Coal-fired power plants in the European Union are under a lot of pressure. Many countries have already made a commitment to shut them down. In Czechia, they will be decommissioned around 2050 mainly because we will run out of coal. Our coal-fired power plants are linked up with mines, which gives them stability and security of supply in face of future uncertainty and makes them able to remain profitable the longest among competitors. As for power plants located outside mining regions, we will continue phasing them out according to environmental limits.

We are not planning to make any considerable investments in our conventional generation portfolio. Our nuclear power plants, as zero-emission generating facilities, are certain to remain profitable in the future. Besides ensuring their long-term operation, we will focus on the preparation of a new facility, for the construction and development of which we will provide personnel, among other things.

As regards renewables, Czechia currently exceeds the 13% target for using renewable energy in the electricity, heating, and transportation sectors. However, the National Energy and Climate Plan sets a new target of 21% for 2030. Naturally, we want to be a leader in this field. We know our way around renewables and we know how. We now want to transfer our experience to Czechia more intensely to allow domestic consumers take advantage of it. The new energy sector means great opportunities for our

country. We will seek new opportunities in the energy services market to remain number one. This will not be possible without technological innovation, new products, and new services.

Distribution is going to undergo a big change—digitization. We will digitize many standard routine activities. This will allow us to handle more customer requests, increase the number of projects built, or install and operate new technologies and other innovations. By digitizing, we will also get data from the network faster and reduce its error rate. This change will allow us to control most network elements remotely.

We are also planning big investments in the expansion of optical networks directly on power lines because the future will bring huge amounts of data. A number of small-scale producers as well as consumers connect to the network, consumers will also become producers, and all of this will have an impact on busy online communications. We will offer our new, robust optical networks to mobile phone operators planning to switch to 5G. Besides distribution, digitization will also considerably influence the sales of our products. Our ČEZ Prodej has long been more than just an electricity and gas supplier. Our customers perceive us as a fair provider of thermal comfort, electric mobility, household solutions, and other services. And we want to be even stronger in this. We will also focus on our service. Our goal is to maintain and expand a satisfied customer base.

Like distribution, ČEZ Prodej is also going to undergo a huge change—the digitization of our activities. Customers want to do everything online and preferably in a single step. That is why we are now going to concentrate on making customers' contact with us simpler and on streamlining our internal operations.

Czechia, as well as Europe, is moving toward digitization, automation, Industry 4.0, and smart buildings and homes. Municipalities, businesses, and homeowners want to reduce consumption, optimize it throughout the day, take advantage of decentral generation. At the same time, the entire European Union is preparing for very strict targets for energy efficiency and savings. Therefore, businesses and municipalities will invest billions of euros in ESCO solutions. This is a huge opportunity for the whole European ESCO sector, which is forecast to be growing at double-digit rates. ČEZ has already built a strong position in Slovakia, Germany, and Poland, and we want to further reinforce this position.

Inexhaustible Energy around Us

Decentral Energy Growth

The energy sector is on the threshold of a period of generational renewal. In the future, large power plants will be complemented by a number of small, decentral generating facilities that will sprout up at points of consumption. The reason behind this is not only EU legislation but also technological advancement and requests made by customers themselves, who want environmentally friendly and economical solutions tailored to their specific needs. Our subsidiary ČEZ ESCO is a major player in the field of new energy and such solutions in the Czech and Central European markets.

Introduction by the Chairman of the Board of Directors of ČEZ, a. s.

Dear shareholders,

Although 2019 was full of events, I will start from the end of the year. A step taken last December will radically change not only the energy sector but almost all economic sectors, especially industry, transportation, the building industry, agriculture, and financial services. European Union countries approved a program called the European Green Deal, making a commitment to turn Europe into a carbon-neutral continent by 2050.

This did not come as a surprise, as emission reduction has been part of the pan-European discourse for a rather long time, and CEZ Group already announced its goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 several years ago. However, what is surprising is the scope of the ambitions. The European Green Deal is so comprehensive and ambitious that it is no exaggeration to say it is a turning point for Europe's energy sector as well as economy.

CEZ Group has already been responding to this trend for several years: we have drawn up a preliminary decarbonization plan for our generation portfolio based on a phaseout of coal-fired facilities and we help reduce both energy consumption and emissions through our ESCO products and services. We modernize our power plants for higher efficiency and lower environmental impacts, we invest in research into zero-emission technologies in both generation and transportation, we also support innovative clean-tech and new energy startups, and we are a leader in Czech e-mobility.

That is why we do not see the new program as a threat but as an opportunity to make use of our expertise and experience and fulfill our updated corporate business policy and strategy, which reflect the reinforcing trends in the European energy sector and were confirmed at the annual shareholders' meeting in June 2019.

We have defined four strategic priorities, which will help us remain a strong energy-sector player in Europe: operating our existing portfolio efficiently, modernizing distribution networks, offering comprehensive services to customers, and developing new energy and energy services especially in Czechia and its neighboring countries.

Talking of our energy future, we should also mention Czechia's goals for the construction of new nuclear units. Naturally, ČEZ is the Czech government's key partner in this respect and works closely with the Standing Committee on the Construction of New Nuclear Power Plants. An important milestone in the whole process was reached in August: the Ministry of the Environment issued a favorable EIA opinion for new units at the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant. Intense negotiations about a framework agreement between ČEZ and the Czech state were taking place at the same time and we continued to prepare documentation for a siting permit application and for land use proceedings.

Concurrently, we began analyzing whether small nuclear reactors could also find use in Czechia and started cooperation with companies developing such reactors worldwide.

I am pleased with the steady growth in the amount of orders and sales and CEZ Group's development in energy services. During the five years of its existence, ČEZ ESCO has earned a reputation as a reliable contractor and partner that brings its customers comprehensive, custom-tailored solutions. As a result, some big names in industry as well as government and public administration have chosen to collaborate with us. For example, the City of Prague chose us as its partner for energy-saving measures under several selected building modernization projects, such as the Municipal House, Prague-Holešovice Exhibition Ground, Oliva Children Sanatorium in Říčany near Prague, or Aquacentrum Šutka.

Furthermore, our ESCOs abroad are also successful, especially in Germany, Slovakia, Poland, and Romania. Our revenue from these services in Czechia and abroad amounted to CZK 21.8 billion in 2019.

We continue with digitization projects in all areas, most importantly in distribution and sales.

At the end of the year, CEZ Group validated its reputation as one of the best-rated companies in the region in terms of credibility and financial health. ČEZ will pay a coupon of just 0.875% on issued bonds with a nominal value of EUR 750 million. The seven-year bond will mature in 2026. The issue attracted much interest despite the low yield; prospective investors were willing to buy more than triple the amount of ČEZ bonds before the final price was announced. This was the lowest interest in euros achieved in 2019 by issuers from Central and Southeast Europe for any maturity and the lowest interest in euros achieved by any corporate issuer in Central and Southeast Europe for maturity of 5 or more years.

In a year-on-year comparison, CEZ Group considerably increased its profits in 2019 (by more than 21%), primarily due to increased realization prices of generated electricity, higher generation at nuclear power plants, and an exceptionally successful year in commodity trading. Our nuclear power plants generated over 30 TWh of electricity—hundreds of millions of kilowatt-hours more year-on-year. We achieve growth in profit thanks to our well-balanced generation portfolio (with an almost 55% share of zero-emission generation) in spite of high prices of emission allowances. We expended on maintenance, modernization, and asset safety enhancement in 2019 and made financial investments, primarily in ESCO abroad.

In line with our hedging strategy, we continue with medium-term electricity futures contracts and the fixation of emission allowance costs for future years. Assuming that generation will be stable, especially at nuclear power plants, we can expect further growth in profit in 2020.

Dear shareholders, I hope that CEZ Group will build on the successful year of 2019 in 2020 and we will manage to contribute to the maximum growth in the Company's value.

Daniel Beneš Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of ČEZ, a. s.

Credit Rating

ČEZ's long-term credit ratings remained unchanged in 2019 except for the Moody's outlook.

Standard & Poor's Global Ratings Europe Limited updated its report on ČEZ with a long-term credit rating of A– with a stable outlook on September 27, 2019.

Moody's updated its Credit Opinion on the Company with a long-term credit rating of Baa1 with a stable outlook on January 15, 2020. It reaffirmed ČEZ's long-term credit rating at Baa1 on October 7, 2019, changing its positive outlook to a stable outlook. ČEZ's long-term credit rating was reaffirmed as a follow-up to an upgrade of Czechia's credit rating from A1 to Aa3 on October 4, 2019. Despite the upgraded credit rating for Czechia, ČEZ's credit rating outlook was cut back to stable due to Moody's concerns over the course of preparations for a new nuclear power plant in Czechia, ČEZ's role in the project, and the achievement of an adequate level of support for the project. Both credit rating agencies are included in the list of credit rating agencies pursuant to Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council, as amended by Regulation (EU) No. 513/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EU) No. 462/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council. When selecting credit rating agencies, ČEZ complies with Article 8d of the above-mentioned Regulation.

Payment of Dividends to Shareholders

The Company's annual shareholders' meeting, which started on June 26, 2019, decided on June 27, 2019, to pay a dividend of CZK 24 per share before tax to Company shareholders. The approved dividend amount is in line with the Board of Directors' proposal at the upper limit of the payout ratio under the current dividend policy. The share of profit to be distributed among shareholders is CZK 12,911,754,216, of which CZK 12,850,164,456 is to be paid out, representing 98.4% of consolidated net income adjusted for extraordinary effects, or 122.4% of consolidated net income.

Entities that were shareholders of ČEZ at the record date, that is, July 2, 2019, are entitled to the dividend. The dividend on treasury shares held by the Company at the record date was not paid out and was transferred to the retained earnings account. The dividend for 2018 became payable on August 1, 2019, and can be claimed until July 31, 2023.

Dividend Policy

Starting from 2015, ČEZ, a. s., applied a dividend policy that anticipated paying out 60%–80% of consolidated net income adjusted for extraordinary effects generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given year. The payout ratio was temporarily increased in 2017 to 60%–100% until the Company's development strategy is refined and, following an update to CEZ Group's business strategy and policy, the payout ratio was set in 2019 as 80%–100% of CEZ Group's consolidated net income adjusted for extraordinary effects.

ČEZ, a. s., Shareholder and Investor Relations

ČEZ has long been building relations with shareholders and other capital market participants by means of open and regular communication. It publishes quarterly communications on its financial performance and fulfillment of CEZ Group's strategic goals on dates that are announced in advance. It also informs of material facts that might affect the share price on an ad hoc basis. In accordance with good practice, it also maintains an active dialog with capital market participants through personal meetings with analysts and representatives of institutional investors both at the corporate headquarters and in major financial centers and during conferences.

Rights and Obligations Attached to Shares

The rights and obligations attached to ČEZ, a. s., shares are governed by applicable law as set down in Section 210 et seq. of Act No. 89/2012 Sb., Civil Code, as amended, and Section 243 et seq. of Act No. 90/2012 Sb., Business Corporations Act, as amended. No special rights are attached to ČEZ, a. s., shares. Pursuant to Section 256(1) of the Business Corporations Act, shareholder rights attached to a share of stock are to participate, in compliance with the Act and the Company's bylaws, in company management and receive a portion of its profits and its liquidation surplus when wound up with liquidation. The right to participate in company management is exercised by shareholders by means of their right to attend and vote at a shareholders' meeting.

Pursuant to Section 357(1) of the Business Corporations Act, a shareholder is entitled to request and receive an explanation of matters related to the Company or entities controlled by the Company at a shareholders' meeting if such an explanation is needed for reviewing the contents of matters on the shareholders' meeting agenda or for exercising the shareholder's rights at the shareholders' meeting. This does not apply if no answer needs be given under the law. Explanations may be provided as a summary response to multiple questions with similar contents. Explanations of matters related to the ongoing shareholders' meeting are provided by the Company to a shareholder right at the shareholders' meeting. If that is not possible due to the complexity of the explanation, the Company will provide the explanation to the shareholder within 15 days of the date on which the shareholders' meeting is held.

Qualified shareholders, as defined in Section 365(3) of the Business Corporations Act, are vested with some additional rights under the Act. For example, they may ask the Board of Directors to call a shareholders' meeting to debate matters proposed by them or to put an item specified by them on the shareholders' meeting agenda provided that statutory requirements are met and they may ask the Supervisory Board to review the exercise of the Board of Directors' powers concerning matters identified by them. A shareholder's share in the Company's profit (dividend) is received on the basis of a shareholders' meeting decision on the distribution of profit. This means that a shareholder is entitled to a share of profit (dividend) in an amount approved to be distributed among shareholders by the shareholders' meeting.

Electricity

Wholesale Price of Electricity in 2019 (2020 Year Band)

Germany

Wholesale prices of electricity in Czechia derive from prices in Germany due to the close interconnection of these two markets. Electricity prices are influenced by the following factors in particular:

  • Commodity prices determining variable electricity generation costs, which means particularly the prices of coal, natural gas, and emission allowances
  • Macroeconomic developments, which affect the level of demand for electricity
  • Changes in the volume and structure of generation capacities in Europe, especially renewables

Electricity prices in Germany did not have any clear trend in the first three quarters of 2019, fluctuating over a range of 45–53 EUR/MWh. This development reflected stabilization in the prices of CO2 emission allowances, which stabilized in 2019 after a sharp rise in 2018. In the fourth quarter, electricity prices declined gradually to about 40 EUR/MWh, mimicking the decline in gas and hard coal prices. The baseload price with delivery in 2020 closed at 40 EUR/MWh, which was a year-on-year decrease of 22%.

Coal and Natural Gas

Natural gas and coal declined in price over the course of the year, trading for more than 30% less year-on-year at the end of the year. The price of hard coal kept between 65 and 70 USD/t from May to early November 2019 on. Crucial factors for the global market in hard coal are events around Pacific, especially in China as the world's largest producer and importer. Its strong domestic output and an increase in production in Australia and Indonesia oversaturated the Asian market so coal prices were keeping relatively low. Another factor was the globally low prices of natural gas. Coal prices were negatively affected by import restrictions imposed by China as well as decreasing demand for coal in Europe, which probably resulted from its replacement with gas in electricity generation. Natural gas prices were negatively affected by a mild winter, which resulted in many-year highs in the amount of natural gas in storage. There is also pressure on prices exerted by continually growing capacities of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) terminals. The decrease in natural gas prices was also facilitated by an agreement between Russia and Ukraine on natural gas transit in the next five years, achieved in the last days of December 2019. Together with the commissioning of the Trans-Anatolian Gas Pipeline, TurkStream, and Nord Stream 2, Europe will be well supplied with gas in the next years. In the medium and long term, the price of natural gas will be determined primarily by global LNG trade balance. The world's largest suppliers are Qatar, Australia, the United States of America, and Russia. A significant share of global supply is also provided by less conspicuous but important players such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Trinidad and Tobago, and many others.

Emission Allowances

The prices of emission allowances ranged between 19 and 30 EUR/t over the course of 2019. Market expectations of emission allowance prices were affected by the new European Commission's ambitious plans concerning the necessity of raising climate protection targets, the European Green Deal. The emission allowance price closed at 25 EUR/t at the end of the year, with virtually no change year-on-year, despite a considerable decrease in natural gas prices.

External Conditions in the Energy Sector

European Union

Sustainable Finance Package

The first two pieces of legislation included in the sustainable finance package were passed in the spring of 2019 and published in the Official Journal in November: Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of November 27, 2019, on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector and Regulation (EU) 2019/2089 of the European Parliament and of the Council of November 27, 2019, amending Regulation (EU) 2016/1011 as regards EU Climate Transition Benchmarks, EU Paris-Aligned Benchmarks, and sustainability-related disclosures for benchmarks. The European Parliament passed a resolution on a proposal for a regulation on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment in the spring of 2019. This third and last regulation in the sustainable finance package will create a uniform classification system (taxonomy) aiming to harmonize criteria for the purposes of determining whether an economic activity may be considered sustainable under existing market practices. The Directorate-General for Financial Stability and Capital Markets invited investors to take account of the taxonomy even though the procedure has not finished yet. The Council adopted a joint position in the fall of 2018 and subsequently a trialogue concerning the taxonomy started in the second half of 2019. While an agreement was reached in late November, following the sixth trialogue, the Council rejected the agreement at a COREPER meeting in early December because its terms and conditions would in fact make it impossible to include nuclear energy in the list of sustainable activities.

Consumer Law Modernization Package

The European Commission published proposals for two directives enhancing EU consumers' position under this package in 2018. Agreement on the first directive, which includes amendments to four existing consumer directives (93/13/EEC, 98/6/EC, 2005/29/EC, and 2011/83/EU), was reached during trialogues among the European Commission, the EU Council, and the European Parliament as early as in March 2019. This amending legislative act deals primarily with the enhancement of consumer rights in a digital environment.

However, there is greater significance for the energy sector in a proposal for a directive on representative actions for the protection of the collective interests of consumers, which establishes a minimum harmonized framework for rules for the enforcement of consumers' collective interests in the EU. A plenary position of the European Parliament supporting the proposal for this legislative act was also issued in March. As a follow-up, the Council adopted a general approach to the draft directive in November 2019. Trilateral negotiations among the Commission, the Council, and the Parliament will be held in 2020.

European Union Legislation

    1. Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/331 of December 19, 2018, determining transitional Union-wide rules for harmonized free allocation of emission allowances pursuant to Article 10a of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council applies to the free allocation of emission allowances for stationary installations pursuant to the EU-ETS Directive starting from 2021, with the exception of transitional free allocation of emission allowances for the modernization of electricity generation pursuant to Article 10c of the Directive.
    1. Directive (EU) 2019/692 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 17, 2019, amending Directive 2009/73/EC concerning common rules for the internal market in natural gas introduces a new definition of "interconnector," namely a transmission line that crosses a border between member states or between a member state and a third country up to the limit of the Union's jurisdiction.
    1. Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/807 of March 13, 2019, supplementing Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the determination of high indirect land-use change-risk feedstock for which a significant expansion of the production area into land with high carbon stock is observed and the certification of low indirect land-use change-risk biofuels, bioliquids, and biomass fuels. This first implementing act for the new RES Directive sets down a list of individual resources (in particular, agricultural production used for the production of biofuels and biomass) by their impact on carbon emissions associated with high-intensity land use.
    1. Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/856 of February 26, 2019, supplementing Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to the operation of the Innovation Fund sets rules for Article 10a of the EU-ETS Directive in relation to the operational objective of the Innovation Fund, forms of support provided under the Innovation Fund, the application procedure for Innovation Fund support, criteria for project selection, disbursement of Innovation Fund support, and the governance of the Innovation Fund.
    1. Regulation (EU) 2019/941 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 5, 2019, on risk-preparedness in the electricity sector and repealing Directive 2005/89/EC. The principal objective of the regulation is to set rules for cooperation between member states for the purposes of preventing and managing electricity crises. To this end, it includes fundamental rules for the preparation of ENTSO-E methodologies for risk assessment, national risk-preparedness plans, and national crisis scenarios, as well as conditions for the activation of the early warning mechanism in case of electricity crisis.
    1. Regulation (EU) 2019/942 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 5, 2019, establishing a European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators enhances the role of the European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER) as regards its right to give recommendations and decisions, especially to new entities (the European Entity for Distribution System Operators, regional coordination centers). The new regulation also clarifies ACER's status in relation to national regulatory authorities and its role as regards generation adequacy and risk preparedness.
    1. Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 5, 2019, on the internal market for electricity represents one of four fundamental acts for electricity market regulation. It includes principal rules for the functioning of the wholesale market, rules for the purchases of ancillary services, cross-border capacity allocation, and facility connection, as well as general rules for network tariffs and network codes, including options for the application of capacity mechanisms. It also lays down conditions for the activities of Regional Coordination Centers and the European Entity for Distribution System Operators.
    1. Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 5, 2019, on common rules for the internal market for electricity and amending Directive 2012/27/EU is the second most important legislative act with new rules for the electricity market. In addition to introducing new terms such as citizen energy communities or aggregators and setting down rights and obligations for such new market participants, it includes, most importantly, detailed rules for price regulation in the retail market, customers' fundamental rights, and conditions for switching electricity suppliers, invoicing, and smart metering, including electricity storage.
    1. Directive (EU) 2019/1161 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 20, 2019, amending Directive 2009/33/EC on the promotion of clean and energy-efficient road transport vehicles. The directive aims to introduce an obligation for contracting authorities and entities to take into account lifetime energy and environmental impacts, including energy consumption and emissions of CO2 and of certain pollutants (fine particles, nitrogen oxides, and nonmethane hydrocarbons), when procuring certain road transport vehicles with the objectives of promoting and stimulating the market for clean and energy-efficient vehicles and improving the contribution of the transport sector to the environment, climate and energy policies of the Union. The directive newly defines a "clean vehicle" and sets percentages of such vehicles to be procured by contracting authorities and entities in public procurement procedures for road vehicles.
    1. Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/1868 of August 28, 2019, amending Regulation (EU) No. 1031/2010 to align the auctioning of allowances with the EU-ETS rules for the period of 2021 to 2030 and with the classification of allowances as financial instruments pursuant to Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council contains detailed rules for allowance auctions using auction platforms or other forms of auctioning, including requirements for auctioning allowances for the Innovation Fund and the Modernization Fund and notification obligations applying to such transactions.
    1. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1842 of October 31, 2019, laying down rules for the application of Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards further arrangements for the adjustments to free allocation of emission allowances due to activity level changes builds on the previous Commission delegated regulation and sets rules for the free allocation of emission allowances to be allocated under Article10a of the EU-ETS Directive in the 4th trading period of 2021 to 2030.

Regulation of Wholesale Markets in Electricity and Natural Gas

The European Union regulates wholesale energy markets. Regulation (EU) No. 1227/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of October 25, 2011, on wholesale energy market integrity and transparency (REMIT) has been in force since December 28, 2011, putting market participants under an obligation to publicly disclose certain inside information on the participant's undertaking in an effective and timely manner, not to use abusive practices in trading, and to register their undertaking in a register of participants and report transactions in a wholesale energy market.

CEZ Group discloses such information on a specialized information portal run by the EEX at: https://www.eex-transparency.com/ power/cz/production/capacity/. The disclosure concerns all CEZ Group facilities in Czechia. Information on CEZ Group facilities abroad is disclosed centrally in Poland at http://gpi.tge.pl/ en/zestawienie-ubytkow and on our subsidiary's website at https://www.cez.ro/en in Romania. In compliance with REMIT, CEZ Group has also been notifying of bilateral transactions entered into outside organized markets since April 2016 (n.b.: transactions conducted in organized markets are disclosed directly by those markets).

Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No. 648/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on OTC derivatives, central counterparties, and trade repositories (EMIR), which aims to mitigate risks arising from trading in OTC derivatives, ČEZ calculates its open derivative OTC position. It has also been reporting all commodity, interest rate, and currency derivative transactions with financial settlement to a trade repository since February 2014. ČEZ chose REGIS-TR for discharging these obligations.

ČEZ has also established rules and introduced measures to prevent market abuse pursuant to Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on market abuse (MAR) and Directive 2014/57/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on criminal sanctions for market abuse. MAR is an equivalent of REMIT aimed to prevent abuse of the market in financial instruments, which include some commodity derivatives linked to electricity, gas, coal, and emission allowances. Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments (MiFID II) entered into effect in January 2018 and was transposed to Czech law in Act No. 256/2004 Sb., on capital market undertakings (CMUA). ČEZ, a. s., informed the Czech National Bank in December 2017, pursuant to CMUA, that it would take advantage of exemption from authorization for the provision of main investment services under Section 4b(1)(j) as a person, including market makers, dealing on its own account in commodity derivatives or emission allowances or derivatives thereof.

Czechia

Legislation in Czechia

The Ministry of Industry and Trade prepared the "Principal Points of a New Energy Act" and submitted them to the government for consideration and information in 2019. Subsequently, the Ministry of Industry and Trade began working on a "legislative brief for a new energy act" in the fall of 2019 with the aim of submitting the brief to the government for consideration and approval approximately in mid-2020. The Energy Act has been amended more than 20 times since it was passed, primarily due to obligatory implementation of EU legislation governing the energy sector's operation in Czech law. The relatively large number and extent of amendments have reduced the clarity of the Energy Act and some of its provisions are ambiguous, causing interpretation difficulties.

The objectives of the new Energy Act include:

  • Preparing a legal and regulatory framework for a new energy market model with emphasis on meeting binding decarbonization targets
  • Defining unambiguously the rights and obligations of entities entering the market in electricity and gas and regulating their mutual interactions
  • Simplifying, systematically interconnecting, and clearly defining activities and other institutions to be governed and regulated by the new law
  • Resolving certain problematic situations (such as unauthorized consumption) as well as ensuring that the new Energy Act will be comprehensible and systematic
  • Addressing overlaps with legal regulation set down in Act No. 165/2012 Sb., on supported energy sources and on amendment to some acts, and in Act. No. 406/2000 Sb., on energy management, as amended
  • Transposing Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council on common rules for the internal market for electricity and amending Directive 2012/27/EU (that is, the Energy Efficiency Directive)
  • Transposing selected provisions of Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources, which are appropriate to be included in the new Energy Act for reasons of systematicality and overall clarity
  • Transposing Directive (EU) 2018/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency

The new Energy Act will apply to activities pursued by natural and legal persons and sole traders in the energy sector rather than just business activities as the current Act does. Therefore, there will be no difference in whether or not a certain activity requires a license (or another authorization).

Work that will result in amendments to a number of other legal regulations having an impact on the energy sector started in 2019. However, these amendments can be expected to be passed over the course of 2020.

Only a very limited number of major legal regulations concerning the energy sector and telecommunications were amended in 2019; essentially, there was just one act amended:

Act No. 127/2005 Sb., on electronic communications and on amendment to certain related acts (Electronic Communications Act); the amendment was made by Act No. 311/2019 Sb., effective mostly from April 1, 2020 (some provisions from as late as May 15, 2024); the amending act sets down more detailed rules for the transfer of phone service contracts when switching providers; it also sets down deadlines for such switches and the termination of contracts (2 business days); it obligates the Czech Telecommunication Office to create a free-of-charge, independent, online comparison tool within 9 months of the effect of the amended act to allow comparing and reviewing various publicly available electronic communications services in terms of price and quality.

A Brief Forecast of the Development of the Electricity Sector from CEZ Group's Perspective

Electricity prices relevant to price development in Czechia derive from the prices of energy commodities, especially hard coal and gas and also the price of CO2 emission allowances. The long-term development of the electricity sector is fundamentally affected by political decisions. These include, most importantly, the European Union's climate and energy targets. The share of renewable energy should be 32% of all consumed energy (heat, transportation, electricity) by 2030. Accompanying studies indicate that the share of RES in the EU electricity sector will be 55% in 2030. Member states describe their intended contributions in national integrated energy and climate plans. Czechia made a commitment to use 22% of renewable energy by 2030: 30.7% for heating, 14% for transportation, and 16.9% for electricity. The other V4 countries will strive to achieve a RES share similar to Czechia's but their RES electricity contribution will be greater than the Czech one.

The new European Commission set reducing CO2 emissions as its primary goal. The overarching programming document is called the European Green Deal. It contains a schedule for the publication of individual steps in various subareas. These will include, among other things, raising the 2030 decarbonization target from the current 40% to at least 50% and raising targets for growth in renewable resources and energy efficiency targets. In December 2019, the prime ministers and presidents of EU member states reached an agreement that the EU should achieve climate neutrality by 2050 (with the exception of Poland, which should become climate-neutral later). The goal is to eliminate CO2 emissions from the entire economy, from the energy industry to transportation, industry, and construction to the food industry and agriculture. Zero-emission electricity will play a key role in the decarbonization of many branches of industry, replacing fossil resources.

Political decisions taken by individual European countries are also significant to energy markets. Germany is planning to shut down its last nuclear power plants in 2022 and its last coal-fired power plants in 2038; Germany will be the last country with coal-fired units in Western Europe. France has announced that it will strive to gradually reduce the share of nuclear generation and increase the share of renewable generation. The Netherlands is planning to introduce a minimum price of CO2 in the energy sector. The future of the energy sector is also significantly affected by technology advancement. Renewable electricity generation is much cheaper these days than in the past. For example, the purchase price of electricity generated by new photovoltaic power plants of 1–10 MW in Germany is around 50 EUR/MWh in auctions. It used to be 8 times higher. Costs have been decreasing rapidly and parameters have been improving for other types of renewable energy sources, too: onshore wind farms in Germany regularly achieve prices of around 62 EUR/MWh in auctions. Offshore wind farms in the United Kingdom got a contract-for-difference at a level of 49 EUR/MWh. The growing share of wind farms and photovoltaic power plants will also result in greater price volatility—if winds blow and the sun shines, electricity prices will more and more often be around zero or even negative. Conversely, periods without sunshine and wind will see very high electricity prices. This will create a business opportunity for both flexible sources and energy storage. While this effect will be softened repeatedly in Central Europe due to the phaseout of nuclear and coal-fired capacities in Germany, it will always come back over time.

There is also significant advancement in energy storage technologies. Besides short-term electricity storage in batteries, there is an increasing effort to provide an industrial solution for long-term storage using hydrogen, methane, or other chemicals (power-to-gas, power-to-liquid). There are hundreds of projects under preparation or in operation throughout the EU. It is generally expected that these technologies will undergo development similar to that of photovoltaic power plants and wind turbines in the past twenty years. This will also create new business opportunities for energy companies.

CEZ Group Strategy

Europe's energy sector is undergoing a major transformation. Traditional energy is stagnating but remains an indispensable part of the energy sector. Renewables and decentral energy keep growing. Customers require comprehensive services relating to energy use. The European Union approved new ambitious targets for 2030 in decarbonization, renewables, and energy efficiency and, on the threshold of 2020, carbon neutrality by 2050. Complex changes are also underway in the Czech energy market. Czechia has incorporated the European Commission's targets in its climate and energy plan with a growing share of renewable generation, has been debating an update to its State Energy Policy, has advanced in debates concerning the form of new nuclear power plant preparation and construction, has been working on its National Action Plan for Smart Grids and Electric Mobility, and has been preparing nationwide digitization. CEZ Group's mission and vision remain unchanged. CEZ Group's mission is to provide safe, reliable, and positive energy to its customers and society at large. Its vision is to bring innovations for resolving energy needs and to help improve quality of life.

CEZ Group Strategy Update

The principal determinant strategic factors remain the same, but new, mostly regionally specific challenges occurred and CEZ Group responded to them by updating its business policy and strategy. The annual shareholders' meeting approved the updated business policy of CEZ Group and ČEZ, a. s., on June 27, 2019.

CEZ Group's major challenges in the traditional energy sector include decarbonization, phase out of coal-fired generating facilities, ensuring stable supplies when those facilities are shut down, and continued preparation of projects for new nuclear power plants.

In the new energy sector, CEZ Group anticipates further development of renewables and growth in the energy services market, where it wants to remain a major player innovating both products and services. In distribution and sales, the biggest challenge is gradual digitization and decentralization.

CEZ Group's updated strategy and business policy aims at the following business opportunities:

  • Participation in enhancing Czechia's energy security
  • Modernization of the Czech energy sector and growth in decentral energy
  • Fulfillment of Czechia's energy and climate plan meeting the European Union targets
  • Interconnection of Czech industry and trade with neighboring countries

In comparison with the previous strategy from 2014, the current strategy has stronger focus on the Czech market. New development investments will be mostly made in the new energy sector and distribution assets in Czechia and in energy services abroad. Its aim for abroad is long-term growth primarily in comprehensive energy services in markets closer to Czechia, especially in Germany.

CEZ Group's Strategic Priorities

  1. Efficient Operation, Optimum Generation Portfolio Utilization and Development

  2. Efficiently managing nuclear power plants and coal-fired power plants in mining regions, including decarbonization of the generation portfolio and preparation of conditions for the construction of a new nuclear power plant as part of energy security enhancement.

  3. . Enhancing the safety, security, and effectiveness of the operation of nuclear power plants in accordance with international practices and ensuring their long-term operation

  4. . Efficiently managing the portfolio of coal-fired power plants in mining regions, heating plants, and mines
  5. . Efficiently operating and phasing out the portfolio of power plants located outside mining regions
  6. . Continuing the preparation of the project for a new nuclear power plant at Dukovany, including the negotiation of a contractual framework with the Czech state to cover the regulatory and market risks of the project

2. Modern Distribution and Care for Customers' Energy Needs

  1. Modernizing and digitizing distribution and sales in Czechia with respect to customers' energy needs in the context of the development of the Czech energy sector.

  2. In distribution:

  3. . Increasing investments in the distribution network in the context of changes induced by decentral energy and the conditions of the new regulatory period

  4. . Increasing growth investments in smart and innovative solutions focused on smart grids, electric mobility integration, and decentralized energy sources
  5. . Digitizing operations to optimize operating expenses

1. In sales:

  • . Maintaining the current profitability and customer base in commodities
  • . Keep extending the base of satisfied customers through offers of noncommodity products and services enhancing their quality of life
  • . Digitizing the whole sales process to optimize operating expenses

3. New Energy Sector Development in Czechia

  1. Developing energy services and renewables in Czechia and taking advantage of conditions set under Czechia's energy and climate plan.

  2. . Building an efficient structure to cover the entire value chain associated with the development of renewable energy sources in the domestic market

  3. . Achieving a major position in the generation and supply of heat from renewable energy sources
  4. . Consolidating the energy services market

4. Energy Services Development in Europe

  1. Developing energy services abroad with the aim of achieving a major position in European markets close to Czechia.

  2. . Continuing to grow in the energy services market in Germany, northern Italy, and Poland

  3. . Offering customers innovative products that will allow them to cut their expenses on energies, heating and cooling, and lighting and enhance their comfort in other areas

The updated strategy anticipates leaving some markets and segments abroad. The currently applicable divestment strategy assumes completing the sale of assets in Bulgaria, selling generation and distribution assets in Romania, selling generation assets in Poland, and exiting from Turkey.

As concerns the current portfolio of renewables abroad, the goal is to ensure return on funds invested in assets in Germany and France.

CEZ Group Risk Management

A risk management system and a system of internal controls are developed continually at CEZ Group. The two areas are audited on an ongoing basis by Internal Audit, which also makes sure all processes are in compliance with best practices and internal and external regulations and standards. The principal risk management functions, objective, and manner of reporting at CEZ Group are illustrated by the following chart:

The aim of the risk management system is to protect the value of CEZ Group while taking on an acceptable level of risk. Centralized risk management is based on the perception of risk as measurable uncertainty (potential deviation between actual and planned developments), expressed in Czech korunas at a chosen uniform confidence level enabling various types of risk to be compared and priorities to be set accordingly. Centralized risk management relies on tools and models for managing and quantifying risks in one-year and medium-term time frames. Together with CEZ Group's budget, the ČEZ Board of Directors approves the Profit at Risk, an overall risk limit expressing CEZ Group's inclination to risk for a given year. The limit is allocated to individual risks and organizational units on an ongoing basis. Rules, responsibilities, and structure of limits for managing partial risks are discussed by the Risk Committee (an advisory body to the member of the Board of Directors responsible for risk management—Chief Financial Officer), which monitors the overall impact of risks on CEZ Group, including the utilization of CEZ Group's debt capacity. Risks having the form of specific threats and/or events are managed in a decentralized manner, with only the most significant of them being reported centrally, in a unified fashion, within the process of updating the CEZ Group business plan.

The tools and processes used at CEZ Group allow:

  • Measuring the objective susceptibility of internal resources to changes in market and credit risks, applying selected principles used in the banking sector
  • Managing the degree of fixation of future cash flows, thereby minimizing the potential danger to CEZ Group's value
  • Making decisions on acquisitions and investments in the context of real debt capacity
  • Monitoring compliance with requirements stipulated by creditors and credit rating agencies for debt indicators in the medium term, thereby minimizing the risk of downgrading
  • Updating the strategy in accordance with the anticipated financial capacity of CEZ Group

CEZ Group uses a unified system for categorizing risks according to their primary causes:

1. Market Risks

  • Commodity risks to generation margin associated with the operation of power plants (managed through running sales of nuclear electricity or by fixing the gross margin of coal-fired power plants for the next 3–6 years in long-term electricity sales contracts and through operative management of the overall CO2 position)
  • Commodity risks resulting from trading in electricity, emission allowances, natural gas, hard coal, crude oil, and oil products (managed by setting financial limits on deviation from plans, position limits, and rules)
  • Currency and interest rate risks hedged by maintaining well-balanced operating, investing, and financing cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and utilizing standard financial instruments in accordance with risk limits and rules for fixing generation revenues on a running basis within a fiveyear time frame
  • Volume risk to generation at renewable sources abroad

2. Credit Risks

  • Credit risks of CEZ Group's business and financing partners are managed through individual limits; due to the uncertainty of individual markets, conservative rules for entering into business transactions remain in place
  • Credit risks of end-use customers for electricity and gas are managed through payment terms based on customer credibility

3. Operational Risks

The risk of deviations from the plan in the output of nuclear and Czech coal-fired power plants is quantified and reported on a monthly basis and the long-term results are utilized for optimizing the scope of maintenance

4. Business Risks

  • Strategic, regulatory, and legislative business risks are assessed on an ongoing basis and taken into account when updating acquisition and investment strategies in order to reflect changes in CEZ Group's debt and financial capacities
  • CEZ Group also faces risks of new taxes and/or decisions by EU competition and regulatory bodies as well as political risks in all countries it operates in

Insurance

A number of risks in CEZ Group companies are dealt with through an insurance program that is largely arranged by ČEZ.

ČEZ's most important kinds of insurance taken out in Czechia include:

  • Nuclear plant third-party liability insurance pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act; there are separate insurance policies for the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant and the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant; each policy is for the statutory limit of CZK 2 billion; the insurers are Česká pojišťovna, representing the Czech Nuclear Insurance Pool, and European Liability Insurance for the Nuclear Industry
  • Liability insurance for nuclear material transports pursuant to the Atomic Energy Act; the insurance covers transports of nuclear fuel for both nuclear power plants to the statutory limit of CZK 300 million; the insurers are Česká pojišťovna, representing the Czech Nuclear Insurance Pool, and European Liability Insurance for the Nuclear Industry
  • Property insurance for the nuclear power plants, covering damage arising from natural hazards and mechanical risks, including damage arising from a nuclear accident; the insurers are Česká pojišťovna, representing the Czech Nuclear Insurance Pool, and the European Mutual Association for Nuclear Insurance
  • Property insurance for thermal and hydroelectric power plants providing coverage against natural hazards and mechanical risks
  • General liability insurance that covers CEZ Group companies against financial losses that may result from damage inflicted on a third party due to a company's operations and/or defective product

Following on from CEZ Group's insurance program and applicable legislation, CEZ Group companies in Czechia and abroad have taken out insurance usual for their business segments, such as insurance against property and mechanical risks, insurance against interruption of operation, accounts receivable insurance, or erection all-risk insurance for major capital projects. Mandatory contractual insurance and insurance required by an issued license for the performance of an activity are maintained at all times.

Internal Audit and Compliance

ČEZ's internal audit provides the Company's management and governance bodies with assurance that the internal management and control system is functional and all significant risks are managed adequately. As such, it helps achieve CEZ Group's goals and initiates improvement of activities and mitigation of business risk.

ČEZ's internal audit activities are carried out by the Audit and Compliance unit, which has also been covering the field of corporate compliance since February 1, 2019. The unit reports directly to the Company's Board of Directors. The unit's independence and efficiency are overseen by the ČEZ Audit Committee. The head of ČEZ's Audit and Compliance has direct access to and attends meetings of the Board of Directors and participates as a guest in meetings of the ČEZ Plant Safety Committee, Risk Management Committee, and CEZ Group Security Committee. The unit's independence and the compliance of its activities with the Standards of Professional Internal Audit Practice were verified by an external quality assessment in late 2016 and an internal quality assessment in 2019 in compliance with the Standards.

Internal audit plans are prepared on the basis of an assessment of the level of risk involved in individual processes, making use of suggestions made by CEZ Group managers and assessments of specific risks made by the Company's specialized functions (for example, cybersecurity, nuclear safety, compliance) and integrating follow-up audits. A total of 37 audits were conducted in 2019: 15 at ČEZ and 22 at subsidiaries and affiliates (including 7 audits at foreign shareholdings) where audits are conducted by ČEZ's internal audit function under a contract.

There are also separate audit units in Bulgaria, Romania, and Turkey, whose audit activities are coordinated at the audit plan level to prevent overlapping activities.

Audit outputs are reports documenting all objective findings and formulating corrective action where shortcomings are identified. The outputs are discussed with the managements of the audited entities, which subsequently take corrective action. Audit and Compliance regularly reviews the corrective action taken, using follow-up audits where appropriate.

The results of auditing and corrective action taken are reported quarterly in summary form to the ČEZ Board of Directors and Audit Committee. In the event of serious findings or shortcomings the correction of which is beyond the audited entity's purview, resolutions on correction are adopted by the ČEZ Board of Directors.

Systemic measures are taken to ensure a high level of legal and regulatory compliance across CEZ Group and ethics standards are defined in the field of compliance. The key management document in this field is the CEZ Group Code of Ethics. CEZ Group's Ethics Hotline, available on the CEZ Group website, is an effective tool not only for employees but also for business partners and the general public. It is implemented so as to ensure anonymity for the whistleblower. Any information reported through the hotline is subsequently investigated internally and corrective action is taken based on the findings.

This area was enhanced by a Compliance Management System (CMS) Policy launched in 2019. The goal is to develop a unified risk management tool for the risks of noncompliance with legal obligations and internal rules of conduct in order to prevent and efficiently protect CEZ Group against financial loss, possible criminal liability or regulatory sanctions, and injury to CEZ Group's reputation.

The CMS integrates previously introduced elements and tools with additional procedures and processes that help reduce the incidence of risky activities and their impacts on CEZ Group. It builds on international compliance standards as well as on the Supreme Prosecutor's Office guidelines on legal entities' options to avoid criminal liability. The ČEZ Board of Directors receives help with its responsibility for the application of the CMS Policy from a newly established ČEZ Corporate Compliance Committee, an advisory body led by the head of Audit and Compliance. Compliance procedures were amended in 2019 to include systematic checks of contractors and other business partners to detect elevated risk of their unlawful or unethical conduct using appropriate internal preventive action.

Approach to Risks in Relation to Financial Reporting

Pursuant to the Accounting Act, ČEZ keeps its books in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. Other CEZ Group companies, regardless of the accounting standard they use to prepare their individual financial statements, also report all data for CEZ Group's consolidation purposes according to IFRS. Unified accounting policies followed at ČEZ and selected subsidiaries are defined in the CEZ Group Accounting Standards in full compliance with generally applicable accounting standards. The standards are further supplemented with a set of auxiliary guidelines detailing specific areas of the accounting process. Consolidation rules and other general principles applicable to the preparation of CEZ Group consolidated financial statements are specified in the Rules of Consolidation.

As a rule, any accounting document in CEZ Group may only be entered into the books on the basis of approved supporting documents. Approval takes place primarily online, through the approval process in the enterprise information system. The scope of each approver's signatory authority is set forth in the relevant company's internal regulations.

In terms of organization, the accounting function is separated from the process of managing business partners, including the administration of bank accounts and payment of posted liabilities. This rules out any possibility of a single employee entering a business partner in the database, posting an amount payable to that partner, and issuing a payment order. Liabilities are paid only when approved by an employee authorized to carry out the business transaction and an employee authorized to confirm actual performance.

Only users with appropriate privileges have access to the accounting system. Access privileges for the system are granted by means of a software application and are subject to approval by a superior and a system administrator. Access privileges are granted according to each employee's position. Only employees of the relevant accounting department have privileges for active operations in the accounting system. All logins to the accounting system are logged in a database and can be searched retroactively. The accounting system allows identifying the user that created, changed, or reversed any accounting record.

Taking an inventory of assets and liabilities is an integral part of the system of accounting controls. The inventory-taking process verifies whether all predictable risks and potential losses associated with the assets have been reflected in the accounts, whether the assets are properly protected and maintained, and whether records of assets and liabilities are true.

The accuracy of the accounts and financial statements is checked by the accounting unit on an ongoing basis. In addition, it is checked by an independent auditor, who audits individual and consolidated financial statements prepared on the reporting date, that is, December 31 of a given year. Selected accounting areas are also subjected to internal audits to verify whether the procedures used are in compliance with applicable law and the Company's internal regulations.

Where discrepancies are found, corrective action is proposed immediately and taken as soon as possible. The effectiveness of ČEZ's system of internal controls, the process of compiling ČEZ's individual financial statements and CEZ Group's consolidated financial statements, and the process of auditing financial statements are also reviewed by the Audit Committee, which conducts these activities as a Company governance body without prejudice to the responsibilities of members of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board.

A procedure for the award of a public contract for Auditor Services for ČEZ, a. s., and Selected Subsidiaries was started in October 2019 pursuant to Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities (a mandatory rotation rule) and the Auditors Act.

No special rules specifying the election and removal of members of the statutory governing body and amendment to the Company's bylaws are applied.

h) Information on Special Authority of the Company's Statutory Governing Body

The Company's Board of Directors has no special powers.

i) Information on Significant Contracts Relating to Change in Control over the Company as a Result of a Takeover Bid

ČEZ, a. s., has entered into significant contracts that will become effective, change, or expire if control over ČEZ changes as a result of a takeover bid. These are the 7th, 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 21st, 24th, 30th, 33rd, and 34th Eurobond issues; the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Namensschuldverschreibung issues; the 1st and 2nd US bond issues; the ČEZ, a. s., Promissory Note Issue Program and bilateral committed credit lines; loan agreements with the European Investment Bank for EUR 100 million made in 2010, EUR 180 million made in 2011, EUR 100 million made in 2012, EUR 200 million made in 2014, EUR 200 million made in 2010 (originally between the European Investment Bank and a Romanian subsidiary) and assumed by ČEZ, a. s., in 2016; and EUR 330 million made in 2019. In these contracts, the counterparty would be entitled, but not required, to demand early repayment should there be a change in the controlling entity of ČEZ. However, the right to early repayment may be exercised only if either Standard & Poor's or Moody's publicly declares or notifies ČEZ in writing that it has downgraded ČEZ's existing credit rating due to, in full or in part, the change in controlling entity. Downgrading an existing credit rating is defined as any change from investment grade to noninvestment grade, any downgrade of original noninvestment grade, or nondetermination of investment grade if no rating is given at all. The above downgrading would have to take place in the period from the public disclosure of the step that could result in the change in controlling entity to 180 days after the announcement of the change in controlling entity. The counterparty would not be allowed to exercise its right to early repayment if, following the actual change in the controlling entity, the credit rating agency reevaluated its position and restored ČEZ's investment grade or original noninvestment grade rating within the period defined above. The contractual provisions concerning a change in control over ČEZ should be seen in the context of ČEZ, a. s., credit ratings, which in 2019 were A– (with a stable outlook) by Standard & Poor's and Baa1 (with a stable outlook) by Moody's, that is, 4 and 3 grades, respectively, above the credit rating agencies' noninvestment-grade ratings. Said change-of-rating condition does not apply to the loan agreements with the European Investment Bank, worth EUR 1,110 million in total, under which the counterparty's right becomes effective as soon as control over ČEZ, a. s., changes.

j) Information on Contracts Binding the Company in Relation to a Takeover Bid

ČEZ has not entered into any contracts with members of its Board of Directors or its employees in which the Company would undertake to provide performance in case their service or employment is terminated in relation to a takeover bid.

k) Information on Programs That Allow Acquiring the Company's Corporate Securities

ČEZ top managers' compensation included an incentive program that allowed them to acquire Company shares (a "stock option plan") until the end of 2019. Under the stock option plan applicable until December 31, 2019, members of the Board of Directors and selected managers were entitled to options on the Company's common stock under the terms and conditions set forth in their service contracts (for Board of Directors members) and stock option agreements (for selected managers). Under the stock option rules, members of the Board of Directors and selected managers received options on a certain number of Company shares every year as long as they remained in office. According to the rules of the stock option plan, the exercise price per share was determined as the weighted average of prices at which Company shares were traded on the regulated market in Czechia during one month before the annual grant date, and stock option beneficiaries may call on the Company to transfer shares up to the number corresponding to a given option grant, no earlier than two years and no later than by the middle of the fourth year after every option grant. The exercise of options is restricted by the rules of the stock option plan in that the appreciation of the Company's shares may be no more than 100% over the exercise price and the option beneficiary had to keep in their asset account as many shares of Company stock obtained under the call as corresponded to 20% of the profit realized on the call date until the termination of the stock option plan. In 2019, there were 17 individuals among employees and members of the Board of Directors who owned shares of stock obtained through the stock option plan. None of the individuals exercised their right to attend the shareholders' meeting of ČEZ as a Company shareholder. All of the individuals exercised their right to dividend. None of the above-mentioned individuals exercised any other rights associated with their ownership of Company shares. According to information submitted to the Company for the purposes of preparing this report, no beneficiary of the stock option plan transferred any separately transferable right attached to their shares to any third party.

The stock option plan was terminated on December 31, 2019, based on the Supervisory Board's decision approving amendments to service contracts (in relation to members of the Board of Directors) and the Board of Directors' and Supervisory Board's decision to terminate the stock option plan in relation to the selected managers. The right to call the options granted by the end of 2019 remained unchanged, with the following exception: All option grants provided to members of the Board of Directors and/or selected managers in 2019 were reduced proportionately so as to correspond to the number of shares determined according to the number of days remaining between the grant date and the end date of the stock option plan (that is, December 31, 2019). Starting from January 1, 2020, the stock option plan was replaced with a new long-term performance-based bonus system for members of the Board of Directors and a new system of long-term performance-based bonus agreements/multiannual bonus agreements for selected managers. The new long-term performance-based bonus system does not involve any right to acquire the Company's shares (see the section on ČEZ, a. s., governance bodies for more detailed information).

Future of Conventional Facilities

Conventional generating facilities, meaning power plants that use fossil fuels for generation, continue to play an important role in electricity generation in Czechia and other European countries; however, they have to adjust to changes in their environment and commitments made to reduce emissions. In the future, they can thus be expected to switch from full-time operation to ensuring flexibility and stability in the energy networks, which are more and more affected by the operation of renewable energy sources with intermittent generation. This is because renewable generation, unlike that of conventional facilities, depends on the momentary climatic conditions—wind or sunshine.

Supervisory Board Composition and Activities

The Supervisory Board has 12 members. Two-thirds are elected and removed by the shareholders' meeting and one-third are elected and removed by Company employees. The Supervisory Board elects and removes its Chairman and two Vice-Chairmen. The term of office of members of the Supervisory Board is four years and members may be reelected. Unless the number of members of the Supervisory Board dropped by more than half, the Supervisory Board may appoint (co-opt) substitute members to serve until the next shareholders' meeting in place of Supervisory Board members elected by the shareholders' meeting whose membership ended since the last shareholders' meeting. The term of office of a substitute (co-opted) Supervisory Board member is included in the total term of office of the member of the Supervisory Board. The business address of members of the Supervisory Board is the Company's registered office address: Duhová 2/1444, 140 53 Praha 4.

Supervisory Board Decision-Making

The Supervisory Board constitutes a quorum if a majority of all its members (that is, at least 7 members) is present. Voting is by show of hands unless otherwise provided. The Supervisory Board makes decisions by a majority of the votes of all its members unless the Company's bylaws stipulate otherwise. Each member has one vote when making decisions. The Supervisory Board's meetings are governed by its Rules of Procedure, which it adopts and amends by a two-thirds vote of all its members. Supervisory Board meetings are usually held once a month. Members of the Supervisory Board usually attend its meetings in person; a member of the Supervisory Board may also authorize another member on a case-by-case basis to vote on their behalf if absent, or technical means (teleconference, videoconference) may be used in justified cases. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board must always call a Supervisory Board meeting if a Supervisory Board member or the Board of Directors requests so or if shareholders defined in Section 365 of the Business Corporations Act request that the performance of the Board of Directors be reviewed pursuant to Section 370 of the Business Corporations Act. Such a request must be in writing and must include an urgent reason for convening the meeting. A record is made of the course of each Supervisory Board meeting and the resolutions passed. The record lists the names of the members of the Supervisory Board who voted against each decision or abstained from voting; unlisted members are deemed to have voted in favor of the decision. In necessary cases that allow no delay, it is possible to take a vote outside a meeting (by letter) in written form or using technical means. In such a case, a resolution is passed if at least two-thirds of all members took part in the vote and a majority of all members voted in favor of the resolution. The Supervisory Board may invite members of the Company's other bodies, Company employees, and/or other persons to its meetings at its discretion. Supervisory Board meetings are held usually once a month. There were 12 meetings held in 2019: 10 regular meetings and 2 extraordinary meetings.

Board of Directors Committee

A ČEZ, a. s., Corporate Compliance Committee was established as an advisory body to the Board of Directors. Its mission is to contribute to the expertise and efficiency of decision-making at ČEZ, a. s., within its defined purview. The Committee's tasks include assessing current and potential compliance risks, their impact, and the level of their management at ČEZ. The Operations and Development Teams, which operated as advisory bodies to the Board of Directors from 2016, were dissolved as of March 1, 2020, accentuating the roles of CEO deputies.

Board of Directors Member Committees

Each member of the Board of Directors may set up working commissions, teams, and committees in their appointed area. Other members of the Board of Directors involved in the matters in question and relevant Company employees may participate in their work.

Key committees in 2019 included the following:

  • ČEZ, a. s., Plant Safety Committee, which, among other things, deals with matters concerning the safety of ČEZ, a. s., nuclear facilities, especially as regards compliance with integrated requirements for nuclear safety, radiation protection and technical safety, radiation situation monitoring, radiological emergency management, and security; it also debates matters concerning statutory and regulatory changes and their impact on nuclear safety management, the condition of onsite safety of nuclear facilities, safety culture, and allocation of resources to ensure an appropriate level of nuclear safety. The Committee is an advisory body to the Chairman of the Board of Directors (Chief Executive Officer).
  • CEZ Group Security Committee, which, among other things, deals with CEZ Group security policies, strategies, and objectives, selected activities, threats, risks, analyses of security incidents, and proposed security requirements, corrective measures, and priorities or conditions for their implementation. The Committee is an advisory body to the Chairman of the Board of Directors (Chief Executive Officer).

Remuneration of Board of Directors Members

In compliance with applicable law, all service-related stipulations between the Company and members of the Board of Directors are included in service contracts and/or amendments thereto. Remuneration of Board of Directors members is stipulated by the Company's Supervisory Board. In compliance with the Supervisory Board's resolutions, the Company makes service contracts with members of the Board of Directors, which specify all remuneration and perquisites to be provided. Contracts of service on the Board of Directors are approved by the Supervisory Board. The manner and amounts of remuneration are determined on the basis of the methodology and surveys of Korn Ferry International (formerly HayGroup), an international consultancy firm that has long specialized in remuneration consultancy worldwide. The company has used a globally uniform HayGroup analytical method and standardized remuneration surveys since 2008. The HayGroup analytical method assesses positions with respect to responsibility and powers, scope of management in terms of the number of employees and countries as well as the diversity of managed processes and segments, the difficulty of handled issues, required know-how, amount of revenue, amount of investment, as well as the degree of freedom in decisionmaking. A frame of reference for the remuneration of members of the Board of Directors is also the Top Executive Compensation in Europe (EUROTOPEX) survey.

Members of the Board of Directors are in charge of the management of the Company's respective divisions and responsible for managing the matters of CEZ Group subsidiaries in their respective areas of management.

Members of the Board of Directors receive the following remuneration and perquisites:

  • Monthly remuneration for members of the Board of Directors—Paid regularly after the end of every calendar month. The monthly remuneration is stipulated as a fixed amount. If a Board of Directors member cannot temporarily perform activities associated with service on the Board of Directors because of sickness or maternity/parental leave, they remain entitled to the full monthly remuneration for the first 30 calendar days. If such inability to perform activities associated with service on the Board of Directors lasts longer than 30 calendar days without interruption, the amount of monthly remuneration for every calendar month in which the member is unable to perform activities associated with service on the Board of Directors, from the 31st calendar day to the end of their inability, is 50% of the stipulated monthly remuneration.
  • Annual remuneration—Provided to Board of Directors members in addition to monthly remuneration, depending on the accomplishment of predefined specific tasks for a given year. The share of annual remuneration in the total compensation (monthly remuneration and annual remuneration) may be, depending on the importance of the position held in the Board of Directors (member, Vice-Chairman, and Chairman), 47% to 64%. Specific tasks and the relation between the amount of annual remuneration and the accomplishment of individual tasks are defined for members of the Board of Directors by the Supervisory Board's decision. The accomplishment of defined specific tasks is evaluated and the final amount of annual remuneration is determined by the Supervisory Board following an assessment of the Company's financial performance in the relevant year. Members of the Board of Directors are set a defined joint task (for 2019, it was achieving a planned value of CEZ Group's EBITDA) as well as individual specific tasks of both financial and nonfinancial nature, reflecting the responsibility of each member of the Board of Directors for their respective area of management and reflecting Group and project goals. Such specific tasks are set on the basis of strategic, financial, and safety priorities and goals and are based on the Company's current business plan and, most importantly, annual budget. All specific tasks have a defined target value, weight, and deadline. Recoverable advances on the annual remuneration are paid every month together with the monthly remuneration. The total sum of recoverable advances paid may not exceed 45% of the maximum annual remuneration.
  • Target-based remuneration—A Board of Directors member may receive target-based remuneration of up to six times the amount of their monthly remuneration for the accomplishment of specific tasks. Details, including the amount and due date of target-based remuneration, are specified by the Supervisory Board.
  • Directors' fee—Paid to Board of Directors members based on the shareholders' meeting's decision. The amount of directors' fees for individual members of the Board of Directors is determined pursuant to rules approved by the shareholders' meeting.
  • Stock options—Board of Directors members were entitled to options on the Company's common stock under terms and conditions set forth in a stock option agreement that was part of their contract of service on the Board of Directors until the end of 2019. A Board of Directors member's stock option plan started on the date of commencement of their membership of the Board of Directors subject to the Supervisory Board's approval. Stock options were granted every year, starting on the commencement of the stock option plan and then on every anniversary for the duration of the stock option plan. When an option is exercised, appreciation of the shares on a public market on the exercise date may not exceed 100% over the exercise price applicable to the option grant in question. The gain on the exercise of options, that is, the difference between the exercise price and the final price of the Company's shares on the exercise date, is subject to income tax and statutory deductions. The terms and conditions of the stock option plan were defined in accordance with the OECD Principles of Corporate Governance. At its meeting held on November 28, 2019, the Supervisory Board decided to discontinue the stock option plan as of December 31, 2019, and replace it with long-term performance-based bonus starting from January 1, 2020. Stock option grants from previous years remain valid with the exception of 2019, in which the grant of stock options was reduced proportionately by the Supervisory Board's decision according to the number of days remaining between a specific Board of Directors member's grant date and the end date of the stock option plan, that is, December 31, 2019. Stock options from 2019 may be exercised by no later than 3.5 years after the grant date.
  • Long-term performance-based bonus—A new long-term performance-based bonus program reinforces alignment of beneficiaries' and shareholders' interests by newly taking account of the payment of dividends and fulfillment of defined performance indicators besides being linked to the long-term trend in the market price of shares, as was the case with the stock option plan. The long-term performance-based bonus system is based on performance units that will be allocated to beneficiaries annually. The number of allocated performance units will be based on a set annual value of long-term bonuses and the price of shares before the allocation. The Supervisory Board defines performance indicators for each allocation of performance units so as to match the current situation at ČEZ and in the market. A year after the allocation, the Supervisory Board will evaluate the defined performance indicators based on supporting information provided by an independent advisor. The performance indicator for 2020 is defined on the basis of annual Total Shareholder Return (TSR). TSR corresponds to change in the market value of traded Company shares in the evaluated period, including the effect of dividends. The fulfillment of the Company performance indicator is assessed relatively to the Company's TSR percentile among all corporations included in the STOXX Euro 600 Utilities stock index created by Deutsche Börse AG. The leading curve for 2020 is defined so that beneficiaries will be entitled to a bonus only if ČEZ's TSR is at least in the 65th percentile; that is, the Company's TSR must perform better than that of 65% of companies included in the stock index. The number of performance units allocated to a beneficiary will be adjusted based on the evaluation of annual performance indicator fulfillment and this will be followed by a two-year holding period. The long-term performance-based bonus will be paid three years after the allocation and its amount will be based on the adjusted number of performance units, the price per Company share at the end of the holding period, and dividends paid during the holding period.
  • Insurance—Board of Directors members are beneficiaries of endowment life insurance, accident insurance, and third-party liability insurance taken out at the Company's expense. Upon termination of office or the Company's withdrawal from the endowment life insurance contract, the endowment policy is transferred to the member of the Board of Directors free of charge.
  • Company car—A member of the Board of Directors is entitled to a company car for business and personal use. Terms and conditions for the provision and use of such cars are set forth in separate agreements. The provision of a car for personal use is subject to additional taxation on the part of the Board of Directors member and fuel consumed for personal use is paid for by the Board of Directors member. If a Board of Directors member uses their own car to discharge their duties, the costs associated with such use are reimbursed by the Company in compliance with applicable law.
  • Severance pay—In the event of termination of office (other than the member's resignation) before the expiration of their four-year term, a member of the Board of Directors is entitled to severance pay. The method of calculation and payment conditions of severance pay are set forth in the service contract. This pay is no longer included in service contracts made with effect from January 1, 2020.
  • Reimbursement of travel expenses—When traveling in connection with the discharge of their duties ("business travel"), Board of Directors members receive meal and per diem allowances at rates stipulated in their service contracts and reimbursement for other expenses at face value; in addition, Board of Directors members are covered by travel insurance for short-term foreign business travel.
  • Benefits—Board of Directors members receive premium health care and other benefits matching those provided to Company employees under the applicable collective agreement.
  • Cash compensation for compliance with the Board of Directors member's obligation under a noncompetition clause—Considering the nature of information, knowledge, and expertise gained by a Board of Directors member during their service on the Board of Directors, the Company undertakes to provide the member with a cash compensation upon its termination, for the period and under the terms and conditions set forth in their contract.

Her employment contract did not include any provision concerning benefits upon termination of employment. As an employee under contract, she could have received pay in lieu of notice or severance pay upon the termination of her employment in accordance with the collective agreement. No consideration was paid to Michaela Chaloupková in connection with the termination of her above-mentioned employment with the Company on December 31, 2019.

Conflicts of Interest

No person with executive authority has any conflict of interest in connection with their role at ČEZ.

Agreements with Major Shareholders or Other Entities on Selection for a Current Position on the Supervisory Board, Audit Committee, or the Board of Directors

There is no prior agreement on the selection of a person with executive authority for their current position. Members of the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee are elected and removed by a shareholders' meeting.

Agreement with the Issuer concerning Restrictions on Disposal of Its Securities

Appreciation of the shares on a public market on the exercise date may not exceed 100% over the exercise price applicable to the option grant in question. Options may be exercised no earlier than two years and no later than by the middle of the fourth year after the grant date. Members of the Company's governance bodies as well as persons having access to inside information are informed by ČEZ's central controlling function of time limits (and any modifications thereto) applicable to the prohibition on trading in ČEZ shares pursuant to relevant provisions of the European Union's Regulation No. 596/2014.

Concern Management

ČEZ, a. s., as the managing entity, leads a concern, which also includes the following managed entities:

Areál Třeboradice, ČEZ Bohunice, ČEZ Distribuce, ČEZ Energetické produkty, ČEZ Energetické služby, ČEZ ENERGOSERVIS, ČEZ ESCO, ČEZ ICT Services, ČEZ Korporátní služby, ČEZ Obnovitelné zdroje, ČEZ Prodej, ČEZ Teplárenská, Elektrárna Dětmarovice, Elektrárna Dukovany II, Elektrárna Mělník III, Elektrárna Počerady, Elektrárna Temelín II, Energetické centrum, Energotrans, MARTIA, PRODECO, Revitrans, SD - Kolejová doprava, Severočeské doly, and Telco Pro Services.

Since the publication of the 2018 Annual Report, the Concern has been left by Energocentrum Vítkovice, which ceased to exist on January 1, 2020, through a merger with ČEZ Energetické služby. ČEZ Distribuce and ČEZ Energetické služby are subjected to concern management in full compliance with all requirements of unbundling rules resulting from the Energy Act and Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.

The common interest of CEZ Concern members is promoting and fulfilling concern interests on a long-term basis through the application of unified concern control. As part of concern management, the managing entity may give binding instructions to managed entities. General and operating concern instruments may be issued to that end. General concern instruments are shared CEZ Group documents and the managing entity's internal documents that are also intended for managed entities. Operating concern instruments are concern instructions given on an ad hoc basis. Fundamental documents having concern-wide application are Concern Management Policies governing primarily areas and activities that should be subjected to concern management and follow concern interests.

Under concern management, binding instructions may be given to managed entities provided that the following conditions are met:

  • The instruction is in line with declared concern interests
  • It is not unlawful to execute the instruction
  • The execution of the instruction will not render the managed entity bankrupt
  • Any detriment to the managed entity resulting from the execution of the instruction will be in the interest of ČEZ or another member of the concern
  • The managed entity was or will be compensated within the concern for any detriment resulting from the execution of the instruction with adequate consideration or other demonstrable benefit derived from membership in the concern

Corporate Governance Compliance

The Company's corporate governance is based on rules stipulated by applicable law, in particular the Business Corporations Act, Civil Code, Capital Market Undertakings Act, and Corporate Criminal Liability Act. As an issuer of securities admitted to trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie S.A., WSE), ČEZ is required to comply with the Code published by the stock exchange (WSE Code). The current text of the WSE Code in Polish and English can be found on the Warsaw Stock Exchange's website at https://www.gpw.pl/pub/GPW/ files/PDF/GPW\_1015\_17\_DOBRE\_PRAKTYKI\_v2.pdf and https://www.gpw.pl/pub/GPW/o-nas/DPSN2016_EN.pdf.

ČEZ takes into account all material rules of the WSE Code in its activities, considering the individual areas and topics governed by the Code to be important also to its shareholders. ČEZ's practices departed from the WSE Code in the following cases in 2019 (an explanation or reasoning for each departure or deviation is given):

  • Concerning the rotation of the audit firm that audits its financial statements, the Company adheres to the applicable Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16, 2014, on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities, and Act No. 93/2009 Sb., on auditors, which regulate these matters comprehensively. Therefore, the Company deems it unnecessary to set rules on the matter in an internal regulation as required by the WSE Code.
  • The Company does not pursue a diversity policy applicable to members of the Company's upper management, as required by the WSE Code. The fact that ČEZ does not apply a diversity policy consisting in equal representation of such elements as gender, age, or education among its employees helps the Company hire and keep talented employees and exploit their professional potential to the full extent. Nevertheless, no direct or indirect discrimination is allowed. Every applicant's education, expertise, qualifications, and skills are the determinant factors in hiring. A fundamental value honored by CEZ Group is a fair and equal approach to all employees regardless of their race, ethnic origin, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, health, religious belief, or other criteria excluded from consideration by applicable law, not

only for hiring but also for remuneration, personal growth, or career development. For the application of a diversity policy to Company governance bodies (Article 118(4)(l) of Act No. 256/2004 Sb., on capital market undertakings act, CMUA), refer to Diversity Policy in Relation to Company Governance Bodies below.

  • The Company does not publish on its website explanations concerning shareholders' questions provided by the Company during a shareholders' meeting. Such explanations are included in detailed shareholders' meeting minutes, which are available to shareholders upon request.
  • The Company does not publish any audio/video recording of its shareholders' meetings. Detailed minutes of shareholders' meetings are available to shareholders upon request.
  • The WSE Code requires that the participation of Board of Directors members in another company's governance bodies be conditional on the Supervisory Board's approval. The Company's bylaws and internal regulations do not include any regulation of such approval. Nevertheless, members of the Company's Board of Directors may not be members of the statutory governing body of a company with an identical or similar purpose (unless it is part of the concern) pursuant to applicable law. In addition, members of the Company's Board of Directors have an obligation to disclose any potential conflict of interest to other members of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board.
  • The Company has no means to ensure compliance with the WSE Code requirement that at least two members of the Supervisory Board be independent as two-thirds of Supervisory Board members are elected by the shareholders' meeting (from candidates proposed by shareholders) and one-third of Supervisory Board members are elected by Company employees from among Company employees in compliance with applicable law.
  • The Company has not set up internal processes for Supervisory Board members' providing a declaration of independence. Nonetheless, the Company has established measures to prevent a conflict of interest and members of the Supervisory Board have an obligation to disclose any potential conflict of interest to other members of the Supervisory Board pursuant to applicable law.
  • The Supervisory Board's report for the shareholders' meeting meets requirements for its contents as specified by the WSE Code, with the exception of assessment of the Company's system of internal controls, as such assessment is carried out, in compliance with applicable law, by the Audit Committee, which communicates it to the Supervisory Board and the Company shareholders' meeting, and with the exception of assessment of the Company's sponsorship activities, which are, however, regularly reported to the Supervisory Board, and assessment of the fulfillment of the obligation to provide information concerning the Company's compliance with corporate governance principles, which, however, the shareholders' meeting is informed of by the Company's Board of Directors, and with the exception of compliance with the requirement for the Supervisory Board's self-assessment. The Supervisory Board's report contains all information required by law, which the Company deems sufficient.
  • In compliance with applicable law, the efficiency of internal controls and the risk management system and the efficiency and functional independence of the internal audit function are monitored by the Audit Committee, which reports its findings to the Supervisory Board and the shareholders' meeting. The report presented by the Supervisory Board to the shareholders' meeting complies with applicable legislation.
  • The Company does not meet the WSE Code requirement for providing a public real-time broadcast of its shareholders' meeting, because the Company's policy, which is in compliance with applicable law, is based on permitting its shareholders' meetings to be attended only by its shareholders (either in person or by proxy), individuals that can reasonably give their opinion on items on the shareholders' meeting agenda, such as the Company's auditors or advisers, and individuals that make arrangements for the shareholders' meeting.
  • Representatives of the mass media can attend a shareholders' meeting, as required by the WSE Code, but their attendance must be approved by the shareholders' meeting unless they are Company shareholders.
  • Dividend payment is always dealt with by the Company on an ad hoc basis, in a decision of a shareholders' meeting. The WSE Code's requirement that the period between the dividend record date and the dividend payment date be no longer than 15 days cannot be met for technical reasons concerning dividend payment.
  • The WSE Code requirement that the Supervisory Board should approve making any significant contract between the Company, of the one part, and a shareholder having a share in voting rights of 5% or more or a related party, of the other part, is not included in the bylaws. Nevertheless, the Supervisory Board reviews the related parties report, which includes a list of the Company's contracts with related parties, including the majority shareholder. In addition, the relevant legal regulation (CMUA Section 121s et seq.) directly provides for the Company's obligation of only entering into any significant transaction with a related party with the approval of the shareholders' meeting. The Company bylaws then impose a rule that, among other things, all proposals to be submitted by the Board of Directors to the shareholders' meeting for decision or information must

first be submitted by the Board of Directors to the Supervisory Board for consideration and given the Supervisory Board's prior opinion, which ensures that significant transactions with related parties are both approved by the Company shareholders' meeting and considered by the Supervisory Board. The definition of a related party is included in CMUA Section 2(2)(d), which refers to Section 9 of International Accounting Standard IAS 24, Related Party Disclosures, set out in the Annex to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1126/2008 of November 3, 2008. A significant transaction means a contract or agreement under which (a) the Company's assets are alienated or acquired or (b) the Company's debt is increased, both in an amount exceeding 10% of its assets as shown by its financial statements for the reporting period immediately preceding the reporting period in which the transaction is made. Transactions made with the same related party during the same reporting period are summed up for these purposes. In addition,

The WSE Code requirement concerning information on the Company's compensation policy has so far been fulfilled by the Company by means of its annual reports, which include information on compensation provided to the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board, among other things. In compliance with the currently applicable legal regulation (CMUA Section 121j et seq.), the Board of Directors will submit the Company's compensation policy to the shareholders' meeting for approval. Subsequently, the Board of Directors will submit the compensation policy to the shareholders' meeting for approval whenever there is a significant change or at least every 4 years. The approved compensation policy will be published by the Company on its website.

Diversity Policy in Relation to Company Governance Bodies (Section 118(4)(l) of the Capital Market Undertakings Act)

The Company does not formally declare any diversity policy to be applied to its governance bodies, that is, Board of Directors, Supervisory Board, and Audit Committee. Decisions on the staffing of the Board of Directors are within the purview of the Supervisory Board and decisions on the staffing of the Audit Committee are within the purview of the shareholders' meeting, which exercise their will in these matters independently of the Company's internal documents and/or declarations. Likewise, decisions on the composition of two-thirds of the Supervisory Board are within the purview of the shareholders' meeting. In relation to the remaining one-third of Supervisory Board members that are elected by Company employees, the Election Rules applicable to the election of these Supervisory Board members place emphasis on providing equal opportunities and promoting diversity in respect to differences between people. In this context, the Election Rules emphasize that equal opportunity and diversity are the concern of the entire management, labor unions, and every individual at CEZ Group and the approach is fully respected in relation to the elections of Supervisory Board members. However, ČEZ does not have any means to influence the composition of this portion of the Supervisory Board within the meaning of a diversity policy.

Emission Reduction and Desulfurization

CEZ Group considerably reduced emissions produced by its coal-fired portfolio in the past. It modernized, desulfurized, denitrified, and enhanced the efficiency of its power plants in the 1990s. It shut down almost 2,000 MW of installed capacity. This was later followed by comprehensive renovation of its power plants located in mining regions and the commissioning of the zero-emission Temelín Nuclear Power Plant.

Report on Operations CEZ Group Financial Performance

As at December 31, 2019, the consolidated CEZ Group comprised a total of 208 companies, with 183 companies fully consolidated and 25 associates and joint ventures consolidated using the equity method.

Consolidated CEZ Group as at December 31, 2019

CEZ Group Financial Results

Changes in Revenues, Expenses, and Income

Operating expenses

  • Other income (expenses)
  • Income tax
  • Net income
  • Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading
  • Sales of electricity, heat, gas, and coal
  • Sales of services and other sales
  • Other operating income

Net income (after-tax income) for 2019 amounted to CZK 14.5 billion, which was a year-on-year increase of CZK 4.0 billion. This was in spite of the negative effect of a court ruling under which ČEZ Prodej had to repay SŽDC a payment of an obligation from 2010, which decreased CEZ Group's 2019 net income by CZK 1.1 billion.

Net income adjusted for extraordinary effects achieved in 2019, amounting to CZK 18.9 billion, is fully in line with Company management's initial estimates. At the beginning of 2019, CEZ Group estimated net income adjusted for extraordinary effects at the level of CZK 17–19 billion for the whole year 2019.

Operating revenues of CZK 206.2 billion increased by CZK 21.7 billion year-on-year, primarily due to higher revenue from sales of services and other revenue (CZK +11.5 billion), most importantly, distribution services. Revenue from sales of electricity, heat, gas, and coal (CZK +9.0 billion) increased primarily due to higher realization prices of generated electricity. A positive effect on the year-on-year comparison was also derived from higher amounts of other operating income (CZK +1.2 billion), primarily due to higher revenue from allocated color certificates.

Operating expenses were CZK 187.4 billion, increasing by CZK 22.1 billion year-on-year. The year-on-year increase was due to services (CZK -5.1 billion), purchases of electricity, gas, and other energies (CZK -3.4 billion), personnel costs (CZK -3.2 billion), fixed asset impairments (CZK -3.1 billion), fuel and emission allowances (CZK -2.3 billion), materials (CZK -2.0 billion), and total miscellaneous and other operating expenses (CZK -3.0 billion).

Other income (expenses) of CZK 8.0 billion decreased net income by CZK 1.8 billion year-on-year. The year-on-year decrease was due to the balance of other finance income and expenses (CZK -1.4 billion), impairment of financial assets (CZK -0.4 billion), balance of interest expense and income (CZK -0.2 billion), and higher interest expense on provisions (CZK -0.1 billion). Conversely, there was a positive effect of profit and loss from associates and joint ventures (profit; CZK +0.3 billion).

Income tax of CZK 3.9 billion increased by CZK 0.9 billion year-on-year due to higher earnings before taxes.

Financing activities and effect of rate differences and impairments on cash amounts

Investing activities

Operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased by CZK 7.6 billion year-on-year to CZK 42.9 billion. The growth was positively affected by profit before tax adjusted for noncash operations (CZK +19.3 billion). In contrast, there was a negative effect of change in working capital (CZK -10.6 billion), while change in the reporting of operating leases due to the application of IFRS 16, which also resulted in an increase in cash used in financing activities, had a positive effect on working capital (CZK +0.8 billion). There was a year-on-year increase in both income tax paid (CZK -0.8 billion) and interest paid (CZK -0.3 billion).

Working capital was negatively affected in year-on-year comparison by changes in the balance of payables and receivables from derivatives including options (CZK -17.1 billion), change in emission allowances adjusted for changes in the fair value of allowances for trading (CZK -10.9 billion), and change in inventories (CZK -1.6 billion). In contrast, there was a positive effect of change in the balance of trade receivables and payables (CZK +20.3 billion) and change in the balance of other payables and receivables (CZK -1.3 billion). Cash used in investing activities increased by CZK 6.5 billion year-on-year to CZK 32.4 billion. Acquisition of fixed assets including capitalized interest increased by CZK -3.8 billion year-on-year due to higher investments in property, plant, and equipment and intangible fixed assets. There was also a year-on-year increase in investments in the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures (CZK -1.3 billion), increased growth of financial assets with limited availability (CZK -0.8 billion), and decrease in revenue from the sale of fixed assets (CZK -0.6 billion).

Cash used in financing activities (including net effect of currency translation and valuation allowances in cash) decreased by CZK 4.9 billion year-on-year to CZK 7.9 billion. There was a year-on-year decrease in dividends paid to shareholders (CZK +4.8 billion) and in the proceeds from and repayments of borrowings (CZK +1.1 billion). The application of IFRS 16 to the reporting of operating leases resulted in increased cash used in financing activities (CZK -0.8 billion) while decreasing cash used in operating activities. Other items increased year-on-year (CZK -0.2 billion) primarily due to change in the balance of additions to and repayments of other noncurrent liabilities.

Structure of Assets, Equity, and Liabilities

The value of CEZ Group's consolidated assets, equity, and liabilities decreased by CZK 2.9 billion to CZK 704.6 billion in 2019.

Other noncurrent assets

Current assets

Noncurrent assets increased by CZK 21.5 billion to CZK 501.9 billion.

There was an increase in net property, plant, and equipment (CZK +10.6 billion), which was primarily due to increase in the capitalized portion of nuclear provisions (CZK +12.3 billion) and the application of IFRS 16 (CZK +5.8 billion); conversely, other effects decreased net property, plant, and equipment (CZK -7.5 billion)—most importantly, depreciation, amortization, and impairments exceeded investments in net property, plant, and equipment. Net construction work in progress increased (CZK +1.8 billion) and the value of nuclear fuel decreased (CZK -0.2 billion) year-on-year.

Increase in other noncurrent assets (CZK +9.3 billion) was primarily due to increase in noncurrent intangible assets (CZK +6.3 billion), where the most significant factors were increase in the value of long-term emission allowances (CZK +4.9 billion) and the effect of the acquisition of new subsidiaries (CZK +1.6 billion). There was year-on-year increase in long-term receivables from derivatives (CZK +2.2 billion) and financial assets with limited availability (CZK +1.9 billion). Conversely, there was decrease in long-term securities (CZK -1.4 billion), which was primarily due to the sale of a stake in sonnen Holding and revaluation of equity securities. Deferred tax asset increased (CZK +0.2 billion). The value of current assets decreased by CZK 24.4 billion to CZK 202.6 billion. This was primarily due to decrease in receivables from derivatives including options (CZK -30.8 billion) and trade and other receivables (CZK -7.2 billion). There was also year-on-year decrease in debt securities (CZK -0.9 billion) due to the repayment of bonds held. Assets classified as held for sale, originated in 2018 in relation to the intention to sell Bulgarian assets, slightly decreased year-on-year (CZK -0.2 billion). Conversely, there was year-on-year increase in short-term emission allowances (CZK +10.4 billion), cash and cash equivalents (CZK +2.5 billion), and inventories of fossil fuels and materials (CZK +0.9 billion). Other current asset items were also higher year-on-year (CZK +1.0 billion) primarily due to increase in contract assets.

Structure of CEZ Group Equity and Liabilities as at December 31 (CZK Billions)

Equity

Noncurrent liabilities

Current liabilities

Equity increased by CZK 16.1 billion to CZK 255.4 billion.

Equity was increased in 2019 by generated net income (CZK +14.5 billion) and other comprehensive income (CZK +14.1 billion); conversely, it was decreased, most importantly, by dividends paid to Company shareholders (CZK -12.8 billion). Other changes in equity are primarily related to sales of treasury shares.

Noncurrent liabilities increased by CZK 12.4 billion to CZK 262.4 billion primarily due to increase in long-term provisions (CZK +13.7 billion), most importantly nuclear. The year-on-year increase was also contributed to by noncurrent lease liabilities (CZK +4.7 billion) due to the application of new IFRS 16. There was increase in deferred tax liability (CZK +3.9 billion). Noncurrent derivative liabilities decreased in year-on-year comparison (CZK -7.3 billion), as did bonds issued and long-term loans (CZK -4.6 billion). Other noncurrent liabilities and liabilities attributable to capital expenditure increased year-on-year (CZK +1.9 billion).

Current liabilities decreased by CZK 31.4 billion year-on-year to CZK 186.8 billion. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in current liabilities from derivative trading including options (CZK -46.2 billion) and decrease in short-term loans (CZK -7.5 billion). There was only a slight decrease in liabilities associated with Bulgarian assets (CZK -0.6 billion), classified as held for sale since 2018 in connection with their intended sale. In contrast, there was year-on-year increase in the current portion of long-term debt (CZK +18.3 billion), trade and other payables (CZK +3.2 billion), and short-term provisions (CZK +1.9 billion), most importantly provision for emission allowances. There was also increase in income tax liability (CZK +0.4 billion). Other items of current liabilities decreased (CZK -0.9 billion), most importantly contract liabilities.

Comprehensive Income

Net comprehensive income in 2019 increased over 2018 by CZK 28.7 billion to CZK 28.6 billion.

Net income increased by CZK 4.0 billion and other comprehensive income increased by CZK 24.7 billion. Other comprehensive income was positively affected primarily by change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments (CZK +26.9 billion), which resulted from increase in the fair value of sales contracts for electricity supplies in 2020–2025 in relation to decreased market prices of electricity in 2019. A positive year-on-year effect was derived from the reclassification of cash flow hedging instruments to profit and loss and to assets (CZK +5.3 billion). In contrast, other comprehensive income was decreased by foreign exchange translation differences for subsidiaries, affiliates, and joint ventures (CZK -1.5 billion) and, particularly, by deferred income tax associated with other comprehensive income (CZK -6.2 billion). Other changes had a positive effect on comprehensive income (CZK +0.2 billion).

The net income of CEZ Group's biggest segment, Generation—Traditional Energy, decreased by CZK 13.8 billion year-on-year, which was due to lower dividends received in 2019 by the parent company ČEZ (CZK -19.5 billion), higher fixed asset impairments (CZK -1.9 billion), and higher income tax (CZK -1.4 billion). In contrast, there were two positive year-on-year effects: higher operating income before depreciation and amortization, impairment, and asset sales (EBITDA) in the segment (CZK +9.0 billion) primarily due to higher realization prices of generated electricity, including the effect of hedges, and higher profit from commodity trading. The Generation–New Energy segment's net income increased by CZK 1.8 billion primarily due to reversal of impairments. Net income in Czechia increased by CZK 0.6 billion primarily due to provisioning for a potential refund of Čekanice photovoltaic power plant revenue in 2018 (CZK +0.5 billion). Net income in Romania increased by CZK 0.9 billion primarily due to higher reversal of fixed asset impairments (CZK +0.7 billion) and also due to higher generation and higher selling prices of electricity and green certificates (CZK +0.2 billion). The Distribution segment's net income decreased by CZK 2.3 billion, including CZK 0.3 billion in Czechia primarily due to increased interest expenses (CZK -0.4 billion). The net income of Bulgarian distribution decreased by CZK 0.4 billion primarily due to higher fixed asset impairments (CZK -1.0 billion); conversely, its EBITDA increased by CZK 0.4 billion primarily due to higher gross margin on electricity distribution. The net income of Romanian distribution decreased by CZK 1.4 billion primarily due to additions to fixed asset impairments (CZK -1.1 billion).

The Sales segment's net income decreased by CZK 1.2 billion year-on-year. The decrease was primarily due to a court ruling from 2019 that ordered the repayment of SŽDC's payment of an obligation to ČEZ Prodej from 2010, which had a negative effect on the segment's net income (CZK -1.1 billion). Overall, net income in Czechia decreased by CZK 1.3 billion; other negative effects besides the repayment included a lower margin on commodity sales due to higher expenses on electricity purchases. Net income in Bulgaria increased by CZK 0.2 billion due to higher gross margin, primarily in connection with lower expenses on commodity procurement.

The Mining segment's net income increased by CZK 0.4 billion as compared to 2018 due to higher revenue from coal sales. The Support Services segment's net income decreased by CZK 0.1 billion year-on-year.

Concerning other indicators of individual segments included in the table, comments are provided below on year-on-year changes in EBITDA (operating income before depreciation and amortization, impairment, and asset sales), which is the most frequently used indicator of operating performance of companies traded on global exchanges and is monitored by international analysts, creditors, investors, and shareholders.

The EBITDA of CEZ Group's Generation—Traditional Energy segment increased by CZK 9.0 billion overall and by CZK 9.1 billion in Czechia alone. The increase was attributable to higher realization prices of generated electricity, including the effect of hedging and commodity trading (CZK +10.9 billion), higher generation at nuclear power plants (CZK +0.3 billion), higher margin on the operation of other generating facilities (CZK +0.7 billion), and higher revenue from sales of heat (CZK +0.4 billion) and sales of ancillary services (CZK +0.3 billion). Conversely, there was a negative effect of higher expenses on emission allowances for generation (CZK -1.9 billion) due to increased market prices and a lower allocation of free allowances, higher expenses on care of assets (CZK -0.8 billion) primarily due to expenses on compliance with emission limits after 2020 and additions to nuclear provisions (CZK -1.0 billion) due to a decreased discount rate. EBITDA in Poland decreased by CZK 0.2 billion due to higher expenses on emission allowances and increased prices of biomass for the Chorzów power plant.

The EBITDA of the Generation—New Energy segment increased by CZK 1.0 billion overall and by CZK 0.6 billion in Czechia alone due to lower provisioning for a potential refund of Čekanice photovoltaic power plant revenue (CZK +0.4 billion) in 2018 and due to higher revenues from small hydropower plants resulting from both higher generation and higher electricity prices (CZK +0.1 billion). Increase in EBITDA in Romania of CZK 0.3 billion resulted from higher generation and selling prices of generated electricity (CZK +0.2 billion) and higher revenue from sales of certificates (CZK +0.1 billion). EBITDA in Germany increased by CZK 0.1 billion year-on-year primarily due to a higher amount of generated electricity and lower fixed operating expenses.

The EBITDA of the Distribution segment increased by CZK 0.6 billion year-on-year overall and by CZK 0.4 billion in Czechia alone due to higher gross margin on electricity distribution (CZK +0.7 billion) resulting from higher allowed revenue, lower additions to allowances for receivables (CZK +0.2 billion), and higher revenue from capacity reservation and connection (CZK +0.1 billion); conversely, there was a negative effect of higher fixed operating expenses (CZK -0.6 billion), primarily personnel costs and facility maintenance. EBITDA in Romania decreased by CZK 0.1 billion primarily due to increased charge on revenue from licensed activities (CZK -0.1 billion). EBITDA in Bulgaria increased by CZK 0.4 billion due to higher gross margin on electricity distribution (CZK +0.3 billion) resulting from higher prices of electricity distribution and lower costs to cover losses in the grid, due to higher provisioning for litigation in 2018 (CZK +0.2 billion), and due to lower revenue from capacity reservation and connection (CZK -0.1 billion). The Sales segment's EBITDA was lower by CZK 0.6 billion year-on-year; the decrease was due to a 2019 court ruling under which SŽDC's payment of debt to ČEZ Prodej from 2010 was repaid including interest and costs (CZK -1.3 billion). Overall, the indicator

decreased by CZK 1.4 billion in Czechia, where the margin on commodity sales also decreased primarily due to higher expenses on electricity purchases (CZK -0.5 billion) but a positive contribution was made by increase in noncommodity ESCO activities (CZK +0.2 billion), lower loss on receivables (CZK +0.1 billion), and other effects (CZK +0.1 billion), most importantly lower fixed operating expenses. Increase of CZK 0.2 billion in EBITDA was achieved in Germany due to the acquisitions of En.Plus and Hermos. The indicator also increased by CZK 0.2 billion in Poland due to the acquisition of Euroklimat and, most importantly, with merger of CEZ Trade Polska and CEZ Polska. Year-on-year increase of CZK 0.2 billion in EBITDA in Bulgaria was due to higher gross margin, primarily in connection with lower expenses on commodity procurement. An increase of a total of CZK 0.3 billion in the other countries of the Sales segment was achieved in Slovakia due to higher gross margin on electricity sales and new ESCO acquisitions. The Support Services segment's EBITDA increased by CZK 0.1 billion.

Economic and Financial Outlook for 2020

As at March 16, 2020, CEZ Group estimated its 2020 consolidated net income* at CZK 21 to 23 billion. The assumed year-on-year increase results particularly from the expected increase of the consolidated operating income before depreciation and amortization, impairment, and sale of assets (EBITDA). On the other hand, higher depreciation and income tax have contradictory year-on-year effect. As at March 16, 2020, CEZ Group estimated its 2020 EBITDA at CZK 63 to 65 billion, which is a year-on-year increase of CZK 3 to 5 billion (that is, an increase of approximately 5% to 8% as compared to the actual 2019 figure).

The major causes of the year-on-year change in operating results are listed below broken down by segments to indicate CEZ Group's expected economic situation in 2020.

The Mining segment is expected to decrease by CZK 0.2 billion year on year. The Generation—Traditional Energy segment is expected to report year-on-year growth of CZK 1 to 2 billion, where factors with positive effect include higher realization prices of electricity produced, including hedging effects, while higher costs of emission allowances for generation and lower expected revenue from commodity trading (compared to their exceptionally high contribution in 2019) belong to factors with negative effect. The Distribution segment is expected to report a year-on-year growth of CZK 0.3 to 0.7 billion, particularly due to higher gross margin both abroad and in Czechia. The Sales segment is expected to report a year-on-year growth of CZK 1.5 to 2 billion, which is caused by the negative effect of litigation with SŽDC on economic results of 2019 in the amount of CZK 1.3 billion, and our growth ambitions in the area of energy services. Generation—New Energy and Support Services segments are not expected to report any year-on-year change. Reasons for the use of 2020 CEZ Group's EBITDA and net profit prediction intervals include particularly the following risks and opportunities: availability of generating facilities, electricity realization prices, commodity trading revenue and, new development acquisitions in ESCO area.

In 2020, CEZ Group expects its capital expenditures to reach CZK 37 billion, with most of them planned to be invested in production and distribution assets in Czechia.

The 2020 net income of the parent company, ČEZ, a. s., is estimated at CZK 13 to 15 billion, the bulk of which consists of estimated dividends received from subsidiaries.

* When assessing fulfillment of expectations, CEZ Group adjusts its net profit by exceptional effects generally not related to ordinary economic activities of the given year (e.g. impairment of noncurrent assets or goodwill) and such adjusted net profit of CEZ Group is the basis for application of the applicable dividend policy of the Company.

Solvency in 2019

Solvency of CEZ Group was good in 2019 and CEZ Group companies did not report any problems in paying their liabilities. Bonds issued by ČEZ, a. s., worth approximately EUR 2.4 billion, will mature between 2020 and 2022, of which EUR 0.75 billion as early as in June 2020. In preparation for refunding those bonds, ČEZ, a. s., issued bonds worth EUR 750 million on December 2, 2019, maturing in 7 years, with a 0.875% coupon. The coupon was the same as with a 2018 issue even though the 2019 issue was worth EUR 250 million more and had an almost double maturity period.

In addition, a loan agreement for EUR 330 million was signed with the European Investment Bank on December 16, 2019, to support a capital expenditure program for distribution system renovation and further development. The loan will be repayable in 10 years after drawdown and is expected to be drawn down in 2020.

CZK 12.7 billion was paid in dividends for 2018 and another approximately CZK 0.1 billion was paid in dividends for previous years during 2019. As at December 31, 2019, long-term bank loans and lease liabilities (including their current portion) amounted to CZK 23.4 billion, of which loans provided by the European Investment Bank amounted to CZK 8.6 billion. The average maturity of CEZ Group's financial debt was approximately 6 years at the end of 2019.

The 2019 net income (after-tax income) of ČEZ, a. s., amounted to CZK 17.4 billion, which is a year-on-year decrease of CZK 6.4 billion. The decrease was primarily due to year-on-year decrease in received dividends (CZK -18.9 billion). In contrast, there was a year-on-year positive effect of gains and losses from commodity derivative trading (CZK +6.9 billion) and additions to and reversals of impairments of financial assets (CZK +6.0 billion).

Net income achieved in 2019 is fully in line with Company management's initial estimates (amounting to CZK 17–19 billion). Operating revenues amounted to CZK 88.3 billion in 2019. They increased by CZK 8.5 billion year-on-year due to higher revenue from sales of electricity, heat, gas, and coal (CZK +7.8 billion), other operating income (CZK +0.6 billion), and revenue from sales of services (CZK +0.2 billion).

Operating expenses of CZK 86.7 billion in 2019 increased by CZK 5.7 billion year-on-year. The increase in expenses was primarily due to fuel and emission allowances (CZK -3.2 billion), other operating expenses (CZK -1.2 billion), personnel costs (CZK -0.6 billion), services (CZK -0.4 billion), and depreciation and amortization of noncurrent assets (CZK -0.2 billion). In contrast, the amount of operating expenses was positively affected by lower impairments of noncurrent assets and trade receivables (CZK +0.1 billion). Operating income was also affected by gains and losses from commodity derivative trading (CZK +6.9 billion).

Other income (expenses) amounted to CZK 9.0 billion in 2019. A year-on-year negative effect (CZK -14.5 billion) resulted primarily from lower other financial income (CZK -20.8 billion), which was primarily due to decrease in dividends received (CZK -18.9 billion) in relation to a significant amount of dividends received from ČEZ Distribuce in 2018. There was also a negative effect of the balance of interest expense and income, including interest on provisions (CZK -0.2 billion). In contrast, there was a positive effect of lower additions to and reversals of impairments of financial assets (CZK +6.0 billion) and lower other financial expenses (CZK +0.4 billion). Income tax increased by CZK 1.6 billion.

Cash Flows

ČEZ, a. s., Cash Flows (CZK Billions)

Investing activities

Financing activities and effect of rate differences and impairments on cash amounts

Operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by CZK 12.5 billion year-on-year to CZK 24.6 billion.

The year-on-year decrease in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to lower dividends received (CZK -18.9 billion) and change in working capital (CZK -14.4 billion). Higher income tax was also paid (CZK -0.3 billion). By contrast, earnings before taxes adjusted for noncash operations increased (CZK +21.2 billion).

In respect of working capital, negative year-on-year effects included, most importantly, change in the balance of payables and receivables from derivatives including options (CZK -16.2 billion) and change in emission allowances adjusted for changes in the fair value of allowances for trading (CZK -12.5 billion). In contrast, there was a positive effect of change in the balance of trade receivables and payables including advances and accruals/deferrals (CZK +14.0 billion) and change in inventories (CZK +0.3 billion). Cash used in investing activities decreased by CZK 13.2 billion in 2019 as compared to 2018, to CZK 9.2 billion. This was primarily due to lower loans made, net of repayment (CZK +13.1 billion) and higher revenue from the sale of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures and repayment of original contributions (CZK +3.4 billion), primarily as a result of decrease in the equity of Romanian subsidiaries. The opposite year-on-year effect was produced by acquisitions of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures (CZK -1.0 billion), revenue from the sale of fixed assets (CZK -1.5 billion), acquisitions of fixed assets including capitalized interest (CZK -0.5 billion), and change in financial assets with limited availability (CZK -0.2 billion).

Cash used in financing activities (including net effect of currency translation and valuation allowances in cash), decreased by CZK 3.2 billion year-on-year to CZK 12.3 billion. There were lower dividends paid in 2019 (CZK +4.8 billion) and a positive effect of change in the balance of proceeds from and repayments of borrowings (CZK +1.4 billion). In contrast, there was greater change in payables and receivables from Group cash pooling (CZK -1.8 billion) and lease repayments increased cash used in financing activities (CZK -1.2 billion), which was due to the application of IFRS 16 in 2019.

Structure of Assets, Equity, and Liabilities

The value of assets, equity, and liabilities decreased by CZK 4.0 billion to CZK 622.1 billion in 2019.

Noncurrent assets increased by CZK 17.9 billion to CZK 444.1 billion.

There was an increase in net property, plant, and equipment (CZK +7.5 billion), which was primarily due to increase in the capitalized portion of nuclear provisions (CZK +11.4 billion) and the application of IFRS 16 to the reporting of operating leases (CZK +2.5 billion). Conversely, other effects decreased net property, plant, and equipment (CZK -6.4 billion); most importantly, depreciation, amortization, and impairments exceeded investments in net property, plant, and equipment.

There was also an increase in property, plant, and equipment in progress, including advance payments (CZK +1.1 billion) and a decrease in nuclear fuel (CZK -0.1 billion).

Other noncurrent assets increased (CZK +9.5 billion) primarily due to increase in noncurrent intangible assets (CZK +4.8 billion) resulting from increase in long-term emission allowances. There was also an increase in ownership interests in subsidiaries including impairments (CZK +2.5 billion), long-term receivables from derivative trading (CZK +2.2 billion), and financial assets with limited availability (CZK +1.0 billion). Conversely, there was year-on-year decrease in long-term receivables (CZK -0.6 billion) and long-term equity securities (CZK -0.3 billion).

Current assets decreased by CZK 21.9 billion to CZK 178.0 billion in 2019. The decrease in current assets was affected by decrease in short-term receivables from derivative trading including options (CZK -32.7 billion) and decrease in trade and other receivables (CZK -6.2 billion), primarily those related to the clearing of electricity exchange transactions, and repayment of debt securities (CZK -1.3 billion). In contrast, there was year-on-year increase in short-term emission allowances (CZK +11.2 billion), cash and cash equivalents (CZK +3.1 billion), other short-term receivables (CZK +2.8 billion), primarily loans within CEZ Group, and receivables from Group cash pooling (CZK +1.2 billion).

Equity increased by CZK 20.3 billion on 2018 to CZK 203.5 billion. Net income generated in 2019 contributed to the increase in equity (CZK +17.4 billion); other comprehensive income increased (CZK +15.4 billion). Dividends awarded to shareholders decreased equity (CZK -12.8 billion). Other changes in equity (CZK +0.3 billion) were primarily related to sale of treasury shares. Noncurrent liabilities increased by CZK 11.1 billion to CZK 225.4 billion. Long-term provisions, especially nuclear, increased over the previous year (CZK +12.3 billion). There was year-on-year increase in noncurrent lease liabilities (CZK +4.3 billion) due to the application of IFRS 16. There was also year-on-year increase in deferred liability (CZK +3.5 billion) and other noncurrent liabilities (CZK +1.7 billion). In contrast, there was decrease in noncurrent derivative liabilities (CZK -7.3 billion) and bonds issued and long-term bank loans (CZK -3.5 billion).

Current liabilities decreased by CZK 35.4 billion to CZK 193.2 billion primarily due to decrease in liabilities from derivative contracts including options (CZK -47.7 billion). There was also year-on-year decrease in short-term loans (CZK -7.6 billion) and Group cash-pooling liabilities (CZK -4.6 billion). In contrast, there was increase in the current portion of long-term debt (CZK +19.2 billion), trade and other payables (CZK +2.5 billion), short-term provisions (CZK +2.4 billion), and income tax liability (CZK +0.5 billion).

Treasury Shares

To cover claims arising out of the Company's stock option plan, 3,125,021 treasury shares, representing 0.58% of its stated capital, were held on the asset account of ČEZ, a. s., with the Central Securities Depository as at January 1, 2019. ČEZ used 573,781 shares, representing 0.11% of its stated capital, to satisfy the claims of beneficiaries under the Company's stock option plan in 2019. The average call price at which the shares were sold to beneficiaries amounted to CZK 434.74 per share. The total amount received for the transfer of the shares to the beneficiaries was CZK 249.5 million (including interest). As at December 31, 2019, the above-mentioned asset account contained 2,551,240 treasury shares, that is, 0.47% of the stated capital.

Comprehensive Income

Net comprehensive income in 2019 increased over 2018 by CZK 19.7 billion to CZK 32.8 billion. Net income decreased (CZK -6.4 billion) while other comprehensive income increased (CZK +26.1 billion). Other comprehensive income was positively affected, year-on-year, primarily by change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments (CZK +26.9 billion), which resulted from increase in the fair value of sales contracts for electricity supplies in 2020–2025 in relation to decreased market prices of electricity in 2019. Reclassification of cash flow hedges to profit and loss and assets increased year-on-year (CZK +5.3 billion). The associated deferred tax decreased other comprehensive income year-on-year (CZK -6.1 billion).

ČEZ, a. s., Electricity Generation

ČEZ's electricity generation increased by 3.5 TWh in 2019 over 2018 to 53.7 TWh. The increase was primarily due to 1.9 TWh increase in generation at the Počerady CCGT plant due to lower gas prices, as well as to 0.8 TWh increase in generation at coal-fired power plants, especially the Prunéřov II power plant, whose generation increased by 1.0 TWh primarily as a result of generator replacement outages in 2018. Nuclear power plants generated a total of 30.2 TWh in 2019, which is a year-on-year increase of 0.3 TWh; the Temelín power plant generated 0.1 TWh more and the Dukovany power plant generated 0.2 TWh more. Electricity generation at hydroelectric power plants increased by 0.3 TWh year-on-year due to better climatic conditions in 2019. Biomass electricity generation increased year-on-year, too, by 0.1 TWh.

Safety and Quality Management

Safety is CEZ Group's topmost priority, which employees are reminded of at regular intervals by means of internal communication tools. The Board of Directors of ČEZ fully accepts its responsibility for ensuring the safety and security of generating facilities and the protection of individuals and the public. In environmental protection, it proceeds in compliance with applicable law as well as Czechia's international commitments. CEZ Group's centrally managed internal regulations give priority to safety and security in all processes and activities.

The safety management system at CEZ Group is structured into safety segments according to risks prevailing in the pursuit of activities and with respect to strategic management. In accordance with rules defined in CEZ Group, safety management is divided into three segment safety management centers:

  • Conventional energy

The safety topic of 2019 was "When selecting and assessing suppliers, we take into account their approach to safety and the environment".

Safety of Operated Nuclear Power Plants

ČEZ's nuclear power plants were operated in compliance with applicable nuclear energy legislation in 2019, fulfilling the conditions of all valid licenses. Their operation had a negligible impact on the environment and the populace. We continued implementing requirements set down in the new Atomic Energy Act and its implementing decrees.

Nuclear power plant safety enhancement plans were evaluated, updated, and implemented in relation to our Nuclear Safety Policy. The evaluation and updates take place every April and the 2019 evaluation showed that campaigns to enhance the safety of our nuclear power plants were executed on schedule. Both nuclear power plants carried out a qualitative upgrade (update) to their severe accident management guidelines (SAMGs) and enhanced the functions of the Standby Emergency Response Organization—communication with external entities. Both nuclear power plants successfully passed an environmental audit in November, meaning that they meet international environmental protection standards.

A WANO Corporate Peer Review Follow-up took place at ČEZ, a. s., in November, focusing on an assessment of how ČEZ, a. s., handled both areas with potential for improvement and on the level of implementation of defined corrective actions from 2017. Noticeable improvement was observed in the implementation. There are still several opportunities for performance improvement.

At the end of the year, both power plants introduced full protection of their most important parts, or vital premises, such as control rooms and containments. Those may only be entered by ČEZ, a. s., employees and contractor employees that have been security-cleared by the National Security Authority; in addition, security elements are installed on the premises.

Note: As at March 16, 2020.

Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant

A WANO Peer Review Follow-up took place at the Dukovany NPP in February to review nine areas for improvement defined by a WANO review back in 2017. Room for improvement was identified in maintenance, human performance, and engineering. On a four-grade evaluation scale, two best grades of "A" were given for chemistry and engineering and seven very good grades of "B" were given for the remaining areas. WANO team members appreciated the change and noticeable progress that the power plant had made in the areas.

Standard equipment tests before the restoration of Unit 2 operation after refueling, performed in June, identified a chemistry deviation from expected values at steam generator 6. Taking a conservative approach, a decision was made to shut down the unit, check the condition of the equipment, and repair any defects as appropriate. The shutdown was also used to check steam generator 2. The performed checks showed thinning of the heat-transfer areas of several tubes, which were plugged and then checked using the bubble method and eddy currents. Technical preparation for and the actual execution of a repair of steam generator 6, including procedure validation and repair documentation, required an 87-day outage of Unit 2 due to the location of the leak.

Temelín Nuclear Power Plant

An unannounced exercise—call-up and gathering at a backup control center—took place in April. All members of the Standby Emergency Response Organization arrived to the premises of the České Budějovice backup emergency and support center within sixty minutes of the allowed ninety-minute limit.

A small fire occurred in the nonnuclear part of the power plant in late June. There were no injuries or damage to property. The event was reported to the Czech supervisory authorities as well as to Austrian authorities in accordance with the Melk Protocol. The power plant was inspected by 28 experts from 17 countries on July 17 to August 2. This was the very first time when a mission took place during an outage and was led by WANO's Paris center. The WANO team identified three power plant strengths and nine areas for improvement. Principal recommendations concerned leadership and risk management.

Unit 1 underwent unscheduled disconnection from the transmission system in November due to increased vibration at the turbine-generator unit. Electricity generation was restored and the unit was connected to the grid once the entire turbine-generator unit was balanced out and checked and diagnostics were run.

Unit 1 was disconnected from the transmission system at the end of December due to repair of electricity generator cooling in the nonnuclear part of the power plant. Connection and generation were restored on January 3, 2020.

Cybersecurity

ČEZ has been the administrator of a critical information infrastructure pursuant to the Cybersecurity Act (CSA), No. 181/2014 Sb., since 2016.

At the request of the Czech National Cyber and Information Security Agency, ČEZ underwent a process of reviewing the identification of critical information infrastructure and the identification of fundamental service information systems in 2019. During the process, the National Cyber and Information Security Agency designated most systems necessary for the safety, security, and control of operated generating facilities at ČEZ, in both electricity and heat generation, as critical information infrastructures or fundamental service information systems. In relation to a warning against the use of software and hardware made by Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., and ZTE Corporation, issued by the Czech National Cyber and Information Security Agency in December 2018 and stating that such use presents a security threat, ČEZ reviewed its risk analysis of protected systems and took appropriate measures in the first half of 2019. In May and June 2019, ČEZ underwent an inspection pursuant to CSA, performed by the National Cyber and Information Security Agency at the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant site. In the final report, the inspection team stated that cybersecurity was handled at an appropriate level as required by CSA. Outcomes and recommendations from the inspection are addressed by ČEZ under its established management system. ČEZ also duly honors its obligations concerning computer security pursuant to Act No. 263/2016 Sb., Atomic Energy Act. In this context, comprehensive documentation of computer security measures was prepared for both operated nuclear power plants and submitted to the State Office for Nuclear Safety in 2019.

Supplier Competence (Audit) and Assessment

Suppliers of safety-relevant items and services are subject to initial and recurrent supplier audits carried out by ČEZ as a license holder pursuant to Section 9 of Act No. 263/2016 Sb., Atomic Energy Act. Supplier audits examine the extent to which suppliers comply with applicable requirements in nuclear legislation. The quality of a supplier's work is monitored and assessed on an ongoing basis according to a specified assessment system and predefined parameters and criteria.

There were 92 supplier audits conducted in 2019, including 25 audits conducted jointly with CEZ Group companies' principal contractors. By December 31, 2019, ČEZ had struck 5 companies off the List of Qualified Suppliers while it had 205 qualified suppliers of items relevant to nuclear safety and radiation protection pursuant to the requirements of SÚJB Decree No. 408/2016 Sb.

A total of 177 companies were assessed in 2019 under the supplier assessment system for supplies of spare parts and materials, services, and construction work having a relation to safety-relevant items.

Digitization in Distribution

Digitization, which means making more use of ICT infrastructure and technological applications in distribution, is an answer to growing demands placed on this sector. The development of renewables and electric mobility results in growing demands for active network management and the distribution service itself needs to better respond to the immediate situation. More and more customers also want to communicate with the distributor electronically.

Czechia

Fundamental Policy Documents

The foundations of the business environment in the energy sector are currently constituted, at Czechia's level, by a set of national policy documents, which include the following:

  • Updated State Energy Policy (SEP)
  • National Energy and Climate Plan of the Czech Republic (NCEP)
  • National Action Plan for Nuclear Energy (NAP NE)
  • National Action Plan for Smart Grids (NAP SG)
  • National Action Plan for Clean Mobility (NAP CM)

The SEP is a key national strategic document for the energy sector, providing strategic specifications for the development of the Czech energy sector until 2040. The SEP's mission is to ensure a reliable, safe, and environmentally-friendly supply of energy to meet the needs of the population and national economy and to make sure that Czechia has access to an uninterrupted supply of energy even in case of emergency. The SEP also reflects the previously approved targets of the European Union's climate and energy policy for 2020. The existence of the SEP is a prerequisite for creating a more stable and more predictable environment in the energy sector but only ensuing follow-up tasks will shape the direction taken by CEZ Group in the future.

The European Union's climate and energy policy targets for 2030 were incorporated into the Czech National Energy and Climate Plan in 2019; such plans were drawn up by all EU member states on the basis of Article 9 of the Regulation on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action, which entered into force on December 24, 2018. The NCEP covers all five dimensions of the "Energy Union":

  • "Decarbonization" dimension, which will cover greenhouse gas emissions and renewable energy
  • "Energy Efficiency" dimension
  • "Energy Supply Security" dimension
  • "Internal Energy Market" dimension, which will cover electricity interconnectivity, energy transmission infrastructure, market integration, and energy poverty
  • "Research, Innovation, and Competitiveness" dimension

The European Commission published its assessment of the Czech plan in June 2019, stating that its target is less than the 23% resulting from Annex 2 to Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 of the European Parliament and of the Council of December 11, 2018, on the Governance of the Energy Union and Climate Action1). The NCEP was approved by the Czech government on January 13, 2020. It includes a raised target share of renewables in gross total energy consumption by 2030, amounting to 22% rather than 20.8% as planned originally. It cannot be excluded that the SEP will be updated in the wake of the adoption of the NCEP.

The NAP NE, as a follow-up document to the SEP, describes options for and risks to the future development of nuclear energy in Czechia. In 2019, the primary job of a task force established for the implementation of the NAP NE continued to be preparing background documents and analyses necessary for identifying which solution for the construction of new nuclear units is acceptable for the state, contractors, and the investor. The NAP SG envisages gradual introduction of smart distribution grids and other measures in several stages to allow including more small generators and renewables in the electricity system. It is principally progressing on schedule. An update to it was started in late 2018 and approved by the government in the fall of 2019.

The NAP CM specifies requirements for the construction of filling and charging stations for natural gas vehicles and electric vehicles between 2020 and 2030. A key principle in the NAP CM is the principle of technology neutrality, that is, not focusing the public sector's support on just a single type of alternative fuels. The NAP CM can also be said to be progressing in line with expectations.

Coal Commission

The Czech government approved the creation of a Coal Commission as its advisory body on July 30, 2019. The Commission's objective was set to be providing objective and consensual, to the extent possible, outputs concerning future use of brown coal in Czechia. After its meeting held on January 13, 2020, it was announced that the Commission will prepare three scenarios for future departure from coal use in combustion facilities: a fast course would mean coal phaseout in 2030–2035; the middle course, in 2035–2045; and the slow course, in 2045–2050.

1) https://ec.europa.eu/energy/sites/ener/files/documents/cz_swd_en.pdf, p. 6 [accessed January 14, 2020]

The Coal Commission should present all three scenarios by no later than the end of September 2020, including their impacts on industry, economy structure, the energy sector, and the environment. They should also include an analysis of the social impact on employment in regions affected by coal phaseout. The Commission will make recommendations to be considered by the Czech government.

Construction of New Nuclear Units

In the government-approved State Energy Policy and the follow-up National Action Plan for Nuclear Energy Development, the government declared its interest in further development of nuclear energy in Czechia. To this end, the government established a standing committee on the construction of new nuclear power plants in Czechia, chaired by the Czech prime minister, and appointed a government representative for nuclear energy matters. ČEZ experts participate in the preparation of new nuclear power plants within work groups under the government committee. Documents named "Procedure for the Preparation and Construction of New Nuclear Power Plants at Dukovany and Temelín" (EDU II NNPP and ETE II NNPP) and "Analysis of Selected Investment Models for the Construction of New Nuclear Power Plants and the Manner of Their Financing" were prepared. The priority is the preparation of a new nuclear power plant at the Dukovany site, where the operability period of existing nuclear units will end sooner than that of Temelín units. The committee came to the conclusion that the most advantageous construction investment model was construction by means of ČEZ subsidiaries. It was also agreed at the government committee level that an agreement covering regulatory and market risks will be made between the Czech state and ČEZ. Subsequently, negotiations started between state representatives and ČEZ about the terms and conditions of the agreement and a team was created within the government committee to coordinate negotiations with the European Commission. At its meeting held on July 8, 2019, the government then debated and approved a document aimed at creating the conditions for further advancement of the NNPP project, including the European Commission's confirmation that the state aid complied with Union rules (notification). The standing committee on the construction of new nuclear power plants was presented a concrete construction program at its meeting held on November 13, 2019; the construction program assumes that a land use permit for the construction of a new unit at the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant will be issued in late 2021, the unit contractor will be selected by

the end of 2022, and the construction of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant unit will begin in 2029.

CEZ Group continued with work on development of projects for the new nuclear power plants. Complete draft tender specifications were prepared for the selection of a power plant building contractor and a fuel contractor for both projects. The tender specifications will be further adjusted as needed, depending on the chosen business model and manner of contractor selection.

Dukovany New Nuclear Power Plant

An opinion on the EIA report was completed and a favorable opinion of the Czech Ministry of the Environment, valid for seven years, was issued on August 30, 2019, as part of the EIA procedure for the construction of one or two new units. The manner of fulfillment of individual conditions in the opinion is still being analyzed. Draft documentation for the issue of a siting approval was prepared as input for proceedings before the State Office for Nuclear Safety and a contract was signed with the preparer of documentation necessary for the initiation of land use proceedings. Support documents are being prepared for the incorporation of the Dukovany NNPP project in all levels of land use planning documentation. Geological and hydrogeological surveys of the intended construction site and its neighborhood continued and environmental surveys were carried out in a number of environmental compartments.

Temelín New Nuclear Power Plant

Necessary preparatory activities were carried out, in particular the implementation of conditions arising from the issued EIA opinion and the issued siting permit for new Temelín Units 3 and 4. Documentation is being prepared for filing an application for the extension of the validity of the EIA opinion, related and induced investments continued to be prepared and implemented, and collaboration with ČEPS continued. The State Office for Nuclear Safety was sent an update to the Initial Safety Analysis Report (a supporting document for the siting application for Temelín Units 3 and 4) according to the new Atomic Energy Act. Preparations were made for the creation of documentation for the land use proceeding as another step in the NNPP licensing procedure. Draft contents are being drawn up of individual chapters of documentation for the issue of a siting approval for the nuclear plant site.

Situation in the Wholesale Energy Market in Czechia

The Czech electricity market is fully liberalized. Access to the grid is implemented by means of regulated access to the transmission and distribution systems. The wholesale electricity market in Czechia is part of a larger Central European market, thanks primarily to extensive cross-border transmission capacities between Czechia and the transmission systems of other countries. Prices in the wholesale market are determined on the POWER EXCHANGE CENTRAL EUROPE (PXE), which is part of the EEX exchange in Leipzig, Germany, and through bilateral contracts. However, the most prominent role in price determination is played by the German market and its EEX exchange in Leipzig. Trading in electricity on Czechia's power exchange ranges from year-ahead to day-ahead contracts. Anonymous trading on a daily basis is also possible on the organized markets of OTE, a.s., which offer day-ahead as well as intraday trading.

Official trading under the XBID project, or Cross-Border Intraday Coupling, started on November 19, 2019. On that date, fourteen previously coupled EU countries were joined by another seven countries. The project aims to create a solution for continuous intraday trading at pan-European level, increasing the overall efficiency of trading in the single intraday electricity market in the EU. Since the launch of the project, intraday cross-border transmission capacities at the Czech-German, Czech-Austrian, and Czech-Polish borders have been allocated only implicitly. Around 30 traders have been actively operating in the wholesale market for several years and there were four active electronic broker platforms with varying levels of liquidity in operation at the end of 2019. The day-ahead electricity market in Czechia is coupled with markets in Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania. Cross-border interconnector capacities were offered in a coordinated manner in 2019 by the Joint Allocation Office (JAO), transmission system operators' joint auction house, for all of Czechia's borders except the Czech-Slovak border. The capacity there is allocated on a daily basis along with traded electricity through spot power exchanges due to the market coupling arrangement.

ČEZ, a. s., reaffirmed its role as an active trader in the European context, and especially within Central and Southeast Europe, in 2019. Besides electricity, in which it trades in twenty countries, it also trades in natural gas, hard coal, oil products, and emission allowances. It provided ancillary services for the transmission system operator in Czechia. CEZ Group is an advocate of market liberalization and endeavors to contribute to increased market transparency through its activities. It also strives to further its positions through membership in professional associations such as Eurelectric, EFET, and IETA.

The principal trading channels for the forward market are the PXE platform at the EEX and the OTC market (broker platforms and bilateral contracts); organized short-term trading (OKO) arranged by OTE, a.s., has remained the principal trading channel for the spot market; and there is the new XBID platform for the intraday market. Ancillary services are purchased by the transmission system operator at auctions as a broad range of products for various time frames. The Czech market is one of Europe's most competitive markets in this segment, with independent producers outside of CEZ Group offering more than half of the necessary capacity of ancillary services. In terms of technical units, the share of ČEZ, a. s., in supplies of ancillary services in 2019 was 29%; the entire CEZ Group's share was 42% (a considerable increase over 2018).

Situation in the Retail Energy Market in Czechia

There are around 83 traders (traders with more than 100 service points registered with OTE, a.s.) actively involved in the retail market in electricity supplies to end-use customers and their number increased for the fourth year in a row. The number of (mostly residential) customers switching electricity suppliers peaked in 2012 in the wake of electricity market opening and then decreased every year until 2015. According to data provided by OTE, a.s., there were a total of 450,697 supplier switches at all voltage levels in 2019 (7.4% of service points switched electricity suppliers), which matches the 2012 figure, while the 2018 figure was 570,511 switches (9.7% of service points), which was an all-time high in the annual number of supplier switches.

With the fully liberalized and transparent wholesale electricity market in Czechia (functional PXE platform), the potential of other producers outside CEZ Group, and the transmission capacities of cross-border lines, more than half of electricity consumption in Czechia can be covered by producers other than ČEZ, a. s. While the overall average cross-border export capacity remained the same, the average wholesale price spread between Czechia and Germany increased from 1.5 EUR/MWh (difference between the OKO and EPEX spot markets) in 2018 to 2.5 EUR/MWh in 2019. Electricity was thus more expensive in Czechia again. The natural gas market in Czechia is also fully liberalized and operates on the same fundamental principles as the electricity market. Although it was liberalized later than the electricity market, the development of a competitive environment was much faster thanks to all key players' experience. The two markets exhibited a comparable level of competition in 2019. Mutual convergence of both markets is evident in the behavior of most active traders, who offer their customers both commodities. More and more customers have both electricity and natural gas supplied by the same supplier.

CEZ Group further reinforced its position as a major supplier of natural gas in 2019 through its member companies ČEZ Prodej and ČEZ ESCO. At the end of 2019, it supplied gas to 432,508 service points (as compared to 409,662 service points at the end of 2018), being the largest alternative supplier of natural gas in Czechia with a 15.3% market share (in terms of the number of service points).

Similarly to the electricity market, there are around 80 active traders (traders that have over 100 service points registered with OTE, a.s.) on the retail market in gas supplies to end-use customers. Their number increased for the fourth year in a row. There were 214,428 gas supplier switches in Czechia in 2019, approximately 19% less than in the previous year. Thus, 7.6% of service points switched their supplier of natural gas in 2019, which was 0.2 percentage points more than with electricity supplier switches.

Situation in Sales and Distribution

In electricity distribution, all prices are regulated by the Energy Regulatory Office. The Office issued price decisions stipulating prices of related service in the electricity sector and other regulated prices, stipulating prices of related service in the electricity sector for low-voltage grid customers, and specifying support for supported energy sources. There were 3,698,220 service points connected to the distribution network of ČEZ Distribuce as at December 31, 2019. As for renewable energy sources, photovoltaic power plants account for the largest number of facilities connected to ČEZ Distribuce's distribution network; there were 22,034 such plants with a total installed capacity of 1,044 MW as at December 31, 2019. The amount of electricity that flowed into the distribution network of ČEZ Distribuce, a. s., in 2019 was 44,524 GWh, that is, 1,476 GWh less year-on-year.

Economic Policy

The Czech economy kept growing in 2019, driven by increasing consumption in the household and government sectors, but it was affected by a previous slowdown in foreign demand growth. The Czech National Bank decided not to tighten its monetary policy and interest rates remained the same from May to the end of the year. However, demand for electricity, which is the main commodity sold by CEZ Group, is generally influenced by economic policy tools indirectly, through their effect on changes in gross domestic product, rather than directly. Moreover, demand for electricity as a widely consumed commodity only reacts to such changes to a limited extent.

Traditional Generation and Mining

Traditional Generation

Electricity Generation

Electricity generation by CEZ Group's generating facilities in Czechia amounted to 59,990 GWh in 2019, increasing by 1,713 GWh as compared to 2018, when it amounted to 58,278 GWh.

Nuclear power plants generated 30,245 GWh of electricity in 2019, 325 GWh more than in the previous year; the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant generated 223 GWh more, primarily due to higher availability (83.8% in 2019 as compared to 82.4% in 2018), and the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant generated 102 GWh more due to a shortened outage of Unit 1 and higher availability in 2019 (83.1% as compared to 82.7% in 2018).

Coal-fired power plants (biomass excluded) generated 23,367 GWh of electricity, 985 GWh less than in 2018. The largest decrease in generation was at the Dětmarovice power plant, generating 841 GWh less due to unfavorable electricity prices and high prices of emission allowances and hard coal, and at the Počerady coal-fired power plant, generating 818 GWh less due to unfavorable electricity prices and a higher plant failure rate. In contrast, the Prunéřov II power plant generated 967 GWh more than in 2018 when it experienced unscheduled outages for generator replacement.

The Počerady II CCGT plant generated 3,698 GWh of electricity, 1,940 GWh more year-on-year due to favorable spot market prices of gas in 2019.

Generation from biomass amounted to 631 GWh, 100 GWh more year-on-year. This was due to increased generation at the Hodonín power plant, which generated 50.4 GWh more thanks to completed engineering modifications that allowed using biomass as primary fuel in both of its boilers, and the Poříčí power plant, which generated 50.1 GWh more than in 2018 when there was a boiler outage for necessary environmental upgrades.

Generation by large hydroelectric power plants was 2,047 GWh, that is, 333 GWh more year-on-year due to better climatic conditions in 2019.

Heat Generation and Sales

CEZ Group's facilities in Czechia supplied 17,071 TJ of heat to customers in 2019, which was an increase of 421 TJ as compared to 2018. ČEZ Teplárenská, a member of CEZ Group, supplies heat to customers in 34 cities in the Ústí nad Labem, Karlovy Vary, Central Bohemia, Pardubice, Hradec Králové, Moravia-Silesia, and Southern Moravia Regions. The company increased its heat supplies to customers year-on-year primarily due to acquisitions of new heat consumption sites. It supplied heat to approximately 130,000 households in 2019. Energotrans's main customer for heat was Pražská teplárenská, a company supplying heat to Prague and Neratovice. The amount delivered was positively affected, year-on-year, by a colder period in the first months of 2019 and the resulting higher demand for heat supply among customers.

Capital Construction

Nuclear Energy—Existing Facilities

At the Dukovany and Temelín nuclear power plants, work continued on projects focusing on the enhancement of nuclear safety and necessary plant renovation and on projects related to generation modernization, stabilization, safety, and efficiency. Capital expenditures necessitated by conditions for operation extension were also made at Dukovany.

Preparatory work, selection procedures, and implementation were also underway for projects aimed to fulfill legislative requirements arising from the amended Atomic Energy Act. A major capital investment project for supplying heat from the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant to the regional capital of České Budějovice continues in the Southern Bohemia Region.

Conventional Energy

Preparatory, designing, and implementing work continued on projects related to plant renovation and operational safety maximization in 2019. As regards coal-fired power plants and heating plants, this primarily involved projects to enable operating the facilities after 2020, when new BAT emission limits (applied to integrated permits issued to polluters) will enter into force. All coal-fired facilities continued with intense testing of techniques to reduce mercury concentrations in flue gases, which depend on individual technical conditions and the type of fuel used. Work carried out in 2019 included an environmental upgrade to Unit 4 at the Ledvice power plant and Unit 4 at the Dětmarovice power plant and plant renovation work on Unit 3 at the Počerady power plant. New desulfurization plant was completed at the Mělník I power plant. In addition, preparations continued for specific projects related to scheduled overhauls of facilities that are planned to be operated in the long term (most importantly, projects to be implemented at the Tušimice power plant in 2021 and 2022). Implementation of measures aimed at reducing the content of mercury in atmospheric emissions also continued at coal-fired power plants.

Installed Capacity

Installed capacity at traditional generating facilities in Czechia amounted to 12,922 MW. A year-on-year decrease of 220 MW was due to the termination of the license of the coal-fired Ledvice II power plant on November 15, 2019.

Počerady Site

ČEZ, a. s., did not exercise its right to withdraw from the sale of the Počerady power plant by December 31, 2019, as economic conditions for the operation of coal-fired facilities keep worsening. The power plant will be handed over to the Sev.en Energy group on January 2, 2024.

ČEZ still owns and will own a CCGT plant at the Počerady site and will also keep the ownership of shared facilities such as a water feeder. This makes it still possible to construct a new gas-fired plant with a capacity of up to 800 MW at the site in the future.

Fuel

Nuclear Fuel

Fuel for the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant is sourced under a long-term contract effective until 2028 (including an option) with Russian company TVEL, which not only fabricates the fuel but also provides conversion and enrichment services as well as some of the base raw material (uranium). At present, the fuel is used at an increased 105% output in a full five-year fuel cycle thanks to the latest fuel innovation (Gd-2M+) supplied since 2014. A license for using such fuel with higher enrichment (4.76%) was obtained in 2019 and the fuel will be delivered for the first time in 2020. This fuel allows introducing more economical 16-month refueling cycles. A new type of fuel (PK3+) is being developed to further increase the utilization of uranium. Concurrently with the above activities, a project is undertaken for further utilization of design margins and possible increase of thermal power to a level of 107%.

The Temelín Nuclear Power Plant also continued to operate with TVEL fuel in both units based on a new long-term fuel contract. The TVSA-T fuel facilitated switching to operation with an increased output of 104% in a four-year fuel cycle and has the potential to enable safe operation of the units in a partial work cycle of five years. A second loading of an advanced type of fuel with increased uranium content and enhanced structural rigidity (TVSA-T mod2) was loaded into Unit 2 in 2019, allowing further increase in the efficiency of fuel utilization. A selection procedure was started for fuel procurement in the period following the termination of delivery under the existing contract with TVEL.

In order to create the conditions for the diversification of nuclear fuel deliveries and ensure a competitive environment, 6 fuel assemblies made by an alternative contractor, Westinghouse Electric Sweden, were delivered and loaded to Unit 1 in 2019, following the completion of development and licensing.

For the production of nuclear fuel, both raw uranium and its processing (conversion and enrichment services) were procured under long-term contracts, either by purchases from foreign suppliers or by direct fuel deliveries from a fuel producer. As the commercial extraction of uranium in Czechia was discontinued by DIAMO, domestically produced uranium is no longer purchased. However, the processing of its inventory possessed by ČEZ, a. s., continued, providing some of the uranium needed by the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant in 2019. A smooth transition, under a contract with a foreign uranium producer, will provide approximately 50% of the uranium needed by the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant until 2025. All demand for uranium and conversion and enrichment services for the nuclear power plants operated by ČEZ, a. s., has been covered by contracts until 2022. Some contracts were renewed in 2019 to last until 2025.

Desirable diversification of the supply base is maintained as recommended by the supply management policy of the EURATOM Supply Agency. In order to mitigate the risk of an interruption or other threats to timely supplies of nuclear fuel, ČEZ previously decided to increase the share of fuel fabricated at its power plant sites while decreasing the strategic inventory of uranium in various stages of processing kept by its suppliers.

Solid Fossil Fuels and Sorbents

The highest share of solid fuels supplied to CEZ Group's coal-fired power plants in Czechia in 2019 consisted of brown coal, in the total amount of 21,052 thousand tons (98.3% of coal supplied). The top suppliers of brown thermal coal to ČEZ in 2019 included Severočeské doly, Vršanská uhelná, and Sokolovská uhelná. The principal amount of 15,063 thousand tons (71.6%) was supplied by Severočeské doly, a member of CEZ Group.

Long-term coal supply contracts have been made with Severočeské doly (in effect until 2052—sales precontract), Vršanská uhelná (until 2062 and/or the exhaustion of the Vršany mine), and Sokolovská uhelná (until 2025).

The amount of hard coal supplied to CEZ Group's power plants in Czechia was 357 thousand tons. Of that, 67 thousand tons (18.8%) were supplied by OKD; the remaining 290 thousand tons (81.2%) were imported from abroad. One-year sales contracts are made for hard coal deliveries.

Sorbents for flue gas desulfurization at CEZ Group's coal-fired power plants in Czechia are delivered under long-term contracts. Sorbent deliveries amounted to 965 thousand tons in 2019.

Biomass

Biomass consumption within CEZ Group in Czechia totaled approximately 735.6 thousand tons in 2019. Biomass was burnt at the Hodonín power plant (approximately 404.9 thousand tons), and Poříčí power plant (approximately 284.4 thousand tons). Energetické centrum used phytomass for its heating plant in Otín near Jindřichův Hradec (51.3 thousand tons).

Natural Gas

Natural gas deliveries to ČEZ, a. s., were made under an annual contract with ČEZ Prodej, a.s., and amounted to 360 GWh in 2019. Natural gas is used as fuel for the operation of gas-fired boiler plants and also for the startup and stabilization of CEZ Group's generating facilities. It is used in the Prunéřov, Dětmarovice, Počerady, Tušimice, Temelín, and Ledvice power plants and in the Dvůr Králové nad Labem heating plant. Natural gas for the Počerady II CCGT plant is purchased on the wholesale market and its 2019 consumption was 6.5 TWh.

Outlook for 2020

Coal-Fired and Gas-Fired Power Plants

Electricity generation by conventional coal-fired power plants is estimated at 24.0 TWh in 2020. Utmost attention will be paid to the completion of environmental measures at the Mělník I power plant, the commencement of construction of a new DeNOx system at the Trmice heating plant, and the preparation of and commercial arrangements for another round of environmental measures for 2021, in which new emission limits will enter into force.

The Počerady CCGT plant estimates its generation at 4.2 TWh; it has also prepared an extensive overhaul for the fall of 2020, during which its capacity will be increased by approximately 40 MW by utilizing design margins.

Installed capacity should decrease in 2020 because the license of Dětmarovice power plant Unit 1 was terminated on January 1, 2020 (-200 MW), and the Prunéřov I power plant is planned to be decommissioned on June 30, 2020 (-440 MW). The Mělník II power plant will be put on standby.

Hydroelectric Power Plants

Hydroelectric power plants are estimated to generate approximately 2 TWh. Their actual generation will depend on hydrological conditions in Czechia, especially in the Vltava River Cascade.

Major repairs are expected at the Štěchovice II, Kamýk, and Slapy power plants.

Nuclear Power Plants

Nuclear facilities are estimated to generate 30.13 TWh of electricity in 2020. The availability of nuclear power plants is affected by scheduled outages related not only to refueling and the performance of scheduled maintenance but also activities aimed at continual upgrades and enhancement of the operational efficiency of the two plants.

Heat Generation Outlook

Heat supplies to customers from traditional facilities in Czechia are estimated at approximately 17,600 TJ in 2020. The actual amount will primarily depend on climatic conditions.

Mining

Severočeské doly

Coal Mining and Sales

Extraction, treatment, and sales of brown coal are the core business of Severočeské doly, which maintained its position as the largest Czech brown coal mining company in terms of coal production volume in 2019. Since a majority of its production is intended for consumption within CEZ Group, Severočeské doly is one of the smaller players in the free coal market. Coal is extracted in the Nástup Tušimice Mines and the Bílina Mine. The Bílina Mine, operating in the Teplice-Bílina area, extracts coal with a high calorific value and low content of harmful substances. It supplies thermal coal primarily to the Ledvice, Mělník, and Poříčí power plants and the Trmice heating plant. Its 2019 production was 8.8 million tons of coal. An important item in the company's portfolio is the Bílina sized coal, of which it supplied 1.8 million tons. The Nástup Tušimice Mines extract brown coal in the westernmost part of the Ústí nad Labem Region between the communities of Černovice, Spořice, Droužkovice, and Březno. Their 2019 production was 11.7 million tons of coal. Most of the production was delivered to local power plants at Prunéřov and Tušimice.

Export

Severočeské doly sold a total of 20.4 million tons of fuel in 2019, registering a year-on-year decrease of 0.5 million tons. The decrease mostly concerned sales to customers outside CEZ Group due to customer attrition and warmer weather.

Power plants and heating plants outside CEZ Group (over 50 MW)

Capital Construction

The corporate capital program focuses primarily on projects making provisions for extraction in the Bílina Mine. The structure of capital projects consists primarily of deliveries, renovations, and upgrades of mining equipment and dressing and crushing plants and construction of stabilization measures and water management structures.

Outlook for 2020

Severočeské doly plans to produce 20.7 million tons of coal in 2020. Delivering the planned amount is made possible primarily by higher planned demand from CEZ Group as compared to 2019.

LOMY MOŘINA

The company's core business consists of the quarrying and processing of construction aggregate and high-percentage limestones utilized in flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) systems. The company is a major supplier for FGD systems at ČEZ coal-fired power plants, to which it supplies 600–800 thousand tons of limestone per year, covering approximately 70% of their consumption. The share was approximately 71% in 2019, with limestone supplies to ČEZ power plants totaling approximately 680 thousand tons. The estimate for 2020 is approximately 730 thousand tons. Customers purchasing the company's other important commodity, construction aggregate, whose deliveries are estimated at approximately 200 thousand tons in 2020, are entities outside CEZ Group. Verified limestone reserves allow sustained, long-term extraction operations.

Zinnwaldite Exploration

ČEZ is considering joining a lithium extraction project at Cínovec. The current developer of the project is European Metals Holdings Limited (EMH), which holds a 100% stake in Geomet, the holder of an exclusive license for exploration for zinnwaldite, a lithium-containing mineral.

Renewable Generation

Electricity Generation

Electricity generation by hydroelectric, photovoltaic, and wind facilities operated by ČEZ OZ uzavřený investiční fond in Czechia totaled 345 GWh in 2019, 23 GW more than in 2018. The year-on-year increase in generation was primarily due to better hydrological conditions for generation at hydroelectric power plants than in 2018.

ČEZ Energo, s.r.o., which was included among fully consolidated CEZ Group companies on July 1, 2018, increased its cogeneration unit and boiler plant generation by 170 GWh in 2019. In contrast, generation by Energocentrum Vítkovice, a. s., decreased by 55 GWh year-on-year because the facility was put out of operation at the end of 2018. Exceptional use of the facility was only made in January 2019.

Heat Generation and Sales

CEZ Group's renewable generation facilities in Czechia supplied 1,793 TJ of heat to customers in 2019, as compared to 1,085 TJ supplied in 2018. The increase of 708 TJ was primarily due to the construction of new generating facilities of ČEZ Energo in 2019.

Installed Capacity

The installed capacity of renewable generating facilities in Czechia reached 391 MW, increasing by 14 MW year-on-year. This was due to the commissioning of new cogeneration units and boiler plants operated by ČEZ Energo.

Outlook for 2020

Renewable generation by facilities operated by ČEZ OZ uzavřený investiční fond in 2020 is estimated at 350 GWh, which would mean a year-on-year increase of 5 GWh. Hydroelectric power plants will account for the highest increase in generation, as their generation is estimated at 211 GWh, 14 GWh more than in 2019. Generation by photovoltaic power plants is estimated at 126 GWh, 10 GWh less than in 2019. Wind park generation is estimated at 9 GWh, 1 GWh less than in 2019. ČEZ Energo's cogeneration units are estimated to generate 332 GWh of electricity, which would mean a year-on-year increase of 26 GWh.

Trading in Electricity, Natural Gas, and Other Energy Commodities

Trading in electricity and other energy commodities in each European country where CEZ Group operates is organized centrally by the parent company ČEZ.

CEZ Group Production Position Arrangements

These involve the following activities:

  • Selling electricity generated by corporate plants on wholesale markets, including active control
  • Selling ancillary services provided by CEZ Group's plants
  • Procuring emission allowances for internal use

ČEZ sold electricity and purchased emission allowances in 2019 for generation in 2020–2025 by means of, most importantly, standard products (annual, quarterly, monthly) in the OTC market or on exchanges. It also sold electricity on spot exchanges and intraday platforms. In wholesale markets, it made hedges for future sales of electricity generated by corporate plants, hedges for future provisioning of electricity for end-use customers, and purchases of electricity in case of corporate plant outages. ČEZ was also the provider of ancillary services for the transmission system operator in Czechia.

In 2019, ČEZ continued trading as part of its active dispatch, which includes intraday trading optimization of CEZ Group's production positions across European electricity markets, including optimization outside working hours. Active dispatch includes trading operations motivated by the utilization of the flexibility of CEZ Group's generating facilities. Like any market participant, ČEZ is a balance responsible party that is responsible for any imbalance and its financial settlement with the market operator. ČEZ, a. s., seeks to minimize the cost of imbalances caused by unplanned outages of generating facilities or inaccurate predictions through active dispatch, reserve planning, and dispatch control of the Company's generating facilities.

Trading in Electricity and Natural Gas for Sale

CEZ Group purchases electricity and natural gas in the wholesale market for reselling to its end-use customers.

Proprietary Trading in Energy Commodities

The main purpose of proprietary trading is to make an additional profit by taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities or other forms of speculative trading on wholesale markets. Proprietary trading involves mainly commodities that are traditional for ČEZ, a. s., such as electricity or emission allowances, which are traded both in OTC markets and on energy exchanges, for example, at the European Energy Exchange (EEX) in Leipzig. Other traded commodities included natural gas in the form of futures products on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in London, the European EEX, and other trading platforms. Last but not least, ČEZ trades in hard coal using futures products on the ICE in London and the OTC market in commodity coal swaps. In 2019, it also traded in options with electricity, gas, and EUAs as their underlying assets and also in hard coal and oil with financial settlement.

There are specific risk management frameworks for all trading and dealing activities, which define allowed products, time frames, counterparties, and especially market and credit rules and limits on the basis of stop-loss orders (closing a position when a predefined loss is made), value at risk, current credit exposure, and future credit exposure. Adherence to the limits is reviewed daily and any excesses are dealt with in accordance with the applicable risk management framework.

In addition, proprietary trading has been regulated by the European Union since 2011 as a result of wholesale market regulation (see External Conditions in the Energy Sector—Regulation of Wholesale Markets in Electricity and Natural Gas).

Distribution

Electricity Distribution

Electricity in approximately 5 /8 of Czechia is distributed by ČEZ Distribuce, which arranged for 35,863 GWh of electricity to be supplied to customers in 2019. The year-on-year decrease of 117 GWh was due to a 286 GWh decrease in demand for electricity at the medium- and high- voltage levels. In contrast, consumption at the low-voltage level increased by 169 GWh year-on-year due to an increase in the number of service points and customers' switches to higher-consumption tariffs. The greatest portion of electricity supplied to the distribution grid in 2019 was electricity from the network of ČEPS, accounting for 64.6% (28,743 GWh), which was 1,005 GWh more than in the previous year. In electricity distribution, all prices are regulated by the Energy Regulatory Office. There were almost 3.7 million service points connected to the distribution grid of ČEZ Distribuce as at December 31, 2019.

Customer Service

A new portal Bez šťávy ("No Power", available at bezstavy.cz) was launched in January 2019 to allow customers to simply check the current condition of electricity supply to a specific service point. After entering an address or having their location automatically determined using GPS, customers can find out online whether a service point is experiencing a scheduled outage or an already reported power failure (in which case the customer will be informed of the estimated time of power restoration) or whether this is a new power failure that they can report instantly. The portal has been used by more than 120,000 customers since its launch. In order to improve services for calling customers, the call center uses new technology that allows, among other things, reacting more flexibly to operational occurrences in the distribution system. Callers are promptly informed of current failures in the distribution system using modern text-to-speech tools. Additional technical consulting centers (for contact with customers) were opened in 2019 in Hradec Králové (January), Pardubice (February), and Kolín and Liberec (November). They are used by customers that prefer personal contact or customers dealing with more complex issues that need to consult the matter in person. The centers handled more than 60,000 customers' distribution-related requests in 2019.

A Crisis Information System for municipalities serves to inform mayors and members of crisis management boards about estimated power restoration times during distribution system emergencies. The system was used to send approximately 53,500 informative text messages during 6 emergencies in 2019. At the moment, 90% of all municipalities located in the distribution area of ČEZ Distribuce are registered in the system.

Capital Construction

The principal objective of capital expenditure on power system renovation and development is improving the quality, reliability, and safety of electricity supply. Capital expenditures in 2019 went mostly into the renovation of distribution grids at all voltage levels, transformer substation reconstructions, and transformer and electricity meter renovations. A significant portion of capital expenditure was made on distribution system development, both to meet customers' increasing requirements for connection to the distribution system and to prepare for new trends in the energy sector by investing in digitization and smart technologies. The capital expenditures were mostly aimed at adding metering equipment to distribution substations, installing remotely controlled elements in medium-voltage grids, and continuing the construction of fiber-optic infrastructure development projects.

Outlook for 2020

ČEZ Distribuce estimates its 2020 electricity supplies to customers at 36.3 TWh. Priority areas in distribution include safe and reliable operation of the distribution system and implementation of key investment measures related to the integration of decentral facilities and implementation of new technologies and smart grid elements. ČEZ Distribuce continues implementing its strategy for fiber-optic infrastructure development in order to ensure long-term development of advanced technologies in distribution grid management, in synergy with preparations for a higher level of grid automation. In respect of processes, the company concentrates primarily on increasing the level of process digitization and automation, both towards customers and inside the company, with the aim of improving the speed and efficiency of such processes.

Sales of Commodities and Energy Services

Sales of Electricity and Natural Gas

In 2019, CEZ Group's offer for end-use customers in Czechia included:

  • Electricity (ČEZ Prodej, ČEZ ESCO, ČEZ, Elektrárna Počerady, Elektrárna Dětmarovice, Energotrans, Energetické centrum, Energocentrum Vítkovice, and ČEZ Energo)
  • Natural gas (ČEZ Prodej, ČEZ ESCO, ČEZ Energo)

Sales to end-use customers in 2019 amounted to 16,292 GWh of electricity and 5,124 GWh of natural gas.

Clients in Czechia can order electricity and natural gas as the commodity alone (Electricity/Natural Gas Supply Contract) and purchase distribution services directly from a competent distributor under a separate Distribution Service Contract. However, the much more frequent form is integrated supply under an Integrated Supply Contract for a given commodity, under which ČEZ Prodej or ČEZ ESCO not only supplies the commodity to the customer but also arranges for the provision of distribution services by a distributor according to rules specified by law.

ČEZ Prodej kept the price for its customers stable for the better part of 2019 despite increased purchase prices of electricity. This had a positive effect on its portfolio balance for both commodities. Following price adjustments at the beginning of the year, the company was finally forced to factor in the increased purchase price of electricity in November 2019. Because of developments in the energy market, all major competitors reacted in a similar way in the second half of 2019. CEZ Group's offering thus remains competitive not only in unfixed but also in primarily fixed products for both commodities.

Due to growing demand for supply of environmentally sustainable energy, CEZ Group created a new Green Electricity product in 2019, for which it guarantees its customers that their annual consumption of electricity will be covered by electricity generated from renewable sources, in the form of certificates of purchase origin. For example, electricity generation by the Vltava River Cascade and by a Czech biomass-fired heating plant was chosen for these purposes in 2019.

Corporate, municipal, and public authority customers are supplied with electricity and gas by ČEZ ESCO so that all of their energy needs, from commodity supply to energy services, are handled in a comprehensive manner by a single partner within CEZ Group. ČEZ ESCO supplies the commodity to approximately 23,000 customers in this manner.

Sales of Decentralized Energy Services and Energy Solutions

Energy services and new energy solutions for industrial energy customers, public authority customers, commercial properties, businesses, and municipalities are provided by CEZ Group through ČEZ ESCO, a company delivering energy savings, decentralized sources, lighting, and other energy products. It offers solutions with emphasis on new technologies, efficient use of energy, and integrated product offers. It also develops commercial products and services for electric mobility (electricity-powered vehicles and related infrastructure) and the Smart City concept with emphasis on healthy buildings, especially schools, and smart office (combining a photovoltaic installation and battery storage).

The company relies on the experience and quality service portfolio of its subsidiaries. Their number increased in 2019 through the acquisition of HA.EM OSTRAVA, s.r.o., a company providing engineering, implementation, and maintenance services to industrial customers.

More than 5.5 thousand business transactions were completed in 2019.

Additional measures were taken for the service model and performance management in order to accelerate the process of making a contract with a customer, the customer portfolio was newly segmented—Businesses and Municipalities versus Corporate—in order to maximize business opportunities, and emphasis was put on measuring customer satisfaction for both commodity and noncommodity products. The company also focused on the efficiency of its processes and on integrating and improving the coordination of subsidiaries in the ČEZ ESCO group.

Sales of Other Products and Services

Following its successful acquisition, TENAUR, a company engaged in building systems and renewable energy sources, was integrated into CEZ Group under the auspices of ČEZ Prodej and kept developing. It opened three new branch offices in Sviadnov, Roudnice nad Labem, and Cheb in 2019. This acquisition made CEZ Group a major supplier in the heat pump market, competing for retail market leadership with over 350 installations. Sales and installations of photovoltaic systems began growing dynamically following an innovation of the product portfolio and change in the selling process; thus, ČEZ Prodej carried out more than 500 installations in 2019 (more than threefold increase year-on-year).

ČEZ Prodej remains one of leading providers of repair and maintenance services for gas equipment in Czechia. The company considerably increased the speed of service delivery to the customer in 2019. Customer satisfaction with the product increased to as high as 86% at the same time. Also, the ČEZ Card service was discontinued.

Outlook for 2020

ČEZ Prodej is expecting an increase in electricity supplied to end-use customers in 2020 as compared to 2019. This will be achieved primarily thanks to two factors. One is minimizing customer attrition and reinforcing customer acquisition. The other is reducing the ratio of distribution losses to the amount supplied to customers and a resulting increase in the amount allocated for supply to end-use customers. At the same time, ČEZ Prodej was forced to adjust the price level of its products for residential and commercial retail customers due to an ongoing trend of increasing electricity prices on commodity exchanges. Consequently, price adjustments were made for households that use electricity to heat water and commercial retail customers on January 1, 2020.

As regards natural gas, there will be a positive effect of acquisitions made in 2019 as well as of estimated portfolio growth in 2020. ČEZ Prodej will thus reinforce its market position as the largest alternative supplier of natural gas in Czechia. Because of developments in natural gas prices on the exchange, the company is not considering increasing the prices of the commodity for its customers yet.

As regards technology implementation, ČEZ Prodej is expecting to open another two branch offices to get near to covering the whole of Czechia using its own capacities. It also expects further growth in photovoltaic installations and heat pumps. As regards energy services, ČEZ ESCO intends to further enhance its capabilities in smart and integrated products in 2020. Its main strategic interests for the coming period consist of energy savings and the construction and reconstruction of building systems, air conditioning, and lighting. The company will continue developing the smart cities concept (including projects for smart schools and offices) and electric mobility and will newly focus on building information modeling (BIM), IoT (technology enabling connected devices to connect to the cloud) for municipalities, and a new Photovoltaics for CZK 1 project as a service that is installed at ČEZ ESCO's expense with no need for the customer's own funding.

Challenges Push Us Forward

Territorial Change in Strategy—Focus on the Czech Market

CEZ Group's strategy is now more strongly than ever focused on the domestic market, by which the Group responds to region-specific challenges. New development investments in Czechia will mostly be made in the new energy sector and modern energy services.

Germany

Business Environment

Germany keeps striving for goals set in the Energiewende, whose focal point is ensuring sustainable energy supplies and creating additional economic value. To succeed, Germany's Energiewende and climate protection policy require purposeful, efficient, and market-oriented construction of renewables synchronized with transmission grid development. The share of renewables in gross electricity consumption has been growing continually: from about 7% in 2000 to 43%1) in 2019.

In November 2019, Germany passed a climate protection law aiming to ensure that national targets in the field are met by 2030. At the same time, it defined a legal objective of climate neutrality by 2050 and binding targets for annual emission reduction in the period of 2020–2030 for the sectors of energy, industry, construction building, transportation, agriculture, and waste to make up for the missed emission reduction target for 2020. Compliance with the targets will be evaluated annually for each sector and if noncompliance is identified, the responsible ministry will have to come up with a proposal for immediate corrective action that will subsequently be decided upon by the federal government. A carbon tax of 25 EUR/t CO2 will be introduced in the transportation and heating sectors in 2021 and increased over time to reach 55 EUR/t CO2 in 2025. The measure targets fuel suppliers.

A key element for meeting climate goals in the energy industry is progress in renewable generation and controlled phaseout of coal-fired electricity generation by 2038 in line with recommendations made by the Commission on Growth, Structural Change, and Employment. A law setting down the phaseout schedule for individual coal-fired power plant units was approved by the federal government in January 2020 and is expected to be passed by the parliament (Bundestag) in mid-2020. Federal government representatives and the prime ministers of federal states also agreed in January 2020 on a plan to possibly terminate electricity generation at coal-fired generating facilities in 2035 and replace them with gas-fired facilities in the respective locations. The federal government's goal is to achieve a 65% share of renewable sources in electricity consumption in 2030. Originally, it was intended to achieve a RES share of at least 40%–45% of total electricity consumption in 2025, a 55%–60% share by 2035, and an

80% RES share by 2050. The new 2030 target and the plan to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 represent rather fundamentally increased ambitions.

A concept of minimum distances from populated places, which was presented at the end of 2019 and should be respected by new wind projects in the future, has faced considerable criticism since the very beginning because it might substantially hinder the achievement of RES energy goals and prevent further construction of onshore wind projects. First, it was proposed to change the land use planning law so as to enforce a minimum distance of 1,000m everywhere, with federal states being able to set lower limits for a limited time. According to the new proposal, individual federal states should actively decide whether they want to implement the 1,000m rule, assuming responsibility for the identification of areas for wind turbine construction. Municipalities will gain a financial interest in the operation of wind turbines within the area of their competence. Both regulations are still subject to debate.

The system of subsidies for renewables has been based on regularly held auctions since 2015 (photovoltaics) and 2017 (wind), in which the lowest bid for the purchase price of electricity is the determining criterion for receiving support. Auctions held in 2019 comprised four regular and two extraordinary auctions for the construction of onshore wind turbines with a total capacity of 3,800 MW (however, support was granted for just 1,843 MW due to a limited number of eligible projects and a complicated situation with licensing procedures, which are often halted by legal actions and result in lawsuits with citizens' initiatives) and one mixed auction for the construction of onshore wind and solar facilities (support was granted to projects with a total capacity of 203 MW).

On September 17, the European Commission approved E.ON's takeover of some of the assets of Innogy (RWE), worth EUR 43 billion (over CZK 1 trillion). Following transaction completion, the E.ON group should be mostly engaged in distribution and electricity and gas retail. Innogy will concentrate on electricity generation, including renewable generation, and wholesale.

CEZ Group Operations

Based on its updated strategy, CEZ Group, as regards renewables abroad, continues developing its existing portfolio of wind projects with the aim of achieving maximum return on invested funds.

In 2019, CEZ Group was developing, in collaboration with local partners, wind projects in Germany with a planned installed capacity of approximately 305.5 MW. Some projects are nearing the stage of filing an environmental permit application pursuant to the German air pollution protection act (BImSchG-G).

In the second quarter of 2019, the Holt Holding transaction was settled (the partner's name was later changed to RUPR Beteiligungen GmbH), consisting in the acquisition of a 50% share in a joint venture founded for the purpose of developing three wind projects with a planned capacity of up to 112.5 MW.

Electricity Generation

CEZ Group's wind power plants in Germany generated 285 GWh of electricity in 2019, as compared to 266 GWh in 2018.

Installed Capacity

As at December 31, 2019, CEZ Group companies owned onshore parks with ten wind farms in Germany, consisting of a total of 53 wind turbines with an installed capacity of 133.5 MW.

Sales of Energy Service Commodities

CEZ Group's German operations focus primarily on the provision of multitechnology services (technologies in buildings) for electrical and mechanical building systems through the Elevion group. The Elevion group enhanced its competence in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) in January by acquiring a 100% stake in En.plus, a company operating in Berlin, Frankfurt am Main, Magdeburg, or Potsdam. Another January acquisition was a 100% stake in H & R Elektromontagen, a company focusing on the installation of electrical equipment. Yet another January acquisition was a 100% stake in GBM Gesellschaft für Büromanagement, a company focusing on work with information and data technology, technical services, and the operation of data centers (the company was later wound up). In May, Elevion successfully completed a significant acquisition of a 100% stake in the HERMOS group, whose competences consist in automation and IT solutions for industry, the energy sector, the environment, buildings, and healthcare. HERMOS provides solutions consisting of engineering, switchboard manufacture, software for automation systems and IT systems, and aftersales service. Today, the HERMOS group employs over 500 people, mostly at its headquarters in Mistelgau near Bayreuth. In May, D-I-E Elektro, a member of the Elevion group, concluded the acquisition of a 100% stake in FEA Automation. The Chemnitz-based company focuses on the technical planning and designing and operation and maintenance of fully automated building systems. In June, En.Plus concluded the acquisition of a 100% stake in Kälteanlagenbau Schröder. This helped increase its capacities around Magdeburg, which is home to the company focusing primarily on the design, installation, and subsequent operation of HVAC, including cooling systems. ETS Efficient Technical Solutions concluded two acquisitions in 2019. In June, it acquired a 100% stake in Detlef Walther, a Wernburg-based company engaged in building systems. In September, it acquired a 100% stake in Elektro-Technik-Pfisterer, a Plattling, Bavaria–based company that offers its customers technical planning, consultancy, and maintenance services.

CEZ Group in Germany also acquired a new company through the Kofler Energies group. The acquisition of GWE Wärme- und Energietechnik GmbH & Co. KG, based in Osterode, was completed in December. The company offers its customers services for the planning, construction, and optimization of cogeneration units.

Outlook for 2020

Electricity generation by CEZ Group wind parks in Germany is planned to be 314 GWh in 2020.

CEZ Group wants to focus—through the Elevion and Kofler Energies groups—on energy and mechanical building systems as well as on decentral energy supplies or deliveries of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning equipment.

Poland

Business Environment in the Energy Sector

The Polish energy market is almost fully liberalized. Wholesale market pricing is based on market factors. Electricity tariffs for residential customers and distribution charges are regulated. Prices in the heat market are based on a tariff system and require annual approval by the Energy Regulatory Office.

The government made nonstandard interventions in late 2018 and early 2019, aiming to freeze the escalation of prices, especially for households.

An amendment to the excise duty act came into effect on January 1, 2019, lowering the base rate of excise duty on electricity and freezing electricity prices at the level of June 2018. One of its objectives was to halt the escalation of electricity prices in the tariffs and price lists of commercial companies that sell electricity to final consumers and to create a specialized fund to cover the differences and losses arising from the price freeze for sellers. Following consultations with the European Commission, which requested liberalization of the whole energy market segment, the European Commission's approval was agreed on with a view to the goal of alleviating the impacts of transforming the Polish energy sector into a low-emission one. An amendment entering into effect in June 2019 then introduced a new compensation model.

The settlement of the first half of 2019 was carried out pursuant to an act of December 28, 2018, which meant that commercial companies were obligated to offer all consumers electricity prices at the level of June 30, 2018. In exchange, they could apply for price difference compensation.

In the second half of 2019, prices were frozen just for households, micro- and small enterprises, and some public sector entities, such as hospitals. Medium-sized and large enterprises could be offered market prices of electricity by commercial companies. In this case, medium-sized and large enterprises could ask for compensation under allowed de minimis aid. The amount of such aid was limited. It can be expected that the government will do its best to keep energy prices for end-use consumers (households) unchanged in 2020. In contrast, preserving the energy price freeze mechanism for enterprises is not expected.

Poland also commenced work on implementing Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 5, 2019, on common rules for the internal market for electricity, under which energy suppliers are entitled to freely determine the price at which they supply electricity to consumers (including households). However, member states are obligated by the directive to protect households that are affected by energy poverty; preferably, their tools should be social policy or other means but not public interventions in the price setting for the supply of electricity. Additionally, by way of derogation, they can apply public interventions in the price setting for the supply of electricity to such customers but these must be limited in time and proportionate as regards their beneficiaries. They must also not result in additional costs that discriminate against market participants.

Capacity Market

Capacity market mechanisms are aimed at creating investment incentives, in particular for coal-fired and gas-fired power plants, which can then serve as a backup in case there is a lack of electricity in the grid. They involve paying operators for keeping their power plants on standby to be able to quickly start supplying electricity to the grid. Capacity market auctions took place in December 2019. CEZ Chorzów took part in the main auction for electricity supply in 2024 and its offer was successful. Due to rules arising from EU regulations, the December auction was the last one that allowed participation of units with emissivity greater than 550g CO2 /kWh. The regulations exclude coal-fired generating units from participation in the capacity market.

Cogeneration Support

A new act on support for electricity cogeneration entered into force in January 2019. In April, the European Commission approved the Polish program of support for high-efficiency cogeneration, which was subsequently launched. The new system aims to create an incentive to construct new cogeneration units or at least modernize existing ones.

Renewables

An amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act, adopted by the Polish government in late June 2019, aims to clear the way for further development of RES, including wind energy. Auctions for renewable energy sources took place in November and December 2019. Europe's largest 2.5 GW auction was for wind energy and photovoltaics over 1 MW, approximately 0.7 GW was for photovoltaics, and 0.4 GW was for biomass. ČEZ participated in the auction with its wind projects and succeeded with its Krasin project with an installed capacity of 35.2 MW. Under the Polish regulatory authority's conditions, it will have to be connected to the grid within 33 months of the auction date.

Energy Policy

The Ministry of Energy published an updated proposal for the Polish Energy Policy until 2040. It assumes an increase in total installed capacity but a decrease in the share of coal-fired power plants from an estimated value of 58% in 2020 to 19% in 2040. In terms of generation, the share of coal-fired power plants should decrease from 69% to 28% over the same period. Poland also expects to start using nuclear energy—the technology and general contractor should be selected in 2021.

CEZ Group Operations

Traditional Electricity and Heat Generation

CEZ Group's power plants in Poland generated 2,443 GWh of electricity in 2019, which was a decrease of 379 GWh in a year-on-year comparison. Coal-fired power plants generated 2,438 GWh and the Borek Szlachecki small hydroelectric power plant generated 5 GWh. The Skawinka small hydroelectric power plant did not generate any electricity because it was decommissioned and excluded from installed capacity in 2018 due to generator breakdown.

The Chorzów and Skawina power plants in Poland generated 5,366 TJ of heat in 2019, which was 280 TJ less than in 2018, primarily due to temperature conditions.

Capital Construction

Most of capital expenditure was made in order to make generating facilities compliant with environmental requirements.

Installed Capacity

As at December 31, 2019, CEZ Group companies in Poland owned power plants with an installed capacity of 569.3 MW: 568.4 MW in coal-fired power plants and 0.9 MW in hydroelectric power plants; the installed capacity thus remained unchanged year-on-year. The capacity decreased already in November 2018 by 111.6 MW due to the planned shutdown of one 110 MW unit at the Skawina power plant and by 1.6 MW at the Skawinka hydroelectric power plant. A new small hydroelectric power plant, Skawinka 2 with a capacity of 920 kW, is planned to be put into operation on June 1, 2020.

Solid Fossil Fuels and Sorbents

The Skawina and Chorzów power plants consumed a total of 1,307 thousand tons of hard coal in 2019, which was purchased from mining companies in the vicinity of the power plant. The Chorzów power plant purchases coal under a multiyear contract with Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A. The Skawina power plant purchased coal from PG Silesia Sp. z o.o. (multiyear and one-year contract), Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa S.A. (one-year contract), and Polska Grupa Górnicza S.A. (multiyear contract) in 2019. Polish power plants also burnt biomass in 2019; the Chorzów power plant consumed 304 thousand tons, the Skawina power plant burnt 47 thousand tons of biomass.

Outlook for 2020

The gross estimate of 2020 electricity generation at CEZ Group's Polish power plants is 2.5 TWh, heat generation is planned at approximately 5.8 thousand TJ. Estimated sales of natural gas are at 0.47 TWh in 2020. Capital expenditure will be primarily on boiler repairs at the Skawina power plant.

Sales of Commodities and Energy Services

Sales of Electricity and Natural Gas

Large and commercial retail customers were supplied with 1.8 TWh of electricity in 2019, as compared to 2.7 TWh in 2018. Customers were also supplied with 0.9 TWh of natural gas in 2019, about the same as in 2018.

Sales—ESCO Services

In August, CEZ Group acquired a 76% stake in Polish company EUROKLIMAT with an option to purchase a further stake up to 100%. EUROKLIMAT, a company with twenty years of experience in the market, delivers comprehensive solutions for sanitary and electrical installations. It offers heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems, water and sewage systems, electrical systems, as well as control elements or equipment automation. It provides installation, maintenance, and design services in collaboration with leading global manufacturers of air-conditioning, cooling, and ventilation equipment. It operates throughout Poland, having offices in Poznań, Wrocław, Gdańsk, and Warsaw.

Outlook for 2020

The total amount of electricity supplied in 2020 is estimated at 0.3 TWh. The estimated amount of natural gas supplies is 0.4 TWh. CEZ Group keeps monitoring the Polish market in order to identify potential future investment opportunities in the segment of ESCO services. A divestment process will start for Polish assets in 2020 in line with the updated strategy.

France

Business Environment

The Energy and Climate Act, determining the course of the country's decarbonization, was published in the Official Journal on November 9, 2019, with immediate effect. The regulation sets climate targets including reducing carbon emissions to net zero by 2050 and decreasing the share of nuclear energy in the energy mix to 50% by 2035. It also orders shutting down the four remaining coal-fired power plants and reducing the share of fossil fuels in energy consumption by 40% by 2030. The act was originally intended to only adjust some targets set in the 2015 Energy Transition Act but was expanded during the debates to include a number of other topics, including energy-efficient building renovations, additional environmental reporting tools, antifraud activities, and climate policy management. The adoption of the act is a step toward the approval of a multiyear energy program (PPE) for 2019–2028, the principal tool for the strategic management of energy transformation and detailing of targets for individual energy sectors. An updated version of the PPE was published on January 15, 2020, followed by a month-long public consultation. Its targets for renewable electricity are almost identical to the previous announcement of November 2018; the final version should be known in the second quarter of 2020. The PPE is expected to provide a strong impetus for the development of the solar and wind sectors. The installed capacity of photovoltaic power plants should increase to 35.1–44.0 GW by 2028 (from 9.4 GW in 2019); the installed capacity of onshore wind farms should increase to 33.2–34.7 GW by 2028 (from 16.5 GW in 2019). The 2023 targets for offshore wind farms were slightly reduced (2.4 GW) while the expectations for 2028 are up to 5.2–6.2 GW1).

Nuclear power plants should generate just 50% of the country's electricity by 2035 (they generate 75% at present)—two reactors will be shut down at Fessenheim in 2020 (one unit was disconnected from the grid on February 22, the other unit should follow on June 30), to be followed by another 4 to 6 reactors by 2030. Overall, 14 reactors should be shut down by 2035.

Competition-based support for renewable electricity generation has been implemented for solar facilities since 2016 and for large onshore wind farms since 2017. Producers are thus directly exposed to market signals, having revenue from direct sales of electricity in the market while being protected by a compensatory premium paid up to a reference amount.

Three auctions for determining the amount of support for the construction of onshore wind turbines were held in 2019.

CEZ Group Operations

Capital Construction

CEZ Group made progress in the development of its portfolio of nine wind farms in 2019. However, the start of commercial generation was postponed until 2021 due to insolvency of the supplier of turbines for the Aschères-le-Marché wind farm with an installed capacity of 13.6 MW. Four other projects have already been issued construction and operating licenses. After the licenses become effective, negotiations over contracts for individual services will begin.

In January 2019, CEZ Group acquired additional onshore wind farm projects in France, comprising eight projects in an advanced stage of development with a potential total installed capacity of up to 119 MW. Two of the projects have already been issued construction and operating licenses, which have not become effective yet.

Other Activities

There are two companies operating in the country that have been acquired by CEZ Group's investment fund Inven Capital for its portfolio. Cosmo Tech, based in Lyon, specializes in the development of a software platform for the optimization of decision-making processes in the management of critical infrastructures and processes. Its solution combines human and artificial intelligence to offer alternative views of the future development of complex environments, improving and accelerating businesses' decision-making processes. Thanks to Cosmo Tech, for example, automaker Groupe Renault was able to create a digital twin of its organizational structure including production lines and identify key points in the manufacturing process and relations among them. In early 2019, Cosmo Tech became a finalist of the "10 000 startups pour changer le monde" (10,000 World-Changing Startups) award in a competition of the most innovative startups organized by BNP Paribas and La Tribune.

VU LOG, based in Nice, is a global leader in the provision of technology for mobility sharing in cities, involving green cars, motor scooters, and scooters. In May, it announced the beginning of cooperation with automaker Groupe Renault, consisting in the manufacture of sharing-ready vehicles. In late June, automaker Volkswagen put the biggest yet fleet of shared cars consisting solely of electric vehicles (1,500 e-Golfs) into operation under the name of WeShare in the German capital of Berlin. They are shared by means of a technological solution provided by VU LOG. Expansion to additional European cities is planned for 2020.

Outlook for 2020

We expect continued construction at Aschères-le-Marché in 2020. Necessary construction and operating licenses for another project should come into effect in the second quarter, allowing us to commence negotiations over all contractor services and preparations for the obtaining of a final investment decision for the wind farm construction.

Romania

Business Environment

The liberalization of the energy market in Romania was completed in the past. For business-sector customers, it took place in 2013; for residential customers, it occurred on January 1, 2018. All consumers of electricity are now entitled to choose their supplier in the free market.

Renewable generation in Romania is supported through green certificates. On the basis of a government ordinance, new rules governing support for renewable generation entered into force on March 31, 2017. The new legal rules extended the tradability of green certificates issued on or after April 1, 2017, from one year until March 31, 2032. Another change was that the price of green certificates was fixed, and the period of tradability of previously deferred certificates as well as the period for which such certificates will be reallocated were extended to eight years starting from January 1, 2018.

Government regulation No. 114/2018 on business activities of licensed entities was published on December 29, 2018. It increased the fee paid to the regulatory authority, ANRE, from 0.1% to 2% of the turnover of licensed companies (with the exception of sales and trading companies, which pay 2% of their gross margin); reintroduced regulated electricity tariffs for contracts with residential customers, including regulated electricity prices for manufacturers; set the maximum price of gas supplies for residential customers; and extended the validity of monopoly tax until December 31, 2021. The fee was factored into distribution tariffs valid from March 1, 2019. Government regulation No. 19/2019, passed on March 28, 2019, amended regulation No. 114/2018 and, among other things, factored WACC of 6.9% in the regulatory period of 2019–2023 (instead of the previously applicable 5.66%) into gas and electricity distribution and transmission tariffs. The increase entered into effect on July 1, 2019. The regulation also set the priority of gas sales at a regulated price so as to primarily cover all gas consumption by households and heat producers in the period from May 1, 2019, to February 28, 2022. According to the European Commission, this constitutes obstacles to the free movement of goods within the common market, so it initiated an infringement procedure (procédure d'infraction) against Romania.

Regulation No. 251/2019 concerning another change to the fee paid to ANRE was published in the Official Journal on December 30, 2019. The new regulation reinstates the levels applicable prior to government regulation No. 114/2018, namely 0.2% for distribution companies and 0.1% for other companies in 2020. This regulation became valid by the adoption of government regulation No. 1/2020 only. Government regulation No. 1/2020 amending government regulations adopted by the preceding government Nos. 114/2018 and 19/2019 was published on January 9, 2020.

CEZ Group's Operations

Renewable Electricity Generation

Support for generation at the Fântânele and Cogealac wind parks continued in compliance with applicable law in 2019. The wind parks were entitled to participate in the renewable generation support program and get green certificates for the electricity they generate. The allocation was 1 green certificate for 1 MWh in 2019 and will remain the same for generation in 2020. The Fântânele and Cogealac wind parks generated 1,185 GWh of electricity in 2019, which was a year-on-year increase of 80 GWh. The higher generation was primarily due to better weather conditions. Small hydroelectric power plants operated by TMK Hydroenergy Power S.R.L. at Reşiţa generated 66 GWh of electricity, which was a year-on-year decrease of 17 GWh due to worse hydrological conditions than in the previous year.

Capital Construction

Capital expenditures in 2019 went primarily into the renovation of individual turbine components at the Fântânele and Cogealac wind parks. Minor capital expenditures at the hydroelectric power plant of TMK Hydroenergy Power S.R.L. were primarily made on repairs of water channels.

Installed Capacity

As at December 31, 2019, CEZ Group had an installed capacity of 622 MW in Romania, which remained unchanged year-on-year.

Electricity Distribution

A new five-year regulatory period began on January 1, 2019. The key change was WACC reduction from 7.7% to 5.66% + 1% for new investments; new ambitious loss reduction plans were formulated, especially for the amount of losses to be achieved at the low-voltage level by 2023; and a minimum level was set for regulatory investment write-offs.

The new regulatory parameters were already factored into tariffs applicable from January 1, 2019. The tariffs increased twice in 2019. The first increase came into effect on March 1, 2019, and factored in the increase in the fee paid to ANRE from 0.1% to 2% of licensed activity turnover, which was approved based on the government regulation of December 29, 2018. The second increase in distribution tariffs was approved by ANRE with effect from July 1, 2019. This adjusted final prices to factor in an increase in the indicator of return on distribution assets (WACC), decided on by the regulatory authority already on May 23, 2019, based on the government regulation adjusting WACC from 5.66% to 6.9%.

On December 16, 2019, the Romanian regulatory authority approved new distribution tariffs effective from January 1, 2020. The Romanian distribution company's tariffs increased by more than 7% at all voltage levels. Another minor adjustment was made to the tariffs by the regulatory authority in January 2020. This change adjusted the tariffs to factor in a decrease in distribution costs due to another change of the licensed activity turnover fee paid to ANRE, which was decreased from 2% to 0.2% by government regulation 1/2020. Even after this adjustment, the 2020 tariffs are higher year-on-year by more than 5% on average. Distributie Energie Oltenia S.A. distributed a total of 6,810 GWh of electricity to end-use customers in 2019, which was a slight year-on-year decrease of 17 GWh.

Capital Construction

Capital expenditures on distribution in 2019 were primarily aimed at improving the parameters of the distribution grid at all voltage levels and at exchanges of electricity meters.

Sales of Commodities and Energy Services

Sales of Electricity and Natural Gas

CEZ Vanzare sold 3,708 GWh of electricity to end-use customers in 2019, which is a year-on-year increase of 283 GWh. The higher sales were primarily due to increased power supplies to commercial medium-voltage customers and high-voltage customers. CEZ Vanzare delivered 1,170 GWh of natural gas to its end-use customers in 2019. Compared to 1,086 GWh in the previous year, slightly increased amounts were delivered to both corporate and residential customers.

Sales—ESCO Services

CEZ Group provides ESCO services in Romania through its subsidiary High-Tech Clima specializing in the installation of air conditioning, ventilation, and heating systems.

Outlook for 2020

CEZ Group estimates electricity generation at the Fântânele and Cogealac wind parks at 1.3 TWh in 2020. The Reşiţa hydroelectric power plant system should generate 0.1 TWh of electricity.

The amount of electricity distributed to end-use customers in 2020 is estimated at 7.1 TWh. Electricity sales to end-use customers are estimated at 3.6 TWh.

High-Tech Clima expects to achieve further growth in the services it offers in 2020. CEZ Group will monitor the Romanian ESCO service market in order to identify potential investment opportunities.

Divestment of Generation and Distribution Assets

A sale of Romanian assets was initiated transparently by publishing a request for letters of interest in the Financial Times, Hospodářské noviny, and other media on September 9, 2019. Based on the published request, 34 investors expressed interest in CEZ Group's Romanian assets.

All interested parties that met the conditions for participation in the selling process were sent documents needed to prepare and submit indicative offers, starting the first stage of the selling process.

Offers from 19 investors were received by the deadline for indicative offers, which was set to December 2, 2019. All indicative offers were carefully evaluated and investors whose offers were found the most interesting were invited to the second stage of the selling process.

Bulgaria

Business Environment

Corporate and residential low-voltage customers have been able to choose a supplier of electricity at unregulated prices since April 2016. However, these customers largely keep their protected customer status and are generally supplied with energy at regulated prices set by the regulatory authority—the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC).

New rules for electricity metering entered into force on May 1, 2019. The most significant changes include distributors' authorization to directly bill customers for illegally consumed electricity and distributors' obligation to check electricity meters every 3 months.

The Energy Act obligates electricity generators with an installed capacity of 1–4 MW to sell generated electricity on the IBEX exchange starting from July 1, 2019; previously, such electricity was purchased by NEK. The state will compensate generators for any difference between the market price and the guaranteed purchase price. This measure is expected to increase the exchange's liquidity. Bulgaria was the last country in Europe to lift its tax on electricity exports and imports. It introduced a fee for access to the grid for all generators.

Efforts continued to increase the interconnectedness of electricity markets in Southeast Europe. In September, the day-ahead electricity market operated by the IBEX exchange was coupled with the day-ahead market in electricity at the Romanian border. The day-ahead electricity market is also planned to be coupled with other markets in Europe in the second half of 2020.

CEZ Group Operations

Renewable Electricity Generation

The Oreshets photovoltaic power plant generated 6.4 GWh of electricity in 2019, which was a year-on-year increase of 5%. No capital expenditure on the Bulgarian generation assets was made in 2019.

Installed Capacity

CEZ Group's installed capacity in Bulgaria amounted to 5.0 MW as at December 31, 2019, remaining unchanged year-on-year.

Electricity Distribution

On July 1, 2019, Bulgarian regulatory authority EWRC issued a price decision effective from July 1, 2019, to June 30, 2020. The regulatory authority still refuses to recognize the actual amount of technological losses in the grid.

In Bulgaria, electricity is distributed by CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria, which distributed a total of 9,426 GWh of electricity to end-use customers in 2019, or 115 GWh less year-on-year.

Capital Construction

Capital expenditure in 2019 went primarily to improving distribution grid quality, replacing electric meters, critical infrastructure in Sofia, and new connections to the distribution grid. Furthermore, capital expenditure was used for mandatory buyouts of distribution assets.

Sales of Commodities and Energy Services

Electricity Sales

CEZ Elektro Bulgaria sold a total of 6,270 GWh of electricity to end-use customers in 2019, which is a year-on-year increase of 151 GWh. CEZ Trade Bulgaria sold 4,207 GWh of electricity to end-use customers in the free market in 2019, or 239 GWh less year-on-year. The decrease was primarily due to a temporary lack of liquidity at the beginning of 2019 and some customers' return to the regulated market associated with it. This effect was eliminated during the course of 2019.

Sales—ESCO Services

CEZ ESCO Bulgaria was established in Bulgaria in 2017. The company implements energy projects for end-use customers in the Bulgarian market. Eighteen projects for energy savings were signed before the end of 2019.

Outlook for 2020

For 2020, the amount of electricity generated is estimated at 6.2 GWh and the amount of electricity supplied to CEZ Elektro Bulgaria's customers is estimated at 5.9 TWh. Active operations will continue in the market. We estimate that the amount of electricity supplied by CEZ Trade Bulgaria in 2020 will increase slightly year-on-year.

The implementation of energy-saving ESCO projects will continue, primarily in photovoltaics, lighting, and HVAC.

International Arbitration

Following a number of interventions by Bulgarian authorities injuring ČEZ companies' business in Bulgaria, ČEZ commenced international investment arbitration back in 2016 against the Republic of Bulgaria under the Energy Charter Treaty on grounds of investment nonprotection.

Divestment of Assets

An agreement for the sale of Bulgarian assets was made with Inercom on February 23, 2018, as part of a transparent selling process. The sale concerns seven companies: CEZ Bulgaria, CEZ Elektro Bulgaria, CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria, CEZ Trade Bulgaria, CEZ ICT Bulgaria, Free Energy Project Oreshets, and Bara Group.

After more than a year of its signing, the sales agreement with Inercom was terminated on April 15, 2019, because the Bulgarian state's actions frustrated the fulfillment of conditions precedent and thus the performance of the agreement.

Following rejection by the KZK, ČEZ initiated simultaneous talks with other prospective buyers of its Bulgarian assets. ČEZ received two new binding offers—from Eurohold and India Power—in the resumed selection procedure and assessed Eurohold's offer as the better of the two. Furthermore, the offer was in general more advantageous than the terms and conditions of the terminated agreement with Inercom.

Having been debated and approved by the company's governance bodies, an agreement for the sale of CEZ Group's Bulgarian assets was made with Eurohold on June 20, 2019. The settlement of the transaction was also subject to approval by the KZK and the Bulgarian energy regulatory authority.

Eurohold submitted an application for the authorization of a concentration of undertakings to the KZK on August 2, 2019. The KZK initiated an authorization proceeding in respect of the concentration of undertakings as late as on October 3, 2019, more than two months after the application was submitted, whereby the standard period of 25 business days for issuing its decision commenced. However, the KZK suspended the proceeding on the same day and requested additional information. As soon as it was provided with the additional information, the KZK issued a decision ordering an in-depth investigation of the case, extending the standard time limit for issuing its decision by an additional four months. Using procedural measures, the KZK managed to extend the time limit for issuing its decision until March 16, 2020.

However, the KZK surprisingly took its decision on the transaction as early as on October 24, 2019, disapproving the transaction. Reasons given by the KZK for its decision included an allegation that the concentration would allow the merged group to make use of its significant position in the Bulgarian markets in insurance (where the Eurohold group operates) and electricity trading (where CEZ Group operates). Specifically, according to the KZK, insurance products necessary for operations in the electricity market might be provided on favorable terms within the merged group, giving it an advantage over other market participants.

Having analyzed the reasoning—with ČEZ considering the decision legally irrelevant—and the steps taken by the KZK, both ČEZ and Eurohold decided to file an administrative action with the administrative court in Sofia, which CEZ Group did on November 7, 2019, and Eurohold did on November 11, 2019. The first hearing was held on March 9, 2020. The case was adjourned and will continue on April 6, 2020.

The arbitration claim was not sold off and the arbitration is still carried on by ČEZ, a. s.

Other Countries

Turkey

Business Environment

Turkey's internal political situation in 2019 was affected by local government elections in March, in which the president's ruling party, AK Parti, won overall but failed especially in large cities (Ankara, Izmir, Istanbul). What followed was a decision to repeat the elections in Istanbul, Turkey's major economic hub, in which the opposition candidate scored a clear-cut victory. Turkey's military got actively involved in operations in Syria and Libya. Because of this, among other things, there is continued tension in relations with the U.S. over the country's armament program, which augments the volatility of the local currency and a negative view of the environment among foreign investors. As concerns the energy sector, full liberalization has not been completed yet, electricity and gas prices continue to be tampered with, and there is continued politicization of the distribution and retail business.

Turkey's economy is gradually recovering from a currency crisis in the summer of 2018 and its GDP is growing moderately year-on-year (at 0.6% according to Anadolu Ajansı's forecast from late February 2020), while the inflation rate was reduced significantly to around 12%. Its economic growth was driven by industry and agriculture. The turning point was contributed to by fiscal stimuli and credit expansion support by the central bank, which, however, can raise concerns about the recurrence of inflation in the future. The depreciation of the Turkish lira, which was driven by worsened perception of risks associated with the country's economic policy and increased political tensions resulting from the course of its international relations as well as the government's pursuit of low interest rates in 2018, slowed down and the Turkish lira weakened by just about 11% over the course of 2019. The exchange rate was 5.9 TRY/USD at December 31, 2019, while the all-year low was about 6.2 TRY/USD (May 9, 2019). These changes in the lira exchange rate negatively affect the performance of Turkish companies that are funded with loans denominated in a foreign currency. However, high debt in foreign currencies is a general problem faced by many companies in Turkey, impeding their further investments.

Credit rating agencies unanimously give Turkey speculative-grade ratings (Moody's: B1 with a negative outlook, Standard & Poor's: B+ with a stable outlook).

CEZ Group Operations

Traditional and Renewable Electricity Generation

Generation by the Erzin CCGT power plant amounted to 2,822 GWh, as compared to 3,833 GWh in 2018. The year-on-year decrease was due to lower demand in the market influenced by higher generation at hydroelectric power plants. Akenerji hydroelectric power plants generated 968 GWh of electricity in 2019, which was an increase of 185 GWh year-on-year. The Ayyıldız RES wind farm's generation decreased by 2 GWh year-on-year, totaling 86 GWh for the entire year. Capital expenditure in 2019 was directed, in particular, to overhauls at the Erzin power plant and hydroelectric power plants.

Electricity Distribution

Electricity is distributed in Turkey by regulated regional distribution companies. One of them is Sakarya Elektrik Dagitim A.S. (SEDAŞ), controlled by ČEZ and its Turkish partner AKKÖK. The amount of electricity distributed to end-use customers in 2019 was 9,524 GWh, decreasing by 202 GWh year-on-year due to declining demand, affected by the economic situation in the country. TRY 92 million was invested in distribution in 2019. The investments were primarily aimed at increasing grid capacity and efficiency.

Electricity Sales

Sakarya Elektrik Perakende Satis A.S. (SEPAŞ), a sales company selling electricity to end-use customers mostly in the SEDAŞ distribution area, sold 10,798 GWh of electricity in 2019. A decrease in comparison with 2018 (13,681 GWh) was due to the economic situation in the country and, most importantly, the collapse of the market of eligible customers, of whom SEPAŞ acquired a high number in 2018. The market recovered only slowly in 2019 and SEPAŞ was not very competitive in it because it focused on cash flow management and requested most of its customers to pay in advance.

Outlook for 2020

Electricity generation at CEZ Group power plants in Turkey is estimated at 4.1 TWh, the amount of distributed electricity is estimated at 10 TWh, and sales to end-use customers are estimated at 9.4 TWh in 2020.

Slovakia

Sales of Commodities and Energy Services

Sales of Electricity and Gas

Electricity and natural gas were supplied to corporate and municipal customers in 2019. Total electricity supplies amounted to 1,375 GWh, which was 575 GWh less than in 2018. The decrease in amount was primarily due to a highly competitive environment and a business policy based on conservative pricing and the standardization of risk-reducing contract terms. Natural gas supplies amounted to 2,577 GWh in 2019, increasing by 17% year-on-year.

ESCO Sales

CEZ Group actively offered Czech companies' energy services in the country in 2019, with a specific profiling of the products offered and customers largely based on experience and synergies from Czechia. It also provided district heating services (Prešov, Nové Zámky, Partizánske) and local distribution system operation services (Kysucké Nové Mesto, Partizánske, Trnava) through its Slovak subsidiaries. It acquired e-Dome, a company providing energy solutions.

Outlook for 2020

The amount of electricity supplied to the segments of large and retail customers in 2020 is estimated at 0.5 TWh and natural gas supplies are estimated at 2.2 TWh. The year-on-year decrease in the amount of supplies is due to the competitive environment in the end-use customer market and the corporate strategy, which ensures profitability in this supply segment. CEZ Group wants to build on an ongoing trend of successfully performed contracts, development, and expansion within its Slovak subsidiaries, primarily energy performance contracting (EPC) projects and projects for the construction and operation of energy facilities. In addition, CEZ Group concentrates on further growth through acquisitions in the field of comprehensive energy solutions.

New Nuclear Power Plant in Preparation at Jaslovské Bohunice

ČEZ Bohunice owns a 49% stake in Jadrová energetická spoločnosť Slovenska, a company established for the purpose of constructing a new nuclear power plant at Bohunice. A project business plan specifying necessary activities in the preparation of the project in the years to come has been discussed and approved. Activities were underway in relation to a change in the Atomic Energy Act and the preparation of a new Building Act. The nuclear energy supervisory authority was communicated with during the preparation of documentation for the siting of a new nuclear power plant according to the Atomic Energy Act. In addition, necessary design activities were undertaken to maintain the value of the project and keep the Final EIA Opinion in force.

ČEZ

An established system of central coordination of research and development at CEZ Group allows carrying out key research and development activities in the optimum form of projects set up across CEZ Group, making purposeful use of Group synergies and available resources. Emphasis is put on fields and topics with high application potential as well as on activities lessening the environmental impacts of CEZ Group's operations. Research and development activities naturally reflect current and anticipated trends in the energy sector.

International Collaborations and Technology Platforms

ČEZ is a member of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) in the nuclear energy segment and selected conventional energy programs (Boiler Life and Availability Improvement, Materials and Repair, Steam Turbines). ČEZ's participation in the EPRI nuclear sector allows utilizing a huge range of information, often unavailable from other sources, from fuel reliability, material corrosion, and safety aspects to new nuclear technologies. There was a transfer of the EPRI's know-how concerning welding procedures for alternative repairs of outlived steam piping in 2019. Testing alternative welding procedures is virtually impossible in ČEZ's operating conditions for reasons of time. Membership of VGB PowerTech focuses on conventional energy and partly on renewables. ČEZ participates in selected research activities within the framework of international cooperation under the auspices of the OECD NEA.

ČEZ is also a member of several European technology platforms. This includes, in particular, participation in the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP), the NUGENIA association (focusing on research and development related to Generation II and III nuclear reactors), or the ESNII industrial initiative focusing on promising concepts of Generation IV nuclear reactors. In Czechia, ČEZ is strongly involved in the "Sustainable Energy for the Czech Republic" technology platform (TPUE), which specializes in the development of an energy research and development environment and intensification of collaboration at international level as well as between industry and the research sector. A ČEZ representative has been the Chairman of the Executive Committee for a long time. ČEZ is also a member of the Czech Membrane Platform, where it receives information about the capabilities of modern membrane processes, such as those for water treatment and flue-gas cleaning.

Nuclear Power

The final stage of implementation has been reached by a multilateral project investigating high burnup of VVER fuel rods (in which five partners participated; irradiation was carried out in a reactor in Halden), which generated important results for safety assessment, including the validation of simulation codes. Well underway is a six-year project testing zirconium alloy nuclear fuel cladding, with irradiated samples this year; mechanical and microstructural analyses were performed. Project results will improve the accuracy of thermomechanical computational models for fuel rods and the description of the behavior of structural parts of fuel. A project is carried out to test nuclear fuel components, analyzing the condition of cladding with high estimated burnup rates and prolonged presence in the reactor core, in abnormal operation, and under simulated accident conditions. Completion was reached by a project focusing on chemical stabilization of water in the Dukovany nuclear power plant's cooling circuits, which proved the feasibility of increasing its operating concentration to ensure full functionality of cooling circuits in periods when there is a lack of raw water and required limits are difficult to comply with.

Nonnuclear Power

A current topic is research into methods and approaches for further reducing pollutants, especially mercury, from coal-fired plants. Mercury occurs in fuel and emissions at very low concentrations and exhibits complex behavior depending on many factors. Therefore, many alternative methods for mercury removal are tested, such as sorption or catalytic oxidation. A pilot unit has been installed for these purposes at the Tušimice power plant. An advanced stage of implementation was reached in the testing of the use of spectrometric sensors for a more efficient control of the combustion process in a boiler to achieve lower emissions. A pilot project is undertaken in a 60 MW boiler at the Mělník site. The project builds on experiments carried out in previous years using camera, laser, ultrasonic, and pyrometric methods. A current topic is research into energy storage—batteries, storage in heat, or storage in hydrogen. Czechia's largest battery storage facility with 4 MW installed capacity and 2.8 MWh storage capacity was put into operation in late 2019; it is installed in a unit with an existing 200 MW turbine generator at the Tušimice power plant. The battery storage will serve both to store energy and to test various modes of providing ancillary services. This project is undertaken in close collaboration with ČEPS. There are also several pilot projects underway for the integration of fast charging stations with storage batteries, aimed at addressing estimated future restrictions for power input at individual sites.

Projects Supported by Public Funds (National and EU)

ČEZ has long participated in projects supported by public funds, especially projects run by the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TACR). ČEZ does not usually receive financial assistance under TACR projects but rather supports them as an industrial partner and ensures the applicability of their outcomes. ČEZ participates in projects under the Theta, Epsilon, and Competence Centers programs.

The eight-year CESEN (Center for Efficient and Reliable Energy) project, coordinated by VZÚ Plzeň, was completed in 2019. The Center covered a broad range of activities with particular focus on conventional power; ČEZ and Doosan Škoda Plzeň were its most important industrial partners. The implementation of the National Center for Energy (NCE) project started at the beginning of the year; the project is supported under the TACR National Competence Centers program. The purpose of National Competence Centers is to establish closer cooperation between research and industry in fields that have been defined as important to national economy and competitiveness. The NCE assembles 24 participants, of which nine are research organizations (including four technical universities). The total amount of funds in the NCE project exceeds CZK 250 million. Additional CEZ Group members participating in the project are ČEZ Distribuce and, on the part of research organizations, Centrum výzkumu Řež and VZÚ Plzeň. Addressed topics with ČEZ's participation include, for example, research on and testing of new diagnostic methods, development of surface treatments for conventional and nuclear plant components, preparation of composite binders for nuclear power applications, as well as matters concerning the development of remote distance measurement for wind power applications, energy storage in heat, hydrogen generation and usage, or analysis of the feasibility of using Li-ion vehicle batteries for stationary purposes. ČEZ also participates in the McSAFE project under the EU's Horizon 2020 framework program, which aims to develop more accurate numerical models for a reactor core, which will result in better utilization of nuclear fuel and safer operation.

Centrum výzkumu Řež (Řež Research Center)

The Řež Research Center is a research organization focusing on research, development, and innovation in the energy sector, in particular nuclear energy. The backbone of the company's research infrastructure consists of two research nuclear reactors (LVR-15 and LR-0) and a set of laboratories and experimental facilities (nondestructive testing laboratories; material, chemical, and microstructural laboratories; nuclear fusion research facilities; nuclear fuel cycle laboratories; and experimental technology loops).

SUSEN Project

Successful execution of the large SUSEN (Sustainable Energy) capital investment project considerably expanded the Řež Research Center's research infrastructure; the project was supported under the Research and Development for Innovation operational program and partially under the follow-up Research, Development, and Education program. The SUSEN project allowed the Řež Research Center to build a comprehensive set of research and development infrastructures for nuclear and nonnuclear power and related fields, such as research into energy storage or hydrogen technology. Some of the infrastructures are unique at European level and some even globally, which allows the Řež Research Center to successfully participate in cutting-edge research projects under strong consortia of European research organizations or tender for interesting research and development contracts from the world's leading firms. More milestones for the SUSEN project's sustainability were reached and the conditions for fulfilling all sustainability parameters were created in 2019.

International Collaborations

The Řež Research Center is a member of a number of international organizations such as the European Energy Research Alliance (EERA), European Nuclear Education Network Association (ENEN), European Technical Safety Organisation Network (ETSON), and NUGENIA. It successfully participates in projects of many international teams and consortia supported under the EU's Horizon 2020 framework program. In 2019, 12 projects were dealt with under the Horizon 2020 program. They primarily focused on the properties and degradation of materials for Generation IV reactors, modern thermodynamic circuits (with supercritical CO2 ), research into severe accidents (core melt behavior and properties), and research on the behavior of construction and building materials to ensure a long-term useful life of power plants (aging of concrete, etc.).

Collaboration under intergovernmental agreements between Czechia and the U.S. continued in the form of research and development work in the field of small modular reactors. The Řež Research Center continued with the preparation of its own concept design for a small modular reactor (Energy Well) based on high-temperature fluoride salts, supported primarily by funds from TACR programs. Collaboration with Japanese industrial partners involved commercial research projects studying melt behavior and the physical properties of corium (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) and radiation aging of concrete and aggregates (a consortium of Japanese companies and institutes—Kajima, Mitsubishi Research Institute, Nagoya University). In the field of fusion research, research work continued under the EUROfusion transnational project and, in collaboration with Fusion for Energy, tests were completed for the commissioning of HELCZA, a facility designed primarily for the testing of first wall panels for the ITER thermonuclear reactor.

National Projects

Ongoing projects supported by the TACR and the Czech Science Foundation in 2019 included research and development projects for deep geological storage of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel and research into materials for Generation IV reactors; several new projects were successfully applied for, aimed primarily at the development and testing of promising materials for the energy sector. The Řež Research Center is in charge of the Plant Efficiency, Reliability, and Safety section under the new National Energy Center project.

ČEZ Distribuce

ČEZ Distribuce was actively engaged in the execution of applied research, experimental development, and innovation programs, including programs organized by the TACR. The ES4G project (Theta program, TACR) aims to develop and test methods that will be capable of optimizing energy flows in order to improve energy performance in the operation of a grid with a maximum share of renewables and to improve energy security in a given agglomeration. ČEZ Distribuce's participation in the National Center for Energy project focuses on new energy network elements and technologies and research into secure communications technologies for smart communications networks in the energy sector. Extensive measurements took place in selected locations in 2019 in order to verify the availability of LPWAN (low-power wide-area network) technologies. Activities under the INTERFLEX project (part of the Horizon 2020 framework program) included implementation work on the installation of charging points and testing of inverters at photovoltaic facilities with and without storage. The aim was to test the effect of rapid charging of electric vehicles on possible deterioration in some electricity quality parameters and to tackle voltage stabilization issues in medium- and low-voltage distribution grids with a high proportion of renewables and dispersed generation. The activities also included testing broadband over power lines (BPL) Internet communications in medium- and low-voltage cable systems.

ČEZ Energetické produkty

The company participates in and keeps implementing projects supported by national public funds (TACR, Ministry of Industry and Trade). The projects focus on the use of coal combustion products, maximizing the efficiency of such use and seeking new opportunities for using such products. All research is conducted with a view to making the whole energy industry more environmentally friendly and economical. There are four projects in total. Under a project for the optimization of manufacturing processes for construction materials using a high content of fly ash, work continued on adjustments in the manufacture of clinker-free binder based on calcium sulfate fly ash. Road panels made from the binder were used to build a test service road section at the site of the Prunéřov power plant. Under a project for the extension of cement-concrete pavement using mineral additives and mixed cements, samples of concrete with the addition of high-temperature fly ashes were manufactured and tested for suitability for use in the construction of waterworks. A project focusing on the use of zeolites and zeolite composites to reduce emissions rated coal combustion products to check their suitability for subsequent manufacture of synthetic zeolites. Under a fourth project to evaluate options for reusing landfilled fly ash from coal-fired power plants, field research using deep core holes was conducted at the Počerady power plant site. Another study conducted under the project aimed to design and test technology for the magnetic separation of excavated material.

ČEZ Solární (ČEZ ESCO Group)

Together with ČEZ Distribuce and international partners, the company successfully completed a part of the European INTERFLEX demonstration project (part of Horizon 2020) in 2019.

ENESA (ČEZ ESCO Group)

In previous years, ENESA developed its own smart add-on for building technology control systems for the purposes of energy management for EPC (energy performance contracting) projects under the brand name of OPERETA. The system can use weather forecasts, data from a room occupancy information system, and specified engineering properties of the building envelop to automatically calculate and set heating or cooling curves for individual rooms, including a schedule factoring in necessary ramp-up times. Today, the system ensures comfort and provides considerable savings, for example, at the National Theater and the Prague Congress Center. Work on the development of a unified Design and Build methodology for construction project procurement, which ENESA is also taking an active part in, advanced to a new stage. Step by step, model procedures and model contractual clauses are being prepared and an information web portal is being created, intended primarily for building customers that want to build economically and with respect to building life cycle cost savings. Activities under the European QUANTUM project (Horizon 2020) were completed in 2019; the project aims to apply quality management to the entire life cycle of buildings in order to reduce CO2 emissions and improve the indoor environment.

Innovation Projects

Electric Mobility in Czechia

Charging Stations

As concerns the construction and operation of a public charging network, CEZ Group continued expanding its network of public fast charging stations in line with its strategy to become a leader in public charging. As at December 31, 2019, it operated a total of 188 charging stations in Czechia, comprising 129 fast charging (DC) stations and 59 standard charging (AC) stations. Together they supplied 1,964 MWh of electricity to electric vehicle batteries in 2019. In total, EVs stopped by chargers 153,612 times to recharge. An ultrafast charging station was installed as part of a pilot project in one location; when electricity storage is added to the site, it will provide charging power of 175 kW. The development continues to receive significant aid under two projects funded by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), a program aimed at supporting the construction of fast charging station near major TEN-T (Trans-European Transport Network) roads. One of the projects (EV Fast Charging Backbone Network Central Europe), under which 42 fast charging stations were built and one site was fitted with three fast charging stations, a photovoltaic system, and battery electricity storage, was completed on schedule and a final report will be drawn up and submitted to the European Commission in 2020. The other project is currently underway. ČEZ successfully applied for subsidies for two projects under the Transportation II operational program. One was submitted under the second call of a program for a backbone network of DC fast charging stations, during which 125 stations should be built throughout Czechia; the other was submitted under a call for a complementary network of AC charging stations, allowing the construction of another 127 standard charging stations. The total amount of subsidies for the projects can be over CZK 100 million, which is approximately 60%–70% of the value of the projects. ČEZ has already applied for the payment of the subsidies for both projects and begun executing the projects; 8 fast charging stations supported by the above-mentioned program were already in operation at the end of 2019.

Two public charging stations put into operation in the parking lot of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant in December 2019 are unique in respect of the origin of electricity for recharging, which is solely nuclear.

ČEZ continues to support the operation of two electric buses in the locality between the BB Center where its corporate headquarters are located and the Budějovická metro station in Prague. During their three years in operation, the two electric buses have covered over 150,000km and transported more than two million passengers. ČEZ also continues to support the operation of electric buses under the Vrchlabí Smart Region project.

In November 2019, ČEZ announced changes in payments for public charging taking effect from March 2020, associated with the implementation of a new supervisory IT system, which will be operated using the platform made by Israeli company Driivz.

Offer for Households and Sole Proprietors

ČEZ Prodej began selling electric mobility as a comprehensive service in 2019. Together with a purchased vehicle, it offers a wall box, a check of sufficient electrical installation robustness for home charging, and a chip for charging at public stations. It also provides advantageous credit to fund the purchase of an electric car. ČEZ Prodej offers three brands of vehicles and a range of household charging appliances and charging cables. It intends to expand its offer over time to include additional innovative services for electric mobility.

Offer for Large Customers

ČEZ ESCO continued offering a comprehensive range of electric mobility products. In addition to consultancy on subsidies, funding, and individual technologies, the offer included, most importantly, linking a charging solution to the overall energy situation in the locality or building in question. This gives more and more prominence to linkage between electric mobility and other ESCO activities, especially measurement and control systems but also photovoltaic systems and newly, in particular, battery storage.

At the same time, offers of electric vehicles were partially cut down as CEZ Group prefers to offer electric vehicles in combination with other products as part of a broader electric mobility solution.

Electric Mobility in Romania

CEZ Romania owned two electric vehicles and operated two charging stations—one in Pitești and one in Craiova—in 2019. CEZ Group customers can use them to recharge their electric vehicles for free. In contradiction to the original intent, a new charging station prototype allowing SMS payments, developed in 2017, was not installed outside the ČEZ distribution area for legal reasons. A new charging station with free usage was put into operation on a ČEZ site at the Fântânele and Cogealac wind farms.

The further course of electric mobility in Romania will be determined according to electric mobility development in Romania.

CEZ Group Donorship

The donorship area forms a part of CEZ Group's Sustainable Development Strategy—Energy for the Future and forms an integral part of all CEZ Group activities. Through corporate donorship and sponsorship, it has long been supporting projects in its area, for example in the field of education, culture, sports, environmental protection, and community life.

Donorship

CEZ Group together with the ČEZ Foundation belong among the largest corporate donors in Czechia.

CEZ Group companies also provide an extra wide range of perquisites such as personal accounts intended primarily for recreation and leisure-time activities; health care, including preventive health programs (Health Days); contributions to supplemental pension plans, life insurance, and employee meal plans; special bonuses for jubilees and on retirement; and nonrecurrent social assistance provided in case of emergency. Employees can take two sick days with salary compensation at 65% of their average pay in 2020. Care for preschool children is provided in kindergartens in selected localities. Last but not least, CEZ Group companies take care of their retired employees (CEZ GROUP SENIORS Endowment Fund, Pensioners' Clubs). The fundamental principles of CEZ Group's remuneration and welfare policy in Czechia apply to acquisitions abroad as well.

Relations with Labor Unions

There were a total of 27 local labor organizations operating at ČEZ in 2019, organizing more than 1,400 employees. Selected major subsidiaries of CEZ Group in Czechia had 42 local labor organizations, organizing more than 3,000 of their employees. Of those 42 labor organizations, 31 collaborated under four regional associations. The above-mentioned labor organizations are members of the ECHO Labor Union, the Czech Union of Power Industry Employees (CUPIE), the KOVO Trade Union, and the Energy and Mining Industry Labor Union (EMILU). ČEZ is a member of the Czech Association of Energy Sector Employers, which negotiates a higher-level collective agreement with CUPIE and ECHO. Amendment No. 3 to a master collective agreement for the period of 2017–2020 was made in 2019, extending the master agreement until 2023.

Regular meetings were held between the employer and labor union representatives in 2019 in order to provide information to labor unions and to discuss organizational changes and other topics specified by the Labor Code and the collective agreement. Collective agreements at ČEZ and selected significant subsidiaries are made for until the end of 2022. Collective bargaining in 2019 concerned amendments to all collective agreements in force, dealing primarily with wages, salaries, and benefits. The collective bargaining culminated in the signing of Amendment No. 19 to the collective agreement at ČEZ, a. s., and the signing of amendments to collective agreements at selected major subsidiaries.

Sixteen labor unions operated within the Severočeské doly group. Severočeské doly and its subsidiaries PRODECO, Revitrans, and SD - Kolejová doprava have collective agreements effective until December 31, 2020.

The union membership rate in Poland is greater than 50%. The collective agreement for CEZ Chorzów is in force until the end of 2022 and the collective agreement for employees at CEZ Skawina is in force until 2021.

The union membership rate in Bulgaria exceeds 60%. CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria, CEZ Bulgaria, and CEZ Elektro Bulgaria have collective agreements effective until December 31, 2021.

A European Works Council has been operating within CEZ Group since 2007 and was joined by an employee representative from Slovakia in 2019. At the end of 2019, the European Works Council consisted of 27 employee representatives from Czechia, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Germany, and Slovakia. Two meetings that took place in 2019 dealt with the topics related in particular to CEZ Group's strategy, the Group's financial results, and the activities of CEZ Group on foreign markets.

New Energy Sector in Czechia

CEZ Group wants to take advantage of conditions arising from the energy and climate plan and cover all areas associated with the development of renewable energy sources in Czechia. The use of renewable resources in Czechia is limited to some extent by its natural conditions; however, CEZ Group allows its customers to take advantage of their potential by installing roof-top photovoltaic systems.

Environmental Protection

Climate Protection

CEZ Group is aware of risks associated with climate change and supports efforts to reduce the environmental impacts of electricity generation at coal-fired power plants. It spent more than CZK 100 billion on power plant desulfurization, denitrification, and efficiency enhancement and shut down 1,965 MW of installed capacity as long ago as in the 1990s. In 2015, it made a commitment to generate electricity without CO2 emissions no later than by 2050 in accordance with the conclusions of the Paris climate conference. More than 55% of electricity generated by CEZ Group in 2019 originated from zero-emission sources. As further steps to achieving its target, the less efficient coal-fired power plants that have not undergone comprehensive renovation will be phased out. A number of power plants also achieve greater efficiency by generating and supplying heat for heating purposes alongside electricity. By 2025, the installed capacity of coal-fired power plants will decrease by nearly 50% and coal extraction will decrease by approximately 1–2 million tons as compared to 2018. CEZ Group has an ambition to become a major player in renewables. It currently operates 742 MW of wind turbines and 130 MW of photovoltaic installations. It also has 212 MW of wind turbines in the development stage and 13.6 MW under construction in France, 305.5 MW in the development stage in Germany, and 39.2 MW ready for construction in Poland. CEZ Group's updated strategy assumes that it will play a major role in the development of renewables in Czechia. CEZ Group also focuses its activities on reducing energy consumption and offers its customers comprehensive solutions for achieving savings in the operation of their buildings.

There was a year-on-year decrease in both the absolute amount of released CO2 and the emission intensity of electricity generation, which reduced from 0.39 to 0.36 t CO2 /MWh, that is, by almost 6.7%.

Greenhouse Gas Emission Allowances

Czechia

Czechia, along with eight other member states of the European Union, is exempted from the obligation to allocate greenhouse gas emission allowances for electricity generation solely at auctions from 2013 on. Allowances for heat generation in Czechia in 2019 were allocated in February 2019. Under the derogation, CEZ Group was allocated 69.6 million tons of emission allowances for electricity generation in Czechia in 2013–2020 in exchange for investments in greenhouse gas emission reduction. The investments must be greater than the value of the free emission allowances allocated under the derogations, calculated from their market prices in the previous year. Based on funds invested in clean, environmentally friendly technologies in the previous year, the conditions for the allocation of emission allowances worth approximately CZK 0.919 billion to CEZ Group plants were fulfilled in 2019. Due to an administrative delay, the allowances are expected to be allocated in H1 2020.

Poland

Poland is also one of the member states of the European Union allowed to temporarily allocate a portion of emission allowances for electricity generation for free in 2013–2019, retroactively against investments made and approved under the National Investment Plan, which should result in the modernization and gradual decarbonization of electricity generation. Allowances for heat generation at the Skawina and Chorzów power plants were allocated in February 2019; the total allocation was 109,541 emission allowances. Only the Skawina plant is eligible to be allocated emission allowances for electricity generation. Emission allowances are allocated according to a plant's emission entitlement in the current year resulting from investments made in the previous year.

Air Protection

Czechia

The generation of electricity and heat from fossil sources, and the extraction of such fossil sources, are associated with emissions of pollutants to the air. Dust particles are emitted during brown coal extraction. The combustion of fossil fuels results, in particular, in emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Reducing the emissions of such substances is CEZ Group's priority; emission reduction equipment is installed at combustion facilities operated by CEZ Group and its efficiency is continually improved as best available techniques develop.

To reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide, most facilities use a highly efficient flue-gas desulfurization method based on wet limestone scrubbing; smaller facilities use a semi-dry method in which pollutants from flue gases are absorbed on lime suspension particles and particles of the resulting product are then dried by the heat in the flue gases.

Sulfur oxides from fluidized bed boilers are captured directly in the combustion chamber by dosing limestone to the furnace. Sulfur dioxide emissions are also reduced by replacing fossil fuels with biomass combustion in some combustion units, especially fluidized bed boilers. Particulate matter is captured by electrostatic precipitators or bag filters with separation efficiency exceeding 99%. Nitrogen oxides emissions are reduced either directly by primary measures in the combustion process, or by means of reduction techniques using ammonia water or urea.

A newly monitored pollutant emitted to the air is mercury. Much attention is paid to the development of techniques for capturing this pollutant at CEZ Group facilities; technology installation will start at generating facilities in 2020 and appropriate measures will be taken over time at all brown coal-fired facilities in Czechia until 2024.

Reduction in the emissions of sulfur dioxide was greatly helped by the completion of a new desulfurization system at the Mělník I power plant in 2019. Further emission reduction resulted from the commissioning of a new gas-fired boiler plant at Vítkovice, which replaced three coal-fired units. A newly completed gas-fired boiler house at the Trmice heating plant will allow making environmental upgrades to the heating plant's coal-fired units without heat supply restrictions. Environmental upgrades to gas-fired boiler plants operated by ČEZ Teplárenská, a.s., continued in 2019, replacing existing boiler plants with new ones featuring lower NOX emission parameters. Emission limits were met at all CEZ Group coal-fired power plants, ČEZ's cumulative emission ceiling was not exceeded, and all other technical conditions for operation relating to air protection, as imposed on the facilities in the operating licenses granted by competent administrative authorities, were fulfilled in 2019. Emissions from coal-fired power plants are subject to continual monitoring of air quality near coal-fired power plants and coal mines. Pollution measurement data is included in the ISKO database run at national level by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute.

CEZ Group monitors the impact of coal-fired power plant and heating plant operations on air pollution on a long-term and systematic basis using its own air pollution measurement network. Monitoring was carried out in 2019 at ten pollution monitoring stations located near coal-fired power plants and heating plants, which measure gaseous pollutants (SO2 , NOX) and, most importantly, particulate matter of different sizes (PM10 and PM2.5). The public is kept informed about the results of pollution monitoring by means of a website. Monitoring stations are located in municipalities affected by mine operations, providing continuous measurement of dust pollution, especially suspended PM10 particles, with remote data transmission, operated by an independent accredited laboratory. The results of the measurement are provided to the affected municipalities and governmental agencies in the form of data reports at regular monthly intervals. Coal storage sites are closely monitored to prevent and eliminate spontaneous heating (mixing of coal dust with water vapor can lead to self-combustion).

Poland

The Skawina and Chorzów power plants did not exceed the pollutant emission limits specified in their licenses in 2019. A DeNOx project, which will greatly help reduce NOX emissions, was successfully completed at the Skawina power plant.

Water Protection

Czechia

CEZ Group's generating facilities could not operate without water. Surface water is used for various purposes at CEZ Group's power plants and heating plants, mostly to cool steam after its passage through a turbine in order to increase electricity generation efficiency. Used water is recycled at generating facilities depending on its quality so as to minimize the amount of surface water withdrawn. Groundwater is only used to a minimum extent at CEZ Group. It is mostly for the production of drinking water; a negligible amount is used for other purposes.

Water protection is ensured through compliance with operating regulations and regular checks of preventive measures aimed at preventing releases of harmful substances to surface water, groundwater, and the rock environment. A facility's impact on water is assessed through regular monitoring of discharged wastewater and groundwater monitoring, which allow identifying any undesirable condition in a timely manner.

Reduced flow rates in water streams in 2019, due to a lack of precipitation, resulted in limited generation by the Hodonín heating plant, where one generating unit was shut down for approximately six weeks in the summer because of a lack of cooling water. Several tens of liters of turbine oil spilled to the Elbe at the Mělník 3 power plant in August 2019 as a result of two concurrent breakdowns in the cooling circuit. As soon as the accident was reported, a sorption boom was installed at the discharge hole through which the turbine oil leaked to the river to capture residual pollution. According to available information, no fish or other animals perished during the accident.

Severočeské doly commenced the construction of a mine water pretreatment plant in 2019; after it is completed in 2020, the plant will ensure greater reliability in the quality of discharged mine water even with extreme rainfall.

Fauna Protection and Support

Czechia

CEZ Group has been addressing avian electrocution protection since the 1990s. Its objective is to prevent birds from being injured or killed by perching on power lines. Protection devices are usually installed on the support structures of medium-voltage power lines. Most often, they are plastic sheaths that are pulled over insulators. Another method for protecting birds on power lines is using protective crossarms that prevent birds from perching on the line and getting their live parts in contact with a grounded tower structure. CEZ Group took another step in avian electrocution protection. Another 19,593 support structures (towers) for medium-voltage power lines became safe for birds in 2019, increasing the share of safe support structures owned by ČEZ Distribuce to 60%. Almost CZK 210 million was expended on the aforementioned measures in 2006–2019.

Storks' nests are removed from support structures for distribution system lines and transferred to safer places in collaboration with the Czech Society for Ornithology. The support structure is then fitted with a protection device preventing storks from perching on it again.

CEZ Group places permanent emphasis on environmental care and protection in the vicinity of its sites. For example, trees were planted in the safeguard zone of the Heraltice water source near the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant as a demonstration project to demonstrate new approaches to the remediation of areas cleared by calamities based on a recommendation prepared jointly by experts from the Forestry and Game Management Research Institute, Mendel University in Brno, and the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague.

There were continued activities to support the nesting of the peregrine falcon at the sites of most coal-fired power plants and heating plants as well as at nuclear power plants. Facilities owned by ČEZ were found to host seven pairs of peregrine falcons and one solitary individual (female). The record-making seven pairs were successful and reared at least 19 young in 2019. Three facilities remained unoccupied. Since the first falcon nest box in Czechia was installed at a cooling tower walkway at the Tušimice power plant in 2011, 84 young falcons were reared on tall power plant structures, stacks, or cooling towers. Nesting conditions also continued to be created for sand martins, which are found at the disposal sites of some coal-fired power plants. A population of the critically endangered Hipparchia butterfly was found at a reclaimed waste pond of the Tušimice power plant in previous years. To maintain suitable conditions for preserving the species population, sheep and goat grazing continued at the site, arranged in cooperation with the regional authority and a private farmer and started as an experiment in 2016, which, according to an entomologist, positively contributes to the protection of the butterfly population.

The functionality of mounds for lizard breeding was monitored at the site of the Bílina Mine. Just like in 2018, the mounds were proven to be functional especially for insects and smaller vertebrates. Repeated checks were also carried out on small ponds that were built for amphibian breeding in areas of conservation measures in order to increase their biodiversity. Nine new small ponds for amphibian breeding and two insect habitats were built. To conserve populations of protected Phengaris butterfly species, meadows were purposefully mowed in order to create a permanently suitable environment for these species. Two major operations were carried out due to prolonged drought—removal and relocation of amphibians from five concentration ponds to a large waterlogged retention reservoir near Mariánské Radčice and rescue and transfer of amphibians from relocation ponds. The presence of critically endangered Hipparchia butterflies was confirmed in restored areas at the Radovesice waste dump, on the basis of which changes were made to the schedule of restoration work and an entomologist prepared a methodology for the maintenance of the areas.

Five new ponds for amphibian breeding, 22 new stone mounds with a decaying core for reptile breeding, and six insect habitats were successfully built at the site of the Nástup Tušimice Mines in 2019. Ornithologists repeatedly confirmed the permanent presence of valuable bird species at the site, such as the tawny pipit, the northern wheatear, or the ortolan bunting.

It can be stated that the Bílina Mine and the Nástup Tušimice Mines continually comply with the conditions for further mining activities imposed on them in order to maintain and develop biodiversity. In 2020, much continued attention will be paid to earthworks with respect to protecting birds nesting on the ground.

Germany

Wind parks comply with stringent requirements for the protection of birds and bats, as documented by environmental impact assessment (EIA). In the first years of operation, monitoring of the actual impact on birds and bats is carried out, and any negative impact will be eliminated by adjusting the operating modes.

Romania

Distribution line poles were fitted with 99 stork nests. Insulators were installed on low- and medium-voltage lines.

Bulgaria

Adjustments were made to five positioned stork nests as required by authorities in order to make them safer both for the birds and for the power grid. In addition, the installation of insulators in power lines continued.

Noise Protection

Czechia

Noise sources are not only power plants and heating plants but also open-pit mines, especially the operation of turbine-generator units, cooling systems, long-distance belt conveyors, and large-scale mining machinery. CEZ Group facilities meet health limits for noise in compliance with the law and the conditions in relevant licenses. An exemption from noise limits was granted for the operation of the Vítkovice and Poříčí heating plants and the Mělník power plant based on an assessment concluding that noise had been reduced to an acceptable level and did not pose a risk to human health.

Germany

Monitoring at wind parks confirmed compliance with noise limits.

Poland

The Skawina and Chorzów power plants met the required noise limits. Noise from the Chorzów power plant is just below the permitted limit in the nighttime, as confirmed by another measurement in 2019, so fuel is not transported into the boiler area of the power plant at night.

Romania

Noise generated by wind farms is monitored regularly. No violation of noise limits was found.

Bulgaria

CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria performed 12 noise measurements in collaboration with the local sanitation authority in Sofia. Once noise reduction measures were taken, subsequent measurements confirmed compliance with the standards. An official protocol documenting the observance of the noise limits was issued.

Environmental Effects Concerning the Use of Assets

In the context of legislation and targets advanced by both Czechia and the European Union, declared to fight climate change, it cannot be completely excluded that the business use of some assets or groups of assets will be more difficult in the future. CEZ Group has identified the following potential sources of restrictions:

  • Increasingly ambitious climate targets—The European Commission published the European Green Deal in 2019, which, among other things, increases the target for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The stepped-up decarbonization effort will act as a long-term growth stimulus for the price of CO2 allowances. This puts especially older, less efficient coal-fired power plants and heating plants under huge economic pressure.
  • Establishment of the Coal Commission—This advisory body to the Czech government, created on the pattern of Germany, will assess future need for brown coal in Czechia and options for departure from its use in combustion facilities as early as in September 2020.
  • Stricter emission limits—BAT Conclusions entering into force in August 2021 will not only include stricter limits for a number of previously monitored substances (NOX, SOX, particulate matter) but also introduce new, very strict limits for mercury. ČEZ keeps making environmental upgrades to its power plants to prepare them for new limits as much as possible. Meeting the tightened limits will require capital expenditure of billions of CZK and will also result in increased variable expenses for coal-fired plants.

    1. Minority shareholders carry on a lawsuit against ČEZ, a. s., and Severočeské doly a.s., based on an action filed in 2006, seeking declaratory judgment on the adequacy of consideration in compulsory sale of corporate securities. Should the plaintiffs win, the total additional payment could be in the order of hundreds of millions of CZK. The case is heard at first instance. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. Ultra Plus Holding Limited carried on a lawsuit against ČEZ, a. s., based on an action filed in August 2010, seeking the payment of an amount in excess of CZK 196 million plus interest and costs on grounds of alleged abuse of a dominant position in determining the purchase price of brown coal (lignite) deliveries and the amount of the maximum discount for faulty performance. The court of first instance dismissed the action. The proceeding in the plaintiff's appeal before a court of second instance was finally dismissed at the end of 2019. The case is closed with final effect.
    1. ČEZ, a. s., carries on a lawsuit against the Appellate Financial Directorate based on an administrative action brought against the decision of the Specialized Tax Office imposing a fine of CZK 150 million for violating the Prices Act in the payment of the price of brown thermal coal supplied by Sokolovská uhelná, právní nástupce, a.s., in 2010, 2012, and 2013. The administrative court admitted the action. The case is heard by the Supreme Administrative Court based on a cassation appeal filed by the Appellate Financial Directorate (however, the Appellate Financial Directorate rescinded the fine imposing decision based on the legal opinion of the court of first instance). The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. Lesy České republiky, s.p., carries on 29 lawsuits against ČEZ, a. s., and some of its subsidiaries based on actions filed since 1997. The issue in dispute is a claim for compensation for loss caused by the operations of ČEZ, a. s., and its subsidiaries in forest stands in 1997 and 1999–2015. The total amount of damages claimed is CZK 281 million plus interest and costs. The outcome of the proceedings is impossible to predict.
    1. In an insolvency proceeding against PLP a.s., Teplárna Trmice, a.s., the legal predecessor of ČEZ Teplárenská, a.s., submitted claims totaling CZK 220 million. The enterprise of the debtor, PLP a.s., was realized for USD 10 million and the proceeds were rendered to the secured creditor in July 2013. The amount of settlement for ČEZ Teplárenská, a.s., in the insolvency proceeding in question is still nil. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ, a. s., carries on a lawsuit against ŠKODA JS a.s., based on an action filed in 2016, seeking payment of a total of CZK 2,759 million plus interest and costs. The issue in dispute is damages for lost profits due to wrongly performed radiographic inspections of welded joints at the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant and the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant. The amount originally claimed was CZK 611 million plus interest and costs back in 2016 but, after negotiations over an out-of-court settlement of the dispute failed, a motion was filed to extend the action to a total of CZK 2,759 million in February 2020. The amount currently claimed includes full damages for lost profits. The case is heard at first instance. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. Eleven tenants of apartments carried on a declaratory judgment suit against CIB RENT PÍSNICE s.r.o., concerning title to properties in the cadastral district of Písnice, based on an action filed in 2017. ČEZ, a. s., is an intervenor in the proceeding on grounds of its past title to the properties. The plaintiffs claimed that the owner of the properties was the Czech Republic. The court of first instance dismissed the action. The appellate court upheld the judgment of the court of first instance; in respect of the costs of proceedings, the appellate court returned the case to the court of first instance. The court of first instance gave a new ruling on the cost of proceedings and the amount of awarded costs of proceedings was changed by the appellate court on the basis of filed appeals. The case is closed with final effect.
    1. ČEZ, a. s., carried on two lawsuits against the Appellate Financial Directorate based on administrative actions filed against decisions of the Appellate Financial Directorate concerning interest on tax authority misconduct in relation to a refunded overpayment of gift tax on emission allowances for 2011 and 2012. The administrative court rescinded the disputed decision of the Appellate Financial Directorate. The Appellate Financial Directorate filed cassation appeals against the administrative court's rulings with the Supreme Administrative Court. During the cassation appeal proceedings, the Appellate Financial Directorate issued decisions in August 2018 awarding ČEZ, a. s., interest on tax authority misconduct in 2011 and 2012 but only for the periods after additional payment assessments; the cassation appeal proceedings are concluded. ČEZ, a. s., filed two analogous actions as the successor of Teplárna Trmice, a.s. Those actions were admitted in December 2019 and the matter was returned to the Appellate Financial Directorate for a new decision.
    1. ČEZ, a. s., carries on two lawsuits against the Appellate Financial Directorate based on administrative actions filed against the Appellate Financial Directorate's decisions by which the Appellate Financial Directorate awarded ČEZ, a. s., interest on tax authority misconduct in 2011 and 2012 but only for the periods after additional payment assessments. ČEZ, a. s., believes that there was an error in law in the assessment of the periods for which ČEZ, a. s., is entitled to claim interest on tax authority misconduct. The proceedings are pending before an administrative court. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.

ČEZ Distribuce, a. s.

  1. SPR a.s., carries on a lawsuit against ČEZ Distribuce, a. s., based on an action filed in May 2013, seeking payment of CZK 213 million plus interest and costs.

ČEZ Prodej, a.s.

  1. ČEZ Prodej, a.s., carries on a lawsuit against Správa železnic, a state organization whose name was Správa železniční dopravní cesty, státní organizace ("SŽDC"), until January 1, 2020, based on an action brought in 2010, seeking damages in the amount of CZK 805 million plus interest and costs. The matter in dispute is an alleged breach of an electricity supply contract by SŽDC, consisting in failure to take deliveries of an agreed amount of electricity in 2010, and the resulting loss. Following an application for leave to appeal filed by SŽDC, the Czech Supreme Court overturned the rulings of the courts of first and second instance and returned the case to the court of first instance. The court of first instance dismissed the action. The appellate court upheld the ruling of the court of first instance in May 2019. ČEZ Prodej, a.s., withdrew the action before it was delivered the judgment of the court of second instance. The judgment of the court of second instance was received in August 2019, whereby the judgment of the court of first instance was upheld and the withdrawal was declared void. The judgments of the courts of both instances are final. ČEZ Prodej, a.s., filed an application for leave to appeal and a constitutional complaint, which have not yet been decided on. SŽDC, which had paid the amount claimed, subsequently brought an action against ČEZ Prodej, a.s., seeking recovery of unjust enrichment amounting to the paid sum of CZK 1,116 million plus interest and costs, which the court of first instance admitted. The appellate court upheld the judgment of the court of first instance. The case has been closed with final effect since October 2019, when the judgment of the appellate court was delivered. ČEZ Prodej, a.s., filed an application for leave to appeal in the case and paid SŽDC the amount claimed plus interest and costs. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.

    1. ČEZ Prodej, a.s., carries on a lawsuit against SŽDC based on an action brought in 2013, seeking damages in the amount of CZK 857 million plus interest and costs. The matter in dispute is an alleged breach of an electricity supply contract by SŽDC, consisting in failure to take deliveries of an agreed amount of electricity in 2011, and the resulting loss. After the decision of the court of first instance was overturned by the appellate court, the case is reheard by the court of first instance and is currently stayed until the application for leave to appeal in the case referred to in the previous section is decided on. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ Prodej, a.s., carries on a lawsuit against OTE, a.s., seeking substitution of a decision by the Energy Regulatory Office and a decision by the Chairwoman of the Energy Regulatory Office concerning the payment of an amount in excess of CZK 124 million as the outstanding difference in purchase prices paid to solar electricity producers, which were paid by OTE, a.s., to ČEZ Prodej, a.s., as the mandatory purchaser on the basis of an action brought in 2016. The court of first instance dismissed the action. The appellate court upheld the ruling of the court of first instance. The case is heard by the Czech Supreme Court. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ Prodej, a.s., carries on a lawsuit against ACTHERM, spol. s r.o. (a distribution system operator), seeking damages in excess of CZK 185 million plus interest and costs based on an action brought in 2016 (CZK 124 million) and its extension in 2017 concerning loss incurred in the subsequent period (CZK 61 million). The matter in dispute is loss caused by the actions of ACTHERM, spol. s r.o., during the registration of three solar electricity producers in the market operator's system and the delivery of information on the registration to ČEZ Prodej, a.s. The case is heard at first instance; the proceeding has been resumed after a stay. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ Prodej, a.s., carries on three lawsuits with solar electricity producers based on actions filed in March 2017, seeking recovery of unjust enrichment of nearly CZK 160 million. The unjust enrichment consists in the collection of higher purchase prices than those reimbursed to ČEZ Prodej, a.s., by OTE, a.s. The court of first instance discontinued the proceedings in two cases and referred the cases to the Energy Regulatory Office for further proceedings. The action in the third case was dismissed and the case is heard at second instance. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.
    1. OTE, a.s., carries on a lawsuit against ČEZ Prodej, a.s., based on an action brought in 2018, seeking payment of approximately CZK 104.4 million plus interest and costs. The legal ground for the amount sought is recovery of the difference between the purchase price and the hourly price paid by OTE, a.s., to ČEZ Prodej, a.s., as a mandatory purchaser from a solar electricity producer in the period from January 1, 2013, to April 30, 2018. The court of first instance discontinued the proceeding and referred the case to the Energy Regulatory Office. The proceeding between the parties is now conducted by the Energy Regulatory Office. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
  2. OTE, a.s., carries on two administrative proceedings before the Energy Regulatory Office against ČEZ Prodej, a.s., based on petitions filed in July 2019, seeking recovery of unjust enrichment totaling approximately CZK 327 million. The legal ground for the amount claimed is recovery of the difference between the purchase price and the hourly price paid by OTE, a.s., to ČEZ Prodej, a.s., as a mandatory purchaser in the period from January 1, 2013, to May 31, 2018. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.

ŠKODA PRAHA a.s., Successor to ŠKODA PRAHA Invest s.r.o. since January 1, 2019

    1. ŠKODA PRAHA a.s. submitted claims in insolvency proceedings against
    2. a) Chladicí věže Praha, a. s., namely conditional and unconditional claims relating to the execution of an 880 MWe CCGT Unit project at the Počerady power plant totaling CZK 451 million, based on a filing in 2015. The submitted claims were denied by the receiver to the full amount. Therefore, ŠKODA PRAHA a.s., carries on a lawsuit against the receiver based on an action brought in 2016, seeking the determination of the authenticity and amounts of the denied claims. The case is heard at first instance. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    3. b) VÍTKOVICE POWER ENGINEERING a.s., namely conditional and unconditional claims relating to the execution of a project for the construction of a new 660 MWe unit at the Ledvice power plant and comprehensive renovation of the Prunéřov II power plant totaling approximately CZK 9 billion (unconditional claims amounted to approximately CZK 126 million, conditional claims approximately CZK 8.8 billion), based on a filing in 2016. All of the claims were denied by the receiver or the debtor or both. Therefore, ŠKODA PRAHA a.s., carries on lawsuits concerning the denied claims to determine the authenticity and amounts of the denied claims. In view of procedural changes resulting in the unconditional claims relating to the execution of a project for the construction of a new 660 MWe unit at the Ledvice power plant being deemed established, the incidental action concerning those claims was withdrawn in full and the relevant incidental proceeding was discontinued. A settlement agreement was made and the relevant actions were withdrawn in full in late 2019. The proceedings were discontinued in January 2020. The cases will be closed with final effect.
  • c) KRÁLOVOPOLSKÁ RIA, a.s., namely conditional and unconditional claims relating to the execution of a project for the construction of a new 660 MWe unit at the Ledvice power plant, comprehensive renovation of the Prunéřov II power plant, and a project for the construction of a new 880 MWe CCGT unit at the Počerady power plant, totaling approximately CZK 1.89 billion (conditional claims of approximately CZK 1.85 billion, an unconditional claim of approximately CZK 16.6 thousand based on filings in 2017, and a claim for damages of approximately CZK 38.7 million based on a filing in 2018). Conditional claims totaling approximately CZK 1.85 billion were denied by both the receiver and KRÁLOVOPOLSKÁ RIA, a.s. Therefore, ŠKODA PRAHA a.s., carries on a lawsuit concerning the denied claims to determine the authenticity and amounts of the denied claims. The case is heard at first instance. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict. A claim for damages arising from the denial of selected contracts for work by KRÁLOVOPOLSKÁ RIA, a.s., totaling approximately CZK 38.7 million (submitted in case the denial is upheld, although it is challenged by ŠKODA PRAHA a.s.) was denied by the receiver. ŠKODA PRAHA a.s., carried on a lawsuit concerning this denied claim against the receiver based on an action brought in 2018, which was withdrawn in 2019 and the proceeding was discontinued. A settlement agreement was made and the relevant actions were withdrawn in full in late 2019. The cases are closed with final effect.

Energotrans, a.s.

  1. Energotrans, a.s., carries on two lawsuits against the Appellate Financial Directorate based on administrative actions filed against decisions of the Appellate Financial Directorate concerning interest on tax authority misconduct in relation to a refunded overpayment of gift tax on emission allowances for 2011 and 2012. The Appellate Financial Directorate issued decisions in December 2018 awarding Energotrans, a.s., interest on tax authority misconduct in 2011 and 2012 for the periods after additional payment assessments. The administrative court rescinded both disputed decisions of the Appellate Financial Directorate and reopened the proceedings. The proceedings are still pending and their outcomes are impossible to predict.

Abroad

Poland

  1. In 2009, Agrowind Kończewo sp. z o.o. (AWK) brought a lawsuit against seven companies jointly and severally, one of which is Eco-Wind Construction S.A., seeking PLN 22.7 million plus interest in compensation for the companies having frustrated the installation of wind turbines and transformer substations on land that the claim alleges was held by AWK. In December 2012, the claim was increased to a total of PLN 112.7 million plus interest (approximately CZK 673 million). The case was subsequently suspended on the ground of notified bankruptcy of one of the companies. The judicial proceeding was resumed in January 2019 but only with six parties that continue in the proceeding. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

Germany

    1. In June 2017, D-I-E Elektro AG (a member of CEZ Group) brought an action against Minto GmbH in the regional court in Mönchengladbach, seeking payment of compensation under a contract for work of EUR 6.7 million (approximately CZK 170 million) plus interest and costs. The case is pending in first instance. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. In December 2018, Minto GmbH brought a counteraction against D-I-E Elektro AG in the regional court in Mönchengladbach, seeking payment of EUR 2.1 million (approximately CZK 52 million) in compensation for additional expenses from a contract for work. Procedurally, the dispute is related to D-I-E Elektro AG's action from June 2017. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

Turkey

    1. From 2011 to 2015, Sakarya Elektrik Dagitim A.S. (SEDAŞ) filed appeals against administrative decisions of the Turkish energy market regulatory authority (EPDK) that were the basis for reducing the portion of the companies' operating costs that were automatically recognized in tariffs. SEDAŞ appealed against one of the first-instance decisions to the Supreme Administrative Court of Turkey. The appeal was dismissed. The remaining lawsuits are in the pleading submission stage. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. Distribution and sales companies in Turkey are facing lawsuits concerning a refund of the costs of technical and nontechnical losses paid for by the companies' customers. In the case of SEDAŞ, the total amount of pending lawsuits is immaterial and courts have been deciding in favor of the company with regard to legislation passed in 2016 as well as the Constitutional Court's jurisprudence. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
  • In March and May 2016, SEDAŞ brought three administrative actions against EPDK's decisions regulating the limits of SEDAŞ's revenue from electricity distribution in the regulatory period of 2016–2020, including the method of calculation and application. The case is pending in the appellate court. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

Romania

    1. Distributie Energie Oltenia S.A. has been carrying on a lawsuit against the regulatory authority since early 2014, concerning distribution tariffs in the second regulatory period. In April 2016, the court of first instance partially admitted the complaint of Distributie Energie Oltenia S.A. against the regulatory authority and decided that the correction for the past regulatory period was applied wrongfully. The regulatory authority appealed against the judgment and also disputed a submitted expert opinion. The opinion says that the amount of the negative correction (the primary cause of a decrease in tariffs) is unjustified. The appellate court overturned the ruling and returned the case to the court of first instance. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. Distributie Energie Oltenia S.A. has been carrying on a lawsuit against the regulatory authority (ANRE) since late 2018, concerning administrative regulation No. 169/2018 governing distribution tariff methodology. The case is pending in first instance. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. Distributie Energie Oltenia S.A. has been carrying on a lawsuit against the regulatory authority (ANRE) since late 2018, concerning administrative regulation No. 168/2018 governing WACC. The court has suspended the proceeding by the two parties' agreement. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. Tomis Team S.A. carries on a lawsuit against the Municipal Authority of Fântânele concerning a property tax obligation for properties under turbines, as the Romanian law was amended in this respect. The company brought the action in 2018. The case is heard at first instance. The proceeding was stayed at a May 2019 hearing. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. Tomis Team S.A. carries on a lawsuit against the Municipal Authority of Fântânele concerning its obligation to pay property tax (in 2010–2014) and related penalty (totaling approximately RON 27.5 million, that is, approximately CZK 148 million), based on an action brought in 2016. The case is heard at first instance and has been stayed. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

Bulgaria

    1. CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria AD and CEZ Elektro Bulgaria AD appealed in 2017, 2018, and 2019 against numerous decisions of the regulatory authority—Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC)—stipulating prices of electricity. Judicial proceedings are underway. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.
    1. CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria AD and CEZ Elektro Bulgaria AD appealed against changes in regulation No. 1 concerning electricity price regulation starting from June 2018. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria AD appealed against the proposal for a new regulation governing the measurement of the quality of supplied energy. The proceeding is pending in the Supreme Administrative Court. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. In July 2019, Receiver CB EOOD, as a creditor of Future Energy in an insolvency proceeding, brought an action against CEZ Elektro Bulgaria AD. In the action, Receiver CB EOOD seeks ineffectiveness of the setoff of counterclaims and the use of a bank guarantee confirmed by a settlement agreement made among CEZ Elektro Bulgaria AD, Future Energy (FE), and Karpleon Bulgaria EOOD in March 2018. The plaintiff seeks reversal of the effect of the part of the settlement agreement confirming the setoff of a liability of CEZ Elektro Bulgaria AD to FE totaling BGN 6.7 million (approximately CZK 85.5 million) against entitlement to a penalty and the use of a bank guarantee amounting to BGN 500,000. The plaintiff also seeks that CEZ Elektro pay an amount of BGN 3.3 million (approximately CZK 42.1 million) toward FE's insolvent estate, representing a portion of the amount due and the amount received under the bank guarantee of BGN 500,000. Receiver CB EOOD brought an additional action in September 2019. CEZ Elektro Bulgaria AD answered to both actions in due time. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. As a result of a regulatory audit of compliance with distribution license conditions in the period of July 1, 2008, to November 30, 2013, conducted by the EWRC, CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria AD was served 981 administrative decisions on a breach of obligations, which the company submitted written objections to. On the basis of the objections submitted, CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria AD subsequently received 206 penalty decisions issued by the EWRC for BGN 20,000 (approximately CZK 260,000) per breach. The company duly appealed against all of the penalty decisions. At the report closing date, there are 199 final court rulings, of which 96 confirmed the imposed penalties and the penalties were paid by the company; 103 rulings finally dismissed the penalties. Additionally, seven proceedings are awaiting a ruling of the court of first instance. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. In 2013, the Commission for Protection of Competition (CPC) initiated proceedings on infringements of the Competition Protection Act and Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (cartel agreements consisting in concerted practices and abuse of a dominant position) by ČEZ companies and other companies in connection with the opening of the electricity market. On December 14, 2017, the CPC made a decision whereby CEZ Elektro Bulgaria AD was fined BGN 1.14 million (approximately CZK 14.3 million) and CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria AD was fined BGN 1.06 million (approximately CZK 13.9 million). Both companies appealed against this decision to the Supreme Administrative Court. The Supreme Administrative Court found the fines justified and dismissed both companies' appeals. An appeal was filed against this ruling. In May 2019, the Supreme Administrative Court overturned the previous court ruling confirming the fine for CEZ Elektro Bulgaria and returned the case to the court of first instance to gather additional evidence. At a September 2019 hearing, the court of first instance appointed a sworn expert and laid down questions to answer. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. The Commission for Protection against Discrimination opened case No. 258/2008 for alleged discrimination based on ethnic origin due to the installation of junction boxes at a height of 6–8 meters in some areas but at a height of 1–2 meters in other areas. The Court of Justice of the European Union in Luxembourg decided in July 2015 that Anelia Nikolova was discriminated against. The Administrative Court in Sofia took over the case. Subsequently, in August 2017, the Administrative Court decided to return the case to the Commission for Protection against Discrimination. The case was reopened by the Commission. The Commission appealed to the parties to seek agreement at a September 2018 hearing. No such agreement has been reached and a decision is awaited. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. In April 2017, Piraeus Bank Bulgaria AD (now part of Eurobank Bulgaria AD) brought an action against Bara Group EOOD concerning pledged claims of SANO EPC EOOD against Bara Group EOOD. The action claiming BGN 50,000 (approximately CZK 0.6 million) is just a portion of the total pledged receivable amounting to BGN 3 million (approximately CZK 39 million). Bara Group EOOD submitted its objections to the action in writing. The case is now in the appellate stage after the action was dismissed by the court of first instance and Piraeus Bank Bulgaria appealed against the dismissing court ruling. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. ESO EAD (transmission system operator) carried on two lawsuits against CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria AD, seeking payment of claims related to electricity transmission and supply, totaling approximately BGN 6.33 million (approximately CZK 83 million), for the period from March 2014 to January 2015, based on actions brought in 2014 and 2017. The legal ground for the amount claimed is article 7 of regulation No. 1 concerning electricity price regulation. One case was decided against CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria AD.

Other Proceedings

Czechia

As part of an investigation into possible criminal activity related to obtaining a license to operate the Vranovská Ves photovoltaic power plant, the police authority issued a resolution on the attachment of a replacement value of the likely proceeds of the criminal activity pursuant to the Code of Criminal Procedure, specifically:

    1. Attachment of receivables of ČEZ Obnovitelné zdroje, s.r.o., against OTE, a.s., in the form of support paid for the green bonus, totaling over CZK 824 million as at January 31, 2020; the amount in question will be deposited on a bank account with the Czech National Bank for the duration of the attachment, and ČEZ Obnovitelné zdroje, s.r.o., cannot dispose of these funds.
    1. Attachment of funds on a bank account of ČEZ, a. s., in the amount of approximately CZK 223 million; ČEZ, a. s., cannot dispose of these funds for the duration of the attachment.

In both cases, these are interlocutory attachment orders made by law enforcement authorities in a case where the accused are not employees of CEZ Group companies. ČEZ Obnovitelné zdroje, s.r.o., and ČEZ, a. s., are injured parties in the case. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

Bulgaria

In July 2016, ČEZ, a. s., formally filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), officially commencing international investment arbitration against the Republic of Bulgaria under the Energy Charter Treaty on the grounds of nonprotection of investment. It decided to do so after a number of interventions by Bulgarian authorities injuring ČEZ companies' business in Bulgaria and as a result of a long-term, unimproving critical situation in the country's energy market. The claim amounts to hundreds of millions of EUR. ČEZ, a. s., repeatedly called upon the Bulgarian government to improve the existing situation speedily and compensate it for incurred losses. It sent the Bulgarian government a Notice of Dispute in November 2015, in which it asked for amicable settlement and reserved the right to commence investment arbitration. Efforts to initiate an amicable settlement with the Bulgarian government have not resulted in any official response by the competent authorities since November 2015. After the deadline for an amicable settlement expired in May 2016, ČEZ, a. s., formally notified Bulgaria that it would commence the international arbitration procedure. The arbitration claim is not part of the sale of the Company's Bulgarian assets and the arbitration is still carried on by ČEZ, a. s. The ICSID was officially asked to appoint the presiding arbitrator at the beginning of 2019. On this basis, the president was elected and the complete tribunal was appointed in February 2019. This was followed by an exchange of the parties' filings and an oral procedure is expected in June 2020; the first matter considered by the tribunal will be an objection to jurisdiction, that is, the competence of the arbitral tribunal to decide the dispute. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

Totals and subtotals in this Annual Report can differ from the sum of partial values due to rounding.

In text concerning generation and describing the countries of CEZ Group's presence, information identified as "Traditional Generation" means totals for companies included in the Generation—Traditional Energy accounting segment. Information identified as "Renewable Generation" means totals for companies included in the accounting segments of Generation—New Energy and Sales. Categorization thus depends on the inclusion of the company to which the generating facility belongs in an accounting segment; that is why hydroelectric power plants, for example, are divided between both categories.

Methods Used to Calculate Indicators Unspecified in IFRS

In accordance with ESMA guidelines, ČEZ provides detailed information on indicators that are not reported as standard under IFRS reporting or the components of which are not directly available from standardized statements (financial statements and notes thereto). Such indicators represent supplementary information in respect of financial data, providing reports' users with additional information for their assessment of the financial position and performance of CEZ Group or ČEZ. In general, these indicators are also commonly used in other commercial companies, not only in the energy sector.

Indicator
Adjusted Net Income (After-Tax Income, Adjusted)
Purpose: This is a supporting indicator, intended primarily for investors, creditors, and shareholders, which allows
interpreting achieved financial results with the exclusion of extraordinary, usually nonrecurring effects that are
generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance and value creation in a given period.
Definition: Net income (after-tax income) +/− additions to and reversals of impairments of property, plant, and equipment
and intangible assets, including goodwill +/− additions to and reversals of impairments of developed projects
+/− other extraordinary effects that are generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given year and
value creation in a given period +/− effects of the above on income tax.
Dividend per Share (Gross)
Purpose: The indicator expresses a shareholder's right to the payment of a share in a joint-stock company's profits
(usually for the past year) corresponding to the holding of one share. The subsequent payment of the share in
profits is usually subject to taxes, which may be different for different shareholders; therefore, the value before
taxes is reported.
Definition: Dividend granted in a given year, before taxes, for outstanding shares.
Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
Purpose: This shows the level of appreciation of capital invested in a company's core business. It is used to compare
rates of return among similar companies within an industry.
Definition: EBIT * (1 – corporate income tax rate) / average invested capital. An average value calculated from the value at
the end of the current period and the value at the end of the period 12 months ago is used for invested capital.
Invested Capital
Definition: Property, plant, and equipment, nuclear fuel, and construction work in progress + noncurrent intangible assets
+ net working capital.
Net Working Capital
Definition: Current assets – cash and cash equivalents – current liabilities + short-term loans + current portion
of long-term debt + provisions within current liabilities.
Return on Equity (ROE), Net
Purpose: This indicator is the ratio of generated income to shareholders' capital invested in a company. It allows investors
to compare the appreciation of their investment (ROE achieved in a prior period) to their expectations.
Definition: Net income attributable to parent company shareholders / average equity attributable to parent company
shareholders. The value for the past 12 months is used for net income. An average value calculated
from the value of the current period and the value of the period 12 months ago, that is, the average value at
December 31, is used for equity.
Note: Net income is used in the numerator and equity is used in the denominator for the ČEZ, a. s., value.

Most of the components used in the calculation of individual indicators are directly shown in financial statements. The components of calculations that are not included in the financial statements are usually shown directly in a company's books and are defined as follows:

Adjusted Net Income Indicator—Individual Components

Adjusted Net Income (After-Tax Income, Adjusted) Unit Q1–Q4 2018 Q1–Q4 2019
Net income CZK millions 10,500 14,500
Impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets CZK millions 1,766 4,860
Impairments of developed projects* CZK millions 0 12
Impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill, at joint ventures** CZK millions 0 0
Effects of additions to or reversals of impairments on income tax*** CZK millions (150) (516)
Other extraordinary effects**** CZK millions 938 0
Adjusted net income CZK millions 13,055 18,856

* Included in the row Other operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

** Included in the row Share of profit (loss) from associates and joint ventures in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

*** Included in the row Income taxes (deferred tax) in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

**** In 2018, the negative effect of additions to provisions and impairments of a ČEZ receivable corresponding to the value of potential partial performance under provided guarantees for Turkish Akcez group companies' loans due to continued weakening of the TRY/USD exchange rate in 2018 (reflecting Turkey's macroeconomic and political developments)—this is included in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the row Share of profit (loss) from associates and joint ventures (CZK 425 million) and in the row Impairments of financial assets (CZK 513 million); while there were more additions to ČEZ's provisions in question in 2019, the negative effect was not adjusted for because it was an effect reflecting standard business activities rather than an extraordinary effect resulting from a significant weakening of the TRY exchange rate.

1. The Company

ČEZ, a. s. (ČEZ or the Company), business registration number 45274649, is a Czech Republic joint-stock company, owned 69.8% (70.1% of voting rights) at December 31, 2019 by the Czech Republic represented by the Ministry of Finance. The remaining shares of the Company are publicly held. The address of the Company's registered office is Duhová 2/1444, Praha 4, 140 53, Czech Republic.

The Company is a parent company of the CEZ Group (the Group, see Note 9). Main business of the Group is the production, distribution, trade and sale of electricity and heat, trade and sale of natural gas and coal mining. ČEZ is an electricity generation company, which in 2019 generated approximately 62% of the electricity in the Czech Republic. In the Czech Republic the Company operates eleven fossil fuel plants, sixteen hydroelectric plants, one combined cycle gas turbine plant and two nuclear plants. The Company also operates through its subsidiaries several power plants (fossil fuel, hydro, wind, solar, gas, biogas, biomass) in the Czech Republic, eleven wind power plants in Germany, two fossil fuel plants and one hydroelectric plant in Poland, one solar plant in Bulgaria and a wind farm and a complex of hydroelectric plants in Romania. Further the Group also controls certain electricity distribution companies in the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Romania. The average number of employees of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries was 31,572 and 30,545 in 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Responsibility for public administration in the energy sector is exercised by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (the Ministry), the Energy Regulatory Office and the State Energy Inspection Board.

The Ministry, as the central public administration body for the energy sector, issues state approval to construct new energy facilities in accordance with specified conditions, develops the energy policy of the state and ensures fulfillment of obligations resulting from international treaties binding on the Czech Republic or obligations resulting from membership in international organizations.

The Energy Regulatory Office was established as the administrative office to exercise regulation in the energy sector of the Czech Republic, to support economic competition and to protect consumers' interests in sectors where competition is not possible. The Energy Regulatory Office decides on the granting of a license, imposition of the supply obligation beyond the scope of the license, imposition of the obligation to let another license holder use energy facilities in cases of emergency, to exercise the supply obligation beyond the scope of the license and price regulation based on special legal regulations. The State Energy Inspection Board is the inspection body supervising the activities in the energy sector. All customers can select their suppliers of electricity.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.1. Financial Statements

These consolidated financial statements of the Group were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU).

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, except when IFRS require other measurement basis as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

Explanation Added for Translation into English

These financial statements represent a translation of financial statements originally issued in Czech.

2.2. Group Accounting

2.2.1. Group Structure

The financial statements of CEZ Group include the accounts of ČEZ, a. s., its subsidiaries, associates and joint-ventures included in consolidation unit (see Note 9).

2.2.2. Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those entities which the Group controls. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group has:

  • Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)
  • Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
  • The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
  • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
  • The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability are recognized in accordance with IFRS 9 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as equity are not recognized.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired ("negative goodwill"), then the Group first reassesses the identification and measurement of the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of the combination. Any excess remaining after the reassessment is recognized immediately in the income statement and is presented in the line Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without loss of control, is accounted as an equity transaction.

Losses within a subsidiary incurred are attributed to the non-controlling interest even if that results in a deficit balance.

Put options held by non-controlling interests are recorded as a derecognition of non-controlling interest and recognition of a liability at the end of the reporting period. The liability is recognized at the present value of the amount payable on exercise, and any difference between the amount of non-controlling interest derecognized and this liability is accounted for within equity. Subsequent changes to the present value of the amount payable on exercise are recorded directly in equity.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed, where necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

2.2.3. Associates

Associates are entities over which the Group generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Group has significant influence, but which it does not control. Investments in associates are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Under this method the Group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of associates is recognized in the income statement and its share of other post-acquisition movements in equity of associates is recognized in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost of the investment. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates; unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of accumulated impairment losses) on acquisition.

When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Group does not recognize further losses. In such a case, the Group recognizes its full share on net loss and its share on other comprehensive income only to the extent to recognize nil interest in an associate. This amount is included in the item Translation differences – associates and joint-ventures in the statement of comprehensive income. Then the Group discontinues of using equity method of accounting. However, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized on the balance sheet in the item Other long-term liabilities, after the Group's interest is reduced to zero, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations (e.g. provided guarantees) or made payments on behalf of the associate. If the associate subsequently reports profits, the Group resumes recognizing its share of those profits only after its share of the profits equals the share of losses not recognized.

2.2.4. Joint-ventures

A joint-venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint-venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The considerations made in determining significant influence or joint control are similar to those necessary considerations to determine control over subsidiaries. The Group recognizes its interest in the joint-venture using the equity method of accounting (see Note 2.2.3).

The financial statements of the joint-venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company. Adjustments are made where necessary to bring the accounting policies into line with those of the Group. Adjustments are made in the Group's financial statements to eliminate the Group's share of unrealized gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its jointly controlled entity. Losses on transactions are recognized immediately if the loss provides evidence of a reduction in the net realizable value of current assets or an impairment loss.

2.2.5. Transactions Involving Entities under Common Control

Acquisitions of subsidiaries from entities under common control are recorded using a method similar to pooling of interests.

The assets and liabilities of the acquired subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements at their book values. The difference between the cost of acquisition of subsidiaries from entities under common control and the share of net assets acquired in book values is recorded directly in equity.

2.3. Changes in Accounting Policies

2.3.1. Adoption of New IFRS Standards in 2019

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for as follows. The Group has adopted the following new or amended and endorsed by EU IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of January 1, 2019:

IFRS 16 Leases

This standard supersedes IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard deals with accounting, measurement and presentation of leases and disclosure requirements for the notes of the financial statements for both contract parties, i.e. for customer (lessee) and for supplier (lessor). Lessees will use single accounting model for all leases (with certain exceptions). Accounting by lessor is substantially unchanged from IAS 17, except where the Group leases right-of-use assets in a sublease. Therefore, IFRS 16 does not have a material impact for leases where the Group is the lessor.

The Group applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the comparative information presented for 2018 is not restated. The Group elected to use a transition practical expedient and applied the standard only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 at the date of initial application. The Group also elected to use the recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases), and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (low-value assets).

On transition to IFRS 16, the Group recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, restoration provision and derecognized prepayments related to the leased assets. As of the date of application of IFRS 16, the Group also incurred investment in finance lease due to the sublease of right-of-use assets. The impact on transition is summarized below (in CZK million):

Plant in service 5,750
Intangible assets, net 36
Other non-current financial assets, net 2
Other current assets, net (88)
Assets classified as held for sale 369
Total assets 6,069
Long-term debt including current portion 5,618
Provisions 82
Liabilities associated with assets classified as held for sale 369
Total liability 6,069

The lease liability as at January 1, 2019 can be reconciled to the operating lease commitments as of December 31, 2018 as follows (in CZK millions):

Future minimum rentals payable under non-cancellable operating lease as at December 31, 2018 2,347
Effect of discounting as at January 1, 2019 using weighted average incremental borrowing rate of 3.06% p.a.
Discounted operating lease commitments as at January 1, 2019 2,144
Commitments relating to leases previously classified as finance lease
Lease payments not included in non-cancellable operating lease commitments as at December 2018, 31 3,474
Lease liabilities as at January 1, 2019 5,863

Amendment IAS 19 Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

The Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with earlier application permitted. The amendment requires Group to use updated actuarial assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the annual reporting period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement has occurred. The amendment also clarifies how the accounting for a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement affects applying the asset ceiling requirements. This Amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU. The amendment did not have material impact on Group's financial statements.

Amendment IFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation

The Amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Amendment allows financial assets with prepayment features that permit or require a party to a contract either to pay or receive reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract (so that, from the perspective of the holder of the asset there may be 'negative compensation'), to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendment did not have material impact on Group's financial statements.

Amendment IAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint-ventures

The Amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Amendment relates to whether the measurement, in particular impairment requirements, of long-term interests in associates and joint-ventures that, in substance, form part of the 'net investment' in the associate or joint-venture should be governed by IFRS 9, IAS 28 or a combination of both. The Amendment clarifies that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, before it applies IAS 28, to such long-term interests for which the equity method is not applied. In applying IFRS 9, the entity does not take account of any adjustments to the carrying amount of long-term interests that arise from applying IAS 28. The amendment did not have material impact on Group's financial statements.

IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12. The Interpretation provides guidance on considering uncertain tax treatments separately or together, examination by tax authorities, the appropriate method to reflect uncertainty and accounting for changes in facts and circumstances. This Interpretation did not have material impact on Group's financial statements.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015–2017

In December 2017 the IASB issued a collection of amendments to IAS and IFRS for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 in which they focused on areas of inconsistency in IFRSs and IASs or where the clarification of wording was required. The following standards were amended:

IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements:

The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it remeasures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to IFRS 11 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not remeasure previously held interests in that business.

IAS 12 Income Taxes:

The amendments clarify that the income tax consequences of payments on financial instruments classified as equity should be recognized according to where the past transactions or events that generated distributable profits have been recognized.

IAS 23 Borrowing Costs:

The amendments clarify paragraph 14 of the standard that, when a qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale, and some of the specific borrowing related to that qualifying asset remains outstanding at that point, that borrowing is to be included in the funds that an entity borrows generally.

These improvements did not have material impact on Group's financial statements.

2.3.2. Adoption of New IFRS Standards in 2018

In 2018, the Group has adopted the new accounting standards IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Other changes in accounting policies in 2018, which are described in more details in the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2018, did not have material impact on the Group's financial statements.

The Group has adopted the new accounting standard IFRS 9 retrospectively, with the initial application date of January 1, 2018. Due to the application of IFRS 9, some assets were reclassified from category Available-for-sale to category Fair value through profit or loss and accumulated reserve from revaluation of Available-for-sale financial assets amounting to CZK 350 million was transferred to retained earnings. In addition, in applying of IFRS 9, the Group reassessed the amount of allowance provision for doubtful receivables and other assets in accordance with IFRS 9 impairment requirements, which are described in Note 2.14.4. The application of IFRS 9 standard as of January 1, 2018 reduced equity by CZK 82 million.

The Group adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective method of adoption. The effect as of the date of application, resulting from recognition of deferred connection fees received from customers prior 2009 in retained earnings, increased equity by CZK 2,506 million.

2.3.3. New IFRS Standards and IFRIC Interpretations either not yet Effective or not yet Adopted by EU

The Group is currently assessing the potential impacts of the new and revised standards and interpretations that will be effective or adopted by the EU from January 1, 2020 or later. Standards and interpretations most relevant to the Group's activities are detailed below:

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint-venture

The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint-venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In December 2015 the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. These amendments are not expected to have significant impact to the Group's financial statements.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021 with earlier application permitted if both IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments have also been applied. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts issued. It also requires similar principles to be applied to reinsurance contracts held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. The objective is to ensure that entities provide relevant information in a way that faithfully represents those contracts. This information gives a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that contracts within the scope of IFRS 17 have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity. The standard has not been yet endorsed by the EU. This standard is not expected to have significant impact to the Group's financial statements.

Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards

The IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting on March 29, 2018. The Conceptual Framework sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting, standard setting, guidance for preparers in developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to others in their efforts to understand and interpret the standards. IASB also issued a separate accompanying document, Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards, which sets out the amendments to affected standards in order to update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. Its objective is to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework for companies that develop accounting policies using the Conceptual Framework when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction. For preparers who develop accounting policies based on the Conceptual Framework, it is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. This amendment is not expected to have significant impact to the Group's financial statements.

Amendment IFRS 3: Business Combinations

The IASB issued Amendment in Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3) aimed at resolving the difficulties that arise when an entity determines whether it has acquired a business or a group of assets. The Amendment is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is in the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period, with earlier application permitted. This Amendment have not yet been endorsed by the EU. This amendment is not expected to have significant impact to the Group's financial statements.

Amendments IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of 'material'

The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 with earlier application permitted. The Amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied. The new definition states that, 'Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity'. In addition, the explanations accompanying the definition have been improved. The Amendments also ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS Standards. These amendments are not expected to have significant impact to the Group's financial statements.

Amendments IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and must be applied retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted. In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, which concludes phase one of its work to respond to the effects of Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) reform on financial reporting. Phase two will focus on issues that could affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with a risk-free interest rate (an RFR). The amendments published, deal with issues affecting financial reporting in the period before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative interest rate and address the implications for specific hedge accounting requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, which require forward-looking analysis. The amendments provided temporary reliefs, applicable to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform, which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate. There are also amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures regarding additional disclosures around uncertainty arising from the interest rate benchmark reform. These amendments are not expected to have significant impact to the Group's financial statements.

Amendments IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier application permitted. The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change existing requirements around measurement or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information that entities disclose about those items. Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. These amendments are not expected to have significant impact to the Group's financial statements.

The Group does not expect early adoption of any of the above-mentioned standards, improvements or amendments.

2.4. Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Explanation of key assumptions is included in relevant sections of notes where significant estimates are being described. Significant estimates are made by the Group while determining recoverable amounts for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see Note 7), accounting for the nuclear provisions (see Note 20.1), provisions for reclamation of mines, mining damages and waste storage reclamation (see Note 20.2), unbilled electricity and gas (see Note 2.6), fair value of commodity contracts (see Notes 2.16 and 18), financial derivatives (see Notes 2.15 and 18) and incremental borrowing rate and lease term to measure lease liability (see Notes 2.27 and 24).

2.5. Revenues

The Group recognizes revenue from supplies of electricity, heat, gas and coal based on contract terms. Differences between contracted amounts and actual supplies for electricity and gas are settled through the market operator.

Revenues are recognized, when the Group has satisfied a performance obligation and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. The Group will recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled (after reduction for expected discounts) in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

Sales are recognized net of value added tax.

Revenue from sale of assets is recognized when they are delivered and related significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer.

Contract revenue and contract costs associated with the construction contracts is recognized as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity. The stage of completion is determined by reference to the share of incurred contract costs to total expected full contract costs. However, an expected loss on the construction contract is recognized as an expense immediately regardless the stage of completion of such a construction contract.

Connection fees received from customers are recognized in income in the period when this performance obligation is satisfied.

Government and similar grants related to income are recognized in the income statement in the period in which the Group recognizes related expenses to be offset by the grant and is presented in the line Other operating income.

2.6. Unbilled Electricity and Gas

Electricity and gas supplied to customers, which is not yet billed, is recognized in revenues at estimated amounts. The estimate of monthly change in unbilled electricity and gas is derived from the measured quantity after deduction of invoiced amounts and estimated grid losses. The estimate of total unbilled balance is also supported by extrapolation of consumption in the last measured period for individual locations. The ending balance of contract assets and liabilities is disclosed net in the balance sheet after deduction of advances received from customers and is included in the line item of Other current assets, net or Other short-term liabilities, net.

2.7. Fuel Costs

Fuel costs are expensed as fuel is consumed. Fuel expense includes the amortization of the cost of nuclear fuel (see Note 2.10).

2.8. Interest

The Group capitalizes all interest incurred in connection with its construction program that theoretically could have been avoided if expenditures for the qualifying assets had not been made. The qualifying assets include assets, for which the construction represents a substantial period of time.

2.9. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment in value. Cost of plant in service includes purchase price, materials, labor, payroll-related costs and the cost of debt financing used during construction. The cost also includes the estimated cost of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site, to the extent that is recognized as a provision under IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. Government and similar grants received for construction of certain items of property, plant and equipment decrease the acquisition cost of the respective items.

Internally developed property, plant and equipment are recorded at their accumulated cost. The cost of maintenance, repairs, and replacement of minor items of property is charged to maintenance expense when incurred. Renewals and improvements are capitalized. Upon sale, retirement or replacement of part of an item of property, plant and equipment, the cost, related accumulated depreciation and eventual impairment of the disposed item or its replaced part are derecognized from the balance sheet. Any resulting gains or losses are included in profit or loss.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group reviews the recoverable amounts of its property, plant and equipment to determine whether such amounts continue to exceed the assets' carrying values. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Identified impairment of property, plant and equipment is recognized directly in profit or loss in the line item Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets including goodwill.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group makes an estimate of recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss in the line item Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets including goodwill.

The Group depreciates the original cost of property, plant and equipment less its residual value by using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. The depreciable useful lives used for property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Useful lives
(years)
Buildings and structures 20–50
Machinery and equipment 4–35
Vehicles 8–25
Furniture and fixtures 4–15

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

2.10. Nuclear Fuel

The Group presents nuclear fuel as part of property, plant and equipment, because its useful life exceeds 1 year. Nuclear fuel is recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization and possible impairment in value. Nuclear fuel includes the capitalized portion of the provision for interim storage of nuclear fuel. Amortization of fuel in the reactor is based on the amount of power generated and is recognized in the income statement in the line item Fuel and Emission rights. The amortization of nuclear fuel includes charges in respect of additions to the accumulated provision for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel.

2.11. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are valued at their acquisition costs and related expenses. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful life of intangible assets ranges from 3 to 25 years. The assets' residual values, useful lives and amortization methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Improvements are capitalized.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment (for goodwill see Note 2.12) whenever facts or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount could be impaired. The recoverable amount of an intangible asset not yet available for use is tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. Identified impairment of intangible assets is recognized directly in profit or loss in the line item Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets including goodwill.

For assets excluding goodwill an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group makes an estimate of recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss in the line item Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets including goodwill.

2.12. Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (see Note 2.2). Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates and joint-ventures is included in investments in associates and joint-ventures. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.

As at the acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the combination's synergies. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, to which the goodwill relates. Where recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses of goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent periods. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured on the basis of the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

2.13. Emission Rights

Emission right represents the right of the operator of a facility, which in the course of its operation emits greenhouse gases, to emit during the calendar year equivalent of one ton of carbon dioxide. Based on the National Allocation Plans certain companies of the Group have been granted emission rights. These companies are responsible for determining and reporting the amount of greenhouse gases produced by its facilities in the calendar year and this amount has to be audited by an accredited person.

On April, 30 of the following year, at the latest, these companies are required to remit a number of allowances representing the number of tones of CO2 actually emitted in previous year.

The emission rights which were granted free of charge are stated at their nominal value, i.e. at zero. Purchased emission rights are carried at cost (except for emission rights for trading). Emission rights acquired in a business combination are initially recognized at their fair value at the date of acquisition and subsequently treated similarly to purchased emission rights. The Group recognizes a provision to cover emissions made, which corresponds to the difference between emissions made and amount of the emission rights which were granted free. This provision is measured firstly with regard to the cost of emission rights and credits purchased with the intention of covering the greenhouse gases emissions of the reporting period. The provision for emissions made above the amount of these emissions rights and credits is measured at the market price ruling at the balance sheet date. The emission rights purchased for own use purpose in the next year are presented within current assets in the line Emission rights. The emission rights with an expected later use are presented as part of the intangible assets.

The Group also holds emission rights and credits for trading purposes. The portfolio of emission rights and credits held for trading is measured at fair value. The changes in fair value of the emission rights held for trading are recognized directly in profit or loss in the line Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading. The emission rights and credits for the trading purposes are presented within current assets in the line Emission rights.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that emission rights may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Group reviews the recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units, to which the emission rights were allocated, to determine whether such amounts continue to exceed the assets' carrying values. Any identified impairment of emission rights is recognized directly in profit or loss in the line item of Other operating expenses.

Sale and repurchase agreements with emission rights are accounted for as collateralized borrowing.

Green and similar certificates which were granted free are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently treated similarly to purchased emission rights.

2.14. Classification of Financial Instruments

A financial asset is mainly cash, an equity instrument of another entity or a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset.

A financial liability is mainly a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset.

Financial liabilities and assets are presented as current (short-term) or non-current (long-term). Financial assets are presented as current when the Group expects to realize them within 12 months of the balance sheet date or if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will hold the financial assets for more than 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Financial liabilities are presented as current when they are due within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The financial assets and liabilities for trading are presented as current.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2.14.1. Financial Assets

Financial assets are classified into two main categories (a) at amortized cost and (b) at fair value depending on whether the financial asset is held for trading or is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows.

The Group defines financial assets to the following categories:

a) financial assets at amortized cost

This category includes the financial assets held with strategy to collect contractual cash flows, which consist of both principal and interest payments. Examples for such financial assets are loans, securities held to maturity, trade receivables.

Expected credit losses, foreign exchange rate differences and interest revenues are recognized in the income statement.

b) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

This category includes the financial assets held with strategy to collect contractual cash flows or to sell financial assets. This model distinguishes two types of accounting treatment:

– no recycling to the income statement – used for equity financial assets

Expected credit loss is not calculated and recognized. Changes in the fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognized no profit or loss is recognized in the income statement – it never affects profit or loss. In case that equity instrument was sold, an accumulated revaluation reserve is reclassified to retained earnings. Foreign exchange rate differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (part of revaluation reserve). Dividends from these financial assets are recognized in the income statement providing it does not result in an impairment loss of investment at the same time.

– recycling to the income statement – used for debt financial assets

Expected credit loss is recognized in the income statement. Changes in the fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognized, profit or loss is recognized in the income statement (profit or loss is reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement). Foreign exchange rate differences in relation to revaluation reserve are recognized in other comprehensive income. Foreign exchange rate differences in relation to impairment are recognized in the income statement. Interest revenues are recognized in the income statement.

c) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category includes the financial assets held with strategy of active trading with financial assets. Contractual cash flow collection is not the primary objective of business model. Examples for such financial assets are securities for trading, derivatives not used for hedging. Expected credit losses are not calculated and recognized. Changes in the fair value and foreign exchange rate differences are recognized in the income statement.

Changes in the fair values are included in lines Other financial expenses or Other financial income.

2.14.2. Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified into two main categories (a) at amortized cost and (b) at fair value through profit or loss. Classification into these categories is similar to the financial assets above.

For "Fair Value Option" liabilities, the amount of change in the fair value of a liability that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be recognized in other comprehensive income. The remainder of the change in fair value is recognized in profit or loss. However, when recognition of the fair value change in respect of the liability's credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, all changes in fair value are then recognized in profit or loss.

2.14.3. Derivatives

Specific category of the financial assets and liabilities are derivatives. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The presentation of derivatives is described in the Note 2.15.

2.14.4. Impairment of Financial Assets

Impairment of financial assets by applying the IFRS 9 requirements is based on expected credit loss (ECL) model which applies to the following financial assets:

a) debt assets at amortized cost (trade receivables, loans, debt securities),

  • b) debt assets at fair value through other comprehensive income,
  • c) lease receivables,
  • d) contract assets and financial guarantee contracts,
  • e) bank accounts and term deposits.

An impairment analysis of receivables is performed by the Group at each reporting date on an individual basis for significant specific receivables. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively where the individual approach is not applicable.

The Group recognizes either 12-months or lifetime ECL, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (or when the commitment or guarantee was entered into). For some trade receivables, the simplified approach is applied whereby the lifetime expected credit losses are always recognized.

For the purposes of ECL model calculation, the portfolio of financial assets is split into 3 stages. At the date of the first recognition, the financial assets are included in stage 1, with the lowest allowance which is determined using percentage of unpaid receivables in the past. Subsequent reclassification to the stages 2 and 3 is carried out according to the definition of significant increase in credit risk of a debtor. The interest revenue from receivables in the stage 3 is based on the net carrying amount.

2.15. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its risks associated with interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. In the balance sheet such derivatives are presented as part of other current and non-current financial assets or as part of other long-term and short-term financial liabilities.

The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as either fair value hedges when they hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability; or cash flow hedges when they hedge exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.

The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

2.15.1. Fair Value Hedge

Gain or loss from re-measuring the hedging instrument at fair value is recognized immediately in the income statement. Any gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is adjusted against the carrying amount of the hedged item and recognized in the income statement. Where the adjustment is to the carrying amount of a hedged interest-bearing financial instrument, the adjustment is amortized to profit or loss over the remaining term to maturity.

2.15.2. Cash Flow Hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are initially recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in the income statement in the line item Other financial expenses or Other financial income.

Amounts accumulated in equity are transferred to the income statement in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recorded to the income statement when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to the income statement.

2.15.3. Other Derivatives

Certain derivative instruments are not designated for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in the income statement.

2.16. Commodity Contracts

According to IFRS 9, certain commodity contracts are treated as financial instruments and fall into the scope of the standard. Most commodity purchase and sales contracts entered into by the Group provide for physical delivery of quantities intended to be consumed or sold as part of its ordinary business; such contracts are thus excluded from the scope of IFRS 9.

In particular, forward purchases and sales for physical delivery of energy are considered to fall outside the scope of application of IFRS 9, when the contract concerned is considered to have been entered into as part of the Group's normal business activity. This is demonstrated to be the case when all the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • A physical delivery takes place under such contracts;
  • The volumes purchased or sold under the contracts correspond to the Group's operating requirements;
  • The contract cannot be considered as a written option as defined by the standard IFRS 9. In the specific case of electricity sales contracts, the contract is substantially equivalent to a firm forward sale or can be considered as a capacity sale.

The Group thus considers that transactions negotiated with a view to balancing the volumes between electricity purchases and sale commitments are part of its ordinary business as an integrated electric utility company and do not therefore come under the scope of IFRS 9.

Commodity contracts which fall under the scope of IFRS 9 are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized in the income statement. The Group presents revenues and expenses related to commodity trading net in the line Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading.

2.17. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, current accounts with banks and short-term bank notes with a maturity of 6 months or less.

2.18. Financial Assets Restricted in Use

Restricted balances of cash and other financial assets, which are shown as restricted funds (see Note 4), relate to funding of nuclear decommissioning liabilities, mining reclamation and damages, deposits for waste storage reclamation and cash guarantees given to transaction partners. The non-current classification is based on the expected timing of the release of the funds to the Group.

2.19. Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract asset is the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Group has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time (for example, the Group's future performance).

Contract liability is the Group's obligation to transfer goods or provide services to a customer for which the Group has received consideration from the customer.

Contract assets where work is in progress (consisting of cost incurred plus recognized profits) are presented on the balance sheet net of received billings and advances as a net asset or a net liability.

Contract assets and liabilities are presented in the line Other current assets, net and Other short-term liabilities.

2.20. Materials and Supplies

Purchased inventories are valued at actual cost, using the weighted average method. Costs of purchased inventories comprise expenses which have been incurred in respect of the acquisition of materials and supplies including transportation costs. When consumed, inventories are charged to income or capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment. Work-in-progress is valued at actual cost. Costs of inventories produced internally include direct material and labor costs. Obsolete inventories are reduced to their realizable value by a provision charged to the income statement.

2.21. Fossil Fuel Stocks

Fossil fuel stocks are stated at actual cost using weighted average cost method.

2.22. Income Taxes

The provision for corporate tax is calculated in accordance with the tax regulations of the states of residence of the Group companies and is based on the income or loss reported under local accounting regulations, adjusted for appropriate permanent and temporary differences from taxable income. Income taxes are calculated on an individual company basis as the Czech tax laws do not permit consolidated tax returns. For companies located in the Czech Republic income taxes are provided at a rate of 19% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, from income before income taxes after adjustments for certain items which are not deductible, or taxable, for taxation purposes. The Czech corporate income tax rate enacted for 2020 and on is 19%.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized regardless of when the temporary difference is likely to reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • where the deferred tax liability arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:

  • when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the reported net income nor taxable profit or loss
  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint-ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities of Group companies are not offset in the balance sheet.

Current tax and deferred tax are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged, in the same or a different period, directly to equity.

Change in the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities due to change in tax rate is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items previously charged or credited to equity.

2.23. Long-term Debt

Borrowings are initially recognized at the amount of the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, the difference between net proceeds and redemption value is being recognized in the net income over the life of the borrowings as interest expense.

Transaction costs include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges.

The carrying amount of long-term debt, which is hedged against the changes in its fair value, is adjusted by the changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged risk. The changes in the fair value of the hedged long-term debt are recognized in profit or loss and are included in the income statement line Other financial expenses or Other financial income. The adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged long-term debt in a fair value hedge is subsequently amortized to profit or loss using the effective interest rate method.

2.24. Nuclear Provisions

The Group has recognized provisions for its obligations to decommission its nuclear power plants at the end of their operating lives, to store the related spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive waste initially on an interim basis and provision for its obligation to provide financing for subsequent permanent storage of spent fuel and irradiated parts of reactors (see Note 20.1).

The provisions recognized represent the best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the present obligation at the current balance sheet date. Such cost estimates, expressed at current price levels at the date of the estimate, are discounted at December 31, 2019 and 2018 using a long-term real rate of interest to take into account the timing of payments in amount of 0.70% and 1.25% per annum, respectively. The initial discounted cost amounts are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over the period when the nuclear power plants generate electricity. Each year, the provisions are increased to reflect the accretion of discount and to accrue an estimate for the effects of inflation, with the charges being presented in the income statement on the line Interest on provisions. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the estimate for the effect of expected inflation rate is 1.50% and 1.25%, respectively.

The decommissioning process is expected to continue for approximately a fifty-year period subsequent to the final operation of the plants. It is currently anticipated that the permanent storage facility for spent nuclear fuel will become available in 2065 and the process of final disposal of the spent nuclear fuel will then continue until approximately 2090. While the Group has made its best estimate in establishing its nuclear provisions, because of potential changes in technology as well as safety and environmental requirements, plus the actual time scale to complete decommissioning and fuel storage activities, the ultimate provision requirements could vary significantly from the Group's current estimates.

Changes in a decommissioning liability and in liability for final storage of spent nuclear fuel that result from a change in the current best estimate of timing and/or amount of cash flows required to settle the obligation or from a change in the discount rate are added to (or deducted from) the amount recognized as the related asset. However, to the extent that such a treatment would result in a negative asset, the effect of the change is recognized in the income for the current period.

2.25. Provisions for Decommissioning and Reclamation of Mines and Mining Damages

The Group has recognized provisions for obligations to decommission and reclaim mines at the end of their operating lives (see Note 20.2). The provisions recognized represent the best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the present obligation at the current balance sheet date. Such cost estimates, expressed at current price levels, are discounted at December 31, 2019 and 2018 using a long-term real rate of interest to take into account the timing of payments in amount of 0.70% and 1.25% per annum, respectively. The initial discounted cost amounts are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over the lives of the mines. Each year, the provisions are increased to reflect the accretion of discount and to accrue an estimate for the effects of inflation, with the charges being presented in the income statement on the line Interest on provisions. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the estimate for the effect of expected inflation rate is 1.50% and 1.25%, respectively.

Changes in a decommissioning liability that result from a change in the current best estimate of timing and/or amount of cash flows required to settle the obligation or from a change in the discount rate are added to (or deducted from) the amount recognized as the related asset. However, to the extent that such a treatment would result in a negative asset, the effect of the change is recognized in the income for the current period.

2.26. Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources

Expenditures on exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources are charged to expense when incurred.

2.27. Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date and requires evaluation of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the arrangement conveys the right to use the asset.

The Group doesn't apply the standard IFRS 16 to leases of intangible assets, but the Group has identified contracts for which an intangible asset from a right-of-use have been recognized. These are the cases where the Group acquires the right to place advertising on a building or other tangible asset.

2.27.1. Group as a Lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

a) Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g. changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The Group estimates the incremental borrowing rate using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary's stand-alone credit rating).

For contracts that are concluded for an indefinite period, the Group applies judgement for determination of the expected lease period.

b) Right-of-use assets

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Depreciation
period
(years)
Lands 4–34
Buildings 1–37
Vehicles, machinery and equipment 1–12
Inventory and other tangible assets 8–10

2.27.2. Group as a Lessor

The Group leases out its tangible assets including own tangibles and right-of-use assets. The Group has classified the leases as financial or operating leases. Operating leases are the leases, in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risk and rewards incidental to ownership of an assets.

Rental income arising from operating lease is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and included in revenue in the income statement due to its operating nature.

For the leases classified as financial leases the Group recognizes net investment in the lease measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of net investment in the lease, the Group uses the interest rate implicit in the lease. In the case of a sublease, if the interest rate implicit in the sublease is not readily determined, the Group uses the discount rate used for the head lease.

2.28. Treasury Shares

Treasury shares are presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from equity. The acquisition of treasury shares is presented in the statement of equity as a reduction in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the income statement on the sale, issuance, or cancellation of treasury shares. Consideration received is presented in the financial statements as an addition to equity.

2.29. Share Options

Members of Board of Directors and selected managers have been granted options to purchase common shares of the Company. Expense related to the share option plan was measured on the date of the grant by reference to the fair value of the share options granted. The expense is accrued over the vesting period of the equity instruments granted. The expense recognized reflects the best estimate of the number of share options, which will ultimately vest.

2.30. Translation of Foreign Currencies

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Czech crowns (CZK), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement, except when deferred in equity for qualifying cash flow hedges.

Translation differences on debt securities and other monetary financial assets measured at fair value are included in foreign exchange gains and losses. Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equity instruments held for trading are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on equity securities available-for-sale are included in equity.

The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. The income statements items of foreign subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates for the year. The exchange differences arising on the retranslation are taken directly to other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign entity, accumulated exchange differences are recognized in the income statement as a component of the gain or loss on disposal.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and are translated at the closing exchange rate.

Exchange rates used as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 for the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were as follows:

2019 2018
CZK per 1 EUR 25.410 25.725
CZK per 1 USD 22.621 22.466
CZK per 1 PLN 5.970 5.980
CZK per 1 BGN 12.992 13.153
CZK per 1 RON 5.313 5.516
CZK per 100 JPY 20.844 20.447
CZK per 1 TRY 3.805 4.247

2.31. Non-current Assets Held for Sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortized.

Derivatives balance comprises mainly the positive fair values of commodity trading contracts.

ČEZ, a. s. concluded two put option agreements with Vršanská uhelná a.s. in March 2013. Under these contracts the Company has the right to transfer 100% of the shares of its subsidiary Elektrárna Počerady, a.s. to Vršanská uhelná a.s. First option for the year 2016 was not exercised, second option can be exercised in 2024 for cash consideration of CZK 2 billion. The option agreement could be inactivated until December 31, 2019, which the Group did not apply, which results in the sale in 2024. The contracts represent derivatives that will be settled by the delivery of unquoted equity instrument. Elektrárna Počerady, a.s. is not quoted on any market. There is significant variability in the range of reasonable fair values for this equity instrument (there is no similar power plant in the Czech Republic for sale and also no similar transaction took place) and thus it is difficult to reasonably assess the probabilities of various estimates. As a result, the fair value cannot be reliably measured. Consequently, the put option is measured at cost. There was no option premium paid on the options and therefore the cost of these instruments is zero.

In 2019 and 2018 the Group performed impairment tests of goodwill and tests of other non-current assets where there was an indication that the carrying amounts could be impaired.

The impairment loss of property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Bulgarian distribution in 2019 was recognized with regard to the fact that the assets are classified as held for sale (Note 15) and the contracted sale price is fixed and denominated in EUR (so-called "locked box") and the carrying amount of assets as of the December 31, 2019 exceeded the contracted amount. Recognized impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Polish power plants (Chorzów, Skawina) in 2019 was caused mainly by decrease in planned profitability of CEZ Skawina S.A. especially due to increase of market prices of emission rights and due to increase of the rate for discounting of the cash flows from 5.2% in 2018 to 5.8% in 2019. Recognized impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Romanian distribution in 2019 was caused mainly by the increase of the rate for discounting of the cash flows from 6.2% in 2018 to 6.4% in 2019, by increased amounts for expected renewal investments and by overall decrease in expected cash flows. The Group reversed impairment of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the cash-generating unit Romanian wind power farms in 2019 mainly due to increase in market prices of electricity and due to positive effect of the development of RON/EUR exchange rate to the green certificates classified as intangible assets. Recognized impairment of property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Elektrárna Dětmarovice in 2019 was caused mainly by the decrease in the outlook for the expected profitability of the generation source over its useful life in the region especially due to the increase in market prices of emission rights. Recognized impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit ČEZ Teplárenská in 2019 was caused mainly by the decrease in the expected profitability from the sale of heat as the cost of heat production increased. Recognized impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Energetické centrum in 2019 was caused mainly by the decrease in the expected profitability from the sale of heat.

Recognized impairment of non-current assets of cash-generating unit ČEZ Teplárenská in 2018 was caused mainly due to increase of the rate used for discounting of cash flows from 3.2% in 2017 to 4.0% in 2018. The impairment loss of property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Bulgarian distribution in 2018 was recognized with regard to the fact that the assets are classified as held for sale (Note 15) and the contracted sale price is fixed and denominated in EUR (so-called "locked box") and the carrying amount of assets as of the December 31, 2018 exceeded the contracted amount. The Group reversed impairment of the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the cash-generating unit Romanian wind power farms in 2018 mainly due to increase in market prices of electricity and due to positive effect of the development of RON/EUR exchange rate to the green certificates classified as intangible assets. Recognized impairment of property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Polish power plants in 2018 was caused mainly by decrease in expected profitability of CEZ Skawina S.A. and increased amount of capital expenditures for refurbishments. Recognized impairment of cash-generating unit ČEZ OZ uzavřený investiční fond in 2018 was caused mainly in relation to the expected decrease in future regulated revenues.

Description of selected parameters related to testing and determination of recoverable amounts

The impairment test involves determining the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, which corresponds to the value in use except for Bulgarian distribution and Bulgarian sale as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 when fair value less costs of disposal was used. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from a cash-generating unit and is assessed from a company internal perspective.

Values in use are determined based on a complex projection of cash flows or on the medium-term budget for a period of 5 years and on the anticipated development of the expected cash flows in the long-term, which is valid when the impairment test is performed. These budgets are based on the past experience, as well as on the anticipated future market trends and on the macroeconomic development of the respective region.

a. The value in use based on complex projection of cash flows of respective companies for the period covering remaining useful life of tested assets was used for determination of the recoverable amounts of the following cash-generating units:

ČEZ, a. s. generation assets are tested for any possible impairment as a single cash-generating unit with the exception of specific assets, e.g. the gas fired power plant in Počerady. Company's cash-generating unit of generation assets is characterized by portfolio management in the deployment and maintenance of various power plants and the cash flows generated from these activities.

As part of testing the recoverable value of fixed assets of the cash-generating unit of ČEZ, a. s. (hereinafter the ČEZ Value), we performed a sensitivity analysis of the test results to changes in certain key parameters of the used model – changes in wholesale power prices (hereinafter the EE Prices), changes in the discount rate used in the calculation of the present value of future cash flows and changes in CZK/EUR exchange rate.

The development of commodity prices and, in particular, the development of wholesale power prices in Germany (as German power prices have a major impact on the development of wholesale power prices in the Czech Republic) are the key assumptions used for the ČEZ Value model. The developments of wholesale prices are primarily determined by the EU political decisions, the development of global demand and supply of commodities and the technological progress.

The development of EE price is influenced by a number of external factors, including, in particular, changes in the structure and availability of generation capacity in the Czech Republic and neighboring countries, the macroeconomic development of the Central European region and the regulation of the energy sector in the EU and Germany (fundamental impacts of premature decommissioning of German nuclear power plants in 2020–2022 and impacts of the EU approved climate and energy targets for 2030) and also by targets of the Czech Republic State Energy Concept. The model was constructed for a period adequate to the useful life of the power plants, i.e. for a period that significantly exceeds the period for which commodities, including wholesale power price contracts, are traded on public liquid markets. In addition, the power market is subject to structural changes (the Market Design) and major industry regulation; consequently, complete abandonment of market-based power pricing mechanisms and implementation of alternative, centrally regulated payments for the availability and supply of power plants within the period of useful life of the power plants is actually possible.

With respect to the fact that we are using a long-term model, there are certain internal factors and assumptions that affect the ČEZ Value sensitivity to the development of power prices, such as varying deployment of the generation portfolio depending on the development of power prices, emission allowances and variable generation costs and, in a longer perspective, also the development of fixed costs reflecting the development of the power plants gross margin.

The sensitivity test results reflect expert estimates of the status and development of the above factors in the period of the model and the status of commercial securing of the generation portfolio as at December 31, 2019.

The test considers long-term EE prices at the level used to prepare Company's business plan for 2020–2024. The plan was prepared in the fourth quarter 2019 whereas the plan was based on the active market parameters observed in August and September 2019 (power prices on EEX energy exchange in Germany, prices on PXE energy exchange in the Czech Republic, price of CO2 emission rights, FX rate CZK/EUR, interest rates etc.). There is a liquidity for power contracts traded on EEX for the period covering the horizon of the business plan and with regard to links between German and Czech power transmission network, the EEX prices are basic market price indicator for EE prices in the Czech Republic. For the purposes of the sensitivity analysis, the input EE prices, emission rights prices and foreign exchange rates were applied to the relevant opened positions of the Company.

A change of the assumed EE prices as per the models by 1%, with other parameters remaining unchanged, would have an impact of approximately CZK 7.8 billion on the ČEZ Value test results. Future cash flows of the model were discounted using a 4.1% rate. A change of 0.1 percentage point in the discount rate, with other parameters remaining unchanged, would change the ČEZ Value by approximately CZK 5.1 billion. A change of 1% in the CZK/EUR exchange rate, with other parameters remaining unchanged, would result in a change of approximately CZK 6.7 billion in the ČEZ Value.

The cash flow projections of Romanian wind power farms are based on approved renewable energy support in the form of granted green certificates and a discount rate of 6.6%. The projection of the cash flows includes assumption of receiving one green certificate as approved by Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority ANRE. The recovery of deferred green certificates and other green certificates classified as intangible assets is expected till 2028. One of the main factors influencing the value of future cash flows is the price of green certificates. Current value of the green certificate in the model is EUR 29.4, which is the floor price set by regulation. Change of the discount rate by 1 percentage point, all other variables held constant, would result in change of value in use by approximately CZK 0.8 billion.

The generation sources in Poland (power plants Chorzów and Skawina) also belong among tested non-current assets where cash flow projections covering remaining useful life were used and the future cash flows were discounted using rate of 5.8%.

b. The value in use derived from the projection of cash flows based on financial budget for a period of 5 years and on the expected future development of cash flows generated from the respective assets was applied when determining the recoverable amount of the following cash-generating units:

The discount rate of 3.3% was used for Czech distribution. Cash flows beyond the five-year period for Czech distribution were based on the terminal value of regulatory asset base.

The discount rate of 3.7% was used for Energotrans and ČEZ Teplárenská. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using 2.0% growth rate for Energotrans and using 2.5% growth rate ČEZ Teplárenská.

The discount rate of 3.7% was used for Energetické centrum. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using 2.0% growth rate.

The discount rate of 4.1% was used for companies of Elevion Group and Kofler Energies Group. There is no growth rate considered for cash flows beyond five-year period.

The discount rate of 6.4% was used for Romanian distribution. Cash flows beyond the five-year period for Romanian distribution were based on the terminal value of regulatory asset base. Change of the discount rate by 1 percentage point, all other variables held constant, would result in change of value in use by approximately CZK 1.6 billion.

c. The calculations of value in use for all cash-generating units are most sensitive to the following assumptions:

Gross margins – Gross margins are based on experience from historical trends in the preceding periods, current outlook of market and non-market parameters, eventually with regard to operational efficiency improvements. Gross margins are affected especially by wholesale electricity prices, prices of emission rights and prices of green and similar certificates.

Raw materials price inflation – Estimates are obtained from published indices for the countries from which materials are sourced, as well as data relating to specific commodities. Forecast figures are used if data is available, otherwise past actual raw material price movements have been used as an indicator of future price movements.

Discount rate – Discount rates reflect management's estimate of the risk specific to each unit. The basis used to determine the value assigned is weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of the related subsidiaries.

Estimated growth rate – The basis used to determine the value assigned to estimated growth rate is the anticipated future development of the market, gross domestic product, nominal wages and interest rates and the forecast of regulatory environment, where subsidiaries conduct the business.

Based on calculation of recoverable amount from future cash flows a provision in the amount of CZK 1,362 million was recognized as of December 31, 2019. Because the Group's total cumulative share on losses of Akcez group did not exceeded the amount of the guarantee provided as at December 31, 2019, the Group recognized its share on losses of Akcez group in full (in the statement of income included in the line Share of profit (loss) from associates and joint-ventures).

Due to the development of Turkey's macroeconomic and political situation leading to a further weakening of the Turkish currency (TRY) the risk of potential obligation in case of claim from guarantees provided by the Group increased in connection with increased probability of lack of future cash flows to settle all liabilities of Akcez group. Based on calculation of recoverable amount from future cash flows a provision in the amount of CZK 908 million was recognized as of December 31, 2018. Because the Group's total cumulative share on losses of Akcez group did not exceeded the amount of the guarantee provided as at December 31, 2018, the Group recognized its share on losses of Akcez group in full (in the statement of income included in the line Share of profit (loss) from associates and joint-ventures). As of December 31, 2018, the liability in the amount of CZK 589 million was recorded on the balance sheet and the Group recognized additional provision in the amount of CZK 319 million (in the statement of income on the line Impairment of financial assets).

In 2017 the share on losses of joint-venture Akenerji Elektrik Üretim A.S. exceeded the carrying amount of Group's investment in this joint-venture. The Group has made no obligations on behalf of Akenerji Elektrik Üretim A.S., so therefore the Group discontinued of using equity method of accounting as of December 31, 2017 (Note 2.2.3). The amount of unrecognized share of the Group on losses of Akenerji Group amounted to CZK 3,666 million as of December 31, 2018.

15. Assets and Associated Liabilities Classified as Held for Sale

On February 23, 2018, a sales contract for the sale of interests in Bulgarian companies CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria AD (including its interest in CEZ ICT Bulgaria EAD), CEZ Trade Bulgaria EAD, CEZ Bulgaria EAD, CEZ Elektro Bulgaria AD, Free Energy Project Oreshets EAD and Bara Group EOOD was signed. The requirements of standard IFRS 5 to classify the assets as held for sale were met by granting prior consent to the transaction by the supervisory board of ČEZ, a. s. which took place on February 22, 2018. Following the refusal of the transaction by the Bulgarian anti-trust authority, the transaction could not be carried out.

On June 20, 2019, a sales contract for the sale of the above-mentioned interests in Bulgarian companies was signed with the company Eurohold AD. The transaction is a subject to approval by the Bulgarian anti-trust authority and the Bulgarian Energy Regulatory Office.

On October 24, 2019, Bulgarian anti-trust authority refused the transaction for the sale of Bulgarian assets to the company Eurohold. CEZ Group filed an administrative action against this decision and is considering further legal steps that will protect the interest of CEZ Group. The sales contract from June 20, 2019, remains in force, as well as the intention to sell these assets to company Eurohold.

As of December 31, 2019, the Group performed an impairment test for any potential impairment loss related to assets held for sale reflecting the contractual sales price of EUR 335 million. As a result of the test, there was an impairment in the amount of CZK 1,589 million, which was presented in the statement of income on the line Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (Note 7).

If the intention to sell should be abandoned in the future, or the sale should no longer be highly probable in the next twelve months respectively, CEZ Group does not expect negative effects on net income caused by the reclassification from assets held for sale. On hypothetical reclassification from assets held for sale as of December 31, 2019, net income for the year 2019 would be increased by CZK 116 million due to partial reversal of previously recognized impairment.

The assets classified as held for sale and associated liabilities at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (in CZK millions):

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions.

The Group primarily monitors capital using the ratio of net debt to EBITDA. Considering the current structure and stability of cash flow and the development strategy, the goal of the Group is the level of this ratio in range 2.5 to 3.0. In addition, the Group also monitors capital using a total debt to total capital ratio. The Group's policy is to keep the total debt to total capital ratio below 50% in the long term.

EBITDA consists of income before income taxes and other income (expenses) plus depreciation and amortization, plus impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and less gain (or loss) on sale of property, plant and equipment. The Group includes within total debt the long-term and short-term interest bearing loans and borrowings. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid financial assets. Highly liquid financial assets consist for capital management purposes of short-term and long-term debt financial assets and short-term and long-term bank deposits. Total capital is total equity attributable to equity holders of the parent plus total debt. The items related to assets classified as held for sale, which are presented separately on the balance sheet, are always included in these calculations.

The calculation and evaluation of the ratios is done using consolidated figures (in CZK millions):

18. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models, as appropriate.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Current Investments

The carrying amount of cash and other current financial assets approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Securities Held for Trading

The fair values of equity and debt securities that are held for trading are estimated based on quoted market prices.

Non-current Debt and Equity Financial Assets

The fair values of non-current debt and equity financial assets, which are publicly traded on active markets, are determined based on quoted market prices. The fair values of non-current debt and equity financial assets, which are not publicly traded on active markets, are determined using appropriate valuation models.

Short-term Receivables and Payables

The carrying amount of receivables and payables approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Short-term Loans

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short period to maturity of those instruments.

Long-term Debt

The fair value of long-term debt is based on the quoted market price for the same or similar issues or on the current rates available for debt with the same maturity profile. The carrying amount of long-term debt and other payables with variable interest rates approximates their fair values.

Derivatives

The fair value of derivatives is based upon mark to market valuations.

Carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of financial assets (except for derivatives) at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (in CZK millions):

2019 2018

18.1. Fair Value Hierarchy

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique: Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable

market data.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

There were no transfers between the levels of financial instruments at fair value in 2019 and 2018.

As at December 31, 2019, the fair value hierarchy was the following (in CZK millions):

Assets measured at fair value: Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally large power and utility groups and financial institutions with high credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly commodity forward and futures contracts, foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and options. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations and option pricing models (e.g. Black-Scholes). The models incorporate various inputs including the forward rate curves of the underlying commodity, foreign exchange spot and forward rates and interest rate curves.

The following table shows roll forward of the financial assets measured at fair value – Level 3, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (in CZK millions):

The main investment in the portfolio Equity financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is 15% interest in the company Veolia Energie ČR, a.s. (Note 5). Equity instruments of the company are not quoted on any market. Fair value at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was determined using available public EBITDA data and the usual range of 8 to 10 EBITDA multiples which corresponds to the transactions observed on the market for acquisition of the 100% interest before the adjustment for outstanding debt. The fair value at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was determined using 9 EBITDA multiple as the best estimate of the fair value.

Equity financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include investments of the CEZ Group's investment fund in the company Inven Capital, SICAV, a.s. (Note 5). The fair value of the investments included in this portfolio was determined at 31 December 2019 and 2018 by valuator's appraisal. The fair value is stated especially with regard to capital contributions and to other forms of financing made by the co-investors recently. In addition, the valuation takes into account further developments and eventual subsequent significant events, such as received bids for redemption.

18.2. Offsetting of Financial Instruments

1) Other financial instruments consist of invoices due from derivative trading and are included in Trade receivables, net or Trade payables.

2) Collaterals paid are included in Trade receivables, net and collaterals received are included in Trade payables.

When trading with derivative instruments, ČEZ enters into the EFET and ISDA framework contracts. These contracts generally allow mutual offset of receivables and payables upon the premature termination of agreement. The reason for premature termination is insolvency or non-fulfillment of agreed terms by the counterparty. The right to mutual offset is either embedded in the framework contract or results from the security provided. There is CSA (Credit Support Annex) concluded with some counterparties defining the permitted limit of exposure. When the limit is exceeded, there is a transfer of cash reducing exposure below an agreed level. Cash security (collateral) is also included in the final offset.

The information about offset of unbilled electricity supplied to retail customers with advances received is included in Note 14 and 23. The information about offset of construction contracts and related billings and advances received is included in Note 14.

Short-term derivative assets are included in the balance sheet in Other current financial assets, net, long-term derivative assets in Other non-current financial assets, net, short-term derivative liabilities in Other short-term financial liabilities and long-term derivative liabilities in Other long-term financial liabilities.

19. Financial Risk Management

Risk Management Approach

A risk management system is being successfully developed in order to protect the Group's value while taking the level of risk acceptable for the shareholders. In the Group, the risk is defined as a potential difference between the actual and the expected (planned) developments and is measured by means of the extent of such difference in CZK and the likelihood with which such a difference may occur.

A risk capital concept is applied within the Group. The concept allows the setting of basic cap for partial risk limits and, in particular, the unified quantification of all kinds of risks. The value of aggregate annual risk limit (Profit@Risk) is approved by the Board of Directors based on the Risk Management Committee proposal for every financial year. The proposed limit value is derived from historical volatility of profit, revenues and costs of the Group (the top-down method). The approved value in CZK is set on the basis of a 95% confidence level and expresses a maximum profit decrease, which is the Group willing to take in order to reach the planned annual profit.

The bottom-up method is used for setting and updating the Risk frames. The Risk frames include the definition of risk and departments/units of the Group for which the frame is obligatory; definition of rules and responsibilities for risk management; permitted instruments and methods of risk management and actual risk limits, including a limit which expresses the share in the annual Profit@Risk limit.

The main Business Plan market risks are quantified in the Group (EBITDA@Risk based on MonteCarlo simulation in Y+1 to Y+5 horizon). The market risks are actively managed through gradual electricity sales and emission allowances' purchases in the following 6-year horizon, closed long-term contracts for electricity sale and emission allowances purchase and the FX and IR risk hedging in mediumterm horizon. In Business Plan horizon, the risk management is also based on Debt Capacity concept which enables to assess the impact of main Investment and other Activities (incl. the risk characteristics), on expected cash flow and total debt in order to maintain corporate rating.

Risk Management Organization

The supreme authority responsible for risk management in ČEZ, a. s. is the CFO, except for approval of the aggregate annual budget risk limit (Profit@Risk) within the competence of the ČEZ, a. s. Board of Directors. CFO decides, based on the recommendation of the Risk Management Committee, on the development of a system of risk management, on an overall allocation of risk capital to the individual risks and organizational units, he approves obligatory rules, responsibilities and limit structure for the management of partial risks.

The Risk Management Committee (advisory committee of CFO) continuously monitors an overall risk impact on the Group, including Group risk limits utilization, status of risks linked to Business Plan horizon, hedging strategies status, assessment of impact of Investment and other Activities on potential Group debt capacity and cash flow in order to maintain corporate rating.

Overview and Methods of Risk Management

The Group applies a unified categorization of the Group's risks which reflects the specifics of a corporate, i.e. non-banking company, and focuses on primary causes of unexpected development. The risks are divided into four basic categories listed below.

1. Market risks 2. Credit risks 3. Operation risks 4. Business risks
1.1 Financial (FX, IR) 2.1 Counterparty default 3.1 Operating 4.1 Strategic
1.2 Commodity 2.2 Supplier default 3.2 Internal change 4.2 Political
1.3 Volumetric 2.3 Settlement 3.3 Liquidity management 4.3 Regulatory
1.4 Market liquidity 3.4 Security 4.4 Reputation

From the view of risk management, the Group activities can be divided into two basic groups:

  • Activities with the unified quantification of the share of respective activity in the aggregate risk limit of the Group (i.e. using specific likelihood, it is possible to objectively determine what risk is associated with an activity/planned profit). These risks are managed by the rules and limits set by the CFO of ČEZ, a. s. based on the recommendation of the Risk Management Committee and, concurrently, in accordance with governing documents of the respective units/processes of the Group.
  • Activities whose share in the aggregate risk limit of the Group has not been quantified so far or for objective reasons. These risks are managed by the responsible owners of the relevant processes in accordance with internal governing documents of the respective units/processes of the Group.

For all risks quantified on a unified basis, a partial risk limit is set whose continuous utilization is evaluated on a monthly basis and is usually defined as a sum of the actually expected deviation of expected annual profit from the plan and the potential risk of loss on a 95% confidence. The Group's methodologies and data provide for a unified quantification of the following risks:

  • Market risks: financial (currency, interest and stock price) risks, commodity prices (electricity, emission allowances, coal, gas, crude oil), volume (volume of electricity produced by wind power plants)
  • Credit risks: financial and business counterparty risk and electricity, gas and heat end customer risk
  • Operational risks: risks of nuclear and fossil power plants operation in the Czech Republic, investment risks.

The development of the Group's quantified risks is reported to the Risk Management Committee every month through 3 regular reports: – Annual budget risks (annual Profit@Risk limit utilization)

  • Business plan risks (EBITDA@Risk based on MonteCarlo simulation)
  • Debt capacity (actual deviation from the optimal debt within Y+5 horizon, derived from rating agency requirements on debt indicators in order to preserve the ČEZ rating).

19.1. Qualitative Description of Risks Associated with Financial Instruments

Commodity Risks

The development of electricity, emission allowances, coal and gas prices is a key risk factor of the Group's value. The current system of commodity risk management is focused on (i) the margin from the own electricity production sales, i.e. from trades resulting in optimizing the sales of the Group's production and in optimizing the emission allowances position for production (the potential risk is managed on the EaR, VaR and the EBITDA@Risk bases), and (ii) the margin from the proprietary trading of commodities within the whole Group (the potential risk is managed on the VaR basis).

Market Financial Risks (currency, interest and stock price risks)

The development of foreign exchange rates, interest rates and stock prices is a significant risk factor of the Group's value. The current system of financial risk management is focused mainly on (i) the future cash flows and (ii) financial trades which are realized for the purposes of an overall risk position management in accordance with the risk limits (the potential risk is managed on the basis of VaR, EBITDA@Risk and complementary position limits). Own financial instruments (i.e. active and passive financial trades and derivative trades) are realized entirely in the context of an overall expected cash flows of the Group (including operational and investment foreign currency flows).

Credit Risks

With respect to the Group's activities managed on a centralized level, credit exposures of individual financial partners and wholesale partners are managed in accordance with individual credit limits. The individual limits are set and continuously updated according to the counterparty's credibility (in accordance with international rating and internal financial evaluation of counterparties with no international rating).

With respect to the electricity sales to end customers in the Czech Republic, the actual credibility is monitored for each business partner based on payment history (in addition, the financial standing is considered for selected partners). This credibility determines the payment conditions of partners (i.e. it indirectly determines an amount of an approved credit exposure) and also serves to quantify both the expected and the potential losses.

The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk to receivables and other financial instruments as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is the carrying value of each class of financial assets except for financial guarantees. Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group's risk management department in cooperation with Group's treasury department in accordance with the Group's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty.

In accordance with the credit risk methodology applied to the banking sector per Basel II, every month the expected and potential losses are quantified on a 95% confidence level. It means that the share of all credit risks mentioned above in the aggregate annual Profit@Risk limit is quantified and evaluated.

Liquidity Risks

The Group's liquidity risk is primarily perceived as an operational risk (risk of liquidity management) and a risk factor is the internal ability to effectively manage the future cash flows planning process in the Group and to secure the adequate liquidity and effective short-term financing (the risk is managed on a qualitative basis). The fundamental liquidity risk management (i.e. liquidity risk within the meaning for banking purposes) is covered by the risk management system as a whole. In any given period, the future deviations of the Group's expected cash flows are managed in accordance with the aggregate risk limit and in the context of the actual and the targeted debt/equity ratio of the Group.

19.2. Quantitative Description of Risks Associated with Financial Instruments

Commodity Risks

The required quantitative information on risks (i.e. a potential change of market value resulting from the effects of risk factors as at December 31) was prepared based on the assumptions given below:

  • the indicator of risk associated with financial instruments is defined as the monthly parametric VaR (95% confidence) which expresses a maximum potential decrease in fair value of contracts classified as derivatives under IFRS 9 (the underlying commodities in the Group's derivative transactions are: electricity, EUA and CER/ERU emission allowances, gas, coal ARA, Richards Bay, Newcastle and crude oil and crude oil products) on the given confidence level
  • highly probable forecasted future electricity generation sales with the delivery in the CZ power grid are included in the VAR calculation to reflect the hedging character of significant portion of the existing derivative sales of electricity with delivery in Germany
  • for the calculation of volatility and correlations (between commodity prices), the SMA (Simple Moving Average) method is applied to 60 daily time series
  • the source of market data is mainly EEX, PXE and ICE
  • the indicator VaR illustrates mainly the impact of revaluation of above-mentioned financial instruments to statement of income.

Potential impact of the above risk factors as at December 31 (in CZK millions):

2019 2018
Monthly VaR (95%) – impact of changes in commodity prices 2,361 1,974

Currency Risks

The required quantitative information on risks (i.e. a potential change of market value resulting from the effects of currency risk as at December 31) was prepared based on the assumptions given below:

  • the indicator of currency risk is defined as the monthly VaR (95% confidence)
  • for the calculation of VaR, based on volatility and internal correlations of each considered currency, the method of historical simulation VaR is applied to 90 daily historical time series
  • the relevant currency position is defined mainly as a discounted value of foreign currency cash flows from all contracted financial instruments, from expected foreign currency operational revenues and costs in 2020 and from highly probable forecasted foreign currency revenues, costs or capital expenditures that are being hedged by financial instruments etc.
  • the relevant currency positions reflect all significant foreign-currency flows of the Group companies in the monitored basket of foreign currencies
  • the source of market FX and interest rate data is mainly IS Reuters and IS Bloomberg
  • the indicator VaR illustrates mainly the impact of revaluation of above-mentioned currency position to statement of income.

Potential impact of the currency risk as at December 31 (in CZK millions):

2019 2018
Monthly currency VaR (95% confidence) 122 254

Interest Risks

For the quantification of the potential impact of the interest risk was chosen the sensitivity of the interest revenue and cost to the parallel shift of yield curves. The approximate quantification (as at December 31) was based on the following assumptions:

  • parallel shift of the yield curves (+10bp) was selected as the indicator of interest risk
  • the statement of income sensitivity is measured as an annual change of the interest revenue and cost resulting from the interest-sensitive positions as at December 31
  • the considered interest positions reflect all significant interest-sensitive positions of the Group companies
  • the source of market interest rates is mainly IS Reuters and IS Bloomberg.

Potential impact of the interest risk as at December 31 (in CZK millions):

2019 2018
IR sensitivity* to parallel yield curve shift (+10bp) (6) (6)

* Negative result denotes higher increase in interest costs than in interest revenues.

Credit Exposure

The Group is exposed to credit risk arising on all financial assets presented on the balance sheet and from provided guarantees. Credit exposure from provided guarantees not recorded on balance sheet at December 31 (in CZK millions):

2019 2018
Guarantees off balance sheet provided to joint-ventures* 1,945

2) Maximum amount of the guarantee is allocated to the earliest period in which the guarantee could be called.

The committed credit facilities available to the Group as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to CZK 26.9 billion and CZK 15.8 billion, respectively. In addition, in December 2019, the Company signed a committed loan facility agreement with the European Investment Bank to support financing of the grid renewal and further development program in the Czech Republic up to EUR 330 million, i.e. CZK 8.4 billion, which was not drawn as of December 31, 2019.

19.3. Hedge Accounting

The Group enters into cash flow hedges of future highly probable cash inflows from the sales denominated in EUR against the currency risk. The hedged cash flows are expected to occur in the period from 2020 to 2026. The hedging instruments as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are the EUR denominated liabilities from the issued Eurobonds and bank loans in the total amount of EUR 5.1 billion and EUR 4.0 billion, respectively, and currency forward contracts and swaps. The fair value of these derivative hedging instruments (currency forward contracts and swaps) amounted to CZK 695 million and CZK 178 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Group also enters into cash flow hedges of highly probable future sales of electricity in the Czech Republic from 2020 to 2025. The hedging instruments are the futures and forward contracts electricity sales in Germany. The fair value of these derivative hedging instruments amounted to CZK (1,302) million and CZK (20,236) million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Group applied cash flow hedges of future highly probable purchases of emission allowances which had been expected to occur in 2018. The hedging instruments were the futures contracts for the purchase of allowances equivalent to 6.0 million tons of CO2 emissions. The final settlement of the purchase of these hedged emission allowances was in December 2018.

In 2019 and 2018 the amounts removed from equity in respect of cash flow hedges were recognized in profit or loss and included in the lines Sales of electricity, heat, gas and coal, Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading, Other financial expenses and Other financial income and on the balance sheet in the lines Intangible assets, net and Emission rights. In 2019 and 2018 the Group recognized in profit or loss the ineffectiveness that arises from cash flow hedges in the amount of CZK 503 million and CZK (29) million, respectively. The ineffectiveness in 2019 and 2018 was mainly caused by the fact that the hedged cash flows are no more highly probable to occur.

20. Provisions

20.1. Nuclear Provisions

The Company operates two nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plant Dukovany consists of four units which were put into service from 1985 to 1987. Nuclear power plant Temelín has two units which have started commercial operation in 2002 and 2003. A Nuclear Act which defines obligations for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities and the disposal of radioactive waste and spent fuel (disposal). The Nuclear Act requires that all nuclear parts of plant and equipment be decommissioned following the end of the plant's operating life. For the purpose of accounting for the nuclear provisions, it is assumed that the end of operation will be 2037 for Dukovany and 2052 for Temelín. A 2018 Dukovany and a 2019 Temelín decommissioning cost studies estimate that nuclear decommissioning will cost CZK 28.6 billion and CZK 22.4 billion, respectively. The Company makes contributions to a restricted bank accounts in the amount of the nuclear provisions recorded under the Nuclear Act. These funds can be invested in government bonds in accordance with legislation. These restricted financial assets are shown in the balance sheet as part of Restricted financial assets, net (see Note 4).

The Ministry of Industry and Trade established the Radioactive Waste Repository Authority (RAWRA) as the central organizer and operator of facilities for the final disposal of radioactive waste and spent fuel. The RAWRA operates, supervises and is responsible for disposal facilities and for disposal of radioactive waste and spent fuel therein. The activities of the RAWRA are financed through a nuclear account funded by the originators of radioactive waste. Contribution to the nuclear account is stated by Nuclear Act at 55 CZK per MWh produced at nuclear power plants. In 2019 and 2018, the payments to the nuclear account amounted to CZK 1,663 million and CZK 1,646 million, respectively. The originator of radioactive waste and spent fuel directly covers all costs associated with interim storage of radioactive waste and spent fuel.

The Group has established provisions as described in Note 2.24, to recognize its estimated liabilities for decommissioning and spent fuel storage. The following is a summary of the provisions for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (in CZK millions):

Accumulated provisions

Effect of change in estimate added to fixed assets 10,478 865 11,343
Current cash expenditures (638) (1,663) (2,301)
Balance at December 31, 2019 34,868 8,657 32,237 75,762

The current cash expenditures for the long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel represent payments to the state controlled nuclear account and the expenditures for interim storage represent mainly the purchase of interim fuel storage containers and other related equipment.

In 2019 the Group recorded the change in estimate for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel in connection with the change in expectations of future storage cost and change in discount rate, the change in estimate in provision for nuclear decommissioning due to the update of the expert decommissioning study for nuclear power plant in Temelín and change in discount rate and the change in long-term spent fuel storage in connection with the modification of the expected output of the nuclear power plants and change in discount rate.

In 2018 the Group recorded the change in estimate for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel in connection with the change in expectations of future storage cost, the change in estimate in provision for nuclear decommissioning due to the update of the expert decommissioning study for nuclear power plant in Dukovany and the change in long-term spent fuel storage in connection with the modification of the expected output of the nuclear power plants.

The actual decommissioning and spent fuel storage costs could vary substantially from the above estimates because of new regulatory requirements, changes in technology, increased costs of labor, materials and equipment and/or the actual time required to complete all decommissioning, disposal and storage activities.

20.2. Provision for Mine Reclamation and Mining Damages and Waste Storage Reclamation

The following table shows the movements of provisions for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (in CZK millions):

Mine reclamation

Waste storage
Balance at January 1, 2018 7,922 1,002
Discount accretion and effect of inflation 193 25
Provision charged in profit or loss 251
Effect of change in estimate added to (deducted from) fixed assets 239 (71)
Current cash expenditures (216) (33)
Reversal of provision (5)

Effect of change in estimate added to fixed assets 748 133
Current cash expenditures (313) (49)
Balance at December 31, 2019 9,372 807

The provision for decommissioning and reclamation of mines and mining damages was recorded by Severočeské doly a.s., a mining subsidiary of ČEZ. Severočeské doly a.s. operates open pit coal mines and is responsible for decommissioning and reclamation of the mines as well as for damages caused by the operations of the mines. These provisions have been calculated using the best estimates of the expenditures required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. Current cash expenditures represent cash payments for current reclamation of mining area and settlement of mining damages. Change in estimate represents change in provision as result of updated cost estimates in the current period, mainly due to changes in expected prices of reclamation activities.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the aggregate number of share options granted to members of Board of Directors and selected managers was 1,651 thousand and 1,904 thousand, respectively.

Members of the Board of Directors and selected managers were entitled until December 31, 2019 to receive share options based on the conditions stipulated in the share option agreement. Members of the Board of Directors and selected managers were granted certain quantity of share options each year of their tenure according to rules of the share option plan until the share option plan was terminated as of December 31, 2019. The exercise price for the granted options was based on the average quoted market price of the shares on the regulated exchange in the Czech Republic during one-month period preceding the grant date each year. Options granted could be exercised at the earliest 2 years and latest 3.5 years after each grant date. Option right is limited so that the profit per share option will not exceed 100% of exercise price.

Beginning on January 1, 2020, the new program of long-term performance bonus has been started, replacing the options program. New options will no longer be granted and the existing granted options as at December 31, 2019 in the number of 1,651 thousand are preserved, i.e. after a proportional reduction of the original annual allocations in 2019. The program of long-term performance bonus is based on performance units that will be allocated to each beneficiary every year. The number of performance units allocated is based on the defined yearly value of a given long-term bonus and the price of stocks before the allocation. The Supervisory Board sets out the performance indicators for each year's allocation of the performance units. The defined performance indicators will be evaluated by the Supervisory Board and number of performance units allocated to a beneficiary will be adjusted accordingly. Then a two-year holding period will follow. The long-term performance bonus will be paid three years after the initial allocation, and the amount will be based on the adjusted number of performance units as well as on the stock price at the end of the holding period and the amount of dividends distributed during the holding period.

The following table shows changes during 2019 and 2018 in the number of granted share options and the weighted average exercise price of these options:

Options forfeited (35) (35) 536.96
Share options at December 31, 20192) 1,279 372 1,651 513.02

1) In 2019 and 2018 the weighted average market share price at the date of the exercise for the options exercised was CZK 542.81 and CZK 539.42, respectively. 2) At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the number of exercisable options was 540 thousand and 390 thousand, respectively. The weighted average exercise price

of the exercisable options was CZK 455.32 per share and CZK 443.84 per share at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

3) The original annual allocations in 2019 were proportionally reduced on the termination of the share options plan at December 31, 2019 to correspond to the number of options determined based on the number of days remaining from the date of the relevant 2019 allocation until the end of the share option plan. The presented number corresponds to the total number of options granted in 2019 after this reduction.

The fair value of the options is estimated on the date of grant using the binomial option-pricing model. Because these stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of stock options.

At the grant dates, the underlying assumptions and the resulting fair values per option were as follows:

2019 2018
Weighted average assumptions:
Dividend yield 3.6% 2.7%
Expected volatility 15.7% 18.1%
Mid-term risk-free interest rate 1.6% 0.9%
Expected life (years) 1.4 1.4
Grant-date share price (CZK per share) 533.7 543.4
Weighted average grant-date fair value of options (CZK per 1 option) 36.3 41.4

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of the exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

As at December 31, 2019 and 2018 the exercise prices of outstanding options were in the following ranges (in thousand pieces):

2019 2018
CZK 400–500 per share 540 1,124
CZK 500–600 per share 1,111 780
Total 1,651 1,904

The options granted which were outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 had an average remaining contractual life of 1.9 years and 2.3 years, respectively.

37. Segment Information

The Group reports its result using six reportable operating segments:

  • Generation Traditional Energy
  • Generation New Energy
  • Distribution
  • Sales
  • Mining
  • Support Services

The segments are defined across the countries that CEZ Group operates. Segment is a functionally autonomous part of CEZ Group that serves a single part of the value chain in the energy sector and is within the purview of individual members of the ČEZ, a. s. Board of Directors.

A change in the classification of CEZ Group companies into operating segments was made with effect from January 1, 2019. In particular, most companies from the "Other" segment were transferred to different segments and the segment was renamed to "Support Services". The original segmentation primarily reflected core business activities of the respective company; now more account is taken of mutual business relations making up the overall segment chain. For example, SD - Kolejová doprava (a service subsidiary of Severočeské doly) was transferred from the "Other" segment to the "Mining" segment. The segment information for previous period of the year 2018 has been adjusted to provide fully comparative information on the same basis.

The Group accounts for intersegment revenues and transfers as if the revenues or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices or where the regulation applies at regulated prices.

In segment reporting, IFRS 16 is applied to external leases from the Group's perspective, but it is not applied to leases between individual operating segments, although in some cases the asset is leased to another segment internally.

The Group evaluates the performance of its segments based on EBITDA (see Note 16).

The following tables summarize segment information by operating segments for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (in CZK millions):

These figures do not include the expected acquisitions of subsidiaries, associates and joint-ventures and any specific development investments, whose implementation will depend on the specific future market conditions. New investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint-ventures will depend on the number of future investment opportunities, for which the Group will be a successful bidder and also considering the recoverability of these investments.

The construction programs are subject to periodic reviews and actual construction may vary from the above estimates. At December 31, 2019 significant purchase commitments were outstanding in connection with the construction program.

Insurance Matters

The Nuclear Act sets limits for liabilities for nuclear damages so that the operator of nuclear installations for energy generation purposes is liable for up to CZK 8 billion per incident. The Nuclear Act limits the liability for damage caused by other nuclear installations and activities (such as transportation) to CZK 2 billion. The Nuclear Act also requires an operator to insure its liability connected with the operation of a nuclear power plant up to a minimum of CZK 2 billion and up to a minimum of CZK 300 million for other activities (such as transportation). The Company concluded the above-mentioned insurance policies with company Generali Česká pojišťovna a.s. (representing Czech Nuclear Insurance Pool) and European Liability Insurance for the Nuclear Industry. The Company has obtained all insurance policies with minimal limits as required by the law.

The Group also maintains the insurance policies covering the assets of its coal-fired, hydroelectric, CCGT and nuclear power plants and general third party liability insurance in connection with main operations of the Group.

These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issue on March 16, 2020.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of ČEZ, a. s.:

Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CEZ Group (hereinafter also the "Group") prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS EU"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2019, and the consolidated statement of income, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. For details of the Group, see Notes 1, 8 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of CEZ Group as at 31 December 2019, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the IFRS EU.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Act on Auditors, Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council, and Auditing Standards of the Chamber of Auditors of the Czech Republic, which are International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), as amended by the related application clauses. Our responsibilities under this law and regulation are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Act on Auditors and the Code of Ethics adopted by the Chamber of Auditors of the Czech Republic and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of goodwill and other assets

The Group conducts annual impairment tests of goodwill and other assets' balances. The impairment test involves determining the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit as a whole or individual assets, which corresponds to the value in use or selling price less cost to sell. Value in use is determined on the basis of an enterprise valuation model and is assessed from the Group's internal perspective.

These calculations of potential impairment amounts are a key audit matter as there is a significant uncertainty in relation to regulatory matters such as distribution fees and government support for renewable energy, which are, together with other significant assumptions included in the estimated future cash flows, main inputs to the calculations. Main assumptions that are subject to significant estimation uncertainty are projected future wholesale electricity prices, prices of green certificates or emission allowances, market access, development of the regulatory environment and discount rates as well as the strategy of the Group. Future cash flows relate to events and actions that have not yet occurred and may not occur. Another reason for impairment to be a key audit matter is the fact that the determination of cash-generating unit is to some extent subject to management judgement.

Our procedures included assessing the assumptions and methodologies used by the Group in their value in use models and assessment of the selling price less cost to sell. We involved our internal valuation specialists in assessing the adequacy of the Group's model used for the calculation of weighted average cost of capital and we also evaluated mathematical accuracy, underlying data and assumptions used in the calculation. We evaluated main assumptions that are subject to significant estimates such as future wholesale electricity prices, prices of green certificates or emission allowances ("emission certificates"), development of the regulatory environment and compared them to those observable on the market. We compared electricity prices as well as the prices of emission certificates to the contracts, which are actively traded on the market, and we assessed reasonableness of the Group's projections of these future prices for periods, for which the market data are not available. We also discussed the assumptions with our internal valuation specialists in the respective countries.

We analyzed the budgets and future cash flows of the cash-generating units. We compared the expected developments in budgeted cash flows to the expectations presented by the management while assessing the main assumptions of the models and discussing alternatives. We also assessed the adequacy of the model used for the impairment test calculation together with the definition of the cash-generating units and mathematical accuracy of the calculations.

We also focused on whether the Group's disclosures in the consolidated financial statements in relation to the impairment of goodwill and other assets, as presented and disclosed in Note 7. Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets, are compliant with the IFRS EU.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

Due to the significance of financial instruments measured at fair value, and a high degree of judgement related to their valuation, we consider this as a key audit matter.

We involved the internal valuation specialists to assist us in performing our audit procedures. We assessed the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the valuation, data integrity, independent price verification and model approval.

For areas of higher risk and estimation, our audit procedures focused on the comparison of judgments made to market practice and reperformance of valuations over a selection of instruments, assessing the key inputs, assumptions and models used in the valuation process. We compared our results with the Group's valuation.

We also focused on whether the Group's disclosures in the consolidated financial statements in relation to the valuation of financial instruments, as presented and disclosed in Note 18. Fair Value of Financial Instruments, are compliant with the IFRS EU.

Classification of commodity contracts

The Group is entering into commodity contracts on different markets and platforms mainly in Central Europe and Germany. Commodity trading activities include trading with electricity, gas, emission allowances, oil and coal.

This is a key audit matter as the distinction between the contracts in scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, which are treated as derivatives at fair value, and "own use" contracts, which are not remeasured to fair value, might be subject to a judgement and classification patterns set by the Group. This classification depends among other factors on the terms of the contract, whether the contract is considered to have been entered into as part of ordinary business activity, whether contract requires physical delivery of the commodity, and depends on various assumptions such as expected amount of commodity to be delivered, generation capacity of the portfolio mix and prices of commodities.

We tested the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the initial recognition of the contract, consistency of the commodity contract designation and the Group's ability to deliver the physical commodity over the contractual period.

We performed audit procedures focusing on the analysis and comparison of volume of commodities physically delivered during 2019 and the volumes of the "own use" contracts portfolio. We reviewed the ability of the Group to physically deliver the contracted future "own use" sales retrospectively and prospectively and the stability of portfolio to ensure that the contracts are not reclassified during their existence.

We also focused on whether the Group's disclosures in the consolidated financial statements in relation to the commodity contracts classification, as presented and disclosed in Notes 2.16. Commodity Contracts and 26. Gains and Losses from Commodity Derivative Trading, are compliant with the IFRS EU.

Other Information

In compliance with Section 2(b) of the Act on Auditors, the other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the consolidated financial statements and auditor's report thereon. The Board of Directors of ČEZ, a. s. (hereinafter only "Board of Directors") is responsible for the other information.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. In addition, we assess whether the other information has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with applicable law or regulation, in particular, whether the other information complies with law or regulation in terms of formal requirements and procedure for preparing the other information in the context of materiality, i.e. whether any non-compliance with these requirements could influence judgments made on the basis of the other information.

Based on the procedures performed, to the extent we are able to assess it, we report that:

  • The other information describing the facts that are also presented in the consolidated financial statements is, in all material respects, consistent with the consolidated financial statements; and
  • The other information is prepared in compliance with applicable law or regulation.

In addition, our responsibility is to report, based on the knowledge and understanding of the Group obtained in the audit, on whether the other information contains any material misstatement. Based on the procedures we have performed on the other information obtained, we have not identified any material misstatement.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IFRS EU and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Audit Committee of ČEZ, a. s. (hereinafter only "Audit Committee") is responsible for overseeing the Group's consolidated financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with above regulations will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the above law or regulation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.1. Financial Statements

These separate financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU).

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, except when IFRS requires other measurement basis as disclosed in the accounting policies below.

Based on the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the Company, the functional and presentation currency has been determined to be Czech crowns (CZK).

The Company also compiled consolidated IFRS financial statements of the CEZ Group for the same period.

Explanation Added for Translation into English

These financial statements represent a translation of financial statements originally issued in Czech.

2.2. Changes in Accounting Policies

2.2.1. Adoption of New IFRS Standards in 2019

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for as follows. The Company has adopted the following new or amended and endorsed by EU IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of January 1, 2019:

IFRS 16 Leases

This standard supersedes IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard deals with accounting, measurement and presentation of leases and disclosure requirements for the notes of the financial statements for both contract parties, i.e. for customer (lessee) and for supplier (lessor). Lessees will use single accounting model for all leases (with certain exceptions). Accounting by lessor is substantially unchanged from IAS 17, except where the Company leases right-of-use assets in a sublease. Therefore, IFRS 16 does not have a material impact for leases where the Company is the lessor.

The Company applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach, under which the comparative information presented for 2018 is not restated. The Company elected to use a transition practical expedient and applied the standard only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 at the date of initial application. The Company also elected to use the recognition exemptions for lease contracts that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not contain a purchase option (short-term leases), and lease contracts for which the underlying asset is of low value (low-value assets).

On transition to IFRS 16, the Company recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and derecognized prepayments related to the leased assets. The impact on transition is summarized below (in CZK million):

Plant in service 2,524
Other current assets, net (11)
Total assets 2,513
Long-term debt including current portion 2,513
Total liability 2,513

As at December 31, 2018, the Company did not identify any lease contracts or minimum lease payments from the non-cancellable operating lease that should be disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements as at December 31, 2018.

Amendment IAS 19 Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

The Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Amendment requires entity to use updated actuarial assumptions to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the annual reporting period after a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement has occurred. The Amendment also clarifies how the accounting for a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement affects applying the asset ceiling requirements. The Amendment did not have material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Amendment IFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation

The Amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Amendment allows financial assets with prepayment features that permit or require a party to a contract either to pay or receive reasonable compensation for the early termination of the contract (so that, from the perspective of the holder of the asset there may be 'negative compensation'), to be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Amendment did not have material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Amendment IAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint-ventures

The Amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Amendment relates to whether the measurement, in particular impairment requirements, of long-term interests in associates and joint-ventures that, in substance, form part of the 'net investment' in the associate or joint-venture should be governed by IFRS 9, IAS 28 or a combination of both. The Amendment clarifies that an entity applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, before it applies IAS 28, to such long-term interests for which the equity method is not applied. In applying IFRS 9, the entity does not take account of any adjustments to the carrying amount of long-term interests that arise from applying IAS 28. The Amendment did not have material impact on the Company's financial statements.

IFRIC Interpretation 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

The Interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with earlier application permitted. The Interpretation addresses the accounting for income taxes when tax treatments involve uncertainty that affects the application of IAS 12. The Interpretation provides guidance on considering uncertain tax treatments separately or together, examination by tax authorities, the appropriate method to reflect uncertainty and accounting for changes in facts and circumstances. This Interpretation did not have material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015–2017

In December 2017, the IASB issued a collection of amendments to IAS and IFRS for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 in which they focused on areas of inconsistency in IFRSs and IASs or where the clarification of wording was required. The following standards were amended:

IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements:

The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it remeasures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to IFRS 11 clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not remeasure previously held interests in that business.

IAS 12 Income Taxes:

The amendments clarify that the income tax consequences of payments on financial instruments classified as equity should be recognized according to where the past transactions or events that generated distributable profits has been recognized.

IAS 23 Borrowing Costs:

The amendments clarify paragraph 14 of the standard that, when a qualifying asset is ready for its intended use or sale, and some of the specific borrowing related to that qualifying asset remains outstanding at that point, that borrowing is to be included in the funds that an entity borrows generally.

These improvements did not have significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

2.2.2. Adoption of New IFRS Standards in 2018

In 2018, The Company has adopted the new accounting standard IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Other changes in accounting policies in 2018, which are described in more details in the separate financial statements as at December 31, 2018, did not have material impact on the Company's financial statements.

The Company has adopted the new accounting standard IFRS 9 retrospectively, with the initial application date of January 1, 2018. As a result of the application of IFRS 9, the Company reassessed the amount of allowance provision for doubtful receivables and other assets in accordance with IFRS 9 impairment requirements, which are described in Note 2.11.4. The application of IFRS 9 standard as of January 1, 2018 reduced equity by CZK 34 million.

2.2.3. New IFRS Standards and IFRIC Interpretations either not yet Effective or not yet Adopted by the EU

The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts of the new and revised standards and interpretations that will be effective or adopted by the EU from January 1, 2020 or later. Standards and interpretations most relevant to the Company's activities are detailed below:

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint-venture

The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint-venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In December 2015 the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. These amendments are not expected to have significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021 with earlier application permitted if both IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments have also been applied. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts issued. It also requires similar principles to be applied to reinsurance contracts held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. The objective is to ensure that entities provide relevant information in a way that faithfully represents those contracts. This information gives a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that contracts within the scope of IFRS 17 have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity. The standard has not been yet endorsed by the EU. This standard is not expected to have significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards

The IASB issued the revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting on March 29, 2018. The Conceptual Framework sets out a comprehensive set of concepts for financial reporting, standard setting, guidance for preparers in developing consistent accounting policies and assistance to others in their efforts to understand and interpret the standards. IASB also issued a separate accompanying document, Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards, which sets out the amendments to affected standards in order to update references to the revised Conceptual Framework. Its objective is to support transition to the revised Conceptual Framework for companies that develop accounting policies using the Conceptual Framework when no IFRS Standard applies to a particular transaction. For preparers who develop accounting policies based on the Conceptual Framework, it is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020. This amendment is not expected to have significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

Amendment IFRS 3: Business Combinations

The IASB issued Amendment in Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3) aimed at resolving the difficulties that arise when an entity determines whether it has acquired a business or a group of assets. The Amendment is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is in the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and to asset acquisitions that occur on or after the beginning of that period, with earlier application permitted. This Amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU. This amendment is not expected to have significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

Amendments IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of 'material'

The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 with earlier application permitted. The Amendments clarify the definition of material and how it should be applied. The new definition states that, 'Information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general-purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity'. In addition, the explanations accompanying the definition have been improved. The Amendments also ensure that the definition of material is consistent across all IFRS Standards. These amendments are not expected to have significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

Amendments IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2020 and must be applied retrospectively. Earlier application is permitted. In September 2019, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, which concludes phase one of its work to respond to the effects of Interbank Offered Rates (IBOR) reform on financial reporting. Phase two will focus on issues that could affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with a risk-free interest rate (an RFR). The amendments published, deal with issues affecting financial reporting in the period before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative interest rate and address the implications for specific hedge accounting requirements in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, which require forward-looking analysis. The amendments provided temporary reliefs, applicable to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by the interest rate benchmark reform, which enable hedge accounting to continue during the period of uncertainty before the replacement of an existing interest rate benchmark with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate. There are also amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures regarding additional disclosures around uncertainty arising from the interest rate benchmark reform. These amendments are not expected to have significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

Amendments IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier application permitted. The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change existing requirements around measurement or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information that entities disclose about those items. Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments. These Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. These amendments are not expected to have significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

The Company does not expect early adoption of any of the above-mentioned standards, improvements or amendments.

2.3. Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Explanation of key assumptions is included in relevant sections of notes where significant estimates are being described.

Significant estimates are made by the Company while determining recoverable amounts for property, plant and equipment and financial assets (see Notes 3 and 5), accounting for the nuclear provisions (see Notes 2.21 and 16.1), provisions for waste storage reclamation (see Note 16.2), fair value of commodity contracts (see Notes 2.13 and 14) and financial derivatives (see Notes 2.12 and 14) and incremental borrowing rate and lease term to measure lease liability (see Notes 2.22 and 20).

2.4. Revenues and Other Income

The Company recognizes revenue from supplies of electricity, heat and gas based on contract terms. Differences between contracted amounts and actual supplies for electricity and gas are settled through the market operator.

Revenues are recognized when the Company has satisfied a performance obligation and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. The Company will recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled (after reduction for expected discounts) in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.

Sales are recognized net of value added tax.

Revenue from sale of assets is recognized when they are delivered and related significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer.

Revenue from services provided is recognized when the services are rendered.

Dividends earned on investments are recognized when the right of payment has been established.

2.5. Fuel Costs

Fuel costs are expensed as fuel is consumed. Fuel expense includes the amortization of the cost of nuclear fuel (see Note 2.8).

2.6. Interest

The Company capitalizes all interest incurred in connection with its construction program that theoretically could have been avoided if expenditures for the qualifying assets had not been made. The qualifying assets include assets, for which the construction represents a substantial period of time.

2.7. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment in value. Cost of plant in service includes purchase price, materials, labor, payroll-related costs and the cost of debt financing used during construction. The cost also includes the estimated cost of dismantling and removing the asset and restoring the site, to the extent that is recognized as a provision under IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets. Government grants received for construction of certain items of property, plant and equipment decrease the acquisition cost of the respective items.

Internally developed property, plant and equipment are recorded at their accumulated cost. The cost of maintenance, repairs, and replacement of minor items of property is charged to maintenance expense when incurred. Renewals and improvements are capitalized. Upon sale, retirement or replacement of part of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost, related accumulated depreciation and eventual impairment of the disposed item or its replaced part are derecognized from the balance sheet. Any resulting gains or losses are included in profit or loss.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company reviews the recoverable amounts of its property, plant and equipment to determine whether such amounts continue to exceed the assets' carrying values. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. Identified impairment of property, plant and equipment is recognized directly in profit or loss in the line item Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss in the line item Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

The Company depreciates the original cost of property, plant and equipment less its residual value by using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. The depreciable useful lives used for property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Useful lives
(years)
Buildings and structures 20–55
Machinery and equipment 4–37
Vehicles 8–25
Furniture and fixtures 4–15

Average depreciable lives based on the functional use of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Average life
(years)
Hydro plants
Buildings and structures 45
Machinery and equipment 12
Fossil fuel plants
Buildings and structures 39
Machinery and equipment 12
Nuclear power plant
Buildings and structures 38
Machinery and equipment 13

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

2.8. Nuclear Fuel

The Company presents nuclear fuel as part of property, plant and equipment, because its useful life exceeds 1 year. Nuclear fuel is recorded at cost, net of accumulated amortization and possible impairment in value. The nuclear fuel includes the capitalized portion of the provision for interim storage of nuclear fuel. Amortization of fuel in the reactor is based on the amount of power generated and is recognized in the income statement in the line item Fuel and emission rights. The amortization of nuclear fuel includes charges in respect of additions to the accumulated provision for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel.

2.9. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are valued at their acquisition costs and related expenses. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives using the straight-line method. The estimated useful life of intangible assets ranges from 3 to 16 years. The intangible assets' residual values, useful lives and methods of amortization are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end. Improvements are capitalized.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever facts or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount could be impaired. The recoverable amount of an intangible asset not yet available for use is tested for impairment annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. Identified impairment of intangible assets is recognized directly in profit or loss in the line item Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

At each reporting date an assessment is made as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company makes an estimate of recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss in the line item Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

2.10. Emission Rights

Emission right represents the right of the operator of a facility, which in the course of its operation emits greenhouse gases, to emit during the calendar year equivalent of one ton of carbon dioxide. Based on the National Allocation Plans the Company have been granted emission rights. The Company is responsible for determining and reporting the amount of greenhouse gases produced by its facilities in the calendar year and this amount has to be audited by an accredited person.

On April 30 of the following year, at the latest, the Company is required to remit a number of allowances representing the number of tones of CO2 actually emitted in previous year.

The emission rights which were granted free of charge are stated at their nominal value, i.e. at zero. Purchased emission rights are carried at cost (except for emission rights for trading). The Company recognizes a provision to cover emissions made corresponding to the difference between released emissions and amount of the emission rights which were granted free. This provision is measured firstly with regard to the cost of emission rights and credits purchased with the intention of covering the greenhouse gases emissions of the reporting period. The reserve for released emissions above the amount of these emissions rights and credits is measured at the market price ruling at the balance sheet date. The emission rights purchased for the own use purpose in the next year are presented under current assets in the line Emission rights. The emission rights with an expected later using are presented as part of the intangible assets.

The Company also holds emission rights and credits for trading purposes. The portfolio of emission rights and credits held for trading is measured at fair value. The changes in fair value of the emission rights and credits held for trading are recognized directly in profit or loss in the line item of Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading. The emission rights and credits for the trading purpose are presented under current assets in the line Emission rights.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that emission rights may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the Company reviews the recoverable amounts of the cash-generating units, to which the emission rights were allocated, to determine whether such amounts continue to exceed the assets' carrying values. Any identified impairment of emission rights is recognized directly in profit or loss in the line item of Other operating expenses.

Sale and repurchase agreements with emission rights are accounted for as collateralized borrowing.

2.11. Classification of Financial Instruments

A financial asset is mainly cash, an equity instrument of another entity or a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset.

A financial liability is mainly a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset.

Financial liabilities and assets are presented as current (short-term) or non-current (long-term). Financial assets are presented as current when the Company expects to realize them within 12 months of the balance sheet date or if there is no reasonable certainty that the Company will hold the financial assets for more than 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Financial liabilities are presented as current when they are due within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

The financial assets and liabilities for trading are presented as current.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

2.11.1. Financial Assets

Financial assets are classified into categories at amortized cost, at fair value depending on whether the financial asset is held for trading or is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows, and at cost.

The Company defines financial assets to the following categories:

a) financial assets at amortized cost

This category includes the financial assets held with strategy to collect contractual cash flows, which consists of both principal and interest payments. Examples for such financial assets are loans, securities held to maturity, trade receivables. Expected credit losses, foreign exchange rate differences and interest revenues are recognized in the income statement.

b) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

This category includes the financial assets held with strategy to collect contractual cash flows or to sell financial assets. This model distinguishes two types of accounting treatment:

– no recycling to the income statement – used for equity instruments

Expected credit loss is not calculated and recognized. Changes in the fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognized no profit or loss is recognized in the income statement – it never affects profit or loss. In case that equity instrument was sold an accumulated revaluation reserve is reclassified to retained earnings. Foreign exchange rate differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (part of revaluation reserve). In case that equity instrument was sold gain/loss remains in other comprehensive income is reclassified to retained earnings. Dividends from these financial assets are recognized in the income statement providing it does not result in an impairment loss of investment at the same time.

– recycling to the income statement – used for debt instruments

Expected credit loss is recognized in the income statement. Changes in the fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. When the financial asset is derecognized, profit or loss is recognized in the income statement (profit or loss is reclassified from other comprehensive income to the income statement). Foreign exchange rate differences in relation to revaluation reserve are recognized in other comprehensive income. Foreign exchange rate differences in relation to impairment are recognized in the income statement. Interest revenues are recognized in the income statement.

c) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category includes the financial assets held with strategy of active trade with financial asset. Contractual cash flow collection is not the primary objective of business model.

Examples for such financial assets are securities for trading, derivatives, not used for hedging.

Expected credit losses are not calculated and recognized. Changes in the fair value and foreign exchange rate differences are recognized in the income statement.

Changes in the fair values are included in lines Other financial expenses or Other financial income.

d) financial assets at cost

This category includes share on subsidiaries, associates and joint-ventures. The creation of the impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income.

2.11.2. Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified into two main categories (a) at amortized cost and (b) at fair value through profit or loss. Classification into these categories is similar to the financial assets above.

For "Fair Value Option" liabilities, the amount of change in the fair value of a liability that is attributable to changes in credit risk must be presented in other comprehensive income. The remainder of the change in fair value is presented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fair value change in respect of the liability's credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.

2.11.3. Derivatives

Specific category of the financial assets and liabilities are derivatives. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The presentation of derivatives is described in the Note 2.12.

2.11.4. Impairment of Financial Assets

Impairment of financial assets by applying the IFRS 9 requirements is based on expected credit loss (ECL) model which applies to the following financial assets:

a) debt instruments at amortized cost (trade receivables, loans, debt securities),

b) debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income,

c) lease receivables,

d) financial guarantee contracts,

e) bank accounts and term deposits.

The Company recognizes either 12-months or lifetime ECL, depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (or when the commitment or guarantee was entered into). For some trade receivables, the simplified approach is applied whereby the lifetime expected credit losses are always recognized.

For the purposes of ECL model calculation, the portfolio of financial assets is split into 3 stages. At the date of the first recognition, the financial assets are included in stage 1, with the lowest allowance, which is determined using percentage of unpaid receivables in the past. Subsequent reclassification to the stages 2 and 3 is carried out according to the definition of significant increase in credit risk of a debtor. The interest revenue from receivables in the stage 3 is based on the net carrying amount.

2.12. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its risks associated with interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value. In the balance sheet such derivatives are presented as part of current and non-current financial assets or as part of other long-term and short-term financial liabilities.

The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as either fair value hedges when they hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability; or cash flow hedges when they hedge exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction.

The Company documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

2.12.1. Fair Value Hedge

Gain or loss from re-measuring the hedging instrument at fair value is recognized immediately in the income statement. Any gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk is adjusted against the carrying amount of the hedged item and recognized in the income statement. Where the adjustment is to the carrying amount of a hedged interest-bearing financial instrument, the adjustment is amortized to profit or loss over the remaining term to maturity.

2.12.2. Cash Flow Hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are initially recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in the income statement in the line item Other financial expenses or Other financial income.

Amounts accumulated in equity are transferred to the income statement in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recorded to the income statement when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in other comprehensive income is immediately transferred to the income statement.

2.12.3. Other Derivatives

Certain derivative instruments are not designated for hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of any derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized immediately in the income statement.

2.13. Commodity Contracts

According to IFRS 9, certain commodity contracts are treated as financial instruments and fall into the scope of the standard. Most commodity purchase and sales contracts entered into by the Company provide for physical delivery of quantities intended to be consumed or sold as part of its ordinary business; such contracts are thus excluded from the scope of IFRS 9.

Forward purchases and sales for physical delivery of energy are considered to fall outside the scope of application of IFRS 9, when the contract concerned is considered to have been entered into as part of the normal business activity. This is demonstrated to be the case when all the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • A physical delivery takes place under such contracts;
  • The volumes purchased or sold under the contracts correspond to the Company's operating requirements;
  • The contract cannot be considered as a written option as defined by the standard IFRS 9. In the specific case of electricity sales contracts, the contract is substantially equivalent to a firm forward sale or can be considered as a capacity sale.

The Company thus considers that transactions negotiated with a view to balancing the volumes between electricity purchases and sale commitments are part of its ordinary business as an integrated electric utility company and do not therefore come under the scope of IFRS 9.

Commodity contracts which fall under the scope of IFRS 9 are carried at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized in the income statement. The Company presents revenues and expenses related to commodity trading net in the line Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading.

2.14. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, current accounts with banks and short-term bank notes with a maturity of 6 months or less. Foreign currency deposits are translated using the exchange rates published as at the balance sheet date.

2.15. Financial Assets Restricted in Use

Restricted balances of cash and other financial assets, which are shown as restricted funds (see Note 4), relate to deposits for funding of nuclear decommissioning liabilities, waste storage reclamation and cash guarantees given to transaction partners. The non-current classification is based on the expected timing of the release of the funds to the Company.

2.16. Receivables, Payables and Accruals

Receivables are recognized and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts. An impairment analysis of receivables is performed by the Company at each reporting date on an individual basis for significant specific receivables. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively where the individual approach is not applicable. The calculation is based on actual incurred historical data of these groups.

Payables are recorded at invoiced values and accruals are reported at expected settlement values.

2.17. Materials and Supplies

Purchased inventories are valued at actual cost, using the weighted average method. Costs of purchased inventories comprise expenses which have been incurred in respect of the acquisition of materials and supplies including transportation costs. When consumed, inventories are charged to income or capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment. Work-in-progress is valued at actual cost. Costs of inventories produced internally include direct material and labor costs. Obsolete inventories are reduced to their realizable value by a provision charged to the income statement. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the provision for obsolescence amounted to CZK 11 million and CZK 7 million, respectively.

2.18. Fossil Fuel Stocks

Fossil fuel stocks are stated at actual cost using weighted average cost method.

2.19. Income Taxes

The provision for corporate tax is calculated in accordance with the Czech tax regulations and is based on the income or loss reported under the Czech accounting regulations, increased or decreased by the appropriate permanent and temporary differences (e.g. differences between book and tax depreciation). Income tax due is provided at a rate of 19% for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, from income before income taxes after adjustments for certain items which are not deductible, or taxable, for taxation purposes. The Czech corporate income tax rate enacted for 2020 and on is 19%.

Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized regardless of when the temporary difference is likely to revers. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax assets can be utilized. A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Current tax and deferred tax are charged or credited directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are credited or charged, in the same or a different period, directly to equity.

Change in the carrying amount of deferred tax assets and liabilities due to change in tax rate is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items previously charged or credited to equity.

2.20. Long-term Debt

Borrowings are initially recognized at the amount of the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, the difference between net proceeds and redemption value is being recognized in the net income over the life of the borrowings as interest expense.

Transaction costs include fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges.

The carrying amount of long-term debt, which is hedged against the changes in its fair value, is adjusted by the changes in the fair value attributable to the hedged risk. The changes in the fair value of the hedged long-term debt are recognized in profit or loss and are included in the income statement line Other financial expenses or Other financial income. The adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged long-term debt in a fair value hedge is subsequently amortized to profit or loss using the effective interest rate method.

2.21. Nuclear Provisions

The Company has recognized provisions for its obligations to decommission its nuclear power plants at the end of their operating lives, to store the related spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive waste initially on an interim basis and provision for its obligation to provide financing for subsequent permanent storage of spent nuclear fuel and irradiated parts of reactors (see Note 16.1).

The provisions recognized represent the best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the present obligation at the current balance sheet date. Such cost estimates, expressed at current price levels at the date of the estimate, are discounted at December 31, 2019 and 2018 using a long-term real rate of interest of 0.70% and 1.25% per annum, respectively, to take into account the timing of payments. The initial discounted cost amounts are capitalized as part of property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over the period when the nuclear power plants generate electricity. Each year, the provisions are increased to reflect the accretion of discount and to accrue an estimate for the effects of inflation, with the charges being presented in the income statement on the line Interest on provisions. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the estimate for the effect of expected inflation rate is 1.50% and 1.25%, respectively.

The decommissioning process is expected to continue for approximately a fifty-year period subsequent to the final operation of the plants. It is currently anticipated that the permanent storage facility for spent nuclear fuel will become available in 2065 and the process of final disposal of the spent nuclear fuel will then continue until approximately 2090. While the Company has made its best estimate in establishing its nuclear provisions, because of potential changes in technology as well as safety and environmental requirements, plus the actual time scale to complete decommissioning and interim and permanent fuel storage activities, the ultimate provision requirements could vary significantly from the Company's current estimates.

Changes in a decommissioning liability and in liability for permanent storage of spent nuclear fuel that result from a change in the current best estimate of timing and/or amount of cash flows required to settle the obligation or from a change in the discount rate are added to (or deducted from) the amount recognized as the related asset. However, to the extent that such a treatment would result in a negative asset, the effect of the change is recognized in the income for the current period.

2.22. Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date and requires evaluation of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the arrangement conveys the right to use the asset.

The Company doesn't apply the standard IFRS 16 to leases of intangible assets.

2.22.1. Company as a Lessee

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

a) Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate using observable inputs such as market interest rates.

For contracts that are concluded for an indefinite period, the Company applies judgement for determination of the expected lease period.

b) Right-of-use assets

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Depreciation
period (years)
Lands 4–32
Buildings 4–10
Vehicles, machinery and equipment 1–12
Inventory and other tangible assets 8–10

2.22.2. Company as a Lessor

The Company leases out its tangible assets under operating lease. Operating leases are the leases, in which the Company does not transfer substantially all the risk and rewards incidental to ownership of an assets.

Rental income arising from operating lease is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature.

2.23. Treasury Shares

Treasury shares are presented in the balance sheet as a deduction from equity. The acquisition of treasury shares is presented in the statement of equity as a reduction in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the income statement on the sale, issuance or cancellation of treasury shares. Consideration received is presented in the financial statements as an addition to equity.

2.24. Share Options

Members of Board of Directors and selected managers have been granted options to purchase common shares of the Company. Expense related to the share option plan was measured on the date of the grant by reference to the fair value of the share options granted. The expense is accrued over the vesting period of the equity instruments granted. The expense recognized reflects the best estimate of the number of share options which will ultimately vest.

2.25. Foreign Currency Transactions

Assets and liabilities whose acquisition or production costs were denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Czech crowns using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction, as published by the Czech National Bank. In the accompanying financial statements, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at December 31. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement, except when deferred in equity for qualifying cash flow hedges.

Translation differences on debt securities and other monetary financial assets measured at fair value are included in foreign exchange gains and losses. Translation differences on non-monetary items such as equity instruments held for trading are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on available-for-sale equity securities are included in equity.

Exchange rates used as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 for the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies were as follows:

2019 2018
CZK per 1 EUR 25.410 25.725
CZK per 1 USD 22.621 22.466
CZK per 1 PLN 5.970 5.980
CZK per 1 BGN 12.992 13.153
CZK per 1 RON 5.313 5.516
CZK per 100 JPY 20.844 20.447
CZK per 1 TRY 3.805 4.247
CZK per 100 HUF 7.688 8.015

2.26. Non-current Assets Held for Sale

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification.

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated or amortized.

1) The amortization of nuclear fuel also includes charges in respect of additions to the accumulated provision for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel in the amount of CZK 380 million.

In 2019 and 2018 a composite depreciation rate of Plant in service was 3.1%.

In 2019 and 2018 capitalized interest costs amounted to CZK 229 million and CZK 227 million, respectively, and the interest capitalization rate was 3.9% and 4.2%, respectively.

Construction work in progress contains mainly investments related to the acquisition of nuclear fuel and refurbishments performed on Temelín, Dukovany and Ledvice power plants and Trmice heating plant.

Impairment Test of Assets

Company's generation assets are tested for any possible impairment as a single cash-generating unit with the exception of specific assets, e.g. the gas fired power plant in Počerady. Company's cash-generating unit of generation assets is characterized by portfolio management in the deployment and maintenance of various power plants and the cash flows generated from these activities.

As part of testing the recoverable value of fixed assets of the cash-generating unit of ČEZ, a. s. (hereinafter the ČEZ Value), we performed a sensitivity analysis of the test results to changes in certain key parameters of the used model – changes in wholesale power prices (hereinafter the EE prices), changes in the discount rate used in the calculation of the present value of future cash flows and changes in CZK/EUR exchange rate.

The development of commodity prices and, in particular, the development of wholesale power prices in Germany (as German power prices have a major impact on the development of wholesale power prices in the Czech Republic) are the key assumptions used for the ČEZ Value model. The developments of wholesale prices are primarily determined by the EU political decisions, the development of global demand and supply of commodities and the technological progress.

The development of EE price is influenced by a number of external factors, including, in particular, changes in the structure and availability of generation capacity in the Czech Republic and neighboring countries, the macroeconomic development of the Central European region and the regulation of the energy sector in the EU and Germany (fundamental impacts of premature decommissioning of German nuclear power plants in 2020–2022 and impacts of the EU approved climate and energy targets for 2030) and also by development of the Czech Republic State Energy Concept. The model was constructed for a period adequate to the useful life of the power plants, i.e. for a period that significantly exceeds the period for which commodities, including wholesale power price contracts, are traded on public liquid markets. In addition, the power market is subject to structural changes (the Market Design) and major industry regulation; consequently, complete abandonment of market-based power pricing mechanisms and implementation of alternative, centrally regulated payments for the availability and supply of power plants within the period of useful life of the power plants is actually possible.

With respect to the fact that we are using a long-term model, there are certain internal factors and assumptions that affect the ČEZ Value sensitivity to the development of power prices, such as varying deployment of the generation portfolio depending on the development of power prices, emission allowances and variable generation costs and, in a longer perspective, also the development of fixed costs reflecting the development of the power plants gross margin.

The sensitivity test results reflect expert estimates of the status and development of the above factors in the period of the model and the status of commercial securing of the generation portfolio as at December 31, 2019.

The test considers long-term EE prices at the level used to prepare Company's business plan for 2020–2024. The plan was prepared in the fourth quarter 2019 whereas the plan was based on the active market parameters observed in August and September (power prices on EEX energy exchange in Germany, prices on PXE energy exchange in the Czech Republic, price of CO2 emission rights, FX rate CZK/EUR, interest rates etc.). There is a liquidity for power contracts traded on EEX for the period covering the horizon of the business plan and with regard to links between German and Czech power transmission network, the EEX prices are basic market price indicator for EE prices in the Czech Republic. For the purposes of the sensitivity analysis, the input EE prices, emission rights prices and foreign exchange rates were applied to the relevant opened positions of the Company.

A change of the assumed EE prices as per the models by 1%, with other parameters remaining unchanged, would have an impact of approximately CZK 7.8 billion on the ČEZ Value test results. Future cash flows of the model were discounted using a 4.1% rate. A change of 0.1 percentage point in the discount rate, with other parameters remaining unchanged, would change the ČEZ Value by approximately CZK 5.1 billion. A change of 1% in the CZK/EUR exchange rate, with other parameters remaining unchanged, would result in a change of approximately CZK 6.7 billion in the ČEZ Value.

4. Restricted Financial Assets, Net

Derivatives balance comprises mainly positive fair value of commodity trading contracts.

The Company concluded two put option agreements with Vršanská uhelná a.s. in March 2013. Under these contracts the Company has the right to transfer 100% of the shares of its subsidiary Elektrárna Počerady, a.s. to Vršanská uhelná a.s. First option for the year 2016 was not exercised, second option can be exercised in 2024 for cash consideration of CZK 2 billion. The option agreement could be inactivated until December 31, 2019, which the Company did not apply, which results in the sale in 2024. The contracts represent derivatives that will be settled by the delivery of unquoted equity instrument. Elektrárna Počerady, a.s. is not quoted on any market. There is significant variability in the range of reasonable fair values for this equity instrument (there is no similar power plant in the Czech Republic for sale and also no similar transaction took place) and thus it is difficult to reasonably assess the probabilities of various estimates. As a result, the fair value cannot be reliably measured. Consequently, the put option is measured at cost. There was no option premium paid on the options and therefore the cost of these instruments is zero.

Capital Management

The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to keep its credit rating on the investment grade and on the level that is common in the industry and to maintain healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize value for shareholders. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions.

The Company primarily monitors capital using the ratio of net debt to EBITDA. Considering the current structure and stability of cash flow and the development strategy, the goal of the Group is the level of this ratio in range 2.5 to 3.0. In addition, the Company also monitors capital using a total debt to total capital ratio. The Company's policy is to keep the total debt to total capital ratio below 50% in the long term.

EBITDA consists of income before income taxes and other income (expenses) plus depreciation and amortization, plus impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and less gain (or loss) on sale of property, plant and equipment. The Company includes within total debt the long-term and short-term interest bearing loans and borrowings. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid financial assets. Highly liquid financial assets consist for capital management purposes of short-term debt financial assets and both short-term and long-term bank deposits. Total capital is total equity attributable to equity holders of the parent plus total debt. The items related to assets classified as held for sale, which are presented separately on the balance sheet, are always included in these calculations.

The calculation and evaluation of the ratios is done using consolidated figures (in CZK millions):

2019 2018
Total long-term debt 167,633 149,183
Total short-term loans 4,260 11,783

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm's length transaction, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair values are obtained from quoted market prices, discounted cash flow models and option pricing models, as appropriate.

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Current Investments

The carrying amount of cash and other current financial assets approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Securities Held for Trading

The fair values of equity and debt securities that are held for trading are estimated based on quoted market prices.

Non-current Debt and Equity Financial Assets

The fair values of non-current debt and equity financial assets, which are publicly traded on active markets, are determined based on quoted market prices. The fair values of non-current debt and equity financial assets, which are not publicly traded on active markets, are determined using appropriate valuation models.

Short-term Receivables and Payables

The carrying amount of receivables and payables approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

Short-term Loans

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short period to maturity of those instruments.

Long-term Debt

The fair value of long-term debt is based on the quoted market price for the same or similar issues or on the current rates available for debt with the same maturity profile. The carrying amount of long-term debt and other payables with variable interest rates approximates their fair values.

Derivatives

The fair value of derivatives is based upon mark to market valuations.

Carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of financial assets (except for derivatives) at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (in CZK millions):

2019 2018

14.1. Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly
  • Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

There were no transfers between the levels in 2019 and 2018.

As at December 31, 2019, the fair value hierarchy was the following (in CZK millions):

Assets measured at fair value: Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Commodity derivatives 59,996 1,796 58,200

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally large power and utility groups and financial institutions with high credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly commodity forward and futures contracts, foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and options. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations and option pricing models (e.g. Black-Scholes). The models incorporate various inputs including the forward rate curves of the underlying commodity, foreign exchange spot and forward rates and interest rate curves.

The following table shows roll forward of the financial assets measured at fair value – Level 3, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (in CZK millions):

The main investment in the portfolio Equity financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is 15% interest in the company Veolia Energie ČR, a.s. (see Note 5). Equity instruments of the company are not quoted on any market. Fair value at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was determined using available public EBITDA data and the usual range of 8 to 10 EBITDA multiples which corresponds to the transactions observed on the market for acquisition of the 100% interest before the adjustment for outstanding debt. The fair value at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was determined using 9 EBITDA multiple as the best estimate of the fair value.

Equity financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include investment in investment fund ČEZ in the company Inven Capital, SICAV, a.s. (see Note 5). The fair value of the investment was determined at 31 December 2019 and 2018 by valuator's appraisal. The fair value is stated especially with regard to capital contributions and to other forms of financing made by the co-investors recently. In addition, the valuation takes into account further developments and eventual subsequent significant events, such as received bids for redemption.

14.2. Offsetting of Financial Instruments

The following table shows the recognized financial instruments that are offset, or subject to enforceable master netting agreement or other similar agreements but not offset, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 (in CZK millions):

1) Other financial instruments consist of invoices due from derivative trading and are included in Trade receivables, net or Trade payables.

2) Collaterals paid are included in Trade receivables, net and collaterals received are included in Trade payables.

When trading with derivative instruments, the Company enters into the EFET and ISDA framework contracts. These contracts generally allow mutual offset of receivables and payables upon the premature termination of agreement. The reason for premature termination is insolvency or non-fulfillment of agreed terms by the counterparty. The right to mutual offset is either embedded in the framework contract or results from the security provided. There is CSA (Credit Support Annex) concluded with some counterparties defining the permitted limit of exposure. When the limit is exceeded, there is a transfer of cash reducing exposure below an agreed level. Cash security (collateral) is also included in the final offset.

Short-term derivative assets are included in the balance sheet in Other current financial assets, net, long-term derivative assets in Other non-current financial assets, net, short-term derivative liabilities in Other short-term financial liabilities and long-term derivative liabilities in Other long-term financial liabilities.

15. Financial Risk Management

Risk Management Approach

A risk management system is being successfully developed in order to protect the Group's value while taking the level of risk acceptable for the shareholders. In the Group, the risk is defined as a potential difference between the actual and the expected (planned) developments and is measured by means of the extent of such difference in CZK and the likelihood with which such a difference may occur.

A risk capital concept is applied within the Group. The concept allows the setting of basic cap for partial risk limits and, in particular, the unified quantification of all kinds of risks. The value of aggregate annual risk limit (Profit@Risk) is approved by the Board of Directors based on the Risk Management Committee proposal for every financial year. The proposed limit value is derived from historical volatility of profit, revenues and costs of the Group (the top-down method). The approved value in CZK is set on the basis of a 95% confidence level and expresses a maximum profit decrease, which is the Group willing to take in order to reach the planned annual profit.

The bottom-up method is used for setting and updating the Risk frames. The Risk frames include the definition of risk and departments/units of the Group for which the frame is obligatory; definition of rules and responsibilities for risk management; permitted instruments and methods of risk management and actual risk limits, including a limit which expresses the share in the annual Profit@Risk limit.

The main Business Plan market risks are quantified in the Group (EBITDA@Risk based on MonteCarlo simulation in Y+1 to Y+5 horizon). The market risks are actively managed through gradual electricity sales and emission allowances' purchases in the following 6-year horizon, closed long-term contracts for electricity sale and emission allowances' purchase and the FX and IR risk hedging in medium-term horizon. In Business Plan horizon, the risk management is also based on Debt Capacity concept which enables to assess the impact of main Investment and other Activities (incl. the risk characteristics), on expected cash flow and total debt in order to maintain corporate rating.

Risk Management Organization

The supreme authority responsible for risk management in ČEZ, a. s. is the CFO, except for approval of the aggregate annual budget risk limit (Profit@Risk) within the competence of the ČEZ, a. s. Board of Directors. CFO decides, based on the recommendation of the Risk Management Committee, on the development of a system of risk management, on an overall allocation of risk capital to the individual risks and organizational units, he approves obligatory rules, responsibilities and limit structure for the management of partial risks.

The Risk Management Committee (advisory committee of CFO) continuously monitors an overall risk impact on the Group, including Group risk limits utilization, status of risks linked to Business Plan horizon, hedging strategies status, assessment of impact of Investment and other Activities on potential Group debt capacity and cash flow in order to maintain corporate rating.

Overview and Methods of Risk Management

The Group applies a unified categorization of the Group's risks which reflects the specifics of a corporate, i.e. non-banking company, and focuses on primary causes of unexpected development. The risks are divided into four basic categories listed below.

1. Market risks 2. Credit risks 3. Operation risks 4. Business risks
1.1 Financial (FX, IR) 2.1 Counterparty default 3.1 Operating 4.1 Strategic
1.2 Commodity 2.2 Supplier default 3.2 Internal change 4.2 Political
1.3 Volumetric 2.3 Settlement 3.3 Liquidity management 4.3 Regulatory
1.4 Market liquidity 3.4 Security 4.4 Reputation

From the view of risk management, the Group activities can be divided into two basic groups:

  • activities with the unified quantification of the share of respective activity in the aggregate risk limit of the Group (i.e. using specific likelihood, it is possible to objectively determine what risk is associated with an activity/planned profit). These risks are managed by the rules and limits set by the CFO of ČEZ, a. s. based on the recommendation of the Risk Management Committee and, concurrently, in accordance with governing documents of the respective units/processes of the Group;
  • activities whose share in the aggregate risk limit of the Group has not been quantified so far or for objective reasons. These risks are managed by the responsible owners of the relevant processes in accordance with internal governing documents of the respective units/processes of the Group.

For all risks quantified on a unified basis, a partial risk limit is set whose continuous utilization is evaluated on a monthly basis and is usually defined as a sum of the actually expected deviation of expected annual profit from the plan and the potential risk of loss on a 95% confidence. The Group's methodologies and data provide for a unified quantification of the following risks:

  • market risks: financial (currency, interest and stock price) risks, commodity prices (electricity, emission allowances, coal, gas, crude oil), volume (volume of electricity produced by wind power plants);
  • credit risks: financial and business counterparty risk and electricity, gas and heat end customer risk;
  • operational risks: risks of nuclear and fossil power plants operation, investment risks.

The development of quantified risks is reported to the Risk Management Committee every month through 3 regular reports:

  • Annual budget risks (annual Profit@Risk limit utilization);
  • Business plan risks (EBITDA@Risk based on MonteCarlo simulation);
  • Debt capacity (actual deviation from the optimal debt within Y+5 horizon, derived from rating agency requirements on debt indicators in order to preserve the ČEZ rating).

15.1. Qualitative Description of ČEZ, a. s. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments

Commodity Risks

The development of electricity, emission allowances, coal and gas prices is a key risk factor of the ČEZ value. The current system of commodity risk management is focused on (i) the margin from the own electricity production sales, i.e. from trades resulting in optimizing the sales of ČEZ's production and in optimizing the emission allowances position for production (the potential risk is managed on the EaR, VaR and the EBITDA@Risk bases), and (ii) the margin from the proprietary trading of commodities (the potential risk is managed on the VaR basis).

Market Financial Risks (currency and interest risks)

The development of foreign exchange rates and interest rates is a significant risk factor of the ČEZ value. The current system of financial risk management is focused mainly on (i) the future cash flows and (ii) financial trades which are realized for the purposes of an overall risk position management in accordance with the risk limits (the potential risk is managed on the basis of VaR, EBITDA@Risk and complementary position limits). Own financial instruments (i.e. active and passive financial trades and derivative trades) are realized entirely in the context of an overall expected cash flows (including operational and investment foreign currency flows).

Credit Risks

Credit exposures of individual financial partners and wholesale partners are managed in accordance with individual credit limits. The individual limits are set and continuously updated according to the counterparty's credibility (in accordance with international rating and internal financial evaluation of counterparties with no international rating).

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group's treasury department in accordance with the Group's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty.

Company's maximum exposure to credit risk to receivables and other financial instruments as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is the carrying value of each class of financial assets except for financial guarantees.

In accordance with the credit risk methodology applied to the banking sector per Basel II, every month the expected and potential losses are quantified on a 95% confidence level. It means that the share of credit risks in the aggregate annual Profit@Risk limit is quantified and evaluated.

Liquidity Risks

Liquidity risk is primarily perceived as an operational risk (risk of liquidity management) and a risk factor is the internal ability to effectively manage the future cash flows planning process and to secure the adequate liquidity and effective short-term financing (the risk is managed on a qualitative basis). The fundamental liquidity risk management (i.e. liquidity risk within the meaning for banking purposes) is covered by the risk management system as a whole. In any given period, the future deviations of the expected cash flows are managed in accordance with the aggregate risk limit and in the context of the actual and the targeted debt/equity ratio of ČEZ.

15.2. Quantitative Description of ČEZ, a. s. Risks Associated with Financial Instruments

Commodity Risks

The required quantitative information on risks (i.e. a potential change of market value resulting from the effects of risk factors as at December 31) was prepared based on the assumptions given below:

  • the indicator of risk associated with financial instruments is defined as the monthly parametric VaR (95% confidence) which expresses a maximum potential decrease in fair value of contracts classified as derivatives under IFRS 9 (the underlying commodities in the Company's derivative transactions are: electricity, EUA and CER/ERU emission allowances, gas, coal ARA, Richards Bay, Newcastle and crude oil and crude oil products) on the given confidence level;
  • highly probable forecasted future electricity generation sales with the delivery in the CZ power grid are included in the VAR calculation to reflect the hedging character of significant portion of the existing derivative sales of electricity with delivery in Germany;
  • for the calculation of volatility and correlations (between commodity prices), the SMA (Simple Moving Average) method is applied to 60 daily time series;
  • the source of market data is mainly EEX, PXE and ICE;
  • the indicator VaR illustrates mainly the impact of revaluation of above-mentioned financial instruments to Income Statement.

Potential impact of the above risk factors as at December 31 (in CZK millions):

2019 2018
Monthly VaR (95%) – impact of changes in commodity prices 2,760 2,734

Currency Risks

The required quantitative information on risks (i.e. a potential change of market value resulting from the effects of currency risk as at December 31) was prepared based on the assumptions given below:

– the indicator of currency risk is defined as the monthly VaR (95% confidence);

  • for the calculation of VaR, based on volatility and internal correlations of each considered currency, the method of historical simulation VaR is applied to 90 daily historical time series;
  • the relevant currency position is defined mainly as a discounted value of foreign currency cash flows from all contracted financial instruments, from expected foreign currency operational revenues and costs in 2020 and from highly probable forecasted foreign currency revenues, costs or capital expenditures that are being hedged by financial instruments etc;
  • the relevant currency positions reflect all significant foreign-currency flows in the monitored basket of foreign currencies;
  • the source of market FX and interest rate data is mainly IS Reuters and IS Bloomberg;
  • the indicator VaR illustrates mainly the impact of revaluation of above-mentioned currency position to Income Statement.

Potential impact of the currency risk as at December 31 (in CZK millions):

2019 2018
Monthly currency VaR (95% confidence) 68 169

Interest Risks

For the quantification of the potential impact of the interest risk was chosen the sensitivity of the interest revenue and cost to the parallel shift of yield curves. The approximate quantification as at December 31 was based on these assumptions:

  • parallel shift of the yield curves (+10bp) was selected as the indicator of interest risk;
  • the Income Statement sensitivity is measured as an annual change of the interest revenue and cost resulting from the interest-sensitive positions as at December 31;
  • the considered interest positions reflect all significant interest-sensitive positions;
  • the source of market interest rates is mainly IS Reuters and IS Bloomberg.

Potential impact of the interest rate risk as at December 31 (in CZK millions):

2019 2018
IR sensitivity* to parallel yield curve shift (+10bp) (2) (1)

* Negative result denotes higher increase in interest costs than interest income

The committed credit facilities available to the Company as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to CZK 26.9 billion and CZK 15.8 billion, respectively. In addition, in December 2019, the Company signed a committed loan facility agreement with the European Investment Bank to support financing of the grid renewal and further development program in the Czech Republic up to EUR 330 million, i.e. CZK 8.4 billion, which was not drawn as of December 31, 2019.

15.3. Hedge Accounting

The Company enters into cash flow hedges of future highly probable cash inflows from the sales denominated in EUR against the currency risk. The hedged cash flows are expected to occur in the period from 2020 to 2026. The hedging instruments as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 are the EUR denominated liabilities from the issued Eurobonds and bank loans in the total amount of EUR 5.1 billion and EUR 4.0 billion, respectively, and currency forward contracts and swaps. The fair value of these derivative hedging instruments (currency forward contracts and swaps) amounted to CZK 695 million and CZK 176 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company also enters into cash flow hedges of highly probable future sales of electricity in the Czech Republic from 2020 to 2025. The hedging instruments are the futures and forward contracts electricity sales in Germany. The fair value of these derivative hedging instruments amounted to CZK (1,302) million and CZK (20,236) million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company applied cash flow hedges of future highly probable purchases of emission allowances which had been expected to occur in 2018. The hedging instruments as at December 31, 2018 were the futures contracts for the purchase of allowances equivalent to 6.0 million tons of CO2 emissions. The final settlement of the purchase of these hedged emission allowances was in December 2018.

In 2019 and 2018 the amounts removed from equity in respect of cash flow hedges were recognized in profit or loss and included in the lines Sales of electricity, heat and gas, Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading, Other financial expenses and Other financial income and on the balance sheet in the line Intangible assets, net and Emission rights. In 2019 and 2018 the Company recognized in profit or loss the ineffectiveness that arises from cash flow hedges in the amount of CZK 503 million and CZK (29) million, respectively. The ineffectiveness in 2019 and 2018 was mainly caused by the fact that the hedged cash flows are no more highly probable to occur.

The following is a summary of the provisions at December 31, 2019 and 2018 (in CZK millions):

16.1. Nuclear Provisions

The Company operates two nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plant Dukovany consists of four units which were put into service from 1985 to 1987. Nuclear power plant Temelín has two units which have started commercial operation in 2002 and 2003. A Nuclear Act defines obligations for the decommissioning of nuclear facilities, the disposal of radioactive waste and spent fuel (disposal). The Nuclear Act requires that all nuclear parts of plant and equipment be decommissioned following the end of the plant's operating life. For the purpose of accounting for the nuclear provisions, it is assumed that the end of operation will be 2037 for Dukovany and 2052 for Temelín. A 2018 Dukovany and a 2019 Temelín decommissioning cost study estimate that nuclear decommissioning will cost CZK 28.6 billion and CZK 22.4 billion, respectively. The Company makes contributions to a restricted bank accounts in the amount of the nuclear provisions recorded under the Nuclear Act. These restricted funds can be invested in government bonds in accordance with legislation. These restricted financial assets are shown in the balance sheet as part of Restricted financial assets, net (see Note 4).

The Ministry of Industry and Trade established the Radioactive Waste Repository Authority (RAWRA) as the central organizer and operator of facilities for the final disposal of radioactive waste and spent fuel. The RAWRA operates, supervises and is responsible for disposal facilities and for disposal of radioactive waste and spent fuel therein. The activities of the RAWRA are financed through a nuclear account funded by the originators of radioactive waste. Contribution to the nuclear account is stated by Nuclear Act at 55 CZK per MWh produced at nuclear power plants. In 2019 and 2018, the payments to the nuclear account amounted to CZK 1,663 million and CZK 1,646 million, respectively. The originator of radioactive waste and spent fuel directly covers all costs associated with interim storage of radioactive waste and spent fuel.

The Company has established provisions as described in Note 2.21, to recognize its estimated liabilities for decommissioning and spent fuel storage.

The following is a summary of the nuclear provisions for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 (in CZK millions):

Current cash expenditures (638) (1,663) (2,301)
Balance at December 31, 2019 34,499 8,657 32,237 75,393

The current cash expenditures for the long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel represent payments to the state controlled nuclear account and the expenditures for interim storage represent mainly the purchase of interim fuel storage containers and other related equipment.

In 2019 the Company recorded the change in estimate for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel in connection with the change in expectations of future storage cost and change in discount rate, the change in estimate in provision for nuclear decommissioning due to the update of the expert decommissioning study for nuclear power plant in Temelín and change in discount rate and the change in long-term spent fuel storage in connection with the modification of the expected output of the nuclear power plants and change in discount rate.

In 2018 the Company recorded the change in estimate for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel in connection with the change in expectations of future storage cost, the change in estimate in provision for nuclear decommissioning due to the update of the expert decommissioning study for nuclear power plant in Dukovany and the change in long-term spent fuel storage in connection with the modification of the expected output of the nuclear power plants.

The actual decommissioning and spent fuel storage costs could vary substantially from the above estimates because of new regulatory requirements, changes in technology, increased costs of labor, materials and equipment and/or the actual time required to complete all decommissioning, disposal and storage activities.

The members of Board of Directors and selected managers were entitled to use company cars for both business and private purposes in addition to the personal expenses.

If the Company terminates a contract with a member of Board of Directors before his/her four-year term of office expires (except for resignation), the Director is entitled to a severance pay. Method of determination of the amount of the severance payment and conditions are stipulated in the respective contract of the member of Board of Directors.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the aggregate number of share options granted to members of Board of Directors and selected managers was 1,651 thousand and 1,904 thousand, respectively.

Members of the Board of Directors and selected managers were entitled until December 31, 2019 to receive share options based on the conditions stipulated in the share option agreement. Members of the Board of Directors and selected managers were granted certain quantity of share options each year of their tenure according to rules of the share option plan until the share option plan was terminated as of December 31, 2019. The exercise price for the granted options was based on the average quoted market price of the shares on the regulated exchange in the Czech Republic during one-month period preceding the grant date each year. Options granted could be exercised at the earliest 2 years and latest 3.5 years after each grant date. Option right is limited so that the profit per share option will not exceed 100% of exercise price.

Beginning on January 1, 2020, the new program of long-term performance bonus has been started, replacing the options program. New options will no longer be granted and the existing granted options as at December 31, 2019 in the number of 1,651 thousand are preserved, i.e. after a proportional reduction of the original annual allocations in 2019. The program of long-term performance bonus is based on performance units that will be allocated to each beneficiary every year. The number of performance units allocated is based on the defined yearly value of a given long-term bonus and the price of stocks before the allocation. The Supervisory Board sets out the performance indicators for each year's allocation of the performance units. The defined performance indicators will be evaluated by the Supervisory Board and number of performance units allocated to a beneficiary will be adjusted accordingly. Then a two-year holding period will follow. The long-term performance bonus will be paid three years after the initial allocation, and the amount will be based on the adjusted number of performance units as well as on the stock price at the end of the holding period and the amount of dividends distributed during the holding period.

1) In 2019 and 2018 the weighted average share price at the date of the exercise for the options exercised was CZK 542.81 and CZK 539.42, respectively. 2) At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the number of exercisable options was 540 thousand and 390 thousand, respectively. The weighted average exercise price of the

exercisable options was CZK 455.32 per share and CZK 443.84 per share at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

3) The original annual allocations in 2019 were proportionally reduced on the termination of the share options plan at December 31, 2019 to correspond to the number of options determined based on the number of days remaining from the date of the relevant 2019 allocation until the end of the share option plan. The presented number corresponds to the total number of options granted in 2019 after this reduction.

The fair value of the options is estimated on the date of grant using the binomial option-pricing model. Because these stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of stock options.

At the grant dates, the underlying assumptions and the resulting fair values per option were as follows:

2019 2018
Weighted average assumptions:
Dividend yield 3.6% 2.7%
Expected volatility 15.7% 18.1%
Mid-term risk-free interest rate 1.6% 0.9%
Expected life (years) 1.4 1.4
Share price (CZK per share) 533.7 543.4
Weighted average grant-date fair value of options (CZK per 1 option) 36.3 41.4

The expected life of the options is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of the exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumption that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the exercise prices of outstanding options (in thousands pieces) were in the following ranges:

2019 2018
CZK 400–500 per share 540 1,124
CZK 500–600 per share 1,111 780
Total 1,651 1,904

The options granted which were outstanding as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 had an average remaining contractual life of 1.9 years and 2.3 years, respectively.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the Shareholders of ČEZ, a. s.:

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of ČEZ, a. s. (hereinafter also the "Company") prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS EU"), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2019, and the statement of income, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. For details of the Company, see Note 1 to the financial statements.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of ČEZ, a. s. as at 31 December 2019, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the IFRS EU.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Act on Auditors, Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council, and Auditing Standards of the Chamber of Auditors of the Czech Republic, which are International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), as amended by the related application clauses. Our responsibilities under this law and regulation are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Act on Auditors and the Code of Ethics adopted by the Chamber of Auditors of the Czech Republic and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

Impairment of assets

The Company conducts annual impairment tests of assets' balances. The impairment test involves determining the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit as a whole or individual assets, which corresponds to the value in use or selling price less cost to sell. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from a cash-generating unit.

These calculations of potential impairment amounts are a key audit matter as there is a significant uncertainty in relation to regulatory matters or government support for renewable energy, which are, together with other significant assumptions included in the estimated future cash flows, main inputs to the calculations. Main assumptions that are subject to significant estimation uncertainty are projected future wholesale electricity prices, prices of emission allowances, market access, development of the regulatory environment and discount rates as well as the strategy of the Company. Future cash flows relate to events and actions that have not yet occurred and may not occur. Another reason for impairment to be a key audit matter is the fact that the determination of cash-generating unit is to some extent subject to management judgement.

Our procedures included assessing the assumptions and methodologies used by the Company in their value in use models and assessment of the selling price less cost to sell. We involved our internal valuation specialists in assessing the adequacy of the Company's model used for the calculation of weighted average cost of capital and we also evaluated mathematical accuracy, underlying data and assumptions used in the calculation. We evaluated main assumptions that are subject to significant estimates such as future wholesale electricity prices, prices of emission allowances, development of the regulatory environment and compared them to those observable on the market. We compared electricity prices as well as the prices of emission allowances to the contracts, which are actively traded on the market, and we assessed reasonableness of the Company's projections of these future prices for periods, for which the market data are not available. We also discussed the assumptions with our internal valuation specialists in the respective countries.

We analyzed the budgets and future cash flows of the cash-generating units. We compared the expected developments in budgeted cash flows to the expectations presented by the management while assessing the main assumptions of the models and discussing alternatives. We also assessed the adequacy of the model used for the impairment test calculation together with the definition of the cash-generating units and mathematical accuracy of the calculations.

We also focused on whether the Company's disclosures in the financial statements in relation to the impairment of assets, as presented and disclosed in Notes 3. Property, Plant and Equipment, 5. Other Financial Assets, Net and 29. Impairment of Financial Assets, are compliant with the IFRS EU.

Fair value measurement of financial instruments

Due to the significance of financial instruments measured at fair value, and a high degree of judgement related to their valuation, we consider this as a key audit matter.

We involved the internal valuation specialists to assist us in performing our audit procedures. We assessed the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the valuation, data integrity, independent price verification and model approval.

For areas of higher risk and estimation, our audit procedures focused on the comparison of judgments made to market practice and reperformance of valuations over a selection of instruments, assessing the key inputs, assumptions and models used in the valuation process. We compared our results with the Company's valuation.

We also focused on whether the Company's disclosures in the financial statements in relation to the valuation of financial instruments, as presented and disclosed in Note 14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments, are compliant with the IFRS EU.

Classification of commodity contracts

The Company is entering into commodity contracts on different markets and platforms mainly in Central Europe and Germany. Commodity trading activities include trading with electricity, gas, emission allowances, oil and coal.

This is a key audit matter as the distinction between the contracts in scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, which are treated as derivatives at fair value, and "own use" contracts, which are not remeasured to fair value, might be subject to a judgement and classification patterns set by the Company. This classification depends among other factors on the terms of the contract, whether the contract is considered to have been entered into as part of ordinary business activity, whether contract requires physical delivery of the commodity, and depends on various assumptions such as expected amount of commodity to be delivered, generation capacity of the portfolio mix and prices of commodities.

We tested the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the initial recognition of the contract, consistency of the commodity contract designation and the Company's ability to deliver the physical commodity over the contractual period.

We performed audit procedures focusing on the analysis and comparison of volume of commodities physically delivered during 2019 and the volumes of the "own use" contracts portfolio. We reviewed the ability of the Company to physically deliver the contracted future "own use" sales retrospectively and prospectively and the stability of portfolio to ensure that the contracts are not reclassified during their existence.

We also focused on whether the Company's disclosures in the financial statements in relation to the commodity contracts classification, as presented and disclosed in Notes 2.13. Commodity Contracts and 22. Gains and Losses from Commodity Derivative Trading, are compliant with the IFRS EU.

Other Information

In compliance with Section 2(b) of the Act on Auditors, the other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and auditor's report thereon. The Board of Directors is responsible for the other information.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. In addition, we assess whether the other information has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with applicable law or regulation, in particular, whether the other information complies with law or regulation in terms of formal requirements and procedure for preparing the other information in the context of materiality, i.e. whether any non-compliance with these requirements could influence judgments made on the basis of the other information.

Based on the procedures performed, to the extent we are able to assess it, we report that:

  • The other information describing the facts that are also presented in the financial statements is, in all material respects, consistent with the financial statements; and
  • The other information is prepared in compliance with applicable law or regulation.

In addition, our responsibility is to report, based on the knowledge and understanding of the Company obtained in the audit, on whether the other information contains any material misstatement. Based on the procedures we have performed on the other information obtained, we have not identified any material misstatement.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the IFRS EU and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with above regulations will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the above law or regulation, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In compliance with Article 10(2) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council, we provide the following information in our independent auditor's report, which is required in addition to the requirements of International Standards on Auditing:

Provision of Non-audit Services

We declare that no prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council were provided by us to the Company. In addition, there are no other non-audit services which were provided by us to the Company and its controlled undertakings and which have not been disclosed in the annual report.
