Additionally, the Company reports that since Q3 2017, it has started to hedge USD/PLN exchange rate by entering into forward contracts. The transaction is to minimise the level of exchange differences recognised in profit and loss positions in financial revenues and expenses (below the operating profit).
The Company has started to hedge the exchange rates for USD payments to suppliers – in the period between incurring a financial liability (booking of invoice from the supplier) and the invoice payment date. According to the accepted model the hedge of any USD payment will amount to 70% of its volume.
Forward foreign exchange contracts entered into by the Company will be settled with actual currency delivery. The first transactions were completed at the end of June to hedge payments to suppliers falling for the Q3 and Q4 2017.
The amount of the hedged items on the balance sheet as at 30.06.2017 is USD 123 million.
