Kenon Holdings Reports Second Quarter 2015 Results

Singapore, September 8, 2015. Kenon Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: KEN, TASE: KEN) announces its results for the second quarter in 2015 as well as additional updates.

Key Highlights

•

On July 23, 2015, we completed the pro rata distribution in specie of our ordinary shares of Tower (NASDAQ and TASE: TSEM).

•

On August 31, 2015, IC Power Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, filed a Registration Statement on Form F-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

•

IC Power’s net income attributable to controlling shareholder (Kenon) for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2015, as reported by IC Power, was $33 million and $17 million, respectively.¹

•

IC Power’s Adjusted EBITDA for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2015, as reported by IC Power, was $175 million and $90 million, respectively.

•

IC Power’s results of operations this quarter were impacted by lower margins at OPC due in part to the lower tariffs published by the Israel Public Utilities Authority (Electricity) (PUAE) in January 2015, as OPC’s tariffs for customers are based on PUAE rates; the PUAE has announced further tariff reductions effective from September 2015.

•

IC Power continued to develop its assets in advanced stages of construction. As of June 30, 2015, CDA (a 510 MW hydro project in Peru), Samay I (a 600 MW thermoelectric project in Peru) and Kanan (a 92 MW thermal generation project in Panama) have invested $787 million, $268 million and $61 million, respectively, in their respective construction, and have completed 79%, 76% and 76% of these projects, respectively.

•

In Q2 2015, we and our JV partner Chery each provided a RMB400 million ($64 million) shareholder loan to Qoros; also in Q2, Kenon provided a back-to-back guarantee to Chery for RMB175 million ($28 million), plus up to RMB 30 million of related fees, in connection with Qoros’ drawdown of RMB350m ($56 million) under a long-term loan, which drawdown is guaranteed by Chery.

IC Power’s net income attributable to Kenon for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2015, as reported by Kenon, was $60 million and $48 million, respectively; the amounts differ from amounts reported by IC Power as a result of the revision of certain provisions at IC Power, which were adjusted in IC Power’s Q1 and 2014 financial statements, but were not adjusted until Q2 2015 for Kenon. For further information, see “Business Developments – Decisions by the PUAE (Israel’s Power Regulator).”

Discussion of Results for the Three Months Ended 2015

Set forth below is a discussion of Kenon’s results of operations. Kenon’s consolidated results of operations essentially comprise the results of I.C. Power Ltd. (“IC Power”). The results of Qoros Automotive Co., Ltd. (“Qoros”), ZIM Integrated Shipping Ltd. (“ZIM”) and Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (“Tower”) are reflected under results from associates. For a summary of the net income contribution from Kenon’s subsidiaries and associated companies, see Appendix A.

IC Power

IC Power has identified as the reportable segments for its consolidated financial statements: Peru, Israel, Central America (which consists of Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador and Panama) and Other, which reflects the results of the additional countries in which IC Power operates (Bolivia, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Colombia) and IC Power’s share in income from associated companies and holding company results.

See Appendix B for IC Power’s consolidated financial information. See Appendix C for the definition of IC Power’s Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-IFRS financial measure, and for a reconciliation to IC Power’s net income. See Appendix D for summary financial information of IC Power’s subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. See Appendix E for summary financial information of IC Power’s segments for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2014.

The following discussion of IC Power’s results of operations below is derived from IC Power’s consolidated financial statements (which reflect the certain adjustments described in Appendix B).

Revenues

IC Power’s revenues were $333 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $336 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 1% year-on-year (“YoY”) decrease. See below a discussion of revenues by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014.

•

Peru – $117 million, compared to $102 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 15% YoY increase, primarily as a result of an increase in the volume of energy sold by Kallpa this quarter to 1,592 GWh from 1,445 GWh in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and an increase in Kallpa’s revenue from transmission tolls this quarter to $21 million from $15 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

•

Israel – $69 million, compared to $93 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 26% YoY decrease, primarily resulting from a decline in Israel’s PUAE generation component tariff in 2015, which forms the basis of OPC’s energy prices, and the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel. OPC’s average price of energy sold decreased from $93 per MWh in the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $71 per MWh this quarter.

