GENIE ENERGY LTD. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Business Changes and Development
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 the three and six months ended June 30, 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 advisor for industrial, commercial and municipal customers.
One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was enacted into law. The law accelerates the expiration of the federal investment tax credit on solar projects, effective for projects going online after December 31, 2027. In light of this new law, the Company is evaluating the financial viability of its early-stage projects that will not qualify for the federal solar investment tax credits and is pausing new project developments. The Company is evaluating the impact of this legislation on our solar operations and potential future impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impairment of assets is a result of discontinued projects of Genie Solar as a result of lack of viability. The Company recognized the impairment of assets related to costs previously capitalized in other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Lumo Sweden is 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 2—Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as well as the corresponding amounts reported in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash
Restricted cash—short-term includes amounts set aside in accordance with GRE's Amended and Restated Preferred Supplier Agreement with BP Energy Company (“BP”) (see Note 19), Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase (see Note 20), Term Loan Agreement with National Cooperative Bank, N.A. ("NCB") (see Note 20) and for the current portion of cash held by the Company's wholly-owned insurance subsidiary (the "Captive") which is restricted for uses related to current portion of the insured liability program (see Note 19).
Restricted cash—long-term includes cash held by the Captive, which is restricted for uses related to the noncurrent portion of the insured liability program (see Note 19).
Included in the cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is cash received from Lumo Sweden (see Note 5).
Note 3—Inventories
Inventories consisted of the following:
Renewable credits
Solar panels
Totals
The renewable energy credits are used to satisfy specific state-mandated requirements and, to a lesser extent, our customer portfolio. Depending on the state, compliance typically occurs either in the first quarter for calendar year compliance periods and late in the second or early third quarter for energy year compliance periods of June to May. Renewable energy credit inventory will increase based on the schedule of deliveries of renewable energy credits by the third-party vendors and decrease based on the aforementioned compliance satisfaction.
Note 4—Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the single performance obligation to deliver a unit of electricity and/or natural gas are 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 revenues are estimated each month based on available per day usage data, the number of unbilled days in the period and historical trends.
Incumbent utility companies offer purchase of receivables, or POR programs in most of the service territories in which GRE's REPs operate and GRE’s REPs participate in POR programs for a majority of their receivables.
The Company offers various rebate programs to certain customers and estimates variable consideration related to these 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.
Revenues 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 revenues 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 revenues over time. Revenues for these performance obligations are 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 revenues are earned from both the sale of electricity generated from operating solar projects and the sale of Solar Energy Credits ("SRECs").
Revenues from energy generation are 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, solar project development and energy generation are included under the Other Revenues in the condensed 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 condensed 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 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.
Disaggregated Revenues
The following table shows the Company’s revenues disaggregated by pricing plans offered to customers:
Natural Gas
Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Fixed rate
Variable rate
Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Fixed and variable rate revenues are from GRE. Other revenues are from GREW and include revenues from sales of solar panels, solar projects and energy generation by Genie Solar, and commissions from marketing energy solutions by CityCom Solar and Diversegy.
The following table shows the Company’s revenues disaggregated by non-commercial and commercial channels:
Non-Commercial Channel
Commercial Channel
Contract liabilities
Certain revenue generating contracts at GREW include provisions that require advance payment from customers. These advance payments are recognized as revenues 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The table below reconciles the change in the carrying amount of contract liabilities:
Contract liability, beginning
Recognition of revenue included in the beginning of the year contract liability
Additions during the period, net of revenue recognized during the period
Contract liability, end
Allowance for credit losses
The change in the allowance for credit losses was as follows:
Allowance for credit losses, beginning
Additions charged to expense
Other deductions
Allowance for credit losses, end
The Company evaluates the collectability of its trade receivables in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 326—Credit Losses. The Company measures expected credit losses on a collective pool basis, based on the type of customers, commodity sold, region or state, and payment history. The allowance for credit losses is based on a combination of historical collection experience, aging of receivables, customer credit risk characteristics and reasonable forecasts of future macroeconomic conditions. The Company regularly monitors delinquency trends, collection experience, and other credit quality indicators relevant to each receivable pool. Management adjusts the historical loss experience with current conditions and reasonable forecasts to estimate the expected credit losses. Credit losses are recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
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 revenues for Roded in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for three and six months ended June 30, 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 an assessment of assets and liabilities related to the acquisition of Roded. The impact of the acquisition's purchase price allocations on the Company’s condensed 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
Property, plant and equipment (1 to 10-year useful life)
Liabilities
Noncontrolling interest
Net assets
Goodwill was allocated to the GREW segment. Goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the expected revenues and costs 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 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 condensed 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 acquisition and the Company recorded $1.3 million to solar array assets included in the property and equipment account in the condensed 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 was fixed and was settled monthly based on the monthly commodity volume specified in the instruments between September 2022 and 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Lumo Sweden is continuing to liquidate its remaining assets 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:
June 30, 2025
December 31, 2024
Cash
Receivables from the settlement of derivative contract—current
Other noncurrent assets
Accounts payable and other current liabilities
Deferred tax liabilities
The summary of the results of operations of the discontinued operations of Lumo Sweden were as follows:
Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes
Income (loss) before income taxes attributable to Genie Energy Ltd.
The following table presents a summary of cash flows of the discontinued operations of Lumo Sweden:
Net loss
Non-cash items
Changes in assets and liabilities
Cash flows provided by operating activities of discontinued operations
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 Lumo Finland 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 they allege that the gain from the sale of swap instruments owned by Lumo Sweden amounting to €35.2 million (equivalent to $41.5 million as of June 30, 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 $5.7 million as of June 30, 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 $47.2 million as of June 30, 2025). The Company believes that the Lumo Administrators' position is without merit, and is vigorously defending its position.
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 $5.0 million as of June 30, 2025) prior to the bankruptcy. The Lumo Administrators have also filed a recovery claim jointly against the Company and the supplier amounting to €1.6 million (equivalent to $1.9 million as of June 30, 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 allege 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 to €4.0 million. Although the Company does not believe that it is legally obligated to pay anything in respect of the claims, 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 the fourth quarter of 2024. The estimated loss was included in the loss from discontinued operations, net account in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Note 6—Fair Value Measurements
The following table presents the balance of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Level 1 (1)
Level 2 (2)
Level 3 (3)
Assets:
Derivative contracts
Liabilities:
(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 the three months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 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 ("IDT"), and other current liabilities approximated fair value.
Other assets. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, other assets included short-term investments (see Note 9).
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.
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, under POR programs, the 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 consolidated trade receivable by customers that equal or exceed 10.0% of consolidated net trade receivables at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (no other single customer accounted for 10.0% or greater of the consolidated net trade receivable as June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024):
Customer A
The following table summarizes the percentage of revenues by customers that equal or exceed 10.0% of consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (no other single customer accounted for 10.0% or greater of the consolidated revenues in these periods):
Customer B
Customers A and B are utility companies 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 ASC 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, 2025, GRE’s swaps and options were traded on the Intercontinental Exchange.
The summarized volume of GRE’s outstanding contracts and options at June 30, 2025 was as follows (MWh – Megawatt hour and Dth – Decatherm):

In July 2024, the Company acquired an interest in an investment property with an aggregate cost of $3.6 million. The investment property was acquired through a subsidiary in which the Company holds a 51.0% interest with the remaining 49.0% held by Howard Jonas, a related party (see Note 17). The Company paid $1.8 million to the seller of the interest and delivered a note payable to the seller in the amount of $1.8 million, payable in full on February 1, 2026. The note payable carries a 5.0% interest rate and interest is payable on maturity. In the third quarter of 2024, Howard Jonas, reimbursed the Company in the amount of $0.9 million, representing the purchase price for his 49.0% share in the investment property and is included in the noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized a receivable of $0.9 million related to Howard Jonas' 49.0% share in the notes payable and Mr. Jonas' interest in the asset is included in the noncontrolling interests section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $1.8 million was outstanding under the note payable with an effective interest rate of 5.0%.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, Howard Jonas contributed nominal amount towards developing the investment property and the Company expended $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Howard Jonas' share in the investment property was diluted to 29.9% and 44.1%, respectively, resulting from additional investments by the Company in the investment property.

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 2025 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 condensed 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 condensed 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.
ROU Assets
Current portion of operating lease liabilities
Noncurrent portion of operating lease liabilities
At June 30, 2025, the weighted average remaining lease term was 21.7 years and the weighted average discount rate is 9.0%.

In February 2024, Howard S. Jonas exercised options to purchase 126,176 shares of Class B common stock through a cashless exercise and the Company issued 49,632 Class B common stock to Howard S. Jonas with the remaining 76,544 Class B common stock used for payment of the exercise price or retained by the Company to satisfy withholding tax obligations in connection to the exercise of the options.
At June 30, 2025, there were no outstanding options to purchase the Company's common stock.
Purchase of Equity of Subsidiary
In February 2024, the Company purchased from a certain investor a 0.5% equity interest in Genie Energy International Corporation ("GEIC"), which holds the Company's interest in its operating subsidiaries for $1.2 million. Following this transaction, GEIC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
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 initially reserved for the grant of awards under the 2021 Plan is 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, 2025, there was $4.7 million of 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 2.1 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. From 2011 to April 2025, the Company did 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 had the power to direct the activities of CCE that most significantly impact its economic performance and it had 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 was 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 condensed consolidated statements of operations.
In April 2025, the Company signed an Equity Purchase Agreement with Tari Corporation to acquire 100% interest in CCE for $1.0 and the forgiveness of all intercompany balances of CCE with the Company, subject to approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which is pending as of June 30, 2025.
Net loss related to CCE and aggregate net funding provided by the Company were as follows:
Net income (loss)
Aggregate (funding provided by) distributions paid to the Company, net
Summarized combined balance sheet amounts related to CCE were as follows:
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Liabilities and noncontrolling interests
Current liabilities
Due to IDT Energy
Total liabilities and noncontrolling interests
The assets of CCE may only be used to settle obligations of CCE, and may not be used for other consolidated entities. The liabilities of CCE were non-recourse to the general credit of the Company’s other consolidated entities.
Note 15—Income Taxes
The following table provides a summary of Company's effective tax rate:
Reported tax rate
The reported tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 increased compared to the same period in 2024. The increase is mainly from the change in the mix of tax rates in the jurisdictions where the Company earned taxable income as well as the nature of certain deductions.
The Company determined an annual effective tax rate and applied that annual effective tax rate to the Company's taxable income for the year to date interim periods. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of nondeductible employee compensation expenses and the results of VIE operations.
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:
Basic weighted-average number of shares
Effect of dilutive securities:
Non-vested restricted Class B common stock
Diluted weighted-average number of shares
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, 2025 and 2024.
Note 17—Related Party Transactions

The Company obtains insurance policies from several insurance brokers, one of which is IGM Brokerage Corp. (“IGM”). IGM is owned by the mother of Howard S. Jonas and Joyce Mason, who is a Director and Corporate Secretary of the Company. Jonathan Mason, husband of Joyce Mason and brother-in-law of Howard S. Jonas, provides insurance brokerage services via IGM. Based on information the Company received from IGM, the Company believes that IGM received commissions and fees from payments made by the Company (including payments from third party brokers). The Company paid IGM a $0.4 million in 2024 related to premium of various insurance policies that were brokered by IGM. There was no outstanding payable to IGM as of June 30, 2025. Neither Howard S. Jonas nor Joyce Mason has any ownership or other interest in IGM other than via the familial relationships with their mother and Jonathan Mason.
Note 18—Business Segment Information
The Company has two reportable business segments: GRE and GREW. GRE owns and operates REPs, including IDT Energy, Residents Energy, TSE, Southern Federal and Evergreen Energy, Mirabito. Its REP businesses resell electricity and natural gas to residential and small business customers in the Eastern and Midwestern United States and Texas. GREW develops, constructs and operates utility-scale solar energy projects, distributes solar panels, offers energy procurement and advisory services and also markets alternative products and services complementary to its energy offerings. 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 ("CODM), the chief executive officer.
The CODM uses segment income (loss) from operations to allocate resources for each segment. The CODM considers revenues and income (loss) from operations to assess performance and make decisions about allocating resources to the segments.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as the accounting policies of the Company as a whole. There are no significant asymmetrical allocations to segments.
Operating results for the business segments of the Company were as follows:
GREW
Corporate
Revenues
Marketing and customer acquisition expenses
Employee-related expenses
Provision for captive insurance liabilities
Other selling, general and administrative expenses
Income (loss) from operations
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes

Note 19—Commitments and Contingencies
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 June 30, 2025, 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, 2025, Resident Energy’s gross revenues from sales in Illinois were $5.5 million and $13.6 million, respectively. 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.
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.
See 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 $150.0 million at June 30, 2025, of which $140.0 million was for future purchase of electricity. The purchase commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2025 are expected to be paid as follows:
Total payments
In the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company purchased $30.1 million and $4.2 million of electricity and renewable energy credits, respectively, under purchase commitments that were open during the period. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company purchased $59.8 million and $4.7 million of electricity and renewable energy credits, respectively, under purchase commitments that were open during the period. 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 purchase commitments that were open during the period. 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 purchase commitments that were open during the period.
