Current Business Update

Announcing restructuring plan to reduce operating expenses by 30% on an annualized basis compared to operating expenses incurred in fiscal year 2024
Focusing commercial efforts on carbonate-based distributed generation, including data center, grid resilience and reliability, and carbon recovery applications
Refocusing solid oxide development efforts on electrolysis validation and demonstration – pausing R&D activity
Addition of Mike Hill as Chief Commercial Officer

DANBURY, Conn., June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:FCEL) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended April 30, 2025.

"In our second fiscal quarter, we delivered sequential revenue growth and continued executing on the disciplined cost management strategy we initiated in late 2024, in recognition of the changing energy landscape," said Jason Few, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Additionally, today we are reiterating our focused strategy that prioritizes advancement of our carbonate platform with the goal of meeting accelerating market demand driven by AI data centers, our distributed power generation solutions, and our carbon recovery and utilization applications."

"Our strategy includes a further global restructuring across our operations in the U.S., Canada, and Germany as part of our ongoing work to concentrate our efforts on scaling our core carbonate technologies and achieving profitability," Few continued. "We have seen increasing policy support for natural gas energy, which we believe will accelerate adoption of solutions like our carbonate platform, which is already deployed globally using natural gas and biofuels. We believe that the actions we have taken to reduce our workforce by approximately an incremental 22%, scale back new platform commercial development work to focus on our commercially available technology and further reduce our SG&A expenses will help to shorten our timeline to expected future profitability by reducing our cost structure, while preserving our long-term commitment to innovation in electrolysis and carbon capture."

"Our commercial efforts continue to generate meaningful opportunities, and we believe our Dedicated Power Partners strategic partnership with Diversified Energy Co. PLC and TESIAC Corp. positions us well to accelerate our entry into the data center market and expand our penetration in deployed microgrid applications," added Few. "We also strengthened our leadership team with the addition of Mike Hill as our new Chief Commercial Officer this month. His deep experience in sustainable integrated energy solutions and strong grasp of the unique power demands of data centers will be instrumental as we work to establish FuelCell Energy's presence in this critical growth sector."

Michael Bishop, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer added, "We are taking deliberate and proactive steps to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet while continuing to sharpen our focus on cost discipline and the execution of a growth strategy centered on our carbonate platform. Our priorities remain clear: reduce our discretionary spending, decrease our cash burn, and accelerate our trajectory toward our ultimate goal of sustained, positive adjusted EBITDA. In parallel, we are actively pursuing strategic financing to support commercial execution, including our Korea repowering project, where we successfully delivered four modules this quarter," said Bishop. "We believe our proven technology is well-positioned to meet the demands of the evolving energy integration and the accelerating need for distributed power generation—both through our established channels and our newly launched strategic partnership in Dedicated Power Partners. We remain focused on driving financial performance while enabling long-term, scalable growth."

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2025 Results

(All comparisons are between second quarter of fiscal 2025 and second quarter of fiscal 2024 unless otherwise noted)

Second quarter revenue of $37.4 million represents an increase of 67% from the comparable prior year quarter.

Product revenues were $13.0 million compared to no product revenues recognized for the comparable prior year period.
Service agreements revenues increased to $8.1 million from $1.4 million. The increase in service agreements revenues during the three months ended April 30, 2025 was primarily driven by module replacement revenue recognized under the Company's long-term service agreement with United Illuminating. There were three module replacements, one of which was fulfilled with a used module, during the three months ended April 30, 2025, and no module replacements during the comparable prior year period.
Generation revenues decreased to $12.1 million from $14.1 million. The decrease in generation revenues for the three months ended April 30, 2025 reflects lower power output resulting from maintenance activities during the quarter.
Advanced Technologies contract revenues decreased to $4.1 million from $6.9 million. Advanced Technologies contract revenues recognized under our Joint Development Agreement with ExxonMobil Technology and Engineering Company ("EMTEC") were approximately $2.3 million, revenues arising from the purchase order received from Esso Nederland B.V. ("Esso"), an affiliate of EMTEC and Exxon Mobil Corporation, related to the Rotterdam project were approximately $1.2 million and revenue recognized under government contracts and other contracts were approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended April 30, 2025. This compares to Advanced Technologies contract revenues recognized under our Joint Development Agreement with EMTEC of approximately $2.7 million, revenue recognized under the Esso purchase order of approximately $2.1 million and revenue recognized under government contracts and other contracts of approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2024.

