Current report

Additionally, the OBBBA introduces new compliance requirements under the Foreign Entity of Concern (“FEOC”) provisions for both Section 48E and the Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit (“AMPTC”) under Section 45X. These provisions establish a threshold of non-FEOC content that must be met by fuel cell projects beginning construction in 2026 and by manufactured components produced beginning in 2026. Although the rules are still being finalized, given the location of our supply chain we don’t expect the FEOC provisions to limit our fuel cell products’ ability to qualify for the tax credit or to otherwise increase our supply chain costs in an attempt to qualify.

Current report

On July 7, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order directing the Secretary of the Treasury to issue updated guidance within 45 days on the “beginning of construction” requirements applicable to Section 48E projects. The Executive Order also requires the Secretary to implement the FEOC restrictions set forth in the OBBBA. While these changes are not expected to materially impact us based on our current supply chain and cost structure, they may affect our future decisions around expansion or domestic supply chain investments. In response, we are working to align our development and sourcing strategies with the new credit framework and actively working with our partners and policymakers to support continued momentum for clean, reliable distributed energy solutions. We believe the long-term clarity and stability of the revised ITC for fuel cell property enhances our competitive position, although the phasedown beginning after 2033 and future legislative or regulatory changes could still impact customer economics and our growth.

Current report

The Trump Administration has also issued multiple Executive Orders that relate to enabling domestic energy production and AI development and is taking further actions to effectuate that intent (e.g., National Energy Emergency Declaration, Unleashing American Energy, Accelerating Permitting of Datacenter Infrastructure, AI Action Plan, and Department of Energy (DOE) Resource Adequacy Report). These and future Executive Orders and related federal agency actions may benefit Bloom to the extent they provide pathways to expeditiously site energy resources to achieve the Administration’s national security goal of advancing the deployment of AI data centers. Bloom continues to monitor federal action in these areas. It is not yet clear, however, whether these actions will have a material impact on Bloom’s business.

Supply Chain Constraints and Trade Tariff Uncertainties

Current report

Our supply chain is not dependent on China, but significant tariffs on imports from other countries where we do source materials could impact our costs. In July 2025, President Trump announced that, depending on the outcome of trade deals he intends to increase the tariffs on some countries staring August 2025. Changes in U.S. or international trade policies, including an escalation in trade tensions or the implementation of broader tariffs, trade restrictions or retaliatory measures on our products or components originating from countries outside the United States could adversely impact our ability to source necessary components, manufacture products at competitive costs, or sell our products at prices customers are willing to pay. Any such developments could materially and adversely affect our business operations, results of operations and cash flows.

Current report

On May 7, 2025, the Company entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders of its 2.5% Green Convertible Senior Notes due August 2025 (the “2.5% Green Notes”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, $112.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2.5% Green Notes, and related accrued and unpaid interest of $0.7 million, were exchanged (the “Debt Exchange”) for $115.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.0% Green Convertible Senior Notes due June 2029 (the “3.0% Green Notes due June 2029”). As a result of the Debt Exchange, the Company recorded a $32.3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, included within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, $2.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.5% Green Notes remained outstanding. For details of the Debt Exchange, see Part I, Item 1, Note 7 —Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements, section Convertible Senior Notes Debt Exchange.

Current report

Total revenue increased by $65.5 million, or 19.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was driven by a $70.3 million increase in product revenue, and a $1.9 million increase in service revenue, partially offset by a $5.4 million decrease in installation revenue, and a $1.4 million decrease in electricity revenue.

Current report

Product revenue increased by $70.3 million, or 31.1%, and by $128.8 million, or 33.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to higher demand for our products, coupled with a shift in product mix favoring sales in non-U.S. markets.

Current report

Installation revenue decreased by $5.4 million, or 12.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased by $16.8 million, or 31.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These fluctuations were primarily driven by the timing of key project milestone achievements on sites requiring installation services by us during the second quarter and the first half of fiscal year 2025, respectively.

Current report

Total cost of revenue increased by $26.9 million, or 10.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by a $37.4 million increase in cost of product revenue, partially offset by a $6.1 million decrease in costs of installation revenue, a $3.0 million decrease in cost of service revenue, and a $1.5 million decrease in cost of electricity revenue.

