CEZ Company News - Updated 2030 Strategy puts financial targets in spotlight

Updated portfolio and strategy to yield CZK 65-70 bn EBITDA in 2025, CZK 80-85 bn in 2030, near-term target range in line with RBIes CZK 70 bn and consensus (CZK 66 bn)
Capex outlook increased to CZK 50-55 bn in the late 2020s as new CCGT and more renewables are to replace coal, above RBIe on new projects
2% coal share in revenues by 2030 targeted, still not meeting Paris-aligned benchmark for security of supply reasons, despite additional reduction of carbon intensity
Financial targets above expectations and with upside risk from higher CO2 and power prices, stable ratings target and dividend of 80-100% of profits suggest positive reading
