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 Businessin our 2024 Form 10-K.
Liquidity
While we have generally incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception, we generated $19.7 million of positive cash flows from operations during the three months ended September 30, 2025. With the series of new convertible debt offerings, debt extinguishments, debt exchanges and convertible debt conversions to equity that we completed since 2021, we had $1,128.0 million and $4.3 million of total outstanding recourse and non-recourse debt, respectively, as of September 30, 2025, $1.4 million and $1,130.9 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.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of August 15, 2025, the maturity date, the remaining $2.2 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.5% Green Notes outstanding following the Debt Exchange, was settled through the issuance of the Company’s Class A common stock. For details of the Debt Exchange and debt settlement, see Note 8 —Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements, sections Convertible Senior Notes Debt Exchange and 2.5% Green Notes Settlement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our future capital requirements depend on many factors, including the market acceptance of our products, 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, our ability to secure financing for customer use of our products, the timing of installations, inventory build up and increase in factory capacity 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.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act
For information on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) signed into law on August 16, 2022, and its impact on our business, see Part II, Item 8, Note 1 —Nature of Business, Liquidity and Basis of Presentation, section Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 in our 2024 Form 10-K.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBBA”) was enacted into law, extending key provisions of 2017 Tax Act and modifying various federal clean energy tax provisions of the IRA. Under the OBBBA, fuel cell property is eligible for a 30% Investment Tax Credit (“ITC”) for projects beginning construction after December 31, 2025, under Section 48E. The Company also retains the 30% tax credit and the additional 10% tax credit for domestic content and 10% tax credit for energy communities for qualified fuel cell projects that properly utilize the safe harbor equipment the Company purchased in 2024 prior to the phaseout of such credits for fuel cell property under the IRA, provided such safe harbor equipment is placed in service by December 31, 2028. The OBBBA reinstituted accelerated depreciation that will be applicable to property purchased and placed in service after January 19, 2025, including fuel cell property that begins construction after December 31, 2026. The OBBBA also added “Foreign Entity of Concern” requirements for the Section 45E tax credit to deny credits from projects that are owned or controlled by certain foreign entities or use components from or make payments to these foreign entities. The OBBBA also restored the expensing of domestic research expenditures for years beginning after December 31, 2024. The addition of the 30% ITC for fuel cell property projects that begin construction after December 31, 2025, is expected to have a favorable impact on the continued adoption of the Company’s Energy Server systems and financial results.

Concentration of Risk
Geographic Risk— The majority of our revenue and long-lived assets are attributable to operations in the U.S. for all periods presented. In addition to shipments in the U.S., we also ship our Energy Server systems to other countries, primarily, the Republic of Korea, Japan, India and Taiwan (collectively referred to as the “Asia Pacific region”), and several European countries, namely Germany, UK and Italy. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, total revenue in the U.S. was 92% and 72%, respectively, of our total revenue. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, total revenue in the U.S. was 52% and 60%, respectively, of our total revenue.
Credit Risk— At September 30, 2025, three customers, accounted for approximately 26%,22% and 17% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2024, three customers, the first of which was a related party, accounted for approximately 28%,28% and 20% of accounts receivable. To date, we have not experienced any material credit losses from these customers.
Customer Risk — During the three months ended September 30, 2025, one customer, which is our related party, accounted for approximately 55% of total revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, three customers, the first of which is our related party, accounted for approximately 23%,19% and 15% of total revenue, respectively.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, revenue from three customers, the first of which is our related party, accounted for approximately 38%,20% and 10% and of our total revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, two customers, the first of which is our related party, represented approximately 37% and 21% of our total revenue.
For information on the related party transactions, see Note 11 — Related Party Transactions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Equity Method Investments
We account for investments in entities based on the level of ownership and the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. If an entity is organized as a limited partnership or limited liability company and maintains separate ownership accounts, we generally account for our investment using the equity method if our ownership interest is 50% or less, unless our interest is so minor that we have virtually no influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies. For all other types of investments, we generally apply the equity method of accounting if our ownership interest is between 20% and 50% and we exercise significant influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies. These investments are presented as investments in unconsolidated affiliates on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Income or loss from equity-method investees is reported in equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates on our condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the related carrying value is presented as investments in unconsolidated affiliates on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Distributions received from equity method investees, if any, are recorded as reductions to the carrying value of the investment on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates is adjusted for profit (loss) incurred from sales transactions. Such profit is amortized into equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates on our condensed consolidated statements of operations over the remaining useful lives of the underlying assets.