Current report

Cost of product revenue increased by $37.4 million, or 23.2%, and by $61.2 million, or 22.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. Product cost rose mainly due to an increase in the volume of sales, partially offset by ongoing improvements in manufacturing efficiency and automation that reduced material, labor, and overhead costs.

Current report

Cost of installation revenue decreased by $6.1 million, or 13.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased by $11.9 million, or 19.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These fluctuations were primarily driven by the timing of achieving key project milestones on sites requiring installations services by us during the second quarter and the first half of fiscal year 2025, respectively.

Current report

Cost of service revenue decreased by $3.0 million, or 5.7%, and by $6.6 million, or 6.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by: (1) a reduction in the deployment of field replacement units, contributing to cost savings of $9.4 million and $15.8 million, respectively; (2) lower rework and production costs; and (3) our cost reduction efforts to manage fleet optimizations. These reductions were partially offset by: (a) an increase in maintenance material costs of $1.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively; (b) higher repair and overhaul expenses of $4.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively, due to the older fleet of the Energy Server systems requiring more service, partially mitigated by the repowering of our PPA and Managed Services portfolios.

Current report

Cost of electricity revenue decreased by $1.5 million, or 16.0%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and increased by $0.5 million, or 2.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was attributed mainly to reduced straight-line electricity revenue following the repowering of certain Managed Services related sites. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was mainly due to redeploying assets for our partner to enable a one-time settlement of a customer contract, partially offset by the reduction in the number of installed units.

Current report

Total gross profit increased by $38.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to (1) a $32.9 million increase in product gross profit, predominantly driven by an increase in demand for our products, and our continued efforts to reduce material, labor, and overhead costs through enhanced manufacturing processes and increased automation and (2) a $4.9 million increase in service gross profit due to our efforts to manage fleet optimizations. There were no material fluctuations in installation gross loss and electricity gross profit.

Current report

Service gross profit improved by $4.9 million and $5.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Current report

The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily driven by: (1) a reduction in the deployment of field replacement units, contributing to cost savings of $9.4 million; (2) a $2.0 million increase in revenue from maintenance contracts associated with our fleet of Energy Server systems; (3) lower rework and production costs, and (4) our cost reduction efforts to proactively manage fleet optimizations. The increase was partially offset by: (a) higher repair and overhaul expenses of $4.1 million due to the older fleet of the Energy Server systems requiring more service, partially mitigated by the repowering of our PPA and Managed Services portfolios in current and previous periods; (b) an increase in maintenance material costs of $1.4 million; and (c) an increase in inventory provision of $1.0 million.

Current report

The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily driven by: (1) a reduction in the deployment of field replacement units, contributing to cost savings of $15.8 million, (2) lower rework and production costs, which declined by $1.3 million, and (3) our cost reduction efforts to proactively manage fleet optimizations. The increase was partially offset by: (a) higher repair and overhaul expenses of $7.4 million, due to the aging fleet of the Energy Server systems requiring more service, partially mitigated by the repowering of our PPA and Managed Services portfolios in current and previous periods; (b) an increase in maintenance material costs of $2.8 million; and (c) a $0.7 million increase in product performance guarantee costs, reflecting the effects of fleet depreciation.

Current report

Electricity gross profit increased by $0.1 million and $11.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was predominantly due to a one-time settlement of a customer contract after redeploying assets for our partner. The year over year change for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was immaterial.

Current report

Total operating expenses increased by $19.0 million and $39.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to the following factors:(1) employee compensation and benefits, which increased by $14.7 million and $31.3 million, respectively, largely due to higher stock-based compensation and bonus-related expenses; (2) consulting, advisory, and professional services costs increased by $2.6 million and $5.0 million, respectively, reflecting increased use of external resources to support marketing initiatives and finance team; (3) computer equipment costs, which increased by $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, primarily due to increased spending on hardware and software maintenance; (4) facilities costs, which increased by $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively, predominantly due to higher utility expenses, partially offset by lower rent and common area maintenance costs; (5) consumable laboratory supplies and other lab-related costs, which increased by $1.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, reflecting expanded research activities; (6) travel and entertainment expenses increased by $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, due to higher in-person engagement and event participation; and (7) depreciation expenses, which increased by $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by (a) a reduction in office expenses of $0.8 million and $2.3 million, predominantly related to lower factoring and financing fees as well as reduced corporate insurance costs; and (b) a decrease in other operating expenses of $1.8 million and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Current report

