued on 2 March 2022 for issuers of
securities.
In this connection, GPW has:
conducted an analysis of potential risks arising from the conflict that may affect the operations of GPW (Management
Board’s Report on the Activities of the Parent Entity and the Warsaw Stock Exchange Group, Note 2.7); and
conducted an analysis of the potential impact of the conflict on the 2022 financial statements in the context of
assessing GPW’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has no direct investments/exposures to entities with operations in Ukraine/Russia. As at 31 December 2022,
no material receivables were identified from GPW counterparties related to parties involved in the armed conflict in Ukraine.
As shown in Note 2.2.2, GPW does not hold any material foreign currency assets and therefore exchange rate fluctuations
are not expected to have a material impact on the Companys financial position.
As at 31 December 2022, the GPW Group held PLN 154 million of cash and cash equivalents and short-term financial assets
in the form of bank deposits and guaranteed corporate bonds. These represent sufficient financial resources to conclude that
the Group’s liquidity risk in the short to medium term is low.
Based on the information currently available and the analyses performed as at 31 December 2022, GPW did not identify any
material uncertainties relating to events or circumstances that would cast significant doubt on its ability to continue as a
going concern.
The Company follows and monitors developments related to the armed conflict in Ukraine and analyses the potential negative
consequences of the conflict on the Company’s operations in order to take the necessary measures to mitigate the potential
impact. Given the significant uncertainties arising from further developments in the conflict and the reactions of the
international community and their impact on the economy, the long-term impact of the conflict is impossible to determine
as at the date of these financial statements.
1.9. ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON GPW S.A.
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) identified climate-related issues as one of its priorities in its annual
public position paper setting out the European common supervisory priorities for the 2022 annual financial reports.
Accordingly, the Exchange has analysed the impact of climate change on the Separate Financial Statements and concluded
that climate change has no impact on the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities presented as at 31 December 2022.
In particular, the impact of climate change on the estimates and judgements was considered, including assessment of
impairment of cash-generating units. As a result of the analysis, no need was identified for an update of the useful lives of
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
2.1. FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS
The Exchange is exposed to the following financial risks:
market risk:
cash flow and fair value interest rate risk,
currency risk,
price risk,
credit risk,
liquidity risk.
The Exchange’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to
minimise any potential adverse effects on the Exchange’s financial performance. The Management Board of the Exchange is
responsible for financial risk management. The Exchange has dedicated departments responsible for ensuring its liquidity
(including foreign currency liquidity), debt collection and timely payment of liabilities (particularly tax liabilities).
2.2. MARKET RISK
2.2.1. CASH FLOW AND FAIR VALUE INTEREST RATE RISK
The Exchange is moderately exposed to interest rate risk.
The Exchange invests free cash in bank deposits, corporate bonds, and other instruments where the interest rate is fixed or
floating, negotiated and determined when contracted at levels close to market rates at contracting. If market rates rise, the
Exchange will earn higher interest income; if market rates fall, the Exchange will earn lower interest income.
In the previous reporting period, as an issuer of series D and E bonds with a floating interest rate based on WIBOR 6M, the
Exchange was exposed to interest rate risk. On 31 January 2022, the Exchange redeemed both series of outstanting floating-
rate bonds, which reduced the impact of interest rate risk on the periods financial costs. For more information on bond
liabilities, see Note 3.11.
The Exchange determines the impact of interest rate risk based on a sensitivity analysis assuming a change in interest rates
of 0.5 p.p. (and holding other factors constant). Based on the analysis, the possible impact of a change in financial income
on pre-tax profit was determined. The sensitivity analysis in 2022 showed that an increase in interest rates would result in
an increase in financial income of PLN 1,069 thousand, while a decrease in rates of 0.5 p.p. would result in a decrease in
financial income of PLN 1,194 thousand and the same change of pre-tax profit.
The following tables present an analysis of financial assets and liabilities based on maturity. The value of financial assets is
presented before deduction of expected credit losses (gross amount). The provisions are disclosed in Notes 3.7.5. and 3.7.6.
Financial assets and liabilities that are not presented in the tables below are non-interest bearing.

OREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
The Exchange is exposed to moderate foreign exchange risk. The Company earns income in PLN and EUR. The Exchange
pays costs mainly in PLN and also in EUR, USD and GBP. To minimise FX risk, the Company uses natural hedging, i.e., it
covers the current cost denominated in EUR with cash deposited in a currency account, raised from clients who pay their
debt in EUR. The Exchange used no derivatives to manage FX risk in 2022 and in 2021.
Based on a sensitivity analysis, as at 31 December 2022, a 10% change in the average exchange rate of PLN assuming no
other changes would result in moderate change in the profit before tax, as presented in the table below. A 10% decrease in
exchange rates would result in an opposite change in profit before tax by the following values.

2.2.3. PRICE RISK
Given the nature of its business, the Exchange is not exposed to any mass commodity price risk.
The Exchange is minimally exposed to price risk of held equities measured at fair value. The value of such investments was
not significant as at 31 December 2022 and as at 31 December 2021 (see Note 3.7.3).
2.3. CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is defined as a risk of occurrence of losses due to the Exchange’s counterparty’s default of payments or as a risk
of decrease in economic value of amounts due as a result of deterioration of a counterparty’s ability to pay due amounts.
Credit risk connected with trade receivables is mitigated by the Exchange Management Board by performing assessment of
counterparties’ credibility. In the opinion of the Exchange Management Board, there is no material concentration of credit
risk of trade receivables within the Company.
Resolutions of the Exchange Management Board set payment dates that differ depending on groups of counterparties. The
payment dates amount to 21 days for counterparties.
The credibility of counterparties is verified in accordance with internal regulations and good practice of the capital market as
applicable to issuers of securities and Exchange Members. In the verification, the Exchange reviews in detail the application
documents including financial statements, copies of entries in the National Court Register, and notifications of the Polish
Financial Supervision Authority.
The maximum exposure of the Exchange to credit risk is reflected in the carrying amount of trade receivables, bank deposits,
corporate bonds, certificates of deposit, and other securities. By decision of the Exchange Management Board, the Exchange’s

investment portfolio comprises only securities guaranteed by the State Treasury or issued (guaranteed) by institutions with
a stable market position and high rating (rated above BBB- by at least one rating agency: Moody’s, Fitch, Standards & Poors,
Polska Agencja Ratingowa, EuroRating). In addition, credit risk is managed by the Exchange by diversifying banks in which
free cash is deposited. In this way, exposure to the risk of expected credit loss is mitigated.

