ČEZ, a. s. ("ČEZ" or "the Company") is a Czech joint-stock company, owned 69.8% (70.1% of voting rights) at June 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 six months ended June 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.
After the financial results for I. and II. quarters 2019 were published, the accounting was made, which additionally brought more precise presentation of effects of hedging on individual quarters of 2019. The adjustments recorded affected financial results of the company ČEZ, a. s., and they relate to commodity derivatives, which hedge price risks of future sales of generated electricity with supply in 2019.
The Group also adjusted a final recognition of the acquisition of the Hermos Group, specifying the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and costs of the acquisition as at the acquisition date of May 15, 2019.
Quantification of the above-mentioned relevant effects on reported amounts for I. quarter and II. quarter of 2019 is provided by the following tables (in CZK millions):

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 | |

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.

As of June 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 685 million, which was presented in the statement of income on the line Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see Note 9).
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, CEZ Group does not expect material effect on net income caused by the reclassification from assets held for sale.

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 June 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 including goodwill.
Based on an updated estimate of recoverable amounts, the Group recognized a total impairment loss of CZK 1,901 million for the period 1-6/2020.
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 in II. quarter. The decrease in the carrying amount of assets of CZK 685 million relates to the assets of the cash-generating unit Bulgarian distribution, whose assets are classified as held for sale (see Note 5). The impairment of assets of CZK 433 million relates to the goodwill of the cash-generating unit CEZ Chorzów 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 and electricity.
Although the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic was the indicator of a possible impairment of the Group's assets, according to updated analyses, this was not a crucial factor causing the impairment loss, as evidenced by the above descriptions of reasons that primarily led to the impairment loss. Further information on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Group's financial performance is provided in Note 12.
The segment information is provided in Note 11.

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 and temporary 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 on the economies of individual countries in Europe and the measures of countries on the economic growth of relevant countries.
The negative impact on the Group's operations is expected mainly for the year 2020 and to a relatively limited extent in the order of percentage units. The Group expects the greatest negative impact of the pandemic on the Sales segment, where we expect a 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 was a significant increase in market prices of emission rights, which in turn led to an increase in market prices of 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 mediumterm 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 71% of expected production revenues have been contracted and for 2022 approximately 42% 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. The results of the analyzes do not show that the pandemic caused a decrease in the value of the Group's assets. Primary reasons that led to a decrease in the value of selected assets in II. quarter were different (see Note 9). In the second half 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 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.
