The Management Board of Energa SA (“Issuer”) informs that on 19 May 2020 obtained information from Elektrownia Ostrołęka Sp. z o.o. (“Company”), responsible for development of 1000 MW coal power plant Ostrołeka C located in Ostrołęka (“Project”), about impairment losses creation on the Company’s non-current assets in amount of PLN 1 027 million.
The Company informed that the impairment losses mentioned above are a consequence of evaluated impairment test of non-current assets, according to revised business assumptions of the coal-based Project.
The share in the Company’s loss, within the equity method, included in the consolidated financial statements of Energa Group reduced the value of the investment in the Company to PLN zero. At the same time, it was a premise to create the total impairment loss of the value of Company’s stakes in the Issuer's non-consolidated financial statements.
The estimated impact of the events mentioned above on the consolidated net result of Energa Group for 2019 is PLN -443 million, and on the standalone net result of Energa SA for 2019 PLN -453 million. In both cases this is the event of a non-cash nature, which decreases the net result without affecting EBITDA.
