Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our present business and the results of operations together with our present financial condition. This section should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025 (this “Report”), as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2025.
Executive Overview
Introduction
Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“Icahn Enterprises”) is a master limited partnership formed in Delaware on February 17, 1987 and headquartered in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. We are a diversified holding company owning subsidiaries currently engaged in the following continuing operating businesses: Investment, Energy, Automotive, Food Packaging, Real Estate, Home Fashion and Pharma. We also report the results of our Holding Company, which includes the results of certain subsidiaries of Icahn Enterprises (unless otherwise noted), and investment activity and expenses associated with our Holding Company. References to “we,” “our,” “us” or “the Company” herein include Icahn Enterprises and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.
Icahn Enterprises owns a 99% limited partner interest in Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. (“Icahn Enterprises Holdings”). Icahn Enterprises Holdings and its subsidiaries own substantially all of our assets and liabilities and conduct substantially all of our operations. Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc. (“Icahn Enterprises GP”), which is indirectly owned and controlled by Mr. Carl C. Icahn, owns a 1% general partner interest in each of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings as of September 30, 2025 representing an aggregate 1.99% general partner interest in Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings. Mr. Icahn and his affiliates owned approximately 86% of Icahn Enterprises’ outstanding depositary units as of September 30, 2025.
Recent Developments
Energy
In August 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) issued a decision document to a subsidiary of our Energy segment, Wynnewood Refining Company, LLC (“WRC”), affirming the validity of its previous grant of WRC’s petitions for small refinery hardship relief under the Renewal Fuel Standards (“RFS”) for WRC’s 2017 and 2018 compliance periods, granting 100 percent waivers for WRC’s 2019 and 2021 compliance periods and granting 50 percent waivers for its 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024 compliance periods (the “2025 SRE Decision”). Based on this decision, WRC’s obligation for the 2020 through 2024 compliance periods were reduced by more than 424 million RINs, representing approximately $488 million. Refer to Note 16 “Commitments and Contingencies” of these condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Further, during the third quarter of 2025, our Energy segment decided to revert the renewable diesel unit (“RDU”) back to hydrocarbon processing service at its next scheduled catalyst change in December 2025, given unfavorable economics of the renewables business and to relieve certain logistical constraints within the refining business. CVR Energy expects to maintain the option to switch back to renewable diesel service if economically incentivized to do so.
Viskase Private Placement
In March and September 2025, Viskase completed equity private placements whereby we acquired an additional 7,142,858 and 7,042,254 shares of Viskase common stock for a purchase price of $15 million and $5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we owned approximately 92% of the total outstanding common stock of Viskase.

Viskase Merger Agreement
On June 20, 2025, Viskase, our majority owned subsidiary, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Enzon”), of which we own 36,056,636 shares of common stock, which represents approximately 49% of the outstanding common stock of Enzon, and 39,277 shares of Enzon’s Series C Non-Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, which represents approximately 98% of the outstanding shares of such preferred stock, and Icahn Enterprises Holdings and certain of its affiliates entered into a Support Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, it agreed to vote its shares of Enzon and Viskase in favor of the merger. On October 24, 2025, Enzon and Viskase entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, and Enzon, Viskase and Icahn Enterprises Holdings entered into Amendment No 1. to the Support Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as amended and the Support Agreement, as amended, each share of Viskase common stock and each share of Enzon’s Series C Non-Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock held by us will be converted into shares of Enzon common stock. Following the consummation of the merger, it is anticipated that the combined company will operate under the name “Viskase Holdings, Inc.” The merger is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to approval by Enzon’s stockholders and other customary closing conditions. Following the completion of the merger, we anticipate that we will own between approximately 92% and 93% of the combined company, with our ultimate ownership percentage dependent upon the number of shares of Enzon Series C Non-Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock elected to be converted into shares of Enzon common stock by holders other than us.
Real Estate
In August 2025, our Real Estate segment sold certain properties for total consideration, included loan origination fees, of $247 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain on disposition of assets of $223 million. Refer to Note 2 “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 3 “Related Party Transactions” of these condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Potential Strategic Transactions
As previously disclosed, we are considering, with CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy”), potential strategic transactions available to CVR Energy and its subsidiaries, which may include the acquisition of additional entities, assets or businesses, including the acquisition of material amounts of refining assets through negotiated mergers and/or stock or asset purchase agreements by CVR Energy or its subsidiaries, and/or strategic options involving CVR Partners, LP, a controlled subsidiary of CVR Energy (“CVR Partners”). There is no assurance that any of the aforementioned or previously disclosed or other transactions will develop or materialize, or if they do, as to their timing. As of September 30, 2025 we own approximately 70% of the total outstanding common stock of CVR Energy and approximately 3% of the total outstanding common units of CVR Partners. As of September 30, 2025, CVR Energy, through its subsidiaries, held approximately 37% of CVR Partners’ outstanding common units and 100% of CVR Partners’ general partner interests.
Automotive Real Estate
In October 2025, our Automotive segment completed the transfer of a group of owned real estate properties to our Real Estate segment. Refer to Note 18 “Subsequent Events” of these condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Results of Operations
Consolidated Financial Results
Our operating businesses comprise consolidated subsidiaries which operate in various industries and are managed on a decentralized basis. In addition to our Investment segment’s revenues from investment transactions, revenues for our operating businesses primarily consist of net sales of various products, services revenue, franchisor operations and leasing of real estate. Due to the structure and nature of our business, we primarily discuss the results of operations by individual reporting segment in order to better understand our consolidated operating performance. In addition to the summarized financial results below, refer to Note 12, “Segment Reporting,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of each of our reporting segment’s results of continuing operations to our consolidated results.
Potential supply chain disruptions, geopolitical and economic instability, volatility in energy prices, the impacts of
increasing electric vehicles and liquid natural gas and other improvements in fuel efficiencies and changes in regulatory policies could adversely affect operations, in particular in our Energy segment. Our ability to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities in the current commodity price environment, sell non-core assets, access capital markets, incur additional debt or take any other action to improve our liquidity is subject to the risks discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere in our periodic reports and the other risks and uncertainties that exist in our industry, and depends on our future operational performance, which is subject to general economic, political, financial, competitive, and other factors, some of which may be beyond our control. Furthermore, shifts in demand and tightening credit market conditions could impact our financial stability. Increased tariffs, both by the U.S. and globally, ongoing and future trade conflicts and changes in U.S. economic trade policy, and economic uncertainly has led to increased volatility. The impact of tariffs and associated impacts on global trade have not significantly affected our operating businesses as of September 30, 2025.
The comparability of our summarized consolidated financial results presented below is affected primarily by the performance of the Investment Funds and the results of operations of our Energy segment, impacted by the demand and pricing for its products. Refer to our respective segment discussions and “Other Consolidated Results of Operations,” below for further discussion.

Investment
We invest our proprietary capital through various private investment funds (“Investment Funds”). As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had investments with a fair market value of approximately $2.4 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively in the Investment Funds. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total fair market value of investments in the Investment Funds made by Mr. Icahn and his affiliates (excluding us and Brett Icahn) was approximately $0.8 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, Mr. Icahn and his affiliates have pledged approximately $513 million of interests in the Investment Funds.
Our Investment segment’s results of operations are reflected in net income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Our Investment segment’s net income (loss) is driven by the amount of funds allocated to the Investment Funds and the performance of the underlying investments in the Investment Funds. Future funds allocated to the Investment Funds may increase or decrease based on the contributions and redemptions by our Holding Company, Mr. Icahn and his affiliates and by Brett Icahn, Mr. Icahn’s son. Additionally, historical performance results of the Investment Funds are not indicative of future results as past market conditions, investment opportunities and investment decisions may not occur in the future. Changes in general market conditions coupled with changes in exposure to short and long positions have significant impact on our Investment segment’s results of operations and the comparability of results of operations year over year and as such, future results of operations will be impacted by our future exposures and future market conditions, which may not be consistent with prior trends. Refer to the “Investment Segment Liquidity” section of our “Liquidity and Capital Resources” discussion for additional information regarding our Investment segment’s exposure as of September 30, 2025.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Investment Funds’ negative performance was primarily driven by net losses in short positions, offset in part by net gains in long positions. The negative performance of our Investment segment’s short positions was driven primarily by net losses in the energy sector of $178 million and net losses from broad market hedges of $147 million. The positive performance of our Investment segment’s long positions was primarily driven by net gains from the communications and utilities sectors of $304 million.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Investment Funds’ positive performance was primarily driven by net gains in long positions, which includes the impact of derivatives, offset in part by net losses in short positions. The positive performance of our Investment segment’s long positions was driven primarily by net gains from the healthcare and utilities sectors of $332 million. The negative performance of our Investment segment’s short positions was primarily driven by losses from the materials and utilities sectors of $158 million and losses from the broad market hedges of $129 million, partially offset by gains in the energy sector of $157 million.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Investment Funds’ negative performance was primarily driven by net losses in short positions, offset in part by net gains in long positions. The negative performance of our Investment segment’s short positions was primarily driven by net losses from the energy sector of $292 million and net losses from broad market hedges of $210 million. The positive performance of our Investment segment’s long positions was driven primarily by net gains from the communications and utilities sectors of $452 million, offset in part by net losses from the healthcare, industrial and materials sectors of $366 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Investment Funds’ negative performance was primarily driven by net losses in short positions, offset in part by net gains in long positions. The negative performance of our Investment segment’s short positions was driven primarily by net losses in broad market hedges of $292 million and net losses in the utilities and materials sectors of $205 million, offset in part by gains from the energy sector of $211 million. The positive performance of our Investment segment’s long positions was driven primarily by net gains in the utilities sector of $266 million, offset in part by net losses in the energy sector of $227 million.
