The composition of gains and losses from commodity derivative trading for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, is as follows (in CZK millions):
| 1-3/2024 | 1-3/2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Gain from electricity derivative trading | 3,464 | 1,025 | |
| Loss from gas derivative trading | (1,149) | (1,775) | |
| Loss from oil derivative trading | (13) | (4) | |
| Gain from coal derivative trading | 6 | 15 | |
| Gain (loss) from emission rights derivative trading | (1,000) | 1,476 | |
| Total gains and losses from commodity derivative trading | 1,308 | 737 |
Reported gains and losses from derivative trading consist of trades with commodities for the purpose of speculative trading, but also trades concluded for the purpose of hedging the gross margin from electricity generation, where changes in their fair value do not enter the hedge accounting scheme mainly due to the uncertainty of the hedged deliveries of electricity from generation sources (where the expected deliveries of electricity may not be produced eventually, but trading positions on electricity and related positions for emission allowances and fuels will be closed, e.g. for deliveries from the Počerady CCGT power plant). Given the high volatility of commodity market prices, these trades have a significant impact on reported gains and losses from derivative trading.

The Group reports its result using four reportable operating segments:
The segments are defined across the countries in which CEZ Group operates. Segment is a functionally autonomous part of CEZ Group that serves a single part of the value chain of the Group.
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 definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to income before other income (expenses) and income taxes summarizes the following table (in CZK millions):
| 1-3/2024 | 1-3/2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Income before other income (expenses) and income | |||
| taxes (EBIT) | 31,648 | 24,298 | |
| Depreciation and amortization | 8,742 | 8,357 | |

| intangible assets | 2 | (14) | |
| Gains and losses on sale of property, plant and | |||
| equipment, net1) | (75) | (107) | |
| EBITDA | 40,317 | 32,534 |
1) Gains on sale of property, plant and equipment are presented in the statement of income as part of the line item Other operating income (Note 9). Losses on sale of property, plant and equipment are presented in the statement of income as part of the line item Other operating expenses (Note 11).
The Group follows and analyses results of individual segments also based on the ratio of Gross margin, which is defined as follows (in CZK millions):
| 1-3/2024 | 1-3/2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating income | 87,395 | 93,380 |
| Gains and losses from commodity derivative trading | 1,308 | 737 |

| Gross margin | 53,827 | 44,395 |
1) Levy on revenues above price caps is part of the statement of income line-item Other operating expenses (Note 11).
2) Other includes relevant part of the material costs (part of the statement of income line-item Material and supplies) and excludes part of the statement of income line-item Services, which refers to repair and maintenance services and other services that have rather overhead nature.
The following tables summarize segment information by operating segments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and at December 31, 2023 (in CZK millions):
