Statement from Mr. Icahn
IEP Chairman Carl C. Icahn stated: "Over the years, we have maintained a significant hedge position against our refining investments. 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. 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. In addition, we are continuing to right-size our hedge portfolio to better align with our underlying exposures. We believe these adjustments will help reduce periodic volatility, improve the consistency of our performance, and support more balanced risk-adjusted returns going forward.
Throughout the history of IEP, there have been periods when many of our controlled positions (where we have owned more than 50%) have been undervalued and I believe such a period exists today. Some examples of undervalued controlled positions ultimately becoming profitable for us due to our activism and patience as long-term holders include Pep Boys, the Nashville East Bank Scrapyard, PSC Metals, Ferrous Resources, American Railcar Industries, Tropicana Entertainment, Federal-Mogul, the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, American Railcar Leasing and the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino, each of which was sold for a value in excess of the value at which they were carried on our books. A good current example of one of these is CVR Energy, of which we own 71%. I believe the current market environment is breeding extremely attractive opportunities for refineries such as CVR given the huge capital commitments and exceedingly long time necessary to build new refineries, as well as the threats to existing worldwide refining infrastructure resulting from the current geopolitical situation. I believe that CVR will eventually be on the list of undervalued assets that prove to be extremely profitable for us just as the ones mentioned above and, together with the CVR management team, we are actively focused on opportunities to increase long-term value.
My optimism is also buoyed by our liquidity position and I look forward to updating our unitholders next quarter."

Depositary unitholders will have until September 11, 2026 to make a timely election to receive either cash or additional depositary units.
