1 OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY
1.1. Key information on the Company
Predecessor entity of Libet S.A. (further on referred to as the "Company"), Cydia Sp. z o.o. company (from
1 October 2010 Libet Sp. z o.o., from 14 December 2010 Libet S.A.) was established pursuant to the
Notarial Deed No Rep. A 2705/2008 dated 18 March 2008 in the office of the Notary Public - Danuta
Kosim-Kruszewska, Magdalena Witkowska, Spółka Cywilna. The registered office of Cydia Sp. z o.o. was
Warsaw, pl. Piłsudskiego 1, Poland.
During the period from the establishment to 29 March 2010 (date of Libet Group acquisition) Cydia Sp. z
o.o. did not pursue any business activity, was not a parent to any group, and did not have any equity
holdings in other entities. The Issuer’s financial year is the calendar year. On 29 March 2010 Cydia Sp. z
o.o. purchased 100% shares in Libet S.A., seated in Wrocław, ul. Powstańców Śląskich 5, incorporated
under the notarial deed of 16 November 1996 before Hanna Olszewska in Rawicz (Repertory No A
4234/1996). As at the acquisition date Libet S.A. held 100% of shares in Libet 2000 Sp. z o.o.
On 1 October 2010 Cydia Sp. z o.o. merged with Libet S.A. under the conditions of Article 492 § 1 of the
Commercial Companies Code via the takeover of the assets and liabilities of the acquired company (Libet
S.A.) by the acquirer (Cydia Sp. z o.o.). The acquiring entity (predecessor entity of the Issuer) changed its
name to Libet Sp. z o.o. on the same date, and on 14 December 2010 it was transformed into a joint-
stock company (spółka akcyjna) operating under the name of Libet S.A. (further on the "Issuer").
On 21 April 2011 the Issuer obtained a permit of the Board of the Warsaw Stock Exchange for listing of all
its shares, and on 28 April 2011 it was first listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. As at the date of
preparation of these statements the Company's shareholding is presented in par. 1.3 below. Currently,
the Issuer is registered with the National Court Register in the District Court for Wrocław-Fabryczna, 6th
Commercial Division under the number of KRS 373276.
The financial statements of the Company cover the period of 12 months ended on 31 December 2015
and include the comparative data for the period of 12 months ended on 31 December 2014 and as at 31
December 2014, pursuant to the requirements of the Regulation of the Minister of Finance dated 19
February 2009 regarding current and periodic information published by issuers of securities and
conditions of recognising as equivalent the information required by the laws of a state not being a
member state.
1.2. Products and services
Libet is a leading Polish producer of concrete surface materials
manufactured in the technology of vibropressing. Products are offered in three segments:
− premium segment
5
− standard segment
− industrial segment.
Premium products are addressed to the most demanding customers. These include the highest quality
surface materials, such as premium cobblestone (Decco line), terrace slabs (Impressio line) and natural
stone slabs (Patio line). Premium product recipients are mainly individual customers. Such a group of
recipients is able to pay a higher price for premium products than for the standard cobblestone in order to
develop the surrounding of their households using materials of high quality and aesthetic features. A
numerous group of recipients of the premium products are also commercial customers (e.g. shopping
centres) and developers who use Libet's highest segment products to develop lands around their facilities
(e.g. parks, gardens, areas around shopping centres). Standard segment products are addressed to
customers who value the quality of offered products, but at the same time the price is a very important
factor for them while making purchase decisions. The standard segment offers concrete cobblestone,
stockades and elements of small architecture. Recipients of the standard products include both individual
customers and public and commercial sector customers. Products from the standard segment are used e.g.
for the development of parking places, pavements, squares, and also surfaces by public utility facilities and
houses. The industrial segment produces concrete cobblestone, paving flags, concrete paving kerbs,
turfstones and dished channels. Recipients of the products from the industrial segment are almost
exclusively local government units and public institutions. Products from this segment are used also for the
construction of pavements, sideways, areas around roads, parking places.
1.3. Sales markets
Sales are almost in 100% performed on the domestic market. Materials are acquired mainly on the
domestic market. No supplier or recipient has a share exceeding 10%. Suppliers and recipients, apart from
associated entities, are not formally linked to the issuer.
1.4. Related entities and capital expenditures
The Company is a parent company of two companies:
(1) Libet 2000 Sp. z o.o. – 100% in the share capital,
(2) BaumaBrick. Sp. z o.o. – 100% in the share capital.
The parent company and subsidiaries compose Libet Capital Group. The financial statements of Libet
Capital Group were published concurrently with this report.
1.5. Significant events
The economic situation in 2015 was similar to the previous years. Construction and assembly production
decelerated at the end of the year.
Libet reported a significant growth in the volume of production and sales. The Group continued the
implementation of the development strategy for the range of Premium products, e.g. investing and
6
developing the distribution channels via a new partner programme. Distribution channels were secured
implementing the Platinum sale bonus point programme.
Libet continued developing the dedicated sales through large DIY stores. High-margin complementary
products, supplementing the existing offer of the Company, were introduced to the range of products.
The Company changed the method of fixed costs calculation in months in which there is no production
due to the seasonality of the sector in which the Company operates. In 2014, the Company activated fixed
costs relating to December 2014 as costs to be recognised in the following year. A a result of the
reverification of the adopted accounting method, the Company’s Management Board amended the rule
that fixed costs relating to non-productive months may be activated but exclusively within the given
financial year. However, they cannot be shifted between particular years (described in detail in note 37 of
the non-consolidated financial statements).
1.6. Risk factors and threats
The factors that may significantly affect the Company’s results in the following year
include:
1. Macroeconomic forecasts: According to the forecasts the GDP in Poland will grow by 3.6% in 2016
(similarly to the previous year). Current average forecasts of inflation for 2016 total to 0.7%.
2. Situation in the construction sector: In 2016 further improvements will be observable in the
construction sector resulting mainly from the proneness of investors to undertake new
investments, mainly in the developer construction sector. The new budget perspective of the EU
from 2016 will also have a positive impact here, however in the current year we will have to, to a
larger extent, deal with replacement investments, and a higher inflow of the EU funds should occur
just in 2017.
3. New products, trends and development of sales network: taking into account the forecasts of the
cobblestone market dynamics, verified as to the current economic forecasts, an actual growth is on
the level of ca. 3%. At the same time, the greatest drops in 2016 should be expected in the public
sector, hence lower sales volumes will relate in particular to industrial products and Premium
products included in investments.
4. Prices of raw materials and selling prices: in relation to the interviews with cobblestone producers
in 2016 stabilisations are projected in sales and prices in the group of industrial and standard
products. In the Premium product category long-term growth perspectives are anticipated within
volumes and prices.
1.7. Predicted development of the entity
Worsening economic situation and slowdown in the construction dynamics has an observable impact on
the Company's development. In the whole 2015 the Board continued implementing the savings policy as
planned. Detailed analyses of many areas of the Company's operations and renegotiation of numerous less
and more significant agreements, and also performance of production process optimisation activities.
Similar expectations are related to the changes in partner programme conditions for Customers from APS
(Authorised Points of Sale) introduced in 2015. New agreements entail benefits not only for Libet, but for
its all partners. Although the first effects of new terms of cooperation were felt by the Company already in
2015, the more concrete results, relating to a higher loyalty of Customers, are expected just this year. The
effects of investments in the quality of customer service, which is growing due to works of local market
7
development coordinators, will be of some importance as well. Their tasks include creation and
maintaining relations both with wholesale customers and direct recipients, such as developers or
architects.
The Management Board presently sees no grounds allowing to state that the ability of the Group to fulfil
undertaken obligations is at risk, and sees no threats to the realisation of current investment intentions.
1.8. Investment plans
The Management Board of Libet is consistently pursuing the implementation of the long-term strategy of
the Company. In 2016 the Company plans the development in three key areas, in the Board's assessment.
Mainly, making the cooperation with Authorised Points of Sale closer, whose aim is a growth in sales
revenue generated on Premium products. Libet implemented numerous activities aiming at the
enhancement in the efficiency of activities of its key distributors. Cyclic trainings are conducted for
salespeople, Libet designers assist distributors in the preparation of the Premium products exhibition (the
so-called Gardens). The development of new products and product groups is being consistently pursued.
The Company cooperates with many designers and architects. Libet will consistently develop the Stampo
product line - individualised products of architectural concrete designated for demanding customers.
The Company will still focus on the optimisation of production processes in order to increase the margin
levels. Investment tasks will be concentrated on the development of the current Premium products and on
the development of new products from that group.

