Basis for drafting the financial statements
Compliance statement
These consolidated financial statements were prepared based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) approved by the European Union.
The Consolidated financial statements of the XTB S.A. Group prepared for the period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025 with comparative data for the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024, cover the Parent Company's financial data and financial data of the subsidiaries comprising the "Group".
These Consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, with the exception of financial assets at fair value and other assets and liabilities which valuation methods are described in the accounting policy. The Group's assets are presented in the statement of financial position according to their liquidity, and its liabilities according to their maturities.
The adopted accounting principles are consistent with the principles of the previous financial year, except for the new standards effective from 1 January 2025.
The Group companies maintain their accounting records in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the countries in which these companies are established. The Consolidated financial statements include adjustments made in order to reconcile their financial statements with the Group's accounting principles.
The Consolidated financial statements were signed by the Management Board of the Parent Company on 19 March 2026.
Drafting this Consolidated financial statements, the Parent Company decided that none of the Standards would be applied retrospectively.
The IFRS comprise standards and interpretations approved by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").
Functional currency and reporting currency
The functional currency and the presentation currency of these Consolidated financial statements is the Polish zloty
("PLN"), and unless stated otherwise, all amounts are shown in thousands of zloty (PLN'000).
Going concern
The Consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the assumption that the Group would continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future. At the date of preparation of these Consolidated financial statements, the Management Board of XTB S.A. does not state any circumstances that would threaten the Group companies' continued operations in the 12 months from the date of signing of this financial statements, with the exception of subsidiary Tasfiye Halinde XTB Yönetim Danışmanlığı A.Ş. in Turkey described in note 1.2.
Comparability of data and consistency of the policies applied
Data presented in the Consolidated financial statements is comparable and prepared under the same principles for all periods covered by the Consolidated financial statements.
The impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East on the Group's
results
On 24 February 2022, Russian troops crossed Ukraine's eastern, southern, and northern borders and attacked Ukrainian territory. In response to Russia's military actions, representatives of the European Union and many other countries imposed severe sanctions on Russia, which primarily target strategic sectors of the Russian economy by blocking access to technology and markets. This situation currently has no significant impact on the Group; however, it has caused significant volatility in financial and commodity markets worldwide, which affected the trading activity of XTB clients and the Group's results in 2022.
In early March 2026, the conflict in the Middle East escalated, resulting in Iran carrying out attacks on infrastructure in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The conflict caused serious disruptions in the transport of approximately 20% of global oil exports. As a result, oil prices rose by 6-10% in the short term, which triggered greater volatility in commodity and financial markets, increasing energy costs for businesses and consumers.
XTB has two subsidiaries in Dubai. The parent company is monitoring their situation on an ongoing basis and currently does not foresee any significant negative impact of this conflict on operations in the region.
Changes in the accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for the application of new or amended standards and interpretations applicable to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025.
Amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates" - lack of interchangeability - The amendment requires the disclosure of information necessary to assess the impact of currency non-convertibility on an entity's financial position - effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2025.
The Group has not decided to apply earlier any Standard, Interpretation or Amendment that has been issued, but has not yet become effective in light of the EU regulations. New or amended standards and interpretations that are applicable for the first time in 2025 did not have a significant impact on the Group's Consolidated financial statements.
New standards and interpretations which have been published but are not yet binding
The following standards and interpretations have been published by the International Accounting Standards Board but are not yet binding:
Amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments - Disclosures" - amendments in the classification and measurement of financial instruments - The amendments clarify when a debt is considered paid off in the case of electronic payments and what terms are permissible in loan agreements. They also clarify the specific nature of non-recourse instruments and those contingent on other agreements, imposing new disclosure requirements - effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2026,
Amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments - Disclosures" - contracts for the supply of electricity from renewable sources - changes to accounting standards clarify how to account for energy purchase contracts under hedge accounting. They also require the disclosure of more detailed information about contracts for electricity from renewable sources - effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2026,
IFRS 18 "Presentation and disclosures in the financial statements" - IFRS 18 sets out requirements for all entities that apply IFRS regarding the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 - not yet endorsed by EU at the date of approval of these financial statements - effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2027,
IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without public accountability: disclosure of information" - IFRS 19 sets out limited disclosure requirements for subsidiaries that are not public entities - not yet endorsed by the EU at the date of approval of these financial statements - effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2027.
Above new standards and interpretations which have been published but are not yet binding do not have a significant
impact on the Group's Consolidated financial statements.
Professional judgement
In the process of applying the accounting principles (policy), the Management Board of the Parent Company made the following judgements that have the greatest impact on the reported carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.
Material estimates and valuations
In order to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, the Group has to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts disclosed in the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions subject to day-to-day evaluation by the Group's management are based on experience and other factors, including expectations as to future events that seem justified in the given situation. The results are a basis for estimates of carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.
Although the estimates are based on best knowledge regarding the current conditions and actions taken by the Group, actual results may differ from the estimates. Adjustments to estimates are recognised during the reporting period in which the adjustment was made provided that such adjustment refers only to the given period or in subsequent periods if the adjustment affects both the current period and subsequent periods. The most important areas for which the Group makes estimates are presented below.
Exprected credit losses and impairment of assets
The Group recognises an impairment allowance for expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9 for all assets measured at amortised cost. This allowance takes into account forecasts and expected future economic conditions in the context of credit risk assessment.
In particular In the event of objective evidence of impairment resulting from events occurring after the initial recognition of financial assets and resulting in a reduction in expected future cash flows, appropriate write-downs are charged to expenses for the current period. The Group assesses the impairment of overdue receivables and recognises a write-down for the estimated value of doubtful and irrecoverable receivables. Information regarding estimates related to the impairment of financial assets is provided in note 16 - Financial assets at amortised cost.
At the end of the yearly reporting period, a review is carried out of fixed assets, including intangible assets, to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If such an indication exists, e.g. due to the expiry of a licence or decommissioning, the Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
Deferred income tax assets
At the end of the yearly reporting period, the Parent Company assesses the likelihood of settlement of unused tax credits with the estimated future taxable profit and recognises the deferred tax asset only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.
The Group recognises a deferred tax asset based on the assumption that a tax profit will be generated in the future enabling its utilisation. Deterioration in tax results in the future might result in the assumption becoming unjustified. The deferred tax asset relates mainly to the losses generated by foreign operations and subsidiaries in the initial period of their operation recognised in the balance sheet. The Group analyses the possibility of recognising such assets, taking into consideration local tax regulations, and analyses future tax budgets assessing the possibility of recovering these assets.
Fair value measurement
Information on estimates relative to fair value measurement is presented in note 35 - Risk management. The fair value measurement framework uses valuation techniques that are appropriate to the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs. The methodology developed by the Group for determining fair value involves adjusting the fair value model to the characteristics of the financial asset being valued.
Other estimates
Provisions for liabilities connected with retirement, pension and death benefits are calculated using the actuarial method by an independent actuary as the current value of the Group's future amounts due to employees, based on their employment and salaries as at the balance sheet date. The calculation of the provision amount is based on a number of assumptions, regarding both macroeconomic conditions and employee turnover, risk of death, and others.
Provision for unused holidays is calculated on the basis of the estimated payment of holiday benefits, based on the number of unused holidays, and remuneration as at the balance sheet date.
Provisions for legal risk are determined individually based on the circumstances of a given case. The Group assesses the chance of winning particular case and consequently assesses the need of establishment of provision in case of a loss in relations to all court cases.
Adopted material accounting principles
Rules of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements contain the financial information of the Parent Company and subsidiaries as at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024. The financial statements of subsidiaries, after adjustments made to ensure compliance with the IFRS, are prepared for the same reporting period as the financial statements of their parent companies, with the application of consistent accounting principles, based on uniform accounting policies applied to transactions and economic events of a similar nature. Adjustments are made in order to eliminate any discrepancies in the accounting methods.
Business combinations
Acquisitions of entities and organised parts of the business are recognised under the acquisition method. Each payment made as a result of a business combination is measured at the aggregate fair value (as at the date of payment) of transferred assets, liabilities incurred or acquired and capital investments issued in exchange for taking over the target. Costs directly related to the business combination are recognised in profit or loss at the time they were incurred.
Identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the target that meet the criteria for disclosure under IFRS 3 Business combinations are recognised at fair value as at the acquisition date, taking into account the exceptions set out in IFRS 3.
In settling transactions under joint control, the Group applies the acquisition method.
Where control is acquired as a consequence of several subsequent transactions, interests held as at the date of takeover are measured at fair value and their results are recognised in income or expenses for the period. Amounts accrued under shares in that entity, previously recognised under comprehensive income, are carried over to income or expenses for the period.
Investments in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are understood as entities controlled by the Parent Company (inclusive of special purpose entities). It is assumed that the Group controls another entity in which the investment was made, when due to its involvement in this unit it is exposed to changing financial results, or when it has rights to variable financial results and the ability to affect the amount of these financial results through the exercise of power over the entity.
Financial results of subsidiaries acquired or sold in the course of the year are recognised in the consolidated financial statements from/until the time of their effective acquisition or disposal.
Any transactions, balances, income and expenses between the entities consolidated within the Group are subject to full consolidation elimination.
Functional currency and reporting currency
Transactions executed in currencies other than the functional currency are entered on the basis of the exchange rate as at the transaction date. As at the balance sheet date, the monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated using the average NBP rate as at that date. Non-cash items are carried based on historical cost.
The Parent Company's functional currency is the Polish zloty, which is also the functional currency of these consolidated
financial statements.
Foreign exchange differences are reported under revenue or expenses of the period in which they occur.
The following exchange rates were adopted for the purpose of measuring assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and for converting items of the comprehensive income statement:

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise bank deposits on demand. The Group classifies as cash equivalent investments which are readily convertible to a specific amount of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and with payment terms of up to three months as of the date of acquisition.
The Group reports cash flows using the indirect method.
Income from interest received on cash and other monetary assets and expenses from interest paid to customers are classified under operating activities, while expenses from interest paid under finance lease are classified under financing activities.
Cash comprises the Group's own cash and customers' cash. Customers' cash is deposited in bank accounts separately from the Group's cash. Customers' cash and cash equivalents are not analysed in the consolidated cash flow statements.
Financial assets and liabilities
Investments are entered as at the date of purchase and derecognised from the financial statements as at the date of sale (transactions are recognised as on the date of conclusion) if the agreement requires their delivery on a specific date set forth by the market, and their initial value is measured at fair value. Transaction costs of the acquisition of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are entered under costs for the period, while the transaction costs of other types of assets and liabilities are recognised at the initial value of these assets and liabilities.
Financial assets are classified as
financial assets at amortised cost,
financial assets at fair value through profit and loss (including financial assets held for trading),
financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial liabilities are classified as:
financial liabilities at amortised cost,
financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (including financial liabilities held for trading).
The Group classifies a financial asset based on the entity's business model for the management of financial assets and characteristics of the cash flows arising from the contract for a financial asset (the so-called "SPPI criterion"). The entity reclassifies investments in debt instruments if, and only if, the management model for those assets changes.
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows;
the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Interest revenue is calculated by using the effective interest method and recognized in profit or loss in position "Finance income".
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets items which do not meet the criteria of measurement at amortised cost are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Profit or loss form measurement of debt investments at fair value is recognized in profit or loss.
Dividends are recognized in profit or loss when the entity's right to receive payment of the dividend is established. The Group falls into this category mainly OTC derivatives and stocks.
Fair value measurement
Fair value is the price that can be obtained at the date of valuation from the sale of an asset or can be paid for the transfer of liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants.
For financial instruments available on an active market, the fair value is measured based on quoted market prices. A market is considered to be active if the quoted prices are generally and directly available and represent current and actual transactions concluded between unrelated parties.
For instruments for which there is no active market, the fair value is determined on the basis of valuation models.
The fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is the transaction price, i.e. fair value of the price paid or received.
Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs, namely:
Level 1 - valuation based on the data fully observable (active market quotations);
Level 2 - valuation models using information which does not constitute the data from Level 1, but observable, either directly or indirectly (quotations for similar assets and liabilities from active or inactive markets);
Level 3 - valuation models using unobservable data (not derived from an active market).