For trade receivables, the Group follows a simplified approach and estimates the allowance over the life of the receivables.
For cash and cash equivalents, an allowance for expected credit losses is made in full for an amount equal to 12 months of
expected credit losses. Allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are also subject to a 12-month allowance
for expected credit losses, with the exception of the PAR loan impaired due to credit risk (see Note 6.5.2).

To mitigate liquidity risk, the Exchange Management Board monitors, on an on-going basis, forecasts of liquid assets on the
basis of maturities of assets, due dates of payables, and other projected cash flows. The table below shows the contractual
undiscounted cash flows and therefore the items do not reflect the carrying amounts. The liquidity analysis shows that the
Exchange has a surplus of financial assets over financial liabilities.

2.5. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The objective of the Exchange when managing capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and provide
optimal benefits to all stakeholders. The priority of the Exchange Management Board when making decisions about the
structure of financing and the Company’s dividend policy is to ensure a low level of investment risk while obtaining the best
possible rate of return for the shareholders. Decisions taken by the Management Board in this respect have a long-term
horizon and are aimed at long-term building of value of the Exchange and the Polish capital market. In addition, as an entity
operating a regulated market, the Exchange is required by the Act on Trading in Financial Instruments to maintain a minimum
level of equity equal to PLN 10 million.
To achieve those objectives, the Exchange used third-party capital (interest-bearing liabilities) in the form of bonds issued
(see Note 3.11) and leases (Note 3.6). In addition, in accordance with its internal capital management and dividend policy,
the Exchange pays an annual dividend to shareholders. It is the intention of the GPW Management Board to recommend to
the General Meeting dividend payments in line with the profitability and financial capacity of GPW, not less than 60% of the
consolidated net profit of the GPW Group for the financial year attributable to shareholders of GPW adjusted for the share of
profit of associates. In accordance with the strategy #GPW2022, the Exchange will pay each year a dividend higher by at
least PLN 0.1 per share than the dividend per share paid in the previous year. Details of the dividend payments in 2022 and
2021 are presented in Note 3.10.4.
The Exchange Management Board optimises the structure of capital and monitors performance against targets using
Alternative Performance Measures calculated according to the Guidelines of the European Securities and Markets Authority
(“ESMA”). The measures used by the Company to monitor its capital management performance are presented in Note 6.1
of the Management Board’s Report on the Activity of the Parent Entity and the Group of Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w

3. NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
3.1. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Selected accounting policies
Property, plant and equipment are disclosed at the cost of purchase or production, expansion or modernisation, net of
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Purchase cost includes the cost of purchase, expansion and/or
modernisation. Depreciation is calculated for property, plant and equipment items over their estimated useful life, taking
into account their residual value and using the straight-line depreciation method.
Categories of property, plant, and equipment Depreciation period
Buildings 40 years
Leasehold improvements 10 years
Vehicles and machinery 5 years
Computer hardware 3-5 years
Other fixed assets 5-10 years
The depreciation method, the depreciation rate and the residual value are subject to regular verification by the Exchange.
Any changes resulting from the verification are recorded as a change in accounting estimates, prospectively.
Land is not subject to depreciation.
Property, plant and equipment under construction are fixed assets under construction, installation or improvement of an
existing fixed asset. They are valued at cost or at the total cost directly related to their construction, less any impairment
losses. Property, plant and equipment under construction or development is not depreciated until complete.
A component of property, plant and equipment is derecognised when sold or when economic benefits from its use or disposal
are no longer expected. Gains and losses on disposal/liquidation of property, plant and equipment are determined as the
difference between the proceeds (if any) and the net book value of property, plant and equipment and included in the profit
or loss of the period as other income or other expenses.
Selected judgments and estimates
The Exchange determines the estimated economic useful life and depreciation rates for property, plant and equipment. These
estimates are based on the anticipated periods for using the individual groups of assets. The adopted economic useful life
may undergo considerable changes as a result of new technological solutions appearing on the market, plans of the
Management Board of the Exchange or intensive use.
Vehicles and machinery include mainly IT hardware: servers, computers and network devices.

Selected accounting policies
At each balance sheet date, the Exchange reviews non-financial assets to determine whether there are indicators of
impairment except for inventories and deferred tax assets.
If such indicators are identified, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated (as the higher of: fair value less selling
costs or value in use). Value in use corresponds to the discounted value of the future economic benefits which would be
generated by an asset.
At the end of every reporting period, the Exchange checks for conditions indicating that the impairment losses recognised in
previous reporting periods may be redundant or excessive. In that case, impairment losses are reversed in whole or in part
and the asset value is disclosed net of the impairment losses (but including depreciation).
Impairment losses are recognised in other expenses and reversed in other income.
The Exchange recognised no impairment of property, plant and equipment in 2022 and in 2021. In the opinion of the
Exchange Management Board, there were no indications resulting in an impairment of property, plant and equipment.
3.2. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Selected accounting policies
Intangible assets include goodwill, other intangible assets, and development work.
Other intangible assets (licences, copyright and perpetual usufruct of land) are disclosed at cost of purchase or production
net of accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Intangible assets developed in-house are classified as research (recognised as an expense) or development work (recognised
as an intangible asset). Development work is recognised at cost, which includes all directly attributable costs necessary to
create, produce and prepare the asset to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the Management Board of the
Exchange. Direct costs include the cost of services used for production; depreciation of selected property, plant and
equipment (IT hardware) used directly to produce the asset; and the cost of employee benefits directly attributable to the
production of the asset. Such costs are capitalised when the costs and the related intangible asset meet the criteria of IAS
38.
Amortisation is calculated for other intangible assets over their estimated useful life using the straight-line amortisation
method. The amortisation method and the amortisation rate are subject to regular verification by the Exchange. Any changes
resulting from the verification are recorded as a change in accounting estimates, prospectively.

A component of intangible assets is derecognised when sold or when economic benefits from its use or disposal are no longer
expected. Gains and losses on disposal/liquidation of intangible assets are determined as the difference between the net
proceeds (if any) and the book value of intangible assets and included in the profit or loss of the period as other income or
other expenses.
The Exchange performs an annual test of impairment of intangible assets which are not yet available for use by comparing
the carrying amount and the recoverable amount. For impairment testing purposes, intangible assets which are not yet
available for use are allocated to cash generating units which are expected to benefit from the transaction responsible for
the creation of the assets.
If the carrying amount of an asset (or a cash generating unit) is higher than its recoverable value, impairment is recognised
and the asset value is written down to recoverable value. Impairment losses are charged to the profit or loss of the period
as other income or other expenses.
Selected judgments and estimates
The Exchange determines the estimated economic useful life and amortisation rates for other intangible assets. These
estimates are based on the anticipated periods for using the individual groups of assets. The adopted economic useful life
may undergo considerable changes as a result of new technological solutions appearing on the market, plans of the
Management Board of the Exchange or intensive use. The estimated useful life of intangible assets is 5 years. Useful life is
determined on an individual basis for intangible assets related to the trading system UTP, which has an estimated useful life
is 12 years.