When timely financial information of an equity method investee is not available, we record our share of the investee’s results on a one-quarter reporting lag using the best estimate, consistent with ASC 323 Investments — Equity Method and Joint Ventures(“ASC 323”). We believe this approach is reasonable and consistently applied. We evaluate whether any events or transactions during the lag period would materially affect our consolidated financial position or results of operations and, if so, record appropriate adjustments in the current period.
An impairment of an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate is recognized when circumstances indicate that a decline in the investment value is other-than-temporary.
For a complete discussion of our accounting policies, refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 2 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policiesin our 2024 Form 10-K.
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
Refer to the accounting guidance not yet adopted described in Part II, Item 8, Note 2 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, section Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted in our 2024 Form 10-K. Based on the Company’s continued evaluation, we do not expect a material impact from new accounting guidance not yet adopted to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2025-05 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The ASU introduces a practical expedient for all entities when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under the practical expedient, when developing reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses, an entity may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The ASU is effective for annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in both interim and annual reporting periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-05 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, FASB issued ASU 2025-06 Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The ASU eliminates references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages within Subtopic 350-40. Under the revised guidance, entities must begin capitalizing software costs once both of the following conditions are met: (a) management has approved and committed funding for the software project; (b) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended (the “probable-to-complete” threshold). The ASU is effective for annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounts receivable and contract assets increased by $75.8 million and $113.7 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to the timing of billing milestones.
The decrease in customer deposits of $185.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily driven by certain deposits becoming non-refundable, partially offset by receipt of new deposits.
For additional information on contract assets and liabilities, see Part II, Item 8, Note 3 —Revenue Recognition, section Contract Balances in our 2024 Form 10-K.

- Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
In August 2025, Bloom Energy concluded a transaction with Brookfield Asset Management (“Brookfield”) for a prospective financing framework structure (the “Financing Structure”) of up to $5.0 billion over five years for future Bloom Energy fuel cell projects that meet certain investment criteria and contractual criteria or are otherwise approved by Brookfield. The Financing Structure is housed in an AI Infrastructure Fund created by Brookfield (the “AI Fund”). Generally, Bloom fuel cell projects financed through the Financing Structure will be owned by the AI Fund under one oftwo categories of the Financing Structure. For each Bloom fuel cell project that has a term less than five years under the Financing Structure (Short
Term AI Fund), Bloom Energy will contribute sufficient funds for a passive equity holding not to exceed 9.9%. For each Bloom fuel cell project that has a term greater than or equal tofive years under the Financing Structure (Long Term AI Fund) Bloom Energy will contribute sufficient funds for a passive equity holding not to exceed the lesser of (i)9.9% of the equity amount and (ii)2% of the projected investment amount, and these projects that arefive years or longer will entitle Bloom to a put right back to the AI Fund at a set rate of return. For each category, the AI Fund and Bloom have agreed on target returns for projects, and Bloom Energy expects to receive its proportional distribution with respect to each project. Bloom Energy and Brookfield have also entered into a project under the Financing Structure but outside of Short Term AI Fund and Long Term AI Fund pursuant to which Bloom Energy contributed a passive equity investment of 15%, and the parties retain the ability to enter into other such JVs outside the AI Fund (the “Other JVs”).
The Financing Structure contains provisions that provide Brookfield (i) exclusivity over certain types of Bloom fuel cell projects, (ii) periodic review by Brookfield of Bloom’s fuel cell project pipeline and, consequently, (iii) a stand still arrangement restricting Brookfield and certain of its affiliates from owning and trading Bloom Energy stock.
The Company accounts for each investment in both the AI Fund JVs and the Other JVs (collectively, the “Fund JVs”) as an investment under the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC 323. The AI Fund and Brookfield hold the remaining ownership interests and serve as the primary beneficiaries; accordingly, both the AI Fund JVs, whether the Short Term AI Fund or Long Term AI Fund, and the Other JVs are not consolidated by the Company. As of September 30, 2025, the Company holds equity interests in the following Fund JVs:
| Bloom Equity Interest as of September 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| AI Fund JVs | |
| Bolt US Class A JVCo LLC | 4.3% |
| Bolt US JVCo LLC | 4.3% |
| Other JVs | |
| ORC HoldCo LLC | 15.0% |
The Company’s total capital commitment to the Fund JVs as of September 30, 2025 is $41.8 million. Capital contributions are made in tranches, pursuant to funding requests issued by the AI Fund or Brookfield, and are tied to specific project milestones and operational needs.
The Company’s results of operations include its proportionate share of each Fund JV’s net earnings or loss, which are reported net of Fund JV’s income tax provisions and presented as a single line item, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company records its share of profit from sales of Energy Server systems to the Fund JVs as a reduction of equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $19.6 million in accordance with ASC 323, which will be realized over the useful lives of the underlying assets as they are depreciated.
Changes in the investment balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were as follows (in thousands):
| Balances at December 31, 2024 | $— |
|---|---|
| Current period investment in unconsolidated affiliates | 25,290 |
| Equity in loss of unconsolidated affiliates | (19,599) |
| Accrued expense and other current liabilities | 248 |
| Balances at September 30, 2025 | $5,939 |
The Company records its share of the Fund JVs’ results of operations on a one-quarter reporting lag because the Fund JVs’ financial information is not available in sufficient time to apply the equity method as of the Company’s reporting date. The Company believes that the use of this lag time is reasonable in the circumstances and does not materially affect the results of operations. Any material transactions or events occurring during the lag period that would significantly affect the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations are recognized in the current reporting period.
Management evaluates each investment in each of the Fund JVs for impairment in accordance with ASC 323. Through September 30, 2025, no indicators of impairment were identified related to the investments.

Commitments
Purchase Commitments with Suppliers and Contract Manufacturers — As of September 30, 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 2024 Form 10-K.
Performance Guarantees — We paid $2.4 million and $17.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, for guarantees that we provide customers on the output performance of our Energy Server systems. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we paid $1.9 million and $18.8 million for such performance guarantees, respectively. For additional information on performance guarantees, see Part II, Item 8, Note 13 —Commitments and Contingencies, section Commitments in our 2024 Form 10-K.
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 December 31, 2024, the balance of this cash-collateralized letter of credit was $9.5 million. The entire balance of the cash-collateralized letter of credit related to PPA II was released in the second quarter of the fiscal year 2025 and the balance of the funds returned to the Company.
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 September 30, 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 $24.4 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 fund 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 September 30, 2025, and
December 31, 2024, the balance of the restricted cash fund was $7.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively.
Contingencies
Indemnification Agreements —See Part II, Item 8, Note 13 —Commitments and Contingencies, section Contingenciesin our 2024 Form 10-K. 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 2024 Form 10-K.
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). 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 April 26, 2023, Judge Gilstrap stayed the district court action pending arbitrability determinations by the arbitrator in the WIPO proceeding. 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 focusing 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 and the first half of 2025. An evidentiary hearing with witness testimony commenced on July 21, 2025, and continued through August 1, 2025. Post hearing briefs were submitted on October 3, 2025. There is no set time frame for a decision from the Arbitrator on the first phase of the arbitration. 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 Information in our 2024 Form 10-K.
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 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
- Income Taxes
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an income tax provisions of $0.3 million and $1.8 million on pre-tax losses of $22.6 million and $86.8 million for effective tax rates of (1.5)% and (2.1)%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an income tax provision of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, on pre-tax losses of $14.5 million and $131.9 million for effective tax rates of (0.8)% and (0.4)%, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, is lower than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to a full valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.
As of July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law in the U.S., which contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses (see Note 1 —Nature of Business, Liquidity and Basis of Presentation, section Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). We are evaluating the full effects of the legislation, however we do not expect it to materially change our effective income tax rate for 2025.
For additional information on income taxes, refer to Part II, Item 8, Note 15 —Income Taxes in our 2024 Form 10-K.
