Adjusted EBITDA financial
"We are maintaining our full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $32.5 to $40 million."
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
residential customer equivalent financial
"RCE (residential customer equivalent) is a measure of annual residential commodity consumption..."
churn financial
"Churn *** was 5.9% in 2Q26 versus 4.8% in 2Q25, excluding aggregation deal expirations."
Churn is the rate at which customers or subscribers stop using a company’s product or service over a given period; it can be measured by number of customers lost or by lost revenue. Investors care because high churn is like a leaky bucket — the company must add more new customers or spend more on marketing to keep sales and profits from falling, which can slow growth and reduce long-term value.
community solar projects technical
"Genie Solar’s results benefitted from the opening of its first of two community solar projects in New York state."
Non-GAAP financial measure financial
"Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used alongside GAAP metrics."
A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.

Management Commentary - Michael Stein, Chief Executive Officer

 

Genie delivered strong bottom line results in the second quarter.

 

At Genie Retail Energy, relatively normalized wholesale energy market conditions enabled us to achieve a gross margin comparable to our long-term historical average, and that drove a significant year-over-year improvement in our bottom-line results even as we increased our customer acquisition spend.  Compared to the prior year quarter, customer acquisitions in 2Q26 skewed toward high value customers, which we expect to favorably impact results in the coming quarters.  Customer acquisitions also continue to diversify our customer base, with notable growth in the Texas power and California gas markets.

 

At GREW, the topline was flat year-over-year.  However, the segment generated positive EBITDA powered by contributions from our Diversegy energy brokerage and Genie Solar businesses.  Diversegy had a particularly strong quarter of cash generation while executing on its growth strategy.  GREW’s results also reflected our ongoing investment in Roded, our plastic recycling and manufacturing business, and several other early-stage growth initiatives.

 

Both Diversegy and Genie Solar are on track to expand their bottom lines in the coming quarters.  Diversegy continues to build its book of business and Genie Solar will benefit from its second community solar project which came online late in the second quarter. 

 

For the balance of the year, we are working to boost cash generation across GRE, Diversegy and Genie Solar, make good operational progress in our growth initiatives, and return value to shareholders through opportunistic stock repurchases and our quarterly dividends. We are maintaining our full year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $32.5 to $40 million.

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

Segment Highlights

 

Genie Retail Energy (GRE)

The year-over-year increases in GRE's income from operations and Adjusted EBITDA were driven by gross margin expansion.  The increase in SG&A expense primarily reflected higher customer acquisition spending resulting from a shift in the sales mix to certain high value customer segments with higher costs of acquisition. The year over year decreases in RCE's and meters largely reflects the expiration of low margin aggregation deals.

Genie Renewables (GREW) 

 

GREW achieved positive Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q26 as Diversegy and Genie Solar's margins strengthened.  Genie Solar's year-over-year results benefitted from the opening of its first of two community solar projects in New York state during 4Q25. (The second project began operations late in 2Q26, and had a small impact on the quarter's results.)  GREW results also reflect Genie's investments in early-stage growth initiatives.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for 2Q26 

 

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 discloses Adjusted EBITDA for GRE and on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

 

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 loss of equity method investees, net.

 

Management believes that Genie’s measure of Adjusted EBITDA provides 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, among other measures, as relevant indicators of core operational strengths in its financial and operational decision-making.

 

Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance in relation to Genie’s competitors. Disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA 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 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. 

 

Adjusted EBITDA 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 may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

 

 

 

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. 

 

Following are the reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis and for GRE to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, income from operations.
