In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. The balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The Company owns 100% of Genie Retail Energy (“GRE”) and varied interests in entities that comprise the Genie Renewables segment.

GRE owns and operates retail energy providers (“REPs”), including IDT Energy (“IDT Energy”), Residents Energy (“Residents Energy”), Town Square Energy and Town Square Energy East (collectively, "TSE"), Southern Federal Power ("Southern Federal") and Mirabito Natural Gas (“Mirabito”). The majority of GRE's REP customers are located in the Eastern and Midwestern United States and Texas. Mirabito supplies natural gas to commercial customers in Florida.

Genie Renewables consists of a 95.5% interest in Genie Solar, an integrated solar energy company, a 92.8% interest in CityCom Solar, a marketer of community solar and other sales solutions and a 91.5% interest in Diversegy, an energy broker.

In addition to being a solar energy developer and operator, Genie Solar owns a 60.0% interest in Prism Solar Technology ("Prism") which designs and manufactures specialized solar panels.

Impairment of Assets

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company discontinued several projects of Genie Solar as a result of lack of viability. The Company recognized an impairment of assets of $0.1 million related to costs previously capitalized in the property and equipment accounts in the consolidated balance sheets.

One-Time Tax Credit

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company received $3.1 million

in respect of a one-time tax credit related to payroll taxes incurred in prior years, which the Company recognized as a gain included in other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Discontinued Operations in Finland and Sweden

Prior to the third quarter of 2022, the Company had a third segment, Genie Retail Energy International, or GRE International, which supplied electricity to residential and small business customers in Scandinavia. However, as a result of volatility in the energy market in Europe,

in the third quarter of 2022,

the Company decided to discontinue the operations of Lumo Energia Oyj ("Lumo Finland") and Lumo Energi AB ("Lumo Sweden").

The Company determined that the discontinuation of the operations of Lumo Finland and Lumo Sweden represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial statements. The Company accounts for these businesses as discontinued operations, and accordingly, presents the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations. The results of operations and related cash flows are presented as discontinued operations for all periods. Any remaining assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are presented separately and reflected within assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Lumo Sweden are continuing to liquidate their remaining receivables and settle any remaining liabilities.

In November 2022, Lumo Finland declared bankruptcy and the administration of Lumo Finland was transferred to an administrator (the "Lumo Administrators"). All assets and liabilities of Lumo Finland remain with Lumo Finland, in which Genie retains its equity ownership interest, however, the management and control of Lumo Finland were transferred to the Lumo Administrators. Since the Company lost control of the management of Lumo Finland in favor of the Lumo Administrators, the accounts of Lumo Finland were deconsolidated effective November 9, 2022.

Following the discontinuance of operations of Lumo Finland and Lumo Sweden, GRE International ceased to be a segment and the remaining assets and liabilities and results of continuing operations of GRE International were combined with corporate.

Discontinued Operations in the United Kingdom

In October 2021, as part of the orderly exit process from the U. K. market, Orbit Energy Limited ("Orbit"), a REP owed by the Company that used to operate in United Kingdom, and Shell U.K. Limited ("Shell") agreed to terminate the exclusive supply contract between them. As part of the termination agreement, Orbit was required to unwind all physical forward hedges with Shell which resulted in net cash proceeds after settlement of all related liabilities with Shell.

The Company determined that the discontinued operations of Orbit represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial statements. Since the appointment of the Orbit Administrators, the Company has accounted for these businesses as discontinued operations and accordingly, has presented the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations. Since the Company lost control of the management of Orbit in favor of the Orbit Administrators, the accounts of Orbit were deconsolidated effective December 1, 2021.

On November 21, 2023, the Court issued an order to cease the administration and revert the control of Orbit from the Orbit Administrators to the Company effective November 28, 2023. Following the Company regaining control of the management of Orbit, the accounts of Orbit are consolidated effective November 28, 2023.

Seasonality and Weather; Climate Change and Volatility in Pricing

The weather and the seasons, among other things, affect GRE’s revenues. Weather conditions have a significant impact on the demand for natural gas used for heating and electricity used for heating and cooling. Typically, colder winters increase demand for natural gas and electricity, and hotter summers increase demand for electricity. Milder winters or summers have the opposite effect. Unseasonable temperatures in other periods may also impact demand levels. Natural gas revenues typically increase in the first quarter due to increased heating demands and electricity revenues typically increase in the third quarter due to increased air conditioning use. Approximately 48.1% and 39.7% of GRE’s natural gas revenues for the relevant years were generated in the first quarters 2023 and 2022, respectively, when demand for heating was highest. Although the demand for electricity is not as seasonal as natural gas (due, in part, to usage of electricity for both heating and cooling), approximately 32.5% and 30.5% of GRE’s electricity revenues were generated in the third quarters of

2023

and

2022

, respectively. GRE’s REPs’ revenues and operating income are subject to material seasonal variations, and the interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the estimated financial results for the full year.

In addition to the direct physical impact that climate change may have on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations because of the effect on pricing, demand for our offerings and/or the energy supply markets, we may also be adversely impacted by other environmental factors, including: (i) technological advances designed to promote energy efficiency and limit environmental impact; (ii) increased competition from alternative energy sources; (iii) regulatory responses aimed at decreasing greenhouse gas emissions; and (iv) litigation or regulatory actions that address the environmental impact of our energy products and services.

Restricted cash—long-term consists of cash of a wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary (the "Captive"), which is restricted for use to secure the noncurrent portion of the insured liability program (see Note 19).

Included in the cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is cash received from Lumo Sweden (see Note 5).

Note 3—Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following:

		December 31,<br><br><br>2023

Natural gas	737	$	1,309
Renewable credits	4,827		12,105
Solar panels, net of a valuation allowance of nil million and 0.8 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively	73		1,184
Totals	5,637	$	14,598

All values are in US Dollars.

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an inventory valuation allowance of $0.4 million to the cost of revenues to write down the carrying value of solar panel inventories to the estimated net realizable value. There is no inventory valuation allowance recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The solar panel inventories are transferred to ongoing solar projects of Genie Solar together with the inventory valuation allowance in the prepaid assets and property and equipment accounts in the balance sheet.

Note 4—Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the single performance obligation to deliver a unit of electricity and/or natural gas is recognized as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit. Variable quantities in requirements contracts are considered to be options for additional goods and services because the customer has a current contractual right to choose the amount of additional distinct goods to purchase. GRE records unbilled revenues for the estimated amount customers will be billed for services rendered from the time meters were last read to the end of the respective accounting period. The unbilled revenue is estimated each month based on available per day usage data, the number of unbilled days in the period and historical trends.

9

Incumbent utility companies in most of the service territories in which GRE's REPs operate offer purchase of receivables, or POR, and GRE’s REPs participate in POR programs for a majority of their receivables. The Company estimates variable consideration related to its rebate programs using the expected value method and a portfolio approach. The Company’s estimates related to rebate programs are based on the terms of the rebate program, the customer’s historical electricity and natural gas consumption, the customer’s rate plan, and a churn factor. Taxes that are imposed on the Company’s sales and collected from customers are excluded from the transaction price.

