Ellomay Capital Reports Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

Talasol Project reaches financial closing
Revenues up 26% and Gross profit up 37% compared to H1 2018

Tel-Aviv, Israel, September 25, 2019 – Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American; TASE: ELLO) (“Ellomay” or the “Company”), a renewable energy and power generator and developer of renewable energy and power projects in Europe and Israel, today reported its unaudited financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay commented: “The results for first half of 2019 reflect an increase of approximately 26% in revenues and approximately 37% in gross profit compared to the first half of 2018. These results are in line with the company’s projections. Project development expenses increased by approximately €1 million compared to the corresponding period last year. An approximate change of €2 million in financing expenses resulted from currency fluctuations (devaluation of the euro against the NIS during this period resulting in expenses in the amount of approximately €1.3 million, compared to a revaluation during the corresponding period last year resulting in income of approximately €0.7 million). Total equity increased from approximately €77 million to approximately €82.6 million, mainly as a result of the premium in connection with the sale of 49% of Talasol’s shares. The company generated positive operating cash flow from of approximately €1.1 million. The company continues to intensively develop projects of significant size in the solar energy sector in Italy and Spain, and is vigorously working to promote the Menara cliff project.

Construction of the Talasol project (300 MWh in Spain) is advancing as planned. Most of the infrastructure work has been completed and the installation of the facilities is expected to begin shortly. Works to construct the high voltage line (22 kilometers long) have also begun. The Talasol project is expected to be operational in Q4 2020.

The works to construct a drying silo facility in the Netherlands’ biogas plant are expected to end shortly and commencing the fourth quarter of 2019 the plants are expected to produce in full capacity. In parallel, we are advancing the issuance of permits that are expected to enable doubling the amount of waste that can be processed at the existing facilities.”

Financial Highlights

Revenues were approximately €10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately €8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in revenues is mainly a result of the commencement of operations of the Company’s waste-to-energy project in Oude Tonge, the Netherlands in June 2018 and relatively higher levels of radiation in Italy during 2019 compared to 2018.
 
Operating expenses were approximately €3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately €2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in operating expenses is mainly attributable to additional operating expenses resulting from the commencement of operations at the Company’s waste-to-energy project in Oude Tonge, the Netherlands. Depreciation expenses were approximately €3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately €2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
 
Project development costs were approximately €2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately €1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in project development costs is mainly attributable to consultancy expenses in connection with the project to construct a 156 MW pumped storage hydro power plant in the Manara Cliff, Israel, or the Manara Project.
 
General and administrative expenses were approximately €1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately €2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
 
Company’s share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately €0.03 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately €0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in the Company’s share of profit of equity accounted investee is mainly attributable to higher financial expenses incurred by Dorad Energy Ltd., in which the Company indirectly holds 9.375%, as a result of the CPI indexation of loans from banks and related parties.
 

Financing expenses, net was approximately €3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately €0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in financing expenses was mainly due to expenses in connection with exchange rate differences amounting to approximately €1.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, mainly in connection with our NIS denominated Debentures and the loan to an equity accounted investee, caused by the 5.4% devaluation of the euro against the NIS during this period, compared to income in connection with exchange rate differences amounting to approximately €0.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly in connection with our NIS denominated Debentures and the loan to an equity accounted investee, caused by the 2.5% revaluation of the euro against the NIS during this period.
 
Taxes on income was approximately €0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a tax benefit of approximately €0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2018 resulted mainly from deferred tax income included in connection with the application of a tax incentive in the Netherlands claimable upon filing the relevant tax return by reducing the amount of taxable profit.
 
Net loss was approximately €4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately €1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
 
Total other comprehensive loss was approximately €0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a profit of approximately €1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The change was mainly due to changes in fair value of cash flow hedges and from foreign currency translation differences on New Israeli Shekel denominated operations, as a result of fluctuations in the euro/NIS exchange rates.
 
Total comprehensive loss was approximately €4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately €2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
 
EBITDA was approximately €2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately €2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
 
Net cash from operating activities was approximately €1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately €2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in net cash from operating activities is mainly due to a higher interest payment received during 2018 on a loan to an equity accounted investee.
 
On April 30, 2019, the Talasol Project reached financial closing and the Company consummated the sale of 49% of the outstanding shares of Talasol for an aggregate purchase price of approximately €16.1 million. The purchase price represents 49% of our interests in Talasol (approximately €9.8 million) plus a premium of approximately €6.3 million. Such premium, net of approximately €0.7 million associated expenses, was recognized in Equity, as the sale transaction did not result in loss of control.
 
As of September 1, 2019, the Company held approximately €75.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately €2.2 million in marketable securities and approximately €11.1 million in restricted short-term and long-term cash and marketable securities.
 
Use of NON-IFRS Financial Measures

EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before financial expenses, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company presents this measure in order to enhance the understanding of the Company’s historical financial performance and to enable comparability between periods. While the Company considers EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in accordance with IFRS as a measure of profitability or liquidity. EBITDA does not take into account the Company’s commitments, including capital expenditures, and restricted cash and, accordingly, is not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for discretionary uses. Not all companies calculate EBITDA in the same manner, and the measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. The Company’s EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. A reconciliation between results on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis is provided in the last table of this press release.

Information for the Company’s Series C Debenture Holders

In July 2019, the Company issued NIS 89,065,000 Series C Debentures in a public offering in Israel. The Deed of Trust governing the Series C Debentures includes an undertaking by the Company to maintain certain financial covenants, whereby a breach of such financial covenants for two consecutive quarters is a cause for immediate repayment. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Series C Deed of Trust as follows: (i) the Company’s shareholders’ equity was € 82.6 million, (ii) the ratio of the Company’s Net Financial Debt (as set forth above) to the Company’s CAP, Net (defined as the Company’s consolidated shareholders’ equity plus the Net Financial Debt was 35.2% and (iii) the ratio of the Company’s Net Financial Debt to the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA(1) was 3.8.
_____________________________
(1) The term “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined in the Series C Deed of Trust as earnings before financial expenses, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization, where the revenues from the Company’s operations, such as the Talmei Yosef project, are calculated based on the fixed asset model and not based on the financial asset model (IFRIC 12), and before share-based payments. The Series C Deed of Trust provides that for purposes of the financial covenant, the Adjusted EBITDA will be calculated based on the four preceding quarters, in the aggregate. The Adjusted EBITDA is presented in this press release as part of the Company’s undertakings towards the holders of its Series C Debentures. For a general discussion of the use of non-IFRS measures, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA see above under “Use of NON-IFRS Financial Measures.”

The following is a reconciliation between our net profit (loss) and the Adjusted EBITDA for the four-quarter period ended June 30, 2019:
