TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ellomay
Capital Ltd. (NYSE American: ELLO) (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 the
publication in Israel of financial
statements for the three months ended June
30, 2019 of Dorad Energy Ltd. ("Dorad"), in which
Ellomay currently indirectly holds approximately
9.4%.
On August 28, 2019, 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
June 30, 2019 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
September 24, 2019. 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 Financial Highlights
- Dorad's unaudited revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 2019 - approximately
NIS 591.5 million.
- Dorad's unaudited operating profit for the three months ended
June 30, 2019 - approximately
NIS 42.1 million.
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 June 30, 2019, which
include the intermediate months of April - June, are not indicative
of full year results.
A translation of the financial results for Dorad as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2018 and
as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2019 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.
In June 2019, Dorad made the final
repayment of shareholders loans in the aggregate amount of
NIS 19 million, of which Dori Energy
received approximately NIS 3.6
million (approximately $1
million).
In August 2019, the Israeli
Electricity Authority (the "Authority") published a proposed
resolution that is subject to a public hearing concerning an
amendment to the standards governing deviations from consumption
plans. These standards regulate the accounting mechanism in the
event the actual consumer consumption is different than the
consumption plan submitted by the electricity manufacturers (such
as Dorad), and include a mechanism protecting the manufacturers
from random deviations in actual consumption volumes. Based on the
Authority's publication, which includes a call for public comments
(the hearing process), the Authority is proposing to revoke the
current protections included in the aforementioned standards,
claiming that the manufacturers are misusing the protections and
regularly submit plans and forecasts that deviate from the actual
expected consumption, and also seeks to impose financial sanctions
on the manufacturers, which may be in material amounts upon the
occurrence of certain deviation events. Based on the Luzon Group's
publication, Dorad is examining the Authority's publication and the
potential implications on Dorad and its financial results, while
preparing to mitigate the implications of the proposed revisions
and to change the proposed revisions by presenting its position and
claims at the public hearing and by acting together with the
Israeli Private Electricity Manufacturers Forum.
