Ellomay Capital Reports Financial Position as at June 30, 2012 and ...

TEL-AVIV, Israel, Sept. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --?Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE MKT: ELLO) ("Ellomay" or the "Company"), today reported its unaudited financial results for the six month period ended June 30, 2012.

Financial Highlights

  • Revenues were approximately $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Cost of sales were approximately $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Depreciation expenses were approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. These increases resulted from operations of the Company's Italian photovoltaic plants that were connected to the national grid during the six months ended June 30, 2011.?
  • General and administrative expenses were approximately $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to approximately $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to cost efficiency and decreased due diligence related expenses resulting from the Company's enhanced knowledge and expertise in the Italian photovoltaic market and from a lower number of due diligence processes that did not mature into transactions.??
  • EBIDTA was approximately $2 million earning for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to approximately $0.6 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase resulted from operations of the Company's Italian photovoltaic plants that were connected to the national grid during the six months ended June 30, 2011.?
  • Financial expenses, net were approximately $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to approximately $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase in financial expenses was primarily attributable to the fair value measurement of swap contracts.
  • Share of losses of equity accounted investees was approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to approximately $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was due to the loss recorded by Dorad Energy Ltd. ("Dorad"), 18.75% held by U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd. ("Dori Energy"), which, in turn, is 40% indirectly held by the Company, as a result of the changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments, specifically forward transactions, used to hedge its foreign currency risk exposure to the U.S. dollar.
  • Taxes on income were approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to approximately $1.1 million tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2011.?The tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was primarily attributable to tax assessments that have reached their statute of limitation, thereby decreasing the amount of unrecognized tax benefit. Taxes on income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 resulted from increased operations of the Company's Italian photovoltaic plants.
  • Other comprehensive loss from foreign currency translation differences from foreign operations were approximately $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to approximately $2.5 million income for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the Company's operations in the Italian photovoltaic field and resulted from the devaluation of the Euro against the US dollar.
  • Total comprehensive loss was approximately $2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to total comprehensive loss of approximately $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011.
  • As of August 15, 2012, the Company held approximately $27.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $17 million in restricted cash and approximately $10 million in Short term deposits.
  • In July 2012, the Company, through its Spanish subsidiary (85% indirectly owned by the Company) closed the transaction to purchase the Rinconada II photovoltaic plant located in the Municipality of Cordoba, Andalusia, Spain, with a total nominal output of approximately 1.89 MWp and a peak power output of approximately 2.275 MWp.
  • Until June 30, 2012, we extended an additional aggregate amount of $3.7 million to Dori Energy in connection with Dorad's funding requirements from Dori Energy pursuant to the agreement between Dorad and its shareholders.
  • As of June 30, 2012, the Company repurchased an aggregate amount of 76,955 of its ordinary shares, for an aggregate consideration of $470,000 (excluding broker commissions). Due to Israeli regulatory considerations with respect to the funds available for share repurchases, the Company will not repurchase additional shares by December 31, 2012, the expiration date of the buyback program previously announced by the Company.

Use of NON-IFRS Financial Measures

EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before financial expenses, net, interest, 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.
