Ellomay Capital Ltd.
By: /s/ Ran Fridrich
Ran Fridrich Chief Executive Officer and Director
Dated: March 31, 2020

Tel-Aviv, Israel, March 31, 2020 – 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, 2019.
Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay commented: "2019 was marked with substantial accomplishments for Ellomay Capital. The Talasol project reached financial closing and we added two equity partners to the project that acquired 49% of the holdings at a premium. In addition, as of the today, construction is progressing according to the business plan. We acquired the minority holdings in the Netherlands biogas projects and as of today the results of such projects are in line with the business plan objectives. Further improvements are planned for implementation in the near future and we expect that these improvements will improve the results beyond the basic business plan.
The Company sold its yielding PV assets portfolio in Italy, generating a capital gain from the sale of approximately €19 million. We obtained long-term project financing for the PV yielding assets in Spain under good terms while generating value to such assets. We completed an early repayment of our Series A debentures (in the amount approximately NIS 80 million). In addition, the Company entered into agreements for the development of new PV projects in Italy and Spain of approximately 550 MW and as of today the development process is progressing as planned.
The year ended with a profit attributable to the Company's owners of approximately €12 million. Shareholders' equity attributed to Company owners increased by approximately €28 million. Such equity will enable the Company to enter the challenging period ahead in the best possible way. We are following the global events and the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and specifically on the Company's operations. We cannot at this point assess whether and how the Company's operations and assets will be impacted by the crisis."
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 historical financial 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 measures presented by other companies. The Company's EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. A reconciliation between results on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis is provided in the last table of this press release.
Ellomay is an Israeli based company whose shares are registered with the NYSE American and with the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "ELLO". Since 2009, Ellomay Capital focuses its business in the renewable energy and power sectors in Europe and Israel.
To date, Ellomay has evaluated numerous opportunities and invested significant funds in the renewable, clean energy and natural resources industries in Israel, Italy and Spain, including:
Ellomay Capital is controlled by Mr. Shlomo Nehama, Mr. Hemi Raphael and Mr. Ran Fridrich. Mr. Nehama is one of Israel's prominent businessmen and the former Chairman of Israel's leading bank, Bank Hapohalim, and Messrs. Raphael and Fridrich both have vast experience in financial and industrial businesses. These controlling shareholders, along with Ellomay's dedicated professional management, accumulated extensive experience in recognizing suitable business opportunities worldwide. Ellomay believes the expertise of Ellomay's controlling shareholders and management enables the Company to access the capital markets, as well as assemble global institutional investors and other potential partners. As a result, we believe Ellomay is capable of considering significant and complex transactions, beyond its immediate financial resources.

_____________________________
The Deed of Trust governing the Company's Series C Debentures 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 December 31, 2019, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Series C Deed of Trust as follows: (i) the Company's shareholders' equity was €107.6 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 consolidated shareholders' equity plus the Net Financial Debt was 38.2% and (iii) the ratio of the Company's Net Financial Debt to the Company's Adjusted EBITDA(1) was 2.5.
(1) 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 project, 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."
The following is a reconciliation between the Company's net profit (loss) and the Adjusted EBITDA for the four-quarter period ended December 31, 2019:
