PRESENTATION ON CEZ GROUP FINANCIAL RESULTS IN Q1–Q3 2020
NONAUDITED CONSOLIDATED RESULTS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS)
November 10, 2020

ČEZ took adequate measures in time to be able to supply electricity under any circumstances. A number of measures that have been taken in Czechia and abroad are coordinated with national crisis staff.
WE PROTECT CEZ GROUP OPERATIONS AND PERSONNEL
- A special crisis team assesses the situation continually and introduces necessary measures depending on developments in the epidemic.
- Wearing a mask and keeping a safe distance is obligatory on all shared ČEZ premises. We have minimized contact by introducing work from home and online meetings and training.
- Measures at power plants prevent contact between teams: separate workplaces, contactless shift changeover. Nuclear power plants in special mode since the spring.
- Employees' body temperature taken when they report for work at power plants and call centers.
- External visits and field trips to operation premises forbidden.
- Adopted measures allow successful performance of a refueling outage at Dukovany Unit 2 even in these days. Hundreds of employees and outsourcers have been working on thousands of equipment checks since Sep 26, 2020.
WE HELP OTHERS
- ČEZ Prodej has been helping public health offices with COVID-19 contact tracing and the communication of test results in Czechia since Sep 29. It trained 68 operators for these activities.
- Due to an increased number of customers working from home, we limit outages in ČEZ Distribuce's grid to a minimum necessary for maintaining proper grid operation or repairing faults caused, for example, by wind until further notice.
- We support online education by, for example, purchasing tablets for children at school or distributing data SIMs to school children with poor Internet access.
- The ČEZ Foundation keeps helping vulnerable groups of people; employee collections for vulnerable groups abroad.

YEAR-ON-YEAR CHANGE IN EBITDA
BY SEGMENT (INCL. STRATEGIC VS. OTHER ASSETS)

Main Causes of Year-on-Year Change in Q1–Q3 EBITDA
Strategic assets (CEZ Group except for companies intended for sale under the valid strategy from 2019)
- Higher realization prices of generated electricity, including the effect of hedges in Czechia and commodity trading (CZK +7.9 bn)
- Higher expenses on emission allowances for generation in Czechia (CZK -2.9 bn) due to increased purchase prices and lower allocation of free allowances
- Decreased revenue from coal sales (CZK -1.3 bn); lower generation at non-nuclear generating facilities in Czechia (CZK -1.3 bn), higher generation at nuclear power plants (CZK +0.5 bn)
- Effect of a 2019 court ruling under which the payment of SŽDC's liability to ČEZ Prodej from 2010 had to be paid back incl. interest and costs (CZK +1.3 bn)
Assets held for sale (Romanian, Bulgarian, and Polish companies other than ESCOs)
- Higher EBITDA of Romanian and Bulgarian distribution (CZK +0.7 bn) especially due to lower costs to cover network losses and higher revenues from electricity distribution
- Higher gross margin on electricity generation at Romanian wind parks due to both higher generation and higher realization prices (CZK +0.6 bn)

ČEZ ACCELERATED THE SALE OF THE POČERADY POWER PLANT BY 3 YEARS AND AGREED WITH THE BUYER TO TERMINATE A COAL SUPPLY CONTRACT

Subject Matter of the Transaction
- ČEZ and Vršanská uhelná from the Sev.en group have agreed that the coal-fired Počerady power plant will be transferred to Vršanská uhelná at a higher purchase price as of Dec 31, 2020. Under a previously valid contract, this was to happen on Jan 2, 2024.
- ČEZ has thus taken another major step under its strategy of gradually moving away from coal-fired power plants and switching to low-emission or zero-emission facilities. Its motivation was also new BAT/BREF limits applicable from mid-2021, requiring major capital expenditure, and further increase in CO2 emission reduction targets announced by the EC, which resulted in deteriorated financial performance outlooks for coal-fired facilities in both Europe and Czechia. The EC's step resulted in a significant increase in the market prices of CO2 emission allowances and a decrease in margin on electricity generation at coal-fired power plants (also resulting from the European economy's slowdown due to COVID-19).
- An existing sales contract for the purchase of coal from Vršanská uhelná in the amount of 5 million tons/year in 2021–2023, imposing a take-or-pay obligation of ČEZ to take deliveries of contracted amounts of coal, will be terminated simultaneously with the transfer. The agreement also includes ČEZ's access to the Počerady power plant's production in 2021–2023, as the buyer undertakes to supply ČEZ with 5 TWh of electricity per year at a fixed price. All of ČEZ's hedge contracts for the purchase of emission allowances and sales of electricity from the power plant's expected production in 2021–2023 are still owned by ČEZ and are not included in the transaction.
- The power plant sales contract and the electricity supply contract for 2021–2023 (incl. the agreement on the termination of ČEZ's obligation to take deliveries of coal from Vršanská uhelná in that period) were made on Oct 22, 2020. Shares are expected to be transferred and the power plant is expected to be handed over on Dec 31, 2020, conditional on the Czech competition authority's approval of the transaction.
- ČEZ counts on further operation and development of the site. It retains a modern 880 MW CCGT unit, a gas connection, a feeder supplying the site with water from the Ohře River, and a total of 300,000 m2 of land in the locality.
THE EARLIER SALE OF THE POČERADY POWER PLANT HELPS CEZ GROUP FULFILL ITS AMBITION TO REDUCE ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT FASTER

Impacts of the Sale
- Previous contracts made between the parties anticipated selling a 100% stake in Elektrárna Počerady for a purchase price of CZK 2.0 bn with a transaction date of Jan 2, 2024.
- The current purchase price under the contract made on Oct 22, 2020, is CZK 2.5 bn and is payable at Nov 30, 2023. A regular purchase price adjustment for cash (or, more precisely, the amount of current assets less the amount of the company's liabilities at the transaction date) will be measured at the transaction date (Dec 31, 2020) and this part of the purchase price will be paid by the buyer in H1 2021 by means of a setoff against a portion of Elektrárna Počerady's receivables from ČEZ, a. s., arising from its cash being deposited in ČEZ's cash-pooling accounts.
- With the sale, ČEZ will eliminate risks associated with environmental regulatory requirements for capital expenditure on the generating facility in 2021 through 2023 and risks associated with the operation of a coal-fire facility in general.
- The sale will significantly decrease CEZ Group's carbon footprint:
- − CO2 emissions from the Počerady power plant were 4 to 5 million tons a year
- − the installed capacity of CEZ Group's coal-fired facilities will drop by more than 17%, to 4.8 GW.
- − The CEZ Group portfolio's specific emissions intensity per unit of electricity generated will be approximately 20% lower in 2021 compared to specific CO2 intensity of a new CCGT plant.
ROMANIAN ASSETS SOLD TO LONDON-BASED INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTOR MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE AND REAL ASSETS

Divestment Process
- The selling process officially started on Sep 9, 2019. The first stage was concluded with the receipt and evaluation of 19 indicative offers in December 2019. The second stage officially started on Jan 24, 2020, with 9 prospective bidders invited. The deadline for submitting binding bids was extended until Jun 25, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related measures imposed by the Romanian government.
- On Jun 25, 2020, CEZ Group received firm bids for the Romanian assets. The bid submitted by renowned international institutional investor Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets was evaluated as the best.
- On Oct 22, 2020, ČEZ entered into a contract for the sale of the Romanian assets with the winning bidder. The assets sold comprise a distribution company, a sales company, the Fântânele and Cogealac wind park, four small hydroelectric power plants, and service company CEZ Romania.
- The transaction is subject to approval by the EU's Directorate-General for Competition and will also be debated by Romania's Supreme Council of National Defense (Consiliul Suprem de Apărare a Ţării, CSAT). The transaction is expected to be settled during 2021.
- ČEZ's exclusive adviser on the sale was a London-based investment team of the Société Générale bank (together with a Czech team of Komerční banka and a Romanian team of the BRD—Groupe Société Générale bank). There was much interest in CEZ Group's Romanian assets. A high level of competition was achieved throughout the selling process in spite of complications arising from COVID-19.
- CEZ Group retains an active presence in Romania in trading (through CEZ Trade Romania) and energy services (through High-Tech Clima).
THE SALE OF THE ROMANIAN ASSETS FULFILLS OUR APPROVED STRATEGY FROM 2019 AND HELPS TO REINFORCE THE GROUP'S FINANCIAL STABILITY

Impacts of the Sale
- The sale of the Romanian assets fulfills the strategy approved at the 2019 shareholders' meeting, which aimed at divesting some assets in selected countries to improve CEZ Group's risk profile and focus on the decarbonization of its generation portfolio and development of renewables and modern energy services (in Czechia and European countries with a stable business environment).
- CEZ Group will get funds from the sale that will, in accordance with CEZ Group's current strategy:
- − Contribute to decrease its debt
- − Be used for development investments in Czechia and stable countries
- − Allow for a higher dividend for shareholders
- Development investments under consideration include fulfilling the national integrated energy and climate plan in Czechia, converting heat generation facilities toward zero-emission technology, and developing modern energy services focusing on savings.
- We cannot disclose the selling price due to contractual stipulations with the buyer. Nevertheless, the achieved selling price exceeds internal valuations of the assets, which means that it generates more cash for our shareholders than what is indicated by expected future cash flows if the assets were not sold. This conclusion was confirmed by independent appraisals of the value of the sold companies carried out by three renowned external entities.
- At the same time, the transaction will have a negative impact on CEZ Group's profit reported in Q4 2020 because the costs of the disposal of the assets at consolidated level exceed the selling price. This is due to past changes in the RON/CZK exchange rate and negative regulatory interventions in Romania in the past (especially interventions in RES regulation).

