TEL AVIV, Israel, March 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American: ELLO) (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 twelve month periods ended December 31, 2018.
Financial Highlights
- Revenues were approximately €18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately €13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in revenues is mainly a result of the commencement of operations of the Company’s two waste-to-energy projects (the “WtE Projects”) in the Netherlands (one in November 2017 and the other in June 2018) and the results for a full year of the photovoltaic plant in Talmei Yosef (the “Talmei Yosef PV Plant“), acquired in October 2017, partially offset by lower revenues in Italy due to relatively lower radiation levels in the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.
- Operating expenses were approximately €6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately €2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in operating expenses is mainly attributable to additional operating expenses resulting from the commencement of operations of the WtE Projects in the Netherlands, as WtE operations are characterized by higher operating expenses compared to PV operations, resulting from the components of raw materials and the costs of waste removal, and from the acquisition of the Talmei Yosef PV Plant. Depreciation expenses were approximately €5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately €4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.
- Project development costs were approximately €2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately €2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in project development costs is mainly attributable to consultancy expenses in connection with the project to promote the construction of a 300 MW photovoltaic plant in the municipality of Talaván, Cáceres, Spain (the “Talasol Project“).
- General and administrative expenses were approximately €3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately €2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted mainly from payment of approximately €0.4 million pursuant to a VAT assessment agreement from previous years in Israel and related expenses and from increased expenses resulting from the commencement of operations of the WtE Projects in the Netherlands and the acquisition of the Talmei Yosef PV Plant.
- Share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately €2.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately €1.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in the Company’s share of profit of equity accounted investee is mainly attributable to an increase in sales of electricity by Dorad due to increased production and to lower financial expenses incurred by Dorad as a result of the CPI indexation of loans from banks and related parties.
- Financing expenses, net was approximately €2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately €9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in financing expenses was mainly due to: (i) the reevaluation of the Company’s euro/US$ forward transactions and marketable securities in the aggregate profit amount of approximately €0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to a loss of approximately €3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, and (ii) income in connection with exchange rate differences amounting to approximately €0.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, mainly in connection with the NIS denominated Debentures, compared to expenses in the amount of approximately €3.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2017, mainly in connection with US dollar denominated cash and marketable securities, resulting from exchange rate differences caused by the 14% revaluation of the euro against the US$ during 2017. Following the change of presentation currency in 2017, the Company converted the majority of its cash and marketable securities from US dollar to euro.
- Taxes on income were approximately €0.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately €0.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2017. This decrease resulted mainly from the application of a tax incentive in the Netherlands applicable for companies that invest in energy-efficient technology, claimable upon filing the relevant tax return by reducing the amount of taxable profit.
- Net profit was approximately €0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to net loss of approximately €6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.
- Net profit per share was approximately €0.1 in the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to net loss per share of approximately €0.57 for the year ended December 31, 2017.
- Total other comprehensive loss was approximately €1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to total other comprehensive loss of approximately €0.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2017. 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 €0.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to total comprehensive loss of approximately €6.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2017.
- EBITDA was approximately €8.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately €7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.
- Net cash from operating activities was approximately €6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately €2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in net cash from operating activities is mainly attributable to interest payment received during 2018 on a loan to an equity accounted investee.
- As of March 1, 2019, the Company held approximately €29.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately €0.4 million in marketable securities and approximately €6.9 million in restricted short-term and long-term cash.
Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay commented: “2018 met our target presenting increased revenues, net profit and a strong cash flow from operations, while we continue promoting our major development projects – Talasol and Manara PSP. We expect to commence the construction of the Talasol project during the first half of 2019 and are diligently promoting the Manara PSP project towards financial closing.”
Information for the Company’s Series A and Series B Debenture Holders
As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s Net Financial Debt (as such term is defined in the Deeds of Trust of the Company’s Debentures) was approximately €20.2 million (consisting of approximately €69.8 million of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations and approximately €51.3 million in connection with the Series A Debentures issuances (in January and September 2014) and the Series B Debentures issuance (in March 2017), net of approximately €39 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and net of approximately €61.9 million of project finance and related hedging transactions of the Company’s subsidiaries).
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.
