Ellomay Capital Reports Publication of Financial Statements of Dorad Energy Ltd. as of and for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025

TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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 November 30, 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, holds 33.75% of Dorad, 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 nine months ended September 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 of Dorad’s financial results.

Dorad Financial Highlights

  • Dorad’s revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 – approximately NIS 919.1 million.
  • Dorad’s operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 – approximately NIS 205.8 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. Therefore, the results presented for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, which include the summer months of July-September, 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 and regulatory changes, the results included herein may not be indicative of third quarter results in the future or comparable to third 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 nine month periods ended September 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.

Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Chicago, USA – At RSNA 2025, Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced the launch of Verida, the world’s first detector-based spectral CT fully powered by AI. This marks a transformative milestone in CT, with AI optimizing the entire imaging chain – lowering system noise, elevating image quality, and accelerating clinical workflow.

With over 800 global installations and supported by over 800 peer-reviewed publications, Philips’ spectral CT uses PACS-native delivery and has been fully embedded into clinical workflow. Spectral CT measures how tissues absorb different x-ray energy levels, enabling differentiation of materials that appear identical on conventional CT. Philips has pioneered detector-based spectral CT, delivering multiple spectral results from a single scan with no tradeoffs in performance or scan time.

Now, by integrating AI across the imaging chain, from acquisition to reconstruction, Philips Verida generates industry-leading, superior spectral image quality with minimal noise, in addition to high-definition conventional images. With its full AI capabilities, Verida can achieve dramatic dose reduction [5] without compromising image quality and reduce energy consumption by up to 45% [6].

“The clinical benefits of Verida will fundamentally change my approach to cardiac imaging,” said Prof. Eliseo Vañó Galván, cardiovascular radiologist, Chairman of the CT & MR Department at Hospital Nuestra. Sra. Del Rosario, Madrid, Spain. “With more comprehensive insights in every cardiac CT, I plan to make spectral imaging routine for all patients – building toward a fully spectral CT department. We evaluated many systems, including photon-counting CT, but chose Philips because it delivers the precision we need in a streamlined, easy-to-use platform. The result is greater diagnostic confidence and the potential to reduce the need for invasive angiograms – not just in cardiology, but across other clinical areas as well [7].”

Verida reconstructs 145 images per second, so entire exams automatically appear in less than 30 seconds – 2× faster than before and enabling up to 270 exams every day [8]. Building on Philips’ proprietary Spectral Precise Image technology – a deep learning AI reconstruction engine combined with advanced spectral imaging – and its third-generation Nano-panel Precise dual-layer detector with intrinsic noise reduction optimized for AI, Verida is designed to deliver faster, more dose-efficient spectral reconstructions. This enables clinicians to access rich spectral information from a single scan.

“Combining the latest advances in our proven spectral CT technology with AI, our flagship Verida CT system is designed to set a new standard in superior image quality and accelerated scans which are fully embedded in the radiology workflow, all to help clinicians detect and characterize disease earlier, reduce variability in diagnoses, and support efficient treatment pathways – in a single scan,” said Dan Xu, Business Leader of CT at Philips. “While photon-counting CT adds complexity, is yet to move from the research arena into clinical practice, Philips spectral CT has been a clinical workhorse for more than a decade and delivers comparable or better clinical outcomes, standing up to the most demanding throughput and at significantly lower total cost of ownership”.

Verida extends Philips’ software-defined CT approach, pairing AI-driven spectral precision to advance both clinical and operational outcomes. Built for high-demand environments, it streamlines workflows, reduces repeat scans, and delivers consistently sharp imaging across all care pathways.

Philips is debuting Verida at RSNA 2025, with availability in select markets beginning in 2026 [9].

U.S. Retail Traffic Was In-Line With Year-to-Date Trends on Black Friday, According to Sensormatic Solutions ShopperTrak Analytics

U.S. Retail Traffic Was In-Line With Year-to-Date Trends on Black Friday, According to Sensormatic Solutions ShopperTrak Analytics

  • In-store traffic was down 2.1% compared to 2024 Black Friday results, on par with 2025 results year-to-date (-2.2%).
  • Week of Black Friday (Nov. 23-28) traffic was up 56.7% compared to the week prior (Nov. 16-21).
  • Shopper traffic on Black Friday (Nov. 28) exceeded the previous Friday (Nov. 21) by 248.9%.

NEUHAUSEN, Switzerland–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sensormatic Solutions, the leading global retail solutions portfolio of Johnson Controls (NYSE: JCI), today shared its initial analysis of Black Friday in-store traffic for the 2025 U.S. holiday season. According to its ShopperTrak Analytics insights, which captures 40 billion store visits globally each year, retail visits on the annual shopping holiday were down slightly compared to 2024 (-2.1%), but shopper traffic was in-line with 2025 year-to-date (-2.2%). Compared to the previous Friday (Nov. 21), traffic on Nov. 28 was up 248.9%.

