NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- Organization and Operations
Fluence Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent Company”), was formed on June 21, 2021. We conduct our business operations through Fluence Energy, LLC and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Upon the completion of our initial public offering (the “IPO”) on November 1, 2021, Fluence Energy, Inc. became a holding company whose sole material assets are the limited liability interests (“LLC Interests”) in Fluence Energy, LLC. All of our business is conducted through Fluence Energy, LLC, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries. Fluence Energy, LLC is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and, as a result, its members, including Fluence Energy, Inc. will pay income taxes with respect to their allocable shares of its net taxable income.
Our fiscal year begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. References to “fiscal year 2023,” “fiscal year 2024”, and “fiscal year 2025” refer to the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023, September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2025, respectively.
On November 1, 2021, the Parent Company completed an IPO and a series of organization transactions (collectively with the IPO, the “Transactions”), in which the Company issued and sold 35,650,000 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), at the public offering price of $28.00 per share, which includes the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase an additional 4,650,000 shares of the Class A common stock. The net proceeds to the Company from the IPO were $948.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts. Other offering expenses incurred related to the IPO were paid for by Fluence Energy, LLC.
- Basis of Presentation
These condensed parent company financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Fluence Energy, Inc. and the accompanying notes thereto, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. For purposes of these condensed financial statements, the Parent Company's interest in Fluence Energy, LLC is recorded based upon its proportionate share of Fluence Energy, LLC’s net assets (similar to presenting them on the equity method).
Certain intercompany balances presented as related party balances in these condensed Parent Company financial statements are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
- Commitments and Contingencies
On October 27, 2021, the Parent Company entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with Fluence Energy, LLC, Siemens Industry, Inc. (“Siemens Industry”) and AES Grid Stability, LLC (“AES Grid Stability” and together with Siemens Industry, the “Founders”) which obligates the Parent Company to make payments to the Founders of 85% of the amount of certain tax benefits that Fluence Energy, Inc. actually realizes, or in some circumstances is deemed to realize, arising from the basis adjustments and certain other tax benefits arising from payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Increases in tax basis and tax basis adjustments generated over time may increase (for tax purposes) the depreciation and amortization deductions available to Fluence Energy, Inc. and, therefore, may reduce the amount of U.S. federal, state, and local tax that Fluence Energy, Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the Internal Revenue Service may challenge all or part of the validity of that tax basis, and a court could sustain such a challenge.
The amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are contingent upon (i) sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the tax benefits; (ii) Fluence Energy, LLC is able to fully depreciate or amortize its assets; and (iii) no material changes in applicable tax law. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned upon continued ownership of Fluence Energy, LLC by the Founders. With the exception of a $0.3 million payment under the Tax Receivable Agreement realized as of September 30, 2025, we determined it is not probable that additional payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement would be made, given there was no expectation of future sufficient taxable income over the term of the agreement to utilize deductions in the future.
Refer to “Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding pending and threatening legal proceedings, regulatory proceedings, and governmental investigations.
- Convertible Senior Notes, Net
In December 2024, the Parent Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% convertible senior notes due 2030. These 2030 Convertible Senior Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture, dated as of December 12, 2024, between the Parent Company and UMB Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Senior Notes were $389.4 million, net of $10.6 million of debt issuance costs.
The 2030 Convertible Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Parent Company and accrue interest at a rate of 2.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears, on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2025. The 2030 Convertible Senior Notes will mature on June 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The 2030 Convertible Senior Notes have an initial conversion rate of 46.8472 shares of the Parent Company’s Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2030 Convertible Senior Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $21.35 per share of the Parent Company’s Class A common stock. The conversion rate is subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. If a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, then the Parent Company will in certain circumstances increase the conversion rate for a specified period of time.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the 2030 Convertible Senior Notes, the Parent Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain financial institutions pursuant to capped call confirmations (collectively the “Capped Calls”). The premiums paid for the purchases of the Capped Calls were $29.0 million. The Capped Calls have an initial strike price of approximately $21.35 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2030 Convertible Senior Notes. The Capped Calls have an initial cap price of $28.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the corresponding 2030 Convertible Senior Notes. The Capped Calls cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 18.7 million shares of the Parent Company’s Class A common stock.
Intercompany Convertible Subordinated Note
In relation to the 2030 Convertible Senior Notes issued by the Parent Company, an intercompany convertible subordinated note (the “Intercompany Note”) was issued by Fluence Energy, LLC to the Parent Company on December 12, 2024 and is presented as “Long-term notes receivable - related party” on the condensed balance sheet. The Intercompany Note has the same principal amount of the 2030 Convertible Senior Notes and mirrors the terms and conditions of the 2030 Convertible Senior Notes. Pursuant to the Intercompany Note, the Parent Company has transferred the net proceeds received from the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Senior Notes to Fluence Energy, LLC, and Fluence Energy, LLC effectively assumes all the rights and obligations of the Parent Company under the 2030 Convertible Senior Notes.
An expense reimbursement agreement was also executed between the Parent Company and Fluence Energy, LLC on December 12, 2024. Pursuant to this agreement, Fluence Energy, LLC has reimbursed and indemnified the Parent Company for all expenses related to the offering and issuance of the 2030 Convertible Senior Notes, including the associated Capped Calls. As of September 30, 2025, the Parent Company recorded net interest expense of $1.4 million, comprised of $8.6 million interest expense on the 2030 Convertible Senior Notes and $7.2 million intercompany interest income on the Intercompany Note.
Refer to “Note 13 - Convertible Senior Notes, Net” to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding the 2030 Convertible Senior Notes and the associated Capped Calls.
