You mean (1) is correct.

So,

The companies being repeatedly in deficit are mine.(1)

=The companies repeatedly in deficit are mine. (2)

Both are correct and mean the same thing. Am I right?

Yes, but in both you have an ellipsis for
"that are/which are"
Some people might want those words present for a full sentence, esp in formal contexts.


The companies that are being repeatedly in deficit are mine.(1)

=The companies that are repeatedly in deficit are mine.
