Tel-Aviv, Israel, March 25, 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 year ended December 31, 2020 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 March 24, 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 annual report in Israel based on the requirements of the Israeli Securities Law, 1968. Based on applicable regulatory
requirements, the annual report of the Luzon Group includes the financial statements of Dorad for the same period.
The financial statements of Dorad for the year ended December 31, 2020 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 March 31, 2021 and will include the financial
statements of Dorad in its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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
Dorad’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 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, 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 and such reduction has not resulted in a material effect at this time. 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.
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. 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 full year results in the future.
• Dorad’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 – approximately NIS 2,407 million.
• Dorad’s operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2020 – approximately NIS 283 million.
A translation of the financial results for Dorad as of December 31, 2019 and 2020 and as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020 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.
