TEL-AVIV, Israel, Dec. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TEL-AVIV, Israel, Dec. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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, Israel and the USA, today reported its unaudited interim consolidated financial results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025.

Financial Highlights

Financial Overview for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025

CEO Review for the First Nine Months of 2025

In the first nine months, the Company’s revenues amounted to approximately €32.9 million, an increase of approximately 3% in revenues compared to the corresponding period last year. Cash provided by operating activities was approximately €8.5 million in the first nine months compared to approximately €5.5 million in the corresponding period last year. The EBITDA for the first nine months of 2025 was approximately €28.2 million, compared to approximately €17.6 million in the corresponding period last year.

In the first nine months of 2025, there was a significant advancement in the construction and connection to the grid of new projects, which are expected to contribute to a significant increase in the Company’s revenues during 2026.

In Italy – 38 MW solar (51% owned in partnership with Clal) are fully operating. The construction work on additional 160 MW solar (51% owned in partnership with Clal) has begun and construction is progressing as planned and is expected to finish by the end of 2026. The remainder of the portfolio developed by the Company (100% owned) is approximately 264 MW solar, of which 210 MW have reached Ready to Build status as of the date hereof and the rest are expected to receive permits in the near future. These 264 MW are scheduled to begin construction in the last quarter of 2026. The Company signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with a leading European entity for the operating projects with an aggregate capacity of 38 MW and the Company intends to continue to execute PPAs for the remainder of the portfolio.

In the USA – The construction of the first 4 projects (49 MW) has been completed, three of them were connected to the grid at the end of the first half of 2025 and the fourth project will be connected in the near future. The Company has begun construction of the Hillsboro project (14 MW solar + two hours of battery storage). The Company is examining the possibility of entering into the construction of two additional projects that will fall within the current tax benefit framework. The regulatory changes and the uncertainty regarding tariff rates do not allow the Company to provide a forecast beyond what has been said, but the assumption is that the Company will find a way to continue developing and increasing the portfolio in the near future.

In the Netherlands – the license to increase production at the GGOT facility was received. Licenses to increase production at the two additional facilities are in advanced stages. The new regulation for the obligation to blend green gas with fossil gas will commence according to the law in January 2027 (a delay of one year), but the targets for the first year have increased. Agreements have been signed for the sale of green certificates issued under the new regulation at a price of approximately €1 per certificate. The blending obligation is expected to significantly increase the profitability of operations in the Netherlands at current production capacity. The expected increase in production capacity from 16 million cubic meters of gas per year to around 24 million cubic meters of gas per year is expected to add significantly beyond that.

In Israel – the Company is in negotiations with the Israeli Electricity Authority for compensation for delays and war damage to the Manara project. Ellomay Luzon (50% owned) exercised its right of refusal in connection with the Zorlu-Phoenix transaction for the sale of Dorad’s shares and acquired an additional 15% of Dorad’s shares so that its holdings in Dorad are currently 33.75%. Dorad notified of the approval of its board of directors to advance to financial closing of Dorad 2 and the intention is to try to reach financial closing by June 30, 2026.

Dorad finished the third quarter with a profit of approximately NIS 118.4 million, despite a decline of approximately 10% in the USD exchange rate, which caused an accounting expense during the period of approximately NIS 69 million on Dorad’s USD deposits. Dorad has future expenses in USD (gas purchases, operation and maintenance payments, construction of Dorad 2) that constitute a natural hedge for the USD deposits. Dorad is actively advancing the establishment of the Dorad 2 project (an expansion of the existing power station using an H-type turbine with a generation capacity of approximately 700 MWh).

In Spain – The Company’s development activity in Spain focuses on energy storage in batteries, whereby the process for obtaining license for Ellomay Solar (28 MWp for two hours of battery storage) is in advanced stages and is expected to be received in the coming months. In addition, the Company is advancing a battery storage project for Talasol (120 MWp). The high volatility in electricity prices in Spain stems from an excess of renewable energy during the transition seasons and causes damage to the stability of the grid. In the Company’s assessment, the solution is a significant increase in storage capacity, which is currently at very low levels in Spain.

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 operating 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 measure presented by other companies. The Company’s EBITDA may not be indicative of the Company’s historic operating results; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. The Company uses this measure internally as performance measure and believes that when this measure is combined with IFRS measure it add useful information concerning the Company’s operating performance. A reconciliation between results on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis is provided on page 14 of this press release.
