Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains statements that express Delek's opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results. Examples include discussion of Delek's strategies, financial forecasts, financing plans, growth opportunities and market growth. In some cases, such forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "plan," "seek," "project," "expect," "may," "will," "would," "could" or "should," the negative of these terms or similar expressions. While Delek always intends to express its best judgment when making statements about what it believes will occur in the future, and although Delek bases these statements on assumptions that it believes to be reasonable when made, these forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of Delek's performance or the performance of any of its existing or future subsidiaries or affiliates. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they were made. Forward-looking statements are subject to many risks, uncertainties and other variable circumstances, such as negative worldwide economic conditions and ongoing instability and volatility in the worldwide financial markets and possible changes in current and proposed legislation, regulations and governmental policies. Such risks and uncertainties may cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Many of these risks are outside of Delek's control. Neither Delek nor any of its existing or future subsidiaries or affiliates undertakes, and specifically declines, any obligation to update any such forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of such forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments. All subsequent oral or written forwardlooking statements attributable to Delek or any of its existing or future subsidiaries or affiliates or any of its or their members, directors, officers, employees or any persons acting on its or their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statement above. The forward-looking information included in this presentation derived from the NSAI report as of June 2020 ("NSAI Report") is primarily based on the estimates of Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. ("NSAI") with respect to the quantities of natural gas and condensate in the Leviathan gas field which are classified as reserves "On Production," and on certain other assumptions (the "NSAI Data"). The NSAI Data is also based on financial data representing Delek's 45.34% working interest in the Leviathan gas field (the "Leviathan Working Interest"). As such, the NSAI Data is not a projection or prediction, but simply illustrates hypothetical results that are mathematically derived from NSAI's reserves estimates and the specified assumptions. Accordingly, it will not readily allow comparisons of actual results against forecasts and does not facilitate ongoing budget comparisons. Reference to the NSAI Data derived from the NSAI Report should not be regarded as a representation by Delek or any other person that the results provided will be achieved. The NSAI Data has been prepared based on certain important assumptions. Actual production levels, sales volumes, gas and condensate sales prices, availability, operating expenses, maintenance costs, royalties, levies, capital costs and interest and inflation rates may differ from those assumed as a result of many risks and uncertainties, including those described in the preceding paragraph. Accordingly, the actual performance and cash flows of the Leviathan Working Interest for any future period may differ significantly from those shown by the NSAI Data. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the NSAI Data and should make your own independent assessment of the Leviathan Working Interest's future results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

COVID-19 impact on results and expected performance Leviathan H1 performance (45.34% Delek Drilling WI)

  • ⚫ Following commencement of production in December 2019, the Leviathan project has been operating at average uptime levels reaching above 97%
  • ⚫ The Leviathan Partners have seen a temporary decrease in gas sales over the past few months as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which has impacted demand for gas in the region
    • ⚫ During Q1'20 and Q2'20, gross sales from Leviathan were c.1.6 BCM and c.1.4 BCM
      • ⚫ Q2'20 production decrease is due to well management to match regional demand
    • ⚫ 2020 and 2021 gross sales expected to be c.7.0 BCM and c.8.9 BCM (vs. previously forecasted1 gross sales of 9.3BCM and 10.8BCM, respectively) at an average price of c.\$5.00 per MMBTU
  • ⚫ Subsequent to the decrease in production, the operator has been working to further streamline and reduce operating costs and planned investments
    • ⚫ 2020 updated budget includes a gross c.\$45mm reduction in operating costs and planned investments
    • ⚫ The operator is also examining potential reductions post 2020
  • ⚫ While Brent prices were down more than 33% from Q1'20 to Q2'20, due to Leviathan's floor pricing, average realized price per mcf was only down 7%

Appendix

1 Based on 2P Production profile per June 2020 NSAI reserve report

⚫ Given all major offtake contracts have floor prices, Leviathan's asset value is downside protected and has very low sensitivity to falls in Brent price

  • ⚫ Between \$25 and \$50 Brent, a \$1 decrease in Brent only results in ~\$3mm (0.1%) of PV-10 reduction, on average
  • ⚫ Brent-linked contracts escalate with increases in Brent prices which retains upside for the asset to commodity price
    • ⚫ Between \$50 and \$75 Brent, a \$1 increase in Brent results in \$12mm (0.3%) of PV-10 value, on average

Overriding
royalties (ORRI)

The financial projections include statutory and contractual royalties that are required to be paid by Delek
Drilling in connection with its Working Interest and Delek
Drilling's
contracted obligations

The financial projections include the payment of the required levy payments pursuant to the Taxation of Profits from Natural Resources Law

Overriding royalties (ORRI):

A leaseholder is required to pay royalties of 12.5% of the volume of oil and gas produced and utilized to the Israeli government according to the market value of the royalties at the
well head (effectively 11.5%1
)

Overriding royalties ("ORRI") paid to third parties and related parties
1
Delek
Drilling pays ORRI at an aggregate rate of approximately 4.5% before recoupment of costs ("Payout") and 9.5% after Payout (effectively 4.1% and 8.7% respectively
).

Calculation of the effective ORRI rate is made according to the principles under which the state's royalties are calculated
In June 2020, The Ministry of Energy published general guidelines for calculating the effective royalty rate for the State and is expected to publish guideline for each project

The rate here stated is based on 11.5%1 effective rate to the state


Levy:

Imposed on the JV level only after the investments in exploration, development and construction are fully returned plus an uplift that reflects the developer's risk and required
financial expenses (R-factor), as allowed by law

R-factor is calculated on a progressive basis and will increase over time as the project's profit grows
Levy for Leviathan starts from R-Factor reaching 1.5X, meaning full investment return plus

Tax deductible expense

Profit levy ranges between 0% -
50% (46.8% after certain adjustments from 2018)

Uplift on exploration expenses: 200% with a cap
Fixed asset depreciation
Investments in fixed assets is depreciated (for tax purposes) at straight line over 10 years, for most capital investments
Taxes
Israel Corporation Tax rate of 23%

Petroleum levy (Sheshinski)

Levy calculation R-factor mechanism

  • ⚫ In 2011, the Israeli parliament enacted the Taxation of Profits from Natural Resources Law
  • ⚫ The Law caused a change in the taxation principles for income of the oil and gas industry, including imposing a levy on oil and gas profits
  • ⚫ The rate of the levy will be calculated according to an R-factor mechanism:
    • ⚫ According to the ratio between the net aggregate revenues from the project and the aggregate investments
    • ⚫ A minimum levy of 20% will be collected commencing from the point when the R-factor ratio reaches for Leviathan 1.5x, and as the ratio rises, the levy progressively increases up to a maximum rate of 50% when the ratio reaches 2.3x
    • ⚫ Additionally, it was determined that the rate of the levy will be reduced by multiplying 0.64 by the difference between the corporate tax rate in respect of each tax year and the 18% tax rate, therefore the maximum effective tax rate once the ratio reaches 2.3x is 46.8% and corporate tax is 23%
  • ⚫ The Levy rate is applied to the Levy base which is defined as Working Interest Revenues less Royalties less Operating expenses less Capital expenditures less Abandonment expenditures