Energy
Our Energy segment is primarily engaged in the petroleum refining, renewable fuels and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing businesses. The petroleum business accounted for approximately 89% and 91% of our Energy segment’s net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The results of operations of the petroleum business are primarily affected by the relationship between refined product prices and the prices for crude oil and other feedstocks that are processed and blended into petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel that are produced by a refinery (“Refined Products”). The cost to acquire crude oil and other feedstocks and the price for which Refined Products are ultimately sold depend on factors beyond our Energy segment’s control, including the supply of and demand for crude oil, as well as gasoline, distillate, and other refined products, which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, driving habits, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, the availability or permissibility of imports and exports, the marketing of competitive fuels and the extent of government regulations. Because the petroleum business applies first-in, first-out accounting to value its inventory, crude oil price movements may impact gross margin as a result of changes in the value of its unhedged inventory. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on the petroleum business’ results of operations is also influenced by the rate at which the processing of Refined Products adjusts to reflect these changes.
In addition to geopolitical conditions, such as the continued conflicts and tensions in the Middle East and the impact of the Russia/Ukraine conflict, there are long-term factors such as increased tariffs, ongoing and future trade conflicts and changes in U.S. economic trade policy that may impact the demand for and inventory of refined products. These factors include mandated renewable fuels standards, proposed and enacted climate change laws and regulations, and increased mileage and emissions standards for vehicles. The petroleum business is also subject to the EPA’s Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”), which, each year, absent exemptions or waivers, requires the operating companies in our Energy segment to blend “renewable fuels” with their transportation fuels, purchase renewable identification numbers (“RINs”), to the extent available, in lieu of blending, or face liability. The price of RINs has been extremely volatile and the future cost of RINs for the petroleum business is difficult to estimate. Additionally, the cost of RINs is dependent upon a variety of factors, which include but are not limited to the availability of RINs for purchase, the actions of RINs market participants including non-obligated parties, transportation fuel and renewable diesel production levels and pricing, the availability of alternative or supporting credits for renewable fuel producers, the mix of the petroleum business’ petroleum products, the refining margin of the petroleum business and other factors, all of which can vary significantly from period to period, as well as certain waivers or exemptions to which the petroleum business’ obligated-party subsidiaries may be entitled. The costs to comply with the RFS are also impacted by, and dependent upon the outcome of, the numerous lawsuits filed by multiple refiners including the petroleum business’ obligated-party subsidiaries, biofuels groups and others. Refer to Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of RINs.
Ongoing and recently proposed changes to the U.S. global trade policy, along with actual and potential international retaliatory measures, have continued to cause volatility in global markets and uncertainty around short and long-term economic impacts in the U.S. and around the globe, including concerns over inflation, recession and slowing growth. In addition, the ongoing Russian/Ukraine war and Middle East conflicts and tensions continue to present significant geopolitical risks with direct implications to the global oil, fertilizer, and agriculture markets. Such conflicts pose significant geopolitical risks to global markets, raise concerns of major implications, such as enforcement of sanctions, can contribute to further oil price and inventory volatility, and can disrupt the production and trade of fertilizer, grains, and feedstock supply through several means, including trade restrictions and supply chain disruptions. The ultimate

outcome of these conflicts and any associated market disruptions are difficult to predict and may affect our business, operations, and cash flows in unforeseen ways.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Net sales for our Energy segment increased by $111 million (6%) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the comparable prior year period due to an increase in our petroleum business’ net sales of $91 million and an increase in our nitrogen fertilizer business’ net sales by $40 million over the comparable period, offset in part by a decrease in our renewable business’ net sales of $20 million. The increase in the petroleum business’ net sales was driven by higher sales volumes as a result of increased throughput volumes combined with higher distillate prices in the current year period, offset in part by lower gasoline prices in the current year period. Our nitrogen fertilizer business’ net sales increased primarily due to favorable urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) and ammonia sales prices, offset in part by decreased UAN and ammonia sales volumes. Our renewables business’ net sales decreased due to the expiration of the blenders tax credit, offset in part by increased biodiesel RIN prices.
Cost of goods sold for our Energy segment decreased by $519 million (27%) for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily from our petroleum business, mainly due to favorable RFS impacts of $473 million, which includes favorable adjustments of $488 million related to the SRE decision, offset in part by unfavorable RINs revaluation of $15 million. Gross profit for our Energy segment increased by $630 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin was 28% and (4)% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Net sales for our Energy segment decreased by $311 million (5%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the comparable prior year period due to a decrease in our petroleum business’ net sales of $386 million and a decrease in our renewable business’ net sales of $14 million, offset in part by an increase in our nitrogen fertilizer business’ net sales by $89 million over the comparable period. The decrease in the petroleum business’ net sales was driven by lower throughput volumes as a result of planned maintenance at the Coffeyville Refinery combined with lower gasoline and distillate prices. Our renewables business’ net sales decreased due to the expiration of the blenders tax credit, offset in part by increased biodiesel RIN prices. Our nitrogen fertilizer business’ net sales increased primarily due to favorable urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) sales volumes and prices combined with favorable ammonia sales prices, offset in part by decreased ammonia sales volumes.
Cost of goods sold for our Energy segment decreased by $567 million (10%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily from our petroleum business, mainly due to favorable RFS impacts in the current period and lower production in the prior year as a result of planned maintenance at the Coffeyville Refinery. Gross profit for our Energy segment increased by $256 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin was 7% and 2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to the petroleum business, as a result of favorable RFS impacts and higher refining margins driven by improved gasolines and distillate crack spreads, primarily due to lower inventory levels and improving demand trends in the current year period, offset in part by lower sales volumes in the current year period.

Automotive
Our Automotive segment’s results of operations are generally driven by the demand for automotive service and maintenance, which is impacted by general economic factors, vehicle miles traveled, and the average age of vehicles on the road, among other factors.
Our Automotive segment has been in the process of a multi-year transformation plan. As part of this plan, our Automotive segment completed the separation of certain of its Automotive Services and Aftermarket Parts businesses into two separate operating companies. Auto Plus, which operated the majority of our Aftermarket Parts business, began operating in locations owned and leased by the Automotive Services business from 2021 until 2023.
In January 2023, Auto Plus filed a voluntary bankruptcy petition seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, resulting in its cessation of operations and deconsolidation, which reduced our Automotive segment’s assets. Following the bankruptcy, Auto Plus exited the Automotive Services locations within which it operated.
In connection with its transformation plan, the Automotive segment leases available and excess real estate in certain locations under long-term operating leases previously utilized by the Aftermarket Parts business. During this multi-year transformation plan, the Automotive segment has continued investing capital to repurpose these locations for future multi-tenant use. In October 2025, we executed on the next phase of the transformation plan in which the Automotive segment transferred the majority of its owned real estate to the Real Estate segment. The Automotive Services business entered into fair market value lease agreements with the Real Estate segment, which will not impact consolidated cash flows but will result in increased cash outflows from the Automotive segment. We believe this will reduce the Automotive Services business’s focus on real estate activities and allow it to focus on managing its core business and executing its strategy.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Automotive segment entered into an agreement with a tenant to terminate a group of leases, effective March 31, 2025. As a result of this termination, the segment received a lump sum termination fee and has additional excess real estate available to lease, which has resulted in reduced cash flows during the anticipated lease-up period.
Our Automotive segment’s priorities include:
● Positioning the Automotive Services broad offerings to take advantage of opportunities in the do-it-for-me market and vehicle fleets;
● Evolving our current store footprint to keep pace with shifting market dynamics, with strategic investment in opening new locations with attractive growth potential and simultaneously closing our lowest and underperforming locations;
● Investment in, and strategic review of, capital projects within Icahn Automotive’s owned and leased locations to increase leasing revenue, restructure lease liabilities, and reduce occupancy costs;
● Optimization of Store and Distribution Center network while improving inventory and cost position;
● Investment to improve the overall customer experience through process, facilities and automation;
● Investment in employees with focus on training and career development; and
● Business process improvements and sharing best practices through investments in people, technology, and our overall supply chain.

Net sales and other revenues from operations for our Automotive segment for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $7 million (2%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was attributable to an increase in Automotive Services revenues of $11 million (3%), offset in part by a decrease in Aftermarket Parts revenues of $4 million, due to the exit of the Aftermarket Parts business. The increase in Automotive Services revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in customer average price and car count.
Cost of goods sold and other expenses from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $8 million (3%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a one-time inventory reserve in the comparable prior period offset in part by an increase in sales. Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $15 million (19%) from the comparable prior year period. Gross margin was 26% and 22% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to a one-time inventory reserve in the comparable prior period.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Net sales and other revenues from operations for our Automotive segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $40 million (4%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in Automotive Services revenues of $20 million (2%) and a decrease in Aftermarket Parts revenues of $20 million (91%), due to the exit of the Aftermarket Parts business. The decrease in Automotive Services revenue was primarily attributable to the strategic closure of select underperforming locations.
Cost of goods sold and other expenses from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $15 million (2%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower revenues in Automotive Services and a one-time inventory reserve in the comparable prior period. Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $25 million (8%) from the comparable prior year period. Gross margin was 26% and 27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to strategic investments in shop labor.

Food Packaging
Our Food Packaging segment’s results of operations are primarily driven by the production and sale of cellulosic, fibrous and plastic casings for the processed meat and poultry industry and derives a majority of its total net sales from customers located outside the United States.
During the first quarter of 2025, the segment commenced implementation of a restructuring plan designed to enhance operational efficiency and margin performance. The plan includes the consolidation of our North American facilities into a single, centralized location, along with investments in upgraded equipment at that facility. These actions are intended to support increased production volumes while reducing costs and waste. Implementation of the plan is causing interim disruption, but its objective is to maintain global production capability while achieving improved cost structure. The restructuring activities are expected to be substantially completed during the first half of 2026. However, we do not expect the segment to realize the efficiency and performance gains from the restructuring until later in 2026, if at all. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the segment has recognized $7 million of restructuring expenses, which include employee severance costs and facility consolidation expenses, as well as $12 million of asset impairment charges. We have provided an additional $5 million through a private placement offering to our Food Packaging segment, bringing the aggregate to $20 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. If we had not provided additional capital the segment would not have met its debt obligations. The segment may require additional funding to meet future debt obligations.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $10 million (10%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower volumes of $11 million, offset in part by an increase in price and product mix of $1 million. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was flat as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 5% and 15% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $25 million (8%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower volumes of $18 million and a decrease in price of $8 million, offset in part by favorable effects of foreign exchange of $1 million. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $1 million (1%) as compared to the comparable prior year period, primarily due to effects of lower manufacturing performance. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 11% and 18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Real Estate
Our Real Estate segment consists of investment properties which includes land, retail, office and industrial properties leased to corporate tenants, the development and sale of single-family homes, and the operations of a resort and a country club. Sales of single-family homes and investment properties are included in net sales in our consolidated statements of operations. Results from operations at investment properties and our country clubs are included in other revenues from operations in our consolidated statements of operations. Revenue from our real estate operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was primarily derived from the sale of single-family homes and country club operations.
The Real Estate segment is actively marketing certain properties for sale. In June 2025, we closed on the sale of a country club which resulted in a gain of $47 million. The country club generated approximately $33 million of revenue in the full year of 2024. In August 2025, we closed on the sale of certain properties, which resulted in a gain of $223 million. These properties generated approximately $3 million in annual lease revenue. As a result of these sales, we expect a corresponding reduction in other revenues from operations on an annualized basis.

In October 2025, our Automotive segment completed the transfer of a group of owned real estate properties to our Real Estate segment. Following the transfer, the Real Estate segment assumed control of the properties and will manage and lease them as part of its ongoing operations. The Real Estate segment will lease properties to the Automotive segment, which will not impact consolidated cash flows but will result in increased cash inflows to the Real Estate segment.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $6 million (100%) as compared to the comparable prior year period due to the decrease in single-family home sales. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $5 million (100%) as compared to the prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 0% and 17% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Other revenues from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $13 million (57%) as compared to the comparable prior year period due to the sale of a country club in the second quarter of 2025. Other expenses from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $7 million (39%) as compared to the comparable prior year period.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $16 million (94%) as compared to the comparable prior year period due to the decrease in single-family home sales. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $12 million (92%) as compared to the prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 0% and 24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Other revenues from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $15 million (25%) as compared to the comparable prior year period due to the sale of a country club in the second quarter of 2025. Other expenses from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $6 million (12%) as compared to the comparable prior year period.
Home Fashion
Our Home Fashion segment is significantly influenced by the overall economic environment, including consumer spending, at the retail level, for home textile products.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $5 million (11%) as compared to the comparable prior year period mostly due to lower demand from our US retail and hospitality business. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $3 million (8%) mostly due to lower volumes as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 17% and 19% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $2 million (2%) as compared to the comparable prior year period mostly due to lower demand from our US hospitality business. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $1 million (1%) compared to the comparable prior year period mostly due to customer mix. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 21% and 23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Pharma
Our Pharma segment derives revenues primarily from the sale of its products directly to customers, wholesalers and pharmacies. Drugs in active clinical development may generate positive cash flow if successful, but there is also the risk that these drugs may not progress through clinical trials, resulting in no return. Additionally, we incur research and development costs associated with these drugs.
Pursuant to previously announced settlement agreements, in 2025, two competitors launched competing generic products to the patent protected weight loss treatment sold within our Pharma segment in the United States, which has caused, and we anticipate will continue to cause, a moderate reduction of prescription volume in the retail pharmacy market in the United States. The Pharma segment has launched its weight loss treatment in the UAE and in several EU countries including Poland, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Iceland. Additionally, launches in twelve other European countries and six additional countries in the Middle East are planned. Our Pharma segment anticipates these new launches will eventually offset the lost revenue in the US.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased $7 million (26%) as compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to increased generic competition in the anti-obesity market resulting in decreased sales. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was flat as compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to product mix. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 30% and 52% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was flat as compared to the comparable prior year period. Cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased $2 million (5%) as compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to product mix. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 43% and 46% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Holding Company
Our Holding Company’s results of operations primarily reflect the interest expense on its senior notes for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Other Consolidated Results of Operations
Selling, General and Administrative
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Our consolidated selling, general and administrative costs during the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $16 million (8%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher costs in the Automotive segment of $10 million mostly related to increased marketing and payroll expenses.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Our consolidated selling, general and administrative costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by $48 million (8%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher costs in the Automotive segment of $27 million mostly related to increased marketing and payroll expenses and the Energy segment of $12 million.

Interest Expense
Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Our consolidated interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $8 million (6%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense in our Investment segment of $15 million attributable to changes in short exposure composition, offset in part by higher interest expense in our Holding Company segment of $6 million.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Our consolidated interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $15 million (4%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense in our Investment segment of $49 million attributable to changes in short exposure composition, offset in part by higher interest expense in our Holding Company segment of $19 million and our Energy segment of $15 million.
Income Tax Expense
Certain of our subsidiaries are partnerships not subject to taxation in our condensed consolidated financial statements and certain other subsidiaries are corporations, or subsidiaries of corporations, subject to taxation in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, our consolidated effective tax rate generally differs from the statutory federal tax rate. Refer to Note 13, “Income Taxes,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Holding Company Liquidity
We are a holding company. Our cash flow and our ability to meet our debt service obligations and make distributions with respect to depositary units depends on the cash flow resulting from divestitures, equity offerings and debt financings, interest income, returns on our interests in the Investment Funds and the payment of funds to us by our subsidiaries in the form of loans, dividends and distributions. We may pursue various means to raise cash from our subsidiaries. To date, such means include receipt of dividends and distributions from subsidiaries, obtaining loans or other financings based on the asset values of subsidiaries or selling debt or equity securities of subsidiaries through capital market transactions. To the degree any distributions and transfers are impaired or prohibited, our ability to make payments on our debt or distributions on our depositary units could be limited. The operating results of our subsidiaries may not be sufficient for them to make distributions to us. In October 2024, CVR Energy, our subsidiary in our Energy segment, elected to suspend payment of its cash dividend, and continued not to pay dividends in the first, second and third quarters of 2025, which reduced our cash flow for the relevant periods. In addition, our subsidiaries are not obligated to make funds available to us 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.
As of September 30, 2025, our Holding Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.0 billion and total debt of approximately $4.7 billion. As of September 30, 2025, our Holding Company had investments in the Investment Funds with a total fair market value of approximately $2.4 billion. We may redeem our direct investment in the Investment Funds upon notice. See “Investment Segment Liquidity,” including under “Investment Funds Redemptions,” below for additional information with respect to our Investment segment liquidity. See “Consolidated Cash Flows” below for additional information with respect to our Holding Company liquidity.

(1) At September 30, 2025 total debt is net of notes held in treasury of $10 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.250% senior notes due 2026, $73 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.250% senior notes due 2027, $92 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.375% senior notes due 2029, and $50 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.000% senior notes due 2030. At December 31, 2024 total debt is net of notes held in treasury of $31 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.250% senior notes due 2026, $73 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.250% senior notes due 2027, and $92 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.375% senior notes due 2029.
Holding Company debt consists of various issues of fixed-rate senior notes issued by Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp. (together, the “Issuers”) and guaranteed by Icahn Enterprises Holdings (the “Guarantor”). Interest on each tranche of senior notes is payable semi-annually.
In August 2025, the Issuers issued an additional $500 million in aggregate principal amount of our existing 10.000% senior secured notes due 2029. The net proceeds from the issuance, together with cash on hand, were used to partially redeem $500 million of the outstanding 6.250% senior secured notes due 2026 on September 5, 2025.
Each of our senior notes and the related guarantees are the senior obligations of the Issuers and rank equally with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness. Each of our senior notes and the related guarantees are effectively subordinated to the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness. Each of our senior notes and the related guarantees are also effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuers’ subsidiaries other than the Guarantor.
The indentures governing our senior notes described above restrict the payment of cash distributions, the purchase of equity interests or the purchase, redemption, defeasance or acquisition of debt subordinated to the senior notes. The indentures also restrict the incurrence of debt or the issuance of disqualified stock, as defined in the indentures, with certain exceptions. In addition, the indentures require that on each quarterly determination date, Icahn Enterprises and the guarantor of the notes (currently only Icahn Enterprises Holdings) maintain certain minimum financial ratios, as defined therein. Upon the closing of our secured debt offering in November of 2024, all of our notes are now secured and, as a result, will be excluded from the calculation of the ratio test under these covenants. As a result, we no longer have a material amount of unsecured indebtedness, and we and our subsidiaries have substantially more capacity under these covenants to incur additional unsecured indebtedness (but subject to the other covenants in the indentures governing our senior notes that restrict the ability of the Issuers and the Guarantors, as well as the ability of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, to incur incremental indebtedness). The indentures also restrict the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations and sales of substantially all of our assets, and transactions with affiliates. Additionally, each of the 5.250% senior notes due 2027, the 4.375% senior notes due 2029, the 10.000% senior notes due 2029 and the 9.000% senior notes due 2030 are subject to optional redemption premiums in the event we redeem any of the notes prior to six months before maturity. The 9.750% senior notes due 2029 are subject to optional redemption premiums in the event we redeem these notes prior to three months before maturity.

Table of Contents
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants, including maintaining certain minimum financial ratios, as defined in the indentures. Additionally, as of June 30, 2025, based on covenants in the indentures governing our senior notes, we are not permitted to incur additional indebtedness; however, we are permitted to issue new notes in connection with debt refinancings of existing notes. We have provided additional equity financing to Viskase of an aggregate of $20 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 while its restructuring plan continues, and if we do not provide additional financing Viskase may not be able to meet its debt and other obligations unless the gains from its ongoing restructuring plan are realized sooner than anticipated.
Debt Repurchase
In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased in the open market approximately $50 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.000% senior notes due 2030 for total cash paid of $46 million. The repurchased notes were extinguished but were not retired and are held in treasury.
At-The-Market Offerings
In May 2019, Icahn Enterprises entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement for the sale of depositary units, from time to time, for up to $400 million in aggregate sale proceeds, under its ongoing “at-the-market” offering. This agreement has been subsequently terminated and superseded by subsequent agreements with substantially the same terms. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold 5,156,758 depositary units pursuant to the Open Market Sale Agreement entered into November 21, 2022. As of September 30, 2025, we continue to have effective Open Market Sale Agreements, and Icahn Enterprises may sell its depositary units for up to an additional $3 million in aggregate gross sale proceeds pursuant to its Open Market Sale Agreement entered into November 21, 2022 and up to $400 million in aggregate gross sales proceeds pursuant to its Open Market Sales Agreement entered into August 26, 2024. No assurance can be made that any or all amounts will be sold during the term of the agreements, and we have no obligation to sell additional depositary units under these Open Market Sale Agreements. Depending on market conditions, we may continue to sell depositary units under the Open Market Sale Agreements, and, if appropriate, enter into a new Open Market Sale Agreement to continue our “at-the-market” sales program once we have sold the full amount of our existing Open Market Sale Agreements. Our ability to access remaining capital under our “at-the-market” program may be limited by market conditions at the time of any future potential sale. While we were able to sell depositary units during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there can be no assurance that any future capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all under this program.
LP Unit Distributions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Icahn Enterprises declared three quarterly distributions, each distribution in the amount of $0.50 per depositary unit in which each depositary unitholder had the option to make an election to receive either cash or additional depositary units. In connection with these distributions, aggregate cash distributions to all depositary unitholders that made a timely election to receive cash was $228 million, of which $150 million was distributed to Mr. Icahn and his affiliates.
On November 3, 2025, 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 December 24, 2025 to depositary unitholders of record at the close of business on November 17, 2025. Depositary unitholders will have until December 12, 2025 to make a timely election to receive either cash or additional depositary units. If a unitholder does not make a timely election, it will automatically be deemed to have elected to receive the distribution in additional depositary units. Depositary unitholders who elect to receive (or who are deemed to have elected to receive) additional depositary units will receive units valued at the volume weighted average trading price of the units during the five consecutive trading days ending December 19, 2025. Icahn Enterprises will make a cash payment in lieu of issuing fractional depositary units to any unitholders electing to receive (or who are deemed to have elected to receive) depositary units.

