Ellomay Capital Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year of 2021

Tel-Aviv, Israel, March 31, 2022 – 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 and Israel, today reported its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

The Talasol Refinancing

In January 2022, Talasol Solar S.L. ("Talasol"), completed a refinancing (the "Refinancing") of its project finance by closing of a Facilities Agreement in the aggregate amount of €175 million provided by European institutional lenders (the "Talasol New Financing") and early repayment in full of the outstanding €121 million under the previous Talasol project finance (the "Talasol Previous Financing"). The weighted average life of the Talasol New Financing is approximately 11.5 years, compared to an original weighted average life of 5.5 years of the Talasol Previous Financing. The Talasol New Financing bears a fixed annual interest rate at a weighted average of approximately 3%, compared to a variable interest rate that was fixed at an average of approximately 3% by an interest rate swap contract in the Talasol Previous Financing.

Although the Talasol New Financing achieved financial closing in January 2022, as the Refinancing was highly probable to be completed, our financial results as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 were impacted, mainly as follows: (i) the Talasol Previous Financing in the amount of approximately €121 million was presented as current liabilities, (ii) the fair value of the interest rate swap contract associated with the Talasol Previous Financing in the amount of approximately €3.3 million was recorded as a financing expense and presented as a current liability, (iii) the expected payment of dividend to Talasol's minority shareholders in the amount of approximately €15 million was presented as a current liability, and (iv) the Company amortized the outstanding balance of expenses that were capitalized to the Talasol Previous Financing in the aggregate amount of approximately €12.2 million. In January, the proceeds on account of the Talasol New Financing were used to repay the outstanding balance of €121 million that was presented as a current liability and the Talasol New Financing was recorded as a long term liability.

Financial Highlights

  • Revenues were approximately €44.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to approximately €9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The revenue increase is mainly attributable to the achievement of PAC (preliminary acceptance certificate) of the photovoltaic plant held by Talasol Solar S.L. (the "Talasol PV Plant") on January 27, 2021, upon which the Company commenced recognition of revenues. The increase is also attributable to the Groen Gas Gelderland B.V. biogas facility (the "Gelderland Biogas Plant") acquisition, in December 2020 and to improved operational efficiency at the Company's biogas plants in the Netherlands.
  • Operating expenses were approximately €17.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to approximately €5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase is mainly attributable to the achievement of PAC of the Talasol PV Plant on January 27, 2021, and the Gelderland Biogas Plant acquisition in December 2020. Depreciation expenses were approximately €15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to approximately €3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
  • Project development costs were approximately €2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to approximately €3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This decrease is mainly due to capitalization of expenses in connection with the project to construct a 156 MW pumped storage hydro power plant in the Manara Cliff, Israel (the "Manara PSP").
  • General and administrative expenses were approximately €5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to approximately €4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is mostly due to increased D&O liability insurance costs and an increase in the management fee paid to the Company's Chairman and CEO, as well as Talasol's general and administrative expenses following the achievement of PAC of the Talasol PV Plant on January 27, 2021.
  • Company's share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately €0.12 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to approximately €1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This decrease is mainly attributable to the decrease in revenues of Dorad Energy Ltd. ("Dorad") and higher financing expenses incurred by Dorad as a result of the CPI indexation of loans from banks.
  • Other income was 0 in the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to other expenses, net, of approximately €2.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. The other income recorded in 2020 was due to a cancellation of a provision for potential indemnification recorded in this amount during 2019 in connection with the sale of our Italian subsidiaries.
  • Financing expenses, net were approximately €26.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to approximately €3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in financing expenses, net, was mainly due to the following:
    • o Financing expenses in connection with the Talasol PV Plant, previously capitalized to fixed assets, are recognized in profit and loss starting from the PAC, consisting of (i) approximately €2.2 million of interest of bank loans, (ii) approximately €0.9 million of swap related payments, (iii) approximately €0.3 million of expenses in connection with Talasol's project financing, and (iv) approximately €2.1 million of interest accrued on shareholder loans granted by the minority shareholders of Talasol.
    • o An amount of approximately €15.5 million recorded as of December 31, 2021 in connection with the Talasol Refinancing. Such expenses include approximately €3.3 million recorded in connection with the termination of the interest rate swap contract and €12.2 million in connection with the amortization of the outstanding balance of expenses that were capitalized to the Talasol previous project finance.
    • o Approximately €0.9 million of expenses in connection with the early repayment of the Company's Series B Debentures.
  • Tax benefit was approximately €2.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to tax benefit of approximately €0.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in tax benefit was mainly due to the expenses recorded by the Talasol PV Plant in connection with the expected prepayment of the Talasol previous project finance.
  • Net loss was approximately €20.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to net loss of approximately €6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
  • Total other comprehensive loss was approximately €4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to total other comprehensive income of approximately €2.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. The change was mainly due to changes in fair value of cash flow hedges and from foreign currency translation differences on NIS denominated operations, due to fluctuations in the euro/NIS exchange rates.
  • Total comprehensive loss was approximately €24.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to total comprehensive loss of approximately €3.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2020.
  • EBITDA was approximately €19.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to approximately €0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
  • Net cash from operating activities was approximately €15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately €5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in net cash from operating activities is mainly attributable to the achievement of PAC of the Talasol PV Plant on January 27, 2021, upon which the Company commenced recognition of revenues and expenses.
  • On October 25, 2021, the Company issued additional Series C Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of NIS 120,000 thousand (approximately €32,100 thousand) to Israeli classified investors in a private placement for an aggregate gross consideration of approximately NIS 121,600 thousand (approximately €32,529 thousand), reflecting a price of NIS 1.0135 per NIS 1 principal amount.
  • As of March 10, 2021, the Company held approximately €78.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately €1.9 million in marketable securities, €27.7 million in short term deposits and approximately €15.4 million in restricted short-term and long-term cash.

