ČEZ, a. s. ("ČEZ" or "the Company") is a Czech joint-stock company, owned 69.8% (69.9% of voting rights) at June 31, 2021 by the Czech Republic represented by the Ministry of Finance. The remaining shares of the Company are publicly held. The address of the Company's registered office is Duhová 2/1444, Praha 4, 140 53, Czech Republic.
The Company is a parent company of the CEZ Group ("the Group"). Main business of the Group is the generation, distribution, trade and sale of electricity and heat, trade and sale of natural gas, provision of complex energy services and coal mining.
The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and have not been audited by an independent auditor. The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statement as of December 31, 2020.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statement as of December 31, 2020.
As of January 1, 2021, the Group did not adopt any new International Financial Reporting Standard that would have a significant impact on Group's interim consolidated financial statements.
The seasonality within the segments Generation, Distribution and Sales usually takes effect in such a way that the revenues and operating profits of these segments for the 1st and 4th quarters of a calendar year are slightly higher than the revenues and operating profits achieved in the remaining period.
On October 22, 2020, a share purchase agreement was concluded for the sale of the interests in Romanian companies Distributie Energie Oltenia S.A., CEZ Vanzare S.A., CEZ Romania S.A. (including its interest in TMK Hydroenergy Power S.R.L.), Tomis Team S.A. (including its interest in M.W. Team Invest S.R.L.) and Ovidiu Development S.A. From that date, the assets and related liabilities were classified as held for sale and tested for possible impairment with respect to the sale price. In the first quarter of 2021, the Group recognized an impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in the amount of CZK 1,145 million, which was reported in the income statement on the line Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (Note 13).
The transaction was settled on March 31, 2021. The total sale price for the shares in the Romanian companies was paid in full and the Group transferred control over the sold subsidiaries.
The following table provides an overview of the impacts related to the derecognition of Romanian companies from consolidation, with the derecognized net assets broken down by operating segments (in CZK millions):

The increase of short-term commodity derivatives in the first half of 2021 is mainly due to an increase in the market prices of emission rights, electricity and gas.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there are any indicators that an asset may have been impaired, or whether previously recognized impairments of assets except goodwill are no longer justified or should be decreased. The result of the analysis updated as at June 30, 2021 was, that the selected assets of the Group could be impaired, especially with regard to the significant growth in the market prices of emission rights in first six months of 2021. In such a case, the Group checks whether the recoverable amount of the item of property, plant, and equipment is less than its depreciated cost, and if so, the Group recognizes an impairment loss in profit or loss in the line item Impairments of Property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.
Based on an updated estimate of recoverable amounts, the Group recognized a total impairment loss of CZK 11,626 million in first six months of 2021.
The impairment loss in the amount of CZK 8,688 million relates to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the cash-generating unit Severočeské doly a.s. The decrease in the value of assets was mainly due to the development of market assumptions concerning mainly a significant increase in market prices of emission rights and a decrease in the expected so-called clean spread (electricity price minus price of CO2 emission rights), which was reflected in lower expected demand for brown coal. The decrease in the carrying amount of assets of CZK 1,034 million relates to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the cash-generating unit CEZ Chorzów S.A. Also here, the value of assets decreased mainly due to the development of market assumptions concerning, in particular, a significant increase in the market prices of emission rights and a decrease in the expected so-called clean spread. The impairment of assets in the amount of CZK 799 million relates to the assets of the cash-generating unit Bulgarian Distribution, whose assets are classified as held for sale (Notes 7 and 17). At March 31, 2021, the Group also recognized an impairment loss of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of Romanian companies held for sale in the amount of CZK 1,145 million (Note 4.1).
Information on the effects of covid-19 on the Group's financial performance is provided in Note 16.

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 in the energy sector. The structure of the segments has changed since 2021. The substance of the change is the merging of the segments Generation – Traditional Energy and Generation – New Energy into a new segment Generation. The main reason is the fact that the development of renewable sources in CEZ Group will take place primarily within existing companies now operating mainly traditional energy, and not in existing companies in the original Generation – New Energy segment or in newly acquired companies. Furthermore, the Support Services segment was abolished, especially with regard to the dissolution of the company ČEZ Korporátní služby. Data by segments for the previous period of 2020 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):
| 1-6/2021 | 1-6/2020 | |

With regard the covid-19 pandemic, the existence of no Group company is endangered and, in general, the pandemic has a relatively limited impact on the CEZ Group. The reliability of the estimate of the long-term effects of the covid-19 pandemic on the CEZ Group is considerably limited due to the uncertainty of the extent of the effects of the pandemic itself and of countries' countermeasures on economic growth, unemployment and debt growth in relevant European countries. In addition, these impacts affect CEZ Group only indirectly; other important factors also play a role apart from measures of the states. The covid-19 pandemic has had and continues to have a significant impact on the wholesale electricity market, which is also affected by other significant macroeconomic and regulatory factors, which further complicates any quantification of the impact of covid-19 on CEZ Group.
The covid-19 pandemic has not yet caused CEZ Group direct losses or significant additional costs (we still estimate the cost of securing pandemic measures at tens of millions of CZK). The pandemic caused a slowdown in acquisition and organic growth in the companies of the Sales segment and generally caused a slowdown or time lag in investments in all other segments, especially in 2020.
From the point of view of the medium-term economic outlook of the Generation segment, the negative impact of covid-19, or impacts of fluctuations in market prices for electricity and emission rights respectively, is limited with regard to the continuous securing of the generation margin for 3 years ahead. As of June 30, 2021, approximately 75% of expected generation for 2022 has been contracted, for 2023 approximately 42% has been contracted and for 2024 approximately 17%. Along with these presales of electricity, the emission rights for emission sources have been contracted.
The impact of the covid-19 in the coming years will depend mainly on the measures taken in individual countries and their impact on the overall development and structural changes of the economy in Europe. However, the approach of European countries to the installed climate goals by the European Commission will be more significant for CEZ Group.