Revenue from sales of solar panels are recognized at a point in time following the transfer of control of the solar panels to the customer, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the underlying contracts. For sales contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, such as the shipment or delivery of solar modules, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices, or estimates of such prices, and recognize the related revenue as control of each individual product is transferred to the customer, in satisfaction of the corresponding performance obligations. Revenues from sales of solar panels are included in other revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

Genie Solar enters into contracts to identify, develop, and in some cases operate solar generation sites to provide solar electricity to its customers. Obligations under solar project contracts consist of a series of tasks and components and accordingly are accounted for as multiple performance obligations. Because the Company’s performance creates and enhances assets that are controlled by and specific to customers, the Company recognizes construction services revenue over time. Revenue for these performance obligations is recognized using the input method based on the cost incurred as a percentage of total estimated contract costs. Due to the significance of the costs associated with solar panels to the total project, our judgment on when such costs should be included in the measure of progress has a material impact on revenue recognition. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs related to contract performance. Revenues from sales of solar panels and solar panel projects are included under the Other Revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

Energy generation revenue is earned from both the sale of electricity generated from operating solar projects and the sale of Solar Energy Credits ("SRECs") which are included in the Other Revenues in the consolidated statement of operations.

Revenue from energy generation is recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation, which occurs at the time of the delivery of electricity at the contractual rates.

The Company applies for and receives SRECs in certain jurisdictions for power generated by solar energy systems it owns. There are no direct costs allocated to SRECs upon generation. The Company typically sells SRECs to different customers from those purchasing the energy. The sale of each SREC is a distinct performance obligation satisfied at a point in time and that the performance obligation related to each SREC is satisfied when each SREC is delivered to the customer.

Revenues from commissions from selling third-party products to customers, entry and other fees from the energy brokerage are recognized at the time the performance obligation is met. The Company's contacts with customers for commission revenue contain a single performance obligation and are satisfied at a point in time.

The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer as an asset if it expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company determined that certain sales commissions to acquire customers meet the requirements to be capitalized. For GRE, the Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for sales commissions to acquire customers as the period would have been one year or less.

Contract liabilities

Certain revenue generating contracts at Renewables include provisions that require advance payment from customers. These advance payments are recognized as revenue as the Company satisfies the performance obligations to the other party. A portion of the transaction price allocated to the performance obligations to be satisfied in future periods is recognized as a contract liability. Contract liabilities are included in other current liabilities account in the consolidated balance sheet.

Note 5—Acquisitions and Discontinued Operations

Consolidation of Roded

In December 2022, the Company, entered into an investment agreement with Roded Recycling Industries Ltd. ("Roded") and its current owners to acquire a 45.0% noncontrolling interest in Roded for New Israel Shekel ("NIS")5.0 million (equivalent to $1.5 million at the date of the transaction). Roded is engaged in developing a process to recycle used plastic materials into usable industrial products. The Company accounts for its ownership interest in Roded using the equity method.

From December 2022 to April 2024, the Company contributed an aggregate of $0.4 million gradually increasing its interest in Roded to a 51.2% controlling interest on April 12, 2024. Prior to April 12, 2024, the net book value of the Company's investment in Roded was $1.3 million. Following the transaction, the Company has control over the activities of Roded.

The Company recorded a minimal revenue for Roded in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The net income or loss attributable to this acquisition cannot be identified on a stand-alone basis because it is in the process of being integrated into the Company's operations.

The Company conducted a preliminary assessment of assets and liabilities related to the acquisition of Roded. The impact of the acquisition's purchase price allocations on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and the acquisition date fair value of the total consideration transferred were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Cash and other current liabilities	$	200
Property, plant and equipment (1 to 10-year useful life)		573
Goodwill		2,660
Liabilities		(850	)
Noncontrolling interest		(1,243	)
Net assets	$	1,340

Goodwill was allocated to the Renewables segment. Goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected revenue and cost synergies of the combined company and assembled workforce. Goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.

Acquisition of Solar System Facilities

On November 3, 2023, the Company acquired ten special-purpose entities that own and operate solar system facilities in Ohio and Michigan. The Company paid a total of $7.5 million, including $1.0 million held in escrow which was released in June 2024.

The acquisition has been accounted for as asset acquisition and the Company recorded $7.7 million in total purchase price, including $0.2 million of direct transaction costs allocated to solar array assets included in the property and equipment account in the consolidated balance sheet with estimated useful lives of 14 to 30 years.

On November 3, 2023, the Company also signed an agreement to purchase from the sellers another special purpose entity that owned and operated a solar system facility in Indiana, for $1.3 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. In February 2024, the purchase of the solar system facility in Indiana was completed. The acquisition has been accounted for as asset acquisition and the Company recorded $1.3 million to solar array assets included in the property and equipment account in the consolidated balance sheet with estimated useful lives of 30 years.

The acquired assets are allocated to the Renewables segment.

Lumo Finland and Lumo Sweden Operations

As a result of the sustained volatility of the energy market in Europe, in the third quarter of 2022, the Company decided to discontinue the operations of Lumo Finland and Lumo Sweden. From July 13, 2022 to July 19, 2022, the Company entered into a series of transactions to sell most of the electricity swap instruments held by Lumo Sweden. The sale price has been fixed and is expected to continue to be settled monthly based on the monthly commodity volume specified in the instruments from September 2022 to March 2025.

The Company determined that the discontinuation of operations of Lumo Finland and Lumo Sweden represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial statements and accordingly, the results of operations and related cash flows are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are presented separately and reflected within assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Lumo Sweden is continuing to liquidate its remaining receivables and to settle any remaining liabilities.

In November 2022, Lumo Finland declared bankruptcy and the administration of Lumo Finland was transferred to the Lumo Administrators. All assets and liabilities of Lumo Finland remain with Lumo Finland, in which Genie retains its equity ownership interest, however, the management and control of Lumo Finland were transferred to the Lumo Administrators. Since the Company lost control of the management of Lumo Finland in favor of the Lumo Administrators, the accounts of Lumo Finland were deconsolidated effective November 9, 2022.

The following table represents summarized balance sheet information of assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations of Lumo Sweden:

Prior to being treated as discontinued operations or being deconsolidated, the assets and liabilities of Lumo Finland and Lumo Sweden were included in GRE International segment.

On November 8, 2023, the Lumo Administrators, acting on behalf of the Bankruptcy Estate, filed a claim in the District Court of Helsinki against Genie Nordic, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the parent company of Lumo Finland, its directors, officers and affiliates, in which it alleges that the gain from the sale of swap instruments owned by Lumo Sweden amounting to €35.2 million (equivalent to $37.8 million as of June 30, 2024) belongs to the Bankruptcy Estate. The Bankruptcy Estate filed an additional claim with the District Court on May 27, 2024 against Lumo Sweden for €4.8 million (equivalent to $5.2 million as of June 30, 2024), also alleging that the gain from the sale of the swap instruments belongs to the Bankruptcy Estate, bringing the aggregate sum of claims related to the gain from sale of swap instruments to €40.0 million (equivalent to $43.0 million as of June 30, 2024). The Company believes that the Lumo Administrators' position is without merit, and it intends to vigorously defend its position.