“Traffic has been steadily picking up throughout the second half of 2025, kicking off during the back-to-school season, and this week’s strong showing hints this trend is likely to continue throughout the rest of the holiday season,” said Grant Gustafson, head of retail consulting and analytics at Sensormatic Solutions. “Black Friday is still expected to be the busiest shopping day of the year as consumers prioritize leveraging peak discount days to purchase big-ticket items on their lists.”

ShopperTrak Analytics data also showed that early afternoon is still the most popular time for Black Friday browsing. As in years past, in-store traffic peaked between 2 and 4 p.m., with 3 p.m. marking the busiest hour for retailers.

The Season Ahead

Black Friday may be the predicted busiest day of the 2025 holiday shopping season in the U.S., but the retail rush is just getting started. According to Sensormatic Solutions predictions, the rest of the season’s busiest days are still on the horizon, with the peak expected to fall in the final few days leading up to Christmas. With this year’s holiday falling on a Thursday for the first time in over a decade, retailers may see a more sustained high-traffic period in the week preceding Dec. 25.

“This weekend truly marks the kickoff to a successful holiday season for retailers, and beyond that, a successful 2026 as well,” continued Gustafson. “According to ShopperTrak Analytics, in 2024, 77% of the retailers who outperformed in shopper traffic during the holiday season, continued to outperform into the first half of 2025. The momentum and loyalty gained by providing great shopping experiences this weekend can help retailers into the new year.”

Mastercard SpendingPulse: U.S. Black Friday Retail Sales Up +4.1% YOY as Holiday Momentum Builds

Mastercard SpendingPulse: U.S. Black Friday Retail Sales Up +4.1% YOY as Holiday Momentum Builds

Consumers scour for big deals and promotions, especially online as e-commerce sales grew +10.4% compared to 2024

PURCHASE, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
According to preliminary insights from Mastercard SpendingPulse™,U.S. retail sales excluding autos were up +4.1% on Black Friday, November 28 compared to Black Friday 2024. Mastercard SpendingPulse measures in-store and online retail sales, representing all payment types, and is not adjusted for inflation.

This year’s Black Friday tells a story of comfort, connection, and savvy shopping as consumers prepare for meaningful moments with family and friends. Spending growth on apparel was particularly strong both online and in-store, suggesting shoppers refreshed wardrobes while leaning into value-driven choices and convenience.

“Consumers are showing incredible savviness this season. They’re navigating an uncertain environment by shopping early, leveraging promotions, and investing in wish-list items,” said Michelle Meyer, chief economist at the Mastercard Economics Institute.

Compared to Black Friday last year, spending growth trends by category include:

  • Bundled-up style and sparkle: Apparel climbed +5.7% (online +6.1%, in-store +5.4%), as chilly temperatures and seasonal deals encouraged spending on new fashions. Jewelry also rose +2.75% (online +4.2%), as consumers opted for gifts that shine.
  • Sleighing online shopping: E-commerce retail sales ex-autos jumped +10.4%, as shoppers increasingly value speed and convenience. In-store sales grew more modestly (+1.7%) but remain essential to consumers for tactile experiences.
  • Festive feasts: Restaurants grew +4.5%, as dining out has become part of the holiday ritual to celebrate the season and underscores consumers’ continued desire for experiences.
  • Across the map: Spending outperformed in pockets of the country including New England, the Midwest and Southeast. Overall sales in New England and the Midwest were boosted by Apparel, as spending on cold-weather gear was likely supported by the drop in temperatures. The Southeast has shown persistent strength this year.

As part of Mastercard’s 2030 commitment to advancing inclusive, secure, and frictionless commerce, this year’s surge in online shopping showcases how technology is transforming the way consumers pay. Shoppers are enjoying seamless checkout experiences across devices, from smartphones to connected home assistants, making holiday shopping faster, safer, and more intuitive than ever before.

As online sales soar, so do opportunities for fraud. Mastercard research shows that 72% of consumers shop on unfamiliar websites, even though one in four claim to avoid them. The biggest red flags? Prices that seem too good to be true (52%), poor spelling or grammar (48%), and requests for unnecessary personal information (49%). Unfortunately, nearly 1 in 5 shoppers have had items that never arrived, and 16% have received counterfeit goods in past seasons.

Mastercard encourages consumers to shop smart by sticking to trusted retailers and using secure payment methods. If you suspect suspicious activity or encounter a scam, report it immediately to your bank or card provider. These steps, combined with Mastercard’s advanced fraud prevention tools, help ensure holiday shopping remains joyful and safe.

About Mastercard SpendingPulse

Mastercard SpendingPulse measures national retail sales based on aggregated and anonymized Mastercard insights, representing all payment types in select markets around the world.

Mastercard SpendingPulse defines “U.S. retail sales” as sales at retailers and food services merchants of all sizes. Sales activity within most of the services sector (for example, travel services such as airlines and lodging) are not included in the total retail sales figure. SpendingPulse insights are not indicative of Mastercard company performance; insights and forecast are subject to change.
