Product revenue of $146.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 26.4% from the second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by a 41.5% increase in acceptances.
  • Gross margin of 16.3% in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 2.3 percentage points compared to gross margin of 14.0% in the second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by improved product cost and favorable sales mix from growth in product and electricity.

  • Operating margin of (18.7%) in the second quarter of 2021, a decline of 3.0 percentage points compared to operating margin of (15.7%) in the second quarter of 2020, driven by increases in operating expenses to expand our commercial capability, invest in technology and ensure our control environment is ready to scale for growth.
  • Non-GAAP operating margin was (10.3%) in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of 4.5 percentage points compared to non-GAAP operating margin of (5.8%) in the second quarter of 2020, driven by increases in operating expenses to expand our commercial capability, invest in technology and ensure our control environment is ready to scale for growth.

Commenting on the second quarter, KR Sridhar, founder, chairman, and CEO of Bloom Energy said, “We believe there are three key imperatives in the energy market today – resiliency, sustainability and cost-predictability. Bloom Energy is uniquely positioned with our Bloom Energy Server to solve these challenges and the global marketplace is recognizing this. We believe our business is poised for growth given the progress we have made in deploying our products and the demand we are seeing from partners and customers around the world. We are investing in our technology, continuing to innovate, and adding people and infrastructure to meet these opportunities in the months and years ahead.”

Greg Cameron, executive vice president and CFO of Bloom Energy added, “Bloom Energy is executing well, as we achieved record revenue, acceptances, and generated positive free cash flow in the second quarter. We are making progress on our operational and financial milestones. While we face some temporary operating cost pressures, we remain confident in our business and are reaffirming our full year 2021 guidance.”

Revenue Highlights

Revenue of $228.5 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 21.6% compared to revenue of $187.9 million in the second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by a $30.7 million increase in product revenue and a $9.5 million increase in service revenue.

Product revenue increased $30.7 million, or 26.4%, in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by a 41.5% increase in product acceptances. 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 physically ready for startup and commissioning, or when the system is shipped and delivered and is turned on and producing power. In the second quarter of 2021, we were able to achieve a larger number of acceptances at time of delivery than in the prior year.

Service revenue increased $9.5 million in the second quarter 2021 as compared to the prior year period. This increase is driven by continued additions to our installation base.

Margin Highlights

GAAP gross margin in the second quarter of 2021 was 16.3%, up 2.3 percentage points compared to 14.0% in the second quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP gross margin in the second quarter of 2021 was 18.0%, up 1.5 percentage points compared to 16.5% in the second quarter of 2020. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by improved product cost and favorable sales mix from growth in product and electricity.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Bloom Energy’s cash position, including restricted cash, as of June 30, 2021 was $400.5 million, compared to $324.1 million as of June 30, 2020. Unrestricted cash as of June 30, 2021 was $204.0 million, compared to $144.1 million as of June 30, 2020. Bloom ended the second quarter of 2021 with $519.2 million of total debt, a decrease of $3.0 million from the first quarter of 2021. Non-recourse debt as of June 30, 2021 was $219.2 million, compared to $222.2 million as of March 31, 2021.

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 2021 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.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures (preliminary & unaudited) (in thousands)

Gross Profit and Gross Margin to Gross Profit Excluding Stock-Based Compensation and Gross Margin Excluding Stock-Based Compensation

Gross profit and gross margin excluding stock-based compensation (SBC) are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to gross profit or gross margin, as determined under GAAP. These measures remove the impact of stock-based compensation. We believe that gross profit and gross margin excluding stock-based compensation supplement the GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period. A reconciliation of gross profit and gross margin excluding stock-based compensation to gross profit and gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and the computation of gross margin excluding stock-based compensation are as follows:

Operating Loss to Operating Income (Loss) Excluding Stock-Based Compensation

Operating income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation is a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to operating loss, as determined under GAAP. This measure removes the impact of stock-based compensation. We believe that operating income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation supplements the GAAP measure and enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period. A reconciliation of operating income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation to operating loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of operating income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation are as follows:

Net Loss to Adjusted Net Loss and Computation of Adjusted Net Loss per Share (EPS)

Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net loss and net loss per share, as determined under GAAP. These measures remove the impact of the non-controlling interests associated with our legacy PPA entities, the revaluation of derivatives, fair market value adjustment for the PPA derivatives, and stock-based compensation, all of which are non-cash charges. We believe that adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share supplement GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period. A reconciliation of adjusted net loss to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted net loss per share are as follows:

Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to operating loss or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense, non-controlling interest, revaluations, stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense. 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. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is as follows:
