* Adjusted net income = Net income adjusted for extraordinary effects that are generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given period (such as fixed asset impairments and decrease in the goodwill value)

** On the last date of the period

Note: Data for the comparable period of H1 2019 were adjusted compared to the data published for H1 2019 due to accounting, which additionally specified the recognition of the effect of hedging the price risks of electricity sales on individual quarters of 2019.

YEAR-ON-YEAR CHANGE IN EBITDA BY SEGMENT

Main causes of year-on-year change in H1 EBITDA:

  • Higher realization prices of generated electricity, incl. the effect of hedges in Czechia and commodity trading (CZK +5.8 bn)
  • Additional profit (overhedge) in H1 2020 from German hedging contracts for generation supply in Czechia in the years 2020 to 2025 due to a significant increase in the difference between Czech and German market electricity prices (CZK +0.9 bn)
  • Higher expenses on emission allowances for generation in Czechia (CZK -2.2 bn) due to increased purchase prices and lower allocation of free allowances
  • Lower volume of electricity generation in Czechia of the segment Generation – Traditional Energy segment (CZK -1.8 bn)
  • Higher gross margin from electricity sales in Czechia and Romania (CZK +0.8 bn); COVID-19 will negatively affect the performance of the Sales segment, especially in H2

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC APPROVED COOPERATION AGREEMENTS TO PREPARE THE PROJECT "NEW NUCLEAR FACILITY EDU II"

On July 27, 2020, the Government of the Czech Republic discussed the Act on Measures for Czechia's Transition to Low-Carbon Energy in order to enable the state to order the construction of a nuclear power plant with a fixed date of commissioning, production volume and purchase price and also to allow for the provision of partial financing for the project. The draft law was submitted by the government to the Parliament of the Czech Republic for discussion.

On July 28, 2020, the Government of the Czech Republic signed two agreements with ČEZ, a. s., and Elektrárna Dukovany II, a. s., regulating the framework conditions for the construction of a new nuclear power plant in Czechia in the Dukovany locality.

1) GENERAL AGREEMENT, not legally binding, covers overall cooperation in NNPP construction

2) IMPLEMENTING AGREEMENT FOR STAGE 1 OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW NUCLEAR FACILITY in Dukovany

Selected obligations of ČEZ during Stage 1:

  • Ensure the issuance of a zoning decision, a permit for the location of a nuclear facility (application submitted to the SONS on March 25, 2020) and the necessary rights to real estate and land
  • Select a contractor and enable the state to control the choice of contractor with regard to the security interests of Czechia
  • Keep to the schedule and budget for Stage 1 and allow the Czech state to monitor performance
  • Hand over fully functional company Elektrárna Dukovany II if the company is to be bought by the Czech state

Selected rights of ČEZ during Stage 1 if no agreement is reached on the next stage (e.g., due to regulatory conditions):

  • Sell off Elektrárna Dukovany II to the Czech state
  • Get compensation from the Czech state in the amount of costs incurred

The next stages of the project will be addressed by successive agreements, incl. definition of the main principles (the parameters of purchase prices of electricity from the new facility and conditions for the Czech state to partially finance the project, among other things).

SELECTED ACTIVITIES AND MILESTONES EXPECTED IN 2020

  • Submission of a request for notification to the European Commission (responsibility of the Czech state)
  • Launch a tender for a contractor

THE ENERGY REGULATORY OFFICE APPROVED THE PARAMETERS OF THE NEW REGULATORY PERIOD FOR ČEZ DISTRIBUCE

Summary of parameters for the 5th regulatory period, i.e. for the period of 2021–2025

  • There will be a 100% adjustment of the regulatory asset base (RAB) to the total residual value of assets by the end of 2025 in a progressive manner (in 2020 the RAB value is CZK 106.6 bn and accounts for 82% of the residual value of assets, estimated to increase to 89% in 2021, to 95% in 2022, to 97% in 2023, to 98% in 2024 and to 100% in 2025).
  • For a reasonable return on the RAB, a nominal pre-tax WACC of 6.54% was set.
  • The investment plan assumes a gradual increase to CZK 14.5 bn from 2022.
  • The lowest efficiency factor among regulated entities in Czechia was set (i.e. the pace of mandatory reduction of permitted costs in the future with regard to austerity measures of the regulated company in the past).