Research and development expenses increased by $3.4 million and $8.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by: (1) employee compensation and benefits, which increased by $3.6 million and $7.6 million, respectively, largely due to higher stock-based compensation and bonus-related expenses, (2) consumable laboratory supplies and other lab-related costs, which increased by $0.7 million and $1.5 million, reflecting expanded research activities, and (3) computer equipment costs, which increased by $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, primarily due to increased spending on hardware and software maintenance. These increases were partially offset by (a) a decrease in other research and development expenses of $0.8 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and (b) a reduction in consulting, advisory, and professional services costs of $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $6.2 million and $14.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to the following factors: (1) employee compensation and benefits increased by $4.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively, largely driven by higher stock-based compensation and bonus expenses, (2) consulting, advisory, and professional services costs increased by $1.0 million and $2.9 million, reflecting increased use of external resources to support marketing initiatives, (3) travel and entertainment expenses grew by $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, due to higher in-person engagement and event participation, and (4) office and other expenses increased by $0.1 million and $0.5 million, primarily due to higher subscription and software-related costs.

Current report

General and administrative expenses increased by $9.4 million and $16.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by: (1) employee compensation and benefits, which increased by $7.0 million and $13.6 million, respectively, primarily due to higher stock- based compensation expenses driven by new equity awards granted to our executives, including the Chief Executive Officer on December 18, 2024, and was partially offset by lower bonus expenses, (2) consulting, advisory, and professional services costs, which increased by $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, reflecting greater use of external resources to support finance team, (3) facilities costs, which increased by $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, primarily due to higher utility expenses, partially offset by lower rent and common area maintenance costs, (4) computer equipment costs, which increased by $0.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, driven by higher spending on hardware and software maintenance, and (5) depreciation expenses, which increased by $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by (a) a reduction in office expenses of $0.9 million and $2.8 million, predominantly related to lower factoring and financing fees as well as reduced corporate insurance costs, and (b) a decrease in other general and administrative expenses of $1.1 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

Current report

Total stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased by $10.8 million compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily attributable to a $10.4 million increase in expense related to performance stock units (PSUs) and restricted stock units (RSUs). The higher expense was mainly driven by (1) new equity awards granted to both executive and non-executive employees, including new awards for our CEO granted on December 18, 2024, and (2) an increase in Bloom’s share price.

Current report

Interest expense decreased by approximately $1.0 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower interest expense of $2.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively, associated with our managed services agreements. These reductions were partially offset by higher interest expense of $1.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively, related to our debt.

Current report

The increase in interest expense related to our debt was primarily attributable to (a) the issuance of the 3.0% Green Notes due June 2029 on May 29, 2024, and (b) the subsequent issuance of an additional $115.7 million in aggregate principal amount of these notes as part of the Debt Exchange (see Part II, Item 8, Note 7 —Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements, section Convertible Senior Notes Debt Exchange of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), together contributing an increase in interest expense of $2.9 million and $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The increase was partially offset by (i) the partial repurchase of the 2.5% Green Notes on May 29, 2024, and (ii) the derecognition of $112.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2.5% Green Notes as part of the Debt Exchange, which together resulted in a reduction in interest expense of $1.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Current report

Loss on extinguishment of debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was $32.3 million, which was recognized as a result of the Debt Exchange transaction settled on May 13, 2025 (refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 7 —Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements, section Convertible Senior Notes Debt Exchange).

Current report

Loss on extinguishment of debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was $27.2 million, which was recognized as a result of partial repurchase on May 29, 2024, of the 2.5% Green Notes, and consisted of repayment of the 22.6% premium of $26.0 million and the write-off of $1.2 million in debt issuance costs.

