Financial Overview for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

• Revenues were approximately €19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately €25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease mainly results from the decrease in electricity prices in Spain.

• Operating expenses were approximately €9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately €11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses mainly results from a decrease in direct taxes on electricity production paid by the Company’s Spanish subsidiaries as a result of reduced electricity prices. The operating expenses of the Company’s Spanish subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were impacted by the Spanish RDL 17/2022, which established the reduction 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. Depreciation and amortization expenses were approximately €8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately €7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
  
  ¹ The revenues presented in the Company’s financial results included in this press release are based on IFRS and do not take into account the adjustments included in the Company’s investor presentation.

• Project development costs were approximately €2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately €2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

• General and administrative expenses were approximately €3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately €2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses is mostly due to higher consultancy expenses.

• Share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately €1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately €1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in share of profits of equity accounted investee was mainly due to an increase in revenues of Dorad Energy Ltd. as a result of higher quantities produced, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses in connection with the increased production.

• Financing expenses, net was approximately €2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to financing income, net of approximately €1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in financing expenses, net, was mainly attributable to lower income resulting from exchange rate differences that amounted to approximately €1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately €6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an aggregate change of approximately €5.9 million. The exchange rate differences were mainly recorded in connection with the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) cash and cash equivalents and The Company’s NIS denominated debentures and were caused by the 0.2% devaluation of the NIS against the euro during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a devaluation of 7.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2023. An additional increase in financing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was due to increased interest expenses mainly resulting from the issuance of the Company’s Series F Debentures in January and April 2024. These increases in financing expenses were partially offset by an increase in financing income of approximately €3.3 million in connection with derivatives and warrants in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

• Tax benefit was approximately €1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to Tax benefit of approximately €1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

• Loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately €3.4 million, compared to profit from continuing operations of approximately €4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

• Profit from discontinued operation (net of tax) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was approximately €80 thousand, compared to loss discontinued operation of approximately €3 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

• Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was approximately €3.3 million, compared to a profit of approximately €4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

• Total other comprehensive income was approximately €5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to total other comprehensive income of approximately €31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The change in total other comprehensive income mainly results from changes in fair value of cash flow hedges, including a material decrease in the fair value of the liability resulting from the financial power swap that covers approximately 80% of the output of the Talasol solar plant (the “Talasol PPA”). The Talasol PPA experienced a high volatility due to the substantial change in electricity prices in Europe. 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.

• Total comprehensive income was approximately €2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to total comprehensive income of approximately €35.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

• EBITDA was approximately 6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately €9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. 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 €0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to approximately €5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, is mainly due to the decrease in electricity prices in Spain. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company’s Dutch biogas plants elected to temporarily exit the subsidy regime and sell the gas at market prices and during the year ended December 31, 2024 these plants returned to the subsidy regime. Under the subsidy regime, plants are entitled to monthly advances on subsidies based on the production during the previous year. As no subsidies were paid to the Company’s Dutch biogas plants for 2023, these plants are not entitled to advance payments for 2024 and the payment for gas produced by the plants during 2024 is expected to be received until July 2025.

CEO Review Second Quarter 2024

Revenues in the first half of 2024 were approximately €19.5 million, compared to revenues of approximately €25 million in the corresponding half last year. The decrease in revenues in an amount of approximately €5.5 million was mainly due to the electricity prices in Spain, which were low and even sometimes negative during the months of March, April and May 2024. During June 2024 the prices started increasing and during July and august 2024 the prices continued to rise sharply.

Operating expenses in the first half of 2024 decreased by approximately €2.3 million compared to the corresponding half last year. Project development expenses in the first half of 2024 increased by approximately €0.1 million compared to the corresponding half last year. Project development expenses for the first half of 2024 included non-recurring expenses of approximately €0.5 million in connection with the cancellation of a guarantee. Excluding such non-recurring expenses, there was a decrease in project development expenses.

Activity in Spain:

In May 2024, the Ellomay Solar project (capacity of 28 MW) reached financial closing of project finance in the amount of €10 million for 16 years at an annual interest rate, fixed through an interest rate swap deal, of approximately 5.5%. After receiving the financing, the majority of the investment in the project was returned.

