Significant factors impacting Q3 2017 earnings (versus Q3 2016):

- decrease of the volume of coal sold by 0.2 million tons, i.e. 11.2 percent, as a result of coal faces’ reinforcement works as well as mining and geological issues (Mining segment),

- significant drop of the costs of redeeming property rights due to the lower price of purchasing green certificates by the Supply segment (as a consequence of the declining market prices of green certificates),

- financial costs due to the negative FX differences on the EUR denominated debt which led to a decrease of TAURON Group’s gross financial result in Q3 2017 by PLN 64 million. In Q3 2016 the FX differences on the EUR denominated debt led to an increase of TAURON Group’s gross financial result in Q3 2017 by PLN 20 million.
