Ellomay Capital Ltd.
By: /s/ Ran Fridrich Ran Fridrich Chief Executive Officer and Director
Dated: September 28, 2023

Tel-Aviv, Israel, September 28, 2023 – Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American; TASE: ELLO) ("Ellomay" or the "Company"), a renewable energy and power generator and developer of renewable energy and power projects in Europe, USA and Israel, today reported unaudited financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2023.
The first six months of 2023 were characterized by a decline in the electricity prices in Europe in general and in Spain specifically. The second quarter, which is a transition quarter, was mainly harmed by the decrease in electricity prices. During the third quarter, which is a summer quarter, the electricity prices increased and stabilized on approximately €80 per MWh. Despite the decrease in electricity prices during the first half of 2023, the EBITDA decreased only by approximately €0.7 million compared to the same period last year. The development of projects in the USA that was added to the development of projects in Italy and Israel increased the project development expenses. The connection of two first projects in Italy (20 MW PV) is expected in the coming month. The connection will be at a delay of six months compared to the initial expectation and the Company is expected to receive financial indemnification for the delay in the connection from the construction contractor. The Dorad power station showed an increase in revenues and net income and this trend is expected to continue also during the third quarter.
The Company's operations concentrate on three main fields:
The Company's revenues for the quarter were approximately €13.4 million, a decrease of approximately €4 million compared to the same period last year. These revenues are lower than the revenues for the same period last year mainly due to a decrease in electricity prices in Spain. Maintenance and upgrade work on the main transmission line between Spain and Portugal caused a curtailment of the electricity supply from the Company's facilities to the grid for a short period and the impact of this forced curtailment was approximately €1 million. The decrease in the operating profit was more moderate and amounted to approximately €1 million due to a decrease in the expense resulting from the tax imposed on profits of energy manufacturers, which was also caused by the decrease in the electricity prices in Spain. The decrease in prices was expected and was taken into account by the Company.
The cash flow from operations for the second quarter of 2023 was approximately €3.4 million and the cash flow from operations for the first half of 2023 was approximately €5.3 million.
The net profit for the second quarter of 2023 was approximately €1.3 million and the net profit for the first half of 2023 was approximately €4.6 million.
The electricity prices in Spain decreased during the second quarter of 2023 to an average price of €57 per MWh compared to an average price of €159 per MWh for the same quarter last year.
The Talasol PV project (300 MW PV) (Company's share is 51%) produced during the second quarter revenues from the sale of electricity and green certificates of approximately €7.1 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 MW PV) produced during the second quarter of 2023 revenues from the sale of electricity and green certificates of approximately €1.2 million.
The Company has approximately 505 MW PV 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 MW PV by the end of 2026. The Company is negotiating a financing agreement with a leading European bank in the field.
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 and expected to reach commercial operation during the second half of 2026, 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.
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.
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. The Company expects that appeals on the arbitration award will be submitted and the appeal process was agreed in advance and is limited to approximately a six-month period.
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.
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 towards the end of the year.
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.
The Company executed a joint development agreement for the development of photovoltaic 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 and are expected to be constructed within the next 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 fourth quarter of 2023. 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 with whom the Company is currently in discussions.
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 14 of this press release.

Pursuant to the Deeds of Trust governing the Company's Series C, Series D and Series E Debentures (together, the "Debentures"), the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants. For more information, see Item 5.B of the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2023, and below.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company's Net Financial Debt, (as such term is defined in the Deeds of Trust of the Company's Debentures), was approximately €66.5 million (consisting of approximately €291.93 million of shortterm and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations, approximately €141.44 million in connection with the Series C Debentures issuances (in July 2019, October 2020, February 2021 and October 2021), the Series D Convertible Debentures issuance (in February 2021) and the Series E Secured Debentures issuance (in February 2023), net of approximately €74.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, shortterm deposits and marketable securities and net of approximately €291.95 million of project finance and related hedging transactions of the Company's subsidiaries).
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 €4.6 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 €1.9 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).

The Deed of Trust governing the Company's Series C Debentures (as amended on June 6, 2022, the "Series C Deed of Trust"), includes an undertaking by the Company to maintain certain financial covenants, whereby a breach of such financial covenants for two consecutive quarters is a cause for immediate repayment. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Series C Deed of Trust as follows: (i) the Company's Adjusted Shareholders' Equity (as defined in the Series C Deed of Trust) was approximately €125.5 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 34.7%, and (iii) the ratio of the Company's Net Financial Debt to the Company's Adjusted EBITDA6 , was 3.
The following is a reconciliation between the Company's profit and the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Series C Deed of Trust) for the four-quarter period ended June 30, 2023:

The Series E Deed of Trust includes a number of customary causes for immediate repayment, including a default with certain financial covenants for the applicable period, and as noted above a mechanism for the update of the annual interest rate in the event the Company do not meet certain financial covenants. The financial covenants are as follows:
quarters for purposes of the immediate repayment provision and shall not be higher than 11 for purposes of the update of the annual interest provision.
As of June 30, 2023, the financial covenants were met.
The accounting policies applied by the Company in these condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Company in its annual financial statements for 2022.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (hereinafter – "the annual financial statements").
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were authorized for issue on September 28, 2023.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to exercise judgment when making assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the principal assumptions used in the estimation of uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements.
The Amendment narrows the scope of the exemption from recognizing deferred taxes as a result of temporary differences created at the initial recognition of assets and liabilities, so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences.
As a result, companies will need to recognize a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability for these temporary differences at the initial recognition of transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences, such as lease transactions and provisions for decommissioning and restoration.
The Amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 for deferred taxes arising from leases and from decommissioning and restoration liabilities. The Amendment is applied by amending the opening balance of retained earnings for the earliest comparative data presented or adjusting a different component of equity in the period the Amendment was first adopted.
Amendment to IAS 12, Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction ("the Amendment") (cont'd) –
Application of the Amendment did not have a material effect on the financial statements.
Solar power production has a seasonal cycle due to its dependency on the direct and indirect sunlight and the effect the amount of sunlight has on the output of energy produced. Thus, low radiation levels during the winter months decrease power production.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Ellomay Clean Energy Ltd. ("Ellomay Energy"), entered into an Investment Agreement (the "Dori Investment Agreement") with Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd. (the "Luzon Group"), and Ellomay Luzon Energy, with respect to an investment in Ellomay Luzon Energy. Ellomay Luzon Energy holds 18.75% of the share capital of Dorad, which owns an approximate 850 MW bi-fuel operated power plant in the vicinity of Ashkelon, Israel (the "Dorad Power Plant"). Dorad holds production and supply licenses, both expiring in May 2034 and commenced commercial operation in May 2014.
Dorad provided guarantees in favor of the Israeli Electricity Authority, NOGA - electricity system management Ltd. and Israel Natural Gas Lines Ltd. These guarantees were provided through Dorad's shareholders at their proportionate holdings, as required by the financing agreements executed by Dorad. As of June 30, 2023, total performance guarantees provided by Dorad amounted to approximately NIS 163,000 thousand (approximately €40,500 thousand). The Company's indirect share of guarantees that Dorad provided through its shareholders is approximately NIS 15,300 thousand (approximately €3,800 thousand).
Dorad and its shareholders are involved in several legal proceedings as follows:
In connection with the description of the petition to approve a derivative claim filed by Ellomay Luzon Energy and Hemi Raphael (replaced by Ran Fridrich) and related third party notices included in Note 6.A to the annual financial statements, an arbitration award was issued on June 28, 2023. The arbitration award accepted the majority of the claims made by the Plaintiffs )Ellomay Luzon Energy, Ran Fridrich and Eilat Ashkelon Infrastructure Services Ltd.) and the arbitrator ruled that the defendants, severally and jointly, are required to: (i) pay Dorad an amount of \$100 million, bearing interest pursuant to applicable law from January 1, 2013 until the payment date, (ii) bear the expenses of the plaintiffs, including Ellomay Luzon Energy, in an aggregate amount of NIS 20 million, plus VAT, and (iii) bear 80% of the expenses of Dorad in the proceeding (while the Plaintiffs will bear the remaining 20%).
In connection with the description of the petition to approve a derivative claim filed by Edelcom Ltd., one of the shareholders of Dorad ("Edelcom"), included in Note 6.A to the annual financial statements, in connection with an alleged breach of the entrepreneurship agreement, the arbitration award issued on June 28, 2023 provided, inter alia, that the entrepreneurship agreement was not breached and therefore there is no basis for approving a derivative claim.
On July 4, 2023 and on July 5, 2023, the parties to the arbitration (other than Dorad) approached the retired judge named in the arbitration agreement as the agreed appeal arbitrator asking him to agree to rule on the appeal concerning the arbitration award. On July 6, 2023, the judge notified the parties that he agrees to rule on the appeal. In accordance with an agreed procedural arrangement that was approved by the arbitrator in the appeal, the deadline for filing appeals is October 15, 2023, the deadline for submitting a responses to the appeal is November 29, 2023 and the deadline for submitting positions in connection with the responses is December 14, 2023. The arrangement further provides that a counter-appeal can be filed after the main appeal has been filed. A preliminary procedural meeting whose purpose is to set a schedule for submitting written arguments is scheduled for January 4, 2024.
To the Company's knowledge, the parties to the arbitration intend to submit an appeal (and a counterappeal). Therefore, the effect of the aforementioned arbitrator ruling has not yet been included in the financial statements.
With reference to Note 6.A to the annual financial statements under the heading "Potential Expansion of the Dorad Power Plant ("Dorad 2")", on May 28, 2023, the Israeli Government approved the national infrastructures plan (TT"L 11/b) which governs, among other issues, the expansion of the power plant owned by Doard by approximately 650 MW in a combined cycle technology, resulting in aggregate capacity of approximately 1,500 MW. This plan also enables adding batteries with a capacity of approximately 80 MW. On July 12, 2023, Dorad received a copy of a petition submitted by O.P.C Hadera Expansion Ltd. ("OPC") concerning the approval of the Israeli Government. On July 19, 2023, the Israeli Supreme Court rejected the petition submitted by OPC due to non-exhaustion of proceedings. On July 24, 2023, Dorad received a copy of OPC's letter to the Israeli Government, through the Secretary of the Government, requesting an urgent response to OPC's letter dated July 3, 2023 and noting that to the extent the Government does not act accordingly, OPC will have no other recourse and will file a new petition with the court. Furthermore, on July 17, 2023, Dorad received a copy of a petition submitted by Reindeer Energy Ltd. ("Reindeer") concerning the same approval of the Israeli Government. On July 19, 2023, the Israeli court resolved that Reindeer is required to notify the court by July 24, 2023 why its petition should not be deleted as it is premature, without an order to pay legal expenses and while reserving its claims until a final resolution is adopted in the matter. On July 25, 2023, Dorad received a copy of Reindeer's response, claiming that the petition is not premature and that without the court's interference at this stage, the possibility to compete over building a power plant in Central Israel will be eliminated until 2035, therefore, Reindeer claims that the court's suggestion does not maintain its rights but eliminates them and harms the public interest, which requires a discussion of the petition. On July 27, 2023, the court rejected Reindeer's petition resolving that it is premature and that under the circumstances there is no justification to discuss it at this time because it is unclear what the recommendation of the National Infrastructure Committee will be after another discussion and what will be the final resolution of the Israeli Government and the basis of the resolution.
On May 30, 2023, Ellomay PS made a third withdrawal in the amount of NIS 83,000 thousand (approximately €20,845 thousand). The amount withdrawn from the senior Secured Tranche was approximately NIS 76,490 thousand (approximately €19,210 thousand) at an annual interest rate of 4.49% during the construction period and 3.11% from the date of commercial operation. The amount drawn from the Subordinated Secured B Tranche was approximately NIS 6,510 thousand (approximately €1,635 thousand) at an annual interest rate of 4.35% during the construction period and 3.9% from the date of commercial operation.
As part of the Manara PSP project finance, as of June 30, 2023, Ellomay PS paid upfront agency and commitment fees in the accumulated amount of approximately NIS 40,300 thousand (approximately €10,028 thousand), of which approximately NIS 34,000 thousand (approximately €8,461 thousand) were included as other long-term receivables and approximately NIS 6,300 thousand (approximately €1,567 thousand) were capitalized to the amounts drawn from the PSP project finance.
In March 2023 the Company entered into a Joint Development Agreement (hereinafter – the "JDA") with AVI Energy Management LLC (hereinafter – "AVI") for the development of photovoltaic projects in the State of Texas, USA. AVI is a local project development company whose principals are experienced in the development of energy projects, site acquisition, capital markets and commercial management. The JDA provides for the initial development, design, and construction of two solar photovoltaic projects with an aggregate installed capacity of 26 MW DC (hereinafter – the "First Projects") and for the development and design of two additional photovoltaic projects with an aggregate installed capacity of 20 MW DC (hereinafter – the "Additional Projects"). As of the reporting date, both of the First Projects have achieved "ready to build" status and will be constructed within the coming 8-10 months. One of the Additional Projects has also achieved "ready to build" status, and the other project is expected to achieve "ready to build" status during the fourth quarter of 2023. The Additional Projects are expected to be constructed during the second half of 2024. The estimated capital costs for the First Projects are between \$30-\$32 million and the Company's share of such capital costs is expected to be approximately \$19-\$21 million. The estimated capital costs for the Additional Projects are between \$24-\$26 million and the Company's share of such capital costs is expected to be approximately \$15-\$17 million. The remaining capital costs are intended to be covered by tax equity sources with whom the Company is currently in discussions.
In connection with the Framework Agreement executed in December 2019 and further detailed in Note 6.C to the annual financial statements, in connection with the first two photovoltaic plants with an aggregate capacity of approximately 20 MW, a notice to proceed was issued to the EPC contractor in May 2023. The construction works are in advanced stages and these PV plants are expected to be connected to the grid during October 2023.
In addition to the aforementioned PV plants currently under construction, projects with an aggregate capacity of 183 MW reached RTB ("ready to build") status. Of these projects, two PV plants with an aggregate capacity of approximately 105 MW entered into engineering, procurement & construction agreements with METKA EGN Italy S.r.l.

The following table includes information concerning our revenues per facility:
The actual capacity of a photovoltaic plant is generally subject to a degradation of 0.5%-0.7% per year, depending on climate conditions and quality of the solar panels.
These results are not indicative of future results due to various factors, including changes in the regulation and the climate and the degradation of the solar panels.
The initial tariff of NIS 0.9631/kWh was fixed for a period of 20 years and is updated once a year based on changes to the Israeli CPI of October 2011. The tariff was NIS 1.0185/kWh in 2022 and increased to NIS 1.0722/kWh in 2023.
As a result of the accounting treatment of the Talmei Yosef project as a financial asset, out of total proceeds from the sale of electricity of approximately €2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to approximately €2.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2022, only revenues related to the ongoing operation of the plant in the amount of approximately €0.5 million for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 compared to approximately €0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, are recognized as revenues.
The Talasol PV Plant is 51% owned by us.
This plant's permit enables it to produce approximately 7.5 million Nm3 per year, however the actual production capacity of the plant is approximately 9.5 million Nm3 per year.
Our ordinary shares are listed on the NYSE American and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the symbol ELLO. The address of our registered office is 18 Rothschild Blvd., 1 st Floor, Tel Aviv 6688121, Israel.
Our reportable segments, which form our strategic business units, are as follows: (i) PV power plants presented per plant or per geographical areas (Italy, Spain, Ellomay Solar, Talasol and Israel), (ii) 9.375% indirect interest in Dorad, (iii) anaerobic digestion plants ("Biogas") in the Netherlands, and (iv) pumped storage hydro power plant in Manara, Israel. For more information see note 9 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at June 30, 2023.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Revenues were approximately €25.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €29.2 million for the six months ended June 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.

|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (Euro in thousands) | 2023 | 2022 | € | % |
| Spanish PV segment | 1,463 | 2,081 | (618) | (30%) |
| Ellomay Solar PV segment | 2,080 | 327 | 1,753 | 536% |

| Dorad segment | 30,305 | 26,756 | 3,549 | 13 % |
Spanish PV Segment. Revenues from our Spanish PV segment were approximately €1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease mainly resulted from the decrease in electricity prices in Spain.
Ellomay Solar PV Segment. Revenues from our Ellomay Solar PV segment were approximately €2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €0.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Ellomay Solar PV Plant was connected to the Spanish national grid on June 11, 2022 and therefore no revenues were generated or recognized prior to such date.
Talasol PV Segment. Revenues from our Talasol PV segment were approximately €12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €20.4 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease mainly resulted 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.
Israeli PV Segment. Revenues from our Israeli PV segment were approximately €0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The segment revenues for our PV Plant located in Israel are presented under the IFRIC 12 financial asset model as applied in our financial statements. Proceeds for electricity produced by our Israeli PV segment under the fixed asset model were approximately €2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €2.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in revenues is due to the translation from NIS to euro resulting from the strengthening of the euro against the NIS.
Netherlands Biogas Segment. Revenues from our Netherlands Biogas segment were approximately €8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in revenues is mainly due to increased production and an increase in the 2023 gas price.
Dorad Segment. The segment results for Dorad are presented as our share in the results of Dorad in NIS translated into Euro and not under the equity method (equity accounted investee) as applied in our financial statements. Our share in the revenues of Dorad was approximately €30.3 million (approximately NIS 117.6 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €26.8 million (approximately NIS 95.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in Dorad's revenues is mainly due to higher quantities produced and a higher electricity tariff in Israel.
Operating expenses were approximately €12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in operating expenses 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 first half of 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 €8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

| Dorad segment | 22,588 | 20,769 | 1,819 | 9% |
Spanish PV Segment. Operating expenses in connection with our Spanish PV segment were approximately €0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase mainly resulted from insurance reimbursement received in 2022.
Ellomay Solar PV Segment. Operating expenses in connection with our Ellomay Solar PV segment were approximately €0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €0.2 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Ellomay Solar PV Plant was connected to the Spanish national grid on June 11, 2022 and therefore no operating expenses were recognized prior to such date.
Talasol PV Segment. Operating expenses in connection with our Talasol PV segment were approximately €3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease resulted mainly reduced payments under Spanish RDL 17/2021 due to the lower electricity price.
Israeli PV Segment. Operating expenses in connection with our Israeli PV segment were approximately €0.2 million for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
Netherlands Biogas Segment. Operating expenses in connection with our Netherlands biogas segment were approximately €7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase is mainly attributable to the use of higher quality raw materials due to lower availability of cheaper raw materials.
Dorad Segment. The segment results for Dorad are presented as our share in the results of Dorad in NIS translated into euro and not under the equity method (equity accounted investee) as applied in our financial statements. Operating expenses in connection with our Dorad segment were approximately €22.6 million (approximately NIS 87.7 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €20.8 million (approximately NIS 74.3 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in Dorad's operating expenses is mainly due to an increase in gas consumption and increased tariff.
Project development costs were approximately €2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in project development costs is mainly due to the increase in development activities in connection with photovoltaic projects in Israel and USA.
General and administrative expenses were approximately €2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to approximately €3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mostly due to a decrease in D&O liability insurance costs and bonuses paid to employees in 2022.
Our share of profit of equity accounted investee, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately €1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a loss of approximately €0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in share of profits of equity accounted investee was mainly due to the increase in revenues of 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 €1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to financing expenses, net of approximately €2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Tax benefit was approximately €1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to taxes on income of approximately €1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The change is mainly due to deferred tax recognized for carry forward losses.
Profit was approximately €4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a loss of approximately €0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Total other comprehensive income was approximately €31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to total other comprehensive loss of approximately €34.8 million for the six months ended June 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, or the Talasol PPA, which 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 €35.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to total comprehensive loss of approximately €35.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
We hold cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash in various currencies, mainly in euro and NIS. Our investments in our Spanish PV plants, in the Biogas plants and in the Talasol PV plant are denominated in euro and our investments in Dori Energy, in the Talmei Yosef PV plant and in Manara PSP are denominated in NIS. Our debentures are denominated in NIS and the interest and principal payments are made in NIS, the financing of the Talmei Yosef PV plant and the Manara PSP is denominated in NIS and the financing we and Talasol have obtained in connection with our Spanish PV Plants is denominated in euro and, other than the Talasol financing, bears interest that is based on EURIBOR rate. We therefore are affected by changes in the prevailing euro/NIS exchange rates. We cannot predict the rate of appreciation/depreciation of the NIS against the euro in the future, and whether these changes will have a material adverse effect on our finances and operations.
The table below sets forth the annual and semi-annual rates of appreciation (or devaluation) of the NIS against the Euro.

The representative NIS/euro exchange rate was NIS 4.019 for one euro on June 30, 2023 and NIS 3.6364 for one euro on June 30, 2022. The average exchange rates for converting NIS to euro during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were NIS 3.881 and NIS 3.577 for one euro, respectively. The exchange rate as of September 1, 2023 was NIS 4.117 for one euro.
Our PV Plants and other energy manufacturing plants are subject to comprehensive regulation and we sell the electricity and energy produced for rates determined by governmental legislation and to local governmental entities. Any change in the legislation that affects plants such as our plants could materially adversely affect our results of operations. An economic crisis in Europe and specifically in Spain, the Netherlands and Italy, or financial distress of the Israel Electric Corporation or the Israeli electricity system manager could cause the applicable legislator to reduce benefits provided to operators of PV plants or other privately-owned energy manufacturing plants or to revise the incentive regimes that currently govern the sale of electricity in Spain, the Netherlands, Israel and Italy.
For more information see "Item 3.D: Risk Factors - Risks Related to our Renewable Energy Operations," "Item 3.D: Risk Factors - Risks Related to our Investment in Dori Energy," "Item 3.D: Risk Factors - Risks Related to our Other Operations", "Item 4.B: Material Effects of Government Regulations on the PV Plants," "Item 4.B: Material Effects of Government Regulations on Dorad's Operations," "Item 4.B: The Netherlands Waste-to-Energy Market and Regulation" and "Item 4.B: Material Effects of Government Regulations on The Manara PSP" of our Annual Report.
We entered into various project finance agreements in connection with the financing of our Spanish PV Plants, including the Talasol PV plant, the Talmei Yosef PV plant, the Netherlands biogas plants and the Manara PSP. In July 2019, October 2020, February 2021 and October 2021 we issued the Series C Debentures, in February 2021 we issued the Series D Convertible Debentures and in February 2023 we issued the Series E Secured Debentures. We will require additional funds in order to advance the projects that are currently under development or that will be developed in the future. For more information concerning our financing activities, see "Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources" of our Annual Report.
As of June 30, 2023, our working capital was approximately €12.9 million. In our opinion our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements.
We currently invest our excess cash in cash and cash equivalents that are highly liquid and in marketable securities.
As of June 30, 2023, we held approximately €73.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately €1 million in short-term deposits, approximately €0.8 million in short-term restricted cash and approximately €19 million in long-term restricted cash and deposits, compared with approximately €46.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately €2.8 million in marketable securities, approximately €0.9 million in short-term restricted cash and approximately €20.2 million in long-term restricted cash and deposits we held at December 31, 2022. The change in cash and cash equivalents is mainly due to the issuance of our Series E Secured Debentures in February 2023, partially offset by project development expenses and repayments made on account of our other Debentures.
From 2017 through September 1, 2023, we made capital expenditures in an aggregate amount of approximately €11.9 million in connection with the acquisition of the Talmei Yosef PV Plant.

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our condensed consolidated interim financial statements (unaudited), which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. While all the accounting policies impact the financial statements, certain policies may be viewed to be critical. These policies are most important for the fair portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and are those that require our management to make difficult, subjective and complex judgments, estimates and assumptions, based upon information available at the time that they are made, historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The critical accounting policies described in Item 5 of our Annual Report, in note 2 of our consolidated annual financial statements and in note 2 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at June 30, 2023, are those that require management's more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
We are exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency fluctuations and changes in interest rates. We regularly assess currency and interest rate risks to minimize any adverse effects on our business as a result of those factors and periodically use hedging transactions in order to attempt to limit the impact of such changes.
We hold cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash in various currencies, including euro and NIS. Our holdings in the Italian and Spanish PV Plants and in the Netherlands Biogas Projects are denominated in euros and our holdings in the Talmei Yosef PV Plant and in Dori Energy are denominated in NIS. The financing we have in connection with our Italian PV Plants and the Netherlands Biogas Projects is denominated in euros and the financing we have in connection with our Italian PV Plants bears interest that is based on EURIBOR rate. Our Debentures and the project finance debt of the Talmei Yosef PV Plant are denominated in NIS and are to be repaid (principal and interest) in NIS.
For more information concerning hedging transactions, see note 7 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at June 30, 2023.
With the exception of historical facts, the matters discussed in this report and the financial statements attached hereto are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things, future actions, future performance generally, business development activities, future capital expenditures, strategies, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, future financial results, financing sources and availability and the effects of regulation and competition. When we use the words "believe," "intend," "expect," "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," "could," "estimate," "plan," "predict," "project," or their negatives, or other similar expressions, the statements which include those words are usually forward-looking statements. When we describe strategy that involves risks or uncertainties or include statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, we are making forward-looking statements.
Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Please see Item 3.D. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report, in which we have identified important factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements made by us; any such statement is qualified by reference to the following cautionary statements. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all risk factors. Consequently, you should not consider the said section to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
We warn you that forward-looking statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ as a result of risks that we face. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made and we undertake no obligation to update them.
