3 3 3 Cautionary Statements Regarding Oil and Gas Quantities The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms, and price and cost sensitivities for s uch reserves, and prohibits disclosure of resources that do not constitute such reserves. The Company uses the terms reserve or resource “potential,” “upside,” “oil and gas in place” or “OGIP,” “OIP” or “GIP,” and other descriptions of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that the SEC’s rules may prohibit the Company from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized b y the Company. 3

Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Financials Reconciliation of Non - GAAP Financial Measures In addition to including financial results that are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in th e United States of America (GAAP), Genie Energy ’ s investor presentation included Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non - GAAP financial 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 i ncl uded in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Genie ’ s measure of Adjusted EBITDA consists of gross profit less selling, general and administrative expense and research and devel opm ent expense. Another way of calculating Adjusted EBITDA is to start with income (loss) from operations and add (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) sev erance and other charges (3) Non - cash compensation. These additions and deductions are non - cash and/or non - routine items in the relevant 2016, 2014, and 2013 per iods. Management believes that Genie ’ s Adjusted EBITDA measure provides useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses and non - routine gains or losses that may not be indicative of Genie ’ 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 , m anagement uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate operating performance in relation to Genie ’ 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 operationa l d ecision - making. Adjusted EBITDA may also be an indicator of the strength and performance of Genie ’ s and the segment ’ s ongoing business operations, including the ability to fund capital expenditures, and meet working capital needs from current operations (as opposed to cash resources), and to incur and service de bt. Management refers to Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the GAAP measures gross profit and income (loss) from operations, on a segme nt and/or consolidated level to facilitate internal and external comparisons to the segments ’ and Genie's historical operating results, in making operating decisions, for budget and planning purposes, and to form the basis upon which management is compensated. Severance and other charges are also excluded in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Severance and other charges are reflecti ve of decisions made by management in each period regarding the aspects of Genie ’ s and its segments ’ businesses to be focused on in light of changing market realities and other factors. In addition, severance and other charges have substantially decreased and are expected to remain at reduced levels for the foreseeable fut ure . 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 Geni e ’ s core and continuing operations. The other calculation of Adjusted EBITDA consists of gross profit less selling, general and administrative expense, and resea rch and development expense. As the other excluded items are not reflected in this calculation, they are excluded automatically and there is no need to make addi tio nal adjustments. This calculation results in the same Adjusted EBITDA amount and its utility and significance is as explained above. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, gross profit, income (loss) fro m o perations, cash flow from operating activities, net income (loss) or other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In a ddi tion, Genie ’ s measurement of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Following are reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for both Genie Energy and the Genie Retail Energy segment. 15