In 2022, the cost of research recognised in the statement of comprehensive income amounted to PLN 4,133 thousand (PLN
3,257 thousand in 2021). Development work is expenditure on intangible assets generated in-house, comprising mainly
expenditure on projects with grants described in Note 6.2.
Universal Trading Platform (“UTP”)
The UTP trading system represents the biggest intangible asset in the category “Licences”. The UTP trading system licence
was commissioned on 15 April 2013. The useful life of the UTP trading system was determined at 12 years (until 31 March
2025). The net value of the UTP trading system was PLN 17,458 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (PLN 25,217 thousand
as at 31 December 2021).
Impairment testing of intangible assetsdevelopment work in progress
Due to the nature of its business, the Company does not identify individual assets as cash-generating units that are largely
independent of other assets or a group of assets. Therefore, for the purposes of testing intangible assets that are not yet
available for use (requirement under IAS 36 para. 11), the recoverable amount was determined at the level of the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs, which is GPW in its entirety. The assets stood at PLN 34,672 thousand as at the
balance sheet date. As at 31 December 2022, the impairment test of the development work in progress identified the need
to recognise impairment losses.
The main assumptions used to determine the value in use of the Company’s cash-generating unit as at 31 December 2022
based on financial assumptions for 2023-2027 are as follows:
increase in revenues and expenses related to operations, planned capital expenditure and implementation of
strategic projects;
weighted average cost of capital of 10.32%,
growth rate after 2027 equal to 2.5%.
3.3. INVESTMENT PROPERTY
Selected accounting policies
The Exchange recognises investment property in accordance with a model based on the cost of acquisition or production.
The investment property relates to part of the building at 4, Książęca Street owned by GPW, which is leased to GPW Group
companies. The fair value of the investment property at 31 December 2022 was estimated at PLN 25,654 thousand (31
December 2021: PLN 12,413 thousand).
Changes in the carrying amount of the investment property as at 31 December 2022 and as at 31 December 2021 were as
follows:

3.4.1. I
MPAIRMENT TEST OF INVESTMENTS
As at 31 December 2022, the Exchange identified indicators of impairment for investments in:
- BondSpot S.A.,
- GPW Ventures S.A.
As indications of impairment were identified, impairment tests were carried out for the investments. The tests identified the
need for impairment allowances on the investment in BondSpot S.A. and GPW Ventures S.A. The key assumptions for the
tests are described below.
As at 31 December 2022, no indicators of impairment were identified for the investments in the other subsidiaries.
Impairment test of investment in BondSpot S.A.
In 2022, the main factor affecting the companys financial performance was the situation on the Treasury bond market,
where bond yields increased almost from the beginning of 2022. From the beginning of 2022, 10-year bond yields steadily
increased in line with the increase in Treasury bond yields in foreign markets. Inflationary pressure supported by an increase
in fuel prices on global markets proved to be an important element supporting the increase in yields of Polish Treasury

securities. The fall in the prices of Treasury bonds, both Polish and foreign, was also influenced by the policy of the US central
bank (FED) pursuing a policy of sharp interest rate hikes.
As at 31 December 2022, an impairment test of the investment was performed. The rationale for the test was to review the
Companys revenue assumptions related to the projects at Bondspot. The cash-generating unit was established as BondSpot.
The test using a DCF valuation of the company was prepared on the basis of the forecast results of BondSpot in the years
20232027. The key assumptions of the test performed as at 31 December 2022:
average annual revenue growth in the period 2023-2027 of 10.3% assuming that BondSpot’s key technology project
will be operational by 2025 (16.6% in 2021),
weighted average cost of capital of 10.32% (7.66% in 2021),
growth rate after 2027 equal to 2.5% (2% in 2021).
The test showed that the recoverable amount of BondSpot S.A. determined using the DCF method is lower than the value of
the shares in BondSpot S.A. recognised at cost in the Exchange’s statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022.
Therefore, the investment in BondSpot S.A. was found to be impaired and an allowance was recognised at PLN 4,305
thousand. With the recognition of the allowance, the recoverable amount is equal to the carrying amount; hence, any
negative change of the key assumptions would require a further allowance.
Impairment test of investment in GPW Ventures S.A.
Due to the delay of the project and in the absence of revenue forecasts for the coming years, an allowance for the investment
was recognised at the net asset value of PLN 2,296 thousand.
With the recognition of the allowance, the recoverable amount is equal to the carrying amount; hence, any negative change
of the key assumptions would require a further allowance.

On 28 June 2022, GPW signed an Armenia Securities Exchange (AMX) Share Purchase Agreement with the Central Bank of
Armenia (CBoA) as well as a Shareholders’ Agreement regarding the participation of the parties to the agreement in AMX.
The Share Purchase Agreement was a conditional agreement. The acquisition of control of AMX was subject to the following
formal conditions:
obtaining approval for the transaction from the Central Bank of Armenia (CBoA),
amendment to the Articles of Association of AMX in accordance with the Shareholders’ Agreement,
opening of a securities account in Armenia by GPW,
payment of consideration by GPW for AMX shares.

The final fulfilment of all conditions took place on 27 December 2022, and on that date GPWs acquisition of 65.03% of the
Armenia Securities Exchange was closed.
As a result of the transaction, AMX’s ownership structure is as follows:
AMX holds 148 treasury shares corresponding to a 9.95% interest in the company’s share capital,
CBoA holds 372 shares corresponding to a 25.02% interest in the company’s share capital,
GPW holds 967 shares corresponding to a 65.03% interest in the company’s share capital.
As a result of the transaction, GPW indirectly acquired control of the Central Depository of Armenia (CDA), in which AMX
holds 100% of the share capital.
The total price of AMX shares acquired by GPW was AMD 873,735,276 or approximately PLN 9.5 million payable in two
tranches:
1. the first tranche in the amount of AMD 498,765,150, i.e., approximately PLN 6.4 million was paid upon the fulfilment
of all conditions set out in the agreement,
2. the second tranche of AMD 374,970,126, i.e., approximately PLN 3.1 million payable subject to the closing of all
litigation and claims to which AMX is a party and which are described in the Share Purchase Agreement. The closing
of litigation is understood to mean the definitive end of legal proceedings or the dismissal of an action and, for cases
not currently pending before the court, the failure to file an action within 3 consecutive years.
The Shareholders’ Agreement provides for a call option for CBoA and a put option for GPW on the acquired shares in AMX.
CBoA may exercise the option in the last month of the closed period if GPW is in material breach of the Business Plan
assumptions, and GPW may exercise the option unconditionally within two months after the expiry of the closed period. The
closed period is defined as 5 years from the registration of the shares.

3.6. LEASES
Selected accounting policies
As a lessee, under IFRS 16, the Exchange recognises as leases all contracts under which the right to use an asset is
transferred for a given term in exchange for a fee. According to allowed simplifications, the Exchange does not apply lease
accounting to:
short-term lease contracts;
leases of low-value underlying assets (“low-value leases”).
Such lease payments are recognised as costs on a straight-line basis in the financial result.
Low-value leases include mainly leases of: computers, coffee machines, office furniture. It is assumed that low-value leases
are those whose unit value does not exceed PLN 20,000, which is approximately equivalent to USD 5,000.
Short-term leases are leases up to 12 months.
For each lease contract, the Exchange defines the lease term as an uncancellable period including:
periods when the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease; and
periods when the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise an option to terminate the lease.
As a lessor, the Exchange recognises lease contracts as an operating lease or a finance lease.
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an
underlying asset to the lessee. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and
rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset to the lessee.
Lease payments from operating leases are recognised as income on either a straight-line basis or another systemic basis.
Income from office space leases is recognised in the amount of monthly rent. Any costs, including depreciation charges,
incurred to earn the lease income are recognised in the financial result.
At the commencement date, assets held under a finance lease are recognised in the statement of financial position and
presented as a lease/sublease receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.
Interest income on leases is recognised in the term of the lease to reflect a fixed periodic interest rate on the net investment
in the lease made by the Exchange in the finance lease.
Sublease contracts are contracts where the underlying asset is re-leased by the Exchange (“intermediate lessor”) to a third
party and the lease (“head lease”) between the head lessor and the Company remains in effect. Sublease contracts are
classified as an operating lease or a finance lease.
The policy applicable to the head lease applies accordingly to finance sublease contracts, i.e., as an intermediate lessor, the
Exchange derecognises the net value and the depreciation of the subleased assets from right-to-use assets in the statement
of financial position and from depreciation in the statement of comprehensive income, accordingly.
3.6.1. Q
UALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT LEASE TRANSACTIONS EXCHANGE AS A LESSEE
The Exchange is a lessee of the following groups of assets:
office space and car park space in the Centrum Giełdowe building, ul. Książęca 4, Warsaw, and office space in Łódź
and Bełchatów;
colocation space (back-up office, racks, server rooms and maintenance rooms);
passenger cars.
Each lease contract is negotiated on an individual basis and contains a broad range of terms and conditions. The terms and
conditions with a significant impact on the value of lease liabilities include:
no fixed term of most lease contracts for space in Centrum Giełdowe (with a termination notice of several months);
for colocation services: contracts with a fixed term (several years) which automatically extend upon expiry as a
contract with no fixed term with a termination notice of several months;
three-year passenger car leases (after the term of the lease, the user has the option to buy the car; if the option is
not exercised, the car is returned to the lessor).

The Exchange’s leases contain no covenants; however, right-to-use assets cannot be used as loan collateral. They provide
for no material variable lease payments which would depend on an index or a rate, the Exchange’s revenue, a reference
interest rate, or which would change to reflect changes to market rents.
In the opinion of the Exchange Management Board, the Company is not exposed to material risk of future cash outflows in
respect of variable lease payments, residual value guarantee or leases not yet commenced. Given the nature of the lease
contracts for space in Centrum Giełdowe (no fixed term) and colocation, if the expected lease period changes, the liability
will be restated accordingly and future cash outflows will increase.
Depreciation charges on right-to-use assets (net of depreciation of subleased assets), increases in right-to-use assets, and
the carrying amount of right-to-use assets by category are presented in the table in Note 3.6.4.
Cash outflows under leases, excluding short-term leases and low-value leases, are presented in the statement of cash flows
as lease payments (interest) and lease payments (principal).
Cash outflows under short-term leases and low-value leases are a cost of the leases recognised in the statement of
comprehensive income.
The Exchange was not a lessee of assets for a term shorter than 12 months (short-term lease) in 2022 and in 2021.
The Exchange incurred no variable lease costs in 2022 and in 2021 that would not be included in the value of lease liabilities.

3.6.2. Q
UALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION ABOUT LEASE TRANSACTIONS EXCHANGE AS A LESSOR
The activity of the Exchange as a lessor and sublessor is not the Company’s core business. As the parent entity of the GPW
Group, the Exchange operates as the Group’s procurement centre, including office space, colocation space, and passenger
cars. Revenue from operating leases and (finance) subleases covers the Exchange’s operating expenses related to the leases.
It is not the intention of the Company to finance its core business with profits earned as a lessor. Consequently, the activity
of the Exchange as a provider of leases should be considered in a broader context, as an activity supporting the Group.
Where the Exchange leases proprietary space to third parties, such lease contracts are classified as operating leases.
Where the Exchange subleases leased space to third parties, such lease contracts are classified in accordance with the head
lease (the Exchange is an intermediate lessor). Consequently, the Exchange recognises sublease receivables and reduces
right-to-use assets under the head lease accordingly (recognised under IFRS 16).
As at 31 December 2022, the Exchange was:
the lessor (operating leases) of office space and car park space to GPW Group members and third parties;
the sublessor of office space and car park space to GPW Group members and third parties;
the sublessor of colocation space to GPW Group members;
the sublessor of passenger cars to GPW Group members.
The Exchange’s operating leases and subleases contain no covenants and right-to-use assets cannot be used as loan
collateral by the lessee. The leases provide for no material variable lease payments which would depend on an index or a
rate, revenue, a reference interest rate, or which would change to reflect changes to market rents.
In the opinion of the Exchange Management Board, the Company as a lessor and sublessor is not exposed to a downside
risk for future cash inflows in respect of variable lease payments, residual value guarantee or leases not yet commenced.
Given the nature of the lease contracts for space in Centrum Giełdowe (no fixed term) and colocation, if the expected lease
period changes, sublease receivables (and the head lease liability) will be restated accordingly and future cash inflows will
increase.
The Exchange was not a lessor of assets for periods shorter than 12 months (short-term leases) in 2022 and in 2021.
Cash inflows under subleases are presented net in the statement of cash flows as sublease payments (interest) and sublease
payments (principal).
Cash inflows under operating leases is equal to revenue from operating leases presented in the table below.

ELECTED JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES RELATED TO LEASES
Lease liabilities and right-to-use assets are calculated using professional judgment including:
determination of the period of lease;
determination of the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate.
For leases signed by the Exchange with no fixed term, the Exchange estimates the most likely period of the lease taking into
account all facts and circumstances which provide an economic incentive to continue the lease. Afterwards, the Exchange
uses judgment to determine if it is reasonably certain that the Exchange will continue the lease on the occurrence of any
event or change of circumstances affecting the judgment.
The Exchange Management Board determined the term of leases using judgment indicating a five-year term of lease of
additional office space occupied by the Exchange in the Centrum Giełdowe building.
The table below presents the impact of change of the term of lease of additional office space and land by 2 years.

The Exchange Management Board determined the lease rate using judgment of the interest rate that the Exchange would
have to pay to borrow, for a similar term and against similar collateral, funds necessary to buy the asset used under the
lease contract. In the opinion of the Management Board, the interest rate on the bonds issued by the Exchange is a reasonable
reflection of that rate. The table below shows the potential impact of a change in interest rate estimates.

IGHT-TO-USE ASSETS
Selected accounting policies
The Exchange initially measures right-to-use assets at cost, including:
the initial valuation of the lease liability,
any lease payments paid at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received,
any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee, and an estimate of any costs to be incurred by the lessee in
dismantling and removing the underlying asset, or restoring the site on which it is located, or restoring the
underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.
After the commencement date of the lease, the Exchange measures right-to-use assets applying a cost model, i.e., at cost
less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. Right-to-
use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
For subleases, the head lease asset is derecognised in right-to-use assets in the statement of financial position and its
depreciation is derecognised in depreciation in the statement of comprehensive income.
Right-to-use assets are presented in a separate line of the statement of financial position. The Exchange groups such assets
by class of underlying asset and discloses the classes in the Notes. The main classes of underlying assets used under the
right to use include office space and other premises, cars and colocation space.

3.6.5. LEASE LIABILITIES
Selected accounting policies
The Exchange measures lease liabilities at the commencement date of the lease at the present value of the lease payments
outstanding at that date. Lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the Company cannot
easily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, it applies its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing
rate of the Exchange is equal to the interest rate that the Exchange would have to pay to borrow, for a similar term and
against similar collateral, funds necessary to buy an asset of a similar value as the asset used under the lease contract.
For the purposes of initial measurement of lease liabilities, the Exchange determines lease payments including:
fixed lease payments and variable lease payments depending on an index or rate;
amounts which the Exchange expects to be paid under a residual value guarantee;
the exercise price of an option to purchase the asset that the Exchange is reasonably certain to exercise;
payments for terminating the lease if the Exchange may exercise an option to terminate the lease according to the
terms and conditions of the lease.
After the commencement date of the lease, the Exchange measures lease liabilities by:
calculating interest on the lease liability,
reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made,
remeasuring the carrying amount of the liability to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.
As a result, each lease payment is allocated between lease liabilities (presented in a separate item of the statement of
financial position, broken down by current and non-current items) and interest cost of leases (recognised in financial
expenses in the statement of comprehensive income).
An analysis of lease liabilities by due date is presented in Note 2.4.

3.7. FINANCIAL ASSETS
3.7.1. CLASSIFICATION AND MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Selected accounting policies
The Exchange’s financial assets are classified into the following categories:
financial assets measured at amortised cost:
cash and cash equivalents,
trade receivables,
receivables from loans granted,
other receivables,
other financial assets (including bank deposits and held-to-maturity corporate bonds and certificates of
deposit);
financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss;
financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Cash and cash equivalents are presented in a dedicated item of the statement of financial position. Trade receivables and
other receivables are presented in trade receivables and other receivables in the statement of financial position. Receivables
from loans granted and other financial assets are presented in financial assets measured at amortised cost in the statement
of financial position.
The assets are classified into those categories on initial recognition. Classification depends on:
the business model of asset portfolio management; and
the contractual terms of the financial asset.
Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from such assets expire or are transferred and the
Exchange transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost are presented in Notes 3.7.4, 3.7.5, 3.7.6.
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are presented in Note 3.7.3.
The Exchange held shares of IDM S.A. in bankruptcy by arrangement received from the debtor in exchange for receivables
and classified them as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss as at 31 December 2022 and as at 31
December 2021. The fair value of the shares was PLN 0 as at 31 December 2022 and as at 31 December 2021.

3.7.2. I
MPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS
Selected accounting policies
At each balance sheet date, the Exchange recognises impairment (expected credit loss) of financial assets. If there has been
a significant increase in credit risk of a financial asset since initial recognition, the Exchange recognises expected credit loss
of the financial asset as an allowance equal to lifetime expected credit losses; otherwise, the financial asset will attract a
loss allowance equal to 12-month expected credit loss.
The Exchange’s impairment allowance for financial assets measured at amortised cost (other than trade receivables) is equal
to the 12-month expected credit loss in view of the low credit risk of such financial instruments. The Exchange considers
cash and cash equivalents, other receivables and other financial assets measured at amortised cost to carry low credit risk
because it only accepts entities, including banks and financial institutions, of a high rating and stable market position (rated
above BBB+ by at least one rating agency: Moody’s, Fitch, Standards & Poors, Polska Agencja Ratingowa, EuroRating).
The Exchange measures expected credit loss of financial instruments taking into account:
an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;
the time value of money;
reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about
past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
The Exchange assesses expected credit losses for assets related to debt instruments measured at amortised cost regardless
of whether there is an indication of impairment. The allowance for expected credit losses is made based on the estimated
ratings of the issuer and the probability of loss assigned to the rating and the amount of loss.
The Exchange applies a simplified approach to trade receivables and contract assets, where impairment allowances for trade
receivables are recognised as equal to lifetime expected credit loss according to a provision matrix. The Exchange’s trade
receivables have no significant financing component.
As at the end of each reporting year, to estimate expected credit loss on trade receivables, the Exchange performs a statistical
analysis of trade receivables by category of clients (Exchange Members, Issuers, other clients) based on historical collection
of debt from counterparties.
In the next step, the Exchange performs a portfolio analysis and calculates for each category of clients a credit loss ratio
based on a provision matrix by age group. The allowance for debt which is not overdue as at the balance sheet date for a
group of clients in a time bracket is equal to the value of trade receivables at the balance sheet date times the credit loss
ratio.
The expected credit loss (or released allowance) required to adjust the expected credit loss allowance as at the reporting
date to the amount that should be recognised is presented in the statement of comprehensive income as gains or losses on
impairment.
The expected credit loss allowance for financial assets classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost is shown as

comprehensive income is shown in other comprehensive income; it does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial
asset.
3.7.3. F
INANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE THROUGH OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Selected accounting policies
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income include:
Equity securities which the Company irrevocably elects to recognise as such on initial recognition.
Debt securities where contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest and the objective of the
Company’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and by selling financial assets.
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise shares in entities over which the
Exchange does not exercise control or exert significant influence. They are disclosed as non-current assets unless the
Exchange intends to sell them within 12 months after the balance sheet date. Financial assets measured at fair value through
other comprehensive income are initially recognised at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. After initial

recognition, they are measured at fair value and any effect of change in the fair value is recognised in other comprehensive
income and presented in equity as reserves. On derecognition, the cumulative profit or loss recognised in equity is taken to
retained earnings after tax. For debt instruments, accrued interest is recognised directly in the statement of profit and loss.

Fair value hierarchy
Selected accounting policies
The Exchange classifies the valuation at fair value on the basis of a fair value hierarchy which reflects the significance of
valuation input data. The fair value hierarchy includes the following levels:
(unadjusted) trading prices on active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1);
input data other than trading prices at level 1, which can be identified or observed for an asset or liability, directly
(as prices) or indirectly (calculations based on prices) (level 2); and
input data for an asset or liability not based on observable market data (non-observable data) (level 3).
The fair value of BVB and ETFs as at 31 December 2022 and as at 31 December 2021 was recognised at the share price
(level 1 of the fair value hierarchy).

cost net of impairment. Trade receivables payable in less than 12 months (from initial recognition) are measured at nominal
value and not discounted.
Other receivables include mainly (current) prepayments. Prepayments are recorded when expenditures incurred relate to
future reporting periods. Prepayments are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the lifetime of the
relevant contract. Receivables which are not financial assets are presented at the amount due at the balance sheet date.
Non-current prepayments are presented as prepayments in non-current assets in the statement of financial position.

Selected judgments and estimates
The calculation of impairment of receivables under IFRS 9 requires judgments necessary to define methodologies, models,
the classification of clients, and other input data.
The Exchange’s trade receivables have no significant financing component. Consequently, impairment as at 31 December
2022 was determined according to lifetime expected credit losses. Based on historical data, the Exchange performed a
statistical analysis of the probability of payment of overdue trade receivables by receivables portfolio. For receivables past
due more than 180 days, the expected credit loss is assumed to be 100% of the past due receivable. For receivables past
due between 90 and 180 days, the expected credit losses is estimated based on analysis of historical data.

The estimated default ratios for clients whose debt is overdue for less than 180 days are as follows:
Exchange Members from 0.11% to 4.11%,
issuers of securities listed on markets operated by the Exchange from 1.71% to 34.97%,
other clients (including data vendors) from 0.15% to 1.58%.
The Company considers that the default ratios estimated on the basis of historical data represent the probability of default
of trade receivables in the future and consequently the ratios were not adjusted.
The Company considers a financial asset to be at risk of default if internal and external information indicates that it is unlikely
that the Company will receive the remaining contractual cash flows in full. A financial asset is written off if there is no
reasonable expectation that the contractual cash flows will be recovered.
The impairment of trade receivables was determined according to the expected loss concept using a provision matrix
described in Note 3.7.2.

The change of the impairment allowance for trade receivables in 2022 was PLN 588 thousand (decrease of allowance) and
was fully recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. The amount resulted from a higher amount of reversal (PLN
1,930 thousand) than creation of allowance (PLN 1,342 thousand).
The change of the impairment allowance for trade receivables in 2021 was PLN 1,489 thousand (decrease of allowance)
resulting from a higher amount of reversal (PLN 3,321 thousand) than creation of allowance (PLN 2,255 thousand); PLN
1,066 thousand was recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in 2021 as gains on reversed impairment of
receivables and PLN 423 thousand were receivables written off as non-recoverable.

INANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT AMORTISED COST
Selected accounting policies
Financial assets measured at amortised cost include: cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, receivables from loans
granted, other financial assets, and other receivables (see Note 3.7.1). Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and
other receivables are presented in dedicated items of the statement of financial position (Notes 3.7.4, 3.7.6). Financial assets
measured at amortised cost in the statement of financial position include other financial assets and receivables from loans
granted. Other financial assets include mainly bank deposits, certificates of deposit and corporate bonds with initial maturities
exceeding 3 months (from purchase/contracting) and corporate bonds with an original maturity of 3 months or less (from
purchase/contracting) considered to be at risk of impairment due to possible changes in the economic environment or the
condition of their issuer and therefore not included in cash.
Interest on financial assets classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost is measured using the effective interest
rate method and recognised in the profit or loss of the period as part of financial income or financial cost.

ASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Selected accounting policies
Cash and cash equivalents are financial assets measured at amortised cost. Cash and cash equivalents include on-demand
bank deposits, other short-term investments with original maturities up to 3 months (from contracting), which are highly
liquid and easily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in fair value.
Cash deposited in a VAT account is classified as cash equivalents as it can be used to pay tax liabilities and can also be
transferred to other current accounts (upon application to the Tax Office).

in those accounts was PLN 7,698 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (PLN 4,389 thousand as at 31 December 2021). Cash
in such accounts is classified as restricted cash.
Cash in VAT accounts is also restricted cash due to regulatory restrictions on the availability of cash in such accounts for
current payments.
The risk rating of cash and cash equivalents is presented in the table below. Due to the fact that the Exchange does not have

Selected accounting policies
Liabilities under bond issues, as well as trade payables and lease liabilities, are financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities at the balance sheet date are valued at amortised cost. The valuation is based on cost at which the liability
was initially recognised less the repayment of the nominal value, adjusted for the cumulative amount of the discounted
difference between the initial value and the maturity value. For instruments at floating interest rates, in relation to the next
agreed re-pricing date (on which the interest rate is determined), it is calculated using the effective interest rate method.
The effective interest rate is the internal rate of return (IRR) of the liability, which is used for discounting future cash flows
of the financial instrument to present value.

3.12. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PAYABLE
Selected accounting policies
Employee benefits payable include retirement benefits and other benefits, including provisions for annual awards and
bonuses and provisions for benefits after termination.
The present value of retirement benefits payable is determined as at the balance sheet date by an independent actuarial
advisor. The calculated benefits payable are equal to discounted future payments taking into account employee rotation as
at the balance sheet date. Demographic and employee rotation data are based on historical figures. Actuarial gains and
losses on employee benefits after termination are included in other comprehensive income.
The Exchange sets up provisions for annual awards and bonuses in order to assign costs to the periods to which they relate.
Provisions are estimated according to the best knowledge of the Exchange Management Board concerning probable bonuses
to be paid based on the framework of the incentive scheme.

As a co-founder of the Polish National Foundation established by 17 State-owned companies in 2016 (“PFN”), the Exchange
is required to contribute annual payments towards the statutory mission of PFN, totalling 11 payments from the
establishment of the Foundation. Payments to PFN are donations and the liability of GPW to make all payments to PFN
according to the founding deed of the Foundation arose when GPW joined the Foundation and signed its founding deed in
2016. The liability was charged to expenses in 2016 and is recognised over time. The liability of the Exchange to PFN was
PLN 5,732 thousand as at 31 December 2022 (PLN 7,062 thousand as at 31 December 2021).
3.15. TRADE PAYABLES
Selected accounting policies
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from
suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year (or in the normal operating
cycle of the business if longer). Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables, as well as liabilities under bond issues and lease liabilities, are financial liabilities. Financial liabilities at the
balance sheet date are valued at amortised cost.

Due to the short due dates of trade payables, the carrying amount of trade payables is similar to the fair value.
3.16. DEFERRED INCOME TAX
Selected accounting policies
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method as tax payable or reimbursable in the future in respect of differences
between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax amounts.
The deferred tax liabilities are recorded in the full amount and are not subject to discounting.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which
the temporary differences could be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the balance sheet date; if expected future
tax gains or positive temporary differences are insufficient to realise an asset in whole or in part, it is written off.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities can be offset when the Exchange has an enforceable right to offset current income tax
receivables and liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax imposed on the same taxpayer
by the same tax authorities.
The Company does not recognise deferred tax liabilities and assets for differences between the tax amount and the carrying
amount of investments in subsidiaries and associates if the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of temporary
differences (for deferred tax liabilities) and it is probable that such differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

3.17. PROVISIONS FOR OTHER LIABILITIES AND OTHER CHARGES
Selected accounting policies
Provisions are liabilities arising from past events whose amount or due date is uncertain. A provision is recognised when the
entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event or it is probable that an outflow of economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the
effect of the change in the time value of money is material, the provision is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks associated with the liability.
As at 31 December 2022, the entire amount related to the provision set up for VAT adjustments. As at 31 December 2021,
there were no provisions for liabilities at the Exchange.
3.18. PHANTOM SHARES
Selected accounting policies
The Exchange maintains a Phantom Share Scheme, which is treated as a cash-settled scheme under IFRS 2 Share-based
Payment. For future payments of the Scheme, a liability is recognised in the statement of financial position under items
relating to employee benefits payable. The liability associated with the shares granted is measured at each balance sheet
date at the closing price of GPW shares on the balance sheet date. Differences in the measurement at fair value at the
balance sheet date are recognised in employee costs in the statement of comprehensive income.
On 29 April 2021, on the occasion of the 30
th
anniversary of the Company, the Exchange Management Board approved a
Phantom Share Scheme (“Scheme”) for GPW employees. The Scheme covers all GPW employees in employment as at 16
April 2021. The total number of phantom shares granted at the beginning of the Scheme was 10,428 shares.
In each successive year of the Scheme, 4 phantom shares are awarded to each Scheme participant as at 16 April and the
only condition for the award is that the employee is employed by GPW. The phantom shares are subject to a lock-up until
the termination or expiry of the employment relationship or until the employee reaches retirement age (“Lock-up Period).
After the Lock-up Period, the employee acquires an unconditional right to receive a cash benefit for the phantom shares
held, at the closing price of the GPW shares on 16 April of the year prior to vesting.
Allocated phantom shares retain the right to dividends. The employee may, by 30 September each year, request a dividend
payment, which is made by 15 October each year. In the event that the employee does not request a payment during the
term of employment, the payment is made upon termination of employment or retirement.

The Exchange Management Board may decide to terminate the Phantom Share Scheme, but not before the end of 2031.
As at 31 December 2022, the estimated number of phantom shares was 10,483 shares (31 December 2021: 10,301 shares).
In 2022, the cost of the Scheme was PLN 12 thousand (year ended 31 December 2021: PLN 621 thousand).
As at 31 December 2022, the Phantom Share Scheme liabilities amounted to PLN 707 thousand (31 December 2021: PLN
743 thousand), of which non-current liabilities amounted to PLN 518 thousand (31 December 2021: PLN 603 thousand) and
current liabilities amounted to PLN 189 thousand (31 December 2021: PLN 140 thousand).
3.19. NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Selected accounting policies
Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of estimated fair value less costs to sell or carrying amount and
are presented in a separate line in the statement of financial position.
If the fair value less costs to sell is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised for the difference.
Subsequent changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss for the period, but may not exceed the previously recognised
impairment loss.
These assets are not depreciated.
In October 2022, the Exchange Management Board decided to sell the GRC System software developed in-house. The
Company took active steps to sell it.
The GRC system is a tool for automated compliance management support, streamlining risk assessment and compliance
processes by reducing the corporate governance, risk management and compliance workload.
As at 31 December 2022, the GRC system is presented under non-current assets held for sale at a carrying amount of PLN
3,336 thousand. Valuation at fair value showed that no impairment loss on the asset was required.
On 1 January 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the asset. The Exchange received PLN 3,808 thousand
from the sale of the GRC System.
4. NOTES TO THE STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
4.1. SALES REVENUE
Selected accounting policies
Sales revenue is recognised at transaction price when (or as) the entity transfers control of services to a customer. All
bundled services that can be separated under the contract with the customer are recognised separately. Any discounts and
rebates of the transaction price are allocated to individual components of bundled services. Depending on whether certain
criteria are met, revenue is recognised:
over time, in a manner that depicts the entity’s performance; or
at a point in time, when control of the services is transferred to the customer.
Revenues from the introduction of shares to trading are inextricably linked to the listing service. As a result, it was decided
that revenue from fees for introduction to trading will be recognised over time during the expected term of contracts with
customers (average listing period). The Exchange defined the average period of provision of the listing service equal to 9
years following a historical analysis of the average period of listing of companies on the Main Market and NewConnect. The
estimate is subject to uncertainty and will be reviewed as at each reporting date.
Other sales revenue is measured at the transaction price specified in the contract. No significant financing component has
been identified due to the fact that sales have a payment term of 21 days, which is in line with market practice. Revenue is
recognised on a one-off basis when the performance obligation is met, which is when the payment becomes unconditionally
due and only a specified period of time is required to receive it. In rare cases, the Company grants deferred payment terms,
but never for more than 12 months; therefore, the transaction price is not adjusted for the impact of a significant financing
component.
Sales revenue consists of three main business lines: revenue from the financial market, revenue from the commodity market,
and other sales revenue.

Revenue from the financial market consists of:
Revenue from trading: revenue from Exchange Members, i.e., trading fees which depend on the type of traded
instruments, the value of transactions, the number of executed orders and the volume of trade. In addition to
trading fees, the Exchange charges flat-rate fees for access to and use of its IT system.
Revenue from issuers: charged under the Exchange Rules and the Alternative Trading System Rules: fees for
the listing of securities, fees for admission to trading, as well as other fees.
Revenue from information services: real-time stock exchange data and statistical and historical data in the
form of subscriptions, electronic publications, calculation of indices, as well as other stock exchange index licenses
and calculations. The sale of stock exchange information is based on separate agreements signed with exchange
data vendors and Exchange Members and other organisations including mainly financial institutions.
Revenue from the commodity market includes mainly revenue from information services, i.e., commodity market data
based on separate agreements signed with exchange data vendors, Exchange Members and other organisations, mainly
financial institutions.
Other sales revenue includes administrative, accounting, HR, IT services for members of the GPW Group, lease of
passenger cars, lease and maintenance of office space, training.
Selected judgments and estimates
The Company grants rebates to Exchange Members under the Exchange’s Technology Development Support Programme. To
be eligible for rebates, Exchange Members must invest in additional technological capacity including among others IT system
and IT infrastructure upgrades or the development of new functionalities relating to brokerage services. Rebates are awarded
to Exchange Members by the Exchange Management Board on the basis of documentation of expenses up to an individual
limit set for the Exchange Member in the Programme.

reduces the value of assets or increases liabilities and provisions, which will reduce equity or increase negative equity, other
than due to withdrawal of funds by shareholders or owners.

ALARIES AND OTHER EMPLOYEE COSTS
Selected accounting policies
Liabilities in respect of current employee benefits (i.e., remuneration, social security charges, paid holidays, sick leaves,
etc.) are charged to costs in the period when benefits are paid.
Furthermore, the Exchange has an incentive scheme, according to which employees have the right to an annual bonus
(dependent on the sales profit and the implementation of bonus targets and linked to the employee’s individual appraisal).
The Exchange sets up provisions for bonuses in order to assign costs to the periods to which they relate. Provisions are
estimated according to the best knowledge of the Exchange Management Board concerning probable bonuses to be paid
based on the framework of the incentive scheme.
The Exchange pays contributions to the Employee Pension Scheme (defined contributions scheme). Employees join the
scheme voluntarily. After payment of the contributions, the Exchange has no further obligations to make payments to the
Employee Pension Scheme. These contributions are charged to costs of employee benefits as they are incurred.
Under the applicable legislation, the Exchange is required to charge and pay contributions towards employees’ pension
benefits. Such benefits are a state scheme which is a defined contributions scheme. According to the Labour Code, employees
have the right to receive a severance pay upon reaching retirement age. Retirement severance pay is paid on a one-off basis
at the time of retirement. Paid retirement benefits are recognised as an expense of the period in which they are paid.
In 2022, the Companys average full-time equivalent (FTE) headcount was 275 FTEs, while in 2021 the average headcount
was 258 FTEs. The tables below provide details of employee costs.

Tax Group (“TG”)
Selected accounting policies
The companies participating in TG are not treated individually but collectively as one corporate income taxpayer under the
Corporate Income Tax Act. Such taxpayer’s income is determined as the surplus of incomes of the companies participating
in TG over the sum of their losses.
While income taxes of the companies participating in TG are no longer paid individually, the companies are still required to
individually pay other taxes including VAT and local taxes.
On 25 November 2016, the Head of the First Mazovian Tax Office in Warsaw issued a decision registering TG for a period of
three tax years (from 1 December 2017 to 31 December 2019). The TG was comprised of the Exchange, TGE, BondSpot,
and GPWB. The Head of the First Mazovian Tax Office in Warsaw issued subsequent decisions extending TG for further tax
years. The Group received the latest decision on 14 December 2022; it concerns the registration of TG for a period of one
fiscal year, i.e., 2023.
As the Company Representing TG, the Exchange is responsible for the calculation and payment of corporate income tax
advances of TG pursuant to the Corporate Income Tax Act.
GPW’s receivables from related parties participating in TG in respect of income tax paid on their behalf were PLN 1,406
thousand as at 31 December 2022 (PLN 2,196 thousand as at 31 December 2021), presented under trade receivables and
other receivables in the statement of financial position.

6.7. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Selected accounting policies
Contingency is a feature of liabilities and assets that are not recognised in the financial statements because their existence
is dependent on the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events that are not wholly within the
control of the Exchange.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation whose existence is yet to be confirmed or is a present obligation that does not
meet the criteria for liability recognition (either because it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required
to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability).
In connection with the implementation of the projects New Trading System, GPW Data, GPW Private Market, TeO and PCOL,
the Exchange presented five own blank bills of exchange to NCBR securing obligations under the projects’ co-financing
agreements. According to the agreements and the bill-of-exchange declarations, NCBR may complete the bills of exchange
with the amount of provided co-financing which may be subject to refunding, together with interest accrued at the statutory
rate of overdue taxes from the date of transfer of the amount to the Exchange’s account to the day of repayment (separate
for each project). NCBR may also complete the bills of exchange with the payment date and insert a no protest” clause. The
bills of exchange may be completed upon the fulfilment of conditions laid down in the co-financing agreement. Each of the
bills of exchange shall be returned to the Exchange or destroyed after the project sustainability period defined in the project
co-financing agreement.