Valuation techniques used to determine fair value are applied consistently.
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises a write-down for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at at amortised cost. An assessment of whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired is made at the end of each reporting period. Expected credit losses are credit losses (ECL) weighted by the probability of default.
ECL allowances are measured at an amount equal to the ECL over a 12-month horizon or the ECL over the remaining life of the instrument if a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or impairment has been identified for them. At the end of each reporting period, the Group analyses whether there is any indication that financial assets should be reclassified to a different stage of the impairment model.
The expected credit loss is calculated at the time the receivable is recognized in the statements and is updated at each subsequent date ending the reporting period, depending on the number of days the receivable is past due.
The expected credit loss calculated at the time of initial recognition of a financial asset and any subsequent increase in the expected credit loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, including bank loans and borrowings, are initially carried at fair value less transaction costs.
Later on, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading if:
it was incurred primarily for repurchase over a short period of time;
it is part of a specific financial instrument portfolio managed jointly by the Group in accordance with the current and actual model for generating short-term profits; or
it is a derivative instrument not classified and not operating as collateral.
An entity may, at initial recognition, irrevocably designate a financial liability as measured at fair value through profit or loss when doing so results in more relevant information.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are disclosed at fair value and the resulting financial profits or losses are entered under income or expenses for the period, and the resulting financial profit or loss is recognised as the income or expenses for the period, taking into account interest paid on a given financial liability.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets include the Group's assets which do not exist physically, which are identifiable and can be reliably
measured, and which will give the Group economic benefits in the future.
Intangible assets are disclosed initially at cost of acquisition or production. As at the balance sheet date, intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment write-offs, if any.
Amortisation of intangible assets is carried out on the basis of rates reflecting their estimated useful lives. The Group has no intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The straight-line method is applied to depreciate intangible assets with a definite useful life. The useful life of the respective intangible assets is as follows:
TYPE DEPRECIATION PERIOD
Software licences 5 years
Intangible assets manufactured internally 5 years
Other intangible assets 10 years
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment include items of property, plant and equipment as well as expenses for property, plant and equipment under construction which the Group intends to use in connection with its operations and for administration purposes, in a period of over 1 year, and which will bring economic benefits in the future. Expenditures on property, plant and equipment include actual capital expenditures, as well as expenditures for future supplies of equipment and services connected with the development of items of property, plant and equipment (prepayments made).
Property, plant and equipment and expenses for property, plant and equipment under construction are initially disclosed at cost of acquisition or production. Significant components are also treated as separate items of property, plant and equipment. As at the balance sheet date, property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less depreciation and impairment write-offs, if any.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, including their components, is carried out on the basis of rates reflecting their estimated useful lives, and starts in the month following the month they are accepted for use. Useful life estimates are reviewed on an annual basis. The straight-line method is applied to depreciate property, plant and equipment. The useful life of the respective items of property, plant and equipment is as follows:
TYPE DEPRECIATION PERIOD
Mobile phones 2 years
Computers From 3 to 5 years
Vehicles 5 years
Office furniture and equipment from 5 to 12 years
Lease
Identifying a lease
At new contract inception, the Group assesses whether the contract is a lease or whether it contains a lease. An agreement is a lease or contains a lease if it transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a given period in exchange for remuneration.
Group have the right to control the use of an identified asset for part of the duration of an agreement only, the agreement contains a lease in respect of this part of the period.
Rights resulting from lease, rental, hire or other agreements which meet the definition of a lease are recognised as right of use underlying assets within the framework of non-current assets with a corresponding lease liabilities.
Initial recognition and measurement
The Group recognises the right of use asset as well as the lease liability on the date of commencement of the lease. On the date of commencement the Group measured the right of use asset at cost. The lease liability on the commencement date shall be calculated on the basis of the current lease payments that are payable by that date and discounted by the marginal interest rates of the lease.
Depreciation
The right of use asset is depreciated linearly over the shorter of the following two periods: the period of lease or the useful life of the underlying asset. However in cases where the Group can be reasonably sure that it will regain ownership of the asset prior to the end of the lease term, right of use shall be depreciated from the day of commencement of the lease until the end of the useful life of the asset.
