TEL AVIV, Israel, March 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE MKT: ELLO; TASE: ELLO) ("Ellomay" or the "Company"), an emerging operator in the renewable energy and energy infrastructure sector, today reported its financial results for the year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016.
Financial Highlights
Ran Fridrich, CEO and a board member of Ellomay commented: "2016 was characterized by intensive project development activities, including the Manara pumped storage project, waste-to-energy projects in the Netherlands and other projects in the photovoltaic field in Israel and Europe. I expect that we will start to see the fruits of these efforts in 2017. We also continued the operational improvements in our PV assets in Italy and Spain and creating a strong cash flow, which services all of our needs with excess cash flow of approximately $3 million. We raised capital under convenient terms and have the means required to implement the investment plan for the coming year."
Information for the Company's Debenture Holders
As of December 31, 2016, the Company's Net Financial Debt (as such term is defined in the Deeds of Trust of the Company's Debentures) was approximately $11.7 million (consisting of approximately $22.6 million of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations and approximately $35.5 million in connection with the Series A Debentures issuances (in January and September 2014), net of approximately $24.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities and net of approximately $21.8 million of project finance and related hedging transactions of the Company's subsidiaries). As the Company's Series B Debentures were issued after December 31, 2016, the Net Financial Debt information provided herein does not include the obligations in connection with the Series B Debentures.
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.
