In the news release, Ellomay Capital Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year of 2020, issued 31-Mar-2021 by Ellomay Capital Ltd over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that there were a few errors in their tables as originally issued inadvertently. The complete, corrected release follows:
TEL AVIV, Israel, April 1, 2021 /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 its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.
Financial Highlights
Shlomo Nehama, Chairmen of the Board of Ellomay, commented: "Ellomay Capital operates in one of the developing sectors around the world in the renewable energy field, a market that is expanding and growing.
Ellomay Capital raised funds during the year through issuances of equity and debt in order to expand its operations. In addition, Ellomay Capital has made tremendous advancements during this year, primarily the completion of construction and the commercial operation of the Talasol project that has an installed capacity of 300 MW and that is a large project in a European scale, positioning Ellomay as a leading developer in the renewable energy field. In addition, after a lengthy effort of several years, the Company succeeded in reaching the financial closing and receiving regulatory approval for the construction of the pumped storage project in the Manara Cliff, Israel, which is a central project in the future electricity plans of the State of Israel. In addition to these projects the Company succeeded in advancing and materially improving the operational efficiency of its Biogas projects in the Netherlands. The results of such achievements will be evident in the next year and over the coming years.
I would like to thank Ellomay's professional team, led by Ran Fridrich, for all their hard work and efforts and for, in spite of the objective difficulties of the Covid-19 pandemic, succeeded in advancing these two significant projects."
Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay, further commented: "2020 was a challenging transition year for Ellomay Capital. The portfolio of photovoltaic projects in Italy, which was based on governmental subsidies, was sold at the end of 2019 for a substantial capital gain. This portfolio provided annual revenues of approximately €9 million, which were not part of the Company's revenues for 2020.
2020 was a year in which new significant projects were built or purchased (the Talasol project in Spain and a biogas project in the Netherlands) and their contribution to the Company's revenues and income will only become part of the Company's results during 2021.
In parallel to the construction of the Talasol project, the Company concluded the financial closing of the pumped storage project "Manara Cliff" and the development of the smaller photovoltaic project in Talasol (28 MW), which has already commenced the construction phase, and reached substantial advancements in the development of the pipeline of new Italian photovoltaic projects, with 90 MW expected to receive a construction permit during 2021. The operational improvements of the Netherlands' biogas plants continued and a new biogas plant that was acquired in December 2020 was successfully added to the operations.
A delay of approximately a quarter in the connection with the Talasol plant to the electricity grid that according to the Spanish grid company was due to Covid-19 implications caused a deviation of approximately €5 million from the projected revenues for 2020. The Company's projections for 2021 are based mainly on the operating assets (approximately 85% of the projections) and only a small portion is based on assets that are expected to be built during 2021.
The Company is developing a large pipeline of photovoltaic projects in Spain and Italy, all self-developed from the initial stages, and a large portion of them (over 400 MW) are in advanced development stages and are expected to be built during the next two and a half years. In addition, the Company is advancing the process of obtaining building permits for the PV plus storage projects in Israel that the Company won in the first storage tender in Israel.
As noted, 2020 was a challenging year but the Company met all of its goals mainly due to the dedication and high abilities of each one of its employees."
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 historical financial 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 measures presented by other companies. The Company's EBITDA may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. A reconciliation between results on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis is provided in the last table of this press release.

Information for the Company's Debenture Holders
Pursuant to the Deeds of Trust governing the Company's Series C and Series D Debentures (together, the "Debentures"), the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants. For more information, see Item 5.B of the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2020 and below.
Net Financial Debt
As of December 31, 2020, the Company's Net Financial Debt (as such term is defined in the Deeds of Trust of the Company's Debentures) was approximately €6.2 million (consisting of approximately €207.9 million of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations and approximately €82.7 million in connection with the Series C Debentures issuances (in July 2019 and October 2020), net of approximately €76.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and marketable securities and net of approximately €207.7 million* of project finance and related hedging transactions of the Company's subsidiaries).
_____________________________* The project finance amount deducted from the calculation of Net Financial Debt includes project finance obtained from various sources, including financing entities and the minority shareholders in project companies held by the Company (provided in the form of shareholders' loans to the project companies).
Information for the Company's Series C Debenture HoldersThe Deed of Trust governing the Company's Series C Debentures includes an undertaking by the Company to maintain certain financial covenants, whereby a breach of such financial covenants for two consecutive quarters is a cause for immediate repayment. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Series C Deed of Trust as follows: (i) the Company's shareholders' equity was approximately €127.7 million and (ii) the ratio of the Company's Net Financial Debt (as set forth above) to the Company's CAP, Net (defined as the Company's consolidated shareholders' equity plus the Net Financial Debt) was 4.7% and (iii) the ratio of the Company's Net Financial Debt to the Company's Adjusted EBITDA(1) was 1.8.
______________________________________________(1) The term "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined in the Series C Deed of Trust as earnings before financial expenses, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization, where the revenues from the Company's operations, such as the Talmei Yosef project, are calculated based on the fixed asset model and not based on the financial asset model (IFRIC 12), and before share-based payments. The Series C Deed of Trust provides that for purposes of the financial covenant, the Adjusted EBITDA will be calculated based on the four preceding quarters, in the aggregate. The Adjusted EBITDA is presented in this press release as part of the Company's undertakings towards the holders of its Series C Debentures. For a general discussion of the use of non-IFRS measures, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA see above under "Use of NON-IFRS Financial Measures."
The following is a reconciliation between the Company's profit (loss) and the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Series C Deed of Trust) for the four-quarter period ended December 31, 2020:

Information for the Company's Series D Debenture Holders
The Deed of Trust governing the Company's Series D Debentures includes an undertaking by the Company to maintain certain financial covenants, whereby a breach of such financial covenants for the periods set forth in the Series D Deed of Trust is a cause for immediate repayment. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Series D Deed of Trust as follows: (i) the Company's Adjusted Shareholders' Equity (as defined in the Series D Deed of Trust) was approximately €117.5 million and (ii) the ratio of the Company's Net Financial Debt (as set forth above) to the Company's CAP, Net (defined as the Company's consolidated shareholders' equity plus the Net Financial Debt) was 5.1% and (iii) the ratio of the Company's Net Financial Debt to the Company's Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Series D Deed of Trust(1)) was 1.6.
______________________________________________(1) The term "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined in the Series D Deed of Trust as earnings before financial expenses, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization, where the revenues from the Company's operations, such as the Talmei Yosef project, are calculated based on the fixed asset model and not based on the financial asset model (IFRIC 12), and before share-based payments, when the data of assets or projects whose Commercial Operation Date (as such term is defined in the Series D Deed of Trust) occurred in the four quarters that preceded the relevant date will be calculated based on Annual Gross Up (as such term is defined in the Series D Deed of Trust). The Series D Deed of Trust provides that for purposes of the financial covenant, the Adjusted EBITDA will be calculated based on the four preceding quarters, in the aggregate. The Adjusted EBITDA is presented in this press release as part of the Company's undertakings towards the holders of its Series D Debentures.
