WHOLESALE ELECTRICITY PRICE IN CZECHIA IS AMONG THE LOWEST IN THE EU
THE MAIN TRENDS IN EUROPE'S ENERGY SECTOR REMAIN UNCHANGED
Traditional energy is stagnating but remains an indispensable part of the energy sector
- Electricity consumption is stagnating or decreasing
- Surplus of capacities, renewables (RES) are displacing conventional sources
- Pressure on margins from regulators and also new players
RES and decentralized energy are growing
- RES and decentralized solutions represent the energy sector's future and thus the largest investment opportunity
- Main RES technologies are achieving cost-efficiency, which allow curtailing subsidies
- Development and consolidation of technology companies (e.g., Tesla or GE) result in decreasing costs of decentralized electricity generation and electricity storage
Customers are focusing on complex services related to energy utilization
- B2C segment: growing interest in energy, active management of consumption and own production
- B2B segment: outsourcing of energy and facility management as a whole in progress
IMPACT OF ELECTRICITY PRICE DECLINE ON CEZ IS MITIGATED AND DELAYED BY ACTIVE MEASURES
… WHICH IS ALSO CONFIRMED BY CEZ SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENT
5Spin-off of Uniper from E.ON took place on 12 Sept 2016. E.ON share price has not been adjusted for this fact prior the date.
ČEZ'S STRATEGY IS BASED ON THREE PRIORITIES SELECTED EVENTS IN 2016
Be among the best in the operation of conventional power facilities and proactively respond to the challenges of the 21st century II III
- We received an operating license for Unit 1 of the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant for an indefinite period of time
- We completed renovation of the brown coal-fired Prunéřov power plant
- Our medium-term Czech portfolio operation strategy was updated in relation to changes in electricity prices and regulatory conditions relating to emission reduction
- Mining license obtained for underground mining at Nástup Mines
- We keep developing projects for new nuclear units at Temelín and Dukovany; we started the EIA procedure for a new unit at Dukovany
Offer customers a wide range of products and services addressing their energy needs
- ČEZ Prodej became the second largest gas supplier in Czechia
- Offer of services focusing on household customers widened to include services related to energy comfort at home
- We acquired 100% shares in AZ Klima a.s. and juwi (now ČEZ Solární), purchased remaining 25% in EVČ and founded ČEZ LDS
- We joined startup accelerator Rockstart to be in touch with the latest innovative customer solutions
- We purchased the first alternative electricity and gas seller, Energie2 Prodej.
Strengthen and consolidate our position in Europe
- We entered the German RES market; CEZ Group acquired 39 operated onshore wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 98 MW
- We invested in tado and ETF and increased our shareholding in sonnen
- We commenced arbitration with Bulgaria for investment nonprotection
- Standard & Poor's affirmed ČEZ's credit rating of A− with a stable outlook in December 2016
- Assured shareholders' dividend for 2015 amounts to CZK 21.5bn
FULFILLMENT OF AMBITIONS 2020 ALSO PROGRESSING WELL, MEASURES TAKEN AND INVESTMENTS MADE ALREADY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL EBITDA OF CZK 4BN

WE EXPECT 2017 EBITDA OF CZK 52BN, ADJUSTED NET INCOME OF CZK 12BN TO CZK 17BN
Note: y-o-y net income decline is negatively influenced by increased depreciation and amortization and lower interest capitalization (approximately CZK 5bn in total) primarily due to completion of comprehensive renovation of Prunéřov Power Plant in 2016 and due to expected completion of new coal-fired unit in Ledvice.
THE TREND OF DECREASING WHOLESALE ELECTRICITY PRICES DETERMINES EBITDA AT ALL EUROPEAN COMPARABLE ENERGY COMPANIES
ČEZ DIVIDEND POLICY—EXPANDING PAYOUT RATIO TO 60%–100% OF CEZ GROUP'S ADJUSTED NET INCOME UNTIL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY SPECIFICATION
Rationale behind the change of payout ratio to 60%–100%:
- Increased ratio between generated operating cash flows and net income
- Proposed dividend in the given range out of a given year's profits will reflect the cash flows generated in the given year and the development strategy for future periods
- Company expects the percentage range to be narrowed within two years following development strategy specification

Methods Used to Calculate Indicators Unspecified in IFRS
In accordance with ESMA guidelines, ČEZ provides detailed information on indicators that are not reported as standard in IFRS statements or the components of which are not directly available from standardized statements (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 | |
|---|---|
| Net debt | Purpose: The indicator shows the real level of a company's financial debt, i.e. the nominal amount of debt net of cash, cash equivalents, and highly liquid financial assets held by the company. The indicator is primarily used to assess the overall appropriateness of the company's debt, for example, in comparison with selected corporate profit or balance sheet indicators. |
| Definition: Long-Term Debt, Net of Current Portion + Current Portion of Long-Term Debt + Short-Term Loans − (Cash and Cash Equivalents + Highly Liquid Financial Assets). |
|
| Adjusted Net Income (After-Tax Income, Adjusted) |
Purpose: This is a supporting indicator, intended primarily for investors, creditors, and shareholders, that allows interpreting achieved financial results with the exclusion of extraordinary, usually nonrecurring effects that are generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance and value creation in a given period. |
| Definition: Net Income (After-Tax Income) +/− additions to and reversals of impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets including goodwill +/− additions to and reversals of impairments of developed projects +/− other extraordinary effects that are generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given year and value creation in a given period +/− effects of the above on income tax. |
|
| Definition change from the last published version of November 8, 2016 (included in Q1–Q3 2016 results): adjustment for profit/loss from sale of subsidiaries was removed from the definition because of CEZ Group's development strategy. |
|
| Dividend per Share (Gross) | Purpose: The indicator expresses a shareholder's right to the payment of a share in a joint-stock company's profits (usually for the past year) corresponding to the holding of one share. The subsequent payment of the share in profits is usually subject to taxes, which may be different for different shareholders; therefore, the value before taxes is reported. |
| Definition: Dividend awarded in the current year, before taxes, per outstanding share (paid in the reported year from the profits of prior periods). |
|
| EBITDA (EBIT Before Depreciation and Amortization, Impairments, and Asset Sales) |
Purpose: This is an important economic indicator showing a business's operating efficiency comparable to other companies, as it is unrelated to the company's depreciation and amortization policy and capital structure or tax treatment. It is one of the fundamental indicators used by companies to set their key financial and strategic objectives. |
| Definition: Earnings Before Taxes and Other Expenses and |
| Indicator | |
|---|---|
| Revenues + Depreciation and Amortization +/− Impairments of Property, Plant, and Equipment and Intangible Assets Including Goodwill (including Write-Off of Canceled Investments) + Sales of Property, Plant, and Equipment and Intangible Assets. |
|
| Net debt / EBITDA | Purpose: This indicates a company's capability to decrease and pay back its debt as well as its ability to take on additional debt to grow its business. CEZ Group uses this indicator primarily to assess the adequacy of its capital structure to the structure and stability of its expected cash flows. |
| Definition: Net Debt / EBITDA. The value for the past 12 months is used for EBITDA; the amount at the end of the period, i.e. at December 31 of the period in question, is used for Net Debt. |
Most of the components used in the calculation of individual indicators are directly shown in financial statements. The components of calculations that are not included in the financial statements are usually shown directly in a company's books and are defined as follows:
| As at Dec 31, | As at Dec 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 2016 | |
| Short-term equity securities available for sale | 946 | 0 |
| Short-term debt securities available for sale | 0 | 7 |
| Short-term debt securities held to maturity | 3,852 | 2,945 |
| Short-term deposits | 7,315 | 2,040 |
| Long-term deposits | 0 | 500 |
| Long-term debt securities available for sale | 676 | 4,646 |
| Highly liquid financial assets, total | 12,789 | 10,138 |