Impairment
Right-of-use assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset, unless the Group is reasonably certain that it will obtain title before the end of the lease term, in which case the right-of-use is amortized from the lease commencement date to the end of the asset's useful life.
Short-term lease
The Group applies a practical solution to short-term lease contracts, which are characterised by contract term to 12 months. Simplifications regarding these contracts involve the settlement of lease payments as costs on a straight-line basis, for the duration of the lease agreement.
Leases of low-value assets
Low-value assets are considered to be those which have a value when new not higher than PLN 43 thousand translated at the exchange rate of the first day of application, i.e. 1 January 2019 (representing EUR 10 thousand) or the equivalent value in another currency as per the average closing rate of exchange of the National Bank of Poland at the moment of initial recognition of a contract. Simplifications in respect of such contracts are due to the settlement of costs on a straight-line basis for the term of the lease contract.
Provisions for liabilities
Provisions for liabilities are established when the Group has an existing legal or constructive obligation connected with past events and it is probable that the performance of this obligation will result in an outflow of funds representing economic benefits, and the amount of the liability can be reliably assessed, although the amount or maturity of the liability are not certain.
The amount of the provision recognised reflects the most accurate estimates possible of the amount required to settle the current liability as at the balance sheet date, taking into account risk and uncertainty connected with this liability. In the event of measuring a provision using the estimated cash flow method necessary to settle the current liability, its carrying amount reflects the current value of such cash flows.
If it is probable that some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision can be recovered from a third party, such receivable will be recognised as an asset, provided that the probability of recovery is sufficiently high and can be reliably assessed.
Equity
Equity capital consists of capital and funds created in accordance with applicable regulations, i.e. relevant laws and the articles of association. Retained earnings are also included in equity capital.
The share capital is recognised at the value specified in the Articles of Association of the parent company. Unregistered contributions to the share capital are recognised in the parent company's equity and are presented at the nominal value of the contribution received.
The supplementary capital is created in accordance with the Group's Articles of Association from annual deductions from the net profit and can be used to cover balance sheet losses or to pay dividends.
Other reserve capital is created from annual deductions from the net profit. Reserve capital is intended to cover potential balance sheet losses or for other purposes, in particular for the payment of dividends or the acquisition of own shares and their settlement as part of an incentive program.
Exchange rate differences from the conversion of foreign entities are created from differences arising from the conversion of the financial data of foreign entities at exchange rates.
Non-controlling interests are the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent.
Retained earnings are the net profit/loss for the period for which the report is prepared, adjusted for income tax, and the net profit/loss from previous years.
Customers' financial instruments and nominal values of transactions on derivatives (off-
balance sheet items)
Off-balance sheet items include: the nominal values of derivatives in transactions executed with customers and brokers in the OTC market, and the values of financial instruments of the Group's customers, acquired on the regulated stock exchange market and deposited in the accounts of the Group's customers.
The result of operations on financial instruments
The result of operations on financial instruments covers all realised and unrealised income and expenses connected with trading in financial instruments, including dividend, interest and FX rate differences. The result of operations on financial instruments is calculated as the difference between the value of the instrument at the sale price and the purchase price.
The result of operations on financial instruments is composed of the following items:
Result on financial assets held for trading: result on financial instruments on transactions with customers and brokers;
The net income/(costs) on financial assets held to maturity: result on debt securities (interest result calculated using the effective interest rate method);
Discounts for customers and commissions for introducing brokers depend on the actual volume of trading in the financial instruments. This item decreases the result on transactions in financial instruments.
Fee and commission income and expenses
Fee and commission income includes brokerage fees and other charges against financial services charged to customers and is disclosed at the date when the customer enters into a given transaction.
Fee and commission expenses are connected with financial brokerage services acquired by the Group and disclosed at the date when the services were provided.
Cost of employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits, including specific contributions to benefit schemes, are disclosed in the period when the Group received a given benefit from an employee, and in the case of profit distribution or bonus payments, when the following conditions are met:
the entity has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events; and
a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
For paid leave benefits, employee benefits are recognised to the extent of accumulated paid leave, at the time of performance of work that increases the entitlement to future paid absences (provision for unused holidays). Non-accumulating paid absences are recognised when the absences occur.
