Values. To us, management means creating values: for people, society and the environment. Annual Financial Report 2012 Design concept for charts and tables The depiction of charts and tables corresponds to the concept of “SIMPLE, UNIFORM, CLEAR” from Roman Griesfelder (aspektum gmbh). They are prepared according to the recommendations of Prof. Rolf Hichert. Column/bar width Wide columns or bars represent measure- ment parameters that can be physically counted. Examples: MW, GWh, employees Medium columns or bars represent aggregated values. Examples: €k, €m, €bn Narrow columns or bars represent values in euros per unit. Examples: €/share, €/MWh Lines or dotted lines represent shares, quotients or indices. Examples: Dividend yield in %, indexed share price, GDP growth in % Colours Current year Neutral Previous years Targets VERBUND Emphasis Five-year comparison VERBUND Group 2012 Unit 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Revenue1 €m 3,744.7 3,483.1 3,307.9 3,027.7 3,174.3 Operating result2 €m 1,138.6 1,042.3 828.5 1,030.0 900.2 Operating result before effects from impairment tests2 €m 1,138.6 1,042.3 828.5 827.8 955.9 EBITDA2 €m 1,321.8 1,251.5 1,059.2 1,069.5 1,233.9 Group result2 €m 686.6 644.4 400.8 355.8 389.3 Balance sheet total €m 8,293.8 10,345.2 11,291.0 11,859.3 12,387.3 Equity2 €m 3,128.1 3,409.7 4,372.4 4,919.1 5,099.4 Net debt2, 5, 6 €m 2,753.2 4,788.9 4,233.9 4,050.1 3,311.7 Additions to property, plant and equipment €m 440.3 471.9 635.7 581.4 680.3 Cash flow from operating activities €m 934.2 968.0 778.2 829.9 1,034.7 Free cash flow €m – 187.5 – 1,075.7 – 355.8 43.6 272.6 EBITDA margin1, 2 % 35.3 35.9 32.0 35.3 38.9 Return on sales (EBIT margin)1, 2 % 30.4 29.9 25.0 34.0 28.4 Return on capital employed (ROCE)2, 5 % 16.7 12.9 8.2 6.9 6.3 Return on equity (ROE)2 % 27.3 22.4 12.9 10.0 10.0 Equity ratio (adjusted)2 % 41.3 34.3 39.9 43.0 42.6 Gearing2 % 88.0 140.4 96.8 82.3 64.9 Gross debt coverage (FFO)2 % 36.3 20.2 17.6 19.5 20.6 Gross interest cover (FFO)2, 3 X 7.1 4.8 3.6 3.9 4.5 Share price high € 59.30 38.13 32.12 32.47 23.00 Share price low € 29.74 23.73 24.24 17.91 14.50 Closing price € 32.56 29.71 27.88 20.74 18.76 Market capitalisation €m 10,034.99 9,156.62 9,685.95 7,203.66 6,517.52 Earnings per share2, 4 € 2.23 2.09 1.28 1.02 1.12 Cash flow per share4 € 3.03 3.14 2.49 2.39 2.98 Carrying amount per share2 € 9.30 10.12 11.62 12.42 12.83 Price/earnings ratio (last trading day)2 X 14.61 14.21 21.71 20.25 16.74 Price/cash flow ratio4 X 10.74 9.46 11.18 8.68 6.30 Price/book value ratio2 X 3.50 2.94 2.40 1.67 1.46 (Proposed) dividend per share € 1.05 1.00 0.55 0.55 0.60 Special dividend per share € – 0.25 – – – Dividend yield % 3.22 4.21 1.97 2.65 3.20 Payout ratio2 % 47.13 59.79 47.67 53.71 53.54 Enterprise value/EBITDA2 X 9.7 11.1 13.1 10.5 8.0 Average number of employees 2,541 2,820 3,015 3,045 3,100 Electricity sales volume1 GWh 56,057 51,289 55,729 46,887 47,483 Hydro coefficient 1.01 1.06 0.99 0.89 1.11 1 The key figures were adjusted to reflect the changes in accounting treatment for energy derivatives in the wholesale portfolio.

In what was probably our most important decision, we will be exchanging our Turkish equity interest for shares in Bavarian hydropower plants from German energy group E.ON. This move will improve our risk profile and strengthen our renewable generation portfolio by focusing on hydropower. Clear strategic focus VERBUND is today one of Europe’s leading hydropower groups. We plan to continue on the path we have chosen and to keep investing in renewable hydropower and wind power. In the process, we will concentrate all activities from generation to sales on our most important markets of Austria and Germany. With this focus and our in-depth market expertise, we are very well positioned to meet the new challenges arising from the fact that the electricity market is currently undergoing the most far-reaching changes since deregulation in 1999. Due to the transition of the European electricity generation system towards increased renewable energy, the failure of the CO2 market and weak electricity demand as a result of economic factors, electricity prices remain at a persistently low level. Concentration on hydropower and wind power Underlining the importance of hydropower for VERBUND is the acquisition of shares in 8 Bavarian run-of-river power plants with additional generation of more than 2 TWh per year, which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2013. Our largest hydropower project at present – the Reisseck II/Carinthia pumped storage power plant (430 MW) – is in the assembly phase, with the start of commissioning planned for 2014. The expansion of electricity generation is making progress on the Mur River in Styria, where we opened the Gössendorf power plant (19 MW) in 2012 and construction of the Kalsdorf power plant (19 MW) is progressing as scheduled. In addition, we are constantly modernising existing power plants, such as the Ybbs-Persenbeug/Lower Austria Danube power plant, to increase their efficiency. We also continuously work to expand electricity generation from wind power: 172 MW are already in operation and approximately 238 MW are under construction or ready for construction. In August 2012, we purchased 5 wind farms in Germany (86 MW). We are currently building 3 wind farms with a total of 57 MW in the Lower Austrian Bruck an der Leitha district, which will more than double our wind power capacity in Austria. In Romania, the Casimcea I wind farm (99 MW) was put into operation in September 2012, and the second wind farm (102 MW) is under construction. ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT Group 7 Core markets of Austria and Germany In December 2012, we announced an asset swap with E.ON. This entails VERBUND relinquishing its equity interest in Enerjisa Enerji A.S., its Turkish joint venture, and in return acquiring ownership of shares in Bavarian hydropower plants. The asset swap is set to be completed in the first half of 2013.
