Second Quarter of Fiscal 2021 Results

​

Note: All comparisons between periods are between the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the second quarter of fiscal 2020, unless otherwise specified.

​

Second quarter revenue of $14.0 million represents a decrease of 26% from the prior-year quarter, driven by a $6.3 million decrease in service agreements and license revenues as there were no new module exchanges during the quarter combined with cost estimate adjustments related to changes in the expected timing of future module exchanges.

​

● | Service agreements and license revenues decreased 91% to $0.7 million from $7.0 million. The decline in revenue is primarily due to the fact that there were no new module exchanges during the quarter (while new module exchanges generated approximately $5.5 million of revenue in the prior year quarter) and cost estimate adjustments related to changes in the expected timing of future module exchanges (which reduced revenue recognition in the quarter by approximately $0.8 million).

​

● | Generation revenues increased 34% to $6.2 million from $4.6 million primarily due to higher operating output of the generation fleet portfolio (which resulted in an increase in generation revenues of approximately $0.8 million) and sales of renewable energy credits (which resulted in an increase in generation revenues of approximately $0.8 million).

​

​

FuelCell Energy Second Quarter Fiscal 2021 Results ‌ Page 3

​

● | Advanced Technologies contract revenues decreased 2% to $7.1 million from $7.3 million. Compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2020, Advanced Technologies contract revenues recognized under the Joint Development Agreement with ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company (“EMRE”) were approximately $0.4 million higher during the second fiscal quarter of 2021, reflecting continued performance under our Joint Development Agreement with EMRE on fuel cell carbon capture solutions during the quarter. However, the increased revenues under the Joint Development Agreement with EMRE were offset by $0.6 million less revenue recognized under government contracts during the second fiscal quarter of 2021 than during the second fiscal quarter of 2020.

​

Gross loss for the second fiscal quarter of 2021 totaled $(4.8) million, compared to a gross profit of $0.2 million in the comparable prior-year quarter. I mpacting gross loss for the quarter were (i) lower service gross margin due to the fact that no new module exchanges took place during the quarter and due to adjustments to the loss accrual reserves to account for changes in the expected timing of future module exchanges in the second quarter of 2021, (ii) lower generation gross margin related to higher costs for plant maintenance as we continue to invest in efforts to improve fleet performance, and (iii) lower advanced technologies gross margin given the mix of activities in the quarter. These impacts were partially offset by lower manufacturing variances as a result of the increase in the annualized factory production rate.

​

Operating expenses for the second fiscal quarter of 2021 increased to $12.6 million from $8.3 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2020. Administrative and selling expenses in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 included additional share-based compensation expense of $0.8 million due to the non-cash grants made in August 2020 and November 2020 under our Long-Term Incentive Plans. An increase in compensation expense and proxy mailing expenses associated with the Company’s annual stockholder meeting also contributed to higher administrative and selling expenses during the second fiscal quarter of 2021. Research and development expenses of $3.0 million during the second fiscal quarter of 2021 reflect increased spending on the Company’s hydrogen commercialization initiatives.

​

Net loss was $(18.9) million in the second fiscal quarter of 2021, compared to net loss of $(14.8) million in the second fiscal quarter of 2020 due to the changes in gross loss and operating expenses described above.

​

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $(11.3) million in the second fiscal quarter of 2021, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $(3.3) million in the second fiscal quarter of 2020. 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 fiscal quarter of 2021 was $(0.06), compared to $(0.07) in the second fiscal quarter of 2020. The lower net loss per common share, despite a higher net loss attributable to common stockholders, is due to the higher weighted average shares outstanding due to share issuances since April 30, 2020.

​

​

Cash, Restricted Cash and Financing Update

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $171.2 million as of April 30, 2021 compared to $192.1 million as of October 31, 2020. As of April 30, 2021, restricted cash and cash equivalents was $32.1 million, of which $17.4 million was classified as current and $14.7 million was classified as non-current, compared to $42.2 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 2020, of which $9.2 million was classified as current and $33.0 million was classified as non-current.

​

Operations Update

​

Groton Sub Base. This is a 7.4 MW platform at the U.S. Navy Base in Groton, Connecticut. The Company has completed the majority of its scope of work on this project. Also, the Company is close to resolution of

​

​

the interconnection issues with two parties prepared to execute the current form of interconnect agreement. The project is entering the final stages of construction, with commercial operations currently expected in late summer. This FuelCell Energy platform, when operational and incorporated into the Navy’s planned microgrid, will once again demonstrate the reliability of FuelCell Energy’s platforms to perform as a microgrid and support the U.S. military’s efforts to fortify base energy supply while demonstrating its commitment to clean reliable power.

San Bernardino, CA. This is a 1.4 MW platform at the wastewater treatment facility in San Bernardino, California. The Company has received the necessary authorizations from the local utility on the interconnection process for this platform and, as a result, has entered the commissioning stage of this project. The project is expected to achieve its commercial operations date in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021. This FuelCell Energy platform represents another project where FuelCell Energy platforms bring flaring at a wastewater treatment facility to an end.

Derby, CT. During the quarter, the Company entered into a 20-year power purchase agreement (“PPA”) with United Illuminating for a 2.8 MW project in Derby, CT, which was awarded to the Company as part of the state-sponsored Shared Clean Energy Facility program and added $59.4 million to generation revenue backlog in the quarter ended April 30, 2021. This FuelCell Energy power plant will supply 2.8 MW of clean power to the Connecticut electric grid and will be our second project located in Derby. The clean baseload power generated by this 2.8 MW platform will be enough to power approximately 3,000 homes with continuous clean energy. The next steps in developing the project include obtaining siting approvals and interconnection agreements and finalizing site engineering.

​

Other Projects. Equipment manufacture, fabrication and early stage construction is also underway on 24.5 MW of projects, including the Toyota hydrogen project at the Port of Long Beach in California, and utility scale projects in Yaphank on Long Island in New York and in Derby, Connecticut.

Backlog

​

| As of April 30, |  |
(Amounts in thousands) | 2021 |  | 2020 |  | Change
Service | $ 141,427 |  | $ 160,944 |  | -12.1%
Generation | 1,115,573 |  | 1,104,347 |  | 1.0%
License | 22,182 |  | 22,369 |  | -0.8%
Advanced Technologies | 44,972 |  | 56,785 |  | -20.8%
Total Backlog | $ 1,324,154 |  | $ 1,344,445 |  | -1.5%

​

​

Backlog decreased 1.5% to $1.32 billion as of April 30, 2021, reflecting the continued execution of backlog and adjustments to generation backlog, primarily resulting from the decrease in fuel pricing which has lowered estimated future revenue, offset by the inclusion of the recently awarded project with United Illuminating in Derby, Connecticut.

​

Only projects for which we have an executed PPA are included in generation backlog, which represents future revenue under long-term PPAs. Together, the service and generation portion of backlog had a weighted average term of approximately 18 years, with weighting based on the dollar amount of backlog and utility service contracts of up to 20 years in duration at inception.

​

Backlog represents definitive agreements executed by the Company and our customers. Projects sold to customers (and not retained by the Company) are included in product sales and service backlog and the related generation backlog is removed upon the sale.

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 alternate, non-GAAP measures of cash utilization by the Company.

​

These supplemental non-GAAP measures are provided to assist readers in determining 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 and other unusual items such as the legal settlement recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, 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.
