Net income adjustments

The net income in Q1–Q3 2023 adjusted for impairments of fixed assets, including tax shielding in Severočeské doly (CZK -1.6 bn).

Depreciation and amortization (CZK -1.9 bn):

  • Increase in depreciation and amortization of ČEZ's coal-fired power plants (CZK -0.7 bn) and nuclear power plants (CZK -0.5 bn), mainly due to an update of provisions for the termination of operation
  • Higher depreciation and amortization of Severočeské doly (CZK -0.6 bn) and ČEZ Distribuce (CZK -0.5 bn)
  • Decrease in depreciation and amortization of Energotrans (CZK +0.7 bn) due to the termination of depreciation of the Mělník 3 power plant in 2022

Impairments (CZK -1.9 bn): Impairments of fixed assets in Severočeské doly (CZK -2.0 bn)

Other income and expenses (CZK -1.8 bn):

  • Effect of higher interest rates and development of net debt on the balance of interest expenses and income (CZK +1.4 bn)
  • Exchange rate effects and revaluation of financial derivatives (CZK +1.6 bn) due to the revaluation of ČEZ's margin deposits and the revaluation of bonds and loans
  • Temporary value fluctuations of ownership interests held by Inven Capital (CZK -1.4 bn) due to an increased valuation in 2022 CZK +0.5 bn and the reduction of value in 2022

CZK -0.9 bn

▪ Higher interests on nuclear and other provisions (CZK -3.5 bn) due to a major increase in interest rates** and an increase in provisions in 2022

Income tax (CZK -22.6 bn):

▪ Newly introduced 60% windfall tax in Q1–Q3 2023 (CZK ~21 bn) greatly exceeded the increase of the regular 19% income tax.

www.cez.cz 5 * Including gain/loss from sales of tangible and intangible fixed assets including goodwill

** Long-term nominal risk-free interest rates increased year-on-year from 2.3% to 4.9% and medium-term rates from 1.6% to 4.8%.

Modified Financial Outlook for 2023: EBITDA CZK 115 to 120 bn, adjusted net income CZK 33 to 37 bn

EBITDA (CZK billions)

Adjusted net income (CZK billions)

Main causes of adjustments in EBITDA outlook compared to the August 10 outlook (improvement by CZK 3 to 4 bn):

  • + Higher contribution of the Trading sub-segment
  • + Improved financial results of the SALES and DISTRIBUTION segments
  • + Higher availability of nuclear facilities

In addition, the higher windfall tax has an effect at the net income level compared to the August 10 outlook due to the difference between the tax base (under CAS) and the income before tax (under IFRS)

Selected Generation Assumptions of the Forecast

  • Total electricity supply in Czechia 43 to 45 TWh
  • Levy on excess revenues CZK 9 to 11 bn
  • Windfall tax CZK 28 to 34 bn

Selected Prediction Risks and Opportunities

  • Amount of the windfall tax and amount of deferred taxes
  • Availability of generating facilities and realized prices of generated electricity
  • Income from commodity trading and revaluation of derivatives

Selected Events in the Past Quarter

CEZ Group received three binding offers for the construction of a new nuclear power plant at the Dukovany site and obtained the zoning permission.

  • On October 30, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic issued a siting decision for the new nuclear unit at the Dukovany site.
  • The company EDU II received offers for the construction of new nuclear units in Czechia from three bidders by the specified deadline (October 31, 2023). Binding offers were submitted by the French company EdF, the South Korean KHNP and the US-Canadian Westinghouse. All offers for the construction of a new nuclear unit at the Dukovany site also include a non-binding offer for three more nuclear units in Czechia.
  • CEZ Group expects that the overall evaluation will be carried out and the evaluation report submitted to the Czech state in the first quarter of 2024.
  • The EPC contract with the preferred bidder is expected to be finalized and the relevant contracts with the state concluded by the end of 2024.

ČEZ Prodej decreases the prices of baseline products for an unlimited period of time. The price of electricity will decrease by 20% and the price of gas by 28%.

  • ČEZ Prodej has updated the price list of products for an unlimited period of time, with effect from January 1, 2024. The price of electricity will decrease to CZK 3,960 per MWh, excl. VAT, and the price of gas to CZK 1,790 per MWh, excl. VAT.
  • The major decrease reflects the lower commodity purchase prices for 2024 compared to the purchase prices for 2023 (contracted mostly during 2022).

The biggest Czech heating project of the last decade – hot water piping connecting the Temelín NPP and České Budějovice – completed.

  • Before this year's heating season, ČEZ has put into operation the third longest hot water piping in Czechia, connecting the Temelín Nuclear Power Plant and the regional city of České Budějovice.
  • Each year the nuclear power plant should supply at least 750 TJ (0.2 TWh) of zero-emission heat, covering about a third of the city's consumption.

ESG – international award in sustainability and validation of a key climate goal by SBTI

  • ČEZ won the prestigious international competition Sustainable Company Awards 2023 (run by the specialized portal Environmental Finance) in the categories of "Sustainability Reporting of the Year in EMEA region" and "Sustainable Business Leader of the Year 2023". The jury especially appreciated ČEZ's interactive data library, which is the biggest database of non-financial indicators among European energy utilities.
  • SBTi (Science Based Target initiative) validated ČEZ commitment to reduce emission intensity Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 83% per MWh by 2033 (compared to 2019 base year) and to reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2040. Both these commitments are consistent with 1.5°C scenario.

This year, ČEZ Distribuce has connected over 42,000 photovoltaic power plants with an installed capacity of 488 MW to the grid.

▪ Most of them are micro plants of up to 10 kW at the low voltage level. 21,300 power plants with an installed capacity of 188 MW were connected to the grid over the entire year 2022. In Q3 2023 alone, it connected power plants with an installed capacity of 159 MW.

www.cez.cz 12 * The forecast of expected generation from emission facilities for 2023 does not include the actual expected generation from the CCGT plant, considering the high volatility of market prices of electricity, gas, and emission allowances, and thus the highly volatile expected power plant deployment.

Emissions of CO2 , SO2 and NOX from electricity and heat generation have decreased year-on-year

CO2e emission intensity of electricity and heat generation (t CO2e/MWh)

Sulfur dioxide (SO2 ), nitrogen oxides (NOx ), (thousand tons)

Expected CEZ Group's emission intensity for electricity and heat generation in 2023 of 0.27 t CO2e/MWh corresponds to:

  • 78% of the emissions of the new CCGT plant,
  • 42% of emissions produced by the marginal generating facility determining the current electricity market prices in Germany.

In Q1–Q3 2023:

  • SO2 emissions were 3,700 tons and decreased by 22% year-on-year,
  • NOX emissions were 8,000 tons and decreased by 16% year-on-year.

The CO2e indicator corresponds to emissions as defined in "SCOPE 1 of the GHG Protocol". Under CEZ Group's conditions, these are emissions related to the combustion of fossil fuels in the generation of electricity and heat (CO2 , CH4 and N2O emissions) and CO2 emissions from transport. The indicator also includes CH4 and N2O emissions from biomass combustion, CH4 emissions from coal mining, and HFC, PFC, and SF6 emissions from air conditioning and other equipment.

Emission allowances – status of generation hedging in Czechia* for 2023 (as of Sep 30)

Emission allowances – expected purchase price for 2023 generation as of Sep 30

  • 100% of purchases of emission allowances for Czechia* are ~14 mil tons.
  • Average purchase price** is EUR ~60 per ton.

Electricity – expected realized price from generation in 2023 as of Sep 30

  • 100% of the expected electricity supply in Czechia* corresponds to 43–45 TWh.
  • Average expected realized price** is EUR 124–129 per MWh.

Electricity – generation revenue hedging as of Sep 30

  • 42.8 TWh sold at an average realized price of EUR ~125 per MWh.
  • * Generation in ČEZ and Energotrans (following the merger, the Dětmarovice power plant has been part of ČEZ, a. s. since January 1, 2023).

** This is the result of hedging trades and as far as electricity is concerned, current market valuation of yet unsold electricity from expected generation in 2023. Some of the hedging contracts for the sales of electricity (mainly from gas and some coal-fired facilities) and the purchase of emission allowances, are continuously revalued in the P/L statement due to uncertain final deliveries.

Definitions and Calculations of Indicators Unspecified in IFRS

In accordance with ESMA guidelines, ČEZ provides detailed information on indicators that are not reported as standard in IFRS financial reporting framework or the components of which are not directly available from financial statements and accompanying notes to the 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
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 write-off) +/−
additions to and reversals of impairments of developed
projects +/− other extraordinary effects that are generally
unrelated to ordinary financial performance and value
creation in a given period +/− effects of the above on income
tax.
Net Debt Purpose: The indicator shows the real level of a company's
financial debt, i.e., the carrying amount of debt net of cash,
cash equivalents, and highly liquid financial assets held. The
indicator is primarily used to assess the overall
appropriateness of the indebtedness, e.g., in comparison with
selected 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 reported individually on the balance
sheet, with items related to assets held for sale are presented
separately on the balance sheet.
Net Debt / EBITDA Purpose: This indicates a company's capability to 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. Net Debt is the amount at the
end of the reported period. EBITDA is the running total for the
past 12 months. And so September 30 value is calculated
from Net Debt as of September 30 and EBITDA for the period
from October 1 of previous year to September 30 of current
year.

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 calculated as follows:

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

As at Dec 31, As at Sep 30,
2022 2023
Current debt financial assets 9.8 8.0
Non-current debt financial assets - -
Current term deposits 0.1 0.4
Non-current term deposits - -
Short-term equity securities 0.0 0.0
Highly liquid financial assets, total 9.9 8.4

Adjusted Net Income indicator—calculation for periods in question:

Adjusted Net Income (After-Tax Income, Adjusted) Unit Q1 – Q3 2023 Q1 – Q3 2023
Net income CZK billions 52.3 29.8
Impairments of property, plant, and equipment
and intangible assets (including goodwill write
1)
off)
CZK billions -0.0 2.0
Impairments of developed projects2) CZK billions - -
Effects of additions to or reversals of impairments
on income tax3)
CZK billions -0.0 -0.4
Other extraordinary effects CZK billions - -
Adjusted net income CZK billions 52.3 31.4

1) Corresponds to the total value reported in the row Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets in the Consolidated Statement of Income

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

3) Included in the row Income taxes in the Consolidated Statement of Income

Totals and subtotals can differ from the sum of partial values due to rounding.
