Members of the Company
Kenon Holdings Ltd.
Kenon Holdings Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Kenon Holdings Ltd. (‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2021, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, as set out on pages F-8 to F-102.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act and Financial Reporting Standards in Singapore (‘FRSs’) so as to give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group and the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2021 and of the consolidated financial performance, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows of the Group for the year ended on that date.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing (‘SSAs’). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the ‘Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (‘ACRA Code’) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Singapore, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ACRA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
KPMG LLP (Registration No. T08LL1267L), an accounting limited liability partnership registered in Singapore under the Limited Liability Partnership Act (Chapter 163A) and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee. |

Evaluation of fair value of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed | |
The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
Refer to Notes 2.D.1 and 10.A.1.i. On January 25 2021, the Group acquired 70% of the rights and holdings in CPV Power Holdings LP; Competitive Power Ventures Inc.; and CPV Renewable Energy Company Inc. through the limited partnership, CPV Group LP (“the CPV Group”). The fair value of the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $580 million included property, plant, and equipment, investments in associated companies and intangible assets of the CPV Group. The valuation technique used for measuring the fair values of the property, plant and equipment, investments in associated companies and intangible assets on the transaction completion date is the income approach, a present value technique to convert future amounts to a single current amount using relevant discount rates. We identified the evaluation of the transaction completion date fair values of the property, plant and equipment, investments in associated companies and intangible assets of the CPV Group as a key audit matter. A high degree of auditor judgement was required in evaluating the discount rates used to estimate the fair values of these assets. Minor changes to the discount rates could have had a significant effect on the Group’s evaluation of the transaction completion date fair values. Additionally, the audit effort to evaluate the discount rates required specialized skills and knowledge. | We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Group’s process in the determination of the discount rates to estimate the fair values of the property, plant and equipment, investments in associated companies and intangible assets. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating such discount rates, by comparing such discount rates used by the Group against discount rate ranges that were independently developed utilizing publicly available market data for comparable entities. |
Other information
Management is responsible for the other information contained in the annual report. Other information is defined as all information in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditors’ report thereon.
We have obtained all other information prior to the date of this auditors’ report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
F - 4
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001178913-22-001602/image0.jpg)
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of management and directors for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the provisions of the Act and FRSs, and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide a reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition; and transactions are properly authorised and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair financial statements and to maintain accountability of assets.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors’ responsibilities include overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. |
• | Obtain an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls. |
• | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
F - 5
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/6-K/0001178913-22-001602/image0.jpg)
• | Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. |
• | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
• | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controls that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless the law or regulations preclude public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Kenon Holdings Ltd.
Note 1 – Financial Reporting Principles and Accounting Policies
A. | The Reporting Entity |
Kenon Holdings Ltd. (the “Company” or “Kenon”) was incorporated on March 7, 2014 in the Republic of Singapore under the Singapore Companies Act. Our principal place of business is located at 1 Temasek Avenue #37-02B, Millenia Tower, Singapore 039192.
The Company is a holding company and was incorporated to receive investments spun-off from their former parent company, Israel Corporation Ltd. (“IC”). The Company serves as the holding company of several businesses (together referred to as the “Group”).
Kenon shares are traded on New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and on Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (“TASE”) (NYSE and TASE: KEN).
B. | Definitions |
In these consolidated financial statements -
1. Subsidiaries – Companies whose financial statements are fully consolidated with those of Kenon, directly or indirectly.
2. Associates – Companies in which Kenon has significant influence and Kenon’s investment is stated, directly or indirectly, on the equity basis.
3. Investee companies – subsidiaries and/or associated companies and/or long-term investment (Qoros).
4. Related parties – within the meaning thereof in Financial Reporting Standards 24 Related Parties.
Note 2 – Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements
A. | Declaration of compliance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) |
The consolidated financial statements were prepared by management of the Group in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”).
The consolidated financial statements were approved for issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors on March 31, 2022.

• | Deferred tax assets and liabilities |
• | Derivative instruments |
• | Assets and liabilities in respect of employee benefits |

• | Long-term investment (Qoros) |
For additional information regarding measurement of these assets and liabilities – see Note 3 Significant Accounting Policies.
F - 17
Note 2 – Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements (Cont’d)
D. | Use of estimates and judgment |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with FRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
1. | Allocation of acquisition costs |
The Group makes estimates with respect to allocation of excess consideration to tangible and intangible assets and to liabilities. The Group has considered the report from a qualified external valuer to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for this assessment. The valuation technique used for measuring the fair values of the material assets: property, plant and equipment, investment in associated companies, and intangible assets is the income approach, a present value technique to convert future amounts to a single current amount using relevant discount rates. The respective discount rates are estimates and require judgment and minor changes to the discount rates could have had a significant effect on the Group’s evaluation of the transaction completion date fair values of the material assets. Refer to Note 10.A.1.i for further details.
In addition, in determining the depreciation rates of the tangible, intangible assets and liabilities, the Group estimates the expected life of the asset or liability.
2. | Long-term investment (Qoros) |
Following the sale of half of the Group’s remaining interest in Qoros (i.e. 12%) as described in Note 9.3, as at December 31, 2020, the Group owned a 12% interest in Qoros. The long-term investment (Qoros) was a combination of the Group’s remaining 12% interest in Qoros and the non-current portion of the put option (as described in Note 9.2). The long-term investment (Qoros) was determined using a combination of market comparison technique based on market multiples derived from the quoted prices of comparable companies adjusted for various considerations, and the binomial model. Fair value measurement of the long-term investment (Qoros) took into account the underlying asset’s price volatility.
In April 2021, Quantum entered into an agreement to sell its remaining 12% equity interest in Qoros. As a result, Kenon accounted for the fair value of the long-term investment (Qoros) based on the present value of the expected cash flows. Refer to Note 9.5 for further details.
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise stated.
A. | First-time application of new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations |
The Group has adopted a few new standards which are effective from January 1, 2021 but they do not have a material effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
B. | Basis for consolidation/combination |
(1) | Business combinations |
The Group accounts for all business combinations according to the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Group. In determining whether a particular set of activities and assets is a business, the Group assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input and substantive process and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs.
The Group has an option to apply a ‘concentration test’ that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and asssets is not a business. The optional concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.
The acquisition date is the date on which the Group obtains control over an acquiree. Control exists when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the acquiree and it has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the acquiree. Substantive rights held by the Group and others are taken into account when assessing control.
The Group recognizes goodwill on acquisition according to the fair value of the consideration transferred less the net amount of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired less the fair value of liabilities assumed. Goodwill is initially recognized as an asset based on its cost, and is measured in succeeding periods based on its cost less accrued losses from impairment of value.
F - 18
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
For purposes of examining impairment of value, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash‑generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergy of the business combination. Cash‑generating units to which goodwill was allocated are examined for purposes of assessment of impairment of their value every year or more frequently where there are signs indicating a possible impairment of value of the unit, as stated. Where the recoverable amount of a cash‑generating unit is less than the carrying value in the books of that cash‑generating unit, the loss from impairment of value is allocated first to reduction of the carrying value in the books of any goodwill attributed to that cash‑generating unit. Thereafter, the balance of the loss from impairment of value, if any, is allocated to other assets of the cash‑generating unit, in proportion to their carrying values in the books. A loss from impairment of value of goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
If the Group pays a bargain price for the acquisition (meaning including negative goodwill), it recognizes the resulting gain in profit or loss on the acquisition date.
The Group recognizes contingent consideration at fair value at the acquisition date. The contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument that is not classified as equity will be measured at fair value through profit or loss; contingent consideration classified as equity shall not be remeasured and its subsequent settlement shall be accounted for within equity.
Furthermore, goodwill is not adjusted in respect of the utilization of carry-forward tax losses that existed on the date of the business combination.
Costs associated with acquisitions that were incurred by the acquirer in the business combination such as: finder’s fees, advisory, legal, valuation and other professional or consulting fees are expensed in the period the services are received.
(2) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date when control ceased. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company.
(3) Non-Controlling Interest (“NCI”)
NCI comprises the equity of a subsidiary that cannot be attributed, directly or indirectly, to the parent company, and they include additional components such as: share-based payments that will be settled with equity instruments of the subsidiaries and options for shares of subsidiaries.
NCIs are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
Changes in the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
Measurement of non-controlling interests on the date of the business combination
Non-controlling interests, which are instruments that convey a present ownership right and that grant to their holder a share in the net assets in a case of liquidation, are measured on the date of the business combination at fair value or based on their relative share in the identified assets and liabilities of the entity acquired, on the basis of every transaction separately.
Transactions with NCI, while retaining control
Transactions with NCI while retaining control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the consideration paid or received and the change in NCI is included directly in equity.
Allocation of comprehensive income to the shareholders
Profit or loss and any part of other comprehensive income are allocated to the owners of the Group and the NCI. Total comprehensive income is allocated to the owners of the Group and the NCI even if the result is a negative balance of NCI.
Furthermore, when the holding interest in the subsidiary changes, while retaining control, the Group re-attributes the accumulated amounts that were recognized in other comprehensive income to the owners of the Group and the NCI.
Cash flows deriving from transactions with holders of NCI while retaining control are classified under “financing activities” in the statement of cash flows.
Loss of control
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.
F - 19
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
(4) | Investments in equity-accounted investees |
Associates are entities in which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. In assessing significant influence, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible into shares of the investee are taken into account.
Joint-ventures are arrangements in which the Group has joint control, whereby the Group has the rights to assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities.
Associates and joint-venture are accounted for using the equity method (equity accounted investees) and are recognized initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the income and expenses in profit or loss and of other comprehensive income of equity accounted investees, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
The Group’s share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognized in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term interests that form part thereof, is reduced to zero. When the Group’s share of long-term interests that form a part of the investment in the investee is different from its share in the investee’s equity, the Group continues to recognize its share of the investee’s losses, after the equity investment was reduced to zero, according to its economic interest in the long-term interests, after the equity interests were reduced to zero. When the group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the entity’s net investment in the associate, the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to support the investee or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
(5) Loss of significant influence
The Group discontinues applying the equity method from the date it loses significant influence in an associate and it accounts for the retained investment as a financial asset, as relevant.
On the date of losing significant influence, the Group measures at fair value any retained interest it has in the former associate. The Group recognizes in profit or loss any difference between the sum of the fair value of the retained interest and any proceeds received from the partial disposal of the investment in the associate or joint venture, and the carrying amount of the investment on that date.
Amounts recognized in equity through other comprehensive income with respect to such associates are reclassified to profit or loss or to retained earnings in the same manner that would have been applicable if the associate had itself disposed the related assets or liabilities.
(6) | Change in interest held in equity accounted investees while retaining significant influence |
When the Group increases its interest in an equity accounted investee while retaining significant influence, it implements the acquisition method only with respect to the additional interest obtained whereas the previous interest remains the same.
When there is a decrease in the interest in an equity accounted investee while retaining significant influence, the Group derecognizes a proportionate part of its investment and recognizes in profit or loss a gain or loss from the sale under other income or other expenses.
Furthermore, on the same date, a proportionate part of the amounts recognized in equity through other comprehensive income with respect to the same equity accounted investee are reclassified to profit or loss or to retained earnings in the same manner that would have been applicable if the associate had itself realized the same assets or liabilities.
(7) | Intra-group transactions |
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
(8) | Reorganizations under common control transactions |
Common control transactions that involve the setup of a new group company and the combination of entities under common control are recorded using the book values of the parent company.
F - 20
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
C. | Foreign currency |
(1) | Foreign currency transactions |
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost would be reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Foreign currency differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for differences relating to qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent the hedge is effective which are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(2) | Foreign operations |
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into US dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into US dollars at average exchange rates over the relevant period.
Foreign operation translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When the foreign operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, then the relevant proportionate share of the foreign operation translation difference is allocated to the NCI.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control or significant influence is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as a part of the gain or loss on disposal.
Furthermore, when the Group’s interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation changes, while retaining control in the subsidiary, a proportionate part of the cumulative amount of the translation difference that was recognized in other comprehensive income is reattributed to NCI.
When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate that includes a foreign operation, while retaining significant influence, the proportionate part of the cumulative amount of the translation difference is reclassified to profit or loss.
Generally, foreign currency differences from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, including foreign operations that are subsidiaries, are recognized in profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income, and are presented within equity in the translation reserve.
D. | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value.

E. | Financial Instruments |
a) | Classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities |
Initial recognition and measurement
The Group initially recognizes trade receivables on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized on the date on which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. As a rule, a financial asset, other than a trade receivable without a significant financing component, or a financial liability, is initially measured at fair value with the addition, for a financial asset or a financial liability that are not presented at fair value through profit or loss, of transaction costs that can be directly attributed to the acquisition or the issuance of the financial asset or the financial liability. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are initially measured at the transaction price. Trade receivables originating in contract assets are initially measured at the carrying amount of the contract assets on the date of reclassification from contract assets to receivables.
Financial assets - classification and subsequent measurement
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as measured at amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income; or fair value through profit or loss. As at reporting date, the Group only holds financial assets measured at amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss.
Financial assets are not reclassified in subsequent periods, unless, and only to the extent that the Group changes its business model for the management of financial assets, in which case the affected financial assets are reclassified at the beginning of the reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets the two following cumulative conditions and is not designated for measurement at fair value through profit or loss:
- | The objective of the entity's business model is to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows; and |
- | The contractual terms of the financial asset create entitlement on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
The Group has balances of trade and other receivables and deposits that are held under a business model the objective of which is collection of the contractual cash flows. The contractual cash flows in respect of such financial assets comprise solely payments of principal and interest that reflects consideration for the time-value of the money and the credit risk. Accordingly, such financial assets are measured at amortized cost.
b) | Subsequent measurement |
In subsequent periods, these assets are measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method and net of impairment losses. Interest income, currency exchange gains or losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gains or losses on derecognition are also recognized in profit or loss.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income as described above are measured at fair value through profit or loss. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise. In subsequent periods, these assets are measured at fair value. Net gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets: Business model assessment
The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:
• the stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realising
cash flows through the sale of the assets;
F - 22
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
• how the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s management;
• the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;
• how managers of the business are compensated – e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and
• the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.
Non-derivative financial assets: Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:
• contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
• terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features;
• prepayment and extension features; and
• terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a significant discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its statement of financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets, the transferred assets are not derecognized.
Financial liabilities – Initial classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss if it is held for trading or it is designated as such on initial recognition, and are measured at fair value, and any net gains and losses, including any interest expenses, are recognized in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. They are measured at amortized cost in subsequent periods, using the effective interest method. Interest expenses and currency exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gains or losses on derecognition are also recognized in profit or loss.
F - 23
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognized when the contractual obligation of the Group expires or when it is discharged or canceled. Additionally, a significant amendment of the terms of an existing financial liability, or an exchange of debt instruments having substantially different terms, between an existing borrower and lender, are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability at fair value.
The difference between the carrying amount of the extinguished financial liability and the consideration paid (including any other non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed), is recognized in profit or loss.
Offset
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
c) | Impairment |
Financial assets, contract assets and receivables on a lease
The Group creates a provision for expected credit losses in respect of:
- | Contract assets (as defined in FRS 115); |
- | Financial assets measured at amortized cost; |
- | Financial guarantees; |
- | Lease receivables. |
Simplified approach
The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for ECLs for all trade receivables (including lease receivables) and contract assets. The simplified approach requires the loss allowance to be measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
General approach
The Group applies the general approach to provide for ECLs on all other financial instruments and financial guarantees. Under the general approach, the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to the 12-month ECLs at initial recognition.
At each reporting date, the Group assess whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial asset has significantly increased since initial recognition and in assessing expected credit losses, the Group takes into consideration information that is reasonable and verifiable, relevant and attainable at no excessive cost or effort. Such information comprises quantitative and qualitative information, as well as an analysis, based on the past experience of the Group and the reported credit assessment, and contains forward-looking information.
If credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition or if the credit quality of the financial instruments improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
The Group assumes that the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition whenever contractual payments are more than 30 days in arrears.
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default if:
- | It is not probable that the borrower will fully meet its payment obligations to the Company, and the Company has no right to perform actions such as the realization of collaterals (if any); or |
- | The contractual payments in respect of the financial asset are more than 90 days in arrears. |
The Group considers a contract asset to be in default when the customer is unlikely to pay its contractual obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realizing security.
The Group considers a debt instrument as having a low credit risk if its credit risk coincides with the global structured definition of “investment rating”.
F - 24
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
The credit losses expected over the life of the instrument are expected credit losses arising from all potential default events throughout the life of the financial instrument.
Expected credit losses in a 12-month period are the portion of the expected credit losses arising from potential default events during the period of 12 months from the reporting date.
The maximum period that is taken into account in assessing the expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
Measurement of expected credit losses
Expected credit losses represent a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured at the present value of the difference between the cash flows to which the Group is entitled under the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive.
Expected credit losses are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
The Group’s credit risk exposure for trade receivables and contract asset are set out in Note 28 Financial Instruments.
Financial assets impaired by credit risk
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and debt instruments that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income have become impaired by credit risk. A financial asset is impaired by credit risk upon the occurrence of one or more of the events (i.e. significant financial difficulty of the debtor) that adversely affect the future cash flows estimated for such financial asset.
Presentation of impairment
A provision for expected credit losses in respect of a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost is presented as a reduction of the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
Impairment losses in respect of trade and other receivables, including contract assets and lease receivables, are presented separately in the statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Impairment losses in respect of other financial assets are presented under financing expenses.
Derivative financial instruments, including hedge accounting
The Group holds derivative financial instruments.
Derivatives are recognized initially at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.
The Group designates certain derivative financial instruments as hedging instruments in qualifying hedging relationships. At inception of designated hedging relationships, the Group documents the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The Group also documents the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, including whether the changes in cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument are expected to offset each other.
Hedge accounting
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, hedge relationships designated for hedge accounting under FRS 39 qualify for hedge accounting under FRS 109, and are therefore deemed as continuing hedge relationships.
Cash flow hedges
When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized in OCI and accumulated in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The amount accumulated in equity is retained in OCI and reclassified to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss.
If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amount accumulated in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.
F - 25
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
Financial guarantees
The Group irrevocably elects on a contract by contract basis, whether to account for a financial guarantee in accordance with FRS 109 or FRS 104.
The Group considers a financial guarantee to be in default when the debtor of the loan is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the creditor.
When the Group elects to account for financial guarantees in accordance with FRS 109, they are initially measured at fair value. Subsequently, they are measured at the higher of the loss allowance determined in accordance with FRS 109 and the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognized in accordance with the principles of FRS 115.
When the Group elects to account for financial guarantees in accordance with FRS 104, a provision is measured in accordance with FRS 37 when the financial guarantees become probable of being exercised.
F. | Property, plant and equipment, net |
(1) | Recognition and measurement |
Items of property, plant and equipment comprise mainly power station structures, power distribution facilities and related offices. These items are measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
• | The cost of materials and direct labor; |
• | Any other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to a working condition for their intended use; |
• | Spare parts, servicing equipment and stand-by equipment; |
• | When the Group has an obligation to remove the assets or restore the site, an estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located; and |
• | Capitalized borrowing costs. |
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment items have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognized.
(2) | Subsequent Cost |
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group, and its cost can be measured reliably.
(3) | Depreciation |
Depreciation is calculated to reduce the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognized in profit or loss. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Freehold land is not depreciated. Diesel oil and spare parts are expensed off when they are used or consumed. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed by management of the Group at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
The following useful lives shown on an average basis are applied across the Group:
Years | |
Roads, buildings and leasehold improvements (*) | 3 – 30 |
Facilities, machinery and equipment | 5 – 30 |
Wind turbines | 35 |
Computers | 3 |
Office furniture and equipment | 3 – 16 |
Others | 5 – 15 |
* The shorter of the lease term and useful life
F - 26
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
G. | Intangible assets, net |
(1) | Recognition and measurement |
Goodwill | Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. In respect of equity accounted investees, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment; and any impairment loss is allocated to the carrying amount of the equity investee as a whole. |
Customer relationships | Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination and are recognized separately from goodwill if the assets are separable or arise from contractual or other legal rights and their fair value can be measured reliably. Customer relationships are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Other intangible assets | Other intangible assets, including licenses, patents and trademarks, which are acquired by the Group having finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. |
(2) | Amortization |
Amortization is calculated to charge to expense the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their useful lives, and is generally recognized in profit or loss. Goodwill is not amortized.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative year are as follows:
• | Power purchase agreement | 10 years |
• | Others | 1-33 years |
Amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed by management of the Group at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(3) | Subsequent expenditure |
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill is expensed as incurred.
H. | Service Concession arrangements |
The Group has examined the characteristics, conditions and terms currently in effect under its electric energy distribution license and the guidelines established by INT FRS 112. On the basis of such analysis, the Group concluded that its license is outside the scope of INT FRS 112, primarily because the grantor does not control any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the arrangement and the possibility of renewal.
The Group accounts for the assets acquired or constructed in connection with the Concessions in accordance with FRS 16 Property, plant and equipment.
F - 27
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
I. | Leases |
Definition of a lease
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease by assessing if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. For lease contracts that include components that are not lease components, such as services or maintenance which relate to the lease component, the Group elected to treat the lease component separately.
As a lessee
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases – i.e. these leases are on-balance sheet. However, the Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for some leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.
The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group has applied judgement to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized.
Depreciation of right-of-use asset
Subsequent to the commencement date of the lease, a right-of-use asset is measured using the cost method, less accumulated depreciation and accrued losses from decline in value and is adjusted in respect of re‑measurements of the liability in respect of the lease. The depreciation is calculated on the “straight‑line” basis over the useful life or the contractual lease period – whichever is shorter.
Years | |
Land | 19 – 49 |
Pressure regulation and management system facility | 24 |
Offices | 3 – 9 |
J. | Borrowing costs |
Specific and non-specific borrowing costs are capitalized to qualifying assets throughout the period required for completion and construction until they are ready for their intended use. Non-specific borrowing costs are capitalized in the same manner to the same investment in qualifying assets, or portion thereof, which was not financed with specific credit by means of a rate which is the weighted-average cost of the credit sources which were not specifically capitalized. Foreign currency differences from credit in foreign currency are capitalized if they are considered an adjustment of interest costs. Other borrowing costs are expensed as incurred. Income earned on the temporary investment of specific credit received for investing in a qualifying asset is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
F - 28
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
K. | Impairment of non-financial assets |
At each reporting date, management of the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, and whenever impairment indicators exist.
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from these synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an assessment is performed at each reporting date for any indications that these losses have decreased or no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount and is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
L. | Employee benefits |
(1) | Short-term employee benefits |
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. The employee benefits are classified, for measurement purposes, as short-term benefits or as other long-term benefits depending on when the Group expects the benefits to be wholly settled.
(2) | Bonus plans transactions |
The Group’s senior executives receive remuneration in the form of share-appreciations rights, which can only be settled in cash (cash-settled transactions). The cost of cash-settled transactions is measured initially at the grant date and is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to payment. With respect to grants made to senior executives of OPC Energy Ltd (“OPC”), this benefit is calculated by determining the present value of the settlement (execution) price set forth in the plan. The liability is re-measured at each reporting date and at the settlement date based on the formulas described above. Any changes in the liability are recognized as operating expenses in profit or loss.
(3) | Termination Benefits |
Severance pay is charged to income statement when there is a clear obligation to pay termination of employees before they reach the customary age of retirement according to a formal, detailed plan, without any reasonable chance of cancellation. The benefits given to employees upon voluntary retirement are charged when the Group proposes a plan to the employees encouraging voluntary retirement, it is expected that the proposal will be accepted and the number of employee acceptances can be estimated reliably.
(4) | Defined Benefit Plans |
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed at the end of each reporting period by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. Remeasurements of the defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in OCI. Interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plan are recognized in profit or loss.
F - 29
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(5) | Share-based compensation plans |
Qualifying employees are awarded grants of the Group’s shares under the Group’s 2014 Share Incentive Plan (“Share Incentive Plan”). The fair value of the grants are recognized as an employee compensation expense, with a corresponding increase in equity over the service period – the period that the employee must remain employed to receive the benefit of the award. At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of grants that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates in employee expenses and in a corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period.
M. | Provisions |
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as finance cost.
N. | Revenue recognition |
The Group recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control over the promised goods or services. The revenue is measured according to the amount of the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services promised to the customer.
Revenues from the sale of electricity and steam are recognized in the period in which the sale takes place in accordance with the price set in the electricity sale agreements and the quantities of electricity supplied. Furthermore, the Group’s revenues include revenues from the provision of asset management services to power plants and recognized in accordance to the service provision rate.
When setting the transaction price, the Group takes into consideration fixed amounts and amounts that may vary as a result of discounts, credits, price concessions, penalties, claims and disputes and contract modifications that the consideration in their respect has not yet been agreed by the parties.
The Group includes variable consideration, or part of it, in the transaction price only when it is highly probable that its inclusion will not result in a significant revenue reversal in the future when the uncertainty has been subsequently resolved. At the end of each reporting period and if necessary, the Group revises the amount of the variable consideration included in the transaction price.
Key agent or a principal
When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the Group shall determine whether the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to provide the specified or services itself (i.e., the Group is a principal) or to arrange for those services to be provided by the other party (i.e., the Group is an agent), and therefore recognizes the revenue as the net fee amount.
The Group is a principal if it controls the specified service before that service is transferred to a customer. Indicators that the Group controls the specified service before it is transferred to the customer include the following: The Group is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified service; the entity bears a risk before the specified service has been transferred to a customer; and the Group has discretion in establishing the price for the specified service.
F - 30
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
O. | Government grants |
Government grants related to distribution projects are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received. Government grants are recorded at the value of the grant received and any difference between this value and the actual construction cost is recognized in profit or loss of the year in which the asset is released.
Government grants related to distribution assets are deducted from the related assets. They are recognized in statement of income on a systematic basic over the useful life of the related asset reducing the depreciation expense.
P. | Deposits received from consumers |
Deposits received from consumers, plus interest accrued and less any outstanding debt for past services, are refundable to the users when they cease using the electric energy service rendered by the Group. The Group has classified these deposits as current liabilities since the Group does not have legal rights to defer these payments in a period that exceed a year. However, the Group does not anticipate making significant payments in the next year.
Q. | Energy purchase |
Costs from energy purchases either acquired in the spot market or from contracts with suppliers are recorded on an accrual basis according to the energy actually delivered. Purchases of electric energy, including those which have not yet been billed as of the reporting date, are recorded based on estimates of the energy supplied at the prices prevailing in the spot market or agreed-upon in the respective purchase agreements, as the case may be.
R. | Financing income and expenses |
Financing income includes income from interest on amounts invested and gains from exchange rate differences. Interest income is recognized as accrued, using the effective interest method.
Financing expenses include interest on loans received, commitment fees on borrowings, and changes in the fair value of derivatives financial instruments presented at fair value through profit or loss, and exchange rate losses. Borrowing costs, which are not capitalized, are recorded in the income statement using the effective interest method.
In the statements of cash flows, interest received is presented as part of cash flows from investing activities. Dividends received are presented as part of cash flows from operating activities. Interest paid and dividends paid are presented as part of cash flows from financing activities. Accordingly, financing costs that were capitalized to qualifying assets are presented together with interest paid as part of cash flows from financing activities. Gains and losses from exchange rate differences and gains and losses from derivative financial instruments are reported on a net basis as financing income or expenses, based on the fluctuations on the rate of exchange and their position (net gain or loss).
The Group’s finance income and finance costs include:
• | Interest income; |
• | Interest expense; |
• | The net gain or loss on the disposal of held-for-sale financial assets; |
• | The net gain or loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss; |
• | The foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and financial liabilities; |
• | The fair value loss on contingent consideration classified as financial liability; |
• | Impairment losses recognized on financial assets (other than trade receivables); |
• | The net gain or loss on hedging instruments that are recognized in profit or loss; and |
• | The reclassification of net gains previously recognized in OCI. |
Interest income or expense is recognized using the effective interest method.
F - 31
Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
S. | Income taxes |
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in OCI.
(i) Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax liability arising from dividends.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for:
• | Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; |
• | Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and associates where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is not probable that they will reverse it in the foreseeable future; and |
• | Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. |
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profit improves.
Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.
Management of the Group regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability, taking into consideration all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical pre-tax and taxable income, projected future pre-tax and taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. In arriving at these judgments, the weight given to the potential effect of all positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified.
Management believes the Group’s tax positions are in compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The Group believes that its liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, including related interest, are adequate in relation to the potential for additional tax assessments. There is a risk, however, that the amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of audits could be materially different from the amounts previously included in our income tax expense and, therefore, could have a material impact on our tax provision, net income and cash flows.
(iii) Uncertain tax positions
A provision for uncertain tax positions, including additional tax and interest expenses, is recognized when it is more probable than not that the Group will have to use its economic resources to pay the obligation.

T. | Earnings per share |
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary share capital. The basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income or loss allocable to the Group’s ordinary equity holders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The diluted earnings per share are determined by adjusting the income or loss allocable to ordinary equity holders and the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares including options for shares granted to employees.
U. | Share capital – ordinary shares |
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares, net of any tax effects, are recognized as a deduction from equity.
V. | Discontinued operations |
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group´s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:
• | Represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations, |
• | Is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations; or |
• | Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to re-sell. |
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative year.
The changes in each cash flow based on operating, investing and financing activities are reported in Note 25 Discontinued Operations.
W. | Operating segment and geographic information |
The Company's CEO and CFO are considered to be the Group's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). As at December 31, 2021, based on the internal financial information provided to the CODM, the Group has determined that it has four reportable segments, which are OPC Israel, CPV Group, ZIM and Quantum. These segments are based on the different services offered in different geographical locations and also based on how they are managed. Comparative information has been restated.
The following summary describes the Group’s reportable segments:
1. | OPC Israel – OPC Israel Ltd. (“OPC Israel”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of OPC Energy Ltd. (“OPC”), which generates and supply electricity and energy in Israel. |
2. | CPV Group – CPV Group LP (“CPV Group”) is a limited partnership owned by OPC, which generates and supply electricity and energy in the United States. |
3. | ZIM – ZIM Integrated Shipping Services, Ltd., an associated company, is an Israeli global container shipping company. |
4. | Quantum – Quantum (2007) LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kenon which holds Kenon’s interest in Qoros Automotive Co. Ltd. (“Qoros”). Qoros is a China-based automotive company that is jointly-owned by Quantum together with Baoneng Group and Wuhu Chery Automobile Investment Co., Ltd., (“Wuhu Chery”). |
In addition to the segments detailed above, the Group has other activities, such as investment holding categorized as Others.
The CODM evaluates the operating segments performance based on Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, financing income, financing expenses, income taxes and other items.
The CODM evaluates segment assets based on total assets and segment liabilities based on total liabilities.
The accounting policies used in the determination of the segment amounts are the same as those used in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements, Inter-segment pricing is determined based on transaction prices occurring in the ordinary course of business.
In determining the information to be presented on a geographical basis, revenue is based on the geographic location of the customer and non-current assets are based on the geographic location of the assets.

Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (Cont’d)
X. | Inventories |
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of raw material inventories is determined using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. The cost of inventories of finished goods is determined on the basis of average cost, including materials, labor and the attributable share of production overheads, based on normal capacity.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs required for the sale.
Y. | Transactions with controlling shareholders |
Assets, liabilities and benefits with respect to which a transaction is executed with the controlling shareholders are measured at fair value on the transaction date. The Group records the difference between the fair value and the consideration in equity.
Z. | New standards and interpretations not yet adopted |
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2021 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The following amended standards and interpretations are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements:
- | Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to FRS 1), |
- | Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to FRS 110 and FRS 28). |
Note 4 – Determination of Fair Value
A. | Derivatives and Long-term investment (Qoros) |
See Note 28 Financial Instruments.
B. | Non-derivative financial liabilities |
Non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at their respective fair values, at initial recognition and for disclosure purposes, at each reporting date. Fair value for disclosure purposes, is determined based on the quoted trading price in the market for traded debentures, whereas for non-traded loans, debentures and other financial liabilities is determined by discounting the future cash flows in respect of the principal and interest component using the market interest rate as at the date of the report.

B. | Additional information |
a. | ZIM |
1. | The container shipping industry is characterized in recent years by volatility in freight rates, charter rates and bunker prices, accompanied by significant uncertainties in the global trade (including further implications from COVID-19, or the recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine). Current market conditions are impacted positively by increased freight rates and trade volumes. |
In view of the aforementioned business environment and in order to constantly improve ZIM’s results of operations and liquidity position, ZIM continues to optimize its network by entering into new partnerships and cooperation agreements and by upgrading its customer’s offerings, whilst seeking operational excellence and cost efficiencies. In addition, ZIM continues to explore options which may contribute to strengthen its capital and operational structure.
2. | Financial position |
As of December 31, 2021, ZIM’s total equity amounted to $4.6 billion (2020: $274 million) and its working capital amounted to $2.3 billion (2020: $50 million). During the year ended December 31, 2021, ZIM recorded operating profit of $5.8 billion (2020: $722 million; 2019: $153 million) and net profit of $4.6 billion (2020: $524 million; 2019: $(13) million).

3. | Initial public offering |
In February 2021, ZIM completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 15,000,000 ordinary shares (including shares issued upon the exercise of the underwriters’ option), for gross consideration of $225 million (before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions or other offering expenses). ZIM’s ordinary shares began trading on the NYSE on January 28, 2021.
Prior to the IPO, ZIM obtained waivers from its notes holders, subject to the completion of ZIM’s IPO, by which certain requirements and limitations in respect of repurchase of debt, incurrences of debt, vessel financing, reporting requirements and dividend distributions, were relieved or removed.
As a result of the IPO, Kenon’s interest in ZIM was diluted from 32% to 28%. Following the IPO, Kenon recognized a gain on dilution of $10 million in its consolidated financial statements in 2021.
4. | Exercise of ZIM options |
In August 2021, ZIM issued approximately 4 million shares as a result of options being exercised. As a result of the issuance, Kenon recognized a loss on dilution of approximately $27 million in its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2021, ZIM issued approximately 1.2 million shares as a result of options being exercised. As a result of the issuance, Kenon recognized a loss on dilution of approximately $13 million in its consolidated financial statements.
5. | Sales of ZIM shares |
Between September and November 2021, Kenon sold approximately 1.2 million ZIM shares at an average price of $58 per share for a total consideration of approximately $67 million. As a result, Kenon recognized a gain on sale of approximately $30 million in its consolidated financial statements. As at December 31, 2021, as a result of the sales of ZIM shares and the issuance of new shares described in Note 8.B.a.4, Kenon’s interest in ZIM reduced from 28% to 26%.

Note 8 – Investment in Associated Companies (Cont’d)
6. | Notes repurchase |
In June 2020, ZIM completed an early and full repayment of its Tranche A loans of amount $13 million. Following such repayment, certain financial covenants, such as “Total leverage ratio” and “Fixed charge cover ratio”, as well as restrictions related to assets previously securing such loans, were removed.
In September 2020, ZIM launched a tender offer to repurchase, at its own discretion, some of its notes of Tranches C and D (Series 1 and 2 Notes) up to an amount of $60 million (including related costs). In October 2020, ZIM completed the repurchase of Tranche C notes with an aggregated face value of $58 million for a total consideration (including related costs) of $47 million, resulting in a gain from repurchase of debt of $6 million.
In March 2021, ZIM made an early repayment of $85 million of its Series 1 notes (Tranche C). In June 2021, ZIM made an additional early repayment in respect of its Series 1 and Series 2 notes (Tranches C and D), of aggregate amount $349 million. This reflects a full settlement of the outstanding indebtedness related to such notes and resulted in the removal of related provisions and limitations.
7. | Dividends |
In May 2021, ZIM’s board of directors approved a dividend of approximately $2 per share (an aggregate amount of approximately $237 million), to ZIM’s shareholders of record as of the close of trading on August 25, 2021, paid on September 15, 2021. Kenon’s share was $61 million (net of taxes).
In November 2021, ZIM’s board of directors approved an additional dividend of $2.50 per share (an aggregate amount of approximately $299 million), to ZIM’s shareholders of record as of the close of trading on December 16, 2021, paid on December 27, 2021. Kenon’s share was $73 million (net of taxes).
8. | Factoring facility |
In 2019, ZIM entered into a revolving arrangement with a financial institution, subject to periodical renewals, for the recurring sale, meeting the criteria of “true sale”, of portion of receivables, designated by ZIM. According to this arrangement, an agreed portion of each designated receivable is sold to the financial institution in consideration of cash in the amount of the portion sold (limited to an aggregated amount of $100 million), net of the related fees. The collection of receivables previously sold, enables the recurring utilization of the above-mentioned limit. The true sale of the receivables under this arrangement meets the conditions for derecognition of financial assets as prescribed in FRS 109.
As at December 31, 2021, no amounts with withdrawn under this facility (2020: $2 million). Further to this arrangement, ZIM is required to comply with a minimum balance of cash (as determined in the agreement) in the amount of $125 million, as well as with other requirements customarily applied in such arrangements. As at December 31, 2021, ZIM complies with its financial covenants. ZIM’s liquidity amounts to $3.6 billion.
Subsequent to year end, the agreement was renewed to expire in February 2023.
9. | Impairment assessment |
For the purpose of FRS 28, Kenon did not identify any objective evidence that its net investment in ZIM was impaired as at 31 December 31, 2021.
Due to an improvement in ZIM’s financial performance in 2020, Kenon, independently from ZIM, appointed a third-party to perform a valuation of its 32% equity investment in ZIM in accordance with FRS 28 and FRS 36. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Kenon concluded that the carrying amount of the investment in ZIM is lower than the recoverable amount, and therefore, an impairment reversal was recognized. In 2016, Kenon recognized an impairment loss of $72 million in relation to its carrying value of ZIM. In 2017, Kenon recorded an impairment write-back of $28 million. Based on the valuation described above, in 2020, Kenon recorded a write back of impairment of $44 million in the consolidated statements of profit and loss, and after accounting for its share of profits in ZIM for the year, resulted in a carrying value in ZIM as at December 31, 2020 of $297 million.
F - 39
Note 8 – Investment in Associated Companies (Cont’d)
For the purposes of Kenon’s impairment assessment of the Group’s investment, ZIM is considered one CGU, which consists of all of ZIM’s operating assets. The recoverable amount is based on the higher of the value-in-use and the fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCOD”). The valuation is predominantly based on publicly available information and earnings of ZIM over the 12-month period to December 31, 2020. The valuation approach was based on the equity method, recognizing the cost of investment share of profits in ZIM, and subsequently to assess a maintainable level of earnings to form a view on the appropriate valuation range as at December 31, 2020.
The following data points and benchmarks were considered by the independent valuer:
1) | An implied EV/EBITDA range of 5.5x to 6.5x based on LTM EBITDA multiples of comparable companies as of latest publicly available financial information; |
2) | An estimated sustainable EBITDA computed based on the average EBITDA of the last three years; and |
3) | Costs of disposal of 2% of EV. |
The independent valuer arrived at a range of equity valued between $430 million and $585 million after adjustments for Net Debt. The fair value measurement was categorized as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs in the valuation technique used.
10. | Restrictions |
The holders of ordinary shares of ZIM are entitled to receive dividends when declared and are entitled to one vote per share at meetings of ZIM. All shares rank equally with regard to the ZIM's residual assets, except as disclosed below.
In the framework of the process of privatizing ZIM, all the State of Israel’s holdings in ZIM (about 48.6%) were acquired by IC pursuant to an agreement from February 5, 2004. As part of the process, ZIM allotted to the State of Israel a Special State Share so that it could protect the vital interests of the State.
On July 14, 2014 the State of Israel and ZIM reached a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) that was validated as a judgment by the Supreme Court. The Settlement Agreement provides, inter alia, the following arrangement shall apply: the State’s consent is required to any transfer of the shares in ZIM which confers on the holder a holding of 35% and more of the ZIM’s share capital. In addition, any transfer of shares which confers on the holders a holding exceeding 24% but not exceeding 35%, shall require prior notice to the State. To the extent the State determines that the transfer involves a potential damage to the State’s security or any of its vital interests or if the State did not receive the relevant information in order to formulate a decision regarding the transfer, the State shall be entitled to inform, within 30 days, that it objects to the transfer, and it will be required to reason its objection. In such an event, the transferor shall be entitled to approach a competent court on this matter.
Kenon’s ownership of ZIM’s shares is subject to the terms and conditions of the Special State Share, which limit Kenon’s ability to transfer its equity interest in us to third parties. The holder of ZIM’s Special State Share has granted a permit, or the Permit, to Kenon and Mr. Idan Ofer, individually and collectively referred to in this paragraph as a “Permitted Holder” of ZIM’s shares, pursuant to which the Permitted Holders may hold 24% or more of the means of control of ZIM (but no more than 35% of the means of control of ZIM), and only to the extent that this does not grant the Permitted Holders control in ZIM. The Permit further stipulates that it does not limit the Permitted Holder from distributing or transferring ZIM’s shares. However, the terms of the Permit provide that the transfer of the means of control of ZIM is limited in instances where the recipient is required to obtain the consent of the holder of ZIM’s Special State Share, or is required to notify the holder of ZIM’s Special State Share of its holding of ZIM’s ordinary shares pursuant to the terms of the Special State Share, unless such consent was obtained by the recipient or the State of Israel did not object to the notice provided by the recipient. In addition, the terms of the Permit provide that, if Idan Ofer’s holding interest in Kenon, directly or indirectly, falls below 36% or if Idan Ofer ceases to be the sole controlling shareholder of Kenon, then the shares held by Kenon will not grant Kenon any right in respect of its ordinary shares that would otherwise be granted to an ordinary shareholder holding more than 24% of ZIM’s ordinary shares (even if Kenon holds a greater percentage of ZIM’s ordinary shares), until or unless the State of Israel provides its consent, or does not object to, such decrease in holding interest or control in Kenon. “Control”, for the purposes of the Permit, shall bear the meaning ascribed to it in the Permit with respect to certain provisions. Additionally, the State of Israel may revoke Kenon’s permit if there is a material change in the facts upon which the State of Israel’s consent was based, or upon a breach of the provisions of the Special State Share by Kenon, Mr. Ofer, or ZIM. According to the Permit, the obligations of the Permitted Holder under the Permit will apply only for as long as the Permitted Holder holds more than 24% of ZIM’s shares.

1. | As at December 31, 2021, the Group holds a 12% equity interest in Qoros through a wholly-owned and controlled company, Quantum (2007) LLC (“Quantum”). Chery Automobiles Limited (“Chery”), a Chinese automobile manufacturer, holds a 25% equity interest and the remaining 63% interest is held by an entity related to the Baoneng Group (“New Qoros Investor” or “New Strategic Partner”). |
2. | Qoros introduced a New Strategic Partner |
In January 2018, the New Qoros Investor purchased 51% of Qoros from Kenon and Chery for RMB 3.315 billion (approximately $504 million), resulting in Kenon’s and Chery’s interest in Qoros dropping from 50% each to 24% and 25%, respectively. This was part of an investment structure (“Investment Agreement”) to invest a total of approximately RMB 6.63 billion (approximately $1,002 million) by the New Qoros Investor. The Investment Agreement provided Kenon with a put option over its remaining equity interest in Qoros which was initially valued at approximately $90 million.
The value of the put option was reduced by approximately $19 million to approximately $71 million as a result of the fair value assessment as at December 31, 2019.

3. | Kenon sells down from 24% to 12% |
In January 2019, Kenon, on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary Quantum (2007) LLC, announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell half (12%) of its remaining interest (24%) in Qoros to the New Qoros Investor for RMB1,560 million (approximately $220 million), which was based on the same post-investment valuation as the initial investment by the New Qoros Investor. In April 2020, Kenon completed the sale of this half of its remaining interest in Qoros and received payment of RMB1,560 million (approximately $220 million).
Kenon recognized a gain of approximately $153 million from the sale of its 12% interest in Qoros and the derecognition of the current portion of the put option pertaining to the 12% interest sold.
As a result of the sale, Kenon lost significant influence over Qoros and ceased equity accounting. Since April 29, 2020, the remaining 12% interest in Qoros was accounted for on a fair value basis through profit and loss and, together with the non-current portion of the put option pertaining to the remaining 12% interest (see Note 9.2), was reclassified in the statement of financial position as a long-term investment (Qoros). Upon reclassification, Kenon immediately recognized a fair value gain of approximately $139 million and the long-term investment (Qoros) was initially measured at a combined fair value of approximately $220 million. By the end of 2020, primarily due to the appreciation of RMB against the USD, the fair value of the long-term investment (Qoros) increased by approximately $15 million to $235 million.
In 2020 up until the completion date of the sale and prior to the reclass detailed above, the aggregate current and non-current put option fair value was reduced by approximately $3 million to $68 million.
The sale was not made pursuant to the put option described above in Note 9.2. As part of the sale agreement, the New Qoros Investor assumed its pro-rata share of guarantees of Kenon and Chery based on the change to its equity ownership.
4. | Agreement to sell remaining 12% interest |
In April 2021, Quantum entered into an agreement with the New Qoros Investor to sell all of its remaining 12% interest in Qoros. The key terms of the agreement are set forth below.
The total purchase price is RMB1.56 billion (approximately $245 million), which is the same valuation as the previous sales by Quantum to the New Qoros Investor. The deal is subject to certain conditions, including a release of the share pledge (refer to Note 9.6.c) over the shares to be sold (substantially all of which have been pledged to Qoros’ lending banks), and necessary regulatory approvals.
The Baoneng Group guaranteed the obligations of the New Qoros Investor under this agreement. The purchase price was to be paid over time according to a payment schedule.
The first and second payments, including the deposit, were to be paid into a designated account set up in the name of the New Qoros Investor over which Quantum is a joint signatory to, of which the deposit was due July 31, 2021. According to the agreement, the transfer of these payments to Quantum would occur by the end of Q2 2022. To date, the New Qoros Investor has failed to make any of the required payments under this agreement.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, Kenon started arbitration proceedings against the New Qoros Investor for breach of the agreement and Kenon also started litigation proceedings against the New Qoros Investor with regards to the New Qoros Investor’s obligations to Kenon’s pledged shares in relation to Qoros’ RMB 1.2 billion loan (as described below). The outcomes of these legal proceedings and any related awards are uncertain.
As a result of the payment delay, Quantum currently has the right to exercise the Put Option it has to sell its remaining shares to the New Qoros Investor.

5. | Fair value assessment |
In September 2021, in light of the events described above, Kenon performed an assessment of the fair value of the long-term investment (Qoros) under FRS 113 Fair value measurement. Kenon concluded that the fair value of the long-term investment (Qoros) is zero. Therefore, in 2021 Kenon recognized a fair value loss of $235 million in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 2021.
6. | Financial Guarantees Provision and Releases |
a. | In July 2012, Chery provided a guarantee to the banks, in the amount of RMB1.5 billion (approximately $242 million), in relation to an agreement with the banks to provide Qoros a loan, in the amount of RMB3 billion (approximately $482 million). In November 2015, Kenon provided back-to-back guarantees to Chery of RMB750 million (approximately $115 million) in respect of this loan thereby committing to pay half of every amount Chery may be required to pay with respect to the guarantee. |
b. | On May 12, 2015, Qoros signed a loan agreement with the Export-Import Bank of China, and China Construction Bank Co., LTD, Suzhou Branch, for an amount of RMB700 million (approximately $108 million) (the “Facility”). This Facility was guaranteed by Chery and pledged with Qoros’ 90 vehicle patents with an appraisal value of minimum RMB3.1 billion (approximately $500 million). Kenon provided back-to-back guarantees to Chery of RMB350 million (approximately $54 million) thereby committing to pay half of every amount Chery may be required to pay with respect to the guarantee. |
c. | On July 31, 2014, in order to secure additional funding for Qoros of approximately RMB 1.2 billion (approximately $200 million) IC pledged a portion of its shares (including dividends derived therefrom) in Qoros, in proportion to its share in Qoros’s capital, in favor of the Chinese bank providing Qoros with such financing. Simultaneously, the subsidiary of Chery that holds Chery’s rights in Qoros also pledged a proportionate part of its rights in Qoros. Such financing agreement includes, inter alia, covenants, events of immediate payment and/or early payment for violations and/or events specified in the agreement. The pledge agreement includes, inter alia, provisions concerning the ratio of securities and the pledging of further securities in certain circumstances, including pledges of up to all of Quantum’s shares in Qoros (or cash), provisions regarding events that would entitle the Chinese Bank to enforce the pledge, certain representations and covenants, and provisions regarding the registration and approval of the pledge. As part of the spin-off described in Note 1.A, the shares pledged by IC were transferred to Kenon. |
d. | In 2017, Kenon provided cash collateral to Chery that was used to fund shareholder loans on behalf of Chery for a total amount of RMB 244 million, and pledged a portion of Kenon’s equity interests in Qoros to Chery. The agreements for this guarantee and pledge provide that in the event that Chery’s obligations under its guarantees are reduced, including through guarantee releases, Kenon is entitled to the proportionate return from Chery of the RMB 244 million funding provided on Chery’s behalf and/or a release of the equity pledged to Chery. |
As at December 31, 2018, Kenon’s back-to-back guarantee exposure to Chery was approximately $44 million however, following the New Qoros Investor’s investment into Qoros (refer to Note 9.2), Kenon assessed that the likelihood of future cash payments in relation to the guarantees was not probable. As a result, all provisions related to financial guarantees were released in 2018.
Following completion of the transaction in 2019, the New Qoros Investor assumed its proportionate obligations with respect to the Qoros loans. As a result of this and repayments by Qoros in relation to its loans, Chery’s obligations under the loan guarantees were reduced. As a result, Kenon received $11 million from Chery. As at December 31, 2019, Kenon’s back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery were reduced to approximately $23 million.
In April 2020, Kenon received an additional $6 million from Chery following repayments by Qoros in relation to its loans. This brought the total cash received from Chery to RMB 244 million (approximately $36 million) in connection with these repayments. As at December 31, 2020, Kenon’s back-to-back guarantee obligations to Chery were reduced to approximately $16 million.

Note 9 – Long-term investment (Qoros) (Cont’d)
e. | Qoros had been in discussions with lenders on rescheduling loan repayments on its long-term loans. Such a rescheduling has not been agreed. In 2021, Qoros did not make payments totaling approximately RMB 455 million ($71 million) which were due in respect of its RMB 3 billion, RMB 1.2 billion and RMB 0.7 billion loan facilities, and as a result, the lenders under these facilities accelerated these loans. These loans remain in default. |
In the fourth quarter of 2021, Chery paid the full amount of its guarantee obligations under the RMB 3 billion and RMB 700 million loan facilities. As discussed above, Kenon had back-to-back guarantee obligations of approximately $16 million to Chery in respect of guarantees Chery had given for these two loans. Kenon paid the $16 million to Chery and recognized a corresponding $16 million expense in its consolidated statements of profit and loss. Following this payment, Kenon does not have any remaining guarantee obligations with respect to Qoros debt.
As at December 31, 2021, as described in Note 9.6.c, Kenon has pledged substantially all of its interests in Qoros to secure Qoros’ RMB 1.2 billion loan facility. The New Qoros Investor was required to assume its pro rata share of pledge obligations. It has not yet provided all such pledges but has provided Kenon with a guarantee in respect of its pro rata share, and up to all, of Quantum's pledge obligations.
Qoros continues to engage in discussions with the lenders and other relevant stakeholders relating to its other outstanding bank loans and resumption of manufacturing production which was shut down earlier this year.

Qoros has restrictions with respect to distribution of dividends and sale of assets deriving from legal and regulatory restrictions, restrictions under the joint venture agreement and the Articles of Association and restrictions stemming from credit received.

Note 10 – Subsidiaries
A. | Investments |
1. | OPC Energy Ltd. |
OPC is a publicly-traded company whose securities are listed on the TASE. OPC is engaged in two reportable segments: (i) generation and supply of electricity and energy (electricity, steam and charging services for electric vehicles) in Israel to private customers, Israel Electric Company (“IEC”) and Noga – The Israel Independent System Operator Ltd. (“System Operator” or “Noga’), including initiation, development, construction and operation of power plants and facilities for energy generation; and (ii) generation and supply of electricity and energy in the United States, including maintenance, development, construction and management of renewable energy and conventional (gas-fired) power plants in the United States, and power plants owned by third parties. OPC manages most of its operations in Israel through OPC Israel, and its operations in the United States through CPV Group, of which 70% is indirectly held by OPC.
In October 2020, OPC signed an agreement to acquire the CPV Group (as described in Note 10.A.1.i), which is engaged in the area of generation of electricity in the United States (including through the use of renewable energy). The transaction was completed in January 2021.
Seasonality
OPC’s activities in Israel are subject to seasonal fluctuations as a result of changes in the official Time of Use of Electricity Tariff (“TAOZ”), which is regulated and published by the Israeli Electricity Authority (“IEA”). The year is broken down into 3 seasons: “summer” (July and August), “winter” (December through February), and “transitional” (March through June and September through November), with a different tariff set for each season. OPC’s results are based on the generation component, which is part of the TAOZ, resulting in a seasonal effect.
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 power plants powered by natural gas, 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.
Impact of COVID-19 and conflict between Russia and Ukraine
The COVID-19 outbreak has led to quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, businesses and school shutdowns and restrictions, and alongside the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, supply chain interruptions, global economic and financial market instability. During the reporting period, high global demand for raw materials, transportation and shipping services were impacted by the spread of COVID-19 and the conflict, causing limited production capabilites, transportation and shipping restrictions, resulting in a significant increase in the cost of raw materials, production and supply chain, and 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 construction and maintenance of OPC’s facilities and power plants. This also affected the construction and maintenance costs of OPC’s projects in the markets of activity and schedules for their completion. As of reporting date, there is no certainty as to the duration or scope of the COVID-19 impact, therefore OPC is unable to assess with full certainty its impact on its businesses.
OPC’s active power plants in Israel, as well as the construction of the Tzomet power plant have continued throughout the restriction period, due to their designation as “essential enterprises”. It is noted that the continuity of construction works at the Tzomet and Sorek power plants and the generation facilities is affected by COVID-19, due, among other things, to restrictions on movement and infection. Delays in completing projects under construction and in schedules may affect the ability of the projects to fulfill its obligations to third parties, thus adversely affecting the Company's activity in Israel. In addition, the rehauling and maintenance works at the Rotem and Hadera power plants may be affected by restrictions on movement and spread of infection due to Covid-19.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on economic activity in the United States. The CPV Group’s power plants remained active during the COVID-19 crisis. COVID-19 resulted in a change in the work schedules and shifts of the employees, a reduction of self-initiated shutdowns for purposes of periodic maintenance, extension of the unplanned periodic maintenance period, and employees working from home.
As at December 31, 2021, COVID-19 is assessed to not have a significant impact on OPC’s results and activities.

Establishment of the Sorek B Generation Facility is contingent on, among other things, completion of the planning and/or licensing processes and receipt of approval with respect to the ability to output electricity from the site, which as at the submission date of the report had not yet been received.
In OPC’s estimation, the financial closing of the Sorek B Generation Facility is expected to be reached at the end of 2023, and the total cost of the project is expected to be approximately NIS 200 million (approximately $62 million).
f. | Gnrgy Ltd. (“Gnrgy”) |
In April 2021, OPC entered into an agreement to purchase an interest in Gnrgy, whose business focuses on e-mobility charging stations. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, in May 2021 OPC acquired a 27% interest for a consideration of NIS 25 million (approximately $8 million), and in December 2021 acquired a further 24% interest for a consideration of NIS 42 million (approximately $14 million), of which NIS 13 mllion (approximately $4 million) was paid in installments bearing a 5% additional annual interest. As at year end, OPC held a 51% interest in Gnrgy.
Gnrgy's founder retained the remaining interests in Gnrgy and entered into a shareholders’ agreement with OPC, which among other things gave OPC an option to acquire a 100% interest in Gnrgy (the “Purchase Option”). The exercise price of the Purchase Option will be derived from the fair value of Gnrgy on the exercise date, assuming an agreed‑to rate, but no less than a price based on the value of the original transaction. The exercise period of the Purchase Option will be the period of time determined after approval of the financial statements for each of the years 2024 through 2026. To the extent the entire exercise period of the Purchase Option passes without OPC exercising the Purchase Option, and on the assumption that no capital investments have been made in Gnrgy so as to dilute the founder’s share and subject to additional conditions stipulated in the shareholders’ agreement, the founder has an option to acquire shares of Gnrgy from OPC such that after the acquisition, he will hold 2% more than OPC in Gnrgy’s share capital, and will once again become the controlling shareholder of Gnrgy. In addition, to the extent OPC does not exercise the Purchase Option within the first period for exercise of the Purchase Option, and the founder will hold less than 15% of Gnrgy’s share capital, the founder will have an option to require OPC purchase his shares based on the fair value that will be determined in accordance with that stated in the shareholders’ agreement at a discount rate as provided in the agreement.
In July 2021, Gnrgy received a virtual supply license.
g. | ICG Energy, Inc (“ICGE”) |
In January 2021, IC Green transferred its interest in ICGE to OPC at zero consideration. Refer to Note 10.A.2 for further details. As at December 31, 2021, ICGE, which is held directly by OPC, holds OPC’s businesses in the United States.

OPC coordinates its operations in the United States (including following the acquisition of CPV Group, as set out in Note 10.A.1.i) under ICGE. Among other things, the said transfer will allow tax savings with respect to profits, if any, from the business activities in the United States.
F - 49
Note 10 – Subsidiaries (Cont’d)
In addition, in January 2021, following the transfer of ICGE, OPC transferred its rights and loans in OPC Power to ICGE in respect of a loan in the amount of NIS 472 million (approximately $152 million), and capital notes issued by ICGE to OPC of amount NIS 1,188 million (approximately $382 million). The loan is denominated in shekels and bears annual interest at a rate of 7%. The loan principal will be repayable at any time that will be agreed on between the parties, but no later than January 2028. Accrued interest is payable on a quarterly basis. To the extent the payment made by ICGE is lower than the amount of the accrued interest, the payment in respect of the balance will be postponed to the next quarter, but not later than January 2028. The capital notes are repayable only after 5 years will have elapsed from their issuance date; they are denominated in shekels and are to be repaid based on the decision of ICGE.

Note 10 – Subsidiaries (Cont’d)
On the Transaction Completion Date, in accordance with the mechanism for determination of the consideration as defined in the acquisition agreement, the Buyer paid the Sellers approximately $648 million, and about $5 million for a deposit which remains in the CPV Group. In May 2021, the consideration for the acquisition of the CPV Group was adjusted slightly, as a result of which the sellers paid the CPV Group an immaterial amount. For further details relating to the Seller’s Loan provided in relation to Three Rivers, refer to Note 8.B.b.1.
OPC bore legal expenses and costs of a due diligence examination attributable to the acquisition, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of profit and loss, in the amount of about NIS 44 million (approximately $13 million), of which about NIS 2 million (approximately $1 million) were incurred in 2021.
Business combination
OPC partially hedged its exposure to changes in the cash flows from payments in dollars in connection with the acquisition agreement by means of forward transactions and dollar deposits. OPC chose to designate the forward transactions as an accounting hedge. On the completion date of the transaction, OPC recorded the amount of about NIS 103 million (approximately $32 million) that was accrued in a hedge capital reserve to the cost of the investment in the CPV Group. This cost was recorded in the “goodwill” category and increased the cost of the acquisition by about $32 million.
The contribution of the CPV Group to the Group’s revenue and consolidated loss from the acquisition date until December 31, 2021 amounted to $51 million and $47 million, respectively. Management estimates that had the acquisition took place on January 1, 2021, the consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 would have been $492 million and the consolidated profit for the year would have been $883 million.

C. | When there is any indication of impairment, the Group’s entities perform impairment tests for their long-lived assets using fair values less cost to sell based on independent appraisals or value in use estimations, with assumptions based on past experience and current sector forecasts, described below: |
• | Discount rate is a post-tax measure based on the characteristics of each CGU. |
• | Cash flow projections include specific estimates for around five years and a terminal growth rate thereafter. The terminal growth rate is determined based on management’s estimate of long-term inflation. |
• | Existing power purchase agreements (“PPAs”) signed and existing number of customers. |
• | The production mix of each country was determined using specifically-developed internal forecast models that consider factors such as prices and availability of commodities, forecast demand of electricity, planned construction or the commissioning of new capacity in the country’s various technologies. |
• | The distribution business profits were determined using specifically-developed internal forecast models that consider factors such as forecasted demand, fuel prices, energy purchases, collection rates, percentage of losses, quality service improvement, among others. |
• | Fuel prices have been calculated based on existing supply contracts and on estimated future prices including a price differential adjustment specific to every product according to local characteristics. |
• | Assumptions for energy sale and purchase prices and output of generation facilities are made based on complex specifically-developed internal forecast models for each country. |
• | Demand – Demand forecast has taken into consideration the most probably economic performance as well as growth forecasts of different sources. |
• | Technical performance – The forecast takes into consideration that the power plants have an appropriate preventive maintenance that permits their proper functioning and the distribution businesss has the required capital expenditure to expand and perform properly in order to reach the targeted quality levels. |

C. | Impairment testing of a cash-generating unit |
As part of the acquisition of the CPV Group as described in Note 10.A.1.i, on the acquisition date, OPC recognized goodwill of $105 million, which reflects the potential of future activities of CPV Group in the market in which it operates. Goodwill was attributed in full to CPV Group, which is a cash-generating unit.
OPC conducted an annual impairment test as of December 31, 2021. OPC has considered the report from a qualified external valuer regarding the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit based on discounted expected future cash flows provided by OPC. Projects under commercial operation and projects under construction were estimated by discounting expected future cash flows before tax and the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) after tax. Projects under development were estimated at cost.
Below are the main assumptions used in the valuation:
1. | Forecast years - represents the period spanning from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2054, based on the estimate of the economic life of the power plants and their value as at the end of the forecast period. |
2. | Market prices and capacity - market prices (electricity, gas, capacity, etc.) were provided by an external independent appraiser, the cash flow forecasts were made for each power plant separately, taking into account the relevant electricity market (NYISO, ISO-NE, PJM and SPP) and the relevant regulation. |
3. | The annual inflation rate of 2.6% equals the derived 10-year inflation rate as of the estimate date. |
4. | The WACC - calculated for each material project separately, and ranges between 4.75 % (project with agreements for sale of the entire capacity) and 8.5%. |
OPC used a relevant discount rate reflecting the specific risks associated with the future cash flow of a cash-generating unit.
As of December 31, 2021, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit of the CPV Group exceeds its book value and therefore, no impairment has been recognized for them. The fair value measurement was classified at Level 3 due to the use of input that is not based on observable market inputs in the assessment model.
As of the report date, in accordance with management's assessments regarding future industry trends, which are based on external and internal sources, OPC has not identified any key assumptions in which possible likely changes may occur, which would cause the CPV Group's recoverable amount to decrease below its carrying amount.

Note 17 – Contingent Liabilities, Commitments and Concessions
A. | Contingent Liabilities |
a. | Local Council of Shafir development levies |
In December 2019, an arrangement was signed between OPC Tzomet and the Local Council of Shafir, whereby OPC Tzomet received an initial calculation of the development levies in respect of the Tzomet project, in the amount of NIS 28 million (approximately $8 million) (not including VAT) (hereinafter – the “Calculation of the Levies”). In January 2020, the Council sent OPC Tzomet a charge notification in respect of the Calculation of the Levies, in the amount of NIS 37 million (approximately $11 million), of which NIS 13 million (approximately $4 million), which was not in dispute, was paid in December 2019. In March 2020, OPC Tzomet filed an administrative petition against the Council in respect of the amount in dispute, as stated. As part of its response to the petition, it was recognized that an error of about NIS 2 million was made, resulting in an agreement to reduce the bank guarantee deposited by OPC Tzomet in favor of the Council of NIS 21 million (approximately $7 million).
In 2021, as part of a settlement arrangement, OPC Tzomet paid the council NIS 20 million (approximately $6 million) for the levies. The levies paid include levies for a built-up area of 11,600 square meters which has not yet been built, and OPC Tzomet has the right to construct it with no further levies required. Following the settlement in 2021, the guarantee described above also expired.
b. | Oil Refineries Ltd. (now known as “Bazan”) gas purchase claim |
In January 2018, a request was filed with the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court to approve a derivative claim by a shareholder of Bazan against former and current directors of Bazan, Israel Chemicals Ltd., OPC Rotem, OPC Hadera and IC (collectively the "Group Companies"), over: (1) a transaction of the Group Companies for the purchase of natural gas from Tamar Partners, (2) transactions of the Group Companies for the purchase of natural gas from Energean Israel Ltd. (“Energean”) and (3) transaction for sale of surplus gas to Bazan.
In August 2018, the Group Companies submitted their response to the claim filed. OPC rejected the contentions appearing in the claim and requested summary dismissal of the claim. Evidentiary hearings were held in the second half of 2021, after which an order was issued for summations and dates were set for submitting them in the second and third quarters of 2022.
In OPC’s estimation, based on advice from its legal advisors, it is more likely than not that the claim will not be accepted by the Court and, accordingly, no provision has been included in the financial statements in respect of the claim as at December 31, 2021.
c. | Bazan electricity purchase claim |
In November 2017, a request was filed with the Tel Aviv-Jaffa District Court to approve a derivative claim on behalf of Bazan. The request is based on the petitioner's contention that the undertaking in the electricity purchase transaction between Bazan and OPC Rotem is an extraordinary interested party transaction that did not receive the approval of the general assembly of Bazan shareholders on the relevant dates. The respondents to the request include Bazan, OPC Rotem, the Israel Corporation Ltd. and the members of Bazan's Board of Directors at the time of entering into the electricity purchase transaction. The requested remedies include remedies such as an injunction and financial remedies.
In July 2018, OPC Rotem submitted its response to the request. Bazan’s request for summary judgement was denied. Negotiations are being held for entering into a compromise agreement that will settle a lawsuit against Rotem and others, which - as of the financial statements approval date - is subject to signing the agreement and obtaining approvals.

d. | IEC power purchase agreement |
In 2014 (commencing in August), letters were exchanged between OPC Rotem and IEC regarding the tariff to be paid by OPC Rotem to IEC in respect of electricity that it had purchased from the electric grid, in connection with sale of electricity to private customers, where the electricity generation in the power plant was insufficient to meet the electricity needs of such customers.
It is OPC Rotem’s position that the applicable tariff is the “ex-post” tariff, whereas according to IEC in the aforesaid exchange of letters, the applicable tariff is the TAOZ tariff, and based on part of the correspondences even a tariff that is 25% higher than the TAOZ tariff (and some of the correspondences also raise allegations of default of the PPA with IEC). In order to avoid a specific dispute, Rotem paid IEC the TAOZ tariff for the aforesaid purchase of electricity and commencing from that date, it pays IEC the TAOZ tariff on the purchase of electricity from IEC for sale to private customers.
IEC raised contentions regarding past accountings in respect of the acquisition cost of energy for OPC Rotem’s customers in a case of a load reduction of the plant by the System Operator, and collection differences due to non‑transfer of meter data in the years 2013 through 2015. In addition, IEC stated its position with respect to additional matters in the arrangement between the parties relating to the acquisition price of surplus energy and the acquisition cost of energy by OPC Rotem during performance of tests. OPC Rotem’s position regarding the matters referred to by IEC, based on its legal advisors, is different and talks are being held between the parties. As at December 31, 2021, the open matters had not yet been resolved and there is no certainty regarding formulation of consents between the parties. In OPC Rotem’s estimation, it is more likely than not that OPC Rotem will not pay any additional amounts in respect of the period ended December 31, 2021. Therefore, no provision was included in the financial statements.
e. | Impact on OPC Rotem from amendment of standards in connection with Deviations from Consumption Plans |
In February 2020, the IEA published its Decision from Meeting 573, held on January 27, 2020, regarding Amendment of Standards in connection with Deviations from the Consumption Plans (hereinafter – the “Resolution”). Pursuant to the resolution, a supplier is not permitted to sell to its consumers more than the amount of the capacity that is the subject of all the undertakings it has entered into with holders of private generation licenses. In addition, the IEA indicated that it is expected that the supplier will enter into private transactions with consumers in a scope that permits it to supply all their consumption from energy that is generated by private generators over the entire year. Actual consumption of energy at a rate in excess of 3% from the installed capacity allocated to the supplier will trigger payment of an annual tariff that reflects the annual cost of the capacity the supplier used as a result of the deviation, as detailed in the resolution (“Annual Payment in respect of Deviation from the Capacity”). In addition, the resolution provides a settlement mechanism in respect of a deviation from the daily consumption plan (surpluses and deficiencies), which will apply concurrent with the annual payment in respect of a deviation from the capacity. Application of the resolution commenced from September 1, 2020. The resolution will apply to OPC Rotem after the complementary arrangements for OPC Rotem are set.
In May 2021, IEC notified OPC Rotem that according to its approach, sale of energy by OPC Rotem to end‑consumers in excess of the power plant’s generation capacity deviates from the provisions of the PPA between them (as described above). OPC Rotem’s position regarding the electricity acquisition agreement is different, and the matter is expected to be impacted by supplementary arrangements subject to the decision of the IEA.
As at filing date, the extent of the resolution’s effect on OPC Rotem is uncertain, and it depends, among other things, on the final supplementary arrangements to be determined.

f. | Construction agreement between OPC Hadera and IDOM Servicios Integrados |
In January 2016, an agreement was signed between OPC Hadera and SerIDOM Servicios Integrados IDOM, S.A.U (“IDOM”), for the design, engineering, procurement and construction of a cogeneration power plant, in consideration of about NIS 639 million (approximately $185 million) (as amended several times as part of change orders, including an amendment made in 2019 and described below), which is payable on the basis of the progress of the construction and compliance with milestones (hereinafter – “the Hadera Construction Agreement”). IDOM has provided bank guarantees and a corporate guarantee of its parent company to secure the said obligations, and OPC has provided a corporate guarantee to IDOM, in the amount of $10.5 million, to secure part of OPC Hadera’s liabilities. In addition, as part of an addendum to OPC Hadera’s construction agreement which was signed in October 2018, the parties agreed to waiver of past claims up to the signing date of the addendum.
In accordance with the construction agreement, OPC Hadera is entitled to certain compensation from IDOM in respect of the delay in completion of the construction of the Hadera Power Plant, and to compensation in a case of non-compliance with conditions in connection with the plant’s performance. In OPC Hadera’s estimation, as at year end the amount of compensation due to it for delay in deliver of the power plant is about NIS 76 million (approximately $23 million).
In July 2020, upon completion of the Hadera Power Plant, a request was received from IDOM for payment of the two final milestones of amount NIS 48 million (approximately $15 million). The two final milestone payments were paid by means of an offset against the balance of compensation. In OPC Hadera’s estimation, while IDOM has contentions regarding the final settlement, OPC Hadera has an unconditional contractual right to receive the compensation for the delay in the delivery of the power plant as stated and it is more likely than not that its position will be accepted, hence, no provision has been included in the financial statements.
In May 2021 a notice letter of a dispute was received from IDOM alleging that OPC Hadera does not have grounds for charging them the amounts specified in the construction agreement for the delay (“LDs”) and the performance of the power plant (including by way of offsetting), and that IDOM is entitled to additional consideration of EUR 7 million (approximately $8 million). It is noted that in June 2021, the bank guarantee provided by IDOM was extended until May 2022.
In September 2021, IDOM started an arbitration procedure against OPC Hadera in the International Court of Arbitration, including a claim for payments totaling $14 million for meeting milestones (that OPC Hadera has unilaterally offset against LDs), net of any compensation in respect of LDs which the construction contractor may be required to pay as a result of the arbitration process; additional consideration totaling EUR 7 million (approximately $8 million) in respect of work; a claim by IDOM to the effect that it may reduce the amount of guarantees it provided in favor of OPC Hadera, as well as certain declarative remedies.
OPC Hadera disputes the claims of IDOM (except in respect of an insignificant amount out of said claim, relative to EUR 7 million (approximately $8 million)), and the claims were rejected even prior to receiving IDOM’s said notice. It is OPC Hadera’s position, according to the power plant’s construction agreement and based on the position of its legal counsel, that it is entitled to LDs and damages (limited to an amount up to the maximum specified in the construction agreement) for non-compliance with conditions set out in the agreement in connection with the performance of the power plant. The total amount in respect of all of the above grounds for compensation is capped at $36 million (which includes the offset payments described above). As at December 31, 2021, Hadera recognized an asset receivable in respect of compensation from the construction contractor of the Hadera Power Plant of NIS 28 million (approximately $9 million) due to said delay. This is recognized as a reduction against Property, plant and equipment, net.
As of the report date, OPC Hadera has filed a counter claim. Concurrently, the parties are holding negotiations to reach a compromise, but at this point the outcome remains uncertain.
In November 2021, OPC received a refund from their insurance company for IDOM of NIS 7 million (approximately $2 million) with respect to a claim filed by IDOM. As at year end, the amount was recorded under trade and other payables, and the refund was transferred to IDOM subsequent to year end in January 2022.

g. | Construction agreement between OPC Tzomet and PW Power Systems LLC |
In September 2018, OPC Tzomet signed a planning, procurement and construction agreement (hereinafter – “the Agreement”) with PW Power Systems LLC (hereinafter – “Tzomet Construction Contractor” or “PWPS”), for construction of the Tzomet project. The Agreement is a “lump‑sum turnkey” agreement wherein the Tzomet Construction Contractor committed to construct the Tzomet project in accordance with the technical and engineering specifications determined and includes various undertakings of the contractor.
In OPC Tzomet’s estimation, based on the work specifications, the aggregate consideration that will be paid in the framework of the Agreement is about $300 million, and it will be paid based on the milestones provided. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Tzomet Construction Contractor undertook to complete the construction work of the Tzomet project, including the acceptance tests by January 2023.
The continuity of construction has been affected by COVID-19 due to the need to transport equipment and foreign crews to the site. The construction work of the Tzomet Power Plant is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2023.
h. | Gas agreement with Energean |
In 2020, Energean Israel Ltd. (“Energean”) notified OPC that “force majeure” events happened during the year, in accordance with the clauses pursuant to the agreements, and that the flow of the first gas from the Karish reservoir is expected to take place during the second half of 2021. OPC rejected the contentions that a “force majeure” event is involved.
In November 2021, Energean sent OPC Rotem and OPC Hadera an update notification whereby due to their claimed force majeure event, the first gas from the Karish Reservoir is expected in the middle of 2022.
Due to the delay in supply of the gas from the Karish reservoir, OPC Rotem and OPC Hadera will be required to acquire the quantity of gas it had planned to acquire from Energean for purposes of operation of the power plants at present gas prices, which is higher than the price stipulated in the Energean agreement. The delays in the commercial operation date of Energean, and in turn, a delay in supply of the gas from the Karish reservoir, will have an unfavorable impact on OPC’s profits. In the agreements with Energean, compensation for delays had been provided, the amount of which depends on the reasons for the delay, where the limit with respect to the compensation in a case where the damages caused is “force majeure” is lower. It is noted that the damages that will be caused to OPC stemming from a delay could exceed the amount of the said compensation.
In 2021, OPC Rotem and OPC Hadera received reduced compensation of NIS 9 million (approximately $3 million) and NIS 7 million (approximately $2 million), respectively. OPC continues to reject those claims.

Note 23 – Income Taxes (Cont’d)
On January 4, 2016, Amendment 216 to the Income Tax Ordinance (New Version) – 1961 (hereinafter – “the Ordinance”) was passed in the Knesset. As part of the amendment, OPC’s and Hadera’s income tax rate was reduced by 1.5% to a rate of 25% as from 2016. Furthermore, on December 22, 2016 the Knesset plenum passed the Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the Years 2017 and 2018) – 2016, by which, inter alia, the corporate tax rate would be reduced from 25% to 23% in two steps. The first step will be to a rate of 24% as from January 2017 and the second step will be to a rate of 23% as from January 2018.
As a result of reducing the tax rate to 23%, the deferred tax balance as at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were calculated according to the new tax rates specified in the Economic Efficiency Law (Legislative Amendments for Achieving Budget Objectives in the years 2017 and 2018), at the tax rate expected to apply on the reversal date.

According to Israeli tax law, there is no time limit on the utilization of tax losses and the utilization of the deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax assets were not recognized for these items, since it is not expected that there will be taxable income in the future, against which the tax benefits can be utilized.
In the United States, as of December 31, 2021, the Group had loss carryforwards for which no deferred taxes have been created, as detailed below:
• | Net operating losses for tax purposes of $108 million, which may be offset for tax purposes in the United States against future income, subject to complying with the conditions of the law, some of which are not under the OPC’s control and, therefore, OPC did not recognize deferred tax assets in respect thereof. These losses will expire in 2027-2037. |
• | $2 million in tax credits, offsettable for tax purposes in the United States against future profits in the United States, are subject to complying with the conditions of the law, some of which are not under the OPC’s control and, therefore, OPC did not recognize deferred tax assets. These losses will expire in 2027-2037. |
Unrecognised deferred tax liabilities
The tax effect on taxable temporary differences of $112 million (2020: $nil) has not been recorded as this arises from undistributed profits of the Group’s associated companies which the Group does not expect to incur.
4. | Safe habor rules |
Singapore does not impose taxes on disposal gains, which are considered to be capital in nature, but imposes tax on income and gains of a trading nature. As such, whenever a gain is realized on the disposal of an asset, the practice of the IRAS is to rely upon a set of commonly-applied rules in determining the question of capital (not taxable) or revenue (taxable). Under Singapore tax laws, any gains derived by a divesting company from its disposal of ordinary shares in an investee company between June 1, 2012 and December 31, 2027 are generally not taxable if, immediately prior to the date of such disposal, the divesting company has held at least 20% of the ordinary shares in the investee company for a continuous period of at least 24 months.

In December 2017, Kenon, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Inkia Energy Limited (“Inkia”), sold its Latin American and Caribbean power business to an infrastructure private equity firm, I Squared Capital (“ISQ”). As a result, the Latin American and Caribbean businesses were classified as discontinued operations.
Kenon’s subsidiaries are entitled to receive payments in connection with certain claims held by companies within Inkia’s businesses. In 2019, one of Kenon’s subsidiaries received a favorable award in a commercial arbitration proceeding relating to retained claims from the sale of the Inkia business. $25 million, net of taxes, was recognized in discontinued operations. In 2020, following the completion of a tax review related to the sale, Kenon recognized income of $8 million, net of taxes.

Note 28 – Financial Instruments
A. | General |
The Group has international activity in which it is exposed to credit, liquidity and market risks (including currency, interest, inflation and other price risks). In order to reduce the exposure to these risks, the Group holds derivative financial instruments, (including forward transactions, interest rate swap (“SWAP”) transactions, and options) for the purpose of economic (not accounting) hedging of foreign currency risks, inflation risks, commodity price risks, interest risks and risks relating to the price of inputs.
This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, and the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing the risk.
The risk management of the Group companies is executed by them as part of the ongoing current management of the companies. The Group companies monitor the above risks on a regular basis. The hedge policies with respect to all the different types of exposures are discussed by the boards of directors of the companies.
The comprehensive responsibility for establishing the base for the risk management of the Group and for supervising its implementation lies with the Board of Directors and the senior management of the Group.
B. | Credit risk |
Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the financial benefits of contracts with a specific counterparty will be lost if a counterparty defaults on their obligations under the contract. This includes any cash amounts owed to the Group by those counterparties, less any amounts owed to the counterparty by the Group where a legal right of set-offs exists and also includes the fair values of contracts with individual counterparties which are included in the financial statements. The maximum exposure to credit risk at each reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets mentioned in this note.

No ECL has been recorded on any trade receivable amounts based on historical credit loss data and the Group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.
C. | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and adverse credit and market conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation.
The Group manages its liquidity risk by means of holding cash balances, short-term deposits, other liquid financial assets and credit lines.
Set forth below are the anticipated repayment dates of the financial liabilities, including an estimate of the interest payments. This disclosure does not include amounts regarding which there are offset agreements:

D. Market risks
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, the CPI, interest rates and prices of capital products and instruments will affect the fair value of the future cash flows of a financial instrument.
The Group buys and sells derivatives in the ordinary course of business, and also incurs financial liabilities, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Boards of Directors of the companies. For the most part, the Group companies enter into hedging transactions for purposes of avoiding economic exposures that arise from their operating activities. Most of the transactions entered into do not meet the conditions for recognition as an accounting hedge and, therefore, differences in their fair values are recorded on the statement of profit and loss.
(1) CPI and foreign currency risk
Currency risk
The Group’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The exposures of the Group companies are measured with reference to the changes in the exchange rate of the dollar vis-à-vis the other currencies in which it transacts business.
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases, assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group entities. The primary exposure is to the Shekel (NIS).
The Group uses options and forward exchange contracts on exchange rates for purposes of hedging short-term currency risks, usually up to one year, in order to reduce the risk with respect to the final cash flows in dollars deriving from the existing assets and liabilities and sales and purchases of goods and services within the framework of firm or anticipated commitments, including in relation to future operating expenses.
The Group is exposed to currency risk in relation to loans it has taken out and debentures it has issued in currencies other than the dollar. The principal amounts of these bank loans and debentures have been hedged by swap transactions the repayment date of which corresponds with the payment date of the loans and debentures.

The Group has CPI-linked loans. The Group is exposed to payments of higher interest and principal as the result of an increase in the CPI. It is noted that part of the Group’s anticipated revenues will be linked to the CPI. The Group does not hedge this exposure beyond the expected hedge included in its revenues.

(2) | Interest rate risk |
The Group is exposed to changes in the interest rates with respect to loans bearing interest at variable rates, as well as in relation to swap transactions of liabilities in foreign currency for dollar liabilities bearing a variable interest rate.
The Group has not set a policy limiting the exposure and it hedges this exposure based on forecasts of future interest rates.
The Group enters into transactions mainly to reduce the exposure to cash flow risk in respect of interest rates. The transactions include interest rate swaps and “collars”. In addition, options are acquired and written for hedging the interest rate at different rates.

The Group’s assets and liabilities bearing fixed interest are not measured at fair value through the statement of profit and loss and the Group does not designate derivatives interest rate swaps as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, a change in the interest rates as at the date of the report would not be expected to affect the income or loss with respect to changes in the value of fixed – interest assets and liabilities.
A change of 100 basis points in interest rate at reporting date would have increased/(decreased) profit and loss before tax by the amounts below. This analysis assumes that all variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

E. | Fair value |
(1) | Fair value compared with carrying value |
The Group’s financial instruments include mainly non-derivative assets, such as: cash and cash equivalents, investments, deposits and short-term loans, receivables and debit balances, investments and long-term receivables; non-derivative liabilities: such as: short-term credit, payables and credit balances, long-term loans, finance leases and other liabilities; as well as derivative financial instruments. In addition, fair value disclosure of lease liabilities is not required.
Due to their nature, the fair value of the financial instruments included in the Group’s working capital is generally identical or approximates the book value.
The following table shows in detail the carrying amount and the fair value of financial instrument groups presented in the financial statements not in accordance with their fair value.

The fair value of long-term loans from banks and others (excluding interest) is classified as level 2, and measured using the technique of discounting the future cash flows with respect to the principal component and the discounted interest using the market interest rate on the measurement date.
(2) Hierarchy of fair value
The following table presents an analysis of the financial instruments measured at fair value, using an evaluation method. The various levels were defined as follows:
– Level 1: Quoted prices (not adjusted) in an active market for identical instruments.
– Level 2: Observed data, direct or indirect, not included in Level 1 above.
– Level 3: Data not based on observed market data.
Derivative instruments are measured at fair value using a Level 2 valuation method – observable data, directly or indirectly, which are not included in quoted prices in an active market for identical instruments. See Note 28.D.1 for further details.

(3) Data and measurement of the fair value of financial instruments at Level 2 and 3
Level 2
The fair value of forward contracts on foreign currency is determined using trading programs that are based on market prices. The market price is determined based on a weighting of the exchange rate and the appropriate interest coefficient for the period of the transaction along with an index of the relevant currencies.
The fair value of contracts for exchange (SWAP) of interest rates and fuel prices is determined using trading programs which incorporate market prices, the remaining term of the contract and the credit risks of the parties to the contract.
The fair value of currency and interest exchange (SWAP) transactions is valued using discounted future cash flows at the market interest rate for the remaining term.
The fair value of transactions used to hedge inflation is valued using discounted future cash flows which incorporate the forward CPI curve, and market interest rates for the remaining term.
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The fair value of marketable securities held for trade is determined using the ‘Discounts for Lack of Marketability’ (“DLOM”) valuation method, which is a method used to calculate the value of restricted securities. The method purports that the only difference between a company’s common stock and its restricted securities is the lack of marketability of the restricted securities which is derived from the price difference between both prices.
Level 3
As at December 31, 2021, the fair value of the long-term investment (Qoros) was based on the present value of the expected cash flows. Included in the long-term investment (Qoros) are the 12% interests in Qoros (as described in Note 9.3) and the put option (as described in Note 9.2). For the purposes of management’s fair value assessment of the long-term investment (Qoros), management takes into consideration factors including market risk and credit risk exposures, publicly available information and financial information of the New Qoros Investor and Qoros for the year ended December 31, 2021.
As at December 31, 2020, the fair value of the long-term investment (Qoros) described in Note 9.3, was based on the market comparison technique using the following variables:
• | The underlying revenues estimate is based on Qoros’ 2021 budget. |
• | The EV/Revenues multiple of 1.7x was calculated using the enterprise value as of the valuation date, divided by the trailing 12-month net sales of relevant comparable companies in China based on latest public financial information available. |
• | The enterprise value was based on financial information extracted from unaudited Qoros management accounts as of the valuation date. |
• | The equity investment is calculated based on Kenon’s 12% interest in Qoros. |
• | The discount for lack of marketability is 15.1%, and is calculated using an average volatility of 45.6% based on a time period of 2.26 years (remaining contractual term of the put option as described below). |

The following table shows the valuation techniques used in measuring Level 3 fair values as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used.
Type | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable data | Inter-relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value measurement |
Long-term investment (Qoros) (2021) | The Group assessed the fair value of the long-term investment (Qoros) using the present value of the expected cash flows. | The likelihood of expected cash flows. | The estimated fair value would increase if the likelihood of expected cash flows increase. |
Long-term investment (Qoros) (2020) | The Group assessed the fair value of: (1) the equity interest using a market comparison technique based on market multiples derived from the quoted prices of companies comparable to the investee, taking into consideration certain adjustments including the effect of the non-marketability of the equity investments; and (2) the put option using standard valuation techniques such as: Binomial model using risk free rates from market information suppliers. | - Adjusted market multiples. - The Group researched on data from comparable companies on inputs such as expected volatility and credit risk. | The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if: - the period end price is higher (lower) - the volatility is higher (lower) - the credit risk is lower (higher) |

Note 30 – Basis of preparation
30.1 | Statement of compliance |
The statements of financial position have been prepared in accordance with the Group’s basis of preparation (see Note 2 of consolidated financial statements).
Note 31 – Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the statements of financial position.
31.1 | Subsidiaries |
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Investments in subsidiaries are stated in the Company’s statements of financial position at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
31.2 | Investment in associate |
Associates are entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20% and 50% of another entity. In assessing significant influence, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible into shares of the investee are taken into account.
Associates are stated in the Company’s statements of financial position at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
31.3 | Impairment |
An impairment loss in respect of subsidiaries and associate is measured by comparing the recoverable amount of the investment with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss, and is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
Non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGU.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

As part of the spin-off under the agreement, certain IC subsidiaries were transferred to the Company by means of issuance of shares. The cost of subsidiaries transferred was recorded in the Company’s balance sheet based on their underlying book values. As at December 31, 2021, the unquoted equity investment of $170 million includes net liabilities at the date of the spin-off, of those remaining subsidiaries transferred to the Company under the spin-off. During the year, Kenon increased its investment in OPC by $64 million (refer to Note 10.A.1.p for further details). |

Note 36 - Financial instruments
Financial risk management
Overview
The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
• | credit risk |
• | market risk |
• | liquidity risk |
This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s management of capital.
Risk management framework
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management. Management is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management. Management reports regularly to the Board of Directors on its activities.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash equivalent, other receivables and deposits.
The carrying amount of financial assets in the statement of financial position represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company does not hold any collateral in respect of its financial assets.
The cash and cash equivalents are held with bank and financial institution counterparties, which are rated A- (or equivalent) and above by independent rating agencies.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Company’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s cash balances placed with financial institutions. The Company has no significant exposure to interest rate risk.
Currency risk
The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the Company’s functional currency, the US dollar (USD). The currencies in which these transactions primarily are denominated are Chinese yuan (CNY), British pound (GBP), Israel shekel (NIS) and Singapore dollar (SGD).
In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Company’s policy is to ensure that its net exposure is kept to an acceptable level by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address short-term imbalances.

Note 36 – Financial instruments (Cont’d)
Exposure to currency risk
At the reporting date, the Company’s exposure to significant foreign currency risk was as follows:
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
$’000 | $’000 | |||||||
Cash & cash equivalents (SGD) | 1,119 | 842 | ||||||
Other receivables (SGD) | 153 | 96 | ||||||
Trade and other payables (NIS) | (50 | ) | (5,523 | ) | ||||
Trade and other payables (GBP) | (245 | ) | (256 | ) | ||||
Accrual (SGD) | (82 | ) | (47 | ) | ||||
Accrual (NIS) | (176 | ) | (72 | ) | ||||
Accrual (GBP) | (3 | ) | (4 | ) |
Sensitivity analysis
A weakening (strengthening) of the foreign currency, as indicated below, against the US dollar at December 31 would have increased/(decreased) profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Company considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases.

SGD (5% weakening) | (60 | ) | (44 | ) | ||||

GBP (5% weakening) | 12 | 13 |
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The Company monitors its liquidity and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Company’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
