| © 2022 FuelCell Energy Confidential 7 • Revenues increased approximately 17% to $16.4M, primarily driven by Service and Generation revenues, partially offset by decrease in Advanced Technologies revenues • Loss from operations increased to $(28.2)M compared to $(17.4)M, reflecting − Increased administrative and selling expenses related to an increase in headcount, rebranding and accelerating sales and commercialization efforts − Increased R&D spending on hydrogen commercialization initiatives − $4.8M of non - recoverable costs related to construction of the Toyota project • Net loss of $(30.1)M compared to $(18.9)M • Net loss per basic and diluted share of $(0.08) compared to $(0.06) • Adjusted EBITDA of $(21.2)M compared to $(11.3)M 1 • Strong cash position Second Quarter of Fiscal 2022 Highlights 1 Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included in the appendix

R&D expenses of $7.7M reflect increased spending on hydrogen commercialization initiatives. Backlog increased by approximately 0.2% to $1.33 billion as of April 30, 2022, compared to $1.32 billion as of April 30, 2021, primarily as a result of the addition of product sales backlog, partially offset by a reduction in Service and Advanced Technologies backlog and reflecting the continued execution of backlog and adjustments to generation backlog. Specifically, changes to backlog reflect: (i) the addition of product sales backlog from the module order received from KFC and (ii) module exchanges in our Generation portfolio that are expected to contribute to higher future output and revenues. Advance Technologies backlog reflects new contracts from the U.S. Department of Energy, partially offset by work performed under our Joint Development Agreement with EMTEC . Note that approximately $22.2 million of backlog which was previously classified as “Service and license” backlog was reclassified to "Product” backlog as a result of the settlement agreement with POSCO Energy and KFC. This amount represents the value of the performance guarantee associated with KFC’s module order. BACKLOG AS OF APRIL 30 ($B)

| © 2022 FuelCell Energy Confidential 18 GAAP to Non - GAAP Reconciliation 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 operations and operating performance 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 non - recurring legal expense related to the settlement of the POSCO Energy legal proceedings recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 , 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 measur e N et loss. 1) Includes depreciation and amortization on our Generation portfolio of $ 4 . 1 million and $ 7 . 7 million for the three and six months ended April 30 , 2022 , respectively, and $ 3 . 6 million and $ 8 . 0 million for the three and six months ended April 30 , 2021 , respectively . 2) Other (income)/expense, net includes gains and losses from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, changes in fair value of derivatives, and other items incurred periodically, which are not the result of the Company’s normal business operations . 3) The Company recorded legal fees of $ 24 million related to a legal settlement during the six months ended April 30 , 2022 , which was recorded as an administrative and selling expense .