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, 2025, GRE had commitments to purchase renewable energy credits of $10.0 million, which are reflected in the table above.
Captive Insurance Subsidiary
In December 2023, the Company established a 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 the current 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, (2) settlements and penalties resulting from insured risk, and (3) 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 exposure for (1) 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) 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, which cash is recognized as restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2025, the balance of short-term and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents of the Captive were $16.8 million and $70.3 million, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the balance of short-term and long-term restricted cash of the 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. The Captive has restricted alternative investments included in other current assets and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 9). The Company also recognized a $0.3 million and $0.9 million provision for captive insurance liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.6 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, related to the Captive's exposure for the insured risks.
The table below reconciles the change in the current and noncurrent captive insurance liabilities for six months ended June 30, 2025 (in thousands):

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, 2025, GRE had aggregate performance bonds of $27.5 million outstanding and $1.0 million 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, 2025, the Company was in compliance with such covenants. At June 30, 2025, restricted cash—short-term of $1.4 million and trade accounts receivable of $67.0 million were pledged to BP as collateral for the payment of trade accounts payable to BP of $24.2 million at June 30, 2025.

The Company paid NCB a nonrefundable commitment fee equal to 1.0% of the total principal amount equivalent to $0.1 million. The Company has the right to prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part at any time as permitted under specific terms in the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan is secured by the Company's operating solar systems located in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. The Term Loan is subject to various financial and negative covenants and at June 30, 2025 the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
The Company capitalized $0.1 million of debt issuance cost in 2024 in connection with the Term Loan. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $7.4 million and $7.4 million, outstanding under the Term Loan at a weighted average interest rate of 6.3% and 6.5%, respectively.
The Company also entered into a Cash Management Agreement with NCB to manage the cash flows of the operations of collateralized solar projects. The Cash Management Agreement also provided certain restriction on certain cash accounts specified in the agreements. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, aggregate of $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, are deposited in NCB and are subject to certain restrictions.
Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank
On December 13, 2018, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). On October 25, 2024, the Company entered into the fourth amendment of the existing Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2025. The aggregate available borrowing amount was reduced to a $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, 2025, there are $0.7 million in letters of credit issued by JP Morgan Chase Bank. At June 30, 2025, the cash collateral of $3.3 million was included in restricted cash—short-term in the condensed 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. The new provisions require all entities to disclose on an annual basis the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received), disaggregated between federal (national), state/local and foreign, and amounts paid to an individual jurisdiction when 5% or more of the total income taxes paid. The new provisions are required to be applied on a prospective basis; retrospective application is permitted. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Although the new standard only requires additional disclosures, the Company is in the process of determining the impact of this guidance to its income tax disclosures.

Overview
We are comprised of Genie Retail Energy ("GRE") and Genie Renewables ("GREW").
GRE owns and operates retail energy providers ("REPs"), including IDT Energy, Residents Energy, Town Square Energy ("TSE"), Southern Federal and Mirabito Natural Gas and Evergreen Gas & Electric. 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.
GREW primarily consists of a 95.5% interest in Genie Solar, an integrated solar energy company that develops, constructs and operates utility-scale solar energy projects, a 92.8% interest in CityCom Solar, a marketer of community solar and alternative products and services complimentary to our energy offerings, and a 96.0% interest in Diversegy, our energy procurement advisor for industrial, commercial and municipal customers.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was enacted into law. The law accelerates the expiration of the federal investments tax credit on solar projects, effective for projects going online after December 31, 2027. In light of this new law, we are evaluating the financial viability of our early-stage projects that will not qualify for the federal solar investment tax credits, and is pausing new project developments. We are evaluating the impact of this legislation on our solar operations and potential future impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
.
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, as well as opportunities for diversification of our 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.
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 was fixed and was settled monthly based on the monthly commodity volume specified in the instruments between September 2022 and March 2025.
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 condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Lumo Sweden is continuing to liquidate its remaining assets 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 income from discontinued operations of Lumo Sweden, net of taxes was minimal for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Net loss from discontinued operations of Lumo Sweden, net of taxes was $0.1 million three months ended June 30, 2024. Net loss from discontinued operations of Lumo Sweden, net of taxes was $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
On November 8, 2023, the Lumo Administrators, acting on behalf of the Lumo Finland Bankruptcy Estate, filed a claim in the District Court of Helsinki against Genie Nordic, its directors, officers and affiliates, in which they allege that the gain from the sale of swap instruments owned by Lumo Sweden amounting to €35.2 million (equivalent to $41.5 million as of June 30, 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 $5.7 million as of June 30, 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 $47.2 million as of June 30, 2025). The Company believes that the Lumo Administrators' position is without merit, and it intends to vigorously defend its position.
We have also been 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 $5.0 million as of June 30, 2025) 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 $1.9 million as of June 30, 2025) 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.
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 to €4.0 million. Although the Company does not believe that it is legally obligated to pay anything in respect of the claims, 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 the fourth 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.
Genie Retail Energy
GRE operates REPs that resell electricity and/or natural gas to residential and small business customers in California. 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 94.1% and 95.6% of our consolidated revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 95.6% and 94.7% of our consolidated revenues in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
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 43.0% and 48.1% of GRE’s natural gas revenues for the relevant years were generated in the first quarter of 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 for 2024 and 2023 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, 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 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 in these jurisdictions is therefore nonpayment by the utility companies. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 the associated cost was approximately 1.1% of GRE's revenues and approximately 1.0% of GRE's revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 80.3% and 83.6%, respectively, of GRE’s net accounts receivable were under POR programs.
Concentration of Customers and Associated Credit Risk
GRE’s REPs reduce their customer credit risk by participating in purchase of receivable programs for a majority of their receivables. In addition to providing billing and collection services, some utility companies purchase those REPs’ receivables and assume all credit risk without recourse to those REPs for those purchased receivables. GRE’s REPs primary credit risk with respect to those purchased receivables is therefore nonpayment by the utility companies. 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (no other single customer accounted for 10.0% or greater of our consolidated net trade receivable as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024).
The following table summarizes the percentage of revenues by customers that equal or exceed 10.0% of consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024 (no other single customer accounted for 10.0% or greater of our consolidated revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 or 2024):
Although GRE endeavors to maintain best sales and marketing practices, such practices have been the subject of class action lawsuits in the past.

From time to time, the Company responds to 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. 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.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our condensed 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 our consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K. 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 credit losses, 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 the Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Information regarding new accounting pronouncements is included in Note 21—Recently Issued Accounting Standards, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference.
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 our condensed consolidated results of operations.

Revenues. Electricity revenues increased by 14.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was due to an increase in electricity consumption partially offset by a decrease in the average price per kilowatt hour charged to customers in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Electricity consumption by GRE’s REPs' customers increased by 17.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting 17.8% increase in the average number of meters served partially offset by a 0.2% decrease in the average consumption per meter. The increase in meters served was driven by strong customer acquisitions during 2024 and first half of 2025. The average rate per kilowatt hour sold decreased by 2.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to general market conditions and the addition of meters on lower margin aggregation products.
Electricity revenues increased by 15.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was due to an increase in electricity consumption partially offset by a decrease in the average price per kilowatt hour charged to customers in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Electricity consumption by GRE’s REPs' customers increased by 20.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting 17.4% and 2.8% increases in the average number of meters served and average consumption per meter, respectively. The increase in meters served was driven by strong customer acquisitions during 2024 and the first half of 2025. The increase in per meter consumption in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was due to a shift in customer mix into higher consumption territories. The average rate per kilowatt hour sold decreased by 4.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to general market conditions and the addition of meters on lower margin aggregation products.
Natural gas revenues increased by 8.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was a result of increases in natural gas consumption and in average revenue per therm sold in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Natural gas consumption by GRE’s REPs’ customers increased by 4.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting 4.3% and 0.4% increases in average meters served and average consumption per meter, respectively. The increase in meters served was due to high levels of customer acquisitions in 2024 and first half of 2025. The average revenue per therm sold increased by 3.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 due to general market conditions.
Natural gas revenues increased by 21.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was a result of increases in natural gas consumption and in average revenue per therm sold in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Natural gas consumption by GRE’s REPs’ customers increased by 16.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, reflecting 6.0% and 10.2% increases in average meters served and average consumption per meter, respectively. The increase in meters served was due to high levels of customer acquisitions in in 2024 and first half of 2025. The increase in per meter consumption is due, in part, to colder weather in many of our service areas in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The average revenue per therm sold increased by 4.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 due to general market conditions.
Other revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 included revenues from customer termination fees from commercial customers. Other revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2025 included revenues from the sale of petroleum products in Israel.
