Analysis
Icahn Enterprises reported Q2 2026 revenues of $2,975 million, compared with $2,369 million in the prior-year quarter. Net sales were $3,081 million versus $2,143 million, while other revenues from operations were $175 million versus $172 million. These increases were offset in the consolidated result by a net loss from investment activities of $(334) million, compared with $(74) million in Q2 2025.
The consolidated loss widened materially. Net loss attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $(355) million, or a loss of $0.52 per depositary unit, compared with $(165) million, or a loss of $0.30 per depositary unit. Adjusted EBITDA loss attributable to IEP was $134 million, compared with Adjusted EBITDA attributable to IEP of $40 million. The company stated that its Q2 2025 Adjusted EBITDA presentation uses different exclusions from those used in prior presentations, including its prior presentation for Q2 2025.
Expense lines showed cost of goods sold of $2,883 million compared with $2,118 million, while selling, general and administrative expense was $203 million compared with $207 million. Interest expense was $121 million compared with $129 million. Income tax expense was $(2) million, versus an income tax benefit of $45 million in the prior-year quarter. Loss before income tax expense was $(386) million compared with $(246) million.
Indicative Net Asset Value was approximately $2.6 billion as of June 30, 2026, down $765 million from March 31, 2026. IEP attributed the decrease primarily to a $435 million decline in the value of its long CVI position and a $243 million decline related to the Holding Company’s interest in the Investment Funds, primarily driven by net losses from broad market hedges. Mr. Icahn described the quarter’s refining and hedge losses as affected by exceptional geopolitical events and pointed to a strong rebound in the refining investment during July.
For the first six months of 2026, revenues were $5,181 million compared with $4,236 million, and net loss attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $(814) million compared with $(587) million. IEP declared a $0.50 per depositary unit quarterly distribution, payable on or about September 23, 2026. No forward financial outlook was provided in the supplied filing text.
Management, verbatim
While I believe this strategy has generally served well in mitigating risk, our results this quarter were impacted by exceptional geopolitical events that disproportionately affected our long refining exposure versus crack spreads and other short refinery positions.
Carl C. Icahn, IEP Chairman
Importantly, the strong rebound in our refining investment during July underscores the temporary nature of these dislocations and highlights the timing differences that can occur between our underlying positions and related hedges.
Carl C. Icahn, IEP Chairman
In addition, we are continuing to right-size our hedge portfolio to better align with our underlying exposures.
Carl C. Icahn, IEP Chairman

Background
This is an SEC Form 8-K with Exhibit 99.1 covering Icahn Enterprises’ Q2 2026 financial results, indicative NAV, and a declared quarterly distribution.
Ticker impact
Icahn Enterprises reported Q2 2026 results, including an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $134 million and a $765 million drop in indicative NAV.
Near-term volatility risk is elevated given the large NAV decline and wider Adjusted EBITDA loss, partially offset by the $0.50/unit distribution.
The 8-K includes specific Q2 and YTD financial figures plus the NAV bridge (CVI long position and investment-fund hedges) and a concrete distribution schedule, which can drive positioning and valuation debate.
Market effects
Reinforces that hedge-driven mark-to-market swings can dominate results for diversified holding structures with refining exposure.
No clear regional transmission beyond US-listed MLP/holding-company sentiment.
Management attributes results to geopolitical events affecting refining vs crack spreads, which can influence global energy-linked positioning.
Counterpoint
The NAV decline is largely attributed to mark-to-market impacts (CVI value and hedge losses), and management points to a July rebound in refining as evidence of temporariness.
