●

Revenues¹for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were approximately €8.2 million, compared to revenues of approximately €11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

●

Loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately €4.6 million, compared to net profit from continuing operations of approximately €3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately €4.9 million, compared to net profit of approximately €3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

●

EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately €1.6 million, compared to EBITDA of approximately €4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. See below under “Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” for additional disclosure concerning EBITDA.

●

On December 31, 2023, the Company executed an agreement to sell its holdings in the 9 MW solar plant located in Talmei Yosef. The sale was consummated following the balance sheet date, on June 3, 2024, and the net consideration received at closing was approximately NIS 42.6 million (approximately €10.6 million). In connection with the expected sale, the Company presents the results of this solar plant as a discontinued operation and the results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were adjusted accordingly.

Financial Overview for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

●

Revenues were approximately €8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately €11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in revenues mainly results from the decrease in electricity prices in Spain.

●

Operating expenses were approximately €4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately €6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses mainly results from a decrease in direct taxes on turnover paid by the Company’s Spanish subsidiaries as a result of reduced electricity prices. The operating expenses of the Company’s Spanish subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were impacted by the Spanish RDL 17/2022, which established the reduction of returns on the electricity generating activity of Spanish production facilities that do not emit greenhouse gases, accomplished through payments of a portion of the revenues by the production facilities to the Spanish government. Depreciation and amortization expenses were approximately €4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately €4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

¹	The revenues presented in the Company’s financial results included in this press release are based on IFRS and do not take into account the adjustments included in the Company’s investor presentation.

●

Project development costs were approximately €1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately €1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in project development costs is mainly due to development expenses in connection with solar projects in the USA, Italy, and Israel.

●

General and administrative expenses were approximately €1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately €1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses is mostly due to higher consultancy expenses.

●

The Company’s share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately €1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately €1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in share of profits of equity accounted investee was mainly due to lower financing expenses incurred by Dorad for the period as a result of the CPI indexation of loans from banks.

●

Financing expenses, net, were approximately €3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to financing income of approximately €1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in financing expenses, net, was mainly attributable to expenses resulting from exchange rate differences amounted to approximately €0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to income resulting from exchange rate differences of approximately €4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an aggregate change of approximately €5.1 million. The exchange rate differences were mainly recorded in connection with the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) cash and cash equivalents and the Company’s NIS denominated debentures and were caused by the 0.8% appreciation of the NIS against the euro during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a 4.8% devaluation of the NIS against the euro during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in financing expenses was partially offset by an increase in financing income of approximately €0.5 million in connection with derivatives and warrants in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.

●

Tax benefit was approximately €0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to taxes on income of approximately €1.4 million in three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in tax is mainly due to deferred tax recorded in connection with carry forward loss for which deferred tax were not previously recorded, partially offset by the decrease in electricity prices in Spain, resulting in lower taxable income of the Company’s Spanish subsidiaries.

●

Loss from discontinued operation (net of tax) was approximately €0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a profit from discontinued operation of approximately €0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

●

Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately €4.9 million, compared to net profit of approximately €3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

●

Total other comprehensive income was approximately €12 million for three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to total other comprehensive loss of approximately €26.6 million in three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in total other comprehensive loss mainly results from changes in fair value of cash flow hedges, including a material decrease in the fair value of the liability resulting from the financial power swap that covers approximately 80% of the output of the Talasol solar plant (the “Talasol PPA”). The Talasol PPA experienced a high volatility due to the substantial change in electricity prices in Europe. In accordance with hedge accounting standards, the changes in the Talasol PPA’s fair value are recorded in the Company’s shareholders’ equity through a hedging reserve and not through the accumulated deficit/retained earnings. The changes do not impact the Company’s consolidated net profit/loss or the Company’s consolidated cash flows.

●

Total comprehensive income was approximately €7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to total comprehensive loss of approximately €29.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

●

EBITDA was approximately €1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately €4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

●

Net cash from operating activities was approximately €1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately €1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

●

On January 16, 2024, the Company issued in an Israeli public offering units consisting of an aggregate principal amount of NIS 170 million of its newly issued Series F Debentures, due March 31, 2030, and the Series 2 Options to purchase an aggregate of 1,020,000 ordinary shares at a price per share of NIS 80 (subject to customary adjustments), which expire on January 5, 2028. The net proceeds of the offering, net of related expenses such as consultancy fee and commissions, were approximately NIS 165 million (approximately €40 million as of the issuance date).

On April 17, 2024, the Company issued NIS 40 million par value of the Series F Debentures in a private placement to Israeli classified investors for an aggregate gross consideration of approximately NIS 37.8 million (approximately €9.4 million as of the issuance date), reflecting a price of NIS 0.946 per NIS 1 principal amount of the Series F Debentures. Following completion of the private placement, the aggregate outstanding par value of the Company’s Series F Debentures is NIS 210 million.

CEO Review for the First Quarter of 2024

Revenues in the first quarter of 2024 were approximately €8.2 million, compared to revenues of approximately €11.7 million in the corresponding quarter last year. Most of the decrease in revenues was due to the drop in prices in Spain, which subtracted approximately €3 million from the revenues.

Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2024 decreased by approximately €1.8 million compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Project development expenses in the first quarter of 2024 increased by approximately €0.3 million compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Project development expenses included non-recurring expenses of approximately €0.8 million. Excluding such non-recurring expenses, there was a decrease in project development expenses.

Activity in Spain:

In May 2024, the Ellomay Solar project (capacity of 28 MW) reached financial closing of project finance in the amount of €10 million for 16 years at an annual interest rate, fixed through an interest rate swap deal, of approximately 3%. After receiving the financing, the majority of the equity invested in the project was returned.

In the first quarter of 2024, the trend of a strong decrease in electricity prices in Europe continued, with the exception of Italy where prices remained stable. The decrease in electricity prices in Spain was approximately 70% compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023. The most significant decrease was in March 2024, in which prices decreased by approximately 90% compared to the corresponding quarter in 2023. The main reasons for the decrease in prices in Spain during the first quarter are the relatively warm winter by 6 to 8 degrees (Celsius) above average on the one hand and substantial rainfall that caused a sharp increase in hydroelectric power generation on the other hand, when in March alone the power generation from hydro sources jumped from 2000 GW in the corresponding month in 2023 to 4700 GW. The high output of hydroelectricity also caused a corresponding decrease in the prices of green certificates. A return to normative prices was recorded only in June 2024. In the Company’s estimation, this is an unusual event that affected the entire electricity sector in Europe.

Despite the significant drop in electricity prices in Spain, the Company’s revenues from the sale of electricity in Spain for the first quarter of 2024 did not decrease at the same rate, and stood at approximately €4.2 million, compared to revenues of approximately €7.2 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The main reason for the significant drop in electricity prices in Spain not fully impacting the Company’s revenues is that most of the electricity the Company sells in Spain is under a long-term PPA.

Activity of Dorad:

In the first quarter of 2024, the Dorad power plant recorded an increase in profit, with net profit of approximately NIS 65.6 million, an increase of approximately NIS 11.7 million compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The Dorad power station received the approval of the National Infrastructures Committee and a positive connection survey to increase the capacity by an additional 650 MW. In addition, as of July 1, 2024, the power plant will participate in the system manager’s supply tenders.

Activity in the USA:

In the USA, the development and construction activities of solar projects are progressing at a rapid pace and the construction of the first four projects, with a total capacity of approximately 49 MW, began in early 2024. Completion of construction and connection to the grid of two projects (in an aggregate capacity of approximately 27 MW) is expected by the end of 2024 and of the other two projects (in an aggregate capacity of approximately 22 MW) is expected in early 2025. Additional projects with an aggregate capacity of approximately 30-40 MW intended for construction in 2025 are under development.

Activity in Italy:

In Italy, the construction of a solar project with a capacity of approximately 18 MW (ELLO 10) has begun, and its construction is expected to be completed in September 2024, this is in addition to solar projects with a capacity of 20 MW whose construction has been completed. Of the 20 MW whose construction has been completed, 10 MW were connected to the grid in the first quarter of 2024 and another 10 MW are expected to be connected soon. Therefore, the increase in income from the sale of electricity in Italy will be reflected mainly in the second half of 2024. The construction prices of solar projects in Italy are declining from record levels of approximately €900 thousand per MW to approximately €675 thousand as of today, and the trend may continue. The Company is negotiating with the contractor for construction agreements adjusted to the new market prices. In addition to the 20 MW built and the 18 MW under construction, the Company has 467 MW of solar projects under development, of which 165 MW are ready for construction and 302 MW are in very advanced stages.

New legislation in Italy prohibits the establishment of new projects on agricultural land. This prohibition increases the value of the Company’s portfolio, which is not located on agricultural land. The Company estimates that new possibilities are emerging for obtaining a PPA in Italy, therefore it is expected that project financing will be possible more easily and at lower costs. Considering these developments, and the decrease in construction costs, the Company believes that its decision to slow down the pace of construction commencements to meet lower construction and financing costs was correct. Electricity prices in Italy maintain a stable level. Italy is the only country in Europe where no negative electricity prices were recorded. The main reason is local gas-based electricity generation, and no change is expected in the short and medium term.

Activity in Israel:

The Manara Cliff Pumped Storage Project (Company’s share is 83.34%): A project with a capacity of 156 MW, which is in advanced construction stages. The Iron Swords War, which commenced on October 7, 2023, stopped the construction work on the project. The project has protection from the state for damages and losses due to the war within the framework of the tariff regulation (covenants that support financing). The project was expected to reach commercial operation during the first half of 2027 and the continuation of the Iron Swords war will cause a delay in the date of activation. The Israeli Electricity Authority currently approved a postponement of ten months of the dates for the project. The Company and its partner in the project, Ampa, invested the equity required for the project (other than linkage differences), and the remainder of the funding is from a consortium of lenders led by Mizrahi Bank, at a scope of approximately NIS 1.18 billion.

Development of Solar licenses combined with storage:

1.	The Komemiyut and Qelahim Projects: each intended for 21 solar MW and 50 MW / hour batteries. The sale of electricity will be conducted through a private supplier. Commencement of construction is planned for the first quarter of 2025.

The Company waived the rights it won in a solar / battery tender process in connection with these projects and therefore paid a forfeiture of guarantee in the amount of NIS 1.8 million and is in advanced negotiations with a local supplier for the execution of a long-term PPA.

2.	The Talmei Yosef Project: intended for 10 solar MW and 22 MW / hour batteries. The request for zoning approval was approved in the fourth quarter of 2023.

3.	The Talmei Yosef Storage Project in Batteries: there is a zoning approval for approximately 400 MW / hour. The project is designed for the regulation of high voltage storage.

The Company also has approximately 46 solar MW under preliminary planning stages.

Activity in the Netherlands:

During the first quarter of 2024, the operational improvement in the Company’s biogas plants continued and high production levels were maintained. In addition, significant progress was made in the process of obtaining the licenses to increase production by about 50% in the three plants. Increasing production will require only small investments and is expected to increase income and EBITDA. The establishment of the new government in the Netherlands enables the continuation of the legislative process mandating the obligation to mix green gas with fossil gas and the conclusion of the legislative process is expected soon. This legislation is expected to have a positive effect on the prices of green gas and the price of the accompanying green certificates.

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 operating 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 measure presented by other companies. The Company’s EBITDA may not be indicative of the Company’s historic operating results; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. The Company uses this measure internally as performance measure and believes that when this measure is combined with IFRS measure it add useful information concerning the Company’s operating performance. A reconciliation between results on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis is provided on page 17 of this press release.

Financial Covenants

Pursuant to the Deeds of Trust governing the Company’s Series C, Series D, Series E and Series F Debentures (together, the “Debentures”), the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants. For more information, see Items 4.A and 5.B of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2023, and below.

Net Financial Debt

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s Net Financial Debt, (as such term is defined in the Deeds of Trust of the Company’s Debentures), was approximately €102.5 million (consisting of approximately €300.2²million of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations, approximately €186.3³million in connection with the Series C Debentures issuances (in July 2019, October 2020, February 2021 and October 2021), the Series D Convertible Debentures issuance (in February 2021), the Series E Secured Debentures issuance (in February 2023) and the Series F Debentures issuance (in January 2024)), net of approximately €83.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and marketable securities and net of approximately €300.2⁴ million of project finance and related hedging transactions of the Company’s subsidiaries).

The amount of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest-bearing financial obligations provided above, includes an amount of approximately €4.7 million costs associated with such debt, which was capitalized and therefore offset from the debt amount that is recorded in the Company’s balance sheet.

The amount of the debentures provided above includes an amount of approximately €1.6 million associated costs, which was capitalized and therefore offset from the debentures amount that is recorded in the Company’s balance sheet.

⁴

The project finance amount deducted from the calculation of Net Financial Debt includes project finance obtained from various sources, including financing entities and the minority shareholders in project companies held by the Company (provided in the form of shareholders’ loans to the project companies).

The Deed of Trust governing the Company’s Series C Debentures (as amended on June 6, 2022, the “Series C Deed of Trust”), 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 March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Series C Deed of Trust as follows: (i) the Company’s Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity (as defined in the Series C Deed of Trust) was approximately €117.1 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 Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity plus the Net Financial Debt) was 46.7%, and (iii) the ratio of the Company’s Net Financial Debt to the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA⁵, was 5.5.

The following is a reconciliation between the Company’s profit and the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Series C Deed of Trust) for the four-quarter period ended March 31, 2024:

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 PV Plant, 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.

The term “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined in the Series E 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 PV Plant, are calculated based on the fixed asset model and not based on the financial asset model (IFRIC 12), and before share-based payments, when the data of assets or projects whose Commercial Operation Date (as such term is defined in the Series E Deed of Trust) occurred in the four quarters that preceded the relevant date will be calculated based on Annual Gross Up (as such term is defined in the Series E Deed of Trust). The Series E 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 E Debentures.
