Insights

Financial Analyst

The financial results of Ellomay Capital Ltd. reflect the company's resilience in a fluctuating energy market, particularly noticeable in the renewable energy sector. The reported increase in total assets from €576.2 million to €612.3 million signifies a strengthened balance sheet, which is often a positive signal to investors about a company's financial health. The reported profits for both the three and nine-month periods in 2023, compared to losses in the same periods of 2022, indicate a significant turnaround in profitability. This performance could be attributed to strategic operational adjustments and cost-saving measures, such as the reduction in operating expenses and general and administrative expenses.

From a financial perspective, the notable shift from a net loss to a net profit is a strong indicator of improved operational efficiency and potentially increased investor confidence. The EBITDA growth, despite a decrease in revenues, suggests effective cost management and operational leverage. The net cash provided by operating activities also increased, which may contribute to the company's ability to finance its growth without resorting to additional debt or diluting shareholder equity.

However, the decrease in revenues, partially due to the curtailment of electricity supply and lower electricity prices in Spain, presents a challenge that the company needs to continue to address strategically. The reported tax benefit, as opposed to taxes on income in the previous year, also contributes positively to the net profit, but it is important for stakeholders to consider whether such benefits are sustainable or result from one-time fiscal events.

Market Research Analyst

Ellomay Capital's performance in the renewable energy market demonstrates the impact of external factors such as fluctuating electricity prices and geopolitical events on the sector. The reported decrease in electricity prices in Spain, where Ellomay has significant operations, underscores the volatility of the energy market and the importance of hedging strategies, like the Talasol PPA, to mitigate the risk of price fluctuations. The increase in revenues from biogas plants in the Netherlands, likely due to higher gas prices, illustrates the geographical diversification benefits.

The ongoing conflict in Israel, where Ellomay has some operations, highlights the geopolitical risks associated with the energy sector. The ability of the company to continue its headquarter operations uninterrupted and the minimal impact on its Israeli assets is a testament to its crisis management and operational resilience. However, the potential for future escalations poses a risk that must be monitored closely.

Moreover, the company's focus on expanding its project portfolio, particularly in solar energy, with the aim of reaching approximately 1,000 solar MW by the end of 2026, indicates a strategic growth trajectory. This expansion, along with the commencement of new projects in Italy and the USA, positions Ellomay to capitalize on the growing demand for renewable energy, although it also exposes the company to project execution and developmental risks.

Energy Sector Analyst

The renewable energy sector is increasingly influenced by regulatory changes, market dynamics and technological advancements. Ellomay's financial results reflect the company's navigation through these complexities, particularly with regard to regulatory frameworks such as Spain's RDL 17/2022. The reduction in payments under this decree, due to lower market prices, has favorably impacted operating expenses, showcasing the intricate relationship between policy and profitability in this sector.

The reported increase in share of profits from equity accounted investee, Dorad Energy Ltd., due to higher production and tariffs, is indicative of the strategic value of such investments in bolstering the bottom line. The Talasol PPA's volatility underscores the importance of financial instruments in managing revenue predictability in the face of erratic energy prices.

Ellomay's strategic focus on diversification across different regions and energy sources, from solar to biogas, mitigates risks associated with market and price volatility. The company's investment in storage capabilities, particularly in Israel, reflects a forward-thinking approach to energy management and the growing importance of energy storage in enhancing grid stability and supporting the integration of renewable sources.

See below under "Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures" for additional disclosure concerning EBITDA.

Financial Overview

• Revenues were approximately €41.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately €44.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease mainly results from the decrease in electricity prices in Spain and from a curtailment of the electricity supply from the Company's facilities to the grid during June 2023 due to maintenance and upgrade work on the main transmission line between Spain and Portugal, which caused a decrease in revenues of approximately €1 million. The Company subsequently implemented a solution aimed at minimizing the impact of future similar curtailments. The decrease in revenues was partially offset by an increase in revenues from the Company's biogas plants in the Netherlands, resulting mainly from increased production and an increase in the 2023 gas price, and from the connection to the grid of Ellomay Solar (a 28 MW photovoltaic plant in Spain) during June 2022, upon which the Company commenced recognition of revenues.
  
  
• Operating expenses were approximately €17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately €18.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease mainly results from a decrease in payments under the Spanish RDL 17/2022, caused by a reduction in the electricity market price. RDL 17/2022 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. As a result of the decrease in the electricity market price in Spain during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the payments under RDL 17/2022 were lower during this period compared to the same period last year. This decrease in operating expenses was partially offset by increased operating expenses in connection with the Company's biogas operations in the Netherlands caused by the use of higher quality raw materials due to lower availability of cheaper raw materials, and from the connection to the grid of Ellomay Solar during June 2022, upon which the Company commenced recognition of expenses. Depreciation expenses were approximately €12 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately €11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
  
  
• Project development costs were approximately €2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately €2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in project development costs is mainly due to projects in the United States and Italy that reached "ready to build" status, which results in the commencement of the capitalization of expenses related to such projects into fixed assets.
  
  
• General and administrative expenses were approximately €4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately €5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mostly due to a decrease in D&O liability insurance costs and to bonuses paid to employees in 2022.
  
  
• Share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately €4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately €0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. 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 a higher electricity tariff in Israel, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses in connection with the increased production and higher tariff.
  
  
• Financing income, net was approximately €0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to financing expenses, net of approximately €7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The change was mainly attributable to income resulting from exchange rate differences amounting to approximately €8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 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 €1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, caused by the 8% appreciation of the euro against the NIS during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the 1% devaluation of the euro against the NIS during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
  
  
• Tax benefit was approximately €0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to taxes on income of approximately €2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
  
  
• Profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was approximately €10.4 million, compared to a loss of approximately €2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
  
  
• Total other comprehensive income was approximately €31.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to total other comprehensive loss of approximately €61.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The change mainly resulted from changes in fair value of cash flow hedges, including a material increase in the fair value of the financial power swap (the "Talasol PPA") that covers approximately 80% of the output of the Talasol PV Plant compared to the same period last year. The Talasol PPA experienced a high volatility due to the significant changes in electricity prices in Europe that included a substantial increase in prices during 2021 and 2022 and a substantial decrease in prices during 2023. 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.
  
  
• Total comprehensive income was approximately €42 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to total comprehensive loss of approximately €64.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
  
  
• Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately €16.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to approximately €14 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is mainly due to payment of interest from Dorad and to the 8% appreciation of the euro against the NIS during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that impacted our NIS-denominated cash and cash equivalents.
• On October 7, 2023, the "Iron Swards" war broke out in Israel following an attack in Southern Israel by Hamas. The war and hostilities, including missile attacks, mainly on southern and northern Israel, have continued since then. The substantial majority of the Company's operating facilities, which serve as the Company's main sources of liquidity, are located outside of Israel, in Spain and the Netherlands. The substantial majority of the projects under development of the Company are also located outside of Israel, in Italy, the US and Spain. These facilities and projects were not impacted by the war and hostilities in Israel. The Company's headquarters are located in Tel Aviv, which is in central Israel, and the Company's headquarter work continued uninterrupted throughout the war and hostilities. 
  
  The Company has three assets that are currently operating or under construction in Israel: (i) the Talmei Yosef PV Facility (100% owned by the Company, in southern Israel),  (ii) the Pumped Storage Project in the Manara Cliff (83.34% owned by the Company, in northern Israel), and (iii) the Dorad power plant (9.375% owned by the Company, in southern Israel). As previously published by the Company, the construction works on the Manara site stopped in early October 2023 and the contractor is using this period in which construction is halted to continue the planning work and advancing the project. The Company expects to receive compensation for the delays through the fees that will be paid for the electricity and availability after the project becomes operational and through direct compensation for damages. The Talmei Yosef facility and the Dorad power plant have not been materially impacted by the war and are currently fully operational. The continuation or future escalation of the war and hostilities in southern and northern Israel, including potential direct damage due to missile attacks, temporary or permanents cessation of operations and potential inability to access the sites, could materially adversely impact the Company's Israeli operations and projects under development and the Company's results of operations.

