- In April 2020, Kenon completed the sale of half of its remaining interest in Qoros (i.e. 12%) to the majority shareholder in Qoros Automotive Co., Ltd. ("Qoros") and received full payment of RMB1,560 million (approximately \$220 million). As a result, Kenon now holds a 12% interest in Qoros, the majority shareholder holds 63% and Chery owns 25%.
- In addition, in December 2019 and April 2020, Kenon received aggregate cash payments of \$17 million from Chery in connection with reductions in Chery's guarantee obligations resulting from repayments under Qoros' bank loans.
OPC
- OPC Energy Ltd.'s ("OPC") financial results for 2019:
- OPC's revenues in 2019 increased to \$373 million, as compared to \$363 million in 2018.
- OPC's net profit in 2019 increased to \$34 million, as compared to \$26 million in 2018.
- OPC's EBITDA1 in 2019 increased to \$105 million, as compared to \$91 million in 2018.
- In April 2020, OPC issued NIS400 million (approximately \$113 million) of Series B bonds.
Discussion of Results for the Year ended December 31, 2019
Kenon's consolidated results include the consolidated results of OPC which are described below. The results of Qoros and ZIM Integrated Shipping Ltd. ("ZIM") are reflected under results from associates.
See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon's Form 6-K dated April 30, 2020 for summary Kenon consolidated financial information; summary OPC consolidated financial information; a reconciliation of OPC's EBITDA (which is a non-IFRS measure) to net profit and summary operational information of each of OPC's generation businesses.
OPC
The following discussion of OPC's results of operations is derived from OPC's consolidated financial statements.
Summary Financial Information of OPC
| 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| \$ millions | ||
| Revenue | 373 | 363 |
| Cost of sales | 256 | 258 |
| Finance expenses, net | 26 | 25 |
| Net profit | 34 | 26 |
| EBITDA1 | 105 | 91 |
From September 25, 2018 until November 10, 2018, OPC performed major overhaul maintenance of the OPC-Rotem power plant, during which time the operation of the power plant was paused. Such maintenance is performed once every six years. OPC's 2018 financial results were negatively impacted by the maintenance, as OPC-Rotem had to purchase energy to meet its obligations under PPAs during this maintenance and therefore did not earn margins that it would have earned using electricity that it generates.
1 EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure. See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon's Form 6-K dated April 30, 2020 for the definition of OPC's EBITDA and a reconciliation to its net profit for the applicable period
Revenue
The table below sets forth our revenue for 2019 and 2018, broken down by category.
| For the year ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | ||
| \$ millions | |||
| Revenue from energy generated by OPC and sold to private customers | 261 | 225 | |
| Revenue from energy purchased by OPC and sold to private customers | 16 | 39 | |
| Revenue from private customers in respect of infrastructures services | 76 | 79 | |
| Revenue from energy sold to the System Administrator | 3 | 4 | |
| Revenue from sale of steam | 17 | 16 | |
| Total | 373 | 363 |
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 generally affect the prices paid under PPAs by customers of OPC-Rotem and OPC-Hadera. The weighted-average generation component tariff for 2019, as published by the EA in January 2019, was NIS 0.2909 per KW hour. In 2018, the weighted-average generation component tariff was NIS 0.2816 per KW hour. OPC's revenues from sale of steam are linked partly to the price of gas and partly to the Israeli Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Set forth below is a discussion of the changes in revenues by category between 2019 and 2018.
- Revenue from energy generated by OPC and sold to private customers – increased by \$36 million in 2019, as compared to 2018, primarily as a result of (i) a \$24 million increase in revenues due to the higher availability of the OPC-Rotem power plant in 2019, (ii) a \$9 million increase in revenues due to the increase in electricity prices in 2019, and (iii) a \$3 million increase due to higher electricity consumption of OPC's customers.
- Revenue from energy purchased by OPC and sold to private customers decreased by \$23 million in 2019, as compared to 2018, primarily as a result of a \$26 million decrease as a result of higher availability of the OPC-Rotem power plant in 2019, partially offset by a \$3 million increase in revenue due to higher electricity consumption of OPC's customers.
Cost of Sales (Excluding Depreciation and Amortization)
| For the year ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| \$ millions | ||
| Natural gas and diesel oil consumption | 138 | 118 |
| Payment to IEC for infrastructure services and purchase of electricity | 92 | 118 |
| Natural gas transmission | 9 | 7 |
| Operating expenses | 17 | 15 |
| Total | 256 | 258 |
- Natural gas and diesel oil consumption – increased by \$20 million in 2019, as compared to 2018, primarily as a result of (i) a \$14 million increase in gas consumption as a result of higher availability of the OPC-Rotem power plant, (ii) a \$3 million increase due to an increase in the gas price, as a result of the indexation of the gas price to the electricity tariffs, and (iii) a \$3 million increase due to a one-off refund from IEC in 2018.
- Payment to IEC for infrastructures services and purchase of electricity – decreased by \$26 million in 2019, as compared to 2018, primarily as a result of (i) a \$26 million decrease in purchases of electricity from IEC due to the higher availability of the OPC-Rotem power plant in 2019, partially offset by \$3 million due to increase in OPC's customers electricity consumption and increase of electricity prices, and (ii) a \$7 million decrease in infrastructure services as a result of lower infrastructure tariffs in 2019, partially offset by \$4 million of increase due to OPC's customers higher electricity consumption.

Financing Expenses, net
OPC's financing expenses, net increased by approximately \$1 million in 2019 as compared to 2018, primarily as a result of US Dollar – Israeli Shekel exchange rate fluctuations and indexation of OPC-Rotem facility to the CPI.
Net profit
OPC's net profit increased by \$8 million to \$34 million in 2019, as compared to \$26 million in 2018, primarily for the reasons set out above.
EBITDA
OPC's EBITDA increased by \$14 million in 2019, as compared to 2018, primarily for the reasons specified above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2019, OPC had cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits of \$111 million, debt service reserves (out of restricted cash) of \$41 million, and total outstanding consolidated indebtedness of \$622 million, consisting of \$45 million of short-term indebtedness, including the current portion of long-term indebtedness, and \$577 million of long-term indebtedness. All of OPC's debt is denominated in NIS.
Business Developments
Update on the Construction of the OPC-Hadera Plant
OPC-Hadera is constructing a 148 MW co-generation power plant in Israel. OPC expects that the total cost of completing the OPC-Hadera plant will be approximately NIS 1 billion (approximately \$289 million).
Construction of the Hadera Power Plant has been completed and it is currently in the commissioning stage. In March 2020 OPC announced that the EPC contractor of the OPC-Hadera power plant notified OPC that, due to the quarantine procedures and limitations imposed on entry into Israel as a result of the spread of Covid-19, the EPC contractor expects a delay in the arrival of a foreign technical team required for the completion of the acceptance tests of the OPC-Hadera power plant, and as a result, expects a delay in the completion of such tests. OPC indicated in its announcement that at this stage it cannot estimate the duration of the delay, if any, in the commercial operation of the OPC-Hadera power plant which was previously estimated by OPC as occurring during Q2 2020.
Update on Tzomet Project
Tzomet Energy Ltd. ("Tzomet") is developing an open-cycle natural gas-fired power station with capacity of approximately 396 MW in Israel. In April 2019, Tzomet was granted a conditional licence for the construction of the power plant. In February 2020, the EA notified OPC that Tzomet met the milestone for financial close. In addition, as a result of reaching financial close, the conditions for the purchase of the remaining 5% in Tzomet which OPC did not already own were met and OPC now owns 100% of Tzomet.
Series B Bonds Issuance
In April 2020, OPC issued NIS400 million (approximately \$113 million) of bonds (Series B), which were listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The bonds bear annual interest at the rate of 2.75% and are repayable every six months, commencing on September 30, 2020 (on March 31 and September 30 of every calendar year) through September 30, 2028. In addition, an unequal portion of principal is repayable every six months. The principal and interest are linked to an increase in the Israeli consumer product index of March 2020 (as published on April 15, 2020). The bonds have received a rating of A3 from Midroog and A- from S&P Global Ratings Maalot Ltd.
Qoros
Sale of 12% of Qoros
As previously reported, in January 2019, Kenon entered into an agreement to sell half (12%) of its remaining interest (24%) in Qoros to the majority shareholder in Qoros. In April 2020, Kenon completed the sale and received full payment of RMB1,560 million (approximately \$220 million). As a result, Kenon currently holds a 12% interest in Qoros.

Cash Received from Chery
Kenon received aggregate cash payments of \$17 million from Chery in December 2019 and April 2020 as a result of repayments on Qoros' bank loans and corresponding reductions of Chery's obligations under its guarantees. These cash receipts are in connection with cash collateral previously provided by Kenon to reduce Kenon's back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery. The relevant agreements provided that Kenon is entitled to a proportionate return of this cash collateral to the extent that Chery's guarantee obligations are reduced. In addition, as a result of the completion of the sale, Kenon expects to receive the remaining RMB5 million (approximately \$1 million) previously provided to Chery resulting in full reimbursement of the RMB244 million (approximately \$36 million) cash collateral.
Business Updates
Car Sales
Qoros sold approximately 26,000 cars in 2019, as compared to approximately 62,000 cars in 2018. A substantial number of sales in 2018 and 2019 reflect purchases by an entity introduced by the majority shareholder in Qoros.
ZIM
Discussion of ZIM's Results for 2019
ZIM carried approximately 2,821 thousand TEUs in 2019, representing an 3.2% decrease as compared to 2018, in which ZIM carried approximately 2,914 thousand TEUs. The average freight rate per TEU in 2019 was \$1,009 per TEU, as compared to \$973 per TEU in 2018. ZIM's revenues increased by 1.6% in 2019 to approximately \$3.3 billion, as compared to approximately \$3.2 billion in 2018, mainly due to the increase in average freight rates, which offset the decrease in carried quantities. ZIM's operating expenses and cost of services decreased by 6% to approximately \$2.8 billion, as compared to approximately \$3.0 billion in 2018, primarily as a result of (i) a \$150 million decrease in bunker expense, (ii) a \$73 million decrease in port expenses, (iii) an \$11 million decrease in agent commissions, offset by (iv) a \$42 million increase in cargo handling and (iv) a \$15 million increase in slot purchase and lease expenses of vessels and containers.
Primus
In light of market conditions, Kenon's subsidiary Primus will significantly reduce its operations and is considering alternatives for utilizing its proprietary technology and its demonstration plant.
Additional Kenon Updates
Kenon's (Unconsolidated) Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2019, Kenon's cash balance was \$33 million. As stated above, since January 1, 2020, Kenon has received \$220 million in connection with the sale of its interest in Qoros and \$6 million from Chery in connection with the reduction of certain guarantees. There is no material debt at the Kenon level.
Kenon is the beneficiary of a four-year deferred payment agreement, effective December 28, 2017, reflecting deferred consideration from the sale of its Inkia power businesses, accruing 8% interest, payable in kind (total receivable as at December 31, 2019 including principal and accrued interest is \$204 million). The deferred payment is subject to tax.

Appendix C
Definition of OPC's EBITDA and non-IFRS reconciliation
This press release, including the financial tables, presents EBITDA, which is considered to be a non-IFRS financial measure.
OPC defines EBITDA as for each period as net profit before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net, and income tax expense. 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. 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 EBITDA as a measure 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, depreciation, capital expenses and other related items.
OPC believes that the disclosure of EBITDA provides transparent and useful information to investors and financial analysts in their review of the company's, or its subsidiaries' 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 is a reconciliation of OPC's net profit to EBITDA for the periods presented. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently, and therefore this presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
