 Appendix A – Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO  Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO are non-IFRS measures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before financial expenses, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization and FFO (funds from operations) is calculated by adding tax and financing expenses to EBITDA. The Company uses the terms “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted FFO” to highlight the fact that the Company presents the revenues from the Talmei Yosef PV plant under the fixed asset mode and not under IFRIC 12, presents its share in Dorad based on distributions of profit and not on the basis of equity gain using the equity method and deducts the profit from the sale of its Italian PV portfolio in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. The Company presents these measures in order to enhance the understanding of the Company’s operating performance and to enable comparability between periods. While the Company considers these non-IFRS measures to be important measures of comparative operating performance, these non-IFRS measures 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. These non-IFRS measures do not take into account our commitments, including capital expenditures and restricted cash and, accordingly, are not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for discretionary uses. In addition, Adjusted FFO does not represent and is not an alternative to cash flow from operations as defined by IFRS and is not an indication of cash available to fund all cash flow needs, including the ability to make distributions. Not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted FFO in the same manner, and the measures as presented may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. Our actual Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted FFO may not be indicative of our historic operating results; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. The Company uses these measures internally as performance measures and believes that when these measures are combined with IFRS measures they add useful information concerning the Company’s operating performance. A reconciliation between measures on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis is provided in this slide.  Use of NON-IFRS Financial Measures  Reconciliation of Net Income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA & Adjusted FFO (in € millions)     2020 (E)   2021 (E)  2022 (E)   2023 (E)  2024 (E)  Net income (loss) for the period, adjusted as set forth in the notes below  (1)  8-9  12+14  17-19  19-21  Interest on bank loans and others  3.8  10-11  11-12  14-15  14-15  Taxes on income  ~0  1  2  4  5-6  Depreciation  2.2  11-12  14-15  19-21  22-24  Adjusted EBITDA   5  30-33  39-43  54-59  60-66  Interest on bank loans and others  (3.8)  (10-11)  (11-12)  (14-15)  (14-15)  Taxes on income    (~0)  (1)  (2)  (4)  (5-6)  Adjusted FFO  1.2  19-21  26-29  36-40  41-45  The PV Plant located in Talmei Yosef, Israel is presented under the fixed asset model and not under the financial asset model as per IFRIC 12.

The Company presents these measures in order to enhance the understanding of the Company’s leverage ratios and borrowings. While the Company considers these measures to be an important measure of leverage, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for long-term borrowings or other balance sheet data prepared in accordance with IFRS as a measure of leverage.

 Appendix C – Biogas EBITDA and Adjusted FFO  EBITDA and Adjusted FFO are non-IFRS measures. EBITDA is defined as earnings before financial expenses, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization and FFO (funds from operations) is calculated by adding tax and financing expenses to EBITDA. The Company uses the term “Adjusted FFO” to highlight the fact that the financing expenses presented in the calculation of Adjusted FFO exclude interest on inter-company loans. The Company presents these measures in order to enhance the understanding of the Company’s bio gas operations and to enable comparability between periods. While the Company considers these non-IFRS measures to be important measures of comparative operating performance, these non-IFRS measures 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. These non-IFRS measures do not take into account our commitments, including capital expenditures and restricted cash and, accordingly, are not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for discretionary uses. In addition, Adjusted FFO does not represent and is not an alternative to cash flow from operations as defined by IFRS and is not an indication of cash available to fund all cash flow needs, including the ability to make distributions. Not all companies calculate EBITDA or Adjusted FFO in the same manner, and the measures as presented may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. The Company uses these measures internally as performance measures and believes that when these measures are combined with IFRS measures they add useful information concerning the Company’s operating performance.
