Exhibit 99.1

Singapore, June 1, 2022. Kenon Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: KEN, TASE: KEN) ("Kenon") announces its results for Q1 2022 and additional updates.
Kenon
• Kenon intends to distribute approximately \$552 million (\$10.25 per share) to shareholders in July 2022, subject to approval of a capital reduction in the High Court of the Republic of Singapore.
ZIM
1 Represents 100% of ZIM's results. Kenon's share of ZIM's results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was 21% (28% for three months ended March 31, 2021). 2 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure. See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon's Form 6-K dated June 1, 2022 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.
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.
See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon's Form 6-K dated June 1, 2022 for a summary of Kenon's consolidated financial information; a summary of OPC's consolidated financial information; a reconciliation of OPC's Adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-IFRS measure) to net profit (loss); 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.

| Total | 146 | 115 |
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. 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. OPC's revenue from sales of steam are linked partly to the price of gas and partly to the Israeli Consumer Price Index.

Set forth below is a discussion of changes in revenue by category between Q1 2022 and Q1 2021.
| For the period ended March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | ||
| \$ millions | |||

| Natural gas and diesel oil consumption | 39 39 |

Finance expenses, net remained the same in Q1 2022 as compared to Q1 2021. A decrease of \$5 million on interest expenses due to the early repayment of the OPC-Rotem's project financing debt in October 2021 was offset by (i) a \$4 million increase in interest expenses due to debentures issued in September 2021 and (ii) a \$1 million increase in interest expenses due to a non-controlling shareholder's loan to OPC-Rotem issued in October 2021.
The table below sets forth OPC's share of profit of associated companies, net, consisting of five of the six operating plants in which CPV has interests.
| For the period ended March 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2021 | ||
| \$ millions | |||
| Share in profit/(losses) of associated companies, net | 30 | (11) |
As at March 31, 2022, OPC's proportionate share of debt (including interest payable) of CPV associated companies was \$933 million and proportionate share of cash and cash equivalents was \$8 million.
OPC's share in profit of associated companies, net increased by \$41 million primarily as a result of (i) an improvement in the results of CPV Valley of \$25 million and (ii) an increase of \$22 million due to profit on changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments. For further details of the performance of associated companies of CPV, refer to OPC's immediate report published on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange on May 25, 2022 and the convenience English translations furnished by Kenon on Form 6-K on May 25, 2022.
As of March 31, 2022, OPC had cash and cash equivalents of \$212 million (excluding restricted cash), restricted cash of \$29 million (including debt service reserves of \$14 million), and total outstanding consolidated indebtedness of \$1,234 million, consisting of \$42 million of short-term indebtedness and \$1,192 million of long-term indebtedness. As of March 31, 2022, a substantial portion of OPC's debt was denominated in NIS.
On May 9, 2022, OPC announced that it had entered into an agreement with Veridis Power Plants Ltd. to form OPC Holdings Israel Ltd., which will hold and operate all of OPC's business activities in the energy and electricity generation and supply sectors in Israel. The details of the transaction are discussed in more detail in Kenon's Form 6-K dated May 9, 2022.
For the period ended March 31, 2022, ZIM's revenue increased by 113% in Q1 2022 to \$3.7 billion, as compared to \$1.7 billion in Q1 2021, primarily due to an increase in revenue from containerized cargo, reflecting increases in both freight rates and carried volume.
ZIM's net profit was \$1.7 billion, as compared to \$0.6 billion in Q1 2021. ZIM's Adjusted EBITDA2 in Q1 2022 was \$2.5 billion, as compared to \$0.8 billion in Q1 2021.
ZIM carried 859 thousand TEUs in Q1 2022 representing a 5% increase as compared to Q1 2021, in which ZIM carried 818 thousand TEUs. The average freight rate in Q1 2022 was \$3,848 per TEU, as compared to \$1,925 per TEU in Q1 2021.
In April 2021, Kenon's subsidiary Quantum (2007) LLC ("Quantum") entered into an agreement with the China-based investor related to the Baoneng Group, which holds 63% of Qoros (the "Majority Shareholder"), to sell its remaining 12% interest in Qoros for RMB 1.56 billion (approximately \$245 million). The Majority Shareholder has failed to make required payments under this agreement. 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. The proceedings are ongoing.
For more information on our agreement to sell our remaining interest in Qoros, and on Qoros' loan agreements and our pledges and guarantees, see Kenon's most recent annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC.
As of March 31, 2022, Kenon's unconsolidated cash balance was \$503 million. As of May 31, 2022, Kenon's total unconsolidated cash position, reflecting the receipt of a ZIM dividend in April 2022 (net of tax), was \$978 million.
Kenon's cash position includes cash and cash equivalents, fixed term bank deposits and fixed income and other treasury management instruments.
At its 2022 Annual General Meeting on May 19, 2022, Kenon received the requisite shareholder approval to return share capital amounting to approximately \$552 million to Kenon's shareholders (\$10.25 per share) (the "Capital Reduction"), subject to the approval of the High Court of the Republic of Singapore (the "Court"). The Court hearing in respect of the Capital Reduction application is scheduled for June 14, 2022 (the "Hearing"). Assuming the approval of the Court in respect of the Capital Reduction is granted at the Hearing, Kenon expects the distribution to be paid in July 2022. Further details including record and payment dates will be provided in due course.
Following the completion of the Capital Reduction, Kenon's share capital is expected to be approximately \$50 million.
Kenon is a holding company that operates dynamic, primarily growth-oriented businesses. The companies it owns, in whole or in part, are at various stages of development:

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 defines EBITDA as for each period as net profit before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net, and income tax expense, and Adjusted EBITDA as for each period as net profit before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net, income tax expense and share of 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 transparent and useful information to investors and financial analysts in their review of the company's, or its subsidiaries', or 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 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 as for each period as net profit before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net, income tax expense, and non-recurring expenses, which may include impairment 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 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.
