COMMENTS OF MICHAEL STEIN, CEO OF GENIE ENERGY
"Genie Retail Energy performed extremely well again this quarter, generating over $10 million in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. Compared to the year ago quarter, the impact of moderating gross margins was offset by increased sales volumes and prices, while a decrease in customer acquisition expense drove the increase in the business's operating income and Adjusted EBITDA contribution.
"Genie Retail Energy's joint venture in the UK successfully completed its regulatorily mandated controlled market entry period and is now beginning to roll out its customer acquisition program. We are exploring additional growth opportunities in international markets even as we continue to expand our domestic geographic footprint. This quarter, we entered our thirteenth and fourteenth states.
"On a consolidated basis, EPS increased to $0.24 from $0.18, reflecting Genie Retail Energy's solid quarter matched with the decrease in oil and gas exploration expense following the suspension of drilling activities at our Afek subsidiary."

** Genie Energy's Afek Oil & Gas subsidiary accounts for its oil and gas exploration activities under the "successful
efforts" method of accounting. Under this method, acquisition costs, costs of drilling exploratory wells, and exploratory-
type stratigraphic test wells are capitalized on the balance sheet as "Capitalized exploration costs - unproved oil and gas
property" pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves. Exploration costs, other than exploration
drilling costs, are charged to expense in the statement of operations as "Exploration expense".
*** Genie Energy accounts for its investment in Genie UK, its joint venture operating in the UK, under the equity method
of accounting. Under this method Genie Energy records its share in the net income or loss of the joint venture. Therefore,
revenues generated, and expenses incurred by the joint venture are not reflected in Genie Energy's consolidated revenues
and expenses.
BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS
At March 31, 2018, Genie Energy had $125.2 million in total assets, including $38.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Liabilities totaled $53.5 million and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) totaled $40.3 million.
DIVIDEND ON GENIE ENERGY COMMON STOCK
Genie Energy's Board of Directors has declared a 1Q18 dividend of $0.075 per share of Class A and Class B common stock with a record date of May 15, 2018. The dividend will be paid on or about May 23, 2018. The distribution will be treated as an ordinary dividend for income tax purposes.

Genie Retail Energy (GRE)
Genie Retail Energy's customer base as measured in residential customer equivalents (RCEs) decreased to 285,000 at March 31, 2018 from 287,000 a year earlier and 301,000 at the end of 2017, while meters served decreased to 373,000 from 418,000 a year ago and from 412,000 at December 31(st). The decreases reflect the regulatorily mandated return of low-income customers in New York served by retail energy providers (REPs) to the incumbent utilities as well as GRE's strategic decision to pull back customer acquisition efforts in certain territories.
Gross meter acquisitions decreased to 55,000 from 84,000 in the year ago quarter and 62,000 in the prior quarter as customer acquisition programs shifted to emphasize higher value customers while avoiding certain riskier jurisdictions. This shift has led to a steady increase in average customer size over the past year.

