Further to the announcement on 29th March 2017, CEZ MH B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of ČEZ, a. s., has announced that it has conditionally sold 7,651,168 shares in MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas Plc (“MOL”) (ISIN: HU0000068952) equal to approximately 7.5% of the share capital of MOL (the “Equity Placing”). The final placing price determined via a bookbuilding process was HUF 18,700 per MOL share, with preliminary proceeds of approximately HUF 143.1 billion.

ČEZ Group reports 2016 net income of CZK 14.6 billion. Adjusted for extraordinary effects generally unrelated to the year’s ordinary financial performance, its net income was CZK 19.6 billion. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) were CZK 58.1 billion (a decrease of CZK 7 billion year-on-year, of which CZK 6.1 billion was due to decreased realization prices of generated electricity). The proposed dividend for 2016 is CZK 33 per share.

CEZ Group reports CZK 14.7bn as its net income in the first three quarters of this year. After adjustment for extraordinary effects that are generally unrelated to ordinary financial performance, its net income was CZK 16.7bn. Its EBITDA was CZK 43.8bn. Decreasing realization prices of electricity accounted for CZK 4.5bn of the year-on-year decrease of CZK 4.6bn.

In the first half of 2016 CEZ Group has achieved a net profit of CZK 13.8 billion, down by 10% year-on-year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) totaled CZK 33.1 billion, falling by CZK 2.4 billion year-on-year. This has primarily been caused by the lower exercise prices of produced electricity. This influence has resulted in a year-on-year decline of CZK 3.2 billion.