Expected investments by 2025 of over CZK 83 bn, of which CZK 23 bn for digitization

Investments in the field of digital technologies will be directed to remotely controlled elements of the distribution system, elements of the distribution system monitoring, system for voltage control and regulation, to IT technologies, and to the field of electromobility.

CEZ GROUP STEADILY REDUCES ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT AND SPECIFIC EMISSIONS FROM THE PORTFOLIO

CEZ Group continues its strategy of gradually reducing electricity generation from coal gCO2 / kWh

  • On June 30 the operation of the Prunéřov 1 coal-fired power plant was terminated; it produced a total of 139 TWh of electricity, which is Czechia's 2-year consumption.
  • The goal for 2030 is to reduce CO2 emissions by 30% compared to 2018 and reduce the emission intensity to at least 300 g/kWh by a combination of closure of selected coal plants and development of renewables.

Work continued on securing greening measures in connection with the requirements of the BREF and BAT regulation for coal resources in Czechia

  • Work continued on securing actions related to renewing the equipment and maximizing operational safety, efficiency and ecology of production, in particular actions that will allow further operation of resources even after 2020, when the new BREF limits will enter into force. Priority areas include the projects at the Tušimice power plant, where general repairs and expanding greening measures for the period of 2021 and 2022 are being prepared. It is also a greening measure to meet the BAT requirements (limits for solid pollutants, especially limits for mercury).
  • Applications for exemptions from meeting the BAT requirements for coal facilities Prunéřov 2, Tušimice, the new facility Ledvice, Trmice, Počerady, and Energotrans were submitted so that heating plants and power plants could continue to operate after August 2021 and the necessary greening measures could be prepared and implemented.

DEVELOPMENT OF CEZ GROUP DIVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

ROMANIA

  • On June 25, 2020, CEZ Group received binding offers for assets in Romania. Mainly the distribution and sales companies and the Fântânele and Cogealac wind power plants are subjects of the sale.
  • The bids have been evaluated and negotiations are currently underway with the submitter of the most advantageous bid.

BULGARIA

  • The agreement on the purchase of Bulgarian assets with Eurohold concluded on June 20, 2019 remains in force.
  • On July 22, 2020, the Administrative Court in Sofia annulled the decision of the Bulgarian Commission for the Protection of Competition, which blocked the sale of ČEZ's local assets to the Bulgarian company Eurohold in October 2019.
  • The Commission may appeal against the decision to the Bulgarian Supreme Court within 14 days. If it does not exercise its right of appeal, the Commission will have to rule on the matter again.

POLAND

  • 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; the sale of the remaining 4 projects is expected by the end of 2020.
  • The launch of the sales process of Polish coal assets (Chorzów and Skawina power plants) and other Polish companies outside the ESCO projects is preliminarily planned for H2 2020. We do not anticipate a significant delay in connection with COVID-19 so far.

TURKEY

We continuously monitor the interest of mostly local investors in our share in Akcez. No negotiation with an interested party has proceeded to the binding stage yet.

SELECTED EVENTS IN THE AREA OF CEZ GROUP'S DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST QUARTER

ČEZ ESCO is a 100% owner of ČEZ Energo

  • The remaining share of 49.9% was purchased from TEDOM as at June 30, 2020. The approval by the Antimonopoly Office took place on July 20, 2020.
  • ČEZ Energo was established in 2011 through a partnership of ČEZ and TEDOM. Integrated since 2014 as a subsidiary of ČEZ ESCO.

Czechia (CZK +2.9 bn)

  • Higher realization prices of generated electricity, including the effect of hedges and commodity trading (CZK +5.8 bn)
  • Additional profit (overhedge) in H1 2020 from German hedge contracts for generation supplies in Czechia in the years 2020 to 2025 due to a significant increase in the difference between Czech and German market electricity prices (CZK +0.9 bn)
  • Lower generation at nuclear power plants (CZK -1.0 bn), operation of other generating facilities (CZK -0.8 bn)
  • Higher expenses on emission allowances for generation (CZK -2.2 bn) due to increased cost prices and lower allocation of free allowances
  • Higher asset maintenance costs at nuclear power plants (CZK -0.3 bn)
  • Higher revenue from heat sales (CZK +0.3 bn)
  • Received compensation for 2018 damage of the steam generator at the Dukovany power plant (+CZK 0.2 bn)

Note: Data for the comparable period of H1 2019 were adjusted compared to the data published for H1 2019 due to accounting, which additionally specified the recognition of the effect of hedging the price risks of electricity sales on individual quarters of 2019.

Financial Performance of Business Segments

Annual Outlook

ČEZ CONTINUES HEDGING ITS GENERATION REVENUES, 71% SOLD FOR 46 EUR/MWH FOR 2021

Forecast realization price of generation in Czechia in 2020 (estimated at August 11, 2020):

  • The estimated average realization price of the generated electricity is 45.7 EUR/MWh.
  • The estimated average purchase price of emission allowances for production (incl. allocated in the derogation) is 15.1 EUR/MWh.
  • This results from hedges in past years, deals made in 2020, and the current market valuation of remaining, still unsold, generation in 2020 and valuation of not yet acquired emission allowances for expected generation in 2020.

100% Share of Hedged Production of ČEZ* Facilities in Czechia as at Jun 30, 2020

Hedging prices of electricity and emission allowances for generation in Czechia as at June 30, 2020

WE INCREASE THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 2020, ESTIMATING EBITDA AT CZK 62 TO 64 BN, ADJUSTED NET INCOME AT CZK 21 TO 23 BN

Effect of adjustment for extraordinary effects in 2019

Selected reasons for specifying the financial outlook compared to the outlook from May 12, 2020:

  • Higher revenue from commodity trading
  • Lower impact of COVID-19 on the segments of Distribution and Generation—Traditional Energy
  • Lower fixed operating cost
  • Estimated revenue of CZK 1.5 bn in H2 as a result of a court decision regarding ČEZ's right to interest on arrears in connection with the refund of part of the paid gift tax on emission allowances for 2011 and 2012 (impact only on net profit)

Selected forecast risks and opportunities (reasons for the interval):

Availability of generating facilities

  • Realization prices of generated electricity
  • The impact of COVID-19 on commodity consumption and demand for services
  • Profit from commodity trading and revenues from ancillary services of the generation portfolio in Czechia

Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairments* (CZK -2.2 bn)

  • Higher impairments of fixed assets in Romania (CZK -0.8 bn), Bulgaria (CZK -0.6 bn) and a decrease in the goodwill value in Poland (CZK -0.4 bn)
  • Higher depreciation and amortization (CZK -0.3 bn), primarily at ČEZ and in Romania

Other costs and revenues (CZK -0.2 bn)

  • Income and expenses from equity investments and securities (CZK -0.1 bn), especially lower dividends received
  • Interest expenses and income (CZK -0.1 bn)

Net Income Adjustments

  • Adjusted for the negative effect of impairments of fixed assets in Bulgaria (CZK +0.8 bn) and Romania (CZK +0.7 bn) in Q2 2020 and for the negative effect of decrease in the goodwill value in Poland (CZK +0.4 bn)
  • Q2 2019 net income adjusted for the negative effect of impairments of fixed assets in Bulgaria (CZK +0.3 bn)

Note: Data for the comparable period of Q2 2019 were adjusted compared to the data published for Q2 2019 due to accounting, which additionally specified the recognition of the effect of hedging the price risks of electricity sales on individual quarters of 2019.

The main reasons for the year-on-year change in capital expenditures in individual segments:

  • Generation—Traditional Energy: especially investments in conventional generation facilities (completion of projects to reduce emissions—DeNOx, DeSOx); acquisition of smaller quantities of nuclear fuel
  • Generation—Traditional Energy: acquisition of RES projects in France in 2019
  • Distribution: Czechia—Higher capital expenditures on the renovation of distribution grid facilities and capital expenditures initiated at customer requests

Bulgaria—increased frequency of electricity meter replacements in 2019

Sale: acquisition of real estate as part of the purchase of the German acquisition of Hermos in 2019

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 July 1 of
previous year until June 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:

Highly Liquid Financial Assets—component of Net Debt indicator (CZK millions):

As at Dec 31, As at Jun 30,
2019 2020
Current debt financial assets 403 504
Non-current debt financial assets 111 10
Current term deposits 3 2
Non-current term deposits 0 0
Short-term equity securities 0 0
Highly liquid financial assets, total 517 517
