RIsk AND RISK MANAGEMENT 44 Risk is part of the business for DONG Energy. The Group works actively to balance these risks, so that they either create value or are reduced Risks are an integral part of DONG Energy’s business. Some market risks are managed with a view to striking the right balance between value creation and associated risks. Here, movements in market prices can be an earnings opportunity as well as a competitive parameter. As far as other risks such as environmental, safety and technical risks are concerned, DONG Energy endeavours to completely eliminate these or, if this is not possible, to mitigate them as far as possible. Risk management The objective of risk management is to ensure that the risks that may affect implementation of strategy, including expected earnings, are identified, assessed and form an active part of day-to-day decision-making process. This helps underpin and optimise future value creation in accordance with DONG Energy’s strategy. In the years to come, the strategy will contribute to diversifying the Group’s risks, Selected material risks Market and credit risks Energy price risks • Oil and gas price risks • Price risks for thermal electricity generation • Price risks for renewable generation • Market trading Financial risks • Currency risks • Interest rate risks • Liquidity and fi nancing risks Credit risks Regulatory risks • Regulatory conditions • Tax regimes • Financial regulation partly because DONG Energy’s international growth will reduce the relative importance of Danish energy markets. Material risks can be divided into four main categories and are, to some extent, interdependent. The Group identifies and prioritises its risks annually in a risk matrix on the basis of materiality and probability.

Market and credit risks The Group’s net exposure to market risks is illustrated below. In the long term, the Group’s market risks are determined by its strategic choices and associated asset mix. DONG Energy mitigates its structural risks through, among other things, its technical and geographical diversification and the transition to greener electricity and heat generation, as described in the chapter Wind and biomass growth. Coupled with balancing of the oil and gas portfolio, this provides a diversified portfolio of assets with different risk profiles. To further reduce the fluctuations in the Group’s cash flows in the short and medium terms, price hedging contracts are entered into within the risk management time frame (up to five years). At the short end of the time frame, we want a high level of hedging to achieve a high degree of certainty with regard to cash flows, while the hedging level is lower in subsequent years. This approach is chosen partly because the underlying longer-term exposure is subject to greater uncertainty, and partly because the financial and physical markets are less liquid in the longer term. Overall, the diversification of the structural risk and management of the Group’s cash flows in the short and medium terms has a positive effect on DONG Energy’s capital structure target, as the fluctuations in earnings from the different activities are largely independent of each other and can therefore be assumed to balance each other out to some extent. Hedging strategy High Hedging percentage Low Commercial activities Purchase and production • Oil and gas production • Long-term wholesale gas contracts • Thermal electricity generation • Renewable generation Sale • Retail customers (gas and electricity) • Wholesale customers (gas and electricity) Up to 5 years Risk management principle Transfer of exposure Asset backed optimisation Time • Managing contract volumes and optimising contracts • Optimising physical and financial exposures DONG Energy’s principle for managing market risks is shown below. Where possible, all of the Group’s exposures from production and purchase and sales contracts within the management time frame are combined in the activity Asset-backed optimisation, where they are consolidated and optimised together. The consolidated exposure is then hedged via DONG Energy’s trading function (Market trading), which trades exposures in the market within given risk parameters. Market risks can be divided into energy price risks and financial risks. Financial risks comprise currency risks, interest rate risks and liquidity and financing risks. Energy price risks are affected by fluctuations in the prices of oil, gas, electricity, coal, CO and, to a lesser extent, other com- 2 modities. Part of the exposure depends on one specific price (direct price risks), while other parts depend on the difference between two or more prices (spread risks). Market price risk on direct price risks is higher than for spreadbased exposures as the prices of individual commodities are typically more volatile than the levels of wholly or partly correlated energy prices. The figure shows the exposure values for 2012 before and after hedging.
