Operating Revenues increased by 29% year-on-year to CZK 76.0 billion and Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) by CZK 25.8 billion to CZK 43.7 billion.

The Q1 results reflect record-high profits from commodity trading in Western European markets, high operational reliability of power plants and enormous growth in commodity prices on wholesale markets. In addition, specific temporary effects of nearly CZK 8 billion were positive, but these will be eliminated during 2022. Nevertheless, CEZ Group raises its full-year EBITDA guidance to CZK 95 to 99 billion and Net Income adjusted for extraordinary effects to CZK 45 to 49 billion.
