Eos Energy Enterprises Reports Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

EDISON, N.J., Aug. 06, 2024 (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, 2024.

Second Quarter Highlights

  • Revenue totaled $0.9 million, 261% higher than prior year period driven by higher component and commissioning revenues. In Q2, the Company focused on transitioning and commissioning its first SotA manufacturing line and deferred production to conserve capital while finalizing the strategic investment by Cerberus.
  • Cost of Goods Sold totaled $14.1 million, a 26% increase compared to prior year period primarily driven by commissioning costs related to prior period shipments, a Z3 micro-grid demonstration project, and lower labor utilization and overhead absorption resulting from SotA line transition.
  • Other operating expenses totaled $15.8 million, a 33% decrease compared to prior year period.
  • Cash balance of $52.5 million (excluding $5.1 million restricted cash) as of June 30, 2024. 
  • Terminated its existing $100 million Senior Secured Term loan for $27 million, resulting in a gain on debt extinguishment of $68.5 million.
  • Commercial opportunity pipeline of $13.8 billion, up nearly $0.5 billion from the first quarter, with an orders backlog of $586.8 million as of June 30, 2024.
  • Announced an expansion of the existing agreement with Indian Energy – the Company’s largest order funded by the California Energy Commission – adding 25 MWh of storage to the existing 35 MWh order for a project size of 60 MWh to enhance grid resiliency for the Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Indians.
  • Subsequent to quarter end, signed a 960 MWh Letter of Intent with a solar plus storage integrator and developer which is expected to convert to backlog upon customer financial closing.

Eos Chief Executive Officer Joe Mastrangelo said, “The operational momentum behind Project AMAZE continues to build with the strategic investment and partnership with Cerberus and the recent commissioning of our SotA manufacturing line. Having Cerberus as a strategic partner allows us to leverage their extensive expertise and resources, enabling Eos to drive innovation and growth and enhance our market position. We continue to work toward converting our pipeline to firm orders and delivering on our backlog and I’m incredibly proud of the entire Eos team for their dedication and commitment to our mission.”

Mastrangelo concluded, “We are now in the process of scaling our manufacturing capacity at Turtle Creek, which is expected to significantly improve the unit economics for the Z3™ Cube and serves as a critical step toward meeting the cost-out targets outlined in our path to profitability. The implementation of the SotA manufacturing line allows us the ability to supply the growing demand for a safe, domestic and commercialized alternative to incumbent battery technologies to promote grid stability.”

2024 Outlook

The Company reaffirmed the following outlook for 2024:

  • The Company expects to recognize $60 million to $90 million in revenue as it increases manufacturing volume in the second half of 2024 on the SotA manufacturing line. The current production plan is aligned with customer requirements and the Company’s cost-out roadmap.
  • The Company expects to achieve positive contribution margin before year end as multiple cost reduction actions are realized throughout the year. Contribution margin is defined as sales price less direct labor and direct materials and includes the benefit of the production tax credits.

Recent Business Highlights

Cerberus Strategic Investment

In June, the Company announced a strategic investment of up to $315.5 million from an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management LP (“Cerberus”), to support its growth plans during a secular shift in global energy markets. In the case of non-lithium technologies, Cerberus performed extensive due diligence on several different chemistries and identified Eos’s Z3 technology as a viable non-lithium technology that is ready to scale in the short term. The demand for safe alternatives to incumbent battery technologies is increasing with a greater focus on higher energy independence and security. Cerberus’ capital investment should enable Eos to deliver to the market a differentiated product which is a simple and safe energy storage solution with proprietary software capabilities.

The investment by Cerberus is structured as a $210.5 million delayed draw term loan that is partially based upon achieving operational milestones, and a $105 million revolver that the Company may draw upon, if required, at Cerberus’ discretion. In addition, the Company utilized a portion of the proceeds to retire its existing $100 million senior secured term loan on favorable terms, strengthening the Company’s balance sheet. The Company reached an agreement to extinguish this debt for $27 million, of which $20 million has been paid and the remaining $7 million will be payable over the next twelve months.

This partnership leverages both companies’ commitments to advancing domestic manufacturing and innovation and strengthens Eos’ position as a leading provider of American-made energy storage solutions. As the United States continues to transition towards a more sustainable and energy independent future, demand is growing for long duration battery storage that ensures grid stability, resilience, and efficiency.

Eos, together with Cerberus, continues to work with the United States Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office on its Title XVII conditional commitment for a loan guarantee.

Project AMAZE
In late June, the Company successfully launched commercial production from its first SotA manufacturing line. The line was designed, developed and successfully installed and commissioned in the Company’s Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania facility, and thereby, propelling the Company’s production of Eos Z3™ batteries at scale.

With the newly installed SotA manufacturing line, Eos expects to ramp up manufacturing capacity over the next six months to 1.25 GWh of annualized manufacturing capacity, with expansion plans for the line to reach 2 GWh with further capital investment. The Company’s successful implementation of SotA manufacturing line 1 is a critical cost-out component for the Company’s path to profitability. When producing at scale, Eos forecasts Z3 production costs to drop by nearly half with improved overhead costs and variable labor utilization.

Monetization of Production Tax Credits
During the second quarter, Eos entered into tax credit purchase agreements to sell its 2023 and first quarter 2024 production tax credits. Eos received $3.4 million in cash, representing a 10% discount on the value of its credits. Eos has completed two transactions, and the Company anticipates additional future transactions to accelerate the cash benefits of production tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 to fund operations and strengthen its balance sheet.

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.