CEO Review Third Quarter 2023

The first nine months of 2023 were characterized by a decline in the electricity prices in Europe compared to 2022. The decrease is mainly evident in Spain, whereas in Italy the prices remained stable. Despite the decrease in electricity prices in Spain, the EBITDA for the period increased by approximately €2.3 million compared to the same period last year, and amounted to approximately €21.5 million. The Dorad power station showed an increase in revenues and net income and this trend is expected to continue also during next year.  The development activities of solar projects in the USA is continuing and their construction is expected to commence in the beginning of 2024. In Italy, the construction of a solar project with a capacity of 18 MW commenced, in addition to solar projects with a capacity of 20 MW whose construction finished and they are awaiting connection to the grid.

The Company's operations concentrate on three main fields:

-  Construction of New Projects: solar projects in the USA (land preparation works are complete), solar projects in Italy, and a pumped hydro storage project in the Manara Cliff in Israel.

-  Initiating and Developing of New Projects: solar projects in Italy, Spain, USA and Israel.

-  Management, Operation and Improvement of Generating Projects: in Israel (solar), Spain (solar) and the Netherlands (bio-gas).

The Company's revenues for the quarter were approximately €15.6 million, a small decrease compared to the same period last year, despite the decrease in electricity prices compared to the same period last year. The operating profit increased by approximately €3 million, mainly as a result of the increase in Dorad's profit.

The net profit for the third quarter of 2023 was approximately €5.9 million and the net profit for the first nine months of 2023 was approximately €10.5 million.

Activity in Spain:

The Talasol solar project (300 solar MW) (Company's share is 51%) produced during the third quarter revenues from the sale of electricity and green certificates of approximately €8.9 million. Talasol is a party to a financial hedge of its electricity capture price (PPA). Approximately 80% of its production (75% based on P-50) are sold under this agreement for a fixed price. The remaining electricity produced by Talasol is sold directly to the grid, at spot prices.

The Ellomay Solar project (28 solar MW) produced during the third quarter of 2023 revenues from the sale of electricity and green certificates of approximately €1.5 million.

Activity in Italy:

The Company has approximately 505 solar MW projects under advanced development stages, of which licenses have been obtained for approximately 203 MW. Projects with an aggregate capacity of 20 MW are expected to be connected to the grid during the coming month. Preliminary construction works in projects with an aggregate capacity of approximately 105 MW commenced during the third quarter of 2023 and construction works in the remainder of the licenses (approximately 78 MW) are expected to commence in early 2024.

The Company has additional projects in early development stages (in addition to the 505 MW in advanced development stages), the intention of the Company is to reach a portfolio of approximately 1,000 solar MW by the end of 2026.

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. The Iron Swards War, which commenced on October 7, 2023, stopped the construction works on the project. The project has full protection for damages and losses due to the war within the framework of covenants that support financing provided by the Israeli state as part of the tariff regulation. The project is expected to reach commercial operation during the first half of 2027, and to produce average annual revenues of approximately €74 million and EBITDA of approximately €33 million.[1] 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:

Projects no. 1 and 2 are based on tender No. 1 that the Company won and there is an option of transition to regulation that enables a direct sale to end customers.

1. The Komemiyut Project: intended for 21 solar MW and 47 MW / hour batteries. The project has an approval for connection to the grid and is in the process of receiving a building permit. Commencement of construction is planned for the first quarter of 2024.
2. The Qelahim Project: intended for 15 solar MW and 33 MW / hour batteries. The project has an approval for connection to the grid, and is in the final stages of the zoning approval.
3. The Talmei Yosef Project: an expansion of the existing project to 104 dunams, intended for 10 solar MW and 22 MW / hour batteries. The request for zoning approval was approved in the fourth quarter of 2023.
4. The Talmei Yosef Storage Project in Batteries: there is a zoning approval for 30 dunam, intended for approximately 400 MW / hour. The project is designed for the regulation of high voltage storage.
5. In addition, the Company has approximately 46 solar MW under preliminary planning stages.

