Ellomay Capital Reports Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

TEL AVIV, Israel, Sept. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American: ELLO) (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 three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Financial Highlights

    --  Revenues were approximately EUR8.2 million for the six months ended June
        30, 2018, compared to approximately EUR6.8 million for the six months
        ended June 30, 2017. The increase in revenues for the first half of 2018
        reflects the commencement of operations at the Company's two
        waste-to-energy projects in the Netherlands and the results of the
        Talmei Yosef project, acquired in October 2017, partially offset by
        lower revenues in Italy due to relatively lower radiation levels
        compared to the first half of 2017.
    --  Operating expenses were approximately EUR2.6 million for the six months
        ended June 30, 2018, compared to approximately EUR0.9 million for the
        six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in operating expenses is
        mainly attributable to additional operating expenses resulting from the
        commencement of operations at the Company's two waste-to-energy projects
        in the Netherlands and from the Talmei Yosef project. Depreciation
        expenses were approximately EUR2.8 million for the six months ended June
        30, 2018, compared to approximately EUR2.2 million for the six months
        ended June 30, 2017.
    --  Project development costs were approximately EUR1.8 million for the six
        months ended June 30, 2018, compared to approximately EUR1.4 million for
        the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in project development
        costs is mainly attributable to consultancy expenses in connection with
        the Talasol Project.
    --  General and administrative expenses were approximately EUR2 million for
        the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to approximately EUR1.2
        million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in general
        and administrative expenses resulted mainly from payment of
        approximately EUR0.4 million pursuant to a VAT assessment agreement from
        previous years in Israel and related expenses and from increased
        expenses resulting from the commencement of operations of the Company's
        two waste-to-energy projects in the Netherlands and from the Talmei
        Yosef project.
    --  The Company's share of profits of equity accounted investee, after
        elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately EUR0.5
        million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to a loss of
        approximately EUR0.07 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017. The
        increase in the Company's share of profit of equity accounted investee
        is mainly attributable to an increase in sales of electricity by Dorad
        due to increased production and lower financing expenses incurred by
        Dorad for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as a result of the CPI
        indexation of loans from banks and related parties.
    --  Financing expenses, net was approximately EUR0.9 million for the six
        months ended June 30, 2018, compared to approximately EUR5.8 million for
        the six months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in financing expenses
        was mainly due to: (i) a profit of approximately EUR0.3 million for the
        six months ended June 30, 2018 in connection with the reevaluation of
        derivatives, compared to a loss of approximately EUR1.6 million for the
        six months ended June 30, 2017, and (ii) income in connection with
        exchange rate differences amounting to approximately EUR0.7 million in
        the six months ended June 30, 2018, mainly in connection with the
        Company's NIS denominated Debentures and the loan to an equity accounted
        investee, caused by the 2.5% revaluation of the euro against the NIS
        during this period, compared to expenses in connection with the exchange
        rate differences amounting to approximately EUR2.8 million caused by the
        1.4% devaluation of the euro against the NIS during the six months ended
        June 30, 2017.
    --  Tax benefit was approximately EUR0.2 million for the six months ended
        June 30, 2018, compared to taxes on income of approximately EUR0.6
        million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The tax benefit for the
        six months ended June 30, 2018 resulted mainly from deferred tax income
        included in connection with the application of a tax incentive in the
        Netherlands claimable upon filing the relevant tax return by reducing
        the amount of taxable profit.
    --  Net loss was approximately EUR1.1 million for the six months ended June
        30, 2018, compared to approximately EUR5.4 million for the six months
        ended June 30, 2017.
    --  Total other comprehensive loss was approximately EUR1 million for the
        six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to a profit of approximately
        EUR0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. 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, as a result of fluctuations in the euro/NIS exchange rates.
    --  Total comprehensive loss was approximately EUR2.2 million for the six
        months ended June 30, 2018, compared to approximately EUR4.7 million for
        the six months ended June 30, 2017.
    --  EBITDA was approximately EUR2.4 million for the six months ended June
        30, 2018, compared to approximately EUR3.2 million for the six months
        ended June 30, 2017.
    --  Net cash from operating activities was approximately EUR2.3 million for
        the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to approximately EUR0.6
        million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in net cash
        from operating activities is mainly from an interest payment received
        during 2018 on a loan to an equity accounted investee and from increased
        cash flow resulting from the commencement of operations of a
        waste-to-energy project in the Netherlands and Talmei Yosef project.
    --  In May 2018, the Company entered into a EUR35.9 million project finance
        Facility Agreement (the "Facility Agreement"). The Facility Agreement
        was executed among several of the Company's Italian subsidiaries (the
        "Subsidiaries") and Mediocredito Italiano S.p.A and Intesa Sanpaolo
        S.p.A. (as account bank). The euro 35.9 million principal amount is
        divided into: (i) term loan facilities in the aggregate amount of euro
        33.7 million with terms ending in May 2028, and (ii) revolving
        facilities, aimed to cover financial needs for the debt service coverage
        in case of liquidity shortfall, in the aggregate amount of euro 2.2
        million with terms ending in November 2027. The loans provided under the
        Facility Agreement bear an annual interest rate equal to the Euribor 6
        month rate plus a margin of 185 basis points. The Subsidiaries entered
        into the swap agreements on May 29, 2018 with respect to approximately
        Euro 25 million (with a decreasing notional principal amount based on
        the amortization table) until May 2028, replacing the Euribor 6 month
        rate with a fixed interest rate of 0.71%, resulting in a fixed interest
        rate of 2.56%. The Subsidiaries partially used the funds borrowed under
        the Facility Agreement to repay outstanding loans and leasing agreements
        in the aggregate amount of approximately EUR13.2 million.
    --  As of September 1, 2018, the Company held approximately EUR47.5 million
        in cash and cash equivalents, approximately EUR2.2 million in marketable
        securities and approximately EUR5.4 million in restricted short-term and
        long-term cash and marketable securities.

Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay commented: "The results for the first half of 2018 meet our expectations and reflect a strong cash flow from operating activities and an increase in revenues. We expect that the commencement of operations of the projects that are currently in the development stage - Talasol in Spain and the pumped storage project in the Manara Cliff, as well as other projects - will in the future bring about substantial increase in the Ellomay's revenues and profit."

Information for the Company's Series A and Series B Debenture Holders

As of June 30, 2018, the Company's Net Financial Debt (as such term is defined in the Deeds of Trust of the Company's Debentures) was approximately EUR17.1 million (consisting of approximately EUR73.4 million of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations and approximately EUR56.4 million in connection with the Series A Debentures issuances (in January and September 2014) and the Series B Debentures issuance (in March 2017), net of approximately EUR47.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and net of approximately EUR64.9 million of projectfinance and related hedging transactions of the Company's subsidiaries).

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.
