TEL-AVIV, Israel, March 31, 2026 (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 year ended December 31, 2025 of Dorad Energy Ltd. ("Dorad"), in which Ellomay currently indirectly holds approximately 16.9% through its indirect 50% ownership of Ellomay Luzon Energy Infrastructures Ltd. ("Ellomay Luzon Energy").
On March 31, 2026, 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 33.75% of Dorad, published its annual report in Israel based on the requirements of the Israeli Securities Law, 1968. Based on applicable regulatory requirements, the annual 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 year ended December 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 and financial statements 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 of Dorad's financial results.
Dorad Financial Highlights
-- Dorad's revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 -- approximately
NIS 2,650.5 million.
-- Dorad's operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2025 --
approximately NIS 385.4 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. Due to various reasons, including the effects of the war between Iran and Israel and of a refinancing of Dorad's debt, the results included herein may not be indicative of full year results in the future or comparable to full year results in the past.
The financial statements of Dorad include a note concerning the war situation in Israel, which commenced on October 7, 2023, noting that on June 13, 2025, the war significantly expanded to an additional front, when the State of Israel entered a direct confrontation with Iran (the "Operation"), as a result of which the State of Israel declared a special state of emergency on the home front and the closure of the airspace. This confrontation further intensified the implications of the war on the activities of many companies in the economy. As a result of the Operation, Dorad's revenues in June 2025 decreased by approximately 22% compared to June of the previous year. The operation ended on June 24, 2025, with a ceasefire agreement, and the economy returned to full activity. In addition, in October 2025, a ceasefire was reached between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. On February 28, 2026, a war broke between the US and Israel and Iran and at this stage it is too early to determine the impact, if any, on Dorad's results. Dorad continues to regularly monitor the developments and is examining the effects on its operations and the value of its assets.
A convenience translation to English of the financial results for Dorad as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for each of the three years ended December 31, 2025 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.