BULGARIA—Commission for Protection of Competition Approves the Sale of Assets to Eurohold
- The agreement for the purchase of Bulgarian assets made with Eurohold on Jun 20, 2019 remains in force.
- On Jul 22, 2020, the Administrative Court in Sofia reversed the decision of the Bulgarian Commission for Protection of Competition, which stopped the sale of ČEZ's local assets to Bulgarian company Eurohold in Oct 2019.
- The Commission for Protection of Competition did not appeal the decision of the Administrative Court and reopened the proceeding on Aug 27, 2020. It stayed the proceeding on Sep 3, 2020, asking the participants to update and amend supporting documents. Requested supporting documents were sent on Sep 15, 2020, within the statutory time limit.
- The Commission for Protection of Competition approved the sale of CEZ Group's Bulgarian assets to Eurohold at its meeting held on Oct 29, 2020. The transaction is now subject to approval by the Bulgarian energy regulatory authority.
POLAND—Process of Selling Coal-Fired Assets Started
- On Sep 16, 2020, the process of selling Polish coal-fired assets (the Chorzów and Skawina power plants) and other Polish companies, except for ESCO companies, was started by publishing a request for expression of interest, to be submitted by Sep 29, 2020. The request resulted in 14 expressions of interest from potential investors.
- A standard compliance check of the prospective bidders was carried out in October and the first round of the selling process was then started, which will end in the submission and evaluation of indicative offers. The deadline for submitting indicative offers is Dec 7, 2020.
- The sale of Polish wind projects in the development phase continues. The sale of the Krasin and Sakówko projects was completed in Q2 of this year; we expect to sell the remaining 4 projects by the end of 2020.
ČEZ INCREASED THE CAPACITY OF TEMELÍN UNIT 2, FULFILLING A KEY PRIORITY—SAFE AND STABLE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR PLANTS

Stable Nuclear Generation of 30 TWh
- Safe and stable operation of both plants in 2018–2020
- Projects for further availability optimization started at both nuclear plants, aiming at annual production above 31 TWh
Achievable Capacity of Temelín Unit 2 Increased by 4 MWe
▪ Increase realized by installing two new separators—steam reheaters in the nonnuclear part of the power plant, which will enhance the unit's efficiency while the reactor output remains the same. This will increase the unit's capacity to 1,086 MWe . The same capital expenditure is expected at Temelín NPP Unit 1 in 2021.
Priority of Safety and Compliance
- Conditions from the Dukovany NPP operating license met in accordance with SÚJB's decision.
- A period safety review of Temelín Unit 1 performed after 20 years of operation.
- Unlimited license for further operation of Temelín Unit 1 received on Sep 23, 2020. Similarly to the Dukovany NPP, the license is subject to a number of conditions; compliance will be checked at ten-year intervals.
- Preparation of supporting documents for an application for a license extension for Temelín Unit 2 continues.
Other Selected Events in Nuclear Power
- Ústav aplikované mechaniky Brno (Institute of Applied Mechanics) was acquired at Jul 1, 2020 and is now wholly owned by ČEZ, a. s. It is a company having key competences for providing safety and stress analyses for nuclear plant lifecycle management.
- On Nov 5, 2020, ČEZ and British company Rolls-Royce signed a Memorandum of Understanding concerning the development of small modular reactors to evaluate application opportunities in Czechia.

ČEZ CONTINUES HEDGING ITS GENERATION REVENUES, 77% SOLD FOR 2021 AT 46 EUR/MWH

Expected realization price for generation in Czechia in 2020 (estimated at Sep 30, 2020):
- Estimated average realization price of generated electricity is 45.5 EUR/MWh.
- Estimated average purchase price of emission allowances for generation (incl. those allocated under a derogation) is 14.5 EUR/t.
Note: This results from hedges in past years, deals made in 2020, and the current market valuation of electricity not yet sold and emission allowances for estimated generation not yet obtained in 2020.
A contract for the sale of the Počerady power plant was made on Oct 22, 2020, which will reduce the hedged production in 2021 through 2023 by 4 to 5 TWh.
For the share of hedged production and average prices as at Oct 22, 2020 (i.e., without the Počerady power plant), refer to slide 37 in the Annex.

Financial Highlights and Selected Events
Financial Performance of Business Segments

REFINING FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 2020: EBITDA ESTIMATED AT CZK 64 BN, ADJUSTED NET INCOME AT CZK 23 BN



Selected reasons for refining the financial outlook as compared to the outlook from Aug 11, 2020:
- Lower negative impact of COVID-19 on the Distribution segment
- Higher revenues from commodity trading
- Higher revenues from ancillary services
- Higher gross margin on electricity sales
- Greater negative impact of COVID-19 on the ESCO business
Selected prediction risks and opportunities:
- Availability of generating facilities
- Profit from commodity trading and revaluation of derivatives
- COVID-19 impacts
The effect of the contracts made for the sale of Romanian assets and the Počerady power plant on net income in Q4 2020 will be subject to adjustment according to the definition of the Adjusted Net Income indicator. These are nonrecurrent extraordinary effects without any effect on cash flows in 2020.
ESTIMATED YEAR-ON-YEAR CHANGE IN EBITDA BY BUSINESS SEGMENT


Mining (CZK -1.5 to -1.7 bn)
▪ Lower sales of coal for ČEZ power plants (as a result of increased prices of emission allowances and lower electricity prices due to COVID-19 and outages) and due to lower customer demand outside CEZ Group
Generation—Traditional Energy (CZK +3.2 to +4.2 bn)
- Higher realization prices of generated electricity, including hedging
- Additional gains from German hedge contracts for deliveries from generation in Czechia in 2020 to 2025
- Higher expenses on emission allowances for generation
- Lower profit from commodity trading (as compared to exceptionally good results in 2019, especially in Q4 2019)
- Lower revenues from ancillary services
Generation—New Energy (CZK +0.4 to +0.6 bn)
▪ Higher amount of generation and higher electricity prices in Romania
Distribution (CZK +0.4 to +0.8 bn)
- Lower costs to cover network losses
- Higher tariffs in Bulgaria and Romania
- Lower amount of distributed electricity, -1.7 TWh (COVID-19)
Sales (CZK +0.4 to +1.0 bn)
- Negative impact of the court's decision on the results of 2019 on the basis of which the fulfilment of SŽDC's liability to ČEZ Prodej from 2010 (+CZK 1.3 bn) was returned in 2019
- Negative impact of COVID-19 on ESCO services
THANKS TO HEDGING AGAINST PRICE RISKS IN GENERATION, COVID-19 HAS A NEGATIVE EFFECT OF JUST ABOUT CZK 3 BN ON CEZ GROUP'S FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE THIS YEAR

We estimate the total negative effect of COVID-19 on CEZ Group's 2020 EBITDA at approx. CZK 3 bn, including CZK 2 bn in Sales and Distribution segments and CZK 1 bn in Generation—Traditional Energy and Mining segments.
Effect of COVID-19 on CEZ Group:
- Reduced consumption negatively affects especially the customer segments (Sales/ESCO and Distribution) and indirectly also generation and mining. The economic slowdown will restrict corporate customers' capital expenditure and ESCO contracts more so.
- Moreover, overall uncertainty in the market brings about postponements of development acquisitions and new ESCO investments.
- The global nature of the COVID-19 crisis results in declining prices of energy commodities, and thus declining prices of electricity, which has a negative effect on the generation and mining segments. This negative trend will manifest itself especially in the next years (generation revenue was largely hedged for 2020).
- The ever more important "Green Deal" in the EU has resulted in a significant increase in the price of emission allowances, which further intensifies the negative effect on coal-fired power plants and mining.
- All of the above has resulted in a lower estimate of the 2021 profit and a worse outlook for the business plan in the next years.
- The COVID-19 pandemic together with the EU's ambitions under the "Green Deal" and increased CO2 prices have triggered additions to fixed asset impairments in CEZ Group.
- Additions to asset impairments and goodwill write-off in Q1–Q3 2020 amount to CZK 5.7 bn.

Methods Used to Calculate 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 standardized statements (from financial statements included in Financial Report and/or from accompanying notes). 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 |
|
|
|
|
| Net Debt |
Purpose: The indicator shows the real level of a company's financial debt, i.e., the nominal amount of debt net of cash, cash equivalents, and highly liquid financial assets held by the company. The indicator is primarily used to assess the overall appropriateness of the company's debt, e.g., in comparison with selected corporate 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. |
|
|
|
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 +/− additions to and reversals of impairments of developed projects +/− other extraordinary effects that are generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given year and value creation in a given period +/− effects of the above on income tax. |
|
|
|
| Dividend per Share (Gross) |
Purpose: The indicator expresses a shareholder's right to the payment of a share in a joint-stock company's profits (usually for the past year) corresponding to the holding of one share. The subsequent payment of the share in profits is usually subject to taxes, which may be different for different shareholders; therefore, the value before taxes is monitored. |
|
|
|
|
Definition: Dividend awarded in the given year, before taxes, per outstanding share. |
|
|
|
| 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. EBITDA is the running total for the past 12 months, i.e. EBITDA for the period from October 1 of previous year until September 30; Net Debt is the amount at the end of the period. |
|
|
|
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 defined as follows:
