Thank you so much. Let me start with a statement that we often use. The future is copper. This is our motto. This is the motto that we as the Board of Management -- as the Management Board have adopted in our daily operations. I would like to say that not only do we take action that is -- that are held over of the past. But we also take actions that help us think positively about the future. We were hoping actually that in the year 2020-2021, we will have a normal time of operation. In 2021, we were hoping for a normal scene. However, it was at that's time that we were on the eve of the war in Ukraine. Actually, for the past 3 years, the contingencies have become one of the major elements of our activity. And the same is true about the year 2021 when the pandemic was still with us and we were in a period of uncertainty. However, at the same time, this was the second year of a test of a litmus paper, you may say, for our activities. And I can say proudly on behalf of the whole Management Board that we have passed the test. I would say that we passed the exam with flying colors. And our financial results would go up, and they have been increasing on a yearly basis. We have noted a 30% rise in the production, and this translates directly into financial results. Let me show you on the slide. If -- this is the year 2021 as opposed to 2020, in the whole mining industry sector, the biggest players on the mining -- in the mining industry sector, an increase in production, Freeport McMoran, we are in -- we come second, KGHM Group, 6% year-on-year. Then we have the Vale Group, Teck. KGHM Polska, without integrated foreign operations, is 3%. All the other companies have either reached their status quo or have not had any rise in production. So we might say we are at the helm of changes, of rises in production in the whole mining industry. In 2021, we reached the best historical financial results for the company. We mine more and more copper. At the same time, we are flexible and we are resilient to macroeconomic change and the geopolitical situation, which is related to either supply chains or the dynamically changing trade. I would like to stress at this point that our personal ambition as members of the Board of Directors is that KGHM is a ship that weathers all storms despite the difficulties, despite the inclement weather. And we want to do this irrespective of the micro and macroeconomic conditions. I would like to stress that previous years, the 2019-2020 was not particularly conducive to our production. Still, despite the adverse macroeconomic context, we were able to reach our targets. We were able to weather all storms. And 2021 in KGHM Group are -- the increases, we have them -- we have compiled them in one single slide. 26% is the increase of our income. EBITDA rose by 56% year-on-year to the level of over PLN 10,327 million. The production of copper rose by over 6.3%. We have managed to lower our debt. This has been an ongoing activity for the past years. We -- at one point, we had -- we were heavily in debt. And now we have been able to say that year-on-year, we decreased our indebtedness. And also, when it comes to the safety of our workforce, in 2021, we increased the safety and security of our staff. We had fewer incidents. We had as many as 23% less of incidents year-on-year. Our strategic objective in this respect, both when it comes to incidents, accidents in the workplace, this -- we really took it seriously. And while we are very happy and proud to have reached the very good financial results, I would say that safety and security comes first. And this is what we really focus on. And this is what we want to upgrade in the conditions that we work, which are, by nature, dangerous. However, the impact of different factors through discipline of work, through the procedures implemented, and through safety and security procedures, we are able to reduce the number of incidents and accidents in the workplace. This -- all of these achievements are -- were preceded by appropriate analysis, by appropriate strategic vision. This is not done by itself. This is the work of executive officers, of managerial staff at different levels in a company like ours, in a company as big as ours. This cannot be an action that goes top down. This has to involve a lot of engagement on the part of all the stakeholders in our company. Those successes that were in the past unimaginable are visible, and they are implemented on a regular basis. Also, our foreign operations, overseas operations, a project that Sierra Gorda project that used to be treated as a burden on our shoulders, I must say that this project was able to give us a number of million of dollars. You can see this. This is the total payoff from the Sierra Gorda project. It's over $417 million in 2021. We have also updated our strategy. We have reviewed the strategy of our company. This is also our intention. We want to adapt and adopt a strategy on a regular basis. We wanted to increase our efficiency and the entire 5E program that we want to use as a leverage tool to increase our presence on the market. Let me mention some of the projects that are related to the sources of renewable energy, and a project that we kicked off recently in our R&D. The use of hydrogen in the mining industry. We also applied for a license concerning wind farms. Strategically, we focus on small nuclear power plants. With a player like us, in the whole network of geopolitical and macroeconomic factors, one of the -- we need sources of energy which are stable, which are predictable, when it comes -- when it comes to supply chain, when it comes to whole year supply. We have cooperated with American -- with U.S. companies. And we would like to have small nuclear power plants being installed in Poland soon by the end of this decade. This is a strategic long-term project that's -- helps us think positively about the future. When you compare this against the current situation, especially in the nonrenewable resources. As you know very well, we have no influence on the price of our key products. This is determined by macroeconomics, by supply and demand, by stock exchange, and so on and so forth. We cannot counter global trends, so we cannot change them. Even though we are a big player, we are still not big enough to forestall all of the aforementioned factors. This is something I deplore, but this is the reality we are faced with. We do influence, we can influence our resilience, our leanness, our weathering the storms, and acting in a way that will be adjusted to the external circumstances. This is what we expect of not only the Board members, but also of all the managers and the staff. We need to be resilient. We need to be flexible. And that's why we have the results that I have mentioned. We are not passively waiting for what the day brings. We want to show you our good and very good results. They have always been like that. Maybe they were not that great as last year, but we have invariably focused on our efficiency. As we were saying, we are very much involved in e-mobility, in eco-friendly sources of energy. And that's why we want to mine as much as possible and we want to tap into the market trends. It's quite clear that we might have some disruptions on the way. Economic progress does not follow a single curve and a single line. And we definitely need to adapt and adjust. As I was saying, we want to tap into the market resources. We have increased our domestic mining by 30%. And this has already translated into very good financial results. Last year, we also finished a key investment. That is the extension of the Ironbridge, which helps us to deposit our resources for the years to come. That we are also ready to work in the Lubuskiem region. We want to do our best. However, other players on the market also do this. So we would like to be present in the Lubusz Voivodeship. Now we also -- we are also finalizing the project of Glogów Gleboki. We are getting ready for another project in [indiscernible]. We are planning a zero-emission mine in Lubuskiem region. Obviously, we cannot do it overnight. We need to think about concepts that will be able to offer us zero or lower emissions. Such benchmarks are already happening in the world. These are the strategic goals that we reach on a regular basis. This is what we also want to achieve through good collaboration of the Board, with our staff, with our employees, with the social sector. And I'm really glad that to share such results with you on behalf of the board of managers, the Management Board. And all the financial results, all the detailed financial results will be given by Andrzej Kensbok, Deputy President for Finances. Thank you.