Starting from 2012, the Parent Company applies the policy of variable remuneration elements for employees whose professional activities have a significant impact on the Parent Company's risk profile.
As part of this programme, XTB offers its participants 100% variable remuneration in the form of shares. The shares are granted as part of the variable remuneration for the financial results achieved by XTB in the financial year for which the Actual Bonus is granted. The Actual Bonus means the actual value of the bonus that has been granted to the participant of the Incentive Programme for a given financial year. Benefits offered in the form of equity instruments whose value is linked to the financial situation of the parent company are paid out within 3 years from the date of granting.
In the case of share-based payment transactions settled in equity instruments, the entity measures the goods received and the corresponding increase in equity at the fair value of the goods received. Costs related to share-based payments are recognised directly in equity.
Finance income and costs
Finance income includes interest income on funds invested by the Group. Finance costs consist of interest expense paid to customers, interest on finance lease paid and other interest on liabilities other than relating to result of operations on financial instruments.
Interest income and expenses are disclosed in profits or losses of the current period, using the effective interest rate method. The only exception is interest on customers' free funds, which is presented in Operating income.
Dividend income is disclosed at the time when the shareholders' right to obtain such dividend is established.
Finance income and costs also include gains and losses arising from foreign exchange rate differences, disclosed in net amounts.
Tax
The entity's income tax comprises current tax due and deferred tax.
Current tax
Current tax liability is calculated on the basis of the tax result (taxable base) for a given financial year. The tax profit (loss) is different from the accounting net profit (loss) because it does not include non-taxable income and non-deductible expenses. Tax expenses are calculated on the basis of tax rates in force in a given financial year and pursuant to the tax regulations of the countries in which the branches of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are located.
Deferred income tax
Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet method, based on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and corresponding tax values used to calculate the tax basis.
Deferred tax liability is established on all taxable positive temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognised up to the probable amount of a reduction in future taxable profit by recognised deductible temporary differences and tax losses or credits that the Group may use.
The value of deferred tax assets is assessed as on each balance sheet date and if the expected future taxable profits are not sufficient to realise an asset or its portion, a write-down will be performed.
Deferred tax is calculated based on tax rates that will be applicable when the asset is realised or the liability becomes due. In the statement of financial position, deferred tax is disclosed upon off-set to the extent that it applies to the same tax residency.

The Group concludes cooperation agreements with introducing brokers who receive commissions which depend on the trade generated under the cooperation agreements. The income generated and the costs incurred between the Group and particular brokers relate to the trade between the broker and clients that are not his clients.
The Group's result of operations in financial instruments is generated from: (i) spreads (the differences between the "offer" price and the "bid" price); (ii)swap points charged (being the amounts resulting from the difference between the notional forward rate and the spot rate of a given financial instrument); (iii) fees and commissions charged by the Group to its clients and swap points charged (being the amounts resulting from the difference between the notional forward rate and the spot rate of a given financial instrument); (iv) net results (gains offset by losses) from Group's market making activities. The table below presents percentage share of income categories in gross gain on transactions in financial instruments.

The country from which the Group derives each time 20% and over of its revenue is Poland with a share of 54,4% (in 2024: 52,7%). Due to the overall share in the Group's revenue Poland was set apart for presentation purposes within the geographical area.

Segment information
For management reporting purposes, the Group's operations are divided into the following two business segments:
Retail operations, which include the provision of trading in financial instruments for individual clients.
Institutional activity, which includes the provision of trading in financial instruments and offering trade infrastructure to entities (institutions), which in turn provide services of trading in financial instruments for their own clients under their own brand.
These segments do not aggregate other lower-level segments. The management monitors the results of the operating segments separately, in order to decide on the implementation of strategies, allocation of resources and performance assessment. Operations in segment are assessed on the basis of segment profitability and its impact on the overall profitability reported in the financial statements.
The Group concludes transactions only with external clients. Transactions between operating segments are not concluded. Valuation of assets and liabilities, incomes and expenses of segments is based on the accounting policies applied by the Group. The Group does not allocate financial activity and corporate income tax burden on business segments.
