Current report

Product revenue increased by $150.5 million, or 64.4%, and by $279.4 million, or 45.5%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases were primarily driven by stronger demand for our products and improved pricing.

Current report

Installation revenue increased by $33.7 million, or 105.2%, and by $50.6 million, or 58.6%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases were primarily driven by the timing of key project milestones particularly to meet our time to power milestones on certain key sites requiring our installation services during the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2025, improved deal pricing, and a one-time customer settlement.

Current report

Cost of service revenue increased by $0.5 million, or 0.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and decreased by $6.2 million, or 3.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily driven by an increase in maintenance material costs of $2.5 million. The increase was partially offset by (a) a reduction in the deployment of field replacement units, contributing to cost savings of $4.5 million, and (b) our cost reduction efforts to manage fleet optimizations. Net change for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was immaterial.

Current report

The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily driven by: (1) a reduction in the deployment of field replacement units, contributing to cost savings of $20.3 million, (2) lower rework and production costs of $1.3 million; and (3) our cost reduction efforts to manage fleet optimizations. These reductions were partially offset by an increase in maintenance material costs of $5.3 million.

Current report

Previous report

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.

Previous 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.

Previous 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.

Previous 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.

Previous report

Total gross profit increased by $89.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to (1) a $67.6 million increase in product gross profit, predominantly driven by an increase in demand for our products, improved product pricing, and our continued efforts to reduce material, labor, and overhead costs through enhanced manufacturing processes and increased automation, (2) a $11.0 million increase in electricity gross profit due to a one-time settlement of a customer contract after redeploying assets for our partner, (3) a $5.6 million increase in service gross profit due to our efforts to proactively manage fleet optimizations, and (4) a $5.0 million improvement in installation gross loss due to timing of achieving key project milestones on sites requiring installations services by us during the first half of fiscal year 2025.

Previous wording

We enable 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 on-site 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.

Previous wording

Policy proposals that have emerged in 2025 may also affect customer demand for power solutions. For example, changes to permitting rules could accelerate domestic fossil fuel infrastructure production, while proposals to limit environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act and other statutes could incentivize investment in, and reduce the cost of, fossil fuels, including natural gas. At the same time, proposals to halt new permits for wind projects, particularly offshore wind, could slow renewable energy adoption and decrease the projected available supply of renewable energy. Bloom stands ready to meet these new opportunities with our low-emission Energy Server systems.

Previous wording

Many data center customers and other large power users have signed exclusivity arrangements with their utilities, and this often creates a more complicated dynamic for them to move to an on-site solution. Rising natural gas costs in some regions, increases in gas distribution rates, limited availability of supply, and disruptions in global gas markets have increased the cost of our power solutions for customers and, in certain cases where fuel is unavailable, have resulted in a complete inability to operate the systems. In the U.S., the lack of, or slow development in, pipeline infrastructure has, in the past, impacted the timing of customers being able to take advantage of our power solution opportunities. In certain jurisdictions in the U.S. and Europe, natural gas bans have prevented the use of our power solutions unless alternative fuels are available.

Previous wording

Demand for power has continued to significantly outpace available grid-based generation supply, with the need for additional power becoming increasingly acute in recent periods. Key factors driving the increasing demand include the transition towards the electrification of transportation and buildings, the rapid adoption of AI that has led to the expansion of existing data centers and plans for new greenfield data centers, and Federal incentives for domestic manufacturing, including semiconductor and battery production. These factors, along with economic growth, have placed significant stress on grid supply and have led companies to consider on-site distributed power, including Bloom Energy Server systems, to meet their power needs.

Current wording

Demand for power has continued to significantly outpace available grid-based generation supply, with the need for additional power becoming increasingly acute. According to a report by Berkeley Lab, as of the end of 2024, nearly 2,300 gigawatts (GW) of total generation and storage capacity were actively seeking connection to the grid, which is almost twice the country’s current installed capacity. Key factors that have driven the increasing demand include the transition towards the electrification of transportation and buildings, the reshoring of manufacturing and the rapid adoption of AI. AI in particular has led to the expansion of existing data centers and plans for new greenfield data centers including AI factories, and federal incentives for domestic manufacturing, including semiconductor and battery production. These factors, along with economic growth, have placed significant stress on grid supply and have led more companies to consider on-site distributed power, including Bloom Energy Server systems, to meet their power needs.

Previous wording

The increase in power demand, has, in part, elevated the importance of time to power. According to a study published in April 2024 by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the time from initiating a request for interconnection to the grid to the start of commercial operations has more than doubled from less than two years during the period from 2000-2007, to more than four years from 2018-2023. Bloom Energy Server systems can be configured as on-site fully-islanded, microgrid solutions that are not interconnected to the grid, which often can provide a customer power in months instead of years. Many utilities have informed data center and manufacturing customers that they cannot interconnect for a period of years because the utility has no power available to serve a customer’s needs, thus making the Bloom Energy Server system an attractive alternative. In addition, our fully-islanded microgrid solutions can provide power on-site, without the need for costly transmission and distribution system upgrades that often are required before a customer can interconnect to the electrical grid. We are seeing greater interest in fully-islanded, microgrid solutions among data center customers because of these interconnection-related delays. If a customer desires back up power or a “grid parallel” solution in combination with the Bloom Energy Server system, required interconnection studies and lengthy interconnection queues may remain, eroding the time to power value proposition.

Co-locating Large Loads with Distributed Generation Configured as Islanded Microgrids are Gaining Traction as Energy Solutions to Bypass Long Interconnection Queues and Transmission Upgrades

Previous wording

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 our fuel cell solution 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.

Previous wording

The imbalance between power demand and supply has contributed to utilities seeking alternative sources of power to supply to their end customers. Utilities have been unable to meet this demand through the deployment of renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind power. Bloom Energy Server systems can be installed at the utility’s point of distribution or directly on the customer’s site. The energy produced by our systems can be utilized by utilities to provide power to a specific customer or customers or may be used by customers generally. As demand for power continues to grow, and time to power becomes increasingly important, utilities are exploring alternative means of producing and supplying energy to their end customers, including using 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. Increasing the supply of available power can allow utilities to encourage end customers to remain in their current locations rather than relocating to areas where power is more available. In addition, co-locating our Energy Server systems on-site with large loads, can enable a utility to provide power to a large energy user without impacting its rate base and providing the onsite power as an islanded microgrid can avoid interconnection studies and wait times.

Current wording

Our utility customers are recognizing the challenge of keeping pace with the growing demand for power. Utilities have been unable to meet this demand through the deployment of renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind 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. Bloom Energy Server systems can be installed at the utility’s point of distribution or directly on the customer’s site.

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.

Previous wording

The impacts of climate change, including more severe and unpredictable weather events, have placed additional strain on aging utility grids and contributed to periods of power outages for those reliant on them. In addition, the recognition of the threat of climate change has led companies and governments to set ambitious emissions goals to reduce the release of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Large increases in demand for power are expected to challenge prevailing carbon reduction trajectories when large power users turn to conventional solutions to meet their needs. The Energy Server system is able to provide highly available power to displace dirtier and less efficient conventional combustion solutions like turbines and engines. Deeper decarbonization potential is enabled through fuel flexibility, combined heat and power (“CHP”) offerings and carbon capture utilization and storage (“CCUS”) capability. In addition to natural gas, our non-combustion power solutions are designed to run on biofuels or hydrogen, emit near-zero criteria pollutants, and use no water during steady state operation.

Previous 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.

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.

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. However, 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.

In Ireland, a major data center market, a directive from the Minister for the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications under the previous administration to restrict grid connections for data centers and other large power users, along with a halt in high-pressure gas installations, has delayed our sales activities. In 2023, the South Korean government moved to a new, government-run bidding process for fuel cell purchases, which has adversely impacted and may continue to impact demand for our power solutions.

The timing of the development of hydrogen and the hydrogen market ecosystem is relevant to our business as it is a fuel that can be utilized in our Energy Server systems that support decarbonization efforts and we have an electrolyzer product to produce hydrogen. 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. Finally, the OBBBA significantly reduces the ITC for hydrogen under Section 45V as it terminates the Section 45V credit for projects that begin construction after December 31, 2027.

Many of the factors discussed above have lengthened the selling cycles for our products and we have experienced delays in our anticipated bookings as a result. Our revenue, margins, and cash flow in any given year depend on bookings from prior years as well as current-year bookings. Historically, the majority of our bookings have occurred in the second half of the year, with a significant portion in the fourth quarter, and we expect this trend to continue in 2025. However, if a substantial portion of our anticipated bookings is delayed beyond our expectations, our revenue, margins, and cash flow for the relevant period could be materially adversely impacted.

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 as well as other countries. We are not aware of, and do not expect any significant direct impact on our business or supply chain from the armed conflicts in the Middle East. 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 current administration has implemented new tariffs on all trade partners and is in the process of negotiating trade deals. As of the date of the filing on Form 10Q, in light of other cost cutting measures we have implemented we currently expect an adverse impact on gross margin of approximately one percent for the fiscal year 2025.

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 wording

Our supply chain is not dependent on China. However, China as a country supplies multiple components including 70% of rare earth metals used in electronic and electromechanical components that are part of our tier 2 and tier 3 sub-assembly suppliers. The continued escalation of trade tensions between China and the U.S. could impact our ability to source these components. In addition, significant tariffs on imports from other countries where we do source materials could impact our costs. Throughout 2025, the current administration announced, imposed and/or negotiated new tariffs and/or reciprocal tariffs with certain countries. To date, any impact on our business has been offset with other cost measures. 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.

As we grow our business globally and increase the size and number of customer orders, we will need to secure new customer financing options, and we will need to increase 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.

Total revenue increased by $344.8 million, or 38.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was driven by a $279.4 million increase in product revenue, a $50.6 million increase in installation revenue, a $8.1 million increase in electricity revenue, and a $6.9 million increase in service revenue.

Previous wording

Service revenue increased by $1.9 million, or 3.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and decreased by $1.0 million, or 0.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily driven by an increase in revenue from maintenance contracts associated with our fleet of Energy Server systems. There were no material changes in product performance guarantee costs during this period. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily due to a $0.7 million increase in product performance guarantee costs, reflecting the effects of fleet degradation. Additionally, service revenue for both periods was impacted by a reduction in revenue from part of our established install base, as specified by our revenue contracts with customers.

Current wording

Service revenue increased by $7.8 million, or 15.5%, and by $6.9 million, or 4.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. These increases were primarily driven by higher revenue from maintenance contracts associated with our fleet of Energy Server systems, which contributed $8.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively, partially offset by higher product performance guarantee costs of $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Service revenue for both periods was impacted by a reduction in revenue from part of our established install base, as specified by our revenue contracts with customers.

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 utility 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.

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.
