SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 9, 2023--
Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE: BE) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022. The company surpassed $1 billion for full year revenues for the first time.
Fourth Quarter Highlights
Total Year Highlights
Increases in fourth quarter and total year revenue of 35.1% and 23.3%, respectively, were primarily driven by increases in product acceptances and improved pricing. Cost of goods sold was impacted by non-cash impairment charges relating to the repowering of PPA IV in the fourth quarter and the repowering of PPA IIIa in the second quarter, which were excluded in our non-GAAP reporting.
Commenting on the fourth quarter and full year earnings, KR Sridhar founder, chairman and CEO of Bloom Energy said, "Bloom Energy finished 2022 in a very strong position as our resilient and sustainable energy solutions experienced wider adoption and we were aided by good tailwinds. We expect this trend to continue in 2023 and beyond. Our revenue and non-GAAP gross margin were records for the fourth quarter and for the full year and we closed 2022 with a $10 billion backlog, the strongest order book in our company's history. Bloom is now a predictable growth company. We offer the world a unique, mature, and proven platform solution at scale - a solution that can be deployed today with a clear pathway to a net-zero future."
Greg Cameron, executive vice president and CFO of Bloom Energy, added, “This year was about achieving strong commercial, operational and financial results which positions us to be a leader in the global energy transition. The demand for our AlwaysOn energy server is evidenced by our record backlog. The company is clearly at an inflection point to build on our mature technology platform, solid record of accomplishment and robust growth roadmap. We’re extremely excited about our future.”

Acceptances
We use acceptances as a key operating metric to measure the volume of our completed Energy Server installation activity from period to period. Acceptance typically occurs upon transfer of control to our customers, which depending on the contract terms is when the system is shipped and delivered to our customers, when the system is shipped and delivered and is physically ready for startup and commissioning, or when the system is shipped and delivered and is turned on and producing power.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Bloom urges you to review the reconciliations of its non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. With respect to Bloom’s expectations regarding its 2023 Outlook, Bloom is not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin measures to the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as stock-based compensation expense. Material changes to reconciling items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results and, as such, we believe that any reconciliation provided would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures
To supplement Bloom Energy condensed consolidated financial statement information presented on GAAP basis, Bloom Energy provides financial measures including non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating profit (loss), (non-GAAP earnings from operations), non-GAAP operating profit (loss) margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP basic, diluted net earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA. Bloom Energy also provides forecasts of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not computed in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP in the United States.
Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are included in the tables above or elsewhere in the materials accompanying this news release.
Use and economic substance of non-GAAP financial measures used by Bloom Energy
Non-GAAP gross profit (loss) and non-GAAP gross margin are defined to exclude charges relating to stock-based compensation expense and PPA IIIa/PPA IV repowerings related impairment charge. Non-GAAP operating profit (loss) (non-GAAP earnings from operations) and non-GAAP operating margin are defined to exclude any charges relating to stock-based compensation expense, PPA IIIa/PPA IV repowerings related impairment charge and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. Non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share consist of net earnings or diluted net earnings per share excluding stock-based compensation, loss for non-controlling interest, loss (gain) on derivatives liabilities, loss (gain) on the fair value adjustments for certain PPA derivatives, goodwill impairment, loss on China JV investment, PPA IIIa/PPA IV repowerings related impairment charge, loss on extinguishment of debt related to PPA IIIa/PPA IV repowerings and the amortization of acquired intangible assets. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation, loss for non-controlling interest, loss (gain) on derivatives liabilities, loss (gain) on the fair value adjustments for certain PPA derivatives, goodwill impairment, loss on China JV investment, PPA IIIa repowering related impairment charge, loss on extinguishment of debt related to PPA IIIa/PPA IV repowerings.
Bloom Energy management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of evaluating Bloom Energy’s historical and prospective financial performance, as well as Bloom Energy’s performance relative to its competitors. Bloom Energy believes that excluding the items mentioned above from these non-GAAP financial measures allows Bloom Energy management to better understand Bloom Energy’s consolidated financial performance as management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of ongoing operating results. More specifically, Bloom Energy management excludes each of those items mentioned above for the following reasons:
Backlog is defined as the total Product, Installation and Service Revenue associated with systems that have not yet been accepted and the Service revenue associated with systems that have been accepted but not yet placed into service. Investors rely on our backlog to make estimates of future Company revenue. Backlog is used by the Company's management to project future revenue, manufacturing, and CAPEX investments. When assessing backlog, management assumes annual renewals per contract terms, which generally varies from 6, 10, 15 or 20 years.
Material limitations associated with use of non-GAAP financial measures
These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Bloom Energy results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations in relying on these non-GAAP financial measures are:
Compensation for limitations associated with use of non-GAAP financial measures
Bloom Energy compensates for the limitations on its use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement. Bloom Energy also provides a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure within this news release and in other written materials that include these non-GAAP financial measures, and Bloom Energy encourages investors to review those reconciliations carefully.
Usefulness of non-GAAP financial measures to investors
Bloom Energy believes that providing financial measures including non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating profit (non-GAAP earnings from operations), non-GAAP operating profit (loss) margin, non-GAAP net earnings, non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by Bloom Energy management in its financial and operational decision making and allows investors to see Bloom Energy’s results “through the eyes” of management. Bloom Energy further believes that providing this information better enables Bloom Energy investors to understand Bloom Energy’s operating performance and to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by Bloom Energy management to evaluate and measure such performance. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of Bloom Energy’s operating performance with the performance of other companies in Bloom Energy’s industry that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures that may be calculated in a similar manner.
