ČEZ, a. s. ("ČEZ" or "the Company") is a Czech joint-stock company, owned 69.8% (70.1% of voting rights) at September 30, 2020 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, coal mining and providing energy services.
The interim consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 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 statement as of December 31, 2019.
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 statement as of December 31, 2019.
As of January 1, 2020, the Group did not adopt any new International Financial Reporting Standard that would have a significant impact on Group's interim consolidated financial statements.
The Group adjusted a final recognition of the acquisition of the 76% share in the company Euroklimat sp. z o.o., specifying the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and costs of the acquisition as at the acquisition date of August 30, 2019.
Quantification of the relevant effects on reported amounts for I.–III. quarter of 2019 is provided by the following table (in CZK millions):
| CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME: | 1-9/2019 adjustment of Euroklimat's acquisition |

| Income before income taxes | (12) |
| Income taxes | 2 |

| Net income attributable to equity holders of the parent | (10) |
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.
The following table summarizes the cash flows related to acquisitions in first nine months of 2020 (in CZK millions):
| Cash outflow on acquisition of the subsidiaries | 116 |
|---|---|
| Cash outflow on investment in joint-ventures | 791 |
| Cash contributions to joint-ventures | 1 |
| Payments of payables from acquisitions of previous periods | 307 |
| Total cash outflows on acquisition | 1,215 |
On April 9, 2020 the Group acquired a 100% interest in Austrian company Moser & Partner Ingenieurbüro GmbH, which focuses on building engineering services and energy saving projects.
The fair values of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities and the purchase considerations have been stated provisionally and could be adjusted in the subsequent period. The following table presents the current best estimate of fair values of acquired identifiable assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition (in CZK millions):
| Moser | |

If the combinations had taken place at the beginning of the year 2020, net income for CEZ Group as of September 30, 2020 would have been CZK 13,599 million and the revenues and other operating income would have been CZK 155,559 million. The amount of goodwill recognized as a result of the business combination comprises the fair value of expected synergies arising from the acquisition.
From the acquisition date, the newly acquired subsidiary has contributed the following balances to the Group's statement of income (in CZK millions):
| Moser | |
|---|---|
| Revenues and other operating income Income before other income (expense) and income |

On April 27, 2020, the Group acquired a 51% interest in the company GEOMET s.r.o. The intention of the joint-venture, in which the second partner is the company European Metals Holdings Limited, is to develop a project for potential lithium mining in Cínovec. Based on the analysis of the relevant agreements, competencies of the partners in the decision making processes and the relevant activities, the Group assessed the current relationship as a joint control.
The following table provides an overview of the basic financial information associated with this transaction (in CZK millions):
| GEOMET | |
|---|---|
| Share acquired in 2020 | 51% |
| Total net assets | 799 |
| Share of net assets acquired | 408 |
| Goodwill | 383 |
| Total purchase consideration | 791 |
The fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities of the joint-venture have been stated provisionally and could be adjusted in the subsequent period.
On June 4, 2020, the Group acquired a part of the non-controlling interest representing a 26.68% interest in the company OEM Energy sp. z o.o., which increased Group's interest to 77.68%. The original owners held an option to sell the non-controlling interest to the Group. In such a case, as long as the option is in force, the non-controlling interest is derecognized at the end of the reporting period and the liability is recognized at the present value of the amount payable on exercise. This option partially expired and therefore the relevant part of the liability was derecognized and the noncontrolling interest was accounted for (recognized), however, at the same time it was immediately derecognized due to the purchase of the non-controlling interest.
On June 30, 2020, the Group acquired the remaining non-controlling 49.90% interest in ČEZ Energo, s.r.o. Also in this case there was a put option held by the original partner, which ceased to exist.
The following table provides an overview of the basic financial information associated with these transactions (in CZK millions):
| OEM Energy | ČEZ Energo | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Share acquired in 2020 | 26.68% | 49.90% | |

| Total purchase consideration | 68 | 1,000 | 1,068 |
As of September 30, 2020 the Group performed an impairment test for any potential impairment loss related to assets and associated liabilities held for sale in the Bulgarian companies CEZ Razpredelenie Bulgaria AD, CEZ ICT Bulgaria EAD, CEZ Trade Bulgaria EAD, CEZ Bulgaria EAD, CEZ Elektro Bulgaria AD, Free Energy Project Oreshets EAD and Bara Group EOOD. The result of this test, reflecting the contractual sales price of EUR 335 million, was a reversal of a part of previously recognized impairment of assets in the amount of CZK 985 million, which was presented in the statement of income on the line Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see Note 0).
If the intention to sell should be abandoned in the future, or the sale should no longer be highly probable in the next twelve months respectively (see Note 14.3), CEZ Group does not expect material effect on net income caused by the reclassification from assets held for sale.
The assets classified as held for sale and associated liabilities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows (in CZK millions):

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired or that previously recognized impairment loss, excluding goodwill, is no longer justified or should be reduced. The result of the analysis updated as at September 30, 2020 was the conclusion that selected assets of the Group could be impaired. In such a case, the Group reviews that the recoverable amount of these property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is not lower than their carrying amounts, and if so, the Group recognizes an impairment loss in profit or loss on the line Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Based on an updated estimate of recoverable amounts, the Group recognized a total impairment loss of CZK 5,743 million for the period 1-9/2020.
The decrease in the carrying amount of assets in the amount of CZK 1,651 million relates to the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the cash-generating unit CEZ Chorzów S.A., out of which CZK 948 million is impairment of goodwill. The decrease in value of assets occurred mainly due to a decrease in the expected gross margin from electricity and heat production due to the change in expected market prices of emission rights and electricity and due to reduced expected useful life of the resource with respect to the government's coal mine closure schedule. The decrease in the carrying amount of assets of CZK 985 million relates to the assets of the cash-generating unit Bulgarian distribution, whose assets are classified as held for sale (see Note 0). The decrease in the carrying amount of assets in the amount of CZK 821 million relates to the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the cash-generating unit Severočeské doly a.s., out of which CZK 292 million is impairment of goodwill. The decrease in the carrying amount of assets here was mainly due to the growth of expected market prices of emission rights, which negatively affects the volume of electricity generation from coal and thus the demand for coal. The decrease in the carrying amount of assets in the amount of CZK 807 million relates to the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the cash-generating unit Romanian distribution, out of which CZK 802 million is impairment of goodwill. The decrease in the carrying amount of assets was mainly due to an increase in the risk of the impact of regulation on the next regulatory period. The decrease in the carrying amount of assets in the amount of CZK 798 million relates to the property, plant and equipment of the cash-generating unit of the Romanian wind farms. The decrease in value occurred mainly due to the expected decrease in electricity prices on the market in future compared to the previous long-term assumptions following the decrease in electricity prices. The decrease in the carrying amount of assets in the amount of CZK 394 million relates to the property, plant and equipment of the cash-generating unit CEZ Skawina S.A. The decrease in value occurred mainly due to a decrease in the expected gross margin from electricity and heat production due to the change in expected market prices of emission rights. The decrease in the carrying amount of assets in the amount of CZK 295 million relates to the property, plant and equipment of the cash-generating unit Elektrárna Dětmarovice, a.s. The decrease in the carrying amount of assets related to investments made due to the renewal of equipment after the fire in 2017 financed by income from property insurance, and also with regard to decrease in the outlook for expected profitability of the generation source over its useful life in the region especially due to increase in market prices of emission rights.

The Group reports its result using six reportable operating segments:
The segments are defined across the countries that CEZ Group operates. Segment is a functionally autonomous part of CEZ Group that serves a single part of the value chain in the energy sector and is within the purview of individual members of the ČEZ, a. s. Board of Directors.
The Group accounts for intersegment revenues and transfers as if the revenues or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices or where the regulation applies at regulated prices.
In segment reporting, IFRS 16 is applied to external leases from the Group's perspective, but it is not applied to leases between individual operating segments, although in some cases the asset is leased to another segment internally.
The Group evaluates the performance of its segments based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The reconciliation of EBITDA to income before other income (expenses) and income taxes summarizes the following table (in CZK millions):

According to the current evaluation of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group, the existence of no Group company is endangered and, in general, the pandemic has a relatively limited impact on the Group. However, the reliability of the estimate of the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group is considerably limited due to the uncertainty of the extent of the effects of the pandemic itself and of countries' countermeasures on economic growth, unemployment and debt growth in relevant European countries.
The negative impact on the Group's operations is expected to a relatively limited extent in the order of percentage units on EBITDA in 2020. The Group expects the greatest negative impact of the pandemic on the Sales segment, where we expect a significant reduction in the margin on the sale of services, a reduction in the margin on the sale of commodities to corporate customers and a potential deterioration in customers' solvency. In the Distribution segment, we expect the overall impact of the pandemic with regard to regulation to a relatively limited extent, however, in 2020 we expect a decrease in the volume of electricity distributed, and thus in the overall profit of distribution companies. The pandemics have a negative effect on the Generation – Traditional Energy and Mining segments, especially as a factor causing a decline in consumption, and thus in market electricity prices. On the other hand, there has been a significant increase in market prices for emission rights due to increased ambitions to reduce CO2 emissions within the EU, which has led to an increase in market prices for electricity. Therefore, the pandemic has a negative effect on the lower use of coal-based generation sources, and thus on the decline in demand for coal and on the margin of mining companies. From the point of view of the medium-term economic outlook of the Generation – Traditional Energy segment, the negative impact of the pandemic is limited due to the high level of cash flow hedging. For 2020, almost all expected production has already been contracted, for 2021 approximately 77% of expected production revenues have been contracted and for 2022 approximately 50% has been contracted.
The COVID-19 pandemic is considered an indicator of a possible impairment of the Group's assets, and therefore recoverable value tests have been updated using the best estimates available. In the fourth quarter of 2020, all relevant assets will be tested based on updated business plans of individual segments. The impact of the pandemic in the coming years will depend mainly on the measures taken in individual countries and their impact on the overall development of the economy in Europe.
The Group has taken adequate measures to eliminate the risks and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on key operations and employee health.
On October 22, 2020, a share purchase agreement was concluded for the sale of the interests in Romanian companies Distributie Energie Oltenia S.A., CEZ Vanzare S.A., CEZ Romania S.A. (including its interest in TMK Hydroenergy Power S.R.L.), Tomis Team S.A. (including its interest in M.W. Team Invest S.R.L.) and Ovidiu Development S.R.L. The sellers for CEZ Group are ČEZ, a. s. and CEZ Holdings B.V. The buyer is the international infrastructure investor Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets. Total selling price for the respective interests in the companies is stated in EUR as of December 31, 2019 (so called "locked-box date"), it bears interest 2% p. a. and is due on the closing date.
Closing of the transaction is subject to receiving approval from European anti-trust authorities (Directorate-General for Competition) and the Romanian Supreme Council of National Defence (Consiliul Suprem de Apărare a Ţării). The requirements of standard IFRS 5 to classify the assets as held for sale were met by granting prior consent to the transaction by the supervisory board of ČEZ, a. s. which took place on October 22, 2020. As a result of this reclassification, a test for potential impairment of assets being sold has been performed. An impairment will be recognized as of the date of classification for assets held for sale. The current assumption of the amount of the impairment loss is CZK 8.1 billion.
The following table presents balance sheet amounts at September 30, 2020 as if the Romanian assets being sold constituted a reportable segment of the Group (in CZK billions):
| Property, plant and equipment Other non-current assets Current assets |
24.5 4.9 10.1 |

| Total equity | 28.0 |
| Equity attributable to: Equity holders of the parent |
28.0 |
| Out of which: Cumulative loss from translation differences Non-controlling interests |
(5.5) - |
The cost of disposal from consolidation for the assets as at September 30, 2020 (i.e. before the classification as held for sale) would be CZK 33.5 billion.
On October 22, 2020, a share purchase agreement was signed for the sale of 100% interest in the subsidiary Elektrárna Počerady, a.s. (hereinafter also "EPC"). The buyer is the company Vršanská uhelná a.s. and assumed closing date is December 31, 2020. This will (assuming the closing of the newly concluded agreement) cancel the previous agreement for the sale of a 100% interest in EPC, which is already concluded between the parties with the closing date of January 2, 2024 for a purchase price of CZK 2.0 billion. According to the new agreement of the contracting parties, the initial purchase price amounts to CZK 2.5 billion and is due on November 30, 2023. The initial purchase price will be further adjusted by the value of cash, more precisely total current assets less current liabilities. The present value of the initial purchase price (as of September 30, 2020) is CZK 2.3 billion (discounted value of CZK 2.5 billion due in 2023). The value of the adjustment / increase in the purchase price (as at September 30, 2020) is approximately CZK +6.8 billion and this part of the total purchase price is payable within 3 months from the closing date (assumption of realization as at December 31, 2020) and will be settled by offsetting part of the EPC receivable from ČEZ, coming from deposit of EPC cash in ČEZ cash pooling accounts.
The transaction includes an agreement between the parties to terminate the existing contract for the purchase of coal from Vršanská uhelná a.s., under which ČEZ, a. s. was obliged to purchase 5 million tons of coal annually by the end of 2023, and to conclude a new PPA contract to purchase 5 TWh of electricity annually by ČEZ, a.s. from a subsidiary of the Vršanská uhelná Group for the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023 for a fixed price of CZK 700 / MWh increased by the cost of the emission allowance required for the supply of 1 MWh of electricity. Closing of the transaction is subject to receiving approval from Czech anti-trust authority. In the event that the sale of a 100% interest in EPC is not realized, neither the contract for existing coal supplies is terminated nor the new PPA contract for electricity supply is put in force and the current contract for the sale of 100% interest in EPC with closing on January 2, 2024, remains in force.
The requirements of standard IFRS 5 to classify the assets as held for sale were met by granting prior consent to the transaction by the supervisory board of ČEZ, a. s. which took place on October 22, 2020. As a result of this reclassification, a test for potential impairment of assets being sold has been performed. Such impairment was not identified.
The total impact of the transaction on net income of CEZ Group for 2020 according to the expected proceeds from the sale of a 100% interest in EPC and according to the valuation of related commodity contracts as of September 30, 2020, is expected to be positive. These are contracts for the sale of electricity and the purchase of emission allowances concluded in the past to hedge cash flows from EPC operations (future sales of electricity from CEZ Group's own resources are no longer probable, and therefore the corresponding hedging will be charged from comprehensive income to the income statement and the
previously concluded relevant contracts will be reclassified as derivatives) and it is also the abovementioned new PPA contract for the purchase of electricity. The current contract for the supply of coal from Vršanská uhelná a.s. (originally a contract intended to be physically delivered to the Group and therefore not considered a financial instrument in accordance with IFRS 9) is terminated prematurely and settled financially and the current fair value of the contract will be recognized in the income statement.
The following table presents balance sheet amounts at September 30, 2020 as if the assets being sold constituted a reportable segment of the Group (in CZK billions):
| Property, plant and equipment Other non-current assets Current assets |
0.9 0.3 8.7 |
