• Preliminary 2025 Financials Reported

  The company reported preliminary, unaudited results for Q4 and full year 2025, showing consolidated revenue growth to $502.0 million for FY2025 (from $425.2 million in FY2024) but a decline in consolidated income from operations to $27.7 million (from $44.9 million in FY2024). Cash, restricted cash, and cash equivalents increased to $211.4 million as of December 31, 2025.

• 2026 Financial Guidance Issued

  Genie Energy projected consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $40 million to $50 million for the full year 2026, indicating a positive outlook despite recent market challenges.

• Restatement Expected to Boost Prior Income

  Following the March 12, 2026 disclosure of non-reliance on past financials, the company now estimates that the restated financial statements for 2023 and 2024 will significantly *increase* income from operations, provision for income taxes, and net income for those periods, providing a positive update to a prior negative event.

This filing provides preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, alongside financial guidance for 2026. Critically, it offers a significant update to the prior 8-K from March 12, 2026, which disclosed that past financial statements could not be relied upon. The company now estimates that the restated financial statements for 2023 and 2024 will significantly *increase* income from operations, provision for income taxes, and net income for those periods. This positive clarification on the restatement, coupled with solid 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $40 million to $50 million, helps to mitigate the uncertainty created by the earlier non-reliance disclosure. While 2025 consolidated operating income declined, the company's cash position improved, and management expressed a positive outlook for 2026.
