* August 17, 2023.

In January 2023, the Government began advancement of a plan for making changes in Israel's judicial system. Pursuant to the publications in the media, the changes could impact the strength of the Israeli economy, and in particular they could lead to a reduction of the credit rating of the State of Israel (where in April 2023, the Moody's rating company reduced the rating outlook from "positive" to "stable"), adversely impact investments in the Israeli economy and trigger a removal of money and investments from Israel, increase the costs of the financing sources in Israel, cause of weakening of the exchange rate of the shekel against other currencies (including the dollar) and harm the activities of the business sector. To the extent the above estimates materialize, wholly or partly, this could negatively impact the financial position and activities of the Company customers and suppliers and could also impact the availability and cost of the capital and financing sources that are required by the Company, mainly for purposes of supporting its continued business growth.

B. The Coronavirus and broad global impacts on raw-material prices and the supply chain – for details regarding the impacts of the global trends that started against the background of the Coronavirus crisis and the Company's estimate regarding the continuation and scope thereof on the Group's activities, if any – see Section 3.1B to the Report of the Board of Directors for 2022.

3.2 Activities in Israel

C. Update of the electricity tariffs in the period of the report, including the brackets of the demand hours –

Commencing from January 2023, as well as during 2022, a number of updates of the Electricity Authority of the electricity tariff and the generation component entered into effect. For additional details – see Sections 7.2.3 and 7.10 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2022.

Set forth below is data regarding the weighted-average annual generation component (the prices are denominated in kilowatt hours):

Period 2023 2022 Change
January–June average 30.66 27.77 +10%
April–June average 30.39 27.99 +9%

For additional details regarding the updates made and the circumstances thereof – see Section 3.2C to the Report of the Board of Directors for 2022. It is noted that the results of the Group's activities in Israel are materially impacted by changes in the electricity generation component tariff, in such a manner that an increase in the electricity generation component has a positive impact on the Group's result, and vice-versa.

Update of the brackets of the demand hours

In August 2022, the Electricity Authority published a decision to revise, the time of use (TOU) demand categories (brackets) for purposes of adjusting the structure of the load and time tariffs (TOAZ) for a significant integration of solar energy and storage. For additional details – see Section 3.2C of the Report of the Board of Directors for 2022. Based on the decision, the updated tariff structure entered into effect at the beginning of 2023.

3.2 Activities in Israel (Cont.)

C. Update of the electricity tariffs in the period of the report, including the brackets of the demand hours – (Cont.)

As stated in the Periodic Report for 2022, update of the demand-hours categories has a negative impact on the Group's results, as detailed in Sections 4 and 5 below, this mainly in light of the consumption profile of the Group's customers (which are mostly industrial and commercial customers), which is usually low consumption volatility in the daytime hours, compared with the consumption profile of households that is reflected in the tariffs and arrangements determined in the update with reference to the low-level and peak hours. In the Company's estimation, the annual scope of the negative impact on its activities in Israel is estimated at about NIS 35 million6 . In addition, a change in the demand brackets changes the seasonal breakdown of the Company's revenues and income in Israel over the year in such a manner that it significantly increases the summer months (June– September), mainly the third quarter at the expense of the other quarters – particularly the first quarter, such that the results of the Group's activities in Israel in the period of the report compared with the corresponding period last year were more severely impacted against the background of the seasonal difference, as stated (for additional details – see Sections 4 and 5 below).

D. Supplementary arrangements and granting of a supply license to Rotem – in February 2023, the Electricity Authority published a proposed decision that includes application of benchmarks and granting of a supplier license to Rotem – for additional details – see Section 3.2E of the Report of the Board of Directors for 2022 ("the Proposed Decision"). As at the approval date of the report, a final decision had not yet been published and the arrangements included as part of the Proposed Decision had not yet entered into effect, where to the best of the Company's knowledge, the Electricity Authority is expected to publish a decision regarding the matter. As at the approval date of the report, there is no certainty regarding the final language of the arrangements that will be determined (if ultimately determined) and the scope of their impact. Based on the publication, the Proposed Decision creates uniformity regarding many aspects of the regulation applicable to Rotem with that of the generation facilities that are authorized to execute bilateral transactions, and thus the arrangements should permit Rotem to operate in the energy market in a manner similar to that of the other generation facilities that are authorized to execute bilateral transactions. In addition, as stated in Section 7.15.5.1 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2022, in the Company's estimation arrangements as stated in the proposed decision are expected to settle certain disputes between Rotem and the System Operator. Accordingly, to the extent an arrangement is not determined regarding Rotem, as stated, and/or a different arrangement is determined or an arrangement that does not include granting a supply license to Rotem, Rotem will be required to settle the disputes with the System Operator, as stated, and as at the approval date of the report, prior to the regulation having been clarified. the Company is not able to estimate the impact of the said disputes on Rotem's activities7.

For additional details regarding developments of the Group's activities in Israel – see Sections 6 and 10 below.

6 For additional details – see Sections 7.2.4 and 7.10.2 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2022. That stated in this Section with reference to the impacts of the update to the hourly demand brackets constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, 1968 which is based on the Company's estimates and assumptions as at the date of the report and regarding which there is no certainty it will materialize. Ultimately, the impact could be different than that stated, this being due to, among other things, the Company's estimates with respect to the consumption profile not materializing, the manner of its distribution and/or the actual mix of the customers and/or occurrence of one or more of the risk factors the Company is subject to.

7 For additional details – see Section 7.3.18.5 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2022.

Based on Day-Ahead prices as published by the relevant ISO. It is clarified that the actual electricity prices of the power plants of the CPV Group could be significantly different.

The decrease in the electricity prices in the period of the report and in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the corresponding periods last year, as shown by the above table, corresponds to the trend of decreasing natural gas prices.

3.3 Activities in the U.S. (Cont.)

G. Electricity margin in the operating markets of the CPV Group (Spark Spread)

The electricity margin (Spark Spread) is the difference between the price of the electricity in the relevant market and the price of the natural gas used for its generation. The electricity margin is calculated based on the following formula:

Electricity margin (\$/MWh) = price of the electricity (\$/MWh) – [the gas price (\$/MMBtu) x thermal conversion ratio (MMBtu/MWh)]

Set forth below are the average electricity margins (Spark Spread) for each of the main markets in the power plants of the CPV Group are operating (the prices are denominated in dollars per megawatt/hour)*:

* Based on Day-Ahead prices as shown in the above tables, with a discount for the thermal conversion ratio (heat rate) of 6.9 MMBtu/MWh for Maryland, Shore and Valley, and a thermal conversion ratio of 6.5 MMBtu/MWh for Towantic and Fairview. It is clarified that the actual energy margins of the power plants of the CPV Group could be significantly different.

The decrease in the electricity margins (Spark Spread) in the period of the report and in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the corresponding periods last year, as shown by the above table, corresponds to the trend of decreasing natural gas prices. Nonetheless, the decline in the electricity margins in the regions wherein the power plants of the CPV Group are operating was more moderate in light of the decrease in the supply for generation of electricity against the background of closing of power plants (mainly power plants powered by coal) and limited new supply of power plants (including those using renewable energy) along with an increase in the demand for electricity.

3. Main Developments in the Business Environment (Cont.)

3.3 Activities in the U.S. (Cont.)

H. Capacity payments

Capacity is a payment component that is paid by regulatory bodies that manage demand and loads (system operators) for electricity generators, with respect to their ability to generate energy at the required times for purposes of reliability of the system. This payment component is an additional component, separate and apart from the component based on the energy prices (which is paid in respect of sale of the electricity). Definition of the payment component, as stated, including entitlement to a payment for seeing to availability of the electricity, including provisions regarding bonus or penalty payments, are governed by the tariffs determined by the FERC of every market. Accordingly, NY-ISO, PJM and ISO-NE publish mandatory public tenders for determination of the capacity tariffs.

It is noted that, in the nature of things, an increase in the capacity prices favorably impacts CPV's results, and vice-versa. The impact on the overall results changes as a function of the energy margins, which impacts the essential payment component for generation of the electricity and the sale thereof – this being taking into account that the weight of the capacity payments is usually lower than the sale of the electricity component.

PJM market

In the PJM market, the capacity payments vary between the market's sub-regions, as a function of local supply and demand and transmission capabilities.

It is noted that, in the nature of things, an increase in the capacity prices favorably impacts CPV's results, and vice-versa. The impact on the overall results changes as a function of the energy margins, which impacts the essential payment component for generation of the electricity and the sale thereof – this being taking into account that the weight of the capacity payments is usually lower than the sale of the electricity component.

The Group's activities in Israel and the United States are subject to seasonal fluctuations (for additional details regarding seasonal impacts – see Sections 7.10 and 8.7 to Part A of the Periodic Report for 2022 and Section 3.2C above).

In Israel, the TOAZ tariffs are supervised (controlled) and published by the Electricity Authority. For details regarding a decision to update the hourly demand categories of the TOAZ commencing from January 1, 2023 – see Section 3.2C above and Section 7.2.4 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2022. Update of the hourly demand brackets changes the breakdown of the Company's revenues over the quarters in such a manner that it increases the summer months (and mainly the third quarter) at the expense of the other quarters, and particularly the first quarter.

In the United States, the electricity tariffs are not supervised (controlled) and are impacted by the demand for electricity, which is generally high in the summer and the winter compared with the average and they are materially impacted by the natural gas prices. In 2023, the winter season was warmer than usual in such a manner that had a negative impact on the electricity margins relative to the average for this season, as detailed in Section 3.3 above.

Provision of Services
For the
Six Months Ended
June 30
Board's Explanations
2023 2022
Cost of sales in Israel
Natural gas and diesel oil 286 223 The increase stems mainly from an increase in the gas expenses, in the
amount of about NIS 32 million, deriving from an increase in the natural
gas tariff as a result of an increase in the generation component and the
shekel/dollar exchange rate, the amount of about NIS 45 million deriving
from an increase in the quantity of the gas consumed against the
background of maintenance work at the Rotem and Hadera power plants
in the corresponding period last year, and an increase of about NIS 19
million due to consolidation of the results of Gat for the first time in the
second quarter of 2023. On the other hand, there was a decrease in the
gas expenses, in the amount of about NIS 32 million, deriving from entry
of the Energean agreement into effect commencing from the second
quarter of 2023 (of which about NIS 18 million stemming from a
contractual monetary amount that Rotem and Hadera are entitled to from
Energean that was recognized in the first quarter, as described in
Note 8A(3) to the Interim Statements).
Expenses in respect of acquisition of energy 126 162 A decrease, in the amount of about NIS 81 million, against the
background of maintenance work at the Rotem and Hadera power plants
in the corresponding period last year, offset by an increase, in the
amount of about NIS 48 million, deriving from an increase in
consumption by customers in the period of the report.
Expenses in respect of infrastructure services 235 144 The increase stems mainly from an increase in the infrastructure tariff and
an increase in customer consumption, in the amounts of about NIS 54
million and about NIS 29 million, respectively, and an increase of about
NIS 8 million due to consolidation of Gat for the first time in the second
quarter of 2023.

(3) Changes in the financing expenses, net

The increase in the net financing expenses stems mainly from the following items: (A) in the corresponding period last year, revenues were recognized from exchange rate differences, in the amount of about NIS 70 million, in respect of revaluation of intercompany shekel loans that were provided by the Company to the Group companies in the U.S., which based on their activities is the dollar. It is noted that commencing from October 1, 2022, the said loans were reclassified as part of the Group's net investment in the U.S. and starting from this date, the exchange rate differences are recorded to other comprehensive income as part of the translation reserve; (B) in the period of the report interest expenses were recorded, in the amount of about NIS 16 million, in respect of project loans of Gat and Mountain Wind, which were consolidated for the first time in the second quarter of 2023 (for details – see Notes 7A(1) and 7A(2) to the Interim Statements); and (C) in the period of the report financing expenses were recognized, in the amount of about NIS 6 million, in respect of deferred consideration for acquisition of the Gat power plant, which was recognized at its present value on the acquisition date (for details – see Note 6A(1) to the Interim Financial Statements).

On the other hand, there was an increase in interest income on deposits, in the amount of about NIS 16 million.

B. EBITDA, FFO and net cash flows after service of the project debt

1. EBITDA indices

  • "EBITDA in the consolidated statements": net income (loss) for the period before depreciation and amortization, net financing expenses or income, taxes on income and other income (expenses), net.
  • "EBITDA after proportionate consolidation": "EBITDA in the consolidated statements" after eliminating the share in the income (losses) of associated companies and after a proportionate consolidation of the EBITDA of the associated companies based on the rate of holdings of the CPV Group therein.
  • "Adjusted EBITDA after proportionate consolidation: "EBITDA" after adjustments in respect of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments and items that are not in the ordinary course of the Group's business and/or that are of a non-recurring nature (for details regarding adjustments in the period – Section F below).
    1. FFO the Company defines FFO (Funds From Operations) as cash flows from operating activities for the period (including changes in the working capital) less investments in property, plant and equipment and periodic maintenance costs that are not included in the current operating activities and less net interest payments.
    1. Net cash flows after service of the project debt the Company defines net cash flows after service of the project debt for the period as FFO after adjustments in respect of payment of principal on project loans, and change in other credit from banks and change in restricted cash and deposits (including for securing transactions hedging electricity margins).

The said indices are not recognized in accordance with IFRS as indices for measurement of financial performance and may not be considered as a substitute for gross profit and operating income, cash flows from operating activities or other terms of operating or liquidity indices that are provided in the IFRS standards.

It is noted that EBITDA indices are not intended to represent an approximate of the free cash flows from the Group's operating activities, or to represent cash available for distribution as dividend or for other uses (particularly in light of the provisions of the project financing agreements for some of the Group's power plants), since these amounts will most likely be used for debt service, capital investments, working capital and other liabilities. Moreover, the EBITDA indices are characterized by limitations that negatively impact the use thereof as indices for analysis of the Company's profitability, since they do not take into account certain revenues and expenses deriving from the Company's business, which could have a significant impact on its net profit or loss, such as, depreciation expenses, financing expenses or income and taxes on income.

The Company believes that the data relating to adjusted EBITDA after proportionate consolidation and FFO12 provide useful and transparent information to investors when reviewing the Company's operating performances and its current operating cash flows and when comparing these performances to performances of other companies in the same sector or in other industries (having different capital structures, different levels of debt and/or different income tax rates) and when comparing performances between periods. It is noted that the adjusted EBITDA after proportionate consolidation also serves the Company's management when reviewing the Company's performances.

12 It is noted that other companies might define the EBITDA and FFO indices differently.

14 Not including a deduction of amounts paid in respect of loans from shareholders of Rotem before the Veridis transaction (see Note 6B(2) of the financial statements) and intercompany taxes paid for power plants in the consolidated tax reconciliation statement.

15 The financial results of the Zomet power plant were included starting from the commercial operation date, June 22, 2023.

16 The financial results of the projects were included starting from the initial consolidation date in the second quarter of 2023. The estimated EBITDA for a full calendar year of the Mountain Wind project in the period of the PPA agreements is about NIS 45 million (about \$13 million). That stated above with reference to the estimated EBITDA for a full calendar year constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on estimates of the CPV Group as at the date of the report and regarding which there is no certainty it will materialize. That stated might be impacted by, among other things, changes in the PPA agreements, operating factors (including breakdowns or wind conditions), changes in financing or in the energy market or regulatory factors or as a result of occurrence of one or more of the risk factors to which the CPV Group is exposed.

17 The FFO in the period of the report includes a payment of about NIS 8 million for significant planned maintenance work that was performed at Gat in the first quarter of 2023.

18 The FFO in the period of the report includes a payment in respect of the project for upgrade of facilities of the Maryland power plant, in the amount of about NIS 8 million.

19 The FFO in the period of the report includes a payment, in the amount of about NIS 17 million, in respect of significant planned maintenance work performed at Shore in the period of the report.

20 It is noted that the financing agreements of the CPV Group including mechanisms of the "cash sweep" type in the framework of which all or part of the free cash flows from the project is designated for repayment of the loan principal on a current basis plus the predetermined minimum repayment schedule with respect to every long-term loan. Accordingly, there could be an acceleration of execution of repayments upon occurrence of certain events and there are limitations on distributions to the owners. For additional details – see Section 9 below.

C. Analysis of the change in adjusted EBITDA – Israel segment

Set forth below is an analysis of the change in adjusted EBITDA in Israel in the period of the report compared with the corresponding period last year (in NIS millions):

    1. Energy margin the decrease in the energy margin in the period of the report compared with the corresponding period last year stems mainly from an increase in the sales of energy, in the amount of about NIS 14 million, as a result of an increase of consumption on the part of consumers and an increase, in the amount of about NIS 54 million. On the other hand, there was an increase in the natural gas prices as a result of the strengthening of the dollar against the shekel, in the amount of about NIS 21 million, net, from a decline in the price of natural gas, in the amount of about NIS 14 million, as a result of entry into effect of the Energean agreement starting from the end of the first quarter of 2023 (it is noted that in the Company's estimation, upon commercial operation of the Karish reserve, an annual monetary savings is expected estimated at about NIS 60 million based on the average forecasted gas consumption of Rotem and Hadera21). In addition, there has been a decline in the revenues due to the revision of the hourly demand brackets, in the aggregate amount of about NIS 68 million, of which, in the Company's estimation, about NIS 33 million will be returned in 2023 (about NIS 61 million of which in the third quarter of 2023) such that the total expected impact for 2023 is a decrease in revenues of about NIS 35 million. For additional details – see Section 3.2(C).
    1. Availability due to maintenance work during the corresponding period last year, the Rotem and Hadera power plants were shut down for different periods of time for purposes of maintenance work, which had a negative impact on their results compared with the period of the report. For additional details – see Section 4C(3) to the Report of the Board of Directors for 2022.
    1. One-time events in the first quarter of 2023, Rotem and Hadera recognized a contractual monetary amount it is entitled to from Energean, in the aggregate amount of about NIS 18 million further to amendment of the agreements from May 2022. The said amount is expected to be received in the beginning of 2024. For additional details – see Note 8A (3) to the Interim Statements.

21 The Company's estimates of the expected monetary savings upon the commercial operation of the Karish reserve is "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on the Company's estimates, assessments and plans proximate to the publication date of the report. The said data, estimates and assessments might not materialize or could change during the relevant period due to a range of circumstances that are not under the Company's control, including operating factors, changes in the actual consumption of electricity and gas, changes in foreign currency, and/or occurrence of one or more of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.

D. Analysis of the change in adjusted EBITDA after proportionate consolidation – energy transition segment in the U.S.

Set forth below is an analysis of the change in the adjusted EBITDA after proportionate consolidation in the energy transition segment in the U.S. in the period of the report compared with the corresponding period last year (in millions of NIS):

    1. Energy margin and availability (capacity) payments as stated in Section 3.3F above, in the period of the report there was a significant decline in the energy margins compared with the corresponding period last year, and correspondingly there was a decline, in the amount of about NIS 156 million, in the electricity margins of the CPV Group (on the assumption of full capacity). In addition, as detailed in Section 3.3H above regarding the availability tariffs, there was a decrease, in the amount of about NIS 17 million, in the availability payments in the period of the report compared with the corresponding period last year.
    1. Energy hedges22 the said decrease in the electricity margins was offset, in the aggregate amount of about NIS 188 million compared with the corresponding period last year, due to hedges of the energy margin that were made in 2022 and that were realized at a gain in the period of the report, and hedges made in 2021 that were realized at a loss in the corresponding period last year. For details regarding energy hedges for the balance of 2023 and 2024 – see Section E below.
    1. Availability due to maintenance work most of the increase stems from maintenance work at the Valley and Towantic power plants in the corresponding period last year. For additional details – see Section 8.8 of the Company's Periodic Report for 2022.

22 For details relating to the risk management policies in the CPV Group, and particularly with reference to hedging of part of the electricity margins – see Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for 2022.

4. Results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 (in millions of NIS) (Cont.)

E. Additional details regarding electricity hedges and guaranteed availability payments in the Energy Transition segment in the U.S.23

As part of its risk management policy, the CPV Group is in the practice, from time to time, of entering into hedging agreements, which assure the electricity margins. In addition, the availability payments for the nominal capacity of the power plants running on natural gas (that are held through associated companies) are determined for certain future periods, as detailed in Section 3.3H above. For details regarding the manner of provision of collaterals by the CPV Group in respect of the hedging agreements – see Section 4D(5) of the Report of the Board of Directors for 2022.

Set forth below is the scope of the hedging for the rest of 2023 (in respect of July as at the date of the report and for August through December as at July 31, 2023) and 2024 (the data presented in the tables above is on the basis of the rate of holdings of the CPV Group in the associated companies):

C. Analysis of the change in adjusted EBITDA – segment in Israel

Set forth below is an analysis of the change in adjusted EBITDA in Israel in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the corresponding quarter last year (in NIS millions):

    1. Energy margin the increase in energy margin in the period of the report compared with the corresponding period last year stems mainly from an increase, in the amount of about NIS 15 million, as a result of an increase in the generation tariff, and from an increase in sales of energy, in the amount of about NIS 4 million, due to an increase in customer consumption. In addition, there was a decrease in the natural gas prices, in the amount of about NIS 14 million, due to entry of the Energean agreement into effect, starting from the end of the first quarter of 2023, while on the other hand there was an increase in the prices of natural gas due to the strengthening of the dollar against the shekel, in the amount of about NIS 7 million.
    1. Availability due to maintenance work during the corresponding quarter last year, the Rotem and Hadera power plants were shut down for different periods of time for purposes of maintenance work, which had a negative impact on their results in the second quarter of 2022. For additional details – see Section 4C(3) to the Report of the Board of Directors for 2022.

Energy transition segment

Set forth below is an analysis of the change in the adjusted EBITDA after proportionate consolidation in the energy transition segment in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the corresponding quarter last year (in millions of NIS):

    1. Energy margin and capacity payments as stated in Section 3.3H above, in the second quarter of 2023 there was a decrease in the energy margins, compared with the corresponding quarter last year, and correspondingly there was a decline, in the amount of about NIS 58 million, in the electricity margins of the CPV Group (on the assumption of full capacity). In addition, in this quarter there was a decrease, in the amount of about NIS 8 million, in the availability payments compared with the corresponding quarter last year (for details regarding the availability tariffs – see Section 3.3H above).
    1. Energy hedges the said decrease in the electricity margins in some of the power plants was offset, in the amount of about NIS 60 million, compared with the corresponding quarter last year, due to hedges made during 2021 that were realized at a loss in the corresponding quarter last year. For details regarding energy hedges for the balance of 2023 and 2024 – see Section 4E above.
  • Availability – most of the increase stems from planned maintenance work at the Towantic power plant that was performed in the corresponding quarter last year.

41 The project signed an electricity supply agreement with a local utility company for a period of 30 years from the start of the commercial operation for supply of all the electricity expected to be generated by the project in the said period. In addition, the project contracted with a global company for sale of 100% of the solar renewable energy certificates and hedge of the electricity price with a fixed price for a period of 20 years from the start of the commercial operation.

42 In the estimation of the CPV Group, the project is expected to sign an agreement with a tax partner in a PTC format, where the amount of about \$43 million out of the amount stated is expected to be received on the commercial operation date of the project and the balance over a period of 10 years. In projects that are entitled to tax benefits of the PTC type, the Company's estimate regarding the scope of the investment of the tax partner is based on the provisions of the IRA law and customary calculations in the agreements with the tax partner, a tax benefit for every KW/hr. of generation, and does not depend on the expected cost of the investment (and does not depend on the initiation fees and reimbursement of pre-construction development expenses). The estimate of the CPV Group regarding the expectation of contracting with a tax partner, including the PTC format for the undertaking, is "forward-looking" information within the meaning thereof in the Securities Law, which is based on data, estimates, assessments and plans of the Company proximate to the publication date of the report. The estimates might not materialize or might change due to a range of circumstances, including changes in the provisions of the law or regulations and locating a tax partner that will wish to contract with the project, which are not dependent on the Company and there is no certainty regarding their realization.

For details regarding the commercial operation of the Three Rivers project subsequent to the date of the Report – see Section 10A below.

43 The project has signed a connection agreement and electricity supply agreement with the global e-commerce company for a period of 10 years from the start of the commercial operation, for supply of 90% of the electricity expected to be generated by the project in the said period, and sale of solar renewable energy certificates, which is valid up to 2035. The balance of the project's capacity (10%) will be used for supply to active customers, retail supply of electricity of the CPV Group or for sale in the market.

44 The project is located on a former coal mine and, therefore, it is expected to be entitled to enlarged tax benefits of 40% in accordance with the IRA Law. The CPV Group intends to act to sign an agreement with a tax partner (Equity Tax) in respect of about 40% of the cost of the project and use of the tax credits that are available to the project (subject to appropriate regulatory arrangements), such that the net cost of the investment is estimated as about NIS 0.5 billion. The intention of the CPV Group to sign an agreement with a tax partner (equity tax), including the scope thereof and/or the scope of the tax benefits, includes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, which based on estimates, assessments and plans of the CPV Group proximate to the date of the report and regarding which there is no certainty they will materialize (in whole or in part). The said estimates and assessment might not materialize or might change due to a range of circumstances, including changes in the provisions of the law or regulations and locating a tax partner that will wish to contract with the project, which are not dependent on the Company and there is no certainty regarding their realization.

10. Additional Events in the Company's Areas of Activity in the Period of the Report and Thereafter

Activities in Israel

A. Win in a tender of Israel Lands Authority for construction of facilities for generation of electricity using renewable energy in Israel

On May 10, 2023, the Group was announced as a winner in a tender of Israel Lands Authority for planning and an option to acquire lease rights in land for construction of facilities for generation of electricity using renewable energy using photovoltaic technology together with storage with respect to three sites in the area of the Local Industrial Council of Naot Hovav, with a cumulative scope of about 2,270 dunams. The Group's bids in the tender amount, in the aggregate, to about NIS 484 million for the three sites. In light of proximity of the sites to each other, the Group intends to advance construction of a project for generation of electricity using photovoltaic technology on the sites that are the subject of the tender with a cumulative capacity of about 245 megawatts plus storage capacity estimated at a capacity of about 1,375 megawatts per hour (hereinafter in this Section – "the Project").

Pursuant to the Company's initial estimate, the proximity of the sites that are the subject of the win to each other should allow a continuous project in such a manner that will lead to savings on costs and streamlining the development processes. In the Group's estimation, the total cost of the three projects (including the land) is estimated at about NIS 2.2 billion to about NIS 2.4 billion, and in this preliminary stage, subject to completion of all the development processes and receipt of the required approvals, the project will reach the construction stage in the first half of 202653.

According to the terms of the tender, subsequent to the date of the report an additional amount was paid, such that the total amount paid constitutes 20% of the total amount of the consideration for the three above-mentioned sites54. It is noted that the amount paid, as stated, will not be returned to the winner even if the development and planning processes of the project do not ripen into an approved plan and signing of a long-term lease agreement.

  • 53 That stated above regarding the characteristics and the capacity of the solar facilities and the storage capacity, the estimated cost of the projects, the feasibility for advancement of the project as a single (combined) project and the resulting cost savings, the commencement date of the construction of the project/s, the regulation that will apply to the facilities, the Company's activities in the renewable area, and obtaining of the government's consent include "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, 1968, which is based on the Company's estimates and assumptions as at the date of the report, regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized or the manner of its realization. As at the submission date of the report, construction of the facilities and advancement of the project/s depends on completion of the planning processes, construction, connection to the network (grid), licensing, and regulatory conditions, approval of the plan (which is expected to include, among other things, examination of planning, environmental, security, planning of connection to the grid and transmission capability, including examination of objections of various parties), contracting with relevant suppliers and assurance of financing for the construction, which as at the date of the report has not yet been completed and there is no certainty regarding the completion thereof or the manner of the said completion (if completed). Ultimately, there could be administrative, planning, environmental, regulatory, infrastructure, operating delays / problems and/or cost increases – this being, among other things, due to factors not under the Company's control, or as a result of the occurrence of one or more of the risk factors to which the Company is exposed.
  • 54 As at the approval date of the report, the authorization agreement for planning between Israel Lands Administration and the winner had not yet been received after being signed by Israel Lands Authority. If a new plan is not approved in accordance with law within 3 years, Israel Lands Authority will be permitted to extend the development authorization for an additional year. An extension as stated involves additional consideration at the rate of 2.5% of the amount of the winning bid, plus VAT, linked to the CPI.

A. Win in a tender of Israel Lands Authority for construction of facilities for generation of electricity using renewable energy in Israel (Cont.)

It is noted that further to the winner's contact to the Planning Administration for receipt of a plan recommendation for purposes of its consent to submit a National Infrastructure Plan for a photovoltaic facility for the sites, as stated, a notification of the Planning Administration was sent to the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructures whereby an initial plan examination indicates that the sites requested for construction of the project meet the conditions for location of a photovoltaic power plant1 . Accordingly, it was recommended to the Ministry to continue to examine the requested sites as part of advancement of the National Infrastructure Plan by the National Infrastructure Board.

For additional details regarding the tender and the payment terms included therein – see Note 10G to the Interim Statements.

The win in the tender is part of realization of the Group's strategy and targets for expansion of its activities in the area of generation and supply of electricity in Israel, in general, and in the area of renewable energy, in particular (as stated in Section 17.2 Part A of the Periodic Report for 2022) and constitutes a significant foothold in the area of generation of solar energy and storage in Israel. At the same time, the Group is advancing undertakings with consumers in Israel in agreements for supply of electricity and energy from renewable sources (including storage).

As at the approval date of the report, there is no certainty that the approvals and the required consents for development of the project will be completed with respect to any of the sites.

B. Receipt of approval for commercial operation for the Zomet power plant – further to that stated in Section 7.1.2 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2022, on June 22, 2023, the commercial operation of the Zomet power plant commenced. Pursuant to the decision of the Electricity Authority published on June 21, 2023, the Electricity Authority decided to grant a permanent electricity generation license ("the License") to the Zomet power plant using conventional technology in an open cycle, with a capacity of about 396 megawatts. The License is for a period of 20 years (with a possibility for extension subject to the decision of the Electricity Authority). The total construction cost of Zomet amounted about NIS 1.4 billion (without the amount of the assessment issued by Israel Lands Authority, in the amount of about NIS 200 million, as detailed in Note 11B to the financial statements for 2022). Pursuant to the generation license, Zomet is entitled to receive an availability tariff from the System Operator, as at the date of the report of between 5.7 and 6.5 agurot per kilowatt hour56, subject to the number of ignitions. In addition, Zomet is entitled to an electricity and gas tariff based on the generation and purchase cost and pursuant to the terms of the generation license and Regulation 914 of the Electricity Authority57.

55 Based on the relevant government decision and upon making certain adjustments to the area of the sites.

56 The tariff is linked to various indices: the CPI (primarily), the exchange rate of the dollar and a tariff of fixed costs of INGL. It is noted that in 2023 only the availability tariff will be reduced by about 36%.

Agreement for sale of electricity (PPA) with Bazan – further to that stated in Section 7.6.2 of the Company's Periodic Report for 2022 regarding an agreement of Rotem for sale of electricity (PPA) to Bazan, in May 2023, new PPA agreements were signed between Rotem and Bazan for supply of electricity to the consumption facilities of the Bazan Group ("the PPA Agreements" or "the Undertaking") for a maximum scope of 125 megawatt/hour. Supply of the electricity is in exchange for a payment equal to the TAOZ (load time) high-voltage tariff determined from time to time by the Electricity Authority and less a discount on the generation component in accordance with the rates and arrangements detailed in the agreement. The period of the agreement is ten years, commencing from July 2023 (upon conclusion of the present agreement as stated in above-mentioned Periodic Report), subject to grounds for early termination59, along with graduated exit points commencing after the passage of 5 years from the commencement date of the supply and pursuant to the provisions agreed to. As part of the Undertaking, additional provisions were included that are customary in PPA agreements of this type, among other things, regarding consumption in excess of the maximum quantity, a commitment for availability of the power plant and supply of the electricity from different sources.

In addition, as part of the Undertaking provisions were included regarding supply of electricity in the scope of about 50 megawatts from renewable energy generation facilities in a graduated manner, starting from January 2025 and in accordance with the dates stipulated60, and "green certificates"61 subject to ceilings and the conditions agreed to. The arrangements in respect of supply of the electricity based on generation from renewable energy constitute part of the Company's strategy to expand its activities in the area of renewable energy and supply of electricity from renewable energy sources in Israel.

58 The Company's estimate regarding the additional EBITDA of the Zomet power plant constitutes "forward-looking" information within the meaning thereof in the Securities Law, 1968, which is based on data, estimates, assessments and plans of the Company regarding the characteristics of the power plant that are in the Company's possession proximate to the publication date of the report. These data items, estimates and assessments may not materialize or could change during the relevant period due to a range of circumstances that are not under the Company's control, including changes in the provisions of law or regulations, unforeseen expenses, technical, operational or other malfunctions, defects in the system, changes in the system cost and changes in the scope of the consumption or operation, which do not depend on the Company and regarding which there is no certainty they will occur.

59 Including, non-compliance with the commitments (including, as stated, with reference to supply of renewable energy sources), license cancellation, construction of a generation facility using natural gas by Bazan above a certain capacity, and etc. – all of this subject to the provisions determined.

60 Subject to entry into effect of the decision of the Electricity Authority regarding regulation of the activities of generation and storage facilities that are connected to or integrated in the distribution network (grid).

D. Tender for sale of Eshkol as part of the reform of Israel Electric Company (IEC)62 – on May 22, 2023, the Group submitted, through a joint designated company held in equal shares by OPC Power Plants Ltd. (a subsidiary that is held at the rate of 80% (indirectly) by the Company) and a company held by the Noy Fund ("OPC Eshkol") a bid for acquisition of the Eshkol power plant, in the framework of a tender of Israel Electric Company. The tender includes acquisition of a number of generation units that operate using conventional technology (natural gas) with a cumulative capacity of about 1,680 megawatts63, and the possibility to construct additional capacity of 600 megawatts to 850 megawatts64 based on regulations of the Electricity Authority, for the Eshkol site that is located in the Ashdod area. In order to secure the bid, the shareholders of OPC Eshkol (each one based on its proportionate share) provided a bank guarantee, in the aggregate amount of NIS 100 million65.

On June 15, 2023, a notification was delivered to the Company whereby the Tenders Board announced that the bid of Eshkol Power Energies Ltd. ("Eshkol Energies") is the winning bid in the tender and OPC Eshkol was declared as the "second qualifier" pursuant to the tender documents.

After the winner did not complete signing of the purchaser agreement for the consideration it offered in the tender, on July 19, 2023, IEC gave notice of cancellation of the tender and of its decision to hold a new competitive process between the bidders that submitted bids in the tender (and that based on the report IEC published includes a minimum price of NIS 9 billion), in accordance with the terms and dates published in the documents of the said competitive process.

The Company objects to cancellation of the tender and the competitive process decided on by IEC, and believes that these steps are contrary to law. According to the position of the Company and its legal advisors, once the winner in the tender did not meet its obligation to realize its win in accordance with its original bid in the tender, IEC must declare OPC Eshkol (which was declared as the "second qualifier") as the winner in the tender.

65 Which based on the tender will be updated to NIS 200 million in a case of announcement of a win in the tender.

62 For additional details – see Section 7.2.11.2 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2022.

63 Out of this capacity, steam units on the site with a cumulative capacity of about 912 megawatts, are expected to discontinue their activities within 3 – 6 years, while the other units are expected to operate based on a license for a period of 20 years.

64 The possibility of constructing the additional capacity is subject to the existence of additional conditions, among others, approval of the site plan for construction of the additional capacity (which as at the approval date of the report there is no certainty regarding their ultimate existence of the timing of their occurrence).

Accordingly, as at the publication date of the report, OPC Eshkol requested from IEC to cancel the decision to cancel the tender and to hold a competitive process, and after this was rejected, on August 9, 2023, OPC Eshkol filed an administrative petition with the Court for Administrative Matters in Tel-Aviv, as part of which it is seeking, among other things, the following main relief: (A) to cancel the decision of the Tenders Committee regarding cancellation of the tender and with respect to a new competitive process in its place; (B) to instruct the Tenders Committee not to sell the Eshkol power plant not in accordance with the tender; (C) to declare OPC Eshkol, which was declared as the "second qualifier", as the winner in the tender, in place of Eshkol Power Energies Ltd.; (D) to require Israel Electric Company (IEC) to sign a purchase contract with OPC Eshkol for the subject matter of the tender. Alternatively, OPC Eshkol requests to cancel the cancellation and pricing decision and to instruct the Tenders Committee to hold a hearing with a different composition; or alternatively to the said relief OPC Eshkol seeks to determine that Eshkol Energies will not be able to take part in any process for acquisition of the Eshkol power plant and to determine that the additional process that will be held (if held), without Eshkol Energies, will not include the minimum price that was set in the cancellation and pricing decision, as stated above (the source of which is an "updated bid" of Eshkol Energies that was delivered after the results of the above-mentioned tender were determined, which is a new bid and disqualified pursuant to the Company's position).

At the same time, upon filing the petition OPC Eshkol submitted a request for issuance of orders whereby it requests, among other things, issuance of an order delaying advancement of actions that thwart clarification of the petition, including any action in the framework of the said competitive process. In August 2023, the Court determined that up to the time of another decision, the date for submission of bids in the competitive process is extended, and it extended the dates for submitting the response of the defendants and scheduled the hearing for September 5, 2023.

Pursuant to the proposal, the regulation will require large electricity generation facilities operating using natural gas with an output coefficient of more than 50% to integrate burning of hydrogen with natural gas or, alternatively, carbon capture technology – this being commencing from 2032 or 2035, respectively. As at the approval date of the report, the said proposal, is not final and will be subject to comments of the public and a thorough examination process. In CPV's estimation, the proposed plan could undergo significant changes before its potential application in 2024.

The development portfolio of the CPV Group, which includes wind energy and solar projects, in a scope of more than 3 GW and two natural gas power plants with carbon capture in a scope of about 9 GW, will enjoy significant tailwinds from the regulation. In addition, in the estimation of the CPV Group, its natural gas power plants have a significant competitive advantage, in light of their high efficiency and their ability to integrate carbon capture and to integrate hydrogen.

K. Receipt of approval for commercial operation of the Three Rivers power plant

Subsequent to the date of the report, in July 2023, the commercial operation period of the Three Rivers power plant. The power plant has a capacity of about 1,258 megawatts, utilizing conventional technology in an integrated cycle, which is located in the State of Illinois, U.S., and operates in the PJM market. The total construction cost of the project amounted to about NIS 4.8 billion (about \$1.3 billion). The CPV Group holds the project at the rate of 10%.

11. Debentures (Series B) and (Series C)

In the period of the report, there were no significant changes in the details of the outstanding debentures issued by the Company and that were offered to the public pursuant to a prospectus, the details of the trustees for the debentures, the conditions for call the debentures for immediate repayment, compliance on the part of the Company with these conditions and the collaterals for the debentures, as detailed in Section 11 to the Report of the Board of Directors for 2022 and in Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for 2022.

As at the date of the report, the Company is in compliance with all the conditions of the Company's debentures (Series B and Series C) and the trust certificates. The Company was not required to take any action in accordance with the request of the trustees for the said debentures.

For additional details – regarding the rating of the Company published subsequent to the date of the report – see Section 9C above.

12. Impacts of changes in the macro-economic environment on the Group's activities and its results

Changes in the macro-economic environment, which are characterized by high rates of inflation, strengthening of the dollar against the shekel and rising interest rates, could impact the Group's activities in different ways, including, an impact on the electricity generation component (and as a result an impact on the Company's natural gas revenues and costs) and other index-linked revenues, an increase in fixed expenses (including wages), maintenance costs, project construction costs – both in Israel and in the U.S., equipment acquisition costs and financing expenses in respect of loans and debentures the Group companies are liable for that bear variable interest and/or are linked to the CPI. In addition, an increase in the interest rate could impact the economic feasibility of projects under construction, the discount rates used for examining impairment of the value of active projects, projects under construction or in the development stage and cash-generating units to which goodwill was allocated, and the fair value of a liability in respect of a profit-sharing plan in the CPV Group. It is noted that changes in the currency exchange rate, particularly the exchange rate of the dollar, also impact the Company.

Set forth below is disclosure regarding impacts of changes in the currency exchange rates, CPI and interest rates on the Group's activities. Taking into account the complexity of an analysis of the impacts of the said factors, particularly since some of them are indirect (and not direct) impacts and the existence of reciprocal relationships between the various macro-economic parameters, the Company is not able to estimate the impacts of the changes in the said macro-economic parameters on the Company's overall results.

Currency (particularly the dollar)

The Group is exposed to changes in the currency exchange rates, particularly the exchange rate of the dollar.

Regarding its activities in Israel, the Company is exposed to a change in the exchange rate of the dollar, directly and indirectly, due to the linkage of a significant part of its revenues to the generation tariff (which is impacted, in part, by changes in the exchange rate of the dollar), while on the other hand acquisitions of the natural gas, some of which are linked to the dollar exchange rate and/or are denominated based on the dollar exchange rate, are also linked to the generation tariff and include dollar floor prices.

Therefore, even though an increase in the rate of the dollar increases the cost of the natural gas purchased by the Company, the structure of the revenues includes a partial natural hedge that reduces the said exposure. Nonetheless, it is pointed out that generally the generation component is updated once a year, and accordingly timing differences are possible between the impact of a rise in the rate of the dollar on the current gas cost and its impact on the Company's gross margin. The said timing differences could have a negative effect on the Company's current profit and cash flows in the short run. In the long run, a rise in the rate of the dollar will lead to an increase in the generation tariff and, in turn, to an increase in the Company's revenues corresponding to the increase in the gas costs, such that a strengthening of the dollar could adversely impact the Company's profits.

In addition, from time to time the Company enters into hedges of the currency exposure in significant construction and maintenance contracts that are denominated in different currencies, particularly the dollar and the euro.

It is noted that from time to time, and based on business considerations and risk-management policies, the Company makes use of forward contracts on the exchange rates.

12. Impacts of changes in the macro-economic environment on the Group's activities and its results (Cont.)

Currency (particularly the dollar) (Cont.)

With reference to the Company's investment in the CPV Group, which operates in the U.S. with a dollar functional currency, in general a fall in the dollar rate has a negative impact on the dollar value of the Company's investment and on the Company's net income and shareholders' equity. On the other hand, due to the need to raise financing in Israel in shekels in order to finance the expected investments in the construction and development projects of the CPV Group, an increase in the dollar could lead to an increase in the financing requirements in order to realize these investments.

Consumer Price Index (CPI) (inflation)

The Group is exposed to changes in the CPI. Regarding its activities in Israel, the Company is exposed to changes in the CPI, directly and indirectly, mainly due to linkage of a significant part of its revenues to the generation component (which is impacted partly by a change in the CPI). On the other hand, purchases of the natural gas are partly linked to the generation tariff and include, as stated, a dollar floor price. Also, part of the Company's capital costs and investments are linked to the CPI, directly or indirectly. Therefore, despite the fact that an increase in the CPI increases the Company's costs and investments, the structure of the revenues includes a natural hedge that reduces the said exposure, such that the Company's profits could be positively affected by an increase in the CPI.

Furthermore, the Company is exposed to changes in the CPI with respect to the terms of the Company's debentures (Series B) and part of Hadera's loans (regarding which hedging transactions were not executed as detailed in Note 23 to the financial statements for 2022). An increase in the CPI increases the Company's liabilities and financing costs. In order to reduce part of the exposure to changes in the CPI with respect to Hadera's loans, in June 2019 the Group entered into transactions with a bank for purposes of hedging part of the exposure to the CPI.

Interest rates

The Group has loans and liabilities bearing variable interest that are based on prime or Libor plus a margin. An increase in the variable interest rates could cause an increase in the Group's financing costs. In addition, an increase in the interest rates could impact the discount rates for projects (active, under construction and in development) and could also lead to a lack of economic feasibility of continued development and/or acquisition of projects and a slowdown in the Company's growth processes, along with an existence of signs of impairment of value of assets and/or recording of impairment losses in the financial statements.

In order to reduce the exposure to changes in the interest rate in Israel (mainly prime), the Group makes use of mix of loans (including credit frameworks) and debentures in such a manner that part of the loans and the debentures bear fixed interest and part of them bear variable interest.

Most of the long-term loans and credit frameworks of the CPV Group (including through associated companies) bear variable interest (mainly Libor) and have cash flow exposure to changes in the interest rates. In order to reduce part of the exposure to interest risk, the CPV Group enters into transactions for swap of variable dollar interest for fixed dollar interest with respect to part of its long-term loans.

For additional details regarding the Group's policies for management of the financial risks and sensitivity analyses – see Note 23 to the financial statements for 2022.

Review Report of the Independent Auditors to the Shareholders of OPC Energy Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – the "Company") and its subsidiaries, including the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at June 30, 2023 and the condensed consolidated interim statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month and three-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and management are responsible for preparing and presenting financial information for these interim periods in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and are also responsible for preparing financial information for these interim periods under Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the financial information for these interim periods based on our review.

Review scope

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 - "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of financial information for interim periods consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially smaller in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might have been identifiable in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the aforementioned financial information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS 34).

In addition to that mentioned in the previous paragraph, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the aforementioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

The accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are an integral part thereof.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL

The Reporting Entity

OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – "the Company") was incorporated in Israel on February 2, 2010. The Company's registered address is 121 Menachem Begin Rd., Tel Aviv, Israel. The Company's controlling shareholder is Kenon Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter - the "Parent Company"), a company incorporated in Singapore, the shares of which are dual-listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (hereinafter - the "TASE").

The Company is a publicly-traded company whose securities are traded on the TASE.

As of the approval date of the report, the Company and its investees (hereinafter - the "Group") are engaged in the generation and supply of electricity and energy through three reportable segments. For further details regarding the Group's operating segments during the reporting period, see Note 27 to the Financial Statements as at December 31, 2022 (hereinafter – the "Annual Financial Statements").

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (hereinafter – "IAS 34") - "Interim Financial Reporting" and do not include all of the information required in complete Annual Financial Statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements. In addition, these financial statements were prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) 1970.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved for publication by the Company's Board of Directors on August 22, 2023.

B. Functional and presentation currency

The New Israeli Shekel (NIS) is the currency that represents the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Accordingly, the NIS is the Company's functional currency. The NIS also serves as the presentation currency in these financial statements. Currencies other than the NIS constitute foreign currency.

C. Use of estimates and judgments

In preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, the Company's management is required to use judgment when making estimates, assessments and assumptions that affect implementation of the policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It is clarified that the actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management's judgment, at the time of implementing the Group's accounting policies and the main assumptions used in the estimates involving uncertainty, are consistent with those used in the Annual Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

D. Reclassification

The Group carried out immaterial classifications in its comparative figures so that their classification will match their classification in the current financial statements.

E. Seasonality

The results of group companies in Israel are based on the generation component, which constitutes part of the energy demand management tariff (hereinafter – the "TAOZ"), which is supervised and published by the Israeli Electricity Authority. Through January 2023, the year was broken down into three seasons: summer (July and August), winter (December, January and February) and "transitional" (March through June and September through November), and for each season a different tariff was set for each demand hour cluster (hereinafter - "DHC"). Two key changes occurred as from January 2023: (1) The cancellation of the mid-peak DHC tariff, on account of the expansion of the number of months of the peak and off-peak DHCs; (2) the summer season was extended to 4 months instead of two months, such that June to September are considered as summer, March to May and October to November are considered as the transitional season, and the winter season did not change. The changes made to the DHCs alters the seasonality aspect of the breakdown of the Company's revenues and profitability in Israel throughout the year, such that it significantly raises them during the summer months, specifically during the third quarter compared with the other quarters - especially the first quarter.

In the USA, the activity of CPV Group is affected by seasonality as a result of variable demand due to, among other things, weather changes in different seasons, gas and electricity prices. In general, with respect to gas-fired power plants, there is higher profitability in seasons where temperatures are at their highest or lowest - usually during summer and winter. Similarly, the profitability of renewable energy production is subject to production volume, which varies based on wind and solar constructions, as well as its electricity price, which tends to be higher in winter, unless there is a fixed contractual price for the project.

NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Group's accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as the policies applied to the Annual Financial Statements.

NOTE 4 – SEGMENT REPORTING

  • A. Further to what is stated in Note 27 to the annual financial statements, during the reporting period there were no changes in the composition of the Group's reportable segments, or in the manner of measuring the results of the segments by the chief operating decision maker.

1. Business combination that took place in the reporting period - acquisition of the Gat Power Plant

Further to what is stated in Note 28D to the annual financial statements regarding the Group's engagement in a transaction for the acquisition of the Gat Power Plant, on March 30, 2023 the transaction was completed, and all rights in the Gat Partnership were transferred to the Group in consideration for NIS 873 million (which is subject to working capital adjustments as is generally accepted in agreements of this type), of which NIS 303 million were used to repay the shareholders' loan, and the remaining balance of NIS 570 million was used to acquire all the rights in the Gat Partnership (of which a total of NIS 300 million constitutes a deferred consideration that will be paid through December 31, 2023). For more information regarding the project financing agreement that was signed on March 30, 2023, and which was used to finance part of the consideration as stated above, see Note 7A1.

Determination of fair value of assets and liabilities identifiable as of the acquisition date:

The acquisition of the Gat Power Plant was accounted for according to the provisions of IFRS 3 - "Business Combinations". Therefore, on the Transaction Completion Date, the Company included in its financial statements the net identifiable assets of the Gat Power Plant in accordance with their fair value, that was estimated by an external and independent appraiser (BDO Ziv Haft). As of the approval date of the report, the Company had not yet completed the attribution of the acquisition cost to the identifiable assets and liabilities, in light of the short time that had elapsed from the date of the business combination to the report's approval date. As a result, some of the fair value data are temporary and there may be changes that will affect the data included in these financial statements.

NOTE 6 – SUBSIDIARIES (cont.)

A. Israel (cont.)

1. Business combination that took place in the reporting period - acquisition of the Gat Power Plant (cont.)

Set forth below is the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired (according to temporary amounts):

In NIS million

Cash and cash equivalents 2
Trade and other receivables 24
Property, plant, and equipment and right-of-use assets - facilities and electricity generation and supply license (1) 795

Total consideration (5) 555
  • (1) The Group opted to implement the expedient as per IFRS 3, and allocate the fair value of the facilities and the electricity supply license to a single asset. The fair value was estimated using the MultiPeriod Excess Earning Method (MPEEM). The valuation methodology included a number of key assumptions that constituted the basis for cash flow forecasts, including, among other things, electricity and gas prices, and nominal post-tax discount rate of 8%-8.75%. The said assets are amortized over approx. 27 years from the acquisition date, taking into account the expected residual value at the end of the assets' useful life.
  • (2) The fair value of the land was determined by an external and independent land appraiser using the discounted cash flow technique, , at a rate of 8%.
  • (3) As stated above, the loans were repaid immediately after the acquisition date.
  • (4) The goodwill arising as part of the business combination reflects the synergy between the activity of the Gat Power Plant and the Rotem Power Plant.
  • (5) The consideration includes a cash payment of NIS 270 million plus deferred consideration, whose present value is estimated at NIS 285 million as of the Transaction Completion Date.

2. Restructuring and investment transaction - Veridis transaction

The restructuring (transfer of assets and share exchange) and investment transaction entered into between Veridis, the Company and OPC Israel (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) was completed in January 2023; as part of the transaction, assets were transferred from the Company and Veridis to OPC Israel and a wholly-owned company thereof; the transfer was tax-exempt in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Ordinance and was made in consideration for the allocation of shares in OPC Israel and a wholly-owned company thereof.

In addition, a shareholders agreement between the Company and Veridis was signed and came into force, which regulates their relationship in OPC Israel, such that as from the transaction completion date, all of the Company's electricity and energy generation and supply in Israel are wholly-owned by OPC Israel.2 Furthermore, on the transaction completion date, Veridis transferred to OPC Israel a total of NIS 452 million (after adjustments to working capital as is generally accepted in agreements of this type); against the transfer of the said investment amount and Veridis' rights in the Rotem Companies, Veridis was allocated 20% of OPC Israel's issued capital. It should be noted that a total of NIS 400 million out of the said investment amount was used by Rotem to repay (pro rata) part of shareholders' loans extended by the Company and Veridis to Rotem in 2021 (for more information, see Note 25D2 to the Annual Financial Statements). In addition, as part of the Transaction, arrangements were put in place regarding guarantees that the Company provided and/or will provide in favor of the assets transferred to OPC Israel, as well as indemnity arrangements in respect of such guarantees that will be retained by the Company. As of the approval date of the report, the parties take steps to complete actions in connection with the financing agreements of the Zomet and Hadera power plants, and in connection with adapting the said agreements to the holdings structure after the completion of the transaction.

The accounting treatment applied to the Veridis transaction in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 10 is a transaction with non-controlling interests while retaining control; accordingly, all differences between the cash received from Veridis as stated above and the increase in the non-controlling interests line item was recognized in capital reserve from transactions with non-controlling interests.

2 In January 2023, on the eve of the transaction's completion, the Company transferred to OPC Israel, among other things, the shares of OPC Power Plants, the holdings in Rotem 2, the holdings in Gnrgy, as well as other companies and operations in the area of activity in Israel, such as energy generation facilities on consumers' premises, virtual electricity supply activity, and more.

NOTE 6 – SUBSIDIARIES (cont.)

B. USA - Renewable energies segment

Business combination that took place in the reporting period - acquisition of the Mountain Wind Power Plants

Further to what is stated in Note 29B to the annual financial statements regarding CPV Group's engagement in an agreement for the acquisition of all rights in four active wind energy power plants (hereinafter - the "Mountain Wind Project"), on April 5, 2023, the transaction was completed and CPV Group received all rights in the Mountain Wind Project against payment of a NIS 625 million consideration (approx. USD 175 million) (after adjustments as is generally accepted in agreements of this type). For more information regarding the project financing agreement that was signed on April 6, 2023, and which was used to finance part of the consideration as stated above, see Note 7A2.

The acquisition of the Mountain Wind project was accounted for according to the provisions of IFRS 3 - "Business Combinations". Therefore, on the Transaction Completion Date, the Company included in its financial statements the fair value of the net identifiable assets and goodwill of the Mountain Wind project, that was estimated by an external and independent appraiser (PwC Kesselman & Kesselman).

As of the approval date of the report, the allocation of the purchase price to identifiable assets and liabilities has been completed, with no changes compared with the financial data reported in the financial statements for the first quarter of 2023.

Set forth below is the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired:

in NIS million

Identifiable assets, net 550 154
Goodwill (2) 75 21
Total consideration 625 175

(1) The fair value was estimated using the discounted cash flow method. The valuation methodology included several key assumptions that constituted the basis for cash flow forecasts, including, among other things, electricity and gas prices, and nominal post-tax discount rate of 5.75%-6.25%. Intangible assets are amortized over 13 to 17 years, and property, plant, and equipment items are depreciated over 20 to 29 years.

(2) The goodwill in the transaction reflects the business potential of the Group's entry into the renewable energies market in New England, USA. CPV Group expects that the entire amount of the goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes.

A. Significant events during and subsequent to the reporting period

  1. Gat Financing Agreement:

NOTE 11 – ATTACHMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MATERIAL ASSOCIATES (cont.)

Set forth below is a breakdown of the key adjustments between US GAAP and IFRS in Valley, Fairview, and Towantic

  • A. Maintenance costs under the Long Term Maintenance Plan (hereinafter the "LTPC Agreement"): under IFRS, variable payments which were paid in accordance with the milestones as set in the LTPC Agreement are capitalized to the cost of property, plant and equipment and amortized over the period from the date on which maintenance work was carried out until the date on which maintenance work is due to take place again. Under US GAAP, the said payments are recognized on payment date within current expenses in the statement of income.
  • B. Hedge effectiveness of interest rate swaps: in accordance with the IFRS the associates recognize adjustments relating to the ineffective portion of their cash flow hedge under finance expenses in profit and loss. Under US GAAP, there is no part which is not effective, and the hedging results are recognized in full in other comprehensive income.
  • C. Impairment of property, plant and equipment in Valley: In 2021, prior to the acquisition date of CPV Group, indications of impairment of the property, plant and equipment were identified. Under IFRS, the carrying amount exceeded the recoverable amount (the discounted cash flows that Valley expects to generate from the asset), and consequently an impairment loss was recognized. Under US GAAP, the non-discounted cash flows that Valley expects to generate from the asset exceeded the carrying amount, and therefore no impairment loss was recognized. Since the impairment loss was taken into account as part of the excess cost allocation work as of the acquisition date of CPV Group, its subsequent reversal in Valley's financial statements, if recognized, shall not affect the Company's results.
  • D. Intangible assets: Under IFRS, certain intangible assets are defined as property, plant and equipment.
  • E. Restricted cash: Restricted cash: There is a difference between the presentation and classification of restricted cash in the cash flow statements and in the statements of financial position.
