The&nbsp;EBITDA has grown by nearly EUR&nbsp;200 million yoy. The&nbsp;value of&nbsp;EPH assets dropped yoy (from EUR&nbsp;12.4 billion in&nbsp;2013 to EUR&nbsp;10.3 billion by the&nbsp;end of&nbsp;2014) due to the&nbsp;sale of&nbsp;EPH\u2019s stake in&nbsp;the&nbsp;gas trader SPP, a.s. On the&nbsp;contrary, consolidated free cash flows from operating activities (FCF before changes in&nbsp;debt, interest payments and&nbsp;payments to shareholders) increased by EUR&nbsp;285 million yoy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur 2014 results confirm that EPH\u2019s financial health is solid and&nbsp;that our development strategy followed over the&nbsp;past five years, in&nbsp;which we focused on growth in&nbsp;regulated and&nbsp;contract activities, was the&nbsp;right choice to make. Today, these generate the&nbsp;vast majority of&nbsp;EPH\u2019s operating profit. That is why, indeed, unlike other energy utilities, we felt a&nbsp;minimal impact of&nbsp;the&nbsp;global drop in&nbsp;the&nbsp;prices of&nbsp;commodities, including electric energy\u201d, said Daniel K\u0159et\u00ednsk\u00fd, Chairman of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Board of&nbsp;EPH. \u201cOur long-term assessments and&nbsp;the&nbsp;situation on the&nbsp;European energy market confirm our conviction that this is in&nbsp;fact the&nbsp;right time to boost our presence in&nbsp;power generation in&nbsp;conventional plants. However, our approach will be selective and&nbsp;we are looking at some countries only\u201d, Mr K\u0159et\u00ednsk\u00fd added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The consolidated revenues of&nbsp;Energetick\u00fd a&nbsp;pr\u016fmyslov\u00fd holding, a.s.