Sales revenue
In 2015 sale revenue grew by PLN 26,050 thou. as compared to the previous year. It results from the
Company’s development. Also infrastructural investments implemented by local governments indirectly
affected the level of sales revenue.
Costs of operations
In relation to the development of the distribution networks, and focusing on the development of sales of
Premium products the Company generated a higher level of operating costs. The Company invested in the
development of the chain of relationship points (Platinum network), the first results of these investments
are visible both in the higher volumes and higher margin on sales. Premium products are products for the
production of which more expensive materials are used, and at the same time, a growth in the volume of
sold products was connected with the growth in the cost of products sold.
Operating result (EBIT)
Libet S.A. generated the operating profit in the amount of PLN 7,080 thou. as compared to PLN 8,570 thou.
in the previous year. The result was mostly affected by activities connected with a higher volume of
production and development of the sales network.
Other operating revenue and costs
In 2015 the balance of other operating revenue and costs was positive and amounted to PLN 2,911 thou.
The most important impact on the presented balance had a negative goodwill depreciation. (Details in note
18 and 19 of the Financial Statements)
Net profit
The net result for 2015 amounted to PLN 7,127 thou. In 2014 the Company reported a profit in amount of
PLN 3,260 thou. The result was mainly affected by the activities related to the construction of the network
of relationship, the so called Platinum, points. Expenditures on the network development will bring
indicative benefits in next years in the Company’s assessment.

Current liabilities 96,018 111,313 15,295 13.74%
A drop in inventories in relation to the state as at 31 December 2014 (by PLN 4,196 thou.) results from the
inventory management optimisation in the Company.
A higher volume of production in relation to 2015 resulted in a higher by PLN 15,295 thou. level of current
liabilities.

The overdue receivables level was kept with slight time shifts. However, in the Company's assessment it is
not justified to cover the overdue receivables with write-downs due to a number of securities which will
allow to recover the receivables in the case of a permanent discontinuation of settling own liabilities by the
Company's debtors. These include among others avals and liens and bank guarantees.
2.3 Company's cash flows

Net cash flows in 2015 amounted to PLN -652 thou.
Net cash flows from operating activities amounted to PLN 34,025 thou. The greater value of cash flows as in
the previous year was significantly affected by a greater level of non-trade receivables.
Within the investing activities there was an excess of expenditures over inflows mainly in relation to the
implementation of the replacement and repair investments.
Within the financing activities the greatest impact on the cash flows had the repayment of drawn loans.
2.4 Loans and borrowings drawn
In 2015, Libet paid the loan instalments in accordance with the schedules to the loan agreements
being in force.

equivalents, the Company possessed no other significant financial instruments as at 31 December
2015.
2.8 Assessment of financial resources management
The liquidity risk is a risk consisting in problems with settling by the Company its financial liabilities
when due. The goal of the Company is to guarantee, to the highest possible extent, that its liquidity is
always kept on the level allowing for settling the liabilities when due, incurring no unacceptable losses
or a negative impact on the Company's reputation.
