MANAGEMENT COMMENTS
 
Claude Pupkin, Genie Energy’s CEO, said, “Genie’s retail energy provider business, IDT Energy, continued to rapidly expand its customer base.  At Genie Oil and Gas, the AMSO pilot test has been delayed to improve the expected reliability of the underground heater by addressing issues identified in the commissioning process earlier this year.”

Geoff Rochwarger, Vice Chairman of Genie Energy and CEO of IDT Energy, said, “The second quarter is a shoulder period between the peak heating and cooling seasons and typically generates our lowest revenues and profits of the year.  Nevertheless, IDT Energy continued to benefit from our growing customer base with increased revenue and gross profit compared to the year ago quarter.  We also again invested heavily in customer acquisitions - adding 20,000 net new meters.  Following the close of the quarter, we began operations in our fourth state, Maryland.”

EXCHANGE OFFER
 
On August 2, 2012, Genie initiated an offer to exchange up to 8,750,000 outstanding shares of its Class B Common Stock for the same number of shares of a new series of preferred stock.  The preferred stock will have a liquidation preference of $8.50 per share, and dividend rights that are senior to dividends on the common stock, in an annual amount of $0.6375 per share, plus the potential for an increase in the dividend related to the performance of Genie’s retail energy provider business.  The preferred stock will be redeemable by Genie after four years at a premium and after five years at the liquidation preference plus accrued dividends.

The exchange offer is made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2012. The offer will expire at 5:00 p.m. EST, on Wednesday, September 5, 2012, unless extended by Genie.

DIVIDEND
 
Genie will pay a cash dividend of $0.05 per share on August 28, 2012 to stockholders of Class A and Class B Common stock as of the record date, August 20, 2012.  The ex-dividend date will be August 16, 2012.  Genie anticipates that following the payment of this dividend, dividends on the common stock will be suspended indefinitely in connection with the exchange offer and the issuance of the new preferred stock. For tax purposes, the $0.05 per share payment will be treated as a return of capital and not as a dividend.
 
BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW HIGHLIGHTS
 
As of June 30, 2012, Genie Energy had $144.7 million in total assets including $98.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities.  Genie Energy’s liabilities totaled $27.4 million, with no long term debt outstanding.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.1 million during 2Q12, compared to $5.4 million during 2Q11.

*EBITDA for all periods presented is a non-GAAP measure representing income (loss) from operations exclusive of depreciation.  It is one of several key metrics used by management to evaluate the operating performance of Genie Energy and its individual business units.

Genie Energy’s revenues, direct costs of revenues, and gross profit are generated entirely by its retail energy provider business.  Please see the results of the retail energy provider segment, IDT Energy, below.

SG&A expenses increased 54.2% year over year to $13.0 million in 2Q12.  The increase primarily reflects both increased customer acquisition costs and related marketing expense at IDT Energy, and the incremental expenses associated with being a separate public company following Genie’s spin-off from IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) in October 2011.

Research and development expense during 2Q12, all of which was incurred by Genie Oil and Gas, was $2.8 million, a 51.9% increase year over year.  The increase was primarily due to increased design and engineering expenses related to preparations for IEI’s pilot test and increases in spending related to our global exploration and technology development activities.
 
Genie Energy generated negative EBITDA of $5.0 million in 2Q12, compared to a negative EBITDA of $2.6 million in 2Q11. EBITDA was adversely impacted by the continued investment in new customer acquisitions at IDT Energy and the increase in GOGAS’ research and development expense, partially offset by the increase in gross profit at IDT Energy.

Interest expenses and financing fees, net, were $0.6 million in 2Q12, primarily reflecting the volumetric financing fees charged by IDT Energy’s preferred supplier.  The benefit from income taxes was $1.9 million in 2Q12.

The net loss attributable to Genie Energy was $3.3 million ($0.15 loss per diluted share) in 2Q12 compared to a loss of $2.3 million ($0.11 loss per diluted share) in the year ago period.

During 2Q12 IDT Energy entered an additional electric territory in Pennsylvania, West Penn Power, with an addressable market of approximately seven hundred thousand meters, and now offers electric service in substantially all of Pennsylvania.

At June 30, 2012, IDT Energy had approximately 495,000 meters enrolled, an increase of 25% year over year. Net of churn, IDT Energy enrolled 20,000 meters in 2Q12 compared to 19,000 in 2Q11 and 37,000 in 1Q12. Comparable period gross additions were 101,000 in 2Q12 compared to 69,000 in 2Q11 and 108,000 in 1Q12.

Average monthly churn was 6.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 5.2% in 2Q11 and 6.4% in 1Q12.  IDT Energy’s rebate programs keyed to new customer acquisition and retention have dampened the impact of key drivers of churn - accelerated customer acquisition in recent quarters and intensified competition in some utility territories - resulting in relatively stable churn rates throughout the first half of 2012.
 
IDT Energy’s residential customer equivalents (RCE’s) increased 25% to 292,000 at June 30, 2012 compared to 234,000 a year earlier.

Electric RCEs increased 52% to 204,000 at June 30, 2012 compared to the year ago level reflecting new meter acquisitions and increasing average consumption per meter as IDT Energy added higher consumption electric meters predominantly in Pennsylvania.
 
