Tel-Aviv, Israel, June 22, 2015 – Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE MKT: ELLO; TASE: ELOM) (“Ellomay”or the “Company”) an emerging operator in the renewable energy and energy infrastructure sector, todayreported its unaudited financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2015.

•  Excluding unfavorable currency effects, revenues were up approximately 19% to approximately €2.5 million from approximately €2.1 million in the same quarter last year.

•  The change in revenues is mainly a result of an increase in revenues due to the acquisition of three photovoltaic plants in Murcia, Spain (the “Murcia PV Plants”) on July 1, 2014 (approximately €0.5 million), partially offset by the decrease of an approximate 8% in the Feed-in-Tariff (“FiT”) guaranteed to existing photovoltaic plants in Italy over the remaining FiT period (originally 20 years commencing with the connection to the Italian national grid) commencing January 1, 2015 (approximately €0.1 million).

•  The decrease in the amount of reported revenues is due to the presentation of results in U.S. dollar and the devaluation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar during the quarter.

•  Operating expenses were approximately $0.7 million (approximately €0.6 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to approximately $0.6 million (approximately €0.5 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Depreciation expenses were approximately $1.2 million (approximately €1.1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to approximately $1.3 million (approximately €1 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2014. These changes resulted from an increase due to the operations of the Murcia PV Plants acquired on July 1, 2014, partially offset by the devaluation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar.

• General and administrative expenses were approximately $1 million or the three months ended March31, 2015, compared to approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

•  Company’s share of income of investee accounted for at equity, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to losses of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase is due to the commencement of the commercial operations of the power plant owned by Dorad Energy Ltd. (“Dorad”) in May 2014. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 reflect the Company’s indirect interest in Dorad as of March 31, 2015 (7.5%), prior to the increase in the Company’s indirect holdings in Dorad to approximately 9.2%, consummated in May 2015.

The change was mainly due to presentation currency translation adjustments as a result of fluctuations in the Euro/USD exchange rates. Such loss is a result of the devaluation in the Euro against the U.S. Dollar of approximately 11.6%.

•  Total comprehensive loss was approximately $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to approximately $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.• In May 2015, the Company announced the approval by the Company’s Board of Directors of the repurchase of up to $3 million of its ordinary shares.

This quarter presents for the first time the impact of the reduction of the subsidies in Italy, with an aggregate decrease in the revenues of approximately €100,000.

However, despite this decrease and the devaluation of the Euro against the US dollar, the Company succeeded  in presenting stability in the revenue line. We continue to examine significant projects in Israel and around the world, along with the development and improvement of our existing projects.”