Gross loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 totaled $(9.4) million, compared to a gross loss of $(7.1) million in the comparable prior year quarter. The increase in gross loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was primarily related to reduced gross margin on advanced technologies contract revenues and service agreements revenues during the second quarter of fiscal 2025, partially offset by decreased gross loss from generation revenues. The decreased gross loss from generation revenues was a result of a reduction in the expensed construction costs related to the Toyota Project, which were $0.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 (which also included expensed gas costs).

Operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased to $26.4 million from $34.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Administrative and selling expenses decreased to $16.5 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 from $17.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in administrative and selling expenses is primarily due to lower compensation expense as a result of the restructuring actions taken in the fall of 2024. Research and development expenses decreased to $9.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $16.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in research and development expenses is primarily due to a decrease in spending on our commercial development efforts related to our solid oxide power generation and electrolysis platforms and carbon separation and carbon recovery solutions compared to the comparable prior year period, as well as a shift in engineering resource allocation toward supporting funded Advanced Technologies activities.

Net loss was $(37.7) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to net loss of $(37.7) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $(19.3) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $(26.5) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Please see the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, in the appendix at the end of this release.

The net loss per share attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $(1.79), compared to $(2.18) in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in net loss per share is primarily due to the net income of $0.3 million attributable to noncontrolling interest during the three months ended April 30, 2025 (compared to the net loss of $5.5 million attributable to noncontrolling interest that benefited the comparable prior year period). The net loss per common share for the three months ended April 30, 2025 benefited from the higher number of weighted average shares outstanding due to share issuances since April 30, 2024.

Restructuring and Operational Update

Today, the Company is announcing its global restructuring plan with respect to its operations in the U.S., Canada and Germany. This plan aims to further reduce operating costs, realign resources toward advancing the Company's core carbonate technologies, and protect the Company's competitive position amid slower-than-expected market investments in clean energy. As part of this restructuring plan, on June 5, 2025, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 22%. Following this reduction in workforce, the Company has a total of approximately 426 global employees.

This restructuring plan follows a November 2024 global restructuring of operations. The goal of the November 2024 restructuring plan was to reduce operating costs by approximately 15% in fiscal year 2025, compared with fiscal year 2024. The November 2024 restructuring plan included a reduction in our workforce of approximately 13% and reduced spending for product development, overhead and other costs.

Key actions under our new restructuring plan include: (i) a global workforce reduction (as described above), (ii) a significant reduction of discretionary overhead spending, (iii) recalibration of our Torrington manufacturing facility production schedule to align with contracted demand, rather than forecasted demand, which, without continued growth in our closed order book, would result in a decrease in our annualized production rate, (iv) the deferral of certain compensation and benefit obligations, (v) the cessation of the majority of development efforts with respect to our solid oxide technology, and (vi) other targeted cost-saving measures.

With our enhanced focus on our core technologies, specifically the manufacture and sale of our carbonate platforms, and the growing demand for distributed power generation in the U.S., Asia, and Europe, we are targeting the future achievement of positive Adjusted EBITDA once our Torrington, CT manufacturing facility reaches an annualized production rate of 100 MW per year. However, for the six months ended April 30, 2025, the facility operated at an annualized production rate of approximately 31 MW, and our annualized production rate may decrease in the near term as part of our restructuring plan.