In the first half of 2024, the Company experienced a trend of a strong decrease in electricity prices in Europe, with the exception of Italy where prices remained stable. The decrease in electricity prices in Spain was approximately 70% compared to the corresponding half in 2023. The most significant decrease was in March, April and May 2024, in which prices decreased by approximately 90% compared to the corresponding months in 2023. The prices picked up in mid-June 2024 and sharply increased in July and August 2024. The main reasons for the decrease in prices in Spain during the first half of 2024 are the relatively warm winter by approximately 6 to 8 degrees (Celsius) above the average on the one hand, and substantial rainfall that caused a sharp increase in hydroelectric power generation on the other hand, when in March alone the power generation from hydro sources jumped from 2,000 GW in the corresponding month in 2023 to 4,700 GW and in April the power generation from hydro sources almost tripled compared to the corresponding month last year. The high output of hydroelectricity also caused a corresponding decrease in the prices of green certificates. A return to normative prices was recorded only in June 2024. In the Company’s estimation this is an unusual event that affected the entire electricity sector in Europe.

Despite the significant drop in electricity prices in Spain, the Company’s revenues from the sale of electricity in Spain for the first half of 2024 did not decrease at the same rate, and stood at approximately €11 million, compared to revenues of approximately €16.2 million in the corresponding half last year. The main reason for the significant drop in electricity prices in Spain not fully impacting the Company’s revenues is that most of the electricity the Company sells in Spain is under a long-term PPA.

Activity of Dorad:

In the first half of 2024, the Dorad power plant recorded an increase in profit, with net profit of approximately NIS 96.3 million, an increase of approximately NIS 21.5 million compared to the corresponding half last year. The Dorad power station received the approval of the National Infrastructures Committee and a positive connection survey to increase the capacity by an additional 650 MW.

Activity in the USA:

In the USA, the development and construction activities of solar projects are progressing at a rapid pace and the construction of the first four projects, with a total capacity of approximately 49 MW, began in early 2024. Completion of construction and connection to the grid of two projects (in an aggregate capacity of approximately 27 MW) is expected by the end of 2024 and of the other two projects (in an aggregate capacity of approximately 22 MW) is expected in early 2025. Additional projects with an aggregate capacity of approximately 30-40 MW are under development and are intended for construction in 2025. The Company executed an agreement to sell the tax credits of the first four projects for approximately $19M.

Activity in Italy:

The Company has a portfolio of 462 MW solar projects in Italy of which 20 MW are operating, 18 MW are under construction, 195 MW are ready to build and 229 MW are under advanced development. The construction of a solar project with a capacity of approximately 18 MW (ELLO 10) is expected to be completed in November 2024, this is in addition to solar projects with a capacity of approximately 20 MW that were gradually connected to the grid during February-May 2024. Therefore, the increase in income from the sale of electricity in Italy will be reflected mainly in the second half of 2024. The construction prices of solar projects in Italy are declining from record levels of approximately €900 thousand per MW to approximately €675 thousand as of today, and the trend may continue. The Company is negotiating with the contractor for construction agreements adjusted to the new market prices for 160 MW that are ready to build, and these agreements are expected to be executed by the end of the year.

New legislation in Italy prohibits the establishment of new projects on agricultural land. This prohibition increases the value of the Company’s portfolio, which is not subject to the prohibition or located on agricultural land. The Company estimates that new possibilities are emerging for obtaining a PPA in Italy, therefore it is expected that project financing will be possible more easily and at lower costs.

The Company executed a commitment letter and term sheet with a European institutional investor for a financing transaction for solar projects with an aggregate capacity of approximately 200 MW. The financing is for 23 years at a fixed interest rate. The parties are in the process of due diligence and negotiation on the agreement, and the final financing agreement is expected to be executed by the end of 2024.

