The acquisition of interests from the Russian engineering group OMZ is carried out by the intermediary financial and investment company WOOD & Company Financial Services, a.s., on behalf of ČEZ, a. s., in order to ensure that the sale by the current Russian owner is realized as quickly as possible and that the purchased companies cease to be threatened by sanctions as soon as possible. The transfer of control to the Group has not yet taken place due to the fact that ČEZ, a. s., has not yet received approval for the transaction from all the relevant antimonopoly authorities. The decision of the pending antimonopoly authority of Ukraine is expected in the last quarter of 2022. The purchase price for the interests is fixed. The transaction also includes the indirect acquisition of a 17.39% noncontrolling interest in the subsidiary ÚJV Řež, a. s.

1) In the first half of 2022, the Group started the consolidation of the previously unconsolidated subsidiary Teplo Klášterec s.r.o.

If the acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of the year 2022, net income for CEZ Group as of September 30, 2022 would have been CZK 52,274 million and the revenues and other operating income from continuing operations would have been CZK 211,197 million. The amounts of goodwill recognized as a result of the business combinations comprise the value of expected synergies arising from the acquisitions.

From the acquisition date, the newly acquired subsidiaries have contributed the following balances to the Group's statement of income (in CZK millions):

4.2. Changes in Non-controlling Interests

In the first half of 2022, within several sub-transactions, the Group acquired the non-controlling interest representing a 6.75% interest in the company OSC, a.s., which increased the Group's interest to 100%.

On June 1, 2022, the Group acquired the non-controlling interest representing a 49% interest in the company HORMEN CE a.s., which increased the Group's interest to 100%. The original owners held an option to sell the non-controlling interest to the Group. In such a case, as long as the option is valid, the non-controlling interest is derecognized at the balance sheet date and a liability is recognized, which is measured at the present value of the amount payable when the option is exercised. This option expired, and as a result, the liability was derecognized and the non-controlling interest was booked, which was also immediately derecognized due to the realization of the buyout of the noncontrolling interest.

7. Equity

7.1. Approved Dividends

On June 28, 2022, the Annual Shareholders Meeting of ČEZ, a. s., approved the dividends per share before tax of CZK 48.0. The total amount of dividend approved for distribution to shareholders net of treasury shares amounts to CZK 25,767 million.

7.2. Cash Flow Hedge Reserve

The Group hedges cash flows arising from highly probable future sales of electricity in the Czech Republic in 2022–2027. The relevant hedging instruments are the futures and forward contracts electricity sales in Germany. The fair value of these derivative hedging instruments amounted to CZK (212,378) million and CZK (77,985) million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Group also hedges cash flows arising from highly probable future revenue in EUR for the purposes of currency and interest risk hedging. The following table provides an overview of effects of cash flow hedging on equity (in millions of CZK):

September
30, 2022
December
31, 2021
Hedging of sales of electricity in 2022 (22,787) (43,558)
Hedging of sales of electricity in 2023 (111,232) (18,480)
Hedging of sales of electricity in 2024 (27,410) (3,852)
Hedging of sales of electricity in 2025 (5,758) (876)
Hedging of sales of electricity in 2026 (762) (105)
Hedging of sales of electricity in 2027 (20) (1)
Currency risk hedging and other cash flow hedge reserves 2,567 (340)
Total (165,402) (67,212)

Reported amounts included in equity in relation to cash flow hedging are presented net of tax and with regard to the effectivity of hedging. When the electricity is supplied, the amounts accumulated in equity are recognized in profit or loss together with the associated hedged items. The amounts in profit or loss are recognized before tax on the line Sales of electricity, heat, gas and coal (Note 11) and related income tax is recognized on the line Income taxes. The gain or loss attributable to the ineffective portion is presented in the statement of income in the item Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading.

Therefore effectively, the sale of electricity is recognized in the statement of income when supplied in the hedged amount which corresponds to the hedged amount of sales of generated electricity. Losses or gain from revaluation of derivative instruments hedging cash flow have temporary effect until the electricity is delivered and it mitigates risk of changes in electricity prices during this period.

