- First quarter Adjusted EBITDA attributable to IEP of
$134 million, an increase of
$39 million over prior year
quarter

Financial Summary
(Net loss and Adjusted
EBITDA figures in commentary below are attributable to Icahn
Enterprises, unless otherwise specified)
For the three months ended March 31,
2024, revenues were $2.5
billion and net loss was $38
million, or a loss of $0.09
per depositary unit. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenues were $2.7 billion and net loss was $270 million, or a loss of $0.75 per depositary unit. Adjusted EBITDA was
$134 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2024, compared to an
Adjusted EBITDA of $95 million for
the three months ended March 31,
2023.
As of March 31, 2024, indicative
net asset value increased $194
million compared to December 31,
2023, primarily driven by the increase in value of CVR
Energy, offset in part by hedging activity in the Funds.
On May 6, 2024, the Board of
Directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises declared a
quarterly distribution in the amount of $1.00 per depositary unit, which will be paid on
or about June 25, 2024, to depositary
unitholders of record at the close of business on May 20, 2024. Depositary unitholders will have
until June 12, 2024, to make a timely
election to receive either cash or additional depositary units. If
a unitholder does not make a timely election, it will automatically
be deemed to have elected to receive the distribution in additional
depositary units. Depositary unitholders who elect to receive (or
who are deemed to have elected to receive) additional depositary
units will receive units valued at the volume weighted average
trading price of the units during the five consecutive
trading days ending June 20,
2024. Icahn Enterprises will make a cash payment in lieu of
issuing fractional depositary units to any unitholders electing to
receive (or who are deemed to have elected to receive) depositary
units.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in
evaluating its performance. These include non-GAAP EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA represents earnings from continuing
operations before net interest expense (excluding our Investment
segment), income tax (benefit) expense and depreciation and
amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding certain
effects of impairment, restructuring costs, transformation costs,
certain pension plan expenses, gains/losses on disposition of
assets, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt and certain other
non-operational charges. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA on a
consolidated basis and on a basis attributable to Icahn Enterprises
net of the effects of non-controlling interests. We conduct
substantially all of our operations through subsidiaries. The
operating results of our subsidiaries may not be sufficient to make
distributions to us. In addition, our subsidiaries are not
obligated to make funds available to us for payment of our
indebtedness, payment of distributions on our depositary units or
otherwise, and distributions and intercompany transfers from our
subsidiaries to us may be restricted by applicable law or covenants
contained in debt agreements and other agreements to which these
subsidiaries currently may be subject or into which they may enter
into in the future. The terms of any borrowings of our subsidiaries
or other entities in which we own equity may restrict dividends,
distributions or loans to us.
We believe that providing EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to
investors has economic substance as these measures provide
important supplemental information of our performance to investors
and permits investors and management to evaluate the core operating
performance of our business without regard to interest (except with
respect to our Investment segment), taxes and depreciation and
amortization and certain effects of impairment, restructuring
costs, certain pension plan expenses, gains/losses on disposition
of assets, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt and certain other
non-operational charges. Additionally, we believe this information
is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other
interested parties in the evaluation of companies that have issued
debt. Management uses, and believes that investors benefit from
referring to, these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our
operating results, as well as in planning, forecasting and
analyzing future periods. Adjusting earnings for these charges
allows investors to evaluate our performance from period to period,
as well as our peers, without the effects of certain items that may
vary depending on accounting methods and the book value of assets.
Additionally, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA present meaningful
measures of performance exclusive of our capital structure and the
method by which assets were acquired and financed. Effective
December 31, 2023, we modified our
calculation of EBITDA to exclude the impact of net interest expense
from the Investment segment. This change has been applied to all
periods presented. We believe that this revised presentation
improves the supplemental information provided to our investors
because interest expense within the Investment segment is
associated with its core operations of investment activity rather
than representative of its capital structure.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools,
and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes
for analysis of our results as reported under generally accepted
accounting principles in the United
States, or U.S. GAAP. For example, EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA:
- do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements
for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments;
- do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our
working capital needs; and
- do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash
requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on
our debt.
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the
assets being depreciated or amortized often will have to be
replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not
reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Other
companies in the industries in which we operate may calculate
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting
their usefulness as comparative measures. In addition, EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of earnings or
charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of
our ongoing operations.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial
performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as
alternatives to net income or any other performance measures
derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as alternatives to cash
flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Given
these limitations, we rely primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and
use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only as a supplemental measure of
our financial performance.
Use of Indicative Net Asset Value Data
The Company uses indicative net asset value as an additional
method for considering the value of the Company's assets, and we
believe that this information can be helpful to investors. Please
note, however, that the indicative net asset value does not
represent the market price at which the depositary units trade.
Accordingly, data regarding indicative net asset value is of
limited use and should not be considered in isolation.
The Company's depositary units are not redeemable, which means
that investors have no right or ability to obtain from the Company
the indicative net asset value of units that they own. Units may be
bought and sold on The Nasdaq Global Select Market at prevailing
market prices. Those prices may be higher or lower than the
indicative net asset value of the depositary units as calculated by
management.
See below for more information on how we calculate the Company's
indicative net asset value.

Indicative net asset
value does not purport to reflect a valuation of IEP. The
calculated indicative net asset value does not include any value
for our Investment Segment other than the fair market value of our
investment in the Investment Funds. A valuation is a subjective
exercise and indicative net asset value does not necessarily
consider all elements or consider in the adequate proportion the
elements that could affect the valuation of IEP. Investors may
reasonably differ on what such elements are and their impact
on IEP. No representation or assurance, express or implied, is
made as to the accuracy and correctness of indicative net asset
value as of these dates or with respect to any future indicative or
prospective results which may
vary.

Management performed a
valuation on the owned real-estate with the assistance of
third-party consultants to estimate fair-market-value. This
analysis utilized property-level market rents, location level
profitability, and utilized prevailing cap rates ranging from
7.0% to 10.0% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The
valuation assumed that triple net leases are in place for all the
locations at rents estimated by management based on market
conditions. There is no assurance we would be able to sell the
assets on the timeline or at the prices and lease terms we
estimate. Different judgments or assumptions would result in
different estimates of the value of these real estate assets.
Moreover, although we evaluate and provide our indicative net asset
value on a regular basis, the estimated values may fluctuate in the
interim, so that any actual transaction could result in a higher or
lower valuation.
