2. Energy market and regulatory and business environment

Macroeconomic environment

PGE Group's main operating area is Poland, and the domestic macroeconomic backdrop has a substantial impact on Group's results. At the same time, the condition of Poland's economy remains largely tied to the situation across the European Union and in global markets. The Group's financial results are affected by both the situation in specific segments of the economy and the financial markets, which determine the terms of PGE Group's debt financing.

In Poland, as in most other economies, there is a positive dependence between change in electricity demand and change in the rate of economic growth. Considering PGE Group's position on the Polish power generation market, as well as its substantial share in the electricity sales and distribution market, changes in electricity and heat demand may have a significant impact on the Group's results.

In the third quarter of 2025, the trends observed in the first half of 2025 continued. Demand for electricity recorded in the three quarters of 2025 fell by 2% compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.

In the third quarter of 2025, the PMI index for Polish industry remained below the neutral level of 50.0 points, albeit with signs of improvement. In July 2025, PMI rose to 45.9 points, in August to 46.6 points, and in September reached 48.0 points. The quarterly average was 46.8 points. Companies are noting signs of demand stabilisation, particularly on European markets, and production forecasts for the coming months are increasingly optimistic. Experts indicate that the improvement in sentiment is influenced by NRRP funds, a recovery in the Eurozone and increased investment activity. If this trend continues, an increase in demand for energy from industry is possible, as well as improved conditions for project implementation. Compared to Poland, the Eurozone performed better, albeit unevenly – in July 2025 the Eurozone PMI was 49.8 points, in August 2025 it rose to 50.7 points (the first reading above 50 points since 2022), but in September 2025 it fell again – to 49.5 points. The quarterly average for Q3 2025 was 50.1 points. Despite visible signs of stabilisation, the Eurozone was emerging from the downturn more rapidly. The largest economies – Germany, France and Italy – still recorded values below 50.0 points, indicating a continued industrial recession. The improvement in the Eurozone's economic climate may support Polish industry through the rebuilding of export demand.

Chart: Manufacturing PMI in Poland and Eurozone (in points).

Source: Market Economics

Economic recovery is also reflected in industrial output data. In the third quarter of 2025, sold industrial output in Poland increased by 2.7% compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, confirming a gradual improvement in economic conditions. The largest increase was recorded in manufacturing, while a decline continued in the power sector. These results, combined with improved business sentiment, indicate rising activity in the manufacturing sector. According to the data, labour productivity increased, which points to improved efficiency in the industrial sector. If the trend continues, an increase in demand for energy in the fourth quarter of 2025 is possible.

Q3 2025

In the third quarter of 2025, domestic electricity consumption decreased by 0.69 TWh, primarily due to higher generation in PV plants and auto-consumption related thereto. As a result of deteriorating wind conditions, wind power generation fell by 0.17 TWh compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. In the third quarter of 2025, Poland was a net importer of electricity like in the last year. A change in the value of the foreign exchange balance level by 1.06 TWh y/y was recorded. A decrease in production was recorded at hard coal-fired power plants (-0.63 TWh), lignite-fired power plants (-1.21 TWh), and an increase in gas-fired plants (+0.01 TWh). Other sources also recorded an increase in generation (+0.25 TWh), particularly photovoltaic power plants, owing to the rise in installed capacity.

Q1-Q3 2025

On a cumulative basis, domestic electricity consumption decreased by 2.70 TWh year-on-year, which was also due to higher generation from photovoltaic power stations and related self-consumption. As a result of deteriorating wind conditions, wind power generation fell by 0.64 TWh compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. In the first three quarters of 2025, as in the previous year, Poland was a net importer of electricity, but imports were lower than in the previous year by 2.17 TWh. There was a decline in output from hard coal-fired power plants by -1.07 TWh and from lignite-fired power plants by -1.48 TWh. Conversely, the increase in demand this year for gas (1.57 TWh) was due to falling gas prices on wholesale markets and an increase in installed capacity. There was also an increase in generation from other electricity sources (1.09 TWh), mainly from PV power stations due to an increase in installed capacity.

Chart: Energy balance in the NPS (TWh) in Q1-Q3 2025.

The situation in the NPS directly affects the operational activities of the PGE CG. In the first three quarters of 2025, the PGE Group recorded a decrease in production from hard coal units of -1.34 TWh (-11% y/y) and from lignite units of -1.60 TWh (-6% y/y). At the same time, generation from gas-fired units increased by 2.39 TWh (+58% y/y), driven by the growth of installed capacities.

Energy prices on the forward market in first three quarters of 2025 fell for both BASE and PEAK5 contracts in comparison to the analogical period of the previous year. Several factors may have contributed to the price decline, including lower coal prices, the projected increase in the share of RES in generation or the prospect of a slowing economy and thus lower demand due to the introduction of tariffs by the US.

