Russia-Ukraine War Creates Significant Macroeconomic Uncertainty and Impacts the Energy Sector

The situation on energy markets has been tense since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war in early 2022. E.ON's priority in these turbulent times is to secure the energy supply. The power, gas, and heat networks that E.ON operates in various regions of Europe are running stably, even in the current situation.

The war's repercussions also have implications for E.ON's business. In particular, commodity prices as well as energy demand behavior impact our activities and are described in greater detail below in the sections entitled "Earnings Situation" and "Financial Situation."

Consortium Agreement with RheinEnergie Finalized

In mid-2021 Westenergie AG, a fully consolidated subsidiary of the E.ON Group, entered into a consortium agreement with RheinEnergie AG. The agreement was finalized effective March 31, 2023, after the conditions imposed by the Bundeskartellamt (German Federal Cartel Office) were met. The closing of the transaction enabled Westenergie and RheinEnergie to merge shareholdings in individual municipal utilities into rhenag. It also resulted in the initial consolidation of AggerEnergie GmbH in the E.ON Group. In addition, Westenergie transfered 20 percent of the shares of Stadtwerke Duisburg, which, pursuant to IFRS 5, was previously included in E.ON's Consolidated Financial Statements as an associated company, to RheinEnergie, which increased its share in RheinEnergie from 20 to 24.2 percent.

Conclusion of a Future Consolidation Agreement with ZSE Shareholders

On April 8, 2022, the shareholders of Západoslovenská energetika a.s. ("ZSE") and of Východoslovenská energetika Holding a.s.

("VSEH"), E.ON SE, and the Slovak Republic, concluded a Future Consolidation Agreement to combine ZSE and the VSEH Group. The agreement provides, among other things, for 100 percent of VSEH shares to be transferred to ZSE, the sale of all or selected VSEH subsidiaries to ZSE, and the implementation of corporate law changes at VSEH.

The transfer of VSEH shares to ZSE will result in ZSE becoming VSEH's sole shareholder (and thus also shareholder of selected VSEH subsidiaries). The ownership interests in ZSE will remain unchanged; that is, E.ON will have a 49-percent stake in VSE and the Slovakian state a 51-percent stake. The new ZSE shareholders agreement, which has yet to be concluded, will essentially correspond to the current shareholders agreement. After the transaction, ZSE will thus continue to be included in E.ON's Consolidated Financial Statements as a jointly owned company and accounted for using the equity method. After closing, VSEH's business operations, which previously had been fully consolidated, will be accounted for using the equity method.

The transaction was originally expected to close by the end of 2022. Accordingly, the VSEH Group has been presented as a disposal group in accordance with IFRS 5 since December 31, 2021. The closing of the transaction still depends on the consultation by the Slovak parliament and the approval of the Slovak government.

Subsequent Events

The Temporary Continued Operation of Germany's Remaining Nuclear Power Plants ("NPPs") Ended on April 15

The authorization of Emsland, Neckarwestheim 2, and Isar 2 NPPs (the latter of which is operated by PreussenElektra, an E.ON subsidiary) to operate expired at the close of April 15, 2023. In the winter of 2022-2023, Germany's NPPs therefore made a valuable contribution toward securing the energy supply amid the crisis.

Special Events in the Reporting Period

E.ON Successfully Issues Two Bonds in January 2023

E.ON successfully issued two bonds totaling €1.8 billion:

  • €800 million bond that matures in January 2028 and has a coupon of 3.5 percent
  • €1 billion green bond that matures in January 2035 and has a coupon of 3.875 percent.

Changes in Segment Reporting

E.ON's segment reporting was adjusted effective January 1, 2023. PreussenElektra's generation activities were originally planned to end on December 31, 2022. Consequently, Non-Core Business is reported under Corporate Functions/Other from the beginning of 2023. In addition, owing to the discontinuation of operations and the dismantling of all nuclear power plants, the associated expenses and income are reported under non-operating expense/income.

Earthquakes in Southeast Turkey and Northern Syria

Southeastern Turkey and northern Syria experienced several major earthquakes on February 6, 2023, and in the days afterward. They resulted in electricity and gas service outages. At E.ON, Enerjisa Enerji's supply territory was affected. Network repair activities are in full swing, and the power supply has largely been restored. All of Enerjisa Üretim's power plants are fully operational. From today's perspective, there have been no material implications for E.ON's asset, financial, and earnings situation.

→ Special Events → Earnings Situation → Financial Situation → Forecast Report → Risks and Chances Report

→ Selected Financial Information → Financial Calendar and Imprint

Isar 2 NPP was taken offline at the close of April 15, and its reactor was shut down. As planned, preparations are being made to dismantle the entire facility.

PreussenElektra earned power-market proceeds for about 2 TWh of Isar 2's electricity output since January 1, 2023. These proceeds must be set against the additional costs arising from the extension and the provisions of the Act on the Introduction of an Electricity Price Cap and on the Amendment of Other Provisions of Energy Law (German abbreviation: "StromPBG") on the Taxation of Electricity Market Revenues, which took effect on December 24, 2022. E.ON plans that any possible proceeds resulting from Isar 2's continued operation will be used for the energy transition, such as for network infrastructure and the development of its hydrogen business.

Earnings Situation

  • Positive earnings performance continues in the first quarter of 2023: adjusted EBITDA higher at Energy Networks (+30 percent to €1.9 billion) and Customer Solutions (+96 percent to €0.8 billion)
  • The E.ON Group's adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income in the first quarter of 2023 significantly above the prior-year figures

Sales

The E.ON Group's sales in the first quarter of 2023 rose by 14 percent year on year to €33.5 billion.

Energy Networks' sales increased by €1.2 billion relative to the prior year to €6.2 billion. This development is attributable in particular to cost-driven catch-up effects from prior years. In addition, growth in the regulated asset base had a positive impact on sales. By contrast, lower wheeling volume resulting from energy conservation due to the Russia-Ukraine war and the associated tense situation on energy markets and the macroeconomic situation had an adverse impact on sales.

Customer Solutions' sales rose by €13.3 billion to €37.1 billion. €4.6 billion of the increase resulted from external sales and is mainly attributable to the passthrough to end-customers of crisis-driven high procurement costs from 2022. This had the largest impact in the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands. A decline in sales volume due to energy conservation and portfolio adjustments as part of our B2B strategy had a countervailing effect in nearly all E.ON regions. €8.7 billion of the increase is attributable to higher internal sales in conjunction with the intragroup procurement of energy. Internal service relationships are offset by corresponding consolidations.

Sales recorded at Corporate Functions/Other of €26.4 billion were €15.1 billion above the prior-year figure. The increase is mainly attributable to the fact that E.ON Energy Markets, our central commodity procurement unit, expanded its business operations by acquiring the portfolios of additional business units and to the development of prices on commodity markets. The settlement of derivatives resulted in countervailing effects. The internal service relationships of central energy procurement are offset by corresponding consolidations.

1Prior-year figures were adjusted owing to the transfer of Non-Core Business.

Energy Networks' adjusted EBITDA increased by €436 million to €1,899 million in the first quarter of 2023 (prior-year: €1,463 million). This development was driven mainly by a further increase in investments in the energy transition, which leads to growth in the regulated asset base. In addition, the tangible recovery of the energy-industry market environment, especially in Germany, contributed to a reduction in the costs for redispatching. Effects relating to the costs of redispatching are essentially temporary in nature and, because of regulatory mechanisms, are credited to our customers in subsequent years. Adjusted EBITDA in Sweden and at East-Central Europe/Turkey increased year on year. In nearly all regions the reasons for this were catch-up effects for costs incurred in prior years for network losses and further growth in the regulated asset base. The weak Swedish krona had a countervailing effect in Sweden. Earnings at East-Central Europe/Turkey were adversely impacted by lower wheeling volume resulting from a reduction in energy consumption.

Effects relating to fluctuations in wheeling volume are essentially temporary in nature and are recovered in subsequent years through regulatory mechanisms.

