Interim Report

Business Model

E.ON is an investor-owned energy company with approximately 69,000 employees led by Corporate Functions in Essen. The Group's core business is divided into two operating segments: Energy Networks and Customer Solutions. Non-strategic operations are reported under Non-Core Business; corporate functions and equity interests managed directly by E.ON SE are reported under Corporate Functions/Other.

Corporate Functions

Corporate Functions' main task is to lead the E.ON Group. This involves charting E.ON's strategic course and managing and funding its existing business portfolio. Corporate Functions' tasks include optimizing E.ON's overall business across countries and markets from a financial, strategic, and risk perspective and conducting stakeholder management.

Energy Networks

This segment consists of E.ON's power and gas distribution networks and related activities. It is subdivided into three regional markets: Germany, Sweden, and East-Central Europe/Turkey (which consists of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Poland, Croatia, Slovakia, and the stake in Enerjisa Enerji in Turkey, which is accounted for using the equity method). This segment's main tasks include operating its power and gas networks safely and reliably, carrying out all necessary maintenance and repairs, and expanding its power and gas networks, which frequently involves adding customer connections and the connection of renewable energy generation assets.

Customer Solutions

This segment serves as the platform for working with E.ON's customers to actively shape Europe's energy transition. This includes supplying customers in Europe (excluding Turkey) with power, gas, and heat and offering products and services that enhance their energy efficiency and autonomy and provide other benefits. E.ON's activities are tailored to the individual needs of customers across all categories: residential, small and mediumsized enterprises, large commercial and industrial, sales partners, and public entities. E.ON's main presence in this business is in Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Sweden, Italy, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Romania, Poland, and Slovakia. In addition, the Combined Group Management Report discloses Energy Infrastructure Solutions' activities in the Customer Solutions segment. Energy Infrastructure Solutions engages in activities aimed at decarbonizing E.ON's commercial and industrial customers, such as sustainable city solutions and district heating.

Non-Core Business

This segment consists of the E.ON Group's non-strategic activities. This applies to the operation and dismantling of nuclear power stations in Germany (which is managed by the PreussenElektra unit) and the generation business in Turkey.

Special Events in the Reporting Period

Corporate Bonds Issued

E.ON issued several corporate bonds totaling €2.8 billion in the first quarter of 2022.

• €500 million bond that matures in January 2026 and has a coupon of 0.125 percent (January 2022)

  • €800 million green bond that matures in October 2034 and has a coupon of 0.875 percent (January 2022)
  • €750 million green bond that matures in January 2025 and has a coupon of 0.875 percent (March 2022)
  • €750 million green bond that matures in March 2031 and has a coupon of 1.625 percent (March 2022)

Russia's Invasion of Ukraine Creates Significant Macroeconomic Uncertainty and Impacts the Energy Sector

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a military attack on Ukraine. The invasion has already had far-reaching economic repercussions as well as direct impacts on the energy sector in particular. The section below entitled "Business Report" provides more detailed information starting on page 7.

E.ON's priority in these turbulent times is to secure the energy supply. E.ON's power, gas, and heat networks are running stably in large parts of Europe, even in the current situation.

The war's repercussions also have implications for E.ON's business, in particular due to higher commodity prices. These implications are described in greater detail below in the sections entitled "Earnings Situation" and "Financial Situation." In addition, our 2021 Annual Report provided commentary on other possible risks for E.ON. One of them is a possible measurement risk for financial assets, including the investment in Nord Stream AG held in pension plan assets. Amid heightened uncertainty, measurement of this investment at June 30, 2022, resulted in a decline of about €700 million relative to December 31, 2021. This decrease was recognized in equity in other non-operating income. The situation assessable at the balance-sheet date indicated no triggering events that would necessitate impairment charges on non-current assets,

Corporate Profile Business Report Forecast Report Risks and Chances Report Business Segments

in particular goodwill, other intangible assets, and property, plant, and equipment.

Operations during the Covid-19 Pandemic

E.ON' priorities during the Covid-19 pandemic are a secure energy supply and the safety of employees, customers, and business partners.

E.ON continuously analyzes the risk situation resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic and, if necessary, will take additional measures to contain the pandemic's impact.

There have been no significant Covid-19-related implications for the E.ON's Group's earnings situation or employment situation in 2022.

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, the

VSEH Group's business operations, which previously had been fully consolidated, will be accounted for using the equity method.

The transaction is planned to close by the end of 2022.

Disposal of Universal Service Provider Business in Hungary

To further optimize E.ON's portfolio in Hungary, E.ON Hungária Zrt. signed an agreement with MVM Zrt. on February 23, 2022, to sell 100 percent of its stake in E.ON Áramszolgáltató Kft. ("EÁS"). EÁS holds a regional universal service provider license under which it supplies electricity to customers in certain regions of Hungary. The transaction closed on April 14, 2022.

Science Based Targets Initiative Confirms E.ON Targets for Reducing CO2 Emissions

E.ON systematically promotes the sustainable development of the energy world. This focus is also reflected in E.ON's ambitious climate targets, which in late May 2022 were officially validated by the Science Based Target Initiative ("SBTi"). E.ON's Group-wide sustainability strategy explicitly commits it to the Paris Climate Agreement's 1.5 degree target. Against this backdrop, E.ON set science-based emission-reduction targets.

E.ON's stated objective is to be climate-neutral by 2040 and to reduce the emissions that it can directly influence (Scope 1 and 2) by 100 percent by this time. By 2050, E.ON also aims to reduce its Scope 3 emissions by 100 percent relative to 2019.

Subsequent Events

E.ON and Igneo Establish Joint Venture for Accelerated High-Speed Broadband Rollout

In mid-July, E.ON and Igneo Infrastructure Partners signed an agreement to found a joint venture for the rollout of high-speed broadband infrastructure in Germany. Igneo will acquire a 50 percent stake in Westenergie Breitband GmbH, until now a wholly owned E.ON SE subsidiary. The transaction, which is subject to customary approvals, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of

  1. The future joint venture plans to provide high-speed broadband connections to more than 1.5 million households and wholesale customers in Germany.

E.ON subsidiary Westenergie remains a 50-percent shareholder; the company's activities will be recorded in E.ON's Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method.

At Capital Markets Day in the fall of 2021, E.ON announced that it planned to conduct €2 to €4 billion of portfolio optimization. The Igneo transaction is the first such measure.

Business Report

Industry Environment

Macroeconomic Environment

Europe's energy markets were already dominated in the first quarter of 2022 by the effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the associated international sanctions. In the reporting period, fears of disruptions in the supply of natural gas considerably exacerbated the situation on an already tight market. For example, wholesale prices for electricity and gas in Germany continued to rise on futures markets in May. After a brief easing in early June, both electricity and gas prices again rose significantly beginning in mid-June. Following the positive effects of the lifting of pandemic restrictions at the start of the year, rising energy prices caused the macroeconomic development of many European countries to falter again. The spring reports of leading economic research institutes in Germany forecast GDP growth of only 2.7 percent for the current year. In the fall of 2021, the institutes were anticipating growth of 4.8 percent in 2022. The German Council of Economic Experts is even more pessimistic, predicting growth of just 1.8 percent.

