Ellomay Capital Reports Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 26, 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 month period ended March 31, 2019.

Financial Highlights

    --  Revenues were approximately EUR4.7 million for the three months ended
        March 31, 2019, compared to approximately EUR3 million for the three
        months ended March 31, 2018, an increase of approximately 56%. The
        increase in revenues is mainly a result of the commencement of
        operations of the Company's waste-to-energy project in Oude Tonge, the
        Netherlands (the "WtE Project") in June 2018 and relatively higher
        levels of radiation and electricity spot prices in Italy during 2019
        compared to 2018.
    --  Operating expenses were approximately EUR1.7 million for the three
        months ended March 31, 2019, compared to approximately EUR0.9 million
        for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in operating
        expenses is mainly attributable to the commencement of operations of the
        Company's WtE Project in June 2018, as waste-to-energy operations are
        characterized by higher operating expenses compared to PV operations due
        to the cost of the components of raw materials and waste removal.
        Depreciation expenses were approximately EUR1.6 million for the three
        months ended March 31, 2019, compared to approximately EUR1.4 million
        for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase reflects the
        commencement of operations of the Company's WtE Project in the
        Netherlands.
    --  Project development costs were approximately EUR0.9 million for the
        three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to approximately EUR0.8
        million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in
        project development expenses is mainly attributable to consultancy
        expenses in connection with the Pumped Storage Project in the Manara
        Cliff in Israel.
    --  General and administrative expenses were approximately EUR0.9 million
        for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to approximately
        EUR1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease
        in general and administrative expenses resulted mainly from payment in
        2018 of approximately EUR0.4 million pursuant to a VAT assessment
        agreement from previous years in Israel.
    --  Share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of
        intercompany transactions, was approximately EUR1.2 million for each of
        the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.
    --  Financing expenses, net was approximately EUR1.7 million for the three
        months ended March 31, 2019, compared to approximately EUR0.4 million
        for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in financing
        expenses was mainly due to expenses in connection with exchange rate
        differences amounting to approximately EUR1.2 million in the three
        months ended March 31, 2019, mainly in connection with the New Israeli
        Shekel denominated Series A Debentures and Series B Debentures, caused
        by the 5% devaluation of the euro against the NIS during the three
        months ended March 31, 2019, compared to income of approximately EUR0.9
        million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, caused by the 4%
        revaluation of the euro against the NIS during the three months ended
        March 31, 2018. This increase was partially offset by income in
        connection with the reevaluation of the Company's euro/US$ forward
        transactions of approximately EUR0.4 million for the three months ended
        March 31, 2019, compared to expenses of EUR0.6 million for the three
        months ended March 31, 2018.
    --  Taxes on income were approximately EUR0.2 million for the three months
        ended March 31, 2019, compared to approximately EUR0.01 million for the
        three months ended March 31, 2018.
    --  Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was approximately EUR1
        million, compared to approximately EUR0.4 million for the three months
        ended March 31, 2018.
    --  Total other comprehensive income was approximately EUR0.6 million for
        the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to a loss of
        approximately EUR1.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018.
        The change mainly resulted from 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 EUR0.4 million for the three
        months ended March 31, 2019, compared to total comprehensive loss of
        approximately EUR1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
    --  EBITDA was approximately EUR2.5 million for the three months ended March
        31, 2019, compared to approximately EUR1.3 million for the three months
        ended March 31, 2018.
    --  Net cash from operating activities was approximately EUR0.2 million for
        the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to approximately EUR2.9
        million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in net
        cash from operating activities is mainly attributable to payment of
        interest on a loan from an equity accounted investee of approximately
        EUR1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018, in addition to
        the timing of the receipt of revenues, as January 2019 revenues from
        electricity produced in Italy were collected in April 2019 while January
        2018 revenues from electricity produced in Italy were mainly collected
        in March 2018.
    --  In March 2019, four of the Company's Spanish subsidiaries entered into a
        facility agreement with Bankinter, S.A governing the procurement of
        project financing in the aggregate amount of approximately EUR18.4
        million (the "Project Finance"). The EUR18.4 million principal amount is
        divided into: (i) four term loan facilities, one for each Subsidiary, in
        the aggregate amount of EUR17.6 million (EUR0.2 million borrowing costs
        were capitalized to the principal amount) with terms ending in May 2028,
        and (ii) revolving facilities, one for each Subsidiary, aimed to cover
        financial needs for the debt service coverage in case of a liquidity
        shortfall of the Subsidiaries, in the aggregate amount of EUR0.8
        million. The termination date of the Project Finance is December 31,
        2037 and an annual interest at the rate of Euribor 6 months plus a
        margin of 2% (with a zero interest floor) is repaid semi-annually on
        June 20 and December 20. The principal is repaid on a semi-annual basis
        based on a pre-determined sculptured repayment schedule. The Project
        Finance documentation requires the Subsidiaries to enter into interest
        swap agreements for an amount equal to at least 70% of the amount of the
        Facility Agreement. The Subsidiaries entered into the swap agreements on
        March 12, 2019 with respect to approximately Euro 17.6 million (with a
        decreasing notional principal amount based on the amortization table)
        until December 2037, replacing the Euribor 6 month rate with a fixed 6
        month rate of approximately 1%, resulting in a fixed annual interest
        rate of approximately 3%.
    --  On April 30, 2019, the Company, through its Spanish subsidiary Talasol
        Solar, S.L.U. (the "Project Company"), closed on financing for the
        construction of a photovoltaic plant with a peak capacity of 300MW in
        the municipality of Talaván, in Extramadura Spain (the "Talasol
        Project") and the closing of the sale of 49% of its indirect holdings in
        the Project Company. The purchase price under the SPA was fixed at
        EUR16.1 million. Following the consummation of these transactions,
        Talasol provided the engineering, procurement and construction
        contractor of the Talasol Project, METKA EGN Limited, a notice to
        proceed with the construction works of the Talasol Project. The Talasol
        Project's total CAPEX is expected to be approximately EUR228 million, of
        which an aggregate amount of approximately EUR131 million will be
        provided by a term loan under the project finance obtained by Talasol
        from Rabobank, ABN AMRO and Deutsche Bank (commercial tranche) and the
        European Investment Bank.
    --  In May 2019, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Ellomay Water Plants
        Holdings (2014) Ltd. ("Ellomay 2014"), executed a term sheet with an
        Israeli investor, for the sale by Ellomay 2014 of shares representing
        10% of the share capital and of the shareholders loans of Ellomay Pumped
        Storage (2014) Ltd. ("Ellomay Manara"). Ellomay 2014 currently owns 75%
        of the share capital of Ellomay Manara, which is promoting the 156 MW
        pumped storage project in the Manara Cliff, Israel (the "Manara PSP").
        The consummation of the sale of the interests in Ellomay Manara is
        scheduled to occur simultaneously with the financial closing of the
        Manara PSP and is subject to the occurrence of certain conditions
        precedent, including the execution of definitive agreements, the
        completion of a due diligence process by the investor, obtaining
        regulatory approvals and other customary conditions to closing. The
        consummation of the sale to the investor as detailed herein is subject
        to the occurrence of certain events and circumstances, including the
        fulfilment of the conditions to closing and the financial closing of the
        Manara PSP, that are not entirely within the control of the Company,
        Ellomay 2014 or Ellomay Manara. There can be no assurance as to whether
        or when these events and circumstances will occur and the conditions to
        closing will be satisfied.
    --  As of June 1, 2019, the Company held approximately EUR73.2 million in
        cash and cash equivalents (including approximately EUR49.5 million
        designated for the Talasol project), approximately EUR2.2 million in
        marketable securities and approximately EUR12.3 million in restricted
        short-term and long-term cash and marketable securities.

Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay commented: "Q1 2019 was characterized by continued growth in all operational parameters, an increase in revenues, an increase in gross profit, and a significant increase in operating profit compared to Q1 2018. The construction of the TALASOL project (a 300 MW PV project in Spain) began following the balance sheet date. The TALASOL project is one of the largest projects being built in Europe and is not dependent on government subsidies. The TALASOL project executed a financial power swap agreement (PPA) in respect of approximately 80% of its expected output. This first-of-its-kind agreement guarantees a fixed electricity price for 10 years of operations, allowing the Talasol project to secure stable income and enabled the procurement of project financing provided by leading European banks (EIB, DB, RABOBANK and ABN-AMRO). The TALASOL project is a significant achievement for the Company and an important milestone in the Company's ability to initiate, develop and construct large-scale projects. In addition, in the first quarter of 2019, the Company took over the project management of the BIO-GAS facilities in the Netherlands. As a result, we have seen evidence of operational improvement, reflected in increased production and reduced of operational costs. The full results of the operational changes and investments in equipment currently in process in the BIO-GAS projects are expected to be reflected in the second half of 2019."

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

As of March 31, 2019, the Company's Net Financial Debt (as such term is defined in the Deeds of Trust of the Company's Debentures) was approximately EUR12.1 million (consisting of approximately EUR87.3 million of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations and approximately EUR54.1 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 EUR48.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and net of approximately EUR80.8 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.
