NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Business Changes and Development

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Genie Energy Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “Genie”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for thethree months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2024 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, 2024, 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 ("GREW") 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"), Mirabito Natural Gas (“Mirabito”) and Evergreen Gas & Electric (“Evergreen”). 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.

GREW primarily 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 alternative products and services complimentary to our energy offerings and a 91.5% interest in Diversegy, an energy procurement advisorfor industrial, commercial and municipal customers.

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 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Lumo Sweden are continuing to liquidate their remaining receivables and settle any remaining liabilities.

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.

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. Unseasonal 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 43.0% and 48.1% of GRE’s natural gas revenues for the relevant years were generated in the first quarters 2024 and 2023, 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 28.7%and 32.5% of GRE’s electricity revenues were generated in the third quarters of 2024 and 2023 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, extraordinary weather has and can lead to extreme spikes in the prices of wholesale electricity and natural gas in markets where GRE and other retail providers purchase their supply, or in challenges to the grid or supply markets in affected areas. Such events could have material impacts on our margins and operations.

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.

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.

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 ordelivery of solar modules, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation identified in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices, orestimates 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.

Genie Solar enters into contracts to identify, develop, and 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.

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 sales of solar panels and other solar projects are included under the Other Revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

Revenues from commissions from selling third-party products to customers, entry and other fees from energy procurement advisory services (which are provided by Diversegy) 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. Revenues from commissions are included under the Other Revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

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 thanone 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 beenone year or less.

Contract liabilities

Certain revenue generating contracts at GREW 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, which is expected to be satisfied in the next twelve months. Contract liabilities are included in other current liabilities account in the consolidated balance sheets.

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 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 business of recycling 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 to Roded gradually increasing its interest 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 minimal revenue for Roded in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income forthree months ended March 31, 2025. 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 sheets 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
Goodwill2,660
Liabilities(850)
Noncontrolling interest(1,243)
Net assets$1,340

Goodwill was allocated to the GREW 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 acquiredten 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 is 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 sheets with estimated useful lives of 14 to 30 years.

On November 3, 2023, the Company also signed an agreement to purchase from the sellers of the Ohio and Michigan facilities another special purpose entity that owns and operates 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 acquisitionandthe Company recorded $1.3 millionto solar array assets included in the property and equipment account in the consolidated balance sheets with estimated useful lives of 30 years.

The acquired assets are allocated to the GREW 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 besettled 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 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 the (former) 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 $38.1 million as of March 31, 2025) 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 March 31, 2025), 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 $43.3 million as of March 31, 2025). The Company believes that the Lumo Administrators' position is without merit, and is vigorously defending its position.

The Lumo Administrators filed a claim againstone 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 March 31, 2025) prior to the bankruptcy. The Lumo Administrators has also filed a recovery claim jointly against the Company and the supplier amounting to €1.6 million (equivalent to $1.7 million as of March 31, 2025) 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 alleges that the payments represented preferential payments and therefore belong to the bankruptcy estate which are recoverable under the laws of Finland. The Company is challenging the Lumo Administrator's claims.

The Company believes that the maximum exposure for these cases would likely be limited by the potential amount of the customers' claims in the bankruptcy case. Based on the progress made in assessing those claims, the Company expects those claims to be in the range of €2.0 million and €4.0 million. Although the Company does not believe that it is legally obligated to pay anything, given the likelihood of negotiating a settlement to minimize further costs of challenging the claims, the Company recognized an estimated loss of €2.5 million (equivalent to $2.6 million at the date of the transaction) recorded in thefourth quarter of 2024. The estimated loss was included in the loss from discontinued operations, net account in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Note 6—Fair Value Measurements

(1) –quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

(2) –observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

(3) –no observable pricing inputs in the market

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 thethree months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, other assets included notes receivable. At March 31, 2025, 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 anyone 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.

Utility companies offer purchase of receivable, or POR, programs in most of the service territories in which GRE operates. GRE’s REPs reduce its customer credit risk by participating in POR programs for a majority of its 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. Certain of the utility companies represent significant portions of the Company's consolidated revenues and consolidated trade accounts receivable balance.

The following table summarizes the percentage of consolidated trade receivable by customers that equal or exceed 10.0% of consolidated net trade receivables at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (no other single customer accounted for 10.0% or greater of the consolidated net trade receivable as March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024):

Customer A is a utility company offering POR program.

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 March 31, 2025, GRE’s swaps and options were traded on the Intercontinental Exchange.

The summarized volume of GRE’s outstanding contracts and options at March 31, 2025 was as follows (MWh – Megawatt hour and Dth – Decatherm):

The current portion of the operating lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities andthe noncurrent portion isincluded in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

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.

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.

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 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.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company expanded its self-insurance risk management strategy to cover additional risk related to its current and historical business operations. The coverage is being provided on an occurrence basis, with an initial policy that reflects 1) exposure, for occurrences in the year prior to implementation, to claims made subsequent to program inception, to the extent recoveries were still possible under relevant statutes of limitation, and 2) exposure for annual periods commencing with implementation of the program.

In assessing the loss contingency, the Company estimated the magnitude and frequency of expected loss based on the Company's activities. A range of margins was selected so that the cumulative expenses plus risk of losses over a given number of years equal the expected magnitude. This produced a range of annual premium options for the protective period. The contribution of a priori expected plus risk margin losses from each of these periods is multiplied by a current remaining probability factor, which recognizes the relative likelihood that a claim will still be brought subsequent to program inception. These are added together to obtain estimated required reserves and required premiums (net of expenses) at program inception-related exposure prior to program inception.

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 the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company paid a $39.6 million premium to the Captive recognized as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2025, the balance of short-term and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents of the Captive are $19.2 million and $70.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the balance of short-term and long-term restricted cash of Captive were $18.8 million and $69.6 million, respectively. The Captive must maintain a sufficient level of cash to fund future reserve payments and secure the Captive's liabilities, particularly those related to insured risks.
