Tel-Aviv, Israel, May 27, 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 the publication in Israel of financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021 of Dorad Energy Ltd. (“Dorad”), in
which Ellomay currently indirectly holds approximately 9.4% through its indirect 50% ownership of U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd. (“Dori Energy”).
On May 26, 2021, Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd. (f/k/a U. Dori Group Ltd.) (the “Luzon Group”), an Israeli public company that currently holds the remaining 50%
of Dori Energy, which, in turn, holds 18.75% of Dorad, published its quarterly report in Israel based on the requirements of the Israeli Securities Law, 1968. Based on applicable regulatory
requirements, the quarterly report of the Luzon Group includes the financial statements of Dorad for the same period.
The financial statements of Dorad for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Ellomay will include its indirect share of
these results (through its holdings in Dori Energy) in its financial results for this period, which are currently expected to be published on or about June 17, 2021. In an effort to provide
Ellomay’s shareholders with access to Dorad’s financial results (which were published in Hebrew), Ellomay hereby provides a convenience translation of Dorad’s financial results.
Dorad Financial Highlights
On May 6, 2021, Dorad’s Board of Directors approved the distribution of a dividend in the amount of NIS 100 million (approximately €25.2 million) and such dividend was distributed during
May 2021. In connection with such dividend distribution, Dori Energy received an amount of approximately NIS 18.8 million (approximately €4.7 million) and repaid an amount of approximately
NIS 9 million (approximately €2.3 million) loan to the Company.
Dorad’s financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 note that following the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in China in December 2019, and the spreading of the
coronavirus to many other countries in early 2020, there has been a decline in economic activity in many regions of the world, as well as in Israel. The spreading of the coronavirus caused,
among other things, a disruption in the supply chain, a decrease in global transport volume, traffic and employment restrictions declared by the Israeli government and other governments
around the world during 2020 and during and after the first quarter of 2021, as well as declines in the value of financial assets and commodities in markets in Israel and around the world.
Dorad notes that it is operating in accordance with the guidelines of the Israeli Ministries of Energy and Health on dealing with the coronavirus crisis, including preparations of the operation
and maintenance employees of the power plant and shift work as required. Dorad’s financial statements further note that in light of the crisis, there is a certain decrease in the electricity
consumption of various customers, and there is also a certain decrease in the demand of the Israel Electric Company. Dorad’s financial statements further note that as of the date of the
financial statements, such reduction has not resulted in a material effect. Dorad notes that it is continuously examining its potential methods of action in the event of a material decline in its
income as a result of the spread of the coronavirus.
• Dorad’s unaudited revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 – approximately NIS 513.8 million.
• Dorad’s unaudited operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 – approximately NIS 73 million.
Based on the information provided by Dorad, the demand for electricity by Dorad’s customers is seasonal and is affected by, inter alia, the climate prevailing in that season. The months of
the year are split into three seasons as follows: the summer season – the months of July and August; the winter season – the months of December, January and February; and intermediate
seasons – (spring and autumn), the months from March to June and from September to November. There is a higher hourly demand for electricity during the winter and summer seasons, and
the average electricity consumption per hour is higher in these seasons than in the intermediate seasons and is even characterized by peak demands due to extreme climate conditions of heat
or cold. In addition, Dorad’s revenues are affected by the change in load and time tariffs – TAOZ (an electricity tariff that varies across seasons and across the day in accordance with demand
hour clusters), as, on average, TAOZ tariffs are higher in the summer season than in the intermediate and winter seasons. Therefore, the results presented for the quarter ended March 31,
2021, which include the winter months of January and February and the intermediate month of March, are not indicative of full year results. In addition, due to various reasons,
including the effects of the spread of COVID-19 and the economic impact of such spread and of actions taken by governments and authorities, the results included herein may not be
indicative of first quarter results in the future.
A translation of the financial results for Dorad as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and as of and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2021 is included at the end
of this press release. Ellomay does not undertake to separately report Dorad’s financial results in a press release in the future. Neither Ellomay nor its independent public accountants
have reviewed or consulted with the Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd., Dori Energy or Dorad with respect to the financial results included in this press release.
