Financial outlook for the full year 2023

  • EBITDA is expected at CZK 105–115 bn.
  • Net income adjusted for extraordinary effects is estimated at CZK 33–37 bn.

The Shareholders' Meeting approved a dividend for 2022 at the record amount of CZK 145 per share.

▪ The annual Shareholders' Meeting, held in June 2023, approved the highest dividend in the company's history, totaling CZK 78 bn.

Main causes of year-on-year change in EBITDA

GENERATION Segment—Generating facilities (CZK +1.9 bn):

  • Higher gross margin on generation in the Czech Rep. as a result of higher realized electricity prices and change in purchase prices of emission allowances and gas (CZK +13.0 bn)
  • Levy on excess revenues from generation in the Czech Rep. (CZK -11.1 bn)

GENERATION Segment—Trading (CZK -2.4 bn):

  • Lower prop trading margin (CZK -6.5 bn): in H1 2023 it reached CZK +5.2 bn, while in H1 2022 it was exceptionally high at CZK +11.7 bn
  • Negative impact of Gazprom Export gas supply disruption in H1 2022 (+1.2)
  • Other commercial trading and consolidation effects (CZK +2.9 bn): mainly temporary effects due to the revaluation of derivative trades hedging generation and sales positions for the next period

MINING Segment (CZK +2.5 bn):

▪ Higher revenues (CZK +3.7 bn) mainly due to price effects (coal production volume decreased by 1.2 mil tons year-on-year), higher fixed expenses (CZK -1.0 bn) especially for energy

SALES Segment (CZK +2.4 bn):

  • Revenues from litigation between ČEZ Prodej and the state-owned company Správa železnic regarding electricity supplies in 2010 and 2011 (CZK +1.2 bn)
  • Purchase of electricity from RES in the Czech Rep. (CZK +0.8 bn): long-term contracts and development of electricity market prices
  • Sales of energy services and non-commodity products (CZK +0.4 bn)
    • www.cez.cz 4 * This is mainly due to eliminating the effect of hedge of currency risks of ČEZ ESCO (SALES segment) through ČEZ, a. s. (GENERATION segment), where this effect is booked as foreign exchange income and loss (outside EBITDA).

www.cez.cz 12 The forecast of expected generation from emission sources for 2023 does not include the actual expected generation from the CCGT source given the high volatility of market prices for electricity, gas, and emission allowances, and thus the highly volatile expected power plant dispatch.

Emissions of CO2 , SO2 , and NOX from electricity and heat generation have decreased year-on-year

CO2e emission intensity of electricity and heat generation (t CO2e/MWh)

Estimated CEZ Group's emission intensity for electricity and heat generation for 2023 of 0.28 t CO2e/MWh corresponds to:

  • 80% of the emissions of the new CCGT power plant.
  • 43% of emissions produced by the marginal generating facility determining the current electricity market prices in Germany.

Sulfur dioxide (SO2 ), nitrogen oxides (NOx ) (thousand tons)

In H1 2023:

  • SO2 emissions were 2.6 thousand tons and decreased by 23% year-on-year.
  • NOX emissions were 5.3 thousand tons and decreased by 19% year-on-year.

The CO2e indicator corresponds to emissions as defined in "SCOPE 1 of the GHG Protocol". In CEZ Group's terms, these are emissions related to the combustion of fossil fuels in the generation of electricity and heat (CO2 , CH4 , and N2O emissions) and CO2 emissions from transport. The indicator also includes CH4 and N2O emissions from biomass combustion, CH4 emissions from coal mining, and HFC, PFC, and SF6 emissions from air conditioning and other equipment.

Czech Rep. 9.5 9.0 -0.5 -6% 4.4 3.9 -0.4 -10%

Year-on-year effects in H1 (CZK -0.5 bn):

  • Lower gross margin from electricity distribution (CZK -0.2 bn) mainly due to lower volume of distributed electricity reflecting mainly the reduction in customer consumption due to high commodity prices
  • Higher revenue from activities to ensure input power and connection (CZK +0.1 bn)
  • Higher fixed operating expenses (CZK -0.4 bn)

Year-on-year effects in Q2 (CZK -0.4 bn):

  • Lower gross margin on the electricity distribution (CZK -0.1 bn), especially due to lower volumes of distributed electricity
  • Higher fixed operating expenses (CZK -0.3 bn)

Electricity distribution (TWh) Climate- and calendar-adjusted electricity consumption decreased by 4% year-on-year from 18.5 TWh to 17.7 TWh

  • The volume of electricity distributed corresponds to the total electricity consumption in the ČEZ Distribuce area. The company's distribution area covers around 66% of the Czech Rep.'s territory, so the data are a good indicator of total nationwide electricity consumption trends.
  • The recalculated consumption is based on the internal model and volume of electricity distributed by ČEZ Distribuce.

Selected Events in the Past Quarter

Nuclear Industry

  • Following a public tender, ŠKODA JS will become the supplier of the nuclear fuel assembly containers for Temelín after 2028.
  • The company's management has confirmed its intention to operate both existing nuclear power plants for at least 60 years. Projects to enhance nuclear safety (e.g., renewal of cooling systems of both NPPs, installation of alternative long-term heat removal systems), to ensure long-term operation and increase efficiency (e.g. transition to longer fuel cycles of both NPPs, replacement of EDU switchgear or upgrade of ETE's I&C system) are ongoing.

Sustainability and ESG

  • Morningstar Sustainalytics rating improved from high risk to medium risk with a rating of 29.4 (scale 0–100, 100 being the highest risk)
  • MSCI's AA rating (second best rating on a seven-point scale) was retained
  • We currently rank in the 88th percentile within more than 32,000 globally rated companies, according to rating aggregator CSRHub.
  • In June, ČEZ obtained its first loan linked to the ESG rating. The new credit line from UniCredit Bank amounts to CZK 7.5 bn and the condition for a better interest rate is a better rating of the company's business sustainability.

ČEZ Prodej has offered all customers the opportunity to switch to a product that will allow prices below the current government cap from Jan 1, 2024

▪ Customers who have fixed multi-year contracts above the price cap will be able to switch to a regular multi-year contract below the price cap without penalty.

ČEZ Prodej launched a new mobile application MY ČEZ (for Android and iOS systems) on Jun 27

▪ After the My ČEZ web responsive interface, this is the second major milestone in the digitization of self-care solutions.

ČEZ Prodej increased its photovoltaic installations in H1 to 18 MW, representing a year-on-year increase of more than 55% of installed capacity.

▪ The most popular option is the combination of photovoltaics with battery storage. ČEZ Prodej together with the manufacturer OIG Power introduced a new hybrid battery system ČEZ Battery Box Queen. Customers will now purchase a PV plant earlier, with a new battery and only a minimal upfront financial deposit.

ČEZ Distribuce has already connected over 27.6 thousand photovoltaic power plants with an installed capacity of 298 MW to the grid this year.

▪ These are mainly microgenerators up to 10 kW at low voltage level. For the entire year 2022, 21.3 thousand power plants with an installed capacity of 188 MW have been connected.

Definitions and Calculations of Indicators Unspecified in IFRS

In accordance with ESMA guidelines, ČEZ provides detailed information on indicators that are not reported as standard in IFRS financial reporting framework or the components of which are not directly available from financial statements and accompanying notes to the financial statements. Such indicators represent supplementary information in respect of financial data, providing reports' users with additional information for their assessment of the financial position and performance of CEZ Group or ČEZ. In general, these indicators are also commonly used in other commercial companies, not only in the energy sector.

Indicator
Adjusted Net Income
(After-Tax Income, Adjusted)
Purpose: This is a supporting indicator, intended primarily for
investors, creditors, and shareholders, which allows
interpreting achieved financial results with the exclusion of
extraordinary, usually nonrecurring effects that are generally
unrelated to ordinary financial performance and value
creation in a given period.
Definition: Net income (after-tax income) +/− additions to and
reversals of impairments of property, plant, and equipment
and intangible assets (including goodwill write-off) +/−
additions to and reversals of impairments of developed
projects +/− other extraordinary effects that are generally
unrelated to ordinary financial performance and value
creation in a given period +/− effects of the above on income
tax.
Net Debt Purpose: The indicator shows the real level of a company's
financial debt, i.e., the carrying amount of debt net of cash,
cash equivalents, and highly liquid financial assets held. The
indicator is primarily used to assess the overall
appropriateness of the indebtedness, e.g., in comparison with
selected profit or balance sheet indicators.
Definition: Long-Term Debt, Net of Current Portion + Current
Portion of Long-Term Debt + Short-Term Loans – (Cash and
Cash Equivalents + Highly Liquid Financial Assets).
The components of the indicator, except for Highly Liquid
Financial Assets, are reported individually on the balance
sheet, with items related to assets held for sale are presented
separately on the balance sheet.
Net Debt / EBITDA Purpose: This indicates a company's capability to pay back
its debt as well as its ability to take on additional debt to grow
its business. CEZ Group uses this indicator primarily to
assess the adequacy of its capital structure to the structure
and stability of its expected cash flows.
Definition: Net Debt / EBITDA. Net Debt is the amount at the
end of the reported period. EBITDA is the running total for the
past 12 months. And so June 30 value is calculated from Net
Debt as of June 30 and EBITDA for the period from July 1 of
previous year to June 30 of current year.

Most of the components used in the calculation of individual indicators are directly shown in financial statements. The components of calculations that are not included in the financial statements are usually shown directly in a company's books and are calculated as follows:

Highly Liquid Financial Assets—component of Net Debt indicator (CZK billions):

As at Dec 31, As at Jun 30,
2022 2023
Current debt financial assets 9.8 7.0
Non-current debt financial assets - -
Current term deposits 0.1 0.3
Non-current term deposits - -
Short-term equity securities 0.0 0.0
Highly liquid financial assets, total 9.9 7.4

Adjusted Net Income indicator—calculation for periods in question:

Adjusted Net Income (After-Tax Income, Adjusted) Unit Q1 - Q2 2022 Q1 - Q2 2023
Net income CZK billions 33.6 22.3
Impairments of property, plant, and equipment
and intangible assets (including goodwill write
1)
off)
CZK billions 0.0 0.2
Impairments of developed projects2) CZK billions - -
Effects of additions to or reversals of impairments
on income tax3)
CZK billions -0.0 -0.0
Other extraordinary effects CZK billions - -
Adjusted net income CZK billions 33.6 22.5

1) Corresponds to the total value reported in the row Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets in the Consolidated Statement of Income

2) Included in the row Other operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income

3) Included in the row Income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Income

Totals and subtotals can differ from the sum of partial values due to rounding.
