Ampa Yuvlim 2026: How Much Cash the Harvest Path Can Really Release

Ampa Yuvlim shows ILS 595.2 million of signed but unrecognized revenue, but the monetization path is not one clean cash wave: nearly 41% of the balance sits in a project due only in Q4 2026, three contracts were cancelled after the balance sheet date, and the two live projects still carry payments and related costs.

What This Follow-Up Is Isolating

The main article argued that Ampa’s 2026 question is no longer whether the group has an equity cushion, but how many claims are already lining up against it. This follow-up isolates only Ampa Yuvlim, because that is one of the clearest routes through which cash is supposed to flow back into the group. By 2025, this was already more than a theory: in projects classified as inventory, 511 sale agreements were signed, 280 apartments reached delivery and revenue recognition, and apartment-sale revenue reached ILS 623.98 million.

Still, the headline number is easy to read too quickly. At year-end 2025, Ampa Yuvlim had 626 signed apartment sales totaling ILS 1.426 billion, of which ILS 595.19 million was still unrecognized. That sounds like excess cash on the way. In practice, it is not one homogeneous pool. ILS 243.73 million, nearly 41% of the balance, sits in Netanya Yuvlim, a project with expected delivery only in Q4 2026. Another ILS 141.93 million sits in Netanya Rotem Shani, a delivered project that already saw two post-balance-sheet cancellations. Another ILS 185.43 million sits in Givat Shmuel and Or Yehuda, where 30 apartments were still unsigned at year-end.

One more point needs to be aligned early. Ampa owns 50% of Ampa Yuvlim. So every large number in the tables is first a 100% joint-vehicle number, and only then a question of how much can actually travel up to Ampa, at what pace, and after what leakage from developer payments, VAT, selling expenses, and taxes.

The ILS 595 Million Is Not One Bucket

Where the unrecognized revenue sits, and where sales are still missing

The chart highlights two things at once. First, concentration. Four projects alone, Netanya Yuvlim, Netanya Rotem Shani, Givat Shmuel, and Or Yehuda, account for about 96% of all signed but unrecognized revenue. Second, the quality of that concentration is uneven.

Netanya Yuvlim is the clearest example. Commercially, it is almost closed, with 98 signed apartments out of 99. But the project that looks the cleanest commercially is also the slowest in time, because delivery is only expected in Q4 2026. So the biggest backlog number is not necessarily the nearest cash.

At the other end are Givat Shmuel and Or Yehuda. Both were already delivered, which makes them look closer to harvest at first glance. But the friction here is different: in Givat Shmuel only 38 of 50 apartments were signed at year-end, and in Or Yehuda only 33 of 51. So a meaningful part of the path still depends on additional selling, not just delivery and collection.

Netanya Rotem Shani sits in the middle. It is a delivered project with 53 signed contracts out of 53 apartments at year-end, which makes it easy to read as nearly closed backlog. But by the publication date, two sale agreements in that project had already been cancelled, and the company explicitly says that ILS 5.55 million of the year-end unrecognized revenue balance relates to those two units. That is the heart of the thesis. Even apartments that already look signed are not automatically locked cash.

Near the report date, Ampa Yuvlim says it still had 42 apartments being marketed, with an estimated value of about ILS 98 million plus VAT, including units still classified as investment property. That matters because it shows the next leg of monetization still depends not only on closing already-signed deals, but also on creating new ones.

The Payment Schedule Only Makes Sense Once It Is Broken Apart

The developer-payment table is easy to misread. The ILS 292.63 million number can look, at first glance, like the remaining 2026 payment burden. That is not exactly what the table is saying.

The table is showing three layers together: a contractual purchase price of ILS 246.8 million across the two live projects, ILS 111.24 million already paid by the end of 2025, and a total indexed amount of ILS 292.63 million after linkage to the December 2025 construction-input index. The quarterly 2026 schedule itself points to ILS 64.79 million in Q1 2026 for Or Yehuda and ILS 116.60 million in Q4 2026 for Netanya Yuvlim, together ILS 181.39 million, before VAT and ancillary costs.

The two projects that still pull developer payments

That distinction matters for two reasons. On the one hand, the fresh 2026 cash burden is lower than the ILS 292.63 million headline row. On the other hand, even the lower number still understates the full cash picture, because the note below the table explicitly says the amounts exclude VAT and ancillary acquisition costs. In other words, even on the narrower reading, cash still goes out before the harvest is complete.

It also explains why Netanya Yuvlim is the critical project in the whole path. The same project carries the largest unrecognized-revenue balance and the largest Q4 developer payment. So the key economic event in the route is not the signature date. It is whether the late-2026 delivery actually happens on time.

The company says that apartment-sale activity generally does not require external financing. That may be true at the broader framework level. But it still does not turn this into a path where cash only flows in. It first flows in and out on different clocks, and only then does the question become what is left.

After the Balance Sheet There Was Both Relief and Leakage

The Sale Contracts Themselves

By the report date, one more contract had been signed in Rehovot and another three in Givat Shmuel. Against that, two contracts were cancelled in Netanya Rotem Shani and one more in Jerusalem. The year-end revenue balance tied to those three cancellations was ILS 7.635 million.

That matters because it changes how the marketed-inventory line should be read. The move from 43 unsigned apartments at the end of 2025 to 42 marketed apartments near the report date did not come from a clean run of sales. It came from four new sales against three cancellations. In other words, the unrecognized part of the backlog already showed real commercial friction within weeks.

Full Project Purchase Cancellations

In the same period, two full project purchases were also cancelled: 54 units in Holon for an agreed payment of ILS 28.824 million including VAT, and 53 units in Kiryat Ono Canaan for an agreed payment of ILS 112.92 million including VAT, in both cases subject to the cancellation conditions being met.

Those two projects had no signed sales backlog at year-end, and the tables already present them as cancelled projects. That means their cancellation does more to reduce future capital demands than to accelerate harvest from the existing signed backlog. It is meaningful relief, but it is not a substitute for delivery, collection, and continued selling in the projects that are actually supposed to generate the monetization.

How This Reaches Ampa

The right way to read Ampa Yuvlim inside Ampa is to separate the joint-vehicle numbers from what can actually travel up to the group.

LayerAt Ampa Yuvlim, 100% basisRough look-through to AmpaWhy this is still not free cash
Signed but unrecognized revenueILS 595.19 millionAbout ILS 297.60 millionIt still has to move through delivery, recognition, collection, selling costs, and taxes

Quarterly 2026 developer-payment scheduleILS 181.39 million before VAT and ancillary costsAbout ILS 90.70 million before VAT and ancillary costsThis is cash that goes out before part of the backlog turns into cash coming in

This table is not trying to calculate a future dividend. There is not enough disclosure to say when, or how much, cash will actually move upstream. What it does do is force the right order of reading: first Ampa Yuvlim on a 100% basis, then Ampa’s share, and only then the cash that remains after deliveries, collections, developer payments, VAT, selling expenses, and taxes.

Ampa Yuvlim is a real monetization engine, but it is not an instant capital-release button. 2025 proved there is real harvesting here. 2026 will have to prove how much of that harvest is actually accessible, when, and how quickly it can reach Ampa itself.

Conclusion

Ampa Yuvlim is working. 2025 proved that the platform can turn inventory into revenue: 511 signed contracts in inventory-classified projects, 280 apartments delivered and recognized into revenue, and ILS 623.98 million of apartment-sale revenue. This is not a stuck vehicle.

But the balance waiting from 2026 onward is not one pipe through which ILS 595.19 million simply flows upward. It is split between a large project with delivery only at the end of 2026, delivered projects that still depend on more selling, and signed backlog that has already shown post-balance-sheet leakage. At the same time, the two live projects still pull developer payments, and even that disclosure excludes VAT and ancillary costs.

That is why the next checkpoints are very simple: the Q1 payment in Or Yehuda without another commercial step-down, the sales pace in Givat Shmuel and Or Yehuda, the cancellation rate in already-delivered projects, and above all whether Netanya Yuvlim reaches its Q4 2026 delivery. If those checkpoints hold, Ampa Yuvlim can become a meaningful part of the answer to Ampa’s wider cash queue. If not, the monetization will still be real, but slower and noisier than the headline suggests.