According to the Federal Statistical Office, Germany's inflation rate in June 2022 was 7.6 percent year on year. The European Commission also predicts inflation of 7.6 percent for the euro zone

in 2022. The main reason for this is continued high energy prices; supply bottlenecks due to disrupted supply chains and generally higher prices were additional factors. To combat high inflation, the European Central Bank ("ECB") raised its key interest rate by 0.5 percent in July 2022 and announced further rate increases.

The main cause of the nervousness on energy markets, which in turn has caused great uncertainty among consumers and companies, has been the Russian government, which has aroused uncertainty regarding gas deliveries to Europe. In June, for example, the Russian state-owned company Gazprom reduced gas deliveries through Nord Stream 1 pipeline to 40 percent. Scheduled maintenance work entirely interrupted the flow of gas in this pipeline between July 11 and 21. Following the maintenance, gas deliveries through Nord Stream 1 resumed. Initially, the amount of deliveries was back at the level immediately before the start of maintenance work; that is, about 40 percent of the pipeline's transport capacity. On short notice, however, Gazprom halved this amount, citing the need to service a compressor turbine. It is unclear how much gas Russia will transport through the pipeline over the long term.

Energy Policy Environment

On June 23, the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (German abbreviation: "BMWK") responded to the reduction in gas deliveries by declaring the second level—the alert level—of Germany's gas emergency plan. The ministry emphasized that the country's gas supply was currently secure and that its gas storage facilities were 58 percent full (as of June 23, 2022), which is better than in the prior year. The ministry also announced a number of measures to mitigate the consequences of lower gas flows and to maintain security of supply. Examples include developing alternative gas supply options and further accelerating the expansion of renewables. In addition, the German federal government called on households and industry to conserve energy. Furthermore, the Gas Storage Act sets specific inventory levels for gas storage facilities in Germany, which must be 85 percent full by

October 1 and 95 percent full by November 1. Additional tenders will be held in stages to meet these requirements.

The German government also laid the legal foundation for dealing with a gas shortage. The Energy Security Act (German abbreviation: "EnSiG") was amended for the event of a national gas shortage. For example, Section 29 of the EnSiG provides for financial stabilization measures for critical infrastructure companies. Impacted companies in the energy sector whose economic existence is threatened can, if necessary, apply for state aid. E.ON does not face such a situation.

In addition, Section 26 of the EnSiG introduces a new, alternative mechanism, called the net price adjustment right. Under this mechanism, the additional costs of procuring gas needed to replace reduced gas imports can be passed through to consumers more evenly and predictably. The amount of the levy, which will be the same for all gas suppliers and calculated in cents per kilowatthour, is not yet known (as of August 2, 2022). Robert Habeck, Federal Minister of Economic Affairs, spoke to the media of a possible price range of 1.5 to five cents per kilowatt-hour. The Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action has begun a departmental coordination process to specify the details; the federal cabinet is to pass a legal ordinance shortly, which is currently expected to take effect by mid-August 2022. The ordinance is expected to be valid for a limited period, from October 1, 2022, to September 30, 2024.

This mechanism thus supplements the previously enacted price adjustment right contained in Section 24 of the EnSiG. For the measures to take effect, the Federal Network Agency must identify a significant reduction in total gas imports to Germany after declaring the alarm or emergency level of Germany's gas emergency plan. The Federal Ministry of Economics emphasized that the measures will not currently be activated, but are available as options in order to be able to act in the event of further increases in gas prices and an escalation of the situation.

Finally, the EnSiG even allows the expropriation of companies as a last resort.

Furthermore, the Federal Network Agency, in its role as the federal load distributor, could issue orders to gas companies and consumers pursuant to the Gas Security Ordinance (German abbreviation: "GasSV") that affect the production, procurement, and supply of gas. The last resort would be to suspend gas deliveries. Additional information can be found in the Risks and Chances Report on page 20.

The German government had previously adopted two relief packages for consumers. In some cases, they foresee government subsidies of several hundred euros per person. Because this will not cover all additional costs, further relief is under discussion; however, the form it will take is currently unclear. State aid for companies was adopted as well.

Other European countries also responded to high energy costs. For example, almost 8 million of the neediest households in the United Kingdom will receive at least £1,200 from the state this year. This will increase total cost-of-living assistance in the United Kingdom this year to £37 billion.

The Dutch government is likewise providing relief for consumers. A household with average energy consumption will receive a total rebate of around €545 on its energy bill in 2022. The electricity tax was reduced, all households will receive a higher energy tax rebate (it is a fixed rebate that does not depend on energy consumption), and the VAT on energy (natural gas, electricity, and district heating) will be reduced from 21 percent to 9 percent. Low-income households will receive additional support in the form of a roughly €1,300 energy subsidy.

The European Commission proposed additional mechanisms at the European level to address a gas emergency. Within a few days, the EU member states then agreed on an emergency plan to reduce gas consumption. It foresees a voluntary 15-percent reduction in

Corporate Profile Business Report Forecast Report Risks and Chances Report Business Segments

national gas consumption between August 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023. It also aims to provide the option of setting binding reduction targets in the event of widespread supply shortages. Consumers, public authorities, households, owners of public buildings, energy suppliers, and industrial companies are encouraged to take steps to conserve gas. The European Commission will also accelerate efforts to diversify energy suppliers so that the EU has more options for procuring gas from alternative sources. E.ON believes that the impact of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and the resulting developments in energy prices will further accelerate the trend away from natural gas as a fossil fuel and the associated rapid growth in renewables and hydrogen, increased use of heat pumps, and greater use of green district heating. E.ON will help shape and propel this transformation, and its gas networks will play an important role as well. In addition, E.ON advocates regulations that best support this long-term transformation path.

E.ON also supports efforts by the German government, the EU, and other European countries to adjust the legal framework in order to safeguard market participants' ability to act. This includes policy measures to ease the burden on consumers, needs-based regulations for price adjustments, and stabilization options for individual energy companies whose economic existence is threatened. In particular, it is important to avoid an undesirable domino effect or even a collapse in the market caused by companies that have significantly higher liquidity requirements for gas procurement due to the development of gas prices and high replacement costs for Russian gas imports that are no longer available.

Earnings Situation

  • Customer Solutions' sales higher due to sharp rise in commodity prices
  • Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income on balance below the prior-year figures because of price developments on commodity markets, the non-recurrence of a one-off effect in 2021 in conjunction with the refund of residual power purchases, and the shutdown of Brokdorf and Grohnde nuclear power plants at the end of December 2021

Business Performance

As anticipated, E.ON's operating business declined in the first half of 2022 amid the current crisis situation in Europe. Although sales rose by €19.8 billion year on year to €52.8 billion, adjusted EBITDA in E.ON's core businesses of €3.6 billion was 4 percent below the prior-year figure (€3.7 billion). First-half adjusted EBITDA for the E.ON Group declined by 15 percent, from €4.8 billion to €4.1 billion. Adjusted net income of €1.4 billion was lower as well, declining by 20 percent from the prior-year figure of €1.8 billion. E.ON recorded earnings per share on adjusted net income ("EPS") of €0.54 in the first half of 2022 (prior year: €0.68). Investments in the core business declined (from: €1.8 billion in the first half of 2021 to €1.7 billion in the current reporting period), as they did at the Group level (from €1.9 billion to €1.7 billion). This is because in the prior year Non-Core Business invested to acquire residual power output rights and there were subsequent purchase-price payments in conjunction with the innogy acquisition.

