TEL-AVIV, Israel, Aug. 31, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2025 of Dorad Energy Ltd. (“Dorad“), in which Ellomay indirectly held, as of June 30, 2025, approximately 9.4% through its indirect 50% ownership of Ellomay Luzon Energy Infrastructures Ltd. (formerly U. Dori Energy Infrastructures Ltd.) (“Ellomay Luzon Energy“).

On August 31, 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, held 18.75% of Dorad as of June 30, 2025, 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 and six months ended June 30, 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.

On July 22, 2025, Ellomay Luzon Energy acquired an additional 15% of Dorad’s share capital as a result of its exercise of a right of first refusal granted to it under Dorad’s articles of association and shareholders’ agreement, and therefore the Company’s current indirect share of Dorad is approximately 16.9%.

Dorad Financial Highlights

  • Dorad’s revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 – approximately NIS 566.8 million.
  • Dorad’s operating profit for the three months ended June 30, 2025 – approximately NIS 56.9 million.

Dorad’s loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 mainly results from an increase of approximately NIS 72.7 million in financing expenses compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to NIS/USD exchange rate differences in connection with deposits denominated in USD. Certain of Dorad’s expenses (natural gas acquisition and maintenance costs) are also denominated in USD.

Dorad notes in its financial statements that on June 13, 2025, the State of Israel launched operation “Rising Lion” against Iran, as part of the Iron Swords war, for the purpose of removing the nuclear and missile threat against Israel. As a result of this operation, and in view of the high risk to lives and property from the ballistic missile attacks and unmanned aerial vehicles that were launched against Israel by Iran in response, strict restrictions were imposed on the Israeli home front that included, inter alia, restrictions on gatherings and restrictions on movement. In addition, as a result of closing the Israeli airspace, hundreds of thousands of Israelis were delayed in returning to Israel. As part of the restrictions on gatherings and movement, the Israeli economy began operating in a state of emergency whereby only essential businesses were allowed to open and the schools and higher education system shifted to online learning, two instructions that resulted in substantial damage to the Israeli economy. On June 24, 2025, an agreement was reached regarding a ceasefire, after which the Israeli economy resumed operating in full capacity. Dorad’s revenues in June 2025 decreased by approximately 22% compared to the same month in the previous year, including due to the military operation. As this is an event beyond Dorad’s control, and factors such as the continuation or cessation of the fighting may affect Dorad’s estimates, as of the date of approval of Dorad’s financial statements (August 14, 2025), Dorad was unable to assess the extent of the impact of the war and the operation on its business activities and results in the medium and long term. Dorad continues to monitor developments on the matter on an ongoing basis and is examining the implications for its operations and the value of its assets.

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 June 30, 2025, which include the intermediate months of April and May and the summer month of June, 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 second quarter results in the future or comparable to second 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 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.
