  • 1. Considering only the gross obligation amount, i.e. assuming no movements in Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund. ARO interest rates are derived (country-specific and term-specific) from market data.

  • 2. Considering only defined benefit obligations (DBO), i.e. assuming no movements in plan assets. The discount rates used in the Uniper Group are essentially based on currency-specific returns available at the end of the respective fiscal year on high-quality corporate bonds and consider the average duration of the respective underlying obligations. The weighted-average duration ofthe defined benefit obligations measured within the Uniper Group as of December 31, 2020, is 22.8Y (2019: 22.9Y).

    Russia: Negative volume/price effects, mainly driven by lower day-ahead prices and lower demand; negative FX-effect

1. Reduced by receivables from the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund.

Due to IFRS valuation rules (IFRIC 5), €223 million (December 31, 2019: €291 million) of Uniper's share of the fair value of the net assets of the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund may not be capitalized on the balance sheet. Accordingly, there exists an additional receivable from the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund ineligible for recognition on the balance sheet, and the economic net obligation for the decommissioning of the Swedish nuclear power plants is thus reported too high

in the table by the amount of this receivable.

In giving this presentation, neither Uniper nor its respective agents undertake any obligation to provide the recipient with access to any additional information or to update this presentation or any information or to correct any inaccuracies in any such information.

This presentation contains certain financial measures (including forward-looking measures) that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS and are therefore considered as "Non-IFRS financial measures". The management of Uniper believes that the Non-IFRS financial measures used by Uniper, when considered in conjunction with (but not in lieu of) other measures that are computed in accordance with IFRS, enhance an understanding of Uniper's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. A number of these Non-IFRS financial measures are also commonly used by securities analysts, credit rating agencies and investors to evaluate and compare the periodic and future operating performance and value of Uniper and other companies with which Uniper competes. These Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation as a measure of Uniper's profitability or liquidity, and should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income and the other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with IFRS. In particular, there are material limitations associated with our use of Non-IFRS financial measures, including the limitations inherent in our determination of each of the relevant adjustments. The Non-IFRS financial measures used by Uniper may differ from, and not be comparable to, similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Certain numerical data, financial information and market data (including percentages) in this presentation have been rounded according to established commercial standards. As a result, the aggregate amounts (sum totals or interim totals or differences or if numbers are put in relation) in this presentation may not correspond in all cases to the amounts contained in the underlying (unrounded) figures appearing in the consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, in tables and charts, these rounded figures may not add up exactly to the totals contained in the respective tables and charts.
