References to “we,” “our” or “us” herein include both Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. (“Icahn Enterprises Holdings”) and their subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. Icahn Enterprises owns a 99% limited partner interest in 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 our outstanding depositary units as of September 30, 2025. Description of Continuing Operating Businesses 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. See Note 12, “Segment Reporting,” for a reconciliation of each of our reporting segment’s results of operations to our consolidated results. Certain additional information with respect to our segments is discussed below. Investment Our Investment segment is comprised of various private investment funds (“Investment Funds”) in which we have general partner interests and through which we invest our proprietary capital. As general partner, we provide investment advisory and certain administrative and back-office services to the Investment Funds but do not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. We and certain of Mr. Icahn’s family members and affiliates are the only investors in the Investment Funds. Interests in the Investment Funds are not offered to outside investors. We had interests in the Investment Funds with a fair value of approximately $2.4 billion and $2.7 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Energy We conduct our Energy segment through our majority owned subsidiary, CVR Energy, Inc. (“CVR Energy”), along with our interest in CVR Partners, LP, a publicly traded limited partnership (“CVR Partners”) and subsidiary of CVR Energy. CVR Energy is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and marketing businesses, the renewable fuels businesses, as well as in the nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing and distribution businesses through its holdings in CVR Partners. CVR Energy is an independent petroleum refiner and is a marketer of high value transportation fuels primarily in the form of gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and distillates. The renewables business refines feedstocks, such as soybean oil, corn oil, and other related renewable feedstocks, into renewable diesel and markets renewable products. CVR Partners produces and markets nitrogen fertilizers in the form of urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) and ammonia. CVR Energy held 100% of the general partner interest and approximately 37% of the outstanding common units of CVR Partners as of September 30, 2025. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we increased our ownership of CVR Energy by acquiring 3,726,090 shares for a total purchase price of approximately $65 million. During this period, we also increased our ownership of CVR Partners by acquiring 98,082 units for a total purchase price of approximately $7 million. As of September 30, 2025, we owned approximately 70% of the total outstanding common stock of CVR Energy and 3% of the outstanding common units of CVR Partners. 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. Automotive We conduct our Automotive segment through our wholly owned subsidiary, Icahn Automotive Group LLC (“Icahn Automotive”). The Automotive segment is engaged in providing a full range of automotive repair and maintenance services, along with the sale of any installed parts or materials related to automotive services (“Automotive Services”) to its customers, as well as sales of automotive aftermarket parts and retailed merchandise (“Aftermarket Parts”). We exited the Aftermarket Parts business in the first quarter of 2025. In addition to its primary businesses, the Automotive segment leases available and excess real estate in certain locations under long-term operating leases. Food Packaging We conduct our Food Packaging segment through our majority owned subsidiary, Viskase Companies, Inc. (“Viskase”). Viskase is a producer of cellulosic, fibrous and plastic casings used to prepare and package processed meat products. 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 $15 million and $5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, we owned approximately 92% of the total outstanding common stock of Viskase. Real Estate We conduct our Real Estate segment through various wholly owned subsidiaries. Our Real Estate segment primarily 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. In August 2025, our Real Estate segment sold certain properties for total consideration of $247 million, including loan origination fees, resulting in a pre-tax gain on disposition of assets of $223 million. The transaction included seller financing, which is included in related party notes receivable, and a preferred equity method investment included in investments, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025. Home Fashion We conduct our Home Fashion segment through our wholly owned subsidiary, WestPoint Home LLC (“WPH”). WPH’s business consists of manufacturing, sourcing, marketing, distributing and selling home fashion consumer products. Pharma We conduct our Pharma segment through our wholly owned subsidiary, Vivus LLC, formerly Vivus, Inc. (“Vivus”).