Natural gas RCEs decreased 11% year over year to 88,000.  The decline in gas RCEs primarily reflects the unseasonably mild winter’s impact on the 12 month gas consumption histories that are the basis for calculating any meter portfolio’s RCEs.
 
IDT Energy’s revenues during the first quarter of 2012 increased 10.6% to $42.8 million from $38.7 million in the year ago quarter.
 
Electric revenues increased 23.7% to $35.4 million, reflecting a 70.4% year over year increase in kWh sold to IDT Energy’s growing customer base.  The increase in kWh sold more than offset a significant decline in average revenue per kWh of electricity sold reflecting lower market rates for electricity compared to the same period a year ago.  Market rates for electricity have stabilized recently, and revenue per kWh decreased by just 1% compared to the sequential quarter.
 
Natural gas revenues were $7.4 million during 2Q12, a 26.4% decrease compared to 2Q11.  Average revenue per therm sold decreased 25.1% compared to the year ago quarter, as market rates for natural gas fell sharply. In addition, therms sold declined 1.7% reflecting lower consumption per meter which more than offset the modest increase in gas meters.
 
Gross profit increased to $11.6 million in 2Q12 compared to $9.8 million in 2Q11.
 
Gross margin during 2Q12 was 27.2%, a 180 basis point increase year over year as an increase in the gross margin for gas sales more than compensated for a decline in the gross margin of electric sales.  For electric sales, IDT Energy’s significant increase in kWh sold more than compensated for a decline in margin per kWh sold. Average sales per kWh declined more rapidly than the underlying commodity cost reflecting the impact of discounts and promotions rates for new customers as well as intensifying competition in some utility territories.
 
IDT Energy’s SG&A expense during 2Q12 was $10.6 million, a 33.6% increase year over year, but a slight decrease of 0.7% sequentially.  The $2.7 million year over year increase was due predominantly to increased customer acquisition costs.  Customer acquisition costs increased as a result of accelerated gross meter additions (32,000 more gross meter adds in 2Q12 compared to 2Q11) and higher per meter acquisition costs.  Non-cash employee compensation expense accounted for a significant portion of the remaining SG&A increase.
 
IDT Energy generated $1.1 million in EBITDA and income from operations during 2Q12, a $0.8 million decrease year over year.  The reduction was substantially the result of increased customer acquisition expenses partially offset by increases in revenue and gross profit.
 
Genie Oil and Gas (GOGAS)
 
GOGAS generates no revenue.  GOGAS operating expenses consist primarily of research and development expenses incurred by Israel Energy Initiatives, Ltd. (IEI), and by its global resource exploration, intellectual property development and other business development efforts.  GOGAS accounts for its investment in AMSO, LLC using the equity method. 
 
During 2Q12, GOGAS reported $3.0 million of combined R&D and G&A expenses, a 32.8% increase compared to the year ago quarter reflecting an increase in R&D investment at IEI and in global exploration and business development efforts.  Equity in the net loss of AMSO was $0.9 million in 2Q12 compared to $2.2 million in the year ago quarter reflecting the lower levels of spending associated with the completion of pilot plant construction. GOGAS’ loss from operations was $3.9 million for 2Q12 compared to $4.4 million in 2Q11.

IEI holds an exclusive Oil Shale Exploration and Production license covering 238 square kilometers in the Shfela basin region in Israel.  

During 2Q12, the government of Israel promulgated new regulations pursuant to Section 47 of its Petroleum Law.  The regulations clarify the regulatory process for oil and gas exploration including the processes for permitting construction of surface facilities and drilling. IEI is preparing key pilot test permit applications consistent with the new regulations.  The permits must be obtained before pilot test construction can begin, and they are not likely to be issued before early next year.  In the interim, IEI continues to perform resource appraisal work as well as key design and engineering functions necessary for the construction of test facilities.  IEI has been named as one of several defendants in litigation before the Supreme Court of Israel seeking to overturn the revised regulations.  The Court, however, rejected the petitioner’s request for an injunction, and the responses are due in September
 
AMSO, LLC is a joint venture oil shale exploration and production initiative with Total, S.A. operating pursuant to a federal Research, Development and Demonstration lease on federal lands in Colorado.

Over the past two years, AMSO, LLC has constructed a pilot facility designed to validate key characteristics of its in-situ oil shale recovery process and has received all permits required for pilot test operations. In January 2012, AMSO, LLC initiated a fully integrated commissioning test of the above and below ground pilot test facilities to determine their readiness for operations.  

The manufacturer of the underground heater is currently modifying its equipment to address issues that arose during the pilot test commissioning process and which were confirmed during subsequent factory acceptance testing.  The modifications and improvements are intended to enhance the expected reliability of the heater during the pilot test and could be completed as early as this fall.

Either before or after the pilot test is launched, additional heater modifications may be required.  AMSO, LLC may also encounter additional technical delays before operating the pilot on a sustained basis.  Equipment modifications and technical issues are common in projects of the complexity and scope of the AMSO, LLC pilot test, particularly given the extent to which new concepts and applications are incorporated into the pilot test's design.
