The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Genie Retail Energy (GRE) posted record fourth quarter gross profit, income from operations, and Adjusted EBITDA, "highlighted by strong margins in its retail book," parent Genie Energy, Ltd. said in announcing fourth quarter and full year 2022 earnings today
"As in prior quarters during 2022, GRE moderated customer acquisition efforts to maximize the value of its portfolio," Genie said
"During the quarter, our retail book grew modestly as we largely remain on the sidelines in terms of customer acquisition, excluding a small acquisition of book customers in the Midwest and Northeast," said Michael Stein, Genie chief executive officer.
"We strategically curtailed customer acquisition during a volatile wholesale pricing period allowing us to generate strong financial results. Now that volatility has diminished, we are positioned to return to customer growth. GRE's strong performance this year again demonstrated our ability to manage this business profitably through a wide range of market conditions," Stein said
GRE meters served were 275,000 as of 4Q22, versus 271,000 as of 3Q22 and 285,000 a year ago