Genie was also notified that the Lumo Administrators filed a claim against one of Lumo Finland’s suppliers, seeking to recover payments made by Lumo Finland amounting to €4.2 million (equivalent to $4.5 million as of June 30, 2024) prior to the bankruptcy. Related to such payment, the Lumo Administrators have filed a recovery claim jointly against the Company and the supplier for €1.6 million (equivalent to $1.7 million as of June 30, 2024) alleging that a portion of the payment by Lumo Finland effectively reduced the Company's liability under the terms of a previously supplied parental guarantee (this €1.6 million is included within and not additive to the €4.2 million). The Lumo Administrators allege that the payments represented preferential payments and therefore belong to the bankruptcy estate which are recoverable under the laws of Finland. The Company intends to challenge the Lumo Administrators' claims. Should the Lumo Administrators succeed in clawing back the funds from the supplier, it is possible that the supplier may seek to recover its losses against the Company, under terms of the parental guarantee. At this time, there is insufficient basis to assess an amount of any probable loss.

U.K. Operations

In the third quarter of 2021, the natural gas and energy market in the United Kingdom deteriorated which prompted the Company to start the process of orderly withdrawal from the United Kingdom. In October 2021, as part of the orderly exit process, Orbit and Shell agreed to terminate the exclusive supply contract between them. As part of the termination agreement, Orbit was required to unwind all physical forward hedges with Shell which resulted in net cash proceeds after settlement of all related liabilities with Shell.

Following the termination of the contract with Shell, Orbit filed a petition with the High Court of Justice Business and Property of England and Wales (the “Court”) to declare Orbit insolvent based on the Insolvency Act of 1986. On November 29, 2021, the Court declared Orbit insolvent, revoked Orbit's license to supply electricity and natural gas in the United Kingdom, ordered the current customers to be transferred to “supplier of last resort” and transfer the administration of Orbit to Orbit Administrators effective December 1, 2021, which transfer was effective December 1, 2021. All assets and liabilities of Orbit, including cash and receivables remained with Orbit and the management and control of which was transferred to Orbit Administrators. As a result of loss of control, the Company deconsolidated Orbit effective December 1, 2021 and estimated the remaining liability related to its ownership of Orbit.

2023

, the Orbit Administrators paid the Company a return of its interest in Orbit of £18.8 million (equivalent to $23.7 million on the dates of transfer).

There was no income or loss from discontinued operations recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized income from discontinued operation, net of taxes of $2.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively, mainly from the increases in the estimated value of our investments in Orbit due to a change in estimated net assets of Orbit after the expected settlement of the liabilities by the Orbit Administrators.

Prior to being treated as discontinued operations and deconsolidation, the assets and liabilities of Orbit were included in the Company's former GRE International segment.

The Company’s derivative contracts consist of natural gas and electricity put and call options and swaps. The underlying asset in the Company’s put and call options is a forward contract. The Company’s swaps are agreements whereby a floating (or market or spot) price is exchanged for a fixed price over a specified period.

The Company did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the three months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments was determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting this data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.

Restricted cash—short-term, trade receivables, due to IDT Corporation, other current assets and other current liabilities. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximated fair value. The fair value estimate for restricted cash—short-term was classified as Level 1. The carrying value of other current assets, due to IDT Corporation, and other current liabilities approximated fair value.

Other assets. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, other assets included notes receivable. At June 30, 2024, the carrying amount of the notes receivable approximated fair value. The fair values were estimated based on the Company’s assumptions, and were classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The primary non-recurring fair value estimates typically are in the context of goodwill impairment testing, which involves Level 3 inputs, and asset impairments (Note 10) which utilize Level 3 inputs.

Concentration of Credit Risks

The Company holds cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash at several major financial institutions, which may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses due to such concentration of credit risk. The Company’s temporary cash investments policy is to limit the dollar amount of investments with any one financial institution and monitor the credit ratings of those institutions. While the Company may be exposed to credit losses due to the nonperformance of the holders of its deposits, the Company does not expect the settlement of these transactions to have a material effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Note 7—Derivative Instruments

The primary risk managed by the Company using derivative instruments is commodity price risk, which is accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 815 — Derivatives and Hedging. Natural gas and electricity put and call options and swaps are entered into as hedges against unfavorable fluctuations in market prices of natural gas and electricity. The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these options or swaps, therefore the changes in fair value are recorded in earnings. By using derivative instruments to mitigate exposures to changes in commodity prices, the Company exposes itself to credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes the Company, which creates credit risk. The Company minimizes the credit or repayment risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. At June 30, 2024, GRE’s swaps and options were traded on the Intercontinental Exchange.

The summarized volume of GRE’s outstanding contracts and options at June 30, 2024 was as follows (MWh – Megawatt hour and Dth – Decatherm):

Note 9—Investments

Investments in businesses that the Company does not control, but in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters, are accounted for using the equity method. The Company periodically evaluates its equity method investments for impairment due to declines considered to be other than temporary. If the Company determines that a decline in fair value is other than temporary, then a charge to earnings is recorded, and a new basis in the investment is established.

For equity securities without readily determinable fair values, the Company elected to measures the investments using net assets value, as a practical expedient. These investments are valued based on the most recent available information. In determining the value of the investment, the Company considers whether adjustments to the net asset values are necessary in certain circumstances in which management is aware of material events that affect the value of the investments during the intervening period. Changes in fair value are recognized in “gain (loss) on marketable equity securities and investments ” on our consolidated statements of operations.

For equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not report net asset value. These investments are accounted for using a measurement alternative under which they are measured at cost and adjusted for observable price changes and impairments. Observable price changes result from, among other things, equity transactions for the same issuer executed during the reporting period, including subsequent equity offerings or other reported equity transactions related to the same issuer.

Note 12—Leases

The Company is the lessee under operating lease agreements primarily for office space in domestic and foreign locations where it has operations and for solar development projects with lease periods expiring between

2024

and

2052. The Company has no finance leases.

The Company determines if a contract is a lease at inception. Right-of-Use ("ROU") assets are included under other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The current portion of the operating lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the incremental borrowing rate, because the interest rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date. ROU assets also include any prepaid lease payments and lease incentives. The lease terms include periods under options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The Company uses the base, non-cancelable, lease term when determining the lease assets and liabilities. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Stock-Based Compensation

On March 8, 2021, the Board of Directors adopted the Company's 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan"), subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders. In May 2021, the 2021 Plan became effective and replaced the Company's 2011 Stock Option and Incentive

Plan

. The 2021 Plan

provides incentives to executives, employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Incentives available under the 2021 Plan provide for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, limited stock appreciation rights, deferred stock units, and restricted stock. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The maximum number of shares reserved for the grant of awards under the 2021 Plan upon adoption was 1.0

million shares of Class B Common Stock. On May 10, 2023, the Company's stockholders approved

an amendment to the 2021 Plan that, among other things, increased the number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock available for the grant of awards thereunder by 0.5 million shares of Class B Common Stock.

In February 2022, the Company granted certain employees and members of its Board of Directors an aggregate of 290,000 deferred stock units which were eligible to vest in two tranches contingent upon the achievement of a specified thirty-day average closing price of the Company's Class B common stock within a specified period of time (the "2022 market conditions") and the satisfaction of service-based vesting conditions. Each deferred stock unit entitled the recipient to receive, upon vesting, up to two shares of Class B common stock of the Company depending on market conditions. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the grant-date fair value of the awards. Assumptions and estimates utilized in the model include the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, expected stock volatility based on a combination of the Company’s historical stock volatility. In the second quarter of 2022, the 2022 market conditions were partially achieved and the Company issued 290,000 shares of its restricted Class B common stock. In February 2023, the remaining portion of the

2022

market conditions was achieved and the Company issued an additional 290,000 restricted shares of its Class B common stock in May 2023. The restricted shares issued are subject to service-based vesting conditions as described above.

As of June 30, 2024

, there were approximately $0.4

million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation costs related to outstanding and unvested equity-based grants. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 0.9 years.

Note 14—Variable Interest Entity

Citizens Choice Energy, LLC (“CCE”) is a REP that resells electricity and natural gas to residential and small business customers in the State of New York. The Company does not own any interest in CCE. Since 2011, the Company has provided CCE with substantially all of the cash required to fund its operations. The Company determined that it has the power to direct the activities of CCE that most significantly impact its economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of CCE that could potentially be significant to CCE on a stand-alone basis. The Company therefore determined that it is the primary beneficiary of CCE, and as a result, the Company consolidates CCE within its GRE segment. The net income or loss incurred by CCE was attributed to noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Net loss related to CCE and aggregate net funding provided by the Company were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,

Note 15—Income Taxes

The following table provides a summary of Company's effective tax rate:

	2024		2023		2024		2023
Reported tax rate	26.7	%	24.1	%	26.3	%	25.2	%

The reported tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased compared to the same period in 2023. The decreases are mainly from the change in the mix of tax rates in the jurisdictions where the Company earned taxable income.

Note 16—Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased to include restricted stock still subject to risk of forfeiture and to assume exercise of potentially dilutive stock options using the treasury stock method, unless the effect of such increases is anti-dilutive.

The weighted-average number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders consists of the following:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
	(in thousands)				(in thousands)
Basic weighted-average number of shares		26,569		25,708		26,760		25,516
Effect of dilutive securities:
Non-vested restricted Class B common stock		464		555		512		508
Stock options and warrants		—		58		—		49
Diluted weighted-average number of shares		27,033		26,321	27,272		26,073

Unissued vested deferred stock units in three and six months ended June 30, 2023 pertain to the weighted average of restricted shares of the company's Class B common stock that the Company expected, at that time, to issue related to satisfaction of 2022 market conditions (see Note 13 — Equity) to the vesting of certain then outstanding deferred stock units.

There were no other instruments excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Note 18—Business Segment Information

The Company has two reportable business segments: GRE and Genie Renewables. GRE owns and operates REPs, including IDT Energy, Residents Energy, TSE, Southern Federal and Mirabito. Its REP businesses resell electricity and natural gas to residential and small business customers in the Eastern and Midwestern United States and Texas. Genie Renewables develops, constructs and operates solar energy projects, distributes solar panels, offers energy brokerage and advisory services and also sells third-party products to customers. Corporate costs include unallocated compensation, consulting fees, legal fees, business development expenses and other corporate-related general and administrative expenses. Corporate does not generate any revenues, nor does it incur any cost of revenues.

The Company’s reportable segments are distinguished by types of service, customers and methods used to provide their services. The operating results of these business segments are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as the accounting policies of the Company as a whole. The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based primarily on income (loss) from operations. There are no significant asymmetrical allocations to segments.

Operating results for the business segments of the Company were as follows:

Note 19 — Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

On September 29, 2023, the Attorney General of the State of Illinois filed a complaint against Residents Energy in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division. The Complaint alleges several counts of violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, 815 ILCS 505/1 et seq., and the Illinois Telephone Solicitations Act, 815 ILCS 413/1 et seq., in connection with Residents Energy’s marketing practices, and seeks monetary damages to redress any resulting losses alleged to have been incurred by customers, civil penalties for certain alleged violations in the amount of $50.0 thousand per violation, and other forms of injunctive and equitable relief to prevent future violations. The Company denies these allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself against any and all claims. As of March 31, 2024, there is insufficient basis to deem any loss probable or to assess the amount of any possible loss. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, Resident Energy’s gross revenues from sales in Illinois were $8.2 million and $20.7 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, Resident Energy’s gross revenues from sales in Illinois was $10.4 million and $24.0 million, respectively

The Company may from time to time be subject to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company does not expect any of those legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Refer to Note 5—Acquisitions and Discontinued Operations, for discussion related to the administration of Lumo Finland.

Agency and Regulatory Proceedings

From time to time, the Company receives inquiries or requests for information or materials from public utility commissions or other governmental regulatory or law enforcement agencies related to investigations under statutory or regulatory schemes, and the Company responds to those inquiries or requests. The Company cannot predict whether any of those matters will lead to claims or enforcement actions or whether the Company and the regulatory parties will enter into settlements before a formal claim is made.

Other Commitments

Purchase Commitments

The Company had future purchase commitments of $140.5 million at June 30, 2024, of which $126.3 million was for future purchase of electricity. The purchase commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2024 are expected to be paid as follows:

In the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company purchased $19.9 million and $8.1 million of electricity and renewable energy credits, respectively, under these purchase commitments. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company purchased $44.5 million and $9.9 million of electricity and renewable energy credits, respectively, under these purchase commitments. In the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased $15.2 million and $5.7 million of electricity and renewable energy credits, respectively, under these purchase commitments. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company purchased $24.3 million and $12.2 million of electricity and renewable energy credits, respectively, under these purchase commitments.

Renewable Energy Credits

GRE must obtain a certain percentage or amount of its power supply from renewable energy sources in order to meet the requirements of renewable portfolio standards in the states in which it operates. This requirement may be met by obtaining renewable energy credits that provide evidence that electricity has been generated by a qualifying renewable facility or resource. At June 30, 2024, GRE had commitments to purchase renewable energy credits of $14.2 million.

Captive Insurance Subsidiary

In December 2023, the Company established the Captive insurance company with the primary purpose of enhancing the Company's risk financing strategies. The Captive insures the Company against certain risks unique to the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in today's insurance marketplace. The covered risks are both current and related to historical business activities.

The Company, with input from external experts, estimated the expected ultimate cost of: 1) claims defense cost, settlements and penalties resulting from insured risk, and 2) stranded risk which includes economic losses due to regulatory restrictions or unanticipated reduction of demand, as well as the level cost associated with contesting such restrictions. The amount of the expected loss liability for each risk is based on an analysis performed by a third-party actuary which assumed historical patterns. The key assumptions used in developing these estimates are subject to variability.

In December 2023, the Company paid a $51.2 million premium to the Captive, which is, recognized as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2024, the balance of short-term and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents of the Captive are $5.1 million and $46.4 million, respectively. The Captive must maintain a sufficient level of cash to fund future reserve payments and secure the insurer's liabilities, particularly those related to insured risks. The Captive has restricted investments in equity securities included in other current assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 9). The Company also recognized a $0.6 million and $1.7 million provision for captive insurance liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, related to the Captive's exposure for the insured risks. At June 30, 2024, the current portion of the captive insurance liability of $0.4 million is included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Performance Bonds and Unused Letters of Credit

GRE has performance bonds issued through a third party for certain utility companies and for the benefit of various states in order to comply with the states’ financial requirements for REPs. At June 30, 2024, GRE had aggregate performance bonds of $21.4 million outstanding and minimal amount of unused letters of credit.