Fiscal 2021 CEO Review

Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of the Company, provided the following CEO review:

"In 2021 the Company met its business plan goals, which included among other things:

  • Operating the Talasol PV Plan for the year, with PAC achieved on January 27, 2021, with an average availability of 98%;
  • Refinancing the debt of the Talasol PV Plant under improved interest, term and repayment terms, which enabled an immediate repayment of shareholders' loans to Talasol's shareholders, including the Company (51%), in the aggregate amount of approximately €30 million and is expected to substantially increase the dividend paid by Talasol to its shareholders on an annual basis;
  • Financial closing and commencement of construction of the Manara PSP, with the tunneling construction works advancing as planned;
  • Constructing the Ellomay Solar PV project in Spain (28 MW) and reaching the final construction stage (the project's connection to the national grid is currently underway);
  • Developing a scope of 439 MW licenses for PV projects in Italy under advanced development, of which approximately 120 MW received licenses as of this date. The construction of the first project (20 MW) commenced during 2022 and works will commence on another adjacent project (15 MW) shortly;
  • Locating properties in Israel for the construction of the PV + storage projects of 40MW PV + 80MW/h batteries (the first tender is in advanced stages); and
  • Continued operational improvements in our biogas facilities in the Netherlands, including a 20% improvement in output in the Gelderland Biogas Plant.

The financing expenses for the year included non-recurring expenses in connection with the refinancing of the Talasol project finance (in the aggregate amount of approximately €15.5 million) and changes in exchange rates (approximately €5.4 million), which are not cash items. The financing expenses of the Company excluding these expenses were approximately €8 million.

Main financial metrics, in line with the Company's projections:

  • Non-IFRS Revenues approximately €51.2 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA approximately €25.5 million.
  • Adjusted FFO approximately €18.5 million.
  • Cash flow from operating activities approximately €15.2 million."

Please see the tables on page 12 of this press release for a reconciliation of this information.

Use of NON-IFRS Financial Measures

Non-IFRS Revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO are non-IFRS measures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before financial expenses, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization and Adjusted FFO is calculated by deducting tax expenses and interest expenses on bank loans, debentures and others from the Adjusted EBITDA. The Company uses the terms "Non-IFRS Revenues," "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Adjusted FFO" to highlight the fact that in the calculation of these Non-IFRS financial measures the Company presents the results of the Talmei Yosef PV Plant under the fixed asset model and not under IFRIC 12, presents its share in Dorad based on distributions of profit and not on the basis of equity gain using the equity method and includes the financial results of Talasol for the period prior to achievement of PAC that were not recognized in the profit and loss statement based on accounting rules. The Company presents these measures in order to enhance the understanding of the Company's operating performance and to enable comparability between periods. While the Company considers these non-IFRS measures to be important measures of comparative operating performance, these non-IFRS measures 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. These non-IFRS measures do not take into account the Company's commitments, including capital expenditures and restricted cash and, accordingly, are not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for discretionary uses. In addition, Adjusted FFO does not represent and is not an alternative to cash flow from operations as defined by IFRS and is not an indication of cash available to fund all cash flow needs, including the ability to make distributions. Not all companies calculate Non-IFRS Revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted FFO in the same manner, and the measures as presented may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. The Company's Non-IFRS Revenues, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO 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 these measures internally as performance measures and believes that when these measures are combined with IFRS measures they add useful information concerning the Company's operating performance. A reconciliation between results on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis is provided on page 12 of this press release.

6 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).

Information for the Company's Series C Debenture Holders.