Dorad Power Station (Company's share is approximately 9.4%): the gas flow from the Karish reservoir that began in November 2022 reduced the gas costs of Dorad. Dorad benefited from the increase in the TAOZ and the production component compared to the same period last year. In addition, the Israeli Electricity Authority's resolution in connection with the changes of the hourly tariffs, which entered into force in January 2023, means an extension of the "summer" period (a month was added to the "summer" season in which the tariffs are higher), the elimination of the "GEVA" (average consumption) hours and the change in the "PISGA" (peak) hours in the intermediate seasons to the afternoon and evening. As a result, Dorad provides availability to the system manager for the "SHEFEL" (low) period, which is longer and the demand of the system manager is higher. As a result of the continuous operations of the power plant, the maintenance expenses decreased and the hours of operation increased, increasing production and the revenues and profit. Moreover, the Israeli government decided to increase the power station by an additional 650 MW and the National Infrastructure Committee approved the TTL/11/B plan – expansion of the Dorad power station.

In June 2023, an arbitration award was given that, among other issues, obligated Zorlu and Edeltech to refund approximately $130 million to Dorad and to pay the derivative plaintiffs NIS 20 million as reimbursement of legal expenses. Appeals on the arbitration award were submitted by both parties and the appeal process was agreed in advance and is expected to end in the first quarter of 2024.

Activity in the Netherlands:

In connection with the military conflict 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. The price of these certificates has increased from approximately 13–15 euro cents per cubic meter to around 45 euro cents per cubic meter. The prices of greed certificates continue to rise and the expectation is that the price will reach approximately 60 euro cents per cubic meter in 2024. 

The Company estimates that with the increasing importance of the biogas field, this field entered into a new era. In the Netherlands, new legislation was adopted that obliges the gas suppliers to incorporate green gas in a scope of up to 20% of the amount supplied by them, valid commencing January 1, 2025. This legislation and the growing demand for green certificates derived from the biogas industry, is expected to add and significantly improve the results of the biogas segment of the Company.

Activity in Texas, USA:

The Company executed a joint development agreement for the development of solar projects in the State of Texas, USA. The agreement covers an initial two projects, with an aggregate installed capacity of 26 MW DC, and an option for two additional projects under similar terms with an aggregate installed capacity of 20 MW DC. The first two projects have reached ready-to-build status, commencement of construction is expected in the beginning of 2024 and they are expected to be constructed within 8-10 months. One of the two additional projects has also reached ready-to-build status and the other additional project is expected to achieve ready-to-build status during the first quarter of 2024. It is expected that the two additional projects will be constructed during the second half of 2024. The estimated capital cost for the first two projects is $30-$32 million, of which the Company's share is expected to be approximately $19-$21 million. The estimated capital cost for the two additional projects is $24-$26 million, of which the Company's share is expected to be $15-$17 million. The remaining capital costs are expected to be covered by tax equity partners.

In connection with the undertaking included in Section 3.17.2 of Annex 6 of the Series E Deed of Trust, no circumstances occurred during the reporting period under which the rights to loans provided to Ellomay Luzon Energy Infrastructures Ltd. (formerly U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd. ("Ellomay Luzon Energy")), which were pledged to the holders of the Company's Series E Debentures, will become subordinate to the amounts owed by Ellomay Luzon Energy to Israel Discount Bank Ltd.

As of September 30, 2023, the value of the assets pledged to the holders of the Series E Debentures in the Company's books (unaudited) is approximately €33.2 million (approximately NIS 134.6 million based on the exchange rate as of such date).

[1]  EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of the Manara Project's EBITDA to the Manara Project's net profit/loss on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort because items that impact this IFRS financial measure are not within the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. These items include, among others, exchange rate fluctuations, depreciation and amortization, other income, finance income, finance expenses and taxes on income. Such items may have a significant impact on the future financial results and the Company believes such a reconciliation for the projected results will not be meaningful.

[2] The gross profit of the Talmei Yosef PV Plant located in Israel is adjusted to include income from the sale of electricity (approximately €3,261 thousand) and depreciation expenses (approximately €1,726 thousand) under the fixed asset model, which were not recognized as revenues and depreciation expenses, respectively, under the financial asset model as per IFRIC 12.

[3] The amount of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest-bearing financial obligations amount provided above, includes an amount of approximately €4.5 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. 

[4] The amount of the Debentures 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. 

[5] 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).

[6] 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."

[7] 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."

[8] The term "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined in the Series E 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 E 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 E Deed of Trust). The Series E 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.
