EBITDA rose by CZK 0.9 bn (1.9%) year on year to CZK 49.2 bn. Net Income grew by 5.3% y-o-y to CZK 28.6 bn. The CEZ Group has not changed its expected results for the entire year; EBITDA is expected to reach CZK 81 bn and Net Income CZK 37.5 bn. The main factor behind the y-o-y Net Income growth was the end of operations in Albania, correction factors for distribution in the Czech Republic, and trading in emission allowances. Negative factors included in particular declining electricity prices, a lower quantity of emission allowances allocated for production, and the overall uncertainty concerning the future direction of the energy sector.
