SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla., Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/

• Indicative Net Asset Value was approximately $3.5 billion as of September 30, 2026, an increase of $865 million compared to June 30, 2026. This increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $1.7 billion in the value of our long position in our majority owned subsidiary, CVI (which is currently valued at $4.2 billion¹), offset in part with a decrease of $522 million related to losses on refining hedges in the Investment Funds attributable to IEP.
• IEP declares third quarter distribution of $0.50 per depositary unit (the 86^th consecutive quarterly distribution since 2005).
• Net loss attributable to IEP was $225 million for Q3 2026, compared to net income of $287 million for Q3 2025. Q3 2026 net loss included $522 million of losses on refining hedges in the Investment Funds attributable to IEP but does not include the increase in value of approximately $1.7 billion from our long position in CVI.
• Adjusted EBITDA attributable to IEP was a loss of $214 million for Q3 2026, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $75 million for Q3 2025.

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, the performance of closed stores and including closing costs, Energy segment unrealized gains/losses on hedging contracts, unrealized gains/losses on Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) positions, Energy segment inventory revaluation, and certain other non-operational or non-recurring charges. The Energy segment’s basis for determining inventory value impacts are under a GAAP First-In, First-Out (“FIFO”) basis. Changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in a favorable inventory valuation impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable inventory valuation impact when crude oil prices decrease. The inventory valuation impact is calculated based upon inventory values at the beginning of the accounting period and at the end of the accounting period. 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 March 31, 2026, we modified our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the impacts of certain of our Energy segment results, including unrealized gains/losses on hedging contracts, unrealized gains/losses on RFS positions, and inventory revaluation. We believe that this revised presentation improves the supplemental information provided to our investors because management believes these are not attributable to or indicative of our underlying operational results of the period or that may obscure results and trends we deem useful and the significance of these measures have been disproportionately impacted by increased volatility in recent periods.

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.
