1 Group equity story March 2012 E.ON Cleaner & better energy

2 Key drivers of E.ON s transformation Five key drivers Europe Focused & synergistic positioning Investment Less capital, more value Performance Efficiency & effective organization Cleaner & better energy Outside Europe Targeted expansion 1 Divest noncore assets 2 Safeguard financial strength 3 Expand in targeted growth areas 4 Increase efficiency, improve organization 5 Improve capital management Position E.ON for the future 2

3 1 Divest noncore assets Disposal target and delivery ~ 15bn ~ 9.5bn Pending 1 ~ 0.4bn Closed 2011 ~ 6.5bn Transactions Key transactions Central Networks for 4.8bn EV 3.5% stake in Gazprom for 3.4bn Italian gas distribution network for 0.3bn EV 40% stake in HSE for 0.3bn 10 other transactions for ~ 0.7bn: 10% in Stadtwerke Karlsruhe, 20% in Stadtwerke Duisburg, Robin Rigg OFTO, E.ON Bulgaria, etc Disposal target end 2013 Disposals as per March 2012 Closed 2010 ~ 2.6bn Potential disposal candidates OGE (German gas transmission network) E.ON EnergyfromWaste E.ON Westfalen Weser Divested broad range of assets at attractive conditions; simplify Group 1. Signed but not yet closed 3

4 2 Safeguard financial strength Debt significantly reduced bn Financial net debt Economic net debt Comfortable liquidity position Strong liquidity position 11.9bn of liquid funds & noncurrent securities Undrawn 6.0bn revolving credit facility 10bn + $10bn commercial paper programs 2009A 2011A No nearterm refinancing needs: upcoming bond maturities do not require funding activities in x 3.4x Debt factor <3.0x With 1.5bn negative oneoff Without 1.5bn negative oneoff Longterm and wellbalanced debt maturity profile Effective duration of issued bonds: 6.6 years 2011A Target Regaining financial flexibility 4

5 3 Expansion: Example outside Europe (I) Brazil first new region projected demand growth up to 5% p.a. GW e 2020e Actual Projected Growth potential and risk/return profile Well diversified economy with strong growth across many sectors, sustainable demographics, and stable political system Brazilian power demand is expected to grow at about same rate as GDP for next few years Excellent energy management system: Longterm generation planning from regulator allows attractive margins to deliver new capacity In PPA framework, commodity price risk and volume risk managed at system level Passthrough of cost to consumers systematically done, PPAs honored Attractive growth at measured risk 5

6 3 Expansion: Example outside Europe (II) Assets brought into JV MPX assets outside JV Power plants in operation (24 MW) Power plants in execution (3 GW) Paranaiba Basin gas fields Seival coal mine Castillia TPP (Chile) 2.1 GW coal 100% MPX Seival & Sul TPP 1.3 GW coal 100% MPX Parnaiba TPP 2.2 GW gas 70% MPX Superport Açu project 2.1 GW coal 3.3 GW gas 100% MPX Agreement with MPX E.ON will acquire 10% of MPX through ~ 350m capital increase E.ON will form 50% JV with MPX MPX assets brought into JV 50% of interest in 11 GW of current projects under development E.ON interest 3.4 GW 100% of future projects MPX assets kept outside JV 24 MW in operation and 3 GW of projects in execution E.ON interest 0.3 GW Stakes in coal mine and gas fields Uniquely advantageous fuel supply providing competitive edge in PPA auctions Agreement with MPX marks first step in strategy execution outside Europe 6

7 3 Expansion: Example outside Europe (III) Entry strategy Focus on conventional and on renewable generation Agreement with MPX Economic interest in 3.7 GW of conventional power plant projects Clear ambition to expand in renewables Highly disciplined investment approach focused on organic development Limited upfront investment to acquire 10% of MPX Large project pipeline in JV Cooperate with blue chip local partner to combine own expertise with local market knowhow Limit commodity exposure through business model design MPX is a division of the Eike Batista s EBX Group, with businesses in power generation, coal mining and natural gas E&P in South America In PPA framework, system carries commodity price and volume risks Generator manages remaining operational risks Agreement with MPX fulfills all criteria of announced entry strategy 7

25 German nuclear Decommissioning and waste management provisions Schematic profile cash out after shut down Schematic profile of decommissioning and waste management cash out for typical NPP after shut down m/gw in real terms Years after shutdown Waste management Cooldown phase Dismantling phase Comments All costs after shutdown covered by decommissioning and waste management provisions Decommissioning (including final storage) is about 1.5bn (nominal) Waste Management is about 1.0bn nominal Main components of the provisions Cooldown phase: ~7 years, relatively predictable, as costs structure similar to plant in operation but on lower level Dismantling phase: ~12 years, estimated every few years by independent appraiser (Nuklear Ingenieur Service, NIS) Waste management costs: main drivers are costs for containers, conditioning, interim and final storage Cooldown phase weighs heavily in total of decommissioning costs 25

26 German nuclear From costs to provision Schematic nuclear provision for a typical NPP m/gw Years before/after shutdown 1600 Decommissioning 1400 costs in nominal terms Decommissioning costs in real 800 terms Nuclear provision in real terms Nuclear provision in nominal terms At any point in time, decommissioning provisions are simply the present value of the future cash flows related to decommissioning Accountingwise, decommissioning provisions are thus similar to a bundle of zerocoupon obligations Real problem is to estimate future cash outflows: as they stretch over long periods into the future, they are heavily impacted by inflation Estimating nuclear provisions in practice 1. Starting point: estimate of decommissioning costs at current prices (current cost estimate) 2. Current cost estimate is inflated at the escalation rate to the moment of effective cash outflow (shown below as all taking place in a single year) to estimate the effective cash outflow at future prices 3. Estimated future cash outflows discounted back to the present at the appropriate discount rate to calculate the nuclear provision 4 key parameters: current cost estimate, timing of cash flows, escalation rate, and discount rate Current cost estimate Nuclear provision Future cash outflow Cost escalation Discounting Main difficulty is to estimate decommissioning outflows over very long time frames 26

27 German nuclear Sensitivity of nuclear provisions Increase in current cost estimate Decommissioning moved forward Old nuclear provision 1. Escalating current cost estimate to obtain future cash outflow estimate 2. Discounting future cash flow estimate back to present to obtain nuclear provision New nuclear provision Current cost estimate 50% higher Escalation rate, discount rate and timing of future cash flow unchanged 3. Escalating higher current cost estimate yields higher future cash outflow estimate 4. Discounting higher future cash flow estimate back to present gives higher nuclear provision Nuclear provisions change in same proportion as current cost estimates: 50% increase in current cost estimate leads to 50% increase of nuclear provision Old nuclear provision 1. Escalating current cost estimate to obtain future cash outflow estimate 2. Discounting future cash flow estimate back to present to obtain nuclear provision New nuclear provision Timing of decommissioning cash flows moved forward Current cost estimate, escalation rate and discount rate unchanged 3. Escalating current cost estimate over fewer years leads to lower future cash flows 4. Discounting lower future cash flow estimate back to present over fewer years gives slightly higher nuclear provision Earlier decommissioning leads to only slightly higher nuclear provision because discounting over fewer years is partially offset by escalation over fewer years 1 Old / New current cost estimate Old / New future cash flow estimate Old / New nuclear provision 1. If escalation rate is lower than discount rate, which is normally the case. Old / New escalation from current cost estimate to future cash flow estimate Old / New discounting from future cash flow estimate to nuclear provision 27