In the third quarter of 2025, the largest y-o-y price increase was recorded in Czechia (+82 PLN/MWh), in Germany (+71 PLN/MWh) and in Denmark (+63 PLN/MWh), while the biggest price decline were recorded in Estonia (-42 PLN/MWh) and in Finland (-36 PLN/MWh). The differentiation of energy prices results from a higher share of renewable energy sources in the generation mix and from the situation on the markets for related products. The price spread between Poland and its neighbouring countries is also due to differences in realised coal prices and also to prices of natural gas at home and abroad. The reason for price changes is the changing market situation, mainly due to the varied share of renewables in generation.

The variation in imports/exports is due to the level of the share of renewable energy sources in the technological mix and the situation in the markets for related products. In the third quarter of 2025, Poland was an importer of electricity, driven by lower wholesale prices in the neighbouring markets.

Chart: Quarterly trading volumes – import, export and international trading balance in years 2015 -2025.

In the third quarter of 2025, Poland was a net importer of electricity and trade balance amounted to 1.0 TWh (imports: 3.0 TWh, exports: 2.0 TWh). The largest impact on the trade balance came from import from Germany (1.3 TWh), Sweden (0.7 TWh) and Czechia (0.5 TWh). At the same time, we exported most electricity to Slovakia (0.9 TWh), Germany (0.5 TWh) and Czechia (0.4 TWh).

In the first three quarters of 2025, Poland was a net importer of electricity, with a trade balance of 0.2 TWh (imports: 8.2 TWh, exports: 8.0 TWh). The largest impact on the trade balance came from import from Germany (3.3 TWh), Sweden (2.7 TWh) and Czechia (1.0 TWh). At the same time, we exported most electricity to Slovakia (3.8 TWh), Czechia (1.7 TWh) and Germany (1.7 TWh).

RETAIL MARKET

The diversity of electricity prices for retail customers in the European Union depends mainly on the level of the wholesale prices of electricity, fiscal system (taxes and fees), regulatory mechanism and support schemes in particular countries. In Poland in the first half of 2025 7 an additional burden (over sale price and cost of electricity distribution) for individual customers accounted for 42% of the electricity price. The Germans paid the most for electricity, for whom additional charges accounted for 32% of the final price.

Alongside market changes and the evolving generation structure of the Group, not only long-term contracts but also the volatile spot market significantly impacts the Group's trading activities. Changes in global fuel prices also affect the value of sales prices at the Group and the profitability of utilising reserves. The average wholesale electricity price realised in the first three quarters of 2025 was PLN 502/MWh.

2.2.4. Prices of certificates

In the first three quarters of 2025 the average price of green certificates (index TGEozea) reached PLN 27/MWh and was lower by 47% compared to the previous year. At the end of August 2024, the Ministry of Climate and Environment published the level of the green certificates redemption obligation for 2025, which amounts to 8.5%. In turn, at the end of August 2025 the Ministry of Climate and Environment published the level of the green certificates redemption obligation for 2026 which will amount to 9%.

The decline in property rights prices resulted in lower revenue from the sale of RES property rights in the PGE Group. These revenues in the first three quarters of 2025 amounted to PLN 37 million compared to PLN 67 million in the analogical period of 2024, i.e. they decreased by PLN 30 million y/y.

Prices of CO2 emission rights

EUA (European Union Allowances) prices are one of the key factors determining wholesale energy prices and PGE Group's financial results. Installations emitting CO2 in the process of electricity or heat production bear the expenses for purchasing EUA allowances to cover the deficit (i.e. the difference between CO2 emissions at PGE Group's generating units and the free-of-charge allowances received under derogation in accordance with the National Investment Plan). Wherein, last allocations granted free of charge were planned for realisation of investment tasks for 2019. It means that the free allocations for electricity generation, in accordance with the currently used method, ended when 2019 allowances were received.

In the first three quarters of 2025 the weighted average price of EUA DEC was EUR 72.58/t and was higher (by approx. 10%) than the average price of EUR 66.19/t in the comparable period of the previous.

CO2 emission rights granted free of charge

In accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1842 of October 31, 2019 laying down rules for the application of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards further arrangements for adjustment of the allocation of free CO2 emission allowances due to changes in activity levels, the competent authority may suspend the issuance of free emission allowances to an installation until it is determined that there is no need to adjust the allocation to that installation or the Commission has adopted a decision concerning adjustments to the allocation to that installation.

Due to the amendment of Directive (EU) 2023/959 of the European Parliament and of the Council of May 10, 2023, amending Directive 2003/87/EC establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Union, the deadline for issuing emission allowances has changed from February 28 to June 30 each year, following the publication of information in the Public Information Bulletin on the website of the Ministry of Climate and Environment.

In accordance with legal requirements, verified reports on activity level for individual installations for 2024 have been submitted by March 31, 2025. On June 27, 2025, the accounts of individual installations were credited with adjusted amounts of free CO2 allowances.

emissions compared to 1990, to the European Climate Law (along with
announced flexibilities in its implementation, including possible contribution of
international credits to the target – up to 3 percentage points). On September
17, 2025, the public consultation on the Commission's proposal was completed.
The Council adopted its position on November 5, 2025, and the European
Parliament on November 13, 2025. Both positions call, inter alia, for a higher
contribution of international emission units (5 percentage points instead of 3
percentage points) towards achieving the 90% target. The proposed legislative
amendments will have to be formally adopted in trilogue negotiations with the
European Commission by the Parliament and the Council, which is expected to
take place in December 2025.

On February 26, 2025, the European Commission published the first package
of proposals, which aims to consolidate, simplify, eliminate inconsistencies, and
align the EU Taxonomy Regulation, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting
Directive (CSRD), and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive
(CSDDD). These proposals include: changing the application date of the CSRD
and CSDDD; proposed amendments to the provisions of the CSRD and CSDDD;
and proposed amendments to the delegated acts under the EU Taxonomy
Regulation. On June 23, 2025, the Council adopted a general approach.
On October 13, 2025, the final version of the rapporteur's report was adopted
in the JURI Committee of the European Parliament. On the same day, the JURI
Committee adopted the European Parliament's mandate for trilogues with the
Council and the European Commission, which was, however, rejected by the
European Parliament in a plenary vote on October 22, 2025. On November
13, 2025, the Parliament's position and the mandate for trilogue negotiations
with the Council and the Commission were put to the vote and adopted during
the plenary session.
The proposal introduces beneficial changes
in relation to the CSRD, CSDDD, and the EU
Taxonomy,
reducing
reporting
and
regulatory burdens, including by limiting the
number of data points collected and
published annually and simplifying reporting
requirements. This translates into a simpler

burdens for Member States and State aid beneficiaries, promoting necessary
investments, increasing flexibility in designing aid measures, and maintaining a
level playing field in the single market. As part of the revision process, the
Commission conducted a public consultation from July 14 to October 6, 2025.
Based on the results of the public consultation and the feedback received, the
Commission plans to consult stakeholders on the draft and subsequently adopt
the revised GBER in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Changes to the GBER may enable faster and
more flexible implementation of investment
projects, particularly in the area of heat
segment transformation. The revision may
also enable more efficient access to public
support for projects related to, inter alia,
renewables, heat supply, or innovation.

&lt;sup>1 Sales carried out mainly by PGE Obrót S.A. and Railway Energy Services segment.

The total volume of purchased and generated electricity is higher than the volume of electricity sold. The difference presented in point D results from the necessity to cover grid losses in the distribution business (DSO), consumption of energy at lignite mines and consumption of energy at pumped-storage power plants.

Lower sales of energy on the wholesale and balancing market are the result of lower generation from coal units at PGE Capital Group which was caused by a negative exchange balance in the third quarter of 2025 due to low prices in neighbouring countries. Lower purchases at the wholesale market result mainly from lower sales to final off-takers at PGE Obrót S.A. in the corporate client and small and medium enterprises segments, who tend to diversify energy sources, mainly with greater use of RES.

The level of electricity production in the first three quarters of 2025 was lower by 1% as compared to th three quarters of 2024.

Lower production at lignite-fired power plants (decline by 1.46 TWh) results from Bełchatów power plant units being in reserve downtime longer by 4 792 hours and Turów power plant units being in overhauls longer by 2 909 h.

Lower production in hard coal-fired power plants (decrease of 1.20 TWh): lower production was recorded at Dolna Odra power plant (decline by 0.81 TWh) and Rybnik power plant (decline by 0.79 TWh) while Opole power plant increased production (by 0.40 TWh). Lower generation at Dolna Odra power plant is a result of repairs of units longer by 9 281 h, while at Rybnik power plant results from reserve downtime of units longer by 6 876 h. Higher generation at Opole power plant is the result of the higher average block load of this power plant by 95 MW.

Lower production at wind farms (decline by 0.15 TWh) resulted from worse windiness in the areas of farms belonging to PGE.

Lower hydropower production (decline by 0.09 TWh) is due to poorer hydrological conditions.

Lower production at pumped storage plants (decrease by 0.05 TWh) is due to the nature of the operation of the generating units, which were less utilised by PSE.

Higher production at Gryfino Dolna Odra power plant - growth by 1.90 TWh - is a result of low base of the first three quarters of 2024. Unit No. 9 was put into operation in August 2024 and Unit No. 10 in October 2024.

The higher production from and gas-fired CHP plants (growth by 0.43 TWh) is the result of the commissioning of the Nowa Czechnica CHP plant and the gas engines at the Bydgoszcz CHP plant.

The higher production from coal-fired CHP plants (growth by 0.04 TWh) is a result of higher energy production in co-generation with heat due to weather conditions (lower average temperatures).

Higher photovoltaic generation (growth by 0.02 TWh) is due to new capacity being commissioned.

Production at biomass CHP plants and communal waste-fired CHP plants remained at similar to the comparable period.

External temperatures contributed more than any other factor to lower net generation of heat in the third quarter of 2025 (y/y). The average temperatures in 2025 were by 0.3° C lower y/y, which translated into increased production of heat.

HEAT SALES

In the third quarter of 2025 the heat sales volume in PGE Capital Group totalled 3.51 PJ and were higher by 0.05 PJ y/y.

In the three quarters of 2025 the heat sales volume in PGE Capital Group totalled 31.82 PJ and were higher by 2.01 PJ y/y. The above result was mainly influenced by higher heat demand due to lower average outdoor temperatures compared to 2024.

3.2. PGE Group's key financial results

The best way to measure the profitability of energy companies is recurring EBITDA. This is a result before depreciation, amortization, income tax and financial activities, including interest from drawn debt. EBITDA makes it possible to compare the results of companies regardless of the value of their assets, level of debt and existing income tax rates. Additionally, recurring EBITDA is adjusted for one-offs

PGE Group's consolidated EBITDA is composed of the financial results of each of its operating segments. The following segments have the largest share in the Group's recurring EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025: Distribution (44%), Renewables (14%), Railway Energy Services (10%) and Supply (10%). Other segments have less than 10% share in the recurring EBITDA.

The Renewables segment is based mainly on revenues from the sale of electricity, however contrary to production at industrial plants within the Coal Energy segment, this revenue is subject to a larger degree to changes in weather conditions and prices on the spot market due to the renewables sales model in place. Electricity output volume translates into production of property rights (green certificates) and revenue from the sale of energy origin certificates obtained by the segment's assets, excluding hydropower plants over 5 MWe.

Revenue from the Capacity Market, a mechanism introduced to prevent electricity shortages in the National Power System, constitutes a significant item in the segment's revenue, starting from 2021. Selected power plants in the Renewables segment receive fees for performing the capacity obligation (a Capacity Market Entity being on standby to supply electricity to the system and the obligation to supply specified capacity to the system when the system is under threat). Capacity Market revenue compensated for revenue from ancillary services. The readiness intervention reserve service was discontinued. Since mid-June 2024, the next phase of the Balancing Market reform has been implemented. As a result of the above reform, power plants have the possibility to offer balancing energy and balancing capacity. The new catalogue of balancing services includes: frequency maintenance reserve, frequency restoration reserve and replacement reserve. New balancing services are recognised as ancillary services revenue.

The significant cost items of the segment's operations are: use of energy to pump water at pumped-storage plants, depreciation of segment assets and third-party services, mainly the repair and maintenance services. Property tax and labour costs also constitute a significant cost item in this segment.

ASSETS AND OPERATIONAL DATA

The PGE Capital Group's operations in renewable energy are managed by the PGE Energia Odnawialna S.A. Due to the profile of operations, the segment also includes companies from the Offshore area, which are responsible for all activities related to offshore wind energy.

Assets in the segment include:

  • · 21 wind farms,
  • 57 photovoltaic power plants,

Key factors affecting the y/y results of Renewables:

  • Higher revenues from electricity sales results from: higher average electricity sale price by PLN 37/MWh y/y what translated into increase of revenues by PLN 26 million, higher sales volume by 26 GWh, what translated into increase of revenues by PLN 13 million.
  • Lower revenues from sales of certificates resulting from: lower sales volume by 142 GWh, what translated into decrease of revenues by PLN 22 million, lower average electricity sale price by PLN 65 PLN/MWh y/y, what translated into decrease of revenues by PLN 11 million.
  • Higher electricity purchase costs for pumping in pumped storage power plants results from higher purchase volume by 100 GWh, contributing to an increase in costs by PLN 50 million and lower average electricity purchase price by PLN 145/MWh y/y, what translated into decrease of costs by PLN 38 million.
  • Decreased revenues from the ancillary services result mainly from slightly lower revenue from balancing services introduced from June 2024.
  • Higher revenues from the Capacity Market result mainly from higher utilisation of production units in the power system and as a result of a higher contracted volume of the capacity obligation, mainly due to the supplementary auction for the second half of 2025, as well as a higher average price of the capacity obligation.
  • The increase in personnel costs is mainly a result of higher employment due to the development of the Offshore Energy and Renewable Energy areas and wage agreements concluded in 2025.

1 Managerial perspective (sales less electricity purchases).

The primary source of revenue for the Gas-Fired Generation segment is revenue from the sale of electricity on the wholesale market based on the price of electricity determined by supply and demand balancing mechanisms, taking into account the variable costs of generation. At the same time, the most significant cost items of the segment, by virtue of their size and volatility, and therefore impact on the operating result, are the costs of natural gas consumption and the costs of CO2 emission charges.

A significant item in the segment's revenue is revenue from the Capacity Market, a mechanism introduced to prevent a shortage of electricity in the NPS. The power plants are remunerated for the fulfilment of the capacity obligation (the Capacity Market unit's remaining ready to supply electricity to the system and its commitment to supply a certain capacity to the system during an emergency period). An additional item in the segment's revenue is revenue from for the provision of ancillary services.

ASSETS

The Gas-fired Generation segment comprises of:

  • 2 units in Gryfino Power Plant, each with an installed capacity of 683 MW fuelled by low-emission gas,
  • 1 unit with a capacity of 882 in construction at PGE Nowy Rybnik sp. z o.o.

