Supply Chain and Manufacturing Updates
Current report
Our energy storage business is supported by a strategically diversified global supply chain, including contract manufacturers located throughout the world. The Company is actively working to add and scaling up more contract manufacturer facilities to the Company’s supply chain, including in Houston. We are exposed to risks associated with scaling up manufacturing to larger commercial volumes and with the launch of new products and platforms, including Gridstack Pro and Smartstack, which have and may in the future require alterations to existing manufacturing processes. Scaling up new contracting manufacturing facilities also has and may in the future result in unexpected production delays and cost overruns. Generally, our product development, manufacturing, and testing protocols are complex and require significant technological and production process expertise. Any manufacturing delay or disruption from our contract manufacturers or any of our suppliers or cost overruns has in the past caused and may in the future cause a delay or disruption in our ability to meet commitments to our customers and has impacted and may in the future impact our business and results of operations. For more information about the potential risks relating to our supply chain and contract manufacturing efforts, see Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report.
Current report
In the event of delays or disruptions, we work with such contract manufacturer to put in place appropriate corrective measures and corrective plans to remediate the production issues going forward and improve the Company’s execution. We currently believe that recently enacted corrective measures will help to remediate adverse impacts of production issues. However, if our remediation efforts are not successful, they could have an adverse impact on our customers and our business and results of operations and could cause our results to vary materially from period to period. Failure to meet production expectations has and could in the future result in delayed product deliveries, increased costs, reduced revenue, and reputational harm and has and could in the future materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects. However, by prioritizing operational excellence and maintaining strong relationships with our partners and customers, we are confident in our ability to continue to navigate challenges and support sustainable growth in future periods through our contract manufacturing operations and supply chain.

Gross profit decreased by $55.9 million, or 63%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to, (i) liquidated damages incurred due to project delays as described above in “Revenue”, (ii) cost overruns primarily related to deployment of newer solutions offerings, and (iii) increased estimated total contract costs on certain projects due to increases in battery prices, partially offset by the IEEPA tariff refunds as described above in “Cost of goods and services.”

•Net cash flows used in operating activities of $366.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2026 were primarily due to (i) net loss of $136.1 million, (ii) increases in inventory of $321.4 million due to cash expenditures on inventory, and (iii) increases in advances to suppliers of $99.6 million. These cash outflows were partially offset by positive net effects of $224.6 million due to changes in customer contract related assets and liabilities. Specifically, deferred revenue, inclusive of related parties, increased in aggregate by $296.6 million, while receivables, inclusive of trade, unbilled accounts receivable and receivables from related parties, increased in aggregate by $72.0 million due to timing of various customer project billings and cash collections in accordance with contract milestone payment schedules.

Previous wording
Growth of the battery storage industry and the continued adoption of energy storage solutions by our customers has been driven in part by the overall decrease in cost of lithium-ion energy storage hardware, mainly the cost of lithium-ion batteries, over the last decade or so. However, we have recently seen an increase in prices of lithium carbonate and other commodities since December 2025. The market for energy storage continues to rapidly evolve and while we believe lithium-ion battery costs will continue to decline over the long-term, they may not decline or decline at the rates we expect, if at all over the long-term. Our revenue growth is directly tied to the continued adoption of energy storage products by our customers, which may be affected by commodity raw material price fluctuations and component price fluctuations. As we have not historically been the buyer of raw materials for our components and energy storage products, we have not historically entered into hedging arrangements to mitigate commodity risk. Significant price changes or reduced availability for our raw materials and components has had and may in the future have a deleterious effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As of the date of this Report, we believe that under the current language of the OBBBA, which is subject to Treasury guidance issued on February 12, 2026 and any future regulations, our U.S. domestic suppliers are in compliance with the new applicable prohibited foreign entity (“PFE”) restrictions set forth in the OBBBA. Our procurement operations, however, remain subject to a complex and evolving supply chain and regulatory landscape.

Our energy storage solutions incorporate many components and materials sourced from a variety of countries, resulting in exposure to international supply chain risks and logistics disruptions. Uncertain potential actions, policies, and legislation of various government authorities on international and domestic trade, including new or increased tariffs or quotas, border taxes, embargoes, safeguards, duties arising out of various governmental investigations, trade controls, and customs restrictions may impact our ability to manage our costs of production which may then impact our business and results of operations. For example, on February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated tariffs imposed by the U.S. government under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). In March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) must refund duties imposed under IEEPA. In response, CBP launched the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries portal within the Automated Commercial Environment on April 20, 2026, and the Company has filed a claim for a refund of IEEPA tariffs previously paid. In addition, immediately after issuance of the decision regarding the IEEPA tariffs, the U.S. government initiated new tariffs under alternative authorities. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the duration of existing and newly announced tariffs and surcharges, potential changes or pauses to such tariffs, the tariff refund process and timing related thereto, tariff levels, and whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended, and the impacts of such actions on Fluence’s business. Fluence continues to monitor and evaluate these developments and assess their potential impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. See Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report for further discussion on risks relating to changes in the trade environment.
