* Comparison applying IFRS 15 (changing the manner of reporting since Jan 1, 2018) to 2017; according to the standard, neither distribution revenues nor distribution expenses are reported where an energy group sells electricity in an area in which it does not own the distribution grid. Application of this part of the standard significantly affects energy groups' total revenues and expenses (without affecting total reported profit).

** 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-off)

*** On the last date of the period

**** Headcount increase is primarily related to new acquisitions of ESCOs and in Czechia, it is also related to insourcing of sales companies' external employees

Y-O-Y CHANGE IN EBITDA BROKEN DOWN BY SEGMENT

Main causes of y-o-y change in EBITDA:

  • Higher expenses on emission allowances for generation (CZK -1.3 bn) due to increase in their prices and lower allocation of free allowances
  • Effect of settlement agreement with Sokolovská uhelná in 2017 (CZK -0.7 bn)
  • Positive effect of change in Romanian RES regulation in 2017, resulting from valuation of allocated green certificates (CZK -0.8 bn)
  • Lower allocation of green certificates to wind farms (CZK -0.6 bn), only one certificate per generated MWh allocated since Jan 1, 2018; two certificates were allocated in 2017
  • Total allowed distribution revenues were higher thus reflecting increased investment in distribution grids (CZK +1.0 bn)

Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairments* (CZK -1.5 bn)

  • Additions to fixed asset impairments including goodwill write-off (CZK -1.5 bn)
  • Effect of nonrecurrent income from sale of residential property in Prague in 2017 (CZK -1.1 bn)
  • Lower depreciation and amortization (CZK +1.2 bn), primarily due to updated long-term service life estimates for ČEZ power plants

Other Income (Expenses) (CZK -3.4 bn)

  • Effect of termination of MOL stockholding in 2017, including related operations (CZK -4.5 bn)
  • Higher interest income (expenses) (CZK -1.3 bn) primarily due to lower interest capitalization after completion of the new Ledvice facility
  • Share in profit or loss of Turkish companies, including effect of associated ČEZ provisions and impairments (CZK +1.6 bn)
  • Income from refunded interest on gift tax on emission allowances for 2011 and 2012 (CZK +0.7 bn)
  • Other effects (CZK +0.1 bn), primarily foreign exchange effects and revaluation of financial derivatives

Net Income Adjustments

  • In 2018 adjusted for the negative effect of additions to ČEZ provisions and impairments corresponding to the value of potential partial performance under provided guarantees for Akcez group companies' loans due to continued weakening of the TRY/USD exchange rate in 2018, reflecting Turkey's macroeconomic and political developments (CZK +0.9 bn), and for the effect of fixed asset impairments and goodwill primarily in Czechia (CZK +1.0 bn), Bulgaria (CZK +0.6 bn), Poland (CZK +0.2 bn), and Romania (CZK -0.3 bn)
  • In 2017 adjusted for the negative effect of fixed asset impairments and goodwill write-off in Turkey (CZK +1.3 bn), fixed asset impairments in Bulgaria (CZK +0.9 bn), impairments of projects under development in Poland (CZK +0.5 bn), impairments of other assets (CZK +0.3 bn), and for the positive effect of reversal of impairments for the Počerady CCGT plant (CZK -1.3 bn)

  • Sales: Increase due to new ESCO acquisitions, including gaining control of ČEZ Energo (fully consolidated since Jul 1, 2018).

MINING IN 2019 WE EXPECT COAL EXTRACTION TO GROW BY 8%

Severočeské doly—Coal Extraction (Millions of Tons)

  • Decrease in coal sale of 0.6 million tons in 2018 was primarily due to lower demand for thermal coal by CEZ Group power plants and heating plants and to lower demand for sorted coal by customers outside CEZ Group.
  • We estimate production will grow by 1.6 million tons in 2019 due to higher demand for thermal coal by CEZ Group power plants and heating plants.

ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION IN THE DISTRIBUTION AREA OF ČEZ DISTRIBUCE

Consumption in the Distribution Consumption* Area of ČEZ Distribuce

Temperature- and Calendar-Adjusted

  • Analysis based on CEZ Group's internal data.
  • CEZ Group's distribution area covers around ⅝ of Czechia's territory, so the data are a good indicator of nationwide consumption trends.

MARKET DEVELOPMENTS IN 2017 - 2018

A change in the classification of CEZ Group companies into segments was made with effect from Jan 1, 2019. In particular, most companies from the "Other" segment were transferred to different segments and the segment was renamed to "Supporting Activities."

The original segmentation primarily reflected core business activities; now more account is taken of mutual business relations making up the overall segment chain. For example, SD Kolejová doprava (a service subsidiary of Severočeské doly) was transferred from the "Other" segment to the "Mining" segment.

The change also reflects CEZ Group's internal management and breakdown into the Operations team and the Development team.

Starting from Jan 1, 2019, the classification of companies into segments matches exactly their classification into the Operations team (Mining, Generation—Traditional Energy, and Supporting Activities segments) and Development team (Sales, Distribution, and Generation—New Energy segments).

The classification of key companies as of Jan 1, 2019, and changes from the previous segmentation are shown on the following pages, including a global comparison of 2018 and 2017 EBITDA in both structures.

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
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).

Most of the components used in the calculation of individual indicators (including EBITDA and Net Debt) 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:
