Q1 and Recent Highlights
Kenon
- In May 2026, Kenon entered into a collar transaction with an investment bank relating to approximately 2% of the shares of OPC, providing Kenon a potential source of liquidity while allowing Kenon to retain exposure to potential share price upside, while limiting potential downside, with respect to such shares.
- In April 2026, Kenon distributed a cash dividend of approximately $200 million ($3.85 per share).
OPC
- OPC’s net profit in Q1 2026 was $14 million, as compared to $25 million in Q1 2025. OPC’s Q1 2026 net profit included its share in profit of CPV of $34 million, as compared to $38 million in Q1 2025.
- OPC’s Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies¹ in Q1 2026 was $124 million, as compared to $113 million in Q1 2025.
¹ Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies is a non-IFRS measure. See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon’s Form 6-K dated June 1, 2026 for the definition of OPC’s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies and a reconciliation to profit for the applicable period.
Discussion of Results for the Three Months ended March 31, 2026
Kenon’s consolidated results of operations primarily comprise the consolidated results of OPC Energy Ltd (“OPC”), in which Kenon holds an interest of approximately 46%. On January 1, 2026, OPC changed its presentation currency from NIS to USD, while its functional currency (NIS) remained unchanged.
See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon’s Form 6-K dated June 1, 2026 for a summary of Kenon’s consolidated financial information; a summary of OPC’s consolidated financial information; and a reconciliation of OPC’s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies (which is a non-IFRS measure) to profit for the period.

OPC’s revenue increased by $134 million in Q1 2026 as compared to Q1 2025.
Set forth below is a discussion of changes in the key components in revenue for Q1 2026 as compared to Q1 2025.
Israel
- Revenue from sale of energy to private customers in Israel – OPC’s revenue from the sale of electricity to private customers is derived from electricity sold at the generation component tariff, as published by the Israeli Electricity Authority, with some discount. Accordingly, changes in this tariff generally affect the prices paid by customers under power purchase agreements. The weighted-average generation component tariff in Q1 2026 was NIS 0.2890 per KW hour, which is approximately 2% lower than NIS 0.2939 per KW hour in Q1 2025. OPC’s revenue from the sale of electricity to private customers increased by $18 million in Q1 2026 as compared to Q1 2025 as a result of an increase of $10 million due to an increase in customer consumption and an increase of $12 million driven by the strengthening of the New Israeli Shekel against the U.S. Dollar between the periods; and
- Revenue from private customers in respect of infrastructure services in Israel – Increased by $17 million in Q1 2026 as compared to Q1 2025 primarily as a result of an increase in average tariffs between the periods.
² Non-IFRS measure. See Exhibit 99.2 of Kenon’s Form 6-K dated June 1, 2026 for the definition of OPC’s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies and a reconciliation to profit for the applicable period.
United States
- Revenue from sale of electricity (Energy Transition) in the U.S. – Increased by $68 million in Q1 2026 as compared to Q1 2025, primarily due to the consolidation of CPV Shore from January 2026, which resulted in (i) an increase in revenue from generation and sale of electricity of $84 million, (ii) an increase of revenue from capacity payments of $14 million, offset by (iii) realization of derivatives for hedging electricity prices of $30 million; and
- Revenue from sale of electricity (retail) activities in the U.S. – Increased by $31 million in Q1 2026 as compared to Q1 2025, primarily as a result of increase in scope of retail activities.

- Expenses for sale of electricity (retail) in U.S. – Increased by $34 million in Q1 2026 as compared to Q1 2025, primarily as a result of increase in scope of retail activities.

Business and other Developments
Receipt of building permit for Hadera 2 Project
In May 2026, OPC’s project company Hadera 2 (“Hadera 2”) was granted a building permit for the Hadera 2 project, a plan for the construction of an 850 MW natural gas-fired power plant on land adjacent to OPC’s Hadera power plant.
Completion of transaction to swap interests in Maryland Power Plant and Three Rivers Power Plant
In May 2026, CPV Group LP (a 70%-owned subsidiary of OPC) (“CPV Group”) completed its previously announced transaction with the other partner (the “Seller”) in CPV Maryland, LLC (“CPV Maryland”) for the Seller’s 25% ownership interest in CPV Maryland, which owns a 745 MW power plant located in Maryland, in exchange for CPV Group’s 10% interest in CPV Three Rivers LLC (“CPV Three Rivers”), which owns a 1,258 MW power plant in Illinois. As a result, CPV Group now owns 100% of CPV Maryland, and no longer holds any interest in CPV Three Rivers.
For further information, see Kenon’s Reports on Form 6-K furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 3, 2026 and November 19, 2025.
Update on Ramat Beka Project
In April 2026, OPC’s Ramat Beka project company signed an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) agreement for the construction of a solar power plant with an estimated installed capacity of 550 MW with integrated storage of about 3,850 megawatts/hr, with a total cost of approximately $158 million - $160 million.
Signing of agreement for supply of electricity to data centers in Israel
In May 2026, OPC, through an Israeli subsidiary, signed an electricity supply agreement (PPA) with an existing customer for the supply of electricity to data centers owned or being developed by the customer, with capacity expected by OPC to gradually reach approximately 460 megawatts, for a term of 19 years.
OPC Officer summoned in connection with Competition Authority investigation
In May 2026, an officer of OPC was summoned in connection with an investigation by the Israel Competition Authority relating to the tender conducted by the Israel Electric Corporation for the “Eshkol” power plant in 2023.
Additional Kenon Updates
Kenon’s (stand-alone) Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, Kenon’s stand-alone cash was $709 million. As of June 1, 2026, Kenon’s stand-alone cash was $512 million. There is no material debt at the Kenon level.
Kenon’s stand-alone cash includes cash and cash equivalents and other treasury management instruments.
Collar transaction relating to approximately 2% of OPC shares
In May 2026, Kenon entered into a collar transaction with an investment bank relating to 6,000,000 ordinary shares of OPC. The 6,000,000 OPC shares subject to the collar transaction represent 2% of OPC’s outstanding shares.
The collar transaction provides a potential source of liquidity to Kenon as the collar transaction allows Kenon, in certain circumstances, to elect to borrow against the collar transaction under the terms thereof. The collar transaction also allows Kenon to retain exposure to potential upside in the collar shares up to the call strike price, while limiting the impact of potential decline in the share price.
For further information, see Kenon’s Report on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on May 28, 2026.
Interim Dividend for the Year Ending December 31, 2026
In April 2026, Kenon distributed an interim cash dividend of approximately $200 million ($3.85 per share) for the year ending December 31, 2026.

Appendix C
Definition of OPC's EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies and non-IFRS reconciliation
This press release presents OPC's Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies, which is a non-IFRS financial measure.
OPC's EBITDA is defined for each period as net profit/(loss) before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net, and income tax expense. OPC's Adjusted EBITDA, including proportionate share in associated companies, is defined as EBITDA as further adjusted for expenses not in the ordinary course of business and/or of a non-recurring nature and share of depreciation and amortization, financing expenses and income tax expenses (if any) of associated companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies are not recognized under IFRS as a measure of financial performance and should not be considered as a substitute for net profit or loss, cash flow from operations or other measures of operating performance determined in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies are not intended to represent funds available for dividends or other discretionary uses because those funds may be required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital and other commitments and contingencies. There are limitations that impair the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies as measures of OPC's profitability since it does not take into consideration certain costs and expenses that result from OPC's business that could have a significant effect on net profit, such as financial expenses, taxes, and depreciation and amortization.
OPC believes that the disclosure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies provides useful information to investors and financial analysts in their review of the company's, its subsidiaries', and its associated companies' operating performance and in the comparison of such operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry or in other industries that have different capital structures, debt levels and/or income tax rates.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of OPC's net profit to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies for the periods presented. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies differently, and therefore this presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA including proportionate share in associated companies may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
