  1. Updated definition includes additional securities within margining receivables beginning on 30 June 2021. Prior year's value has been adjusted accordingly.

  2. Reduced by receivables from the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund; Due to IFRS valuation rules (IFRIC 5), €260 million (December 31, 2020: €223 million) of Uniper's share of the fair value of the net assets of the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund may not be capitalized on the balance sheet. Accordingly, there exists an additional receivable from the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund ineligible for recognition on the balance sheet, and the economic net obligation for the decommissioning of the Swedish nuclear power plants is thus reported too high in the table by the amount of this receivable.

Certain information in this presentation is based on management estimates. Such estimates have been made in good faith and represent the current beliefs of applicable members of management of Uniper. Those management members believe that such estimates are founded on reasonable grounds. However, by their nature, estimates may not be correct or complete. Accordingly, no representation or warranty (express or implied) is given that such estimates are correct or complete.

We advise you that some of the information presented herein is based on statements by third parties, and that no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to, and no reliance should be placed on, the fairness, accuracy, completeness or correctness of this information or any other information or opinions contained herein, for any purpose whatsoever. Certain statements contained herein may be statements of future expectations and other forward-looking statements that are based on the Company's current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. No one undertakes to publicly update or revise any such forward-looking statement.

In giving this presentation, neither Uniper nor its respective agents undertake any obligation to provide the recipient with access to any additional information or to update this presentation or any information or to correct any inaccuracies in any such information.

This presentation contains certain financial measures (including forward-looking measures) that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered as "Non-IFRS financial measures". The management of Uniper believes that the Non-IFRS financial measures used by Uniper, when considered in conjunction with (but not in lieu of) other measures that are computed in accordance with IFRS, enhance an understanding of Uniper's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. A number of these Non-IFRS financial measures are also commonly used by securities analysts, credit rating agencies and investors to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of Uniper and other companies with which Uniper competes. These Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation as a measure of Uniper's profitability or liquidity, and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income and the other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with IFRS. In particular, there are material limitations associated with our use of Non-IFRS financial measures, including the limitations inherent in our determination of each of the relevant adjustments. The Non-IFRS financial measures used by Uniper may differ from, and not be comparable to, similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Certain numerical data, financial information and market data (including percentages) in this presentation have been rounded according to established commercial standards. As a result, the aggregate amounts (sum totals or interim totals or differences or if numbers are put in relation) in this presentation may not correspond in all cases to the amounts contained in the underlying (unrounded) figures appearing in the consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, in tables and charts, these rounded figures may not add up exactly to the totals contained in the respective tables and charts.
