SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla., Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --

Q4 2025 Adjusted EBITDA was $281 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $16 million in Q4 2024
Q4 2025 net income attributable to IEP was $1 million, compared to a net loss of $98 million in Q4 2024

Indicative Net Asset Value was approximately $3.2 billion as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of $654 million compared to September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $778 million of our long position in CVI and the Holding Company's net interest expense of $75 million. The decrease was offset in part by the positive performance from the Funds of $261 million

On February 23, 2026, the Board of Directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $0.50 per depositary unit, which will be paid on or about April 15, 2026 to depositary unitholders of record at the close of business on March 9, 2026.

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, and certain other non-operational or non-recurring 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.

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.

(1)	Represents GAAP equity attributable to IEP as of each respective date.
(2)	Based on closing share price on each date (or if such date was not a trading day, the immediately preceding trading day) and the number of shares owned by us as of each respective date.
(3)	Amount based on market comparables due to lack of material trading volume, valued at 9.0x Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended as December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, management no longer believed that the trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA, which had declined significantly and had been increasingly volatile, represented uniform performance and growth for the business or provides an accurate presentation of its value. For the periods ending September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025, management performed a valuation of Viskase with the assistance of third-party consultants to estimate fair-market value. This analysis utilized the average results of a discounted cashflow methodology and a guideline public company methodology. Different judgments or assumptions would result in different estimates of value. Viskase indicative net asset value is derived by allocating our portion of ownership to the total equity value.
(4)	For each period presented, management performed a valuation with the assistance of third-party consultants to estimate fair-market value, which utilized the average results of discounted cashflow and sales comparison methodologies. Different judgments or assumptions would result in different estimates of value. For certain properties under a purchase and sale agreement, indicative fair market value is based on the anticipated sales price adjusted for customary closing costs. In August 2025, certain properties were sold and as of September 30, 2025, the value of the consideration received and held in our Real Estate Segment consisted of preferred equity investment and debt and was used in the calculation of indicative fair value.
(5)	For each period presented, management performed a valuation of Icahn Automotive Group ("IAG"), including the Automotive Services business and Automotive Owned Real Estate, with the assistance of third party consultants to estimate fair value. This analysis utilized the average results of a discounted cashflow methodology and a guideline public company methodology. Different judgments or assumptions would result in different estimates of value. During the fourth quarter of 2025 the majority of the Automotive Owned Real Estate was transferred to the Real Estate Segment and as of December 31, 2025 are now presented in the Real Estate Segment line item. The Automotive Owned Real Estate for the actual properties transferred was valued at $679 and $652 for December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2025, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 for these properties, it was assumed that IAG would enter into triple net leases for each property for the entire space, including space occupied by third-party tenants and any vacant space that is available to rent, at rents estimated by management based on market conditions and utilized property-level market rents, location level profitability, and prevailing cap ranging from 7.0% to 9.25% as of December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, these properties were fair valued utilizing the average results of discounted cashflow and sales comparison methodologies for each property to estimate fair-market value. Different judgments or assumptions would result in different estimates of value.
(6)	Represents GAAP equity of the Holding Company Segment, excluding cash and cash equivalents, debt and non-cash deferred tax assets or liabilities. As of December 31, 2024, September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2025, Other Net Assets includes $10, $9, and $6 million respectively, of liabilities assumed from the Auto Plus bankruptcy.
