Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.
The
unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Website references throughout this document are provided for convenience only, and the content on the referenced websites is not incorporated by reference into this report.

of Business, Liquidity and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
For information on the nature of our business, see Part II, Item 8, Note 1 - Nature of Business, Liquidity and Basis of Presentation, Nature of Business section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Liquidity
We have generally incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. With the series of new debt offerings, debt extensions and conversions to equity that we completed during 2022 and the first half of 2023, we had $i839.2
million of total outstanding recourse debt as of June 30, 2023, which was classified as long-term debt.
On March 20, 2023, we entered into an Amendment (the “Amended SPA”) to the Securities Purchase Agreement with SK ecoplant, dated October 23, 2021 (the “SPA”), and the Investor Agreement, dated December 29, 2021, pursuant to which we issued and sold to SK ecoplant i13,491,701
shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Series B RCPS”) for cash proceeds of $i311.0 million. For additional information, please see Part I, Item 1, Note 15 - SK ecoplant Strategic Investment.
On March 20, 2023, in connection with the Amended SPA we also entered into a Shareholders’ Loan Agreement with SK ecoplant (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which
we may draw down on a loan from SK ecoplant with a maximum principal amount of $i311.0 million, should SK ecoplant send a redemption notice to us under the Amended SPA or otherwise reduce any portion of its current holdings of our Class A common stock. The Loan Agreement has a maturity of ifive years
and bears an interest rate of i4.6%. The proceeds of the loan may be used by us for working capital and general corporate purpose needs.
On May 16, 2023, we issued i3% Green Convertible Senior Notes
(the “i3% Green Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $i632.5 million due June 2028, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted, less the initial purchasers’ discount of $i15.8
million and other issuance costs of $i3.8 million, resulting in net proceeds of $i612.9 million. On June 1, 2023, we used approximately $i60.9
million of the net proceeds from this offering to redeem all of the outstanding principal amount of our i10.25% Senior Secured Notes due March 2027. The redemption price equaled i104% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. For additional
information, please see Part I, Item 1, Note 7 - Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, the rate of growth in the volume of system builds and the need for additional manufacturing space, the expansion of sales and marketing activities both in domestic and international markets, market acceptance of our product, our ability to secure financing for customer use of our Energy Servers, the timing of installations, and overall economic conditions, including the inflationary pressure in the US on our ongoing and future operations. The rising interest rate environment in the US has and will continue to adversely impact the cost of new capital deployment.
In
the opinion of management, the combination of our existing cash and cash equivalents and expected timing of operating cash flows is expected to be sufficient to meet our operational and capital cash flow requirements and other cash flow needs for the next 12 months from the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Concentration of Risk
Geographic Risk - The majority of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was attributable to operations in the United States and, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, to operations in the Republic of Korea. A major portion of our long-lived assets is attributable to operations in the United States for all
periods presented. In addition to shipments in the US and the Republic of Korea, we also ship our Energy Servers to other countries, primarily, Japan and India (the markets of the Republic of Korea, Japan and India, collectively referred to as the “Asia Pacific region”). In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, total revenue related to shipments to the Asia Pacific region was i27% and i17%,
respectively. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, total revenue related to shipments to the Asia Pacific region was i62% and i63%, respectively.
Credit Risk - At June
30, 2023, itwo customers accounted for approximately i65% and i19%
of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2022, ione customer represented approximately i75% of accounts receivable. To date, we have not experienced any credit losses.
Customer Risk - During the three
months ended June 30, 2023, revenue from ithree customers accounted for approximately i39%, i22%,
and i12% of our total revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, ithree customers represented approximately i40%,
i13%, and i12% of our total revenue.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, itwo
customers represented approximately i57% and i16% of our total revenue. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, itwo
customers represented approximately i45% and i15% of our total revenue.

iSummary of Significant Accounting Policies
Please refer to the accounting policies described in Part II, Item 8, Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
i
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
There have been no significant changes in our reported financial position or results of operations and cash flows resulting from the adoption of new accounting pronouncements.
The
following table provides information about accounts receivables, contract assets, customer deposits and deferred revenue from contracts with customers (in thousands):
Contract
assets relate to contracts for which revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of performance obligations, but where billing milestones have not been reached. Customer deposits and deferred revenue include payments received from customers or invoiced amounts prior to transfer of controls of performance obligations. At December 31, 2022, customer deposits included $i24.6 million related to transactions with SK ecoplant and refundable fees received from customers.
At June 30, 2023 there were ino customer deposits related to transactions with SK ecoplant (see Note 15 - SK ecoplant Strategic Investment).
Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in a net position on an individual contract
basis at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets are classified as current in the condensed consolidated balance sheets when both the milestones other than the passage of time, are expected to be complete and the customer is invoiced within one year of the balance sheet date, and as long-term when both the above-mentioned milestones are expected to be complete, and the customer is invoiced more than one year out from the balance sheet date. Contract liabilities are classified as current in the condensed consolidated balance sheets when the revenue recognition associated with the related customer payments and invoicing is expected to occur within one year of the balance sheet date and as long-term when the revenue recognition associated with the related customer payments and invoicing
is expected to occur in more than one year from the balance sheet date.

Deferred
Revenue
Deferred revenue activity, including deferred incentive revenue activity, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following (in thousands):
Deferred
revenue is equivalent to the total transaction price allocated to the performance obligations that are unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, as of the end of the period. Primary component of deferred revenue at the end of the period consists of performance obligations relating to the provision of maintenance services under current contracts and future renewal periods. Some of these obligations provide customers with material rights over a period that we estimate will be largely commensurate with the period of their expected use of the associated Energy Server. As a result, we expect to recognize these amounts as revenue over a period of up to i21
years, predominantly on a relative standalone selling price basis that reflects the cost of providing these services. Deferred revenue also includes performance obligations relating to product acceptance and installation. A significant amount of this deferred revenue is reflected as additions and revenue recognized in the same 12-month period, and a portion of this deferred revenue is expected to be recognized beyond 12-month period mainly due to deployment schedules.
We do not disclose the value of the unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed.
Disaggregated
Revenue
i
We disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers into four revenue categories: product, installation, services and electricity (in thousands):
1
We have a variable interest entity (“VIE”) related to our Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) entity, PPA V, that represents a portion of the condensed consolidated balances recorded within the “restricted cash” and other financial statement line items in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 10 - Portfolio Financings). In addition, the restricted cash held in the PPA II and PPA IIIb entities as of June 30, 2023, included $i31.1 million and $i0.8 million
of current restricted cash, respectively, and $i16.3 million and $i6.7 million of non-current restricted cash, respectively. The restricted cash held in the PPA II and PPA IIIb entities as of December 31, 2022, included
$i40.6 million and $i1.2 million of current restricted cash, respectively, and $i28.5 million
and $i6.7 million of non-current restricted cash, respectively. These entities are not considered VIEs.
/
Factoring Arrangements
We sell certain customer trade receivables on a non-recourse basis under factoring arrangements with certain financial institutions. These transactions are accounted for as sales and cash proceeds are included in cash used in operating
activities. We derecognized $i59.6 million of accounts receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and ino
accounts receivable were derecognized during the three months ended June 30, 2023. We derecognized $i90.9 million and $i137.3
million of accounts receivable during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
The costs of factoring such accounts receivable on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $i0.7 million. There were ino
costs of factoring for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The costs of factoring for three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were $i0.9 million and $i1.2
million, respectively. The costs of factoring are recorded in general and administrative expenses.

5. iFair Value
Our accounting policy for the fair value measurement of cash equivalents and embedded Escalation Protection Plan (“EPP”) derivatives is described
in Part II, Item 8 Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
i
The tables below set forth, by level, our financial assets that are accounted for at fair value for the respective periods. The table does not include assets
and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value (in thousands):
Money
Market Funds - Money market funds are valued using quoted market prices for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 financial assets.
Embedded Escalation Protection Plan Derivative Liability in Sales Contracts- We estimate the fair value of the embedded EPP derivatives in certain sales contracts using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which considers various potential electricity price curves over the sales contracts’ terms. We use historical grid prices and available forecasts of future electricity prices to estimate future electricity prices. We have classified these derivatives as a
Level 3 financial liability.
15
iThe changes in the Level 3 financial liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):

i3%
Green Convertible Senior Notes due June 2028 - On May 16, 2023, we issued the i3% Green Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $i632.5 million due on June
1, 2028, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted, less an initial purchasers’ discount of $i15.8 million and other issuance costs of $i3.8 million (together, the “Transaction Costs”), resulting in net proceeds of $i612.9
million. The i3% Green Notes were issued pursuant to, and are governed by, an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of May 16, 2023, between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee, in private placements to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Pursuant
to the purchase agreement among the Company and the representatives of the initial purchasers of the i3% Green Notes, the Company granted the initial purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $i82.5
million aggregate principal amount of the i3% Green Notes (the “Greenshoe Option”). The i3% Green Notes issued on May 16, 2023, included $i82.5
million aggregate principal amount pursuant to the full exercise by the initial purchasers of the Greenshoe Option.
The i3% Green Notes are senior, unsecured obligations accruing interest at a rate of i3% per annum,
payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2023.
We may not redeem the i3% Green Notes prior to June 5, 2026, subject to a partial redemption limitation. We may elect to redeem, at face value, all or any portion of the i3%
Green Notes at any time, and from time to time, on or after June 5, 2026
20
and on or before the forty-sixth scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, provided the share price for our Class A common stock exceeds i130% of the conversion price at redemption.
Before March
1, 2028, the noteholders have the right to convert their i3% Green Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events, including satisfaction of a condition relating to the closing price of our common stock (the “Closing Price Condition”) or the trading price of the i3%
Green Notes (the “Trading Price Condition”), a redemption event, or other specified corporate events. If the Closing Price Condition is met on at least i20 (whether or not consecutive) of the last i30 consecutive
trading days in any calendar quarter, and only during such calendar quarter, the noteholders may convert their i3% Green Notes at any time during the immediately following quarter, commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2023, subject to partial redemption limitation. Subject to the Trading Price Condition, the noteholders may convert their i3%
Green Notes during the ifive business days immediately after any ifive consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per $1,000 principal
amount of the i3% Green Notes, as determined following a request by a holder of the i3% Green Notes, for each day of that period is less than i98%
of the product of the closing price of our common stock and the then applicable conversion rate. From and after March 1, 2028, the noteholders may convert their i3% Green Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. Should the noteholders elect to convert their i3%
Green Notes, we may elect to settle the conversion by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of our Class A common stock, $i0.0001 par value per share, or a combination thereof, at our election.
The initial conversion rate is 53.0427 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $i18.85
per share of Class A common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. Also, we may increase the conversion rate at any time if our Board of Directors determines it is in the best interests of the Company or to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of common stock. In addition, if certain corporate events that constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, as defined below, occur, then the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of the i3% Green
Notes will, in certain circumstances, be increased by up to i22.5430 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes for a specified period of time. At June 30, 2023, the maximum number of shares into which the i3%
Green Notes could have been potentially converted if the conversion features were triggered was i47,807,955 shares of Class A common stock.
According to the Indenture, a Make-Whole Fundamental Change means (i) a Fundamental Change, that includes certain change-of-control events relating to us, certain business combination transactions involving us and certain delisting events with respect to our Class A common
stock, or (ii) the sending of a redemption notice with respect to the i3% Green Notes.
The i3% Green Notes contain certain customary provisions relating to the occurrence of Events of Default, as defined in the Indenture.
If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to us occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the i3% Green Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any person. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, we may elect, at our option, that the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to certain failures by us to comply with certain reporting covenants in the Indenture consists
exclusively of the right of the noteholders to receive special interest on the i3% Green Notes for up to i180 days at a specified rate per annum not exceeding i0.50%
on the principal amount of the i3% Green Notes.
The Transaction Costs were recorded as debt issuance costs and presented a reduction to the i3% Green Notes on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are amortized
to interest expense at an effective interest rate of i3.8%.
Total interest expense recognized related to the i3% Green Notes for the three months ended June 30,
2023 was $i2.9 million and was comprised of contractual interest expense of $i2.4 million and amortization of the initial purchasers’ discount and other issuance costs of $i0.5
million. We have not recognized any special interest expense related to the i3% Green Notes to date. The amount of unamortized debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2023, was $i19.1 million.
Although
the i3% Green Notes contain embedded conversion features, we account for the i3% Green Notes in its entirety as a liability. As of June 30, 2023, the net carrying value of the i3%
Green Notes was classified as a long-term liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Capped Calls - On May 11, 2023, in connection with the pricing of the i3% Green Notes, and on May 15, 2023, in connection with initial purchasers’ exercise of the Greenshoe Option, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Calls”) with certain counterparties (the “Option Counterparties”). The Capped Calls
cover, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the i3% Green Notes, the aggregate number of shares of our Class A common stock that initially underlie the i3% Green Notes, and are expected generally to reduce
potential dilution to holders of our common stock upon any conversion of the i3% Green Notes and at our election (subject to certain
21
conditions) offset any cash payments we would be required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted i3%
Green Notes.
The Capped Calls expire on June 1, 2028 and are exercisable only at maturity, but may be early terminated in various circumstances, including if the i3% Green Notes are early converted or repurchased. The default settlement method for the Capped Calls is net share settlement. However, we may elect to settle the Capped Calls in cash.
The Capped Calls have an initial strike price of approximately $i18.85
per share of Class A common stock, subject to certain adjustments. The strike price of $i18.85 corresponds to the initial conversion price of the i3% Green Notes. The number of shares underlying the Capped Calls is i33,549,508
share of Class A common stock. The cap price of the Capped Calls is initially $i26.46 per share of Class A common stock, which represents a premium of i100% over the last reported sale price of our common stock on May
11, 2023.
The Capped Calls are freestanding financial instruments. We used a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the i3% Green Notes to pay for the Capped Calls’ premium. As the Capped Calls meet certain accounting criteria, they are recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The cost of $i54.5
million incurred to purchase the Capped Calls was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and will not be remeasured.

12. iCommitments and Contingencies
Commitments
Purchase
Commitments with Suppliers and Contract Manufacturers - In order to reduce manufacturing lead-times and to ensure an adequate supply of inventories, we have agreements with our component suppliers and contract manufacturers to allow long lead-time component inventory procurement based on a rolling production forecast. We are contractually obligated to purchase long lead-time component inventory procured by certain manufacturers in accordance with our forecasts. We can generally give notice of order cancellation at least 90 days prior to the delivery date. However, we issue purchase orders to our component suppliers and third-party manufacturers that may not be cancellable. As of June 30, 2023 and December
31, 2022, we had no material open purchase orders with our component suppliers and third-party manufacturers that are not cancellable.
Performance Guarantees - We guarantee the performance of Energy Servers at certain levels of output and efficiency to our customers over the contractual term. We monitor the need for any accruals arising from such guaranties, which are calculated as the difference between committed and actual power output or between natural gas consumption at warranted efficiency levels and actual consumption, multiplied by the contractual rates with the customer. Amounts payable under these guaranties are accrued in periods when the guaranties are not met and are recorded contra service revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We paid $i4.1
million and $i19.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, for such performance guarantees. We paid $i9.4 million and $i9.7
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, for such performance guarantees.
Letters of Credit - In 2019, pursuant to the PPA II upgrade of Energy Servers, we agreed to indemnify our financing partner for losses that may be incurred in the event of certain regulatory, legal or legislative development and established a cash-collateralized letter of credit facility for this purpose. As of June 30, 2023, the balance of this cash-collateralized letter of credit was $i47.4
million, of which $i31.1 million and $i16.3 million is recognized as short-term and long-term restricted cash, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the balance of this cash-collateralized letter of credit was $i69.1 million,
of which $i40.6 million and $i28.5 million is recognized as short-term and long-term restricted cash, respectively.
Pledged Funds - In 2019, pursuant to the PPA IIIb upgrade of Energy Servers, we established
a restricted cash fund of $i20.0 million, which had been pledged for a iseven-year period to secure our operations and maintenance obligations with respect to the totality of our obligations to the financier. All or a portion of such funds would be released if we meet certain credit rating and/or market capitalization milestones
prior to the end of the pledge period. If we do not meet the required criteria within the first ifive-year period, the funds would still be released to us over the following itwo years as long as the Energy Servers continue to perform in compliance with our warranty obligations. As of June 30, 2023
and December 31, 2022, the balance of the long-term restricted cash fund was $i6.7 million and $i6.7 million, respectively.
Contingencies
Indemnification
Agreements - We enter into standard indemnification agreements with our customers and certain other business partners in the ordinary course of business. Our exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves future claims that may be made against us but have not yet been made. To date, we have not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to our indemnification obligations. However, we may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.
Delaware Economic Development Authority - In March 2012, we entered into an agreement with the Delaware Economic Development Authority to provide a grant of $i16.5
million to us as an incentive to establish a new manufacturing facility in Delaware and to provide employment for full time workers at the facility over a certain period of time. We have so far received $i12.0 million of the grant, which is contingent upon meeting the milestones through September 30, 2023. In the event that we do not meet the milestones, we may have to repay the Delaware Economic Development Authority, up to an additional $i2.5
million on September 30, 2023. We repaid $i1.5 million and $i1.0 million of the grant in 2017 and 2021, respectively. As of September
30, 2022 the grant became current, and we have recorded $ii9.5/ million
in accrued expenses and other current liabilities for future repayments of this grant as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Investment Tax Credits- Our Energy Servers are eligible for federal ITCs that accrued to qualified property under Internal Revenue Code Section 48 when placed into service. However, the ITC program has operational criteria that extend for five years. If the energy property is disposed of or otherwise ceases to be qualified investment credit property before the close of the five-year recapture period is fulfilled, it could result in a partial reduction of the incentives. Energy Servers are purchased by the PPA Entities, other financial sponsors, or customers and, therefore,
these parties bear the risk of repayment if the assets placed in service do not meet the ITC operational criteria in the future although in certain limited circumstances we do provide indemnification for such risk.
