Singapore, June 3, 2024. Kenon Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: KEN, TASE: KEN) ("Kenon") announces its results for Q1 2024 and additional updates.
Kenon
1 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure. See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon's Form 6-K dated June 3, 2024 for the definition of OPC's Adjusted EBITDA (including proportionate share in Adjusted EBITDA of associated companies) and ZIM's Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to their respective net profit/(loss) for the applicable period.
Kenon's consolidated results of operations from its operating companies essentially comprise the consolidated results of OPC Energy Ltd ("OPC"). Our share of the results of ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. ("ZIM") are reflected under results from associated companies.
See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon's Form 6-K dated June 3, 2024 for a summary of Kenon's consolidated financial information; summary of OPC's consolidated financial information; a reconciliation of OPC's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-IFRS measure) to net profit; a summary of financial information of OPC's subsidiaries; and a reconciliation of ZIM's Adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-IFRS measure) to net profit/(loss).
OPC
The following discussion of OPC's results of operations is derived from OPC's consolidated financial statements, translated into US dollars.

| 2024 | 2023 | |
| \$ millions | ||
| Israel | 145 | 131 |
| U.S. | 29 | 16 |
| Total | 174 | 147 |
OPC's revenue increased by \$27 million in Q1 2024 as compared to Q1 2023. Excluding the impact of translating OPC's revenue from NIS to USD3 in both periods, OPC's revenue increased by \$32 million in Q1 2024 as compared to Q1 2023.
OPC's revenue from the sale of electricity to private customers is derived from electricity sold at the generation component tariffs, as published by the Israeli Electricity Authority ("EA"), with some discount. Accordingly, changes in the generation component tariffs generally affect the prices paid by customers under Power Purchase Agreements of OPC-Rotem and OPC-Hadera. The weighted-average generation component tariff in Q1 2024 was NIS 30.18 per KW hour, which is approximately 3% lower than the weighted-average generation component tariff in Q1 2023 of NIS 30.94 per KW hour.
2 Non-IFRS measure. See Appendix C for a definition of OPC's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of these measures to profit for the period.
3 For the comparison excluding the impact of translation from NIS to USD, results for both Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 were converted using an average exchange rate of \$0.2729/NIS, being the average exchange rate in effect in Q1 2024.
Set forth below is a discussion of significant changes in revenue between Q1 2024 and Q1 2023.
| For the three months ended March 31, | ||

| \$ millions | ||
| Israel | 101 | 94 |
| U.S. | 16 | 9 |
| Total | 117 | 103 |
OPC's cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased by \$14 million from Q1 2023 to Q1 2024. Excluding the impact of translating OPC's cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) from NIS to USD4 in both periods, OPC's cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased by \$18 million in Q1 2024 as compared to Q1 2023. Set forth below is a discussion of significant changes in cost of sales between Q1 2024 and Q1 2023.
4 For the comparison excluding the impact of translation from NIS to USD, results for both Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 were converted using an average exchange rate of \$0.2729/NIS, being the average exchange rate in effect in Q1 2024.

Finance expenses, net increased by \$12 million in Q1 2024, as compared to Q1 2023, primarily due to (i) an increase in interest expense relating to loans for the Gat Power Plant and the Mountain Wind project of \$1 million and \$6 million, respectively, and (ii) an increase in interest expense from the commencement of commercial operations of the Tzomet Power Plant (which commenced operations in Q2 2023) of \$3 million.
OPC's share of profit of associated companies, net decreased by \$4 million in Q1 2024 to \$20 million, as compared to \$24 million in Q1 2023.
For further details of the results of associated companies of CPV, refer to OPC's immediate report published on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") on May 21, 2024 and the convenience English translations furnished by Kenon on Form 6-K on May 21, 2024.
As of March 31, 2024, OPC had cash and cash equivalents of \$228 million (excluding restricted cash), restricted cash of \$17 million (including restricted cash used for debt service), and total outstanding consolidated indebtedness of \$1,488 million, consisting of \$107 million of short-term indebtedness and \$1,381 million of long-term indebtedness. As of March 31, 2024, a substantial portion of OPC's debt was denominated in NIS.
As of March 31, 2024, OPC's proportionate share of debt (including accrued interest) of CPV associated companies was \$710 million and proportionate share of cash and cash equivalents of CPV associated companies was \$83 million.
In April 2024, CPV Renewable Power ("CPV Renewable", a wholly-owned subsidiary of CPV Group, which operates, constructs and develops renewable energy projects in the U.S., in which OPC has a 70% interest) entered into a non-binding term sheet with a North American infrastructure private equity fund regarding a potential investment of \$300 million. According to the term sheet, if the potential transaction is agreed and completed, the investor would provide a total amount of \$300 million in exchange for approximately 32.6% of ordinary equity interests in CPV Renewable (reflecting a pre-money valuation of \$620 million for CPV Renewable, subject to adjustments).
On May 21, 2024, ZIM announced a dividend for Q1 2024 of approximately \$28 million, or \$0.23 per ordinary share, to be paid on June 11, 2024, of which Kenon's share would be approximately \$5 million net of tax. ZIM also announced its updated full-year 2024 guidance.
ZIM carried approximately 846 thousand TEUs in Q1 2024, representing a 10% increase as compared to Q1 2023, in which ZIM carried approximately 769 thousand TEUs. The average freight rate in Q1 2024 was \$1,452 per TEU, as compared to \$1,390 per TEU in Q1 2023.
ZIM's revenues increased by approximately 14% in Q1 2024 to approximately \$1.6 billion, as compared to approximately \$1.4 billion in Q1 2023, primarily due to an increase in freight rates as well as carried volume.
ZIM's net profit in Q1 2024 was \$92 million, as compared to net loss of \$58 million in Q1 2023. ZIM's Adjusted EBITDA5 in Q1 2024 was \$427 million, as compared to \$373 million in Q1 2023.
5 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure. See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon's Form 6-K dated June 3, 2024 for the definition of ZIM's Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to its net profit/(loss) for the applicable period.

As of March 31, 2024, Kenon's stand-alone cash and cash equivalents was \$640 million. As of June 3, 2024, Kenon's stand-alone cash position was \$438 million. There is no material debt at the Kenon level.
On May 15, 2024, Kenon announced, in respect of its arbitration proceeding under the Free Trade Agreement between Singapore and the Republic of Peru ("Peru"), that following the parties' requests for rectification of and/or supplementation to the previously announced award relating to interest and other matters, that the arbitration tribunal has issued its Decision on the Requests for Rectification and Clarification (the "Decision"). The claims, proceedings and the award in favor of Kenon and its wholly-owned subsidiary IC Power Ltd. ("IC Power") in the amount of \$110.7 million in damages together with \$5.1 million in fees and costs plus pre- and post-award interest (the "Award") are described in more detail in Kenon's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ending December 31, 2023 (the "Form 20-F"). Pursuant to the Decision, pre- and post-award interest on the Award shall be payable at a rate of 6.91% per annum, compounding annually. As of April 30, 2024, pre- and post-award interest on the Award is approximately \$60 million. Interest will continue to accrue until the Award is paid.
As described in more detail in the Form 20-F, Kenon and IC Power have entered into an agreement with a capital provider to provide capital for expenses in relation to the pursuit of their arbitration claims against Peru and other costs, and in the event Kenon or IC Power receives proceeds in connection with the Award or settlement thereof, the capital provider will be entitled to be repaid for any expenses funded by the capital provider in accordance with the agreement, and to receive a portion of the claim proceeds, including interest. As of April 30, 2024, we estimate that our share of the Award, including interest and net of arbitration costs, would be approximately \$75 million, subject to tax.
Kenon is taking steps to enforce the Award.
Pursuant to the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Dispute ("ICSID") Convention, Peru has 120 days from the date of the Decision to file an application to annul the Award on the limited grounds established by the ICSID Convention.
Kenon holds a 12% equity interest in Qoros Automotive Co., Ltd. ("Qoros"), a China-based automotive company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Quantum (2007) LLC ("Quantum").
As previously disclosed in the Form 20-F, an entity related to Shenzhen Baoneng Investment Group Co., Ltd. ("Baoneng Group"), which holds 63% of Qoros (the "Qoros Majority Shareholder"), had undertaken to take action to prevent enforcement of the pledge over the 12% equity interest in Qoros owned by Quantum and to indemnify Quantum against losses in connection with any such enforcement, and Baoneng Group had provided a guarantee of this obligation. Kenon had filed a claim against Baoneng Group in the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court relating to the breach of this guarantee by Baoneng Group, which was then transferred to the Supreme People's Court of China for trial.
The Supreme People's Court of China has upheld Kenon's claim for specific performance against Baoneng Group, ordering Baoneng Group to open an escrow account on behalf of Kenon and to deposit approximately RMB 1.4 billion (approximately \$193 million) into the escrow account.
Kenon has previously obtained a court order freezing certain assets of Baoneng Group in connection with the litigation.
The ruling in favor of Kenon described above is separate from the arbitration proceedings which have been previously disclosed and pursuant to which in February 2024, the arbitration tribunal issued a final award, not subject to any conditions, in favor of Quantum. The tribunal had ruled that the Qoros Majority Shareholder and Baoneng Group are obligated to pay Quantum approximately RMB 1.9 billion (approximately \$262 million) relating to the sale agreement for Kenon's remaining 12% stake in Qoros, comprising the purchase price set forth in the sale agreement (as adjusted for inflation) of approximately RMB 1.7 billion (approximately \$235 million), together with pre-award and post-award interest (which will accrue until payment of the award), legal fees and expenses. In connection with this arbitration, Kenon has obtained a court order freezing assets of Baoneng Group at different rankings.
Any value that could be realized in respect of these proceedings is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including risks relating to enforcement and collection in respect of these proceedings and other risks and uncertainties.

Kenon has interests in the following businesses:
• OPC (55% interest) – a leading owner, operator and developer of power generation facilities in the Israeli and U.S. power markets; and • ZIM (21% interest) – an international shipping company.

This press release, including the financial tables, presents OPC's Adjusted EBITDA and share of EBITDA of its associated companies, which are non-IFRS financial measures.
OPC's EBITDA is defined for each period as net profit before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net, share of depreciation and amortization and financing expenses, net, included within share of profit of associated companies, net and income tax expense. OPC's Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net profit before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net, share of depreciation and amortization and financing expenses, net, included within share of profit of associated companies, net, income tax expense, changes in net expenses, not in the ordinary course of business and/or of a non-recurring nature, other income/(expenses) and share of changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized under IFRS as a measure of financial performance and should not be considered as a substitute for net profit or loss, cash flow from operations or other measures of operating performance determined in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to represent funds available for dividends or other discretionary uses because those funds may be required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital and other commitments and contingencies. There are limitations that impair the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of OPC's profitability since it does not take into consideration certain costs and expenses that result from OPC's business that could have a significant effect on net profit, such as financial expenses, taxes, and depreciation and amortization.
OPC believes that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA and share of EBITDA of its associated companies provide useful information to investors and financial analysts in their review of the company's, its subsidiaries', and its associated companies' operating performance and in the comparison of such operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry or in other industries that have different capital structures, debt levels and/or income tax rates.
Set forth below are reconciliations of OPC's net profit to Adjusted EBITDA and share of net profit or losses to share of EBITDA of its associated companies for the periods presented. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently, and therefore this presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

This press release, including the financial tables, presents ZIM's Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS financial measure.
ZIM defines Adjusted EBITDA for each period as net profit/(loss) adjusted to exclude financial expenses/(income), net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization in order to reach EBITDA, and further adjusted to exclude impairments of assets, non-cash charter hire expenses, capital gains/(losses) beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses related to legal contingencies. Adjusted EBITDA is not recognized under IFRS as a measure of financial performance and should not be considered as a substitute for net profit or loss, cash flow from operations or other measures of operating performance determined in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent funds available for dividends or other discretionary uses because those funds may be required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital and other commitments and contingencies. There are limitations that impair the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of ZIM's profitability since it does not take into consideration certain costs and expenses that result from ZIM's business that could have a significant effect on net profit, such as financial expenses, taxes, and depreciation and amortization.
ZIM believes that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA enables the comparison of operating performance between periods on a consistent basis. This measure should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for operating income, any other performance measure, or cash flow data, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as measures of profitability or liquidity. In addition, non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, due to differences in the way these measures are calculated.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of ZIM's net profit/(loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented(*).
