Insights
Ellomay Capital's recent financial report reveals several key points. Although their total assets increased to €666.8 million by March 31, 2024, revenue dropped significantly from €11.7 million to €8.2 million compared to the same period the previous year. This 30% decrease in revenue is mainly attributed to the substantial decline in electricity prices in Spain, which impacted the company's overall profitability.
The company incurred a loss of €4.6 million from continuing operations and an overall loss of €4.9 million for the quarter, contrasting with net profits in Q1 2023. The increased financing expenses, mainly due to exchange rate differences, also negatively impacted the bottom line. Despite the losses, Ellomay's EBITDA stood at €1.6 million, reflecting operational profitability with some stability in core activities.
From a retail investor's perspective, this mixed financial performance suggests caution. The company's strategic moves in selling the Talmei Yosef solar plant for approximately
Ellomay Capital's diversified geographical presence in renewable energy projects across Europe, Israel and the USA is a positive aspect of their business model. The significant drop in electricity prices in Spain, caused by unusual weather conditions and a surge in hydroelectric power generation, has highlighted the inherent market risks. In contrast, the company's strategic focus on long-term PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) has provided some cushion against price volatility, mitigating the revenue impact.
Ellomay's activities in countries like Italy and the USA demonstrate growth potential. The commencement of construction of 18 MW in Italy and 49 MW in the USA indicates an expanding project pipeline, which could enhance future revenue streams. Additionally, the Italian legislation changes prohibiting new solar projects on agricultural land increase the competitive advantage of Ellomay’s existing portfolio.
Retail investors should note the company's proactive steps in project development and financing, which are essential for future growth. However, the short-term financial setbacks underscore the importance of assessing market conditions and cost structures in their investment decisions.
Ellomay Capital operates in a highly dynamic and regulated industry, where factors such as government policies, weather conditions and market demand can significantly affect performance. The notable decrease in electricity prices in Spain, driven by an unusually warm winter and increased hydroelectric generation, is an example of how environmental factors can impact revenue unpredictably. This situation reinforces the importance of having diversified energy portfolios and relying on long-term PPAs to stabilize income.
The company's ventures into the US market, along with ongoing projects in Italy and Israel, could provide strategic growth opportunities. It's important to highlight that the reduction in construction costs for solar projects in Italy from
Investors should be aware of the sector’s inherent volatility but also recognize the long-term growth potential driven by the global shift towards renewable energy. Ellomay Capital's efforts to secure financing and invest in new projects reflect a forward-looking strategy, albeit with short-term financial hurdles.

Financial Overview for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
- Revenues were approximately
€8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately€11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in revenues mainly results from the decrease in electricity prices inSpain .
- Operating expenses were approximately
€4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately€6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses mainly results from a decrease in direct taxes on turnover 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 three months ended March 31, 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€4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately€4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
- Project development costs were approximately
€1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately€1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in project development costs is mainly due to development expenses in connection with solar projects in theUSA ,Italy , andIsrael .
- General and administrative expenses were approximately
€1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately€1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses is mostly due to higher consultancy expenses.
- The Company's share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately
€1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately€1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in share of profits of equity accounted investee was mainly due to lower financing expenses incurred by Dorad for the period as a result of the CPI indexation of loans from banks.
- Financing expenses, net, were approximately
€3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to financing income of approximately€1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in financing expenses, net, was mainly attributable to expenses resulting from exchange rate differences amounted to approximately€0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to income resulting from exchange rate differences of approximately€4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an aggregate change of approximately€5.1 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 the0.8% appreciation of the NIS against the euro during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a4.8% devaluation of the NIS against the euro during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in financing expenses was partially offset by an increase in financing income of approximately€0.5 million in connection with derivatives and warrants in the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
- Tax benefit was approximately
€0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to taxes on income of approximately€1.4 million in three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in tax is mainly due to deferred tax recorded in connection with carry forward loss for which deferred tax were not previously recorded, partially offset by the decrease in electricity prices inSpain , resulting in lower taxable income of the Company's Spanish subsidiaries.
- Loss from discontinued operation (net of tax) was approximately
€0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a profit from discontinued operation of approximately€0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
- Loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was approximately
€4.9 million , compared to net profit of approximately€3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
- Total other comprehensive income was approximately
€12 million for three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to total other comprehensive loss of approximately€26.6 million in three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in total other comprehensive loss 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 approximately80% 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 inEurope . 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
€7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to total comprehensive loss of approximately€29.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
- EBITDA was approximately
€1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately€4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
- Net cash from operating activities was approximately
€1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to approximately€1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

NIS 80 (subject to customary adjustments), which expire on January 5, 2028. The net proceeds of the offering, net of related expenses such as consultancy fee and commissions, were approximatelyNIS 165 million (approximately€40 million as of the issuance date).

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 18 of this press release.
