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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.1. Financial Statements

The interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 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.

2.2. Changes in Accounting Policies

2.2.1. Adoption of New IFRS Standards in 2021

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.

3. Seasonality of Operations

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.

4. Changes in the Group Structure

4.1. Sale of 100% Shares in Romanian Companies

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.

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):

10. 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 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):

1-3/2021 1-3/2020
Income before other income (expenses) and income
taxes (EBIT) 11,235 18,807
Depreciation and amortization 6,681 7,330
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets 2,051 (256)
Gains and losses on sale of property, plant and
equipment, net * (47) (20)
EBITDA 19,920 25,861

* 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.

The following tables summarize segment information by operating segments for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and at December 31, 2020 (in CZK millions):
