1. The Company

ČEZ, a. s. ("ČEZ" or "the Company") is a Czech joint-stock company, owned 69.8% (70.3% of voting rights) at June 30, 2016 by the Czech Republic represented by the Ministry of Finance. The remaining shares of the Company are publicly held. The address of the Company's registered office is Duhová 2/1444, Praha 4, 140 53, Czech Republic.

The Company is a parent company of the CEZ Group ("the Group"). Main business of the Group is the production, distribution, trade and sale of electricity and heat, trade and sale of natural gas and coal mining.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2.1. Financial Statements

The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2016 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and have not been audited by an independent auditor. The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2015.

2.2. Changes in Accounting Policies

a. Adoption of New IFRS Standards in 2016

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, except for as follows. The Group has adopted the following new or amended and endorsed by EU IFRS and IFRIC interpretations as of January 1, 2016:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative
  • Amendments to IAS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions
  • Amendments to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements
  • Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in joint operation
  • Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010 2012
  • Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012 2014

The impact of the adoption of standards or interpretations (or their annual improvements respectively) on the financial statements or performance of the Group is described below:

Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative

The amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements clarify, rather than significantly change, existing IAS 1 requirements.

The amendments clarify:

  • the materiality requirements in IAS 1;
  • that specific line items in the statement(s) of profit or loss and OCI and the balance sheet may be disaggregated;
  • that entities have flexibility as to the order in which they present the notes to financial statements;
  • that the share of OCI of associates and joint-ventures accounted for using the equity method must be presented in aggregate as a single line item, and classified between those items that will or will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.

These amendments did not have a significant impact to the Group, but will assist in applying judgment when meeting the presentation and disclosure requirements.

Amendments to IAS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions The amendments to IAS 19 are intended to simplify the accounting for contributions that are independent of the number of years of employee service, for example, employee contributions that are calculated according to a fixed percentage of salary. The amendments did not have a significant impact on Group's financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 27: Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint-ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. Entities already applying IFRS and electing to change to the equity method in its separate financial statements will have to apply that change retrospectively. For first-time adopters of IFRS electing to use the equity method in its separate financial statements, they will be required to apply this method from the date of transition to IFRS. These amendments do not have any impact on the Group's financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in joint operation The amendments to IFRS 11 require that a joint operator accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation, in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business must apply the relevant IFRS 3 principles for business combinations accounting. The amendments also clarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is not remeasured on the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation while joint control is retained. In addition, a scope exclusion has been added to IFRS 11 to specify that the amendments do not apply when the parties sharing joint control, including the reporting entity, are under common control of the same ultimate controlling party. The amendments apply to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and the acquisition of any additional interests in the same joint operation and are prospectively effective. These amendments will affect eventual future relevant transactions.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010 - 2012

In December 2013 the IASB issued a collection of amendments to IAS and IFRS in which they focused on areas of inconsistency in IFRSs and IASs or where the clarification of wording was required. The following standards were amended:

  • IFRS 2 Share-based Payment
  • IFRS 3 Business Combinations
  • IFRS 8 Operating Segments
  • IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
  • IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment
  • IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
  • IAS 38 Intangible Assets

The annual improvements had no significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012 - 2014

In September 2014 the IASB issued a collection of amendments to IAS and IFRS in which they focused on areas of inconsistency in IFRSs and IASs or where the clarification of wording was required. The following standards were amended:

  • IFRS 5 Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
  • IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
  • IAS 19 Employee Benefits
  • IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting

The annual improvements had no significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

b. Changes in the Presentation of the Financial Statements

The way of presentation of the financial statements was changed In the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2015. The main goal of the changes was to enhance relevancy of information contained on the face of the financial statements and reflect the developments in the best practice of financial reporting in the industry with regard to all IFRS requirements. As a result, reclassifications for the prior period have been made to provide fully comparative information on the same basis. The following table summarizes the effect of reclassifications on prior period presented (in CZK millions):

1) The headline of the line Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading, net was changed (formerly Gains and losses from electricity, coal and gas derivative trading, net). This line is not presented as part of Total revenues and other operating income.

3. Seasonality of Operations

The seasonality within the segments Generation - Traditional Energy, Generation - New Energy, Distribution and Sales usually takes effect in such a way that the revenues and operating profits of these segments for the 1st and 4th quarters of a calendar year are slightly higher than the revenues and operating profits achieved in the remaining period.

4. Changes in the Group Structure

Acquisitions of subsidiaries from third parties in the first six months of 2016

On January 6, 2016 the Group acquired a 26% interest in ENESA a.s. Total interest of CEZ Group in ENESA is 75 % since this date. ENESA specializes in complex solutions for energy savings in public buildings and industrial plants.

On February 10, 2016 the Group acquired a 100% interest in ČEZ Solární, s.r.o. which constructs photovoltaic power plants.

On June 22, 2016 the Group acquired a 100% interest in Energie2 Prodej, s.r.o. which is a supplier of electricity and gas to all types of companies, organizations, households and public sector in the Czech Republic.

8. Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment and Intangible Assets including Goodwill

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired or that previously recognized impairment losses (except for goodwill) may no longer exist or may have decreased. The result of the assessment made at June 30, 2016 was that certain assets might have been impaired. In such case, the Group reviews the recoverable amounts of the assets to determine whether such amounts continue to exceed the assets' carrying values. If not, the Group recognizes impairment loss directly in profit or loss in the line item of Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets including goodwill.

The Group recognized for first six months ended June 30, 2016 the total amount of impairment loss of CZK 997 million. The line item Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets including goodwill also includes gain from write-off of negative goodwill resulting from the acquisition of the company Energie2 Prodej, s.r.o. (see also Note 4) amounting to CZK 24 million.

The impairment loss in the amount of CZK 997 million is related to impairment of property, plant and equipment of cash-generating unit Romanian wind power farms. The impairment was caused especially by decrease in expected wholesale prices of electricity.

10. Segment Information

  • Generation Traditional Energy
  • Generation New Energy
  • Distribution
  • Sales
  • Mining
  • Other