The mandated return of low-income customers in New York drove an increase in GRE's average monthly customer churn to 7.6% from 6.1% in the year ago quarter and 6.9% in the prior quarter. Exclusive of the impact of these low-income customers, churn in the first quarter would have been comparable to churn in recent quarters.
Meters enrolled in offerings with fixed rate characteristics constituted approximately 34% of GRE's total load during March 2018 reflecting the growing popularity of fixed rate programs.
GRE generated all of Genie Energy's revenue and gross profit.
GRE's revenue increased to $89.3 million from $71.4 million on higher prices and volumes sold for both electricity and natural gas.
Revenue from electricity sales increased to $65.3 million from $53.0 million reflecting both a 12.2% increase in kilowatt hours sold (primarily attributable to higher per-meter consumption) and a 9.9% increase in average revenue per kilowatt hour sold.
Natural gas sales increased to $23.4 million from $17.9 million reflecting a 22.9% increase in therms sold and a 6.2% increase in average revenue per therm sold reflecting higher natural gas commodity prices. The increase in therms sold reflects an increase in average consumption per gas meter, including the impact of the acquisition of Mirabito Natural Gas in August, 2017 and subsequent sales of gas to its commercial customer base.
GRE's gross margin percentage decreased to 27.4% from 34.8% as cost per commodity unit increased more rapidly than revenue per unit sold of both electricity and natural gas.
GRE's SG&A expense decreased to $13.6 million from $15.9 million reflecting the reduction in customer acquisition costs due to the significant reduction in gross meter acquisitions.
GRE's income from operations increased to $10.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $10.9 million from $9.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively, primarily reflecting the decrease in customer acquisition costs.
Genie Retail Energy - New York Regulatory Update
Pursuant to the December 2016 order of the New York State Public Service Commission prohibiting REPs in New York State from serving customers enrolled in utility low-income assistance programs (low-income customers), GRE returned 18,700 meters (representing approximately 10,600 RCEs) to their incumbent utilities in 1Q18.
Separately, the NY PSC is conducting an evidentiary proceeding to study the REP industry and competitive retail energy markets. Hearings were held in November and December of 2017, and final briefs from interested parties were filed on April 30(th).
The New York Court of Appeals has agreed to hear a REP industry appeal of a lower court's finding that the NY PSC has the legal authority to regulate rates charged by REPs. A decision is not expected before late summer.
Afek
In November 2017, Genie Energy's Afek Oil and Gas subsidiary suspended drilling operations in Northern Israel based on preliminary analysis of results from its Ness 10 exploratory well. Subsequent analysis by an outside consultant indicates that a zone within the Ness 10 well contains evidence of hydrocarbons at levels sufficient to warrant additional testing. Accordingly, Afek is pursuing a renewal of its exploratory license from the Ministry of Energy for the Northern portion of its former license area. Subject to regulatory approvals, Afek expects to obtain definitive test results as early as the third quarter.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the First Quarter 2018 and 2017
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), Genie Energy also disclosed for the first quarter of 2018, as well as for comparable periods, Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Genie Energy's measure of Adjusted EBITDA consists of gross profit less selling, general and administrative expense, exploration expense and equity in the net loss of joint venture, plus depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation (which are included in selling, general and administrative expense). Another way of calculating Adjusted EBITDA is to start with income (loss) from operations and add depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and the write-off of capitalized exploration costs.
Management believes that Genie Energy's Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of Genie Energy's or the relevant segment's core operating results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, among other measures, as a relevant indicator of core operational strengths in its financial and operational decision making. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance in relation to Genie Energy's competitors. Disclosure of this financial measure may be useful to investors in evaluating performance and allows for greater transparency to the underlying supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. In addition, Genie Energy has historically reported Adjusted EBITDA and believes it is commonly used by readers of financial information in assessing performance, therefore the inclusion of comparative numbers provides consistency in financial reporting at this time.
Management refers to Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the GAAP measures gross profit, income (loss) from operations and net income (loss), on a segment and/or consolidated level to facilitate internal and external comparisons to the segments' and Genie Energy's historical operating results, in making operating decisions, for budget and planning purposes, and to form the basis upon which management is compensated.
Although depreciation and amortization are considered operating costs under GAAP, they primarily represent the non-cash current period allocation of costs associated with long-lived assets acquired or constructed in prior periods. While Genie Energy's oil and gas exploration business may be capital intensive, Genie Energy does not expect to incur significant depreciation or depletion expense for the foreseeable future. Genie Energy's operating results exclusive of depreciation and amortization is therefore a useful indicator of its current performance.
Stock-based compensation recognized by Genie Energy and other companies may not be comparable because of the various valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of types of awards that are permitted under GAAP. Stock-based compensation is excluded from Genie Energy's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA because management believes this allows investors to make more meaningful comparisons of the operating results of Genie Energy's core business with the results of other companies. However, stock-based compensation will continue to be a significant expense for Genie Energy for the foreseeable future and an important part of employees' compensation that impacts their performance.
The write-off of capitalized exploration costs, which is a component of income (loss) from operations, is also excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. The write-off of capitalized exploration costs is primarily dictated by events and circumstances outside the control of management that trigger an impairment analysis. While there may be similar charges in other periods, the nature and magnitude of these charges can fluctuate markedly and do not reflect the performance of Genie Energy's continuing operations.
Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, gross profit, income (loss) from operations, cash flow from operating activities, net income (loss), basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share or other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Genie Energy's measurements of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Following is the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is income (loss) from operations for Genie Energy's reportable segments and net income (loss) for Genie Energy on a consolidated basis.