The customer base for GRE’s REPs as measured by meters served consisted of the following:

Total meters
Gross meter acquisitions in the three months ended June 30, 2025, were 70,000 compared to 53,000 for the same period in 2024. Gross meter acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2025, were 131,000 compared to 123,000 for the same period in 2024.
Meters served was relatively flat between March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The slight decrease in the number of meters served at June 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 is due to new sales during the six months ended June 30, 2025 failing to fully replace those lost to churn.
In the three months ended June 30, 2025, average monthly churn increased to 4.8% compared to 4.6% for the same period in 2024. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, average monthly churn increased to 5.2% compared to 5.1% for the same period in 2024.
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.
RCEs at end of quarter:
Total RCEs
RCEs at June 30, 2025 increased 3.0% compared to March 31, 2025. The increase is due to a shift in customer mix into higher consumption territories and higher overall consumption per customer.

Total gross margin percentage
Cost of revenues for electricity increased in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily because of an increase in electricity consumption by GRE’s REPs’ customers combined with an increase in the average unit cost of electricity. The average unit cost of electricity increased 19.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to general market conditions. The gross margin on electricity sales decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 because the average rate charged to customers decreased while the unit cost of electricity increased.
Cost of revenues for electricity increased in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily because of an increase in electricity consumption by GRE’s REPs’ customers combined with an increase in the average unit cost of electricity. The average unit cost of electricity increased 7.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to general market conditions. The gross margin on electricity sales decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 because the average rate charged to customers decreased while the unit cost of electricity increased.
Cost of revenues for natural gas increased in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily because of increases in the natural gas consumption by GRE's REPs' customers and the average unit cost of natural gas. The average unit cost of natural gas increased 51.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to an increase in the wholesale price of natural gas. Gross margin on natural gas sales decreased in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 because the average unit cost of natural gas increased more than the increase in the average rate charged to customers.
Cost of revenues for natural gas increased in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily because of increases in the natural gas consumption by GRE's REPs' customers and the average unit cost of natural gas. The average unit cost of natural gas increased 12.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to a decrease in the wholesale price of natural gas specially in the second quarter of 2025. Gross margin on natural gas sales increased in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 because of the average unit cost of natural gas increased more than the increase in the average rate charged to customers.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 1.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to a decrease in employee-related expenses partially offset by an increase in marketing and customer acquisition costs. Employee-related expenses decreased by $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to a decrease in bonus accrual. Marketing and customer acquisition expenses increased by $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 as a result of continued efforts to acquire meters during the 2025 period. As a percentage of GRE’s total revenues, selling, general and administrative expense decreased from 20.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 to 17.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 2.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to increases in management fees and regulatory-related expenses. Management fees increased by $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to increase in level of activity in Mirabito. Regulatory-related expenses increased by $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to increased operational activity levels. As a percentage of GRE’s total revenues, selling, general and administrative expense decreased from 17.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2024 to 15.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Diversegy provides energy procurement advisory services to commercial and industrial customers.
Cost of revenue
Loss from operations
Revenues. GREW's revenues increased in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 due to increases in revenues generated by Diversegy and Genie Solar. Diversegy's revenues from commissions, entry fees and other fees increased by $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to strong growth in the number of customers and transactions in the past several quarters. Genie Solar's revenues from the development of solar projects for customers increased by $0.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 as the Company completed more ongoing projects during the period. Revenues from CityCom Solar decreased by $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 as a result of reduced level of activity during recent periods.
GREW's revenues decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 due to decreases in revenues generated by Genie Solar and CityCom Solar partially offset by an increase in revenues from Diversegy. Diversegy's revenues from commissions, entry fees and other fees increased by $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to strong growth in the number of customers and transactions in the past several quarters. Genie Solar's revenues from development of solar projects for customers decreased by $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024 as we shifted our strategic focus from lower margin commercial projects to the development and operation of utility-scale projects. Revenues from CityCom Solar decreased by $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 as a result of reduced level of activity for the past few quarters.
Cost of Revenues. The variations in the cost of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 are due to changes in the mix of products from which the revenues were generated during the periods.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses were relatively flat in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024.
Impairment of assets. The impairment of assets recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 relates to capitalized cost of Genie Solar related to solar projects that were discontinued during the period.
Legal proceedings
We periodically receive requests for information, documents and subpoenas from regulators, the majority of which are routine and related to compliance obligations. On certain occasions, a regulatory or governmental bodies may, in response to the interaction, formalize additional requests or eventually file an action or lawsuit. See Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated by reference, for further detail on agency and regulatory proceedings.
