Tel-Aviv, Israel, March 29, 2023 – 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, 2022 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 29, 2023, 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, 2022 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 statements for this period. 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 revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 – approximately NIS 2,369.2 million.
• Dorad’s operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2022 – approximately NIS 316.6 million.
Dorad’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 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 epidemic, including preparations
of the operation and maintenance employees of the power plant and shift work as required. Dorad’s financial
statements further note that it continuously examines the options for dealing with material damage to its income
as a result of the spread of the virus.
The demand for electricity by Dorad’s customers is seasonal and is affected by, inter alia, the climate prevailing
in that season. During 2022, the months of the year were 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 increase
in the Israeli CPI, impacting interest payments by Dorad on its credit facility, changes to the TAOZ tariff
calculation, 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.

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 Luzon Group, Dori
Energy or Dorad with respect to the financial results included in this press release.
