Genie Energy, Ltd. (NYSE: GNE), a leading retail energy and
renewable energy solutions provider, today announced results for
the second quarter of 2024.
Michael Stein, chief executive officer of Genie
Energy, commented:
"Our solid second quarter results reflect the
investments in meter and RCE growth we made in the first half of
last year, combined with a stable, normalized retail energy
environment. We also delivered a solid performance at Genie
Renewables, where Diversegy and our operational solar farms helped
drive 7% revenue growth and over 700 basis points of gross margin
expansion.
"Our strong performance over the first half of
2024 puts us on track to achieve our full year guidance of $40 to
$50 million in consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. In the second quarter,
we also improved our ability to fund growth and capital return
initiatives by increasing our net cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities by nearly $16 million, even while in
investing in our business, paying out our quarterly dividend and
repurchasing $2.6 million of our common stock."

Segment Highlights
Genie Retail Energy (GRE)
GRE's second quarter revenue decreased 3.4%
to $86.7 million from $89.7 million last year. Income from
operations decreased 20.7% to $14.6 million from $18.4 million, and
Adjusted EBITDA decreased 20.7% to $14.9 million from $18.8 million
driven by a reduction in gross margins on electricity sales from
the exceptionally high levels attained in the year ago
quarter. Aggregate electricity units sold remained relatively
consistent versus last year, as an increase in consumption per
meter substantially offset a decrease in electricity meters
served.

2024 Commentary
Stein continued: “Our solid performance in the
first half of 2024 puts us on track to achieve our new,
consolidated Adjusted EBITDA baseline of $40 - $50 million
annually, representing a meaningful increase from the $25 - $30
million range we were targeting just a few years ago.
"In our solar portfolio, we expect to continue
to build out our two New York community solar projects for the rest
of the year. We have also advanced two projects, comprising 10MW of
potential production, to the permitting stage and are identifying
new opportunities to expand our pipeline. Also within GREW, we
expect that Diversegy will report another year of strong
double-digit growth."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the
Second Quarter of 2024
In addition to disclosing financial results that
are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America (GAAP), Genie Energy
disclosed Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and for GRE and
disclosed Non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to Genie Energy Ltd.
Common Stockholders (Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP earnings per
share (Non-GAAP EPS). Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and
Non-GAAP EPS are non-GAAP financial measures.
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a
numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position,
or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not
normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Genie’s measure of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA
starts with income from operations and adds back depreciation,
amortization, and stock-based compensation and
deducts impairment of assets and equity in the net loss of
equity method investees, net.
Genie's measure of Non-GAAP Net Income starts
with net income attributable to Genie Energy Ltd. Common
Stockholders in accordance with GAAP and adds captive insurance
liability and the tax effect of this adjustment. These
additions are non-cash and/or non-routine items in the relevant
periods.
Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and
Non-GAAP EPS should be considered in addition to, not as a
substitute for, or superior to, revenue, gross profit, income from
operations, cash flow from operating activities, net income, basic
and diluted earnings per share or other measures of liquidity and
financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In
addition, Genie’s measurement of Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net
Income and Non-GAAP EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures reported by other companies.
Management believes that Genie’s measure of
Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS provide
useful information to both management and investors by excluding
certain expenses that may not be indicative of Genie’s or GRE’s
core operating results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP
Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS, among other measures, as relevant
indicators of core operational strengths in its financial and
operational decision-making.
Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP
Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS to evaluate operating performance in
relation to Genie’s competitors. Disclosure of these non-GAAP
financial measures may be useful to investors in evaluating
performance and allows for greater transparency to the underlying
supplemental information used by management in its financial and
operational decision-making. In addition, Genie Energy has
historically reported Adjusted EBITDA and believes it is commonly
used by readers of financial information in assessing performance.
Therefore, the inclusion of comparative numbers provides
consistency in financial reporting at this time.
Management refers to Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP
Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS as well as the GAAP measures revenue,
gross profit, and income from operations, as well as net income, on
a consolidated level to facilitate internal and external
comparisons to Genie's historical operating results, in making
operating decisions, for budget and planning purposes, and to form
the basis upon which management is compensated.
Although depreciation and amortization are
considered operating costs under GAAP, they primarily represent the
non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with
long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. Genie’s
operating results exclusive of depreciation and amortization are
therefore useful indicators of its current performance.
Stock-based compensation recognized by Genie
Energy and other companies may not be comparable because of the
various valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the
variety of types of awards that are permitted under GAAP.
Stock-based compensation is excluded from Genie’s calculation of
Adjusted EBITDA because management believes this allows investors
to make more meaningful comparisons of the operating results of
Genie’s core business with the results of other companies. However,
stock-based compensation will continue to be a significant expense
for Genie Energy for the foreseeable future and an important part
of employees’ compensation that impacts their
performance.
Impairment of assets is a component of income
(loss) from operations that is excluded from the calculation of
Adjusted EBITDA. The impairment of assets is primarily dictated by
events and circumstances outside the control of management that
trigger an impairment analysis. While there may be similar charges
in other periods, the nature and magnitude of these charges can
fluctuate markedly and do not reflect the performance of Genie's
continuing operations.
Captive insurance liability is
a non-cash charge incurred by Genie's insurance
operations. While there may be related charges in other
periods, the magnitude of these changes can fluctuate markedly and
do not reflect the performance of Genie's continuing operations.
Captive insurance losses are excluded from Genie's calculation
of Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP
EPS because management believes this allows investors to make
more meaningful comparisons of the operating results of Genie’s
core business with the results of other companies.
Following are the reconciliations of Adjusted
EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP EPS on a consolidated
basis to its most directly comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA
is reconciled to income from operations for Genie Energy on a
consolidated basis as well as for GRE.
