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. Certain other financial information is discussed on a consolidated basis following our segment discussion, including other revenues and expenses included in continuing operations as well as our results from discontinued operations. 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. Throughout 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic, and actions taken by governments and others in response thereto, has negatively impacted the global economy, financial markets, and the industries in which our subsidiaries operate. Our consolidated results of operations and financial condition have been impacted primarily by the volatility in the fair value of investments held by our Investment segment and the Holding Company as well as declines in the global demand for refined products, especially gasoline and diesel fuels, with respect to our Energy segment. The impact on our businesses has also included the acceleration of selective planned store closures in our Automotive segment and recording write-downs to inventories. The economic conditions that persisted for much of 2020 have improved in 2021 as more governments reduce restrictions and more businesses resume operations. The comparability of our summarized consolidated financial results presented below is affected primarily by the performance of the Investment Funds (as defined below), the results of operations of our Energy segment, impacted by the demand and pricing for its products, and our Holding Company's realized and unrealized gains and losses on certain equity investments. Refer to our respective segment discussions and "Other Consolidated Results of Operations," below for further discussion.

We invest our proprietary capital through various private investment funds ("Investment Funds"). As ofJune 30, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 , we had investments with a fair market value of approximately$4.7 billion and$4.3 billion , respectively, in the Investment Funds. As ofJune 30, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 , the total fair market value of investments in the Investment Funds made byMr. Icahn and his affiliates (excluding us) was approximately$5.6 billion and$5.0 billion , respectively. Our Investment segment's results of operations are reflected in net income (loss) 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 byBrett Icahn , son ofMr. Icahn . 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 ofJune 30, 2021 . For the three months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, our Investment Funds' returns were 1.4% and 11.7%, respectively. For the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, our Investment Funds' returns were 10.8% and (7.9)%, respectively.

Energy Our Energy segment is primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing businesses. The petroleum business accounted for approximately 94% and 90% of our Energy segment's net sales for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 and other refined products. This supply and demand depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels and the extent of government regulation. Because the petroleum business applies first-in, first-out accounting to value its inventory, crude oil price movements may impact gross margin in the short-term fluctuations in the market price of inventory. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on the petroleum business' results of operations is influenced by the rate at which the prices of refined products adjust to reflect these changes. The COVID-19 pandemic, and the actions taken by governments and others, has negatively impacted the energy industry. The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in significant business and operational disruptions, including business closures, liquidity strains, destruction of non-essential demand, as well as supply chain challenges, travel restrictions, stay-at home orders, and limitations on the availability of the workforce. As a result, the demand for gasoline and diesel in the regions that our Energy segment operates declined beginning in the first quarter of 2020. The declines were amplified in the first quarter of 2020 by market plays between the world's largest oil producers. The simultaneous shocks in oil supply and demand have resulted in a decline in the price of crude oil and lead to a significant decrease in the price of refined products sold by our Energy segment. However, beginning in late 2020 and into 2021, the U.S. market for refined products improved and demand increased as travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders were eased. In addition to recent market conditions, there are long-term factors that may impact the demand for refined products. These factors include mandated renewable fuels standards, proposed climate change laws and regulations, and increased mileage standards for vehicles. The petroleum business is also subject to the Renewable Fuel Standard of theUnited States Environmental Protection Agency , which requires it to either blend "renewable fuels" with its transportation fuels or purchase renewable identification numbers ("RINs"), in lieu of blending. 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 the availability of RINs for purchase, the price at which RINs can be purchased, transportation fuel production levels, the mix of the petroleum business' petroleum products, as well as the fuel blending performed at its refineries and downstream terminals, all of which can vary significantly from period to period. Refer to Note 16, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of RINs. InDecember 2020 , our Energy segment approved a renewable diesel project at one of its refineries, which would convert the refinery's hydrocracker to a renewable diesel unit ("RDU") capable of producing 100 million gallons of renewable diesel per year and approximately 170 to 180 million RINs annually. As a result of conversion, the crude oil capacity of the refinery will be reduced. Further, the conversion enables our Energy segment to capture additional benefits associated with the existing blenders' tax credit that expires at the end of 2022 and low carbon fuel standard programs in states such asCalifornia . Our Energy segment has additional plans to add pretreating capabilities for the RDU and construction of a similar facility at its other refinery. These collective renewable diesel efforts could reduce our Energy segment's Renewable Fuels Standard ("RFS") exposure. However, any actions taken by theSupreme Court , resulting administration efforts under the RFS, such as denial of existing or previous waiver applications, and market 45

conditions could significantly impact the amount by which our Energy segment's renewable diesel business mitigates our costs to comply with the RFS, if at all.

Three Months Ended
Net sales for our Energy segment increased by$1,108 million (164%) for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to the comparable prior year period due to an increase in our petroleum business' net sales, which increased$1,075 million , as well as an increase in our nitrogen fertilizer business' net sales, which increased$33 million over the comparable periods. The increase in the petroleum business' net sales was primarily due to an increase in sales of gasoline and distillates attributable to an increase in volumes and more favorable pricing conditions. Volumes were lower in the comparable prior year period due to the full planned turnaround at one of the refineries while another refinery experienced reduced utilization in response to demand reductions driven by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our nitrogen fertilizer business' net sales increased primarily due to an increase in urea ammonium nitrate ("UAN") sales primarily due to favorable pricing conditions. Cost of goods sold for our Energy segment increased by$1,112 million (172%) for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to our petroleum business as a result of higher cost of consumed crude oil. The higher cost of consumed crude oil was due to an increase in volumes, as discussed above, as well as lower derivative performance of$22 million and a$157 million increase in the net cost of RINs. Gross margin for our Energy segment decreased by$4 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 1% and 4% for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the gross margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the petroleum business, which was primarily due to an increase in the net cost of RINs and lower derivative performance, offset in part by higher crack spreads.
Six Months Ended
Net sales for our Energy segment increased by$1,440 million (80%) for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to the comparable prior year period due to an increase in our petroleum business' net sales, which increased$1,421 million , as well as an increase in our nitrogen fertilizer business' net sales, which increased$19 million over the comparable periods. The increase in the petroleum business' net sales was primarily due to an increase in sales of gasoline and distillates attributable to an increase in volumes and more favorable pricing conditions. Volumes were lower in the comparable prior year period due to the full planned turnaround at one of the refineries while another refinery experienced reduced utilization in response to demand reductions driven by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our nitrogen fertilizer business' net sales increased primarily due to an increase in urea ammonium nitrate ("UAN") sales primarily due to favorable pricing conditions. Cost of goods sold for our Energy segment increased by$1,442 million (76%) for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to our petroleum business as a result of higher cost of consumed crude oil. The higher cost of consumed crude oil was due to an increase in volumes, as discussed above, as well as lower derivative performance of$99 million and a$316 million increase in the net cost of RINs. Gross margin for our Energy segment decreased by$2 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was (3)% and (5)% for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The improvement in the gross margin as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to the petroleum business, which was primarily due to higher crack spreads, offset in part by an increase in the net cost of RINs and lower derivative performance. 46 Table of Contents Automotive
Our Automotive segment's results of operations are generally driven by the distribution and installation of automotive aftermarket parts and the demand for automotive service and maintenance, and is affected by the relative strength of automotive part replacement trends, among other factors. Our Automotive segment is in the process of implementing a multi-year transformation plan, which includes the restructuring of its businesses. The transformation plan includes operating the automotive services and aftermarket parts businesses as separate businesses, streamliningIcahn Automotive's corporate and field support teams, facility closures, consolidations and conversions, inventory optimization actions, and the re-focusing of its automotive parts business on certain core markets. As part of this plan,Icahn Automotive entered into an agreement to sell certain inventory assets relating to its aftermarket parts business at 109 locations and a distribution center inCalifornia and certain other inventory and fixed assets inCalifornia . Aftermarket parts sales from these locations aggregated$30 million and$65 million during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2021 . Costs to implement the transformation plan will include restructuring charges, which will be recorded when specific plans are approved, and which may be significant.
Our Automotive segment's priorities include:
? Positioning the service business to take advantage of opportunities in the
do-it-for-me market and vehicle fleets;
? Optimizing the value of the commercial parts distribution business in certain
high-volume core markets;
? Exiting the automotive parts distribution business in certain low volume,
non-core markets;
? Improving inventory management across
distribution network;
? Investment in customer experience initiatives and selective upgrades in
facilities;
? Investment in employees with focus on training and career development
investments; and
? Business process improvements, including investments in our supply chain and
information technology capabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Holding Company Liquidity

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 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.

endingSeptember 24, 2021 .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. The declaration and payment of distributions is reviewed quarterly byIcahn Enterprises GP's board of directors based upon a review of our balance sheet and cash flow, our expected capital and liquidity requirements, the provisions of our partnership agreement and provisions in our financing arrangements governing distributions, and keeping in mind that limited partners subject toU.S. federal income tax have recognized income on our earnings even if they do not receive distributions that could be used to satisfy any resulting tax obligations. The payment of future distributions will be determined by the board of directors quarterly, based upon the factors described above and other factors that it deems relevant at the time that declaration of a distribution is considered. Payments of distributions are subject to certain restrictions, including certain restrictions on our subsidiaries which limit their ability to distribute dividends to us. There can be no assurance as to whether or in what amounts any future distributions might be paid.
Investment Segment Liquidity
In addition to investments by us and
Additionally, our Investment segment liquidity is driven by the investment activities and performance of the Investment Funds. As ofJune 30, 2021 , the Investment Funds' had a net long notional exposure of 5%. The Investment Funds' long exposure was 108% (107% long equity and 1% long credit) and its short exposure was 103% (83% short equity and 20% short credit and other). 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 atJune 30, 2021 . Of the Investment Funds' 108% long exposure, 102% was comprised of the fair value of its long positions (with certain adjustments) and 6% was comprised of single name equity forward contracts and credit contracts. Of the Investment Funds' 103% short exposure, 41% was comprised of the fair value of its short positions and 62% was comprised of short broad market index swap derivative contracts and short credit default swap contracts. With respect to both our long positions that are not notionalized (102% long exposure) and our short positions that are not notionalized (41% 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 short positions (62% 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. 53 Table of Contents Other Segment Liquidity