The development of key figures in the first half of 2022 is primarily attributable to price developments on commodity markets and to Non-Core Business. By contrast, synergies and efficiency enhancements, in particular at the network business in Germany and at the U.K. sales business, had a positive impact on earnings.

Sales

Sales in the first half of 2022 rose by 60 percent year on year to €52.8 billion.

Energy Networks' sales increased by €0.5 billion relative to the prior year to €9.6 billion. Customer Solutions' sales rose by about €16 billion to €42.1 billion. The increase is mainly attributable to price developments on commodity markets and impacts, in particular, the sales business in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.

Sales

Electricity and gas taxes of €952 million were significantly lower than a year earlier (€1,597 million). The decrease relates in particular to the sales business in the Netherlands (€601 million) and is attributable to reduced tax rates due to high energy prices.

Other Line Items from the Consolidated Statements of Income

Own work capitalized of €345 million was 18 percent above the prior-year figure of €292 million. Own work capitalized consisted predominantly of completed IT projects as well as own work capitalized in the networks business.

E.ON Group 23,338 14,638 59 52,845 33,040 60

Sales recorded at Corporate Functions/Other of €18.6 billion were €13.8 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. The settlement of derivatives (€3.9 billion) amid rising prices on commodity markets likewise led to significantly higher sales. The internal service relationships from central energy procurement are offset by corresponding consolidations.

Sales at Non-Core Business declined by €253 million year on year to €457 million, mainly because Brokdorf and Grohnde nuclear power plants were shut down as planned on December 31, 2021. The decrease was only partially offset by higher sales prices on power marketed from Isar 2 nuclear power plant.

First-half other operating income totaled €47,742 million (prior year: €9,590 million).

Income from derivative financial instruments rose by €38,963 million relative to the prior-year figure (€7,906 million), principally because of the continued rise in commodity prices. Income from currency-translation effects of €286 million was €98 million lower than the prior-year figure. Corresponding amounts resulting from currency-translation effects and derivative financial instruments are recorded under other operating expenses. The sale of equity interests and securities resulted in income of €107 million (prior year: €172 million).

Costs of materials of €63,020 million were significantly above the prior-year figure of €27,394 million. The sharp increase (€35,626 million) relates mainly to price developments on commodity markets, which led to higher direct procurement costs.

E.ON Interim Report II/2022

But it also meant that forward procurement contacts, which under IFRS are accounted for as derivative financial instruments, had to be adjusted to the current market price at the time of settlement. Income from the settlement of commodity derivatives is recorded under other operating income. The creation of provisions for pending transactions was also recognized in costs of materials. These provisions were mainly created for contracted sales transactions that are not subject to IFRS 9 (failed own-use transactions) but that are commercially part of a portfolio and that are partially offset by procurement transactions that are accounted for as derivative financial instruments.

Personnel costs of €2,680 million were €186 million below the prior-year figure of €2,866 million. The change is mainly attributable to a decline in the number of employees and lower expenditures for pension schemes. Lower expenditures for restructuring measures were an additional factor.

Depreciation charges declined from €1,927 million in the prioryear period to €1,652 million. The change mainly reflects the absence of scheduled depreciation charges on property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets of Grohnde and Brokdorf nuclear power plants, which went offline on December 31, 2021.

Other operating expenses of €31,822 million were €24,555 million above the prior-year figure of €7,267 million, chiefly because expenditures relating to derivative financial instruments (including currency-translation changes) rose by €24,747 million to €29,461 million. Expenditures relating to currency-translation effects declined by €433 million to €209 million.

Income from companies accounted for under the equity method of €15 million was significantly below the prior-year level (€233 million), predominantly because of developments in Turkey, where improved operating earnings were offset by impairment charges resulting from the initial application of IAS 29 due to hyperinflation in Turkey.

Adjusted EBITDA

Effective January 1, 2022, we use earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization adjusted to exclude extraordinary effects ("adjusted EBITDA") for the internal control of our intended growth and as an indicator of our business units' sustainable earnings strength.

The core business's first-half adjusted EBITDA declined by €147 million to €3,581 million (prior year: €3,728 million). Europe/Turkey is chiefly attributable to higher procurement costs for network losses (especially in Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia) and to the disposal of two network operators in Hungary in the third quarter of 2021. The adverse earnings effect of increased expenditures for network losses is only temporary. Existing regulatory mechanisms enable these expenditures to be recovered through higher income in subsequent periods.

E.ON Group adjusted EBITDA 1,973 2,323 -15 4,061 4,768 -15

Energy Networks' adjusted EBITDA of €2,654 million was 3 percent below the prior-year figure of €2,737 million. Adjusted EBITDA in Germany improved as planned primarily due to the reversal of negative earnings effects from previous years, the realization of synergies, and further growth in the regulated asset base due to additional investments. These positive effects were partially offset by higher commodity prices and warmer weather. Adjusted EBITDA in Sweden declined because of a reduction in sales volume due in particular to warmer weather in the first quarter of 2022 and because of higher expenditures for line losses and storm damage. The earnings decline at East-Central

First-half adjusted EBITDA at Customer Solutions declined by 8 percent year on year to €1,024 million. Adverse effects in Germany continued to be persistently higher energy procurement costs that could only be gradually passed through to customers after the first quarter. These adverse effects were only partially offset by the realization of synergies, operating improvements, and positive weather effects. The increase in the United Kingdom resulted mainly from cost savings along with weather and consumption effects. Weather effects and a reduction in customer churn led to a positive earnings performance in the Netherlands as well. By contrast, several regions in East-Central Europe recorded

Corporate Profile Business Report Forecast Report Risks and Chances Report Business Segments

a temporary decline in earnings that is primarily attributable to higher procurement costs, including in Romania, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

Adjusted EBITDA at Non-Core Business decreased by 54 percent year on year to €480 million. This was due to the non-recurrence of the one-off effect in 2021 relating to the agreement between the German government and nuclear power plant operators on nuclear power output rights and the resulting refund of residual power purchases and to the fact that Brokdorf and Grohnde

nuclear power plants were shut down as planned on December 31, 2021. These factors were offset by higher sales prices relative to the prior year.

The E.ON Group recorded adjusted EBITDA of €4,061 million, which was €700 million below the prior-year figure.

Reconciliation to Adjusted Earnings Metrics

EBITDA is adjusted mainly for expenditures and income that are non-recurring or seldom in nature. The adjustments include effects resulting from the marking to market of derivative financial instruments at the balance-sheet date, certain restructuring expenses, net book gains, and other non-operating earnings. In the second quarter, IAS 29 was applied for the first time due to hyperinflation in Turkey; items that affect earnings are likewise recorded in other non-operating earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is independent of investment and depreciation cycles and simultaneously an indicator of cash-effective earnings and also facilitates the targeted management of our intended growth.

The disclosures in the Consolidated Statements of Income are reconciled to the adjusted earnings metrics below.

Reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA

Net income attributable to shareholders of E.ON SE and corresponding earnings per share amounted to €2.3 billion and €0.87, respectively. In the prior-year period E.ON recorded net income of €2.5 billion and earnings per share of €0.98.

Continuing operations in the first half of 2022 yielded tax income of €11 million (prior year: a tax expense of €721 million). This resulted in a tax rate of 0 percent. A one-off effect from the measurement of deferred tax assets in connection with the development of net pension obligations was the main source of tax relief in the reporting period.

Financial results improved significantly relative to the prior-year period. Lower interest expenses on debt financing contributed to the improvement in operating interest income. The remaining change mainly reflects items in non-operating interest expense/income. The very positive development of provisions due to increased discount rates was only partially offset by negative valuation effects on securities recognized at fair value. The positive effect of €106 million (prior year: €148 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 likewise recorded under non-operating interest expense/income.

Restructuring expenses were significantly lower than in the 2021 reporting period and consisted primarily of expenditures in conjunction with the restructuring of the sales business in the United Kingdom.

Effects in conjunction with derivative financial instruments declined by €599 million year on year to €602 million. Sharply higher commodity prices continued to lead to wide fluctuations in the fair value of commodity derivatives.

Non-operating impairment charges in the current year consist mainly of writedowns on a shareholding in Croatia and on the subsequent valuation of operations in Slovakia pursuant to IFRS 5.

Value effects for, among other items, non-current provisions, bonds denominated in foreign currencies, and effects from subsequent adjustments to purchase prices are also disclosed in other non-operating earnings on a regular basis. The increase resulted mainly from the creation of provisions for mining damage at Corporate Functions/Other, an adjustment to provisions for nuclear asset-retirement obligations at PreussenElektra due to price effects, and earnings effects in the equity valuation of shareholdings in Turkey in conjunction with IAS 29.

Reconciliation to Adjusted Net Income

Derived from adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income is an earnings figure after interest income, income taxes, and non-controlling interests that likewise has been adjusted to exclude non-operating effects. The adjustments include the aforementioned items as well as interest expense/income not affecting net income (after taxes and non-controlling interests).

Adjusted net income declined by 20 percent to €1,413 million (prior-year figure of €1,765 million). Besides the above-described effects in the reconciliation to adjusted EBITDA, this reconciliation includes the following items.

Non-operating expense/income rose by €797 million relative to the 2021 reporting period. This is mainly attributable to the changes in financial results commented on above under "Reconciliation to Adjusted EBIT."

The tax rate on operating earnings of continuing operations rose from 23 percent in the prior-year period to 25 percent. The reasons for the lower tax rate in the prior year included the utilization of tax losses, which served to reduce the tax rate.

Non-controlling interests' share of operating earnings declined from €288 million to €248 million, principally because of lower operating earnings at companies with a significant proportion of non-controlling interests.

Financial Situation

  • Economic net debt lower relative to year-end 2021
  • Provisions for pensions declined significantly owing to higher actuarial discount rates
  • Operating cash flow before interest and taxes surpasses prior year
  • Investments in core business at prior-year level

E.ON presents its financial condition using, among other financial measures, economic net debt and operating cash flow before interest and taxes.

Financial Position

Economic net debt improved by €1.3 billion relative to year-end 2021 (€38.8 billion) to €37.4 billion.

E.ON's net financial position deteriorated by €2.6 billion relative to year-end 2021, from €‑24.7 billion to €‑27.2 billion. Positive operating cash flow was more than offset by E.ON SE's dividend payment, investment expenditures and margining effects for power and gas procurement.

Financial liabilities of €35.9 billion include E.ON SE's four issuances of bonds in the current year totaling €2.8 billion.

The increase in actuarial discount rates for pensions, which led to a reduction in defined benefit obligations, more than offset the decline in the value of plan assets and had a positive impact on economic net debt and equity (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

1Bonds issued by innogy are recorded at their nominal value. The figure shown in the consolidated balance sheets is €1.8 billion higher (year-end 2021: €1.9 billion higher). 2This figure is not the same as the asset-retirement obligations shown in the consolidated balance sheets (€8,508 million at June 30, 2022; €9,230 million at December 31, 2021). This is because economic net debt is calculated in part based on the actual amount of E.ON's obligations.

E.ON's creditworthiness has been assessed by Standard & Poor's ("S&P") and Moody's with long-term ratings of BBB and Baa2, respectively. The outlook for both ratings is stable. Both S&P and Moody's anticipated that, over the near and medium term, E.ON will be able to maintain a debt ratio commensurate with these ratings. S&P's and Moody's short-term ratings are at A-2 and P-2, respectively.

In May 2022, E.ON decided to commission Fitch Ratings to assess its creditworthiness as well. The Company is therefore assessed by all three major rating agencies. Fitch rates E.ON's corporate credit risk at BBB+ with a stable outlook, its bonds at A-, and its commercial paper at F2.

Investments

The E.ON Group's cash-effective investments of €1.7 billion in the first half of 2022 were below the prior-year figure of €1.9 billion. The E.ON Group invested about €1.7 billion in property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets (prior year: €1.7 billion). Share investments totaled about €76 million versus €162 million in the prior year.

Investments in the core business of €1.7 billion were nearly at the prior-year level. Energy Networks' investments of €1.4 billion, which were slightly above the prior-year figure (€1.3 billion), went principally toward new connections and network expansion in conjunction with the energy transition.

Customer Solutions' investments increased by 12 percent year on year to €337 million, mainly because of higher investments in projects relating to distributed energy generation at Energy Infrastructure Solutions ("EIS").

Corporate Profile Business Report Forecast Report Risks and Chances Report Business Segments

Investments at Corporate Functions/Other declined by €112 million to €25 million. The reason is that the prior-year figure included subsequent purchase-price payments in conjunction with the innogy acquisition.

Non-Core Business's investments decreased as well, declining by €143 million year on year to €5 million, because PreussenElektra did not acquire residual power output rights in the first half of 2022.

Cash Flow

Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations before interest and taxes of €2.6 billion was €0.4 billion above the prior-year level (€2.2 billion). The increase at Energy Networks (+€0.8 billion) mainly reflects positive changes in working capital at the network business in Germany. Customer Solutions recorded a year-on-year decline of -€0.4 billion, primarily because of higher procurement costs at sales companies. The on-schedule shutdown of nuclear power plants was the principal factor in Non-Core Business's operating cash flow declining by -€0.2 billion.

Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations benefited from lower interest and tax payments.

1From continuing operations.

Cash provided by investing activities of continuing operations totaled -€2 million versus -€1.4 billion in the prior-year period. This positive development is primarily attributable to higher margin repayments on commodity futures transactions, whereas investments were nearly at the prior-year level.

Cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations of €0.1 billion was €1.0 billion above the prior-year figure of -€0.9 billion. The increase mainly reflected the greater amount of bonds issued relative to the prior year.

Total assets and liabilities of €146.0 billion were about €26.2 billion, or 22 percent, above the figure at year-end 2021. Non-current assets rose by €13.5 billion to €94.1 billion. This is mainly attributable to an increase in receivables on derivative financial instruments.

Current assets increased by 33 percent, from €39.1 billion to €51.9 billion. This likewise resulted from the change in receivables on derivative financial instruments and an increase in trade receivables.

Equity attributable to E.ON SE shareholders was about €17.5 billion, at June 30, 2022. Equity attributable to noncontrolling interests was roughly €6.2 billion .The equity ratio (including non-controlling interests) at June 30, 2022, was 16 percent, which is 1 percentage point higher than at year-end 2021.

The remeasurement of pension obligations was the primary factor. This effect was partially offset by a decline in the value of plan assets. Positive effects relating to interest-rate and commodity cash-flow hedges recorded under other comprehensive income constituted an additional factor.

Non-current debt rose by €8.1 billion, or 13 percent, chiefly because of the development of liabilities relating to derivative financial instruments, non-current bonds, and other provisions for contingent losses from pending transactions in conjunction with the rise in energy prices on commodity markets. This was partially offset by a reduction in provisions for pensions.

Current debt of €52.9 billion was 30 percent above the figure at year-end 2021, due principally to an increase in other provisions for contingent losses from pending transactions and an increase in liabilities relating to derivative financial instruments.

Employees–Core Workforce

At June 30, 2022, the E.ON Group employed a core workforce of 68,535 employees. This figure includes part-time employees on a proportional basis. The number of employees declined by 1,198 FTE relative to year-end 2021.

At 49 percent, the proportion of employees working outside Germany—33,857 FTE—was slightly lower than at year-end 2021. Apprentices are not included in the core workforce. At the end of June, 1,763 young people were learning a profession at E.ON in Germany.

Energy Networks' core workforce was almost unchanged. On balance, efficiency measures and restructuring programs made it possible to shift resources to growing businesses.

The decline in Customer Solutions' core workforce mainly reflects restructuring projects, primarily in the United Kingdom and Germany, as well as the disposal of innogy e-Mobility Solutions GmbH.

The slight decline in the number of employees at Corporate Functions/Other resulted predominantly from voluntary

terminations in conjunction with the innogy integration and natural fluctuation.

Corporate Profile Business Report Forecast Report Risks and Chances Report Business Segments

The Combined Group Management Report contained in the 2021 Annual 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 that are inseparably linked to the operation of its businesses. The resulting risks and chances are described in detail in the 2021 Combined Group Management Report. With regard to risk identification, the E.ON Group's risk and chance position described there remained essentially unchanged at the end of the first half of 2022. However, the further sharp increase in commodity prices in 2022 in conjunction with the war in Ukraine has significant implications for the assessment of individual risks and, on the positive side, individual chances. On the one hand, the increase has a positive effect on the marketing of PreussenElektra's remaining power generation activities; on the other, it is a material risk factor for unplanned unavailability at PreussenElektra, for volume and price effects and possible bad debts in the sales business, and for network losses at Energy Networks. Higher commodity prices also lead to a further increase in counterparty risks; however, our major suppliers' good credit ratings and system relevance continue to render the likelihood of occurrence very low.

In particular, the further sharp rise in commodity prices has changed the aggregated risk of the Group as a whole from "major" to "high." This risk assessment is based on the current level of commodity prices. It does not factor in a possible suspension of Russian natural gas deliveries and the potentially resulting supply bottlenecks or the related macroeconomic repercussions.

The effects of a possible suspension of Russian natural gas deliveries and the potentially resulting supply bottlenecks were assessed centrally by means of a scenario analysis. The analysis involved estimating the impact on key risk drivers and then calculating the resulting implications for E.ON's liquidity and earnings situation. The actual implications will depend to a large extent on market intervention in conjunction with the declaration of the emergency level of Germany's gas emergency plan using the mechanisms available under the amended Energy Security Act (German abbrevation: "EnSiG").

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.

Business Segments

Energy Networks

Below we report important non-financial key figures for this segment; namely, power and gas passthrough.

Power and Gas Passthrough

First-half power passthrough in Germany of 116.9 billion kWh was nearly at the prior-year figure, whereas gas passthrough of 97.0 billion kWh declined. Warmer weather in the first quarter of 2022 and the current Russia-Ukraine war were the main factors.

Power passthrough in Sweden declined slightly to 18.0 billion kWh owing to weather factors.

East-Central Europe/Turkey's first-half power and gas passthrough declined to 29.3 billion kWh and 26.2 billion kWh, respectively, relative to the prior-year period. The sale of two network operators in Hungary, ETI and ÉMÁSZ, was the main reason for power. Weather was responsible for the decline in gas passthrough.

Sales and Adjusted EBITDA

Energy Networks' first-half sales of €9.6 billion surpassed the prior-year figure of €9.1 billion. Adjusted EBITDA in the first half of 2022 decreased by €83 million relative to the prior-year level of €2.7 billion.

Sales in Germany increased to about €7.8 billion (prior year: €7.2 billion) owing principally to a larger asset base along with price developments on commodity markets. The latter were accompanied by a corresponding development of expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA in Germany totaled roughly €2.1 billion (prior year: €1.9 billion). As anticipated, this improvement resulted

primarily from the reversal of negative earnings effects from previous years, the realization of synergies, and further growth in the regulated asset base due to additional investments. These effects were partially offset by higher commodity prices and warmer weather.

Corporate Profile Business Report Forecast Report Risks and Chances Report Business Segments

Sales in Sweden of €0.5 billion were slightly above the prior-year figure, mainly because of tariff adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA declined by €37 million year on year to €0.2 billion. This earnings performance principally reflects warmer weather in Sweden in the first quarter of 2022, which led to lower sales volume, as well as higher expenditures for network losses and storm damage.

Sales (€1.2 billion) as well as adjusted EBITDA (€0.4 billion) in East-Central Europe/Turkey were lower, in part because of a reduction in passthrough. Higher procurement costs for network losses (especially in Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia) and the disposal of two network operators in Hungary in the third quarter of 2021 also served to reduce earnings.

The adverse earnings effect of increased expenditures for network losses is only temporary. Existing regulatory mechanisms enable these expenditures to be recovered through higher income in subsequent periods.

Customer Solutions

Below we report important non-financial key figures for this segment; namely, power and gas sales volume.

Power and Gas Sales Volume

This segment's first-half power sales declined by 17.0 billion kWh to 136.2 billion kWh, whereas, on balance, its gas sales rose by about 27.1 billion kWh to 257.8 billion kWh. The sales business in Germany's power sales declined to 66.8 billion kWh (prior year: 73.8 billion kWh). Portfolio streamlining among sales partners was the primary factor. This was partially offset by higher power sales to residential and small and medium-sized enterprise ("SME") customers and by procurement optimization. The sales business in Germany's gas sales of 102.2 billion kWh was above the prior-year figure of 97.4 billion kWh. Although sales volume declined in all

customer groups due to weather effects, gas sold to the wholesale market was higher due to reselling.

Gas sales in the United Kingdom changed substantially. Gas sales in the first half of 2022 totaled 78.4 billion kWh compared with just 48.6 billion kWh in the prior year. This was chiefly due to higher sales to the wholesale market resulting from weatherrelated reselling and the optimization of the procurement portfolio. Gas sales to all other customer groups decreased mainly because of weather factors and portfolio adjustments for industrial and commercial ("I&C") customers and sales partners. Power sales in the reporting period of 29.9 billion kWh were nearly at the prioryear level of 30.7 billion kWh.

Sales and Adjusted EBITDA

Customer Solutions' sales in the first half of 2022 increased by about €14 billion, or 60 percent, to €42.1 billion, whereas its adjusted EBITDA of €1.0 billion was €90 million below the prioryear figure (€1.1 billion). The increase is mainly attributable to price developments on commodity markets and affected, in particular, the sales business in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.

Sales in Germany increased by 54 percent to €17.9 billion, primarily because of price developments on commodity markets. Adjusted EBITDA declined by 13 percent to €363 million. The main reason was high energy procurement costs that, since the first quarter, are gradually being passed through to customers.

Sales in the United Kingdom increased by 64 percent to €12.8 billion, adjusted EBITDA by 59 percent to €352 million. This positive earnings performance mainly reflects cost savings from the ongoing restructuring program and higher sales volume.

Sales in the Netherlands rose by 150 percent to €4.2 billion, adjusted EBITDA by 69 percent to €169 million. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA is attributable in part to positive weather effects.

Other's sales rose by 40 percent to €7.3 billion. The main reason was higher procurement costs (including in Romania, Hungary, and the Czech Republic), which will be gradually passed through in the remainder of the year yet caused first-half adjusted EBITDA to decline to €140 million (prior year: €375 million).

Non-Core Business

Below we report important non-financial key figures for this segment; namely, power generation and power procurement.

PreussenElektra's Power Generation

First-half power procured (owned generation and purchases) was about 71 percent below the prior-year figure. The year-on-year decline is attributable to the fact that Brokdorf and Grohnde nuclear power plants ("NPPs") were shut down as planned on December 31, 2021.

Sales and Adjusted EBITDA

Non-Core Business's sales of €457 million were €253 million below the prior-year figure. Adjusted EBITDA declined by €560 million to €480 million.

The year-on-year reduction in sales at PreussenElektra resulted mainly from the fact that Brokdorf and Grohnde NPPs were shut down as planned on December 31, 2021. This was partially offset by higher sales prices on power marketed from Isar 2 NPP.

The deterioration of PreussenElektra's adjusted EBITDA relative to the prior year is attributable in part to the shutdown of Brokdorf and Grohnde NPPs on December 31, 2021. Another reason for this development is the non-recurrence of the one-off effect recorded in 2021 in conjunction with the agreement between the German federal government and NPP operators on nuclear power output rights and the resulting refund of residual power purchases. This was slightly offset by higher sales prices relative to the prior year. Equity earnings on E.ON's stake in Enerjisa Üretim also surpassed the prior-year figure, primarily because of operating improvements, which were partially offset by currency-translation effects resulting from the weakening of the Turkish lira.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of E.ON SE, Essen, and its subsidiaries (E.ON Group) as of June 30, 2022, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the Interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRS IC"), as adopted by the European Union ("EU"). It is an integral part of the Interim Financial Report, which, pursuant to Section 115 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG), comprises Condensed Interim Financial Statements, an Interim Management Report and a Responsibility Statement. The Board of Management of E.ON SE authorized the Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the period ended June 30, 2022, for issue on August 8, 2022.

These Condensed Interim Financial Statements prepared in accordance with IAS 34 are condensed compared with the scope applied to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the full year. For further information, including information about E.ON's risk management system, please refer to E.ON's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which provide the basis for this Condensed Interim Report.

With the exception of the changes described in Note 2, these Condensed Interim Financial Statements were prepared using the accounting, valuation and consolidation policies used in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the 2021 fiscal year. In addition, IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" ("IAS 29") is applied for the first time. Under IAS 29, financial statements in the functional currency of a hyperinflationary economy must be expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the balance sheet date. As a result, among other things, non-monetary assets and liabilities are generally adjusted using a general price index and a gain or loss on the net monetary position is recognized. More information on this can be found in Note 8.

Estimates and judgments may affect the amount of assets and liabilities reported in the balance sheet, the information on contingent assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date and the income and expenses recognized during the reporting period. In particular, due to the currently unpredictable consequences of the war in Ukraine and the Covid-19 pandemic, these estimates and judgments are subject to increased uncertainty. The actual amounts may differ from the estimates and judgments made; changes may have a material impact on the assets, liabilities, financial position and earnings situation. When the estimates and judgments were updated on the reporting date, all available information on expected economic developments and countryspecific government measures was taken into account. For both the war in Ukraine and the Covid-19 pandemic, it is difficult to predict the duration and extent of the impact on assets, liabilities, earnings and cash flows. For more information on the effects of the war in Ukraine and the Covid-19 pandemic in the E.ON Group, please refer to Note 3.

Supplementary information on the financial statements can be found in the Interim Management Report.

(2) New Standards and Interpretations

The following effective new standards and interpretations do not have a material impact on E.ON's Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2022:

  • Amendments to IAS 16, "Proceeds before Intended Use"
  • Amendments to IAS 37, "Onerous Contracts—Cost of Fulfilling a Contract"
  • Amendments to IFRS 3, "Reference to the Conceptual Framework"
  • Minor amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41 from the IASB project, "Annual Improvements to IFRS (2018—2020 Cycle)"

(3) Impact of the War in Ukraine, the Development of the Commodity Markets and the Covid-19 Pandemic

War in Ukraine and the Development of the Commodity Markets

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a military attack on Ukraine. This invasion is having far-reaching economic consequences, and direct impacts—particularly in the energy sector—are being experienced, which are explained further in the "Industry Environment" section of the Interim Management Report.

The consequences of the war also have an impact on E.ON's business, primarily due to increased tension on the commodity markets. The continued sharp rise in commodity prices once again

Corporate Profile Business Report Forecast Report Risks and Chances Report Business Segments

resulted in significant increases in the fair value of sales and procurement transactions accounted for as derivatives, together with partly offsetting increases in provisions for onerous contracts. The impacts are explained in more detail in the sections "Earnings Situation," "Financial Situation" and "Asset Situation" of the Interim Management Report.

Additional risks for E.ON were also described in the 2021 Annual Report.

One of these was a possible valuation risk for investments, including the investment in Nord Stream AG held in the pension plan assets. In line with the increased uncertainties, the valuation of this investment at June 30, 2022, declined by around €700 million compared with December 31, 2021. Under IAS 19, this decrease was recognized directly in equity in other comprehensive income.

In the context of the situation with respect to the war in Ukraine that can be estimated as of the reporting date, no indications of impairment of non-current assets under IAS 36, in particular for goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment were identified ("triggering events").

As of June 30, 2022, no material impact of the conflict on the recoverability of trade receivables was recorded.

Potential balance sheet effects of the future development of the war in Ukraine are analyzed on an ongoing basis.

Covid-19 Pandemic

The consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic impacted E.ON's businesses in the first half of this year. However, the economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, which had a negative impact on E.ON's activities in the first half of 2021, have to a large extent dissipated in the first six months of 2022. At the same time, it should be noted that economic impacts of varying magnitude continued to be felt in individual regions and segments.

E.ON did not benefit from any significant public support measures such as loans, tax relief or compensation schemes during the reporting period. In addition, there were no significant effects on the employment situation in the E.ON Group.

Overall, no indications of impairment of non-current assets under IAS 36 were identified for the E.ON Group as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic ("triggering events").

(4) Scope of Consolidation

(5) Acquisitions, Disposals and Discontinued Operations

Consortium Agreement with RheinEnergie

On June 29, 2021, Westenergie AG, a fully consolidated subsidiary of the E.ON Group, entered into a new consortium agreement with

RheinEnergie AG. This agreement will enable E.ON to exert significant influence on the further development of the energy supply in one of Germany's fastest-growing economic regions and to benefit from growth and synergies in the Rhineland. According to current plans, Westenergie and RheinEnergie will merge shareholdings in individual municipal utilities into rhenag Rheinische Energie Aktiengesellschaft (rhenag), a subsidiary that is also fully consolidated in the E.ON Group. During this process, regional shareholdings of both parties will be contributed to rhenag. rhenag continues to be fully consolidated by Westenergie. Independently of this, Westenergie and RheinEnergie will further optimize their operational cooperation with regard to plant management, leases and service agreements. The implementation of the steps provided for in the consortium agreement is still subject to the approval of the Bundeskartellamt (German Federal Cartel Office). This transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2022. Within the framework of the entire transaction, Westenergie will transfer an additional 20 percent of the shares of Stadtwerke Duisburg, which is included in the consolidated financial statements as an associated company, to RheinEnergie, which will increase its share in RheinEnergie from 20 to 24.9 percent. The shareholding in Stadtwerke Duisburg is allocated to the Energy Networks Germany segment, since Q2 2021, the investment has been reported for the first time as an asset held for sale under IFRS 5 in the amount of €154 million. No impairment loss was recognized from the comparison of the carrying amount with its fair value less costs to sell.

KG to Essener Versorgungs- und Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH (EVV), with effect from January 1, 2022. Technical equipment such as the low-voltage grid of the city of Essen was transferred to this company, also with effect from January 1, 2022. Since the closing of the transaction, these assets have been leased back from E.ON, so that E.ON continues to operate the network. In Q3 2021, the criteria of IFRS 5 for reporting the assets to be contributed as held for sale were met for the first time. As a result, the corresponding property, plant and equipment in the amount of €136 million included in the Energy Networks Germany segment was reported separately under "Assets held for sale" in the balance sheet up until disposal. No impairment loss was recognized from the comparison of the carrying amount with its fair value less costs to sell.

Disposal of Westenergie Breitband GmbH

E.ON sold 50 percent of its shareholding in the fully consolidated subsidiary Westenergie Breitband GmbH to Igneo Infrastructure Partners on July 15, 2022. The closing of the transaction is expected in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to customary approvals. As of this date, Westenergie Breitband GmbH is accounted for as a joint venture using the equity method in E.ON's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In cooperation with the new partner, the high-speed broadband infrastructure in Germany will be expanded. Under the plan, more than 1.5 million households and large customers in Germany will be supplied with fiber-optic broadband lines in the future. As of June 30, 2022, the criteria of IFRS 5 for reporting the disposal group as held for sale were met for the first time. As a result, the assets and liabilities of Westenergie Breitband GmbH, which is allocated to the Energy Networks Germany segment, have since been reported in the balance sheet as "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities associated with assets held for sale," respectively. The assets classified as held for sale at June 30, 2022, amount to €731 million, of which €429 million are non-current assets, €29 million are current assets and €4 million are deferred tax assets. Goodwill of €269 million was also allocated from the Energy Networks Germany segment. The corresponding liabilities amount to €167 million, of which €154 million are operating liabilities, €4 million are provisions and €9 million are deferred tax liabilities.

Conclusion of a Future Consolidation Agreement

by ZSE shareholders

On April 8, 2022, the shareholders of Západoslovenská energetika a.s. ("ZSE") and 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 ZSE and the Slovakian state a 51-percent stake. The new ZSE shareholder agreement, which has yet to be concluded, is intended to essentially correspond to the shareholder agreement that is also currently in force. After closing of the agreement, ZSE will continue to be accounted for as a joint venture using the equity method in E.ON's Consolidated Financial Statements, while the business activities of VSEH, which was previously fully consolidated, will also be presented using the equity method in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The transaction is expected to be closed 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. Assets classified as held for sale (before minority interest deduction) at June 30, 2022, amount to €1,118 million, of which €905 million are non-current assets, €208 million are current assets and €5 million are deferred tax assets. Goodwill of €201 million was also allocated. The corresponding liabilities (before minority interest deduction) amount to €739 million, of which €343 million are financial liabilities, €256 million are operating liabilities, €32 million are provisions and €108 million are deferred tax liabilities. No impairments were recognized in the second quarter.

Disposal of the Universal Service Provider

Business in Hungary

To further optimize its portfolio in Hungary, on February 23, 2022, E.ON Hungária Zrt. signed an agreement with MVM Zrt. to sell 100 percent of its shares in E.ON Áramszolgáltató Kft. ("EÁS").

Corporate Profile Business Report Forecast Report Risks and Chances Report Business Segments

EÁS holds a regional Universal Service Provider license and supplies electricity to customers in certain regions in Hungary on this basis. As of December 31, 2021, the transaction was expected to be successfully concluded within the next twelve months. As a result, EÁS and the universal service provider business respectively, which was allocated to the Customer Solutions Other segment in the E.ON Group, was reported as a disposal group in accordance with IFRS 5 as of December 31, 2021. The transaction was concluded on April 14, 2022, and the deconsolidation result amounted to -€11 million. In total, assets previously reported as held for sale, primarily receivables, decreased by €72 million and liabilities previously reported as held for sale, primarily operating liabilities and provisions, decreased by €59 million.

Deconsolidation results are generally allocated to other operating income.

Income/Loss from companies in which equity investments are held 25 53 9 66
Impairment charges/reversals on other financial assets -10

Interest and similar expenses -333 -410 -772 -715
Net interest income/loss 456 -200 471 -361
Financial results 481 -147 470 -295

The financial result improved significantly compared with the previous year. This is mainly due to positive effects in net interest income. The increase in net interest income within "Income from securities, interest and similar income" is mainly the result of positive valuation effects of other provision resulting from higher discount rates. The decline in "Interest and similar expenses" is due to negative valuation effects of securities recognized at fair value. This negative effect was partly offset by lower interest expense from debt financing. For details of partial effects on non-operating earnings, please refer to page 13 of the Interim Group Management Report.

1The associates and joint ventures presented as equity investments are associated companies and joint ventures accounted for at cost on materiality grounds.

The net income from companies accounted for under the equity method of €15 million includes impairments of €248 million. These impairments relate to the first-time application of IAS 29 (prior year: €0 million impairments).

In April 2022, Turkey was classified as a hyperinflationary economy. Consequently, in the second quarter of 2022, the financial statements prepared on the basis of historical cost were adjusted in accordance with IAS 29 for the first time for two Turkish investees included in the Group using the equity method (joint ventures).

The transition effect as of January 1, 2022, amounted to €612 million (in foreign currency OCI), partially offset by a writedown in accumulated retained earnings (-€381 million). The adjustment under IAS 29 is made on the basis of the consumer price index as of June 30, 2022, published by the Turkish Statistical Institute, which amounted to 977.90 index points (December 31, 2021: 686.95).

(9) Treasury Shares

Pursuant to a resolution by the Annual Shareholders Meeting of May 28, 2020, the Management Board is authorized to acquire treasury shares until May 27, 2025. The shares purchased, combined with other treasury shares in the possession of the Company, or attributable to the Company pursuant to Sections 71a et seq. AktG, may at no time exceed 10 percent of the Company's share capital. The Management Board was authorized at the aforementioned Annual Shareholders Meeting to cancel acquired shares without requiring a separate shareholder resolution for the cancellation or its implementation. The total number of outstanding shares as of June 30, 2022, was 2,608,995,172 (December 31, 2021: 2,608,995,172).

As of June 30, 2022, E.ON SE held a total of 32,323,628 treasury shares (December 31, 2021: 32,323,628) having a book value of €1,094 million (equivalent to 1.22 percent or €32,323,628 of the capital stock).

The Company was further authorized by the Annual Shareholders Meeting of May 28, 2020, to buy shares using derivatives (put or call options, or a combination of both). When derivatives in the form of put or call options, or a combination of both, are used to acquire shares, the option transactions must be conducted with a financial institution or a company operating in accordance with Section 53 (1) sentence 1 or Section 53b (1) sentence 1 or (7) of the German Banking Act (KWG) or at market terms on the stock exchange. No shares were acquired in the reporting period using this purchase model.

(10) Dividends

Based on the resolution adopted by the Annual Shareholders Meeting on May 12, 2022, a dividend of €0.49 (2021: €0.47) for each eligible dividend-paying ordinary share was paid in the second quarter of 2022, which corresponds to a total dividend amount of €1,278 million (2021: €1,225 million).

(11) Provisions for Pensions and Similar Obligations

The decrease in provisions for pensions and similar obligations compared with year-end 2021 is due in particular to actuarial gains from an increase in the discount rates used in the E.ON Group. The gains were partially offset by losses from the negative performance of the plan assets.

The following discount rates were applied for the computation of provisions for pensions and similar obligations in Germany and in the United Kingdom:

Discount Rates

Percentages June 30, 2022 Dec. 31, 2021
Germany 3,3 1,1
United Kingdom 3,7 1,9

The net defined benefit liability, which is equal to the difference between the present value of the defined benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets, is determined as shown in the following table:

Corporate Profile Business Report Forecast Report Risks and Chances Report Business Segments

(12) Additional Disclosures on Financial Instruments

Measurement of Financial Instruments

The value of financial instruments is determined on the basis of fair value measurement. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is sensitive to movements in underlying market rates and other relevant variables. The Company assesses and monitors the fair value of derivative instruments on a periodic basis. The fair value to be determined for each derivative financial instrument is the price at which one party can sell to a third party the rights and/or obligations embodied in that derivative. Fair values of derivatives are determined using customary market valuation methods, taking into account the market data available on the measurement date and including a credit risk premium. The counterparty credit risk is recognized in the form of a credit value adjustment.

Derivative financial instruments are covered by market netting agreements. Master netting agreements based on those developed by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA), and supplemented by appropriate schedules, are in place with banks. Commodity transactions are generally governed by master agreements developed by the European Federation of Energy Traders (EFET). The aforementioned netting agreements are taken into account when determining the fair values of the financial instruments. Portfolio-based credit risks are also used in the calculations. The fair values of individual assets are determined using published exchange or market prices at the time of acquisition in the case of marketable securities, fixed-term deposits and equity investments, and are adjusted to current market prices as of the reporting dates. If exchange or market prices are unavailable for consideration, fair values are determined using the most reliable information available that is based on market prices for comparable assets or on suitable valuation techniques. In such cases, E.ON determines fair value

using the discounted cash flow method by discounting estimated future cash flows by a weighted-average cost of capital. Estimated cash flows are consistent with the internal mid-term planning data for the next three years, followed by two additional years of cash flow projections, which are extrapolated until the end of an asset's useful life using a growth rate based on industry and internal projections. The discount rate reflects the specific risks inherent in the activities.

1Derivatives are included in the balance sheet item Trade receivables and other operating assets or Trade payables and other operating liabilities.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and of trade receivables are considered generally reasonable estimates of fair value because of their short maturity.

Similarly, the carrying amounts of borrowings under revolving shortterm credit facilities and trade payables are used as the fair value due to the short maturities of these items.

As of June 30, 2022, financial liabilities include bonds with a fair value of €28,668 million (December 31, 2021: €31,038 million). The carrying amount of the bonds as of June 30, 2022, was €30,896 million (December 31, 2021: €28,323 million). The fair value of the remaining financial instruments largely corresponds to the carrying amount. At the end of each reporting period, E.ON assesses whether there might be grounds for reclassification between hierarchy levels. In the first six months of 2022, securities with a fair value of €291 million were reclassified from hierarchy level 1 to hierarchy level 2 and securities with a fair value of €3 million were reclassified from hierarchy level 2 to hierarchy level 1 due to a change in the assessment of market liquidity.

The fair values determined using valuation techniques for financial instruments carried at fair value are reconciled as shown in the following table:

The inputs of hierarchy level 3 for equity investments are determined taking into account economic developments and available industry and company data. A hypothetical 10-percent increase or decrease in the significant internal valuation parameters as of the balance sheet date would lead to a theoretical increase in fair values of €28 million or a decrease of €27 million.

Certain long-term energy contracts are measured using valuation models based on internal fundamental data if market prices are not available. A hypothetical change of ±10 percent in the internal valuation parameters as of the balance sheet date would result in a theoretical increase or decrease in fair values of ±€6 million.

Credit Risk

In principle, credit risks are managed by taking into account the creditworthiness of individual business partners. These risks remain associated with a very low probability of occurrence in the case of major suppliers because of their solid credit ratings and relevance to the system. To the extent possible, pledges of collateral are negotiated with counterparties for the purpose of reducing credit risk. Accepted as collateral are guarantees issued by the respective parent companies, letters of comfort or evidence of profit and loss transfer agreements (with a letter of awareness). To a lesser extent, the Company also requires bank guarantees and deposits of cash and securities as collateral to reduce credit risk. Derivative transactions are generally executed on the basis of standard agreements that allow for the netting of all open transactions with individual counterparties. To further reduce credit risk, bilateral margining agreements are entered into with selected counterparties. Limits are imposed on the credit and liquidity risk resulting from bilateral margining agreements. Exchangetraded forward and option contracts, as well as exchange-traded emissions-related derivatives, bear no credit risk. For the remaining financial instruments, the maximum risk of default is equal to their carrying amounts.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA, a measure of earnings before interest, taxes and amortization ("EBITDA") adjusted to exclude non-operating effects, is the most important key figure used at E.ON for purposes of internal management control and as an indicator of our business's sustainable earnings power.

The E.ON Management Board is convinced that adjusted EBITDA is the most suitable key figure for assessing operating performance because it presents our business's operating earnings independently of non-operating factors, interest, taxes and amortization.

Unadjusted EBITDA represents the Group's income/loss reported in accordance with IFRS before financial results and income taxes, taking into account the net income/expense from equity investments. To improve its meaningfulness as an indicator of the sustainable earnings power of the E.ON Group's business, unadjusted EBITDA is adjusted for certain non-operating effects.

Operating earnings also include income from investment subsidies for which liabilities are recognized.

The non-operating earnings effects for which EBITDA is adjusted include, in particular, income and expenses from the marking to market of unrealized commodity derivatives and related provisions for contingent losses and, where material, book gains/losses, certain restructuring expenses, impairment charges and reversals recognized in the context of impairment tests on non-current assets, on equity investments in affiliated or associated companies and on goodwill, and other contributions to non-operating earnings. IAS 29 is being applied for the first time because of the hyperinflation in Turkey and the effects recognized in income are also presented in other non-operating earnings.

Reconciliation of Income before Financial Results and Income Taxes

In addition, effects from the valuation of certain provisions on the balance sheet date are disclosed in non-operating earnings. In addition, effects that are to be initially recognized from the subsequent measurement of hidden reserves and charges in connection with the innogy purchase price allocation are included.

Review Report

To E.ON SE, Essen

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements – comprising the balance sheet, income statement, statement of recognized income and expenses, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and selected explanatory notes – together with the interim group management report of the E.ON SE for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2022 that are part of the half-year financial report according to § 115 WpHG ["Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": "German Securities Trading Act"]. The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports, is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.

We performed our review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW) and additionally observed the International Standard on Review Engagements "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" (ISRE 2410). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.

Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports
