FINANCIAL RESULTS AND SELECTED EVENTS

Main Financial Results for Q1-Q3

  • Operating revenues amounted to CZK 156.0 bn; for Q3, CZK 47.7 bn.
  • EBITDA amounted to CZK 47.5 bn; for Q3, CZK 15.9 bn.
  • Net income amounted to CZK 6.7 bn; for Q3, CZK 5.1 bn.
  • Adjusted net income* amounted to CZK 16.9 bn; for Q3, CZK 5.6 bn.

For the full year 2021, we estimate EBITDA of CZK 59-60 bn and adjusted net income of CZK 19-21 bn.

Selected Events

  • Electricity prices in Q3 were well above the historical highs of 2008, with baseload contracts for 2022 delivery exceeding EUR 130/MWh in Q3 and even EUR 160/MWh in October.
  • Following the breach of obligation of Bohemia Energy company in Czechia, suppliers of the last resort took over electricity and gas supplies of almost 900,000 end customers. For this reason, CEZ Group, through ČEZ Prodej, took over the supplies of almost 400,000 end customers.
  • The Bulgarian assets were transferred to the buyer on July 27 against payment of the purchase price of EUR 335 m. The arbitration with the Bulgarian state is continuing and represents an additional potential income of hundreds of millions of EUR for the shareholders.
  • The sale process of the generation assets in Poland was halted as the prices offered were not economically attractive enough. CEZ Group has started updating the concepts of both sites in order to secure heat supplies from modern low-emission sources as soon as possible.

* Adjusted net income = Net income adjusted for extraordinary effects that are generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance in a given period (such as fixed asset impairments and goodwill write-off)

MAIN CAUSES OF YEAR-ON-YEAR CHANGE IN EBITDA

Main causes of year-on-year change in EBITDA: Existing assets (CZK -0.3 bn)

GENERATION segment (CZK -3.4 bn):

  • Generation facilities (CZK -1.9 bn): The impact of market prices of natural gas, emission allowances, and electricity on the generation margin of emission sources in Czechia, including the impact of hedging and exchange rate (CZK -1.4 bn), operations of power plants in Poland (CZK -0.3 bn)
  • Trading (CZK -0.4 bn) trading margin for Q1-Q3 2020 reached a record amount of CZK 3.2 bn
  • Specific effects (CZK -1.1 bn), temporary effects related to the revaluation of generation commodity hedging contracts, mainly caused by the decrease in market prices following the expansion of COVID-19 to Europe in H1 2020 combined with the increase in market prices of electricity and emission allowances in 2021, and fluctuations in electricity market prices in Czechia and Germany
  • MINING segment (CZK +0.8 bn): higher revenues related to higher coal supplies
  • DISTRIBUTION segment (CZK +0.7 bn): higher electricity distribution volume (CZK +0.5 bn)
  • SALES segment (CZK +1.6 bn): improved performance of the B2B segment mainly due to the negative impact of
  • COVID-19 in 2020 (CZK +0.7 bn), sales of commodities to retail customers especially due to higher sales volume (CZK +0.6 bn)

Divested assets (CZK -3.1 bn)

  • Romania (CZK -2.5 bn); assets sold as at Mar 31, 2021
  • Bulgaria (CZK -0.6 bn); assets sold as at Jul 27, 2021

MAIN CAUSES OF YEAR-ON-YEAR CHANGE IN NET INCOME

(CZK bn) Q1–Q3/2020 Q1–Q3/2021 Difference %

  • This income will increase CEZ Group's net profit in Q4 2021 and is not subject to income taxes.

Depreciation, Amortization, and Impairments* (CZK -6.0 bn)

  • higher addition to impairments of fixed assets in Severočeské doly (CZK -8.4 bn), lower impairments in Poland (CZK +1.0 bn), in Romania (CZK +0.5 bn), and in Bulgaria (CZK +0.1 bn)
  • higher depreciation of existing assets (CZK -1.3 bn), including ČEZ, a. s. (CZK -1.5 bn), due to accelerated depreciation of coal-fired power plants reflecting the deterioration of market and regulatory conditions for long-term operation of coal-fired power plants, lower depreciation of Severočeské doly (CZK +0.3 bn)
  • Lower depreciation of divested assets (CZK +1.6 bn) due to the sale of Romanian (as at Mar 31, 2021) and Bulgarian companies (as at Jul 27, 2021)

Other Income and Expenses (CZK +2.7 bn)

  • Exchange rate effects and revaluating financial derivatives and securities (CZK +2.0 bn)
  • Lower interest expense (CZK +0.7 bn) due to a decrease in the total amount of debt

  • for Q1–Q3 2020, adjusted for the negative effect of impairments and goodwill write-off in Poland (CZK +1.8 bn), in Romania (CZK +1.5 bn), in Czechia (CZK +0.9 bn), and the negative effect of impairments in Bulgaria (CZK +0.9 bn)

MARKET PRICES OF ELECTRICITY FOR 2022 HAVE INCREASED SHARPLY DUE TO RISING GAS PRICES AND DUE TO THE EU'S CLIMATE AMBITION

Evolution of electricity, emission allowance, and gas market prices

EEX: Cal22 BL (EUR/MWh); EUA for delivery in 12/2022 (EUR/t); TTF Cal22 gas (EUR/MWh)

The increase in electricity prices in H1 followed the development of emission allowance prices and the EU's more ambitious climate targets. The increase in electricity prices to record levels in H2 was driven by gas prices.

The gas price increased due to several largely global factors:

  • high global demand, reflecting high global economic growth following the reduction of Covid-19 restrictions
  • supply recovery from the post-Covid-19 gas generation and output constraints takes time
  • low storage filling up in Europe after an exceptionally long winter
  • a hot summer, particularly in Asia and southern Europe, when gas was used to generate electricity for air conditioning instead of being injected into storage and at the expense of exports
  • low wind in Europe and therefore low wind generation
  • the uncertain starting date of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia

HEDGING OF GENERATION MARKET RISK FOR 2022 37 TWH OF ELECTRICITY SOLD AT 54.1 EUR/MWH, 11.4 M T EUA PURCHASED AT 31.1 EUR/T

34.1 18.8 7.4 3.2 3.5 2.1 2022 2023 2024 2025 Electricity selling price (EUR/MWh) EUA purchase price (EUR/t) Hedged volume as at Jun 30, 2021 € 54.1 € 54.3 € 56.1 € 58.4 € 31.1 € 32.5 € 40.4 Electricity sold for 2022–2025 in TWh (as at Sep 30) 1.9 37.3 9.4 22.3 Hedged volume from Jul 1, 2021, to Sep 30, 2021

Contracted emission allowances for 2022–2025* in m t (as at Sep 30)

Share of hedged deliveries of electricity from generation in Czechia (as at Sep 30)

2022 2023 2024 2025 100% of expected deliveries
Share of hedged deliveries of electricity 79% 49% 21% 4% 44 to 47 TWh of annual external deliveries

THE GROUP IS PROGRESSING IN MEETING ITS DECARBONIZATION TARGETS. EMISSION INTENSITY HAS DECREASED Y-O-Y BY 12%.

Emission intensity per electricity generated (t CO2 /MWhe )

CEZ Group's emission intensity of 0.28 t CO2 /MWhe corresponds to:

  • Approx. 80% of emissions from a new CCGT source
  • Approx. 50% of emissions produced by the marginal plant determining the current market prices in Germany

Selected events in decarbonization and the environment

  • In September 2021, CEZ Group made a commitment to SBTi to reduce emissions in line with the Paris Agreement and also joined the initiative Business Ambition for 1.5°C.
  • On 17 August, the operation of the EME3 coal-fired generating unit was terminated at the Mělník site, reducing ČEZ's installed capacity by 500 MW.
  • Inven Capital became the first holder of a carbon-neutral business certificate in CEZ Group.

SELECTED EVENTS IN THE PAST QUARTER

We increase capacity and ensure safe operation of nuclear power plants

  • Westinghouse will upgrade the control and monitoring systems of Temelín NPP under a contract concluded on Sep 13, 2021. In terms of technical complexity, this is one of the most complex contracts in the history of Czechia, which will involve the partial replacement of the Westinghouse system that has ensured safe operation of the Temelín NPP for 20 years.
  • The achievable output of Unit 1 of the Temelín NPP has increased by 4 MWe to 1,086 MWe . The increase was achieved by installing two new separators—steam reheaters in the nonnuclear part of the power plant, which enhanced the unit's efficiency at the same reactor output. The same investment was undertaken at Temelín NPP Unit 2 in 2020. Increasing the efficiency of the unit will save up to 20,000 tons of CO2 per year.
  • The outage of Temelín NPP Unit 2 was completed in a shortened timeframe, despite an unexpected outage and forced repair of the 400kV ČEPS power output line. As part of this outage, the reactor containment passed the safety test and met all impenetrability criteria.
  • The Dukovany and Temelín nuclear power plants were among the first nuclear power plants in the world to undergo an information and cyber security audit. In accordance with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard, they were awarded an international certificate confirming the high level of the Information Security Management System (ISMS).

We are gradually fulfilling the ESG commitments defined in the strategic VISION 2030—Clean Energy for Tomorrow

  • In the course of Q3 2021, the preparation of projects for the construction of RES (photovoltaics) in Czechia with investment support from the Modernization Fund (MoFo) continued. ČEZ submitted 24 projects with a total installed capacity of more than 233 MWp to the first RES+ call No. 2/2021 for PV plants above 1 MWp, for which the deadline for application submissions was Oct 29, 2021. We expect the evaluation of applications under this call to take place within 3–6 months.
  • Overall, the proportion of women working in nuclear power plants has exceeded 10%, increasing the number of women by more than 20% over the past five years.
  • On Sep 29, ČEZ, a. s., obtained the certification of the Anti-Corruption Management System according to ISO 37001:2016 for the activities of the Purchasing and Compliance departments, awarded by KPMG Germany. Receiving the internationally recognized certification is a confirmation of the high level of anti-corruption measures at ČEZ and fulfills the commitment of the company's management to develop the ethical dimension of the business of CEZ Group according to the best international practices.

INCREASING THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR THE WHOLE YEAR 2021: EBITDA CZK 59-60 BN & NET INCOME CZK 19-21 BN

EBITDA

CZK bn

Adjusted net income

CZK bn

Selected reasons for adjusting the financial outlook as compared to the outlook from Aug 10, 2021:

  • Higher profit from commodity trading
  • Interest related to the refunded overpayment of the gift tax on emission allowances for the years 2011 and 2012 (impact on net income only)
  • Increase in long-term provisions due to the decrease in the real interest rate (inflation increase higher than the increase in government bond yields)
  • Increase in depreciation and amortization due to the assumption of early closure of coal mines and power plants (impact on net income only)

Selected Prediction Risks and Opportunities:

  • Availability of generating facilities
  • Gain from commodity trading
  • Revaluation of commodity derivatives and exchange rate effects

Forecast realization prices for generation in Czechia in 2021:

  • The realization price of generated electricity in Czechia is approx. 52 EUR/MWh.
  • The purchase price of emission allowances for generation is approximately 26 EUR/t.

This is the result of hedging transactions from previous years and the current market valuation of electricity not yet sold and emission allowances not yet acquired for expected production in 2021.

Trading (CZK -0.4 bn)— trading margin for Q1-Q3 2020 reached a record amount of CZK 3.2 bn

Specific temporary effects (CZK -1.1 bn)

Temporary effects related to the in-year revaluation of commodity hedging contracts for generation, caused mainly by the decrease in market prices following the outbreak of Covid-19 in Europe in H1 2020 combined with the increase in market prices for electricity and emission allowances in 2021 (CZK -0.9 bn), lower overhedge from German hedging contracts for generation supply in Czechia due to changes in market prices for electricity in Czechia and Germany (CZK -0.2 bn)

Year-on-year effects in Q3:

  • Nuclear generating facilities (CZK +0.2 bn): Impact of electricity realization prices and FX on generation (CZK +1.0 bn), lower generation volume due to timing of outages (CZK -0.6 bn), higher fixed costs (CZK -0.2 bn)
  • Fossil-Fuel Generation (CZK +0.1 bn): coal plants in Czechia (CZK +0.4 bn), operation of CCGT Počerady (CZK -0.1 bn), Polish generating facilities (CZK -0.2 bn)
  • Trading (CZK +1.8 bn): Higher trading margin
  • Specific effects (CZK +2.4 bn): Temporary effects related to the revaluation of commodity generation hedging contracts, or partial elimination of temporary effects in H1 (CZK +1.8 bn), impact of fluctuations in electricity market prices in Czechia and Germany on the overhedge from hedging contracts (CZK +0.6 bn)

The breakdown of EBITDA of the GENERATION segment into five sub-segments is only indicative on the basis of central allocation assumptions (in particular the allocation of gross margin and fixed costs of the central divisions of ČEZ, a. s.) and simplified consolidation with other companies in the segment.

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, i.e. as at September 30 and EBITDA for the
period from October 1 of previous year until 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,
2020 2021
Current debt financial assets 0.1 0.0
Non-current debt financial assets 0.0 0.0
Current term deposits 2.8 3.2
Non-current term deposits 0.0 0.0
Short-term equity securities 0.0 0.3
Highly liquid financial assets, total 2.9 3.4

Adjusted Net Income indicator—calculation for periods in question:

Adjusted Net Income (After-Tax Income, Adjusted) Unit Q1–Q3 2020 Q1–Q3 2021
Net income CZK billions 13.6 6.7
Impairments of property, plant, and equipment
and intangible assets (including goodwill write
1)
off)
CZK billions 5.7 12.2
Impairments of developed projects2) CZK billions - -
Effects of additions to or reversals of impairments
on income tax3)
CZK billions (0.6) (0.3)
Other extraordinary effects4) CZK billions - (1.7)
Adjusted net income CZK billions 18.7 16.9

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

4) The adjustment consists of a correction of adjustment of the net income by the part of impairments of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets (including the related effect on income taxes) that relates—based on its characteristics—to the current year. This item represents impairments of non-current assets in 2021 of sold companies in Romania and Bulgaria, which reflect that net income for this period —taking into account the "Locked-box date" as defined in agreements for the sale of assets—belongs effectively to purchasers.

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