B.
Domestic and geopolitical instability in the defense (security) situation in Israel – 2023 was characterized by significant instability against the background of internal domestic events and geopolitical defense (security) matters. As stated in the Report of the Board of Directors for 2023, as at the approval date of this report, the war that broke out on October 7, 2023 is still ongoing. In this regard, it is noted that against the background of the War and the geo‑political defense (security) instability, in April 2024 the State of Israel withstood an air strike of missiles from Iran. The war and the security situation led to impacts and restrictions on the Israeli economy that include, among other things and based on the actual situation, reduction of economic activities, a large call for military reserves duty (soldiers), limitations on gatherings in work places and public areas, restrictions on carrying on classes in the educational system, temporary closing of air traffic routs, etc. As at the approval date of the report, most of the said restrictions had been gradually relaxed, according to the security situation existing in the State and the relevant combat areas.

In addition, as at the approval date of the report the War has had external (consequential) impacts including, among others, interruptions in the marine routes to Israel due to attacks on commercial and supply ships and a significant cutback of the activities of the foreign airline companies in Israel. These impacts could have an adverse impact on the arrival of equipment and foreign teams to Israel (including equipment and teams required for purposes of maintenance and construction of the Group’s activity sites in Israel) and the time schedules for their arrival.

Furthermore, as at the approval date of the report the War could impact Israel’s foreign relations which, in turn, could also impact the State’s economic situation. The said events involve significant uncertainty and could impact the macro‑economic environment, including a negative impact on the strength of the Israeli economy and the financial position of the State of Israel, including possible unfavorable changes in Israel’s credit rating (in February 2024, the international rating company “Moody’s” announced a reduction of Israel’s credit rating to a level of A2 with a negative rating outlook and in April 2024 the international rating company S&P gave notice of a reduction of the credit rating of Israel to a level of A+ with a negative rating outlook) and of the Israeli financial institutions, particularly the Israeli banking system (as at the publication date of the report, both “Moody’s” and S&P reduced the credit rating of some of the Israeli banks), adversely affect investments in the Israeli economy and trigger a removal of money and investments from Israel, increase the costs of the financing sources in Israel, cause a weakening of the exchange rate of the shekel against the other currencies (particularly the dollar), harm the activities of the business sector and create instability in the Israeli capital market (including increased volatility, falling prices of traded securities, and limited liquidity and accessibility). Also, the possible impacts of the War, including events such as the Iranian attack, could impact the possibility of acquiring insurance policies covering war and terrorist risks to the Group’s assets in Israel or a significant worsening of the terms of these policies. To the extent the above estimates materialize, wholly or partly, or in a case of a worsening of the security situation, this could negatively impact the Company’s activities and the activities of the Company’s customers and suppliers in Israel (including physical harm or curtailment of activities) and could also negatively impact the results of the Company’s activities and the availability and cost of the capital and financing sources that are required by the Company, mainly for purposes of supporting its continued business growth. As at the approval date of the report, there is no certainty regarding the duration or extent of the impact of these items. For details regarding the significance of the War on the Group’s business activities and results – see Section 12, below.


C.
Global events and broad impacts on raw‑material prices and the supply chain – for details – see Section 3.1C of the Report of the Board of Directors for 2023.

D.
Update of the electricity tariffs – on February 1, 2024, the annual update to the tariff for 2024 for electricity consumers of Israel Electric Company entered into effect. Pursuant to the decision, the generation component was updated to NIS 0.3007 per kilowatt hour, a decrease of 1.1% compared with the generation component at the end of 2023 – this being mainly due to the surplus receipts expected from sale of the Eshkol power plant, which led to a reduction in the generation sector. In addition, as part of the said tariff update decision, it was noted that pursuant to the decision designation of the receipts from sale of Eshkol was determined – the surplus receipts from the sale will first be used to cover expenses incurred during the war, including costs of diesel oil, and only thereafter will the surplus receipts be used to cover non‑recurring past expenses.

Set forth below is data regarding the annual weighted‑average generation component (the prices are denominated in agurot per kilowatt hours):

It is noted that the results of the Group’s activities in Israel are materially impacted by changes in the electricity generation component tariff, in such a manner that an increase in the electricity generation component has a positive impact on the Group’s result, and vice‑versa.


E.
Supplementary arrangements and granting of a supply license to Rotem – further to that stated in Section 3.2E of the Report of the Board of Directors for 2023 regarding a proposed decision regarding the matter of supplementary arrangements and imposition of certain covenants on Rotem (“the Hearing”), on March 13, 2024 a decision of the Electricity Authority was announced further to the Hearing (“the Decision”). In general, the arrangements in the Decision are not significantly different than the arrangements included in the Hearing, which include, among other things, imposition of certain covenants on Rotem, including with respect to the matter of deviations from the consumption plans and the market model, along with provision of a supply license to Rotem (if it meets the conditions for receipt of a license), this being against the background of the intention of the Electricity Authority to consolidate in many respects the regulation applicable to Rotem with that of other bilateral electricity generators, and thus, to permit Rotem to operate in the energy market in a manner similar and equal to the said generators.

Further the decision of the Electricity Authority regarding “extension of dates for construction of electricity generation facilities throughout Israel and an additional extension in the area surrounding western part of the south region and the northern border due to the defense (security) situation”, which was published on March 26, 2024, as part of which the start date for application of the market model regulation to private generators was extended to July 1, 2024, on April 11, 2024 a decision of the Electricity Authority was published postponing the application date of the decision determining the supplemental arrangements and granting a supply license to Rotem to July 1, 2024 (in place of May 1, 2024)2. As at the approval date of the report, Rotem had filed a request to receive a supplier license that is in the processes in the Electricity Authority. For additional details – see Section 7.3.18.5 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2023.

Decision regarding the matter of “smart meters”

On April 10, 2024, the Electricity Authority published a Decision according to which it will be possible to assign household consumers without a “smart meter” to private transactions based a normative consumption model of a household consumer. The Decision will enter into effect on July 1, 2024 with respect to virtual suppliers (which do not have means of generation) and on November 1, 2024 with respect to conventional suppliers (which have means of generation, such as the Company), unless the dates are advanced due to a notification of the critical service supplier of early completion of the preparations necessary for purposes of implementation of the benchmarks. The Decision permits the Company to increase the diversity of its customers by means of selling electricity directly and/or indirectly to all households.


G.
Bilateral market regulation for generation facilities in the transmission network



On April 17, 2024, the Electricity Authority published a public call with respect to principles for a bilateral market regulation for generation facilities in the transmission network. Pursuant to the public call, the Electricity Authority is considering determination of a regulation whereby facilities for generation of renewable energy and storage facilities that are connected to the transmission network will be permitted to sell the electricity generated in bilateral transactions pursuant to a mechanism whereby the generator will sign a deal with a virtual supplier for sale of availability, which will convey the supplier a right to acquire energy from the network at the market price, in a capacity that will conform to the facility’s technology through use of a “conformance coefficient”, as detailed in the public call, in every year up to the amount of the capacity stated in the availability certificate it acquired from the generator, and the generator will commit to operate in accordance with the market model. In addition, the supplier and the generator will sign a financial hedging transaction covering the energy generated in the facility. According to the public call, in the first stage it will apply solely to generation facilities using renewable energy, including with integrated storage, and to independent storage facilities that are connected to the transmission network, provided that certain conditions specified in the public call have been met.

It is noted that the Ramat Beka solar project that is being developed by the Company might operate under this regulation, to the extent it is actually advanced and subject to the final regulations that will be determined (if any).

H.
Electricity and natural gas prices

The results of the activities of the CPV Group are impacted to a significant extent by the electricity prices in effect in the areas in which the Group’s power plants operate. The main factors impacting the electricity prices are demand for electricity, available generation capacity (supply) and the natural gas price in the area in which the power plant operates.

With respect to the area of “energy transition” activities, in general, the natural gas price is significant in determination of the price of the electricity in most of the regions in which the power plants of the CPV Group operate that are powered by natural gas. For the most part, in the existing production mix, over time, to the extent the natural‑gas prices are higher, the marginal energy prices will also be higher, and will have a positive impact on the energy margins of the CPV Group due to the high efficiency of the power plants it owns compared with other power plants operating in the relevant activity markets (the impact could be different between the projects taking into account their characteristics and the area (region) in which they are located).

Electricity and natural gas prices (Cont.)

It is noted that the actual electricity prices of the power plants of the CPV Group could be higher or lower than the regional price shown in the above table due to the existence of a Power Basis (the difference between the power plant’s specific electricity price and the regional price). The Power Basis is a function of transport pressures, local cost of electricity generation, local demand for electricity, losses in the transmission lines and additional factors. For details regarding the Power Basis data for 2021–2023 – see Section 3.3H to the Report of the Board of Directors for 2023.

The moderate decline in the electricity prices in the period of the report compared with the corresponding period last year stems mainly from the decline in the natural gas prices in the activity regions of the CPV Group, as detailed below. The said decline in the electricity prices was more moderate than the decline in the natural gas prices due to supply and demand trends in the activity areas of the CPV Group: an increase in the demand for electricity as a result of electrification in the transportation, real estate and industry sectors, and due to the increase in the demand for electricity in the data‑center sector, as a result of the transition to “cloud” and growth in the Artificial Intelligence activities. At the same time, there was a decline in the available capacity as a result of closing of old, inefficient and polluting conventional power plants (mainly coal‑powered power plants), on the one hand, and limited new supply of power plants due to a relatively slow entry rate of renewable energies and a lack of construction of new conventional power plants, on the other hand. For details regarding the EPA regulations relating to emissions – see Section I, below.

*Source: The Day‑Ahead prices at gas Midpoints as reported in Platt’s Gas Daily. It is clarified that the actual gas prices of the power plants of the CPV Group could be significantly different.

In general, in the period of the report, the natural gas prices were a bit lower compared with the corresponding period last year due to the relatively warm winter. Regarding the Maryland power plant, which is located in the Transco Zone 5 region, which was more resilient with respect to the demand for natural gas in the period of the report, the natural gas prices increased compared with the corresponding period last year.

Electricity margin in the operating markets of the CPV Group (Spark Spread)

Spark Spread is the difference between the price of the electricity in the relevant area (zone) and the price of the natural gas (used for generation of the electricity) in the relevant area (zone). The Spark Spread is calculated based on the following formula:

Spark Spread ($/MWh) = price of the electricity ($/MWh) – [the gas price ($/MMBtu) x thermal conversion ratio (MMBtu/MWh)]

Set forth below are the average Spark Spread margins for each of the main markets in the power plants of the CPV Group are operating (the prices are denominated in dollars per megawatt/hour)*:

Based on electricity prices as shown in the above table, with a discount for the thermal conversion ratio (heat rate) of 6.9 MMBtu/MWh for Maryland, Shore and Valley, and a thermal conversion ratio of 6.5 MMBtu/MWh for Three Rivers, Towantic and Fairview. It is clarified that the actual energy margins of the power plants of the CPV Group could be significantly different due to, among other things, the existence of Power Basis as described in the above.

The moderate decrease in the electricity margins (Spark Spread) in the period of the report compared with the corresponding period last year, as shown by the above table, corresponds to the trend of a decrease in the natural gas prices along with a more moderate decline in the electricity prices. Regarding the Maryland power plant, most the decline in the electricity margin stems from an increase in the gas prices, as detailed above.

It is noted that the hedging plans of the electricity margins in the power plants of the CPV Group that are powered by natural gas is intended to reduce the fluctuations of the CPV Group’s electricity margin resulting from changes in the natural gas and electricity prices in the energy market (for details regarding agreements hedging of the electricity margin of the CPV Group – see Section 4E below).

For details regarding a forecast of the EOX company for the end of first quarter of 2024 of electricity and natural gas prices to the in the activity areas of CPV group until the end of 2024 and for the years 2025-2026 – see Appendix A below.

Capacity revenues

Capacity is a component that is paid by regulatory bodies that manage demand and loads (system operators) for electricity generators, with respect to their ability to generate energy at the required times for purposes of reliability of the system. This revenue component is an additional component, separate and apart from the component based on the energy prices (which is paid in respect of sale of the electricity). Definition of the capacity component, as stated, including entitlement to revenue for seeing to availability of the electricity, including provisions regarding bonus or penalty payments, are governed by the tariffs determined by the FERC of every market. Accordingly, NY‑ISO, PJM and ISO‑NE publish mandatory public tenders for determination of the capacity tariffs. It is noted that, in the nature of things, an increase in the capacity prices favorably impacts CPV’s results, and vice‑versa. The extent of the impact on the overall results changes as a function of the energy margins, which is the most significant component of the gross profit (margin for generation of the electricity and the sale thereof) – this being taking into account that the weight of the capacity component is usually lower than the weight of the energy margin component.

PJM market

In the PJM market, the capacity payments vary between the market’s sub‑regions, as a function of local supply and demand and transmission capabilities.

Set forth below are the capacity tariffs in the sub‑regions that are relevant to the CPV Group’s power plants and in the general market (the prices are denominated in dollars per megawatt per day). It can be seen in the following table that generally the capacity prices have declined from period to period.

Changes in the format of the capacity tenders of PJM

In October 2023, PJM submitted to FERC changes in the format for the capacity market for the purpose of applying the changes to the tenders planned for July 2024 (for a one‑year period that starts in the middle of 2025). The proposed changes include changes in the modeling of risks, a recognition process for the source of the capacity, requirements for examination of generators, a ceiling for an annual penalty on the performance levels and a ceiling for recognized bids. In the first quarter of 2024, FERC approved some of the PJM’s proposed changes, including in connection with the level/quota of the availability permitted to be sold, examination requirements for generators and conformance of planning parameters with the increase in the weight of the winter risk reliability parameter and at the same time rejected other proposed changes. In the estimation of the CPV Group, as at the date of the report, the proposed changes that were approved, are expected to have a positive impact on the capacity tariffs5.

NYISO market

Similar to the PJM market, in the NYISO market capacity payments are made in the framework of a central mechanism for acquisition of capacity. In the NYISO market, there are a number of submarkets, wherein there could be various capacity demands as a function of local supply and demand and transmission capability. NYISO makes seasonal tenders in every spring for the upcoming summer (the months of May through October) and in the fall for the upcoming winter (the months of November through April). In addition, there are supplemental monthly tenders for the balance of the capacity not sold in the seasonal tenders. The power plants are permitted to assure the capacity tariffs in the seasonal tender, the monthly tender or through bilateral sales.

Set forth below are the capacity prices determined in the seasonal tenders in NYISO market, the capacity prices rose compared with prior periods – this being mainly due to exit from the system of power plants and an anticipated increase in demand (the prices are denominated in dollars per megawatt per day):

ISO‑NE market

The Towantic power plant, which operates in this market, participated for the first time in a capacity tender for 2018–2019 at a price of $313.97 MW/day and determination of the tariff for seven years in respect of 725 megawatts linked to the Handy Whtiman Price Index, which will apply up to May 2025.

Similar to the PJM market, in the ISO‑NE market capacity payments are made as part of a central mechanism for acquisition of capacity. In the ISO‑NE market, there are a number of submarkets, in which there should be capacity requirements that differ as a function of local supply and demand and transport capacity. ISO‑NE executes forward tenders for a period of one year, commencing from June 1, three years from the year of the tender. In addition, there are supplementary monthly and annual tenders for the balance of the capacity not sold in the forward tenders. The power plants are permitted to guarantee the capacity payments in the forward tenders, the supplementary tenders or through bilateral sales.

Set forth below are the capacity payments determined in the sub‑regions that are relevant to the Towantic power plant (the prices are denominated in dollars per megawatt per day):

2.
Further to that stated in Section 8.1.4 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2023, in April 2024 the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) published final emissions’ regulations in the framework of the Clean Air Act. Pursuant to the new rules, up to January 1, 2032, a reduction of emissions will be required at a carbon‑capture rate of 90% for coal‑fired generation facilities that are expected to operate after 2039 and new baseload natural gas-fired power plants (that were not under construction as at May 2023). Less stringent requirements were provided for, among other things, existing coal‑fired generation facilities that integrate natural‑gas fired generation that are expected to discontinue their operations prior to 2039. For new gas turbines, the regulations require that full baseload (as defined) generation through use of natural gas combustion will be executed with maximum utilization of efficient technologies in order to limit emissions to no more than 800 lbs. CO2/MWh-gross until January 1, 2032 and thereafter a reduction to 100 lbs. CO2/MWh-gross via 90% carbon capture or co-firing with hydrogen. Efficiency requirements and reduced emission restrictions were provided with respect to gas turbines that generate at a partial baseload or a low baseload. The various states have two years to develop compliance plans for the existing coal plants but compliance for new natural gas plants (the construction of which started after 2023) is immediate. As at the date of the report, several state Attorneys General have filed appeals challenging the new rules. 

The development portfolio of the CPV Group, which includes wind energy and solar projects, with a scope of more than 4.4 gigawatts, and natural gas projects with carbon capture with a scope of about 1.3 gigawatts, are expected to benefit from a significant tailwind due the regulation, to the extent it is implemented in the manner it was published (or at all). In addition, in the estimation of the CPV Group its active natural‑gas powered power plants are expected to have a significant competitive advantage under the said regulation in light of their high level of efficiency along with entry barriers that are expected to be created in the market for construction of new natural‑gas powered power plants.

As at the approval date of the report, there is no certainty regarding the actual impacts of the said new regulation on the market and on the CPV Group, and the matter depends on, among other things, the policies and the manner of implementation of the rules by the relevant electricity authorities and entities and/or on legal proceedings in connection therewith.

Analysis of the results of operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 (in millions of NIS)

The Group’s activities in Israel and the United States are subject to seasonal fluctuations.

In Israel, the TAOZ tariffs are supervised (controlled) and published by the Electricity Authority. Generally, the electricity tariffs in Israel in the summer and the winter are higher than those in the transition seasons. It is noted that acquisition of the gas, which constitutes the main cost in this activity area, is not impacted by seasonality of the TAOZ (or the demand hours’ brackets).

In the United States, the electricity tariffs are not supervised (controlled) and are impacted by the demand for electricity, which is generally high in the summer and the winter periods compared with the average and they are materially impacted by the natural gas prices, which are usually higher in the winter compared with the annual average. In addition, in connection with renewable energy projects, in wind projects the wind speeds tend to be higher in the winter and lower in the summer, whereas in solar projects the radiation from the sun tends to be higher in the spring and summer months and lower in the fall and winter months.

C.
Analysis of the change in adjusted EBITDA – Israel segment

Set forth below is an analysis of the change in adjusted EBITDA in Israel in the period of the report compared with the corresponding period last year (in NIS millions):



1.
Energy margin – the increase stems mainly from a decrease in the natural gas prices, in the amount of about NIS 18 million, as a result of the entry into effect of the Energean agreement commencing from the end of the first quarter of 2023. On the other hand, there was an increase in the natural gas price due to the strengthening of the dollar against shekel, in the amount of about NIS 5 million.


2.
Availability (operational) – the decrease stems mainly from a shutdown of the Rotem power plant in March 2024 for purposes of planned maintenance work, which lasted for 17 days (as stated in Section 7.11.1 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2023), which had a negative impact on Rotem’s results for the period of the report and compared with the corresponding period last year.

It is noted that during above‑mentioned period, sale of electricity to Rotem’s customers continued, where Rotem purchased electricity from the System Operator in order to supply the full demand of its customers during the shutdown.


3.
Commercial operation of Zomet – in the period of the report, planned maintenance was performed a number of times at the Zomet power plant which had a negative impact on the power plant’s availability (for details – see Section 4H) and on its results accordingly.


4.
One‑time eventsfor details regarding events in the first quarter of 2023 – see Note 28C(3) to the  annual financial statements.

In addition, in the first quarter of 2024, an amendment to the agreement was signed with Zomet’s construction contractor, in the framework of which the construction contractor paid Zomet compensation, in the amount of about NIS 26 million (about $7 million) in respect of a loss of revenues caused to Zomet due to delay in the commercial operation date of the power plant. For additional details – see Note 8A(2) to the interim financial statements.

E.
Additional details regarding electricity hedges and guaranteed capacity payments in the Energy Transition segment in the U.S.

As part of its policy for management of the exposures, the CPV Group is in the practice, from time to time, of entering into hedging agreements, which reduce the fluctuations in the electricity margins. In addition, the capacity revenues for the nominal capacity of the power plants running on natural gas are determined for certain future periods, as detailed in Section 3.3I above.

Set forth below is the scope of the hedging for the rest of 2024 and for 2025 as at the date of the report (the data presented in the tables below is on the basis of the rate of holdings of the CPV Group in the associated companies)17.

Pursuant to the policy for hedging electricity margins as at the date of the report, in general the CPV Group seeks to hedge up to 50% of the scope of the expected generation. The actual hedge rate could ultimately be different.

  (**)
The net energy margin is the energy margin (Spark Spread) plus/minus Power Basis less carbon tax and other variable costs. For details regarding the manner of calculation of the electricity margin (Spark Spread) – see Section 3.3H above. The market prices of the net hedged energy are based on future contracts for electricity and natural gas.

F.
Analysis of the change in net income (in millions of NIS)



(1)
Most of the increase stems from depreciation expenses of the Gat power plant (about NIS 4 million) and Mountain Wind (about NIS 6 million) power plant which were consolidated for the first time in the second quarter of 2023, and the Zomet power plant (about NIS 12 million) and Maple Hill (about NIS 5 million) that were commercially operated in the second and fourth quarters of 2023, respectively.


(2)
Most of the increase stems from financing expenses relating to acquisition of the Gat power plant, in the amount of about NIS 7 million, to acquisition of the Mountain Wind power plant, in the amount of about NIS 5 million, the commercial operation of the Zomet power plant, in the amount of about NIS 20 million and financing expenses that were recorded in the statement of income in respect of the financing framework of a renewable energy project in the U.S., in the amount of about NIS 9 million.


(3)
An increase in other expenses in the first quarter of 2024, in the amount of about NIS 25 million, stems from an impairment of value of Gnrgy. For additional details regarding impairment of value of Gnrgy and an agreement in connection with Gnrgy shares – see Note 6B to the interim statements and the Company’s Immediate Report dated May 5, 2024 (Reference No.: 2024‑01‑046917). In addition, there was an increase, in the amount of about NIS 31 million, stemming from a loss from impairment of value of Hadera 2 due to the government’s decision to reject the plan – for additional details see Note 10F to the interim financial statements.

That stated in connection with projects that have not yet reached operation (including generation facilities on the premises of the consumers) including with reference to the expected operation date, the technologies and/or the anticipated cost of the investment, is “forward‑looking” information, as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on, among other things, the Company’s estimates and assumptions as at the approval date of the report and regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized (in whole or in part). Completion of the said projects (or any one of them) may not occur or may occur in a manner different than that stated above, among other things due to dependency on various factors, including those that are not under the Company’s control, including assurance of connection to the network and output of electricity from the project sites and/or connection to the infrastructures (including gas infrastructures), receipt of permits, completion of planning processes and licensing, completion of construction work, final costs in respect of development, construction, equipment and acquisition of rights in land, the proper functioning of the equipment and/or the terms of undertakings with main suppliers (including lenders), and there is no certainty they will be fulfilled, the manner of their fulfillment, the extent of their impact or what their final terms will be. Ultimately technical, operational or other delays and/or breakdowns and/or an increase in expenses could be caused, this being as a result of, among other things, factors as stated above or as a result of occurrence of one or more of the risk factors the Company is exposed to, including construction risks (including force majeure events and the War and its impacts), regulatory, licensing or planning risks, macro‑economic changes, delays and increased costs due relating to the supply chain and changes in raw‑material prices and etc. For additional details regarding risk factors – see Section 19 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2023. It is further clarified that delays in completion of the projects beyond the date originally planned for this could impact the ability of the Company and the Group companies to comply with their obligations to third parties, including authorities, conditions of permits, lenders, yard consumers, customers and others, in connection with the projects, and cause a charge for additional costs, payment of compensation or starting of proceedings (including under guarantees provided).
19
It is noted that a delay in the commercial operation beyond the original contractual date, which is not considered a justified delay as defined in the project agreements, could trigger payment of monthly compensation at a limited graduated rate (taking into account the length of the delay, where a delay after full utilization of the compensation ceiling could give rise to a cancellation right). It is clarified that in the initial delay period, the amount of the compensation for an unjustified delay is not material. It is noted that the construction contractor of the Sorek 2 project delivered a force majeure notification due to the outbreak of the War, and Sorek 2 project delivered on its behalf a force majeure notification to the initiator of the desalination facility. The construction work, its completion the commercial operation date and the costs involved with the construction could be adversely impacted by the War and/or its impacts. It is further noted that based on a decision of the Electricity Authority, dates were extended, among other things, as part of the arrangement that applies to the project due to the defense (security) such that an extension of was allowed for the date for a financial closing. As at the date of the report, completion of the construction and operation of the Sorek 2 generation facility are subject to fulfillment of conditions and factors that do not yet exist, including reaching a financial closing. Ultimately, the date expected for completion of the construction  and commencement of the operation, as shown in the table could be delayed as a result of, among other things, a delay in completion of the construction work (including construction of the desalination facility), delays in receipt of the required permits, disruptions in arrival of equipment, force majeure events, occurrence of risk factors to which the Company is exposed, including delays relating to the war or its consequences. It is clarified that delays as stated could impact the project’s costs and could also trigger and increase in costs (beyond the expected cost indicated above) and/or could constitute non‑compliance with liabilities to third parties.

The information presented in this section with reference to development projects of the CPV Group, including regarding the status of the projects and/or their characteristics (the capacity, technology, the possibility for integrated carbon capture, expected construction date etc.), constitutes “forward‑looking” information as it is defined in the Securities Law, regarding which there is no certainty it will be realized or the manner in which it will be realized. It is clarified that as at the approval date of the report there is no certainty regarding the actual execution of the development projects (in whole or in part), and their progress and the rate of their progress is subject to, among other things, completion of development and licensing processes, obtain control over the lands, signing agreements (such as equipment and construction agreements), execution of construction processes, completion of the connection process, assurance of financing and/or receipt of various regulatory approvals and permits. In addition, advancement of the development projects is subject to the discretion of the competent authorities of the CPV Group and of the Company.
27
In general, the CPV Group views projects that in its estimation are in a period of up to two years or up to three years to the start of the construction as projects in the advanced development stage (there is no certainty the development projects, including projects in the advanced stage, will be executed). That stated is impacted by, among other things, the scope of the project and the technology, and could change based on specific characteristics of a certain project, as well as from the external circumstances that are relevant to the project, such as the anticipated activities’ market or regulatory circumstances, including, projects that are designated to operate in the PJM market could be impacted by the changes in the connection processes as part of the proposed change described in Section 8.1.2.2(A) of Part A to the Periodic Report for 2023, and their progress could be delayed as a result of these proposed changes. It is clarified that in the early development stages (in particular), the scope of the projects and their characteristics are subject to changes, if and to the extent they reach advanced stages.
28
The capacities in the solar technology included in this report are denominated in MWdc. The capacities in the solar technology projects in the advanced development stages and in the early development stages are about 1,200 MWac and about 1,300 MWac.

29
The information stated with reference to the projected start date of the construction, the expected cost of the investment, investment of a tax partner and/or the scope of the EBITDA estimated for the Rogues Wind wind project constitutes “forward‑looking” information as it is defined in the Securities Law, which is based on estimates of the CPV Group as at the date of the report, and regarding which there is no certainty they will materialize. The actual said parameters (to the extent the project is completed) could be different (in whole or in part) due to, among other things, changes in the project’s commercial structure, changes in the terms of the PPA, changes in the conditions in the energy market, delays in the start date or the completion date of the construction, regulatory changes, or as a result of realization of one or more of the risk factors to which the CPV Group is exposed. Completion of the project is subject to various conditions, including, development and licensing processes, signing of agreements (such as equipment and construction agreements), execution of construction processes, assurance of a (grid) connection process, assurance of financing and/or receipt of regulatory approvals and various permits. It is noted that non‑compliance with dates (timetables) or a lack of progress of the project could impact, among other things, compliance with obligations under the PPA agreement (which are secured by guarantees).

Board’s Explanations
                  
Cash flows provided by operating activities
   
263
     
103
 
Most of the increase in the cash flows provided by operating activities stems from an increase in cash‑basis income, in the amount of about NIS 83 million, and an increase in the Group’s working capital, in the amount of about NIS 60 million.  In addition, in the period of the report, dividends were paid from associated companies in the U.S., in the amount of about NIS 18 million.
                      
Cash flows used in investing activities
   
(247
)
   
(263
)
Most of the decrease in the cash used in investing activities in the period of the report stems from acquisition of the Gat power plant, for a consideration of about NIS 268 million in the corresponding period last year. On the other hand, in the corresponding period last year the Group received cash, in the amounts of about NIS 125 million and about NIS 73 million, in respect of release of short‑term deposits and release of collaterals relating to hedging electricity margins in the CPV Group, respectively. In addition, there was an increase in investments in property, plant and equipment in the U.S. and in Israel, in the aggregate amount of about NIS 37 million.
                      
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities
   
(197
)
   
779
 
Most of the increase in the cash flows used in financing activities stems from amounts received in the corresponding period last year: (1) about NIS 452 million, in respect of a swap of shares of transaction and investment with Veridis; (2) long‑term loans, in the amount of about NIS 450 million, for purposes of financing the acquisition of the Gat power plant transaction; (3) a receipt, in the amount of about NIS 197 million, in respect of investments and loans from holders of non‑controlling interests in the CPV Group; and (4) a receipt, in the amount of about NIS 100 million, relating to withdrawals from Zomet’s financing agreement framework.
 
In addition, in the period of the report the Group repaid short‑term loans and frameworks, in the amount of about NIS 204 million, there was an increase in payments of debentures of about NIS 80 million, and, there was an increase of about NIS 32 million relating to repayment of long‑term loans (including early repayment in Hadera, in the amount of about NIS 25 million).
 
On the other hand, in the corresponding period last year, the Group repaid a loan to the prior holders of the rights in the Gat power plant, in the amount of about NIS 303 million, and in the period of the report the Company raised about NIS 198 million, resulting from an issuance of debentures (Series D).

For additional details – see the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements of cash flows in the Company’s interim financial statements.

As at March 31, 2024 and 2023 and December 31, 2023, the Group’s working capital (current assets less current liabilities) amounted to about NIS 410 million, about NIS 825 million and about NIS 382 million, respectively.

As at March 31, 2024, there were no warning signs pursuant to Regulation 10(B)(14) of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, that require publication (presentation) of a forecasted statement of cash flows for the Company.

As at the approval date of the report, signing of the Potential Transaction and formulation of the final conditions (if it is ultimately executed) are subject to completion of a due diligence examination by the Investor, completion of the negotiations between the parties and formulation of a final binding agreement in connection with the Potential Transaction that are agreed to by the parties. Accordingly, as at the approval date of the report, there is no certainty that the Potential Transaction will ultimately be executed or with respect to its final conditions (if it is ultimately executed), which could be different than that stated above39. In addition, if the final agreements are ultimately signed, there is no certainty that the transaction will be completed, since completion of the transaction, as stated, is expected to be subject to the fulfillment of preconditions, including receipt of consents of third parties and regulatory approvals, where necessary and non‑occurrence of the risk factors to which the Company’s activities are exposed, as detailed in Section 8.21 of Part A of the Periodic Report for 2023.

Additional Information regarding Activities of the Energy Transition Segment in the U.S.

EOX Forecast of Natural Gas and Electricity Prices until the end of 2024 and for the years 2025 – 2026

As additional background with respect to the activities of the Energy Transition Segment in the U.S. and in order to assist regarding accessibility to additional available external data, presented below are forecasts of electricity and natural gas prices in the regions in which the power plants of the CPV Group in the Energy Transition segment in the U.S. operate, which were prepared by the EOX Company1 and it is based on future market prices of electricity and natural gas.

The data in the tables below reflect forecasts of the electricity and natural gas prices as received from EOX, where with reference to the forecast of the electricity prices the information was processed by the CPV Group in the following manner:

In the peak hours electricity is sold in the maximum scope;
Sale of the balance of the electricity is made in the off‑peak hours.

The electricity margin appearing in the table below is calculated based on the following formula:

Electricity margin ($/MWh) = the electricity price ($/MWh) – [the gas price ($/MMBTU) X the thermal conversion ratio* (heat rate) (MMBTU/MWh)]

*
Assumption of a thermal conversion ratio (heat rate) of 6.9 MMBTU/MWh for Maryland, Shore and Valley, and a thermal conversion ratio (heat rate) of 6.5 MMBTU/MWh for Three Rivers, Towantic and Fairview.

The data included in this Appendix below is based on forecasts of electricity and gas prices made by EOX – a market consulting company that provides information and data services in the area of the Company’s activities in the U.S. in the Energy Transition area, and it is presented as additional background and in order to assist accessibility to available external data regarding the area of activities. It is clarified and emphasized that in light of the fact these are market forecasts, quite naturally the Company is not able to make (and did not make) an independent examination of the forecasts or the underlying data. It is clarified that there are additional entities that provide similar information services that might provide forecasts that differ from these prices. The Company does not undertake to update data as stated.

In addition, it is emphasized that forecasts are involved regarding which there is no certainty with respect to the accuracy or actual viability thereof. The electricity and natural gas prices (in the market, in general, and of the power plants of the CPV Group, in particular) might be different, even significantly, from that presented as a result of various factors, including, macro‑economic factors, regulatory changes, geopolitical events (including global events) that impact the supply and demand of natural gas and electricity, weather events, events relating to the electricity sector in the U.S. (demand, availability of power plants, operational events, proper functioning of the electricity grid, transmission infrastructures) and/or failures in (problems with) the assumptions and estimates that form the basis of the forecast.


40 EOX is a subsidiary of a commodity broker, OTC Global Holdings, which publishes forward prices for the electricity and natural gas markets based on trading data in the futures markets. The futures prices are an objective way of estimating the future expectation with respect to electricity and natural gas prices since they represent transactions with entities operating in these markets involving buying and selling futures contracts at specific prices.

Review Report of the Independent Auditors to the Shareholders of OPC Energy Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, including the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as of March 31, 2024 and the condensed consolidated interim statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended.The Board of Directors and management are responsible for preparing and presenting financial information for this interim period in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and are also responsible for preparing financial information for this interim period under Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to draw a conclusion regarding the financial information for this interim period based on our review.

Review scope

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 - “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel. A review of financial information for interim periods consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.A review is substantially smaller in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might have been identifiable in an audit.Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the aforementioned financial information was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS 34).

In addition to that mentioned in the previous paragraph, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the aforementioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

OPC Energy Ltd.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The Reporting Entity

OPC Energy Ltd. (hereinafter – “the Company”) was incorporated in Israel on February 2, 2010. The Company’s registered address is 121 Menachem Begin Road, Tel Aviv, Israel. The Company’s controlling shareholder is Kenon Holdings Ltd. (hereinafter - the “Parent Company”), a company incorporated in Singapore, the shares of which are dual-listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (hereinafter - the “TASE”).

The Company is a publicly-traded company whose securities are traded on the TASE.

As of the report date, the Company and its investees (hereinafter - the “Group”) are engaged in the generation and supply of electricity and energy through three reportable segments. For details regarding the Group’s operating segments during the reporting period, see Note 27 to the Financial Statements as of the date and year ended December 31, 2023 (hereinafter – the “Annual Financial Statements”).

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A.
Statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
 
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 (hereinafter – “IAS 34”) - “Interim Financial Reporting” and do not include all of the information required in complete Annual Financial Statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements. In addition, these financial statements were prepared in accordance with the provisions of Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports) 1970.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements were approved for publication by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 20, 2024.


B.
Functional and presentation currency
 
The New Israeli Shekel (NIS) is the currency that represents the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. Accordingly, the NIS is the Company’s functional currency. The NIS also serves as the presentation currency in these financial statements. Currencies other than the NIS constitute foreign currency.


C.
Use of estimates and judgments
 
In preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, the Company’s management is required to use judgment when making estimates, assessments and assumptions that affect implementation of the policies and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. It is clarified that the actual results may differ from these estimates.

Management’s judgment, at the time of implementing the Group’s accounting policies and the main assumptions used in the estimates involving uncertainty, are consistent with those used in the Annual Financial Statements.


D.
Reclassification
 
The Group carried out immaterial classifications in its comparative figures such that their classification will match their classification in the current financial statements.


E.
Seasonality
 
The income of the Group companies from the sale of energy in Israel are mostly based on the generation component, which constitutes part of the demand side management tariff, which is supervised and published by the Israeli Electricity Authority. The year is broken down into three seasons: summer (June through September), winter (December, January and February) and transitional (March through May and October through November), with each season having a different tariff for each demand hour cluster.

In the United States, the electricity tariffs are not regulated and are affected by the demand to electricity, which is generally higher than average during the summer and winter; electricity tariffs are also materially affected by natural gas prices, which may generally be higher in winter than the annual average. In addition, with regard to wind-powered renewable energy projects, the speed of the wind tends to be higher during the winter and lower during the summer, whereas in solar-powered projects solar radiation tends to be higher during the spring and summer months and lower during the fall and winter months.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.
The Group’s accounting policies in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as the policies applied to the Annual Financial Statements.
 
B.
New standards not yet adopted
 
IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
This standard supersedes IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements. The objective of the standard is to provide improved structure and content to the financial statements, specifically the statement of income. The standard includes new disclosure and presentation requirements, and requirements which have been retained from IAS 1 with slight changes in wording. Generally, expenses in the statement of income shall be classified into three categories: operating income, investment income, and finance income. The standard also includes requirements to provide separate disclosure in the financial statements regarding the use of NON-GAAP measures, and specific guidance on aggregation and disaggregation of items in the financial statements and the notes.

The standard will be initially applied for annual periods commencing on January 1, 2027; early application is permitted.

The Group is studying the effects of the standard on the Financial Statements.

NOTE 6 – SUBSIDIARIES
 

A.
Further to Note 25E1 to the Annual Financial Statements regarding the completion of the transaction for the acquisition of the Gat Power Plant on March 30, 2023, during the reporting period, the Company completed the attribution of the acquisition cost of the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities and no change took place therein compared with the amounts reported in the Annual Financial Statements.
 

B.
Further to Notes 12D and 25A4 to the Annual Financial Statements regarding the signing of a separation agreement between OPC Israel, the Founder and the additional shareholder in Gnrgy, and further to OPC Israel’s signing a non-binding memorandum of understanding for the sale of Gnrgy’s shares to a third party, the memorandum of understanding with the third party did not amount to an agreement, and OPC Israel did not issue a notice about the purchase of the Founder’s Gnrgy shares within the period set in the agreement, and on May 4, 2024 the right to purchase OPC Israel’s Gnrgy shares within the period and under the conditions set in the agreement was transferred to the Founder.

In view of the above, the Company assessed the recoverable amount of Gnrgy as of March 31, 2024, in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36 and based on an external independent appraiser, using the fair value method net of costs to sell, and based on the expected discounted cash flows (DCF), a long-term growth rate of 3% and a weighted discount rate of 21.5%. Since Gnrgy’s recoverable amount is lower than its carrying amount, an approx. NIS 25 million impairment loss (which is mostly attributed to goodwill) was recognized in the net other expenses line item.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS, CLAIMS AND OTHER LIABILITIES


A.
Commitments
 

1.
On March 18, 2024, a wholly-owned partnership of OPC Israel (hereinafter - the “Partnership”) engaged with a third party in an agreement for the purchase of natural gas. The agreement will terminate on June 30, 2030 or at the earlier of: the end of the consumption of the Total Contractual Quantity of approx. 0.46 BCM as set out in the agreement.
 
Under the agreement, the Seller undertook to provide to the Partnership a daily quantity of gas, as will be decided by the Partnership each month, in accordance with the mechanism set out in the agreement, and - for its part - the Partnership assumed a take or pay liability for a certain annual consumption as set out in the agreement. The agreement includes arrangements regarding quantities consumed above or below the minimum annual quantity. The price of the natural gas is denominated in USD and based on an agreed formula, which is linked to the generation component and includes a minimum price. Furthermore, the agreement included additional provisions and arrangements customary in agreements for the purchase of natural gas, including with regard to the natural gas’s quality, supply shortage, force majeure, limitation of liability, early termination provisions under certain cases, subject to terms and conditions and reassignment.


2.
Further to Note 10E(1)A to the Annual Financial Statements regarding an agreement for the construction of the Zomet Power Plant (hereinafter - the “Construction Agreement”), in March 2024 an amendment to the Construction Agreement was signed, under which, among other things, the Construction Contractor paid Zomet an approx. NIS 26 million (approx. USD 7 million) as compensation due to a delay in the commercial operation, and on the other hand Zomet paid approx. NIS 43 million in respect of milestone payments, which were delayed, net of amounts that will serve as a collateral for an additional period as set out in the agreement.
 
As a result of the signing of the amendment to the Construction Agreement, the Company recognized in the reporting period income of approx. NIS 26 million (approx. USD 7 million) in respect of the said compensation.


3.
Subsequent to the reporting date - on May 13, 2024, a CPV Group subsidiary entered into a binding tax equity agreement with a tax equity partner in respect of the Stagecoach project (hereinafter - the “Project”), at the total amount of approx. NIS 193 million (approx. USD 52 million) (hereinafter - the “Investment Agreement”), which was completed on its signing date, after the project reached commercial operation in the second quarter of 2024.
 
In accordance with the investment agreement, some of the tax equity partner’s investment in the project - approx. NIS 160 million (approx. USD 43 million) - was advanced on the completion date, and the remaining balance - approx. NIS 33 million (approx. NIS 9 million) - will be advanced subsequently as a function of the project’s production, as these terms are defined in the investment agreement, and subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set in connection therewith in the investment agreement, as is generally accepted in agreements of this type.

In consideration for its investment in the project, the tax equity partner is expected to benefit from most of the project’s tax benefits, including a production tax credit (PTC), which awards a tax benefit for each KWh generated using renewable energy over a 10-year period, and to participation in the distributable cash flow from the project (gradually, and at rates and for periods set in the investment agreement). Furthermore, the tax equity partner is entitled to most of the project’s taxable income or loss for tax purposes subject to certain limitations. At the end of 9.5 years from the completion date, the tax equity partner’s share in such taxable income and tax benefits decreases significantly, and CPV Group will have the option to acquire the tax equity partner’s share in the project within a certain period and in accordance with a mechanism and conditions set out in the investment agreement in connection therewith.
 
As is generally accepted in engagements of this type, the investment agreement includes a guarantee provided by CPV Group, and an undertaking to indemnify the tax equity partner in connection with certain matters. Furthermore, the tax equity partner has certain veto rights, among other things, in respect of the creation of certain liens on the Project Partnership’s assets or the entry of the Project Corporation into additional material Project agreements.


B.
Claims and other liabilities
 
Further to Note 28A3 to the Annual Financial Statements regarding the proposed resolution on complementary arrangements and the imposition of certain criteria on Rotem (hereinafter - the “Hearing”), in March 2024, the Israeli Electricity Authority’s resolution was delivered further to the Hearing (hereinafter - the “Resolution”). Generally, the arrangements as per the Resolution are not materially different from the arrangements included in the Hearing, which comprise, among other things, the application of certain criteria on Rotem, including regarding deviations from consumption plans and the market model, alongside the award of a supply license to Rotem (if it applies for one and complies with the conditions for receipt thereof), in view of the Israeli Electricity Authority’s intention to consolidate, in many respects, the regulation that applies to Rotem with the regulation that applies to other bilateral electricity producers, thereby allowing Rotem to operate in the energy market in a manner that is similar and equal to that of producers. The resolution will enter into effect on July 1, 2024.

NIS 1,095 million, respectively, including property, plant and equipment purchased under a business combination during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, for a total of approx. NIS 870 million.
 
The said purchase amounts also include credit costs, which were capitalized to property, plant and equipment at approx. NIS 7 million and approx. NIS 23 million, in the three‑month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Furthermore, these amounts include non-cash purchases totaling approx. NIS 13 million and approx.

NIS 57 million (approx. USD 15 million) and extended loans totaling approx. NIS 17 million (approx. USD 5 million), based on their stake in the Partnership. As of the report approval date, the balance of the investment commitments and advanced shareholder loans of all Partners is approx. USD 295 million (approx.

Further to Note 11B1 to the Financial Statements regarding an option to a lease agreement with Infinya Ltd. in respect of an area of approx. 6.8 hectares (adjacent to the Hadera Power Plant) for the purpose of constructing a power plant, on April 17, 2024, the Israeli government rejected National Infrastructures Plan (NIP) 20B, for the construction of a natural gas-fired power generation plant (hereinafter - “Hadera 2 Project”) on the said land.
 
In view of the above Government Resolution, the Company assessed the recoverable amount of the Hadera 2 Project in its financial statements in accordance with the provisions of IAS 36, and accordingly recognized an approx. NIS 31 million impairment loss.
 
As of the report approval date, the Company is assessing the Government Resolution, and - accordingly - is considering taking action in connection with the resolution, including legal action. In addition, the Company is considering other alternatives in relation to the Hadera 2 site, in the event that it will be impossible to construct a natural gas-fired power plant.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
NOTE 11 - ATTACHMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MATERIAL ASSOCIATES

The Group attaches to these condensed consolidated interim financial statements the condensed interim financial statements of Valley, Towantic and Shore, and the condensed interim financial data of Fairview (hereinafter - “Material Associates”), including adjustments from US GAAP to IFRS presented below. According to an approval issued by the Israel Securities Authority Staff at the request of the Company, the Company shall publish the condensed interim financial statements of Fairview for the first quarter of 2024 by June 30, 2024.
 
According to legal advice received by CPV Group, under the relevant US law it is not required to sign the financial statements of the material associates, and the attached financial statements were approved by the competent organs, and a review report of the independent auditors was attached thereto.

The Material Associates’ functional and presentation currency is the USD. As of the report date, the exchange rate is NIS 3.681 per USD.

The financial statements of the Material Associates are drawn up in accordance with US GAAP, which vary, in some respects, from IFRS. Following is information regarding adjustments made to the Material Associates’ financial statements in order to make them compatible with the Company’s accounting policies and rules.

The repayment date of Shore’s ancillary credit facilities, which as of March 31, 2024 total approx. NIS 350 million (approx. USD 95 million) and of which approx. NIS 260 million (approx. USD 71 million) has already been utilized, is March 31, 2025 (less than 12 months from the approval date of the financial statements). In addition, the repayment date of Shore’s long‑term loans, which as of March 31, 2024 total approx. NIS 1.3 billion (approx. USD 361 million), is December 31, 2025. Shore’s operating cash flows is its main source of liquidity. While Shore has produced cash flows that are sufficient to meet its liabilities under its financing agreements up to March 31, 2024, Shore expects that if the repayment date of the ancillary credit facilities is not extended, it will not have sufficient cash balances to repay the said credit facilities by their repayment date on March 31, 2025. If these credit facilities are not extended and Shore does not have sufficient liquid means to repay them by March 31, 2025, a cross‑default scenario is expected to be triggered, which may also trigger a call for immediate repayment, on that date, of Shore’s long‑term loans.

Shore is seeking to refinance, with the lenders, the long‑term loans as well as to extend the credit facilities prior to March 31, 2025. The CPV Group believes it reasonable that Shore will reach binding agreements with the lenders to extend the said credit facilities and/or to refinance the entire long‑term debt by March 31, 2025. It is noted that the CPV Group believes that in light of the energy margins and capacity prices, and pursuant to Shore’s financial performance as of March 31, 2024, particularly the coverage ratio that stands at 1.18 as of that date, it is possible that in connection with extension of the credit facilities and loans, as stated, Shore will require a certain capital injection, such that, the CPV Group believes as of the approval date of the financial statements, the share of the CPV Group in the said capital injection (if required) is expected to come from its own sources, such that an investment by the shareholders will not be necessary (in any event, it is not expected that an investment by the Company will be needed). As of the approval date of the financial statements, there is no certainty that the assessments of the CPV Group regarding the abovementioned events will materialize. Since the said events are not under the control of the CPV Group, there are significant doubts as to the ability of Shore to continue as a going concern.

Accordingly, Shore’s interim financial statements as of March 31, 2024 include disclosure regarding the circumstances relating to Shore’s ability to repay its liabilities within a period of 12 months of the approval date of the financial statements.

It is noted that Shore’s interim financial statements were prepared on the assumption that it will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to the values and classification of the assets and liabilities that may be necessary if Shore is unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as of March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
NOTE 11 - ATTACHMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF MATERIAL ASSOCIATES (cont.)

Below is a breakdown of the key adjustments between US GAAP and IFRS in Valley, Fairview, Towantic and Shore


A.
Maintenance costs under the Long-Term Maintenance Plan (hereinafter - the “LTPC Agreement”): under IFRS, variable payments which were paid in accordance with the milestones as set in the LTPC Agreement are capitalized to the cost of property, plant and equipment and amortized over the period from the date on which maintenance work was carried out until the date on which maintenance work is due to take place again. Under US GAAP, the said payments are recognized on payment date within current expenses in the statement of income.
 

B.
Hedge effectiveness of swaps: in accordance with the IFRS - the associates recognize adjustments relating to the ineffective portion of their cash flow hedge under profit and loss. Under GAAP US, there is no part which is not effective, and the hedging results are recognized in full in other comprehensive income.
 

C.
Intangible assets: Under IFRS, certain intangible assets are defined as property, plant and equipment.
 

D.
Restricted cash: There is a difference between the presentation and classification of restricted cash in the cash flow statements and in the statements of financial position.
 

E.
Right-of-use assets: In IFRS, certain contracts are classified as leases. Under US GAAP, these contracts do not meet the definition of lease contracts and are recorded as an operating expense.
 

F.
Certain compound financial instruments are classified in full as derivatives in IFRS. Under US GAAP, these financial instruments are bifurcated between derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments.
 

G.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment in Valley: In 2021, prior to the acquisition date of CPV Group, indications of impairment of the property, plant and equipment were identified. Under IFRS, the carrying amount exceeded the recoverable amount (the discounted cash flows that Valley expects to generate from the asset), and consequently an impairment loss was recognized. Under US GAAP, the non-discounted cash flows that Valley expects to generate from the asset exceeded the carrying amount, and therefore no impairment loss was recognized. Since the impairment loss was taken into account as part of the excess cost allocation work as of the acquisition date of CPV Group, its subsequent reversal in Valley’s financial statements, if recognized, shall not affect the Company's results.
