Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

- Nature of Business, Liquidity and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
For information on the nature of our business, see Part II, Item 8, Note 1 —Nature of Business, section Liquidity and Basis of Presentation, sub-section Nature of Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Liquidity
We have generally incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. With the series of new debt offerings, debt extinguishments, and conversions to equity that we completed since 2021, we had $1,126.7 million and $4.1 million of total outstanding recourse and non-recourse debt, respectively, as of March 31, 2025, $114.6 million and $1,016.2 million of which was classified as short-term debt and long-term debt, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, we had $1,124.7 million and $4.1 million of total outstanding recourse and non-recourse debt, respectively, $114.4 million and $1,014.4 million of which was classified as short-term debt and long-term debt, respectively.
Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, the rate of growth in the volume of system builds and the need for additional working capital, the expansion of sales and marketing activities both in domestic and international markets, market acceptance of our products, our ability to secure financing for customer use of our products, the timing of installations and of inventory build in anticipation of future sales and installations, and overall economic conditions. In order to support and achieve our future growth plans, we may need or seek advantageously to obtain additional funding through equity or debt financing. Failure to obtain this financing on favorable terms or at all in future quarters may affect our financial position and results of operations, including our revenues and cash flows.
In the opinion of management, the combination of our cash and cash equivalents and cash flow to be generated by our operations is expected to be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash flow needs for at least the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We recognized $7.1 million of product revenue, and $2.3 million of installation revenue from successful sale-and- leaseback transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2024. There were no successful sale-and-leaseback transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The recognized operating lease expense from successful sale-and-leaseback transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, was $3.4 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
Operating lease right-of-use assets from successful sale-and-leaseback transactions as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were $45.2 million and $47.2 million, respectively. Operating lease liabilities from successful sale-and-leaseback transactions as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were $48.4 million and $50.4 million, including long-term operating lease liability of $39.9 million and $42.1 million, respectively. Financing obligations from successful sale-and-leaseback transactions as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were $10.5 million and $11.0 million, including long-term financing obligations of $8.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively.
At March 31, 2025, future lease payments under the Managed Services Agreements financing obligations were as follows (in thousands):

| 2027 | 17,576 |
| 2028 | 11,913 |
| 2029 | 7,267 |
| Thereafter | 19,647 |
| Total minimum lease payments | 98,644 |

| Less: current financing obligations | (21,539) |
| Long-term financing obligations | $27,909 |
The total financing obligations, as reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were $251.4 million and $255.8 million as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. We expect the difference between these obligations and the principal obligations in the table above to be offset against the carrying value of the related Energy Server systems at the end of the lease and the remainder recognized as either a net gain or net loss at that point.

