WHOLESALE ELECTRICITY PRICE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC IS AMONG THE LOWEST IN EUROPE

WHOLESALE ELECTRICITY PRICES DECLINED BY ALMOST ADDITIONAL 11 EUR/MWH IN THE LAST YEAR

Breakdown of factors behind decline of wholesale electricity price in the last year EUR/MWh, base load 2017

DETERMINING FACTORS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF EUROPEAN ENERGY SECTOR

  • Lower demand for commodities worldwide
  • Subsequent decline of commodity prices, mainly of oil and coal, up to their variable production costs
  • Setting 2030 targets for renewables development and energy efficiency
  • Further regulatory intervention, mainly rules of the wholesale market

Technological development

  • Decline in investment costs and improvement of operating parameters of renewables
  • Fast development of technology for energy storage and for more flexible management of networks and consumption
  • New forms of customer communication

MAIN TRENDS OF EUROPEAN ENERGY SECTOR

Traditional energy sector is stagnating but remains an indispensable part

  • Stagnating or declining consumption
  • Surplus of capacities, renewables (RES) are displacing conventional sources
  • Margin pressure: regulators and also new players

RES and decentralized energy are growing

  • RES represent the largest investment opportunity
  • Main technologies are achieving efficiency, which allow curtailing subsidies
  • Development and consolidation of technology companies (i.e. Tesla or GE)
  • Fragmented integrators market

Customers are focusing on complex services related to energy utilization

  • B2C: increasing interest in energy, active management of consumption/own production
  • B2B: outsourcing of energy and facility management as a whole

DEVELOPMENT IN 2015 FULLY CONFIRMED THAT OUR STRATEGY, UPDATED IN 2014, IS THE RIGHT ONE

WHAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED ALREADY

  • Be among the best in the operation of conventional electricity generation and proactively respond to the challenges of the 21st century II III
  • 2014 dividend to our shareholders amounting to CZK 21.4 bn
  • We saved CZK 2.9 bn in fixed costs compared to year 2014
  • Mining limits have been extended for Bílina mine (possibility to extract additional 100 – 150 m tones of lignite)
  • We completed checks of welds on Units I., II. and III. of Dukovany nuclear power plant and submitted an application for operating license extension for Unit I.
  • We set up an SPV company for spinoff of projects of new plants in Temelín and Dukovany

Offer a wide range of products and services to customers, which address their energy needs

  • Stabilized portfolio of electricity customers, growing in gas (+36.9 th. connection points)
  • Customer satisfaction grew (mainly with price and with product and service offering) – from 77% to 84 %
  • We are offering roof top PV from CEZ – more than 100 signed contracts, thousands being negotiated
  • We gained majority stake (75%) in ENESA a.s. focused on EPC projects
  • 3 extensive technological "smart grids" projects are prepared in the Czech Rep.

ADJUSTED NET INCOME REACHED CZK 27.7 BN AND EXCEEDED CEZ EXPECTATIONS BY CZK 0.7 BN

CZK bn

ADJUSTED NET INCOME

Selected positive effects:

  • Higher savings of fixed operating costs
  • Partial refund of gift tax on emission allowances from years 2011 and 2012
  • Fulfillment of obligations of SŽDC from year 2010

Selected negative effects :

  • Lower availability of Dukovany nuclear plant
  • Lower availability of Temelín nuclear plant
  • Shift in completion of modernization of lignite power plants in the Czech republic (Ledvice and Prunéřov power plants)
  • Limiting support for wind parks in Romania
  • Lower settlement of volumes of invoiced electricity

IMPACT OF ELECTRICITY PRICE DECLINE ON FINANCIAL RESULTS AND ECONOMIC STABILITY OF CEZ IS MITIGATED AND DELAYED BY ACTIVE MEASURES

….WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENT

As at Q4 2015

Additional significant impairments can be expected in 2016 due to a quick drop in electricity wholesale prices in the past 3 months (of about 30%). Therefore, credit rating agencies undertook an extraordinary massive revision of ratings in the whole sector.

  • Standard & Poor's undertook a massive revision of European energy companies' credit ratings on February 26, 2016 (in connection with a drop in electricity wholesale prices). As part of the revision, companies such as EDF, RWE, EnBW, E.ON, Vattenfall, Verbund, and Engie were placed on "CreditWatch" (for potential rating downgrade).
  • CEZ's existing S&P credit rating was confirmed at A− level with a stable outlook.

DEVELOPMENT IN Q4 2015 EBITDA

CEZ Group EBITDA (CZK -1.0bn):

SELECTED EVENTS

(BEYOND THE SCOPE OF EVENTS MENTIONED IN THE PRESENTATION ITSELF)

Czech Republic

  • Nuclear power plants successfully defended a prestigious environmental certificate (Nov 2015); an environmental audit focusing on water management was carried out by the international audit firm Det Norske Veritas
  • Test operation of the new Ledvice Power Plant continues (its full capacity of 660 MWe was attained for the first time on Dec 9, 2015). Unit control adjustments, functional performance testing, and facility pre-certification for the provision of services in the electricity system underway
  • In the Prunéřov Power Plant renovation project, installation work was completed and commissioning is underway (complex testing is underway at B23 and B24 units, first synchronization of B25 unit was performed on Dec 19, 2015)

Abroad

  • Sale contract for the Akoçak, Turkey hydro power plant signed (Sep 2015)
  • Bulgaria's regulator issued a new price decision with effect from Nov 1, 2015 (as a result of commercial customers' pressure to decrease the final price of electricity). The tariff decision represents a price reduction of 2.43% for commercial customers. The decision results in a slight increase of 0.21% in the distribution margin and a decrease of 0.95% in the sales margin.
  • Notice of Dispute sent to the government of Bulgaria to officially notify it of the intent to initiate an international investment arbitration on grounds of failure to protect CEZ's investment. This step was taken after a number of interventions of Bulgarian institutions damaging the business of CEZ Group companies in the country and as a result of a long-term not-improving critical situation on the local energy market (Nov 2015).
  • We submitted a non-binding offer to buy the German assets of Vattenfall (Dec 2015)

Generation—TRADITIONAL Energy Generation—NEW Energy

Nuclear Power Plants (+12%)

+ Standard operation of Dukovany NPP and Temelín NPP

Coal-Fired Power Plants (+14%)

  • +Operation of Ledvice 4 Power Plant (new facility) following construction
  • +Operation of Prunéřov 2 Power Plant after comprehensive renovation
  • + Higher amount of coal burned at power plants in Poland and improved efficiency at Skawina Power Plant due to turbine upgrade in 2015

This generation prediction for 2016 is primarily facing the risk of delay in the full availability of the new unit at Ledvice and the renovated Prunéřov Power Plant and the risk of availability of nuclear power plants.

Czech Republic (+9%)

+Average hydrometeorologic conditions

Romania (+4%)

  • + Generation by hydro plants at Reṣița primarily due to better hydrometeorologic conditions
  • +Technical optimizations at wind farms

MINING IN 2016 WE EXPECT COAL MINING TO GROW BY 13%

  • The decrease in coal consumption of 0.6 million tons between 2015 and 2014 was due to a decrease in demand for power coal both by CEZ Group's power plants and heating plants and by heating plants outside CEZ Group
  • For 2016 we expect a growth in production by 2.6 million tons, primarily of power coal