Previous report

The IRA established a new clean electricity production credit and a clean electricity investment credit. Although the U.S. Treasury Department developed rules to implement credits and incentives for clean energy resources under President Biden’s administration, there is considerable uncertainty around whether, or the conditions under which such credits will be available for transactions involving our solutions in the future, including as a result of actions taken by President Trump’s administration. For information on the IRA and its impact on our business, see Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, section Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Previous report

10%, we expect an impact on gross margin of approximately one percent for the fiscal year 2025. Changes in U.S. or international trade policies, including retaliatory measures, along with continued uncertainty surrounding such policies, could lead to further weakened business conditions for our industry, which may adversely impact our operations, including through increased supply chain challenges and project delays. The ultimate impact of tariffs may be of a different nature and/or of a larger magnitude than we anticipate.

Previous report

For information on the IRA, which was signed into law on August 16, 2022, and its impact on our business, see Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, section Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Previous report

Other than the loss of the ITC for fuel cells operating on non-zero-carbon fuels expired at the end of fiscal 2024, which occurred under President Biden’s administration, we have not experienced any impact from actions relating to the IRA taken by President Trump administration.

Previous report

Product revenue increased by $58.5 million, or 38.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily due to the increase in demand for our products, improved pricing from site repowerings and improved pricing due to volume mix shift from international to domestic revenue.

Previous report

Installation revenue increased by $22.2 million, or 194.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by the timing of achieving key project milestones on sites requiring installations by us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Previous report

Cost of product revenue increased by $23.8 million, or 20.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. The increase in cost of product revenue was primarily driven by the increase in demand for our products. This increase was partially offset by our continued efforts to reduce material, labor, and overhead costs through enhanced manufacturing processes and increased automation.

Previous report

Cost of installation revenue increased by $18.0 million, or 117.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by the timing of achieving key project milestones on sites requiring installations by us in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Previous report

Cost of service revenue decreased by $3.6 million, or 6.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to (1) a decrease in the deployment of field replacement units, contributing to a decrease of $6.4 million, (2) a $3.3 million decrease in repair and overhaul expenses, partially as a result of repowering our PPA and Managed Services portfolios, which resulted in a relatively newer fleet that required less service, (3) a $1.2 million decrease in rework for production costs, and (4) our cost reduction efforts to proactively manage fleet optimizations. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in maintenance material of $1.4 million.

Previous report

Cost of electricity revenue increased by $2.0 million, or 20.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was predominantly due to redeploying assets for our partner to enable a one-time settlement of a customer contract.

Previous report

Service gross margin improved by $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. This was primarily driven by (1) a decrease in the deployment of field replacement units, contributing an improvement of $6.4 million, (2) repair and overhaul cost reductions of $3.3 million, and (3) our cost reduction efforts to proactively manage fleet optimizations. The improvement was partially offset by (1) a $2.2 million decrease in revenue from maintenance contracts associated with our fleet of Energy Server systems, (2) an increase of $0.7 million in product performance guarantees as a result of Energy Server systems fleet depreciation, and (3) the timing of revenue recognition on certain contracts.

Previous report

Electricity gross profit increased by $11.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was predominantly due to a one-time settlement of a customer contract after redeploying assets for our partner.

Previous report

Total operating expenses increased by $20.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period.

The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in office and other operating expenses of $1.5 million, primarily related to corporate insurance costs and factoring and financing fees.

Previous report

Research and development expenses increased by $5.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. This overall increase was primarily driven by (1) an increase in employee compensation and benefits of $4.0 million, predominantly due to an increase in stock-based compensation and bonus expenses, (2) an increase in consumable laboratory supplies and other laboratory-related costs of $0.8 million, and (3) an increase in consulting, advisory and other professional services costs of $0.6 million. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in other research and development expenses of $1.0 million.

Previous report

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $8.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by (1) an increase in employee compensation and benefits of $6.0 million, predominantly due to an increase in stock-based compensation and bonus expenses, and (2) an increase in consulting, advisory and other professional services costs of $1.9 million.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses increased by $6.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by (1) an increase in employee compensation and benefits of $6.6 million, predominantly due to stock-based compensation expenses, principally related to new awards for our Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) granted on December 18, 2024, partially offset by a decrease in bonus expenses, (2) an increase in computer equipment maintenance expenses of $1.1 million, and (3) an increase in depreciation expenses of $0.7 million. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in office and other general and administrative expenses of $1.9 million, primarily related to corporate insurance costs and factoring and financing fees.

