Thanks to the big commitment of all employees I can proudly announce that rail service is back in the game! Activities that focus on improving the comfort and safety of passengers helped us stop the decline in the number of passengers in PKP Intercity S.A. and turned around this undesirable trend. Additionally, we had consistently implemented the PKP Group’s Strategy developed at the beginning of the term of the current Board. The most important event of the past year was the introduction on the Polish railway tracks of a new category of Express Intercity Premium trains, that is, the Pendolino. These modern trains offer maximum comfort. Importantly, we also witnessed significant improvements in travel times between major cities in Poland as a result of modernization works carried out in recent years. We still continue to invest in improving the safety and comfort of travel, hence last year we purchased 40 train sets of Polish production, that will be in use on the tracks as early as 2015. Customer satisfaction surveys confirm that the implementation of the adopted Strategy is delivering the desired results. The number of passengers satisfied with their journey on PKP Intercity S.A. trains has increased by more than half. More and more passengers also appreciate the cleanness and the quality of services at railway stations and on trains, as well as punctuality and shorter travel times. 2014 was marked by record investment in railway lines, rolling stock and stations. Total expenditures for investment purposes in the PKP Group totaled to 9.8 billion PLN. We modernized over 1,400 km of track and and we have completed the building or The most important event of the past year was the introduction on the Polish tracks of a new category of Express Intercity Premium trains, that is, the Pendolino. and property sales led to a further reduction of the historic net debt, which we have already managed to reduce by 80 % since 2012. In 2014 we started other privatization processes – TK Telekom Sp. z o.o. and PKP Energetyka S.A. The past year was also marked by further dynamic development of PKP CARGO S.A., the second largest rail freight carrier in the European Union. A breakthrough in the international expansion strategy of this company was the purchase of the Czech carrier Advanced World Transport B.V. at the end of 2014. It was the first such transaction in the history of the PKP Group. Furthermore, we are actively expanding on the real estate market. In December 2014 the Xcity Investment Sp. z o.o. company was set up. Its activity is dedicated to real estate development projects with a total estimated value exceeding 8.8 billion euro. The Company is poised to become a major player in the real estate development market. This does not mean, however, that the process of change in the PKP Group has come to an end. On the contrary, our plans for 2015 include the realization of investments at the level of 11.3 billion PLN, an introduction of services operated by the technologically advanced electric multiple unit trains by PKP Intercity S.A., the finalization of the privatization processes of TK Telekom Sp. z o.o. and PKP Energetyka S.A. and the development of the PKP Group Strategy for 2015–2018. These tasks also include the preparation of investment processes renovation of 21 railway stations. for the new EU perspective in which more than 10 billion euros By standardizing the management of projects, we have increased has been allocated for rail network development. the level of absorption of EU funds allocated to rail for another year in a row. The amount of funds used totaled more than 5 billion PLN, which is more than double than in 2013. I wish to thank to all employees at the PKP Group, co–workers, contractors and most of all customers who daily verify the results of the work performed.

In 2014, the company incurred capital expenditures of 13.1 million PLN, of which 97.4 % was financed from own funds. The incurred expenditures focused on the RMS project task related to the provision of services to PKP Intercity, the purchase of the HAFAS system and current purchases (mainly computer hardware). In comparison to the previous year the state of tangible fixed assets decreased by 12.7 million PLN. The lower state of tangible fixed assets was primarily the result of separating from the PKP Informatyka structure of its spin–off SPV Projekty Warszawskie division, which resulted in a decrease in the value of the land position by 7.9 million PLN, and buildings, premises and civil and water engineering by 10.7 million PLN.

More than 3 years ago PKP S.A. and the other Companies of the PKP Group began changes, with the aim to transform inefficient (and perceived by most Poles in a negative way) enterprise into a modern and client focused business. At that time, the approach to management was radically changed, where the main determinant was to place the passenger at the center of attention. Travelers already see and appreciate the changes that have taken place in the PKP Group during that time, which is reflected in the increase in the number of railway passengers. In parallel with the optimization of business processes, effective mechanisms to strengthen relations with stakeholders were worked out and the principle of sustainable development was introduced. Railway stations are used as places for exhibitions, perfor- more modern, and at the same time more accessible for mances and concerts. In 2014, at the stations: Wrocław Główny, people with mobility problems.

In 2014, work was also completed on the adaptation of PKP S.A. was the first in the PKP Group Companies to develop and adopt a strategy for corporate social responsibility (CSR). Business objectives do not change: the first is to build a coherent, well–managed and effective organization, but in their implementation the influence that the Company has is taken into account, by taking specific initiatives and actions. For PKP S.A. the most important directions in the CSR strategy are the improvement of safety at railway stations and comfort of travelers and to create a friendly workplace where employees can count on the continuous development of skills and competencies, as well as attention to health and safety. Responsibly managed real estate In keeping with the strategy of corporate social responsibility, for PKP S.A., as the owner of railway property, it is most important to effectively use potential assets. The railway station has to be a safe, clean, comfortable and modern place, meeting the highest standards where the journey for each passenger and encounter with the infrastructure managed by PKP S.A. leave a positive experience. This is achieved through, inter alia, a large–scale program of modernization of railway stations and involvement in development projects. Over the last two years 63 railway stations were completely renovated and restored. Both on new and renovated buildings modern architectural solutions are used, which in the case of historic buildings their unique historic character is respected. The renovations, modernization and aesthetization increase the value of the property, which then affects its marketability and increased interest from potential commercial tenants. The program of modernization of railway stations, for improving the quality of passenger service, their comfort and satisfaction, covers not only the objects in big cities but also in smaller towns. 14 premium category railway stations to introduce selective collection of municipal waste. The premises are equipped with labeled bins and containers, individually selected and matched to the design and arrangement of the particular railway station. This aspect was particularly important for stations under the heritage protection of the conservator (Gdynia, Rzeszów and Tarnów). In 2014, as a response to the requirement that investments be made on the basis of dialogue, taking into account pro–environmental issues, the concept of Innowacyjne Dworce Systemowe (IDS) (Innovative Systemic Railway Stations [ISRS]) was developed. ISRS are established in places where the already existing railway stations are too big and are not adapted to local needs. The single–story railway station buildings are built according to a standard formula, made from recycled elements environmentally friendly and economical to maintain, using ecological solutions such as heat pumps or solar panels. Each ISRS consists of three modules: railway station, In August 2014, the project ‘Świebodzki Targ Kultury’ (‘Świebodzki Cultural Fair’) was completed inaugurating a long–term revitalization of Świebodzki railway station in Wrocław. The railway station area changed into an arena of cultural events, in which the Wrocław inhabitants and guests from all over the country were able to take part in the avant–garde events, such urban and parking. as concerts, lectures, debates, and workshops for children. PKP S.A. ensures that good cooperation with local governments An outdoor cinema was also operated at the station. During is maintained, thanks to which in recent years there has been the holiday season creative workshops for children and youth an increase in the number of railway stations and disused were held also at the Warszawa Centralna railway station. railway lines sold to local governments. Railway stations do There is a particularly noteworthy initiative implemented at not only have the transport function, but are often centers of cultural life, for example, the railway station in Rumia, which is transformed into the so–called ‘stacja kultury’ (‘cultural station’). Currently, at the Gdynia Główna railway station an area is being used to operate a theater run by the City Hall of Gdynia Fundacja Klinika Kultury (Cultural Clinic Foundation). Regular passenger services and occasional tourist rides are organized on the revitalized railway lines, and bike paths and public roads are created on the remaining lines that have been taken over. the railway station in Sosnowiec Maczki, where the Silesian University of Technology and PKP S.A. created a Scientific and Education Center for Rail Transport. The center will educate engineers – specialists for the railway sector. The center’s activity is to significantly contribute to the increase in the competitiveness of this mode of transport in Poland. At the initiative of PKP S.A. in Warsaw a new cultural institution, the Museum Station is being created, where the most interesting collections of rolling stock and heritage rail–related technology will be gathered. 093 094 PK P GROUP | ANNUAL REP OR T 2014 | Corporate social responsibilit y ac tivities Security – the key value PK P GROUP | ANNUAL REP OR T 2014 | Corporate social responsibilit y ac tivities cialized non–government organizations effective measures pation of its employees and clients.
