Uniper SE: Uniper successfully closes the 2023 financial year with an
Adjusted EBIT of over EUR 6.3 billion and records a likely payment
obligation towards the Federal Republic of Germany in connection with the
granted state aid

Based on preliminary figures, Uniper expects an Adjusted EBIT of over EUR
6.3 billion for the financial year 2023 which is within the forecast of EUR
6 to 7 billion. The Adjusted Net Income amounts to over EUR 4.4 billion and
is also within the forecast of EUR 4 to 5 billion.

In the financial year 2023, Uniper benefited from a favourable market
environment, particularly from hedging transactions in the area of
electricity generation from coal and gas-fired power plants and in the gas
midstream business. In addition, successful forward transactions to hedge
outstanding gas supply obligations resulting from the curtailment of Russian
gas supplies had a positive impact on earnings. This positive one-off effect
accumulated to around EUR 2.3 billion in the 2023 financial year and made a
significant contribution to the exceptional annual result for the past
financial year.

Uniper will recognise a provision of approx. EUR 2.3 billion in the
consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2023 for a likely
payment obligation towards the Federal Republic of Germany in connection
with the state aid granted in 2022. This payment obligation, with the final
amount still dependent on the annual result for 2024, will fall due at the
beginning of 2025 and should be paid from existing liquid funds. The
recognition of this provision will have a full impact on the annual result
of Uniper.

In December 2022, the European Commission approved state aid to Uniper
subject to certain conditions. The Federal Republic of Germany then provided
state aid to Uniper in the financial year 2022 in the amount of approx. EUR
13.5 billion. In accordance with the EU state aid decision dated 20 December
2022, in conjunction with the framework agreement concluded between the
Federal Republic of Germany and Uniper on 19 December 2022, Uniper is
obliged, among other commitments, to pay any potential overcompensation from
the state aid to the Federal Republic of Germany.

The definitions of the key performance indicators used are explained in the
Uniper SE Annual Report 2022.

All published figures and statements are preliminary and unaudited. As
announced, the detailed results for the financial year 2023 will be
published on 28 February 2024.
