1. Company Introduction and Highlights

Introduction by the Chief Executive Officer

Dear shareholders,

Looking back on 2021, the year cannot be called anything other than turbulent. We have faced several waves of the COVID-19 epidemic and, in the second half of the year, Europe experienced a price crisis due to a combination of many factors with wholesale energy prices soaring to all-time highs. Electricity prices for supply in 2022 more than quadrupled over the year 2021, the main reason being the extremely rising cost of generating electricity from carbon-based sources. CO2 emission allowance prices for supply in 2022 increased by almost 150% during 2021, mainly due to the strengthening of the European Union's decarbonization ambitions, and gas prices for supply in 2022 increased by almost 400%, mainly due to tight gas supply on world markets following COVID-19 and uncertainty of supply from Russia. In this situation, a number of energy suppliers have gone out of business. However, CEZ Group lived up to its reputation and remained a trustworthy and reliable partner even in these times.

The year 2021 confirmed the relevance of our long-term strategy aimed at developing emission-free generating facilities and providing quality and reliable services. The value of CEZ shareholders' assets almost doubled in the past year. The market capitalization increased from CZK 276 billion to CZK 444 billion during 2021. In addition, we paid our shareholders the second highest dividend in the Company's history at CZK 52 per share. The total return to shareholders for the year, i.e., the change in share value plus the dividend paid in the year, was over 70% and was the highest among all European energy companies included in the STOXX Europe 600 Utilities stock index.

Decarbonization has been the number one issue in the energy sector for many years. The drive to reduce CO2 emissions has become a truly global objective in 2021. The European Commission has further specified the parameters of the European Green Deal and backed the ambitious targets for CO2 reduction, renewable energy sources construction, and increased energy efficiency with further regulatory interventions and measures. In particular, it defined the reallocation of significant financial resources of European countries to support the achievement of climate goals and established a way of classifying the sustainability of different types of generating facilities within the framework of what we call taxonomy. ČEZ, as the largest generator and supplier of electricity in Czechia and a major producer in the region, has long been committed to decarbonization and intends to play a leading role in the overall transformation of the region's energy sector.

In 2021, we have therefore decided to make our long-standing strategy of transitioning to carbon neutrality more tangible and to significantly accelerate the overall reduction of emissions. In the accelerated VISION 2030—Clean Energy of Tomorrow strategy CEZ Group commits to fulfilling precise targets and public commitments in three ESG sustainability areas: Environmental, Social, and Governance. We have the ambition to become one of the top-ranked energy companies in Europe in ESG, and we estimate the implementation of the updated strategy to contribute to a 40% increase in EBITDA by 2030, beyond the impact of market electricity prices.

mini

Accelerated decarbonization is a key ambition of the updated strategy. This means, in particular, an earlier phase-out of coal-fired generation and a major conversion of the generation portfolio to low carbon. We intend to reduce the share of coalfired generation in total electricity generation to 25% by 2025 and to 12.5% by 2030. By 2030, we will completely phase out coal-fired heat generation. Coal-fired power generation in Czechia is likely to be phased out by 2033 at the latest, given the government's priorities, while current market conditions indicate that CEZ Group's coal-fired facilities will operate until 2030 at the latest. In line with these commitments, we shut down one of the largest coal-fired units in Czechia, the Energotrans 3 power plant with an installed capacity of 500 MW, in 2021. CEZ Group's emission intensity in electricity and heat generation reached 0.29t CO2e/MWh in 2021, thus decreasing by 13% year-on-year. Emissions of pollutants SO2 and NOX from electricity generation decreased by 45% and 26% year-on-year, respectively. CEZ Group is therefore meeting its emission reduction commitments in line with the Paris Agreement targets. In the area of emission-free sources development, we have the ambition to add a total of 6 GW of installed capacity of renewable primary photovoltaic sources by 2030, approximately 1.5 GW of which by 2025. By continuing to optimize the operation of the Temelín and Dukovany power plants, we aim to gradually increase emission-free nuclear generation above 32 TWh while maintaining maximum stability and operational safety. In 2021, our nuclear power plants reached the second highest generation in their history – 30.7 TWh.

Given our emphasis on social aspects, we are committed to providing all employees affected by the phase out of coal with the opportunity to transfer to another position, retraining, or compensation. We want to remain among the most attractive employers in Czechia. Our goal is to provide good working conditions for women and to increase their share in management positions. We intend to be the most reliable supplier of energy commodities and services in the region and to develop professional company management. In 2021, we obtained the prestigious ISO 37001:2016 anti-corruption certification. ČEZ is the first company listed on the Prague Stock Exchange and the first energy company in Central Europe to boast compliance with this international standard.

I am pleased that we were able to meet our initial earnings expectations even in the year of 2021. CEZ Group generated an operating profit before depreciation, interest, and tax of CZK 63.2 billion, significantly exceeding our initial estimate by more than CZK 3 billion. This was despite the fact that the Romanian and Bulgarian assets were sold earlier, so their operations took a shorter time to be consolidated. The proceeds from this successful sale contributed to debt reduction, higher dividends for shareholders and will be used for development investments in line with the updated strategy. We managed to increase EBITDA from existing assets by CZK 2.7 billion year-on-year, not only due to the reliable operation of the entire generation portfolio, but also due to exceptional additional gains from commodity trading, where we took advantage of the increased volatility in foreign commodity markets.

CEZ Group also demonstrated its strength and stability during the liquidity crisis at the end of 2021 resulting from the extreme increase in commodity prices and the consequent need to supply cash in the amount of hundreds of EUR millions per day as collateral for its sales contracts on exchanges. All the largest electricity generators in Europe faced a similar situation, especially those with significant volumes of pre-sold electricity. Unlike several major foreign energy companies, ČEZ did not have to apply for state guarantees and managed the situation within the framework of a prudent financial policy and risk management tools. ČEZ's overall debt adequacy and financial stability are also appreciated by rating agencies, which confirmed the Company's high ratings during the year.

The record increase in energy prices on wholesale markets caused existential problems for alternative suppliers in Czechia, who did not have enough purchased electricity and gas for their customers and were forced to announce their closure. Almost one million customers were transferred to the locally competent suppliers of last resort in accordance with the legislation and were forced to start paying current market prices for energy supplies, which were many times higher. Our subsidiary ČEZ Prodej, as one of the suppliers of last resort, had to immediately take care of electricity supplies for more than 370,000 clients. It is worth emphasizing that the existing customers of ČEZ Prodej and ČEZ ESCO benefit from a serious approach and a responsible hedging strategy, thanks to which the increase in market prices of commodities is reflected in the end price of customers with a delay and eliminates extreme price fluctuations.

CEZ Group has also demonstrated its reliability and trustworthiness in dealing with the impacts of COVID-19 and all related state and multinational measures. ČEZ is an entity of the state's critical infrastructure and is aware of its responsibility to ensure trouble-free electricity and heat supply. Therefore, based on the experience of previous years, we have taken a very conservative approach in 2021 and have often been more stringent than others in implementing protective and preventive measures. For example, we were the first to introduce precautionary employee testing at the very beginning of the year and then maintained it throughout the year in some operations. This ensured that all generation and distribution sites ran smoothly throughout 2021. I am proud of our employees who were able to achieve excellent availability of generating facilities in these conditions preventing even higher electricity price increases for end-use customers, and who were able to contribute to an excellent result in all business segments.

Preparations for the new nuclear power plant in Dukovany continued in 2021. We received the approval of the State Office for Nuclear Safety for the siting of two nuclear units at the location for a maximum capacity of 2 × 1,200 MW and submitted an application for a zoning permit. Only three bidders who have met the Czech government's safety requirements remain among the candidates for completion.

Finally, I must mention the conflict in Ukraine, which escalated just before this Annual Report was approved. CEZ Group has taken security measures as a critical Czech infrastructure entity and is intensively assessing the potential impact of the conflict, including the ensuing sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation, which may negatively affect the European energy industry, including CEZ Group's operations.

Let me assure you that CEZ Group will do everything in its power to build on an extremely successful 2021 even in these difficult conditions. I am confident that we will be able to contribute to further increasing the Company value for our shareholders, to maximizing customer satisfaction, and to meeting the other goals of VISION 2030—Clean Energy of Tomorrow.

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

Payment of Dividends to Shareholders

The Company's annual shareholders' meeting, held on June 28, 2021, decided to pay a dividend of CZK 52 per share to the Company shareholders. It was payable from August 2, 2021, and can be claimed until July 31, 2025.

CEZ Group's adjusted consolidated net profit for 2020 amounted to CZK 22.8 billion. From this base, an ordinary dividend component corresponding to 100% of the adjusted consolidated net profit for 2020 was determined. In addition, an extraordinary dividend component of CZK 5.2 billion was determined to reflect the contribution of the sale of Romanian assets to the total debt capacity of CEZ Group.

Entities that were shareholders of ČEZ at the record date, July 2, 2021, 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 excluding the dividend attributable to equity shares was accounted for as a liability to shareholders of CZK 27.9 billion.

Dividend Policy

mini

Since 2019, ČEZ has applied a dividend policy that anticipates paying out 80–100% of consolidated net income adjusted for extraordinary effects generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given year. The dividend policy has been updated with effect from January 1, 2023. The payout ratio was adjusted to 60–80% of consolidated net income adjusted for extraordinary effects generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given year.

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 events that might affect the share price on an ad hoc basis. A conference call was held in July 2021 during which senior management presented the updated strategy and new ESG targets. Approximately 60 participants joined the event. In accordance with good practice, ČEZ also maintains active dialog with capital market participants through personal meetings with analysts and representatives of institutional investors.

Developments in Relevant Energy Markets

Electricity prices are normally based on the prices of energy commodities, mainly hard coal and gas, and the price of CO2 emission allowances.

Wholesale electricity prices for 2022 in Germany were around EUR 50/MWh (Cal22) at the beginning of 2021. By July, they had gradually increased to around EUR 70/MWh, the main reason being the gradual increase in the emission allowance price. Natural gas prices have then increased significantly since the summer. This was a key reason why electricity prices increased to a record high of EUR 325/MWh on December 22. After a subsequent correction, they closed at EUR 220/MWh (Cal22).

The European hard coal price started at USD 70/t (Dec22) in 2021. Coal consumption increased above forecasts due to unexpectedly fast economic growth and adverse weather. Global producers failed to respond to the rising consumption, the market shortage occurred and coal prices increased. During the year, China's dominant import position was again reaffirmed, taking over 20% of the world coal market by volume. Throughout September, coal shortages in China contributed to the frequent power outages there. There was speculation of loosening China's ban on Australian coal imports, but it ultimately remained in place through 2021. Prices for imports to Europe have increased above USD 180/t. The Chinese government came up with a set of measures in October that resulted in increased generation from local mines and a subsequent decrease in local prices. Coal prices outside the Chinese market then started to decrease, ending the year around the USD 100/t mark in Europe (Cal22). Natural gas prices increased steadily during 2021, surpassing historic highs. A very long winter led to increased withdrawals from storage. Below-average filled storage facilities and strong Asian competition for LNG purchases led to a gradual increase in prices already during the summer months. As winter approached, the possible commissioning of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia to Europe became a major issue. However, the pipeline has not yet been commissioned in 2021 or beyond due to the suspension of certification in Germany in connection with the escalation of the Ukraine crisis. European reservoirs remained below average before the winter, mainly due to insufficient gas supplies from Russia. By the end of the year, prices had increased to EUR 140/MWh (Cal22). The emission allowance price was increasing steadily throughout 2021. The upward trend over the long term is driven by increasing decarbonization ambitions. In recent months, demand for extra allowances has been increasing due to expensive gas: generating electricity from coal is cheaper than from extremely expensive natural gas, but with 2–3 times higher emissions per unit of energy delivered. The announcement by the new German government to introduce a price floor of EUR 60/t also has an upward impact. The steep price increase to approx. EUR 90/t has triggered efforts by some countries to regulate the market. They were also unsuccessful as the hypothesis of market manipulation by speculators was not confirmed.

From autumn 2021 onwards, an increasing risk premium began to be reflected in the price of electricity. This mirrored the potentially extreme price scenarios in the escalation of relations between the US and Russia in the context of the Ukraine crisis.

Electricity and Emission Allowance Prices (Year-on-Year Comparison)

Unit December 31, 2020 December 31, 2021
Electricity price in Czechia (2022 baseload) EUR/MWh 51.6 244.5

Determinants of the Electricity Sector's Future Development

The development of the energy sector will continue to be influenced mainly by the prices of hard coal, gas, and CO2 emission allowances, and the overall impact of regulation and the EU's decarbonization targets will become increasingly important. As interest in coal fades, prices will gradually decrease as the world market is well supplied with coal for export. Continued high natural gas prices may delay this decrease.

Natural gas supplies will gradually stabilize in the world and in Europe and prices will gradually decrease to their levels prior to the outbreak of COVID-19 over the following years. Long-term geopolitical tensions are a risk factor for gas prices, as well as the global drive for a faster transition to a lower-emission energy mix, coupled with higher gas consumption.

Allowance prices will be determined in the long term by the expected scarcity of allowances and therefore the cost of saving CO2. So far, most of this has been in the energy sector. CO2 savings will also need to be implemented in industry as early as this decade. These are considerably more expensive than in the energy sector, which is why, for example, the European Commission's impact study on the EU ETS estimates prices in the range of EUR 50–85/t (in 2020 prices). In addition, projects based on the Carbon Contract for Difference may play a major role. These could lead to large allowance savings in the event of an EU-wide roll-out and thus affect the supply/demand balance in the EU ETS.

Policy decisions are crucial for the long-term development of the electricity sector. The European Union intends to become climate neutral by 2050. It wants to reduce greenhouse gas production by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990. This basic orientation was adopted in December 2019 at the summit of EU Prime Ministers and Presidents. Specific measures to achieve the objectives have been proposed by the European Commission in the Fit for 55 legislative package. Key points include:

  • EU ETS emissions to be reduced by 61% by 2030 compared to 2005 (the current target is 43%).
  • The withdrawal of surplus allowances into the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) to remain at the current level of 24%.
  • A parallel ETS with zero free allocation is to be introduced for transport and buildings.
  • 40% of all energy consumed in the EU is to come from renewable sources by 2030; accompanying analyses show that the share of RES in the electricity sector will increase to almost 65%.
  • The share of RES in the heating sector is expected to increase at a rate of 1.1% per year.
  • National energy savings are expected to reach 0.8% till 2023 and 1.5% from 2024.
  • The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), also known as the "carbon tariff", is intended to level the playing field for industry inside and outside the EU; in the first phase it is likely to be applied mainly to commodities such as iron and steel, cement, fertilizers, aluminum, and electricity generation.
  • Emissions from new cars to reach zero by 2035; this means a transition to electromobility, which will involve increased consumption of zero-emission electricity, and to hydrogen cars.

The proposed directives will be discussed and approved within two to three years.

Technological progress continues to have a major impact on the energy sector, and renewables are now a standard part of the energy mix. In the German auctions, guaranteed feed-in tariffs for photovoltaics have decreased to EUR 50/MWh and for onshore wind to EUR 60/MWh. The new German government coalition has set ambitious targets for 2030: 200 GW of photovoltaics and 30 GW of offshore wind.

Electrification with an emphasis on zero-emission electricity will make a major contribution to decarbonization. Hydrogen deployment is an option in areas that are difficult or impossible to electrify. The European Commission presented a draft hydrogen strategy in July 2020, targeting the production of 1 million tons of hydrogen from 6 GW electrolyzers by 2024, or 10 million tons of hydrogen from 40 GW electrolyzers by 2030. Many European countries have progressively introduced their own hydrogen strategies. Hydrogen and similar technologies are expected to follow the path of rapid development and cheaper technologies as in the case of photovoltaics or wind sources.

These factors will have several significant impacts on electricity prices and the energy sector around 2030:

  • The increasing share of electricity from emission-free sources will lead to the price of allowances being much less reflected in the price of electricity than these days.
  • The high capacities of RES and especially photovoltaics will cause a significant cannibalization of prices: in the hours when these sources generate, their average selling price of electricity will be much lower than the average annual price, but in hours with a lack of sunshine or wind, electricity prices will be very high.
  • Electricity prices will be very volatile; flexibility from gas/hydrogen sources through energy storage (battery storage, hydrogen) to demand response will become a big issue.

Strategy

mini

Europe's energy sector is undergoing a major transformation towards sustainable solutions. The European Commission has been continuously increasing and accelerating ambitious targets for faster decarbonization, renewable energy development, and increasing energy efficiency, while at the same time envisaging their massive financial support from national governments. The current objectives and specific instruments are set out in the European Green Deal and fundamentally affect the business environment not only in the energy sector.

Czechia is developing the European Commission's targets into a climate and energy plan with an increase in the share of generation from renewable sources. The discussion on updating the Czech State Energy Policy to take more account of the European Green Deal has been intensifying. The government's Coal Commission is working to specify Czechia's decarbonization strategy. Work is underway on the National Action Plan for Smart Grids and Electromobility. The strengthening of energy sector digitization is being prepared. Discussion continues on how to secure electricity supplies after the end of generation from coal facilities and on the construction of new nuclear units. In 2020, Czechia signed a framework and first implementation agreement with ČEZ and Elektrárna Dukovany II for the first stage of the construction of a new nuclear power plant in Dukovany.

The current business concept of CEZ Group, updated in 2019 at the Company's annual shareholders' meeting, and the CEZ Group's strategy based on it estimates these trends and aims to maximize the business opportunities associated with the modernization, digitalization, and decarbonization of the energy sector in the EU.

CEZ Group's Mission and Vision

CEZ Group's mission is to provide safe, reliable, and positive energy to its customers and society as a whole. CEZ Group's vision is to bring innovations for addressing energy needs and help improve the quality of life.

The current strategy was defined in 2019 in line with the Company's updated business concept. In May 2021, as part of its accelerated strategy VISION 2030—Clean Energy of Tomorrow, CEZ Group defined strategic objectives for 2030 taking into account the EU's decarbonization vision and set specific ambitions in the area of social responsibility and sustainable development to maximize shareholder value.

Strategic Vision 2030 "Clean Energy of Tomorrow"

The main strategic priorities of the accelerated strategy—VISION 2030:

CEZ Group's comprehensive goal in responsible and sustainable development is to be among the top 20% of European utilities in ESG rating by 2023.

Selected objectives in the environmental area:

  • We will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris Agreement "Well below 2 Degrees" by 2030 (from 0.38t CO2e/MWh in 2019 to 0.16 in 2030).
  • We will reduce the SO2 emissions from 21 kt in 2019 to 6.5 kt by 2025 and 3 kt by 2030.
  • We will reduce the NOX emissions from 23 kt in 2019 to 13 kt by 2025 and 7 kt by 2030.

Selected objectives in the area of social relations:

  • We will continue to be decent corporate citizens, cultivating good relationships with communities.
  • We will maintain our position of the most attractive employer for future talents and current employees.
  • We will ensure a fair transition for all employees affected by shifting away from coal through retraining, reskilling, or compensation.
  • We will maintain the highest Net Promoter Score (NPS) among the leading electricity suppliers.
  • We will digitize all key customer processes by 2025.

Selected objectives in the area of corporate governance:

  • We will achieve 30% female representation in management.
  • We will increase the proportion of women in management in non-technical segments to 30% by 2025.
  • We will increase the frequency of employee training concerning the Code of Ethics and train at least 95% of employees each year from 2022 on.

ESG and Sustainable Development Social Objectives

CEZ Group's strategy fully reflects the principles of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) and sustainability, i.e., emphasis on assessing and managing the environmental impact of business, on internal and external stakeholders and society-wide interests, and on responsible and ethical corporate governance. In accordance with GRI and other international standards, CEZ Group prepares the CEZ Group Sustainability Report every year.

ESG and a sustainable approach are an integral part of CEZ Group's management and corporate strategy. It is not a one-off compliance with new requirements, but a continuous adaptation of CEZ Group's strategy to all trends in the energy sector and approach to business as such. At the same time, it is not possible to separate the costs and investments for "meeting ESG requirements" from current costs and investments. However, CEZ Group expects the largest share of costs in the area of the overall transformation of its generating portfolio towards a fully emission-free generation, where it has set very ambitious goals in terms of decarbonization and overall carbon neutrality. CEZ Group is ready for a major transformation of the energy sector, with a clear plan for the gradual decarbonization of its generating portfolio, it prepares massive development and construction of renewable and lowcarbon sources, and the development of e-mobility, modern distribution networks and energy savings, and optimal energy solutions for end-use customers.

An increased focus on ESG topics and meeting global climate goals can also be expected in the context of the conclusions of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow in 2021. Meeting the EU's ambitious climate targets will not be easy and will be very costly for both citizens and the member states. However, for a commercial company like ČEZ, it represents primarily a significant business opportunity.

Approach to Climate Protection

Reducing the impact of energy on the environment and contributing to the fulfillment of global climate goals are long-term strategic goals of CEZ Group. CEZ Group has spent tens of billions of CZK on desulfurisation, denitrification, reduction of CO2 emissions, and other environmental measures, and constantly takes steps ahead to meet all emission and environmental requirements set by legislation and regulatory bodies.

The main environmental priorities include decarbonization, i.e., reducing CO2 emissions and SO2 and NOX emissions in electricity generation.

Decarbonization

mini

CEZ Group has long been committed to the goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and in 2015, it signed up to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 in accordance with the conclusions of the Paris climate conference. The emission intensity of CEZ Group's greenhouse gases—expressed as CO2 equivalent—decreased from 0.41 to 0.29t CO2e per MWh of electricity and heat generated between 2017 and 2021 as part of the decarbonization strategy. The CO2e indicator corresponds to emissions as defined in Scope 1 of the GHG Protocol. In CEZ Group's terms, these are emissions related not only to the combustion of fossil fuels in electricity and heat generation, but also to CO2 emissions from transport. In addition to direct CO2 emissions, the CO2 equivalent is also derived from CH4 and N2O emissions from biomass combustion, CH4 emissions from coal mining, and HFC, PFC, and SF6 emissions from air conditioning and other equipment.

In the future, CEZ Group intends to actively continue decarbonizing its portfolio and gradually shut down coal-fired power plants without jeopardizing its obligations to supply stable electricity and heat.

Attendance at the Shareholders' Meeting

A person registered as a shareholder in the register of investment instruments (Central Securities Depository) has the right to participate in the shareholders' meeting. The record date for attendance at the shareholders' meeting is the seventh day preceding the date on which the shareholders' meeting is held. The shareholders' meeting is further attended by members of the Board of Directors, Supervisory Board, Audit Committee, and persons that can reasonably give their opinion on items of the agenda can also be invited, such as the Company's auditors and advisers, as well as individuals that make arrangements for the shareholders' meeting.

Procedure at the Shareholders' Meeting

The person presiding at the shareholders' meeting must make sure that all proposals and such counterproposals that were submitted in a due and timely manner are communicated to shareholders at the shareholders' meeting. They must also ensure that an explanation of matters provided for by law is given at shareholders' request.

At the shareholders' meeting, shareholders may vote, request and receive explanations in matters concerning the Company or its controlled entities, apply proposals and counterproposals, and file protests.

Each shareholders' meeting shall, as a general rule, last for a maximum of 10 hours from its opening, whereas this maximum duration shall not include the time when (i) the Board of Directors (or other elected body) submits its proposals, reports, or other communications to the shareholders' meeting; (ii) a break is announced in order to prepare responses to the submitted requests for clarification; and (iii) the procedure of the shareholders' meeting is interrupted due to a fact preventing the continuation of its proper course.

If during the shareholders' meeting it becomes clear that it is not possible to discuss all matters included in its agenda without exceeding this maximum duration, the Board of Directors is entitled (even repeatedly, or after exceeding this maximum duration) to propose to the shareholders' meeting either (i) suspending the discussion and postponing unresolved issues to another specified date, time, and place (but not later than the fifth working day after the commencing day of the shareholders' meeting), or (ii) postponing unresolved issues to the next shareholders' meeting pursuant to Section 409 of the Business Corporations Act. The Board of Directors is obliged to submit to the shareholders' meeting a draft of any of the above decisions whenever it receives the relevant initiative from the Chairman of the shareholders' meeting. If the shareholders' meeting fails to make any of the above decisions, the shareholders' meeting will continue even after exceeding this so-called maximum duration. Discussing the request for explanation takes place in two rounds, separately for each item on the shareholder's meeting agenda, or for several items on the agenda together. Requests for explanation are preferred (but not mandatory) in written form. A shareholder is obliged to submit written submissions containing a request for explanation either before the beginning of the shareholders' meeting, delivering it to the Company, or at the shareholders' meeting via the information center. A shareholder is not entitled to read the written submission containing the request for explanation during their

oral address. A shareholder is obliged to deliver any extensive submissions with requests for explanations (containing more than 10 requests for explanations or clearly exceeding 4 standard pages of text) to the Company in writing at least two working days before the date of the shareholders' meeting. A shareholder may also submit their request for explanation during their oral address, within the first or second round of request discussions, provided that they register in the relevant round in time and observe the other rules set for individual rounds during their address.

In the first round, each shareholder is entitled only to one address, whereas the address is limited in time (maximum 10 minutes), and they may submit a maximum of 5 requests for explanation during the address. In addition, they shall be entitled to add a justification of explanation orally to their requests for explanations submitted with their written submissions. In the second round, the number of addresses of one shareholder is not limited, but the total time of all their addresses may not exceed 10 minutes. The second round ends with the submission of an explanation to all submitted requests for explanation, provided that no other shareholders are registered for their address. The Chairman of the shareholders' meeting is entitled, based on a reasoned request from the shareholder(s), to decide after discussion with the Board of Directors that shareholders may speak for a certain time (usually no longer than 30 minutes) and submit brief requests for explanation (at this additional time provided, the number of requests for explanation per shareholder or the time limit for oral address per shareholder is not limited; however, the total duration of this additional time will be determined).

A representative (including a member of a statutory body) of several shareholders is considered to be one shareholder for the purposes of the above restrictions.

Explanations may be provided as a summary response to multiple requests for explanation with similar contents. 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. An explanation is deemed to have been given to a shareholder even if the information was published on the Company's website no later than on the day preceding the day of the shareholders, meeting and is available to the shareholders at the place of the shareholders' meeting.

When voting, the proposal of the Board of Directors is first voted on, then the proposal of the Supervisory Board and then the proposals and counterproposals of shareholders in the order in which they were submitted (this does not apply if the item was included on the shareholders' meeting agenda on the basis of a request from shareholders referred to in Sec. 365 of the Business Corporations Act, where the proposal of the given shareholders is first voted on). Once a proposal has been approved, further proposals and counterproposals contrary to the approved proposal shall no longer be voted on. If a shareholder intends to submit a proposal or counterproposal to the shareholders' meeting agenda, they are obliged to deliver it to the Company in writing no later than ten days before the date of the shareholders' meeting (this does not apply in the case of proposals and counterproposals for the election or removal of specific persons to/from a Company body).

The term of office of a substitute Supervisory Board member is included in the total term of office of the member of the Supervisory Board.

Supervisory Board Decision-Making

mini

The Supervisory Board constitutes a quorum if a majority of all its members, that is, at least 7 members, is present. Each member of the Supervisory Board has one vote when making decisions. The Supervisory Board makes decisions by a majority of the votes of all members unless the Company's bylaws stipulate otherwise. 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. A record is made of the course of each Supervisory Board meeting and the resolutions passed.

The participation of members of the Supervisory Board in meetings is usually personal, or in justified cases it is possible to use technical means (telephone conference, video conference). 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. The resolution is adopted if at least twothirds 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. Supervisory Board meetings are held usually once a month. In 2021, 13 meetings were held: 11 regular meetings and 2 extraordinary meetings. 3 members were absent from 1 meeting, 2 members were absent from 1 meeting, and 1 member was absent from 1 meeting, none of which were the same person.

Risk Management, Internal Audit, and Compliance

Risk Management

mini

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 crowns 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. Since 2021, CEZ Group has been using the Unified Group Risk Management scheme, which is a means of covering decentralized managed risk processes by introducing a single, centrally coordinated process for managing risks that are important for the Group across CEZ Group's process areas using an appropriate software tool.

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 five-year 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
  • CEZ Group's significant operational risks are recorded, monitored, and managed under the Unified Group Significant Risk Management Scheme

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
  • CEZ Group's significant business and strategic risks are recorded, monitored, and managed under the Unified Group Significant Risk Management Scheme

Insurance

mini

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

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. The internal audit activity at ČEZ is performed by the audit and compliance department. The unit reports directly to the Company's Board of Directors. The unit's independence and efficiency are overseen by the ČEZ Audit Committee. All key processes and segments of CEZ Group, including abroad, are subject to internal audit supervision. 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 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 2021 according to the requirements of these 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 corruption risks) and integrating follow-up audits.

A total of 35 audits were conducted in 2021: 14 at ČEZ and 21 at subsidiaries and affiliates (including two audits at foreign shareholdings) where audits are conducted by ČEZ's internal audit function under a contract.

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 department 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 Board of Directors of ČEZ.

In 2021, ČEZ's internal audit passed an independent external quality assessment in accordance with the International Standards for Internal Auditing and the Code of Ethics issued by the International Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA). The result of the assessment shows that ČEZ's internal audit is fully compliant with these international standards and this Code of Ethics and is one of the most advanced internal audit departments in terms of maturity compared to comparable departments of European energy companies and companies included in the DAX 30 index.

Ethics and Compliance

The area of ethics and compliance forms an integral part of the management of CEZ Group companies. CEZ Group has implemented the Compliance Management System (CMS), which is an effective tool for managing the risks of breaching legal obligations, and ethical and internal code of conduct. The CEZ Group's Compliance Management System is designed in accordance with international compliance standards, in particular ISO 37001:2016—Anti-Corruption Management System and ISO 19600:2014 Compliance Management System. In 2021, ČEZ completed certification of its anti-corruption management system according to ISO 37001:2016—the first energy company in Central Europe to do so. The certificate was awarded to ČEZ by the German branch of the consulting company KPMG. The certificate confirms that ČEZ has set up a comprehensive anti-corruption system, including an anti-bribery policy, the basic principle of which is zero tolerance for any form of corrupt behavior, whether direct or through third parties.

The Board of Directors of ČEZ has clearly declared its commitment to building and developing CEZ Group's CMS based on transparent ethical principles. In order to enforce this commitment, it established the Corporate Compliance Committee as its advisory body, to which it has delegated operational management in the area of corporate compliance. The members of the committee are representatives of several professional departments within CEZ Group (the security department and the legal services) and its chairman is the Manager of the Audit and Compliance Department of ČEZ. The Committee evaluates current and potential compliance risks, assesses their impact, evaluates the level of their management, and regularly informs the Board of Directors about the results of its activities and about the main events, performance, and results of CEZ Group's CMS. The focus of compliance activities is regularly revised on the basis of a compliance risk analyses, which is also approved by the Board of Directors of ČEZ.

The commitment of the Company's management to promoting ethical principles in business activities and in the conduct of its employees and business partners is enshrined in two major CEZ Group documents. These are the Code of Ethics (Ethical Conduct Policy), which sets out the ethical rules of conduct for employees and members of CEZ Group's statutory bodies, and the Compliance Management System Policy, which sets out the responsibilities, conditions, and tools in the field of CEZ Group's compliance. The Code of Ethics is binding for all employees. Familiarity with the Code is verified by regular mandatory online training. All employees undergoing training must also actively declare their compliance with CEZ Group's ethical principles. Follow-up management documents specify procedures in individual areas, such as training, preventing conflicts of interest, verifying employees and business partners, giving and accepting gifts, ethics, and follow-up compliance investigations. Ethical rules are also defined for all CEZ Group suppliers in the Commitment to Ethical Conduct, which is part of the agreements concluded with suppliers and which is listed on the CEZ Group website. Compliance with these rules is regularly verified through internal audits and compliance checks, while compliance checks are also carried out on suppliers. Fields of conflict of interest, gifts, corruption prevention, etc. are regularly inspected in this manner. Strong emphasis is placed on education in the areas of ethics and compliance. All CEZ Group employees undergo regular training at least once every two years. Starting from 2022, this interval will be reduced to one year. Specialized training is also organized focused on specific topics (e.g., in the area of corruption prevention, all employees of the ČEZ Procurement Department are trained on an annual basis). CEZ Group's Ethics Hotline, available on the CEZ Group website, is an effective CMS tool not only for employees but also for business partners and the general public. It is designed to ensure the whistleblower anonymity, and their protection against sanctions or discrimination. Any information reported by its means is subsequently investigated internally and corrective action is taken based on the findings. Dozens of notifications are reviewed annually.

The entire compliance management system was independently externally assessed by Deloitte during 2021. The assessment concluded that the compliance function at CEZ Group meets the requirements defined in the ISO 37301:2021 Compliance Management Systems—Requirements with Guidance for Use and the methodology of the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office on the application of Section 8(5) of the Act on Criminal Liability of Legal Entities and Proceedings Against Them. It was also confirmed that compliance at CEZ Group includes appropriate elements of prevention, detection and response, which are generally considered to be an essential part of compliance programs.

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.

mini

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 in accordance with the signature rules.

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.

In the period since the publication of the Annual Report 2020, Elektrárna Mělník III, a. s., ceased to be a member of the Concern and was dissolved on February 2, 2022 as a result of liquidation. ČEZ Distribuce and ČEZ Energetické služby (operates local distribution networks) are subjected to concern management in compliance with all requirements of unbundling rules resulting from the Energy Act and Directive 2019/944 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 management. 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 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

Safety Management

mini

Safety is CEZ Group's topmost priority. The manner of managing and ensuring the safety and security of generating facilities, environmental protection, and the protection of individuals and the public is defined in the Safety and Environmental Protection Policy. In 2021, it was revised to reflect contemporary trends in policy formulation and to reflect CEZ Group's current direction in the areas of safety and environmental protection, sustainable development, and social responsibility. The policy is linked to CEZ Group's strategic priorities and determines the long-term direction of CEZ Group to support and continuously improve performance in this area. It develops corporate principles, especially the Safety principle, based on a safety culture representing group and individual values, attitudes, competencies, and patterns of behavior that determine the commitment, style, and expertise of CEZ Group employees in the field of safety and environmental protection. This principle is presented to employees through internal communication tools and at regular training sessions.

CEZ Group implements the principle of continuous improvement within its management system. It is an interconnected evaluation system, which is followed by a sequence of activities for addressing the findings, followed by a comprehensive assessment of the management system's effectiveness and efficiency at all levels of management, with outputs implemented to increase performance.

One of the basic goals is to set and maintain a systemic approach to safety management to meet the legal requirements and other requirements based on international ISO standards for management systems in the areas of fire protection, emergency preparedness, health, and safety and environmental protection. Safety culture forms an integral part of corporate culture and is an indicator of behavior and compliance with safety standards and safety management in the company, where weaknesses are considered as starting points and opportunities for improvement.

The main principles and priorities in the field of safety are approved for each year by the Board of Directors of ČEZ in the document Regulations of the Board of Directors of ČEZ, a. s., on Annual Tasks.

Part of the main principles and priorities in the area of safety is the obligation for ČEZ, a. s., and CEZ Group companies to determine the Safety Topic of the Year, which builds on the key performance indicators and priorities and is based on regular safety risk assessments. At the same time, safety indicators are determined in a graded manner (number of fatal injuries of employees through the employer's fault, accident frequency, and other indicators).

The Company's management is presented with the Annual Report on the CEZ Group's State of Safety. In environmental protection, ČEZ proceeds in compliance with applicable law as well as Czechia's international commitments. CEZ Group's centrally managed internal regulations give priority to safety in all processes and activities.

In accordance with the declared concern interest "CEZ Group Uniform Governance System" management systems are introduced to support corporate governance at companies that are certified by accredited certification bodies or audited by relevant independent bodies, as appropriate, which is in line with stakeholder expectations. The certification of individual companies within CEZ Group supports transparency and communication toward the general public and other stakeholders. Management systems are a tool for systematically reducing the risks of environmental disasters and serious work-related injuries. For the area of occupational safety and health, a management system has been introduced according to the Safe Enterprise program, or according to the standard ČSN ISO 45001.

Safety of Operated Nuclear Power Plants

ČEZ's nuclear power plants were operated in compliance with applicable nuclear energy legislation in 2021, fulfilling the conditions of all valid licenses.

Nuclear Power Plant Safety Enhancement Plans were evaluated, updated, and implemented in relation to the Nuclear Safety Policy. The assessments and updates are carried out every April. The actions supporting the improvement of the nuclear power plant safety were implemented in 2021 on schedule while complying with all the government's COVID-19 pandemic measures. Dukovany and Temelín are among the first nuclear facilities in the world to undergo an information and cyber security audit. Based on the successful audit of the Information Security Management System (ISMS), ČEZ received a certificate issued in accordance with the relevant international ISO standard, which is valid until October 2024.

The nuclear power plants have passed the International Atomic Energy Agency's IPPAS international audit in the area of physical and digital attack. The audit objective was to assess the level of physical and cyber security assurance and to check compliance with international rules and recommendations. The detailed results of the audit are not public, however, they are available to state officials and selected representatives of the operator. In April, both nuclear power plants successfully passed the second and final part of the first periodic environmental audit, which was postponed from autumn 2020 due to COVID-19. The second periodic environmental audit was carried out in autumn 2021, also successful for both facilities. The facilities are due to renew their ecological certificate in the autumn of 2022 with a three-year validity.

In 2021, emergency exercises were conducted at both nuclear power plants, practicing the use of alternative and mobile means. Exercises and training were carried out according to approved scenarios, and the implementation of the exercises was part of the training days of the operation shifts.

Nuclear Power Plant Safety Indicators in 2021

Indicator Number of Events
Dukovany NPP Temelín NPP
INES 0 events 6 11
INES 1 events 1 0

Note: Status as of February 28, 2022.

Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant

In early 2021, the outage to refuel Unit 1 continued under stringent COVID-19 measures, including preventive antigen testing of employees and contractors. Shortly after its completion, an outage followed to refuel Unit 4 and then Unit 3. The end of the year saw the outage of Unit 2 (from November 19, 2021, to February 9, 2022), which was affected by stricter regulations and the reintroduction of antigen testing. The length of the Unit 2 outage was determined by the scope of the work, which included, among other things, a pilot steam generator cleaning.

During the outages, in addition to fuel replacement and regular maintenance, significant investment actions were carried out to improve the safety of the nuclear power plant (replacement of heterogeneous welded joints on the super emergency feed sleeves of the steam generators, optimization of the steam generator impulse insurance valve bodies, measurement of turbine blade oscillations, restoration of power supply to the Central Pumping Station in Jihlava to ensure long-term operation). In the period from April 19, to May 7, 2021, the international WANO Peer Review took place at the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant. A team of international experts defined 9 areas for improvement and also identified 3 good practices that will become examples for other nuclear power plants.

In May, the first planned radiation emergency management exercise took place. Due to the measures currently in force against the spread of COVID-19, the exercise was conducted without assembly and sheltering of personnel, only checking the availability of the members of the shelter and assembly teams. As part of an investment project on the premises of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant in June, a supplier's employee was fatally injured by falling through the roof of an auxiliary warehouse located in the Unit 1 machine room without any fault on the part of ČEZ.

The loading machines of the generating units were upgraded in 2021. The modernization affected the machines, the rails on which the machines run, and other parts to ensure their reliability for the next 30 years. The loading machines play an important role in the reactor's fuel change.

Temelín Nuclear Power Plant

mini

The outage for the Unit 1 refueling in the spring was conducted in a tightened "COVID mode", i.e., in full testing mode for employees and contractors. Key occupations were strictly separated into two teams, for which the COVID-19 testing frequency was shortened. In addition to refueling and regular checking of safety systems and the turbine, two separators (the equipment in the non-nuclear section that removes moisture from the steam and then heats it) were replaced; the benefit of the new separators is an extra MWe increase in the output of Unit 1, with the environmental benefit of saving units of thousands of tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. In addition, special equipment has been installed on the turbine to reduce vibration and the diagnostic system has been was strengthened.

The outage for refueling Unit 2, planned for the beginning of July, started a week earlier, as a storm and strong winds caused the collapse of three poles of the extra-high voltage line connecting the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant with the Kočín substation. Due to the outage of the line outside the plant site, Unit 2 could not discharge electricity and the automatic systems shut it down. Safety was not affected.

Temelín Nuclear Power Plant meets international requirements for safe operation. This follows from the settlement of a request by the nuclear supervision for a Periodic Safety Review (PSR). The documentation alone took over 20,000 pages. The purpose of the assessment was to compare with international requirements and recommendations. These can be even more stringent and detailed than the requirements of Czech legislation.

In October, the international WANO FOLLOW-UP mission took place at the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant. A team of international experts verified the implementation of the corrective measures recommended during the mission in 2019. The mission outcomes are positive as key recommended corrective solutions have been implemented, e.g., in the areas of maintenance, work management, or operations.

ČEZ completed and submitted the application for the operating permit for Temelín Unit 2. The permit is subject to regular ten-year cycles, during which the power plant must demonstrate that it meets all conditions related to safe operation. The existing permit for Unit 2 expires on May 31, 2022, and therefore ČEZ has delivered the necessary documents to the authority in advance.

Since 2016, ČEZ has been the administrator of critical information infrastructure in the sense of Act No. 181/2014 Sb., on cybersecurity, and since 2019, the designation under the Act has been extended for ČEZ both in the critical information infrastructure (especially for electricity generation facilities), and in the field of basic services information systems (thermal energy generation facilities).

During 2021, cybersecurity was fully ensured in ČEZ in accordance with the requirements of the Cybersecurity Act and with an emphasis on protecting the key assets of CEZ Group companies. Training of employees of CEZ Group companies and suppliers in information and cybersecurity continues to be a priority. Compliance with specific security rules is required, which is supported by security tools as well as appropriate information and technological system configuration.

ČEZ opened the integrated Security Operations Center (iSOC) in 2021. This is an integrated security operations center overseeing the security status of CEZ Group, including oversight of information and cyber security. Its purpose is to identify security events, support the management of security incidents, and also act in the area of prevention.

In December 2021, ČEZ, like other obliged entities in Czechia under the Cybersecurity Act, implemented tasks according to the reactive measure issued by the National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NÚKIB) regarding the security vulnerability of the Apache Log4j software component.

ČEZ also duly permanently honors its obligations concerning computer security pursuant to Act No. 263/2016 Sb., Atomic Energy Act. The final inspection report of SÚJB conducted in May states that the Company complies with the requirements of the Act.

ČEZ successfully obtained certification of the information and cyber security management system in the nuclear power division according to ISO/IEC 27001 in October 2021. A mission of the International Physical Protection Advisory Service (IPPAS) organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) took place in Czechia in November 2021 at the invitation of SÚJB. In both nuclear power plants, the mission examined, among other things, the security state of computer systems. In the final report, the audit team made a very positive assessment (good practice) and partial recommendations, which ČEZ will address responsibly in the coming period.

Supplier Competence (Audit) and Assessment

Suppliers of safety-relevant items and services are subject to initial and recurrent 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 87 supplier audits conducted in 2021, including 41 audits conducted jointly with CEZ Group companies' principal contractors, and 4 cases of special quality audit. As part of a unified supplier assessment system for supplies related to safety-relevant items, 168 companies were assessed.

Corporate Governance Compliance

mini

The Company's corporate governance is based on rules stipulated by applicable law, in particular the Business Corporations Act, Civil Code, Capital Market Business 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., GPW), ČEZ is required to comply with the Code of Corporate Governance published for issuers by the Exchange in the form of the Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2021 (the "GPW Code"). The current text of the GPW Code in Polish and English can be found on the Warsaw Stock Exchange's website at: https://www.gpw.pl/dobre-praktyki2021 and https://www.gpw.pl/best-practice2021.

ČEZ takes into account material rules of the GPW 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 GPW Code in the following cases in 2021 (an explanation or reasoning for each departure or deviation is given):

  • Section 1.4 of the GPW Code requires companies to publish information on their websites regarding their company strategy in order to ensure quality communication with stakeholders, and information on the ESG strategy should include, among other things, a presentation of the equal pay index (comparing women and men) and information on the measures taken to close any pay gaps from the above perspective. The Company has not yet published such specific data, but it will already be included in the 2021 Sustainability Report.
  • Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of the GPW Code require companies to have a diversity policy in place, which is also applicable to the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board, stating, in relation to the gender diversity requirement, that the participation of a gender-underrepresented group in each corporate body should be at least 30%. In May 2021, the Board of Directors approved CEZ Group's accelerated strategy VISION 2030—Clean Energy of Tomorrow. In the area of diversity, the Company has set a long-term goal of achieving a 30% representation of women in management and a 30% representation of women in management in the non-technological segments by 2025. Subsequently, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the Diversity and Inclusion Policy, which is binding for all CEZ Group companies, but its gender diversity targets are not formally declared for the Company's elected bodies. 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 also fully respected in relation to the elections of Supervisory Board members.
  • Section 2.3 of the GPW Code states that at least two members of the Supervisory Board should be independent and have no significant relationships with shareholders holding at least 5% of the total votes. The Company has no means to ensure compliance with the Code requirement as two-thirds of the 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's employees in compliance with applicable law. However, notwithstanding the absence of such instruments on the part of the Company, this requirement of the Code is currently being met.
  • Section 2.7 of the GPW Code requires that participation of the Board of Directors members in the bodies of another company (other than companies that are members of the same group—in our case CEZ Group) is subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board. Neither the bylaws nor the Company's internal regulations provide for such a condition; however, members of the Company's Board of Directors may not, in accordance with the relevant legislation, be members of the statutory body of a company with the same or similar scope of activity (unless it is a company that is a member of CEZ Group or a controlled company); moreover, members of the company's Board of Directors have a reporting obligation to the other Board of Directors members and to the Supervisory Board in the event of a potential conflict of interests with the Company's interests.
  • Section 2.11 of the GPW Code sets out the requirements for the content of the Supervisory Board's report to be submitted to the Company's shareholders' meeting. The Supervisory Board Report meets the content requirements of the GPW Code, with the exception of:
    • Information on the extent of implementation of the diversity policy (for this, see information on compliance with Section 2.1 and 2.2 of the Code)
  • The Supervisory Board Report contains all the information required by law and all the content required by the GPW Code will be included in the Supervisory Board Report 2021.
  • Section 3.8 of the GPW Code states that the person in charge of internal audit at the Company is to report to the Supervisory Board at least once a year on the effectiveness of the internal control system, risk management, and internal audit functions appropriate to the size of the Company; Section 3.9 of the Code includes a requirement that the Supervisory Board assess the effectiveness of these systems and functions at least once a year. ČEZ has the Audit Committee as an independent body of the Company that monitors, inter alia, the effectiveness of internal control, risk management systems, and the effectiveness of internal audit (Section 22.1(b) and (c) of the Company's bylaws). For this reason and in accordance with Czech law, the relevant reports are submitted directly to the Audit Committee, which independently evaluates the effectiveness of these systems and functions.
  • According to Section 3.10 of the GPW Code, the internal audit function is to be assessed at least once every five years by an independent auditor appointed with the participation of the Audit Committee. In the Company, this independent assessment is carried out in accordance with the above requirement of the Code, however, the independent auditor is selected in accordance with the relevant legislation through a selection process in which the Audit Committee does not intervene.
  • Section 4.1 of the GPW Code states that issuers should allow shareholders to participate in shareholders' meetings through the use of electronic means (electronic general meetings) where this is supported by shareholder expectations that have been communicated to the Company and provided that the Company can provide the technical security and infrastructure necessary to hold such meetings securely. The Company continuously evaluates the possibility and appropriateness of holding a shareholders' meeting using electronic means instead of a meeting in person. However, the Company does not currently consider such an option (also taking into account the large number of shareholders of the Company) to be sufficiently safe in view of the need to avoid any technical difficulties that could jeopardize the smooth conduct of the shareholders' meeting. Nor has the Company been presented with a clear and (in terms of the number of shareholders) material demand in this regard by the shareholders. The amendment to the bylaws effective since 2021 has enabled the Company to hold the shareholders' meeting in the form of voting by letter, i.e., by means of decision-making outside the meeting, in which technical means can already play an essential role. The possibility of holding the shareholders' meeting voting by letter is limited to cases where the holding of the shareholders' meeting by attendance is prevented or substantially impeded due to external circumstances. Management continues to see the option of meeting with shareholders by attendance, which facilitates direct interaction between management and shareholders, as beneficial.

Pursuant to Section 4.3 of the GPW Code, issuers are required to ensure that the proceedings of the shareholders' meeting are broadcast to the public. The Company does not provide a public 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. In order to be able to participate in the Company's shareholders' meeting, the ownership of one share of the Company (as of the record date for participation) is sufficient, and the Company does not consider this condition to be restrictive or discriminatory in any way.

mini

  • Section 4.4 of the GPW Code states that media representatives should be allowed to attend the shareholders' meeting. Representatives of the media may attend the shareholders' meeting, but their attendance is conditional on them being shareholders of the Company (see commentary on Section 4.3 of the Code).
  • Section 4.9 of the GPW Code contains a requirement that the candidates for new members of the Supervisory Board to be decided by the shareholders' meeting should be proposed to the shareholders' meeting at least three days before the meeting, including the publication of all related documents (relating to the presentation of the candidates) on the Company's website and, where applicable, should make a statement declaring their material relationship with the shareholder(s) holding at least 5% of the total votes in the Company. The Company's bylaws do not set a deadline for the submission of proposals for the election or removal of members of the Company's bodies elected by the shareholders' meeting (the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee), which means that candidates for the election of members of these bodies may be submitted only at the shareholders' meeting itself. These candidates are then duly presented to the shareholders attending the shareholders' meeting.
  • Sections 5.5 to 5.7 of the GPW Code contain certain requirements relating to potential related party transactions. The requirement that the Supervisory Board grant its approval to making a 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 regulated by the bylaws, but 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 (Section 121s et seq. of the CMUA) requires that a company may enter into any significant transaction with a so-called related party only with the

approval of the shareholders' meeting. The Company's bylaws then imply the principle that the Board of Directors is obliged to submit for discussion and request the previous opinion of the Supervisory Board, inter alia, for all proposals submitted by the Board of Directors to the shareholders' meeting for decision or information. In this way, both the approval of significant transactions with related parties by the Company's shareholders' meeting and their discussion by the Supervisory Board are ensured. The definition of a related party is regulated by the provision of Section 2(2) (d) of CMUA, which refers to Section 9 of International Accounting Standard IAS 24—Related Party Disclosures, annexed to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1126/2008 of November 3, 2008. A significant transaction is a contract or agreement under which (a) the assets or acquisitions of the Company are disposed of, or (b) to increase the Company's debts, both in excess of 10% of the assets arising from the financial statements for the accounting period immediately preceding the accounting period in which the transaction is concluded. Transactions with the same related party concluded in the same accounting period are added together for these purposes.

Description of the Diversity Policy Applied to Company Governance Bodies [Article 118(4)(l) of the Capital Market Business Act]

In May 2021, the Board of Directors of ČEZ approved CEZ Group's accelerated strategy VISION 2030—Clean Energy of Tomorrow. In the area of diversity, the Company has set a long-term goal to achieve a 30% representation of women in management and a 30% representation of women in management in the non-technological segments by 2025. The Board of Directors adopted a Diversity and Inclusion Policy ("Diversity Policy") in December 2021, which is binding for all CEZ Group companies, but its gender diversity goals are not formally declared for the Company's elected bodies. 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 twothirds 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.

  • g) Information on Special Rules Specifying the Election and Removal of Members of the Statutory Governing Body and Amendment to the Company's Bylaws

Pursuant to the Company's bylaws, members of the Board of Directors are elected and removed by the Supervisory Board by a majority of the votes of all its members. Bylaws may be amended by a shareholders' meeting by a qualified, two-thirds majority of the votes of the shareholders present at the shareholders' meeting. 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 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, 19th, 21st, 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 2011, EUR 100 million made in 2012, EUR 200 million made in 2014, EUR 330 million made in 2019, and EUR 300 million and EUR 100 million made in 2021. 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's credit ratings, which in 2021 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 1,130 million in total, under which the counterparty's right becomes effective as soon as control over ČEZ 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 the stock option (in relation to allocating stock options to which the right arose until the termination of the stock option plan) is limited so that the appreciation of the Company's shares may not exceed 100% of the purchase price. In 2021, there were 18 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. Dividend rights were exercised by 16 people. None of the above-mentioned 18 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 exercise the call for options granted until the end of 2019 has been maintained, 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 system of long-term performance-based bonus is not linked to the right to acquire shares.

We act so that one day we will not be afraid to look back on what we have done

CEZ Group's Financial Results

Changes in Revenues, Expenses, and Income

CEZ Group Net Income Breakdown (CZK Billions)

Net income Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading

Sales of electricity, heat, gas, and coal

Sales of services and other revenues

Other operating income

Net income (after-tax income) in 2021 amounted to CZK 9.9 billion, which is a year-on-year increase of CZK 4.4 billion. Income increased mainly due to lower provisioning of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.

Operating revenues increased year-on-year by CZK 14.1 billion to CZK 227.8 billion, due to higher revenues from the sale of electricity, heat, gas, and coal (CZK +19.5 billion), especially revenues from the sale of electricity. Conversely, sales of services and other revenues decreased by CZK 4.2 billion. Other operating income decreased by CZK 1.2 billion.

The result from commodity derivative trading decreased by CZK 10.6 billion.

Operating expenses amounted to CZK 207.2 billion in 2021, almost unchanged year-on-year. The cost of energy, fuel, and emission allowances increased by CZK 7.6 billion year-on-year. Impairments for fixed assets, including impairment of goodwill, and impairments for receivables were CZK 9.4 billion lower year-on-year. Operating expenses increased by CZK 3.3 billion year-on-year for depreciation and amortization, mainly due to the deterioration of market and regulatory conditions for the long-term operation of coal-fired power plants in Czechia and a reduction in the expected lifetime. The cost of services decreased by CZK 1.1 billion and personnel costs decreased by CZK 0.3 billion.

Other income and expenses increased the net income by CZK 2.0 billion year-on-year. Due to the decrease in the total amount of debt, interest expense decreased (CZK +1.1 billion), while foreign exchange effects and the revaluation of financial derivatives (CZK +0.5 billion) and the revaluation of Inven Capital's assets (CZK +0.5 billion) also had a positive effect. Income taxes increased by CZK 1.1 billion due to higher earnings before tax.

Cash Flows

Investing activities

Net effect of currency translation and allowances in cash

Operating activities

Net cash flow from operating activities decreased year-on-year by CZK 13.0 billion to CZK 59.2 billion. Income before tax adjusted for non-cash operations decreased (CZK -25.6 billion), of which profit before tax increased (CZK +5.5 billion) and adjustments for non-cash operations had a negative effect (CZK -31.1 billion), mainly due to the increase in the price of emission allowances and their revaluation to fair value. The change in working capital had an overall positive effect (CZK +11.1 billion). Interest paid decreased (CZK +1.2 billion) due to a reduction in bonds issued and bank loans. Income tax paid decreased slightly year-on-year (CZK +0.2 billion).

Changes in working capital were significantly influenced by the change in the stock of emission allowances (CZK +62.7 billion) and the change in trade receivables and payables (CZK -66.3 billion), mainly due to higher margin deposits on the energy exchange and with traders following the significant increase in commodity prices, especially electricity, in 2021 and the usual way of hedging the related credit risks. The change in receivables and payables from derivatives (CZK +9.7 billion) and the change in term deposits and debt securities contributed positively (CZK +4.6 billion), while the change in inventories of materials and fossil fuels had a negative impact (CZK -1.4 billion). Other items had a positive impact on working capital (CZK +1.8 billion).

Net cash flow from investing activities decreased by CZK 26.6 billion year-on-year to CZK -7.1 billion. The decrease was mainly due to the proceeds from the sale of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures (CZK +28.7 billion), mainly in connection with the sale of Romanian and Bulgarian assets. Loans granted decreased year-on-year (CZK +0.9 billion) and repayments of loans increased (CZK +0.1 billion). More cash funds were issued for the acquisition of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures in 2021 (CZK -1.7 billion). The change in restricted cash funds had negative effect (CZK -0.7 billion) and the acquisition of fixed assets including capitalized interest increased slightly (CZK -0.7 billion) mainly due to higher investment in tangible and intangible fixed assets. Net cash flow from financing activities decreased by CZK 5.7 billion year-on-year and amounted to CZK -34.8 billion. The change in the balance of loans and borrowings (CZK +13.0 billion) and the balance of purchases and sales of non-controlling interests (CZK +1.8 billion) contributed to the decrease, as the sale of ESCO Slovakia's non-controlling interest was made in 2021, while funds were spent on the purchase of non-controlling interests in 2020. Sales of treasury shares were higher in 2021 (CZK +0.6 billion). Dividends paid to the Company's shareholders increased (CZK -9.7 billion).

The net effect of currency translation and allowances in cash had a negative impact (CZK -1.1 billion).

Structure of Assets, Equity, and Liabilities

mini

The value of CEZ Group's consolidated assets, equity, and liabilities increased by CZK 480.4 billion to CZK 1,182.9 billion in 2021.

Structure of CEZ Group Assets as at December 31 (CZK Billions)

Net plant in service Nuclear fuel, at amo ized cost Construction work in progress, net Other non-current assets Current assets

Non-current assets increased by CZK 2.1 billion to CZK 474.0 billion.

The value of net plant in service decreased (CZK -7.6 billion), while depreciation and amortization increased by CZK 36.2 billion and plant in service increased by CZK 28.5 billion. Construction work in progress, net, increased year-on-year (CZK +1.0 billion). Value of nuclear fuel decreased (CZK -0.6 billion).

The increase in other non-current assets (CZK +9.3 billion) was due to an increase in deferred tax assets (CZK +9.9 billion). Long-term receivables from derivative transactions (CZK +0.5 billion) and long-term receivables including receivables from the sale of non-current assets (CZK +0.4 billion) increased. In contrast, restricted financial assets decreased (CZK -0.6 billion) and intangible assets, net, decreased (CZK -0.6 billion). Investments in associates and joint ventures decreased (CZK -0.2 billion).

The value of current assets increased by CZK 478.4 billion to CZK 708.9 billion. The reason for the increase was a significant rise in the prices of electricity, gas, and emission allowances, which had a significant impact on the increase of short-term receivables from derivative transactions, including options (CZK +440.0 billion) and the increase of net trade receivables (CZK +73.8 billion), where receivables from margin deposits on the energy exchange and from commodity traders increased significantly. Cash and cash equivalents increased (CZK +20.6 billion). Inventories of materials increased (CZK +3.5 billion). Other current assets increased (CZK +4.8 billion), mainly contractual assets, and short-term debt and equity securities increased (CZK +0.8 billion). The sale of Romanian and Bulgarian assets was completed in 2021, which reduced assets classified as held for sale (CZK -40.4 billion). Short-term emission allowances (CZK -18.3 billion), short-term financial deposits (CZK -2.8 billion), and short-term receivables from the sale of subsidiaries decreased (CZK -2.0 billion), fossil fuel inventories (CZK -0.6 billion) and short-term loans were also lower (CZK -0.7 billion). Income tax receivable decreased (CZK -0.3 billion).

Equity

Noncurrent liabilities

Current liabilities

Equity decreased by CZK 75.7 billion to CZK 162.8 billion. Its decrease was mainly due to other comprehensive income in 2021 (CZK -55.2 billion) and dividends awarded to shareholders (CZK -27.9 billion). The sale of subsidiaries and non-controlling interests, including the option, also reduced equity (CZK -3.0 billion). As did dividends granted by subsidiaries to non-controlling interests (CZK -0.2 billion). By contrast, the net income generated in 2021 increased equity (CZK +9.9 billion), as did the sale of treasury shares (CZK +0.7 billion).

Long-term liabilities increased by CZK 4.8 billion to CZK 261.1 billion. The increase was mainly due to long-term liabilities from derivative transactions (CZK +25.2 billion) in connection with the significant increase in commodity prices. In 2021, a provision for demolition and dismantling of coal-fired power plants after decommissioning, while nuclear and other long-term provisions also increased (CZK +11.7 billion). By contrast, the volume of bonds issued (CZK -23.2 billion) and bank loans (CZK -2.6 billion) decreased. Deferred tax liabilities decreased year-on-year (CZK -6.5 billion), but other items of long-term liabilities increased (CZK +0.2 billion). Current liabilities increased by CZK 551.3 billion year-on-year to CZK 759.0 billion. As a result of the significant increase in electricity, gas, and allowance prices, short-term liabilities from derivative transactions including options (CZK +528.6 billion) and trade liabilities (CZK +12.7 billion) increased. There was a year-on-year increase in short-term bank loans (CZK +24.3 billion) and short-term provisions (CZK +4.6 billion). Other current liabilities increased (CZK +2.8 billion), especially contractual liabilities, and the income tax liability also increased (CZK +1.7 billion). Liabilities from the acquisition of subsidiaries and associates slightly increased (CZK +0.2 billion). By contrast, the short-term portion of long-term debt decreased (CZK -12.1 billion) and liabilities related to assets held for sale decreased (CZK -11.6 billion) due to the sale of Romanian and Bulgarian assets.

Comprehensive Income

Total comprehensive income, net of tax, decreased by CZK 47.0 billion to CZK -45.3 billion. Net income increased by CZK 4.4 billion year-on-year, while other comprehensive income decreased by CZK 51.4 billion.

Decrease in other comprehensive income was affected primarily by change in the fair value of cash flow hedging financial instruments (CZK -77.5 billion), which resulted from reduction in the fair value of sales contracts for electricity supplies in 2022–2026 in relation to increased market prices of electricity in 2021. The negative effect was due to differences from foreign exchange translation of subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures, and other companies (CZK -2.4 billion), and revaluation of debt and equity instruments (CZK -1.9 billion). Deferred tax charged to equity increased the comprehensive income (CZK +13.5 billion), as did the derecognition of cash flow hedges to financial results (CZK +8.6 billion) and the derecognition of foreign exchange translation differences related to assets sold in 2021 (CZK +8.2 billion).

3) As of January 1, 2021, there was a change in the structure of segments, and thus changes in the classification of some companies of the consolidation group into individual segments. The main reason for the merger of the two original generation segments was the fact that the development of renewables in CEZ Group will take place primarily within the existing companies operating mainly traditional power generation.

Note: The year-on-year comparison is affected by the sale of Romanian assets as of March 31, 2021, and Bulgarian assets as of July 27, 2021.

The GENERATION segment's net income increased by CZK 4.7 billion year-on-year. In Czechia, the segment's net income decreased by CZK 4.0 billion year-on-year, which was mainly due to an increase in total depreciation and amortization by CZK 5.7 billion, including the impact of accelerated depreciation of coal-fired power plants reflecting the deterioration of market and regulatory conditions for their long-term operation (CZK -3.8 billion) and the impact of provisioning for demolition and dismantling of coal-fired power plants in Czechia after their decommissioning (CZK -1.9 billion). By contrast, lower interest expenses (CZK +1.0 billion) due to a decrease in the total amount of debt and lower income tax (CZK +0.7 billion) had a positive effect. In Poland, the segment's net income increased by CZK 3.9 billion, mainly due to lower impairments for fixed assets (CZK +4.5 billion), adjusted by an increase in income tax (CZK -0.6 billion). In Romania, segment's net income increased by CZK 3.9 billion due to lower provisions for fixed assets (CZK +5.8 billion), while EBITDA decreased (CZK -1.7 billion) due to the sale of assets as of March 31, 2021.

The MINING segment's net income decreased by CZK 6.1 billion mainly due to higher impairment of fixed assets (CZK -8.4 billion) as a result of the probable early termination of coal mining and combustion in Czechia. Conversely, EBITDA increased (CZK +1.1 billion) due to higher coal sales; depreciation and amortization (CZK +0.7 billion) and income taxes (CZK +0.7 billion) decreased. The net income of the DISTRIBUTION segment increased by CZK 3.7 billion, including CZK 4.4 billion in Romania due to lower fixed asset provisions (CZK +5.2 billion) and higher income taxes (CZK -0.7 billion). The net income of the Bulgarian distribution increased by CZK 0.1 billion due to lower provisions for fixed assets (CZK +1.0 billion) and a decrease in EBITDA (CZK -0.8 billion) due to the sale on July 27, 2021. Net income in Turkey decreased by CZK 0.8 billion mainly due to an increase in the provision for the Akcez loan guarantee mainly as a result of the depreciation of the Turkish currency. Net income in Czechia was unchanged year-on-year. Net income of the SALES segment increased by CZK 2.0 billion, of which by CZK 1.0 billion in Czechia due to an increase in EBITDA (CZK +0.4 billion) and the appreciation of Inven Capital's assets (CZK +0.5 billion). In Romania, net income increased by CZK 0.4 billion due to lower provisions for fixed assets (CZK +0.5 billion). In Germany, segment's net income increased by CZK 0.3 billion due to higher EBITDA (CZK +0.4 billion). In the other countries of the segment, net income increased by CZK 0.2 billion due to higher EBITDA.

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.

In the largest segment, GENERATION, the indicator decreased by CZK 1.5 billion to CZK 33.5 billion. In Czechia, the indicator increased by CZK 0.6 billion. The current effects related to the 2021 and 2020 supplies led to an increase of CZK 4.4 billion, mainly due to the impact of market prices of electricity and emission allowances on generation, including the impact of hedging transactions and the effect of the exchange rate (CZK +3.9 billion), higher operational availability of nuclear facilities (CZK +0.8 billion), higher operational availability of existing emission sources (CZK +0.6 billion), and higher income from commodity trading (CZK +0.8 billion). Against these, the main factors were higher fixed operating expenses (CZK -1.0 billion) and higher nuclear provisioning due to growing inflation (CZK -0.5 billion). In Czechia, the indicator was negatively affected by two specific temporary effects (CZK -3.8 billion): on the one hand, the revaluation of emission allowance trades in connection with the hedging of 2022+ generation positions and time arbitrage (CZK -2.1 billion) and, on the other hand, the revaluation of hedging sales of electricity part of emission generation for 2022 (CZK -1.6 billion). In Poland, the indicator decreased by CZK 0.3 billion, mainly due to higher expenses for emission allowances. In Germany, the indicator decreased by CZK 0.1 billion due to lower wind power generation. In Romania, the indicator decreased by CZK 1.7 billion mainly due to the sale of assets on March 31, 2021.

In the MINING segment, the indicator amounted to CZK 4.5 billion, i.e., increased by CZK 1.1 billion year-on-year, most of which was attributable to higher sales related to higher coal supplies to CEZ Group (CZK +1.0 billion).

In the DISTRIBUTION segment, the indicator decreased by CZK 1.6 billion to CZK 19.9 billion, of which CZK 1.4 billion in Romania mainly due to the sale of assets as of March 31, 2021, and CZK 0.8 billion in Bulgaria due to the sale of assets as of July 27, 2021. By contrast, in Czechia, the indicator increased by CZK 0.5 billion, mainly due to higher gross margin from electricity distribution (CZK +0.5 billion) due to higher volumes of distributed electricity, lower losses, and lower expenses for the use of ČEPS networks due to higher decentralized generation; revenues from power supply and connection were also higher year-on-year (CZK +0.5 billion). Conversely, higher fixed operating costs had a negative impact (CZK -0.5 billion).

The SALES segment showed EBITDA of CZK 5.4 billion, i.e., CZK 0.6 billion more year-on-year. In Czechia, the indicator increased by CZK 0.4 billion as a result of higher electricity supply to residential customers (CZK +0.6 billion), but the margin on natural gas sales to residential customers was lower due to higher expense prices (CZK -0.4 billion). The increase in fixed operating expenses was related to servicing an increased number of customers due to turbulent commodity price developments and servicing new customers in the Supplier of Last Resort regime (CZK -0.3 billion). The increase in the indicator influenced by the margin on sales of commodities to corporate customers (CZK +0.3 billion) was due to the negative impact of COVID-19 in 2020. EBITDA was also slightly increased by higher sales of telecommunication companies and new acquisitions (CZK +0.1 billion). In Germany, the indicator increased by CZK 0.4 billion due to a recovery in growth after the negative impact of COVID-19 on the ESCO area in 2020. In Romania, the indicator decreased by CZK 0.2 billion due to the sale of assets as of March 31, 2021. In Bulgaria, the indicator decreased by CZK 0.1 billion due to the sale of assets on July 27, 2021. In other countries, the indicator increased by CZK 0.2 billion, mainly due to the contribution of the sale of the portfolio of customers consuming commodities in Slovakia as of April 1, 2021.

Solvency in 2021

Solvency of CEZ Group was good in 2021 and CEZ Group companies did not report any problems in paying their liabilities. CEZ Group took advantage of the favorable liquidity development after the sale of the Romanian companies and in April and May, it repurchased and subsequently canceled bonds maturing in 2021 and 2022 in the total amount of approximately EUR 480 million. In November and December, CEZ Group signed loan agreements with the EIB for a total amount of EUR 400 million, which are expected to be drawn down during 2022.

As a result of extreme volatility on the commodity markets at the end of the year, CEZ Group's liquidity requirements increased significantly. CEZ Group continued to duly meet all its obligations in this period. To ensure access to cash, a substantial portion of the available committed credit facilities were drawn down before year-end, a significant portion of which was deposited in short-term bank deposits as of December 31, 2021.

During 2021, CZK 27.6 billion was paid in dividends for 2020 and another 0.1 billion was paid in dividends for previous years. The average maturity of CEZ Group's financial debt was more than 5.3 years at the end of 2021.

Economic and Financial Outlook for 2022

mini

As of March 14, 2022, CEZ Group anticipated consolidated net profit adjusted for extraordinary effects for the full year 2022 in the amount of CZK 38 to 42 billion and consolidated EBITDA in the amount of CZK 85 to 89 billion.

The main positive year-on-year influences include higher realized electricity prices and increase ambitions in ESCO services. Conversely, the main negative factors were the sale of Romanian and Bulgarian assets and higher costs of emission allowances for generation.

The major causes of the year-on-year change in operating financial performance are listed below to indicate CEZ Group's expected financial position in 2022.

The GENERATION segment is expected to increase by CZK 22 to 35 billion year-on-year. Nuclear generation is expected to increase by CZK 15 to 20 billion year-on-year due to higher realized electricity prices. In the area of generation from renewables, an annual increase in the range of CZK +1.5 billion to CZK +2.5 billion is expected due to higher realized electricity prices. In the area of generation from emission sources, a year-on-year increase of CZK 5 to 10 billion is expected, with a positive effect mainly due to the effect of realized prices of electricity, emission allowances, and natural gas on gross margin, and a negative effect due to higher costs of maintenance of equipment. Trading is expected to decrease by CZK 1–3 billion year-on-year due to record profits from commodities trading in 2021. In 2021, the indicator was negatively impacted by two specific effects totaling CZK 3.8 billion. These were the revaluation of emission allowance trades related to hedging 2022+ generation positions and timing arbitrages, and the revaluation of hedging sales of electricity of the portion of 2022 emission generation that did not meet the own-use conditions due to supply uncertainty.

The MINING segment is estimated to decrease by CZK 1–2 billion year-on-year. The main reason for the expected decrease is lower coal sales outside the CEZ Group and higher fixed operating expenses, especially energy costs.

In the DISTRIBUTION segment, the year-on-year change is expected to be in the range of CZK -1.0 billion to CZK +0.5 billion, with the negative impact of adjustment factors and the positive impact of higher regulatory asset base (RAB) and depreciation and amortization.

In the SALES segment, a year-on-year increase of CZK 0.5 to 1.5 billion is expected in view of the growth ambitions in ESCO. The reason for using the EBITDA and net income forecast interval for 2022 is mainly based on the following risks and opportunities: realized prices of generated electricity, availability of generating facilities, the cost of acquiring emission allowances and natural gas for generation, gains from commodity trading, and Russia's military attack on Ukraine and the impact of the ensuing sanctions. Investments in the fixed assets of CEZ Group in 2022 are expected to amount to CZK 40 billion, mostly planned to be invested in generation and distribution assets in Czechia.

The net income of the parent company ČEZ, a. s., is estimated to be CZK 34 to 38 billion in 2022, with the year-on-year increase mainly due to significantly higher electricity realization prices.

Business Environment

Czechia

In 2021, Czechia's gross domestic product increased due to an increase in domestic demand. GDP increase was driven entirely by domestic demand, mainly by final consumption expenditure by households and government, as well as by an increase in inventories. The continued strong increase in households consumption was supported by the almost unrestricted functioning of services and stores during the summer, as well as the improving labor market situation and the likely gradual dissipation of forced savings built up during previous economic shutdowns. The increase in government expenditure mainly reflected continued extraordinary spending in the health sector. Inventory levels increased, driven by forced stockpiling of work-in-progress due to disruptions in international production chains and related logistics. Gross fixed capital formation also increased. Inflation increased sharply, and consumer demand increased following the lifting of anti-epidemic measures, both in the goods and services sectors. By increasing prices, companies compensate for the drop in sales during the closures, as well as the increase in costs. Information on the regulatory framework in Czechia is

provided in the Developments in Sectoral Regulation and Legislation chapter.

Slovakia

H2 2021 was significantly affected by high commodity price increases, which were reflected in the electricity and gas supply markets. The price increases mostly affected companies that did not have contracted supplies. In terms of energy services, 2021 was affected by significant fluctuations in the prices of input materials, such as galvanized sheet or cables, which account for a significant part of companies' expenses. On the other hand, this trend led to an increase in demand for energy saving solutions or renewables.

Germany

granted was 5 ct/kWh.

Renewables, in particular the construction of solar and wind sources, are the most important pillar of a sustainable energy policy and play a key role in the "Energiewende", the transformation of the German energy sector to ensure an environmentally friendly and secure energy supply. RESs accounted for 45.8% of Germany's net electricity generation in 2021, a decrease of 4.2% compared to 2020, mainly due to poor wind conditions, especially in H1 2021. Despite this, wind power remains the most important green energy source with a generated volume of 113.5 TWh, accounting for 23.1% of net electricity generation. In 2021, 484 new wind power plants with an installed capacity of 1.9 GW were connected to the grid. In total, 28,230 onshore wind power plants were in operation at the end of the year, with a total installed capacity of 56.1 GW. In 2021, 3 auctions were held to determine support for electricity generation from onshore wind power plants. The Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur – BNetzA) offered a total of 4,235 MW of capacity for auctions. Support was granted to 382 projects with a total capacity of 3,296 MW. The average value of the support granted was 5.9 ct/kWh. In 2021, 3 auctions were held for the construction of solar power plants. BNetzA offered a total of 1,637 MW of capacity for auctions. Support was granted to 331 projects with a total capacity of 1,645 MW. The average value of the support

The Polish energy market is almost fully liberalized. Wholesale market pricing is based on market factors. Electricity prices for residential customers and distribution charges are regulated. Prices in the heat market are based on a system of rates and require annual approval by the Energy Regulatory Office. CEZ Skawina and CEZ Chorzów underwent mandatory certification for joining the capacity market system in early 2020. At the moment, CEZ Skawina has supply contracts for 2021–2026 and CEZ Chorzów has a one-year contract for 2024. Relevant agreements have been signed in connection with the planned participation in the secondary market. Only three of the five renewables auctions held in December 2021 were concluded. In the second round, just over 18.5 TWh of renewable electricity was allocated for sale. As a result of their settlement, a total of almost 14 TWh (75%) of electricity was contracted.

France

France's energy policy is defined by the energy concept in the form of the first and second Multiyear Energy Programs, which set short- and medium-term energy and climate targets until 2028, and the National Low-Carbon Strategy with the overarching goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The Multiyear Energy Program, covering the five-year periods of 2019−2023 and 2024−2028, emphasizes the diversification of the energy mix through the promotion of RES with the aim of doubling their installed capacity by 2028 compared to 2017, while achieving a 36% share of RES in electricity generation. With a view to targets set for RES, the installed capacity of photovoltaic power plants should increase to 35.1–44.0 GW by the end of 2028 and the capacity of onshore wind farms should increase to 33.2–34.7 GW. Offshore wind farms had the targets for 2023 slightly decreased (2.4 GW), while achieving capacities to 5.2–6.2 GW is expected in 2028. Climate policy and climate protection are at the heart of the public interest. After months of public consultation, the Climate Change Act was adopted in August 2021, covering a wide range of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the construction of RES, increased energy efficiency, and emission reductions in energy, transport, housing, and agriculture.

A key pillar for a successful energy transformation is the construction of wind power plants, the acceleration of which has been supported by the ministry of environmental transformation through the announcement of 10 measures to support the increase of onshore wind energy. In particular, the measures are aimed at increasing the activity of individual regions to assess sites suitable for the construction of wind power plants in accordance with local environmental needs and to define their own RES development targets in line with regional specificities. The measures are also intended to eliminate the impact on the local population, particularly with regard to the obligation to recycle resources at the end of the projects' life. Three auctions for wind power plants were held in 2021, with support for 41 projects with a total capacity of 924 MW. The average price was 6 ct/kWh. An annual auction capacity of

1,850 MW is planned for the following years until 2026.

Turkey

The Turkish economy and domestic politics were under the influence of the ongoing epidemic of COVID-19 in 2021. The impact of disruptions in supply-consumer relations, price increases in a number of service sectors, and increasing food prices were reflected in high inflation (Consumer Price Index in December 2021: 36%). Continued tensions in foreign relations (mainly with the US and EU) contributed to local currency volatility and a negative view of the environment among foreign investors. The dismissal of the central bank governor in March and two board members in October, followed by repeated cuts in interbank interest rates, also contributed to economic instability. This has led to concerns about the central bank's ability to effectively combat ongoing double-digit inflation. This led to a further depreciation of the Turkish lira against the dollar. The Turkish lira depreciated by 83% over 2021, and as of December 31, 2021, the exchange rate stood at TRY 13.459/USD, with the lira depreciating the most towards the end of the year in the context of monetary easing. The depreciating lira negatively affected the results of Turkish companies that are funded with loans denominated in US dollars.

Credit rating agencies unanimously give Turkey speculative-grade ratings (Moody's: B2 with a negative outlook /2021/, Standard & Poor's: B+ with a negative outlook).

GENERATION Segment

The segment's existing companies operate primarily in Czechia. They also operate mainly in Poland, Germany, Slovakia, France, and Turkey. In 2021, the segment included divested generation companies in Romania (sold as of March 31, 2021) and generation companies in Bulgaria (sold as of July 27, 2021).

The most significant company in the segment is the parent company ČEZ, a. s., which is primarily engaged in the generation of electricity and heat, trading and sale of electricity, natural gas, and commodity trading. The Company's and the segment's value is driven by generation from emission-free nuclear facilities and renewables. The segment also includes mainly Czech generation companies such as Energotrans and ČEZ Teplárenská, as well as service and support companies. Abroad, these are Polish generation companies engaged in the generation and sale of heat and electricity. And also German and French companies operating or developing renewable, mainly wind, power plants.

The segment's operating revenues for 2021 reached CZK 138.4 billion and segment EBITDA reached CZK 33.5 billion. Within the segment, four significant subareas are monitored separately: Nuclear Facilities, Renewables, Emission Facilities, and Trading. The share of emission-free activities (i.e., generation from nuclear and emission-free renewables and trading) in the segment's EBITDA was over 85% for existing assets in 2021.

1. Nuclear Facilities

Czechia

Existing Nuclear Plants

Electricity Generation

Nuclear power plants generated 30,730 GWh of electricity in 2021, or by 688 GWh more year-on-year. Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant generated 14,868 GWh of this, i.e., 571 GWh more than in 2020 (due to extended outages in 2020). Temelín Nuclear Power Plant generated 15,862 GWh, i.e., 117 GWh more year-on-year (due to an increase in available capacity).

Capital Construction

At the Dukovany and Temelín nuclear power plants, work continued on projects started in previous years, focusing on the enhancement of nuclear safety and necessary plant renovation. At the same time, investment preparatory works were initiated and implementation and completion works related to modernization, stabilization, safety, and efficiency of generation, and also to meet the legislative requirements of the Atomic Act were carried out.

Significant investment projects continuing from previous years included the replacement of the steam separator—heater at Temelín with an impact on optimizing the operation of the secondary part of the unit. At the Dukovany site, the implementation of technical measures continued at the so-called vital areas. A financially and technically significant project was initiated for the generation renewal of control systems at Temelín and hundreds of major and minor projects of an investment nature were carried out for the long-term and safe operation of both nuclear power plants.

Installed Capacity

The installed capacity of nuclear power plants of 4,290 MW remained unchanged year-on-year.

Nuclear Fuel

mini

Fuel for the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant is sourced under a long-term contract 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. In 2020, this fuel was supplied for the first time with a higher enrichment (4.76%), which is gradually loaded from 2021. The above 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, 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 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 fourth loading of an advanced type of fuel with increased uranium content and enhanced structural rigidity (TVSA-T.mod.2) was loaded into Unit 2 in 2021, allowing further increase in the efficiency of fuel utilization. A selection procedure is being carried out to secure fuel for the period after the end of supply under the existing contract with TVEL, which will be evaluated in 2022.

In order to create conditions for the diversification of nuclear fuel deliveries for the Temelín power plant and ensure a competitive environment, 6 fuel assemblies made by an alternative contractor, Westinghouse Electric Sweden, were delivered and introduced to Unit 1 in 2019, following the completion of development and licensing. In 2021, after the second year of its operation, this fuel was inspected and subsequently introduced into its third cycle. 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 a result of DIAMO terminating commercial uranium mining in Czechia, domestic uranium is no longer purchased, however, the covering of part of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant's uranium needs continued in 2021 thanks to holding part of the fuel reserves with processed Czech uranium. 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. Overall uranium, conversion and enrichment needs for nuclear power plants operated by ČEZ have been contractually covered until 2023; some contractual obligations extend 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.

Outlook for 2022

We estimate nuclear generation at 30.6 TWh in 2022. The availability of nuclear power plants is affected by the timing of scheduled outages related not only to refueling and the performance of scheduled maintenance, inspections, and revisions of key equipment, but also activities aimed at continual upgrades and enhancement of the operational efficiency of the two plants.

Upcoming Nuclear Plants

Dukovany New Nuclear Power Plant (NNPP)

On the basis of a resolution of the Czech government, the investor of the Dukovany NNPP project is Elektrárna Dukovany II. In 2021, project preparation continued in accordance with the Company's business plan and the first implementation agreement between Elektrárna Dukovany II, ČEZ, and the state on cooperation in the construction of a new nuclear power plant at the Dukovany site in Czechia.

On March 8, the State Office for Nuclear Safety issued a permit for the location of the nuclear facility and on April 27, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic granted a state authorization for the construction of the electricity generation facility. On June 1, Elektrárna Dukovany II submitted the documentation for the construction procedure together with the application for a construction permit to the Třebíč Municipal Authority, which issued a notice of commencement on July 29.

The Czech government, in Resolution No. 339 of March 29, 2021, approved the phase of security assessment of the bidders for the construction of the new nuclear unit at Dukovany before the actual start of the tender procedure. Following the development of the security situation, Resolution No. 394 of April 19 decided not to invite Rosatom to the security assessment.

The purpose of the security assessment is to evaluate all potential contractors and obtain the information needed to ensure the state's security interests. This includes, above all, clarification of the supply chain's ownership structure, the links of entities concerned with the state, problems with project implementation, allegations, and other problems in nuclear projects, transfer of technology and know-how.

In order to answer the questions in the security assessment, potential bidders received complete preliminary documentation, which will potentially help to speed up the subsequent processing of final bids.

The data collection for the security assessment started on June 21 and involved the French company Électricité de France, the US-Canadian company Westinghouse, and the South Korean company KHNP. All approached bidders agreed to participate in the security assessment and submitted all relevant information on security issues by the end of November 2021.

Temelín New Nuclear Power Plant (NNPP)

The investor of the Temelín NNPP project is the company Elektrárna Temelín II, a. s. Based on a resolution of the Czech government, it was determined that activities at the Temelín site must be managed in such a way as to maintain the value of the project, including ensuring the validity of existing permits and maintaining the possibility of its rapid activation if necessary. During 2021, the necessary preparatory activities for the Temelín NNPP project continued, consisting of fulfilling the conditions of the issued opinions and decisions, proper care of the Company's assets and, last but not least, the analysis of the issue of small modular reactors (SMRs) as one of the alternatives to be considered in the longer term.

Slovakia

Upcoming Nuclear Plants

The Upcoming New Nuclear Power Plant Jaslovské Bohunice and the Expansion of the Scope of Business

ČEZ Bohunice owns a 49% stake in Jadrová energetická spoločnosť Slovenska (JESS), a company established for the purpose of constructing a new nuclear power plant (NNPP) in Bohunice. The year 2021 was marked by legislative changes, mainly the approval of the amendment to the Slovak Atomic Act on October 12. The priority activity for 2021 was, and remains for 2022, the activity related to the preparation of documentation for locating a new nuclear power plant by the envelope approach (i.e., without selecting a specific technology) according to the Atomic Act. Work on the necessary project plan documentation was initiated and the necessary project activities were also underway to maintain the value of the project, to maintain the valid EIA Final Opinion, and the activities required to renew certification by the ministry of economy. Negotiations with affected municipalities are held on an ongoing basis concerning the inclusion of the new nuclear power plant in land use planning documentation.

JESS is interested in expanding its energy portfolio to include electricity generation from renewables (photovoltaic or wind) and to participate in the call of the Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency to support important projects of common European interest with a focus on hydrogen—to address the possibility of green hydrogen generation. On September 2, the Slovak government approved a proposal to expand the scope of business to include activities in the field of electricity generation from renewables and hydrogen generation. A pilot photovoltaic power plant project is being prepared on JESS brownfield land.

2. Renewables

Renewable generation includes electricity generation from water, wind, solar, biomass, and biogas.

Czechia

Electricity Generation

Generation by ČEZ's hydroelectric power plants was 2,256 GWh, that is, 104 GWh more year-on-year due to better weather conditions in 2021 and an increase in the installed capacity of the Lipno 1 power plant.

Electricity generation from small hydroelectric power plants and photovoltaic, wind, and biogas sources of ČEZ OZ uzavřený investiční fond in Czechia amounted to 363 GWh, i.e., 6 GWh less than in the same period of 2020. Due to weather conditions, there was a year-on-year increase in hydroelectric power plants by 3 GWh while other sources recorded a slight decrease.

Capital Construction

In 2021, projects to prepare and implement upgrades to selected hydroelectric power plants continued in various stages. Increasing the efficiency of individual units and reducing the environmental burden on sites by, among other things, reducing the amount of oil fillings are the main objectives of the modernization projects. Following the successful modernization of the TG1 unit, the TG2 unit and the control system of the Slapy power plant are now being modernized. At the Orlík power plant, the preparatory work for a comprehensive modernization project continued, consisting of the conversion of a run-of-river plant into a pumped-storage power plant. Mapping of the sites with regard to their untapped energy potential for RES and energy storage technologies is under way.

In 2021, the preparation of projects for the construction of renewables (mainly photovoltaics) with investment support from the Modernization Fund was underway. For the first RES+ Call No. 2/2021, intended for photovoltaic power plants above 1 MWp, for which the deadline for submitting applications was October 29, 2021, ČEZ finally submitted applications for support for 22 projects with a total installed capacity over 211 MWp. We expect the first projects to start at the end of 2022. As part of the pilot project, the installation of the first floating solar power plant in Czechia with an output of 22 kWp has been completed (first stage), located on the upper reservoir of the Štěchovice pumped-storage power plant. If the pilot project proves to be successful and the floating solar power plants are included in the next call of the Modernization Fund, CEZ Group wants to be ready for more significant development of these photovoltaics.

Installed Capacity

mini

The installed capacity in renewables was increased by 19 MW, reaching 2,114 MW. The main reason for this was the 19 MW increase in the Lipno 1 hydroelectric power plant.

Outlook for 2022

Hydroelectric Power Plants

In 2022, 2.3 TWh of hydroelectric generation is expected in CEZ Group's facilities. The actual generation level will depend mainly on the hydrological situation in Czechia, especially on the level of use of the Vltava Cascade and on the actual deployment of pumped storage hydroelectric power plants. A major upgrade will take place in 2022 on the turbine-generator set 2 of the Slapy power plant. A great deal of effort will also be devoted to the preparation of repairs and modernization of the Dlouhé Stráně and Dalešice pumped-storage power plants, which will take place in the period 2023–2025, but above all to the comprehensive modernization of the Orlík hydroelectric power plant, with an implementation date of 2024–2030.

Germany

Electricity Generation

CEZ Group's wind farms in Germany generated 228 GWh of electricity in 2021, as compared to 292 GWh in the same period of 2020. The cause of the year-on-year decrease in 2021 is mainly due to below-average weather conditions and also to the shutdown of some turbines for necessary repairs.

Capital Construction

Regarding renewables, CEZ Group in Germany concentrates on the operation of its wind farms and the co-development of its existing wind portfolio consisting of 12 projects with an output of up to 193.5 MW. The most advanced project in the co-development portfolio is the Datteln project, which received permits for the construction and subsequent operation of 2 turbines with a capacity of 9 MW in mid-2021. For the second most advanced project, Nortorf, with a planned capacity of 11.4 MW, an application for a construction permit was submitted mid-year.

Installed Capacity

As of December 31, 2021, CEZ Group companies owned ten wind farms in Germany with 53 wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 133.5 MW, i.e., there were no year-on-year changes.

Outlook for 2022

CEZ Group power plants in Germany are projected to generate 0.3 TWh of electricity in 2022.

France

Capital Construction

CEZ Group made progress in the development of its portfolio of 17 onshore wind turbine projects during 2021. As of December 31, 2021, a total of 9 projects with a planned capacity of 97.6 MW obtained construction and operation approval. Administrative processes have been significantly affected by COVID-19 and planned activities are several months to a year behind schedule.

In 2021, the tender for the supply of turbines for 2 projects with a planned installed capacity of 27 MW was completed. Nordex will be the technology supplier.

Outlook for 2022

Construction of the Aschères-le-Marché project, with an installed capacity of 12 MW, will start in H1 2022 and is expected to be commissioned at the end of 2022. The construction of the second most advanced project, Neuville-aux-Bois, with an installed capacity of 15 MW, will start in Q2 2022 with an expected commissioning in H1 2023.

Poland

The Borek Szlachecki small hydropower plant generated 7 GWh of electricity and the Skawina small hydroelectric power plant 4.2 GWh of electricity.

As of December 31, 2021, CEZ Group companies in Poland owned generating plants with an installed capacity of 1.8 MW, all of which were hydroelectric power plants. The installed capacity remained unchanged from the same date of the last year.

Turkey

CEZ Group has only a 50% stake in the Turkish companies, they are consolidated using the equity method, and therefore their generation and installed capacity are not included in CEZ Group's aggregate figures.

Electricity Generation

Akenerji hydroelectric power plants generated 732 GWh of electricity in 2021, which was a decrease of 35 GWh year-on-year. The Ayyıldız RES wind farm's generation decreased by 4 GWh year-on-year, totaling 85 GWh for the entire year.

Capital Construction

Capital expenditure was directed mainly to the pyrolysis project in 2021.

Installed Capacity

Akenerji operated 7 hydroelectric power plants with an installed capacity of 288.9 MW and a wind park with an installed capacity of 28.2 MW. In addition, it practically controls a company that has built and prepared for operation a power plant with pyrolytic technology for the energy recovery of old tires with an installed capacity of 2.2 MW.

Outlook for 2022

Renewable generation is forecast at 0.9 TWh.

Romania

Electricity Generation

CEZ Group's generation assets were sold as of March 31, 2021. The Fântânele and Cogealac wind power plants generated 364 GWh of electricity in Q1 2021, while TMK Hydroenergy Power S.R.L.'s small hydroelectric power plants in Reşiţa generated 30 GWh of electricity.

Bulgaria

CEZ Group's generating assets were sold as of July 27, 2021. The Oreshets photovoltaic power plant generated 3.1 GWh of electricity in H1 2021.

3. Emission Sources

Generation from emission sources includes the production of electricity and heat in coal-fired or CCGT power plants and cogeneration units; it also includes the combustion of biomass.

Czechia

Electricity Generation

Coal-fired power plants in Czechia generated (excluding biomass) 16,131 GWh of electricity, i.e., 3,542 GWh less than in 2020. The decrease in generation was caused by the sale of the Počerady power plant at the end of 2020 and the closure of the Prunéřov I and Energotrans 3 power plants on June 30, 2020, and August 17, 2021, respectively. Conversely, Ledvice, Prunéřov II, and Dětmarovice (due to market conditions and shorter outages in 2021) brought year-on-year generation increases. Using natural gas, facilities in Czechia generated 3,152 GWh of electricity (a decrease of 763 GWh year-on-year), of which 2,757 GWh in the GENERATION segment and 395 GWh in the SALES segment. The year-on-year decrease of 820 GWh in the GENERATION segment was mainly due to worse market price conditions for the operation of the Počerady II CCGT, and the year-on-year increase of 58 GWh in the SALES segment through ČEZ Energo resulted from the gradual increase in cogeneration output.

Production of electricity from biomass amounted to 586 GWh, which meant 39 GWh less year-on-year.

Capital Construction

In accordance with the outage plan and as part of the overhaul of Units 21 and 22 of the Tušimice power plant, greening projects were implemented in 2021, which will enable the continued operation of the facilities even if the new BAT emission limits are in force. At the same time, preparatory and design work continued to ensure actions related to the renewal and further greening of Units 23 and 24 of the Tušimice power plant (expected implementation in 2022) and Unit B6 at the Ledvice power plant (expected implementation in 2024). As of July 1, 2021, the commercial operation of the 3.75 MW battery energy storage system at the Tušimice power plant, used exclusively for the provision of primary frequency control, has started. In accordance with the updated ČEZ strategy and the energy policy of Czechia, analyses of a possible accelerated transition to low-emission sources in the heating sector continued. The results of these analyses were essential inputs to the current CEZ Group strategy in the heating sector, which responds to the new conditions of decarbonization of electricity and heating sources while maintaining contractual heat supplies. The aim of the whole transformation is to end the associated heat generation in large coal-fired power plants and to build new low-emission sources, including the controlled replacement of central heat supply systems with decentralized sources where this makes sense.

The reconstruction of the raw water pumping station was completed at the Počerady CCGT plant, which will ensure a long-term safe supply of water for both the source itself and external customers.

Installed Capacity

mini

Installed capacity at emission facilities in Czechia amounted to 4,721 MW. The reason for the year-on-year decrease of 496 MW was the cancellation of the license of one unit of the Energotrans 3 coal-fired power plant in Mělník site as of August 17, 2021 (500 MW). In 2021, ČEZ Energo connected new cogeneration units with an installed capacity of 4.3 MW.

Solid Fossil Fuels and Sorbents

The highest share of solid fuels supplied to CEZ Group's coal-fired power plants in Czechia in 2021 consisted of brown coal, in the total amount of 12,236 thousand tons (96.7% of coal supplied). The top suppliers of brown thermal coal to ČEZ included Severočeské doly and Sokolovská uhelná. The principal amount of 11,738 thousand tons (95.9%) 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) and Sokolovská uhelná (until 2025). The amount of supplies of hard coal for the CEZ Group power plants in the territory of Czechia amounted to 414 thousand tons, of which 200 thousand tons were supplied by OKD; the remaining volume of deliveries was secured by imports. Short-term purchase agreements are concluded for the supply of hard coal to the Dětmarovice power plant. Sorbents for flue gas desulfurization at CEZ Group's coal-fired power plants in Czechia are delivered under long-term purchase contracts. Sorbent deliveries amounted to 675 thousand tons in 2021.

Biomass

Biomass deliveries procured within CEZ Group in Czechia totaled 747 thousand tons in 2021. Biomass was burned in the Hodonín power plant, where 357 thousand tons were delivered, in the Poříčí power plant, where 341 thousand tons were delivered, and in the heating plant in Otín near Jindřichův Hradec, where 49 thousand tons were delivered.

Natural Gas

Natural gas supplies for the operation of gas boilers and for the start-up and stabilization of CEZ Group's facilities were made on the basis of an annual agreement with ČEZ ESCO and amounted to 0.3 TWh in 2021. This natural gas is used as fuel in the Prunéřov, Dětmarovice, Tušimice, Temelín, and Ledvice power plants, as well as in the Dvůr Králové nad Labem and Trmice heating plants.

Natural gas for the Počerady II CCGT plant is purchased on the wholesale market and its 2021 consumption was 4.9 TWh.

Outlook for 2022

Coal-fired power plants are expected to generate 16.7 TWh of electricity in 2022. The priority task is the implementation of greening measures at Units B23 and B24 of the Tušimice power plant, which will enable further operation of the facility with compliance with the new valid emission limits. Another key task is the commercial provision of new natural gas-based production technology at the Mělník site, which will ensure the fulfillment of the long-term heat supply agreement for the capital city of Prague, Mělník, and Neratovice. The gas-fired power plant in Czechia is expected to generate 3.6 TWh. Generation from natural gas in 2022 may be significantly affected by developments in Ukraine and the consequences of sanctions against the Russian Federation. At the same time, analyses and preparatory work will continue for possible future installations of gas-fired facilities at existing generating sites.

Heat Generation and Sales

CEZ Group's facilities in Czechia supplied 19,713 TJ of heat to customers in 2021, which represented an increase in volume by 1,135 TJ compared to 2020. Of this total, 17,635 TJ of heat were delivered to customers in the GENERATION segment (up by 873 TJ year-on-year) and 2,077 TJ of heat were delivered in the SALES segment through ČEZ Energo and ČEZ Energetické služby (an increase of 262 TJ year-on-year). The year-on-year increase was mainly driven by ČEZ Teplárenská and Energotrans. ČEZ Teplárenská delivered 7,158 TJ of heat outside CEZ Group in 2021, an increase of 482 TJ year-on-year, due to the above-average cold weather in 2021. It supplies heat to customers in 33 cities in the Ústí nad Labem, Karlovy Vary, Central Bohemia, Pardubice, Hradec Králové, Moravia-Silesia, and Southern Moravia Regions.

Energotrans' delivery volume increased by 550 TJ year-on-year to 9,942 TJ due to colder weather in 2021. Its main customer is Pražská teplárenská supplying the capital city of Prague and the town of Neratovice.

Outlook for 2022

Heat supplies to customers in Czechia are estimated at 16,250 TJ in 2022. The actual amount will primarily depend on climatic conditions.

Poland

Electricity Generation

In 2021, CEZ Group's coal-fired facilities in Poland generated (excluding electricity generated from biomass) 1,824 GWh of electricity, i.e., 163 GWh (8.2%) less than in the same period of 2020. Biomass generation in both plants amounted to 311 GWh, i.e., 230 GWh (42.5%) less year-on-year. The reason for the lower amount of biomass burned in 2021 was due to a longer maintenance outage at the Chorzów power plant.

Capital Construction

In the Skawina power plant, the investment funds were spent mainly on the modernization of boilers, while in Chorzów power plant the investments were mainly related to the overhaul of Unit 1.

Installed Capacity

As of December 31, 2021, CEZ Group companies in Poland owned generating plants with an installed capacity of 568.4 MW in coal-fired power plants. The installed capacity did not change year-on-year.

Outlook for 2022

The Chorzów and Skawina power plants are planned to generate 2.2 TWh of electricity in 2022.

Heat Generation

The Chorzów and Skawina power plants generated 6,122 TJ of heat, 583 TJ more than in the same period in 2020. The main reason was the lower average temperature in H1 2021. The heat supply amounted to 5,996 TJ, i.e., 592 TJ more than in the same period of 2020.

Outlook for 2022

The volume of heat generated is planned to be nearly 6,000 TJ.

Turkey

The Turkish companies are consolidated using the equity method; consequently neither their generation nor their installed capacity are included in CEZ Group's aggregate figures.

Electricity Generation

Generation by the Erzin CCGT power plant amounted to 4,266 GWh, as compared to 3,738 GWh in 2020. The year-on-year increase was influenced by higher local market demand.

Capital Construction

Investment construction in 2021 was mainly directed towards repairs of the Erzin power plant.

Installed Capacity

The installed capacity of the Erzin CCGT plant was 904 MW.

Outlook for 2022

Generation at the Erzin CCGT plant is expected to be 3.5 TWh.

4. Trading

The trading activity involves trading commodities on one's own account for speculative profit. The economic effect from trading activities is generated primarily in ČEZ, a. s. This activity contributes low units of CZK billions to the CEZ Group's economy each year. The trading activities are separated from the actual business of securing the needs of generation sources including the hedging activities of these sources in the medium term.

The activity is managed centrally from Czechia by ČEZ. The actual trading, including the settlement of trades, takes place in several European countries with wholesale partners and through energy exchanges. At the same time, CEZ Group operates trading companies in several countries, where local support for ČEZ trading or sales of commodities to end-use customers take place simultaneously.

All trading activities are subject to Risk Frameworks (defining market and credit limits, permitted trades, and trading rules), compliance with which is continuously monitored by the CEZ Group Risk Committee. Activities are also subject to EFET regulatory rules.

More than 326 thousand transactions were concluded and 663 TWh of electricity, 1,444 TWh of natural gas, and 1,385 million tons of emission allowances were traded in 2021.

In 2021, there was a record increase in commodity prices and, in particular, volatility on commodity markets increased. ČEZ's trading team managed to make the most of the increased volatility and achieve record profits from commodity trading, especially on foreign markets. The trading margin for 2021 reached a record level of CZK +6.8 billion. A part of this trading margin (corresponding to the difference between internal demand for a transaction and contracted external trade) will be reflected in CEZ Group's economic result only in the year of delivery, i.e., in future years. In particular, this concerns ongoing hedging of future electricity generation, emission allowance purchases for generation, and electricity and gas purchases for end-use customers.

CEZ Group has also demonstrated strength and stability in managing related market risks, managing a liquidity crisis due to the extreme increase in commodity prices at the end of 2021 and the need to supply cash as collateral for its sales contracts on exchanges. This situation was faced in particular by the largest electricity generators in Europe, who had sold significant volumes of electricity by hedging their future generation over time. Unlike several major foreign energy companies, ČEZ did not have to apply for state guarantees and managed the situation within the framework of a prudent financial policy and risk management tools.

MINING Segment

Severočeské doly

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 even in 2021. 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. The medium-term market and regulatory conditions for coal-fired power deteriorated significantly in 2021, following the increase in climate targets at EU and Czech level. In December 2020, the government's Coal Commission recommended phasing out coal combustion by 2038 at the latest. In the program statement of the new Czech government, the ambition to postpone the coal phase-out date to 2033 is clearly stated. Coal-fired generation facilities are likely to be replaced by other types of power plants gradually, causing a decrease in coal demand already in the medium term. For these reasons, the market value of Severočeské doly has decreased significantly and, in accordance with accounting standards, CEZ Group has made a significant impairment charge to the mining company's fixed assets in 2021, reflecting the lower expected demand for coal and the earlier termination of coal mining.

Coal Mining and Sales

Severočeské doly sold a total of 15.9 million tons of fuel in 2021, registering a year-on-year increase of 0.5 million tons. The increase occurred in spite of lower sales to customers outside CEZ Group, where a decrease in the demands of some major customers was recorded. On the contrary, more coal was demanded by power plants from CEZ Group.

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 other necessary operations and measures.

Outlook for 2022

Severočeské doly plans to produce 15.1 million tons of coal in 2022. The year-on-year decrease in sales volume corresponds with the demand from CEZ Group and the decline in requirements of external customers. Fuel deliveries will be determined primarily by the needs of coal-fired power plants, which are in turn based on demand for electricity and also related to winter temperatures.

LOMY MOŘINA

The 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 an annual quantity covering approximately 80% of their consumption. In 2021, limestone supplies for ČEZ's power plants amounted to approx. 550 thousand tons.

The estimate for 2022 is approximately 450 thousand tons. Verified limestone reserves allow long-term extraction operations. Customers purchasing the company's other important commodity, construction aggregate, whose deliveries are estimated at approx. 270 thousand tons in 2022, are entities outside CEZ Group.

Lithium Ore (Zinnwaldite) Mining Exploration

ČEZ has been developing a lithium ore mining project in Cínovec since March 2020. It holds a 51% stake in the project through Severočeské doly. During 2021, the final feasibility study for mining was developed. In the processing area, testing continued with conventional and innovative lithium processing methods in semi-operational conditions and pilot test lines. In particular, specific methods of extracting lithium from zinnwaldite are being validated, ensuring high efficiency of the overall process and neutral environmental impacts.

DISTRIBUTION Segment

The segment's existing companies operate primarily in Czechia. The segment also includes a distribution company in Turkey, in which CEZ Group has only a 50% stake. In 2021, the segment included divested distribution companies in Romania (sold as of March 31, 2021) and distribution companies in Bulgaria (sold as of July 27, 2021).

The most significant company in the segment is the distribution company ČEZ Distribuce, which distributes electricity in an area covering approximately 66% of Czechia.

The segment's operating revenues for 2021 reached

CZK 39.0 billion and segment EBITDA reached CZK 19.9 billion.

Electricity Distribution

In 2021, ČEZ Distribuce provided 36,551 GWh of electricity to customers. The year-on-year increase of 1,875 GWh was due to higher demand for electricity at all voltage levels. There was an increase of 874 GWh at middle and high voltages, mainly due to the easing of anti-COVID measures in the industrial sector compared to 2020. At the low voltage level, consumption increased by 1,001 GWh year-on-year, partly due to lower average temperatures in 2021, as well as higher consumption in the residential customer category mainly due to anti-COVID measures and a change in the approach to supplying customers at this voltage level.

In electricity distribution, all prices are regulated by the Energy Regulatory Office. As of December 31, 2020, there were more than 3.7 million service points connected to the distribution grid of ČEZ Distribuce.

Customer Service

The year 2021 brought a number of positive developments, notably a higher level of digitization, but also complications related to the closure of several electricity suppliers and the supplier of last resort regime. This was reflected, among other things, in a record total of 4.5 million customer inquiries. CEZ Group was also hit by several extraordinary events in 2021, the largest of which was the calamity caused by the Hendrik storm on October 21–23, which affected more than 300 thousand service points with total damage to distribution equipment exceeding CZK 30 million.

The call center handled more than 340 thousand calls related to the faults and more than 470 thousand customers used the bezstavy.cz website providing up-to-date information on the status of electricity distribution at a specific address. In connection with the launch of the subsidy program called Modernization Fund, ČEZ Distribuce has launched the specialized microsite www.cezdistribuce.cz/oze with simple instructions and the possibility to request the connection of a generating facility or micro-source on-line. In 2021, 5,900 generating facilities with a total installed capacity of 37.5 MW were connected to the distribution grid, and more than 1,600 applications for connection of generating facilities with a capacity of more than 1 MW were received.

From January 2021, following the "Leaflet Years are Over" campaign, ČEZ Distribuce was the first distributor in Czechia to stop announcing scheduled outages through paper notices. Customers are informed about outages by e-mail, SMS, on the website www.cezdistribuce.cz/odstavky, and through municipal information systems. The free service of sending outage notifications is already being used by nearly 850 thousand customers for their 1.5 million points of consumption. Another traditional workshop was organized for electricity suppliers, where, in addition to information about the changes, there is also an exchange of practical experience. A new feature was a dedicated online webinar for renewable electricity generators and a pilot webinar for mayors.

Capital Construction

ČEZ Distribuce invested over CZK 13 billion in the renewal and development of the distribution grid in 2021. The main objective was to improve the quality, reliability, and security of electricity supply. Investments were directed at the renewal of distribution grids of all voltage levels, reconstruction of power stations, and renewal of transformers and electricity meters. A significant part of the investment was spent on developing the distribution system, mainly to cover the increasing number of customer requirements for connection to the distribution system including the development of grid traffic management. In 2021, the Company continued to make capital expenditures on digitization, smart technologies, and fiber-optic infrastructure development.

Outlook for 2022

ČEZ Distribuce estimates its 2022 electricity supplies to customers at 36.2 TWh. This volume is based on the expected development of electricity consumption, taking into account the impact of COVID-19 on the Czech economy. Priority areas in distribution include in particular safe, reliable and efficient 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, including elements supporting the reliability increase of the distribution system. ČEZ Distribuce continues the 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.

SALES Segment

mini

The segment's existing companies operate primarily in Czechia, Germany, Slovakia, and Poland. They also operate in Hungary, Italy, Austria, the Netherlands, and there is a joint venture in Turkey. In 2021, the segment included divested sales companies in Romania (sold as of March 31, 2021) and sales companies in Bulgaria (sold as of July 27, 2021).

The most significant companies in the segment are ČEZ Prodej (selling electricity, natural gas, and ancillary services to residential and retail customers), ČEZ ESCO (coordinating CEZ Group's ESCO activities on the Czech and Slovak markets and selling complex energy services, electricity, and natural gas to corporate customers, municipalities, and state administration entities) and the German company Elevion GmbH (coordinating CEZ Group's ESCO activities on foreign markets outside Slovakia and primarily engaged in providing comprehensive energy services to corporate customers, municipalities, and state administration entities).

The segment's operating revenues for 2021 reached CZK 93.7 billion and segment EBITDA reached CZK 5.4 billion.

Czechia

Sales of Electricity and Natural Gas

In 2021, CEZ Group's offer for end-use customers in Czechia included:

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

Total sales to end-use customers in 2021 amounted to 18,680 GWh of electricity and 6,653 GWh of natural gas. In Czechia, sales of commodities to end-use residential customers and smaller companies are provided by ČEZ Prodej. The volume of electricity and gas sales in 2021 was significantly affected by the effects of the COVID-19 measures. This is because it positively affects residential customers' electricity consumption due to the longer time customers spend in their homes (either due to working from home or due to quarantines and isolation ordered because of COVID-19). The second reason for higher residential customer consumption was brought about by temperature. The year 2021 was the second coldest year in the last decade.

However, unprecedented developments in energy markets had a major impact on end-use customers. The year 2021 was marked by huge increases in commodity prices. ČEZ Prodej was forced to react to this growth and increase prices for new customers. And in line with a responsible hedging strategy, it gradually purchased commodities for its existing customers. However, some alternative suppliers were unable to cope with the steep price increases and hundreds of thousands of customers had to find a new permanent supplier and immediately start paying the current record high market prices. The largest supplier to cease supply during 2021 was Bohemia Energy. Overnight, hundreds of thousands of the company's clients found themselves in the so-called supplier of last resort (SLR) regime, where the main local supplier legally takes over the supply of electricity and gas. The SLR scheme is legally set for 6 months and prices are set by the Energy Regulatory Office. Given the timing at the start of the heating season, the level of advances was thus even higher due to the high electricity prices for this time of year when gas and electricity shortages were at their worst and many end customers were thus in a very difficult situation. Suppliers of last resort came under enormous pressure, having to deal with hundreds of thousands of transfers. ČEZ Prodej had to attend to more than 370,000 customers and was the first to offer these clients the opportunity to conclude a standard electricity supply agreement online and switch from the SLR mode to a standard contractual relationship without having to wait for their requests to be processed in overloaded customer care centers or call centers. Clients who could not be contacted electronically or by letter were visited by ČEZ Prodej representatives in person. Thanks to the extraordinary commitment of the staff, most of the requests were processed within the given deadline and the customers were offered one of the advantageous acquisition products with an agreement for 1, 2, or 3 years in the SLR regime.

Corporate, municipal, and public authority customers are supplied with electricity and gas by ČEZ ESCO, which covers all their energy needs from the supply of commodities to energy services within CEZ Group. In 2021, ČEZ ESCO supplied commodities to 24,911 customers at more than 118,000 service points. Total annual electricity and gas supplies outside the Group increased by 12% year-on-year. The main reason for this increase was the economic and consumption recovery in 2021 following the partial relaxation of the anti-COVID measures in place in 2020. At the same time, new customer acquisitions and overall higher contracted values for 2021 had a positive impact. Some corporate, municipal, and public authority customers also joined by switching from their original suppliers to the SLR regime, from which they chose to transfer to ČEZ ESCO. In response to the increased demand for CO2 reduction, ČEZ ESCO began offering a new product to customers—Emission Free Electricity, which provides environmentally friendly and emission-free energy from nuclear power plants. The entire process of handling emission-free electricity is fully transparent and verified by an external independent certification authority, Bureau Veritas. The customer receives a certificate confirming that they have obtained electricity from a Czech emission-free source*. Emission-free electricity from ČEZ ESCO will be newly purchased by Spolchemie and Eurovia.

In the area of digitization, a unique Smart Invoice application was launched, thanks to which customers get a comprehensive overview of all invoices. All relevant information is available in one place with just a few clicks.

Sales of Services and Decentralized Energy Solutions

The emphasis on environmental protection, technological progress, and the wishes of customers themselves are driving the energy industry towards decentralized and environmentally friendly sources and processes, with energy savings also playing a key role.

The market for guaranteed energy savings increased in 2021, and CEZ Group continued to consolidate its dominant position here. ČEZ ESCO has helped a number of companies, cities, and regions to introduce electromobility and supported them on their journey towards modern low-emission energy. An increasing number of customers are placing greater emphasis on energy from CO2-neutral sources, for example the cooperation with a major automotive customer was extended in 2021 to include the construction of the largest rooftop photovoltaic power plant in Czechia.

ČEZ ESCO, as the leader in providing energy services in Czechia, continued to strengthen its leading market position in the number of cogeneration units in operation and welcomed a number of new customers—for example, the hospitals in Havlíčkův Brod and Pelhřimov, the towns of Jablonec nad Nisou, Sušice, Klatovy, and Broumov, and the Jihlava door manufacturer Sapeli will be warmed by the new cogeneration units. ČEZ ESCO has an irreplaceable role in the greening of the Czech heating industry and expects further increase in cooperation with entities involved in heat generation and supply. In this context, cooperation with the Statutory City of Havířov was expanded in 2021 and a joint venture was created to help the city transform its heating industry from coal to modern and more environmentally friendly sources. In connection with the change in the Transmission System Operation Rules (the so-called TS Code), which allowed new suppliers to enter the market for power balance services (PBS), steps have been initiated and are ongoing to provide power balance services from operating cogeneration units, including battery storage.

* It is a guarantee of origin with a certificate that the customer's consumption is fully covered by the generation in nuclear power plants. For physical reasons, electricity from a mix of generating facilities is supplied to the customer from the distribution network.

In H1 2021, ČEZ ESCO launched and gained the first customers of the Lighting for CZK 1 service for towns and municipalities in Czechia, where municipalities do not buy the modernized lighting but rent it. The lighting rental is paid for by the savings from replacing the street lighting with new, more environmentally friendly ones.

ČEZ ESCO successfully completed two acquisitions in 2021 and strengthened its competencies in the cleanroom and technical building equipment sector. First, it expanded its portfolio by adding EP Rožnov, which is engaged in designing and equipping cleanroom technologies for operating theaters, halls for the production of nanoparticles for the automotive industry, and optics. The acquisition of EP Rožnov strengthens ČEZ ESCO's position in contracts for medical facilities, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies. Towards the end of the year, ČEZ ESCO completed the acquisition of CAPEXUS, a company that deals with the design and implementation of energy-efficient office space from design to completion, interior consultation and building technology solutions. In the context of the pressure for decarbonization and energy efficient operation of commercial buildings, the real estate market is expected to see a strong demand for modern and functional revitalization.

Heat Generation and Sales

mini

The most important CEZ Group companies engaged in heat generation and sales (ČEZ, Energotrans, and ČEZ Teplárenská) are part of the GENERATION segment. In the SALES segment, heat generation and sales are handled by ČEZ Energo and ČEZ Energetické služby (subsidiaries of ČEZ ESCO), which supplied a total of 2,077 TJ of heat in 2021, an increase of 262 TJ year-on-year. The increase was mainly caused by the construction of new generation facilities and colder weather in 2021, but also by higher operating hours of cogeneration units due to higher market electricity prices.

Outlook for 2022

The cogeneration units and boiler stations in Czechia are expected to generate 0.4 TWh of electricity. Generation from natural gas in 2022 may be significantly affected by developments in Ukraine and the consequences of sanctions against the Russian Federation. Heat sales are forecast at 1,951 TJ.

Sales of Other Products and Services

ČEZ Prodej installed a record number of technologies in 2021. It delivered 1,544 photovoltaic power plants to its customers, 999 of which were combined with battery solutions, and installed 1,124 heat pumps compared to 514 in 2020. The total installed capacity of these installations reached 7.4 MW. ČEZ Prodej also offers modern energy technologies to customers in its network of customer centers, where they can consult their questions with a technology specialist. Customers will find the largest technology showroom in the customer center in Plzeň. In 2021, further expansion of TENAUR (a subsidiary of ČEZ Prodej) took place, which not only develops but also installs modern technologies for households. TENAUR has expanded its operations to Czechia with a new branch in Jičín, and currently has already 6 branches. External subcontractors have made a significant contribution to the overall installations. ČEZ Prodej also operates in the field of telecommunication services. With its basic product "Mobile from ČEZ" it is one of the largest virtual operators in Czechia with more than 125,000 SIM cards. In 2021, a new tariff offer was launched under the "Mobile from ČEZ" product.

ČEZ ESCO is working intensively on the development of the Photovoltaics for CZK 1 product, which offers customers the possibility of direct and long-term reduction of CO2 emissions, partial independence from central electricity sources, and a very interesting way of long-term fixation of electricity prices at a time of rising commodity prices. To this end, a new subsidiary, Green energy capital, was set up at the end of the year, which will pool all the photovoltaic power plant projects built on its own property with the aim of supplying the electricity generated to end-use customers on the basis of long-term contracts. Telco Pro Services (TPS) provided telecommunication services for the needs of CEZ Group and the external market. In 2021, it recorded success in the sale of optical components, both in Czechia and Slovakia.

The "Last Mile" project was launched in 2019 to provide quality internet connectivity to end-use customers. This project uses the know-how and infrastructure of TPS and its subsidiary ČEZNET. Telco Infrastructure, s.r.o., is established to own and build the basic communications infrastructure to which the Group's other companies supplying services to end-use customers will be connected.

The Last Mile project not only involves the construction of new infrastructure, but also exploits acquisition opportunities in ISPs and fiber network owners to create a major provider of quality internet connectivity achieving group synergies. The first acquisition was made by TPS in 2020 with the purchase of 4 companies of the Tanet group providing internet in the Tachov region. In H1 2021, they merged into ČEZNET s.r.o. (formerly TaNET West s.r.o.). At the same time, another internet provider FDLnet.CZ was acquired. In November 2021, the businesses comprising the TelNET Holding group were acquired, and the acquisitions continued in December. The acquired companies are major internet access providers in the Hradec Králové, Liberec, and Zlín regions.

Outlook for 2022

Total sales to end-use customers in 2022 is expected at 22,781 GWh of electricity and 8,851 GWh of natural gas. ČEZ Prodej expects an increase in electricity supply to end-use customers in 2022 compared to 2021, as well as an increase in market share. The gain of new customers following the termination of supply by several major alternative suppliers in connection with record commodity price increases in 2021 will have a major impact. In addition, given the turbulent price developments and increased volatility in electricity and gas prices, it will be necessary to respond more quickly to market and client needs.

In terms of technology implementation, ČEZ Prodej expects rapid increase to more than 3,800 installations of photovoltaic sources and heat pumps. It will continue its plan to expand installation, service, and sales capacities and move closer to covering the entire country. Process redesign along with automation and digitization will be key for ČEZ Prodej to achieve its goals. In additional services, the company will focus on further developing the customer base of the virtual operator Mobile from ČEZ.

For ČEZ ESCO, 2022 brings huge business opportunities in connection with the EU's climate ambitions and measures, to which significant financial resources will be allocated. ČEZ ESCO will be able to realize its potential in offering products related to energy optimization and decarbonization, especially in the areas of construction of cogeneration units, thermal power plants, photovoltaic power plants, customer savings projects, energy recovery from waste, and electromobility. The company will also significantly contribute to the "greening" of the heating industry within CEZ Group and among its customers.

Telco Pro Services, including its subsidiaries, will continue to grow through the Last Mile project, either through internal investments or potential new acquisition opportunities. As part of the post-acquisition steps, it will subsequently simplify organizational structures and reduce costs in the acquired companies.

Slovakia

Sales of Electricity and Energy Services

At the same time, consolidation of existing companies will continue.

Revenues from the sale of energy services in Germany in 2022 are forecast at CZK 16.3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 15%.

Poland

Sales of Energy Services

In Poland, CEZ Group operates within the ESCO business through Euroklimat (technical security of buildings), Metrolog (heat management and cogeneration), and OEM Energy (photovoltaic installations). The Polish companies generated sales of CZK 2.5 billion in 2021. The companies' activities were adversely affected by the impact of the COVID-19 measures, which reflected on the economic results. The spread of COVID-19 also had the adverse effect of slowing down acquisition development.

Sales of Electricity and Natural Gas

Large and commercial retail customers were supplied with 155 GWh of electricity in 2021; the volume supplied in 2020 was 332 GWh. The year-on-year decrease reflects the intention to reduce sales activities to end-use customers in the country. As of December 31, 2021, the supply of electricity to end-use customers has been completely discontinued. The supply of natural gas to end-use customers has already been discontinued as of December 31, 2020.

Outlook for 2022

The negative impact of COVID-19 on business activities is expected to be reduced, hence there will be an organic increase and search for acquisition opportunities in ESCO services.

Hungary

Electricity Sales

CEZ Magyarország Kft. (CEZ Hungary Ltd.) sold 1,467 GWh of electricity to end-use customers in Hungary in 2021, which was a year-on-year increase of 137 GWh. The increase was mainly due to a reduction in customer consumption related to COVID-19 in 2020.

Changes in Revenues, Expenses, and Income

Net Income Breakdown of ČEZ, a. s. (CZK Billions)

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

The net income (income after tax) of ČEZ, a. s., amounted to CZK 4.4 billion, a year-on-year decrease of CZK 16.7 billion. Operating revenues amounted to CZK 122.0 billion. The year-on-year increase of CZK 31.5 billion was due to higher sales of electricity, heat, and gas (CZK +30.5 billion), higher sales of services and other sales (CZK +0.8 billion), and higher other operating revenues (CZK +0.2 billion). Gains and losses on commodity derivative transactions contributed to the year-on-year decrease in profit (CZK -10.8 billion). Operating expenses increased by CZK 25.6 billion year-on-year to CZK 107.9 billion, mainly due to higher expenses for the purchase of electricity, gas, and other energy (CZK -15.5 billion), higher costs for fuel and emission allowances (CZK -3.6 billion), and higher depreciation and amortization (CZK -4.2 billion). Personnel expenses (CZK -0.8 billion) and other operating expenses (CZK -1.5 billion) also increased.

Other income and expenses decreased net income by CZK 12.0 billion year-on-year. This result is mainly due to higher impairment of financial assets (CZK -7.7 billion), lower income on the sale of equity interests (CZK -3.7 billion), and lower dividend income (CZK -3.3 billion). By contrast, there was lower interest expense on debt (CZK +1.0 billion). Overall, foreign exchange income, including the revaluation of financial derivatives and securities, increased by CZK 1.7 billion year-on-year. Income tax decreased by CZK 0.2 billion.

Cash Flows

Financing activities

Net effect of currency translation and allowances in cash

Investing activities

Operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities decreased by CZK 12.0 billion year-on-year to CZK 33.4 billion. Income before tax adjusted for nonmonetary operations decreased cash flows from operating activities (CZK -25.0 billion) due to a decrease in income before tax (CZK -16.9 billion) and due to adjustments for nonmonetary operations (CZK -8.2 billion). The change in working capital had an overall positive effect (CZK +13.9 billion). Interest paid decreased as a result of the reduction in the volume of bonds issued (CZK +1.3 billion). Income tax paid decreased year-on-year (CZK +0.9 billion) and interest received increased (CZK +0.2 billion). However, dividends received were lower in 2021 (CZK -3.3 billion).

Changes in working capital were significantly affected by the change in the stock of emission allowances (CZK +62.6 billion) and the change in trade receivables and payables (CZK -63.3 billion), due to higher margin deposits on the energy exchange and with commodity traders following the significant increase in commodity prices, especially electricity, in 2021 and the usual way of hedging the related credit risks. Positive contributions were made by the change in the stock of receivables and liabilities from derivatives (CZK +10.3 billion) and the change in the stock of term deposits and debt securities (CZK +4.9 billion). By contrast, the change in inventories of materials and fossil fuels had a negative impact (CZK -1.7 billion). Other items had a positive impact on working capital (CZK +1.1 billion).

Net cash flow from investing activities increased by CZK 41.9 billion year-on-year to CZK +21.9 billion. The most significant impact was higher income from the sale of subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates (CZK +35.5 billion), mainly due to the sale of Romanian and Bulgarian assets. Loans granted decreased (CZK +9.8 billion) and repayments increased (CZK +1.6 billion). In contrast, the acquisition of fixed assets (CZK -3.0 billion) and the acquisition of subsidiaries, joint ventures, and associates increased in 2021 (CZK -0.9 billion). Revenues from the sale of fixed assets (CZK -0.8 billion) and restricted financial assets (CZK -0.3 billion) were lower year-on-year.

Net cash flow from financing activities changed from CZK -28.2 billion in 2020 to CZK -35.1 billion in 2021. The most significant impact on the increase in funds used was the change in the balance of liabilities from group cash pooling (CZK -12.0 billion) and higher dividends paid to the Company's shareholders (CZK -9.7 billion). In contrast, the higher balance of drawing and repaying loans and borrowings had a positive impact on cash flows from financing activities (CZK +13.0 billion), as did the sale of treasury shares (CZK +0.6 billion). Lease payments were lower in 2021 (CZK +1.2 billion).

Exchange rate differences and allowances affecting cash had a negative impact (CZK -0.7 billion).

Structure of Assets, Equity, and Liabilities

mini

The value of assets, equity, and liabilities increased by CZK 478.5 billion year-on-year to CZK 1,110.9 billion. Fixed assets decreased by CZK 9.8 billion to CZK 409.6 billion.

The net value of property, plant, and equipment decreased (CZK -3.8 billion). There was an increase in property, plant, and equipment in progress, including advance payments (CZK +1.4 billion) and a decrease in nuclear fuel (CZK -0.6 billion).

Other fixed assets decreased (CZK -6.9 billion). The most significant change was the decrease in shares in subsidiaries, net (CZK -12.0 billion), mainly due to the creation of impairment of subsidiaries. Intangible fixed assets, net, decreased (CZK -2.3 billion) due to a decrease in long-term emission allowances. Long-term financial receivables decreased (CZK -1.2 billion) due to a decrease in long-term loans within CEZ Group. On the other hand, deferred tax assets increased (CZK +6.8 billion), long-term equity securities increased (CZK +0.9 billion), and receivables from derivative transactions increased (CZK +0.5 billion). Investment property, net, was higher in 2021 (CZK +0.4 billion).

Current assets increased by CZK 488.3 billion to CZK 701.3 billion. The main reason for the increase was a significant increase in the prices of electricity, gas, and emission allowances, which had a significant impact on the increase of short-term derivatives, including options (CZK +444.1 billion) and the increase of trade receivables, net (CZK +77.5 billion), especially receivables from margin deposits on the energy exchange and with commodity traders. Cash and cash equivalents (CZK +19.8 billion) and cash pooling receivables (CZK +3.0 billion) increased. The value of inventories of materials and fossil fuels also increased (CZK +2.7 billion) and other current assets grew (CZK +1.4 billion), mainly contractual assets. The sale of Romanian and Bulgarian assets was completed in 2021, which reduced assets classified as held for sale (CZK -31.2 billion). The value of emission allowances decreased (CZK -20.1 billion). Short-term group loans (CZK -3.9 billion), short-term term deposits (CZK -2.8 billion), and short-term receivables from the sale of subsidiaries (CZK -2.4 billion) decreased. Other items were slightly positive (CZK +0.2 billion).

Equity decreased by CZK 85.0 billion to CZK 116.4 billion. Although the net income generated in 2021 led to an increase in equity (CZK +4.4 billion), the other comprehensive income significantly decreased it (CZK -61.8 billion) as well as dividends granted to shareholders (CZK -27.9 billion). Other changes in equity were positive (CZK +0.3 billion), mainly due to the sale of treasury shares. Long-term liabilities decreased by CZK 0.9 billion, to CZK 221.1 billion. The liability on bonds issued decreased (CZK -23.2 billion) and long-term bank loans also decreased (CZK -1.2 billion). The deferred tax liability decreased (CZK -8.2 billion). Conversely, there was an increase in long-term liabilities from derivative transactions (CZK +25.2 billion) and an increase in long-term provisions, in particular the provision for demolition and dismantling of coal-fired power plants after their decommissioning (CZK +4.0 billion), nuclear provisions (CZK +2.2 billion), and provisions for employee benefit obligations (CZK +0.4 billion).

Current liabilities increased by CZK 564.5 billion to CZK 773.4 billion. The significant increase in electricity, gas, and allowance prices resulted in an increase in derivative liabilities (CZK 533.1 billion) and an increase in trade liabilities (CZK +13.9 billion),

especially liabilities on the energy exchange and trade liabilities to commodity suppliers. Short-term loans increased year-on-year (CZK +24.3 billion). There was also an increase in short-term provisions payable (CZK +2.0 billion), income taxes payable (CZK +1.7 billion), group cash pooling payable (CZK +1.1 billion), and other current liabilities (CZK +0.8 billion), mainly in the area of taxes and charges, excluding income taxes. The short-term part of long-term debt decreased (CZK -12.5 billion).

Treasury Shares

To cover claims arising out of the Company's stock option plan, 2,516,240 treasury shares, representing 0.468% of its stated capital, were held on the asset account of ČEZ, a. s., with the Central Securities Depository as at January 1, 2021.

ČEZ used 1,257,891 shares to satisfy the claims of beneficiaries under the stock option plan in 2021. The average call price at which the shares were sold to beneficiaries amounted to CZK 524.95 per share. The total amount received for the transfer of the shares to the beneficiaries was CZK 660.4 million (including interest).

As at December 31, 2021, the above-mentioned asset account contained 1,258,349 treasury shares, that is, 0.234% of the stated capital.

Comprehensive Income

Total comprehensive income, net of tax, decreased by CZK 73.5 billion to CZK -57.4 billion year-on-year. Net income decreased (CZK -16.7 billion) and other comprehensive income decreased (CZK -56.9 billion). Other comprehensive income was negatively affected mainly by the change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments (CZK -77.5 billion), which resulted from reduction in the fair value of sales contracts for electricity supplies in 2022—2026 in relation to increased market prices of electricity in 2021. It was further reduced by the change in the fair value of debt securities (CZK -1.6 billion). By contrast, the derecognition of cash flow hedges to profit or loss increased the comprehensive income (CZK +8.6 billion), the related deferred tax (CZK +13.4 billion) and the revaluation of equity instruments (CZK +0.3 billion) had a similar effect.

ČEZ, a. s., Electricity Generation

In 2021, ČEZ generated 49.3 TWh of electricity, 0.1 TWh less year-on-year. Out of this, the same amount of electricity was generated from coal at 13.0 TWh year-on-year. Year-on-year generation was higher at Ledvice and Prunéřov II due to favorable market conditions and shorter outages, while it was lower at Tušimice due to longer outages, Prunéřov I due to the cancellation of the license on June 30, 2020, and Energotrans 3 due to the closure of operations on August 17, 2021.

Nuclear power plants generated a total of 30.7 TWh of electricity in 2021, an increase of 0.7 TWh year-on-year. Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant generated 14.9 TWh of this, i.e., 0.6 GWh more than in 2020 (due to shorter maintenance outages than in 2020). Temelín Nuclear Power Plant generated 15.9 TWh, i.e., 0.1 TWh more year-on-year (due to an increase in achievable capacity). The Počerady CCGT power plant generated 2.8 TWh, 0.8 TWh less year-on-year, due to higher gas prices in 2021. Power generation at hydroelectric power plants reached 2.3 TWh, up 0.1 TWh year-on-year due to better weather conditions in 2021 and an increase in installed capacity at Lipno 1. 0.5 TWh was generated from biomass, 0.04 TWh less than in 2020.

Environment and Biodiversity

Reducing the environmental impact of the energy sector, respecting global climate goals, supporting and protecting biodiversity, and meeting all emission and environmental requirements set by legislation and regulatory authorities are long-term strategic goals of CEZ Group. Measuring and evaluating relevant environmental impacts is an obvious part of the operational processes of CEZ Group companies.

Air Protection

Czechia

mini

The generation of electricity and heat from fossil sources, and the extraction of sources, are associated with emissions of pollutants to the air. Dust particles are emitted during coal mining. The combustion of fossil fuels results, in particular, in emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Emission reduction equipment is installed at combustion facilities operated by CEZ Group and its efficiency is continually improved as best available techniques develop. None of the combustion sources of CEZ Group were recorded to have breached the conditions set for the operation of the plant in 2021.

In order to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions, most facilities use a highly efficient wet limestone scrubbing method to desulfurize the flue gases, while smaller sources use a semi-dry method in which the pollutants in the flue gases are absorbed on lime slurry particles, which are then dried by the heat of the flue gases. Dust particles are captured by high-efficiency electrostatic precipitators or fabric filters.

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.

Nitrogen oxides emissions are reduced either directly by primary measures in the combustion process, or by means of secondary reduction techniques using ammonia water or urea.

In connection with the termination of Czechia's Interim National Plan, the stricter emission limits of the Industrial Emissions Directive (Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council) have been met for all sources burning fossil fuels since July 1, 2020. Further tightening of the emission limits is linked to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1442 on the conclusions on Best Available Techniques (BAT) for large combustion plants. To meet the obligations set out in this European legislation, a number of greening and optimization measures have been implemented in advance to safely achieve the limit concentrations.

Mercury is a newly monitored pollutant emitted into the air, for which very strict emission limits are set, and therefore investment projects have been launched to implement techniques to reduce emissions.

CEZ Group systematically monitors the impact of coal-fired power plant and heating plant operations on the air. Gaseous pollutants (SO2, NOX) and mainly dust particles of various fractions (PM10 a PM2.5) are measured in our own emission stations located near coal-fired power plants. 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, in particular 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).

Pollution measurement data is included in the Air Quality Information Systems database (ISKO) run at national level by the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute.

Poland

The Skawina and Chorzów power plants did not exceed the emission limits for harmful substances set in the permit in 2021 and are complying with the requirements of national legislation and regulation.

The significant decrease in emissions is related to the sale of the Počerady coal-fired power plant at the end of 2020 and the shutdown of the Energotrans 3 power plant in August 2021.

Emissions of pollutants SO2 and NOX from electricity generation decreased year-on-year by 45% and 26%, respectively. Emissions of solid pollutants and CO2 were also reduced by 37% and 15%, respectively.

Noise Protection

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 Poříčí 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.

The Polish power plants Skawina and Chorzów complied with the noise limits. German wind power plants were also confirmed to comply with the noise limits.

Water Protection

Czechia

mini

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.

The basic prerequisite for water protection is the implementation of preventive measures aimed at minimizing water consumption and eliminating the leakage of harmful substances into surface and groundwater, sewers, and the rock environment. The EMS regularly checks compliance with operational regulations and regular monitoring of the quality of discharged wastewater and groundwater at the sites concerned. Verification of emergency preparedness is ensured by emergency exercises.

In November 2021, an emergency leak of turbine oil into the Elbe River occurred at the Energotrans power plant due to a leak in the oil cooler. After the accident was reported, a burrow sorption wall was installed to capture the contamination at the outlet of the warm water channel, and additional walls were installed downstream. According to the subsequent investigation, approximately 3 liters of oil were released and, according to the available information, no fish or other animal deaths occurred during the accident.

In 2021, the conditions of the approval for the abstraction of surface water and groundwater as well as the conditions related to the discharge of wastewater and mine water were complied with. Reports on compliance with the conditions of integrated permits are regularly published through water authorities.

Biodiversity: Fauna Protection and Support

Czechia

CEZ Group has addressed 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 installed on the support structures of medium-voltage power lines. Most often, they are plastic sheaths that are placed over insulators. Another method for protecting birds is using crossarm constructions that prevent birds from perching on the line and subsequently connect the conductor through the bird's body to a grounded mast structure.

During 2021, 18,767 additional support points (poles) of medium-voltage power lines within the ČEZ Distribuce distribution grid were equipped with these technologies, for a total of 68% of the grid. In 2021, CZK 45 million was spent on bird protection. ČEZ Distribuce continues to actively participate in the working group for solving requirements for avian protection against accidents on power lines, which consists of representatives of the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, the Czech Agency for Nature and Landscape Protection, the Czech Ornithological Society, and distribution and transmission system operators. Within this group, draft methodological guidelines Ensuring the Avian Protection Against Impacts on Power Lines and Protection Storks on Medium- and Low-Voltage Power Line Poles were developed and are being prepared for publication. At the same time, a project is being prepared to secure the wires at very high, high, and medium voltage against bird strikes with the involvement of all members of the working group, including ČEZ Distribuce.

The suggestions of citizens, authorities, and environmental organizations related to the protection of birds on distribution grid installations are regularly addressed. There are dozens of cases per year, most often the problem of the existence of stork nests on the support points of low-voltage lines, which is solved by relocating the nest on the basis of an exemption granted by the nature protection authority or insulating bare wires in the vicinity of the nest. Moreover, the condition of stork nests located on the distribution grid equipment is actively monitored by ČEZ Distribuce.

At the initiative of the Agency for Nature and Landscape Protection (AOPK), the covering of the concrete poles was checked and repaired in order to protect the critically endangered little owl. These were poles potentially unsafe in areas recommended by the AOPK for their nesting.

Support for the nesting of the peregrine falcon both at the sites of most coal-fired power plants and heating plants as well as at nuclear power plants continued in 2021. A total of 10 pairs were recorded on the buildings owned by CEZ Group. Six of them were successful and produced a total of 19 chicks. Since the first falcon nest box in Czechia was installed at a cooling tower walkway at the Tušimice power plant in 2011, at least 114 chicks were taken out.

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 grayling 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 as early as in 2016, which, according to an entomologist, positively contributes to the protection of the butterfly population.

Mapping of bird species continued in Temelín. In cooperation with ornithologists from the University of South Bohemia, the local birds were ringed. Scientists were investigating which bird species occur in the locality during the autumn migration. In January 2022, during a birdwatch, the schoolchildren recorded a new species under the supervision of an ornithologist: the middle spotted woodpecker. According to the experts from the University of South Bohemia, the operation of the power plant does not have a negative impact on the bird population, no disturbing effects have been recorded. A butterfly meadow has also been maintained in the park for the fifth year.

Bee breeding continued in both Dukovany and Temelín. A total of 280kg of honey was bottled at both nuclear power plants. In Temelín, bees have been kept since 2018, while in Dukovany they started in 2021.

For a number of years, the premises of both nuclear power plants have also provided a home for dozens of brown hares. The animals are relocated to the wild once in a while in cooperation with hunters.

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.

Biodiversity: Land Restoration

One of the most important tasks for minimizing and eliminating the environmental impacts of mining is the restoration of the landscape and ecological stability of large areas after brown coal mining. The creation of a new landscape with the restoration of all basic functions of the reclaimed areas and their nonviolent integration into the surrounding landscape are the main and most important objectives of restoration works. The new areas created by mining activities are gradually and systematically integrated into the landscape below the Krušné hory. These works represent a long-term process that is technically and economically demanding. In 2021, CEZ Group completed landscape restoration on an area of 93 ha, of which 5 ha were agricultural, 53 ha forestry, 1 ha water, and 34 ha other. New land restoration was started on 44 ha, 34 ha of which were agricultural and 10 ha water restoration. In 2021, almost CZK 345 million was spent on the preparation and smoothing of previous mining activities, of which over CZK 173 million was spent on actual remediation and restoration. At the same time, the mining company Severočeské doly, where the decisive part of restoration takes place, continuously makes a reserve every year to cover the consequences of mining activities during and after mining. Individual restoration projects are processed in accordance with the Comprehensive Remediation and Restoration Plan. Local restored areas should fulfill ecological, landscape aesthetic, sports, recreational, and socio-economic functions.

As in previous years, technical and biological restoration of the areas affected by CEZ Group's operation of coal-fired facilities continued in 2021. A substantial part of the locality is represented by areas intended for the combination of forestry and landscape restoration. By constantly reducing the adverse effects of opencast mining and constantly planting new greenery in the Krušné hory, the landscape of northern Bohemia looks much better today and becomes a better place to live—the "Region with a Better View". More than 189,000 trees and 36,000 shrubs were planted by Severočeské doly as part of restoration in 2021, and the ČEZ Foundation contributed to the planting of another 3,300 trees under grant procedures.

Promoting Innovation

mini

Support for innovation naturally corresponds to the accelerated strategy VISION 2030—Clean Energy of Tomorrow.

In the area of commercial innovation, decarbonization plays an important role in B2B and B2C. An example of a successful implementation of a decarbonization project in the CEZ Group's product portfolio is the Emission-Free Electricity from a nuclear source, which was developed in a joint project between ČEZ and ČEZ ESCO.

ČEZ is involved in the Innovation Roadshow and People and Culture Roadshow platforms, which aim to connect professionals from companies across business areas and share know-how in implementing innovation and corporate culture. On the basis of the I2US cooperation platform, ČEZ shares information with innovative and non-competing utilities across Europe under the open innovation principle. Its main collaboration tool is sharing innovation opportunities and experience from the implementation of new services, products, business models, and methods for cooperation with partners.

Electric Mobility in Czechia

Charging Stations

The year 2021 brought a record in the installation of charging stations, with the threshold of 100 installed stations being significantly surpassed for the first time. This was despite the complications caused by the spread of COVID-19 and the shortage of selected components and materials, which resulted in a significant increase in delivery times for charging stations. As at December 31, 2021, CEZ Group operated 385 charging stations in Czechia, 302 of which were fast charging (DC) and 83 with normal charging (AC). The total installed capacity of the ČEZ public charging station network was almost 26,000 kW. High Power (HPC) DC charging stations are a new addition to the public charging station portfolio, of which a total of six were installed during the pilot operation. Five of the stations are located near the D1 motorway, and the sixth HPC station is installed at the ČEZ headquarters in Duhová Street in Prague, which will offer full charging power after it is supplemented with storage technology.

In line with ČEZ's strategy, several locations with a larger number of stands, the so-called charging hubs, have been put into operation, which are also designed to allow future power increases. These locations are mainly near shopping centers and on the D5 motorway. In total, ČEZ operates 17 sites with three or more stands.

CEZ Group also continues to replace outdated AC charging racks that are no longer suitable with new racks that meet the necessary standards of connectivity and communication with the IT system.

The construction of charging stations continues with the contribution of subsidy support, both from the European program CEF (Connecting Europe Facility) and from the Transport operational program. In the case of CEF, this is the second subsidy project under which 83 fast charging stations have already been installed. Its implementation has been extended until the end of 2022, when a sub-project of energy storage integrated with local generation from photovoltaic panels remains to be completed.

CEZ Group also continues to implement projects financed by the Transport operational program. It has been successful in a total of four calls—two for the so-called backbone network of charging stations and two for the supplementary network. The Driivz IT system is used for network management and customer service, and more than 7,500 registered customers are already using our services. In November 2021, CEZ Group's charging network was integrated into the Hubject international roaming platform, so the network meets the interoperability and roaming requirement of being easily accessible to customers of other charging providers.

In November 2021, ČEZ published a new recharging price list effective from January 1, 2022. The tariffs combining a flat-rate payment and a per kWh payment have been replaced by a single price list without a flat-rate commitment, which differentiates recharging prices according to the capacity of recharging stations.

ČEZ continues to support the operation of electric buses on a line between the BB Center (where ČEZ headquarters are located) and the Budějovická metro station in Prague, and the operation of another two electric public buses in Vrchlabí. CEZ Group also became a co-founding member of the newly established association (Elektromobilní platforma, z.s.), which aims to bring together entities from the energy and automotive sectors, and the research sector. The platform wants to support the development of cooperation in the field of electromobility and to be a partner of the government in the implementation of national goals in this area. Other members are ŠKODA AUTO, PRE, E.ON, and Czech Technical University in Prague.

Offers for Households and Sole Proprietors

Due to newly emerging partnerships with car manufacturers or individual local dealerships, ČEZ Prodej offers a comprehensive range of electric cars for households, but also for sole proprietors, according to their needs. Besides purchases of new electric vehicles, it prepares a home for an EV by checking the electrical system for sufficient robustness for home charging, installing a turnkey home charger (wall box), or assisting with a distribution tariff change or circuit breaker upgrade, and last but not least, professional advice on entering the world of electric mobility. In addition to electromobility, ČEZ Prodej is also focusing on other energy solutions and can therefore offer, for example, a home photovoltaic power plant with battery storage that can supply energy to an electric car, as well as to the entire household, even if there is a failure in the distribution grid.

Last but not least, ČEZ Prodej is active in the field of its own product development. The newly developed home charger "TENGEO wallbox", through perfect synergy with other products from the TENGEO range, is able to use the electricity generated by a photovoltaic power plant to recharge an electric car, making driving an electric car greener and more economical than ever before.

Offers for Large Customers

ČEZ ESCO continued to provide a comprehensive range of electromobility products for corporate customers and the public sector in 2021. The main focus of the electromobility offer for large customers is on comprehensive electric vehicle charging systems. These include charging stations, but also higher-level control systems, power management systems, and other components. There is a continued emphasis on the synergies for customers that electromobility brings in conjunction with products such as photovoltaic power plants, battery storage, green electricity, and others.

New charging stations or wallboxes (wall chargers) have been installed at public and municipal entities as well as private entities. Negotiations continue with major large and medium-sized enterprises on possible cooperation in the implementation of electromobility solutions in their fleets. The situation in 2021 has shown an increasing trend of interest in adopting electromobility in corporate fleets, especially for large companies with hundreds of vehicles in their corporate fleet. Especially in H2 2021, demand for solutions involving hundreds of charging stations was registered.

ČEZ ESCO also continues to actively and successfully offer solutions for the electrification of public transport, especially the provision of charging stations and charging for electric buses. In 2021, several projects in this area were implemented, such as the transition to fully electrified public transport by ČSAD AUTOBUSY České Budějovice in Písek. Several other projects have been launched and are being prepared for launch in 2022.

  • Orange Bike—one-minute charity rides on specially outfitted stationary bicycles to support local nonprofit organizations offered to visitors of cultural, social, and sports events.

Human Resources

Headcount Changes

mini

As at December 31, 2021, CEZ Group companies employed 28,043 people, which was a year-on-year decrease of 4,512 employees.

Workforce Headcount as at December 31, by Country

2020 2021
Czechia 22,565 22,729
Germany 3,598 3,862
Poland 877 873
Romania 1,993 125
Bulgaria 3,271 2
Other countries 251 452
Total 32,555 28,043

The year-on-year decrease in the workforce headcount in Romania and Bulgaria is due to the sale of generation, distribution, and sales assets during 2021, after which CEZ Group retained only ESCO service companies in both countries. The reason for the increase in Germany and Czechia lies in the completed acquisitions and partly in the expansion of existing work teams, while at the same time a decrease in the number of employees was recorded in the Severočeské doly group. In the case of the other countries (Israel, Italy), the increase was due to an increase in the number of employees from newly acquired companies.

Welfare Policy

Welfare policy at CEZ Group consists of a wide range of activities and benefits, both monetary and nonmonetary, provided to employees. Employees earn wages in accordance with CEZ Group's long-term financial performance and its position in the labor market.

CEZ Group companies in Czechia provide employees with a defined range of benefits such as a shortened 37.5-hour workweek, paid vacation extended to five weeks, eligibility to paid leave beyond the statutory scope, or an opportunity to use various types of flexible working hours, including telecommuting.

CEZ Group companies also provide an extra wide range of perquisites such as personal accounts intended primarily to cover costs of recreation and leisure-time activities; contributions to supplemental pension plans, life insurance, employee meal plans, and special bonuses for jubilees and on retirement. One-off social assistance may be provided in extraordinary cases.

Since 2020, employees can take two sick days with salary compensation at 65% of their average pay. All employees and their family members can use the online medical advice service and make appointments with doctors of various specialties free of charge. Employees can use a specially set up telephone line to address questions about the COVID-19 epidemic. Vaccination against COVID-19 is provided directly at selected workplaces, as well as testing beyond the scope of the legislation. Another health benefit is the provision of flu vaccinations. An above-standard health care program and preventive medical checks are available to employees working on shifts, aimed at preventing civilization diseases. In addition, Health Days are organized at workplaces, during which employees can undergo various examinations, health procedures, and lectures on healthy lifestyles (in 2021, due to the problematic COVID-19 situation, they were organized exclusively in the form of online lectures). Internal online lectures focused on mental and physical health are offered. An anonymous psychological hotline with external experts is available to employees to use when dealing with difficult life situations.

Care for preschool children is provided in kindergartens in selected localities and suburban camps are organized. Employees caring for sick parents or other family members can benefit from professional help in the form of counseling. 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

The union membership rate in larger companies in Czechia is approx. 33%. There were a total of 29 local labor organizations operating at ČEZ in 2021, organizing almost 1,500 employees. Selected major subsidiaries of CEZ Group in Czechia had 36 local labor organizations, organizing almost 3,000 of their employees. Of those 36 labor organizations, 30 are organized under four regional associations. The above 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. 5 to this collective agreement, in force for the period of 2017–2023, was concluded in 2021.

Regular meetings were held between the employer and labor union representatives in 2021 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. The regular meetings were, as in 2020, affected by the spread of COVID-19 in 2021, so some meetings were held remotely instead of the usual face-to-face meetings.

Collective bargaining in 2021 concerned amendments to all collective agreements in force. This mainly concerned wages, benefits, and the duration of collective agreements. In 2021, collective bargaining was concluded in ČEZ, a. s., with the signing of Amendments No. 21 and No. 22, which, among other things, extended the collective agreement of ČEZ, a. s., until the end of 2027 and modified the ESG area. In selected major subsidiaries, collective bargaining was also successfully concluded by concluding amendments to collective agreements. 13 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, 2025, with the option to extend their validity until March 31, 2026.

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 until 2024.

In Germany, collective agreements in effect at Elevion group companies are derived from a collective agreement made with members of the German Trade Union Confederation (DGB). They are made for a fixed term or for an indefinite period of time with a two-month cancellation period.

No collective agreement has been concluded in Austria, Italy, or France.

A European Works Council has been operating within CEZ Group since 2007. The number of its members was reduced by 3 employee representatives from Romania and 4 employee representatives from Bulgaria during 2021 due to the almost complete closure of CEZ Group's operations in these countries. As of the end of 2021, the European Works Council consisted of 21 representatives, of which 14 were from Czechia, 2 from Poland, 4 from Germany, and 1 from Slovakia. Two meetings took place in 2021, both of which were convened in remote form due to the prevailing epidemiological situation. The agenda of both meetings included topics related mainly to the CEZ Group's strategy, financial results, activities of CEZ Group in foreign markets, and the effect of COVID-19 on its activities in the countries where it is present.

COVID-19

mini

Measures Adopted in CEZ Group

During 2021, CEZ Group continued to implement centrally coordinated measures against the spread of COVID-19. In accordance with the national emergency measures, business trips, and personal contacts of employees with each other, suppliers, and customers were restricted in accordance with the actual situation at the time and place and to the extent appropriate to the nature of specific work activities. Personal meetings with the public in information centers were also limited to the extent necessary. Where possible, employees worked remotely from home.

CEZ Group companies' facilities were adequately equipped with disinfectants. In the event of employees contracting COVID-19, disinfection of the affected workplaces was ensured. Protective equipment (face masks, respirators, in justified cases also goggles, gloves, and disposable protective suits) was distributed to employees free of charge. Protective screens were set up at selected workplaces (customer care centers, employee canteens, etc.).

At key elements of the critical infrastructure of the state (nuclear and the most important conventional power plants, generation and distribution control rooms, etc.), preventive noncontact measurement of the body temperature of persons entering was carried out. The priority of the measures taken was to protect the health of employees, but also to limit the economic impact and ensure a safe and reliable supply of electricity at all times. In the area of distribution, planned interruptions of electricity supply were limited. Shift schedules were adjusted at all power plants in Czechia so that shifts did not meet one another. Nuclear power plant operators were separated from other employees. Employees of the ČEZ technical control room in Prague were divided into separate workplaces. In case of need, an isolated dispatching workplace was prepared in the first phase in the data center in Tušimice and a new backup dispatching workplace was built in Beroun during 2021.

In accordance with an emergency measure of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic, mandatory testing of employees entering the workplace was carried out. In addition to one-off antigen tests for self-testing, testing centers provided by a contracted medical service provider were established at ČEZ nuclear power plants. Through the medical service provider, testing of employees was also provided in other key operations such as control rooms and other elements of the critical infrastructure of the state. Full-scale mandatory testing was terminated on June 30, 2021, when the emergency measure of the ministry of health expired. However, even after this date, testing of employees continued in selected establishments and workplaces on a voluntary basis or where required by national emergency measures, i.e., for employees who had not been vaccinated or for whom a specified period of time had elapsed since contracting COVID-19. From January 5 to February 23, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer of ČEZ ordered, as a precautionary measure, mandatory telecommuting (home office) for all employees for whom the nature of their work permitted it.

Vaccination

From the beginning of 2021, representatives of CEZ Group companies intensively discussed priority vaccination against COVID-19 for selected groups of employees of companies included in the Czech critical infrastructure entities. The most important group—the so-called particularly critical employees—included 399 persons. The group of critical employees included a total of 5,092 persons. The vaccination of these groups of employees started on April 9, 2021. At the end of the year, the vaccination coverage of particularly critical employees was almost 89% and that of critical employees was 80%.

At the moment when the government made vaccination available to working-age Czech citizens, the communication of anti-epidemic measures in CEZ Group focused mainly on informing employees about vaccination so that they could make informed decision about vaccine application. In addition, there were various activities to promote vaccination. For example, the "Orange Needle" event was very effective. Under this activity, vaccination campaigns were organized in power plants, mines, and other workplaces in cooperation with a contracted medical service provider. By the end of 2021, 78% of the total number of approximately 23,000 employees of Czech CEZ Group companies had been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Use of Government Support and Contribution

During 2021, CEZ Group companies in Czechia used the government-approved Antivirus program to protect jobs. The companies used the program's Mode A, compensating employers for expenses on employees in compulsory quarantine or isolation. ČEZ, a. s., received a total of CZK 0.9 million for the period of January to December 2021.

The possibility of receiving contributions under the Program to Support the Self-Sampling Tests for COVID-19 in connection with the emergency measures issued by the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic was also used. Companies took advantage of this program, which reimbursed employers for the cost of employees performing antigen self-tests. ČEZ, a. s., received a total of CZK 1.1 million for the entire year 2021.

Impact of COVID-19 on Financial Performance

The existence of no CEZ Group company is threatened by the COVID-19 spread and, in general, the impact of the pandemic on CEZ Group is relatively limited and mainly indirect. However, it is difficult to estimate the long-term impact on CEZ Group, given the uncertainty of the extent to which the pandemic itself and government countermeasures will affect economic growth, unemployment, and debt growth in the relevant European countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly had and is having a direct impact on the wholesale market for electricity and other commodities in terms of a partial slowdown in economic growth. More significantly than COVID-19, however, other macroeconomic and regulatory factors, including a substantial intensification of the EU's climate change and decarbonization ambitions, are affecting the current electricity and natural gas markets, rendering any quantification of the actual impact of COVID-19 on market prices and on CEZ Group as a whole realistically impossible. However, COVID-19 and the subsequent state measures have not yet caused CEZ Group any direct losses or significant extra expenses (we estimate the expenses for the implementation of the anti-COVID measures at CZK tens of millions, especially for the provision of protective equipment and disinfectants and the increase in cleaning work). The pandemic has caused a deceleration of acquisition and organic growth of the SALES segment companies and generally caused a deceleration or time lag of investments in all other segments, especially in 2020. The impact of COVID-19 in the coming years will depend mainly on the measures taken in individual countries and their projection into the overall development and structural changes of the economy in Europe.

ČEZ, a. s. (hereinafter referred to as ČEZ)

    1. Minority shareholders carry on a lawsuit against ČEZ 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. ČEZ 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 proceedings are pending before the Supreme Administrative Court following a cassation appeal lodged by the Appellate Financial Directorate. (However, the Appellate Financial Directorate annulled the decision imposing the fine on the basis of the legal opinion of the court of first instance.) The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ carries on a lawsuit against ŠKODA JS a.s. based on an action filed in 2016. 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 the court of first instance. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. In the insolvency proceedings against TENZA, a.s., ČEZ filed claims in the total amount of over CZK 1,327 million in March 2021 and subsequently claims in the total amount of almost CZK 203 million were filed in April 2021. The vast majority of the claims were made for contractual penalties and damages, as well as for related costs associated with the breach of work contracts for the construction of the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant (TPP) thermal feeder and the reconstruction of the TPP unit heat exchanger station. TENZA, a.s., breached its contractual obligation to complete the work and hand it over in a proper and timely manner. Most of the claims in both applications were denied by the insolvency administrator and the debtor as to their authenticity and, to a limited extent, as to their amount. For this reason, ČEZ filed a total of 6 injunctive claims in June 2021. As a result of the filed lawsuits, incidences are pending and negotiations are currently underway between ČEZ, the insolvency administrator of TENZA, a.s., and its subcontractors to conclude a settlement agreement and resolve all mutual claims. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.

ČEZ Distribuce, a. s. (hereinafter referred to as ČEZ Distribuce)

  1. SPR a.s. carries on a lawsuit against ČEZ Distribuce based on an action filed in May 2013, seeking payment of CZK 213 million plus interest and costs. The matter in dispute is the existence of loss alleged by the plaintiff, which was allegedly incurred due to a breach of obligations by ČEZ Distribuce in relation to the connection of the Dubí photovoltaic power plant to the distribution grid. The case is heard at first instance, currently resumed after a stay based on the court's May 2020 decision. The proceedings are currently in the evidence phase. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

    1. Four electricity generators/local distribution system operators carry on significant lawsuits against ČEZ Distribuce based on actions filed in 2015, 2016, and 2017. The matter in dispute is a claim for recovery of unjust enrichment consisting in the electricity distribution price component to cover costs associated with renewable electricity support that was allegedly incorrectly billed but duly paid by the plaintiffs in relation to their internal electricity consumption from January 1, 2013, to October 1, 2013. The total payment claimed from ČEZ Distribuce exceeds CZK 1 billion plus interest and costs. Following a special panel's decision on conflict of jurisdiction, court proceedings in all of the lawsuits were discontinued in 2019 and the matter was referred to the Energy Regulatory Office. The Energy Regulatory Office has already made a final decision on the rejection of the claim for unjust enrichment in three of the four cases, and the claimants have filed actions under Part V of the Civil Procedure Code. In one case, the matter is pending before the Energy Regulatory Office. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ Distribuce carries on three lawsuits against OTE, a.s., based on actions brought in 2016 and 2017, seeking recovery of unjust enrichment from OTE amounting to approximately CZK 7.6 billion plus interest and costs, consisting in the electricity distribution price component to cover costs associated with renewable electricity support being incorrectly billed but duly paid by ČEZ Distribuce from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2013. Following a special panel's decision on conflict of jurisdiction, court proceedings in the case of two of the lawsuits were discontinued in 2019 and the matter was referred to the Energy Regulatory Office. The third dispute was referred to the Energy Regulatory Office for the same reasons in 2020. The Energy Regulatory Office dismissed the claim of ČEZ Distribuce in the first dispute concerning CZK 1.86 billion. An appeal was filed against the decision, followed by an action under Part V of the Civil Procedure Code. The other two cases were consolidated into one proceeding and the application was dismissed. A remonstrance against the decision has been filed. The other disputes are still pending. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ Distribuce carries on a lawsuit against ŠKO-ENERGO, s.r.o., based on an action brought in 2016, seeking payment in excess of CZK 113 million plus interest and costs from ŠKO-ENERGO. The matter in dispute is additional payment of the electricity distribution price component to cover costs associated with electricity support for the period from April 1, 2013, to October 1, 2013. The Energy Regulatory Office dismissed the claim of ČEZ Distribuce in the first instance. Based on a remonstrance filed by ČEZ Distribuce, the first-instance decision was reversed by the ERO Board in January 2020 and the matter was remanded to the first instance. The Energy Regulatory Office decided to dismiss the claim of ČEZ Distribuce in May 2020. A remonstrance was filed against the decision, followed by an action under Part V of the Civil Procedure Code which the court rejected. ČEZ Distribuce is preparing an appeal. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ Distribuce carries on a lawsuit against Liberty Ostrava a.s. (formerly ArcelorMittal Ostrava a.s.), based on an action brought in 2019, seeking payment of approximately CZK 225 million plus interest and costs. The matter in dispute is unreceived payments for system services for the period from February 2016 to November 2018 that ČEZ Distribuce invoiced ArcelorMittal Ostrava a.s. (i.e., the SYS II action). The case is heard at first instance and has been stayed. The dispute outcome depends on the decision in another proceeding for January 2016 (i.e., the SYS I action), which has already been finally terminated in favor of ČEZ Distribuce. However, Liberty Ostrava a.s. has filed an appeal against the decision. In November 2021, a lawsuit was filed against Liberty Ostrava a.s. for approximately CZK 132 million in the same case due to the fear of the impending statute of limitations. The subject matter of the newly initiated litigation is payments for system services for December 2018 to June 2021 (i.e., the SYS III action). The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.
    1. In an insolvency proceeding against Česká energie, a.s., ČEZ Distribuce submitted an unsecured claim for approximately CZK 138 million plus interest and costs arising from failure to pay for distribution system services under a contract. The insolvency proceeding commenced in December 2016 and is still pending. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ Distribuce filed an insolvency petition combined with a bankruptcy petition against SCP first payment of receivables s.r.o. (formerly ENWOX ENERGY s.r.o.) in December 2017, submitting its matured unsecured claim for approximately CZK 115 million plus interest and costs in the proceeding. The claim arose from failure to pay for distribution system services under a contract. The insolvency proceeding is pending. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. In an insolvency proceeding against One Energy & One Mobile a.s., ČEZ Distribuce submitted an unsecured claim for approximately CZK 154 million plus interest and costs arising from failure to pay for distribution system services under a contract. The insolvency proceeding commenced in 2018 and is still pending. A decision to permit a partial schedule to distribute the recovered fulfillment in the amount of approx. CZK 97 million was issued in October 2020 and the creditor, ČEZ Distribuce was satisfied with the proportional amount exceeding CZK 49 million. This recovered fulfillment was repaid to ČEZ Distribuce in late November 2020. In addition, a resolution approving the final report was published in July 2021, after which the final amount of the recovered performance of almost CZK 12 million was paid to ČEZ Distribuce. The claim was thus satisfied to the extent of approx. 52%. The insolvency proceedings were terminated in November 2021 by the order of annulment of the bankruptcy after the execution of the distribution order.

ČEZ Prodej, a.s. (hereinafter referred to as ČEZ Prodej)

    1. ČEZ Prodej carries on a lawsuit against state organization Správa železnic (SŽ, formerly SŽDC) 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 SŽ, 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 SŽ, the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic overturned the rulings of the courts of first and second instance and remanded 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 withdrew the action before it was served the judgment of the court of second instance. The judgment of the court of appeal 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 filed an appeal and a constitutional complaint, on which the Constitutional Court ruled in August 2020 and annulled the decision of the court of appeal on the ineffectiveness of the withdrawal. In October 2020, the municipal court decided on ineffectiveness of withdrawal of the action again. In May 2021, the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic upheld the appeal, overturned the judgments of both courts of first instance and returned the case to the court of first instance for further proceedings. A hearing in the case is scheduled for March 2022. In addition, SŽ, which had paid the amount claimed, brought an action against ČEZ Prodej, 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. After the decision became final, ČEZ Prodej paid the defendant the amount including the accessories and filed an appeal in the case. The Supreme Court of the Czech Republic decided to annul the judgment of the court of appeal and remanded the case back for further proceedings. SŽ was ordered to repay the amount paid. In August 2021, out of caution, ČEZ Prodej filed an action for a retrial. The proceedings in that action are suspended. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ Prodej carries on a lawsuit against SŽ 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 SŽ, consisting in failure to take deliveries of an agreed amount of electricity in 2011, and the resulting loss. At a hearing in January 2022, the court of first instance, after the court of appeal reversed the decision of the court of first instance, granted the application in its entirety. The decision has not yet been delivered to ČEZ Prodej and it can be expected that SŽ will appeal. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ Prodej carries on a lawsuit against OTE, a.s., based on an action brought in 2016, 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 as a mandatory purchaser. The court of first instance dismissed the action. The appellate court upheld the ruling of the court of first instance. ČEZ Prodej filed an appeal against the decision of the court of appeal, which was rejected by the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic in August 2021. ČEZ Prodej filed a constitutional complaint against the decision of the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic, which has not yet been decided.
    1. ČEZ Prodej 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. In May 2021, ČEZ Prodej received a resolution to discontinue the proceedings and refer the case to the Energy Regulatory Office. ČEZ Prodej filed an appeal against the order, which the court of appeal upheld. The court of first instance subsequently satisfied the action brought by ČEZ Prodej by judgment of November 2021. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. ČEZ Prodej 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 by OTE, a.s. The court of first instance discontinued the proceedings in all three cases and referred the cases to the Energy Regulatory Office for further proceedings. Additionally, the appellate court also overturned a judgment of the court of first instance dismissing the action in the case of one of the producers. In all cases, the Energy Regulatory Office issued a decision according to which the producers are obliged to pay the due amount with accessories. The Board of the Energy Regulatory Office rejected the remonstrances of the producers and confirmed the first-instance decision. In two cases, the producers brought an action under Part V of the Civil Procedure Code. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.
    1. OTE, a.s., carries on a lawsuit against ČEZ Prodej, 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, which purchases electricity from photovoltaic generators on a compulsory basis. The difference was incurred between January 1, 2013, and April 30, 2018. The court of first instance issued a ruling discontinuing the action and referring the case to the Energy Regulatory Office. The Energy Regulatory Office decided to reject the motion of OTE, a.s. OTE, a.s., appealed against the ruling dismissing its motion. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. OTE, a.s., carries on two administrative proceedings before the Energy Regulatory Office against ČEZ Prodej, 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 as a mandatory purchaser in the period from January 1, 2013, to May 31, 2018. The Energy Regulatory Office decided to reject the motions of OTE, a.s. Afterwards, OTE, a.s., appealed against the rulings dismissing its motions. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.
    1. Three producers of photovoltaic electricity commenced three administration proceedings in December 2020 against ČEZ Prodej seeking a payment of the sum of approx. CZK 475 million plus accessories. According to the producers, the claimed amount represents a outstanding financial aid having the form of purchase prices applicable to generation facilities commissioned in 2010 (or of the difference between 2010 and 2011) for electricity produced in the period from May 1, 2018, or June 1, 2018, to November 30, 2020. For the period from May 1, 2018, to February 28, 2019, the producers claim only the difference between purchase prices applicable to generating facilities commissioned in 2010 and 2011; for the period from March 1, 2019, to November 30, 2020, the producers claim purchase prices applicable to generating facilities commissioned in 2010 in full. Three separate administration proceedings are related to these proceedings, where the same producers claim the financial aid totaling to CZK 69.5 million plus accessories. According to the producers, the amount claimed in these proceedings represents an outstanding financial aid having the form of purchase prices applicable to generation facilities commissioned in 2011 for electricity produced in the period from May 1, 2018, or June 1, 2018, to February 28, 2019. In all proceedings, the producers' application was rejected and remonstrances were lodged against the rejection decisions. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.

Germany

    1. CEZ Erneuerbare Energien Beteiligungs II GmbH, together with CEZ MH B.V. and other interested parties within CEZ Group, pursue claims against a group of accused persons (and related companies), who are subject to a criminal proceedings on the basis of a suspicion that these accused persons, acting as an organized group, committed fraud, forged documents, and committed bribery in relation to sale of wind farm projects to institutional and other investors across Europe (the so-called Holt Holding case). The total claimed sum amounts to EUR 5.68 million (approx. CZK 149 million) without accessories. More than EUR 1 million (more than CZK 26 million) was recovered in 2020. As part of the criminal proceedings, all the offenders have been caught; the two main perpetrators have been kept in custody. The main trial against the perpetrators is currently underway. At the same time, several bankruptcy proceedings have been filed against the assets of the perpetrators and the affected CEZ Group companies have filed their claims in these proceedings. The outcomes of the proceedings are impossible to predict.
    1. In December 2020, GMH Gebäudemanagement Hamburg GmbH (subsidiary of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg) filed an action against Kofler Energies Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH (a member of CEZ Group). The action requires an issuance of a preliminary judgment that will decide on the basis of the case only, specifically determining the justification of liability of the defendant for damage caused in the supply of design work in construction of buildings of University of Hamburg in 2013–2017 (i.e., before the acquisition of the defendant by CEZ Group). Although there is no specific amount specified in the action yet, it is clear that the dispute is significant. If the claimant succeeds to the extent that the awarded amount shall not be covered by defendant's liability insurance, the amount shall be claimed by CEZ Group against the sellers, as it is stipulated in the transaction documentation on the basis of which the defendant became a member of CEZ Group. Kofler Energies Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH has filed a statement of defense and it can be expected that a reply to this statement will be submitted by the applicant in September 2022. In the meantime, the applicant has extended the action to other parties involved in the planning of the buildings of the University of Hamburg. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
  • CEZ ESCO II GmbH (a member of CEZ Group), as buyer, claims damages against Kofler Energies AG (now KO Energies GmbH) and its two guarantors as sellers in a lawsuit filed in July 2020. The claims are asserted on the basis of the SPA (acquisition of shares in Kofler Energies Ingenieurgesellschaft) in the total amount of approx. EUR 4.48 million (approx. CZK 113.8 million). Following the termination of the SPA in July 2018, certain projects of Kofler Energies Ingenieurgesellschaft turned out to incur losses. However, the buyer was not properly informed of their losses when negotiating the SPA. Along with the application, expert reports were submitted to the court to assess the loss-incurring projects. According to CEZ ESCO II GmbH, the defendants have the necessary means to pay the compensation. The settlement hearing, including the (first) oral hearing, took place in December 2021. At that hearing, after discussing the facts and the law, the court invited the parties to consider conciliation on the grounds that, given the complexity of the evidence, the court proceedings could be expected to last several years. Counsel for CEZ ESCO II GmbH stated that the proposed settlement must first be discussed with the decision-makers in CEZ Group. The next oral hearing date has been set for October 2022. CEZ Group is currently discussing internally the possibility of reaching a settlement. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

    1. In 2009, Agrowind Kończewo sp. z o.o. (AWK) filed an action against seven companies jointly and severally, one of which is Eco-Wind Construction S.A. (CEZ Group member), seeking compensation of PLN 22.7 million (approx. CZK 122 million) plus interest in compensation because the companies frustrated the installation of wind turbines and transformer stations 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 (approx. CZK 600 million) plus interest. 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. In June 2019, the court of first instance issued a negative decision, against which AWK appealed. The appeal filed was dismissed by the court of appeal in June 2021, thereby upholding the decision of the court of first instance. AWK filed a cassation appeal with the Supreme Court against the rejection decision. At the same time, the bankruptcy proceedings against Eco-Wind Construction S.A. were terminated and the court will have to decide how to proceed with the proceedings against this company. The further course of the proceedings is likely to depend on the outcome of the cassation appeal. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.
    1. In November 2021, CEZ Skawina S.A. (a CEZ Group member) filed a lawsuit against the Polish state—the Minister of Climate and Environment (Skarb Państwa—Minister Klimatu i Środowiska), the subject of which is a demand for payment of approx. PLN 46.8 million (approx. CZK 252 million), or other compensation, on the grounds of compensating for the non-issuance of a total of 176,197t of greenhouse gas emission allowances which CEZ Skawina S.A. should have received as a result of the investment task included in the National Investment Plan. CEZ Skawina S.A.'s entitlement to free emission allowances is based on Polish national law. However, as a result of the alleged inconsistency of Polish national law with Directive 2003/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of October 13, 2003, establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community and amending Council Directive 96/61/EC (EU ETS Directive), the Minister for Climate and Environment refused to issue the emission allowances, referring to the relevant opinion of the European Commission. CEZ Skawina S.A. brought an action for compensation due to the non-issuance of emission allowances for the liability of a member state for a breach of EU law. The case is currently pending before the court of first instance. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

Turkey

    1. From 2011 to 2015, Sakarya Elektrik Dagitim A.S. (SEDAS) 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 expenses that were automatically recognized in tariffs. However, in all but one case, SEDAS's claims were rejected. Given that the operating expenses of SEDAS are no longer based on the EPDK calculations, these disputes are no longer material.
    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 SEDAS, 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. Due to the fact that the constitutionality of the new legislation was approved by the Constitutional Court, the existing disputes were decided in favor of SEDAS.
    1. In March and May 2016, SEDAS brought three administrative actions against EPDK's decisions regulating the limits of SEDAS's revenue from electricity distribution in the regulatory period of 2016–2020, including the method of calculation and application. However, in all but one case, SEDAS's claims were rejected. Given that the operating expenses of SEDAS are no longer based on the EPDK calculations, these disputes are no longer material.

Italy

  1. Energyka Elettrosystem S.r.l. claims in a lawsuit dated May 2020 against Belectric Italia S.r.l. (a CEZ Group member) for the remuneration from the contract for mediating the investment opportunity concluded between Energyka Elettrosystem S.r.l. and Belectric Italia S.r.l. in 2016, in the amount of approximately EUR 11.1 million (approx. CZK 270 million). The subject of this agreement was in particular the commitment to broker investment opportunities by Energyka Elettrosystem S.r.l. in the field of photovoltaic projects in Italy. Belectric Italia S.r.l. was acquired by CEZ ESCO II GmbH (a member of the CEZ Group) in December 2021. CEZ ESCO II GmbH has a full indemnity undertaking from the seller in respect of the above dispute. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

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., due from OTE, a.s., as support paid for the green bonus, totaling almost CZK 1,063 million as of December 31, 2021; 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 the funds.
    1. Attachment of funds on a bank account of ČEZ in the amount of approximately CZK 223 million as of December 31, 2021; ČEZ cannot dispose of the 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 defendants are not employees of CEZ Group companies. ČEZ Obnovitelné zdroje, s.r.o., and ČEZ are injured parties in the case. An acquittal in the criminal proceedings was issued in September 2020. On the appeal filed by the public prosecutor, the court of appeal ruled in May 2021 that the acquittal was set aside and the case was returned to the court of first instance for a new hearing and decision. In November 2021, the court of first instance again handed down a judgment of acquittal; the prosecutor retained a time limit for filing an appeal after receiving a written copy of the judgment. Although ČEZ Obnovitelné zdroje, s.r.o., has requested the release of the seized funds, their seizure continues. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

Bulgaria

In July 2016, ČEZ formally filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Center 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. The claim amounts to hundreds of millions of EUR. The first matter addressed was an objection to jurisdiction, that is, the competence of the arbitration tribunal to decide the dispute. Following an exchange of written pleadings, a hearing on jurisdiction was held on June 8—9, 2020. The arbitration tribunal subsequently issued an award on jurisdiction on March 2, 2021, in which it rejected the jurisdictional objection of the Republic of Bulgaria. The arbitration proceedings thus moved to the next phase, in which the merits of the dispute will be examined on the basis of the arguments and documents submitted by both parties. The place of arbitration is Washington, D.C., USA, in accordance with the rules of the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes. On July 3, 2021, ČEZ filed its first Memorial on Merits in the arbitration, containing a factual description of the facts of the case, a detailed legal argumentation, and a quantification of the claim. The Republic of Bulgaria filed its Counter-Memorial to the submission of ČEZ according to the current arbitration schedule on February 1, 2022. ČEZ has this submission in its possession. The outcome of the proceeding is impossible to predict.

Developments in Sectoral Regulation and Legislation

The business environment in which CEZ Group operates is significantly impacted by regulation and legislation at the level of the European Union as well as that of individual countries of our presence. The present chapter is not a list of all relevant changes in this field. It only highlights the major events, documents, and acts at the European and Czech national levels.

European Union

Climate Law and the Fit for 55 Package

The European Commission published a proposal for a "climate law" on March 4, 2020. The law has the form of a regulation and sets a legal framework for achieving the EU's carbon neutrality in 2050. After more than a year of negotiations in the Council of the EU and the European Parliament, a political agreement was reached in April 2021 and the bill of climate law was approved. On the basis of this agreement, the EU is strengthening its target to reduce emissions to 55% by 2030 (compared to the previously applicable 40%). The agreement also maintains the EU level climate neutrality target by 2050, which may be considered a victory for member states as the European Parliament had called for national level targets.

The climate law is directly linked to the Fit for 55 package of legislative measures, the first part of which was published by the European Commission (EC) on July 14, 2021. The aim of the package is to set the legislative conditions for achieving the enhanced mitigation ambition by 2030 (a reduction of net greenhouse gas emissions, i.e., emissions net of removals, by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990).

The package includes:

  • A review of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), including maritime, aviation, and the continued exclusion of interstate flights within the European Economic Area from the CORSIA emissions offsetting scheme, and a proposal for an ETS as an own-source
  • The Carbon-Based Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the proposal for a CBAM as an own-source
  • Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR)
  • Revision of the Energy Taxation Directive
  • Amendment of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED)
  • Amendment of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EED)
  • Revision of the Regulation on the inclusion of greenhouse gas emissions and removals from land use, land-use change, and forestry (LULUCF)
  • Proposal for a Regulation on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure (AFIR)
  • Revision of the Regulation setting CO2 performance standards for new passenger cars and new light commercial vehicles
  • A proposal for a new social climate fund.

On December 15, 2021, the remaining initiatives, which are considered as the second part of the Fit for 55 package, were published:

  • Methane emission reductions in the energy sector
  • Revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)
  • Revision of the Third Energy Package for gas (Directive 2009/73/EU and Regulation 715/2009/EU) to regulate competitive markets for decarbonized gas, including legislative rules for the development of the hydrogen economy in the EU.

The content of the Fit for 55 package is currently being discussed by the European Parliament and the EU Council. Among the submitted legislative initiatives, the following proposals are of major importance for CEZ Group:

Revision of the Emissions Trading Scheme

The proposal for a revised EU ETS Directive (2003/87/EC) mainly increases the 2030 emission reduction target for EU ETS sectors, including energy, from 43% (compared to 2005) to 61% for 2030. The Linear Reduction Factor (LRF) is increased from 2.2% per year to 4.2% in the draft revision of the Directive, while a one-off reduction of 117 million allowances (rebasing) is also considered. In addition to adjustments to the rules for operating the Market Stability Reserve (MSR), where it is planned to maintain the 24% allowance retirement ratio, the European Commission proposes to reallocate all allowance revenues for climate, energy, or social purposes. A major innovation is the creation of a parallel ETS for the transport and buildings sectors from 2025, with the aim of reducing their emissions by 43% by 2030 compared to 2005. The proceeds of 25% of the auctioning of allowances for both sectors are to flow to a newly established social climate fund aimed at supporting socially vulnerable consumer groups.

Revision of the Energy Taxation Directive

A separate part of the Fit for 55 package is the long-awaited revision of the Directive on the taxation of energy products and electricity (2003/96/EC), which is the only legislative initiative on the table that requires unanimous approval by all member states. The main change in this Directive is to modify the tax base, i.e., taxation based on the energy content and environmental impact of energy products. The principle is that electricity should be the least taxed of all energy and energy products.

Amendment of the Renewable Energy Directive

Strengthening the 2030 targets will also require modifications to the new Renewable Energy Directive. Its main change will be to increase the share of RES in the EU's final energy consumption from 32% to at least 40% by 2030. The Directive also introduces new sub-targets, in particular for the industrial and buildings sectors, with the industrial sector aiming for a 50% share of renewable hydrogen by 2030 and the buildings sector aiming for a 49% share of renewable energy in their final consumption. Higher ambitions are also proposed for the heating and cooling and transport sectors.

Amendment of the Energy Efficiency Directive

An integral part of the Fit for 55 package is the amendment of the Energy Efficiency Directive (2018/2000/EU). In particular, the proposal brings a large increase in savings targets to almost double, in a situation where a significant number of member states are unlikely to be able to show even the planned savings by 2020. Specifically, this includes an increase in ambition for efficiency targets at EU level, where the member states should collectively achieve a binding 9% reduction in energy consumption in 2030 compared to the 2020 reference scenario projections, and new annual savings in final energy consumption, which the European Commission proposes to almost double to 1.5% from 2024.

Proposal for the Regulation on the Deployment of Alternative Fuels Infrastructure

Another part is the proposal for the Regulation on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure, which is intended to replace the original Directive. The proposal sets high ambitions and above all binding targets for the deployment of alternative fuel infrastructure. However, some of the targets are grossly overestimated in the context of Czechia and will expose business operators to inadequate and, above all, irreversible expenses. While in the case of light commercial vehicles, CEZ Group is ready to contribute its share to the fulfillment of the set commitment within Czechia, in the case of heavy vehicle infrastructure, the set targets appear to be premature and not in line with the market development.

Revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD)

In December 2021, the European Commission proposed to align building energy performance rules with the European Green Deal and decarbonize the EU building stock by 2050. To this end, the Commission proposes that all new buildings should be zero-emission from 2030, with all new public buildings required to meet this requirement from 2027. This means that buildings must be low-emission and, where possible, powered by renewable electricity, emit no carbon from fossil fuels, and state their global warming potential on their energy performance certificate based on their full life cycle emissions. In terms of renovation, new minimum energy performance standards are proposed at EU level, requiring 15% of the stock of the worst performing buildings to be upgraded from EPC (Energy performance certificate) class G to at least class F—for non-residential buildings by 2027 and for residential buildings by 2030. The obligation to hold an energy performance certificate is extended to buildings undergoing major refurbishment, buildings where the lease is renewed, and all public buildings. Buildings or building units offered for sale or lease must also have an EPC and all advertisements will also be required to state the energy performance class. By 2025, all certificates must be based on a harmonized scale from A to G. National building renovation plans will be fully integrated into national energy and climate plans. These plans will need to include plans for phasing out fossil fuels from heating and cooling by 2040 at the latest, together with a pathway to convert the national building stock to zero-emission buildings by 2050.

Gas Package

mini

One of the main objectives for both the pieces of legislation (the revision of Directive 2009/73/EU and Regulation 715/2009/EU) is to create a market for hydrogen and enable the development of dedicated infrastructure, including for trade with third countries. The construction of the future hydrogen network can be supported for a limited period of time by revenues from the gas transmission and distribution grids, subject to regulatory approval. However, natural gas and hydrogen grid operators must be separated by 2030. Hydrogen generation and supply activities must be separated from transit activities. A new governance structure in the form of the European Network of Network Operators for Hydrogen (ENNOH) will be created to support dedicated hydrogen infrastructure, cross-border coordination, and the construction of interconnection networks, and to develop specific technical rules.

Renewable and low-carbon gases, defined as gases with emissions 70% lower than comparable fossil fuels, will have a specific certification system and, in an effort to increase their use, will be exempted from cross-border transit tariffs and will be allowed a 75% deduction of the input costs of these gases entering the system.

To ensure security of supply, countries will be required to include gas storage in their mandatory regional risk assessments and plans and may participate in voluntary joint purchases of emergency stocks. To create more space for cleaner gases in the European gas market, the European Commission proposes that long-term fossil gas contracts should not be extended beyond 2049.

The package also seeks to respond to the energy price increase of recent months by strengthening automatic cross-border solidarity through new, pre-determined measures and clarifying controls, and compensation within the internal energy market. Another priority of the package is consumer empowerment and protection. Reflecting the provisions already in place in the electricity market, consumers can more easily switch suppliers, use effective price comparison tools, get accurate, fair and transparent billing information, and have better access to data and new smart technologies. Consumers should be able to choose renewable and low-carbon gases over fossil fuels.

Revision of the TEN-E Regulation

In December 2020, the European Commission published a proposal to revise the TEN-E Regulation, which sets out the rules under which individual technologies and projects can qualify for European co-financing for so-called Projects of Common Interest (PCIs). The draft revision includes, among other things, an obligation for all projects to meet mandatory sustainability criteria and to respect the Do No Harm principle of the European Green Deal. Among other things, the proposal also ends support for oil and gas infrastructure—however, on the other hand, support for carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects is proposed. There is a strong emphasis on support for offshore electricity grid projects (offshore electricity grids and interconnection of offshore sites) with provisions to facilitate more integrated planning and implementation of offshore renewable energy projects. It also proposes a new focus on hydrogen infrastructure, including transport and certain types of electrolyzers. The proposed support for the deployment of smart grids to facilitate rapid electrification and expand renewable electricity generation is of great importance. Support for projects between European Union and non-EU countries is also a novelty.

The proposal is currently under discussion within the EU institutions. A common position was reached in the EU Council on June 14 and the European Parliament's position was approved in the October plenary session. Inter-institutional negotiations (trialog) were launched on October 14.

Other Selected European Union Regulations

Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of February 12, 2021, establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility was published on February 18, 2021. The facility aims to support member states in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic through direct grants in a total of six pillars, of which support for green transformation is central to the electricity sector.

On April 15, Guidelines on certain state aid measures in the context of the post-2021 greenhouse gas emission allowance trading scheme were published in the Official Journal of the EU, covering two areas linked to the EU ETS, namely support to compensate for the increase in electricity prices due to the inclusion of the costs of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the EU ETS and support linked to the optional transitional allocation of free allowances for the modernization of the energy sector.

The Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2003 of August 6, 2021, supplementing Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council by establishing a Union Renewable Development Platfom was published in the EU Official Journal on November 17. This implementing Regulation was issued to provide for more detailed rules on statistical accounting of RES targets among the individual member states and to facilitate the achievement of the overall RES target in the EU.

On December 9, Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 of June 4, 2021, supplementing Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the establishment of technical screening criteria for determining under which conditions an economic activity qualifies as a significant contribution to climate change mitigation or climate change adaptation and whether that economic activity significantly undermines any of the other environmental objectives was published. Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/2326 of November 30, 2021, published on December 30, 2021, laying down conclusions on Best Available Techniques (BAT) under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council for large combustion plants—notified under C(2021)8580—responds to the General Court's decision in case T-699/17, which annulled the original Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1442, and ordered the European Commission

Regulation of the Wholesale Market for Electricity, Natural Gas, and Commodity Derivatives

to issue a new Implementing Decision within 12 months.

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 www.eex-transparency.com/power/cz/production/capacity. The disclosure concerns all CEZ Group facilities in Czechia. Information on resources belonging to CEZ Group in Poland is centrally available at http://gpi.tge.pl/en/zestawienie-ubytkow. In compliance with REMIT, CEZ Group has also been notifying of bilateral transactions entered into outside organized markets since April 2016 (n.b.: transactions made 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 (hereinafter referred to as the 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 through Act No. 256/2004 Sb., on Capital Market Business. From this date and then in Q1 of each subsequent year, ČEZ, a. s., carries out an annual complementarity test and informs the Czech National Bank, 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.

Market Interconnection

On June 18, Interim Coupling project for the interconnection of electricity markets across Europe was completed. This interconnected Czechia and other 4M market coupling countries (Romania, Hungary, Slovakia) with the markets included in the Multi-Regional Coupling project (EU countries in Western, Central, and Northern Europe, Bulgaria, Poland, Norway) through implicit auctions. This interconnection will help to increase the efficiency of trading on the electricity markets in Czechia.

Czechia

mini

In 2021, two important laws for the Czech energy sector were amended in Czechia, namely the Supported Energy Sources Act and the Energy Act.

On October 8, Act No. 362/2021 Sb., amending Act No. 458/2000 Sb., on the conditions of business and the exercise of state administration in the energy sectors and on amendments to certain acts (Energy Act), as amended, and other related acts came into force. The amendment to the Energy Act introduced a statutory provision for the regulation of intermediary activities in the energy sector, extended the protection of consumer rights in the energy sector (the obligation for energy suppliers to demonstrably deliver information to consumers or tradesmen that prices are changing), and expanded the powers of the ERO and the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic (including the regulation of the status of membership in the ERO Council). The purpose of the amendment was to prevent infringement proceedings by the European Commission against the Czech Republic, therefore measures to protect commercially sensitive information of transfer and transmission system operators and regulation of gas storage reserving for transmission system operators were added, as well as legal regulation of receiving and providing international assistance in crisis situations in the gas sector. The amendment is set to take effect on January 1, 2022.

On October 18, Act No. 382/2021 Sb., amending Act No. 165/2012 Sb., on promoted energy sources and amending certain acts, as amended, and amending certain acts (the PES Act), as amended, and other related acts entered into force. The amendment to this Act introduced instruments to ensure compliance with European regulations and set up new measures and instruments to promote renewable energy. At the same time, the amendment modifies the levy rates for the solar tax. Provisions have also been introduced to ensure the adequacy of the support provided in accordance with the requirements set out in the six European Commission Decisions declaring support under the PES Act compatible with the EU internal market (the so-called Notification Decisions). The amendment to the PES Act makes it possible to ensure the fulfillment of RES targets in the period from 2021 to 2030, including ensuring the Czechia's commitment to provide a reasonable level of public support under EU conditions. The amendment is set to take effect on January 1, 2022.

In addition, the following major acts, decrees, and other implementing legislation were adopted in 2021: On February 19, Decree of the Ministry of Industry and Trade No. 78/2021 Sb., amending Decree No. 108/2011 Sb., on gas metering and on the method of determining compensation for damages in the event of unauthorized abstraction, unauthorized supply, unauthorized storage, unauthorized transport, or unauthorized distribution of gas, as amended, and Decree No. 459/2012 Sb., entered into force, on requirements for biomethane, the method of measuring biomethane and the quality of biomethane supplied to the transmission system, distribution system, or underground gas storage facilities. The decree entered into force on July 1, 2021. On March 17, Decree No. 125/2021 Sb. of the Energy Regulatory Office (ERO) amending Decree No. 408/2015 Sb. on the electricity market rules entered into force, with partial effectiveness of this Decree on April 1, 2021, and full effectiveness on January 1, 2022. Another amendment to this Decree came into force on December 23, 2021 (Decree No. 490/2021 Sb., amending Decree No. 408/2015 Sb., on the Electricity Market Rules, as amended). The partial entry into effect of this Decree was set for January 1, 2022, and April 1, 2022, with full effect on July 1, 2024. In particular, the amending decrees have modified and clarified the process of registration of transmission and service points, generating facilities, transmission system, and distribution systems, and the process of transferring information on actual supplies and consumption between the distribution system operator and the market operator. There have also been modifications following the amendment of the Promoted Energy Sources Act, which established new operational support for energy sources.

Decree No. 140/2021 Sb., on Energy Audit and Decree No. 141/2021 Sb., on energy assessment and on the data recorded in the Energy Consumption Monitoring System, were published on March 31. Both decrees implement EU regulations (Energy Efficiency Directive) and came into force on April 1. Decree No. 207/2021 Sb., on the billing of supplies and related services in the energy sectors, entered into force on May 26. The decree implements the relevant provisions of Directive 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council on common rules for the internal market in electricity in the field of billing for electricity, natural gas, and heat. The decree has been effective since January 1, 2022.

Act No. 283/2021 Sb., the Construction Act, was published on July 29, effective since July 1, 2023, with the exception of certain provisions with earlier effect. The new Construction Act regulates the procedures in spatial planning and, in particular, significantly changes the existing system of building permits. In terms of institutional arrangements, it establishes the Supreme Construction Authority, to which the Specialized and Appeals Construction Authority will be subordinated. The Specialized and Appeals Construction Authority will decide in the first instance on reserved constructions of strategic importance (e.g., nuclear power plants, generating facilities over 100 MW) and will be the appeal authority for the system of Regional Construction Authorities, whose territorial offices will decide on other constructions. From a procedural point of view, it is essential that there is only one development permit, with the exception of the buildings at the nuclear site, for which a framework permit can be granted on application; this has the attributes of the existing development permit, including the principle of the envelope method of defining the area for the buildings that are subsequently permitted under the development permit. The new Construction Act then foresees a significant integration of the decision-making of the existing authorities concerned directly into the decision-making on the project authorization, which should bring administrative relief. Where integration does not occur, the authority concerned will issue a statement, not a binding opinion. The building authority is not bound by the statement as it is with a binding opinion, but even in such a case, it must justify its failure to take the statement into account. The shift from the current law should also be evident in the scope of the development permit documentation, which should now have a lower level of detail. The new Construction Act contains a number of other amendments aimed at simplifying the construction permitting process. The new Construction Act, or its consequences, required the incorporation of more than fifty other regulations through the amendment Act No. 284/2021 Sb. The political parties of the current governing coalition have already criticized the law before the October parliamentary elections and announced changes. Therefore, changes to the new Construction Act both in terms of effectiveness and content cannot be ruled out.

Decree No. 277/2021 Sb., amending Decree No. 349/2015 Sb., on the gas market rules, as amended, entered into force on July 23. In particular, the decree amended the rules for access to storage capacity, for the offer of interruptible transmission capacity, and clarified some ambiguous provisions. The decree has been set to take effect on August 1.

Act No. 286/2021 Sb., amending Act No. 99/1963 Sb., the Code of Civil Procedure, as amended, Act No. 120/2021 Sb., on bailiffs and enforcement activities (the Enforcement Code) and on amendments to other acts, as amended, and certain other acts, entered into force on July 30. The adopted amendment introduced the biggest changes in the execution law for the entire duration of the institution of bailiffs—stopping executions up to CZK 1,500 (effective from January 1, 2022), stopping unsuccessful executions (from January 1, 2023), the so-called Merciful Summer (the possibility to repay the debt without penalties, interest on delay, and other costs) for debts to public entities, changes to the offsetting of recovered performance, lump-sum reimbursement of payers' expenses, digitization of executions, etc.

On August 7, the implementing legislation to the Waste Act entered into force. Decree No. 273/2021 Sb., on the details of waste management, deals, for example, with requirements for waste generators, operators, or waste management facilities, including requirements for waste-to-energy facilities, waste registration, conditions for obtaining permits to operate such facilities, and sets out requirements for the collection of waste and its sorted components, sets targets for the sorting of municipal waste or, in accordance with the waste hierarchy, defines maximum waste streams for landfilling and energy recovery of recyclable municipal waste, and also sets maximum limits for the content of harmful substances for the recovery of waste for landfill or backfilling.

On September 30, a government decree on the determination of the state budget funds under Sec. 28(3) of the Supported Energy Sources Act for 2022 came into force, setting the amount of the funds for 2022 at CZK 27 billion, the same as for 2021.

Act No. 374/2021 Sb., amending Act No. 127/2005 Sb., on electronic communications and on amendments to certain related acts (the Electronic Communications Act), came into force on October 18, amending the subscriber telephone directories and changing the principle of the concept of their use in telemarketing (from the opt-out principle to opt-in, i.e., to the possibility of contacting only those persons who have given their prior consent to the mobile operator). The effectiveness of this Act amending the Electronic Communications Act is set for January 1, 2022.

Decree No. 376/2021 Sb., amending Decree No. 269/2015 Sb., on the allocation of costs for heating and common hot water preparation for a house, entered into force on October 18, 2021, with partial effect on November 2, 2021, and full effect on January 1, 2023. The reason for adopting the amending decree is mainly the transposition of Directive (EU) 2018/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of December 11, 2018, amending Directive 2012/27/EU on energy efficiency, where the decree sets out more detailed rules for budgeting heating costs and the installation of the required meters. Decree No. 487/2021, amending Decree No. 16/2016 on the conditions of connection to the electricity grid came into force on December 23. The decree has been set to take effect on January 1, 2022. The amending decree provides in particular for a new regulation of the applicant's share of the payment of eligible connection costs and clarification of the conditions for payment of these eligible costs, a new regulation of the reserved power of the transmission point, and other issues related to changes in the market.

Decree No. 488/2021 Sb., on the conditions of connecting to the gas system, entered into force on December 23. The decree has been set to take effect on January 1, 2022. The decree replaces the original decree on connection to the gas grid No. 62/2011 Sb., and sets out in greater detail the details of the application for connection, the criteria taken into account when assessing the application for connection, the definition of the technical conditions for connection, the deadlines for submitting a draft connection agreement, and the period after which this proposal is valid from the part of the parent system operator, the conditions for connecting biomethane generation plants, etc.

Decree No. 489/2021 Sb., on the procedures for registering support with the market operator and implementing certain other provisions of the Supported Energy Sources Act (the Registration Decree), entered into force on December 23. The decree has been set to take effect on January 1, 2022. The reason for adopting the decree is mainly the amendment to the RES Act effective as of January 1, 2022, which introduced new types of operating aid, and the Registration Decree must respond to these changes by supplementing their registration framework. Decree No. 513/2021 amending Decree No. 262/2015 on regulatory reporting, as amended, entered into force on December 23. The decree has been set to take effect on January 1, 2022. The reason for adopting the Decree is mainly the publication of the Price Regulation Principles for the regulatory period 2021–2025, which brought changes in the approach to correction factors, which will be newly refined on the basis of complete data based on invoicing, and in the unification of the approach to allowed costs for the market operator and system operators.

Other Significant Non-Legislation Documents Having Impact on the Czech Energy Market

The Energy Regulatory Office approved the following price decisions setting regulated prices in the electricity, gas, heating, and RES support sectors for 2022:

  • Pricing Decision No. 3/2021 of May 27, 2021, on regulated prices related to gas supply
  • Pricing Decision No. 4/2021 of September 16, 2021, on heat energy prices
  • Pricing Decision No. 5/2021 of September 29, 2021, fixing prices for the activities of compulsory purchasers and prices related to guarantees of origin
  • Pricing Decision No. 6/2021 of September 29, 2021, fixing the support for supported energy sources
  • Pricing Decision No. 7/2021 of November 30, 2021, on regulated prices related to gas supply
  • Pricing Decision No. 8/2021 of November 30, 2021, fixing prices for related service in the electricity sector and other regulated prices
  • Pricing Decision No. 9/2021 of November 30, 2021, fixing prices for a related service in the electricity sector for customers on low-voltage networks

Other important regulations are the amendments to the Transmission System Operation Rules. With effect from August 11, the Transmission System Operation Rules were amended in Part VI. Dispatch Control. In particular, the process of data transmission for preparing operation and related requirements have been modified. In November 2021, the ERO approved an amendment to the Transmission System Operation Rules, Part II. Ancillary Services. The amendments concerned in particular the conditions for the creation, modification, and operation of aggregation blocks, tolerances for unit performance and evaluation parameters, consequences of repeated failure to provide backup power balance services, and limitations on the maximum size of services provided.

Germany

At the beginning of 2021, an amendment to the RES Act (Erneuerbare Energien Gesetz, EEG 2021) came into force, through which the federal government will further promote the expansion of RES. The amendment set a target of achieving a 65% share of RES in electricity generation by 2030. The amendment also set expansion targets for solar and wind sources. By 2030, the installed capacity of solar sources is to increase to 100 GW, onshore wind to 71 GW, and offshore wind to 20 GW. For the first time, the amendment enshrines the goal of achieving carbon neutrality before 2050 in law.

In mid-2021, Germany adopted an amendment to the German Climate Protection Act (Bundes-Klimaschutzgesetz) that tightened environmental protection requirements while enshrining the goal of achieving GHG neutrality by 2045, 5 years earlier than originally intended. Germany wants to move faster on climate protection than the European Union, which aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. By 2030, the country will produce 65% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than in 1990, according to the new targets. The previous plan was 55%. Germany has committed to approaching the 90% mark around 2040.

Elections to the Bundestag (parliament) were held in the autumn of 2021. Climate policy and RES development were key elements of most political parties' election manifestos. The winning parties of the new governing coalition (SPD—Social Democratic Party, Greens, and FDP—Free Democratic Party) envisage a significant development of RES, which is enshrined in the already concluded coalition agreement. One of its main pillars in the field of RES is the expansion of photovoltaic sources and the achievement of an installed capacity of 200 GW by 2030 (against the EEG target of 100 GW). Another important element is the designation of 2% of land for onshore wind plant development.

Poland

In December 2021, the Sejm (parliament) adopted an amendment to the RES Act, which introduces changes to the billing system for consumers. The most important change in the amendment to the RES Act of October 29 is the introduction of net-billing, i.e., a system of value-based accounting of surplus energy generated by a prosumer (an entity that is both a producer and a consumer). On May 25, the ministry of state assets submitted for public consultation a document entitled Transformation of the Energy Sector in Poland. The ministry has developed a concept for the separation of assets related to electricity generation in conventional coal-fired units from state-owned energy groups. The concept envisages the separation of coal-fired power plants, while retaining in the structure of the groups heat and cogeneration units, which will be gradually replaced by gas-fired units adapted in the future to emission-free hydrogen technology.

Factors Limiting the Use of Existing Assets

The influence of climate-related global goals and ambitions on operation of power plants has been increasing. They also have a major impact on energy sector transition. In the context of legislation and regulation promoted by both Czechia and the European Union, declared to fight climate change, it cannot be completely excluded that use of some assets or groups of assets of CEZ Group will be fundamentally restricted in the future or prematurely terminated. CEZ Group has identified the following three key factors restricting the use of the existing assets:

  • Greenhouse emission allowance market in Europe—there is an apparent effort of the European Union to influence the market with these allowances, e.g., by introducing a market stability reserve (MSR), decreasing of the total number of emission allowances or their managed releasing in the market (back-loading); the obligation to purchase allowances extends to other industries (already in this decade, CO2 savings will have to be realized in industry, which are considerably more expensive than in the energy sector); the growing decarbonization efforts provide long-term price increasing stimulus for CO2 emission allowances; this results in a major economic pressure especially on older and less efficient coal-fired power plants and heating plants or facilities generally, costs of which are tied to the price of emission allowances.
  • 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 and presents the target for a full decarbonization of Europe (the target for reducing emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 was increased to 55%); the Coal Commission (an advisory body of the Czech government established in 2019) has so far recommended 2038 as the latest date for the use of coal in Czechia, but the current government envisages creating conditions for ending the use of coal as early as 2033 in its program statement.
  • Stricter emission limits—BAT Conclusions, entered into force in August 2021, for big combustion facilities, they will not only include stricter limits for a number of previously monitored substances (NOX, SOX, particulate matter) but also introduce new limits for measuring and reduction of pollutants, mercury in particular. CEZ Group subsequently prepares its modern power plants for new limits as much as possible and gradually phases out the older facilities; meeting the tightened limits will require capital expenditure of CZK billions and will also result in increased operating expenses for coal-fired plants.

Assets of mining company and coal-fired generating assets of CEZ Group are most significantly impacted by these trends. CEZ Group's strategy has expected these developments for a long time. Therefore, measures and strategic steps have been implemented on an ongoing basis with a view to minimizing negative impacts of these factors on the value of CEZ Group and—at the same time—to use the opportunities for CEZ Group related to these trends to the maximum possible extent.

Definitions and Calculations of Indicators Unspecified in IFRS

mini

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

Indicator: Adjusted net income (Net 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 impairment of goodwill +/− additions to and reversals of impairments
of developed projects +/− other extraordinary effects that are generally unrelated to ordinary financial
performance and value creation in a given period +/− effects of the above on income taxes.

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

Adjusted Net Income Indicator–Calculation for the Periods under Review

Adjusted Net Income (After-Tax Income, Adjusted) Unit 2020 2021
Net income CZK billions 5.5 9.9
Impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets (including impairment of goodwill)1) CZK billions 24.1 15.8
Impairments of developed projects2) CZK billions 0.0 (0.0)
Effects of additions to or reversals of impairments on income tax3) CZK billions (3.5) (1.7)
Other extraordinary effects4) CZK billions (3.2) (1.7)
Adjusted net income CZK billions 22.8 22.3

1) Corresponds to the total value reported in the row Impairment of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets in the Consolidated Statement of Income. 2) Included in the row Other operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

3) Included in the row Income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

4) The adjustment consists of a correction of adjustment of the net income by the part of impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets (including the related effect on income tax) that relates—based on its characteristics—to the current year. These are impairments on fixed assets of the companies sold in Romania and Bulgaria in 2021, reflecting the income earned over this period, which effectively accrues to the buyers given the locked box date (defined in the asset sale agreements).

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 issues licenses, imposes the obligation to supply beyond the scope of the license, the obligation to let another license holder use energy facilities in cases of emergency for payment, to exercise the supply obligation beyond the scope of the license and regulates prices based on special legal regulations. The State Energy Inspection Board supervises the functioning of the energy sector. All customers have the opportunity to buy electricity from any supplier.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.1. Financial Statements

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

The financial statements are based on a historical cost approach, except where IFRS require a different measurement basis as disclosed in the description accounting policies below.

Explanation Added for Translation into English

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

2.2. Consolidation Method

2.2.1. Group Structure

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

2.2.2. Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries included in the consolidation unit are those entities which the CEZ Group controls. The Group controls an investee if, and only if, the Group:

– Has power over the investee (i.e., the Group has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the activities of the entity that significantly affect its revenues)

  • Is exposed to risk associated with or entitled to variable returns from its involvement with the investee
  • Is able to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the Group's 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 existing 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 a business combination is the sum of the consideration transferred, measured at fair value at acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interests 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 directly in profit or loss.

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. Among other things, the Group considers the separation of embedded derivatives from host contracts.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the Group, as the acquirer, remeasures, through profit or loss, previously held equity interests in the acquiree to fair value at the acquisition date.

Any contingent consideration 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. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured.

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 of the option. 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 liability are recorded directly in equity.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are eliminated unless transaction indicates impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed, where necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the CEZ Group.

2.2.3. Associates

mini

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 included in the consolidated financial statements using 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. The Group's share of other post-acquisition movements in equity of associates is recognized in other comprehensive income 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 profit or 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 or in the item Provisions, 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 joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to its net assets. 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 and parent company are prepared as of the same date. Adjustments are made where necessary to bring the accounting policies into line with those of the Group. Unrealized gains and losses on transactions between the Group and joint-ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in those joint-ventures. 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 of the asset.

2.2.5. Transactions Involving Entities under Common Control of Majority Owner

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 Group's 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 2021

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 standards and interpretations endorsed by EU as of January 1, 2021:

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 – IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (Amendments)

In August 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2, Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16, completing its work in response to IBOR reform. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). In particular, the amendments provide for a practical expedient when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities, to require the effective interest rate to be adjusted, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. Also, the amendments introduce reliefs from discontinuing hedge relationships including a temporary relief from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component. There are also amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of interest rate benchmark reform on an entity's financial instruments and risk management strategy. While application is retrospective, an entity is not required to restate prior periods. The application of the reform did not have significant impact to the Group's financial statements.

IFRS 4: Insurance Contracts (Amendment)

The amendments to IFRS 4 change the fixed expiry date for the temporary exemption in IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts from applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, so that entities would be required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The application of the amendment did not have significant impact to the Group's financial statements.

2.3.2. 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, 2022 or later.

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. In its March 2020 meeting the Board decided to defer the effective date to 2023. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts will replace IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and 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. This standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

IFRS 17: Insurance Contracts (Amendment)

The amendment to IFRS 17 is effective, retrospectively, for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendment aims at helping companies implement the standard. In particular, the amendment is designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the standard, make financial performance easier to explain and ease transition by deferring the effective date of the standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying IFRS 17 for the first time. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

IFRS 17: Insurance Contracts – Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information (Amendment)

mini

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with early application. For entities that first apply IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 at the same time, the amendment adds a transition option for a "classification overlay", relating to comparative information of financial assets. An entity applying the classification overlay to a financial asset shall present comparative information as if the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 had been applied to that financial asset. Also, in applying the classification overlay to a financial asset, an entity is not required to apply the impairment requirements of IFRS 9. The amendment is aimed at helping entities to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities, and therefore improve the usefulness of comparative information for users of financial statements. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

Amendment in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint-ventures: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint-venture (Amendments)

The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in 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 a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendment)

The amendment was initially effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier application permitted. However, in response to the covid-19 pandemic, the Board has deferred the effective date by one year, i.e., January 1, 2023, to provide companies with more time to implement any classification changes resulting from the amendment. The amendment aims to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the balance sheet debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendment affects the presentation of liabilities in the balance sheet and does 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 amendment clarifies the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments.

In November 2021, the Board issued an exposure draft (ED), which clarifies how to treat liabilities that are subject to covenants to be complied with, at a date after the reporting period. In particular, the Board proposes narrow scope amendment to IAS 1 which effectively reverses the 2020 amendment requiring entities to classify as current, liabilities subject to covenants that must only be complied with within the next twelve months after the reporting period if those covenants are not met at the end of the reporting period. Instead, the proposals would require entities to present separately all non-current liabilities subject to covenants to be complied with only within twelve months after the reporting period. Furthermore, if entities do not comply with such future covenants at the end of the reporting period, additional disclosures will be required. The proposals will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and will need be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, while early adoption is permitted. The Board has also proposed to delay the effective date of the 2020 amendment accordingly, such that entities will not be required to change current practice before the proposed amendment comes into effect. This amendment, including ED proposals, has not yet been endorsed by the EU. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as well as Annual Improvements 2018–2020 (Amendments)

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier application permitted. The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to the IFRS Standards as follows:

  • IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amendment) prohibits a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
  • IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Amendment) specifies which costs a company includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous.
  • Annual Improvements 2018–2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases.

These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. These amendments are not expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

IFRS 16 Leases: Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond June 30, 2021 (Amendment)

The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021, with earlier application permitted, including in financial statements not yet authorized for issue at the date the amendment is issued. In March 2021, the Board amended the conditions of the practical expedient in IFRS 16 that provides relief to lessees from applying the IFRS 16 guidance on lease modifications to rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. Following the amendment, the practical expedient now applies to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2022, provided the other conditions for applying the practical expedient are met. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments)

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. In particular, the amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting policies. Also, guidance and illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept when making judgements about accounting policy disclosures. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. These amendments are not expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendment)

The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. Also, the amendments clarify what changes in accounting estimates are and how these differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Group's financial statements.

IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction (Amendment)

The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. In May 2021, the Board issued amendments to IAS 12, which narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12 and specify how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. Under the amendments, the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. It only applies if the recognition of a lease asset and lease liability (or decommissioning liability and decommissioning asset component) give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences that are not equal. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on 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 accordance with IFRS requires Group management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date, the disclosure of information on contingent assets and contingent liabilities, and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for a reporting period. Actual results may differ from such estimates. A description of key assumptions for significant estimates is included in the relevant sections of the Notes. The Group makes significant estimates when determining the recoverable amounts of 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), provision for demolition and dismantling of coal-fired plants (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 terms to measure lease liability (see Notes 2.28 and 24).

In 2021, there were significant changes in some estimates in connection with the adoption of the accelerated strategy VIZE 2030, which takes into account the EU's decarbonization vision and sets out specific ambitions in the area of social responsibility and sustainable development. The most significant changes in estimates in 2021 concerned the shortening of the expected remaining useful life of coal-fired plants (see Note 2.9), the determination of the provisions for demolition and dismantling of coal-fired plants, the shortening of the expected life of coal mining and the related shortening of the expected remaining useful life of mining assets.

2.5. Revenues

mini

Revenue is recognized, when the Group has satisfied a performance obligation and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. The Group recognizes revenue at the amount of estimated consideration (less estimated discounts) that it expects to receive for goods transferred or services provided to the customer.

To apply this basic principle, the Group uses a five-level model:

    1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer,
    1. Identify the performance obligations arising from the contract,
    1. Determine the transaction price,
    1. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations arising from the contract,
    1. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

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

Sales are recognized net of value added tax.

Revenue from the sale of assets is recognized as soon as the delivery takes place and risks and associated benefits, as applicable, are transferred to the buyer.

In the case of construction contracts, where an asset is being created or appreciated for a certain period and the customer controls this asset at the time of its creation or appreciation, revenues are recognized over time. Contract revenues and incurred costs associated with the construction contracts are recognized as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity. The percentage of completion is determined as the share of incurred cots to total expected full contract costs. However, if a loss is expected from the contract, it is recognized in full immediately regardless of the percentage of completion of such a construction contract.

Connection fees received from customers and related payments for power consumption and end-user transfers 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

The change of unbilled electricity and gas is determined monthly on the basis of an estimate. The estimate of monthly change in unbilled electricity and gas is based on deliveries in a given month after deduction of invoiced amounts and estimated grid losses. The estimate of total unbilled balance is verified 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.

2.7. Fuel Costs

Fuel is recognized as costs when it is consumed. Fuel costs include the depreciation of nuclear fuel (see Note 2.10).

2.8. Interest

The Group capitalizes, as the cost of non-current assets, all interest associated with its investing activities that it would not have incurred if it did not pursue such investing activities. Interest is only capitalized for assets constructed or acquired over a substantial period of time.

2.9. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments. The cost of property, plant, and equipment comprises the purchase price and the related cost of materials and labor and the cost of debt financing used in the construction. The cost also includes the estimated cost of dismantling and removing a tangible asset to the extent specified by IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets. Government grants and similar subsidies received for the acquisition of property, plant, and equipment decrease the cost.

Self-constructed property, plant, and equipment are measured at the cost of constructing them. Expenditures on the repair, maintenance, and replacement of minor asset items are recognized as repair and maintenance expenses in the period when such repair is carried out. Improvements are capitalized. When an item of property, plant, and equipment or a part thereof is sold or disposed of, its cost, relevant accumulated depreciation, and any impairments are derecognized in the balance sheet. Any gains or losses arising from the sale or disposal of property, plant, and equipment are included in profit or loss.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there are any indicators that an asset may have been impaired. Where there are such indicators of impairment, the Group checks whether the recoverable amount of the item of property, plant, and equipment is less than its depreciated cost. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. Any impairment of property, plant, and equipment is recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there are any indicators that previously recognized impairments of assets are no longer justified or should be decreased. If there are such indicators, the Group determines the recoverable amount of non-current assets. A previously recognized impairment is recognized as an expense only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to estimate the non-current asset's recoverable amount since the last recognition of the impairment. If that is the case, the depreciated cost of the asset including the impairment is increased to the new recoverable amount. The new depreciated cost may not exceed the current carrying amount, less accumulated depreciation, that would be determined had no impairment been recognized in the past. A reversal of previously recognized impairment is recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.

The Group depreciates the cost of property, plant, and equipment less their residual value using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment that is significant in relation to the total amount of the asset is recognized and depreciated separately. The estimated useful life of property, plant, and equipment is determined as follows:

Useful lives
(years)
Buildings and structures 10—60
Machinery and equipment 4—36
Vehicles 4—34
Furniture and fixtures 4—15

Depreciation periods, residual values, and depreciation methods are annually reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. In 2021, the expected remaining useful life of the assets of coal-fired plants was reduced by 7—10 years. In 2020, the expected remaining useful life of the main assets of nuclear power plants was extended by 10 years.

2.10. Nuclear Fuel

mini

The Group recognizes nuclear fuel as part of property, plant, and equipment because the period for which it is used for electricity generation exceeds 1 year. Nuclear fuel is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, impairments. Nuclear fuel includes a capitalized portion of the provision for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel. The depreciation of nuclear fuel in a reactor is determined on the basis of the amount of energy generated and presented in the statement of income in the line item Fuel and emission rights. The depreciation of nuclear fuel includes additions to the provision for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel.

2.11. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are measured at costs, including the purchase price and related expenses. Non-current intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life, which ranges 3—25 years. Amortization periods, residual values, and amortization methods are annually reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. Improvements are capitalized.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there are any indicators that a non-current intangible asset may have been impaired (for goodwill see Note 2.12). Non-current intangible assets under development are tested for possible impairment annually regardless of whether there are indicators of possible impairment. Any impairment of non-current intangible assets is recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there are any indicators that previously recognized impairments of assets excluding goodwill are no longer justified or should be decreased. If there are such indicators, the Group determines the recoverable amount of non-current assets. A previously recognized impairment is recognized as an expense only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to estimate the non-current asset's recoverable amount since the last recognition of the impairment. If that is the case, the amortized cost of the asset including the impairment is increased to the new recoverable amount. The new amortized cost may not exceed the current carrying amount, less accumulated amortization, that would be determined had no impairment been recognized in the past. A reversal of previously recognized impairment is recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Impairment of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.

2.12. Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at the amount of the difference between the consideration transferred plus the value of any non-controlling interest and the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (see Note 2.2). Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill relating to associates and joint-ventures is recognized in the balance sheet as part of investments in associates and joint-ventures. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The recognized goodwill is tested for possible impairment. The test is performed at least once a year or more frequently if there are indicators of possible impairment of goodwill.

As at the acquisition date, any goodwill acquired is allocated to each of the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the synergies arising from the acquisition. 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 of goodwill is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units, to which the goodwill relates. Where recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Recognized impairment losses of goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent periods. In the event of a partial sale of a cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated, the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the sold part is included in the gain or loss on sale. The amount of goodwill disposed is measured on the basis of the ratio of the value of the sold part of the cash-generating unit to the value of the part that remains in the ownership of the Group.

2.13. Emission Rights

The greenhouse gas emission right (hereinafter the emission right) represents the right of the operator of a facility that emits greenhouse gases in the course of its operation to release the equivalent of a ton of carbon dioxide to the air in a given calendar year. Operators of such facilities are required to determine and report the amount of greenhouse gases produced by its facilities in every calendar year and this amount must be to be audited by an accredited person. Some Group companies as operators of such facilities were allocated a certain amount of emission rights based on the National Allocation Plan.

The Group is required to remit the number of emission rights corresponding to its actual amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the previous calendar year by no later than April 30 of the next calendar year.

Allocated emission rights are measured at nominal, i.e., zero value in financial statements. Purchased emission rights are measured at cost (except for emission allowances held for trading). The Group makes a provision for covering released emissions corresponding to the difference between the actually released amount of emissions and its inventory of allocated emission rights. The provision is measured primarily at the cost of emission rights that were purchased with the intention of covering greenhouse gas emissions in the reporting period. The provision for released emissions exceeding such rights is measured at the market price effective at the end of the reporting period. Emission rights purchased for use in the next year are recognized as current assets in the line item Emission rights. Emission rights with a later planned time of use are recognized as part of non-current intangible assets.

The Group also purchases emission rights for the purpose of trading. The portfolio of emission rights held for trading is measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading. Emission rights purchased for the purpose of trading are recognized as current assets in the line item Emission rights.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there are any indicators that emission allowances may have been impaired. Where there are such indicators, the Group checks whether the recoverable amount of cash-generating units that the emission rights were allocated to is less than their depreciated cost. Any impairment of emission rights is recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Other operating expenses.

Sale and repurchase agreements concerning emission rights are accounted for as collateralized loans.

Allocated green and similar certificates are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently treated similarly to purchased emission rights.

2.14. Classification of Financial Instruments

Financial assets comprise primarily cash, equity instruments of another entity, or a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset.

Financial liabilities are primarily contractual obligations to deliver cash or another financial asset.

Financial liabilities and assets are presented as current or non-current. Financial assets are classified as current if the Group intends to realize them within 12 months of the end of the reporting period or if there is not reasonable assurance that the Group will hold the financial assets for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Financial liabilities are presented as current if they are payable within 12 months of the end of the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities held for trade are also presented as current assets and liabilities.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount is presented in the balance sheet if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Group intends to settle on a net basis or to realize the financial assets and settle the financial liabilities simultaneously.

2.14.1. Financial Assets

mini

Financial assets are classified into the categories of at amortized cost, at fair value depending on whether the financial assets are held for sale or whether they are held under a business model whose objective is to hold the assets to collect contractual cash flows, and at cost.

The Group classifies assets into the following categories:

a) Financial asset measurement at amortized cost

This category comprises financial assets for which the Group's strategy is to hold them to collect contractual cash flows, consisting of both principal and interest. Examples of such financial assets include loans, securities held to maturity, trade receivables.

Expected credit losses, exchange differences, and interest revenue are recognized in profit or loss.

b) Financial asset measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income

This category comprises financial assets where the Group's strategy is both to collect contractual cash flows and to sell the financial assets. This model differentiates between two types of accounting treatment:

– Without future transfer to profit or loss – used for equity financial assets

Impairments are neither calculated nor recognized. Changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. When a financial asset is sold, no gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, so it never affects profit or loss. If an equity financial asset is sold, the accumulated revaluation amount is transferred to retained earnings. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income as part of the revaluation amount. Dividends on such financial assets are recognized in profit or loss provided that the payment of such dividends does not reduce the value of the investment. – With future transfer to profit or loss – used for debt financial assets

Additions to impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. On the disposal of a financial asset, the gain or loan is recognized in profit or loss (the gain/loss is transferred from other comprehensive income to profit or loss). Exchange differences in relation to revaluation surplus are recognized in other comprehensive income. Exchange differences in relation to impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss.

c) Financial asset measurement at fair value through profit or loss

A category of financial assets for which the Group's strategy is to actively trade the asset. The collection of contractual cash flows is not the main objective of the strategy. Examples of such financial assets are securities held for trading and non-hedging derivatives. Impairments are neither calculated nor recognized. Changes in fair value and exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Changes in the fair value of financial investments at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in Other financial expenses or Other financial income.

2.14.2. Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified into two core categories of at amortized cost and at fair value through profit or loss. Classification into those categories is determined analogously to financial assets.

For fair value option financial liabilities, i.e., those measured at fair value through profit or loss, a change in fair value that is attributable to changes in credit risk is presented in other comprehensive income; the remaining amount is presented in profit or loss. However, if the treatment of changes in fair value that are attributable to credit risk created or enlarged an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the entity would present all gains or losses on such a liability in profit or loss.

2.14.3. Derivatives

Derivatives are a special category of financial assets and liabilities. The manner of recognizing gains or losses from the revaluation of derivatives to fair value depends on whether a derivative is classified as a hedging instrument and on the nature of the item being hedged. More information on the reporting of derivatives can be found in Note 2.15.

2.14.4. Impairment of Financial Assets

Following the application of the IFRS 9 approach, the impairment of financial assets is based on a model of expected credit losses (ECL), 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 accounts for either 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (or since the commitment was made or the guarantee was provided). The Group has used a simplified approach for some receivables, under which lifetime expected credit losses are always accounted for.

The portfolio of financial assets is broken down into 3 categories for the purposes of ECL calculation. At the date of initial recognition, financial assets are included in Category 1 with the lowest impairment, which is determined as a percentage of historically unpaid receivables. They are subsequently reclassified as Category 2 and 3 as the debtor's credit risk increases. If a financial asset is bearing interest, interest revenue in Category 3 is calculated from the net amount of the asset.

2.15. Derivatives

The Group uses financial derivatives, such as interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts, to hedge risks associated with interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations. Derivatives are measured at fair value. They are recognized as part of non-current and current other financial assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.

The manner of recognizing gains or losses from the revaluation of derivatives to fair value depends on whether a derivative is classified as a hedging instrument and on the nature of the item being hedged.

For hedge accounting purposes, hedging transactions are classified either as fair value hedges where the risk of change in the fair value of a balance sheet asset or liability is hedged or as cash flow hedges where the Group is hedged against the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to a balance sheet asset or liability or to a highly probable forecast transaction.

At the inception of a hedge, the Group prepares documents identifying the hedged item and the hedging instrument used and documenting the risk management objectives and strategy for various hedging transactions. At the inception and throughout the duration of a hedge, the Group documents whether the hedging instruments used are highly effective in relation to changes in the fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

2.15.1. Fair Value Hedging Derivatives

Changes in the fair values of fair value hedging derivatives are recognized in expenses or income, as appropriate, together with the relevant change in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is related to the hedged risk. Where an adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item is made for a debt financial instrument, the adjustment is amortized in profit or loss over time until the maturity of such a financial instrument.

2.15.2. Cash Flow Hedging Derivatives

Changes in the fair values of derivatives hedging expected cash flows are initially recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss attributable to the ineffective portion is presented in the statement of income in the item Other financial expenses or Other financial income.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recognized in profit or loss in the period when the expenses or income associated with the hedged items are accounted for.

When a hedging instrument expires or a derivative is sold or it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity remains in equity until the forecast transaction is closed and then recognized in the statement of income. If a forecast transaction is no longer likely to occur, the cumulative gain or loss, originally recognized in other comprehensive income, is transferred to profit or loss.

2.15.3. Other Derivatives

Some derivatives are not intended for hedge accounting. A change in the fair value of such derivatives is recognized directly in profit or loss.

2.16. Commodity Contracts

mini

According to IFRS 9, certain commodity contracts are considered to be financial instruments and accounted for in accordance with the standard. Most commodity purchases and sales carried out by the Group assume physical delivery of the commodity in amounts intended for use or sale in the course of the Group's ordinary activities. Therefore, such contracts (so-called "own-use" contracts) are not within the scope of IFRS 9.

Forward purchases and sales with physical delivery of energy are not within the scope of IFRS 9 as long as the contract is made in the course of the Group's ordinary activities. This is true if all of the following conditions are met:

  • Physical delivery of the commodity takes place under the contract;
  • The amount of the commodity purchased or sold under the contract corresponds to the Group's operating requirements;
  • The contract does not represent a sold option as defined by IFRS 9. In the specific case of electricity sales contracts, the contracts are substantially equivalent to firm forward sales or can be considered sales of generation capacity.

The Group considers transactions entered into with the aim of balancing electricity amounts purchased and sold to be part of an integrated energy group's ordinary activities; therefore, such contracts are not within the scope of IFRS 9.

Commodity contracts that are within the scope of IFRS 9 and that do not hedge cash flows are revalued to fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. The Group presents revenue and expenses related to trading in electricity and other commodities in the statement of income item Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading.

Changes in the fair values of commodity contracts that are within the scope of IFRS 9 and that hedge expected cash flows are initially recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss attributable to the ineffective portion is presented in the statement of income in the item Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading.

Subsequently, in accordance with the description in Note 2.15.2, amounts accumulated in equity are recognized in profit or loss in the period when the expenses or income associated with the hedged items are accounted for.

When a hedging instrument expires or a commodity contract is sold or it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity remains in equity until the expected transaction is closed and then recognized in the statement of income. If the expected transaction is no longer likely to occur, the cumulative gain or loss, originally recognized in other comprehensive income, is transferred to profit or loss.

2.17. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, current accounts with banks, and short-term financial deposits with maturity of no more than 6 months.

2.18. Restricted Financial Assets

Cash and other financial assets that are recognized as restricted funds (see Note 4) are intended for the funding of nuclear decommissioning, for mining reclamation and damages, for the restoration and rehabilitation of waste dumps, or are cash guarantees given to counterparties. Such funds are classified as non-current assets due to the time at which they are expected to be released for the Group's purposes.

2.19. Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract asset is the Group's right to a 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.

For work in progress, costs incurred and recognized gains are presented on the balance sheet net of any issued invoices and advances received as an asset or a 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 measured at actual cost, using the weighted average cost method. The costs of purchased inventories include all costs of purchase, including transport costs. Upon use, they are recognized in expenses or capitalized as non-current assets. Work in progress is measured at actual cost. The costs include, primarily, direct material and labor costs. Obsolete inventories are written down using impairments recognized in expenses.

2.21. Fossil Fuel Stocks

Inventories of fossil fuels are measured at actual cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis.

2.22. Income Taxes

The amount of income taxes is determined in compliance with the tax regulations of the states of residence of the Group companies and is based on the profit or loss determined in accordance with local accounting regulations and adjusted for permanently or temporarily nondeductible expenses and untaxed 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, 2021 and 2020, 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 2022 and on is 19%.

Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the liability method based on a balance sheet approach. Deferred tax is calculated from temporary differences between accounting measurement and measurement for the purposes of determining the income tax base. Deferred tax is determined using rates and laws that have been enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset is realized, or the deferred tax liability is settled.

A deferred tax asset or liability is recognized regardless of when the temporary difference is likely to be reversed. A deferred tax asset or liability is 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 by parent and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax asset is recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be claimed, 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 profit after tax nor taxable profit or loss;
  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint-ventures, when it is probable, that the temporary differences will not be reversed and there will not be sufficient taxable profit against which the deductible temporary differences can be applied.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and, if necessary, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized.

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

If the current and deferred tax relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity in the same or a different tax period, the tax is also recognized directly in equity.

Changes in the deferred tax due to a change in tax rates is recognized in profit or loss, except for items charged or credited directly to equity in the same or a different tax period, for which such a change is also recognized directly in equity.

2.23. Long-term Debt

Debt is initially measured at the amount of proceeds from the issue of the debt, less transaction costs. It is then carried at amortized cost, which is determined using the effective interest rate. The difference between the nominal amount and the initial measurement of debt is recognized in profit or loss as interest expense over the period of debt.

Transaction costs comprise commission paid to advisers, agents, and brokers and levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges.

For long-term debt that is hedged with derivatives hedging against changes in fair value, the measurement of hedged debt is adjusted for changes in fair value. Changes in the fair value of such debt are recognized in profit or loss and reported in the statement of income in Other financial expenses or Other financial income. The adjustment to the carrying amount of hedged long-term debt is subsequently recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest rate.

2.24. Nuclear Provisions

mini

The Group makes a provision for nuclear decommissioning, a provision for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive waste, and a provision for the funding of subsequent permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and irradiated reactor components (see Note 20.1).

The provisions made correspond to the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The estimate, expressed at the price level at the date of estimate, is discounted using an estimated long-term real interest rate of 0.3% and 0.4% per annum as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, so as to take into account the timing of expenditure. Initial discounted costs are capitalized as part of property, plant, and equipment and then amortized for the duration of time for which nuclear power plants will generate electricity. The provision is increased by the estimated inflation and real interest rate annually. Such expenses are recognized in the statement of income in the line item Interest expense on provisions. The effect of the expected rate of inflation is estimated at 2.0% and 1.5% as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The process of nuclear power plant decommissioning is estimated to continue for approximately 50 years after the termination of electricity generation. It is assumed that a permanent repository for spent nuclear fuel will commence operation in 2065 and the disposing of stored spent nuclear fuel at the repository will continue until approximately 2090. Although the Group has made the best estimate of the amount of nuclear provisions, potential changes in technology, changes in safety and environmental requirements, and changes in the duration of such activities may result in actual costs varying considerably from the Group's current estimates.

Changes in estimates concerning the provisions for nuclear decommissioning and permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel resulting from new estimates of the amount or timing of cash flows required to settle these obligations or from a change in the discount rate are added to, or deducted from, the amount recognized as an asset in the balance sheet. Should the amount of the asset be negative, i.e., should the deducted amount exceed the amount of the asset, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.

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

The Group has recognized a provision for obligations to decommission and reclaim (see Note 20.2). The provision recognized represents the best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the present obligation at the current balance sheet date. Such estimate, expressed at the price level at the date of estimate, are discounted at December 31, 2021 and 2020, using an estimated long-term real interest rate to take into account the timing of payments in amount of 0.3% and 0.4% 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 provision is increased to reflect the accretion of discount and to accrue an estimate for the effects of inflation. These expenses are presented in the income statement on the line Interest on provisions. The effect of the expected rate of inflation is estimated at 2.0% and 1.5% as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 directly in profit or loss.

2.26. Provision for Demolition and Dismantling of Coal-fired Plants

The Group has recognized a provision for demolition and dismantling of coal-fired plants (see Note 20.2). The provisions were created in 2021 in connection with the deepening of decarbonization targets at the EU level and in connection with updating the Group's strategy and signing up to accelerate the decarbonization of the generation portfolio, including setting a commitment to decommission all coal-fired plants by 2038 at the latest and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The provision created corresponds to the best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. The estimate, expressed in the price level at the date of estimate, is discounted using an estimated real interest rate of (0.4)% per annum as at December 31, 2021, in order to take into account the timing of expenditures. Initial discounted costs are capitalized as part of property, plant, and equipment and then depreciated over the period during which coal power plants will generate electricity. The provision is updated annually with regard to the estimated inflation rate and the real interest rate. These expenses are recognized in the statement of income in the line item Interest on provisions. The effect of the expected rate of inflation is estimated at 2.0% as at December 31, 2021.

Although the Group has made the best estimate of the amount of provision for demolition and dismantling of coal-fired plants, potential changes in technology, changes in safety and environmental requirements, and changes in the duration of such activities may result in actual costs varying considerably from the Group's current estimates.

Changes in estimates concerning the provision resulting from new estimates of the amount or timing of cash flows required to settle these obligations or from a change in the discount rate are added to, or deducted from, the amount recognized as an asset in the balance sheet. Should the amount of the asset be negative, i.e., should the deducted amount exceed the amount of the asset, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.

2.27. Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources

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

2.28. Leases

Determining whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is based on the economic substance of the transaction and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the contractual obligation is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the contract conveys a right to use the asset.

The Group does not 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 on other tangible asset.

2.28.1. Group as a Lessee

The Group uses a consistent approach to the reporting and measurement of all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group accounts for future lease payments as lease liabilities and recognizes right-of-use assets that represent a right to use the underlying assets. Lease payments for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

a) Lease Liability

At the commencement date of a lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of the lease payments that are to be made over the lease term. Lease payments comprise fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be payable 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 those payments occurs.

When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses an incremental interest rate at the commencement date of the lease because the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased by accrued interest and decreased by the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a lease modification, i.e., a change in the lease term, a change in lease payments (e.g., changes in future payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine the amount of the lease payment), or a change in the assessment of the 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 interest rate using observable inputs, such as market interest rates.

The Group uses judgment to determine the expected lease term for contracts made for an indefinite time.

b) Right-of-use Assets

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date when the underlying assets are available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses and adjusted for any reassessment of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets comprises the amount of recognized lease liabilities, initial direct costs, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term or the estimated life of the assets as follows:

Depreciation period
(years)
Lands 2—22
Buildings 2—40
Vehicles, machinery and equipment 3—42
Inventory and other tangible assets 10—17

2.28.2. Group as a Lessor

mini

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.

Lease income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and included as income in profit or loss due to their 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, increased by any unguaranteed residual value of the leased asset at the end of the lease, which is not conditioned by future cash flow. 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.

2.29. Treasury Shares

Treasury shares are reported in the balance sheet as an item reducing equity. The acquisition of treasury shares is recognized in the statement of changes in equity as a deduction from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the statement of income on the sale, issue, or cancellation of treasury shares. Consideration received is recognized in financial statements as a direct increase in equity.

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 and reported using that functional currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign exchange differences 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 they arise in connection with a liability classified as effective cash flow hedges. Such exchange differences are recognized directly in equity.

Exchange differences on financial assets are described in Note 2.14.1.

The assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange valid at the balance sheet date. The costs and revenues of foreign subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates for the given 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.

The Group used the following exchange rates to translate assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at December 31, 2021 and 2020:

2021 2020
CZK per 1 EUR 24.860 26.245
CZK per 1 USD 21.951 21.387
CZK per 1 PLN 5.408 5.755
CZK per 1 BGN 12.711 13.417
CZK per 1 RON 5.023 5.391
CZK per 100 JPY 19.069 20.747
CZK per 1 TRY 1.631 2.880
CZK per 1 GBP 29.585 29.190
CZK per 100 HUF 6.734 7.211

2.31. Assets Held for Sale

Assets and disposal groups of assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Assets and groups of assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is considered met only if the sale is highly probable and the asset or group of assets is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Group management must take steps toward the sale of the asset or group of assets so as to complete the sale within one year from the date of the classification of the assets or group of assets as held for sale.

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

Derivatives balance comprises mainly the positive fair values of commodity trading contracts. The increase of short-term receivables from commodity derivatives in 2021 is mainly due to an increase in the market prices of emission rights, electricity and gas. Related increase of short-term liabilities from commodity derivatives is disclosed in Note 21.

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 could be exercised in 2024 for cash consideration of CZK 2 billion. The option agreement could have been inactivated until December 31, 2019, which the Group did not apply. These contracts represented derivatives that would be settled by the delivery of unquoted equity instrument. Elektrárna Počerady, a.s., is not quoted on any market. There was a 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 has taken place) and thus it was difficult to reasonably assess the probabilities of various estimates. As a result, the fair value could not be reliably measured. Consequently, the put option was measured at cost. No option premium was paid when the contracts were concluded and therefore the cost of these instruments was zero. The second put option expired on the exercise of the sale on December 31, 2020 (see 8.2.4).

In 2021 and 2020, 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 recognized impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of cash-generating unit Severočeské doly in 2021 was caused by the unfavorable development of market and regulatory expectations. In particular, there was a significant decrease in the expected demand for lignite in medium term due to a significant increase in market prices of emission rights and a decrease in the expected so-called clean spread (electricity price minus price of CO2 emission rights). Furthermore, the development of regulation and decarbonization goals of the EU and the Czech Republic assumes an earlier termination of mining in the Czech Republic.

The recognized impairment of property, plant and equipment of the cash-generating unit CEZ Chorzów in 2021 was caused mainly by the unfavorable development of market assumptions concerning, in particular, a significant increase in the market prices of emission rights and a decrease in the expected so-called clean spread.

The impairment loss of property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Bulgarian distribution in 2021 and 2020 was recognized with regard to the fact that the assets were classified as held for sale (see Notes 8.1.2 and 15) and the contractual sale price was fixed and denominated in EUR (so called "locked box") and the carrying amount of assets being sold and associated liabilities as of the date of sale at July 27, 2021 and at December 31, 2020, respectively, exceeded the contractual sale price.

mini

In the first quarter of 2021, the Group reported assets of cash-generating units Romanian wind power plants, Romanian distribution, Romanian sale, TMK Hydroenergy Power and CEZ Romania as assets held for sale (see Notes 8.1.2 and 15), while this constitutes a single sale transaction realized on March 31, 2021. The Group determined the total impairment loss of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment of all these cash-generating units as of March 31, 2021 in the amount of CZK 1,145 million with regard to the contractual sale price stated in EUR (arranged as so called "locked box"). The impairment loss was allocated based on relative carrying amounts of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment of the cash-generating units being sold.

The impairment loss of property, plant and equipment of the cash-generating unit Elektrárna Dětmarovice in 2021 was recognized as a result of a test for possible impairment with regard to the expected low profitability of the production source for the remaining life and with regard to the increased value of property, plant and equipment in connection with creation of provision for demolition and dismantling of the plant after its decommissioning.

The Group recognized impairment loss of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of cash-generating unit Romanian power plants in the amount of CZK 1,001 million in 2020 especially due to the expected decrease in electricity prices on the market in future and the expected decrease in gross margin from electricity generation compared to the previous long-term assumptions.

The recognized impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Romanian distribution in the amount of CZK 842 million in 2020 was caused mainly by an increase in the risk of the impact of regulation on the next regulatory period.

The recognized impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit CEZ Chorzów in 2020 was caused mainly by a decrease in the expected gross margin from electricity and heat generation due to the change in expected market prices of emission rights and electricity and due to reduced expected useful life of the power plant with respect to the government's coal mine closure schedule.

The recognized impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Severočeské doly in 2020 was caused mainly by a shortening of the expected period of coal mining up to the year 2038.

The recognized impairment of property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit CEZ Skawina in 2020 was caused mainly by a decrease in the expected gross margin from electricity and heat generation due to the change in expected market prices of emission rights.

The impairment loss of property, plant and equipment of the cash-generating unit Elektrárna Dětmarovice related to investments made due to the renewal of equipment after the fire in 2017 financed by income from property insurance, and also with regard to a decrease in the outlook for expected profitability of the generation source over its useful life in the region especially due to increase in market prices of emission rights.

The recognized impairment of property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Elektrárna Počerady in 2020 occurred with regard to fact that sale price indicated the impairment of property, plant and equipment (see Note 8.2.4).

The Group classified assets of cash-generating units Romanian wind power plants, Romanian distribution, Romanian sale, TMK Hydroenergy Power and CEZ Romania as assets held for sale since November 1, 2020 (Note 15), while this constituted a single sale transaction. The Group determined the total impairment loss of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment of all these cash-generating units as of December 31, 2020 in the amount of CZK 10,837 million with regard to the contractual sale price stated in EUR (arranged as so called "locked box"). The impairment loss was allocated to the remaining goodwill at first and then based on relative carrying amount of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment of the cash-generating units being sold.

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, 2020, and also except for Romanian wind power plants, Romanian distribution, Romanian sale, TMK Hydroenergy Power, CEZ Romania as at December 31, 2020 and except for the cash-generating unit Elektrárna Počerady's test before its sale on December 31, 2020, 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 internally assessed by the company's management.

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 CCGT 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 by 2022 and impacts of the EU approved climate and energy targets for 2030). 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 rights 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, 2021.

The test is based on the business plan of CEZ Group for 2022–2026 and on the assumptions of long-term development of relevant electricity prices. The plan was prepared in the fourth quarter 2021 whereas the plan was based on the active market parameters observed in October 2021 (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.

The company did not recognize any impairment of generation assets in 2021 and 2020. A change of the assumed EE prices as per the models by 1%, with other parameters remaining unchanged, has an impact of approximately CZK 10.2 billion on the ČEZ value test result. Future cash flows of the model were discounted using a 4.7% 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 7.8 billion. A 1% change in the CZK/EUR exchange rate, with other parameters remaining unchanged, would result in a change of approximately CZK 9 billion in the ČEZ value. Such changes in ČEZ value would not lead to an impairment.

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%.

The discount rate of 4.2% was used for cash-generating unit Energotrans. For testing of Energotrans, the assumptions from "EGT site strategy" were used. The model assumes change in the long-term contract for heat supply to Prague and its prolongation until 2050. The supply of heat by 2028 is assumed from one to three new combined cycle power plants of specific design.

The cash flow projections covering expected remaining useful life, which is estimated at 2030 as at December 31, 2021, were used for determination of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit Severočeské doly. Future cash flows were discounted using increased rate of 5.2%.

The discount rate of 4.7% was used for cash-generating unit Elektrárna Dětmarovice.

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 4.0% was used for cash-generating unit 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 4.1% was used for cash-generating unit ČEZ Teplárenská. There is no growth rate considered for cash flows beyond five-year period.

The discount rate of 4.1% was used for cash-generating unit Energetické centrum. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using 2.0% growth rate.

The discount rate of 4.6% was used for companies of Elevion Deutschland Holding Group (including Hermos) and Kofler Energies Group. There is no growth rate considered for cash flows beyond five-year period.

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

mini

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.

The above assumptions and expected cash flows of all tested assets took into account estimates of the impact of the covid-19. According to the current evaluation of the impacts of the covid-19, the existence of no Group company is endangered and, in general, covid-19 has a relatively limited impact on the Group. All future cash flows reflect all factors, including covid-19. However, the reliability of the estimate of the long-term effects of the covid-19 on the Group is considerably limited due to the uncertainty of the extent of the effects of the pandemic itself and of countries' countermeasures on economic growth, unemployment and debt growth in relevant European countries.

The impact of covid-19 alone cannot be reliably quantified, as overall aggregate demand and supply and economies in general are affected by many more important macroeconomic factors, such as world commodity prices, GDP development in individual countries and regulation at EU level.

From the point of view of the medium-term economic outlook of the Generation segment, the negative impact of covid-19 is limited also with regard to the high level of cash flow hedging. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 88% of expected generation for 2022 has been contracted, for 2023 approximately 60% has been contracted and for 2024 approximately 28%. Along with these presales of electricity, the emission rights for emission sources have been contracted.

The impact of the covid-19 in the coming years will depend mainly on the measures taken in individual countries and their impact on the overall development of the economy in Europe.

8.1.3. Changes in Non-controlling Interests in 2021

mini

In February 2021, Slovenský plynárenský priemysel, a.s., made a cash contribution to ESCO Slovensko, a. s., thus acquiring a 50% non-controlling interest and the Group's share fell to 50%, while maintaining control. The main strategic intention of ESCO Slovensko, a. s., which owned on the date of transaction a shares in 6 Slovak companies invested from ČEZ ESCO, a.s., is the development of decentralized energy and complex energy services in Slovakia.

On June 24, 2021, an agreement was signed that replaced the original contractual relationship between the Group and selected owners of non-controlling interests in Euroklimat sp. z o.o. The original contractual arrangement represented a contingent consideration, so-called earn-out liability, from acquisition of a subsidiary. This agreement related to a 4% interest in Euroklimat sp. z o.o. was replaced by an option to sell the interest to the Group, and therefore it was effectively recognized as a sale of a 4% interest and the put option held by non-controlling interests.

On July 29, 2021, the Group sold a non-controlling 49% interest in the company ČEZ Asset Holding, a. s. In August 2021, the company then changed its name to ENVEZ, a. s.

An overview of basic financial information on these transactions is given in the following table (in CZK millions):

8.2.2. Acquisitions of Joint-ventures in 2020

mini

On April 27, 2020, the Group acquired a 51% interest in the company GEOMET s.r.o. The intention of the joint-venture, in which the second partner is the company European Metals Holdings Limited, is to develop a project for potential lithium mining in Cínovec. Based on the analysis of the relevant agreements, competencies of the partners in the decision making processes and the relevant activities, the Group assessed the current relationship as a joint control.

The following table provides an overview of the basic financial information associated with these transactions (in CZK millions):

GEOMET
Share acquired in 2020 51%
Total net assets 796
Share of acquired net assets 406
Goodwill 385
Total acquisition price of the share 791

The fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities of the joint-venture have been stated provisionally and could be adjusted in the subsequent period.

8.2.3. Acquisitions of Non-controlling Interests in 2020

On June 4, 2020, the Group acquired a part of the non-controlling interest representing a 26.68% interest in the company OEM Energy sp. z o.o., which increased Group's interest to 77.68%. The original owners held an option to sell the non-controlling interest to the Group. In such a case, as long as the option is in force, the non-controlling interest is derecognized at the end of the reporting period and the liability is recognized at the present value of the amount payable on exercise. This option partially expired and therefore the relevant part of the liability was derecognized and the non-controlling interest was accounted for (recognized), however, at the same time it was immediately derecognized due to the purchase of the non-controlling interest.

On June 30, 2020, the Group acquired the remaining non-controlling 49.90% interest in ČEZ Energo, s.r.o. Also in this case there was a put option held by the original partner, which ceased to exist.

The following table provides an overview of the basic financial information associated with these transactions (in CZK millions):

OEM Energy ČEZ Energo Total
Share acquired in 2020 26.68% 49.90%
Option liability derecognized from the balance sheet 20 733 753

8.2.4. Sale of 100% Share in Subsidiary Elektrárna Počerady in 2020

On October 22, 2020, a share purchase agreement was signed on the sale of a 100% share in subsidiary Elektrárna Počerady, a.s., (hereinafter EPC) to the company Vršanská uhelná a.s. The closing date of the transaction was on December 31, 2020 after the prior approval of Office for the Protection of Competition. At the same time this canceled the previous arrangement for the sale of a 100% share in EPC, which has already been concluded between the parties with the date of realization of January 2, 2024 for a purchase price CZK 2.0 billion. According to the new agreement the initial purchase price amounts to CZK 2.5 billion and is due on November 30, 2023.

The transaction includes an agreement between the parties to terminate the existing contract for the purchase of coal from the company Vršanská uhelná a.s., under which the company ČEZ, a. s., was obliged to purchase 5 million tons of coal per year by the end of 2023, and conclusion of a new contract for the purchase of 5 TWh of electricity per year by ČEZ, a. s., from subsidiary of the Vršanská uhelná group for the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023 for a fixed price of CZK 700/MWh plus the cost for the emission right required for the supply of 1 MWh of electricity.

The present value of the total contractual transaction price including adjustments to take into account the amount of working capital as at the closing date is CZK 8,861 million. The part of the transaction price attributable to the sale of shares is CZK 7,056 million, the remaining value of CZK 1,805 million corresponds to the fair value of the terminated contract for the purchase of coal and the new contract for the purchase of electricity. Part of the total transaction price in the amount of CZK 4,500 million was settled as of the closing date of the transaction by offsetting part of receivables from the sale and liabilities arising from Group's cash pooling.

In connection with the realization of this transaction, the contracts for the sale of electricity and purchase of emission rights, concluded in the past as cash-flow hedge for EPC operations for years 2021 to 2023 (so called "own-use" contracts and hedging contracts abroad) were reclassified to derivatives, respectively hedge accounting was terminated, because future sales of electricity from Group's own generation is no longer probable. The corresponding amounts of the hedge accounting were transferred from the other comprehensive income to the statement of income. The current contracts for the supply of coal from the company Vršanská uhelná a.s., (originally an "own-use" contract where the physical delivery for the needs of the Group was assumed, therefore such a contract was not within the scope of IFRS 9) was prematurely terminated by this transaction with financial settlement included in the total transaction price and for this reason the fair value of this contract was recognized in the statement of income.

The total impact of the transaction on the statement of income is given in the following table (in CZK million):

Statement of income line Description Impact
(in CZK millions)
Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading Termination of hedging including reclassification of own-use into derivatives 1,274

Capital Structure Management

The primary objective of the Group's capital structure management is to maintain its credit rating at an investment grade and a level that is standard in the sector and to maintain a healthy ratio of equity to borrowed capital to support the Group's business and maximize value for shareholders. The Group monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments to it with a view to changes in the business environment.

The Group primarily monitors its capital structure using the net debt-to-EBITDA ratio. Considering the current structure and stability of its cash flows and its development strategy, the Group aims to keep the ratio at 2.5–3.0. The Group also monitors its capital structure using the total debt-to-total capital ratio. The Group aims to keep the ratio below 50% in the long term.

EBITDA comprises earnings before taxes and other expenses and revenues plus depreciation and amortization and impairment of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets less gain (or plus loss) from sales of property, plant, and equipment. Total debt comprises long-term debt including the current portion and short-term borrowings. Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid financial assets. For the purposes of capital structure management, highly liquid financial assets comprise short-term and long-term debt financial assets and short-term and long-term deposits. Total capital is equity attributable to parent company shareholders plus total debt. These calculations always include items relating to assets held for sale, which are reported separately in the balance sheet.

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 for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction, which excludes a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value is determined as a quoted market price or a value obtained on the basis of discounted cash flow models or option pricing models.

The Group uses the following methods and assumptions to determine the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

The fair value of cash and other current financial assets is deemed to be the carrying amount due to their relatively short maturity.

Securities Held for Trading

The fair value of current equity and debt securities held for trading is based on their market price.

Non-current Debt and Equity Financial Assets

The fair value of non-current debt and equity financial assets that are publicly traded in an active market is based on their quoted market price. The fair value of non-current and equity financial assets that are not publicly traded in an active market is determined using appropriate valuation techniques.

Short-term Receivables and Payables

The fair value of receivables and payables is deemed to be the carrying amount due to their relatively short maturity.

Short-term Borrowings

The fair value of these financial instruments corresponds to the carrying amount due to their short maturity.

Long-term Debt

The fair value of long-term debt is deemed to be the market value of identical or similar instruments, or the measurement is based on current interest rates on debt with the same maturity. The fair value of long-term debt with a variable interest rate is deemed to be the carrying amount.

Derivatives

The fair value of derivatives corresponds to their market value.

Carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of financial assets (except for derivatives) at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows (in CZK millions):

18.1. Fair Value Hierarchy

mini

The Group uses and discloses financial instruments with the following structure according to the manner in which the fair value is determined:

Level 1: Measured at fair value using the market prices of identical assets and liabilities quoted in active markets.

Level 2: Measured at fair value using methods under which significant inputs are directly or indirectly derived from data observable in active markets.

Level 3: Measured at fair value using methods under which significant inputs are not derived from data observable in active markets.

For assets and liabilities that occur regularly or repeatedly in financial statements, the Group reviews categorization in levels of the fair value hierarchy (according to the lowest input level that is significant to the measurement of fair value as a whole) at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there have been any transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers between the levels of financial instruments at fair value in 2021. At December 31, 2020, the Group transferred liabilities from put options held by non-controlling interests and contingent consideration from the acquisition of subsidiaries from the level 2 to level 3.

As at December 31, 2021, the fair value hierarchy was the following (in CZK millions):

Assets measured at fair value: Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Commodity derivatives 494,419 47,322 443,970 3,127

The Group negotiates derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, especially large groups operating in the energy sector and large financial institutions with high credit ratings. Derivatives that are measured by means of techniques using market inputs include, in particular, commodity forward and futures contracts, foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and options. The most frequently applied valuation methods use commodity price curves, swap models, present value calculations, and option pricing models (e.g., Black-Scholes, Black-76). The models use various inputs including the forward curves of underlying commodities, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, and interest rate curves.

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). The company's shares are not traded on any market. Fair value at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was determined using available public EBITDA data and the usual range of EBITDA multiples which corresponds to the purchase price of a 100% stake in a company in transactions observed in the market in the industry in question before adjustment for the amount of debt. The fair value at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was determined using 7 EBITDA multiple and 8 EBITDA multiple, respectively, 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 at 31 December 2021 and 2020 was determined by a valuation expert. The determination of fair value takes into consideration, in particular, capital contributions and to other forms of financing made by the co-investors recently. In addition, the valuation takes into account further development and eventual subsequent significant events, such as received bids for redemption.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined based on present value of future cash flows, which the Group expects to pay in connection with the acquisition of the subsidiary and is assessed internally by management. The amount of the payment depends on future financial results of the acquired company.

The liability from put option held by the non-controlling interests is measured as the present value of the amount payable on exercise of the option.

Commodity derivatives measured at fair value in level 3 include cross-border electricity transmission rights (hereinafter referred to as "cross-border capacities"). Cross-border capacities are sold in auctions organized by auction offices covering transmission system operators or in auctions organized directly by transmission system operators. Cross-border capacities are not traded on an organized market. The fair value of cross-border capacities, which represents an estimate of the expected value of compensation for unused cross-border capacities, takes into account especially the acquisition price of purchased capacities and the forward prices of electricity in the respective countries.

ČEZ, a. s., trades in derivatives under EFET and ISDA master agreements. The agreements allow mutual setoff of receivables and payables on early termination of contracts. The reason for early termination is the counterparty's insolvency or failure to fulfill agreed contract terms. All agreed contracts are settled financially on early termination. Their mutual setoff is either embedded in a contractual provision of the master agreements or results from the collateral provided. In addition, a CSA (Credit Support Annex) has been signed with several partners, defining the permitted limit of exposure between the partners. When the limit is exceeded, cash is transferred to reduce exposure below an agreed level. The deposited cash 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 are included in Other non-current financial assets, net; short-term derivative liabilities are included in Other current financial liabilities; and long-term derivative liabilities are included in Other non-current 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 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.

Since 2021, a new uniform Enterprise risk management scheme is adopted by the Group to be applied to all group-level significant risks. For this level of risks, the scheme integrates, across the process areas of the whole Group, all decentral risk management activities into one, uniform and centrally coordinated process of the group-level significant risks management, with the use of a software tool.

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. Since 2021, it also monitors overviews regarding new uniform Enterprise risk management scheme.

Overview and Methods of Risk Management

mini

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 which are newly also subject to policies defined by new uniform Enterprise risk management scheme since 2021.

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 interval. 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, 2021 and 2020 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 emission rights, 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):

2021 2020
Monthly VaR (95%) – impact of changes in commodity prices 9,298 4,512

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 value of foreign currency cash flows from all contracted financial instruments, from expected foreign currency operational revenues and costs in 2022 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):

2021 2020
Monthly currency VaR (95% confidence) 437 302

Interest Risks

mini

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):

2021 2020
IR sensitivity* to parallel yield curve shift (+10bp) (4)

* Negative result denotes higher increase in interest costs than in interest revenues.

Credit Exposure

The Group is exposed to credit risk on all financial assets presented in the balance sheet as well as credit risk from provided guarantees. Credit exposure from provided guarantees that are not included in the balance sheet, as at December 31 (in CZK millions):

2021 2020

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, 2021 and 2020 amounted to CZK 15.2 billion and CZK 35.3 billion, respectively. In addition, in November and December 2021, the Company signed committed loan facility agreements with the European Investment Bank to support financing of the distribution grid renewal and further development program in the Czech Republic up to a total of EUR 400 million, which were not drawn as at December 31, 2021.

19.3. Hedge Accounting

The Group hedges cash flows arising from highly probable future revenue in EUR for the purposes of currency and interest risk hedging. The hedged cash flows are expected to occur in 2022—2026. The relevant hedging instruments as at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are the EUR denominated liabilities from the issued Eurobonds and bank loans in the total amount of EUR 3.3 billion and currency forward contracts and swaps. The fair value of these derivative hedging instruments amounted to CZK (325) million and CZK 896 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Group also hedges cash flows arising from highly probable future sales of electricity in the Czech Republic in 2022—2027. The relevant hedging instruments are the futures and forward contracts electricity sales in Germany. The fair value of these derivative hedging instruments amounted to CZK (77,985) million and CZK (4,023) million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The result of this hedging strategy as at December 31, 2021 is that for 2022 approximately 88% of expected generation in the Czech Republic was hedged at an average price of EUR 68.3 per MWh, for 2023 approximately 60% of expected generation at an average price of EUR 61.5 per MWh, for 2024 approximately 28% of expected generation at an average price of EUR 61.8 per MWh and for 2025 approximately 6% at an average price of EUR 64.6 per MWh.

In 2021 and 2020, 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 2021 and 2020, the Group recognized in profit or loss the ineffectiveness that arises from cash flow hedges in the amount of CZK 284 million and CZK 371 million, respectively. The ineffectiveness in 2021 and 2020 was primarily caused by the fact that the hedged cash flows are no more highly probable to occur.

The following table provides an overview of provisions as at December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in CZK millions):

20.1. Nuclear Provisions

The Company operates two nuclear power plants. The Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant comprises four units commissioned for continuous operation in 1985 to 1987. The Temelín Nuclear Power Plant consists of two units that were commissioned for continuous operation in 2002 and 2003. The Nuclear Energy Act sets down obligations for nuclear facility decommissioning and disposal of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. In accordance with the Nuclear Energy Act, all the nuclear parts and equipment of a nuclear power plant must be disposed of after the end of operation. For the purpose of determining the amount of nuclear provisions, it is estimated that the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant will stop generating electricity in 2047, the Temelín plant in 2062. Studies for the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant and for the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant from 2020 assume that the costs of decommissioning of these power plants will reach the amount CZK 26.5 billion and CZK 21.0 billion, respectively. The Company makes contributions to a restricted bank accounts in the amount of the nuclear provisions recorded under the Nuclear Energy Act. These funds can be invested in government bonds in accordance with legislation. These restricted financial assets are reported in the balance sheet as part of the line item Restricted financial assets, net (see Note 4).

The Ministry of Industry and Trade established the Radioactive Waste Repository Authority (SÚRAO) as the central organizer and operator of facilities for the final disposal of radioactive waste and spent fuel. The SÚRAO operates, supervises and is responsible for disposal facilities and for disposal of radioactive waste and spent fuel therein. The activities of the SÚRAO are financed through a nuclear account funded by the originators of radioactive waste. Contribution to the nuclear account is stated by Nuclear Energy Act at 55 CZK per MWh produced at nuclear power plants. In 2021 and 2020, the payments to the nuclear account amounted to CZK 1,690 million and CZK 1,652 million, respectively. The originator of radioactive waste and spent fuel directly covers all costs associated with interim storage of radioactive waste and spent fuel.

mini

The Group has established provisions for estimated future expenses on nuclear decommissioning and interim storage and permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel in accordance with the principles described in Note 2.24. The following is a summary of the provisions for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in CZK millions):

Balance at December 31, 2021 42,284 9,972 41,446 93,702

The use of the provision for permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel in a current year comprises payments made to the government-controlled nuclear account and the use of the provision for interim storage represents, in particular, purchases of containers for spent nuclear fuel and other related equipment for these purposes.

In 2021, 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 in connection with the 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, change of expected contribution to the nuclear account per MWh in future years and change in discount rate.

In 2020, 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 studies for Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant and for Temelín Nuclear Power Plant and change in discount rate and the change in long-term spent fuel storage in connection with the extension of the expected production time of the nuclear power plants by 10 years and change in discount rate.

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 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.

37. Segment Information

The Group reports its result using four primary reportable operating segments:

  • Generation
  • Distribution
  • Sales

mini

– Mining

The segments are defined across the countries that CEZ Group operates. Segment is a functionally autonomous part of CEZ Group that forms a separate process part of the value chain of the Group. The structure of the segments has changed since 2021. The substance of the change was the merging of the segments Generation – Traditional Energy and Generation – New Energy into a new segment Generation. The main reason is the fact that the development of renewable sources in CEZ Group will take place primarily within existing companies now operating mainly traditional energy, and not in existing companies in the original Generation – New Energy segment or in newly acquired companies. Furthermore, the Support Services segment was abolished, especially with regard to the dissolution of the company ČEZ Korporátní služby. Data by segments for the previous period of 2020 were adjusted to be comparable.

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 Group reviews regularly investment plan and actual capital expenditures may vary from the above estimates. At December 31, 2021, significant purchase commitments were outstanding in connection with the investment plan.

Insurance Matters

The Nuclear Energy 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 Energy Act limits the liability for damage caused by other nuclear installations and activities (such as transportation) to CZK 2 billion. The Nuclear Energy 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.

40. Events after the Balance Sheet Date

In February 2022, Inven Capital, SICAV, a.s., sold its entire interest in the company Driivz. The first investment in this global company, which develops software for electro mobile charging infrastructure, was made by Inven Capital, SICAV, a.s., in 2018.

Since February 24, 2022, there has been a military conflict in Ukraine. The Group intensively evaluates the potential impacts, including the effects of the consequent sanctions, that have been imposed on the Russian Federation. The Group does not expect the immediate effects to be significant. In the short term, due to increased volatility in commodity markets, there is an increased liquidity need for so-called margin calls arising from counterparty requirements related to derivative contracts. The impacts on the CEZ Group in the medium term will depend on the further development of the conflict in Ukraine, on the specific form and duration of sanctions against the Russian Federation and their consequences for European and Czech energy sector. As the main risks for the Group are considered the potential impacts on securing supplies of nuclear fuel, ensuring the maintenance of generation facilities, securing gas purchases for end customers, and the risk that Russian companies will not be able to fulfill other concluded contracts or make financial settlements according to previously concluded contracts and agreed financial instruments. The Group has the highest credit exposure from the concluded commodity contracts for the purchase of electricity and gas from the company Gazprom Marketing & Trading with the seat in the United Kingdom, when, as at December 31, 2021, the fair value of commodity derivatives for the purchase of electricity was CZK 3,307 million and for the gas purchase was CZK 2,582 million. The Group also has a significant credit exposure from commodity gas contracts from Gazprom Export with the seat in the Russian Federation, when, as at December 31, 2021, the fair value of commodity derivatives for gas purchase was CZK 2,149 million. Up to the approval of these consolidated financial statements for issue, the obligations of these companies have been fulfilled, as have been the obligations arising from business contracts for the supply of goods and services by the suppliers from Russian Federation.

On March 14, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a dividend proposal for 2021 in the amount of CZK 44 per share before tax.

These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issue on March 14, 2022.

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 2021, 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 2021, 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.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

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.

Section C, entry no. 88504, under Identification No. 26704153.

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 2021 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.

Ernst & Young Audit, s.r.o. with its registered office at Na Florenci 2116/15, 110 00 Prague 1 – Nove Mesto, has been incorporated in the Commercial Register administered by the Municipal Court in Prague, Section C, entry no. 88504, under Identification No. 26704153.

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 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Information required by Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council

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:

Appointment of Auditor and Period of Engagement

We were appointed as the auditors of the Group by the General Meeting of Shareholders on 28 June 2021 and our uninterrupted engagement has lasted for 20 years.

Consistence with Additional Report to Audit Committee

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 Group. In addition, there are no other non-audit services which were provided by us to the Group and its controlled undertakings and which have not been disclosed in the annual report.

Statutory auditor responsible for the engagement

Jiří Křepelka is the statutory auditor responsible for the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2021, based on which this independent auditor's report has been prepared.

Report on compliance with the ESEF Regulation

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion, on the basis of the audit evidence obtained, whether the financial statements included in the annual report comply with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation in all material respects. We performed this reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements ISAE 3000 (revised) Assurance Engagements, which are not an audit or review of historical financial information ("ISAE 3000").

The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment. A reasonable level of assurance is a high level of assurance, however, it does not guarantee that a verification performed in accordance with the above standard will in all cases reveal any significant (material) non-compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

As part of the selected procedures, we performed the following activities:

  • we have read the requirements of the ESEF Regulation,
  • we get the understanding of the internal controls of ČEZ, a.s. relevant to the application of the requirements of the ESEF Regulation,
  • we have identified and evaluated the risks of material non-compliance with the ESEF Regulation due to fraud or error; and
  • Based on this, designed and implemented procedures to respond to the assessed risks and to obtain reasonable assurance for the purpose of expressing our conclusion.

The goal of our procedures was to assess whether

  • the financial statements, which are included in the annual report, have been prepared in the valid XHTML format,
  • the data contained in the financial statements required by the ESEF Regulation have been tagged and all tagging meets the following requirements:
  • the XBRL markup language was used,
  • the elements of the basic taxonomy listed in the ESEF Regulation with the closest accounting significance have been used, unless an extension taxonomy element has been created in accordance with Annex IV of the ESEF Regulation,
  • the mark-ups are in line with the common rules for tagging under the ESEF Regulation.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.

Conclusion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of the ČEZ Group and financial statements of ČEZ, a. s. for the year ended 31 December 2021 included in the annual report are in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.1. Financial Statements

These separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU).

The financial statements are based on a historical cost approach, except where IFRS require a different measurement basis as disclosed in the description of accounting policies below.

Due to the economic substance of transactions and the environment in which the Company operates, the Czech crowns (CZK) is used as the functional currency and reporting currency.

The Company has also prepared CEZ Group's consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 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 2021

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 standards and interpretations endorsed by EU as of January 1, 2021:

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 – IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (Amendments)

In August 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2, Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16, completing its work in response to IBOR reform. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). In particular, the amendments provide for a practical expedient when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities, to require the effective interest rate to be adjusted, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. Also, the amendments introduce reliefs from discontinuing hedge relationships including a temporary relief from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component. There are also amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of interest rate benchmark reform on an entity's financial instruments and risk management strategy. While application is retrospective, an entity is not required to restate prior periods. The application of the reform did not have significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

IFRS 4: Insurance Contracts (Amendment)

The amendments to IFRS 4 change the fixed expiry date for the temporary exemption in IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts from applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, so that entities would be required to apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The application of the amendment did not have significant impact to the Company's financial statements.

2.2.2. 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, 2022 or later.

IFRS 17: Insurance Contracts

mini

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. In its March 2020 meeting the Board decided to defer the effective date to 2023. IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts will replace IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and 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. This standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

IFRS 17: Insurance Contracts (Amendment)

The amendment to IFRS 17 is effective, retrospectively, for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendment aims at helping companies implement the standard. In particular, the amendment is designed to reduce costs by simplifying some requirements in the standard, make financial performance easier to explain and ease transition by deferring the effective date of the standard to 2023 and by providing additional relief to reduce the effort required when applying IFRS 17 for the first time. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

IFRS 17: Insurance Contracts – Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information (Amendment)

The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early application. For entities that first apply IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 at the same time, the amendment adds a transition option for a "classification overlay", relating to comparative information of financial assets. An entity applying the classification overlay to a financial asset shall present comparative information as if the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 had been applied to that financial asset. Also, in applying the classification overlay to a financial asset, an entity is not required to apply the impairment requirements of IFRS 9. The amendment is aimed at helping entities to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities, and therefore improve the usefulness of comparative information for users of financial statements. This amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Amendment in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint-ventures: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint-venture (Amendments)

The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in 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 a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendment)

The amendment was initially effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier application permitted. However, in response to the covid-19 pandemic, the Board has deferred the effective date by one year, i.e., January 1, 2023, to provide companies with more time to implement any classification changes resulting from the amendment. The amendment aims to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the balance sheet debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendment affects the presentation of liabilities in the balance sheet and does 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 amendment clarifies the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments.

In November 2021, the Board issued an exposure draft (ED), which clarifies how to treat liabilities that are subject to covenants to be complied with, at a date after the reporting period. In particular, the Board proposes narrow scope amendment to IAS 1 which effectively reverses the 2020 amendment requiring entities to classify as current, liabilities subject to covenants that must only be complied with within the next twelve months after the reporting period if those covenants are not met at the end of the reporting period. Instead, the proposals would require entities to present separately all non-current liabilities subject to covenants to be complied with only within twelve months after the reporting period. Furthermore, if entities do not comply with such future covenants at the end of the reporting period, additional disclosures will be required. The proposals will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024 and will need be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, while early adoption is permitted. The Board has also proposed to delay the effective date of the 2020 amendment accordingly, such that entities will not be required to change current practice before the proposed amendment comes into effect. This amendment, including ED proposals, has not yet been endorsed by the EU. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as well as Annual Improvements 2018–2020 (Amendments)

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier application permitted. The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to the IFRS Standards as follows:

  • IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amendment) prohibits a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.
  • IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Amendment) specifies which costs a company includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous.
  • Annual Improvements 2018–2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases.

These amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. These amendments are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

IFRS 16 Leases: Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions beyond June 30, 2021 (Amendment)

The amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021, with earlier application permitted, including in financial statements not yet authorized for issue at the date the amendment is issued. In March 2021, the Board amended the conditions of the practical expedient in IFRS 16 that provides relief to lessees from applying the IFRS 16 guidance on lease modifications to rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. Following the amendment, the practical expedient now applies to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2022, provided the other conditions for applying the practical expedient are met. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments)

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. In particular, the amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting policies. Also, guidance and illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept when making judgements about accounting policy disclosures. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. These amendments are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendment)

The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. Also, the amendments clarify what changes in accounting estimates are and how these differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction (Amendment)

The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. In May 2021, the Board issued amendments to IAS 12, which narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12 and specify how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. Under the amendments, the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. It only applies if the recognition of a lease asset and lease liability (or decommissioning liability and decommissioning asset component) give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences that are not equal. The amendment has not yet been endorsed by the EU. This amendment is not expected to have a material effect on 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

mini

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires Company management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date, the disclosure of information on contingent assets and contingent liabilities, and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for a reporting period. Actual results may differ from such estimates. A description of key assumptions for significant estimates is included in the relevant sections of the Notes.

The Company makes significant estimates when determining the recoverable amounts of property, plant, and equipment and non-current financial assets (see Notes 3 and 5), for nuclear provisions (see Notes 2.21 and 17.1), provision for demolition and dismantling of coal-fired plants (see Notes 2.22 and 17.2) for provision for waste storage restoration (see Note 17.2), and when determining the fair value of commodity contracts (see Notes 2.14 and 15) and financial derivatives (see Notes 2.13 and 15) and incremental interest rates and lease terms to measure lease liabilities (see Notes 2.23 and 21).

In 2021, there were significant changes in some estimates in connection with the adoption of the accelerated strategy VIZE 2030, which takes into account the EU's decarbonization vision and sets out specific ambitions in the area of social responsibility and sustainable development. The most significant changes in estimates in 2021 concerned a shortening of the expected remaining useful life of coal-fired plants (see Note 2.7), the determination of the provision for demolition and dismantling of coal-fired plants and determining the recoverable amount of non-current financial assets.

2.4. Revenues and Other Income

Revenue is recognized, when the Company has satisfied a performance obligation and the amount of revenue can be reliably measured. The Company recognizes revenue at the amount of estimated consideration (less estimated discounts) that it expects to receive for goods transferred or services provided to the customer.

To apply this basic principle, the Company uses a five-level model:

    1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer,
    1. Identify the performance obligations arising from the contract,
    1. Determine the transaction price,
    1. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations arising from the contract,
    1. Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue from sales of electricity, heat, and gas based on contract terms. Any differences between contracted amounts and actual supplies are settled through the market operator.

Sales are recognized net of value added tax.

Revenue from the sale of assets is recognized as soon as the delivery takes place and risks and associated benefits, as applicable, are transferred to the buyer.

Dividend income is recognized when the Company is awarded the right to the payment of the dividend.

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

2.5. Fuel Costs

Fuel is recognized as costs when it is consumed. Fuel costs include the depreciation of nuclear fuel (see Note 2.8).

2.6. Interest

The Company capitalizes, as the cost of non-current assets, all interest associated with its investing activities that it would not have incurred if it did not pursue such investing activities. Interest is only capitalized for assets constructed or acquired over a substantial period of time.

2.7. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments. The cost of property, plant, and equipment comprises the purchase price and the related cost of materials and labor and the cost of debt financing used in the construction. The cost also includes the estimated cost of dismantling and removing a tangible asset to the extent specified by IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets. Government grants and similar subsidies received for the acquisition of property, plant, and equipment decrease the cost.

Self-constructed property, plant, and equipment are measured at the cost of constructing them. Expenditures on the repair, maintenance, and replacement of minor asset items are recognized as repair and maintenance expenses in the period when such repair is carried out. Improvements are capitalized. When an item of property, plant, and equipment or a part thereof is sold or disposed of, its cost, relevant accumulated depreciation, and any impairments are derecognized in the balance sheet. Any gains or losses arising from the sale or disposal of property, plant, and equipment are included in profit or loss.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there are any indicators that an asset may have been impaired. Where there are such indicators of impairment, the Company checks whether the recoverable amount of the item of property, plant, and equipment is less than its depreciated cost. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. Any impairment of property, plant, and equipment is recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there are any indicators that previously recognized impairments of assets are no longer justified or should be decreased. If there are such indicators, the Company determines the recoverable amount of non-current assets. A previously recognized impairment is recognized as an expense only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to estimate the non-current asset's recoverable amount since the last recognition of the impairment. If that is the case, the depreciated cost of the asset including the impairment is increased to the new recoverable amount. The new depreciated cost may not exceed the current carrying amount, less accumulated depreciation, that would be determined had no impairment been recognized in the past. A reversal of previously recognized impairment is recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.

The Company depreciates the cost of property, plant, and equipment less their residual value using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment that is significant in relation to the total amount of the asset is recognized and depreciated separately. The estimated useful life of property, plant, and equipment is determined as follows:

Useful lives
(years)
Buildings and structures 13—60
Machinery and equipment 4—36
Vehicles 4—34
Furniture and fixtures 4—15

The average depreciation period depending on useful life is determined as follows:

Average life
(years)
Hydro plants
Buildings and structures 48
Machinery and equipment 17
Fossil fuel plants
Buildings and structures 29
Machinery and equipment 17
Nuclear power plant
Buildings and structures 51
Machinery and equipment 38

Depreciation periods, residual values, and depreciation methods are annually reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. In 2021, the expected remaining useful life of the assets of coal-fired plants was reduced by 7—10 years. In 2020, the expected remaining useful life of the main assets of nuclear power plants was extended by 10 years.

2.8. Nuclear Fuel

The Company recognizes nuclear fuel as part of property, plant, and equipment because the period for which it is used for electricity generation exceeds 1 year. Nuclear fuel is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, impairments. Nuclear fuel includes a capitalized portion of the provision for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel. The depreciation of nuclear fuel in a reactor is determined on the basis of the amount of energy generated and presented in the statement of income in the line item Fuel and emission rights. The depreciation of nuclear fuel includes additions to the provision for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel.

2.9. Intangible Assets

mini

Intangible assets are measured at costs, including the purchase price and related expenses. Non-current intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life, which ranges from 3—19 years. Amortization periods, residual values, and amortization methods are annually reviewed and adjusted as appropriate. Improvements are capitalized.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there are any indicators that a non-current intangible asset may have been impaired. Non-current intangible assets under development are tested for possible impairment annually regardless of whether there are indicators of possible impairment. Any impairment of non-current intangible assets is recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there are any indicators that previously recognized impairments of assets are no longer justified or should be decreased. If there are such indicators, the Company determines the recoverable amount of non-current assets. A previously recognized impairment is recognized as an expense only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to estimate the non-current asset's recoverable amount since the last recognition of the impairment. If that is the case, the amortized cost of the asset including the impairment is increased to the new recoverable amount. The new amortized cost may not exceed the current carrying amount, less accumulated amortization, that would be determined had no impairment been recognized in the past. A reversal of previously recognized impairment is recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets.

2.10. Investment Property

Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both, rather than use for ordinary course of business. If the property is also used for ordinary business, it is an investment in property only if the owner-occupied portion is non-material.

Investment property is initially measured at cost, which consists of the purchase cost and any directly attributable transaction costs. Investment property should be recognized as an asset, when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are associated with the property will flow to the entity, and the cost of the property can be reliably measured. After initial recognition, investment property is recognized in accordance with the cost model. The Company depreciates the cost of investment property less their residual value using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. The average depreciation period based on useful life is 49 years.

2.11. Emission Rights

The greenhouse gas emission right (hereinafter the emission right) represents the right of the operator of a facility that generates greenhouse gas emissions by its operation to emit the equivalent of a ton of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in a given calendar year. The Company is obliged to determine and report the amount of greenhouse gas emissions from the facilities for each calendar year and this amount must be to be audited by an accredited person. The Company was allocated a certain amount of emission rights on the basis of the National Allocation Plan.

The Company is required to remit the number of emission rights corresponding to its actual amount of greenhouse gas emissions in the previous calendar year by no later than April 30 of the next calendar year.

Allocated emission rights are measured at nominal, i.e., zero value in financial statements. Purchased emission rights are measured at cost (except for emission rights held for trading). The Company makes a provision for covering released emissions corresponding to the difference between the actually released amount of emissions and its inventory of allocated emission rights. The provision is measured primarily at the cost of emission rights that were purchased with the intention of covering greenhouse gas emissions in the reporting period. The provision for released emissions exceeding such rights is measured at the market price effective at the end of the reporting period. Emission rights purchased for use in the next year are recognized as current assets in the line item Emission rights. Emission rights with a later planned time of use are recognized as part of non-current intangible assets.

The Company also purchases emission rights for the purpose of trading. The portfolio of emission rights held for trading is measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading. Emission rights purchased for the purpose of trading are recognized as current assets in the line item Emission rights.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there are any indicators that emission allowances may have been impaired. Where there are such indicators, the Company checks whether the recoverable amount of cash-generating units that the emission rights were allocated to is less than their depreciated cost. Any impairment of emission rights is recognized in profit or loss and presented in the line item Other operating expenses.

Sale and repurchase agreements concerning emission rights are accounted for as collateralized loans.

2.12. Classification of Financial Instruments

Financial assets comprise primarily cash, equity instruments of another entity, or a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset.

Financial liabilities are primarily contractual obligations to deliver cash or another financial asset.

Financial liabilities and assets are presented as current or non-current. Financial assets are classified as current if the Company intends to realize them within 12 months of the end of the reporting period or if there is not reasonable assurance that the Company will hold the financial assets for more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Financial liabilities are presented as current if they are payable within 12 months of the end of the reporting period. Assets and liabilities held for trade are also presented as current assets and liabilities.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the resulting net amount is presented in the balance sheet if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognized amounts and the Company intends to settle on a net basis or to realize the financial assets and settle the financial liabilities simultaneously.

2.12.1. Financial Assets

Financial assets are classified into the categories of at amortized cost, at fair value depending on whether the financial assets are held for sale or whether they are held under a business model whose objective is to hold the assets to collect contractual cash flows, and at cost.

The Company classifies assets into the following categories:

a) Financial asset measurement at amortized cost

This category comprises financial assets for which the Company's strategy is to hold them to collect contractual cash flows, consisting of both principal and interest. Examples of such financial assets include loans, securities held to maturity, trade receivables.

Expected credit losses, exchange differences, and interest revenue are recognized in profit or loss.

b) Financial asset measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income

This category comprises financial assets where the Company's strategy is both to collect contractual cash flows and to sell the financial assets. This model differentiates between two types of accounting treatment:

– Without future transfer to profit or loss—used for equity financial assets

Impairments are neither calculated nor recognized. Changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. When a financial asset is sold, no gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, so it never affects profit or loss. If an equity financial asset is sold, the accumulated revaluation amount is transferred to retained earnings. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income as part of the revaluation amount. Dividends on such financial assets are recognized in profit or loss provided that the payment of such dividends does not reduce the value of the investment.

– With future transfer to profit or loss—used for debt financial assets

Additions to impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. On the disposal of a financial asset, the gain or loan is recognized in profit or loss (the gain/loss is transferred from other comprehensive income to profit or loss). Exchange differences in relation to revaluation surplus are recognized in other comprehensive income. Exchange differences in relation to impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Interest revenue is recognized in profit or loss.

c) Financial asset measurement at fair value through profit or loss

A category of financial assets for which the Company's strategy is to actively trade the asset. The collection of contractual cash flows is not the main objective of the strategy. Examples of such financial assets are securities held for trading and non-hedging derivatives. Impairments are neither calculated nor recognized. Changes in fair value and exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Changes in the fair value of financial investments at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in Other financial expenses or Other financial income.

d) Financial asset measurement at cost

This category of financial assets comprises investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint-ventures. Additions to impairment are recognized in profit or loss.

2.12.2. Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified into two core categories of at amortized cost and at fair value through profit or loss. Classification into those categories is determined analogously to financial assets.

For fair value option financial liabilities, i.e., those measured at fair value through profit or loss, a change in fair value that is attributable to changes in credit risk is presented in other comprehensive income; the remaining amount is presented in profit or loss. However, if the treatment of changes in fair value that are attributable to credit risk created or enlarged an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the entity would present all gains or losses on such a liability in profit or loss.

2.12.3. Derivatives

mini

Derivatives are a special category of financial assets and liabilities. The manner of recognizing gains or losses from the revaluation of derivatives to fair value depends on whether a derivative is classified as a hedging instrument and on the nature of the item being hedged. More information on the reporting of derivatives can be found in Note 2.13.

2.12.4. Impairment of Financial Assets

Following the application of the IFRS 9 approach, the impairment of financial assets is based on a model of expected credit losses (ECL), 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) financial guarantee contracts,
  • e) bank accounts and term deposits.

The Company accounts for either 12-month expected credit losses or lifetime expected credit losses depending on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (or since the commitment was made or the guarantee was provided). The Company has used a simplified approach for some receivables, under which lifetime expected credit losses are always accounted for.

The portfolio of financial assets is broken down into 3 categories for the purposes of ECL calculation. At the date of initial recognition, financial assets are included in Category 1 with the lowest impairment, which is determined as a percentage of historically unpaid receivables. They are subsequently reclassified as Category 2 and 3 as the debtor's credit risk increases. If a financial asset is bearing interest, interest revenue in Category 3 is calculated from the net amount of the asset.

2.13. Derivatives

The Company uses financial derivatives, such as interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts, to hedge risks associated with interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations. Derivatives are measured at fair value. They are recognized as part of non-current and current other financial assets and liabilities in the balance sheet.

The manner of recognizing gains or losses from the revaluation of derivatives to fair value depends on whether a derivative is classified as a hedging instrument and on the nature of the item being hedged. For hedge accounting purposes, hedging transactions are classified either as fair value hedges where the risk of change in the fair value of a balance sheet asset or liability is hedged or as cash flow hedges where the Company is hedged against the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to a balance sheet asset or liability or to a highly probable forecast transaction.

At the inception of a hedge, the Company prepares documents identifying the hedged item and the hedging instrument used and documenting the risk management objectives and strategy for various hedging transactions. At the inception and throughout the duration of a hedge, the Company documents whether the hedging instruments used are highly effective in relation to changes in the fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

2.13.1. Fair Value Hedging Derivatives

Changes in the fair values of fair value hedging derivatives are recognized in expenses or income, as appropriate, together with the relevant change in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is related to the hedged risk. Where an adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item is made for a debt financial instrument, the adjustment is amortized in profit or loss over time until the maturity of such a financial instrument.

2.13.2. Cash Flow Hedging Derivatives

Changes in the fair values of derivatives hedging expected cash flows are initially recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss attributable to the ineffective portion is presented in the statement of income in the item Other financial expenses or Other financial income.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recognized in profit or loss in the period when the expenses or income associated with the hedged items are accounted for.

When a hedging instrument expires or a derivative is sold or it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity remains in equity until the forecast transaction is closed and then recognized in the statement of income. If a forecast transaction is no longer likely to occur, the cumulative gain or loss, originally recognized in other comprehensive income, is transferred to profit or loss.

2.13.3. Other Derivatives

Some derivatives are not intended for hedge accounting. A change in the fair value of such derivatives is recognized directly in profit or loss.

2.14. Commodity Contracts

According to IFRS 9, certain commodity contracts are considered to be financial instruments and accounted for in accordance with the standard. Most commodity purchases and sales carried out by the Company assume physical delivery of the commodity in amounts intended for use or sale in the course of the Company's ordinary activities. Therefore, such contracts (so-called "own use" contracts) are not within the scope of IFRS 9.

Forward purchases and sales with physical delivery of energy are not within the scope of IFRS 9 as long as the contract is made in the course of the Company's ordinary activities. This is true if all of the following conditions are met:

  • Physical delivery of the commodity takes place under the contract;
  • The amount of the commodity purchased or sold under the contract corresponds to the Company's operating requirements;
  • The contract does not represent a sold option as defined by IFRS 9. In the specific case of electricity sales contracts, the contracts are substantially equivalent to firm forward sales or can be considered sales of generation capacity.

The Company considers transactions entered into with the aim of balancing electricity amounts purchased and sold to be part of an integrated energy group's ordinary activities; therefore, such contracts are not within the scope of IFRS 9.

Commodity contracts that are within the scope of IFRS 9 and that do not hedge cash flow are revalued to fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. The Company presents revenue and expenses related to trading in electricity and other commodities in the statement of income item Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading.

Changes in the fair values of commodity contracts that are within the scope of IFRS 9 and that hedge expected cash flows are initially recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss attributable to the ineffective portion is presented in the statement of income in the item Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading.

Subsequently, in accordance with the description in Note 2.13.2, amounts accumulated in equity are recognized in profit or loss in the period when the expenses or income associated with the hedged items are accounted for.

When a hedging instrument expires or a commodity contract is sold or it no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative gain or loss recognized in equity remains in equity until the expected transaction is closed and then recognized in the statement of income. If the expected transaction is no longer likely to occur, the cumulative gain or loss, originally recognized in other comprehensive income, is transferred to profit or loss.

2.15. Cash and Cash Equivalents

mini

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, current accounts with banks, and short-term financial deposits with maturity of no more than 6 months. Foreign currency cash and cash equivalents are translated to the Czech koruna at the exchange rate applicable at the end of the reporting period.

2.16. Restricted Financial Assets

Cash and other financial assets that are recognized as restricted funds (see Note 4) are intended for the funding of nuclear decommissioning, for the waste storage reclamation and rehabilitation of waste dumps, or are cash guarantees given to counterparties. Such funds are classified as non-current assets due to the time at which they are expected to be released for the Company's purposes.

2.17. Materials and Supplies

Purchased inventories are measured at actual cost, using the weighted average cost method. The costs of purchased inventories include all costs of purchase, including transport costs. Upon use, they are recognized in expenses or capitalized as non-current assets. Work in progress is measured at actual cost. The costs include, primarily, direct material and labor costs. Obsolete inventories are written down using impairments recognized in expenses. Impairments of inventories amounted to CZK 40 million and CZK 45 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

2.18. Fossil Fuel Stocks

Inventories of fossil fuels are measured at actual cost, determined on a weighted average cost basis.

2.19. Income Taxes

The amount of income taxes is determined in compliance with Czech tax laws and is based on the Company's profit or loss determined in accordance with Czech accounting regulations and adjusted for permanently or temporarily nondeductible expenses and untaxed income (e.g., a difference in the depreciation and amortization of non-current assets for tax and accounting purposes). The current income tax at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, was calculated from income before tax in accordance with Czech accounting regulations, adjusted for some items that are nondeductible or nontaxable for tax purposes, using a rate of 19%. The applicable tax rate for 2022 and future years is 19%.

Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the liability method based on a balance sheet approach. Deferred tax is calculated from temporary differences between accounting measurement and measurement for the purposes of determining the income tax base. Deferred tax is determined using rates and laws that have been enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset is realized, or the deferred tax liability is settled.

A deferred tax asset or liability is recognized regardless of when the temporary difference is likely to be reversed. A deferred tax asset or liability is not discounted. A deferred tax asset is recognized when it is probable that the Company will generate sufficient taxable profit in the future against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and, if necessary, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilized.

If the current and deferred tax relate to items that are charged or credited directly to equity in the same or a different tax period, the tax is also recognized directly in equity.

Changes in the deferred tax due to a change in tax rates is recognized in profit or loss, except for items charged or credited directly to equity in the same or a different tax period, for which such a change is also recognized directly in equity.

2.20. Long-term Debt

Debt is initially measured at the amount of proceeds from the issue of the debt, less transaction costs. It is then carried at amortized cost, which is determined using the effective interest rate. The difference between the nominal amount and the initial measurement of debt is recognized in profit or loss as interest expense over the period of debt.

Transaction costs comprise commission paid to advisers, agents, and brokers and levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges.

For long-term debt that is hedged with derivatives hedging against changes in fair value, the measurement of hedged debt is adjusted for changes in fair value. Changes in the fair value of such debt are recognized in profit or loss and reported in the statement of income in Other financial expenses or Other financial income. The adjustment to the carrying amount of hedged long-term debt is subsequently recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest rate.

2.21. Nuclear Provisions

The Company makes a provision for nuclear decommissioning, a provision for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel and other radioactive waste, and a provision for the funding of subsequent permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and irradiated reactor components (see Note 17.1).

The provisions made correspond to the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The estimate, expressed at the price level at the date of estimate, is discounted using an estimated long-term real interest rate of 0.3% and 0.4% per annum as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, so as to take into account the timing of expenditure. Initial discounted costs are capitalized as part of property, plant, and equipment and then amortized for the duration of time for which nuclear power plants will generate electricity. The provision is increased by the estimated inflation and real interest rate annually. Such expenses are recognized in the statement of income in the line item Interest on provisions. The effect of the expected rate of inflation is estimated at 2.0% and 1.5% as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The process of nuclear power plant decommissioning is estimated to continue for approximately 50 years after the termination of electricity generation. It is assumed that a permanent repository for spent nuclear fuel will commence operation in 2065 and the disposing of stored spent nuclear fuel at the repository will continue until approximately 2090. Although the Company has made the best estimate of the amount of nuclear provisions, potential changes in technology, changes in safety and environmental requirements, and changes in the duration of such activities may result in actual costs varying considerably from the Company's current estimates.

Changes in estimates concerning the provisions for nuclear decommissioning and permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel resulting from new estimates of the amount or timing of cash flows required to settle these obligations or from a change in the discount rate are added to, or deducted from, the amount recognized as an asset in the balance sheet. Should the amount of the asset be negative, i.e., should the deducted amount exceed the amount of the asset, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.

2.22. Provision for Demolition and Dismantling of Coal-fired Plants

The Company has recognized provision for demolition and dismantling of coal-fired plants (see Note 17.2). The provision was created in 2021 in connection with the deepening of decarbonization targets at the EU level and in connection with the updating of the Company's strategy and signing up to accelerate the decarbonization of the generation portfolio, including setting a commitment to decommission all coal-fired plants by 2038 at the latest and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The provision created correspond to the best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date. The estimate, expressed at the price level at the date of estimate, is discounted using an estimated real interest rate of (0.4)% per annum as at December 31, 2021, in order to take into account the timing of expenditure. Initial discounted costs are capitalized as part of property, plant, and equipment and then depreciated over the period during which coal power plants will generate electricity. The provision is updated annually with regard to the estimated inflation and real interest rate. These expenses are recognized in the statement of income in the line item Interest on provisions. The effect of the expected rate of inflation is estimated at 2.0% as at December 31, 2021.

Although the Company has made the best estimate of the amount of provision for demolition and dismantling of coal-fired plants, potential changes in technology, changes in safety and environmental requirements, and changes in the duration of such activities may result in actual costs varying considerably from the Company's current estimates.

Changes in estimates concerning the provision resulting from new estimates of the amount or timing of cash flows required to settle these obligations or from a change in the discount rate are added to, or deducted from, the amount recognized as an asset in the balance sheet. Should the amount of the asset be negative, i.e., should the deducted amount exceed the amount of the asset, the difference is recognized directly in profit or loss.

2.23. Leases

mini

Determining whether a contract is, or contains, a lease is based on the economic substance of the transaction and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the contractual obligation is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and whether the contract conveys a right to use the asset.

The Company does not apply IFRS 16 to leases of intangible assets.

2.23.1. Company as a Lessee

The Company uses a consistent approach to the reporting and measurement of all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company accounts for future lease payments as lease liabilities and recognizes right-of-use assets, which represent a right to use the underlying assets. Lease payments for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

a) Lease Liability

At the commencement date of a lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of the lease payments that are to be made over the lease term. Lease payments comprise fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be payable 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 those payments occurs.

When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses an incremental interest rate at the commencement date of the lease because the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased by accrued interest and decreased by the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a lease modification, i.e., a change in the lease term, a change in lease payments (e.g., changes in future payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine the amount of the lease payment), or a change in the assessment of the 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 interest rate using observable inputs, such as market interest rates.

The Company uses judgment to determine the expected lease term for contracts made for an indefinite time.

b) Right-of-Use Assets

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date when the underlying assets are available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses and adjusted for any reassessment of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets comprises the amount of recognized lease liabilities, initial direct costs, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the lease term or the estimated life of the assets as follows:

Depreciation period
(years)
Lands 4—21
Buildings 8—12
Vehicles, machinery and equipment 3—42
Inventory and other tangible assets 10—17

2.23.2. Company as a Lessor

The Company leases out its tangible assets including own tangibles and right-of-use assets. The Company has classified the leases as financial or operating leases. Operating lease is a lease whereby the Company does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of assets.

Lease income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and included as income in profit or loss due to their operating nature.

For the leases classified as finance leases, the Company recognizes a net investment in the lease measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term, increased by any unguaranteed residual value of the leased asset at the end of the lease, which is not conditioned by future cash flow. In calculating the present value of net investment in the lease, the Company 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 Company uses the discount rate used for the head lease.

2.24. Treasury Shares

Treasury shares are reported in the balance sheet as an item reducing equity. The acquisition of treasury shares is recognized in the statement of changes in equity as a deduction from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the statement of income on the sale, issue, or cancellation of treasury shares. Consideration received is recognized in financial statements as a direct increase in equity.

2.25. Foreign Currency Transactions

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into the Czech currency at the exchange rate applicable at the date of the accounting transaction as published by the Czech National Bank for that date. In annual financial statements, such monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate applicable at December 31. Exchange differences arising on the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss, except when exchange differences arise in connection with a liability that is classified as an effective hedge of cash flows. Such exchange differences are recognized directly in equity.

Exchange differences on financial assets are described in Note 2.12.1.

The Company used the following exchange rates to translate assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at December 31, 2021 and 2020:

2021 2020
CZK per 1 EUR 24.860 26.245
CZK per 1 USD 21.951 21.387
CZK per 1 PLN 5.408 5.755
CZK per 1 BGN 12.711 13.417
CZK per 1 RON 5.023 5.391
CZK per 100 JPY 19.069 20.747
CZK per 1 TRY 1.631 2.880
CZK per 1 GBP 29.585 29.190
CZK per 100 HUF 6.734 7.211

2.26. Assets Classified as Held for Sale

Assets and disposal groups of assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Assets and groups of assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is considered met only if the sale is highly probable and the asset or group of assets is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Company management must take steps toward the sale of the asset or group of assets so as to complete the sale within one year from the date of the classification of the assets or group of assets as held for sale.

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

Testing Assets for Impairment

The Company's generation assets are tested for potential impairment as a single cash-generating unit except for specific assets such as the CCGT plant at Počerady. The cash-generating unit of the Company's generation assets is characterized by portfolio management in the deployment of generating facilities, in their maintenance, and in the cash flows arising from this activity.

Testing of the recoverable amount of non-current assets of the ČEZ, a. s., cash-generating unit (hereinafter the ČEZ value) included an analysis of the sensitivity of test results to change in selected significant parameters of the model used – change in wholesale electricity prices (hereinafter the EE prices), the discount rate used in calculating the present value of future cash flows, and the CZK/EUR exchange rate.

A key assumption of the ČEZ value model is developments in commodity prices and, most importantly, developments in the wholesale price of electricity in Germany, which has a profound impact on developments in wholesale electricity prices in Czech Republic. Developments in wholesale prices are determined primarily by the EU's political decisions, developments in global commodity demand and supply, and technological progress.

Developments in EE prices are affected by a number of external factors, in particular changes in the structure and availability of generating facilities in Czech Republic and its neighboring countries, macroeconomic developments in the region of Central Europe, and energy sector regulation in the EU and Germany (fundamental impacts of the premature decommissioning of nuclear plants in Germany 2022, the EU's approved climate and energy targets for 2030). The model is built for a period matching the operating life of generating facilities, which means that its time frame greatly exceeds the period for which commodities, including wholesale electricity price contracts, are traded in public liquid markets. In addition, there have been structural changes in the electricity market ("Market Design") and substantial sector regulation, so it is really possible that market mechanisms for electricity pricing will be abandoned completely and alternative, centrally regulated payments for the availability and deliveries of generating facilities will be introduced within the lifetime of generating facilities.

Due to the long-term nature of the model, the sensitivity of the ČEZ value to developments in electricity prices is also affected by internal factors and assumptions. These are, in particular, generation portfolio deployment varying with different changes in the prices of electricity, emission rights, and variable generation costs and, in the longer term, also with respect to changes in fixed costs reflecting changes in the gross margin of generating facilities.

In determining the ČEZ value, estimates of the impacts of covid-19 were taken into account, which in 2021 was considered an indicator of a possible impairment of the Company's assets. All future cash flows reflect all factors, including covid-19. However, the reliability of the estimate of the long-term effects of the covid-19 on the Company is considerably limited due to the uncertainty of the extent of the effects of the pandemic itself and of countries' countermeasures on economic growth, unemployment and debt growth in relevant European countries.

The impact of covid-19 alone cannot be reliably quantified, as overall aggregate demand and supply and economies in general are affected by many more important macroeconomic factors, such as world commodity prices, national GDP developments and regulation at EU level.

From the point of view of the medium-term perspective, the negative impact of covid-19 is limited also with regard to the high level of cash flow hedging. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 88% of expected generation for 2022 has been contracted, for 2023 approximately 60% has been contracted and for 2024 approximately 28%. Along with these presales of electricity, the emission rights for emission sources have been contracted.

The impact of the covid-19 in the coming years will depend mainly on the measures taken in individual countries and their impact on the overall development of the economy in Europe.

The result of the sensitivity test shown below reflects an expert estimation of the status and changes of the abovementioned factors within the modeled period time frame and the status of price and currency hedges for future generation as at December 31, 2021.

The test is based on the business plan of ČEZ for 2022–2026 and on the assumptions of long-term development of relevant electricity prices. The business plan was prepared in the fourth quarter of 2021 based on market parameters from October 2021 (electricity prices on the EEX energy exchange in Germany, prices on the PXE energy exchange in Czech Republic, prices of emission rights, foreign exchange rates, interest rates, etc.). Electricity contracts traded on EEX are liquid for the whole period covering the business plan time frame and the interconnectedness of the German and Czech transmission grids makes them a fundamental market indicator for EE prices in 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 ČEZ.

The Company did not recognize any impairment losses on generation assets in 2021 and 2020. A change in the assumed EE prices according to models by 1%, while other parameters remain unchanged, has an impact of approximately CZK 10.2 billion on the ČEZ value test result. Future cash flows were discounted at a rate of 4.7%. A change of 0.1 percentage point in the discount factor, while other parameters remain unchanged, would change the ČEZ value by approximately CZK 7.8 billion. A 1% change in the CZK/EUR exchange rate, while other parameters remain unchanged, would result in a change of approximately CZK 9 billion in the ČEZ value. Such changes in ČEZ value would not lead to an impairment.

4. Restricted Financial Assets, Net

Derivatives balance comprises mainly positive fair value of commodity trading contracts. The increase of short-term receivables from commodity derivatives in 2021 is mainly due to an increase in the market prices of emission rights, electricity and gas. Related increase of short-term liabilities from commodity derivatives is disclosed in Note 18.

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 could be exercised in 2024 for cash consideration of CZK 2 billion. The option agreement could have been inactivated until December 31, 2019, which the Company did not apply. These contracts represented derivatives that would be settled by the delivery of unquoted equity instrument. Elektrárna Počerady, a.s., is not quoted on any market. There was 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 has taken place) and thus it was difficult to reasonably assess the probabilities of various estimates. As a result, the fair value could not be reliably measured. Consequently, the put option is measured at cost. No option premium was paid when the contracts were concluded and therefore the cost of these instruments is zero. The second put option expired on the exercise of the sale on December 31, 2020.

Movements in impairment provisions of financial assets at amortized costs were as follows (in CZK millions):

Sale of 100% Share in Subsidiary Elektrárna Počerady in 2020

mini

On October 22, 2020, a share purchase agreement was signed for the sale of 100% share in subsidiary Elektrárna Počerady, a.s., (hereinafter EPC) to the company Vršanská uhelná a.s. The closing date of the transaction was on December 31, 2020 after the prior approval of Office for the Protection of Competition. At the same time this canceled the previous arrangement for the sale of a 100% share in EPC, which has already been concluded between the parties with the date of realization of January 2, 2024 for a purchase price CZK 2.0 billion. According to the new agreement the initial purchase price amounts to CZK 2.5 billion and is due on November 30, 2023.

The transaction includes an agreement between the parties to terminate the existing contract for the purchase of coal from the company Vršanská uhelná a.s., under which the company ČEZ, a. s., was obliged to purchase 5 million tons of coal per year by the end of 2023, and conclusion of a new contract for the purchase of 5 TWh of electricity per year by ČEZ, a. s., from subsidiary of the Vršanská uhelná group for the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023 for a fixed price of CZK 700/MWh plus the cost for the emission right required for the supply of 1 MWh of electricity.

The present value of the total contractual transaction price including adjustments to take into account the amount of working capital as at the closing date is CZK 8,861 million. The part of the transaction price attributable to the sale of shares is CZK 7,056 million, the remaining value of CZK 1,805 million corresponds to the fair value of the terminated contract for the purchase of coal and the new contract for the purchase of electricity. Part of the total transaction price in the amount of CZK 4,500 million was settled as of the closing date of the transaction by offsetting part of receivables from the sale and liabilities arising from Group's cashpooling.

In connection with the realization of this transaction, the contracts for the sale of electricity and purchase of emission rights, concluded in the past as cash-flow hedge for EPC operations for years 2021 to 2023 (so-called "own-use" contracts and hedging contracts abroad), were reclassified to derivatives, respectively hedge accounting was terminated, because future sales of electricity from the Company's own generation is no longer probable. The corresponding amounts of the hedge accounting were transferred from the other comprehensive income to the income statement. The current contracts for the supply of coal from the company Vršanská uhelná a.s., (originally an "own use" contract where the physical delivery for the needs of the Company was assumed, therefore such a contract was not within the scope of IFRS 9) was prematurely terminated by this transaction with financial settlement included in the total transaction price and for this reason the fair value of this contract was recognized in the income statement.

The total impact of the transaction on the income statement is given in the following table (in CZK million):

Statement of income line Description Impact in 2020
Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading Termination of hedging including reclassification of "own-use" into derivatives 1,274

Capital Structure Management

The primary objective of the Company's capital structure management is to maintain its credit rating at an investment grade and a level that is standard in the sector and to maintain a healthy ratio of equity to borrowed capital to support the Group's business and maximize value for shareholders. The Company monitors its capital structure and makes adjustments to it with a view to changes in the business environment.

The Company primarily monitors its capital structure using the net debt-to-EBITDA ratio. Considering the current structure and stability of its cash flows and its development strategy, the Group aims to keep the ratio at 2.5–3.0. The Company also monitors its capital structure using the total debt-to-total capital ratio. The Company aims to keep the ratio below 50% in the long term.

EBITDA comprises earnings before taxes and other expenses and revenues plus depreciation and amortization and impairment of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets less gain (or plus loss) from sales of property, plant, and equipment. Total debt comprises long-term debt including the current portion and short-term borrowings. Net debt represents total debt less cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid financial assets. For the purposes of capital structure management, highly liquid financial assets comprise short-term and long-term debt financial assets and short-term and long-term deposits. Total capital is equity attributable to parent company shareholders plus total debt. These calculations always include items relating to assets held for sale, which are reported separately in the balance sheet.

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

2021 2020
Total long-term debt 112,571 150,843
Total short-term loans 25,310 984

15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction, which excludes a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value is determined as a quoted market price or a value obtained on the basis of discounted cash flow models or option pricing models.

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to determine the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments

The fair value of cash and other current financial assets is deemed to be the carrying amount due to their relatively short maturity.

Securities Held for Trading

The fair value of current equity and debt securities held for trading is based on their market price.

Non-current Debt and Equity Financial Assets

The fair value of non-current debt and equity financial assets that are publicly traded in an active market is based on their quoted market price. The fair value of non-current and equity financial assets that are not publicly traded in an active market is determined using appropriate valuation techniques.

Short-term Receivables and Payables

The fair value of receivables and payables is deemed to be the carrying amount due to their relatively short maturity.

Short-term Borrowings

The fair value of these financial instruments corresponds to the carrying amount due to their short maturity.

Long-term Debt

The fair value of long-term debt is deemed to be the market value of identical or similar instruments, or the measurement is based on current interest rates on debt with the same maturity. The fair value of long-term debt with a variable interest rate is deemed to be the carrying amount.

Derivatives

The fair value of derivatives corresponds to their market value.

15.1. Fair Value Hierarchy

mini

The Company uses and discloses financial instruments with the following structure according to the manner in which the fair value is determined:

Level 1: Measured at fair value using the market prices of identical assets and liabilities quoted in active markets.

Level 2: Measured at fair value using methods under which significant inputs are directly or indirectly derived from data observable in active markets.

Level 3: Measured at fair value using methods under which significant inputs are not derived from data observable in active markets.

For assets and liabilities that occur regularly or repeatedly in financial statements, the Company reviews categorization in levels of the fair value hierarchy (according to the lowest input level that is significant to the measurement of fair value as a whole) at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there have been any transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers between levels of financial instruments measured at fair value in 2021 and 2020.

As at December 31, 2021, the fair value hierarchy was the following (in CZK millions):

The Company negotiates derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, especially large groups operating in the energy sector and large financial institutions with high credit ratings. Derivatives that are measured by means of techniques using market inputs include, in particular, commodity forward and futures contracts, foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps, and options. The most frequently applied valuation methods use commodity price curves, swap models, present value calculations, and option pricing models (e.g., Black-Scholes, Black-76). The models use various inputs including the forward curves of underlying commodities, 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, 2021 and 2020 (in CZK millions):

The most significant investment in the portfolio of Equity financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income is a 15% interest in company Veolia Energie ČR, a.s. (see Note 5). The company's shares are not traded in any market. The fair value at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was determined using available public information on EBITDA and usual EBITDA multiples which corresponds to the purchase price of a 100% stake in a company in transactions observed in the market in the industry in question before adjustment for the amount of debt. The fair value at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was determined using 7 EBITDA multiple, 8 EBITDA multiple, respectively, as the best estimate of the fair value.

Equity financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include an investment in ČEZ's investment fund at Inven Capital, SICAV, a.s. (see Note 5). The fair value of the investment at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was determined by a valuation expert. The determination of fair value takes into consideration, in particular, capital contributions and other forms of funding recently provided by co-investors. In addition, the measurement takes into account future development and any subsequent significant events, such as received offers to buy a share.

Commodity derivatives measured at fair value in level 3 include cross-border electricity transmission rights (hereinafter referred to as "cross-border capacities"). Cross-border capacities are sold in auctions organized by auction offices covering transmission system operators or in auctions organized directly by transmission system operators. Cross-border capacities are not traded on an organized market. The fair value of cross-border capacities, which represents an estimate of the expected value of compensation for unused cross-border capacities, takes into account especially the acquisition price of purchased capacities and the forward prices of electricity in the respective countries.

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

The Company trades in derivatives under EFET and ISDA master agreements. The agreements allow mutual setoff of receivables and payables on early termination of contracts. The reason for early termination is the counterparty's insolvency or failure to fulfill agreed contract terms. All agreed contracts are settled financially on early termination. Their mutual setoff is either embedded in a contractual provision of the master agreements or results from the collateral provided. In addition, a CSA (Credit Support Annex) has been signed with several partners, defining the permitted limit of exposure between the partners. When the limit is exceeded, cash is transferred to reduce exposure below an agreed level. The deposited cash 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 are included in Other non-current financial assets, net; short-term derivative liabilities are included in Other current financial liabilities; and long-term derivative liabilities are included in Other non-current financial liabilities.

16. 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. Since 2021, a new uniform Enterprise risk management scheme is adopted by the Group to be applied to all group-level significant risks. For this level of risks, the scheme integrates, across the process areas of the whole Group, all decentral risk management activities into one, uniform and centrally coordinated process of group-level significant risks management, with the use of the software tool.

Risk Management Organization

mini

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. Since 2021, it also monitors overviews regarding new uniform Enterprise risk management scheme.

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 which are newly also subject to policies defined by new uniform Enterprise risk management scheme since 2021.

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 interval. 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).

16.1. 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, 2021 and 2020 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 all the above 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.

16.2. 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 emission rights, 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):

2021 2020
Monthly VaR (95%) – impact of changes in commodity prices 11,320 5,635

Currency Risks

mini

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 value of foreign currency cash flows from all contracted financial instruments, from expected foreign currency operational revenues and costs in 2022 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):

2021 2020
Monthly currency VaR (95% confidence) 437 231

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):

2021 2020
IR sensitivity to parallel yield curve shift (+10bp) 1 1

Credit Exposure

The Company is exposed to credit risk on all financial assets presented in the balance sheet as well as credit risk from provided guarantees. Credit exposure from provided guarantees that are not included in the balance sheet, as at December 31 (in CZK millions):

2021 2020
Guarantees provided to subsidiaries not recorded on balance sheet 3,767
Guarantees provided to joint-ventures not recorded on balance sheet 959
Total 8,059 4,726

Provided guarantees are, in particular, warranties for performed contracts and guarantees for bank loans and other liabilities of relevant companies. A beneficiary may only make a warranty claim under the conditions set out in the warranty document, usually following the nonpayment of an amount arising from the contract or on default. At present, companies whose obligations are covered by warranty meet their obligations. Warranties have various expiration dates; as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, the latest deadline for making a warranty claim is October 2053 and December 2030, respectively.

The committed credit facilities available to the Company as at December 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to CZK 15.2 billion and CZK 35.3 billion, respectively. In addition, in November and December 2021, the Company signed committed loan facility agreements with the European Investment Bank to support financing of the distribution grid renewal and further development program in the Czech Republic up to a total of EUR 400 million, which were not drawn as at December 31, 2021.

16.3. Hedge Accounting

The Company hedges cash flows arising from highly probable future revenue in EUR for the purposes of currency and interest risk hedging. The hedged cash flows are expected to occur in 2022–2026. The relevant hedging instruments as at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are the EUR denominated liabilities from the issued Eurobonds and bank loans in the total amount of EUR 3.3 billion and currency forward contracts and swaps. The fair value of these hedging derivatives was CZK (325) million and CZK (896) million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In addition, the Company hedges cash flows arising from highly probable future sales of electricity in Czech Republic, which will occur in 2022–2027. The relevant hedging instrument is futures and forward contracts for electricity sales in Germany. The fair value of these hedging derivatives was CZK (77,985) million and CZK (4,023) million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The result of this hedging strategy as at December 31, 2021 is that for 2022 approximately 88% of expected production in the Czech Republic was hedged at an average price EUR 68.3 per MWh, for 2023 approximately 60% production at an average price EUR 61.5 per MWh, for 2024 approximately 28% of expected production at an average price EUR 61.8 per MWh and for 2025 approximately 6% at an average price EUR 64.6 per MWh.

In 2021 and 2020, cash flow hedging amounts transferred from equity were reported in the statement of income in Sales of electricity, heat, and gas; Gains and losses from derivative commodity trading; Other financial expenses; and Other financial income and in the balance sheet in non-current Intangible assets, net, and Emission rights. CZK 284 million and CZK 371 million was recognized in profit or loss in 2021 and 2020, respectively, due to ineffectiveness of cash flow hedging. In 2021 and 2020, the ineffectiveness was primarily caused by the fact that the hedged future cash flows were no longer highly probable.

17. Provisions

The following is a summary of the provisions at December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in CZK millions):

17.1. Nuclear Provisions

mini

The Company operates two nuclear power plants. The Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant comprises four units commissioned for continuous operation in 1985 to 1987. The Temelín Nuclear Power Plant consists of two units that were commissioned for continuous operation in 2002 and 2003. The Nuclear Energy Act sets down obligations for nuclear facility decommissioning and disposal of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. In accordance with the Nuclear Energy Act, all the nuclear parts and equipment of a nuclear power plant must be disposed of after the end of operation. For the purpose of determining the amount of nuclear provisions, it is estimated that the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant will stop generating electricity in 2047; the Temelín plant in 2062. Studies for the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant and for the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant from 2020 assume that the costs of decommissioning of these power plants will reach the amount CZK 26.5 billion and CZK 21.0 billion, respectively. The Company makes contributions to a restricted bank accounts in the amount of the nuclear provisions recorded under the Nuclear Energy Act. These funds can be invested in government bonds in accordance with legislation. These restricted financial assets are reported in the balance sheet as part of the line item Restricted financial assets, net (see Note 4).

The Ministry of Industry and Trade established the Radioactive Waste Repository Authority (SÚRAO) as the central organizer and operator of facilities for the final disposal of radioactive waste and spent fuel. The SÚRAO operates, supervises and is responsible for disposal facilities and for disposal of radioactive waste and spent fuel therein. The activities of the SÚRAO are financed through a nuclear account funded by the originators of radioactive waste. Contribution to the nuclear account is stated by Nuclear Energy Act at 55 CZK per MWh produced at nuclear power plants. In 2021 and 2020, the payments to the nuclear account amounted to CZK 1,690 million and CZK 1,652 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 for estimated future expenses on nuclear decommissioning and interim storage and permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel in accordance with the principles described in Note 2.21.

The following is a summary of the nuclear provisions for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (in CZK millions):

Current cash expenditures (884) (1,690) (2,574)
Balance at December 31, 2021 41,757 9,972 41,446 93,175

The use of the provision for permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel in a current year comprises payments made to the government-controlled nuclear account and the use of the provision for interim storage represents, in particular, purchases of containers for spent nuclear fuel and other related equipment for these purposes.

In 2021, 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 in connection with the 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, change of expected contribution to the nuclear account per MWh in future years and change in discount rate.

In 2020, 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 studies for Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant and for Temelín Nuclear Power Plant and change in discount rate and the change in long-term spent fuel storage in connection with the extension of the expected production time of the nuclear power plants by 10 years and change in discount rate.

The actual costs of nuclear decommissioning, interim storage, and permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel may vary substantially from the above estimates due to changes in legislation or technology or increase in labor costs and the costs of materials and equipment, as well as due to a different timing of all activities relating to nuclear decommissioning and storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel.

The above values do not include planned acquisitions of subsidiaries, associates and joint-ventures.

The Company reviews regularly investment plan and actual construction may vary from the above estimates. At December 31, 2021 significant purchase commitments were outstanding in connection with the investment plan.

Insurance Matters

The Nuclear Energy Act sets limits for liabilities for nuclear damages so that the operator of nuclear installations is liable for up to CZK 8 billion per incident. The Nuclear Energy Act limits the liability for damage caused by other activities (such as transportation) to CZK 2 billion. The Nuclear Energy 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 the 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 Company 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 Company.

38. Events after the Balance Sheet Date

In connection with the conclusion of an agreement, issue and repurchase of investment shares for the newly created sub-fund on January 3, 2022 with Inven Capital, SICAV, a.s., the issue price of the subscribed investment shares was paid in the amount of CZK 1 billion.

Since February 24, 2022, there has been a military conflict in Ukraine. The Company intensively evaluates the potential impacts, including the effects of the consequent sanctions, that have been imposed on the Russian Federation. The Company does not expect the immediate effects to be significant. In the short term, due to increased volatility in commodity markets, there is an increased liquidity need for so-called margin calls arising from counterparty requirements related to derivative contracts. The impacts on the Company in the medium term will depend on the further development of the conflict in Ukraine, on the specific form and duration of sanctions against the Russian Federation and their consequences for European and Czech energy sector. As the main risks for the Company are considered the potential impacts on securing supplies of nuclear fuel, ensuring the maintenance of generation facilities, securing gas purchases for end customers, and the risk that Russian companies will not be able to fulfill other concluded contracts or make financial settlements according to previously concluded contracts and agreed financial instruments. The Company has the highest credit exposure from the concluded commodity contracts for the purchase of electricity and gas from the company Gazprom Marketing & Trading with the seat in the United Kingdom, when, as at December 31, 2021, the fair value of commodity derivatives for the purchase of electricity was CZK 3,307 million and for the gas purchase was CZK 2,582 million. The Company also has a significant credit exposure from commodity gas contracts from Gazprom Export with the seat in the Russian Federation, when, as at December 31, 2021, the fair value of commodity derivatives for gas purchase was CZK 2,149 million. Up to the approval of these separate financial statements for issue, the obligations of these companies have been fulfilled, as have been the obligations arising from business contracts for the supply of goods and services by the suppliers from Russian Federation.

On March 14, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a dividend proposal for 2021 in the amount of CZK 44 per share before tax.

These separate financial statements have been authorized for issue on March 14, 2022.

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 2021, 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 2021, 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 30. 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 15. 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 2021 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 2.14. Commodity Contracts and 23. 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.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

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.