Cash, Restricted Cash and Short-Term Investments

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments totaled $240.0 million as of April 30, 2025, compared to $318.0 million as of October 31, 2024. Of the $240.0 million as of April 30, 2025, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $116.1 million, short-term investments totaled $60.9 million and restricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $63.1 million. Of the $318.0 million total as of October 31, 2024, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $148.1 million, short-term investments totaled $109.1 million and restricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $60.8 million. Short-term investments represent the amortized cost of U.S. Treasury Securities outstanding and held by the Company as of April 30, 2025 and October 31, 2024.

During the three months ended April 30, 2025, approximately 1.6 million shares of the Company's common stock were sold under the Company's Open Market Sale Agreement, as amended, at an average sale price of $5.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $8.1 million before deducting sales commissions and fees, and net proceeds to the Company of approximately $7.7 million after deducting sales commissions and fees totaling approximately $0.4 million.

Backlog



	As of April 30,
(Amounts in thousands)	2025		2024		Change
Product	$	98,184	$	12,307	$	85,877
Service		164,417		145,100		19,317
Generation		967,388		852,933		114,455
Advanced Technologies		29,608		51,112		(21,504	)
Total Backlog	$	1,259,597	$	1,061,452	$	198,145

As of April 30, 2025, backlog increased by approximately 18.7% to $1.26 billion, compared to $1.06 billion as of April 30, 2024, in part, as a result of the long-term service agreement entered into with Gyeonggi Green Energy Co., Ltd. ("GGE") (such long-term service agreement, the "GGE Agreement") during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024. Backlog for the GGE Agreement has been allocated between product backlog and service backlog. Product backlog is being, and will be, recognized as revenue as the Company completes commissioning of the replacement modules. Under the GGE Agreement, commissioning of the first six 1.4-MW replacement fuel cell modules was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024 and commissioning of the next four replacement fuel cell modules was completed in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. An additional 16 1.4-MW replacement fuel cell modules are expected to be commissioned ratably throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2025, and the remaining 16 1.4-MW replacement fuel cell modules are expected to be commissioned in fiscal year 2026. Service backlog is being, and will be, recognized as revenue as the Company performs service at the GGE site over the term of the GGE Agreement. Backlog also increased as a result of entering into a 20-year power purchase agreement for a 7.4 MW fuel cell power plant that the Company will build in Hartford, CT. This power purchase agreement has added approximately $167.4 million in backlog.

Backlog represents definitive agreements executed by the Company and our customers. Projects for which we have an executed power purchase agreement ("PPA") or hydrogen power purchase agreement ("HPPA") are included in generation backlog, which represents future revenue under long-term PPAs and HPPAs. The Company's ability to recognize revenue in the future under a PPA or HPPA is subject to the Company's completion of construction of the project covered by such PPA or HPPA. Should the Company not complete the construction of the project covered by a PPA or HPPA, it will forgo future revenues with respect to the project and may incur penalties and/or impairment charges related to the project. Projects sold to customers (and not retained by the Company) are included in product sales and service agreements backlog, and the related generation backlog is removed upon sale. Together, the service and generation portion of backlog had a weighted average term of approximately 18 years as of April 30, 2025, with weighting based on the dollar amount of backlog and utility service contracts of up to 20 years in duration at inception.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Financial results are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Management also uses non-GAAP measures to analyze and make operating decisions on the business. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures of operations and operating performance by the Company.

These supplemental non-GAAP measures are provided to assist readers in assessing operating performance. Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis. Management also believes these measures are used by companies in the fuel cell sector and by securities analysts and investors when comparing the results of the Company with those of other companies. EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss attributable to the Company, primarily because it does not include finance expense, income taxes and depreciation of property, plant and equipment and project assets. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, non-cash (gain) loss on derivative instruments and other unusual items, which are considered either non-cash or non-recurring.

While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these measures. The measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table calculates EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles these figures to the GAAP financial statement measure Net loss.
