Taking into consideration the receivables due to open derivatives transactions entered into by the Company (excluding embedded derivatives) as at 31 December 2021 and net receivables[4]  due to settled derivatives, the maximum single entity share of the amount exposed to credit risk arising from these transactions amounted to 26%, or PLN 227 million (as at 31 December 2020: 32%, or PLN 317 million).5

In order to reduce cash flows and at the same time to limit credit risk, the Parent Entity carries out net settlements (based on standard framework agreements entered into with its customers, regulating the trade of financial instruments, meaning ISDA or based on a formula of the Polish Bank Association). Moreover, the resulting credit risk is continuously monitored by reviewing the credit ratings and is limited by striving to diversify the portfolio while implementing hedging strategies.

3  Does not concern embedded derivatives.

4 The Parent Entity offsets receivables and liabilities due to settled derivatives, for which the future flows are known at the end of the reporting period, pursuant to the principles of net settlements of cash flows adopted in framework agreements with individual customers.

5 In 2021 the method of calculating the value at credit risk related to derivatives was changed – instead of the positive net fair value, only receivables due to open derivatives (excluding embedded derivatives) are taken into account as well as net receivables due to settled derivatives. The data as at 31 December 2020 were calculated in accordance with the new method.
