(“PKP CC”) made a decision to derecognize the provision for liabilities on account of VAT settlements for the period from April 2013 to July 2013 in the amount of PLN 24.4 million, which will be reflected in PKP CC’s profit or loss for Q3 2019.

The decision on derecognizing the provision was made on the basis of the inspection results issued by the Mazowiecki Customs and Tax Office in Warsaw.

The derecognition of the provision will have a positive direct impact on the PKP CARGO Group’s profit or loss for Q3 2019 in the amount of approx. PLN 24.4 million. Due to the non-cash nature of the event, it will have no impact on PKP CARGO Group’s liquidity position.
