FY 2020

Ellomay Capital Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year of 2020
Tel-Aviv, Israel, March 31, 2021 – 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 fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.
Financial Highlights
• Revenues were approximately €9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately €19 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease is mainly due to
the sale of the Company’s Italian PV portfolio (the “Italian PV Portfolio”) in December 2019. 2020 revenues were also impacted by the decrease in demand and prices of the European
electricity markets due to the Covid-19 pandemic, partially offset by an increase in revenues in one of the Company’s biogas plants in the Netherlands resulting from increased operational
efficiency.
• Operating expenses were approximately €5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately €6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in
operating expenses is mainly attributable to the sale of the Italian PV Portfolio, to increased operational efficiency of the Company’s biogas plants in the Netherlands and to insurance
reimbursement in connection with the storm damages in one of the Company’s biogas plants in the Netherlands that reduced operating expenses. Depreciation expenses were approximately
€3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately €6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
• Project development costs were approximately €3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately €4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease
in project development costs is mainly due to a decrease in consultancy expenses for the Company’s development project of a 156 MW pumped storage project in the Manara Cliff in Israel
(the “Manara PSP”), partially offset by consultancy expenses in connection with the development of new photovoltaic projects in Italy.
• General and administrative expenses were approximately €4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately €3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The
increase in general and administrative expenses resulted mainly from a higher cost of the Company’s D&O liability insurance.
• Company’s share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately €1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to
approximately €3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in the share of profit of equity accounted investee is mainly attributable to the decrease in the revenues of
Dorad Energy Ltd. (“Dorad”) mainly due to a decrease in tariff and in the electricity sold to Dorad’s customers for the year ended December 31, 2020, partially offset by lower financing
expenses incurred by Dorad as a result of the CPI indexation of loans from banks.
• Other income, net, was approximately €2.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to other expenses, net, of approximately €2.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2019.
During 2019, the Company recorded expenses in the amount of approximately €2.1 million in connection with the announcement received from GSE, Italy’s energy regulation agency, by one
of the Company’s Italian subsidiaries, claiming alleged non-compliance of the installed modules with the required certifications under the applicable regulation and raising the need to
examine incentive eligibility implications (the “GSE Claim”). On December 20, 2019, the Company sold its holdings in this subsidiary. The Sale and Purchase Agreement governing the sale
of the subsidiary provided for up to €2.1 million of indemnification in connection with the GSE Claim and the Company recorded this potential payment as other expenses. In 2020, with the
cooperation of the acquirer of the Italian subsidiaries, an appeal was submitted to GSE. Following the positive outcomes of such appeal, the provision for the potential indemnification was
cancelled.
• Capital gain was 0 in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately €18.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2019. The capital gain in the year ended December 31, 2019
was recorded in connection with the sale of the Italian PV Portfolio on December 20, 2019.
• Financing expenses, net was approximately €3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately €8.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in
financing expenses, net, was mainly attributable to lower interest expenses due to the early repayment of the Company’s Series A Debentures and the sale of the Italian PV Portfolio,
including all related project finance.
• Tax benefit was approximately €0.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to tax benefit of approximately €0.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2019.
• Net loss was approximately €6.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to net profit of approximately €9.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
• Total other comprehensive income was approximately €2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to total other comprehensive income of approximately €1.3 million in the
year ended December 31, 2019. 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, due to fluctuations in the euro/NIS exchange rates.
• Total comprehensive loss was approximately €3.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to total comprehensive profit of approximately €11 million in the year ended
December 31, 2019.
• EBITDA was approximately €0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately €24.1 million (including €18.8 million capital gain recorded in connection of the sale
of the Italian PV Portfolio) for the year ended December 31, 2019.
• Net cash used in operating activities was approximately €5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to approximately €3.7 million provided from operating activities for the
year ended December 31, 2019.
• The Talasol PV Plant reached mechanical completion in September 2020 and was connected to the electricity grid and electricity production commenced at the end of December 2020. PAC
was achieved on January 27, 2021.
• On February 23, 2021, the Company issued additional Series C Debentures in a public offering in Israel in an aggregate principal amount of NIS 100.939 million (approximately €25.6 million
based on the euro/NIS exchange rate as of December 31, 2020). The gross proceeds from the offering were NIS 102.4 million and the net proceeds of the offering, net of related expenses such
as consultancy fee and commissions, were approximately NIS 101.5 million (approximately €25.7 million based on the euro/NIS exchange rate as of December 31, 2020).
• On February 23, 2021, the Company issued a new Series D Convertible Debentures in a public offering in Israel in the aggregate principal amount of NIS 62 million (approximately €15.7 million
based on the euro/NIS exchange rate as of December 31, 2020). The principal amount of the Series D Debentures is repayable in one installment on December 31, 2026. The Series D
Debentures bear a fixed interest at the rate of 1.2% per year (that is not linked to the Israeli CPI or otherwise), payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 commencing June 30, 2021
through December 31, 2026 (inclusive). The Series D Debentures are convertible into the Company’s ordinary shares, NIS 10.00 par value per share, at a conversion price of NIS 165
(approximately €41.8 based on the euro/NIS exchange rate as of December 31, 2020), subject to adjustments upon customary terms. The Series D Debentures are not rated. The gross
proceeds from the offering were approximately NIS 62.6 million and the net proceeds of the offering, net of related expenses such as consultancy fee and commissions, were approximately
NIS 61.8 million (approximately €15.7 million based on the euro/NIS exchange rate as of December 31, 2020).
• As of March 1, 2021, the Company held approximately €125 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately €1.76 million in marketable securities and approximately €10 million in
restricted long-term cash.
• On March 18, 2021, the Company’s Series B Debentures were repaid in full. Pursuant to the terms of the deed of trust governing the Series B Debentures, the early repayment consisted of a
principal payment in the amount of approximately NIS 86.3 million (approximately €21.5 million), accrued interest in the amount of approximately NIS 0.7 million (approximately €0.16 million)
and a prepayment charge of approximately NIS 3.4 million (approximately €0.86 million), amounting to an aggregate repayment amount of approximately NIS 90.4 million (approximately €22.5
million).
Shlomo Nehama, Chairmen of the Board of Ellomay, commented: “Ellomay Capital operates in one of the developing sectors around the world in the renewable energy field, a market that is
expanding and growing.
Ellomay Capital raised funds during the year through issuances of equity and debt in order to expand its operations. In addition, Ellomay Capital has made tremendous advancements during this
year, primarily the completion of construction and the commercial operation of the Talasol project that has an installed capacity of 300 MW and that is a large project in a European scale,
positioning Ellomay as a leading developer in the renewable energy field. In addition, after a lengthy effort of several years, the Company succeeded in reaching the financial closing and
receiving regulatory approval for the construction of the pumped storage project in the Manara Cliff, Israel, which is a central project in the future electricity plans of the State of Israel. In
addition to these projects the Company succeeded in advancing and materially improving the operational efficiency of its Biogas projects in the Netherlands. The results of such achievements
will be evident in the next year and over the coming years.
I would like to thank Ellomay’s professional team, led by Ran Fridrich, for all their hard work and efforts and for, in spite of the objective difficulties of the Covid-19 pandemic, succeeded in
advancing these two significant projects.”
Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay, further commented: “2020 was a challenging transition year for Ellomay Capital. The portfolio of photovoltaic projects in Italy, which was
based on governmental subsidies, was sold at the end of 2019 for a substantial capital gain. This portfolio provided annual revenues of approximately €9 million, which were not part of the
Company’s revenues for 2020.
2020 was a year in which new significant projects were built or purchased (the Talasol project in Spain and a biogas project in the Netherlands) and their contribution to the Company’s revenues
and income will only become part of the Company’s results during 2021.
In parallel to the construction of the Talasol project, the Company concluded the financial closing of the pumped storage project “Manara Cliff” and the development of the smaller photovoltaic
project in Talasol (28 MW), which has already commenced the construction phase, and reached substantial advancements in the development of the pipeline of new Italian photovoltaic projects,
with 90 MW expected to receive a construction permit during 2021. The operational improvements of the Netherlands’ biogas plants continued and a new biogas plant that was acquired in
December 2020 was successfully added to the operations.
A delay of approximately a quarter in the connection with the Talasol plant to the electricity grid that according to the Spanish grid company was due to Covid-19 implications caused a deviation
of approximately €5 million from the projected revenues for 2020. The Company’s projections for 2021 are based mainly on the operating assets (approximately 85% of the projections) and only a
small portion is based on assets that are expected to be built during 2021.
The Company is developing a large pipeline of photovoltaic projects in Spain and Italy, all self-developed from the initial stages, and a large portion of them (over 400 MW) are in advanced
development stages and are expected to be built during the next two and a half years. In addition, the Company is advancing the process of obtaining building permits for the PV plus storage
projects in Israel that the Company won in the first storage tender in Israel.
As noted, 2020 was a challenging year but the Company met all of its goals mainly due to the dedication and high abilities of each one of its employees.”
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.
• On February 11, 2021, the Manara PSP Project Finance reached financial closing. The Manara PSP Project Finance will be provided by a consortium of Israeli banks and institutional
investors, arranged and led by Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank Ltd. The Manara PSP Project Finance is in the aggregate amount of NIS 1.18 billion (approximately €300 million based on the euro/NIS
exchange rate as of December 31, 2020), and includes: (i) a Senior Secured Tranche at a fixed rate of interest for each drawdown, with base interest rate equal to the yield to maturity of Israeli
treasury bonds with like duration of the loan drawdown, plus a spread of 3.25% per-annum during the Construction Period of the Project and a spread of 2.40% per-annum from the Actual
Completion Date of the Project which proceeds the Commercial Operation Date of the Project. The Senior Secured Tranche is linked to the Israeli Consumer Price Index and is to be repaid
over a period of 19.5 years from the commercial operation date; and (ii) a Subordinated Secured B Tranche at a floating rate of interest, with the base interest being the Bank of Israel rate,
plus a spread of 4.35% per-annum during the Construction Period and a spread of 3.90% per-annum from the Actual Completion Date. The stated maturity of the Tranche B loan is one year
less than the maturity of the Senior Secured Loan with a cash sweep mechanism that shortens its maturity to approximately 12 years from the Commercial Operation Date under the Base Case
Financial Model.
• In connection with the Manara PSP Project Finance that occurred on February 2021, and based on the A.R.Z. Settlement Agreement, A.R.Z. was required to provide its indirect share of
equity investment and financing to the Manara PSP. Due to the failure to provide the required funds, Ellomay Water Plants Holdings (2014) Ltd., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary
that holds 75% of Ellomay PS, seized E.R.Z.’s holdings in Sheva Mizrakot (33%) and, as a result, the Company’s indirect holdings in the Manara PSP increased from 75% to 83.333% in
January 2021.

    Information for the Company’s Debenture Holders
    Pursuant to the Deeds of Trust governing the Company’s Series C and Series D Debentures (together, the “Debentures”), the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants. For
    more information, see Item 5.B of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2020 and below.
    Net Financial Debt
    As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s Net Financial Debt (as such term is defined in the Deeds of Trust of the Company’s Debentures) was approximately €6.2 million (consisting of
    approximately €207.9 million of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations and approximately €82.7 million in connection with the Series C
    Debentures issuances (in July 2019 and October 2020), net of approximately €76.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and marketable securities and net of approximately
    €207.7 million* of project finance and related hedging transactions of the Company’s subsidiaries).

  • 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).
    Information for the Company’s Series C Debenture Holders
    The Deed of Trust governing the Company’s 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 December 31, 2020, 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 approximately €127.7 million and (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 4.7% and (iii) the ratio of the Company’s Net Financial Debt to
    the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA(1) was 1.8.

(1) The term “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined in the Series D 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, when the data of assets or projects whose Commercial Operation Date (as such term is defined in the Series D 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 D Deed of Trust). The Series D 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 D 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 the Company’s profit (loss) and the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Series C Deed of Trust) for the four-quarter period ended December 31,
