Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press 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 2024 Outlook, Bloom is not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating income 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 consolidated financial statement information presented on a GAAP basis, Bloom Energy provides financial measures including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating loss margin, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP basic and diluted loss per share and Adjusted EBITDA. Bloom Energy also provides forecasts of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating profit (loss).

These non-GAAP financial measures are not computed in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP in the United States.

  • The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit.
  • The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP gross margin is gross margin.
  • The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating loss is operating loss.
  • The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating margin is operating margin.
  • The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net loss is net loss.
  • The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP diluted loss per share is diluted loss per share.
  • The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net loss.

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 and non-GAAP gross margin are defined to exclude charges relating to stock-based compensation expense, restructuring (expense reversals) charges, and other charges. Non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP diluted loss per share consist of net loss or diluted net loss per share excluding charges relating to stock-based compensation expense, gain (loss) for non-controlling interest, loss (gain) on derivatives liabilities, restructuring (expense reversals) charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other charges. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss before interest expense, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, charges relating to stock-based compensation expense, gain (loss) for non-controlling interest, loss (gain) on derivatives liabilities, restructuring (expense reversals) charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, and other charges. 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:

  • Stock-based compensation expense consists of equity awards granted based on the estimated fair value of those awards at grant date. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, Bloom Energy excludes these charges for the purpose of calculating these non-GAAP measures, primarily because they are non-cash expenses and such an exclusion facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of Bloom Energy current operating performance and comparisons to Bloom Energy operating performance in other periods.
  • Gain (loss) for non-controlling interest represents allocation to the non-controlling interests under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (HLBV) method and are associated with our Bloom Energy legacy PPA entities and the joint venture in the Republic of Korea.
  • Loss (gain) on derivatives liabilities represents non-cash adjustments to the fair value of the embedded derivatives.
  • Loss on debt extinguishment for the three months ended June 30, 2024, related to the partial repurchase of the 2.5% Green Convertible Senior Notes due August 2025 and comprised of 22.6% premium upon partial repurchase of $26.0 million and $1.2 million of debt issuance cost write-off.Loss on debt extinguishment for the three months ended June 30, 2023, related to the redemption on July 1, 2023 of 10.25% senior secured notes due March 2027 and comprised of 4% premium upon redemption of $2.3 million and $0.6 million of debt issuance cost write-off.
  • Restructuring charges and reversals, if any, are represented by severance expense, facility closure costs, and others.
  • Other represents site termination costs of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, immaterial amounts of quarterly amortization of acquired intangible assets, PPA sales property tax, and other gain from termination of a managed service agreement.
  • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Net Loss before depreciation and amortization expense, provision for income tax, interest expense, other expense, net. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our business, excluding specifically identified items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations.

For more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” “Reconciliation of GAAP Loss to non-GAAP Net Loss and Computation of non-GAAP Net Loss per Share (EPS),” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA” set forth in this release, which should be read together with the preceding financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

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:

  • Items such as stock-based compensation expense that is excluded from non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP diluted loss per share can have a material impact on the equivalent GAAP earnings measure.
  • Gain (loss) for non-controlling interest and loss (gain) on derivatives liabilities, though not directly affecting Bloom Energy’s cash position, represent the loss (gain) in value of certain assets and liabilities. The expense associated with this loss (gain) in value is excluded from non-GAAP net loss, and non-GAAP diluted loss per share and can have a material impact on the equivalent GAAP earnings measure.
  • Other companies may calculate non-GAAP gross profit (loss), non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating profit (loss) (non-GAAP earnings from operations), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings (loss), non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA differently than Bloom Energy does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

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, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating loss, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP diluted loss 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.
