Acacia delivered strong financial and operating results for the second quarter, generating total revenue of $114.6 million, Operated Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $22.8 million and Total Company Adjusted EBITDA of $17.3 million. Revenue increased 124% year over year compared to the second quarter of 2025, driven primarily by higher paid-up licensing revenue from our Intellectual Property Operations segment. Our operating companies also continued to execute well, led by Benchmark Energy, which generated revenue of $20.5 million—its strongest revenue quarter. As we look ahead to the remainder of 2026, we remain focused on compounding long-term intrinsic value per share through disciplined capital allocation, active ownership of our operating businesses and selective investments across the public and private markets. As of the end of the second quarter, cash, cash equivalents, equity securities and loans receivable was approximately $334.6 million, or $3.43 per share, and we continued to maintain no parent-company debt. Our acquisition pipeline remains active, and our strong balance sheet, flexible investment mandate and experienced management team position us well to pursue opportunities where we believe we can generate attractive long-term returns and create differentiated value for our shareholders.
