  • EBIT grew by 7.8% year-on-year to CZK 13.0bn
  • Adjusted net income grew by 31.6% year-on-year to CZK 10.0bn

effects:

  • Trend of declining electricity prices
  • Lower settlement of unbilled electricity in the Czech Rep.

Selected year-on-year positive effects:

  • Higher electricity production
  • Resumed allocation of green certificates for Fântânele Vest and Cogealac
  • Higher internal efficiency

Selected prediction risks:

  • Availability of generating facilities in the Czech Republic
  • Developments in regulatory and legislative conditions for the energy sector in Europe

DUKOVANY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT OBTAINED LICENSE FOR OPERATION OF UNIT 1

ČEZ received a license for the further operation of Unit 1 on March 30

  • The license validity is not limited in time, but includes a set of conditions whose scheduling, financial, organizational, technical, and business impacts are being analyzed at the moment
  • The licensing process was preceded by the completion of a Consolidated Readiness Report on Unit 1 preparedness for long-term operation, which includes results of non-destructive tests of selected welded joints performed from 2000 to 2015

Concerning weld issues, a number of personnel, systemic, and organizational measures were adopted based on conclusions made by an internal committee of inquiry:

  • Several employees were removed from their offices; others have had their salaries significantly reduced
  • ČEZ's capacities will be boosted and ČEZ subsidiaries will be used at maximum (ÚJV Řež takes over from contractors the execution of selected non-destructive tests in nuclear power plants with effect from June 1, 2016)
  • A "third generation" of contracts with contractors is introduced (guaranteeing e.g. restrictions on contractor chains), a comprehensive control system for contractor performance and the quality checks of work performance
  • Internal measures simplifying the management and strengthening internal controls were adopted

CEZ GROUP ACQUIRED A STAKE IN GERMAN COMPANY TADO°, THE EUROPEAN LEADER IN SMART THERMOSTAT SALES

Smart thermostats of tado° company can save up to 31% of heating and air-conditioning costs

  • A smart thermostat controls temperature in a building as economically as possible, based on users' behavior and weather forecasts
  • The thermostat monitors boiler operation and sends a notification if an inspection is needed including appropriate service engineers' contact and information on their availability
  • Easy to control using a mobile app

CEZ Group acquired a minority stake, including a representation on the company's board of directors.

Development Team

ČEZ, a. s., DIVIDEND PROPOSAL FOR 2015

The dividend for 2015 is proposed to be CZK 40/share.

The proposal corresponds to 78% of CEZ Group's consolidated net income in 2015 adjusted for extraordinary effects and mirrors the Company's dividend policy (60–80% payout ratio)

Note: The above values of dividends per share correspond to dividends for a given year that are paid to shareholders in the following year as determined by the relevant General Meeting.

WHOLESALE MARKET AND CONSUMPTION CHANGES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

WHOLESALE MARKET

  • The wholesale price of electricity on the German market (CAL 17- 2017 baseload EEX) is trading around 25.0 EUR/MWh, the price on the Czech market (PXE) is approx. 0.2 EUR/MWh higher
  • The price of emission allowances is around 6.0 EUR/t EUA

ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC INCREASED *

  • Electricity consumption in the Czech Rep. increased by 1.9%
  • Temperature-and calendar-adjusted consumption increased by 0.3%

Consumption in the Distribution Area of ČEZ Distribuce

Extended outages at Dukovany NPP due to weld inspections

Czech Rep.- Coal-Fired Power Plants (+5%)

  • +Operation of Ledvice 4 Power Plant (new facility) during construction
  • + Operation of Prunéřov 2 Power Plant during comprehensive renovation

Poland - Coal-Fired Power Plants (-3%)

CASH FLOWS

Cash Flows From Operating Activities (CZK +15.2bn)

  • Income after adjustments (CZK +16.6bn): earnings before tax (CZK +12.2bn), depreciation and amortization of nuclear fuel (CZK +8.0bn), income tax paid (CZK -2.0bn), changes in provisions (CZK -1.3bn)
  • Changes in working capital (CZK -1.4bn): change in the balance of payables and receivables incl. advances and accruals/deferrals (CZK -6.4bn), decrease in inventories of emission allowances, fossil fuels, and materials (CZK +2.3bn), decrease in short-term securities and term deposits (CZK +1.2bn), other (CZK +1.5bn)

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities (CZK -5.7bn)

  • Investments in property, plant, and equipment—CAPEX (CZK -4.4bn); see details in slide Investments in Fixed Assets
  • Change in liabilities attributable to capital expenditure (CZK -1.4bn)

Cash Flows From Financing Activities (CZK +9.0bn)

Balance of loans made and loan repayments (CZK +9.5bn), change in other long-term liabilities (CZK -0.5bn)

INVESTMENTS IN FIXED ASSETS

Enhancement, drawn up after the events at the nuclear power plant at Fukushima, Japan

New nuclear power plants at Temelín & Dukovany— Preparation of projects for the construction of two units at both the Temelín and Dukovany sites continues in accordance with the approved National Action Plan for Nuclear Energy. Preparations are underway for spinning off the Temelín and Dukovany NNPPs into

subsidiaries, ETE II and EDU II SPVs.

Mining—Projects reacting to the progress of extraction in the two mines (deliveries, renovation, and upgrades of mining equipment and dressing and crushing plants, construction of stabilization measures and

water management structures)

Due to precise mathematical rounding, the sum of partial values can sometimes differ from the total value. 28

CREDIT FACILITIES AND BONDS

Bond Maturity Profile (as at Mar 31, 2016)

  • CEZ Group has access to CZK 30bn in committed credit facilities, using almost none as at Mar 31, 2016.
  • Committed facilities are kept as a reserve for covering unexpected needs.

Current credit rating:

  • S&P: A− with a stable outlook
  • Moody's: Baa1 with a stable outlook
  • A private placement issue totaling EUR 200m, with a 3M EURIBOR +0.55% coupon, maturing in 2018, was issued under the EMTN program in February and March.

BALANCE SHEET OVERVIEW

Fixed Assets

  • Decrease in property, plant, and equipment of CZK -2.9bn due to write-offs and decrease in nuclear fuel inventory, partially offset by investments in the renewal and construction of generating facilities and distribution grids
  • Increase in other fixed assets of CZK +3.7bn: primarily due to increase in long-term receivables from derivative trading of CZK +2.1bn and revaluation of MOL Nyrt. stock to its fair value of CZK +1.6bn

Equity and Long-Term Liabilities

  • Equity: increase in net income of CZK +10.0bn, other comprehensive income of CZK +3.5bn
  • Increase in long-term liabilities: primarily due to increase in issued bonds of CZK
  • +5.1bn and increase in long-term bank loans of CZK +3.0bn

Current Assets

  • Increase in cash and cash equivalents of CZK +18.4bn, receivables from derivatives incl. options of CZK +9.0bn, and income tax receivables of CZK +0.9bn
  • Decrease in net receivables of CZK -2.7bn
  • Decrease in inventories of emission allowances, fossil fuels, and materials of CZK -2.3bn
  • Decrease in liquid securities and short-term deposits of CZK -1.2bn

Short-Term Liabilities

  • Decrease in trade payables including advances of CZK -7.6bn, decrease in unbilled goods and services of CZK -1.9bn, decrease in provision on emission allowances of CZK -1.1bn, decrease in income tax payables of CZK -1.1bn
  • Increase in short-term payables from derivative trading incl. options of CZK +8.3bn, increase in current portion of long-term debt incl. short-term bank loans of CZK +1.2bn and other payables of CZK +1.0bn

MINING VOLUMES

  • Increase in saleable production of approx. 115,000 tons of coal primarily due to increased demand by ČEZ
  • Year-on-year increase in saleable production by 2.6 million tons of coal primarily attributable to expected increased consumption of thermal coal by ČEZ

SELECTED EVENTS IN LEGISLATION AND REGULATION CONCERNING RENEWABLES

Romania

On Apr 13, the Romanian regulator extended temporary accreditation for Fântânele Vest and Cogealac by 12 months. The temporary accreditation ensuring certificate allocation under applicable law until Sep 2, 2016 was thus extended until Sep 2, 2017.

Poland

  • Polish parliament decided to postpone the effect of the part of the renewables act concerning a new support scheme (auction system) by 6 months (newly effective from July 1, 2016). At present, specification of the conditions for each category of wind farms and specification of auctions timetable are in progress.
  • Additionally in February 2016, draft of an Investment Bill was submitted, which regulates conditions of development, construction, and operation of wind farms in Poland.
  • the most significant changes concern the turbines siting, specifying distances from urban areas and natural sites, taxation aspects and introduction of a fee for a technical turbine certification.
  • if approved, the proposal would negatively influence the whole wind sector in Poland, including the value of Eco-Wind project portfolio.