Considering these developments, and the decrease in construction costs, the Company believes that its decision to slow down the pace of construction commencements to meet lower construction and financing costs was correct. Electricity prices in Italy maintain a stable level. Italy is the only country in Europe where no negative electricity prices were recorded. The main reason is local gas-based electricity generation, and no change is expected in the short and medium term.

Activity in Israel:

The Manara Cliff Pumped Storage Project (Company’s share is 83.34%): A project with a capacity of 156 MW, which is in advanced construction stages. The Iron Swords War, which commenced on October 7, 2023, stopped the construction work on the project. The project has protection from the state for damages and losses due to the war within the framework of the tariff regulation (covenants that support financing). The project was expected to reach commercial operation during the first half of 2027 and the continuation of the Iron Swords war will cause a delay in the date of activation. The Israeli Electricity Authority currently approved a postponement of ten months of the dates for the project. In August 2024, a hearing was published in connection with an additional extension of six months (for an aggregate extension of 16 months). The Company and its partner in the project, Ampa, invested the equity required for the project (other than linkage differences), and the remainder of the funding is from a consortium of lenders led by Mizrahi Bank, at a scope of approximately NIS 1.18 billion.

Development of Solar licenses combined with storage:

1. The Komemiyut and Qelahim Projects: each intended for 21 solar MW and 50 MW / hour batteries. The sale of electricity will be conducted through a private supplier. Commencement of construction is planned for the first quarter of 2025.
   The Company waived the rights it won in a solar / battery tender process in connection with these projects and therefore paid a forfeiture of guarantee in the amount of NIS 1.8 million and is in advanced negotiations with a local supplier for the execution of a long-term PPA.

2. The Talmei Yosef Project: intended for 10 solar MW and 22 MW / hour batteries. The request for zoning approval was approved in the fourth quarter of 2023.

3. The Talmei Yosef Storage Project in Batteries: there is a zoning approval for approximately 400 MW / hour. The project is designed for the regulation of high voltage storage.

The Company also has approximately 46 solar MW under preliminary planning stages.

Activity in the Netherlands:

During the first half of 2024, the operational improvement in the Company’s biogas plants continued and high production levels were maintained. In addition, significant progress was made in the process of obtaining the licenses to increase production by about 50% in the three plants. Increasing production will require only small investments and is expected to increase income and EBITDA. The directive of the European Union to act to significantly increase the production of greed gas and the establishment of the new government in the Netherlands enable the continuation of the legislative process mandating the obligation to mix green gas with fossil gas and the conclusion of the legislative process is expected soon. This legislation is expected to have a positive effect on the prices of green gas and the price of the accompanying green certificates.

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 15 of this press release.

⁸ The adjustment is based on the results of solar plants in Italy that were connected to the grid and commenced delivery of electricity to the grid during the six months ended June 30, 2024. As these solar plants have not reached PAC (Preliminary Acceptance Certificate) as of June 30, 2024, the Company recorded revenues and did not have direct expenses in connection with these solar plants. However, for the sake of caution, the Company included the expected fixed expenses in connection with these solar plants in the calculation of the adjustment.

¹⁰ The adjustment is based on the results of solar plants in Italy that were connected to the grid and commenced delivery of electricity to the grid during the six months ended June 30, 2024. As these solar plants have not reached PAC (Preliminary Acceptance Certificate) as of June 30, 2024, the Company recorded revenues and did not have direct expenses in connection with these solar plants. However, for the sake of caution, the Company included the expected fixed expenses in connection with these solar plants in the calculation of the adjustment.

Information for the Company’s Series F Debenture Holders

The Deed of Trust governing the Company’s Series F 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 F Deed of Trust is a cause for immediate repayment. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Series F Deed of Trust as follows: (i) the Company’s Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity (as defined in the Series F Deed of Trust) was approximately €116.3 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 46.5%, and (iii) the ratio of the Company’s Net Financial Debt to the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA¹¹ was 5.4.

The following is a reconciliation between the Company’s loss and the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Series F Deed of Trust) for the four-quarter period ended June 30, 2024:

¹¹ The term “Adjusted EBITDA” is defined in the Series F 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 F 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 F Deed of Trust). The Series F 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 F 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.”
