Financial Highlights

·
Revenues were approximately $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to approximately $13 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating expenses were approximately $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to approximately $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Depreciation expenses were approximately $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to approximately $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. These increases resulted from the operations of our Spanish PV plants acquired on July 1, 2014 and the Italian PV plants acquired on June 26, 2013, all of which were not included in our results prior to their acquisition, slightly offset by relatively low radiation levels during the year ended December 31, 2014, the implementation of a new remuneration scheme in Spain adopted in 2014 effective from July 1, 2013 and a decrease in market prices of electricity in Italy.
 
·
Following the approval by the Italian parliament in August 2014 and the conversion into law of the Italian decree, executed by the Italian President in June 2014, providing for a decrease in the Feed-in-Tariff (“FiT”) guaranteed to existing photovoltaic plants with installed capacity of more than 200 kW, the Company elected the option that will entail an approximate 8% reduction in the incentive over the remaining FiT period (originally 20 years starting the connection to the grid) commencing January 1, 2015 with respect to all of its Italian photovoltaic plants. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company reexamined the impairment charges of approximately $0.6 million recorded in connection with this new legislation, and determined to reverse the impairment charges due to changes in market terms that resulted in a decreased discount rate.
 
·
Gain on bargain purchase was approximately $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. In July 2014, the Company consummated the acquisition of three photovoltaic (solar) plants with an aggregate capacity of approximately 5.6MWp (the “Murcia PV Plants”). The Murcia PV Plants are ground mounted fixed technology plants located in Murcia, Spain, are already constructed and operating and were connected to the Spanish national grid in 2011. The Murcia PV Plants were acquired from a Spanish company whose German parent company has entered into insolvency proceedings. The Murcia PV Plants and all associated assets and rights were purchased by the Company for an aggregate purchase price of approximately Euro 9.7 million (approximately $13.3 million).The Company’s results for the year ended December 31, 2014 do not include the results of the Murcia PV Plants for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as the closing date of the acquisition of the Murcia PV Plants was July 17, 2014.
 
 
 

 
 
The Company performed a preliminary analysis of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and a preliminary and provisional purchase price allocation and recorded gain on bargain purchase (negative goodwill) in the amount of approximately $4 million based upon management’s best estimate of the value as a result of such preliminary analysis. Negative goodwill represents the excess of the Company’s share in the fair value of acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of an acquisition. The provisional amounts recognized may be adjusted during the 12 month period following the acquisition in accordance with IFRS 3 as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information on the fair value of assets and liabilities becomes available. Therefore, actual amounts recorded upon the finalization of the valuation may differ materially from the information presented in this release.
 
·
General and administrative expenses were approximately $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to approximately $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 included expenses in the amount of approximately $0.2 million in connection with the payment of bonuses to employees and aggregate expenses in the amount of approximately $0.7 million in connection with a pumped storage project in the Manara Cliff in Israel, a pre-bid agreement executed with respect to a joint offer to acquire participating interests in two exploration and drilling licenses off-shore Israel (Karish Tanin) and other due diligence and transaction expenses. The general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 included consultancy fees in connection with the transactions negotiated during 2013 of approximately $0.6 million, including the acquisition of the Veneto PV Plants and the loan agreement with Israel Discount Bank Ltd, offset  by proceeds received in connection with the enforcement of a bond received from a contractor of four of our photovoltaic plants that has entered into insolvency proceedings, in the amount of approximately $0.6 million.
 
·
Financing expenses, net were approximately $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to approximately $2.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2013.The increase in financial expenses, net was mainly due to approximately $1 million of expenses in connection with the repayment of a loan by a wholly-owned Italian subsidiary of the Company and termination of related swap contract and interest payment and expenses due on and in connection with our Series A Debentures.
 
·
Company’s share of income of investee accounted for at equity was approximately $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as the power plant operated by Dorad Energy, Ltd. (“Dorad”) successfully commenced commercial operations in May 2014.
 
·
Net income was approximately $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to approximately $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.
 
·
Total other comprehensive loss was approximately $12.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to other comprehensive income of approximately $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, mainly due to presentation currency translation adjustments as a result of fluctuations in the Euro/USD exchange rates.
 
·
Adjusted EBITDA was approximately $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to approximately $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
·
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.
 
·
As of February 28, 2015, the Company held approximately $13.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $5 million in short-term deposits, approximately $5 million in marketable securities and approximately $4 million in restricted cash.
 
 
 

 

Dividend Distribution Policy
 
The Company’s Board of Directors adopted a dividend distribution policy (the “Policy”) pursuant to which the Company intends to distribute a dividend of up to 33% of our annual distributable profits each year, either by way of a cash dividend, a share buyback program or a combination of both. Dividend payments pursuant to the Policy are not guaranteed and are subject to the specific approval of our Board of Directors, based on various factors they deem appropriate including, among others, our financial position, our outstanding liabilities and contractual obligations, prospective acquisitions, our business plan and the market conditions. Our Board of Directors may, subject to the circumstances and conditions stated above, declare additional dividend distributions, change the rate of a specific distribution or cancel a distribution (either as a revision to the Policy or on a more temporary basis). In addition, our Board of Directors may, in its absolute discretion and at any time, revise, update or terminate the Policy.
 
Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay commented: “The Company today reports a new dividend distribution policy approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company will act to distribute dividends in a manner that will preserve its ability to invest in new projects and repay its liabilities and subject to the provisions of applicable law, relevant contractual undertakings and the approval of the Company’s Board for the distributions. During the fourth quarter we invested substantial efforts in the continued development of the pumped-hydro storage project in the Manara Cliff, Israel and entered into forward transactions in order to limit the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Company's balance sheet. In addition, the Company is examining a wide variety of projects, in various energy field and in a number of geographic areas.”
 
Information for the Company’s Series A Debenture Holders
 
As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s Net Financial Debt (as such term is defined in the Series A Debentures Deed of Trust) was approximately $21.5 million (consisting of approximately $14.2 million of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations and approximately $44.9 million in connection with the Series A Debentures issuances (in January and June 2014), net of approximately $27.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits and marketable securities and net of approximately $9.9 million of project finance and related hedging transactions of the Company’s subsidiaries).
 
Use of NON-IFRS Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before financial expenses, net, gain on bargain purchase, 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 Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, Adjusted 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. Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. The Company uses the term “Adjusted EBITDA” to highlight the fact that for for the years ended December 31, 2014 December 31, 2013 the Company deducted the gain on bargain purchase from the net income. The Adjusted EBITDA is otherwise fully comparable to EBITDA information which has been previously provided for prior periods. See the reconciliation between the net income (loss) and the Adjusted EBITDA presented at the end of this Press Release.

1) From PV Operations - These increases resulted from the operations of our Spanish PV plants acquired on July 1, 2014 and the Italian
 PV plants acquired on June 26, 2013, all of which were not included in our results prior to their acquisition, slightly offset by relatively
 low radiation levels during the year ended December 31, 2014, the implementation of a new remuneration scheme in Spain adopted in
 2014 effective from July 1, 2013 and a decrease in market prices of electricity in Italy
2) The gain in 2014 is associated with the acquisition of the three PV plants located in Murcia, Spain; The gain in 2013 is associated with the
 acquisition of the two PV plants located in the Veneto Region, Italy
3) Represent results associated with the Dorad Power Plant successfully commenced commercial operation in May 2014
4) Due to approximately $1 million expenses in connection with the repayment of a loan by a wholly-owned Italian subsidiary of the Company and
 termination of related swap contract and interest payment and expenses due on and in connection with our Series A Debentures

Italian PV Market
  The Italian government adopted the most common
 incentive scheme in Europe - the 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 .
  The FiT rate depends on:
  Connection date;
  Size of the plant; and
  Location
  The FiT is guaranteed for 20 years, starting at the
 connection date *
  Italy has high levels of radiance in European terms
 (1,200-1,600 kWh/kWp).
  The most attractive regions are central and southern
 Italy, where the radiance is the highest and the
 regional regulation is less stringent.

Appendix A - Adjusted EBIDTA
 Use of NON-IFRS Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before financial expenses, net, gain on bargain purchase,
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 Adjusted EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, Adjusted 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. Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be
predictive of potential future results. The Company uses the term “Adjusted EBITDA” to highlight the fact that for the years
ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 the Company deducted the gain on bargain purchase from the net income. The
Adjusted EBITDA is otherwise fully comparable to EBITDA information which has been previously provided for prior periods.

