Tel-Aviv, Israel, December 29, 2022 – 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 unaudited financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022.
Financial Highlights for the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2022
• Revenues were approximately €44.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately €33.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This increase mainly
results from the substantial increase in electricity prices in Spain and the connection to the grid of Ellomay Solar, a 28 MW photovoltaic facility in Spain (“Ellomay Solar”) during June 2022, upon which
the Company commenced recognition of revenues.
• Operating expenses were approximately €18.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately €11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in
operating expenses mainly results from the introduction of the Spanish RDL 17/2021 that established the reduction, currently in effect until December 31, 2022, of returns on the electricity generating
activity of Spanish production facilities that do not emit greenhouse gases accomplished through payments of a portion of the revenues by the production facilities to the Spanish government. The
increase in operating expenses also resulted from the Company’s biogas operations in the Netherlands that were impacted by the war in Ukraine causing shortages in certain raw materials and an increase
in delivery prices and from the connection to the grid of Ellomay Solar during June 2022, upon which the Company commenced recognition of expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses were
approximately €11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately €11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
• Project development costs were approximately €2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately €1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The
increase in project development costs is mainly due to development expenses in connection with photovoltaic projects in Italy.
• General and administrative expenses were approximately €5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately €3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The increase is mostly due to increased D&O liability insurance costs, increase in management fee paid pursuant to the new Management Services Agreement effective July 1, 2021, and an increase in
salaries paid to employees.
• Share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately €0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately €0.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in share of profits of equity accounted investee was mainly due to the increase in revenues of Dorad Energy Ltd. (“Dorad”) due to
higher quantities produced and higher electricity tariff, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses in connection with the increased production and higher tariff.
• Financing expenses, net was approximately €7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately €10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease
in financing expenses, net, was mainly attributable to expenses resulting from exchange rate differences amounting to approximately €1.1 million in nine months ended September 30, 2022, mainly in
connection with the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) cash and cash equivalents and the Company’s NIS denominated debentures, compared to expenses in the amount of approximately €2.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2021, caused by the 1% devaluation of the euro against the NIS during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the 5.3% devaluation of the euro against the
NIS during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and to expenses recorded in 2021 of approximately €0.8 million in connection with the early repayment of the Company’s Series B Debentures.
• Taxes on income were approximately €2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to tax benefit of approximately €0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The
increase is mainly due to the substantial increase in electricity prices in Spain, resulting in higher taxable income of the Company’s Spanish subsidiaries.
CEO Review for the First Nine Months of 2022
The Company’s activities are divided into two main fields:
During the first nine months of 2022, the Company met the goals it set for itself. The Company’s revenues for the first nine months of 2022 were approximately €44.7, an increase of approximately 33% in revenues
compared to the same period last year.

• Loss was approximately €2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a loss of approximately €5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
• Total other comprehensive loss was approximately €61.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately €8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The
increase in total other comprehensive loss mainly resulted from changes in fair value of cash flow hedges, including a material increase in the fair value of the liability resulting from the financial power
swap that covers approximately 80% of the output of the Talasol PV Plant (the “Talasol PPA”). The Talasol PPA experienced a high volatility due to the substantial increase in electricity prices in Europe
since the commencement of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In accordance with hedge accounting standards, the changes in the Talasol PPA’s fair value are recorded in the Company’s
shareholders’ equity through a hedging reserve and not through the accumulated deficit/retained earnings. The changes do not impact the Company’s consolidated net profit/loss or the Company’s
consolidated cash flows. As the Company controls Talasol, the total impact of the changes in fair value of the Talasol PPA (including the minority share) is consolidated into the Company’s financial
statements and total equity. Alongside the increase in fair value of the liability in connection with the Talasol PPA, the increase in the electricity prices had, and is expected to continue to have for as long
as the prices remain relatively high, a positive impact on Talasol’s revenues from the sale of the capacity that is not subject to the Talasol PPA, resulting in an expected increase in Talasol’s net income
and cash flows.
• Total comprehensive loss was approximately €64.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately €14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
• The Company’s current liabilities as of September 30, 2022, include a liability in the amount of approximately €44.3 million in connection with current maturities of the Talasol PPA resulting from the
increase in the fair value of the liability in connection with the Talasol PPA. As noted above, the increase in the fair value of the liability in connection with the Talasol PPA does not impact the Company’s
cash flow as Talasol’s revenues from the sale of electricity are expected to exceed its liability and payments to the Talasol PPA provider. Pursuant to the applicable accounting rules, the Company is
required to recognize the fair value of expected future payments to the Talasol PPA provider as a liability, but it does not recognize the expected revenues from the Talasol PV Plant as assets.
• EBITDA was approximately €19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately €16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. See the table on page 13 of
this press release for a reconciliation of these numbers to profit and loss.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately €13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to approximately €13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2021.
• As required under an amendment to IAS 16, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (the “IAS 16 Amendment”), the Company retrospectively applied the IAS 16 Amendment and revised the financial results
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The IAS 16 Amendment required the Company to recognize the results of the Talasol PV Plant
commencing connection to the grid (December 2020) instead of recognizing results commencing achievement of PAC (Preliminary Acceptance Certificate), which occurred on January 27, 2021. The
revisions mainly included recognizing an increase in the balance of fixed assets against a corresponding increase in retained earnings and deferred tax as of December 31, 2021, and an increase in revenues
and expenses, with a corresponding decrease in tax benefit and in the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the year ended December 31, 2021. – Development and Construction – the development of a backlog of projects in the PV field in Italy, Spain and Israel, the construction of a pumped hydro storage project in the Manara Cliff in Israel and the
construction of PV in Italy; and – Operations and Improvements – the Company manages, operates and improves its generating projects in Israel, Spain and the Netherlands (bio-gas).
The cash flow from operations for the first nine months of 2022 was approximately €13.9 million, which includes a deduction of in the amount of approximately €3.3 million due to a non-recurring advance payment
of income tax as per a tax assessment agreement (timing differences of payable income tax) to the Israeli Tax Authority in connection with the Talmei Yosef PV Plant and increased project development costs mainly
due to the advanced development of the photovoltaic portfolio in Italy and in Israel.
The operating profit for the first nine months of 2022 amounted to approximately €7.4 million, an increase of approximately 36% compared to the corresponding period last year.
The EBITDA for the first nine months of 2022 was approximately €19.2, an increase of approximately 17% compared to the same period last year.
Activity in Spain: The Ellomay Solar PV plant in Spain (28 MW PV) was connected to the electricity grid towards the end of the second quarter of 2022, therefore its effect on the second quarter was negligible.
During the third quarter of 2022, this PV plant operated at full capacity and generated revenues of approximately €2.9 million (based on previous estimates the project was expected to generate average annual
revenues of approximately €3 million). The Talasol PV plant in Spain (300 MW PV), 51% held by the Company, met all expectations and in the first nine months of 2022 generated revenues in the amount of
approximately €29.5 million. Talasol is a party to a financial hedge of its electricity capture price (PPA) in connection with approximately 80% of its production (75% based on P-50) and the remaining electricity
produced by Talasol is sold directly to the grid, currently at significantly higher prices. The changes in the fair value of the financial hedge resulted from the significant increase in electricity prices in Europe and
were recorded as a liability in the Company’s balance sheet against a capital reserve. These changes do not impact the profit and loss and the cash flow of the Company and do not require an increase of
collaterals.
Activity in Italy: The Company has approximately 600 MW PV projects under advanced development stages, of which licenses have been obtained for approximately 200 MW. Of these 200 MW PV projects, 20
MW are under advanced construction and the remainder (approximately 180 MW) are expected to commence construction during 2023.
The Company has additional projects in earlier development stages and the intention is to reach a portfolio of approximately 1,000 MW PV in various degrees of development and operations by 2025.
The Company is negotiating a financing agreement for the financing of 600 MW PV projects that are in advanced development stages with a leading European bank in the field.
Activity in Israel:
The Manara Pumped Storage Project (Company’s share is 83.34%): The Manara Cliff pumped storage project, with a capacity of 156 MW, is in advanced construction stages and expected to reach commercial
operation during the second half of 2026 and generate average annual revenues of €74 million and EBITDA of €33 million. The Company and the project’s other shareholder, Ampa, invested the equity required for
the projects, with the remainder of the funding was received from a consortium of lenders led by Mizrahi Bank, at a scope of approximately NIS 1.18 billion.
Development of PV licenses combined with storage:
3
- The Komemiyut project, a project of 250 dunams, is intended for 21 MW PV and 47 MW / hour batteries. We obtained an approval for connection to the grid. The project is in the process of receiving a
building permit. Construction is planned to commence in the third quarter of 2023. - The Qelahim project, a project of 145 dunams, intended for 15 MW PV and 33 MW / hour batteries. We obtained an approval for connection to the grid, and the project is in the final stages of the zoning
approval. - The Talmei Yosef project, an expansion of the existing project (as of today 9 MW PV), an addition of 104 dunams, designed for 10 MW PV and 22 MW / hour batteries. The request for zoning approval has
been filed and approval is expected to be received in the first quarter of 2023. - The Talmei Yosef storage project in batteries, a 30 dunam project, intended for approximately 400 MW / hour. The project is designed for the regulation of the high voltage storage. Zoning of the project is
approved. - The Sharsheret project, a project of 205 dunams, intended for 20 MW PV and 44 MW / hour batteries. The submission of the zoning request for the project is expected in the coming weeks.
- Additional 250 dunams – under advanced planning stages.
Dorad Power Station: the gas flow from the Karish reservoir began during November 2022. The gas from the Karish reservoir is expected to reduce the gas costs of Dorad. The change in the electricity tariff, which
will enter into force in January 2023, means an increase in the “PISGA”/ peak (high consumption) hours, and the elimination of the “GEVA” (average consumption) hours, is expected to reduce the operating
expenses of the power station.
Activity in the Netherlands: In connection with the war in Ukraine and the stoppage of Russian gas supply to Europe, there are substantial changes in the field of biogas in the Netherlands and Europe. Europe in
general and the Netherlands specifically have set ambitious goals for increasing gas production from waste. Various incentives are being considered, the main one is increasing the price of the green certificates
and as of today the market price of these certificates has increased from an average of 13–15 euro cents per cubic meter to around 30-45 euro cents per cubic meter. The Company’s wholly owned Dutch
subsidiaries entered into agreements to sell green certificates representing 2.4 million cubic meters in 2023 at a price of 74-euro cents per cubic meter. The Company’s Dutch subsidiaries are expected to produce in
2023 approximately 14-15 million cubic meters, that are expected to be sold at significantly higher prices compared to the prices in 2022. The expected income to the Company is approximately €4.5 million for 2023,
compared to an income from the sale of green certificates of approximately €1.8 million in 2022.
The gas price for 2023, which is determined based on the 2022 average, is also expected to be above 90-euro cents per cubic meter, a price that is higher than the cap of the subsidy granted to the Company’s Dutch
subsidiaries (approximately 75-euro cents per cubic meter). Therefore, in 2023 and possibly also in 2024, the Dutch subsidiaries will temporarily exit the subsidy regime. Not using the subsidy during 2023 and 2024
will enable the Dutch subsidiaries to postpone the termination of the subsidy period (originally 12 years) by two years.
On the other hand, due to the war in Ukraine, there was an increase in the price of feedstock, which is based on agricultural residues, and in the cost of transportation and the price of electricity (which increased
tenfold). These circumstances caused an increase in expenses; however the Company expects that the increase in income will exceed the increase in expenses. The increase in income is already partially reflected in
the high prices of the green certificates and is expected to continue to be reflected in 2023 as prices of green certificates are expected to continue to increase, and in addition gas prices are also expected to be high.
The increase in electricity prices in the Netherlands did not substantially affect two of the three biogas facilities owned by the Company, which produce the electricity and heat they consume for themselves.
However, the Gelderland project, which was acquired in December 2020, is not equipped with the means to self-generate electricity and heat and is required to pay for the electricity it consumes, and therefore was
negatively affected by the increase in the price of electricity. In May 2022, Gelderland received notification of approval for a subsidy for generation of electricity and heat in its facility and in August 2022, a
generator (CHP) was ordered and is expected to start producing electricity for self-consumption of the Gelderland facility in February 2023. Thereafter, all of the Company’s Dutch bio gas facilities will no longer be
affected by the electricity prices.
The Company estimates that with the increasing importance of the biogas field, this field will enter into a new era. In the Netherlands, new legislation was adopted that obliges the gas suppliers commencing
January 1, 2024 to gradually incorporate green gas in a scope of up to 20% of the amount supplied by them. This legislation, and the growing demand for green certificates from the biogas industry, is expected to
greatly improve the expected results of the bio gas facilities.
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 operating 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 measure presented by other companies. The Company’s EBITDA may not be indicative of the
Company’s historic operating results; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. The Company uses this measure internally as performance measure and believes that when this measure is combined
with IFRS measure it add useful information concerning the Company’s operating performance. A reconciliation between results on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis is provided on page 13 of this press release.

Information for the Company’s Debenture Holders
Potential Warning Signs
As of September 30, 2022, we had working capital deficiency of approximately €43.1 million. The working capital deficiency as of September 30, 2022, resulted from the recording of current maturities of derivatives in
the amount of approximately €44.3 million as a result of the increase in the fair value of the liability resulting from the Talasol PPA. These current maturities do not impact our cash flows. Taking into account the
nature of the current maturities, in our opinion our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements.
Upon the issuance of our Debentures, we undertook to comply with the “hybrid model disclosure requirements” as determined by the Israeli Securities Authority and as described in the Israeli prospectuses
published in connection with the public offering of our Debentures. This model provides that in the event certain financial “warning signs” exist in our consolidated financial results or statements, and for as long
as they exist, we will be subject to certain disclosure obligations towards the holders of our Debentures. One possible “warning sign” is the existence of a working capital deficiency (if the board of directors of the
company does not determine that the working capital deficiency is not an indication of a liquidity problem). In examining the existence of warning signs as of September 30, 2022, our Board of Directors noted the
working capital deficiency as of September 30, 2022. Our board of directors reviewed our financial position, outstanding debt obligations and our existing and anticipated cash resources and uses and determined
that the existence of a working capital deficiency as of September 30, 2022, does not indicate a liquidity problem. In making such determination, our board of directors noted the following: (i) the deficiency in
working capital resulted from the recording of current maturities of derivatives in the amount of approximately €44.3 million as a result of the increase in the fair value of the liability resulting from the Talasol PPA,
which does not impact our cash flow in the next 12 months as Talasol’s revenues from the sale of electricity during the same period are expected to exceed its liability and payments to the PPA provider, (ii)
pursuant to the applicable accounting rules, we are required to recognize the fair value of expected future payments to the PPA provider as a liability but do not recognize the expected revenues from the Talasol PV
Plant as assets, as these expected revenues cannot be recorded as an asset under accounting rules, resulting in an increase in current liabilities and a working capital deficiency, and (iii) our operating subsidiaries
generated a positive cash flow during the year ended December 31, 2021 and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Financial Covenants
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 March 31, 2022, and below.
Net Financial Debt
As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s Net Financial Debt, (as such term is defined in the Deeds of Trust of the Company’s Debentures), was approximately €70.2 million (consisting of approximately €267.62
million of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations, approximately €120.53 million in connection with the Series C Debentures issuances (in July 2019, October 2020,
February 2021 and October 2021) and Series D Debentures issuance (in February 2021), net of approximately €50.3 million of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and marketable securities and net of
approximately €267.64 million of project finance and related hedging transactions of the Company’s subsidiaries).
2 Short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest-bearing financial obligations amount provided above, includes an amount of approximately €3.8 million costs associated with such debt, which was
capitalized and therefore offset from the debt amount that is recorded in the Company’s balance sheet.
3 Debentures amount provided above includes an amount of approximately €1.7 million associated costs, which was capitalized and therefore offset from the debentures amount that is recorded in the Company’s
balance sheet.
4 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).
14
Information for the Company’s Series C Debenture Holders.
The Deed of Trust governing the Company’s Series C Debentures (as amended on June 6, 2022, the “Series C Deed of Trust”), 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 September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in
the Series C Deed of Trust as follows: (i) the Company’s Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity (as defined in the Series C Deed of Trust) was approximately €135.7 million, (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 Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity plus the Net Financial Debt) was 34.1%, and (iii) the ratio of the Company’s Net Financial Debt to the
Company’s Adjusted EBITDA5, was 2.8.
The following is a reconciliation between the Company’s loss and the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Series C Deed of Trust) for the four-quarter period ended September 30, 2022:
5 The term “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined in the Series C 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 PV Plant, are calculated based on the fixed asset model and not based on the financial asset model (IFRIC 12), and before share-based payments. The Series C 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 C 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.”

Information for the Company’s Series D Debenture Holders
The Deed of Trust governing the Company’s Series D Debentures includes an undertaking by the Company to maintain certain financial covenants, whereby a breach of such financial covenants for the periods
set forth in the Series D Deed of Trust is a cause for immediate repayment. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Series D Deed of Trust as follows:
(i) the Company’s Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity (as defined in the Series D Deed of Trust) was approximately €135.7 million, (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 Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity plus the Net Financial Debt) was 34.1%, and (iii) the ratio of the Company’s Net Financial Debt to the Company’s Adjusted
EBITDA6 was 2.3.
The following is a reconciliation between the Company’s loss and the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Series D Deed of Trust) for the four-quarter period ended September 30, 2022:
6 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 PV Plant, 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.”
