See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon's Form 6-K dated March 30, 2023 for the definition of ZIM's Adjusted EBITDA and OPC's and CPV's Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to their respective net profit for the applicable period.

Discussion of Results for the Year ended December 31, 2022

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 Ltd. ("ZIM") are reflected under results from associated companies. In addition, Kenon's results for the year ended December 31, 2022 were impacted by an impairment of the carrying value of ZIM to its market value as at December 31, 2022.

See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon's Form 6-K dated March 30, 2023 for summary of Kenon's consolidated financial information; summary of OPC's consolidated financial information; a reconciliation of OPC's Adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-IFRS measure) to net profit; 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.

Analysis of Results

Revenue

For the year ended December 31,
2022 2021
\$ millions
Israel 517 437
U.S. 57 51
Total 574 488

OPC's revenue increased by \$86 million in 2022, as compared to 2021. As OPC's revenue is denominated in NIS, translation of its revenue into US Dollars had a negative impact of \$4 million. Set forth below is a discussion of significant changes in revenue between 2022 and 2021.

OPC's revenue from the sale of electricity to private customers derives 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 under Power Purchase Agreements by customers of OPC-Rotem and OPC-Hadera. The weighted-average generation component tariff effective February 1, 2022, as published by the EA, was NIS 0.2869 per KW hour, which was approximately 13.6% higher than the weightedaverage generation component tariff in 2021 of NIS 0.2526 per KW hour.

3 Non-IFRS measure. See Appendix C for a definition of OPC's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of these measures to net profit.

In April 2022, due to a reduction in excise tax on use of coal and to combat the high cost of living, the EA published a new weighted average generation component tariff effective May 1, 2022 of NIS 0.2764 per KW hour, which is approximately 3.7% lower than the rate effected on February 1, 2022. In August 2022, as a result of rising energy cost exacerbated by the conflict in Ukraine, the EA published a new weighted average generation component tariff effective August 1, 2022 of NIS 0.314 per KW hour, which is an increase of approximately 13.6% as compared to the rate effected on May 1, 2022.

  • Revenue from sale of energy to private customers in Israel Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, such revenues increased by \$73 million primarily as a result of (i) a \$49 million increase in the generation component tariff and (ii) a \$24 million increase in customer consumption mainly due to virtual supply activities that commenced in September 2021.
  • Other revenue in Israel Revenue from Gnrgy Ltd ("Gnrgy") amounted to \$12 million in 2022 and reflects the commencement of operations of Gnrgy, which is engaged in the business of charging services for electric vehicles.

Cost of Sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)

For the year ended December 31,
2022 2021
\$ millions
Israel 385 312
U.S. 32 25
Total 417 337

OPC's cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased by \$80 million in 2022, as compared to 2021. As OPC's cost of sales is denominated in NIS, translation of its cost of sales into US Dollars had a positive impact of \$4 million. Set forth below is a discussion of significant changes in cost of sales between 2022 and 2021.

  • Natural gas and diesel oil consumption in Israel – Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, such costs increased by \$11 million primarily as a result of (i) an \$18 million increase due to the increase in gas prices as a result of an increase in the generation component tariff and movements in the USD/NIS exchange rate and (ii) compensation paid in 2021 (reducing costs in that year) to OPC-Rotem and OPC-Hadera of \$5 million due to the delay in the commercial operation of the Karish reservoir. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of \$11 million due to lower consumption of natural gas as a result of maintenance at the OPC-Rotem power plant.
  • Expenses for acquisition of energy in Israel – Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, such costs increased by \$57 million primarily as a result of (i) a \$37 million increase reflecting the commencement of virtual supply in 2021 and (ii) a \$20 million increase due to maintenance at the OPC-Rotem power plant.
  • Other expenses in Israel – Cost from the commencement of operations of Gnrgy amounted to \$9 million in 2022.

Finance Expenses, net

Finance expenses, net decreased by \$127 million in 2022, as compared to 2021 primarily due to (i) a non-recurring interest expense in 2021 of \$75 million as a result of early repayment of OPC-Rotem's project financing debt in October 2021, (ii) a \$16 million decrease in interest expense in respect of OPC-Rotem's senior debt, (ii) non-recurring interest expense in 2021 of \$12 million due to the purchase of the remaining minority stake in a CPV subsidiary and (iv) an increase of about \$30 million from financing income from bank deposits.

