The Energa Group generated EBITDA (operating profit before amortizationand impairment of non-financial non-current assets) of PLN -453 millionin Q4 2022, which means a decrease by PLN 793 million compared to thesame period of the previous year. This result was mainly influenced by:
a) EBITDA achieved by the Distribution Business Line in the amount ofPLN 393 million (a decrease by PLN 152 million YoY). The reason for thedecrease in EBITDA was primarily a lower margin on sales of distributionservice with grid losses mainly due to the unfavourable volume and priceof grid losses YoY. Operating costs, including employee benefitexpenses, were also higher due to inflationary pressures.
b) EBITDA achieved by the Generation Business Line of PLN 21 million (anincrease by PLN 72 million YoY). The reason for the higher EBITDA resultwas higher revenues from the sale of electricity.

c) EBITDA achieved by the Sales Business Line in the amount of PLN -846million (a decrease by PLN 715 million YoY). The reason for the negativeEBITDA result and its strong decrease YoY was mainly the creation of aprovision for onerous contracts in the amount of PLN 916 million inconnection with the implementation of the regulation of electricitysales prices to end users and the approval by the President of theEnergy Regulatory Office of the tariff for households for 2023.