Good morning, everybody. Just a few words about what's been going on in 2021 in terms of our financial result, but also in terms of production. As the President said, we are a growing company in terms of the mining of copper in 2021. And that is a very important information. In terms of obtaining copper from own resources, that is the specific mining activity of Polska Miedz S.A., adverse trend was reversed. There was a decline in mining, and now we have an increase of domestic mining. This year also showed that we have scrap metal, copper, scrap copper purchased more. That improves the -- our focus on the circular economy. We have been investing on professional processing of scrap metal. Not only high-grade, so-called high-grade scrap metal with a lot of copper, but also polymetallic metal to be able to obtain these elements which are available and which can be later on sold. So there has been an increase in the processing of scrap metal. Also, as the President said, production in Sierra Gorda mine went up, both thanks to geological elements but also thanks to management activities, lower downtime, improved efficiency of processing equipment and also improvement of availability of processing time of machines. As a result, we went up by 6%, 754 tonnes, and by production of copper in domestic, 578, up 3.2%. That gives us a stable growth. Without that, the macroeconomic factors are not good enough. The macroeconomic factors work both ways. There are positive and negative aspects related to them. But if we have an increase in production, we can build on that for the years to come. The key financial indicators is a significant improvement of adjusted EBITDA. Compared to 2020, it's an increase of 56% year-on-year, up to PLN 10,327 million. And there are 2 factors that contributed that. Increase in production, that is #1, what I've just said. Another one that I mentioned is an increase in the price of metals on the global commodity markets. That applies also both to the increase of copper, molybdenum and silver. These factors allowed us to improve the company performance. The revenue is 26% up year-on-year, up to PLN 29,803 million, and while the net result is PLN 6,155 million. That's consolidated. Of which, PLN 5 billion over is a contribution of KGHM S.A. company. Going into more details. Into the bridge between 2020 and 2021, the fundamental drivers are naturally change in revenue, a positive change in revenue, which was offset by an increase in costs in 2 areas. One is foreign inputs, because we buy third-party concentrates and third-party scrap metal, which is based on international commodity prices. There has been also an increase in electricity prices and energy as such: gas, coke, coal. These are factors that are independent. We have a hedging policy related to gas and electricity prices. However, that hedging policy has a lag of some sort. Some transactions, some hedging transactions are not available. Therefore, we are under the same pressure as the whole economy related to an increase in electricity prices and energy prices. Another important factor is the change of work in progress. This is an accounting effect. And then we have also the result of joint ventures, PLN 2,627 million. And this is the reversal of the loan, the valuation of the loans given to foreign companies. and it's also the reversal of the valuation of the shares in the total amount of PLN 2.3 billion. So this is a positive result. The other PLN 300 million is a contribution of other group companies, which basically means the profit of daughter companies that contribute to the overall result of the group. In terms of derivatives, the result on derivatives, that is just a valuation exercise. The influence from the valuation has been included earlier. This is just the derivative. Foreign exchange differences, a positive increase. CIT change, that naturally is negative, because with a higher profit, we have a higher corporate income tax. But overall, the result is positive, where the profit going up to PLN 6.155 billion in 2021. So this is in brief, up from PLN 1.7 billion. All business divisions, all business segment had positive contribution to the result of the areas, which required adjustments, have the adjustment made. As a result of years of work aimed at the improvement of mining conditions and operations, we believe this is a breakthrough year, which proves that even in hard times, the company is able to face the headwinds and work out a positive result. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much as well. Ladies and gentlemen, according to the previous announcement, I would like to open discussions which will cover the items number and 6 on the agenda. Are there any persons interested to raise any matters on these items? I see no requests, which means that the statements and the proposals have been presented to the AGM and AGM considered these requests to the relevant extent. Item 7 is the presentation of a report on representation expenses, expenses incurred in legal services, marketing services, public relation services, and social communication, as well as advisory services associated with management in 2021 and the opinion of the Supervisory Board of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. The document mentioned in Item 7 was published well ahead of time. Therefore, I gather that anyone who had the need of going through that document did that. Are there any persons who wish to raise any comments related to that?

Mr. Chairman, in Item 6, I probably as President of the Board should actually recommend the appropriation of profit. So I'm not sure whether we shouldn't go back to Item 6 of the agenda.

Andrzej Leganowicz

#12

Well, the -- I mentioned -- the report mentioned earlier and published by the company. Therefore, yes, what is your recommendation?

Andrzej Kensbok

#13

Ladies and gentlemen, given the profit on behalf of the Board, we recommend to appropriate the profit for 2021 in the amount of PLN 5,169,153,267.61 to be appropriated as shareholders' dividend, PLN 600 million and as a spare capital of the company, PLN 4,569,153,267.61. That information was made public, as I mentioned earlier. This is the Board's recommendation. In the course of the discussion, no one commented on that motion. Therefore, there are no opinions on that matter. Does anyone want to say anything about the report that is mentioned in Item 7 of the agenda? I can see that no one is. So I deem that the report mentioned in Item 7 has been presented to the AGM. Item 7 of the agenda is the -- is a review of the report of the Supervisory Board of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. on the results of its evaluation of the financial statements of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. for '21. The consolidated financial statements of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. Group for '21 and the Management Board's report on the activities of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A and the KGHM Polska Miedz S.A Group in [ 2021 ] as well as the nonfinancial report of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A and KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. Group for 2021. The documents mentioned in Item 8 was published by the company ahead of time, well in advance, as earlier. So I gather that people who were interested in the content of that report familiarize themselves with it. Therefore, are there any opinions or are there any comments related to this report? There are no comments, no opinion. So I shall find that the reports mentioned in Item 7 have been presented, #1, to the AGM and have been considered to the relevant extent by the AGM. Item 9 of the agenda is a review of the report of the Supervisory Board on the results of its evaluation of the proposal of the Management Board of KGHM SM regarding the appropriation of profit. That report, as previously, was published by the company in advance. So all interested parties had opportunity to go through it. Would any of you want to comment or discuss that document? I see there are no people who'd like to comment it. Therefore, I deem that the report mentioned in Item 7 has been presented to the AGM and has been considered to the relevant effect. Item 10 of the agenda provides further presentation by the Supervisory Board of the assessment of the standing of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. for 2021 on a consolidated basis, including an evaluation of the internal control, risk management, compliance systems and the internal audit function, with information on actions taken by the Supervisory Board of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. in performing this assessment. Subsection D, a report on the activities of the Supervisory Board of KGHM Polska miedz s.A. for 2021, and Subsection C, a report on the remuneration of the Management Board and Supervisory Board of KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. for 2021. These documents that are referred to in Item 10 have been published in advance by the company, all interested parties had opportunity to go through these documents. Would anyone want to raise any objections or any comments related to the wording of these documents? If not, I can see no one has any opinions. There being no questions. I deem that the report referred to in Item 10 is -- has been accepted without any objections by the AGM.