Share of Profit of Associated Companies, net

OPC's share of profit of associated companies, net increased by \$96 million in 2022, as compared to 2021, primarily as a result of higher gas and electricity prices. This, together with improved plant efficiency, contributed to an increase in energy margins which was partially offset by the realization of hedging losses.

As at December 31, 2022, OPC's proportionate share of net debt (including interest payable) of CPV associated companies was approximately \$865 million.

For further details of the performance of associated companies of CPV, refer to OPC's immediate report published on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange ("TASE") on March 19, 2023 and the convenience English translations furnished by Kenon on Form 6-K on March 19, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2022, OPC had cash and cash equivalents of \$241 million, restricted cash (used for debt service reserves) of \$14 million, and total outstanding consolidated indebtedness of \$1,163 million, consisting of \$39 million of short-term indebtedness and \$1,124 million of long-term indebtedness. As of December 31, 2022, a substantial portion of OPC's debt was denominated in NIS.

Tariff Update

On January 1, 2023, the annual update of the electricity tariffs of the EA for 2023 entered into effect, decreasing the generation component by 0.6% to NIS 0.312 per KW hour. On February 1, 2023, due to an extension of Excise Tax on Fuel Order, the EA published an additional update to the generation component for 2023 of NIS 0.3081 per KW hour, which is approximately 1.2% lower than the rate effected on January 1, 2023.

ZIM

Announcement of Q4 2022 Dividend and 2023 Guidance

On March 13, 2023, ZIM announced a dividend for Q4 2022 of approximately \$769 million, or \$6.40 per ordinary share, to be paid on April 3, 2023. Kenon expects to receive \$159 million (\$151 million net of tax). ZIM also announced its full-year 2023 guidance.

Discussion of ZIM's Results for 2022

ZIM carried approximately 3,380 thousand TEUs in 2022 representing a 3% decrease as compared to 2021, in which ZIM carried approximately 3,481 thousand TEUs. The average freight rate in 2022 was \$3,240 per TEU, as compared to \$2,786 per TEU in 2021.

ZIM's revenues increased by approximately 18% in 2022 to approximately \$12.6 billion, as compared to approximately \$10.7 billion in 2021, primarily due to an increase in revenues from containerized cargo, reflecting the increase in freight rates.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, ZIM's net profit was \$4.6 billion which is largely in line with 2021. ZIM's Adjusted EBITDA2 in 2022 was \$7.5 billion, as compared to \$6.6 billion in 2021.

Qoros

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Quantum initiated arbitral proceedings against the Majority Shareholder and Baoneng Group with China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission for the sale of remaining 12% interest. The proceedings are ongoing.

For information on our agreement to sell our remaining interest in Qoros, and the ongoing proceedings relating to this agreement, and on Qoros' loan agreements and our pledges in respect of Qoros debt see Kenon's most recent quarterly report on Form 6-K and annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.

Additional Kenon Updates

Kenon's (stand-alone) Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2022, Kenon's stand-alone cash position was \$638 million. As of March 30, 2023, Kenon's stand-alone cash position was \$642 million. Kenon expects to receive additional cash of \$151 million on April 3, 2023 as a result of payment of ZIM's Q4 2022 dividend. There is no material debt at the Kenon level.

Kenon's stand-alone cash position includes cash and cash equivalents and other treasury management instruments.

Interim Dividend for the Year Ending December 31, 2023

In March 2023, Kenon's board of directors approved an interim cash dividend of approximately \$150 million (\$2.79 per share) (the "Dividend") relating to the year ending December 31, 2023, payable to Kenon's shareholders of record as of the close of trading on April 10, 2023 (the "Record Date"), to be paid on or about April 19, 2023 (the "Payment Date").

The New York Stock Exchange's (the "NYSE") ex-dividend date, which is the date on which Kenon's shares will begin trading on the NYSE without the entitlement to the Dividend, is April 6, 2023 (the "NYSE Ex-Dividend Date"). The NYSE will adjust the price of Kenon's shares on the NYSE Ex-Dividend Date to reflect the Dividend.

The TASE ex-dividend date, which is the date on which Kenon's shares will begin trading on the TASE without the entitlement to the Dividend, is April 10, 2023 (the "TASE Ex-Dividend Date"). The TASE will adjust the price of Kenon's shares on the TASE Ex-Dividend Date to reflect the Dividend.

We encourage you to contact your bank, broker, nominee or other institution if you have any questions regarding the mechanics and timing of having the Dividend attributable to your shares credited to your account.

Singapore tax is not expected to be imposed on Kenon's shareholders in connection with the Dividend. Nevertheless, the Dividend may constitute a taxable event to Kenon's shareholders according to their jurisdiction and the relevant tax law applicable (including for the purpose of withholding tax in accordance with applicable law and/or regulation). Kenon's shareholders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the federal, state, and/or any other applicable tax consequences of the Dividend, and the potential imposition of withholding taxes in connection with the Dividend.

Announcement of Share Repurchase Plan

In March 2023, Kenon's board of directors authorized a share repurchase plan of up to \$50 million. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases on the TASE or the NYSE or by way of off-market purchases in accordance with an equal access scheme, or by other means that comply with applicable laws. Repurchases may be made using trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the similar safe harbor under Israeli law and Israel Securities Authority guidelines, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions.

To implement the share repurchase plan, Kenon has entered into an initial repurchase mandate for repurchases of up to \$12 million of shares through open market purchases on the TASE only, to be implemented by a broker who will have discretion as to repurchases pursuant to irrevocable instructions which include parameters as to price and volume set by Kenon, within the safe harbor from insider trading liability pursuant to the "Israel Securities Authority Opinion 199-8". Such initial mandate will expire on May 25, 2023, shortly before the expected date of Kenon's forthcoming Annual General Meeting ("AGM") ("2023 AGM"). Kenon will seek approval at the 2023 AGM to renew its authority to enter into further mandates and, subject to such shareholder approval, expects to enter into such further mandates to make purchases to implement the share repurchase plan for up to \$50 million. Share repurchases under the share repurchase plan will be funded through available cash. The considerations for implementing the share repurchase plan include enhancing shareholder value while taking into account Kenon's available funds.

Pursuant to the terms of the share purchase authorization which was renewed at the AGM held on May 19, 2022 ("2022 AGM"), the board of directors is authorized to repurchase up to 5% of issued and outstanding shares as at the date of that AGM (excluding any shares which were held as treasury shares, or which were held by a subsidiary of the Company under Sections 21(4B) or 21(6C) of the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore (the "Companies Act"), as at that date). Kenon intends to seek shareholder approval at the 2023 AGM to increase this limit (from the current 5%) to up to 10% of its issued and outstanding shares as of that date (excluding any shares which are held as treasury shares, or which are held by a subsidiary of the Company under Sections 21 (4B) or 21(6C) of the Companies Act, as at that date).

The implementation of the share repurchase plan is subject to the authority of the share purchase authorization which was renewed by shareholders at the 2022 AGM (and which will, unless varied or revoked by our shareholders at a general meeting, continue in force until the earlier of the date of the 2023 AGM or the date by which the 2023 AGM is required by law to be held) or, as the case may be, any subsisting share purchase authorization in force at the time of the share repurchases (including the share purchase authorization which will be proposed for shareholder approval at the 2023 AGM). The share repurchase plan may be suspended for periods, modified or discontinued at any time and may not be completed up to the full amount of the share repurchase plan. Any ordinary shares acquired or purchased will be deemed cancelled immediately upon purchase or acquisition, unless held as treasury shares.

AGM Resolution Regarding Share Dividend

Kenon intends to seek shareholder approval at the 2023 AGM to alter its constitution to facilitate payment of its cash dividends in the form of new shares, or a combination of cash and new shares, at the election of shareholders, in accordance with such scheme as may be adopted by Kenon from time to time.

PFIC Status for Taxable Year Ended December 31, 2022 and Future Taxable Years

We believe that we were likely a passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the taxable year ended December 31, 2022, and could continue to be treated as a PFIC for foreseeable future taxable years. However, the application of the PFIC rules is subject to uncertainty in several respects, and a separate determination must be made after the close of each taxable year as to whether we are a PFIC for such year. A PFIC information statement for the year ended December 31, 2022 is available on Kenon's website under financial results.

Definition of OPC's Adjusted EBITDA and share of EBITDA of its associated companies and non-IFRS reconciliation

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 EBITDA is defined for each period as net profit before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net, and income tax expense and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net profit before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net, income tax expense and share of profits or losses of associated companies, net. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized under IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting principles 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.

Definition of ZIM's Adjusted EBITDA and non-IFRS reconciliation

This press release, including the financial tables, presents ZIM's Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS financial measure.

ZIM defines Adjusted EBITDA as for each period as net profit before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net, income tax expense, non-cash charter hire expenses, capital gains beyond the ordinary course of business and expenses related to legal contingencies. Adjusted EBITDA is not recognized under IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting principles 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 to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.