Commitments
Purchase Commitments with Suppliers and Contract Manufacturers — As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we hadno material open purchase orders with our component suppliers and third-party manufacturers that are expected to be
realized within more than a 12-month period and are not cancellable. For additional information on purchase commitments with suppliers and contract manufacturers, see Part II, Item 8, Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies, section Commitments in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Performance Guarantees — We paid $11.6 million and $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, for guarantees that we provide customers on the output performance of our Energy Server systems. For additional information on performance guarantees, see Part II, Item 8, Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies, section Commitments in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Letters of Credit —In 2019, pursuant to the PPA II repowering of the Energy Server systems, we agreed to indemnify our financing partner for losses that may be incurred in the event of certain regulatory, legal or legislative developments and established a cash-collateralized letter of credit facility for this purpose. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the balance of this cash-collateralized letter of credit was $5.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively.
In December 2024, we issued a $100.0 million letter of credit in favor of one of our major customers to guarantee the performance in accordance with the limited indemnity and cooperation agreement dated November 14, 2024, related to the supply of 100 MW of Energy Server systems. This letter of credit was released in the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
In addition, we have other outstanding letters of credit issued to our customers and other counterparties in the U.S. and international locations under different performance and financial obligations. These letters of credit are collateralized through cash deposited in the controlled bank accounts with the issuing banks and are classified as restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the balances of the cash-collateralized letters of credit issued to our customers and other counterparties in the U.S. and international locations other than PPA II were $23.8 million and $131.2 million, respectively.
Pledged Funds — In 2019, pursuant to the PPA IIIb repowering of the Energy Server systems, we established a restricted cash fund of $20.0 million, which had been pledged for aseven-year period to secure our operations and maintenance obligations with respect to the totality of our obligations to the financier. These funds will be released to us by the end of 2026 as long as the Energy Server systems continue to perform in compliance with our warranty obligations. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the balance of the restricted cash fund was $7.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively.
Contingencies
Indemnification Agreements —See Part II, Item 8, Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies, section Contingencies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. To date, we have not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to our indemnification obligations with customers and certain other business partners. However, we may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.
Investment Tax Credits — See Part II, Item 8, Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies, section Contingencies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Legal Matters —We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We review all legal matters at least quarterly and assess whether an accrual for loss contingencies needs to be recorded. We record an accrual for loss contingencies when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal matters are subject to uncertainties and are inherently unpredictable, so the actual liability in any such matter may be materially different from our estimates. If an unfavorable resolution were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the resolution occurs or in future periods.
In February 2022, Plansee SE/Global Tungsten & Powders Corp. (“Plansee/GTP”), a former supplier, filed a request for expedited arbitration with the World Intellectual Property Organization Arbitration and Mediation Center in Geneva Switzerland (“WIPO”), for various claims allegedly in relation to an Intellectual Property and Confidential Disclosure Agreement between Plansee/GTP and Bloom Energy Corporation. Plansee/GTP’s statement of claims includes allegations of infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,802,328, 8,753,785 and 9,434,003. On April 3, 2022, we filed a complaint against Plansee/GTP in the Eastern District of Texas to address the dispute between Plansee/GTP and Bloom Energy Corporation in a proper forum before a U.S. Federal District Court. Our complaint seeks the correction of inventorship of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,802,328, 8,753,785 and 9,434,003 (the “Patents-in-Suit”); declaratory judgment of invalidity, unenforceability, and non-infringement of the Patents-in-Suit; and declaratory judgment of no misappropriation. Further, our complaint seeks to recover damages we have suffered in relation to Plansee/GTP’s business dealings that, as alleged, constitute acts of unfair competition, tortious
interference contract, breach of contract, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and violations of the Clayton Antitrust Act. On June 9, 2022, Plansee/GTP filed a motion to dismiss the complaint filed in the Eastern District of Texas and compel arbitration (or alternatively to stay). We filed our opposition on June 30, 2022, Plansee/GTP filed its reply on July 14, 2022, and we filed our sur-reply on July 22, 2022. On February 9, 2023, Magistrate Judge Payne issued a report and recommendation to stay the district court action pending an arbitrability determination by the arbitrator for each claim.
On February 23, 2023, we filed an amended complaint adding additional causes of action and filed objections to the Magistrate’s report and recommendation. On April 26, 2023, Judge Gilstrap overruled our objections to the Magistrate’s report and recommendation and stayed the district court action pending arbitrability determinations by the arbitrator in the WIPO proceeding. The arbitration had been held in abeyance awaiting the decision of the Eastern District of Texas. A hearing by the arbitrator in WIPO on arbitrability took place on June 27, 2023. On October 2, 2023, the arbitrator in the WIPO proceeding issued a ruling concluding that all the parties’ claims were arbitrable. On November 18, 2023, the arbitrator bifurcated the arbitration into a first phase that will focus on Bloom’s claims directed to improper inventorship of the Patents-in-Suit and Bloom’s defective product claims. Briefing on the first phase took place throughout 2024 with an evidentiary hearing scheduled for July 21, 2025. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the arbitration at this time.
- Segment Information
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, (“ASC 280”) establishes standards for companies to report in their financial statement information about operating segments, products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Based on the criteria established by ASC 280, our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Company as a whole and hence, we have onlyone reportable segment. We do not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting.
For discussion of significant segment expenses, other segment items and the Company’s primary measure of segment profitability, refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 14 —Segment Informationin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
For information on the Company’s geographic risk, please refer to Note 1 —Nature of Business, Liquidity and Basis of Presentation, section Concentration of Risk.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded an income tax provision (benefit) of $0.4 million and $(0.5) million on pre-tax losses of $23.0 million and $57.0 million for effective tax rates of (1.9)% and 0.9%, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, is lower than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to a full valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.
For additional information on income taxes, refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 15 —Income Taxes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
