Icahn Enterprises L.P. Reports Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2012 Financial Results
• | 2012 Net Income Attributable to Icahn Enterprises of $396 million |
• | 2012 Full Year Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Icahn Enterprises of $1.5 billion |
• | Board Announced Increase of Annual Distribution to $4.00 per depository unit |
New York, NY - Icahn Enterprises L.P. (NASDAQ:IEP) is reporting revenues of $15.7 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012, and net income attributable to Icahn Enterprises of $396 million, or $3.75 per LP unit. For the full year 2011, revenues were $11.8 billion and net income attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $750 million, or $8.15 per LP unit.
For the fourth quarter of 2012, revenues were $4.2 billion and net income attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $6 million, or $0.06 per LP unit. Fourth quarter results were negatively impacted by scheduled turnarounds at CVR Energy's Wynnewood refinery and Coffeyville fertilizer plant. For the fourth quarter of 2011, revenues were $3.2 billion and net income attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $260 million, or $2.81 per LP unit.
Mr. Icahn stated: “IEP has started the year with very strong results. The indicative net asset value per IEP unit has increased from $56 per unit on December 31, 2012 to $67 per unit as of March 13, 2013, an approximate 20% increase over the period. We are excited about the investment opportunities we are seeing across our operating segments. All in all, we believe that the future of IEP is very bright.” Management's calculations of indicative net asset value as of December 31, 2012 and March 13, 2013 are shown at the end of this release.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $1.5 billion for 2012 compared to $1.5 billion for 2011. For the fourth quarter of 2012, Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $0.3 billion compared to $0.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Adjusted EBIT attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $1.1 billion for 2012 compared to $1.2 billion for 2011. For the fourth quarter of 2012, Adjusted EBIT attributable to Icahn Enterprises was $0.2 billion compared to $0.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2011.
On February 11, 2013, the Board of Directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises L.P. approved a modification to the Company's distribution policy to increase our annual distribution to $4.00 per depositary unit, payable in either cash or additional depositary units, at the election of each depositary unit holder. Based upon the latest closing price of the depositary units of Icahn Enterprises L.P., this dividend represents an annual yield of approximately 6.5%. Carl C. Icahn, the holder of approximately 90.5% of the outstanding depositary units, has indicated that it is his present intention to elect to receive the increase in the Company's cash distribution in additional depositary units for the foreseeable future.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating its performance. These include non-GAAP EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT and Adjusted EBIT. 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. 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. 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 and Adjusted EBIT present meaningful measures of corporate performance exclusive of our capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired and financed.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT and Adjusted EBIT 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 and Adjusted EBIT:
• | 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 and Adjusted EBIT differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. In addition, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBIT and Adjusted EBIT 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 and Adjusted EBIT 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 and Adjusted EBIT only as a supplemental measure of our financial performance.
Use of Indicative Net Asset Value Data
The Company uses the indicative net asset value of the depository units as an additional method for considering the value of the units, and we believe that this information can be helpful to investors. Please note, however, that the indicative net asset value
of the units 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 depository 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 indicative net asset value of the Company's depository units.
