Ellomay Capital Ltd.
By: /s/ Kalia Weintraub
Kalia Weintraub Chief Financial Officer
Dated: November 28, 2017

Tel-Aviv, Israel, November 28, 2017 – Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American; TASE: ELLO) ("Ellomay" or the "Company"), an emerging operator in the renewable energy and energy infrastructure sector, today reported the publication in Israel of financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of Dorad Energy Ltd. ("Dorad"), in which Ellomay currently indirectly holds approximately 9.4%.
On November 27, 2017, Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd. (f/k/a U. Dori Group Ltd.) (the "Luzon Group"), an Israeli public company that currently holds 50% of U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd. ("Dori Energy"), which, in turn, holds 18.75% of Dorad, published its quarterly report in Israel based on the requirements of the Israeli Securities Law, 1968. Based on applicable regulatory requirements, the quarterly report of the Luzon Group includes the financial statements of Dorad for the same period.
The financial results of Dorad for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Ellomay will include its indirect share of these results (through its holdings in Dori Energy) in its financial results for this period, which are currently expected to be published on or about December 20, 2017. In an effort to provide Ellomay's shareholders with access to Dorad's financial results (which were published in Hebrew), Ellomay hereby provides a convenience translation of Dorad's financial results.
Dorad's unaudited revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 - approximately NIS 716.2 million (or approximately USD 202.9 million, based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2017).
Dorad's unaudited operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 - approximately NIS 135.4 million (or approximately USD 38.4 million, based on the exchange rate on September 30, 2017).
Based on the information provided by Dorad, the demand for electricity by Dorad's customers is seasonal and is affected by, inter alia, the climate prevailing in that season. The months of the year are split into three seasons as follows: the summer season – the months of July and August; the winter season - the months of December, January and February; and intermediate seasons – (spring and autumn), the months from March to June and from September to November. There is a higher hourly demand for electricity during the winter and summer seasons, and the average electricity consumption per hour is higher in these seasons than in the intermediate seasons and is even characterized by peak demands due to extreme climate conditions of heat or cold. In addition, Dorad's revenues are affected by the change in load and time tariffs - TAOZ (an electricity tariff that varies across seasons and across the day in accordance with demand hour clusters), as, on average, TAOZ tariffs are higher in the summer season than in the intermediate and winter seasons. Therefore, the results presented for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, which include the summer months of July and August and the intermediate month of September, are not indicative of full year results.
A translation of the financial results for Dorad as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016 and as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2017 is included at the end of this press release. Ellomay does not undertake to separately report Dorad's financial results in a press release in the future. Neither Ellomay nor its independent public accountants have reviewed or consulted with the Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd., Dori Energy or Dorad with respect to the financial results included in this press release.
On October 1, 2017, Eilat Ashkelon Infrastructure Services Ltd. ("EAIS"), which holds 37.5% of Dorad's shares, filed a statement of claim in the arbitration proceedings held in connection with the petition to approve a derivative claim (the "Claim") filed by Dori Energy and Hemi Raphael against the other two shareholders of Dorad, Zorlu Enerji Elektrik Uretim A.S and Edelcom Ltd. ("Edelcom") and several other plaintiffs, in connection with the engineering, procurement & construction contractor of the power plant held by Dorad. In its statement of claim, EAIS joins Dori Energy's and Mr. Raphael's request as set forth in the Claim and raises claims that are similar to the claims raised by Dori Energy and Mr. Raphael in the Claim. Following EAIS's filing, the arbitrator determined the dates for filing responses on behalf of the plaintiffs and determined dates for the final preliminary hearing (scheduled for January 1, 2018) and for the discovery process.
On October 26, 2017, Edelcom filed an appeal with respect to the ruling of the Israeli District Court issued on August 31, 2017, in which the Court ruled that a pledge on Dori Energy's shares held by the Luzon Group (as contemplated by the Luzon Group in its prospectus governing the debentures issued by the Luzon Group in Israel) does not provide a right of first refusal to Dorad's other shareholders.
As reported in Dorad's financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, on October 30, 2017, Dorad signed an agreement with Energian Israel Ltd. regarding the possible acquisition of natural gas from the Karish and Tanin reserves held by it (which are expected to complete construction by the end of 2020), to purchase natural gas in a cumulative volume of approximately 6 BCM over a period of 14 years. The agreement between Dorad and Energian Israel Ltd. is subject to conditions precedent.
