Discussion of Results for Q1 2016
Set forth below is a discussion of Kenon's results of operations. Kenon's consolidated results of operations from its operating companies essentially comprise the consolidated results of IC Power Pte. Ltd. ("IC Power").¹ The results of Qoros Automotive Co., Ltd. ("Qoros") and ZIM Integrated Shipping Ltd. ("ZIM") are reflected under results from associates.

IC Power 
IC Power's reportable business segments are Generation and Distribution. IC Power's Generation business segment is further segmented by geography: Peru, Israel, Central America (which consists of Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador and Panama) and Other (which consists of Bolivia, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Colombia).

See Appendix A for a summary of IC Power's unaudited consolidated financial information. See Appendix B for the definition of IC Power's Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, and for a reconciliation to IC Power's, and each of its segments', net income. See Appendix C for summary operational information for each of IC Power's generation businesses. See Appendix D for summary unaudited financial information for each of IC Power's businesses.

The following discussion of IC Power's results of operations below is derived from IC Power's consolidated financial statements.

¹ In March 2016, Kenon announced an internal restructuring pursuant to which its subsidiary IC Power Pte. Ltd., which was a holding company with no material assets, acquired I.C. Power Asia Development Ltd. (formerly I.C. Power Ltd.), which held interests in power generation and distribution assets. As a result, IC Power Pte. Ltd. is now the parent holding company of I.C. Power Asia Development Ltd. and the results of IC Power for Q1 2016 are the results of IC Power Pte. Ltd.

Revenues
IC Power's revenues increased by $100 million, or 31%, to $422 million in Q1 2016 from $322 million in Q1 2015. This increase was primarily the result of the acquisition and consolidation in Q1 2016 of IC Power's distribution business, which contributed $101 million to IC Power's revenues in Q1 2016 from the date of consolidation on January 22, 2016.

IC Power's revenues from its generation business were $321 million in Q1 2016, as compared to $322 million in Q1 2015. See below a discussion of revenues for IC Power's generation business by geographical segment for Q1 2016, as compared to Q1 2015:

• Peru – $121 million, compared to $108 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 12% YoY increase, primarily as a result of a $9 million increase in revenues from ancillary services as a result of an increase in toll tariffs (such tariffs are passed through to customers under power purchase agreements ("PPAs"), so the increase in revenues had a corresponding impact on cost of sales) and a $3 million increase in revenues from energy sales due to an increase in volume of energy sold from 1,599 GWh in Q1 2015 to 1,723 GWh in Q1 2016;
• Israel – $90 million, compared to $88 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 2% YoY increase, primarily as a result of a $13 million contribution of revenues from AIE, which was consolidated from August 2015, offset by an $11 million decrease in OPC's revenues from energy sales due to a decline in the generation component tariff published by Israel's Electricity Authority (the "EA") (which forms the basis for the prices in OPC's PPAs);
• Central America – $75 million, compared to $78 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 4% YoY decrease. The decrease was primarily the result of the reduction in revenues from Puerto Quetzal (Guatemala) of $8 million, Nejapa (El Salvador) of $8 million and ICPNH (Nicaragua) of $4 million, due to a decline in heavy fuel oil ("HFO") prices. The decline was partially offset by $15 million in revenues from Kanan (Panama), which partially commenced commercial operations in Q1 2016;
• Other – $35 million, compared to $48 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 27% YoY decrease, primarily as a result of (i) a $4 million reduction in revenues from CEPP (Dominican Republic) as a result of a decline in HFO prices and a decrease in capacity revenues due to the 2015 capacity payment recalculation made by the local market regulator, (ii) a $4 million reduction in revenues from Colmito (Chile), primarily as a result of a decline in energy prices and a decline in energy generation and (iii) a $4 million decrease in revenues from JPPC (Jamaica), as a result of a decline in HFO prices and a decrease in the volume of energy sold, due to lower plant availability.

Cost of Sales (excluding depreciation and amortization)
IC Power's cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased by $78 million, or 35%, to $302 million in Q1 2016 from $224 million in Q1 2015. This increase was primarily the result of the acquisition and consolidation in Q1 2016 of IC Power's distribution business, which contributed $79 million to IC Power's cost of sales in Q1 2016 from the date of consolidation on January 22, 2016.

IC Power's cost of sales from its generation business were $223 million in Q1 2016, as compared to $224 million in Q1 2015. See below a discussion of cost of sales for IC Power's generation business by geographical segment for Q1 2016, as compared to Q1 2015:

• Peru – $79 million, compared to $72 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 10% YoY increase, primarily as a result of a $9 million increase in transmission charges as a result of an increase in toll tariffs (with such increase in cost of sales corresponding to increased revenues of $9 million from transmission tolls) and a $4 million increase in intermediation fees as a result of a renewal of a PPA. The increase was partially offset by a $5 million reduction in maintenance expenses, due to major maintenance and inspection work which was conducted at Kallpa in Q1 2015;
• Israel – $65 million, compared to $56 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 16% YoY increase, primarily as a result of an $11 million contribution to cost of sales from AIE, which was consolidated from August 2015. The increase was partially offset by a $2 million decline in the cost of natural gas purchases by OPC;
• Central America – $57 million, compared to $63 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 10% YoY decrease, primarily as a result of a $10 million decline in each of Nejapa's and Puerto Quetzal's cost of sales due to a decline in HFO prices and a decrease in energy purchases. The decline was partially offset by $14 million in cost of sales from Kanan, which partially commenced commercial operations in Q1 2016;
• Other – $22 million, compared to $33 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 33% YoY decrease, primarily as a result of a $3 million and $4 million decrease in JPPC's and CEPP's cost of sales, respectively, due to a decline in HFO prices, and a $4 million decrease in Colmito's (Chile) cost of sales due to a decline in energy purchased by Colmito due to high hydrology levels in Chile in Q1 2016.

Net Income

IC Power's net income (attributable to Kenon and non-controlling interest), as reported by IC Power, was $22 million in Q1 2016, compared to $21 million in Q1 2015.² IC Power's distribution business contributed $3 million in net income from the date of consolidation on January 22, 2016. IC Power's net income from its generation business was $19 million in Q1 2016, as compared to $21 million in Q1 2015.

IC Power's net income remained flat in Q1 2016 as compared to Q1 2015, primarily as the result of the changes in revenue and cost of sales as discussed above as well as the following factors:

• Depreciation and amortization (including depreciation and amortization expenses from general, selling and administrative expenses) of $36 million in Q1 2016, as compared to $29 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 24% YoY increase, primarily as a result of the partial commencement of commercial operations of Kanan during Q1 2016, as well as the acquisition of IC Power's distribution business in Q1 2016;
• General, selling and administrative expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) of $22 million in Q1 2016, as compared to $13 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 69% YoY increase, primarily as a result of the acquisition of IC Power's distribution business in Q1 2016, which contributed $8 million in administrative expenses from the date of consolidation on January 22, 2016;
• Net finance expenses of $31 million in Q1 2016, as compared to $21 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 48% YoY increase, primarily due to IC Power's distribution business contributing $7 million in finance expenses from the date of consolidation on January 22, 2016; and
• Tax expense of $12 million in Q1 2016, as compared to $14 million in Q1 2015, reflecting a 14% decrease, primarily as a result of a decline in the tax rate in Israel (from 26.5% to 25%), which was offset in part by higher pretax income in Peru. IC Power's effective tax rate decreased to 36% in Q1 2016 from 40% in Q1 2015, primarily as a result of the lower applicable tax rate in Israel.

Adjusted EBITDA³ 
IC Power's Adjusted EBITDA, as reported by IC Power, was $100 million in Q1 2016, as compared to $85 million for Q1 2015.² The increase was primarily the result of the acquisition and consolidation in Q1 2016 of IC Power's distribution business, which contributed $16 million to IC Power's Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2016 from the date of consolidation on January 22, 2016.

IC Power's Adjusted EBITDA from its generation business was $84 million in Q1 2016, as compared to $85 million in Q1 2015. Set forth below is a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA for IC Power's generation business by geographical segment for Q1 2016, as compared to Q1 2015:

• Peru – $39 million in Q1 2016, compared to $33 million in Q1 2015. The increase was primarily due to a $5 million reduction in maintenance expenses, due to major maintenance and inspection work which was conducted at Kallpa in Q1 2015;
• Israel – $22 million in Q1 2016, compared to $30 million in Q1 2015. The decline was primarily due to the lower power generation component tariff published by the EA in January 2015 and September 2015 (such tariff forms the basis for the prices in OPC's PPAs), without a similar reduction in OPC's gas prices;
• Central America – $15 million in Q1 2016, compared to $12 million in Q1 2015;
• Other - $8 million in Q1 2016, compared to $10 million in Q1 2015.

² IC Power's net income and Adjusted EBITDA, as reported to Kenon, in Q1 2015 were $16 million (only $10 million of which was attributable to Kenon as a result of the exclusion of non-controlling interests and intercompany expenses) and $80 million, respectively. These amounts differ from the respective amounts reported in IC Power's financial statements for the same period as a result of the revision of certain provisions at IC Power, which were adjusted in IC Power's Q1 2015 and 2014 financial statements, but were adjusted in Q2 2015 for Kenon. For further information, see "Decisions by the PUAE (Israel's Power Regulator)" in Kenon's 6-K, dated April 6, 2016, announcing Kenon's Full-Year 2015 Results.

³ For the periods covered in this release, IC Power defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as income before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net and income tax expenses. In prior periods, "Adjusted EBITDA", as defined by IC Power, has included additional adjustments, including asset-write off, share in income of associated companies and gain on bargain purchase, which adjustments are not applicable to IC Power in Q1 2015 and Q1 2016.

Capital Expenditures
IC Power's capital expenditures were $281 million in Q1 2016, primarily relating to expenditures on projects under development and acquisitions of $268 million, consisting of CDA ($27 million), Samay I ($53 million), Kanan ($6 million) and the acquisition of Energuate ($182 million, net of cash acquired of $60 million). During Q1 2016, IC Power's subsidiaries spent $10 million in capital expenditures for maintenance of existing facilities and a further $3 million for new projects, facility recovery and capitalized interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2016, IC Power had cash and cash equivalents of $367 million, plus short-term deposits and restricted cash of $84 million, interest bearing financial liabilities of $2,955 million (excluding debt owed to Kenon), and net interest bearing financial liabilities (a non-IFRS financial measure, which is defined as interest bearing financial liabilities minus cash and short-term deposits and restricted cash) of $2,504 million.

In May 2016, Kallpa issued $350 million senior unsecured notes, which mature in 2026 and bear an interest rate of 4.875%. The proceeds of the notes were principally used to repay certain existing indebtedness.

In May 2016, IC Power entered into a $100 million loan facility at the IC Power level. This facility is currently undrawn.

Business Developments

Acquisition of Energuate
In January 2016, IC Power completed its acquisition of Energuate (a Guatemalan energy distribution business) and two smaller, related businesses. The total consideration for the acquisition was $266 million, which IC Power paid using a combination of cash on hand and a $120 million loan facility entered into in December 2015 (Energuate's total financial debt and cash on hand as of January 22, 2016 were $284 million and $60 million, respectively). Energuate provides electricity distribution services to approximately 1.6 million customers in Guatemala (representing approximately 55% of Guatemala's distribution customers in 2014).

Commencement of Kanan's Commercial Operations
In April 2016, Kanan commenced full commercial operations. Kanan has a total capacity of 92 MW, comprised of HFO generation units in the form of a 55 MW power barge and a 37 MW power barge. The barges' relocation, installation and interconnection to the Panamian system was completed at an aggregate cost of approximately $87 million (including $40 million of intercompany expenses relating to Puerto Quetzal's and CEPP's sale of the barges to Kanan and additional $4 million of intercompany interest expenses).

Commencement of Samay I's Commercial Operations
In May 2016, Samay I commenced commercial operations. Samay I currently has a total capacity of 600 MW when operated with diesel fuel. However, the capacity of the facility may increase to approximately 720 MW once natural gas becomes available to the Samay I facility through the completion of a natural gas pipeline that is expected to be constructed by the end of 2018 and upon the completion of certain investments into the Samay I facility. Samay I is party to a PPA with the State of Peru that expires in 2035, and is expected to generate approximately $1 billion in revenues over the term of the agreement. As of March 31, 2016, Samay I had invested an aggregate of $387 million in the project.

Assets Under Construction

CDA

• As of March 31, 2016, CDA has invested an aggregate of $874 million in the project and has completed 94% of the project, with 99% of the dam construction and 100% of the tunnel drilling completed, respectively.
• CDA has an estimated construction cost of $959 million and total installed capacity of 510 MW. IC Power expects the plant to be fully operational in the second half of 2016.
• As of March 31, 2016, CDA has drawn the full amount of the $591 million available debt facilities for this project.

AIE

• AIE currently operates an 18 MW co-generation steam turbine, and is planning to construct a 140 MW power plant, with construction expected to commence in mid-2016. IC Power expects that the total cost of completing the AIE plant (including the $16 million consideration for the acquisition of AIE and the construction of the power station) will be approximately $250 million. In January 2016, AIE entered into a $155 million EPC contract in connection with the project, and the AIE plant is expected to reach its commercial operation date in the second half of 2018.

Qoros⁴ 
Kenon recognizes 50% of Qoros' results under "share in income from associates." The discussion below reflects 100% of Qoros' financial results.

See Appendix E for Qoros' unaudited consolidated financial information.

Revenues
Revenues increased by RMB219 million ($34 million) or 75% to RMB512 million ($80 million) in Q1 2016 compared to RMB293 million ($45 million) in Q1 2015, primarily resulting from an increase in vehicle sales to approximately 4,900 vehicles in Q1 2016 from approximately 2,500 vehicles in Q1 2015.

Cost of sales increased by RMB292 million ($45 million) or 92% to RMB611 million ($95 million) in Q1 2016 compared to RMB319 million ($50 million) in Q1 2015, primarily resulting from the increase in the number of vehicles sold in Q1 2016.

Selling and Distribution Expenses
Selling and distribution expenses decreased by RMB46 million ($7 million) or 46% to RMB54 million ($8 million) in Q1 2016 compared to RMB100 million ($16 million) in Q1 2015, primarily resulting from a reduction in advertising, marketing and promotion and consulting and personnel expenses due to changes in Qoros' marketing and sales strategy and cost-cutting efforts.

Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses decreased by RMB45 million ($7 million) or 33% to RMB93 million ($14 million) in Q1 2016, compared to RMB138 million ($21 million) in Q1 2015, primarily resulting from a reduction in personnel fees, consulting fees and depreciation and amortization expenses in Q1 2016 as compared to Q1 2015.

Net Finance Costs
Net finance costs decreased by RMB34 million ($5 million) or 41% to RMB49 million ($8 million) in Q1 2016, compared to RMB83 million ($13 million) in Q1 2015, primarily reflecting a RMB23 million ($4 million) increase in finance income due to a net foreign exchange gain in Q1 2016 and an RMB11 million ($2 million) decrease in finance costs.

Loss for the Period
Loss for the period decreased by RMB134 million ($21 million) or 30% to RMB308 million ($48 million) in Q1 2016, compared to RMB442 million ($69 million) in Q1 2015.

⁴ Convenience translation of RMB amounts into USD use a rate of 6.44:1.

Liquidity

In the first quarter of 2016, Kenon made shareholder loans to Qoros of RMB275 million ($42 million), fulfilling Kenon's outstanding loan commitments to Qoros. Kenon's joint venture partner, Wuhu Chery, made shareholder loans to Qoros in the same amount and on similar conditions.

As of March 31, 2016, Qoros had total loans and borrowings (excluding shareholder loans) of RMB5.8 billion ($901 million). Also as of this date, Qoros had current liabilities (excluding shareholder loans) of RMB4.8 billion ($745 million), including trade and other payables of RMB3 billion ($466 million) and current assets of RMB1.7 billion ($280 million), including cash and cash equivalents of RMB223 million ($35 million). Qoros actively manages its trade payables, accrued expenses and other operating expenses in connection with the management of its liquidity requirements and available resources.

In April 2016, Ansonia Holdings Singapore B.V. ("Ansonia"), which owns approximately 46% of the outstanding shares of Kenon, entered into an agreement to provide loans in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million, at its discretion, to Quantum (2007) LLC ("Quantum") (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kenon, which is the direct owner of Kenon's 50% interest in Qoros), and Quantum will provide these loans to Qoros. Ansonia and Wuhu Chery each funded approximately $25 million of these loans in May 2016, with remaining amounts expected to be funded subsequently, at the discretion of Ansonia and Wuhu Chery. In light of the investments that have been made by Kenon in Qoros, including guarantees provided by Kenon, and Kenon's strategy to refrain from material "cross-allocation" (i.e., investing returns from one business into another), Kenon did not make any loans or other investments in Qoros as part of this transaction. For further information on the structure and terms of Ansonia's agreement to provide loans to Qoros, see Exhibit 99.1 to Kenon's Report on Form 6-K, dated April 22, 2016.

Qoros' principal sources of liquidity are cash flows received from financing activities, including long-term loans, short-term facilities and inflows received in connection with the capital contributions (in the form of equity contributions, or convertible or non-convertible shareholder loans) as well as cash flows received from vehicle sales. Qoros has drawn substantially all of the available amounts under its existing long term credit facilities and will require additional financing, including the renewal or refinancing of its working capital facilities, to fund its continued development and operations. Qoros is continuing to seek additional financing for its operations.

Business Updates

Car Sales
In the first three months of 2016 (which includes the Chinese new year, a traditionally slower time for car sales), Qoros' sales increased by approximately 97% to approximately 4,900 vehicles, as compared to approximately 2,500 vehicles in Q1 2015.

In April 2016, Qoros' sales increased by approximately 29% to approximately 1,680 vehicles, as compared to approximately 1,300 vehicles in April 2015.

SUV and New Model Launches
In March 2016, Qoros launched the Qoros 5 SUV, a mid-sized SUV designed and produced with international standards of quality, safety and performance for the fast-growing SUV market in China.

Qoros has also launched the new 2016 model year versions of the Qoros 3 Sedan and the Qoros 3 Hatch. In addition, Qoros introduced two additional trims for each of the Qoros 3 Sedan and the Qoros 3 Hatch.

Dealerships
As of March 31, 2016, Qoros' dealerships included 86 fully operational points of sales, 7 additional points of sales under construction, and Memorandums of Understanding with respect to the potential development of 9 additional points of sales.

China Vehicle Market Conditions
According to China Passenger Car Association, cumulative passenger vehicle wholesales in Q1 2016 increased by 6% YoY, as compared to 11% YoY in Q1 2015. The SUV segment continued to be a high-growth segment, as sales increased by approximately 49% YoY in Q1 2016, as compared to 48% YoY in Q1 2015, while sedan sales decreased by approximately 12% YoY in Q1 2016.

The decline in the industry's overall growth rate that occurred in 2015 in connection with volatility in the Chinese financial markets and a slowdown in the Chinese economy resulted in increased competition in China's automotive market through price reductions. It is expected that dealers, OEMs, Qoros, and many of Qoros' competitors will continue to reduce prices and offer further inducements to purchase vehicles in 2016.

ZIM 
ZIM carried approximately 577 thousand TEUs in Q1 2016, representing 3% growth as compared to Q1 2015, in which ZIM carried approximately 560 thousand TEUs. In Q1 2016, ZIM's revenues were approximately $630 million, as compared to approximately $792 million in Q1 2015, reflecting an approximately 25% decline in ZIM's average revenue per TEU as a result of a decline in industry container freight rates. ZIM's net loss attributable to ZIM's owners in Q1 2016 was $58 million, compared to net income of $11 million in Q1 2015.

The container shipping industry has continued to experience an imbalance of supply and demand. Since the second half of 2015, freight rates have fallen sharply in most of the trade zones – reaching historical lows across major trades in Q1 2016 – mainly as a result of excess capacity. The impact to net income from the decline in freight rates has been offset, in part, by the current relatively low price of bunker, one of ZIM's significant costs, which also decreased during this period.

ZIM publishes its results on its website. For more information, see www.ZIM.com. This website, and any information referenced therein, is not incorporated by reference herein.

Kenon (Unconsolidated) Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2016, cash, gross debt, and net debt (a non-IFRS financial measure, which is defined as gross debt minus cash) at Kenon were $7 million, $162 million and $155 million, respectively.

As of March 31, 2016, the total drawings outstanding under Kenon's $200 million credit facility from Israel Corporation Ltd. amounted to $150 million. In April 2016, Kenon drew down the remaining $50 million under the credit facility, and as a result, $200 million, plus interest and fees of $14 million, is currently outstanding. The April drawing was intended to provide Kenon with additional cash resources in light of its liquidity position and its obligations under its indirect guarantees of Qoros' indebtedness.

Kenon has provided back-to-back guarantees to Chery in respect of Chery's guarantees of certain Qoros' indebtedness. Set forth below is an overview of the guarantees provided by Kenon in respect of Qoros' indebtedness:

1. In the event that Chery's liability under its guarantee exceeds RMB1.5 billion, Kenon has committed to negotiate with Chery in good faith to find a solution so that Kenon's and Chery's liabilities for the indebtedness of Qoros under this credit facility are equal in proportion.

2. In the event that Chery is obligated under its guarantee of the EXIM Bank loan facility to make payments that exceed Kenon's obligations under the guarantee, Kenon and Chery have agreed to try to find an acceptable solution, but without any obligation on Kenon to be liable for more than the amounts set forth in the table above.

Investors' Conference Call

Kenon's management will host a conference call for investors and analysts on June 8, 2016. To participate, please call one of the following teleconferencing numbers:

The call will commence at 9:00am Eastern Time, 6:00am Pacific Time, 2:00pm UK Time, 4:00pm Israel Time and 9:00pm Singapore Time.

Appendix B

IC Power's Adjusted EBITDA

This press release, including the financial tables, presents IC Power's Adjusted EBITDA, a financial metric considered to be "non-IFRS." Non-IFRS financial measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, IFRS financial measures. The non-IFRS financial information presented herein should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for operating income, net income or per share data prepared in accordance with IFRS.

IC Power defines "Adjusted EBITDA" for the periods covered in this report for each entity as income, before depreciation and amortization, financing expenses, net and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is not recognized under IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting principles as measures of financial performance and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or loss, cash flow from operations or other measures of operating performance or liquidity determined in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted 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. Adjusted EBITDA presents limitations that impair its use as a measure of IC Power's profitability since it does not take into consideration certain costs and expenses that result from IC Power's business that could have a significant effect on IC Power's net income, such as financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, capital expenses and other related charges.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of IC Power's, and each of its segments', net income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, and therefore this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