As discussed above, the remaining accounts of GRE International were transferred to corporate starting in the third quarter of 2022 (when GRE International ceased being treated as a separate segment). Entities under corporate do not generate any revenues, nor do they incur any cost of revenues. Corporate general and administrative expenses include unallocated compensation, consulting fees, legal fees, business development expense and other corporate-related general and administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses and loss from operations
Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily because of a decrease in employee-related costs including in bonus accruals. As a percentage of consolidated revenues, Corporate general and administrative expenses decreased to 1.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 2.2% in the three months ended June 30, 2024 and decreased to 1.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2025 from 2.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
In December 2023, we established our wholly-owned Captive insurance subsidiary with the primary purpose of enhancing our risk financing strategies. The Captive insures against certain risks unique to our operations for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in the current insurance marketplace. The covered risks are both current and related to historical business activities.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, we expanded our 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 exposure for (1) 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.
With input from external experts, we estimated the expected ultimate cost of: (1) claims defense cost, (2) settlements and penalties resulting from insured risk, and (3) 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 assessing the loss contingency, we estimated the severity and frequency of expected losses based on our 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 2024, we paid $39.6 million premiums to Captive, which cash is included in restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 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 $0.3 million and $0.6 million provision for captive insurance liability for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $0.9 million and $1.7 million for six months ended June 30, 2025 and 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 $0.6 million and $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. At June 30, 2025, the aggregate unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation was $4.7 million. The unrecognized compensation cost is recognized over the expected vesting period.
The following is a discussion of our consolidated income and expense line items below income from operations:
Gain on marketable equity securities and investments
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax
Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests
Net income attributable to Genie Energy Ltd.
Interest income. Interest income increased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024 primarily due to increases in average balances of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash during the periods.
Other (Loss) Income, net. Other income, net in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 consisted primarily of foreign currency transactions.
Provision for Income Taxes. The change in the reported tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 is the result of changes in the mix of jurisdictions in which taxable income was earned and the nature of certain deductions.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. The decreases in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests (or shift from net loss to net income attributable to noncontrolling interest) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was primarily due to the share of noncontrolling interest in the operations of Citizens Choice Energy.
Gain on Marketable Equity Securities and Investments. The gain on marketable equity securities and investment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 pertains to the change in fair value of the Company's investments in various investments in equity of several entities.
Net loss (income) from Discontinued Operations, net of tax. Loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is mainly related to foreign exchange differences in Lumo Sweden during the periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We currently expect that our cash flow from operations and the $201.0 million balance of unrestricted and restricted cash and cash equivalents that we held at June 30, 2025 will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the period to August 7, 2026.
At June 30, 2025, we had working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $115.0 million.
Cash flows provided by (used in):
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
(Decrease) increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of continuing operations
Cash flows provided by discontinued operations
Net increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
Operating Activities
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $14.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to net cash used in operating activities of continuing operations of $26.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in cash flows is due primarily to the fluctuation in the results of operations in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
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 increased cash flows by $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.
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, 2025, we were in compliance with such covenants. At June 30, 2025, restricted cash—short-term of $1.4 million and trade accounts receivable of $67.0 million were pledged to BP as collateral for the payment of trade accounts payable to BP of $24.2 million at June 30, 2025.
We had purchase commitments of $150.0 million at June 30, 2025, of which $140.0 million was for purchases of electricity.
As discussed above, in December 2023, we established the Captive insurance subsidiary. At June 30, 2025, the balance of short-term and long-term restricted cash and cash equivalents of the Captive are $16.8 million and $70.3 million, respectively. We also recognized $0.3 million and $0.9 million provision for captive insurance liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, related to Captive's exposure for the insured risks. At June 30, 2025, the current and noncurrent captive insurance liability of $9.3 million and $9.1 million, respectively, are included in our condensed 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 2025 and 2052. Our future lease payments under the operating leases as of June 30, 2025 were $2.3 million.
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, 2025, we had outstanding aggregate performance bonds of $27.5 million and $1.0 million of unused letters of credit.
Investing Activities
Our capital expenditures increased $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The capital expenditures are mainly for the construction of solar projects at Genie Solar. We currently anticipate that our total capital expenditures in the twelve months ending December 31, 2025 will be between $10.0 million to $20.0 million mostly related to the solar projects of GREW.
In the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we acquired nominal interests in various ventures for an aggregate amount of investments of $$3.7 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we invested $1.1 million towards the improvement of an investment property we acquired in the third quarter of 2024.
In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we received $1.2 million from several investees for the return of our investments. There were no similar cash receipts in the six months ended June 30, 2024.
On November 3, 2023, we also signed an agreement to purchase from the then-owners of the 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 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 condensed 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.
Financing Activities
In the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we paid aggregate dividends of $0.150 per share to stockholders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock, or total aggregate dividends of $4.0 million and $4.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. On July 31, 2025 our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.075 per share on our Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The dividend will be paid on or about August 19, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 11, 2025.
On March 11, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a program for the repurchase of up to an aggregate of 7.0 million shares of our Class B common stock. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we acquired 286,137 Class B common stock under the stock purchase program for an aggregate amount of $4.6 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, we acquired 368,758 Class B common stock under the stock purchase program for an aggregate amount of $5.9 million. At June 30, 2025, 3.7 million shares of Class B common stock remained available for repurchase under the stock repurchase program.
In the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we paid $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to repurchase our Class B common stock of our Class B common stock tendered by our employees (including one officer) to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the lapsing of restrictions on awards of restricted stock and exercise of stock options. Such shares were repurchased by us based on their fair market value on the trading day immediately prior to the vesting date.
In July 2024, the Company acquired an investment property with an aggregate cost of $3.6 million. The investment property was acquired through a subsidiary in which the Company holds a 51.0% interest with the remaining 49.0% held by Howard Jonas, the Chairman of our Board of Directors. The Company paid $1.8 million to the seller of the interest and delivered a note payable to the seller in the amount of $1.8 million, payable in full on February 1, 2026. The note payable carries a 5.0% interest rate and interest is payable on maturity. In the third quarter of 2024, Howard Jonas, reimbursed the Company $0.9 million, representing the purchase price for his 49.0% share in the investment property and is included in the noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2025, $1.8 million was outstanding under the note payable with an effective interest rate of 5.0%.
On November 18, 2024, our subsidiary, SUT Holdings, LLC entered into a Term Loan Agreement with National Cooperative Bank, N.A. ("NCB") for $7.4 million (the "Term Loan"). The principal amount is payable in installments every January 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year starting on July 1, 2025. up to October 2031. Accrued interest on the unpaid balance is payable on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, calculated using the 3-Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") published by CME Group Benchmark Administration plus a margin of 2.0% computed on the basis of actual number of days over 360 days. We paid NCB a nonrefundable commitment fee equal to 1.0% of the total principal amount equivalent to $0.1 million. We have the right to prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part at any time as permitted under specific terms in the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan is secured by our operating solar systems located in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. The Term Loan is subject to various financial and negative covenants and at June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants. At June 30, 2025, there was $7.4 million outstanding under the Term Loan at a weighted average interest rate of 6.3%. We also entered into a Cash Management Agreement with NCB to manage the cash flows of the operations of collateralized solar projects. The Cash Management Agreement also provided certain restriction on certain cash accounts specified in the agreements. At June 30, 2025, an aggregate of $0.6 million are deposited in NCB and are subject to certain restrictions.
On December 13, 2018, we entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (“Credit Agreement”). On February 14, 2024, the Company entered into the third amendment of its existing Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of December 31, 2024. The aggregate principal amount was reduced to $3.0 million credit line facility (“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. We 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, 2025, there are $0.7 million in letters of credit issued by JP Morgan Chase Bank. At June 30, 2025, the cash collateral of $3.3 million was included in restricted cash—short-term in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Cash flows from discontinued operations
Cash provided by operating activities of discontinued operations was $2.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $7.0 million in the same period in 2024. The cash provided by operating activities of discontinued operations in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 pertains to the proceeds from the settlement of hedges of Lumo Sweden.
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, 2025 had remained the same as in the three months ended June 30, 2024, our gross profit from electricity would have increased by $13.5 million and our gross profit from natural gas would have increased $2.8 million. Hypothetically, for our GRE segment, if our gross profit per unit in the six months ended June 30, 2025 had remained the same as in the six months ended June 30, 2024, our gross profit from electricity would have increased by $18.8 million and our gross profit from natural gas would have increased by $1.3 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 revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. We recognized losses from derivative instruments of $4.0 million and $0.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and losses from derivative instruments of $8.4 million and $13.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
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, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Legal proceedings in which we are involved are more fully described in Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 to Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
There are no material changes from the risk factors included in the 2024 Form 10-K.
