Ellomay Capital Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year of 2018

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 29, 2019 /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 twelve month periods ended December 31, 2018.

Financial Highlights

    --  Revenues were approximately EUR18.1 million for the year ended December
        31, 2018, compared to approximately EUR13.6 million for the year ended
        December 31, 2017. The increase in revenues is mainly a result of the
        commencement of operations of the Company's two waste-to-energy projects
        (the "WtE Projects") in the Netherlands (one in November 2017 and the
        other in June 2018) and the results for a full year of the photovoltaic
        plant in Talmei Yosef (the "Talmei Yosef PV Plant"), acquired in October
        2017, partially offset by lower revenues in Italy due to relatively
        lower radiation levels in the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to
        the year ended December 31, 2017.
    --  Operating expenses were approximately EUR6.3 million for the year ended
        December 31, 2018, compared to approximately EUR2.5 million for the year
        ended December 31, 2017. The increase in operating expenses is mainly
        attributable to additional operating expenses resulting from the
        commencement of operations of the WtE Projects in the Netherlands, as
        WtE operations are characterized by higher operating expenses compared
        to PV operations, resulting from the components of raw materials and the
        costs of waste removal, and from the acquisition of the Talmei Yosef PV
        Plant. Depreciation expenses were approximately EUR5.8 million for the
        year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately EUR4.5 million
        for the year ended December 31, 2017.
    --  Project development costs were approximately EUR2.9 million for the year
        ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately EUR2.7 million for
        the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in project development
        costs is mainly attributable to consultancy expenses in connection with
        the project to promote the construction of a 300 MW photovoltaic plant
        in the municipality of Talaván, Cáceres, Spain (the "Talasol
        Project").
    --  General and administrative expenses were approximately EUR3.6 million
        for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately EUR2.4
        million for the year ended December 31, 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 WtE
        Projects in the Netherlands and the acquisition of the Talmei Yosef PV
        Plant.
    --  Share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of
        intercompany transactions, was approximately EUR2.5 million in the year
        ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately EUR1.5 million in the
        year ended December 31, 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 to lower financial expenses incurred by Dorad as a result of the CPI
        indexation of loans from banks and related parties.
    --  Financing expenses, net was approximately EUR2.1 million for the year
        ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately EUR9.2 million for
        the year ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in financing expenses was
        mainly due to: (i) the reevaluation of the Company's euro/US$ forward
        transactions and marketable securities in the aggregate profit amount of
        approximately EUR0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018,
        compared to a loss of approximately EUR3.2 million for the year ended
        December 31, 2017, and (ii) income in connection with exchange rate
        differences amounting to approximately EUR0.7 million in the year ended
        December 31, 2018, mainly in connection with the NIS denominated
        Debentures, compared to expenses in the amount of approximately EUR3.6
        million in the year ended December 31, 2017, mainly in connection with
        US dollar denominated cash and marketable securities, resulting from
        exchange rate differences caused by the 14% revaluation of the euro
        against the US$ during 2017. Following the change of presentation
        currency in 2017, the Company converted the majority of its cash and
        marketable securities from US dollar to euro.
    --  Taxes on income were approximately EUR0.2 million in the year ended
        December 31, 2018, compared to approximately EUR0.4 million in the year
        ended December 31, 2017. This decrease resulted mainly from the
        application of a tax incentive in the Netherlands applicable for
        companies that invest in energy-efficient technology, claimable upon
        filing the relevant tax return by reducing the amount of taxable profit.
    --  Net profit was approximately EUR0.6 million in the year ended December
        31, 2018, compared to net loss of approximately EUR6.6 million for the
        year ended December 31, 2017.
    --  Net profit per share was approximately EUR0.1 in the year ended December
        31, 2018, compared to net loss per share of approximately EUR0.57 for
        the year ended December 31, 2017.
    --  Total other comprehensive loss was approximately EUR1.2 million for the
        year ended December 31, 2018, compared to total other comprehensive loss
        of approximately EUR0.2 million in the year ended December 31, 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 EUR0.5 million in the year
        ended December 31, 2018, compared to total comprehensive loss of
        approximately EUR6.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2017.
    --  EBITDA was approximately EUR8.7 million for the year ended December 31,
        2018, compared to approximately EUR7.5 million for the year ended
        December 31, 2017.
    --  Net cash from operating activities was approximately EUR6.6 million for
        the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to approximately EUR2.3
        million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase in net cash
        from operating activities is mainly attributable to interest payment
        received during 2018 on a loan to an equity accounted investee.
    --  As of March 1, 2019, the Company held approximately EUR29.8 million in
        cash and cash equivalents, approximately EUR0.4 million in marketable
        securities and approximately EUR6.9 million in restricted short-term and
        long-term cash.

Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay commented: "2018 met our target presenting increased revenues, net profit and a strong cash flow from operations, while we continue promoting our major development projects - Talasol and Manara PSP. We expect to commence the construction of the Talasol project during the first half of 2019 and are diligently promoting the Manara PSP project towards financial closing."

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

As of December 31, 2018, the Company's Net Financial Debt (as such term is defined in the Deeds of Trust of the Company's Debentures) was approximately EUR20.2 million (consisting of approximately EUR69.8 million of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations and approximately EUR51.3 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 EUR39 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and net of approximately EUR61.9 million of project finance 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.
