* Adjusted net income = Net income adjusted for extraordinary effects that are generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given year (such as fixed asset impairments and goodwill write-offs)

** As at the last date of the period

YEAR-ON-YEAR CHANGE IN EBITDA BY SEGMENT

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

  • Higher realization prices of generated electricity in Czechia, incl. the effect of hedges and commodity trading (CZK +2.9 bn)
  • Specific effect of growth in commodity prices in H1 2018 (CZK +1.6 bn), incl. CZK 1.2 bn from revaluation of hedges for electricity generation in Czechia with delivery in H2 2018 and CZK 0.4 bn due to commercial procurement of allowances for 2018
  • Higher generation by traditional generating facilities in Czechia (CZK +0.6 bn)
  • Higher expenses on emission allowances for generation in Czechia (CZK -0.8 bn) due to increased market prices and lower allocation of free allowances

Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairments* (CZK -0.8 bn)

  • Additions to impairments of Bulgarian assets held for sale, reflecting income achieved in 2019 (CZK -0.6 bn)
  • Higher additions to fixed asset impairments, primarily in Romania (CZK -0.1 bn)
  • Higher depreciation and amortization (CZK -0.1 bn)

Other Income (Expenses) (CZK -0.1 bn)

Higher interest expenses (CZK -0.2 bn), higher interest revenue (CZK +0.1 bn)

Net Income Adjustments

  • Net income in H1 2019 adjusted for negative effects amounting to (CZK +0.7 bn) due to fixed asset impairments, in Bulgaria +CZK 0.6 bn and Romania +CZK 0.1 bn
  • Net income in H1 2018 adjusted for negative effects amounting to (CZK +0.1 bn) due to fixed asset impairments, primarily in Czechia

WE CONFIRM THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 2019, ESTIMATING EBITDA AT CZK 57 TO 59 BN, ADJUSTED NET INCOME AT CZK 17 TO 19 BN

Key prediction assumptions:

  • Estimated electricity generation by CEZ Group generating facilities totaling 66.9 TWh, including 30.6 TWh by nuclear plants
  • Estimated average realization price of generated electricity in Czechia of approx. 39 EUR/MWh*

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

  • Availability of generating facilities
  • Legal disputes (in particular, with SŽDC)
  • New development acquisitions

* This is the result of hedges from past years, deals made in 2019, and the current market valuation of remaining, still unsold, estimated generation in 2019.

SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING DECISIONS

  • Made a decision on the distribution of the 2018 profits of ČEZ, a. s. Approved dividends (the share of profits to be distributed to shareholders) totaled CZK 12.9 bn, which is 98.4% of 2018 consolidated net income adjusted for extraordinary effects that were unrelated to ordinary financial performance
  • Appointed Ernst & Young Audit, s.r.o., as the auditor to perform the statutory audit for 2019
  • Approved a 2020 donations budget of CZK 110 m
  • Approved an update to the business policy of CEZ Group and ČEZ, a. s.
  • Removed Šárka Vinklerová from the Supervisory Board of ČEZ, a. s., elected Jan Vaněček as a new member of the ČEZ Supervisory Board

The goal of additional 2025 EBITDA* demands significant investments in new assets, primarily in RES in Czechia, ESCO abroad, and distribution in Czechia. Investments in RES development in Czechia and ESCO development will be financed by income from divestments.

THE STRATEGY UPDATE WAS FOLLOWED BY AN UPDATE TO THE COMPANY'S DIVIDEND POLICY

Previous Dividend Policy Starting from 2017

Elevated payout ratio of 60%–100% of consolidated net income adjusted

for extraordinary effects generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given year

Published in March 2017 as temporary elevation for 2 years until a new development strategy is specified

ČEZ's Current Dividend Policy Since May 27, 2019

Payout ratio of 80%–100% of consolidated net income adjusted for extraordinary effects generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given year

Rationale behind the change of payout ratio to 80%–100%:

  • Increased ratio between generated operating cash flows and net income
  • Update to CEZ Group's business strategy and policy
  • Updated strategy does not anticipate major acquisitions and investments in renewables abroad

SELECTED EVENTS IN THE PAST QUARTER

AGREEMENT MADE WITH EUROHOLD FOR THE SALE OF BULGARIAN ASSETS AT EUR 335 M

  • Following the Bulgarian competition authority's disapproval of the sale of its Bulgarian assets to Inercom, ČEZ decided to terminate the agreement with Inercom.
  • Based on offers from other potential buyers of the Bulgarian assets, ČEZ entered into a sales agreement with Eurohold, which made the best and most profitable offer, i.e., a purchase price of EUR 335 m and repaying shareholder loans provided by CEZ Group.
  • The agreement's contribution to CEZ Group's 2019 accounting profit will be over CZK 0.2 bn
  • The sale concerns a total of seven companies: CEZ Bulgaria, CEZ Elektro Bulgaria, CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria, CEZ Trade Bulgaria, CEZ ICT Bulgaria, Free Energy Project Oreshets, and Bara Group.

INVEN CAPITAL (CEZ GROUP'S INVESTMENT FUND) ACQUIRED A MINORITY SHARE IN NEURON SOUNDWARE

  • Neuron Soundware, a Czech company, offers advanced hardware and software for predictive maintenance, enabling timely failure detection and operation optimization. Using artificial intelligence, the system can recognize imminent problems in machines in time to prevent failures of critical manufacturing equipment.
  • Neuron Soundware solutions have been used by, e.g., Daimler, VW, Innogy, E.ON, Airbus, or LG.
  • The company employs twenty experts and its 2018 turnover was almost EUR 0.5 m.

TEMELÍN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT INSPECTED BY WANO'S INTERNATIONAL MISSION

  • The Temelín NPP was inspected by 28 experts from 17 countries on Jul 17–Aug 2.
  • This was the very first time when a mission took place during an outage and led by WANO's Paris center.
  • Final results will be available in October. Preliminary conclusions from the mission confirm a high standard of the nuclear power plant's operations.
  • Room for further improvement in processes was identified in areas that the power plant has already been addressing on a longterm basis. The WANO team also appreciated several areas where the Temelín NPP can be an example of good practice for other power plants (e.g., its emergency preparedness system or modification of Essential Service Water* piping).

ON JULY 30 MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT ISSUED A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OPINION FOR EXTENDED COAL MINING AT BÍLINA MINE UNTIL 2035

The opinion also imposed 31 conditions on Severočeské doly that must be met by the company (e.g., building embankments and planting greenery to reduce noise and dust). Previously, mining at the mine was permitted until 2030.

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 statements or the components of which are not directly available from standardized statements (financial statements). 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 included in the IFRS statement, 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 reported.
Definition: Dividend awarded in the current year, before taxes,
per outstanding share (paid in the reported year from the
profits of prior periods).
Net Debt / EBITDA Purpose: This indicates a company's capability to decrease
and 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:
