GNE Genie Energy Ltd

Genie Energy, Ltd. (NYSE: GNE), a leading retail energy and renewable energy solutions provider, today announced results for the third quarter of 2024. 

Michael Stein, chief executive officer of Genie Energy, commented: 

"Our third quarter featured strong operational and financial results consistent with our performance in recent quarters. We are on track to deliver the high end of our full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $40 to $50 million. 

"At GRE, our retail energy business, we added 36,000 net new meters during the quarter driven by organic sales activity and a large aggregation deal. Electricity and gas margins remained robust, while slightly milder summer weather contributed to a reduction in per-meter electricity consumption. The decrease in per-meter consumption in combination with increased sales costs drove comparative, year-over-year decreases in revenue and profitability. Looking ahead, we have begun the process of entering the California gas market as we continue to diversify our geographic footprint, and see generally favorable meter acquisition and operating environments across our retail markets.

"We have been strategically repositioning GREW, our renewables business, for stronger top line growth and improved operating margins. That effort began to pay off this quarter. Diversegy, our energy advisory and brokerage business, nearly doubled revenue year over year and turned Adjusted EBITDA1 positive.

“At Genie Solar, we are tightening our focus on the utility scale solar generation market and moving away from commercial and industrial generation projects. This shift enabled us to lock in strong gross profits, which increased exponentially compared to the year ago quarter, while significantly reducing SG&A expense. We also further expanded Genie Solar’s development pipeline, gaining site control for an additional six projects while moving another to the permitting stage. All in, GREW delivered outstanding third quarter results."

Segment Highlights

Genie Retail Energy (GRE)

GRE's third quarter revenue decreased 12.1% to $105.8 million from $120.3 million last year. Income from operations decreased 31.6% to $15.0 million from $22.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 30.7% to $15.5 million from $22.3 million. The decreases reflected a lower level of per meter electricity consumption, driven by milder weather compared to 3Q23, and an increase in customer acquisition activity and expense, partially offset by a slight increase in revenue per kWh sold.

Genie Renewables (GREW)

GREW's third quarter revenue increased 29.2% to $6.1 million from $4.7 million last year, driven by results from Diversegy, which nearly doubled its revenue compared to 3Q23, completion of various Genie Solar commercial and industrial solar generation projects for third parties, and by revenue from the operational solar arrays that Genie Solar acquired late last year.

GREW's loss from operations decreased to $0.2 million from $2.1 million in 3Q23, and Adjusted EBITDA loss decreased to $24 thousand from $2.0 million.

At September 30, 2024, Genie Solar's operating portfolio and development pipeline comprised:

Pipeline		Total		Operational		Site Control		Permitting		Construction
MW		106		10		72		15		10
Project count		20		1		14		3		2

During the quarter, portfolio and pipeline net additions totaled 21 MW and 6 projects.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the Third 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.