12. Gains and Losses from Commodity Derivative Trading

The composition of gains and losses from commodity derivative trading for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows (in CZK millions):

1-9/2022 1-9/2021
Gain (loss) from electricity derivative trading 1,957 (18,292)
Gain from gas derivative trading 14,631 8,646
Loss from oil derivative trading (12) (26)
Gain (loss) from coal derivative trading (1) 351
Gain from emission rights derivative trading 1,387 8,916
Total gains and losses from commodity derivative trading 17,962 (405)

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 (see Note 7.2), 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.

14. Segment Information

The Group reports its result using four reportable operating segments:

  • Generation
  • Distribution
  • Sales
  • Mining

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. In 2022 company ČEZ Teplárenská, a.s., was moved from the Generation segment to the Sales segment. The transfer took place in connection with the update of the corporate strategy and concept of the heating industry and with the regard to the predominant business activity of this company. Data by segments for the previous period of 2021 were adjusted to be comparable.

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 reconciliation of EBITDA to income before other income (expenses) and income taxes summarizes the following table (in CZK millions):

1-9/2022 1-9/2021
Income before other income (expenses) and income
taxes (EBIT) 65,190 13,804
Depreciation and amortization 24,275 21,810

Gains and losses on sale of property, plant and
equipment, net * (178) (259)
EBITDA 89,283 47,520

* Gains on sale of property, plant and equipment are presented in the statement of income as part of the line item Other operating income. Losses on sale of property, plant and equipment are presented in the statement of income as part of the line item Other operating expenses.

15. War in Ukraine

Since February 24, 2022, there has been a military conflict in Ukraine. The Group continuously evaluates the potential impacts, including the effects of the consequent sanctions, that have been imposed on the Russian Federation, and takes adequate measures. The impacts on the CEZ Group in the medium term will depend on the further development of the war in Ukraine, on the specific form and duration of sanctions against the Russian Federation and their consequences for European and Czech energy sector. As the main risks for the Group are considered the potential impacts on ensuring the maintenance of generation facilities, securing gas purchases for end customers, nuclear fuel supply, and further with restrictions on the execution of payments and the risk that Russian companies will not be able to fulfill other concluded contracts or make financial settlements according to previously concluded contracts and agreed financial instruments. The Group has taken a number of important measures, due to which the potential impact of the mentioned risks has significantly decreased compared to the situation as of June 30, 2022. In particular, it secured the capacity of the LNG terminal in the Netherlands including commercial securing of transport routes to the Czech Republic, which enables supplies of natural gas covering more than 1/3 of the total consumption of natural gas in the Czech Republic. On September 8, 2022, the terminal was already put into operation. Furthermore, the Group secured alternative supplies of nuclear fuel for the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant.

The Group has the highest direct credit exposure from the concluded commodity contracts for the purchase of gas from the company Gazprom Export with the seat in the Russian Federation. The total recognized loss from these contracts as of September 30, 2022, amounted to CZK 1,926 million. Out of this, the usual markto-market value of the commodity contracts was CZK 1,040 million. Taking into account that there is no quantity delivered under these concluded contracts, the Group assessed the fair value of these contracts in the amount of nil. Part of the loss related to the decrease in the fair value of commodity derivatives in the amount of CZK 920 million was reported on the line Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading. The remaining part of the loss in the amount of CZK 120 million related to the own use contract and was recognized as a creation of a provision for onerous contract on the line Other operating expenses in the statement of income. In addition to these losses, which relate to concluded contracts for remaining future deliveries until December 31, 2022, the Group also realized losses when the undelivered amount of gas had to be replaced by purchases at higher market prices. Already realized losses as of September 30, 2022, amount to CZK 886 million, out of which CZK 762 million is reported on the line Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading and CZK 124 million on the line Purchase of electricity, gas and other energies.
