The composition of gains and losses from commodity derivative trading for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, is as follows (in CZK millions):
| 1-3/2025 | 1-3/2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Gain from electricity derivative trading | 2,824 | 3,464 |
| Loss from gas derivative trading | (804) | (1,149) |

| Gain from coal derivative trading | 1 | 6 |
| Loss from emission rights derivative trading | (182) | (1,000) |
| Total gains and losses from commodity derivative trading | 1,845 | 1,308 |
Reported gains and losses from derivative trading consist of trades with commodities for the purpose of speculative trading, but also trades concluded for the purpose of hedging the gross margin from electricity generation, where changes in their fair value do not enter the hedge accounting scheme mainly due to the uncertainty of the hedged deliveries of electricity from generation sources (where the expected deliveries of electricity may not be produced eventually, but trading positions on electricity and related positions for emission allowances and fuels will be closed, e.g. for deliveries from the Počerady CCGT power plant). Given the high volatility of commodity market prices, these trades have a significant impact on reported gains and losses from derivative trading.

The Group reports its result using four reportable operating segments:
The segments are defined across the countries in which CEZ Group operates. Segment is a functionally autonomous part of CEZ Group that serves a single part of the value chain of the Group.
The Group accounts for intersegment revenues and transfers as if the revenues or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices or where the regulation applies at regulated prices.
In segment reporting, IFRS 16 is applied to external leases from the Group's perspective, but it is not applied to leases between individual operating segments, although in some cases the asset is leased to another segment internally.
The Group evaluates the performance of its segments based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to income before other income (expenses) and income taxes summarizes the following table (in CZK millions):
| 1-3/2025 | 1-3/2024 | |

| Income before other income (expenses) and income | ||

1) Gains on sale of property, plant and equipment are presented in the statement of income as part of the line item Other operating income (Note 11). Losses on sale of property, plant and equipment are presented in the statement of income as part of the line item Other operating expenses.
The Group follows and analyses results of individual segments also based on the ratio of Gross margin, which is defined as follows (in CZK millions):
| 1-3/2025 | 1-3/2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating income | 93,389 | 87,395 |

1) Significant changes of Distribution segment resulting from comparison of first three months of 2024 and 2025 are mainly due to acquisition of companies from GasNet Group.
2) The item contains the line Total sales of electricity (Note 11) and the line Gain from electricity derivative trading (Note 12).
3) The significant year-to-year increase of depreciation and amortization of Generation and Mining segments is mainly due to the change of depreciation method of coal assets. Since October 1, 2024, the Group depreciates coal assets using a method in which depreciation decreases evenly over the remaining useful life (see also Note 2.4 of the Group's annual financial statement as of December 31, 2024).

On April 9, 2025, in accordance with the amendment to the Nuclear Energy Act, the Government Decree No. 98/2025 Coll. was published in Official Collection of Laws which regulates the amount of fees for the imposition of radioactive waste. This Government Decree set up the fee to 88 CZK for one MWh of electricity generated in nuclear plant during the period from January 1, 2026 till December 31, 2030. With regard to this Government Decree the Group recalculated the provision for permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel as of March 31, 2025, and disclosed the change of estimate representing the increase of the amount of the provision and property, plant and equipment in the amount CZK 1,481 million.
On April 17, 2025, the settlement of the sale of interest in Veolia Energie ČR, a.s., was made, based on the sale contract concluded on February 4, 2025 (see Note 6).
On April 30, 2025, the Government of the Czech Republic decided based on The First Implementation Agreement between the state and the companies Elektrárna Dukovany II, a. s., and ČEZ to buy interest of 79.98% in the company Elektrárna Dukovany II, a. s., which is preparing the construction of a new nuclear power plant in the Dukovany site. The settlement of this transaction was made on May 5, 2025. The Group lost control over the company Elektrárna Dukovany II, a. s., and kept the interest of 20.02% representing the significant influence. The following table shows the summary of impacts from the sale, based on balance sheet amounts as at March 31, 2025 representing the best estimate as on the date of the transaction (in CZK millions):

On April 30, 2025, the Group issued 4.125% coupon bonds in total nominal amount EUR 750 million due in 2033. The bond issuance is bound to sustainability. In case that ČEZ would not fulfill the target of emission intensity of 0.16 tCO2e/MWh by December 31, 2030, the premium of 0.75% will be paid by the due date in 2033.
On May 14, 2025, the Board of Directors of ČEZ, a. s., approved a dividend proposal in the amount of CZK 47 per share to be submitted to the general meeting, which will be held on June 23, 2025.
