YEAR-ON-YEAR CHANGE IN EBITDA BY SEGMENT

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

  • Higher realization prices of generated electricity in Czechia, including the effect of hedges and commodity trading (CZK +2.0 bn)
  • Higher generation by nuclear power plants (CZK +0.5 bn)
  • Higher expenses on emission allowances for generation in Czechia (CZK -0.7 bn) due to increased market prices and lower allocation of free allowances
  • Lower gross margin on electricity and gas sales in Czechia primarily due to higher purchase expenses (CZK -0.4 bn)

Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairments* (CZK -0.4 bn)

  • Additions to impairments of fixed assets in Bulgaria (CZK -0.3 bn) and additions to impairments of fixed assets in Romania (CZK -0.2 bn)
  • Lower depreciation and amortization (CZK +0.1 bn)

Other Income (Expenses) (CZK -0.1 bn)

  • Higher interest expenses (CZK -0.1 bn)
  • Higher revenue from equity investments and securities in 2018 (CZK -0.1 bn)
  • Change in value of Inven Capital portfolio (CZK +0.1 bn)**

Net Income Adjustments

  • Net income in Q1 2019 was adjusted for negative effects amounting to CZK 0.5 bn, including impairments of fixed assets in Bulgaria (CZK +0.3 bn) and impairments of fixed assets in Romania (CZK +0.2 bn)
  • * Including profit/loss from sales of tangible and intangible fixed assets
  • ** The result of Inven Capital in Q1 2019 reflects only change in value for the period; CEZ Group's total profit from the sale of German company sonnen (from acquisition in 2015) was primarily reported in past years' profits because change in the market value of the investment was, in accordance with IFRS, remeasured in profits on a running basis

THE PROPOSAL FOR THE 2018 DIVIDEND OF CZK 24 PER SHARE CORRESPONDS TO 99% OF ADJUSTED NET INCOME

CZK bn

  • The Board of Directors of ČEZ, a. s., made a decision on the proposal for the 2018 dividend that is to be submitted for approval to the shareholders' meeting held on June 26, 2019.
  • Proposed dividend of CZK 24 per share corresponds to 99% of CEZ Group's 2018 consolidated net income adjusted for extraordinary effects.

WE CONFIRM THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 2019, ESTIMATING EBITDA AT CZK 57 TO 59 BN, ADJUSTED NET INCOME AT CZK 17 TO 19 BN

Key prediction assumptions:

  • Electricity generation of 68.8 TWh, including 31.2 TWh by nuclear plants
  • Estimated average realization price of generated electricity in Czechia, including the effect of hedges, is 39 EUR/MWh

Selected prediction risks and opportunities (reasons for using the interval):

  • Availability of generating facilities
  • New development acquisitions
  • Legal disputes (in particular, with SŽDC)
  • Divestment of Bulgarian assets

SELECTED EVENTS IN THE PAST QUARTER

NEGOTIATIONS ON THE SALE OF ASSETS IN BULGARIA CONTINUE WITH EUROHOLD

  • Following the Bulgarian competition authority's disapproval of the sale of its Bulgarian assets to Inercom, ČEZ entered into parallel negotiations with other prospective buyers of the Bulgarian assets for sale. The sale concerns a total of seven companies: CEZ Bulgaria, CEZ Elektro Bulgaria, CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria, CEZ Trade Bulgaria, CEZ ICT Bulgaria, Free Energy Project Oreshets, and Bara Group.
  • On Apr 1, 2019, ČEZ received binding offers to buy the Bulgarian assets in question from India Power and Eurohold.
  • On Apr 12, 2019, ČEZ decided to terminate the purchase agreement for the sale of the Bulgarian assets to Inercom. The reason was frustration of agreement conditions and, consequently, of the settlement of the agreement by the Bulgarian state's unlawful conduct.
  • After evaluation of the binding offers, Eurohold was granted exclusivity for finalizing the terms and conditions of the contract and arranging acquisition funding.

INVEN CAPITAL COMPLETED SUCCESSFUL SALE OF SONNEN AND PURCHASED MINORITY SHARES IN TWO ISRAELI COMPANIES

  • The total profit from the sale of a share in German company sonnen (manufacturer of battery storage systems) significantly exceeded CEZ Group's initial estimates. The profit for shareholders was approx. 100% of the purchase price of the share.
  • Minority shares acquired in Israeli companies:

DRIIVZ—End-to-end modular systems for electric mobility, compatible with approx. 80 of the most globally widespread types of charging equipment, used by approx. 300,000 drivers throughout the world

CyberX—Provider of comprehensive solutions for industrial cybersecurity, protecting two of five largest energy companies in the U.S. as well as large companies in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries

COMPLETED ACQUISITION OF WIND PARK DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN GERMANY WITH A CAPACITY OF 112.5 MW

CEZ Group formed a joint venture (50% JV) with German company Holt Holding Group.

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.
Compared to earlier releases, the value of the indicator at the
end of the current reporting period is compared with the value
of the indicator at the end of the previous accounting period.
This comparison better illustrates the development of the
indicator value.
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.

Definition: Net Debt / EBITDA. EBITDA is the running total for the past 12 months, i.e. EBITDA for the period from April 1 of previous year until March 31; Net Debt is the amount at the end of the period.

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:

Highly Liquid Financial Assets—component of Net Debt indicator (CZK millions):

As at Dec 31, As at Mar 31,
2018 2019
Current debt financial assets 1,287 1,291
Non-current debt financial assets 513 513
Current term deposits 505 2
Non-current term deposits - 0
Short-term equity securities - 0
Highly liquid financial assets, total 2,305 1,806

Adjusted Net Income indicator—individual components:

Adjusted Net Income (After-Tax Income, Adjusted) Unit Q1 2018 Q1 2019
Net income CZK millions 7,255 8,299
Impairments of property, plant, and equipment
and intangible assets
CZK millions (5) 512
Impairments of developed projects*) CZK millions - 3
Impairments of property, plant, and equipment
and intangible assets, including goodwill, at joint
ventures**)
CZK millions - -
Effects of additions to or reversals of impairments
on income tax***)
CZK millions 1 (64)
Other extraordinary effects CZK millions - -
Adjusted net income CZK millions 7,251 8,750

*) Included in the row Other operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income

**) Included in the row Share of profit (loss) from associates and joint-ventures in the Consolidated Statement of Income

***) Included in the row Income taxes (deferred tax) in the Consolidated Statement of Income

Compared to the previous state, the line "Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets including goodwill" was renamed to "Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets". However, goodwill remained part of the reported value, so there was no real change in the Adjusted Net Income indicator.
