- Profit before tax: PLN 2,432 million,

- Net profit for the reporting period: PLN 1,970 million,

- Net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company: PLN 2,281 million,

- Capital expenditures on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets: PLN 1,341 million,

EBITDA in the distinct operating areas:

- Mining: PLN 271 million,

- Generation: PLN 1,665 million,

- Distribution: PLN 1,160 million,

- Trading: PLN 196 million.

Selected operating highlights:

- Net coal production: 3.5 million tons,

- Total net electricity generation: 9.8 TWh, of which: 0.7 TWh from biomass and 0.2 TWh from RES,

- Sales of distribution services to end users: 10.0 TWh,

- Sales of electricity and gaseous fuel to retail customers: 12.5 TWh.

The EBITDA result generated by the ENEA Group in H1 2024 was driven largely by the following factors (compared to H1 2023):

The lower EBITDA in the Mining Area resulted from a decrease in revenue from sales of coal. Despite the increase in coal sales volume, a lower sales price was realized.

In the Generation Area, the higher EBITDA was largely driven by improved EBITDA in the System Power Plants Segment. There was an increase in the turnover margin, an increase in revenues from the Capacity Market, Regulatory System Services and Balancing Capacity, while the result of the generation concession declined. The RES Segment saw a decrease in EBITDA due to the realization of a lower margin on the Green Unit (mainly as a result of lower electricity prices, with a decrease in the unit cost of biomass). The Heat Segment saw a decline in EBITDA, which was influenced by, among other things, a decline in the unit margin on heat, while fixed costs increased. In the Generation Area as a whole, the effect of the base of the corresponding period of the previous year relating to the costs incurred for the charge for the Price Difference Fund is significant.

In the Distribution Area, the improvement in EBITDA was driven by the higher margin realized on the concession business and higher result on other operating activities. At the same time, operating expenses went up.

In the Trading Area, the higher EBITDA was mainly due to an increase in the margin on the retail market. At the same time, there was a decline in recognized compensation income and a decline in the use of provisions related to onerous contracts.

On account of the application of settlements with eligible offtakers pursuant to the Act of 7 October 2022 on special solutions to protect electricity offtakers in 2024 in connection with the situation on the electricity market and on account of the application of the maximum price in accordance with the Act of 27 October 2022 on emergency measures to reduce electricity prices and support certain consumers in 2024, the ENEA Group recognized in H1 2024 compensation revenues in the total amount of PLN 898 million and in Q2 2024 in the total amount of PLN 392 million.

With reference to Current Report No. 28/2024 of the Management Board of Lubelski Węgiel Bogdanka S.A. (_quot;LWB_quot;) dated 27 August 2024, regarding the results of the asset impairment tests, the ENEA Group compared the results with the assessment of the recoverable value of the Mining CGU carried out from the perspective of the ENEA Group as of 31 December 2023, including consolidation adjustments as of 30 June 2024. Considering that the net asset value of the Mining CGU attributable to the ENEA Group is lower according to the ENEA Group perspective than the net asset value of the Mining CGU attributable to the ENEA Group according to the LWB test, it was deemed reasonable to continue reporting the net asset value of the Mining CGU from the ENEA Group perspective. The analysis also showed there was no need to update the value of the shares from ENEA S.A.'s perspective.

Please be advised that the foregoing figures are estimates and as such are subject to change, the final results will be presented in the periodic report of the ENEA Group for H1 2024 expected to be published on 18 September 2024.

The Company clarifies that the term EBITDA is defined as the value of operating profit (loss) + depreciation and amortization + impairment losses on non-financial non-current assets (values for the reporting period). The Net debt / LTM EBITDA ratio is equal to (loans, borrowings and non-current and current debt securities + non-current and current finance lease liabilities + non-current and current financial liabilities measured at fair value - cash and cash equivalents - non-current and current financial assets measured at fair value - non-current and current debt financial assets measured at amortized cost - other short-term investments) / LTM EBITDA. LTM EBITDA means EBITDA for the last 12 months.