Previous report

A decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was not material, and was primarily due to (1) a decrease in interest expense of $2.8 million related to managed services agreements, and (2) the partial repurchase of the 2.5% Green Notes on May 29, 2024, contributing a decrease in interest expense of $1.0 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $3.7 million related to the 3% Green Notes due June 2029, issued on May 29, 2024.

Bloom enables customers to address these energy market challenges by offering fuel flexible solutions designed to provide cost predictable, resilient, and reliable energy in a timely fashion. As customers and utilities navigate the energy transition and evolving landscape, the ability of our power solutions to fit their economic, regulatory, and policy needs depends on a number of factors, including natural gas availability and pricing, electrical interconnection needs and availability, redundant back up power requirements, cost requirements, and sustainability profiles. These factors may influence a customer’s decision to pursue an alternative power solution like ours — even in cases where utility interconnection timeliness span years – because the total cost to interconnect, including the build-out of energy transmission infrastructure, often remains unknown until all interconnection studies are completed.

Our islanded microgrid solution allow data center and other customers the ability to skip the interconnection queue and start construction. A key to this solution is that our Be Flexible TM load following capability allows us to follow a customer’s variable loads without the need to import power from the transmission grid. We believe avoiding lengthy interconnection queues is key to unlocking time to power for our customers. Our islanded microgrid solution also creates ratepayer savings by reducing congestion charges resulting from constraints on the transmission grid and avoiding the need for network transmission investments and upgrades that may be allocated to all ratepayers. In addition to serving a single customer as a distributed generation microgrid solution, our technology can also be used by utilities as an energy transmission asset, helping them serve customers while avoiding the costs of building new transmission and distribution infrastructure.

Our utility customers are recognizing the challenge of keeping pace with the growing demand for power. Aging infrastructure, coupled with transmission and distribution bottlenecks, are making it more difficult for utilities to integrate additional sources of energy to add capacity. Building new transmission and distribution infrastructure is expensive, takes many years, and would likely cause utility rates to increase. As demand for power continues to grow, utility companies are struggling to meet the soaring demand of data centers, while customers’ time to power becomes increasingly important. Utility companies are exploring alternative means of producing and supplying energy to their end customers, including our Energy Server systems. In 2024, we entered into multiple agreements with utilities, including a landmark 1 GW supply agreement with a customer that included a 100 MW order in 2024. We expect more utility customers in the future to supplement their power generation with the Bloom Energy Server system. As we work to reduce our product costs, and with utility rates expected to rise due to significant infrastructure investments projected over the next five years to meet rapid demand growth, we expect our energy solutions to become more cost-competitive across more countries, communities, and industries worldwide.

In the U.S., the ITC for fuel cells operating on non-zero-carbon fuels expired at the end of fiscal 2024. Although the Company and its customers utilized compliant safe harbor mechanisms to secure deployment of a certain dollar amount of Energy Server systems through 2028, the failure to extend the ITC for such fuel cells could materially impact U.S. bookings, revenue and gross margins in 2025 and beyond.

Current wording

In the U.S., the ITC for fuel cells operating on non-zero-carbon fuels expired on December 31, 2024, under the IRA. Prior to the expiration, the Company and its customers utilized compliant safe harbor mechanisms to secure deployment of a certain dollar amount of Energy Server systems that can be placed in service through 2028. The safe harbor mechanism under the IRA provides up to a 50% ITC credit for qualifying fuel cell projects. On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law and under new Section 48E, it restores the ITC at 30% for fuel cell property without regard to emissions for projects beginning construction after December 31, 2026. The 30% tax credit is available at 100% through 2033 and then will be subject to a three-year phase at 75%, 50% and 0%. Under Section 48E, fuel cell property is not eligible for the additional domestic content or energy community credits and our projects will be limited to a 30% ITC credit.

In addition, delays in adoption of Renewable Fuel Standard regulations in the U.S. for the use of biogas to generate electricity for electric vehicles, along with limited governmental focus on the utilization of biogas outside of use by methane- fueled vehicles, have created uncertainty around the broader availability of biogas for industrial uses, including our power solutions. Furthermore, in most jurisdictions, air permits and various land use permits are required for installation of our solutions above certain megawatt thresholds. The time required to obtain these permits has generally increased, while the certainty of approval has decreased, and when issued, the cost of meeting compliance requirements can be cost prohibitive. We have experienced a reluctance in certain states to issue permits for gas generation equipment. Even if issued, states may require a blend of costly renewable fuels or other measures to advance climate goals.

The interest, investment, and stimulation of clean hydrogen in the U.S., Europe and in many other regions across the globe have not yet had significant impacts on the supply of hydrogen. To date, while the number of proposed hydrogen production projects has grown rapidly, only a small fraction has reached the final investment decision stage, and an even smaller fraction has been deployed. In addition, the infrastructure needed to transport hydrogen, whether through pipelines or maritime or land-based tankers, is currently only sufficient for existing uses, and has not begun to be significantly extended for anticipated future uses, with hydrogen blending and other approaches remaining at pilot stages. It remains unclear whether regulators in some jurisdictions will allow hydrogen to be introduced into gas distribution systems, which could limit our customers’ ability to transport hydrogen from the point of production to the point of consumption. Additionally, while U.S. Treasury Department rules regarding the use of market-based renewable energy have been clarified, hurdles remain that could hinder the large-scale development of hydrogen projects. Uncertainty also exists as potential changes may be pursued by the new U.S. federal administration and Congress.

We continue to see effects from global supply chain tightness due to the current inflationary environment, war in Ukraine, and trade tensions between the U.S. and China. We are not aware of, and do not expect any significant direct impact on our business or supply chain from the armed conflict in Israel and neighboring areas. While we have not experienced any significant component shortages to date, we are facing pressures from inflation. These dynamics could worsen as a result of continued geopolitical instability or escalation of current military conflicts or trade tensions. The new U.S. federal administration has implemented new tariffs on all trade partners. Our supply chain is not dependent on China, but significant tariffs on imports from other countries where we do source materials could impact our costs. At the tariffs present levels of

In previous years, our installation projects experienced delays related to, among other factors, permitting, utility coordination, and access to customer facilities. We have not experienced any delays in 2025 in either our installation or maintenance activities. If we are delayed in or unable to perform maintenance, our previously installed products would likely experience adverse performance impacts, including reduced output and/or efficiency, which could result in warranty and/or guaranty claims by our customers. If we experience a significant increase of product failure in the future, our service expense may increase and we may fail to achieve the performance commitments to our customers, which could result in warranty and/or guaranty claims. Additionally, product failure and service costs may increase as we initially deploy new applications for our Energy Server system, including Be Flexible TM load following, CCUS, and CHP.

As we grow our business globally and increase the size and number of customer orders, we will need to secure new customer financing options, the amount of financing available as well as the number of financing partners. As we offer an innovative new technology solution, obtaining new financing partners and available funds for customer financings often involves a rigorous and timely due diligence process on our technology, manufacturing and service capabilities. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing for our customers who prefer third-party financing over purchasing the Energy Server system directly, our revenue could be delayed or impacted. In addition, our ability to arrange financing for our products depends partly on the creditworthiness of our customers, and any deterioration in their credit ratings could impact that financing. When interest rates rise, the cost of financing for our customers also increases, and financing our installations may require a higher rate of return, which can place pressure on our margins.

The combination of our cash and cash equivalents and cash flow expected 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. If these sources of cash are insufficient or not received in a timely manner to meet our near-term or future liquidity needs, we may require additional equity or debt financing to fund our operations, manufacturing capacity, product development, and market expansion initiatives, as well as to respond to competitive pressures or strategic opportunities. We may, from time to time, engage in a variety of financing transactions for such purposes, including factoring our accounts receivable. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we factored $80.7 million of accounts receivable, and there were no factoring arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2025. However, we may not be able to secure timely additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. The terms of any additional financing may limit on our financial and operational flexibility. Although we currently do not have any floating-rate notes on our balance sheet, our overall cost of capital may increase if interest rates rise and we refinance our fixed-rate convertible notes. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities, our existing stockholders could experience dilution in their ownership percentage, and any new securities may have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of our common stock.