Adjusted EBITDA at Customer Solutions rose by €399 million to €814 million (prior year: €415 million). In nearly all E.ON markets, necessary price adjustments contributed to a normalization of margins relative to the prior year. In addition, the optimization of energy procurement served to increase earnings, especially in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. A decline in sales volume and risk provisions for bad debts had a countervailing effect in nearly all regions. The in some case tense situation in 2022 in some regions of the Other unit eased as a result of improvements in regulatory schemes (especially in Romania). Consequently, wider margins and effects from portfolio management led to an increase in earnings.

Adjusted EBITDA recorded at Corporate Functions/Other declined by €210 million to €1 million in the reporting period, mainly because of the absence of earnings streams from PreussenElektra, whose earnings are recorded under non-operating expense/income effective the beginning of 2023.

The E.ON Group's adjusted EBITDA amounted to €2,715 million in the first quarter of 2023, which was €627 million above the prior-year figure of €2,088 million.

Reconciliation to Adjusted Earnings Metrics

In accordance with IFRS, earnings for the first quarter of 2023 also include earnings components that are not directly related to E.ON Group's ordinary business activities or that are nonrecurring or rare in nature. These non-operating items are considered separately in internal management control. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income reflect the E.ON Group's longterm profitability and, as metrics for internal management control, are adjusted to exclude non-operating items.

Scheduled depreciation/impairments and amortization/reversals -801 -847
Income/loss from continuing operations before interest results and income taxes 506 1,239

Net book gains/losses and restructuring expenses were insignificant in the first quarter. Primarily expenditures to restructure the sales business in the United Kingdom were recorded in the prior year.

Effects in conjunction with derivative financial instruments changed by -€1,655 million to -€1,506 million. This resulted mainly from a decline in the fair value measurement of unsettled sales and procurement transactions due to the declining price trend on commodity markets.

Non-operating expense/income mainly includes the disclosure of PreussenElektra's earnings since January 1, 2023, as well as countervailing earnings effects in conjunction with the valuation of shareholdings in Turkey using to the equity method.

Besides the above-described effects in the reconciliation to adjusted EBITDA, the reconciliation to adjusted net income includes the following items:

The non-operating tax result is mainly influenced by the fair value measurement of commodity derivatives, which has no tax-relief effect, and by changes in the value of deferred taxes and taxes for previous years.

The tax rate on operating earnings of continuing operations was 25 percent, as in the prior year. The tax expense rose by €289 million to €451 million.

The tax expense on continuing operations rose from €289 million to €432 million. The tax rate in the first quarter rose to 159 percent (prior year: 23 percent). The main factor that resulted in a higher tax rate in the reporting period was the fair value measurement of commodity derivatives, which has no taxrelief effect. Changes in the value of deferred taxes and taxes for previous years also led to a higher tax rate.

Insignificant impairment charges were recorded in the first quarter of 2023 (in part on goodwill at Energy Network's business in Slovakia in conjunction with the reclassification as a disposal group) along with the depreciation charges in connection with the innogy purchase-price allocation, which are disclosed separately. In the prior year, impairment charges were recorded in particular at an Energy Networks shareholding in Croatia and at Customer Solutions' business in Slovakia.

Operating earnings attributable to non-controlling interests 321 186
Non-operating adjustments of net income -1,513 96
Income/loss from discontinued operations, net 71
Net income -90 965

Non-operating interest expense/income declined by €256 million to €3 million, mainly because of the nonrecurrence of a very positive item recorded in the prior year relating to the discount rates on provisions. This item was slightly negative in the first quarter of 2023. This was partially offset by the valuation effect of €98 million on securities recognized at fair value. The positive effect of €50 million (prior year: €56 million) from the difference between the nominal interest rate and the effective interest rate of former innogy bonds adjusted due to the purchase-price allocation is still recorded under non-operating interest expense/income.

Non-controlling interests' share of operating earnings rose primarily because of higher operating earnings at minority-held companies.

The income from discontinued operations resulted from a transaction already completed in 2005. In accordance with the purchase agreement, a one-time purchase-price adjustment was made after an audit of the divested company was completed in the first quarter of 2023, and the contractual clause now took effect.

Group adjusted net income and corresponding earnings per share amounted to €1,031 million and €0.40, respectively, in the first quarter of 2023. Prior-year adjusted net income and earnings per share were €683 million and €0.26, respectively.

Financial Situation

  • Economic net debt rose relative to year-end 2022
  • Provisions for pensions almost unchanged
  • Operating cash flow before interest and taxes nearly at prioryear level
  • Investments significantly above prior-year level, in particular at Energy Networks, propel the energy transition

E.ON manages its financial condition using, among other financial measures, economic net debt and operating cash flow.

Financial Position

Economic net debt increased by €2.4 billion relative to yearend 2022 (€32.7 billion) to €35.1 billion.

E.ON's net financial position increased by €2.3 billion relative to year-end 2022, from -€21.6 billion to -€23.9 billion. The change resulted mainly from negative cash flow due to seasonal factors and from investment expenditures.

Financial liabilities of €34.4 billion include E.ON SE's issuances of bonds in the current year totaling €1.8 billion.

Investments

The E.ON Group's cash-effective investments of €1,038 million in the first quarter of 2023 surpassed the prior-year figure of €790 million. The E.ON Group invested about €992 million in property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets (prior year: €737 million). Share investments totaled about €46 million versus €53 million in the prior year.

Customer Solutions' investments of €176 million were 6 percent above the prior-year figure of €166 million. A large portion of investments went toward various projects at Energy Infrastructure Solutions ("EIS").

Investments at Corporate Functions/Other of €39 million (prior year: €13 million) went especially toward shareholdings.

Cash Flow

Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations before interest and taxes of -€0.4 billion was slightly above the prior-year level (-€0.5 billion). Energy Networks recorded a decline to +€0.4 billion, mainly because of changes in working capital at the network business in Germany. Customer Solutions' operating cash flow before interest and taxes rose significantly, from -€1.2 billion in the prior year to +€0.4 billion in the current reporting period. Positive changes in working capital were recorded in many markets; due to derivative transactions, there were also settlements with Corporate Functions/Other. These internal settlements between E.ON Energy Markets GmbH and the segments resulting from the central procurement of power and gas were the primary reason why Corporate Functions/Other's operating cash flow was about €0.9 billion below the prior-year level. Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was adversely affected in particular by higher tax payments.

1From continuing operations.

Cash provided by investing activities of continuing operations amounted to -€0.3 billion compared with €0.6 billion in the prior-year period. This development is due in part to lower repayments of margins from commodity futures transactions in the current reporting year. In addition, cash-effective investments rose by about €0.2 billion.

Cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations of €0.9 billion was €2.6 billion below the prior-year figure of €3.5 billion. The change mainly reflects the net of the issuance and repayment of bonds and commercial paper. This was partially offset by effects relating to variation margins due in particular to the settlement of derivative transactions.

Risks and Chances Report

The 2022 Combined Group Management Report describes in detail E.ON's management system for assessing risks and chances and the measures it takes to limit risks.

Risks and Chances

In the normal course of business, E.ON is subject to a number of risks and chances that are inseparably linked to the operation of its businesses. They are described in detail in the 2022 Combined Group Management Report. With regard to identified chances and risks, the E.ON Group's risk and chance position described there remained essentially unchanged from a structural perspective at the end of the first quarter of 2023. Commodity prices, which rose sharply in 2022 in conjunction with the war in Ukraine, declined significantly in the first quarter of 2023. This has tangible implications for the assessment of individual risks and chances. For example, there is a less of an impact from sales volume and price effects and bad debts in the sales business and from network losses and redispatch measures at Energy Networks. Lower commodity prices also lead to a further decline in counterparty risks, whose likelihood of occurrence additionally remains very low because of our major suppliers' good credit ratings and system relevance.

The E.ON Group's aggregated range of risks and chances remains classified as "major" owing to the ongoing energy crisis. This risk assessment is based on the current level of commodity prices.

Assessment of the Risk Situation

From today's perspective, E.ON does not perceive any risks that could threaten the existence of the E.ON Group.