BP Energy Company Preferred Supplier Agreement

Certain of GRE’s REPs are party to an Amended and Restated Preferred Supplier Agreement with BP, which is to be in effect through November 30, 2026. Under the agreement, the REPs purchase electricity and natural gas at market rate plus a fee. The obligations to BP are secured by a first security interest in deposits or receivables from utilities in connection with their purchase of the REPs’ customer’s receivables, and in any cash deposits or letters of credit posted in connection with any collateral accounts with BP. The ability to purchase electricity and natural gas under this agreement is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including the maintenance of certain covenants. At June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. At June 30, 2024, restricted cash—short-term of $0.8 million and trade accounts receivable of $59.1 million were pledged to BP as collateral for the payment of trade accounts payable to BP of $20.1 million at June 30, 2024.

Note 20—Debt

On December 13, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). On February 14, 2024, the Company entered into the fourth amendment of the existing Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2024. The aggregate available borrowing amount was reduced to $3.0 million credit line facility (the “Credit Line”). The Company pays a commitment fee of 0.1% per annum on the unused portion of the Credit Line as specified in the Credit Agreement. The borrowed amounts will be in the form of letters of credit which will bear interest of 1.0% per annum. The Company will also pay a fee for each letter of credit that is issued equal to the greater of $500 or 1.0% of the original maximum available amount of the letter of credit. The Company agreed to deposit cash in a money market account at JPMorgan Chase Bank as collateral for the line of credit equal to $3.1 million. As of June 30, 2024, there are no letters of credit issued by JP Morgan Chase Bank. At June 30, 2024, the cash collateral of $4.5 million was included in restricted cash—short-term in the consolidated balance sheet.

Note 21—Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

(“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 will require public entities to disclose on an annual basis a tabular reconciliation using both percentages and amounts, broken out into specific categories with certain reconciling items at or above 5% of the statutory (i.e. expected) tax further broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction.

Overview

We are comprised of Genie Retail Energy ("GRE") and Genie Renewables.

GRE owns and operates retail energy providers ("REPs"), including IDT Energy, Residents Energy, Town Square Energy ("TSE"), Southern Federal and Mirabito Natural Gas. GRE's REPs' businesses resell electricity and natural gas primarily to residential and small business customers, with the majority of the customers in the Eastern and Midwestern United States and Texas.

Genie Renewables

holds our 95.5% interest in Genie Solar, an integrated solar energy company, our 92.8% interest in

CityCom

Solar, a marketer of community solar and other sales solutions and our 96.0% interest in

Diversegy, an energy broker.

In addition to being a solar developer and operator, Genie Solar holds our 60.0% interest in Prism Solar Technology ("Prism") which designs and manufactures specialized solar panels.

As part of our ongoing business development efforts, we seek out new opportunities, which may include complementary operations or businesses that reflect horizontal or vertical expansion from our current operations. Some of these potential opportunities are considered briefly and others are examined in further depth. In particular, we seek out acquisitions to expand the geographic scope and size of our REP businesses.

Discontinued Operations in Finland and Sweden

As a result of volatility in the energy market in Europe, in the third quarter of 2022, we decided to discontinue the operations of Lumo Energia Oyj ("Lumo Finland") and Lumo Energi AB ("Lumo Sweden"). In July 2022, the Company entered into a series of transactions to sell most of the

electricity swap instruments held by Lumo Sweden. The sale price is to be settled monthly based on the monthly commodity volume specified in the instruments from September 2022 to March 2025. The Company also entered into a series of transactions to transfer the customers of Lumo Finland and Lumo Sweden to other suppliers.

We determined that the discontinuance of operations of Lumo Finland and Lumo Sweden represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our operations and financial statements. We account for these businesses as discontinued operations and accordingly, present the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Any remaining assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are presented separately and are reflected within assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Lumo Sweden are continuing to liquidate its remaining receivables and to settle any remaining liabilities.

On November 7, 2022, Lumo Finland filed a petition for bankruptcy, which was approved by the Helsinki District Court on November 9, 2022. The administration of Lumo Finland was transferred to the Lumo Administrators. All assets and liabilities of Lumo Finland remain with Lumo Finland, in which we retain our equity ownership interest, however, the management and control of Lumo Finland were transferred to the Lumo Administrators. Since the Company lost control of the management of Lumo Finland in favor of the Lumo Administrators, the accounts of Lumo Finland were deconsolidated effective November 9, 2022.

Net loss from discontinued operations of Lumo Finland and Lumo Sweden, net of taxes was $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net loss from discontinued operations of Lumo Finland and Lumo

Sweden, net of taxes was $0.4

million and $0.8

million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

On November 8, 2023, the Lumo Administrators, acting on behalf of the Bankruptcy Estate, filed a claim in the District Court of Helsinki against Genie Nordic, its directors, officers and affiliates, in which it alleges that the gain from the sale of swap instruments owned by Lumo Sweden amounting to €35.2 million (equivalent to $37.8 million as of June 30, 2024) belongs to the Bankruptcy Estate. The Bankruptcy Estate filed an additional claim with the District Court on May 27, 2024 against Lumo Sweden for €

4.8

million (equivalent to $

5.2

million as of June 30, 2024), also alleging that the gain from the sale of the swap instruments belongs to the Bankruptcy Estate, bringing the aggregate sum of claims related to the gain from sale of swap instruments to €

40.0

million (equivalent to $

43.0

million as of June 30, 2024). The Company believes that the Lumo Administrators' position is without merit, and it intends to vigorously defend its position.

We are also notified that the Lumo Administrators filed a claim against one of Lumo Finland’s suppliers, seeking to recover payments made by Lumo Finland amounting to €4.2 million (equivalent to $4.5 million as of June 30, 2024) prior to the bankruptcy. Related to such payment, the Lumo Administrators have filed a recovery claim jointly against us and the supplier for €1.6 million (equivalent to $1.7 million as of June 30, 2024) alleging that a portion of the payment by Lumo Finland effectively reduced our liability under the terms of a previously supplied parental guarantee (this €

1.6 is included within and not additive to the

€

4.2

million). The Lumo Administrators allege that the payments represented preferential payments and therefore belong to the bankruptcy estate which are recoverable under the laws of Finland. We intend to challenge the Lumo Administrators' claims. Nevertheless, should the Lumo Administrators succeed in clawing back the funds from the supplier, it is possible that the supplier will seek to recover its losses against us, under terms of the parental guarantee. At this time there is insufficient basis to assess an amount of any probable loss.

Discontinued Operations in the United Kingdom

On November 29, 2021 Orbit Energy Limited ("Orbit"), which operated in United Kingdom was declared and its customers were transferred to a “supplier of last resort.” Effective December 1, 2021, the administration of Orbit was transferred to a third party Administrators (the "Orbit Administrators"). The accounts of Orbit were deconsolidated from those of the Company effective December 1, 2021.

We determined that the discontinued operations of Orbit represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our operations and the financial statements. Since the appointment of the Orbit Administrators, we accounted their businesses as discontinued operations and accordingly, have presented the results of operations and related cash flows as discontinued operations. Any remaining assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been presented separately, and are reflected within assets and liabilities from discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022. Since the Company lost control of the management of Orbit in favor of the Orbit Administrators, the accounts of Orbit were deconsolidated effective December 1, 2021.

34

On November 28, 2023, the administration of Orbit ceased and the control of Orbit reverted back to the Company from the Orbit Administrators. The accounts of Orbit were reconsolidated with those of the Company effective November 28, 2023.

There were no income or loss from discontinued operations recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized income from discontinued operation, net of taxes of $

2.6. and $5.4

million, respectively, mainly from the increase in the estimated value of our investments in Orbit due to a change in estimated net assets of Orbit after the Orbit Administrators settle the liabilities.

Genie Retail Energy

GRE operates REPs that resell electricity and/or natural gas to residential and small business customers in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Rhode Island, and Washington, D.C. GRE’s revenues represented approximately 95.6% and 94.7% of our consolidated revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively and 96.0% and 96.2% of our consolidated revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Seasonality and Weather; Climate Change and Volatility in Pricing

The weather and the seasons, among other things, affect GRE’s REPs' revenues. Weather conditions have a significant impact on the demand for natural gas used for heating and electricity used for heating and cooling. Typically, colder winters increase demand for natural gas and electricity, and hotter summers increase demand for electricity. Milder winters and/or summers have the opposite effects. Unseasonable temperatures in other periods may also impact demand levels. Potential changes in global climate may produce, among other possible conditions, unusual variations in temperature and weather patterns, resulting in unusual weather conditions, more intense, frequent and extreme weather events and other natural disasters. Some climatologists believe that these extreme weather events will become more common and more extreme, which will have a greater impact on our operations. Natural gas revenues typically increase in the first quarter due to increased heating demands and electricity revenues typically increase in the third quarter due to increased air conditioning use. Approximately 48.1% and 39.7% of GRE’s natural gas revenues for the relevant years were generated in the first quarter of 2023 and 2022 respectively, when demand for heating was highest. Although the demand for electricity is not as seasonal as natural gas (due, in part, to usage of electricity for both heating and cooling), approximately 32.5% and 30.5% of GRE’s electricity revenues for 2023 and 2022 respectively, were generated in the third quarters of those years. GRE's REP's revenues and operating income are subject to material seasonal variations, and the interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the estimated financial results for the full year.

In addition to the direct physical impact that climate change may have on our business, financial condition and results of operations because of the effect on pricing, demand for our offerings and/or the energy supply markets, we may also be adversely impacted by other environmental factors, including: (i) technological advances designed to promote energy efficiency and limit environmental impact; (ii) increased competition from alternative energy sources; (iii) regulatory responses aimed at decreasing greenhouse gas emissions; and (iv) litigation or regulatory actions that address the environmental impact of our energy products and services.

Purchase of Receivables and Concentration of Credit Risk

Utility companies offer purchase of receivable, or POR, programs in most of the service territories in which GRE operates. GRE’s REPs reduce their customer credit risk by participating in POR programs for a majority of their receivables. In addition to providing billing and collection services, utility companies purchase those REPs’ receivables and assume all credit risk without recourse to those REPs. GRE’s REPs’ primary credit risk is therefore nonpayment by the utility companies. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 the associated cost was approximately

1.0

% of GRE revenue and approximately 0.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. At June 30, 2024,

83.8

% of GRE’s net accounts receivable were under a POR program. Certain of the utility companies represent significant portions of our consolidated revenues and consolidated gross trade accounts receivable balance during certain periods, and such concentrations increase our risk associated with nonpayment by those utility companies.

The following table summarizes the percentage of consolidated trade receivables by customers that equal or exceed 10.0% of consolidated net trade

receivables at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (no other single customer accounted for 10.0% or greater of our consolidated net trade receivable as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023).

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Critical accounting policies are those that require the application of management’s most subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our critical accounting policies include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, acquisitions, goodwill, and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For additional discussion of our critical accounting policies, see our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included in Note 21—Recently Issued Accounting Standards, to the current period’s consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

We evaluate the performance of our operating business segments based primarily on income (loss) from operations. Accordingly, the income and expense line items below income (loss) from operations are only included in our discussion of the consolidated results of operations.

Revenues. Electricity revenues decreased by 2.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2024

compared to the same period in 2023

. The decrease was due to a decline in the average price per kilowatt hour charged to customers in the three months ended June 30, 2024

compared to the same period in 2023

. Electricity consumption by GRE’s REPs

' customers slightly decreased by 0.1

% in the three months ended June 30, 2024

, compared to the same period in 2023

, reflecting a 3.8% decrease in the average number of meters served, substantially offset by a 3.9% increase in average consumption per meter. The decrease in meters served was due to reduced level of the customer acquisitions in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in per meter consumption in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was due to standard fluctuations in customer consumption patterns.

2023

. Electricity consumption by GRE’s REPs' customers increased by 15.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in

2023

reflecting a 6.0% increase in the average number of meters served and an 8.5% increase in average consumption per meter. The increase in meters served was driven by strong customer acquisition during 2023. Electricity consumption per meter increased in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due to standard fluctuations in customer consumption patterns. The average rate per kilowatt hour sold decreased by 5.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

due to general market conditions.

GRE’s natural gas revenues decreased by 6.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

. The decrease was a result of a decrease in average revenue per therm sold partially offset by an increase in natural gas consumption per meter in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Natural gas consumption by GRE’s REPs’

customers increased by 5.9

% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

for the same period in 2023. Gross meter acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2024, were

123,000

compared to 204,000

for the same period in 2023.

In the first quarter of 2023, we resumed customer acquisition activities using a variety of new and existing channels after a "strategic pause" implemented from the fourth quarter of 2021 through 2022. The gross meter acquisitions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased compared to the same periods in 2023 as customer acquisition efforts returned to a normal level.

Meters served decreased by 2,000 between March 31, 2024 to June 30, 2024.

Meters served increased by 1,000

meters from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024. The slight fluctuations in the number of meters served at June 30, 2024 compared to March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

In the three months ended June 30, 2024

, average monthly churn increased to 4.6

% compared to 4.3%

for same period in

2023

. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the average monthly churn increased to 5.1% compared to 4.3% for same period in 2023, as a result of higher churn rate related to newly acquired customers.

The average rates of annualized energy consumption, as measured by RCEs, are presented in the chart below. An RCE represents a natural gas customer with annual consumption of 100 mmbtu or an electricity customer with annual consumption of 10 MWh. Because different customers have different rates of energy consumption, RCEs are an industry standard metric for evaluating the consumption profile of a given retail customer base.

(in thousands)	June 30, 2024
RCEs at end of quarter:
Electricity customers	267	267	272	298	304
Natural gas customers	78	81	78	77	76
Total RCEs	345	348	350	375	380

RCEs at June 30, 2024 decreased

0.9

% compared to March 31, 2024. The decrease is due to customer acquisition efforts returning to normal level in 2024 as discussed above.

Cost of revenues for electricity increased in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

primarily because of an increase in the average unit cost of electricity partially offset by slight decrease in electricity consumption by GRE’s REPs’ customers. The average unit cost of electricity increased 7.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

due to an increase in the average wholesale price of electricity. The gross margin on electricity sales decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

because the average unit cost of electricity increased while the average rate charged to customers decreased. The decrease in gross margin is due to the change in the mix type of customers in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.

Cost of revenues for electricity increased in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

primarily because of increases in electricity consumption by GRE’s REPs’ customers and the average unit cost of electricity. The average unit cost of electricity increased 9.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

. The significant increase is due to a rise in the wholesale price of electricity during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Gross margin on electricity sales decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

because the average unit cost of electricity increased while the average rate charged to customers decreased. The decrease in gross margin is due to the change in the mix type of customers in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023.

Cost of revenues for natural gas decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

primarily because of a decrease in the average unit cost of natural gas partially offset by an increase in the natural gas consumption by GRE's REPs' customers. The average unit cost of natural gas decreased by 16.1% per therm in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

due to a decrease in the wholesale price of natural gas. Gross margin on natural gas sales increased in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

because the average rate charged to customers decreased while the average unit cost of natural gas increased.

Cost of revenues for natural gas increased in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

primarily because of an increase in the average unit cost of natural gas partially offset by a decrease in natural gas consumption by GRE's REPs' customers. The average unit cost of natural gas decreased 38.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

. The significant decrease is due to a decrease in the wholesale price of electricity during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, particularly in the first quarter of 2023. Gross margin on natural gas sales decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

because the average rate charged to customers increased less than the increase in the average unit cost of natural gas.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by

7.4

% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

primarily due to decreases in marketing and customer acquisition costs, employee-related costs and provision for doubtful accounts partially offset by increases in POR program fees and processing fees.

Marketing and customer acquisition expenses decreased by $1.5

million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023

as a result of a decrease in the number of meters acquired during 2024 period.

Employee-related expenses decreased by $0.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

primarily due to a decrease in bonus accrual.

Provision for doubtful accounts decreased by $0.3

million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

as a result of continued increase in collection efforts. POR program fees increased by

$0.2

million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

as a result of changes in rates implemented by several utilities. Processing fees increased by $0.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 as a result of an increase in meters with billing fees incurred by GRE. As a percentage of GRE’s total revenues, selling, general and administrative expense increased from

21.2%

in the three months ended June 30, 2023 to 20.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2024.

40

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by

1.3

% in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expense in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

was primarily due to increases POR program fees, processing fees, and employee-related costs partially offset by decreases in marketing and customer acquisition cost and provision for doubtful accounts. POR processing fees increased by $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

as a result of changes in rates implemented by several utilities. Processing fees increased by $

0.6

million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 as a result of an increase in meters with billing fees. Employee-related expenses increased by $

0.2

million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in

2023

primarily due to an increase in commissions paid to employees. Marketing and customer acquisition expenses decreased by $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 as a result of a decrease in the number of meters acquired. Provision for doubtful accounts decreased by $0.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 as a result of a continued increase in collection efforts. As a percentage of GRE’s total revenues, selling, general and administrative expense decreased from

18.4%%

in the six months ended June 30, 2023 to

17.9%%

in the six months ended June 30, 2024.

*Revenue.*Genie Renewables' revenues increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in

2023

. The increase in revenues were the result of increases from Diversegy that includes commissions, entry fees and other fees from our energy brokerage and marketing services businesses and revenue contributions from the portfolio of operating solar projects at Genie Solar, partially offset by decreases in revenues from the development of solar projects for customers from Genie Solar, revenues from commissions from selling third-party products to customers by CityCom Solar and sale of solar panels by Prism.

Cost of Revenues. The variations in the cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 are due to changes in the mix of products from which the revenues were generated during the periods. In the first quarter of 2024, we recorded a $0.4 million charge to the cost of revenues of Genie Solar to write down the carrying value of solar panel inventories to the estimated net realizable value.

41

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in

2023

primarily due to increases in headcount in Genie Solar and Diversegy, consulting fees, warehousing costs at Genie Solar and depreciation from the solar arrays acquired by Genie Solar in the last six months.

Impairment of assets. The impairment of assets recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 relates to capitalized cost at Genie Solar related to solar projects that were discontinued in the second quarter of 2024.

Corporate

As discussed above, the remaining accounts of GRE International were transferred to corporate starting in the third quarter of 2022. Entities under

corporate do not generate any revenues, nor does it incur any cost of revenues. Corporate costs include unallocated compensation, consulting fees, legal fees, business development expense and other corporate-related general and administrative expenses.

Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 and increased in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 primarily because of decreases in employee-related cost and professional and consulting fees. As a percentage of our consolidated revenues, Corporate general and administrative decreased to 2.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 2.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2023 and decreased to 2.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2024 from 3.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

In December 2023, we established a wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary (the "Captive") with the primary purpose of enhancing our risk financing strategies. In December 2023, we paid $51.2 million premiums to Captive, which amount is included in restricted cash in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. The Captive must maintain a sufficient level of cash to fund future reserve payment and secure the insurer's liabilities, particularly those related to the insured risks. We also recognized $0.6 and $ $1.7 million provision for captive insurance liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 related to Captive's exposure for the insured risks.

Consolidated

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Stock-based compensation expense included in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses was $

0.5

million and $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, and

$1.2 million and

$1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. At June 30, 2024, the aggregate unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation was $0.4 million. The unrecognized compensation cost is recognized over the expected service period.

Interest income. Interest income increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to increase in average balances of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash during the period.

Other Income, net. Other income, net in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 consisted primarily of foreign currency transactions and equity in net loss in equity method investees. Other income (loss) income, net, in the three months ended June 30, 2023 consisted primarily of a one-time tax credit related to payroll taxes incurred in prior years.

Provision for Income Taxes. The change in the reported tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 is the result of changes in the mix of jurisdictions in which taxable income was earned.

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. The decreases in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 was primarily due to the share of noncontrolling interest in the operations of Citizens Choice Energy.

43

Gain on Marketable Equity Securities and Investments. The gain on marketable equity securities and investment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 pertains to the change in fair value of the Company's investments in common stock of Rafael which the Company acquired in December 2020 and various investments in equity of several entities.

(Loss) income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax. Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is mainly related to foreign exchange differences in Lumo Sweden during the period. Gain from discontinued operations, net of tax in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is mainly from an increase in the estimated value of our investments in Orbit and foreign exchange differences in Lumo Sweden.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We currently expect that our cash flow from operations and the $

122.3

million balance of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents that we held at June 30, 2024 will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the period to August 8, 2025.

At June 30, 2024, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $132.7 million.

Operating Activities

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $2.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations of $4.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily the fluctuation in the results of operations in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Our cash flow from operations varies significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year, depending on our operating results and the timing of operating cash receipts and payments, specifically trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable. Changes in assets and liabilities decreased cash flows by $25.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023.

Certain of GRE's REPs are party to an Amended and Restated Preferred Supplier Agreement with BP Energy Company, or BP, which is to be in effect through November 30, 2023. Under the agreement, the REPs purchase electricity and natural gas at market rate plus a fee. The obligations to BP are secured by a first security interest in deposits or receivables from utilities in connection with their purchase of the REP’s customer’s receivables, and in any cash deposits or letters of credit posted in connection with any collateral accounts with BP. The ability to purchase electricity and natural gas under this agreement is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including the maintenance of certain covenants. At June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with such covenants. At June 30, 2024, restricted cash—short-term of $0.8 million and trade accounts receivable of $59.1 million were pledged to BP as collateral for the payment of trade accounts payable to BP of $20.1 million at June 30, 2024.

We had purchase commitments of $140.5 million at June 30, 2024, of which $126.3 million was for purchases of electricity.

As discussed above, in December 2023, we established the Captive insurance subsidiary. At June 30, 2024, the balance of short-term and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents of the Captive are $5.1 million and $46.4 million, respectively. We also recognized $1.7 million provision for captive insurance liability for the three months ended June 30, 2024, related to Captive's exposure for the insured risks. At June 30, 2024, the current captive insurance liability of $0.4 million is included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The amount of the expected loss liability for each risk is based on an analysis performed by a third-party actuary which assumed historical patterns. The key assumptions used in developing these estimates are subject to variability.

We are a lessee under operating lease agreements primarily for office space in locations where we operate and for our solar development projects with lease periods expiring between 2024 and 2052. Our future lease payments under the operating leases as of June 30, 2024 were

$3.6 milli

on.

GRE has performance bonds issued through a third party for the benefit of certain utility companies and for various states in order to comply with the states’ financial requirements for retail energy providers. At June 30, 2024, we had outstanding aggregate performance bonds of $21.4 million and a minimal amount of unused letters of credit.

Investing Activities

Our capital expenditures increased $1.0 million to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The capital expenditures are mainly for the construction of solar projects at Genie Solar. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, we transferred $1.9 million worth of solar panels that are intended to be used in Genie Solar projects from inventories to construction in progress related to solar panels expected to be used in the solar project by Genie Solar. We currently anticipate that our total capital expenditures in the twelve months ending December 31, 2024 will be betw

een $6.0 million to $10.00 million

mostly related to the solar projects of Genie Renewables.

On November 3, 2023, we acquired ten special-purpose entities that own and operate solar system facilities in Ohio and Michigan for an aggregate purchase price of $

7.5

million. The acquisition has been accounted for as an asset acquisition with a total purchase price of $

7.7

million, including $

0.2

million of direct transaction cost allocated to solar arrays assets included in the property and equipment account in our consolidated balance sheet.

45

On November 3, 2023, we also signed an agreement to purchase from the sellers another special purpose entity that owned and operated a solar system facility in Indiana, for $

1.3

million, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. In February 2024, the purchase of the solar system facility in Indiana was completed after the closing conditions were met. The acquisition has been accounted for as asset acquisition and we recorded $

1.3

million to solar arrays assets included in the property and equipment account in the consolidated balance sheet.

In February 2024, we purchased from a certain investor

0.5

% interest in Genie Energy International Corporation ("GEIC"), which holds our interest in our operating subsidiaries for $

1.2

million. Following this transaction, GEIC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

In the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023

, we acquired minimal interests in various ventures for an aggregate amount of investments of $3.0

million and $6.3 million, respectively.

In 2020 and 2021, we invested an aggregate of $6.0 million for 261,984 shares of Class B common stock of Rafael Holdings, Inc. ("

Rafael"). Rafael, a publicly-traded company and a related party. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold 195,501 shares of our Class B common stock of Rafael for $0.3 million.

In the second quarter of 2023,

we acquired 150,001 shares of our Class B common stock of Rafael for $

0.3

million. We do not exercise significant influence over the operating or financial policies of Rafael. At June 30, 2024, the carrying value of the remaining investments in the Class B common stock of Rafael was $0.3 million.

In the three months ended March 31, 2023, we invested $4.6 million to purchase the common stock of a publicly traded company which we sold for $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2023.

In March 2023, the Company received $

0.1

million from Atid

613 Drilling Ltd. ("Atid 613") for the full settlement of its investment in

Atid

613. The Company recognized a minimal gain from settlement of investment included in other income (loss), net in its consolidated statements of operations for the

three months ended March 31, 2023.

On November 29, 2021, Orbit, which operated in the United Kingdon, was declared insolvent and its customers were transferred to the “supplier of last resort.” Effective December 1, 2021, the administration of Orbit was transferred to Orbit Administrators. The accounts of Orbit were deconsolidated from those of the Company effective December 1, 2021. In 2022, we transferred $49.7 million to the Orbit Administrators as part of the administration process. On November 28, 2023, the administration of Orbit ceased and the control of Orbit reverted back to the Company from the Administrators. The accounts of Orbit were reconsolidated with those of the Company effective November 28, 2023. In 2023, the Orbit Administrators paid us a return of our interest in Orbit of £18.8 million (equivalent to $23.7 million on the dates of transfer).

The Company is the sole member of the Genie Foundation and the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer serve as members of the board of directors of the Genie Foundation.

On February 7, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a program to redeem up to $1.0 million per quarter of our Preferred Stock at the liquidation preference of $8.50 per share beginning in the second quarter of 2022. In the six months ended June 30, 2024

, the Company redeemed 117,647 shares of

Preferred Stock under the stock purchase program for an aggregate amount of $

1.0

million.

On May 16, 2023, our Board of Directors approved the redemption of all outstanding Preferred Stock on June 16, 2023 (the "Redemption Date") at the liquidation preference of $8.50 per share, together with an amount equal to all dividends accrued and unpaid up to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

The cash provided by operating activities of discontinued operations in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 pertains to the proceeds from the settlement of hedges of Lumo Sweden.

47

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.

Our primary market risk exposure is the price applicable to our natural gas and electricity purchases and sales. The sales price of our natural gas and electricity is primarily driven by the prevailing market price. Hypothetically, for our GRE segment, if our gross profit per unit in the three months ended June 30, 2024 had remained the same as in the three months ended June 30, 2023

, our gross profit from electricity would have increased by 6.7

million and our gross profit from natural gas would have decreased $

0.8

million. Hypothetically, for our GRE segment, if our gross profit per unit in the six months ended June 30, 2024 had remained the same as in the six months ended June 30, 2023, our gross profit from electricity and natural gas sales would have increased by $21.3

million and our gross profit from natural gas would have decreased $5.2 million.

The energy markets have historically been very volatile, and we can reasonably expect that electricity and natural gas prices will be subject to fluctuations in the future. In an effort to reduce the effects of the volatility of the price of electricity and natural gas on our operations, we have adopted a policy of hedging electricity and natural gas prices from time to time, at relatively lower volumes, primarily through the use of put and call options and swaps. While the use of these hedging arrangements limits the downside risk of adverse price movements, it also limits future gains from favorable movements. We do not apply hedge accounting to these options or swaps, therefore the mark-to-market change in fair value is recognized in cost of revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. We recognized losses from derivative instruments of $8.4 million and $13.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and losses of $6.0 million and $17.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 from our derivative instruments. Refer to Note 7 – Derivative Instruments, for details of the hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
