The following table summarizes the cash flows related to acquisitions in the first six months of 2022 (in CZK millions):

Cash outflow on acquisition of the subsidiaries 392
Cash outflow on investments in companies ŠKODA JS a.s. and Middle
Estates, s.r.o.

On June 16, 2022, the Group paid cash and cash equivalents in the amount of CZK 1,603 million for the acquisition of 100% interests in the companies ŠKODA JS a.s. and Middle Estates, s.r.o. 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 the relevant antimonopoly authorities. The decision of the antimonopoly authorities is expected in the second half of 2022. The purchase price for the interests is fixed. The transaction also includes the indirect acquisition of a 17.39% non-controlling interest in the subsidiary ÚJV Řež, a. s. The company ŠKODA JS a.s. is one of the leading European engineering and manufacturing companies with experience in the construction and servicing of nuclear power plants and is among the important suppliers of ČEZ, 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 June 30, 2022 would have been CZK 33,606 million and the revenues and other operating income from continuing operations would have been CZK 130,624 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.

The following table provides an overview of basic financial information about these transactions (in millions of CZK):

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):

1-6/2022 1-6/2021
Income before other income (expenses) and income

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 the highest credit exposure from the concluded commodity contracts for the purchase of gas from the company Gazprom Export with the seat in the Russian Federation. As at June 30, 2022, the usual mark-to-market value of the commodity contracts was CZK 1,680 million. Taking into account that the quantity delivered in June and July 2022 was significantly lower than agreed in the concluded contracts, the Group assessed the fair value of these contracts in the amount of CZK 449 million. Part of the loss related to the decrease in the fair value of commodity derivatives in the amount of CZK 1,039 million was reported on the line Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading. The remaining part of the loss in the amount of CZK 192 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.

Contracts concluded with the company SEFE Marketing & Trading with the seat in the United Kingdom, formerly Gazprom Marketing & Trading, owned by the German company SEFE Securing Energy for Europe GmbH, formerly Gazprom Germania GmbH, are no longer considered by the Group to be specifically risky with regard to the war in Ukraine, due to the fact that the company is under receivership of the Bundesnetzagentur (German regulatory authority responsible for maintaining and promoting competition in the markets for electricity, gas, telecommunications, postal and rail markets). In this context, SEFE Securing Energy for Europe GmbH was granted a loan in the amount of EUR 9.8 billion by the German state development bank KfW.

16. Events after the Balance Sheet Date

On July 8, 2022, the company ČEZ, a. s., signed a loan agreement with the Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic. Out of the total credit line of EUR 3 billion, EUR 2 billion were drawn during July 2022.

On July 29, 2022, the company ČEZ, a. s., concluded an agreement for the sale of its 50% interest in AKCEZ Enerji A.Ş., which includes three companies engaged in electricity distribution, energy sales and energy services. The settlement of the transaction is, among other things, conditional on the refinancing of AKCEZ's existing debt by the new co-owners. The transaction is subsequently subject to approval by the Turkish Antimonopoly Authority and the country's energy regulator.