Repurchase Authorization
On May 9, 2023, the Board of Directors of the General Partner approved a repurchase program which authorizes Icahn Enterprises or affiliates of Icahn Enterprises to repurchase up to an aggregate of $500 million worth of any of our outstanding fixed-rate senior notes issued by Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp. and up to an aggregate of $500 million worth of the depositary units issued by Icahn Enterprises (the “Repurchase Program”), in each case subject to restrictions on use of our cash contained in the indentures governing our indebtedness. The repurchases of senior notes or depositary units may be done for cash from time to time in the open market, through tender offers or in privately negotiated transactions upon such terms and at such prices as management may determine. The authorization of the Repurchase Program is for an indefinite term and does not expire until later terminated by the Board of Directors of Icahn Enterprises GP. On November 6, 2024, the Board re-approved the Repurchase Program, and, pursuant to the reapproved Program, we were reauthorized to repurchase up to $500 million worth of our outstanding fixed-rate senior notes, in addition to the $269 million we repurchased prior to the Board’s reapproval of the Repurchase Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any of the Company’s depositary units under the Repurchase Program and has repurchased $50 million worth of our outstanding fixed-rate senior notes. The repurchased notes were extinguished but were not retired and held in treasury. We remain authorized to repurchase up to $450 million of our senior notes and up to $500 million of our outstanding depositary units, in each case subject to restrictions on use of our cash contained in the indentures governing our indebtedness.
Investment Segment Liquidity
In addition to investments by us and Mr. Icahn, the Investment Funds historically have access to significant amounts of cash available from prime brokerage lines of credit, subject to customary terms and market conditions.
Our cash held at consolidated affiliated partnerships balance was $471 million and $915 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Cash held at consolidated affiliated partnerships relates to our Investment segment and consists of cash and cash equivalents held by the Investment Funds that, although not legally restricted, are not used for the general operating needs of Icahn Enterprises.
Additionally, our Investment segment liquidity is driven by the investment activities and performance of the Investment Funds. As of September 30, 2025, the Investment Funds had a net short notional exposure of 26%. The Investment Funds’ long exposure was 109% (109% long equity) and its short exposure was 134% (121% short equity, 1% short credit and 12% short commodity). The notional exposure represents the ratio of the notional exposure of the Investment Funds’ invested capital to the net asset value of the Investment Funds at September 30, 2025.
Of the Investment Funds’ 109% long exposure, 60% was comprised of the fair value of its long positions and 49% was comprised mostly of single name equity forward and swap contracts. Of the Investment Funds’ 134% short exposure, 44% was comprised of the fair value of its short positions and 90% was comprised mostly of short broad market index swap derivative contracts, short credit default swap contracts and short commodity contracts.
With respect to both our long positions that are not notionalized (60% long exposure) and our short positions that are not notionalized (44% short exposure), each 1% change in exposure as a result of purchases or sales (assuming no change in value) would have a 1% impact on our cash and cash equivalents (as a percentage of net asset value). Changes in exposure as a result of purchases and sales as well as adverse changes in market value would also have an effect on funds available to us pursuant to prime brokerage lines of credit.
With respect to the notional value of our other long positions (49% long exposure) and short positions (90% short exposure), our liquidity would decrease by the balance sheet unrealized loss if we were to close the positions at quarter end prices. This would be offset by a release of restricted cash balances collateralizing these positions as well as an increase in funds available to us pursuant to certain prime brokerage lines of credit. If we were to increase our short exposure by adding to these short positions, we would be required to provide cash collateral equal to a small percentage of the initial notional value at counterparties that require cash as collateral and then post additional collateral equal to 100% of the mark to market on adverse changes in fair value. For our counterparties who do not require cash collateral, funds available from lines of credit would decrease.

Investment Funds Redemption
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Mr. Icahn and his affiliates (excluding us and Brett Icahn) redeemed $508 million from his personal interest in the Investment Funds included in the Investment segment. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total fair market value of investments in the Investment Funds owned by the Company was approximately $2.4 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, representing approximately 75% and 64% of the Investment Funds’ assets under management as of each respective date.

Consolidated Cash Flows
Our consolidated cash flows are composed of the activities within our Holding Company, Investment segment and other operating segments. Our Holding Company’s cash flows are generally driven by cash flows resulting from our subsidiaries loans, dividends, distributions and contributions, as well as divestitures and acquisitions, equity offerings and debt financings, interest income and expense. Our Investment segment’s cash flows are primarily driven by investment transactions, which are included in net cash flows from operating activities due to the nature of its business, as well as contributions to and distributions from Mr. Icahn and his affiliates (including Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings) and Brett Icahn, which are included in net cash flows from financing activities. Our other operating segments’ cash flows are driven by the activities and performance of each business as well as transactions with our Holding Company, as discussed below.
The following table summarizes cash flow information for Icahn Enterprises’ reporting segments and our Holding Company:
