Growing Capacity of Ellomay’s

Italian PV Market
The Italian government adopted the European most
common incentive scheme- Feed In Tariff (FiT). The
energy authority in Italy (GSE) pays a long-term
nominal rate per every kilo-watt hour that is
produced by a PV plant on top of the price of
electricity the PV plant receives on electricity that is
transferred to the grid .
FiT rate depends on:
• Connection date
• Size of the plant
• Location
• The FiT is guaranteed for 20 years, starting at
the connection date. *
Italy has high level of radiance in European terms
(1,200-1,600 kWh/kWp).
The most attractive regions are in the center and
south of Italy, where the radiance is the highest and
the regional regulation is less stringent.

Appendix A - EBITDA
• Use of NON-IFRS Financial Measures
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.
