EBITDA reached CZK 32.5bn (-11.1%). Electricity
production from emission-free renewable and nuclear sources
increased by 6% to 9.4 TWh. Production from emission-free coal and
steam-gas sources fell by 22% to 4.7 TWh. Consumption of
electricity in the distribution territory of ČEZ Distribuce fell by 5% to
9.4 TWh. The Group has refined its outlook for the full year 2023: it
expects EBITDA of CZK 105-115bn and net profit adjusted for
extraordinary effects of CZK 33-37bn. The board of directors
approved a proposed dividend of CZK 117 per share for 2022. This
could result in a distribution of nearly CZK 63bn to shareholders, of
which the Czech Republic as the majority shareholder would receive
CZK 44bn. The entire group will pay more than CZK 100bn to the
Czech state this year thanks to extraordinary taxation on dividends,
income taxes and production sales taxes.
