  • Annual electricity generation: 61.1 TWh (+32%)
  • Electricity customers**: 7.8 million (1992: 12 customers)
  • Gas customers**: 0.4 million (1992: 0 customers)

Total taxes, dividends, and donations transferred to the government of Czech State since 1992: CZK 570 bn

Q1 2017 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

  • Operating revenues increased by 2% year-on-year to CZK 52.8 bn.
  • EBITDA decreased by 5% year-on-year to CZK 19.0 bn.
  • Net income decreased by 13% year-on-year to CZK 8.7 bn.
  • Adjusted net income decreased by 12% year-on-year to CZK 8.8 bn.

SELECTED EVENTS IN THE PAST QUARTER OPERATIONS TEAM

In Q1, CEZ Group (Generation—Traditional Energy segment) generated 16.8 TWh (+2%)

The availability of generating facilities and favorable market conditions permitted higher generation and an additional margin (CZK +0.7 bn) as compared to plan, especially on the successful use of the Po čerady gas-fired power plant and trouble-free operation of Temelín NPP

Licensing process for further operation of Dukovany NPP units continues according to a plan

  • On Jan 2, an application for an operating license for Unit 2 was submitted to SÚJB; on May 31 the Consolidated Readiness Report will be submitted to SÚJB and we expect SÚJB's decision by Jul 10, 2017
  • Applications for operating licenses for Units 3 and 4 will be submitted to SÚJB on Jun 30; we expect preparation of the Consolidated Readiness Report will be completed by Dec 1, 2017

Mission of 25 experts from WANO (World Association of Nuclear Operators) checked up Dukovany NPP

  • On Apr 7 a two-week review of all power plant operations was completed. The results confirmed that Units 2, 3, and 4 are ready for extension of operation.
  • It identified 2 good practices transferable to other power plants (a method for turbine oil checks and a system of action cards during a fire alarm)
  • Out of 19 areas with the potential for an improvement identified in 2012, 10 of them were successfully resolved. In 9 areas, e.g. suppliers work supervision, human performance quality and human error prevention, the improvements are being realized on a project basis.

Measures taken will be evaluated in 2019

SELECTED EVENTS IN THE PAST QUARTER DEVELOPMENT TEAM

In Q1, CEZ Group (Generation—New Energy segment) generated 0.6 TWh (+18 %)

Growth mainly due to the acquisition of wind power plants in Germany and the rise in production of wind parks in Romania

On Mar 31, rules governing support for renewable electricity generation entered into force in Romania increasing the transparency of the whole system of support

  • The period of tradability of green certificates was extended
  • Certificates issued for the period ending Mar 31, 2017 have their lifespan limited to 12 months
  • All certificates issued for the period starting Apr 1, 2017 are tradable until Mar 31, 2032
  • The permissible price range for green certificates was adjusted to EUR 29.4 – EUR 35 (fixed values, also applicable to future periods without adjustment for inflation)
  • The updated regulatory scheme assumes an obligation to buy a constant annual amount of green certificates for 15 years, starting Apr 1, 2017, so that all green certificates are absorbed at the end of the 15-year period
  • The annual number of green certificates that can be absorbed by the market for 2017 and 2018 is 14.91 million green certificates (it was 12.6 million green certificates in 2016)

Through Inven Capital, we acquired a share in the German company CLOUD&HEAT

  • Cloud&Heat designs, builds, and operates environmentally friendly, water-cooled, public and private data centers for cloud computing
  • The Cloud&Heat solution makes use of heat from servers to heat offices and water in office buildings and other business premises
  • The result is up to 50% reduction in operating costs in comparison with conventional solutions

SELL OF MOL SHARES - SUCCESSFUL INVESTMENT APPRECIATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS

Summary Since 2007

  • Under a strategic partnership with Hungarian company MOL, created to build new gas-fired power plants, CEZ Group acquired 7.5% of MOL shares for CZK 15.7 bn and became a shareholder in MOL's Slovnaft (Slovakia) and Dunamenti (Hungary) heating plants
  • Due to the subsequent financial crisis and unfavorable market conditions for return on investment in gas-fired power plants, the planned construction projects did not materialize
  • In 2014, CEZ Group issued convertible EUR bonds maturing in August 2017
  • CEZ Group sold its shares in MOL's heating plants in Hungary in 2014 and in Slovakia in 2016
  • In April 2017, sale of the MOL shares was settled and the convertible bonds were redeemed early*

CZK +3.4 bn - total positive cash-flow balance for CEZ Group

  • This value includes total cash flows arising from shareholding, received dividends, option premiums, financing costs, and related charges, as well as the appreciation of shares in tangible assets (the heating plants concerned)
  • The appreciation of the shareholding over the period in question was 4.5%** p.a. (for comparison, the average yield of the EURO STOXX index from Jan 31, 2008 to Jan 31, 2017 was 4.0% p.a.)

CZK +4.5 bn - expected accounting impact on the 2017 Adjusted Net Income, of which:

  • CZK +3.3 bn is the effect of the actual transaction of selling the shares and redeeming the convertible bonds
  • CZK +1.2 bn is the effect of recognizing the revaluation of the MOL stock option in 2017 revenues

6

WE INCREASE OUTLOOK FOR ADJUSTED NET INCOME TO CZK 17 BN, KEEP EBITDA AT 52 CZK BN

Selected reasons for improved outlook in comparison with estimate from Mar 21, 2017:

  • Successful sale of MOL shares
  • Lower depreciation and amortization and the effect of higher capitalized interest, primarily in connection with postponed date of final acceptance of Ledvice Power Plant for operation
  • Other effects

Outlook risks and opportunities:

  • Availability of generating facilities in Czechia
  • Changes in regulatory and legislative conditions for the energy sector in Europe
  • Potential income from possible sale of coal-fired Počerady Power Plant

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 report 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, for example,
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).
Adjusted Net Income
(After-Tax Income, Adjusted)
Purpose: This is a supporting indicator, intended primarily for
investors, creditors, and shareholders, that 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).
EBITDA (EBIT Before Depreciation
and Amortization, Impairments, and
Asset Sales)
Purpose: This is an important economic indicator showing a
business's operating efficiency comparable to other
companies, as it is unrelated to the company's depreciation
and amortization policy and capital structure or tax treatment.
It is one of the fundamental indicators used by companies to
set their key financial and strategic objectives.
Definition: Earnings Before Taxes and Other Expenses and
Revenues + Depreciation and Amortization +/− Impairments
of Property, Plant, and Equipment and Intangible Assets
Including Goodwill (including Write-Off of Canceled
Investments) + Sales of Property, Plant, and Equipment and
Indicator
Intangible Assets.
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. 12 month rolling EBITDA is
used, i.e. EBITDA for the period from Apr 1 of previous year
until Mar 31. Net debt figure at the end of periods is used, i.e.
as of Mar 31.

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:
