YEAR-ON-YEAR CHANGE IN EBITDA BY SEGMENT

Main causes of year-on-year change in Q1–Q3 EBITDA:

• Higher realization prices of generated electricity in Czechia, including the effect of hedges and commodity trading (CZK +6.8 bn)
• Higher expenses on emission allowances for generation in Czechia (CZK -1.2 bn) due to increased market prices and lower allocation of free allowances
• Extraordinary effect of a court decision under which the payment of SŽDC's liability to ČEZ Prodej from 2010 had to be returned including interest and costs (CZK -1.3 bn)

Note: Accounting in the Generation—Traditional Energy segment in the last period had an impact on financial results reported for Q1 and Q2 2019 (see details on page 24).

Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairments* (CZK -0.6 bn)

• Higher depreciation and amortization (CZK -0.3 bn), primarily at ČEZ Distribuce, ČEZ Energo (fully consolidated since mid-2018), and ČEZ Korporátní služby
• Higher additions to impairments of Bulgarian (CZK -0.6 bn) and Romanian (CZK -0.1 bn) assets
• Lower additions to impairments of Czech assets, including goodwill write-off (CZK +0.4 bn)

Other Income (Expenses) (CZK -0.2 bn)

• Higher interest expenses (CZK -0.3 bn), higher interest revenue (CZK +0.1 bn)
• Positive y-o-y difference in income and expenses from equity investments and securities (CZK +1.0 bn), primarily due to depreciation of the Turkish lira in 2018
• Other (CZK -1.0 bn), primarily loss on financial derivatives and loss on other finance income and expenses

Net Income Adjustments

• Net income in Q1–Q3 2019 adjusted for negative effects amounting to (CZK +1.1 bn), including impairments of fixed assets in Bulgaria of CZK +1.0 bn and in Romania of CZK +0.1 bn
• Net income in Q1–Q3 2018 adjusted for the negative effect of additions to ČEZ provisions corresponding to the value of potential partial performance under a guarantee provided for Akcez group companies' loans due to continued weakening of the TRY/USD exchange rate in Q3 2018 (CZK +1.4 bn), for the negative effect of fixed asset impairments in Bulgaria (CZK +0.4 bn), and for the negative effect of fixed asset impairments including goodwill write-off in Czechia (CZK +0.4 bn)

Note: Accounting in the last period had an impact on financial results reported for Q1 and Q2 2019 (see details on page 24).

WE REFINE THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 2019, ESTIMATING EBITDA AT CZK 58 BN, ADJUSTED NET INCOME AT CZK 17 TO 18 BN

Reasons for refining the outlook for EBITDA and net income as compared to the outlook from Aug 13:

• Fulfilled risk of returning the payment of SŽDC's liability to ČEZ Prodej from 2010 of CZK 1.3 bn due to a decision of the court
• Higher profit on commodity trading and higher margin on electricity sales

Key assumptions for the current prediction:

• Estimated electricity generation at CEZ Group generating facilities totaling 65.5 TWh, including 30.4 TWh at nuclear plants
• Estimated average realization price of generated electricity in Czechia of approx. 38 EUR/MWh*

Selected prediction risks and opportunities:

• Availability of generating facilities
• Consolidation and other effects

* This is the result of hedges from past years, deals made in 2019, and the current market valuation of remaining, still unsold, estimated generation in Q4 2019.

SALE OF ROMANIAN ASSETS—PROCESS STARTED, INDICATIVE OFFERS EXPECTED BY END OF YEAR

• The selling process started officially on Sep 9, 2019. More than 30 prospective buyers expressed interest in buying the assets.
• The first stage of the sale will be completed by screened prospective buyers submitting their offers in December 2019.
• Following an evaluation of the bids, we expect binding bids to be submitted in Q2 2020 and an agreement to be signed with the winner of the tender. Transaction completion is expected in H1 2021.

SALE OF POLISH ASSETS—PREPARATORY STEPS STARTED

• Preparatory steps are underway for starting the selling process for Polish assets. Prospective buyers of the assets are expected to be contacted by the end of H1 2020.
• We expect indicative bids to be submitted in the fall of 2020 and an agreement with the tender winner to be signed and the transaction to be completed in 2021.

SALE OF BULGARIAN ASSETS—COMPETITION AUTHORITY DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTION, WE ARE EVALUATING FURTHER STEPS

• An agreement to sell our Bulgarian assets to Eurohold was made in June 2019. On Aug 2, Eurohold filed an application for transaction approval with the Bulgarian competition authority. The authority started proceedings on Oct 3, more than two months after the filing.
• Although Eurohold does not own any energy assets, the Bulgarian competition authority ordered an in-depth review of the transaction on Oct 10, extending the deadline for issuing its decision until mid-March 2020.
• However, the authority did not make use of the extension, dismissing Eurohold's application for transaction approval on Oct 24.
• An administrative action was brought against the competition authority's decision by both ČEZ and Eurohold.

SELECTED EVENTS IN THE PAST QUARTER

In September, CEZ Group acquired a 76% stake in Polish company EUROKLIMAT with an option to purchase a further stake up to 100%

• EUROKLIMAT, a company with twenty years of experience in the market, is a general contractor for technical equipment of buildings and a Polish HVAC market leader. It provides design, installation, maintenance, and warranty and postwarranty service in collaboration with leading global manufacturers of A/C, cooling, and ventilation equipment.
• The company with 223 employees had a total turnover of almost CZK 1.5 bn in 2018

INVEN CAPITAL, CEZ Group's investment fund, acquired a minority stake in German company ZOLAR GmbH

• ZOLAR provides digital solutions for rooftop photovoltaic installations and photovoltaic & battery packages
• The innovative company's key product is an online configurator that allows customers to enter their requirements, offers them a specific solution, and puts them in contact with a contractor over the Internet

Ministry of the Environment issued a favorable binding opinion on the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of a new nuclear power plant at Dukovany on Aug 30, 2019.

• The EIA opinion is valid for 7 years after the date of issue and can be renewed for 5 years, repeatedly, unless there have been changes in conditions in the area concerned or in assessment expertise and methods
• It contains 47 binding environmental conditions to mitigate and compensate for project impacts on the environment and the populace for each project stage (preparation, implementation, operation, and monitoring and analysis of environmental impacts)

ČEZ entered into a partnership agreement with U.S. company NuScale in September. The agreement provides for sharing small modular reactors know-how and assessing options for their deployment in Czechia

• An advantage of small reactors is anticipated mass production with assembly directly in manufacturing plants
• Specifically, a small basic 60 MWe unit/module is being verified, with the project anticipating a collection of up to twelve modules in a single power plant. The project is undergoing licensing in the U.S.
• The company aims to put the first commercial reactor into operation in Idaho in 2027

LONG-TERM LAWSUIT WITH SŽDC NEGATIVELY AFFECTED Q3 RESULTS (CZK -1.3 BN)

Suit for damages on grounds of SŽDC's failure to fullfill its obligation to take electricity in 2010

• ČEZ Prodej incurred a damage of CZK 0.8 bn in 2010 due to SŽDC's failure to purchase the contracted amount of electricity (amounting to 1.3 TWh). To be able to fullfill its contractual obligation to deliver electricity to SŽDC in 2010, ČEZ Prodej made purchasing arrangements, then electricity market prices dropped and SŽDC refused to purchase the contracted amount or compensate ČEZ Prodej for the financial loss before actual deliveries for 2010 started.
• The court admitted ČEZ Prodej's action and SŽDC paid the claimed amount of CZK 0.8 bn plus interest and costs of CZK 0.3 bn in 2015, filing a final appeal. The court of final appeal overturned the prior judgments in 2017, courts dismissed the action in subsequent proceedings, and the dismissive judgments came into effect in August 2019. A complaint with the Constitutional Court and a final appeal with the Supreme Court were filed simultaneously.

Subsequent lawsuit in which SŽDC sues ČEZ Prodej for the repayment of CZK 1.1 bn

• In a separate lawsuit, SŽDC has claimed repayment of the amount paid by SŽDC under the enforceable judgment from 2015 since 2017. The court of first instance admitted the motion in 2018. ČEZ Prodej appealed against the judgment.
• In September 2019, the court affirmed the judgment of the court of first instance, regarding itself to be bound, just like the court of first instance, by the arguments presented by judgments in the suit for damages originating in 2010. According to the judgments, SŽDC is not liable for the breach of its obligation to purchase the contracted amount of electricity due to circumstances excluding its liability allegedly resulting from a change in regulation by the Energy Act independent of SŽDC's will.
• ČEZ Prodej paid SŽDC a total of CZK 1.3 bn (CZK 1.1 bn + interest and costs of CZK 0.2 bn) on Oct 9, 2019, in accordance with the enforceable decision but will file a final appeal with the Supreme Court by Dec 9, 2019, because it believes that the alleged circumstance excluding liability did not occur in the given case and SŽDC's obligation to purchase the contracted amount of electricity was not affected by the change in legal regulation in any way.

The court decision of September 2019 negatively affected EBITDA achieved by ČEZ Prodej and thus CEZ Group in Q3 2019 (CZK -1.3 bn).

Note: A similar lawsuit over SŽDC's payment for a breach of its obligation to purchase electricity in 2011 is still underway, with ČEZ Prodej claiming damages of CZK 0.9 bn. ČEZ Prodej filed a motion on Aug 27, 2019, to suspend the proceeding until the court of final appeal makes its decision on the action for damages originating in 2010. The court granted the suspension; its decision is not yet final.

Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairments* (CZK +0.2 bn)

• Higher depreciation and amortization (CZK -0.2 bn), primarily at ČEZ Distribuce and ČEZ Prodej
• Lower additions to impairments of Bulgarian assets (CZK +0.1 bn)
• Lower additions to impairments of Czech assets, including goodwill write-off (CZK +0.3 bn)

Other Income (Expenses) (CZK -0.1 bn)

• Higher interest expenses (CZK -0.1 bn)
• Positive y-o-y difference in income and expenses from equity investments and securities (CZK +0.8 bn), primarily due to the fall of the Turkish lira in 2018
• Other (CZK -0.9 bn), primarily loss on financial derivatives and loss on other finance income and expenses

Net Income Adjustments

• Q3 2019 net income adjusted for the negative effect of impairments of fixed assets in Bulgaria (CZK +0.4 bn)
• Q3 2018 net income adjusted for the negative effects of additions to ČEZ provisions corresponding to the value of potential partial performance under a guarantee provided for Akcez group companies' loans due to continued weakening of the TRY/USD exchange rate in Q3 2018 reflecting Turkey's macroeconomic and political developments (CZK +1.4 bn), for the negative effect of impairments of fixed assets in Bulgaria (CZK +0.4 bn), and for the negative effect of impairments of fixed assets including goodwill write-off in Czechia (CZK +0.3 bn)

Note: Accounting in the last period had an impact on financial results reported for Q1 and Q2 2019 (see details on page 24).

INFORMATION ON ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES WITH IMPACT ON RESULTS REPORTED FOR Q1 AND Q2 2019

Accounting in the past period had an impact on financial results reported for Q1 and Q2 2019. Commodity derivatives that hedge the price risks of future sales of generated electricity with delivery in 2019 were reflected in the Q1 and Q2 results of ČEZ, a. s. (Generation—Traditional Energy segment) in accordance with the current methodology for accounting for derivatives.

At the same time, the internal policy, which defines calculation procedure and the way of tracking of development of fair value of commodity derivatives and its classification for IFRS purposes, was updated. The update of the procedure reflects extension of the existing strategy for hedging of price risks on an annual basis by hedging of commodity risks on electricity generation during the year in order to reduce the volatility of quarterly financial results.

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 reports' users with additional information for their assessment of the financial position and performance of CEZ Group or ČEZ. In general, these indicators are also commonly used in other commercial companies, not only in the energy sector.

Indicator
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, e.g., 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).
	The components of the indicator, except for Highly Liquid Financial Assets, are included in the IFRS statement, with items related to assets held for sale are presented separately on the balance sheet.
Adjusted Net Income (After-Tax Income, Adjusted)	Purpose: This is a supporting indicator, intended primarily for investors, creditors, and shareholders, which allows interpreting achieved financial results with the exclusion of extraordinary, usually nonrecurring effects that are generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance and value creation in a given period.
	Definition: Net income (after-tax income) +/− additions to and reversals of impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill +/− additions to and reversals of impairments of developed projects +/− other extraordinary effects that are generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given year and value creation in a given period +/− effects of the above on income tax.
Dividend per Share (Gross)	Purpose: The indicator expresses a shareholder's right to the payment of a share in a joint-stock company's profits (usually for the past year) corresponding to the holding of one share. The subsequent payment of the share in profits is usually subject to taxes, which may be different for different shareholders; therefore, the value before taxes is reported.
	Definition: Dividend awarded in the current year, before taxes, per outstanding share (paid in the reported year from the profits of prior periods).
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.
