Genie Energy reported a strong finish to the year with record fourth quarter and full-year revenue. The company's customer acquisition strategy led to growth in both RCEs and meters by over 30%. However, the company experienced a loss from operations due to a one-time non-cash charge for a loss reserve at Genie's newly established captive insurance operations.
Revenue increased by 28.9% to $104.9 million.
Gross profit decreased by 3.1% to $33.6 million.
The company reported a loss from operations of $34.2 million, which includes a one-time $45.1 million non-cash charge.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $163.4 million.
Genie Energy anticipates Adjusted EBITDA to be within the $40 to $50 million range, which will allow for cash reserve building, strategic investments, and continued dividend payments. GRE is expected to continue growing its customer base and generate Adjusted EBITDA above historical norms. GREW will initially fund its solar projects with cash and expects to benefit from organizational upgrades.
