Ellomay Capital Reports Publication of Financial Statements of Dorad Energy Ltd. as of and for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

Rhea-AI Summary

Ellomay Capital (NYSE: ELLO) reported the Q1 2025 financial results of Dorad Energy Ltd., in which it holds a 9.4% indirect stake through its 50% ownership of Ellomay Luzon Energy. Dorad's Q1 2025 performance showed revenues of NIS 610.6 million and an operating profit of NIS 76.9 million. The company's electricity demand follows seasonal patterns, with higher consumption during winter (December-February) and summer (June-September) compared to intermediate seasons. The results, covering winter months January-February and intermediate month March, may not be indicative of full-year performance due to seasonal variations in electricity demand and TAOZ tariffs, which are generally higher during summer months. The company noted that future quarterly results may vary due to factors including the impact of Israeli CPI increases on Dorad's credit facility interest payments.

Positive

• Operating profit of NIS 76.9 million in Q1 2025
• Strong quarterly revenue of NIS 610.6 million
• Stable business model with predictable seasonal demand patterns

Negative

• Results may not be indicative of future quarters due to CPI impact on interest payments
• Seasonal fluctuations affect revenue predictability
• Limited ownership stake of only 9.4% indirect holding in Dorad

Insights

Financial Analyst

Dorad Energy's Q1 2025 financial results show moderate profitability with NIS 610.6M revenue and NIS 76.9M operating profit, representing 12.6% operating margin.

Analyzing Dorad Energy's quarterly report reveals a company generating substantial revenue of NIS 610.6 million with an operating profit of NIS 76.9 million for Q1 2025. This translates to an operating margin of 12.6%, which is reasonable for the energy generation sector, particularly during a quarter that includes both winter (typically higher-demand) and intermediate season months.

The company's performance shows it's successfully monetizing electricity demand, though the report specifically cautions that these results aren't indicative of full-year performance due to Israel's seasonal electricity consumption patterns. The winter months (December-February) featured in this quarter typically show higher electricity demand due to heating needs, while March (an intermediate month) would typically see lower demand.

Importantly, Dorad's revenue structure is tied to Israel's time-of-use electricity tariffs (TAOZ), which vary by season and time of day. These tariffs are generally higher during summer months than winter or intermediate seasons, suggesting potential for stronger margins in upcoming summer quarters.

A concerning factor is the mention of interest payment pressures from rising Israeli CPI, which impacts Dorad's credit facility costs. This inflationary pressure on debt servicing could compress future profitability if it continues, presenting a potential headwind for Ellomay's investment returns from its 9.4% indirect stake in Dorad.

TEL-AVIV, Israel, May 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 USA, today reported the publication in Israel of financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of Dorad Energy Ltd. (“Dorad”), in which Ellomay currently indirectly holds approximately 9.4% through its indirect 50% ownership of Ellomay Luzon Energy Infrastructures Ltd. (formerly U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd.) (“Ellomay Luzon Energy”).

On May 29, 2025, Amos Luzon Entrepreneurship and Energy Group Ltd. (the “Luzon Group”), an Israeli public company that currently holds the remaining 50% of Ellomay Luzon 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 statements of Dorad as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. Ellomay will include its indirect share of these results (through its holdings in Ellomay Luzon Energy) in its financial results for this period. 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 to English of Dorad’s financial results.

Dorad Financial Highlights

• Dorad’s revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 – approximately NIS 610.6 million.
• Dorad’s operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 – approximately NIS 76.9 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: summer – June-September; winter – December-February; and intermediate (spring and autumn) – March-May and October-November. There is a higher demand for electricity during the winter and summer seasons, and the average electricity consumption 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 March 31, 2025, which include winter months of January and February and the intermediate month of March, are not indicative of full year results. In addition, due to various reasons, including the effects of the increase in the Israeli CPI impacting interest payments by Dorad on its credit facility, the results included herein may not be indicative of first quarter results in the future or comparable to first quarter results in the past.

A convenience translation of the financial results for Dorad as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and as of and for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 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 Luzon Group, Ellomay Luzon Energy or Dorad with respect to the financial results included in this press release.
