    • A. Update of tariffs for 2022 on February 1, 2022, the annual update of the electricity tariffs of the Electricity Authority for 2022 entered into effect, according to which the generation component, increased at the rate of about 13.6%, and stood at NIS 0.2869 per kilowatt hour commencing from February 1, 2022. On May 1, 2022, an additional update to the electricity tariff for the rest of 2022 entered into effect, as a result of reduction of the excise tax on use of coal, due to a draft Excise Tax on Fuel Order, which was published by the Ministry of Finance as part of the government's plan to combat the high cost of living. The generation component after the reduction was NIS 0.2764 per kilowatt hour, a reduction of 3.7% from the tariff determined on February 1, 2022, as stated above. On August 1, 2022, an additional update to the electricity tariff entered into effect for the remainder of 2022 whereby the generation component is NIS 0.314 per kilowatt hour, an increase of 13.6% over the tariff determined in May 2022 and 9.4% of the tariff determined at the beginning of the year. As part of the hearing published by the Electricity Authority on July 11, 2022, it was noted that the background for the tariff update is the global energy crisis, which became more severe due to the war in the Ukraine, and that gave rise to a significant increase in the energy and electricity prices in many countries worldwide. Pursuant to the hearing, that stated led to a sharp increase in the index of the coal prices compared with the price on which the tariff update at the beginning of the year was based, and together with the increase in the currency exchange rate and the CPI, the need was created for an update of the seller's cost and the electricity tariffs. For additional details regarding the generation tariff and its impact on the Company's activities – see Section 7.2.4 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021 and Note 8A(1) to the Interim Statements.

    • A. The Stagecoach project on May 24, 2022, a Work Commencement Order for the construction work was issued to the project's construction contractor, with solar technology having a capacity of about 102 megawatts MWdc in the State of Georgia in the United States – SERC market. On that date, among other things, a construction agreement (EPC) was signed with the project's construction contractor. As at the date of the report, the total cost of the investment in the project is estimated at about \$127 million (including development fees to the CPV Group in the estimated amount at about \$23 million), and the project's commercial operation date, subject to completion of the construction work is expected to take place in 2024.

As stated in the report for the first quarter, the project signed an agreement for sale of electricity (PPA) with a local utility company for sale of the electricity generated for a period that could reach up to 30 years from the project's commercial operation date, at market prices. At the same time, the project contracted with a global company for sale of 100% of the project's renewable solar energy certificates, Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), and a full hedge of the electricity price of the quantity that will be generated and sold to the utility company, at a fixed price for 20 years from the project's commercial operation date.

The CPV Group has provided guarantees, in the cumulative amount of about \$10 million, for purposes of assuring the project's liabilities (including with respect to the dates relating to the project) to the parties to the agreements. The scope of the average annual revenues from the said agreements is estimated at \$6 million to \$7 million.41

For additional details – see the Company's Immediate Report dated May 25, 2022 (Reference No.: 2022-01-0640489).

41 That stated, including regarding the matter of the expected cost of the investment in the project, the scope of the development fees and the project's anticipated commercial operation date, as well as with reference to the total amount of the revenues expected from the above-mentioned agreements, includes "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on estimates and plans of the CPV Group as at the date of the report and regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized. As at the date of the report, construction of the project and its completion are subject to various factors, such as, construction and connection work, which have not yet taken place, as stated above, which might not materialize or might materialize in a manner different than foreseen, this being due to, among other things, changes in regulation, an increase in costs (including equipment, connection and infrastructure costs), receipt of permits, delays or interruptions in the construction or infrastructure work, changes in estimates regarding market prices and/or realization of one or more of the risk factors to which the Company and/or the CPV Group are exposed.

  • 4) Main developments in the business environment and the Company's activities in the United States in the period of the report and thereafter: (Cont.)
    • B. Advancement of "the Inflation Reduction Law" on August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed by the President of the U.S. and it became law, the purpose of which is, among other things, to grant significant tax credits for renewable energies and technologies from reduction of carbon emissions, and to lead to an increase of the local generation and the regulatory stability in the area ("the IRA Law").

The IRA Law includes, a number of benefits for renewable energy projects, including, among others: (1) an investment tax credit (ITC) – fixing the rate of the tax benefit to 30% and extension of the benefit period to 10 years ("the Base Credit"). Also, additional credits are included at the rate of 10% each of the Base Credit subject to (a) construction of projects on Brownfield sites or coal mine sites or carbon power plants that have been shut down, or (b) for use of equipment or raw materials made in the U.S.; (2) a production tax credit (PTC) – fixing the benefit tariff at \$27.5 per megawatt hour and extension of the benefit period to 10 years; (3) the possibility of selling the tax credits to unrelated parties; and (4) a tax credit for electricity generation facilities having carbon capture capability at the rate of about 75% of the emission. The rate of the credit will be \$60 per ton of carbon for carbon removed by injection into active oil wells and \$85 per ton of carbon for carbon interred in a permanent manner. This benefit is granted as a direct payment during the first five years and as a tax credit during an additional 7 years.

Furthermore, commencing from 2025, renewable energy projects with zero emissions will be able to choose between claiming a PTC or an ITC. The IRA Law is expected to have a favorable impact on the renewable energy projects of the CPV Group that are in the development stage and that are under construction, including Maple Hill and Stagecoach and, among other things, to increase the value of the tax credits that is expected to be received compared with the situation prior to passage of the Climate Law. It is noted that even though some of the regulatory arrangements have not yet been finalized, there is a possible positive impact on the entitlement of some of the Group's renewable projects to a higher tax credit due to their location (for example, on areas that were former coal mines), including the Maple Hill project. Also, the possibility of selling the tax credits increases the Group's ability to realize part of the value of the tax credits of its renewable projects and to improve the investment conditions. With reference to the conventional project of the CPV Group that are in the development stage, as stated in Section 2 (backlog of projects) above, and that integrate possibilities for carbon capture, the IRA Law is expected to have a positive impact in all that relating to the technological benefits for carbon capture provided in the Law. As at the date of the report, the full impacts of the IRA Law have not yet been finally clarified, and they are expected to be clarified upon formulation of the detailed arrangements (regulations).42

42 That stated in connection with the main impacts of the IRA Law, constitutes "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, 1968, and it constitutes merely an estimate that is based on the information, estimates and forecasts in the possession of the management of the CPV Group on the date of the report, among other things, based on the language of the legislation published and the existing business plans. This information is contingent on the existence of various factors, including factors that are not under the Company's control, such as, the final arrangements that will be determined, realization of the development plans of the backlog of the projects, etc. Accordingly, that stated may not materialize and/or may materialize in a manner different than that described above.

  • 4) Main developments in the business environment and the Company's activities in the United States in the period of the report and thereafter: (Cont.)
    • C. Changes in costs in the production and supply chain of equipment for the projects for details see Section 5F below.
    • D. Requests for network connections the increasing demand for renewable energy in the PJM, MISO and SPP electricity markets, led to an increase in demand for connections to the grid and requests for connection surveys of projects to the grid. This demand creates a burden and causes a slowdown in the connection process and could impact the process and rate of the progress of the projects. Further to that stated in Section 8.1.2.2 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021 regarding the reform of the process of requests for connection to the network in the PJM market, in April 2022, the reform of the process of requests for connection to the network in the PJM market was approved, which was intended to regulate the handling of the backlog of connection requests by the PJM. The reform was submitted for approval of the FERC43 in June 2022, and as part of the request PJM is requesting that the FERC shall act to allow implementation of the reform up to January 2023. PJM's request recommends a three-stage collective connection survey process that will apply to parties submitting the connection requests in the same time frames. At the end of the three stages, a period of time will be allowed to sign connection agreements. Projects regarding which no network upgrades are required will be able to advance to the connection agreement stage after two stages. In the estimation of the CPV Group, application of the said reform, could cause a delay of about two years in the timetables for construction and operation of certain projects in the PJM market depending on, among other things, the required network upgrading costs and their place in the connection process. As part of that stated, it is possible that the process of connection to the network of the Rouge's Wind project of the CPV Group, which is presently in the development stages, could be delayed by about two years. For details regarding the Rouge's Wind project – see Section 8.1.1.6 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021. The Maple Hill and Three Rivers projects, which are presently in the construction stages, are not expected to be impacted by the Reform44 .

43 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

44 That stated above with reference to the dates and actions relating to of the Reform of the PJM, including estimates of the time periods and processes, as well as the impacts relating to the Reform of the PJM on the projects of the CPV Group, includes "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized or the manner in which it will be realized, and which is dependent on, among other things, factors that are not under the Company's control.

  • 4) Main developments in the business environment and the Company's activities in the United States in the period of the report and thereafter: (Cont.)
    • E. Electricity, gas and availability (capacity) prices in the activity markets of the CPV Group for details regarding trends in the various energy prices and the impact thereof on the CPV Group and with respect to capacity payments in the different markets in the U.S. – see Section 6 below. In June 2022, capacity payment tenders in the PJM market were held for the period June 2023 up to May 2024 (for additional details – see Section 6 below).
    • F. Availability (capacity) and maintenance work– the second quarter, which includes the months of the spring season, is characterized as a transition period wherein the demand for electricity is relatively low and, therefore, the preference is to concentrate during this period, to the extent possible, the maintenance work in the power plants. As stated in the First Quarter Report, in the period of the report the power plants of the CPV Group that are powered by natural gas were shut down for various periods of time for purposes of planned maintenance work (where part of the work lasted longer than planned). The shut down for purposes of the maintenance work had an unfavorable impact on the results of the plants in the period of the report. For details regarding the maintenance work – see Section 6 below. It is noted that August 2022 one of the active power plants of the CPV Group was shut down (fully or partly) for an aggregate of about 14 days, for purposes of unplanned maintenance due to a breakdown, after which it resumed its activities.
    • G. Acquisition of solar panels in March 2022, the CPV Group signed a framework agreement for acquisition of solar panels, in the aggregate scope of about 530 megawatts ("the Panel Acquisition Framework Agreement"). The panels will be supplied based on orders the CPV Group will submit to the supplier in 2023–2024. On the date of entering into the undertaking, the CPV Group had paid the panel supplier an advance deposit in respect of the acquisition. The CPV Group has the right to conclude the agreement early in accordance with the dates provided, while making a partial payment to the supplier, which is derived from the early conclusion date. In addition, provisions are included in the agreement with respect to, among other things, quantities, the model, manner of supply of the panels and provisions that cover conclusion of the agreement. The total consideration under the agreement could amount to about \$185 million (assuming purchase of the full quantity under the agreement). The agreement is intended to serve for solar projects of the CPV Group that are in the development or construction stages – this being, among other things, against the background of the global trends of increasing demand for solar panels that impacts the prices of the panels and timeframes for their supply.

  • 4) Main developments in the business environment and the Company's activities in the United States in the period of the report and thereafter: (Cont.)
    • H. Process of the authorities in the United States regarding supply of solar panels on March 28, 2022, the U.S. Department of Commerce gave notice of investigation of a contention whereby import of solar panels imported into the United States from Malasia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, allegedly circumvents the Customs duty applicable to imports from China. The consequence of this investigation could be imposition of larger (even significantly larger) Customs Duty on solar panels imported from these countries. It is noted that as at the publication date of the report, there is no certainty regarding the outcome of the process or with respect to the length of time until it is completed (it is clarified that the process is not against the CPV Group). The process and its results, if the investigated claim is found to have substance, could have a general impact on the market for solar panels and, indirectly, and on execution of solar projects in the United States. In June 2022, the President of the United States determined a time period of 24 months for exemption from an import tariff on solar modules and their component parts from the said countries, during which time the investigation is continuing. As at the date of the report, the impacts of the investigation and the said presidential action are not yet clear, and the CPV Group is continuing to examine the matter. Regarding the impacts of the global trends of rising raw-material prices and transport costs (including with respect to solar panels) – see Section 5F below.

Maple Hill Project

I. Changes in the project due to a proceeding in the United States that impacts the supplier of the panels – to the best of the Company's knowledge, despite suspension of the investigation started by the U.S. Department of Commerce, as described in Section 4H above, the project's original panel supplier will not continue to supply the panels, the CPV Group is preparing to make adjustments to the project, as stated below, by means of utilization of the Group's framework agreement for acquisition of panels from March 2022, as noted above. As at the date of the report, the CPV Group is taking the required steps in order to implement replacement of the panel supplier.

As at the publication date of the report, about 24 megawatts are expected to be ready for operation on the project site in the fourth quarter of 2022. The balance of the solar panels, in the scope of about 102 megawatts, are expected to be supplied under the framework agreement for acquisition of panels during 2023, and subject to performance of the conformance (adaptation) work and installation of the panels on the project site, the project is expected to reach full commercial operation in the second half of 2023. The CPV Group is in contact with the parties involved with the project in order to update the agreements with them (if necessary) so as to reflect therein the said change. As at the date of the report, subject to completion of the above preparations, this matter is not expected to have a significant impact on the cost of the investment in the project45 .

  • J. In April 2022, the project received a connection agreement with PJM and the connection is expected to take place in the fourth quarter of 202246 .
  • K. The CPV Group is examining the impact of legislation of the IRA Law (as described in Section 4B above) on the project, mainly from the standpoint of the impacts of the legislation on the Tax Equity agreement.

For additional details regarding the area of the Company's activities in the United States – see this report below, Section 8 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021 and the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2021 and to the Interim Statements.

For additional details regarding the results of associated companies in the United States – see Section 6 below and Note 6 to the Interim Statements. In addition, for further information regarding a significant associated company, Valley, see the condensed interim financial statements of Valley, which are attached to the Interim Statements.

46 That stated with reference to the execution date of the connection constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized. Actually, the connection date could be delayed beyond that stated, this being due to, among other things, factors not under the control of the CPV Group.

45 That stated with reference to the balance of the solar panels that are expected to be delivered under the framework agreement, and the Company's estimates regarding the project's commercial operation date and/or the impact of the scope of the investment in the project includes "forward-looking" information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on the estimates of the CPV Group as at the date of the report, which are subject to update of the relevant agreements, the timetables for execution of the conformance work and installation of the panels, the total costs and final financing or other factors relating to construction or operation of the project, regarding which there is no certainty as to their realization.

1. Brief description of the Group's area of activities in the Period of the Report and thereafter (Cont.)

  • 5) Main developments in the Company's general activities in the period of the report and thereafter:
    • A. Changes in the macro-economic environment (changes in inflation and interest) in the period of the report, a macro-economic trend is discernable, both in Israel and worldwide, which is characterized by an increase in the rate of inflation and, in turn, an increase in the interest rates. These parameters have an impact on the local and global economic conditions, as well as on the overall growth rate, including, among other things, on the financing expenses of business entities, the costs of construction projects, the energy prices, tariffs in the electricity sector and the like.

In this regard, in the last 12 months the CPI in Israel has risen by about 5.2%, and starting from April 2022 Bank of Israel increased the interest rate in the economy a number of times, to the rate of 2% as at the publication date of the report. In the first half of 2022, the global trend of higher price levels continued, against the background of, among other things, economic and geo-political events, such as, the resumption of the lockdowns in China and continuation of the war in the Ukraine. These factors, along with an increase in the energy and transport, have led to a increase in inflation in the U.S.

As detailed in Section 18 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021, the macro-economic environment, which is characterized by high rates of inflation and interest-rate hikes, could impact the Group's activities in a number of ways including, the interest on the loans taken out by the Group companies, which is variable interest (as detailed in Section 7 below), will increase and, in turn, also the Company's financing expenses, and the increases in commodity prices and raw materials will increase the expenses of the Group's projects, along with an increase in salary expenses, maintenance and equipment costs. Furthermore, the increase in the interest rate could have an impact on the value in use of the Group's power plants and on the balance of the goodwill. It is pointed out that pursuant to the examination made by the Company, the increase in the interest rate in the period of the report did not cause a decline in the value of the Group's assets. It is noted that changes in the currency exchange rates also impact the Company. For additional details – see Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for 2021.

Set forth below is a brief summary of the impact of the macro-economic changes, as stated, on the Company based on its estimates as at the period of the report, while taking into account the uncertainty that characterizes the factors described above as at the publication date of the report, the Company is unable to estimate the extent of their impact on its future results. Nonetheless, in order to present a complete picture, it is noted that:

(1) As stated, part of the Company's liabilities in Israel are linked to the CPI. An increase in the rates of inflation in Israel, generally leads to an increase in the Company's financing expenses and a decrease in its profits. For additional details regarding the linkage terms of the Company's liabilities – see Section 7 below. In addition, in the Company's estimation, inflation in the future could trigger an increase in the construction and procurement costs of projects in Israel and in the U.S. For details regarding the impact of an increase in the natural gas and energy prices on the Group's activities in the U.S. – see Section 6 below.

It is noted that in the period of the commercial operation of Zomet, Zomet's availability (capacity) tariff is linked to the CPI – for additional details regarding this matter, see Section 7.13.8 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021. It is further noted that an increase in the CPI generally has a favorable impact on the generation component, which is updated from time to time by the Electricity Authority.

  • 5) Main developments in the Company's general activities in the period of the report and thereafter: (Cont.)
    • A. (Cont.)
      • (1) (Cont.)

In the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized financing expenses in the area of activities in Israel, in light of the increase in the CPI, in the amounts of about NIS 28 million and about NIS 16 million, respectively.

  • (2) The increase in the interest did not have a significant impact on the Company's results in the second quarter of 2022. Regarding the active power plants of the CPV Group, interest hedges exist. In Israel, the main impact of the change in the interest rates is reflected in an increase in the construction cost of the projects. It is further noted that changes in the interest rate also impact calculation of the fair value of the profit-sharing plan, as stated in Note 8E(3) to the Interim Statements and Note 18C to the consolidated statements for 2021. Continuation of the trend of rising interest rates could have a negative impact on the financing costs with reference to the financing agreements and any refinancing. In this context, an increase in the interest is expected to trigger a demand to increase the revenues of the projects in the area47 .
  • B. Raising of capital on July 3, 2022, the Company published a shelf offer report (Reference No.: 2022-01-082792) for issuance of up to 11,130,000 of the Company's ordinary shares by means of a uniform offer in a tender on the unit price. According to the results of the issuance, the Company issued 9,443,800 of the Company's ordinary shares, at a price of NIS 35 per share, of which 3,898,000 were issued to Kenon Holdings Ltd., the Company's controlling shareholder, which submitted bids as part of the preliminary tender that was held for classified investors, as detailed in Sections 4.6 and 4.11 of the shelf offer report. The gross proceeds from the issuance amounted to about NIS 330.5 million. The issuance expenses total about NIS 9 million.
  • C. Senior officers on June 14, 2022, the Company gave notice of conclusion of the service of Mr. Tzahi Goshen as the Company's CFO (for additional details see the Company's Immediate Report from that date (Reference No.: 2022-01-073552). Further to the said notification, on June 28, 2022, the Company published an Immediate Report from that date (Reference No.: 2022-01-067074) regarding appointment of Ms. Anna Bernstein Schwertzman to the position of the Company's CFO. The service of Ms. Bernstein Schwertzman will commence on September 1, 2022. For additional details – see the Company's Immediate Report from that date (Reference No.: 2022-01-078708).
  • 47 It is clarified that that stated above with reference to the Company's estimates in connection with the impact of inflation and the increase in the interest rates on the Company's business constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, and is based on the information in the Company's possession and on the Company's estimates as at this date, and taking into account the scope of its activities and the mix of its investments as at the date of the report. The information and the estimates, as stated, might not be realized and/or might be realized in a different manner, due to, among other things, factors that are not known to the Company as at this date or that are not under its control, including, realization of the risk factors that characterize the Company's activities, as stated, and the manner of their realization.

    • D. Extension of the period of the Company's shelf prospectus the validity of the shelf prospectus that was supposed to expire on July 30, 2022 was extended by the Securities Authority by an additional 12 months, that is, up to July 30, 2023 (Reference: 2022-01-076707).
    • E. Reconfirmation of issuer's rating on August 10, 2022, the Company reported with respect to receipt of a rating report that reconfirms the issuer's rating of "ilA–/Stable", which was granted to the Company by S&P Global Ratings Maalot Ltd. (Reference No.: 2022-01-101593).
    • F. The Coronavirus and the broad global impacts on raw-material prices and supply chains in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus to be a worldwide pandemic. Despite taking preventative measures in order to reduce the risk of spread of the virus, the virus has continued to spread, including different variants that developed, and it has caused significant business and economic uncertainty. In the period of the report, the restrictions on movement (travel) and carrying on of business and trade in the Company's areas of activity were lifted. In light of the dynamic nature of the virus (development of additional variants) and the consequences of ongoing events that are related to the virus (such as an increase in the prices of raw materials and transport costs), there remains uncertainty regarding the broad-sweeping impacts of the Coronavirus crisis, on the markets and factors relating the Company's activities.

In the period of the report and thereafter, due to high global demand for raw materials and transport and dispatch, the significant increase in the costs of the raw materials continued, and delays in the generation and supply chain are visible, including an increase in the costs of marine shipping. Accordingly, global delays have been caused in the equipment supply dates along with an increase in the prices of raw materials and equipment used for construction and maintenance of the Group's generation facilities and power plants. This trend impacts the construction and/or maintenance costs of the Group's projects in its activity markets and the timetables for their completion, as noted in Section 2 above. In addition, the impact of this trend is particularly visible in connection with development projects (including energy generation facilities) and with respect to availability and prices of solar panels for solar projects in the development stage or under construction of the CPV Group. As at the approval date of the financial statements, there is no certainty with respect to the continuation or scope of the trend and, therefore, the Group is not able to estimate with any degree of certainty the impact thereof on the Group's activities.

For additional details regarding the Coronavirus crisis and its impacts on the Group's activities – see Sections 7.3.8, 7.11.1, 7.15.1 and 18.1.6 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2021 and Note 28D to the consolidated financial statements for 2021.

amount of about NIS 253 million, an increase in the linkage differences in respect of the project debt in
Israel in the amount of about NIS 14 million, and in respect of an increase of about NIS 32 million in
project credit in the U.S., due to an increase in the exchange rate of the dollar.

million, as a result of update of the current maturities of the project credit in Israel and in the U.S.,
respectively.
Long-term loans from holders of non
controlling interests and others
410 404 Most of the increase stems from an increase in the balance of the long-term loans from holders of
non-controlling interests in the CPV Group, where an increase of about NIS 19 million is in respect of
investments of holders of non-controlling interests and accrual of interest, and an increase of about
NIS 26 million due to an increase of the dollar exchange rate. This increase was offset by a decline of
about NIS 41 million deriving from update of the current maturities of loans from holders of
non-controlling interests in Rotem.

3. Results of operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2022 (in millions of NIS)

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 2021. In Israel, the load and time tariffs ("TOAZ") are supervised (controlled) and published by the Electricity Authority, and are broken down into three seasons – summer (July and August), winter (January, February and December) and transition (March through June and September through November). The TOAZ tariff in the summer and the winter are higher than those in the transition seasons. In the United States, the electricity tariffs are not supervised (controlled) and are impacted by the demand for electricity, which is high in the summer and the winter compared with the average and as a function of the natural gas prices. During the period of the report, the natural gas prices in the U.S. rose in light of, among other things, the levels of local inventories, a limited increase in the local generation, and the natural gas crisis in Europe, which impacted the electricity in the markets in which the CPV Group operates, where the impact of the gas prices in the period of the report is not uniform between the power plants of the CPV Group.

It is noted that the results of the CPV Group are consolidated in the Company financial statements commencing from the completion date of the transaction for acquisition of the CPV Group on January 25, 2021. The results of the associated companies in the U.S. (companies engaged in natural gas) are presented in the category "Company's share in income (losses) of associated companies". For additional details regarding the results of associated companies in the CPV Group – see Note 6 to the Interim Statements.

4. EBITDA

The Company defines "EBITDA" as earnings (losses) before depreciation and amortization, changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, net financing expenses or income and taxes on income. EBITDA is not recognized under IFRS or under any other generally accepted accounting standards as an indicator for the measurement of financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for profit or loss, cash flows from operating activities or other terms of operational performance or liquidity prescribed under IFRS.

EBITDA is not intended to represent monies that are available for distribution of dividends or other uses, since such monies may be used for servicing debt, capital expenditures, working capital and other liabilities. EBITDA is characterized by limitations that impair its use as an indicator of the Company's profitability, since it does not take into account certain costs and expenses deriving from the Company's business, which could materially affect its income, such as financing expenses, taxes on income and depreciation.

The Company believes that the EBITDA (including EBITDA after making adjustments as detailed below) data provides transparent information that is useful to investors in examining the Company's operating performances and in comparing them against the operating performance of other companies in the same sector or in other sectors with different capital structures, debt levels and/or income tax rates. This data item is also used by Company management when examining the Company's performance. The Company believes that these indices, which are not in accordance with IFRS, provide useful information to investors since they improve the comparability of the financial results between periods and provide greater transparency of the main indices used for evaluating the Company's performance.

Set forth below is a calculation of the EBITDA data item for the periods presented. Other companies may calculate the EBITDA differently. Therefore, the EBITDA presentation herein may differ from those of other companies. In addition, other companies might use other indices for purposes of evaluation their performance, and thereby reducing the comparability of the Company's indices that are not in accordance with IFRS.

Generation component tariff

On February 1, 2022, an update of the annual electricity tariff of the Electricity Authority entered into effect, pursuant to which the generation component increased by 13.6% and stood at NIS 0.2869 per KW hour. On May 1, 2022, an additional update of the electricity tariff of the Electricity Authority entered into effect, as a result of reduction of the excise tax on use of coal, where in accordance therewith the generation component was NIS 0.2764 per KW hour, which constitutes an increase of about 9.4% over the generation component for 2021, instead of an increase of about 13.6%, as stated.

On August 1, 2022, an additional update to the electricity tariff of the Electricity Authority entered into effect according to which the generation component will be NIS 0.3140 per KW hour, which constitutes an increase of about 13.6% over the generation component determined in May 2022, and an increase of about 9.4% over the tariff determined at the beginning of the year, as stated. For additional details – see Section 3A above.

This weighted-average is attributed to the mix of the consumption in the market, while the mix of the consumption of the customers of Rotem and Hadera power plants is not the same as the mix of the consumption in the market. In 2021, the weighted-average of the generation component tariff was NIS 0.2526 per KW hour. In addition, the Company's revenues from sale of steam are linked partly to the price of gas and partly to the Consumer Price Index. The increase in the generation component had a positive impact on the Company's income in the first half of 2022 compared with the corresponding period last year.

In addition, since September 2021 the Company has begun supplying electricity to customers through acquisition of energy from the System Operator, which was acquired at a tariff that includes the supplier and SMP tariff component (marginal semi-annual price) as part of the virtual supply.

Energy prices

The natural gas price is significant in determination of the price of the electricity in most of the regions in which the power plants of the CPV Group operate (the main fuel of the conventional power plants of the CPV Group is natural gas). The natural gas prices are impacted by a number of variables, including demand in the industrial, residential and electricity sectors, production and supply of natural gas, natural-gas production costs, changes in the pipeline infrastructure, international trade and the financial profile and the hedging profile of the natural-gas customers and producers.

In the estimation of the CPV Group, the increase in the natural gas price in the second quarter of 2022 stems from, among other things, a strengthening of the global demand, which increases the demand for liquid natural gas from the United States, inventory levels of natural gas that are lower than in the past, a limited increase in production of natural gas and the natural gas crisis in Europe, particularly against the background of the war in the Ukraine. In the estimation of the CPV Group, in general, in the existing production mix, to the extent the natural-gas prices are higher, the prices of the marginal energy will also be higher, and will have a positive increase on the energy margins of the CPV Group. This impact could be offset, in whole or in part, by hedging programs with respect to electricity and gas prices in the natural-gas powered conventional power plants of the CPV Group, which are intended to reduce changes in the CPV Group's electricity margins due to changes in the commodity prices in the energy market.

In the second quarter of 2022, the electricity prices increased in the markets in which the CPV Group, compared with the corresponding quarter last year. Most of the increase stems from an increase in the prices of natural gas.

The increase in the energy prices in the period of the report was partly offset by hedging agreements, in the Fairview, Shore, Maryland and Towantic power plants. The Valley power plant, which was not hedged with respect to the second quarter of 2022, was favorably impacted by the increase in the energy prices. The purpose of the hedging agreements is to hedge the electricity margins (in the relevant period for every relevant power plant and in accordance with its characteristics) by signing hedging agreements on the gas and electricity prices, usually for short time periods. As at the publication date of the report, most of the hedging agreements are for periods of up to one year. These current hedging plans are in addition to the Revenue Put Option (RPO) agreements that were signed in some of the power plants of the CPV Group, are intended to ensure minimum cash flows for debt service, and are not expected to continue or be renewed beyond their original expiration date. As at the publication date of the report, the estimate of the CPV Group is that about 76% and 42% of the gross profit, which includes the electricity margin and capacity of the power plants of the CPV Group using conventional technology, will be hedged for the balance of 2022 and for 2023, respectively53 .

In addition, the increase in the future energy prices gave rise to a requirement to deposit collaterals (that are non lien-based) in order to secure liabilities to parties to the hedging agreements, in the Maryland, Valley and Towantic power plants. The scope of the said collaterals (for 100% of the above-mentioned power plants) was about \$95 million as at June 30, 2022 (of which about \$26 million reflects the share of the CPV Group in the collaterals). It is noted that in August 2022, the CPV Group provided a collateral, in the amount of \$20 million, in favor of a hedge of the Valley power plant, where the partner in the project provided a collateral in the same amount.

53 That stated constitutes "forward-looking" information as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on the estimates and forecasts of the CPV Group as at the date of the report and regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized and/or it is subject to changes based on business discretion of the CPV Group. That stated could change as a result of, among other things, changes in the market conditions, availability constraints, changes in the estimates that are the basis of the estimates, as stated.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021: (Cont.)

    1. The activities in the United States are centralized under the CPV Group, which was acquired on January 25, 2021. The EBITDA in respect of the period of activities of the CPV Group from January 1, 2021 and up to January 25, 2021 (the period prior to the initial consolidation), amounted to about NIS 30 million.
    1. In the first half of 2022, the gas prices and the electricity prices rose compared with the corresponding period last year, which the CPV Group estimates was mainly a result of an increase in the natural-gas prices as stated in this report above.
    1. The efficiency of the power plants of the CPV Group and the high natural gas prices contributed to an increase in the electricity margins. The total available electricity margin for the active power plants of the CPV Group, for the relative share of the CPV Group, and on the assumption of full availability (capacity), increased in the first half of 2022 by about NIS 193 million, compared with the corresponding period last year. Availability (capacity) payments in the first half of 2022 increased by about NIS 12 million compared with the corresponding period last year.
    1. The increase in the electricity margins was offset due to the hedging program of the CPV Group and reduced the electricity margin by about NIS 95 million.
    1. During the first half of 2022 and 2021, planned and unplanned maintenance were performed at the active power plants of the CPV Group and as a result there was no availability for certain periods. The total cost of the non-availability in the first half of 2022 increased by about NIS 40 million compared with the corresponding period last year. Most of the increase stems from unplanned maintenance at the Valley power plant in January 2022, along with a shutdown for purposes of planned maintenance of 42 days at the Towantic power plant, which completed periodic major maintenance in April and May 2022.
    1. In addition to the existing hedging program at the CPV Group, in the corresponding period last year the CPV Group enjoyed receipts in respect of hedging agreements, which are not current and are not expected to recur, in the amount of about NIS 28 million, due to income from an RPO hedging agreement in the Valley power plant, along with income for a hedging agreement of the HRCO type in the Shore power plant.

The functional currency of the CPV Group is the dollar and, therefore, its results are impacted by changes in the dollar/shekel exchange rate. The average change in the exchange rate of the shekel against the dollar in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is not material.

    1. The second quarter is characterized as being a period in the transition season with relatively low demand for electricity due to moderate weather and usually includes a period characterized by periodic treatment and maintenance for the projects.
    1. In the second quarter of 2022, the gas prices rose compared with the corresponding quarter last year, which in the estimation of the CPV Group was due to the circumstances stated in this report above.
    1. The efficiency of the power plants of the CPV Group and the high natural gas prices contributed to an increase in the electricity margins. The total available electricity margin for the active power plants of the CPV Group, for the relative share of the CPV Group, and on the assumption of full availability (capacity), increased in the second quarter of 2022 by about NIS 90 million, compared with the corresponding quarter last year.
    1. The increase in the electricity margins was offset due to the hedging program of the CPV Group and reduced the electricity margin by about NIS 49 million.
    1. During the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, planned and unplanned maintenance were performed at the active power plants of the CPV Group and as a result there was no availability for certain periods. The total cost of the non-availability in the second quarter of 2022 increased by about NIS 20 million compared with the corresponding quarter last year. Most of the increase stems from planned maintenance of 42 days at the Towantic power plant, which completed periodic major maintenance in April and May 2022.
    1. In the corresponding quarter of 2021, the CPV Group enjoyed receipts, which are not current and are not expected to recur, in the amount of about NIS 31 million, due to income from an RPO hedging agreement in the Valley power plant, and income in respect of a hedging agreement of the HRCO type in the Shore power plant.

7. Liquidity and sources of financing (in NIS millions)

For the
Six Months Ended
Category 6/30/2022 6/30/2021 Analysis
Cash flows provided by operating
activities
96 186 Most of the decrease in the cash flows provided by operating activities stems from the decrease in the in
working capital, in the amount of about NIS 67 million, and a decrease in income from dividends from
associated companies, in the amount of about NIS 32 million.
Cash flows used in investing activities (537) (557) Most of the decrease in the cash flows used in investing activities stems from acquisition of the CPV Group,
in the amount of about NIS 2,140 million, and investments in associated companies in the U.S. and in Israel,
in the amount of about NIS 40 million, in 2021.
This decrease was partly offset by an increase in the investing activities deriving from the fact that in the
first half of 2021 short-term term deposits were released, and restricted cash, net, was also released, in the
amount of about 1,607 million and the amount of about 168 million, respectively. In addition, in the first half
of 2021, the amount of about NIS 150 million was received in respect of repayment of partnership capital
mainly due to sale of part of the holdings of the CPV Group in the Three Rivers project. In addition, during
the period of the report, there was an increase in investments in projects in Israel, and projects under
construction in the CPV Group, in the amount of about NIS 220 million and about NIS 11 million,
respectively.
Cash flows provided by financing
activities
194 716 Most of the decrease in cash flows provided by financing activities stems from a decrease in investments of
holders of non-controlling interests in the CPV Group, in the amount of about NIS 653 million. In addition, in
2021, the Company issued shares, for a consideration of about NIS 346 million.
This decrease was partly offset by an increase deriving from partial repayment of loans in the CPV Group, in
the amount of about NIS 163 million, in the first quarter of 2021 (mainly due to partial repayment of the
seller's loans), and from acquisition of the tax rights of the tax partner in Keenan, in the amount of about
NIS 82 million. Also, there was an increase in withdrawals from the Zomet financing agreement framework, in
the amount of about NIS 177 million, and a decrease in the current repayments of Rotem's loans, in the

For the
Three Months Ended
Category 6/30/2022 6/30/2021 Analysis
Cash flows provided by operating
activities
5 108 Most of the decrease in the cash flows provided by operating activities stems from a decrease in the working
capital, in the amount of about NIS 69 million, a decrease in current activities, in the amount of about NIS 21
million, and a decrease in dividends from associated companies, in the amount of about NIS 14 million.
Cash flows used in investing activities (259) (181) Most of the increase in the cash flows used in investing activities derives from an increase in investments in
projects in Israel, in the amount of about NIS 150 million. In addition, in the second quarter of 2021, there was
a release of short-term deposits, in the amount of about NIS 25 million.
This increase was partly offset by a decrease in investments in projects under construction in the CPV
Group, in the amount of about NIS 48 million, and investments in associated companies in the U.S. and in
Israel, in the amount of about NIS 40 million, in the second quarter of 2021.
Cash flows provided by (used in)
financing activities
71 (96) Most of the increase in the cash provided by financing activities stems from acquisition of the tax rights of
the tax partner in Keenan, in the amount of about NIS 82 million, and a dividend distributed to the holders of
non-controlling interests, in the amount of about NIS 8 million, in the second quarter of 2021. In addition,
there was an increase in withdrawals from Zomet's financing agreement, in the amount of about NIS 21
million, and a decrease in the current repayments of Rotem's loans, in the amount of about NIS 36 million (in
light of the early repayment of the full amount of Rotem's outstanding credit in October 2021). In addition, in
the second quarter of 2022, holders of non-controlling interests made a loan to Rotem, in the amount of
about NIS 8 million.

For additional details – see the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in the Interim Statements.

As at June 30, 2022, there are no warning signs in accordance with Regulation 10(B)(14) of the Reporting Regulations that require publication of a "forecasted cash flow" statement by the Company.

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, 2022 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 this interim period under Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the financial information for this interim period based on our review.

Scope of the Review

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.

Furthermore, the Company engages in providing asset and energy management services for power plants in the US that are owned by the Group and by third parties. The Group manages its operations in Israel mainly through a wholly owned subsidiary, OPC Power Plants Ltd. (formerly OPC Israel Energy Ltd., hereinafter - "OPC Power Plants"). Its activity in the United States is managed under CPV Group LP and its investees (hereinafter - "CPV Group"), held by the Company at a rate of 70%, indirectly (for further information see Note 25D1 to the financial statements as of December 31, 2021, and for the year then ended (hereinafter - the "Annual Financial Statements).

In Israel, the Group operates the Rotem Power Plant through OPC Rotem Ltd. (hereinafter – "Rotem") (which is held by the OPC Power Plants (80%) and by another shareholder - Veridis - Power Plants Ltd.

In addition, as from September 2021 the Company supplies electricity under the virtual supply license (as of the report date - 125 MW). In addition, the Company is working to construct and operate facilities for generation of energy on the consumers' premises, which generate electricity using natural gas and renewable energy and enters into arrangements for supply and sale of energy to consumers.

NOTE 1 – GENERAL (cont.)

A. The Reporting Entity (cont.)

The Group's activities in Israel are subject to regulation, including, among other things, the provisions of the Electricity Sector Law, 1996, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, resolutions of the Israeli Electricity Authority, the provisions of the Law for Minimizing Market Centralization and Promoting Economic Competition, 2013, the provisions of the Economic Competition Law, 1988 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as well as regulation in connection with licensing of businesses, planning and construction, and environmental protection. The Israeli Electricity Authority is authorized to issue licenses under the Electricity Sector Law (licenses for facilities having a generation capacity in excess of 100 MW also require approval by the Minister of Energy), supervise the license holders (including supply licenses and private generation licenses), determine tariffs and set benchmarks for the level, nature and quality of the services that are required from a holder of a "Essential Service Provider" license. Accordingly, the Israeli Electricity Authority supervises both the IEC and independent power producers.

The Group's activity is subject to seasonal effects as a result of changes in the energy demand management rate (hereinafter – the "TAOZ"), which is regulated and published by the Israeli Electricity Authority. The year is broken down into three seasons, as follows: summer (July and August), winter (December, January and February) and "transitional" (March through June and September through November), with a different tariff set for each season. The Company's results are based on the generation component, which is part of the TAOZ, resulting in a seasonal effect.

In the United States, through CPV Group, the Group operates power plants using conventional energy, powered by natural gas, and also operates in the renewable energy sector. As at the approval date of the financial statements, the CPV Group's share of the natural gas-fired power plants is approximately 1,290 MW out of 4,045 MW (5 power plants), and in wind energy - CPV's share is approximately 152 MW (one wholly-owned power plant).

In addition, the CPV Group holds rights to gas-fired power plants using conventional energy with a capacity of 1,258 MW which are under construction (CPV's share as at the approval date of the financial statements is 126 MW) and 228 MW in a solar project under construction. The project backlog of CPV Group as at the reporting date includes a backlog of renewable energy projects and conventional natural gas-fired power plants in the advanced development stages and other projects using various technologies. Furthermore, CPV Group is also engaged in providing asset and energy management services for power plants in the US that are owned by the Group and by third parties. As of the approval date of the financial statements, CPV Group also provides asset management services for power plants with an overall capacity of approx. 7,446 MW, and energy management services to power plants with an overall capacity of approx. 4,235 MW.

The power market in the United States is regulated both on the federal level (wholesale sale of electricity and interstate transmission) and state level (retail sale of electricity and distribution services to end consumers). The primary federal regulator is the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), alongside state-level public service commissions exercising additional regulatory oversight. The electricity market in the United States operates under several regional or state market operators, known as Regional Transmission Organizations (RTO) or Independent System Operators (ISOs). The ISOs and RTOs are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the transmission system, the administration of the wholesale markets in their respective regions, and for the long-term transmission planning and resource adequacy functions.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (cont.)

A. The Reporting entity (cont.)

The activity of the CPV Group is subject to, among other things, changes in federal and state legislation, federal and state energy regulations and federal and state environmental protection laws and regulations. These laws impact the ability of the facilities of the CPV Group to operate, the prices of the products they produce, and the costs and charges involved in their production. Therefore, regulations, laws and decisions by the federal and state authorities, particularly public service committees, a federal energy regulatory committee and environmental protection authorities, have a direct and indirect effect on the CPV Group's activity.

The revenues of the CPV Group from electricity generation are seasonal and impacted by variable demand, gas prices and electricity prices, as well as the weather. 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.

B. Global trends and the impacts of Covid-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced that Covid-19 was a global pandemic. Despite the preventative measures implemented in order to reduce the spread of the pandemic, it continued to spread, including by way of various variants, and caused considerable business and economic uncertainty and volatility in global markets. In the reporting period, most of the restrictions on movement, business, and commerce in the Company's regions of activity were lifted. Due to the dynamic nature of the pandemic (the development of new strains) and the consequences of Covid-19 related events (such as an increase in the prices of raw materials and shipping costs), there is still uncertainty about the broad impact of the Covid-19 crisis on the markets and on factors related to the Company's activity.

During the reporting period and thereafter, due to high global demand for raw materials and for transportation and shipping, the trajectory of significant increase in the costs of raw materials continued, and production and supply chain delays, including an increase in the cost of maritime transport. This resulted in global delays in delivery dates for equipment alongside increased prices of raw materials and equipment used for the construction and maintenance of the Group's facilities and power plants. This trend affects the construction and maintenance costs of the Group's projects in the markets of activity and the schedules for their completion. In addition, the effect of this trend is evident, especially with respect to projects under construction (including energy generation facilities), as well as availability and prices of solar panels for solar projects under development or construction by the CPV Group. As of the financial statements' approval date, there is no certainty as to the duration or scope of the trend, therefore the Group is unable to assess with full certainty its effect on the Group's activity.

It should also be noted that during the reporting period and thereafter, inter alia against the backdrop of the fighting between Russia and Ukraine - in terms of the macroeconomic environment, including inflation trajectories and interest rate hikes, changes in energy prices, uncertainty in financial markets and supply chains, commodity prices and availability issues, etc. Due to the continuation of the event, the Company is unable to assess the extent of its impact on the Company's operations as of the approval date of the financial statements, but there are already indications of an increase in the prices of commodities, transportation and energy, and a challenge in terms of availability of various raw materials.

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.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved for publication by the Company's Board of Directors on August 24, 2022.

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.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Excluding as detailed in Section A below, the Group's accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as the policies applied to the 2021 Annual Financial Statements. Following is a description of the main change in the accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements and its effect.

A. First-time application of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations

Amendment to IAS 16 - "Property, Plant, and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use"

The amendment, which came into effect on January 1 2022, revoked the requirement whereby in calculating costs that are directly attributable to property, plant and equipment, the net proceeds from the sale of any items produced in the process (such as samples produced at the time of testing the equipment) should be deducted from the costs of testing the proper functioning of the asset. Instead, such proceeds will be recognized in profit and loss according to the relevant standards.

The Company applied the amendment retrospectively, including revision of the comparative figures, but only for items of property, plant and equipment that were brought to the location and status required for them to be able to function in the manner contemplated by management after the earliest reporting period presented on first-time application of the amendment, i.e., as from January 1 2020. For information about the effect of first-time application see Note 2D.

NOTE 4 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments measured at fair value for disclosure purposes only

The carrying amounts of certain financial assets and financial liabilities, including short-term and long-term deposits, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, other receivables, derivative financial instruments and other payables, and some of the Group's long-term loans are the same as or approximate to their fair values.

(*) Includes current maturities and interest payable.

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, using the Level 2 valuation method. The fair value is measured using the discounted future cash flows method, on the basis of observable inputs.

The Group enters into transactions in derivative financial instruments in order to hedge foreign currency risks, LIBOR US interest risks, and risks of changes in the CPI. Derivative financial instruments are recorded based on their fair value. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is based on prices, rates and interest rates that are received from banks, brokers and through accepted trading software. The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is estimated on the basis of the data received, using valuation and pricing techniques that are characteristic of the various instruments in the different markets. The fair value measurement of long-term derivative financial instruments is estimated by discounting the cash flows arising from them, based on the terms and conditions and term to maturity of each instrument and using market interest rates for similar instruments as at the measurement date. Changes in the economic assumptions and the valuation techniques could materially affect the fair value of the instruments.

Accounting treatment applied to derivatives in associates and joint ventures

Some of the CPV Group's associates use derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, forwards and commodities contracts in order to hedge the interest risk, the energy prices risk and the commodities risks, respectively. Furthermore, some of the associates entered into economic hedges on electricity price margins in order to reduce their exposure to fluctuations in energy and natural gas prices, as well as hedging agreements of the revenue put option type. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognized as fair value and subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are recognized as financial assets when their fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when their fair value is negative. Any profit or loss arising from changes in the fair value of the derivatives is recognized in the income statement, except for the effective portion of the cash flow hedge, which is recognized in other comprehensive income, and subsequently reclassified to the income statement in the period in which the hedge item's cash flow affect the income statement.

5) Explanations for the main differences between US GAAP and IFRS:

  • A. Maintenance costs under the Long-Term Maintenance Plan (hereinafter the "LTCP Agreement"): under IFRS, variable payments which were paid in accordance with the milestones as set in the LTCP Agreement are capitalized to the cost of property, plant and equipment and depreciated 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 IFRS 9 Financial Instruments Valley recognizes the adjustments relating to the ineffective portion of its hedge its cash flow hedges. Under US GAAP, in accordance with ASU 2017-12 there is no ineffective portion.
  • C. Property, plant and equipment: during the course of the first quarter of 2021, there were indications of impairment that require testing the items for impairment in accordance with both sets of standards: IFRS and US GAAP. Pursuant to IAS 36 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 during the first quarter of 2021. In accordance with ASC 360, the non-discounted cash flows that Valley expects to generate from the asset exceed the carrying amount, and therefore no impairment loss was recognized in accordance with US GAAP.
  • D. Intangible assets: intangible assets that fall within the scope of ASC 350: Intangibles Goodwill and Others are defined as property, plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16.
  • E. Restricted Cash: The difference is due to a difference in the presentation of restricted cash in the cash flow statements between IFRS and US GAAP. In US GAAP, they are included in the statement of cash flows along with cash and cash equivalents.
