Net loss attributable to Icahn Enterprises of $29 million, or $0.24 per depositary unit
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Icahn Enterprises of $356 million
Board approves quarterly distribution of $1.50 per depository unit


New York, NY - Icahn Enterprises L.P. (NASDAQ:IEP) is reporting Q1 2014 revenues were $5.0 billion and adjusted net income attributable to Icahn Enterprises, after adding back the loss on extinguishment of debt, was $92 million, or $0.77 per depositary unit. For Q1 2013, revenues were $5.4 billion and adjusted net income attributable to Icahn Enterprises, after deducting the gain on extinguishment of debt, was $274 million, or $2.49 per depositary unit. For Q1 2014, net loss attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $29 million, or $0.24 per depositary unit, as compared to net income of $277 million, or $2.50 per depositary unit, for Q1 2013. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $356 million for Q1 2014 compared to $618 million for Q1 2013. Adjusted EBIT attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $218 million for Q1 2014 compared to $507 million Q1 2013.

On May 5, 2014, the Board of Directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $1.50 per depositary unit. The quarterly distribution is payable in either cash or additional depositary units, at the election of each depositary unit holder and will be paid on or about June 30, 2014 to depositary unit holders of record at the close of business on May 19, 2014.

Mr. Icahn stated, “We are fully wedded to the activist model across all of our segments. This strategy has served us well over the last 14 years and we expect to continue this trend long into the future. While the first quarter produced somewhat modest results compared to the standards we hold out for ourselves, we believe that the second quarter is off to a great start with preliminary unaudited estimated adjusted net income1 attributable to Icahn Enterprises of over $200 million for April.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net Income

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its performance. These include non-GAAP EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net Income. EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense and depreciation and amortization. EBIT represents earnings before interest expense and income tax (benefit) expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT as EBITDA and EBIT, respectively, excluding the effects of impairment, restructuring costs, certain pension plan expenses, OPEB curtailment gains, purchase accounting inventory adjustments, certain share-based compensation, discontinued operations, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt, major scheduled turnaround expenses, FIFO adjustments and unrealized gains/losses on energy segment derivatives and certain other non-operational charges. We present EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT and Adjusted EBIT on a consolidated basis and attributable to Icahn Enterprises net of the effect of non-controlling interests. Adjusted Net Income is GAAP net income adjusted for certain items that management believes can provide useful supplemental information for investors in analyzing period to period comparisons of the company’s results. 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, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT and Adjusted EBIT 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, taxes and depreciation and amortization and the effects of impairment, restructuring costs, certain pension plan expenses, OPEB curtailment gains, purchase accounting inventory adjustments, certain share-based compensation, discontinued operations, gains/losses on extinguishment of debt, major scheduled turnaround expenses, FIFO adjustments and unrealized gains/losses on energy segment derivatives and certain other non-operational charges. We believe that providing Adjusted Net Income, which excludes certain items that affect period over period comparisons, also adds important supplemental information of our performance to investors. 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, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net Income present meaningful measures of performance exclusive of our capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired and financed.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net Income 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, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net Income:
    
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, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net Income differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. In addition, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net Income do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT, Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted Net Income 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, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT, Adjusted




EBIT and Adjusted Net Income 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 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 units as calculated by management.

See below for more information on how we calculate the Company’s indicative net asset value.