•

Central America – $97 million, compared to $87 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting an 11% YoY increase, primarily a result of the acquisition and consolidation of Puerto Quetzal (Guatemala) in September 2014.

•

Other – $50 million, compared to $54 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 7% YoY decrease, primarily as a result of the expiration of a PPA of CEPP (Dominican Republic), which reduced CEPP’s volumes and the prices at which it sold its energy. These effects were partially offset by an increase in revenues at JPPC (Jamaica), which IC Power started consolidating in May 2014.

Cost of Sales

IC Power’s cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) was $234 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $244 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 4% YoY decrease. See below a discussion of cost of sales by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014

•

Peru – $68 million, compared to $63 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 8% YoY increase, primarily as a result of an $8 million increase in spot energy purchases to address Kallpa’s customers higher consumption and a $2 million increase in transmission charges. These increases were partially offset by a $4 million decline in gas costs as a result of Kallpa’s lower generation and a $2 million decrease in maintenance expenses.

•

Israel – $57 million, compared to $71 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 20% YoY decrease, due to lower gas costs (as OPC’s gas costs are in part indexed to the PUAE tariff, which was lower in 2015) and the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the New Israeli Shekel. In addition, costs of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2014 included the effect of certain provisions that have subsequently been revised as discussed in Appendix B.

•

Central America – $77 million, compared to $72 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 7% YoY increase, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Puerto Quetzal in September 2014.

•

Other – $34 million, compared to $39 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 14% YoY decrease, primarily reflecting an $8 million decline in CEPP as a result of a decrease in spot energy purchases and fuel cost, which was partially offset by a $5 million increase in JPPC’s fuel and maintenance costs.

Adjusted EBITDA

IC Power’s Adjusted EBITDA was $90 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $74 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 22% YoY increase, primarily as a result of the following (by segment):

•

Peru – an $8 million increase, primarily as a result of an increase in the volume of energy sold;

•

Israel – a $6 million decrease, primarily as a result of lower margins due to a weaker New Israeli Shekel against the US Dollar and lower PUAE tariffs in 2015, which resulted in a $24 million decline in revenues but only a $14 million decline in cost of sales; Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2014 also included certain provisions that were subsequently revised (see Appendix B for further information);

•

Central America – a $2 million increase, primarily as a result of the acquisition of Puerto Quetzal, which increased the Adjusted EBITDA by $5 million, and was partially offset by a $2 million decline in ICPNH’s EBITDA, primarily as a result of higher maintenance expenses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2015; and

•

Other – a $12 million increase, primarily as a result of a $3 million decline in legal expenses at Inkia, a $4 million dividend payment received from Edegel in the three months ended June 30, 2015, and a $4 million increase as a result of the acquisitions of JPPC (Jamaica) and Surpetroil (Colombia).

Net Income

IC Power’s net income was $21 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $16 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 31% YoY increase, primarily as a result of the increase in its Adjusted EBITDA and the following:

•

$13 million decline in finance expenses, in part, as a result of a $95 million repayment of the capital notes owed to Israel Corporation Ltd. in June 2014; and

•

$6 million lower income tax expenses, primarily reflecting $8 million in withholding taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2014 related to dividends received by IC Power from Inkia.

The above effects were partially offset by the recognition in the three months ended June 30, 2014 of the $24 million gain on bargain-purchase recognized by IC Power from the acquisition of JPPC in 2014.

IC Power’s net income from continuing operations by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014 were as follows:

•

Peru – $15 million net income, compared to net income of $10 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014

•

Israel – $4 million net loss, compared to net income of $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014

•

Central America – $9 million net income, compared to net income of $5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014

•

Other – $1 million net loss, compared to a net loss of $3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014

Capital Expenditures

IC Power’s capital expenditures was $219 million in the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily relating to the expenditures of CDA ($72 million), Samay I ($122 million) and Kanan ($11 million).

Qoros

Kenon recognizes 50% of Qoros’ results under “share in income from associates.” The discussion below reflects 100% of Qoros’ financial results and contains conversions of certain RMB amounts into U.S. Dollars at a rate of 6.2:1 RMB/U.S. Dollar.

See Appendix F for Qoros’ consolidated financial information.

Revenues

Qoros had revenues of RMB368 million ($59 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to RMB209 million ($34 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 76% YoY increase. Qoros sold 3,256 vehicles during the period (compared to 1,671 vehicles in Q2 2014), representing a 95% YoY increase in the number of vehicles sold.

Cost of Sales

Qoros’ costs of sales were RMB366 million ($59 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared RMB187 million ($30 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 96% YoY increase, as a result of the increase in the number of vehicles sold as compared to Q2 2014.

Research and Development Expenses

Qoros continues to invest in the research and development of its next vehicle model scheduled for launch in early 2016, the Qoros 5 SUV, and the 2016 model year versions of the Qoros 3 Sedan, the Qoros 3 Hatch and the Qoros 3 City SUV. Qoros had research and development expenses of RMB72 million ($12 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2015

Selling and Distribution Expenses

Qoros had selling and distribution expenses of RMB150 million ($24 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to RMB208 million ($34 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 28% YoY decrease, as Qoros did not launch a marketing or advertising campaign during the first half of 2015.

Administration Expenses

Qoros had administration expenses of RMB147 million ($24 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to RMB168 million ($27 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a 12% YoY decrease.

Finance Costs, Net

Qoros had finance costs of RMB93 million ($15 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to RMB29 million ($5 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2014 due to an increase in total debt outstanding.

Loss for the Period

As a result of the above, Qoros had a loss of RMB476 million ($77 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to RMB487 million ($79 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Capital Expenditures

Qoros had capital expenditures of RMB386 million ($62 million) in the three months ended June 30, 2015. During this period, Qoros made investments in its next SUV model and the 2016 model year versions of the Qoros 3 Sedan, the Qoros 3 Hatch, and the Qoros 3 City SUV.

ZIM

In the three months ended June 30, 2015, ZIM recorded operating income and net income attributable to the owners of ZIM of $42 million and $10 million, respectively, as compared to an operating loss and net loss attributable to the owners of ZIM of $9 million and $69 million, respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2014. ZIM’s improved results, following its restructuring in July 2014, are primarily the result of a decrease in operating expenses (resulting, in part, from a decrease in bunker expenses) and a decline in ZIM’s financing expenses, which is partially offset by a decrease in revenues, primarily as a result of a decline in carried cargo (resulting, in part, from ZIM’s closure of a line from Asia to Northern Europe) and a decline in average revenue per TEU (twenty foot equivalent unit). ZIM publishes its results on its website. For more information, see www.ZIM.com. This website, and any information referenced therein, is not incorporated by reference herein.

IC Power

Assets Under Construction

•

Update on assets in advanced stages of construction:

Samay I is expected to commenced commercial operation by the middle of 2016 and has an estimated construction cost of $380 million.

–

As of June 30, 2015, Kanan has invested an aggregate $61 million in the project (including $40 million of intercompany expenses relating to Puerto Quetzal’s and CEPP’s sale of the barges to Kanan) and has completed 76% of the project.

Kanan is expected to commence commercial operation by the end of 2015 and has an estimated construction cost of $73 million (including $40 million of intercompany expenses relating to Puerto Quetzal’s and CEPP’s sale of the barges to Kanan).

•

On August 10, 2015, IC Power acquired Advanced Integrated Energy (“AIE”), which holds a conditional license for the construction of a 120 MW cogeneration natural gas power plant and will seek regulatory approval for licenses in respect of an additional 25 MW in Israel, for NIS 60 million (approximately $16 million). The project is in the advanced development stage and construction is expected to commence in early 2016. Based upon its initial assessment, IC Power expects that the total cost of completing the AIE plant (including the consideration for the acquisition of AIE and the construction cost of the power station) will be approximately $200 million. The AIE plant is expected to commence commercial operations in the second half of 2018.

•

Project pipeline: IC Power is currently assessing various projects in Israel and various Latin American countries, such as Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua. These potential projects range in size from small-scale power facilities (e.g., less than 40 MW) to large-scale power facilities (e.g., approximately 550 MW) and utilize different fuels and technologies, including natural gas, hydroelectric, wind, and stranded gas. IC Power is also considering acquiring companies and assets in power generation and related businesses (e.g., transmission and distribution companies or assets). There is no guarantee that IC Power will proceed with any of the above-mentioned projects.

Decisions by the PUAE (Israel’s Power Regulator)

In August 2015, Israel’s Public Utilities Authority (the PUAE) published a decision that independent power producers (“IPPs”) in Israel would be obligated to pay system management service charges, retroactively from June 1, 2013. According to the PUAE decision, the amount of system management service charges that would be payable by OPC from the effective date to June 2015 is approximately NIS 152 million (approximately $40 million), not including interest rate and linkage costs. IC Power is considering the implications of this decision and may contest it. This decision has resulted in a revision in certain provisions that had been taken by OPC, and has resulted in adjustments to IC Power’s income statement. Specifically, IC Power’s cost of sales were adjusted downwards by $46 million and $6 million in the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2015, respectively, resulting in a corresponding upward adjustment in IC Power’s Adjusted EBITDA in those periods. There was no adjustment to Kenon’s financials during those periods, but Kenon recognized a $52 million gain ($31 million for Kenon’s shareholders after tax effect) in the three months ended June 30, 2015 in connection with its revision of this provision in its financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2015. For more information, see Appendix B.

In August 2015, the PUAE also published a notice for a hearing regarding tariff updates effective from September 9, 2015. Such tariffs reflect a decline in the generation component tariff from NIS 300.9 per MWh and NIS 301.5 per MWh to a single tariff of NIS 260.2 per MWh. OPC uses privately negotiated rates to sell electricity to customers under its PPAs, but such rates are expressed as a discount to the generation component included within the PUAE rate, so a decline in PUAE rates will result in a corresponding decline in OPC’s rates and, accordingly, its revenues. OPC’s main cost of sales is gas, and prices for the gas it consumes under its supply agreement with the Tamar Group are indexed in part to the PUAE generation component tariff and NIS/USD exchange rate. However, the supply agreement also contains a floor price and, as a result of previous declines in the PUAE generation component tariff, OPC will soon begin to pay the floor price, so the decline in the tariff will result in a greater decline in OPC’s margins.

Qoros

Car Sales

In the three months ended June 30, 2015, Qoros sold approximately 3,256 vehicles as compared to 2,488 vehicles sold in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 1,671 vehicles in the three months ended June 30, 2014, representing an increase of 31% and 95%, respectively.

In the six months ended June 30, 2015, Qoros sold 5,744 vehicles as compared to 2,561 vehicles sold in the six months ended June 30, 2014

In July 2015, Qoros sold 1,230 cars

Dealerships

As of June 30, 2015, there were 81 Qoros dealerships (70 of which were operational), 12 additional dealerships under construction, and twenty three signed Memorandums of Understanding with respect to the development of 23 additional dealerships.

Qoros Brand Day

On August 19, 2015 Qoros held a Qoros Brand Day in its Changshu plant with approximately 120 media personnel, 100 car owners and Key Opinion Leaders, and 33 dealers in attendance. The Qoros Brand Day event served as the kick-off for a series of Qoros marketing campaigns focusing on its brand positioning and product line updates.

Qoros also launched the new 2016 model year versions of the Qoros 3 sedan, the Qoros 3 Hatch and the Qoros 3 City SUV. Two additional trims are also being offered for each of the Qoros 3 Sedan and the Qoros 3 Hatch, which has extended Qoros’ pricing range to the RMB100,000 entry price.

Awards

In April 2015, the Qoros 3 Sedan was awarded a 5 plus star safety rating in the China – New Car Assessment Program (C-NCAP)’s 2015 crash test, and received the highest score ever in its 9-year history.

In July 2015, Qoros received a Connected Service Award at the 2015 China Auto Customer Care Award in recognition of the QorosQloud. Qoros was the only Chinese brand among the eight brands which received a 2015 China Auto Customer Care Award in July.

Shareholder Investments in Qoros and Guarantees of Qoros Bank Debt

In Q2 2015, Kenon and Chery each provided a RMB400 million ($64 million) shareholder loan to Qoros.

Also in Q2 2015, Kenon provided a back-to-back guarantee to Chery for RMB175 million ($28 million), plus up to RMB30 million of related fees, in connection with Qoros’ drawdown of RMB350m ($56 million) under a long-term loan, which drawdown is guaranteed by Chery.

Voluntarily Recall of Certain Vehicle Models

In July 2015, Qoros voluntarily recalled 6,736 vehicles as a result of information derived from frontal impact crash tests of new Qoros models under development, which suggested that certain Qoros vehicles already in production and in the market may have had safety belt pre-tensioner system crimping assembly process issues. Regarding customer safety as an absolute priority, Qoros decided to recall all vehicles within the scope of impact and to replace the front safety belt pre-tensioner free of charge, to eliminate any risk. As of the date of this release, Qoros has not received any field incidences or customer complaints related to this defect across any of its vehicles in the market.

China Vehicle Market Conditions

The overall passenger vehicle market in China continued to grow in the first half of 2015 with a 7% YoY growth rate and 8.97 million units sold during this period. The first quarter of 2015 experienced an 11% YoY growth rate, and the second quarter of 2015 experienced a 3% YoY growth rate. This growth was unevenly distributed by segment; sales in the C Sedan and Hatch segments decreased by 10% and 34% YoY, respectively, while sales in the SUV segment increased by 43% YoY. Some auto manufacturers are offering significant price reductions, discounts, and/or rebates, to stimulate purchases of their vehicles. In addition, as sales are generally lower during the summer, Qoros expects such price reductions to continue, and potentially escalate, during the third quarter of 2015.

Additionally, the Shanghai Composite Index has declined by more than 30% percent since mid-June and this decline in China’s stock market could further impact negatively consumption rates and the purchase of costly items, such as vehicles, throughout China. In light of current financial market and economic conditions in China, which could affect vehicle sales industry-wide in China, Qoros may find it challenging to so increase sales, and may even experience a decline in sales.

Qoros is evaluating appropriate measures to address the above market conditions. Qoros is also seeking to optimize its cost structure, and may undertake cost-cutting measures, including workforce optimizations, the downsizing of various departments and other measures to align its operations with its business plan.

Decisions by the PUAE (Israel’s Power Regulator)

In August 2015, Israel’s Public Utilities Authority (the PUAE) published a decision that independent power producers (IPPs) in Israel would be obligated to pay system management service charges, retroactively from June 1, 2013. According to the PUAE decision, the amount of system management service charges that would be payable by OPC from the effective date to June 2015 is approximately NIS 152 million (approximately $40 million), not including interest rate and linkage costs. IC Power is considering the implications of this decision and may contest it.

IC Power’s financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 initially authorized for issuance included provisions by OPC for system management service charges and diesel surcharges in the aggregate amount of $70 million as of December 31, 2014 and $79 million as of March 31, 2015. In IC Power’s opinion, due to the PUAE decision, it is more likely than not that OPC will not be charged more than the amount that was indicated in the PUAE decision. Therefore, OPC revised the provisions, such that the revised balance of the provision as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 was $27 million and $31 million, respectively. Because IC Power reapproved its financial statements in connection with its filing of a registration statement with the SEC, this revision resulted in adjustments to IC Power’s income statement (a $46 million and $6 million downward adjustment in cost of sales, and all line items below cost of sales, in 2014 and Q1 2015, respectively, which resulted in a corresponding upward adjustment in IC Power’s Adjusted EBITDA during those periods) and in its statement of financial position as of the end of 2014 and Q1 2015; for 2014, the provisions were taken over the full year, but the adjustment was only made in Q4 2014.

In accordance with IFRS, Kenon revised its provisions as of June 30, 2015, such that the revised balance of the provision as of such date in Kenon’s financial statements was $38 million, resulting in a gain of $52 million ($31 million to Kenon’s shareholders after tax effect). Kenon was not required to revise its financial statements as of December 31, 2014 or March 31, 2015, as Kenon’s financial statements for these periods were already approved at the time of the PUAE’s August 2015 decision. Accordingly, income statement figures in IC Power’s financials for 2014 and Q1 and Q2 2015 differ from those attributable to IC Power in Kenon’s financials for those periods.

Appendix C

IC Power’s Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release, including the financial tables, presents Adjusted EBITDA, net debt and net financial liabilities, which are financial metrics considered to be “non-IFRS financial measures.” Non-IFRS financial measures should be evaluated in conjunction with, and are not a substitute for, IFRS financial measures. The tables also present the IFRS financial measures, which are most comparable to the non-IFRS financial measures as well as reconciliation between the non-IFRS financial measures and the most comparable IFRS financial measures. The non-IFRS financial information presented herein should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for operating income, net income or per share data prepared in accordance with IFRS.

IC Power defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as for each period for each entity as net income, excluding net income from discontinued operations, net of tax (excluding dividends received from discontinued operations), before depreciation and amortization, finance expenses, net, income tax expense and asset write-off, and excluding share in income from associates, and negative goodwill. Adjusted EBITDA is not recognized under IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting principles as measures of financial performance and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or loss, cash flow from operations or other measures of operating performance or liquidity determined in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent funds available for dividends or other discretionary uses because those funds may be required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital and other commitments and contingencies. Adjusted EBITDA presents limitations that impair its use as a measure of our profitability since it does not take into consideration certain costs and expenses that result from our business that could have a significant effect on our net income, such as financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, capital expenses and other related charges.

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

“Adjusted EBITDA” for each entity is defined as net income, excluding net income from discontinued operations, net of tax (excluding dividends received from discontinued operations), before depreciation and amortization, finance expenses, net, income tax expense (benefit) and asset write-off, and excluding share in income from associates, measurement to fair value of our-existing share, and negative goodwill.

Adjusted EBITDA is not recognized under IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting principles as measures of financial performance and should not be considered as substitutes for net income or loss, cash flow from operations or other measures of operating performance or liquidity determined in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent funds available for dividends or other discretionary uses because those funds may be required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital and other commitments and contingencies. Adjusted EBITDA presents limitations that impair its use as a measure of profitability since it does not take into consideration certain costs and expenses that result from each business that could have a significant effect on its net income, such as financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, capital expenses and other related charges.

Adjusted EBITDA is not recognized under IFRS or any other generally accepted accounting principles as a measure of financial performance and should not be considered as a substitute for net income or loss, cash flow from operations or other measures of operating performance or liquidity determined in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent funds available for dividends or other discretionary uses because those funds may be required for debt service, capital expenditures, working capital and other commitments and contingencies. Adjusted EBITDA presents limitations that impair its use as a measure of profitability since it does not take into consideration certain costs and expenses that result from each business that could have a significant effect on its net income, such as financing expenses, taxes, depreciation, capital expenses and other related charges.