 Use of NON-IFRS Financial Measures
The Company defines Financial Debt as loans and borrowings plus debentures (current liabilities) plus finance lease obligations
plus long-term bank loans plus debentures (non-current liabilities), Financial Debt, Net as Financial Debt minus cash and
cash equivalent minus investments held for trading minus short-term deposits and CAP as equity plus Financial Debt. The
Company presents these measures in order to enhance the understanding of the Company’s leverage ratios and
borrowings. While the Company considers these measures to be an important measure of leverage, these measures should
not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for long-term borrowings or other balance sheet data prepared in
accordance with IFRS as a measure of leverage. Not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner, and the
measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. See the
calculation of these financial measures presented below.

Appendix D -
Israeli Rating for Series A Debentures
 
 On March 18, 2015, Standard & Poors Maalot Ltd. (“Maalot”) confirmed the rating of ilA-assigned to the Series A
 Debentures traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and reaffirmed the “Stable” outlook.
 In its rating report Maalot notes, among other things, as follows:
“Ellomay’s rating is underpinned by the relatively low degree of leverage at the project level and hence at the holding company’s
level; by few limitations on the distribution of excess cash from projects in the portfolio; and by an ‘adequate’ liquidity
profile, according to our definition, that is characterized by a flat debt amortization schedule.
On the other hand, Ellomay’s rating is restricted by a high concentration of held assets, given that the majority of income-
producing projects (about 51% of cash flows) are located in Italy, and due to the reliance most revenues from held projects
on tariffs set by regulators in countries with unstable regulatory environments.
The stable outlook reflects our assessment that the cash from the owned projects, together with the liquidity cushion, will be
resilient in the short term to potential changes in regulation in Italy and Spain, and to the uncertainty regarding the time and
magnitude of receipts from Dorad. We further believe that management will ensure debt coverage ratios commensurate
with the current rating, by implementing its investment plan.
…We believe that the stability of cash flows from the projects and our ability to forecast them is ‘moderate’, according to our
criteria. Our assessments are based largely on the quality of cash flows at the independent project level on the one hand,
and on the relatively low level of investment diversification on the other. According to our base-case scenario, in the period
2015-2019, about 51% of Ellomay’s cash flows will derive from projects in Italy, about 29% from Dorad, and about 20% from
projects in Spain. According to our forecast, about 71% of company cash flows will derive from PV plants, and the rest from
power stations powered by natural gas (Dorad).
…In accordance with our criteria, the level of liquidity of the company is `adequate`. We estimate the ratio between the sources of
cash flow to its uses to be greater than 1.4x in the period 2015-2016.
…In our base-case operating scenario, we considered investments known at the point of forecast and whose chance of execution is
relatively high. Nonetheless, Ellomay may carry out additional investments in 2015-2016, whose effect on the financial ratios
and liquidity profile will be assessed as they occur”.

Appendix D -
Israeli Rating for Series A Debentures
(cont.)
 
In its rating report Maalot notes, among other things, as follows (cont.):
“…The stable outlook reflects our assessment that cash flows from held projects, coupled with the liquidity cushion, will be
resilient, in the short term, to possible regulatory changes in Italy and Spain, and to some uncertainty regarding the timing and
scale of returns from the Dorad investment, and that the company’s management will maintain debt coverage ratios in line with
the current rating, by means of implementing its investment plan.
Downside Scenario
A deterioration in the company’s liquidity profile, resulting from a change in policy regarding its cash cushion or from aggressive
investments, is likely to precipitate a negative rating action. Also, an additional decline in expected cash flows from projects,
including returns from the Dorad investment, could lead to a negative rating action through a worsening of financial ratios.
Upside Scenario
A positive rating action would result if expected returns from Dorad materialize in line with the company’s expectations, while
maintaining the cash cushion, and provided the company continues to stand by its investment policy in and to repay its debt. In
this case, we expect an improvement in Ellomay’s financial profile that would lend itself to a positive rating action”.