In Gryfino, unit no. 9 was commissioned on August 14, 2024, while unit no. 10 on October 18, 2024.

Chart: Key changes of recurring EBITDA in Gas-fired Generation (in PLN million) – managerial perspective.

1 Managerial perspective (sales less electricity purchases).

Key factors affecting EBITDA of Gas-fired Generation segment y/y:

  • Increased net revenues from the sale of electricity, as a result of: higher sales volume by 0.2 TWh (commissioning of unit no. 10 in October 2024), what translated into increase of revenues by approx. PLN 90 million; higher average electricity sale price by PLN 66 /MWh y/y, what translated into increase of revenues by approx. PLN 83 million.
  • Higher revenues from the Capacity Market, including as a result of: increased utilisation of units of the Gryfino Dolna Odra Power plant in the system, a higher contracted volume of the capacity obligation (mainly due to the supplementary auction for the second half of 2025), and a higher average price of the capacity obligation. Additionally, revenues from ancillary services for provision of balancing services which did not occur in the comparable period.
  • Higher costs of natural gas consumption, as a result of higher consumption of this fuel by 1.4 PJ due to increased electricity production by 0.2 TWh, what translated into an increase of costs by PLN 86 million, and lower price by PLN 8.5/GJ, what translated into a decrease of costs by PLN 68 million.
  • Higher CO2 costs, as a result of emission of 0.4 tonnes million in the production process (in the comparable period, until the commissioning of the unit no. 9 and for the whole period for the unit no. 10, the segment did not incur CO2 emission charges).
  • Higher Costs of ZHZW due to higher volume of electricity under management.
  • Lower personnel costs due to a high base in the comparable period as a result of mandatory training costs incurred during that period.
  • The item Other, mainly takes into account the costs of repairs and assets operations and costs of insurance and taxes. The increase in this item is due to the longer operation of the units in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the comparable period.

&lt;sup>1 Managerial perspective (sales less electricity purchases).

The main source of revenue in the Coal Energy segment is revenue from the sale of electricity on the wholesale market, based on electricity prices that are shaped by supply and demand mechanisms, taking into account the variable costs of generation. At the same time, the segment's key cost items, given their size and volatility, and thus their impact on operating results, are the fees for CO2 emissions and cost of production fuels, mainly hard coal. Lignite-based production, which is of key significance for the Group, is based on own mines, therefore its cost is relatively stable and reflected mainly in fixed-cost items, i.e. personnel costs, third-party services and depreciation.

Revenue from the Capacity Market, a mechanism introduced to prevent electricity shortages in the NPS, constitutes a significant item in the segment's revenue in 2021. PGE GiEK S.A.'s power plants receive fees for performing the capacity obligation (a Capacity Market entity being on standby to supply electricity to the system and the obligation to supply specified capacity to the system when the system is under threat). Capacity Market revenue compensated for revenue from ancillary services. The cold intervention reserve and operational capacity reserve services were discontinued, while revenue from capacity reallocation remained. Since mid-June 2024, the next phase of the Balancing Market reform has been implemented. As a result of the above reform, power plants have the possibility to offer balancing energy and balancing capacity. The new catalogue of balancing services includes: frequency maintenance reserve, frequency restoration reserve and replacement reserve.

In addition, this segment generates revenues from sales of heat produced at industrial power plants.

ASSETS

Coal Energy segment consists of: 2 lignite mines and 5 conventional power plants.

Conventional Generation segment is the leader of lignite mining (its share in the extraction market of this raw material accounting for $95\%^9$ of domestic extraction), it is also the largest generator of electricity as it generates approx. $27\%^{10}$ of domestic gross electricity production. The generation is based on lignite extracted from mines owned by the company as well as hard coal.

Key factors affecting the EBITDA result of Coal Energy segment on y/y basis:

  • Decrease in revenues from the sale of electricity, which results from: lower average selling price of
    electricity by PLN 112/MWh y/y, which translated into a decrease in revenues by approx. PLN
    1 050 million; lower sales volume by 0.9 TWh, which resulted in a decrease in revenues by approx. PLN
    547million.
  • Lower revenue from the ancillary services due to a lower volume and price of balancing services sold. The third quarter of 2024 was a commissioning period for the new market, in which there was a high share of the segment's assets in the provision of balancing services, and a lower supply of available balancing capacity on the market resulted in higher prices. This effect was partially offset by higher revenue from the Capacity Market due to a higher contracted volume of the capacity obligation, mainly as a result of the supplementary auction for the second half of 2025 and a higher average price of the capacity obligation.

&lt;sup>1 Managerial perspective (sales less heat purchases and costs of certificates redemption).

As in the case of Coal Energy, this segment's significant revenues are revenues from electricity sales, however, they are usually directly related to generation of heat which in turn depends on demand that is highly seasonal and depends on external temperatures. This is why, in contrast to industrial power plants in Conventional Generation, as a rule, CHP plants do not have any considerable impact on the development of prices for electricity on the wholesale market.

Revenues from the sale and distribution of heat are regulated revenues. Energy companies independently set tariffs and present them to the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (the "ERO President") for approval. Heat production at PGE Group takes place in cogeneration units, which tariffs for heat are calculated using a simplified approach (compared to tariffs based on a full cost structure), based on reference prices, conditioned on average sales prices for heat generated in units with specific fuel other than cogeneration units. They are published each year by the ERO President. Tariffs for heat production for cogeneration units in a given tariff year thus reflect changes in the costs of heat-generation units (not cogeneration units) in the previous calendar year. The cost approach is applied in the case of tariffs for heat distribution, which allows to cover justified costs (mainly the costs of heat losses and property tax) and a return on invested capital, in line with guidelines from the ERO President. Distribution tariffs for heat are in place at branches in Gorzów and Zgierz, as well as by KOGENERACJA S.A., PGE Toruń and Zielona Góra CHP.

Generation of heat and electricity is directly related to key variable costs of the segment, i.e. the cost of production fuels used (in particular, hard coal and gas) and the cost of fees for CO2 emissions.

Electricity production in high-efficiency cogeneration is additionally remunerated. CHP plants receive support at a level covering increased operating costs related to production. The support mechanism is in place also for biomass-fired generating assets. This type of production is additionally remunerated by awarding origin certificates, i.e. green certificates, the sale of which generates additional revenue. Within the segment such revenues is obtained at Szczecin CHP plant and biomass unit in Kielce CHP.

Revenue from the Capacity Market, a mechanism introduced to prevent electricity shortages in the National Power System, constitutes a significant item in the segment's revenue. CHP plants receive fees for performing the capacity obligation (a Capacity Market entity being on standby to supply electricity to the system and the obligation to supply specified capacity to the system when the system is under threat).

&lt;sup>2 Managerial perspective (sales less electricity purchases).

Weather conditions substantially affect the segment's results. Temperatures directly shape the level of heat demand. Simultaneously, the level of heat production determines the level of electricity production in cogeneration, which is an additional source of revenues that decisively affects the CHP plant's profitability.

ASSETS

The following companies are included in the segment: PGE Energia Ciepła S.A., KOGENERACJA S.A., EC Zielona Góra S.A., PGE Toruń S.A., MEGAZEC sp. z o.o. and the district heating network in Gryfino.

Currently, the segment includes 16 combined heat and power plants.

District Heating is the largest heat producer in Poland. Generation is based mainly on hard coal and natural gas.

TARIFFS IN DISTRICT HEATING

Income on heat sales for CHP plant are tariffed as part of the so-called simplified method, so they are characterised by a relative delay in the transfer of costs (annual or two-year). They are based on the yearto-year dynamics of average costs (including fuels used) incurred by entities that are not co-generation entities for the year preceding the time of tariff setting.

Reflecting previous costs decrease, the reference price of heat produced from hard coal decreased by 6% in 2024. It is a base to the increase in heat prices for co-generation entities establishing the tariff during 2025. In 2025 the average market price of coal decreased by 19%, while the average price of CO2 emission rights increased by 10% in comparison to 2024.

Key factors affecting the EBITDA result of District Heating segment on y/y basis:

  • Higher volume of net heat production in the third quarter of 2025 y/y is a result of lower outside temperatures compared to the analogical period of 2024. The average temperatures in 2025 were by 0.3o C lower y/y, what translated into increased heat production (by 0.04 PJ).
  • Increase of heat sale price is a result of increased tariffs for heat for the CHP plants in 2025 following the publication by the ERO of reference prices for heat production in units not being co-generation units.
  • Decrease in revenues from the sale of electricity results from: lower average selling price of electricity by PLN 143/MWh y/y, which translated into a decrease in revenues by approx. PLN 142 million; higher sales volume by 0.1 TWh, which resulted in an increase in revenues by approx. PLN 42 million.
  • Higher revenues from Capacity Market, mainly due to the increased use of units in the system and larger contracted volume of capacity obligation as a result of supplementary auction for the second half of 2025, as well as a higher average price of the capacity obligation.
  • Higher revenues due to support for high-efficiency cogeneration due to commissioning of the Czechnica CHP Plant and gas engines in Bydgoszcz CHP Plant in 2025.
  • Lower fuel consumption costs, which are mainly caused by the lower price of natural gas and lower volume of hard coal consumption. The details are shown in the chart below.

1Managerial perspective (cost of electricity purchase within contract with PGE S.A., compensation settlement and additional estimation, reduced by revenues from sales of electricity on Balancing Market ).

The segment's revenues are based primarily on the tariff for electricity distribution services approved annually by the President of the Energy Regulatory Office at the company's request, which means that they are of a regulated nature. The tariff takes into account reasonable operating costs related to the distribution system operator's activities, depreciation costs, costs of taxes on distribution assets, costs related to the necessity to cover network losses on electricity distribution or the purchase of transmission services from the TSO. At the same time, the tariff reflects the costs transferred in fees such as the RES fee, the transition fee, the co-generation fee and the capacity fee.

The key element shaping the Distribution segment's result is return on company's invested capital. For this purpose, the so-called Regulatory Asset Base (RAB) is determined and calculated on the basis of incurred investment costs including depreciation of assets. The RAB is the basis for calculating the return on capital employed, using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), which is determined by the ERO President in the tariff process. It is within the competence of the ERO President to differentiate the remuneration from capital employed, taking into account the prioritisation of the DSO's development objectives, so that priority investment projects can be remunerated using an additional reinvestment bonus mechanism. In addition, return on capital depends on the achievement of individual quality targets for years 2018-2025 set by the ERO President for performance indicators including: interruption time, interruption frequency and connection time.

As part of the government's Solidarity Shield, a package of laws was adopted in 2022 to protect consumers, including with respect to the pricing of electricity distribution services. Under its terms, for some eligible customers, within certain limits, the prices of electricity distribution services in 2023 were frozen at the 2022 price level, which was in force until the end of June 2024. As a result of the entry into force of the Energy Voucher Act from July 1, 2024, prices for electricity distribution services have been unfrozen, with the result that rates from the current tariff apply. In the first half of 2024 DSOs were entitled to compensation to cover the application of reduced prices for distribution services. The compensation was the difference in the electricity distribution service charges between the 2024 tariff and the 2022 tariff up to the maximum limit. The entity responsible for the payment of compensation was the company Zarządca Rozliczeń S.A. As a result of the entry into force of the Energy Voucher Act from July 1, 2024 the settlement deadline for compensation for 2023 was also postponed from June 30, 2024 to October 31, 2024.

Key factors affecting results of Distribution segment y/y:

  • Decrease in the volume of distributed electricity by 0.12 TWh, resulting mainly from lower demand for electricity in the tariffs of industrial customers and small and medium-sized enterprises.
  • Decrease in rates of distribution services by an average of PLN 2.2/MWh resulting from a change in the internal supply structure within tariff groups.
  • Increase in other revenue from distribution services due to reactive power fees.
  • Lower result on transits due to lower sales and higher costs of purchasing transit services.
  • Lower costs of electricity purchases to cover network losses mainly as a result of drop in electricity prices.
  • Positive impact of the additional estimation of the cost of network losses as a result of changes in electricity prices. The additional estimation has a neutral impact on the results of the PGE Capital Group.
  • Increase in connection fee revenue as a result of larger completion of connection projects during the reporting period.
  • Increase of costs of tax on real estate results from higher tax rates and an increase in the value of grid assets as a result of the investments and expansion of the power grid.
  • Increase in personnel costs mainly due to realisation of agreements concluded with the social side.

One of the primary sources of revenue in the Railway Energy Services segment is the revenue from the distribution of electricity. Similarly to the Distribution segment, this revenue is subject to applicable regulations and based on a tariff approved by the ERO President. In principle, this tariff ensures a transfer of reasonable costs and a return on the capital invested in the distribution network. The activities of the Railway Energy Services segment as a distribution network operator are limited to the areas along railway lines throughout the country.

Another important source of revenue is the sale of electricity. This revenue is derived from the supply of energy to railway operators and entities connected to the segment's distribution network. Rail operators are additionally the recipients of fuel sales services.

The most significant cost items of the segment include the purchase of the distribution services, as well as the purchase of electricity and fuels for resale.

The scope of the Railway Energy Services segment's activities comprises works related to the maintenance of the overhead contact line network and the performance of local modernisation works on this network. The segment also provides power engineering services outside the ranges of the overhead contact line network, such as equipment maintenance, as well as the construction and maintenance of railway traffic control systems. In this type of activity, the most significant costs are personnel costs.

Additionally, on the basis of the provisions of the Act of December 7, 2023 amending the acts to support consumers of electricity, gas fuels and heat, the system of compensation for trading companies for the application of capped prices and discounts was extended until June 30, 2024. In addition, as a result of the Act of May 23, 2024 on the energy voucher and amendments to other acts, from July 1, 2024, maximum prices for households, SMEs and local authorities were introduced.

VOLUMES, CUSTOMERS AND OPERATING DATA

The main part of the segment's assets consists of electricity distribution assets held by PGE Energetyka Kolejowa SA. Among other elements, these assets include 546 overhead contact line network substations supplying power to railway lines throughout the country. The total length of the company's network lines is 18.5 thousand kilometres. The network of PGE Energetyka Kolejowa S.A. serves approximately 58 thousand customers.

As part of retail-market activities, the key source of segment's revenue is sale of electricity to final customers. This is sale to business and institutional clients, which constitutes 70% of the sales volume, and to retail clients. The segment's revenue also includes the sale of natural gas and fuels, mainly: pulverised coal and coarse coal, which is sold by PGE Paliwa sp. z o.o.

As a result of the law of November 27, 2024, amending the law on emergency measures aimed at reducing the level of electricity prices and supporting certain consumers, as well as as a result of the Act on the heat voucher and on the amendment of certain acts to limit electricity prices, from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025, the maximum price of electricity for households will continue to apply.

Electricity sales are matched by the costs to purchase electricity on the wholesale market and costs to redeem certificates as part of the support system for renewable sources and energy efficiency.

As part of the activities on the wholesale market, $CO_2$ purchases are made for the needs of the Coal Energy, Gas-fired Generation and District Heating segments, which is reflected both in terms of costs and revenues. At the same time, a significant revenue item is the provision of services to the Group's companies related to the management of purchases and sales of electricity and related products.

The Supply segment also incurs costs related to the operations of the Group's corporate centre.

Key factors affecting EBITDA of Supply segment y/y:

  • Higher result on sale of electricity is mainly the result of a higher margin on tariff products which is related to the validity of a 1.5-year tariff (from July 2024 till December 2025) above the electricity purchase costs incurred in 2025 and compensation for the negative result from 2024.
  • Negative impact of additional estimation of balancing difference cost mainly as a result of changes in electricity prices. The additional estimation has a neutral impact on the results of the PGE Capital Group.
  • Decrease of revenues from services performed within the Capital Group resulting from the decrease in revenues under the ZHZW agreement, which is a consequence of the lower value of trade in electricity under management.
  • Higher result on CO2 sales mainly as a result of realisation of CO2 forward contracts.
  • Lower personnel costs primarily due to a high base in the previous year caused by the implementation of wage agreements.
  • Lower result on other operating activities as a result of the high base of the previous year when provisions for onerous contracts, mainly for tariff group G, were released.
  • The change in the 'Other' item value was mainly due to higher costs of IT services.

Other Operations

Key factors affecting EBITDA of Other Operations segment y/y:

  • Higher revenues related to combustion by-products, due to increase in the selling price of goods at lower volume.
  • Higher revenues from sales of IT services due to a greater range of services provided by PGE Systemy S.A. to companies in the PGE CG (implementation of development initiatives).
  • The decrease in revenue from other activities is due to Elbis sp. z o.o. implementing projects of higher value in the comparative period.
  • Higher value of goods and materials sold, mainly due to higher UPS purchase costs at lower purchase volume purchase volume.
  • Decrease in advisory service costs results from the implementation of a Dębe hydro power plant project by Elbis sp. z o.o. in the comparative period of the previous year.
  • Higher personnel costs due to the increase in the minimum wage, inflation pressure, realisation of wage agreements.
  • The change in the value of the item 'other' results mainly from the increase of IT services costs and the deferral of project cost settlements.

Significant events of the reporting period affecting operation in the three quarters of 2025 and subsequent periods

Change of PGE's rating by Fitch Ratings

On January 13, 2025 Fitch rating agency ("Fitch", the "Agency") has downgraded long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of PGE from BBB+ with stable outlook to BBB with stable outlook, PGE's senior unsecured rating and senior unsecured rating of subsidiary PGE Sweden AB (publ) from BBB+ to BBB and national ratings: PGE from AA(pol) with stable outlook to A+(pol) with stable outlook and senior unsecured rating from AA(pol) to A+(pol).

Within the rating assessment Fitch agency did not assume a spin-off from PGE Group's structure of conventional assets associated with mining and electricity generation from lignite and hard coal.

Fitch justifies the rating downgrade by projected increase of Company's net leverage due to a high capex, allocated largely to energy transition. Additionally, in its report the Agency points out a weakening PGE's competitive position due to structural market changes, including the growth of renewables in electricity generation. As a consequence, Fitch expects decrease in volumes of PGE's lignite- and coal-fired power generation and reduced profitability of the Company, which is significantly affected by the fixed cost base of its lignite mines, given the lack of domestic regulatory mechanisms to cover these losses. According to the Agency's report, stable outlook reflects PGE's adequate projected net leverage and the solid share of regulated distribution and a gradually improving electricity generation mix, including investments in new CCGT units, onshore renewable energy sources and first offshore wind project.

The Management Board of PGE emphasised that the ratings downgrade, within the investment grade rating level, does not impact the current Company's financing agreements and costs of debt servicing.

PLN 235 billion, which should translate into an almost threefold increase in EBITDA by 2035 as compared to 2024 and should enable the resumption of dividend payments. One of the effects of the new Strategy should be an inflow of approx. PLN 150 billion to companies in the domestic supply chain (local content), enabling longterm support for their development. The Strategy maintains the objective for the PGE Group to become climate-neutral by 2050, while CO2 emissions should be reduced by 75% as early as 2035.

Extension of the operating period of coal-fired units at Dolna Odra Power plant

The termination of electricity and heat production in coal-fired units at Dolna Odra Power plant was previously planned for the end of 2025. In September 2025, a decision was made to change this – the decommissioning of the coal-fired units will take place in two stages. According to the new plan, two units will be decommissioned at the end of 2025, while the operation of the remaining two will be extended until the end of August 2026.

Employees will be able to benefit from severance payments and energy leave. The Voluntary Leave Program has also been implemented, and the current staffing agreement concluded with trade unions guarantees severance payments of up to 30 times the monthly salary.