Legal Matters - We are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We review all legal matters at least quarterly and assess whether an accrual for loss contingencies needs to be recorded. We record an accrual for loss contingencies when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Legal matters are subject to uncertainties and are inherently unpredictable, so the actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from our estimates. If an unfavorable resolution were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our condensed
consolidated balance sheets, results of operations or cash flows for the period in which the resolution occurs or in future periods.
In March 2019, the Lincolnshire Police Pension Fund filed a class action complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara, against us, certain members of our senior management, certain of our directors and the underwriters in our July 25, 2018 IPO alleging violations under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act for alleged misleading statements or omissions in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in connection with the IPO. Two related class action cases were subsequently filed in the Santa Clara County Superior Court against the same defendants containing the same allegations; Rodriquez vs Bloom Energy et al. was filed on April 22, 2019 and
Evans vs Bloom Energy et al. was filed on May 7, 2019. These cases have been consolidated. Plaintiffs’ consolidated amended complaint was filed with the court on September 12, 2019. On October 4, 2019, defendants moved to stay the lawsuit pending the federal district court action discussed below. On December 7, 2019, the Superior Court issued an order staying the action through resolution of the parallel federal litigation mentioned below. We believe the complaint to be without merit and in contravention of our forum selection clause in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and we intend to defend this action vigorously. We are unable to estimate any range of reasonably possible
losses.
In May 2019, Elissa Roberts filed a class action complaint in the federal district court for the Northern District of California against us, certain members of our senior management team, and certain of our directors alleging violations under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act for alleged misleading statements or omissions in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC in connection with the IPO. On September 3, 2019, the court appointed a lead plaintiff and lead plaintiffs’ counsel. On November 4, 2019, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint adding the underwriters in the IPO and our auditor as defendants for the Section 11 claim, as well as adding claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), against us, and certain members of
our senior management team. The amended complaint alleged a class period for all claims from the time of our IPO until September 16, 2019. On April 21, 2020, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, which continued to make the same claims and added allegations pertaining to the restatement and, as to claims under the Exchange Act, extended the putative class period through February 12, 2020. On July 1, 2020, we and the other defendants filed motions to dismiss the second amended complaint. On September 29, 2021, the court entered an order dismissing with leave to amend (1) five of seven statements or groups of statements alleged to violate Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act and (2) all allegations under the Exchange
Act. All allegations against our auditors were also
dismissed. Plaintiffs elected not to amend the complaint and instead on October 22, 2021 filed a motion for entry of final judgment in favor of our auditors so that plaintiffs could appeal the dismissal of those claims. The court denied that motion on December 1, 2021 and in response plaintiffs filed a motion asking the court to certify an interlocutory appeal as to the accounting claims. The court denied plaintiffs’ motion on April 14, 2022. The claims for violation of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act that were not dismissed by the court entered the discovery phase.
On January 6, 2023, Bloom and the plaintiffs’ entered into
an agreement in principle to settle the claims against Bloom, its executives and directors, and the IPO underwriters for a payment of $i3 million, which we expect to be funded entirely by our insurers. If the settlement becomes effective, we expect it to result in a dismissal with prejudice of all claims against us, our executives and directors, and the underwriters. The settlement does not constitute an acknowledgement of liability or wrongdoing. On June 30, 2023, Bloom and the plaintiff’s executed a definitive settlement
agreement containing the foregoing terms and customary terms for class action settlements, and on the same date, filed the settlement agreement with the court to see its approval. If the court does not approve the settlement and all of its material terms, or the settlement does not otherwise become final or effective, proceedings in the action will continue.
In June 2021, we filed a petition for writ of mandate and a complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief in the Santa Clara Superior Court against the City of Santa Clara for failure to issue building permits for two of our customer installations and asking the court to require the City of Santa Clara to process and issue the building permits. In October 2021, we filed an amended petition and complaint that asserts additional constitutional and tort claims based on the City’s failure to timely issue the Energy Server permits. Discovery has commenced and we are aggressively
pursuing all claims. On February 4, 2022, the City of Santa Clara filed a demurrer seeking to dismiss all of the Company’s claims. The trial judge rejected the demurrer on all claims except one, and allowed Bloom leave to amend that claim. The second amended petition was filed on July 5, 2022. The City of Santa Clara demurred only to the amended cause of action seeking damages for tortious conduct. The trial judge granted that demurrer and struck the tort claim on October 27, 2022; the writ of mandate and constitutional claims were allowed to proceed. The parties are currently briefing the writ of mandate claims which seek immediate issuance of the building permits. On April 21, 2023,
the parties executed a settlement agreement which allows our two pending customer installations to proceed under building permits and requires the City to amend its zoning code so that future installations of Bloom Energy Servers in Santa Clara require only building permits.
In February 2022, Plansee SE/Global Tungsten & Powders Corp. (“Plansee/GTP”), a former supplier, filed a request for expedited arbitration with the World Intellectual Property Organization Arbitration and Mediation Center in Geneva Switzerland (“WIPO”), for various claims allegedly in relation to an Intellectual Property and Confidential Disclosure Agreement between Plansee/GTP and Bloom Energy Corporation. Plansee/GTP’s statement of claims includes allegations of infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,802,328, 8,753,785 and 9,434,003. On April 3, 2022, we filed a complaint against Plansee/GTP
in the Eastern District of Texas to address the dispute between Plansee/GTP and Bloom Energy Corporation in a proper forum before a U.S. Federal District Court. Our complaint seeks the correction of inventorship of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,802,328, 8,753,785 and 9,434,003 (the “Patents-in-Suit”); declaratory judgment of invalidity, unenforceability, and non-infringement of the Patents-in-Suit; and declaratory judgment of no misappropriation. Further, our complaint seeks to recover damages we have suffered in relation to Plansee/GTP’s business dealings that, as alleged, constitute acts of unfair competition, tortious interference contract, breach of contract, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and violations of the Clayton Antitrust Act. On June
9, 2022, Plansee/GTP filed a motion to dismiss the complaint filed in the Eastern District of Texas and compel arbitration (or alternatively to stay). We filed our opposition on June 30, 2022, Plansee/GTP filed its reply on July 14, 2022 and we filed our sur-reply on July 22, 2022. On February 9, 2023, Magistrate Judge Payne issued a report and recommendation to stay the district court action pending an arbitrability determination by the arbitrator for each claim.
On February 23, 2023, we filed an amended complaint adding additional causes of action and filed objections to the Magistrate’s report and recommendation. On April 26,
2023, Judge Gilstrap overruled our objections to the Magistrate’s report and recommendation and stayed the district court action pending arbitrability determinations by the arbitrator in the WIPO proceeding. The arbitration had been held in abeyance awaiting the District Court’s decision. A hearing by the arbitrator in WIPO on arbitrability took place on June 27, 2023. A decision is expected in the third quarter of 2023. Given that the District Court matter is stayed and the WIPO arbitration had been held in abeyance, the cases are still in their early stages. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the arbitration and district court action at this time.

iIncome Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded an income tax provisions of $i0.2 million and $i0.4
million, respectively, on pre-tax losses of $i68.9 million and $i143.5
million for effective tax rates of (i0.3)% and (i0.3)%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded an income tax benefit and income tax provision
of $i12 thousand and $i0.6 million, respectively, on pre-tax losses of $i121.2
million and $i203.4 million for effective tax rates of i0.01% and (i0.3)%,
respectively.
The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was lower than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to a full valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.
14. iNet Loss per Share Available to Common Stockholders
Please refer to the
condensed consolidated statements of operations for computation of our net loss per share available to common stockholders, basic and diluted.
i
The following common stock equivalents (in thousands) were excluded from the computation of our net loss per share available to common stockholders, diluted, for the three and six months presented as their inclusion would have been antidilutive (in thousands):
In October 2021, we expanded our existing relationship with SK ecoplant. As part of this arrangement, we amended the previous Preferred Distribution Agreement (“PDA”) and Joint Venture Agreement (“JVA”) with SK ecoplant. The restated PDA establishes SK ecoplant’s purchase commitments for our Energy Servers for the ithree
year period on a take or pay basis as well as the basis for determining the prices at which the Energy Servers and related components will be sold. The restated JVA increases the scope of assembly done by the joint venture facility in the Republic of Korea, which was established in 2019, for the procurement of local parts for our Energy Servers and the assembly of certain portions of the Energy Servers for the South Korean market. The joint venture is a VIE of Bloom and we consolidate it in our financial statements as we are the primary beneficiary and therefore have the power to direct activities which are most significant to the joint venture.

