Kenon Holdings (NYSE: KEN) lifts core profit, plans $200M dividend
Kenon Holdings reported full-year 2025 results driven mainly by its power subsidiary OPC. Consolidated revenue rose to $872 million from $751 million, while profit from continuing operations increased to $148 million from $53 million, reflecting higher OPC earnings and associate contributions.
OPC’s revenue grew to $872 million, with $675 million from Israel and $197 million from the U.S., and Adjusted EBITDA including associates improved to $457 million. As of December 31, 2025, Kenon held $1,478 million of cash and cash equivalents and total assets of $5,380 million.
Kenon’s board approved an interim cash dividend of about $200 million or $3.85 per share, payable to shareholders of record on April 13, 2026. OPC completed a March 2026 private placement of 8,000,000 shares for roughly NIS 800 million (about $257 million). Kenon also settled a capped call over five million ZIM shares, generating about $34 million of gross cash proceeds and fully exiting its ZIM exposure.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Core power operations strengthened while Kenon returns significant cash via dividends.
Kenon shows healthier ongoing earnings even though headline profit fell versus 2024. Revenue rose from $751 million to $872 million, and profit from continuing operations increased from $53 million to $148 million, as OPC expanded in both Israel and the U.S.
OPC’s Adjusted EBITDA including associates climbed from $332 million to $457 million, supported by higher ownership in CPV projects and stronger associate income of $152 million versus $45 million. Finance expenses, net, at OPC improved from $82 million to $63 million, helped by currency effects and higher interest income.
Capital allocation is notable: Kenon ended 2025 with $1,478 million of cash and no material parent-level debt, yet plans an interim $200 million dividend and has already realized about $34 million from settling its ZIM capped call. OPC’s private placement of NIS 800 million (around $257 million) adds growth capital while shifting some funding to equity. The net impact depends on future returns from OPC’s projects and any further distributions from associates.

Revenue from private customers in respect of infrastructure services in Israel – Increased by $51 million in 2025 as compared to 2024. Excluding the impact of translating OPC’s revenue from NIS
to USD, such revenue increased by $42 million primarily as a result of higher average tariffs in 2025;
|
| • |
Revenue from sale of energy to private customers in Israel – OPC’s revenue from the sale of electricity to private customers is derived from electricity sold at the generation component tariff,
as published by the Israeli Electricity Authority, with some discount. Accordingly, changes in these tariff generally affect the prices paid by customers under Power Purchase Agreements. The weighted-average generation component tariff in
2025 was NIS 0.2939 per KW hour, which is approximately 2% lower than NIS 0.3010 per KW hour in 2024. OPC’s revenue from the sale of electricity to private customers decreased by $2 million in 2025 as compared to 2024. Excluding the
impact of translating OPC’s revenue from NIS to USD, such revenue decreased by approximately $28 million primarily due to $20 million decrease in customer consumption as a result of geopolitical situation and military actions, and a
decrease of $14 million as a result of a decrease in the generation component tariff in 2025;
|
| • |
Revenue
in respect of capacity payments in Israel – Decreased by $5 million in 2025 as compared to 2024. Excluding the impact of translating OPC’s revenue from NIS to USD, such revenue decreased by $8 million primarily as a result of
decline in availability of the Zomet power plant in 2025; and
|
| • |
Other revenue in Israel – Decreased by $6 million in 2025 as compared to 2024 primarily as a result of deconsolidation of Gnrgy Ltd. in Q2 2024.
|
| • |
Revenue from sale of electricity (retail) activities in the U.S. – Increased by $97 million in 2025 as compared to 2024 primarily as a result of increase in scope of services;
|
| • |
Revenue from provision of services and other revenue in U.S. – Increased by $27 million in 2025 as compared to 2024, primarily as a result of the change in accounting treatment from
consolidation to equity method accounting of CPV Renewables from November 2024 and recognition of revenue from the provision of asset management services, which was previously eliminated in the consolidation; and
|
| • |
Revenue from sale of electricity from renewable energy in the U.S. – Decreased by $53 million in 2025 as compared to 2024, primarily as a result
