30. Debt-related liabilities

In accordance with ENEA S.A.’s financing model, in order to secure funding for ENEA Group companies’ on-going operations and investment needs, ENEA executes agreements with external financial institutions concerning bond issue programs and/or credit agreements.

Presented below is a list of the Group’s credit facilities and loans:

Presented below is a short description of ENEA Group’s significant credit and loan agreements:

ENEA S.A.

ENEA S.A. currently has credit agreements with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for a total amount of PLN 2 371 000 thousand (Agreement A PLN 950 000 thousand, Agreement B PLN 475 000 thousand and Agreement C PLN 946 000 thousand). Funds from the EIB were used to finance a multi-year investment plan aimed at modernising and expanding ENEA Operator Sp. z o.o.’s power network. Funds from Agreements A, B and C were fully used. Interest on credit facilities may be fixed or variable. ENEA S.A. did not execute new credit agreements in 2021.

On 8 March 2022, ENEA S.A. signed annex 1 to an open-ended overdraft facility agreement with Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, increasing the maximum available credit limit from PLN 250 000 thousand to PLN 750 000 thousand and extending the final repayment deadline from 7 September 2022 to 28 October 2022.

ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o.

Loan from NFOŚiGW – agreement executed on 22 December 2015 for the period from 1 April 2016 to 20 December 2026, with a PLN 60 075 thousand limit. The loan has annual interest based on WIBOR 3M of no less than 2%. The loan was transferred (together with an organised part of enterprise) from ENEA Wytwarzanie Sp. z o.o. to ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. on 30 November 2018.

Total loan-related debt of ENEA Ciepło Sp. z o.o. as at 31 December 2021 amounted to PLN 34 436 thousand (at 31 December 2020: PLN 41 327 thousand).

Presented below is a list of bonds issued by ENEA S.A.

In the 12-month period ending 31 December 2021 ENEA S.A. did not execute new bond issue programme agreements.

On 11 May 2021 the Management Board of ENEA S.A. decided to partially buy back series ENEA0921 bonds before maturity in order to redeem them, with principal amounting to PLN 350 000 thousand, plus interest due and bonus for the bondholders. Series ENEA0921 bonds were issued in the amount of PLN 500 000 thousand on 16 September 2015 as part of the „Program Agreement regarding a bond issue program up to PLN 5 000 000 thousand of 30 June 2014” as amended. The outstanding part of series ENEA0921 bonds, with a nominal value of PLN 150 000 thousand, is held by the bondholders until maturity, i.e. 16 September 2021.

These transactions are described in notes 38.5 and 38.4.

Financing agreements require ENEA S.A. and ENEA Group to maintain certain financial ratios. As at 31 December 2021 and the date on which these consolidated financial statements were prepared and in the course of 2021 the Group did not breach any credit agreement provisions such as would require early re-payment of long-term debt.

Contracts that are subject to IFRS 16 are leases, rights to perpetual usufruct of land, tenancy agreements that meet the definition of a lease (office space in buildings, stations, underground parts of land). The Group sets the lease term, i.e. an irrevocable lease term, together with: a) term for an option to extend the lease if it is sufficiently certain that the Group will exercise this right; b) term for an option to terminate the lease if it is sufficiently certain that the Group will not exercise the right. In most of its leases, the Group uses a lease term in accordance with the contractual period. For contracts executed for an indefinite period, the Group determines the minimum contractual term for both of the parties. If the Group is unable to determine how long it intends to use the asset and such an estimate could be treated as a lease term in the case of contracts with an indefinite term, the Group assumes that the irrevocable contractual term will be the termination period for that contract. In the case of rights to the perpetual usufruct of land, the Group sets the lease term in line with the period for which such rights are granted. In the case of rights to use underground parts of land, the average lease term is used, based on the period outstanding, as at the date on which the liability is recognised, for depreciation of the infrastructure placed under the ground. In 2021, leases also included cars and the renting of parking spots. There is a buy-out option in the case of cars. Car leases have a three-year term. At LBW, a contract to lease locomotives includes a fixed monthly payment for use. The rent payment may be proportionally reduced for periods in which the lessee does not use locomotives with no fault on the lessee’s part. The contract does not contain provisions concerning extensions or buy-out of the lease object after the lease term. The roadheader rental agreement also provides for a monthly fixed fee for use. It can be terminated if the roadheader is not in use for at least 2 months.

The present value of future lease payments is calculated using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If the lease rate is unknown, the Group uses a residual interest rate, i.e. a rate that would have to be paid in order to borrow, on similar terms and with similar collateral, funds necessary to purchase an asset similar to the right-of-use asset on similar economic terms.

The Group may use a practical expedient and not apply the lease recognition model in reference to: a) short-term leases (a lease term of 12 months or less; the contract does not include a right to buy out the asset) b) low-asset value leases the initial value of which for new assets does not exceed PLN 10 thousand (even if their aggregate value is material). If the Group decides to use this expedient, it recognises lease payments as cost on a straight-line basis throughout the lease term or using another approach that more closely reflects the Group benefit. This exemption does not apply to situations where the Group transfers the asset under a sub-lease or expects to transfers it.

The Group does not have significant future cash outflows that are not included in measurement of a finance liability and covenants imposed by lessors. The Group was not a party to any leaseback transactions in 2021.
