Eos Energy Enterprises Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Company begins Eos Z3 battery module and Eos cube commercial manufacturing ramp

EDISON, N.J., Aug. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: EOSE) (“Eos” or the “Company”), a leading provider of safe, scalable, efficient, and sustainable zinc-based long duration energy storage systems, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Key Highlights

• $0.2 million of revenue, compared to $5.9 million in 2Q 2022, as the Company strategically transitions manufacturing to the Eos Z3™ energy storage system.
• Cost of Goods Sold of $11.2 million, a 69% decrease compared to 2Q 2022, driven by a decrease in volume partially offset by commissioning related expenses.
• $23.6 million in operating expenses, an 11% decrease compared to 2Q 2022, primarily driven by reduced professional services partially offset by a non-cash Gen 2.3 equipment write down.
• $23.2 million cash balance on June 30, 2023, compared to $16.1 million on March 31, 2023.
• Booked $86.9 million in orders during the first half of 2023, resulting in an order backlog of $533.6 million as of June 30, 2023, a 17% increase compared to June 30, 2022.
• The Company continues to progress through the Department of Energy Loan Programs’ process for its Title XVII loan and is anticipating a decision regarding conditional approval in the near term.

Eos Chief Executive Officer Joe Mastrangelo said, “We have made significant progress on our transition to Z3 and I am very pleased with the initial output and performance of the semi-automated line. We are seeing clear advantages with Z3’s cycle time, performance consistency, and system simplification. Being able to run discrete manufacturing processes in the first half of the year has resulted in valuable learnings which we believe will result in both time and capital efficiencies as we develop our state-of-the art manufacturing line and begin to scale our production.”

Mastrangelo continued, “There is still a lot of hard work ahead of us and we are excited to build out our future manufacturing line and continue the Z3 transition to deliver, at scale, what the market needs so badly – a commercially available alternative to lithium-ion technology that we believe is safe, durable, flexible, non-flammable, non-corrosive and easily recycled.”

Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters set forth in this press release are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the tax credits available to our customers or to Eos pursuant to the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, statements regarding our ability to secure conditional commitment or final approval of a loan from the Department of Energy LPO, or our anticipated use of proceeds from any loan facility provided by the US Department of Energy, statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, them. Because such statements are based on expectations as to future financial and operating results and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.

Key Metrics

Backlog. Our backlog represents the amount of revenue that we expect to realize from existing agreements with our customers for the sale of our battery energy storage systems and performance of services. The backlog is calculated by adding new orders in the current fiscal period to the backlog as of the end of the prior fiscal period and then subtracting the shipments in the current fiscal period. If the amount of an order is modified or cancelled, we adjust orders in the current period and our backlog accordingly, but do not retroactively adjust previously published backlogs. There is no comparable US-GAAP financial measure for backlog. We believe that the backlog is a useful indicator regarding the future revenue of our Company.

Pipeline. Our pipeline represents projects for which we have submitted technical proposals or non-binding quotes plus letters of intent (“LOI”) or firm commitments from customers. Pipeline does not include lead generation projects.

Booked Orders. Booked orders are orders where we have legally binding agreements with a Purchase Order (“PO”) or Master Supply Agreement (“MSA”) executed by both parties.
