Genie Energy Announces Select, Preliminary, Unaudited, Interim Financial Results
Newark, NJ, March 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Genie Energy, Ltd. (NYSE: GNE), a leading retail energy and renewable energy solutions provider, today provided an update on its fourth quarter and full year 2025, including select unaudited, preliminary financial results, as well as financial guidance for 2026.
As disclosed on the 8-K filed on March 12, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, in consultation with the Company’s management and independent registered public accounting firm, has concluded that the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 as well as the interim quarterly reports for 2024 and 2025 should not be relied upon and require restatement because of errors related to accounting for the liability associated with the Company’s captive insurance subsidiary.
“We are working closely with the independent Audit Committee and our auditors to prepare restated financial results for 2023 and 2024, as well as 2024 and 2025 quarterly results, and to provide audited 2025 financial results,” said Michael Stein, Genie’s Chief Executive Officer. “As we noted in our SEC filing on Thursday, we estimate that the restated financial statements will significantly increase our 2023 and 2024 income from operations, provision for income taxes, and net income.”

2026 Financial Outlook
For the full year 2026, Genie management is projecting consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $40 to $50 million.
Commentary from Michael Stein, Chief Executive Officer
"Genie continued to generate strong cash flows in 2025, funding increased investment in promising growth initiatives at both GRE and GREW while further strengthening our balance sheet and returning value to our stockholders though share repurchases and our quarterly dividend. Adjusted EBITDA in 2025 came in below our guidance due to both challenging energy market conditions early in the year, write-downs of solar assets at Genie Solar in the fourth quarter following enactment of the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ and increased acquisition expense selling non-energy services.
“Our retail business has experienced a challenging operating environment so far this year with volatility impacting energy markets. However, we maintain a positive outlook and solid 2026 guidance based on our expectations that Genie Retail Energy’s margins will normalize as we move further into the year and that our Genie Renewables segment will increase its contribution to our bottom line even as we invest in early-stage growth initiatives.”