i
The
following are the aggregate carrying values of the Korean joint venture’s assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, after eliminations of intercompany transactions and balances, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):
In
October 2021, we also entered into a new Commercial Cooperation Agreement (the “CCA”) regarding initiatives pertaining to the hydrogen market and general market expansion for our products.
The Initial Investment
Simultaneous with the execution of the above agreements, we entered into the SPA pursuant to which we agreed to sell and issue to SK ecoplant i10,000,000 shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Series A RCPS”), par value $i0.0001
per share, at a purchase price of $i25.50 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $i255.0 million. On December 29, 2021, the closing of the sale of the Series A RCPS was completed and we issued
the i10,000,000 shares of the Series A RCPS (the “Initial Investment”). In addition to the Initial Investment, the SPA provided SK ecoplant with an option to acquire a variable number of shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Option”). According to the SPA, SK ecoplant was entitled to exercise the Option through August 31, 2023, and the transaction must have been completed by November 30, 2023.
The sale of Series
A RCPS was recorded at its fair value of $i218.0 million on the date of issuance. Accordingly, we allocated the excess of the cash proceeds received of $i255.0 million plus the change
in fair value of the Series A RCPS between October 23, 2021, and December 29, 2021, of $i9.7 million, over the fair value of the Series A RCPS on December 29, 2021, and the fair value of the Option on October 23, 2021, to the PDA. This excess amounted
to $i37.0 million and was recorded in deferred revenue and customer deposits. Accordingly, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized product revenue of $i3.5
million and $i4.7 million, respectively, in connection with this arrangement. iiNo/
product revenue was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 in connection with this arrangement. As of December 31, 2022, the unrecognized amount of $i24.6 million included $i10.0
million in current deferred revenue and customer deposits and $i14.6 million in non-current deferred revenue and customer deposits on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June
31
30, 2023, the unrecognized amount of deferred revenue and customer deposits was reduced to izero
as a result of the Second Tranche Closing (see details below in section “The Second Tranche Closing”).
PDA, JVA, CCA and the SPA entered into with SK ecoplant concurrently were evaluated as a combined contract in accordance with ASC 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and, to the extent applicable for separated components, under the guidance of Topic 815 Derivatives and Hedging and applicable subsections and ASC 480 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.
We concluded that the Option was a freestanding financial instrument that should have been
separately recorded at fair value on the date the SPA was executed.
On August 10, 2022, pursuant to the SPA, SK ecoplant notified us of its intent to exercise its option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock, pursuant to a Second Tranche Exercise Notice (as defined in the SPA) electing to purchase i13,491,701 shares at a purchase price of $i23.05
per share (the “Second Tranche Closing”). As of December 31, 2022, this option was accounted for as the equity-classified forward contract.
For further information, see Part II, Item 8, Note 17 - SK ecoplant Strategic Investment in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
The Second Tranche Closing
On March 20, 2023, SK ecoplant entered into the Amended SPA with us, pursuant to which on March 23, 2023, we issued and sold to SK ecoplant i13,491,701
shares of non-voting Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock, par value $i0.0001 per share (the “Series B RCPS”), at a purchase price of $i23.05 per share for cash proceeds of $i311.0 million.
The
Amended SPA triggered the modification of the equity-classified forward contract on Class A common stock, which resulted in the derecognition of the pre-modification fair value of the forward contract given to SK ecoplant of $i76.2 million. The derecognition of the pre-modification fair value was
recorded in additional paid-in capital in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023.
The Series B RCPS was accounted for as a stock award with liability and equity components. The liability component of the Series B RCPS was recognized at the redemption value of $i311.0 million and the equity component of the Series B RCPS was recognized at its fair value of $i16.1
million on March 20, 2023 and recorded in current liabilities and additional paid-in capital, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023.
On March 20, 2023, in connection with the Amended SPA we also entered into the Loan Agreement, pursuant to which we have the option to draw on a loan from SK ecoplant with a maximum principal amount of $i311.0 million,
should SK ecoplant send a redemption notice to us under the Amended SPA. The Loan Agreement has a maturity of ifive years and bears an interest rate of i4.6%.
The Loan Agreement is a freestanding financial instrument; accordingly, we recognized a loan commitment asset at its fair value of $i52.8 million,
of which $i5.3 million was classified as current and $i47.5 million was classified as non-current in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023. The loan commitment asset will be amortized to interest expense
during the term of the Loan Agreement starting on the date the loan is drawn upon. Should SK ecoplant elect not to redeem the Series B RCPS under the Amended SPA, the loan commitment asset will be expensed immediately and recognized in interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Amended SPA and the Loan Agreement provided us with cash proceeds of $i311.0 million and a loan commitment asset of $i52.8 million
from SK ecoplant for total consideration of $i363.8 million. In return, SK ecoplant received consideration of $i403.3 million, comprising of the release from the obligation to close
on the original transaction fair valued at $i76.2 million, the obligation from us to issue the Series B RCPS at redemption value of $i311.0 million,
and the option to convert the Series B RCPS to Class A common stock, which has an estimated fair value of $i16.1 million. The excess consideration provided by us amounted to $i39.5 million,
which resulted in a reduction of our deferred revenue and customer deposits by $i24.6 million related to the Initial Investment, as of June 30, 2023. The net excess consideration of $i14.9 million
was recognized as $i8.2 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $i6.7 million was classified as other long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023. The
deferred expense is recognized as contra-revenue over the
32
take or pay period based on an estimate of the revenue we expect to receive under the remaining term of the PDA. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the deferred expense recognized as contra-revenue was immaterial.
Description of Series B RCPS - The significant rights and preferences of the Series B RCPS are as follows:
Liquidation: Upon the liquidation or dissolution of Bloom, or a deemed liquidation event (which includes a change in control or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of

Overview
Description
of Bloom Energy
Our mission is to make clean, reliable energy affordable for everyone in the world. We created the first large-scale, commercially viable solid oxide fuel-cell based power generation platform that empowers businesses, essential services, critical infrastructure and communities to responsibly take charge of their energy.
Our technology, invented in the United States, is one of the most advanced electricity and hydrogen producing technologies on the market today. Our fuel-flexible Bloom Energy Servers can use biogas, hydrogen, natural gas, or a blend of fuels to create resilient, sustainable and cost-predictable power at significantly higher efficiencies than traditional, combustion-based resources. In addition, our same solid oxide platform that powers our fuel cells can be used to create hydrogen, which is increasingly recognized as a critically important tool for
the decarbonization of the energy economy. Our enterprise customers include some of the largest multinational corporations in the world. We also have strong relationships with some of the largest utility companies in the United States and the Republic of Korea.
At Bloom Energy, we look forward to a net-zero future. Our technology is designed to help enable this future by delivering reliable, low-carbon electricity in a world facing unacceptable levels of power disruptions. Our resilient platform has kept electricity available for our customers through hurricanes, earthquakes, typhoons, forest fires, extreme heat and grid failures. Unlike traditional combustion power generation, our platform is community-friendly and designed to significantly reduce emissions of criteria air pollutants. We have made tremendous progress towards renewable fuel production through our biogas, hydrogen and electrolyzer programs, and we believe that
we are well-positioned as a core platform and fixture in the new energy paradigm to help organizations and communities achieve their net-zero objectives.
We market and sell our Energy Servers primarily through our direct sales organization in the United States, and we also have direct and indirect sales channels internationally. Recognizing that deploying our solutions requires a significant financial commitment, we have developed a number of financing options to support sales of our Energy Servers to customers who lack the financial capability to purchase our Energy Servers directly, and who may prefer to finance the acquisition using third-party financing or to contract for our services on a pay-as-you-go model.
34
Our
typical target commercial or industrial customer has historically been either an investment-grade entity or a customer with investment-grade attributes such as size, assets and revenue, liquidity, geographically diverse operations and general financial stability. We have also expanded our product and financing options to below-investment-grade customers and have also expanded internationally to target customers with deployments on a wholesale grid. Given that our customers are typically large institutions with multi-level decision making processes, we generally experience a lengthy sales process.
Strategic Investment
For information on the strategic investment with SK ecoplant, see Part II, Item 8, Note 1 - Nature of Business, Liquidity and Basis of Presentation, Liquidity section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2022, and Part I, Item 1, Note 15 - SK ecoplant Strategic Investment.
Certain Factors Affecting our Performance
Energy Market Conditions
The global energy transition to a zero-carbon environment has created new challenges and opportunities for utilities, suppliers of energy solutions and customers. Shifts and uncertainty in market and regulatory dynamics and corporate and governmental policies are currently impacting the selling process and extending sales cycles and timelines for the Company’s natural gas-, biogas- and hydrogen-related products. Increasing electricity rates, decreasing energy reliability, and delays in the development
of transmission infrastructure and grid interconnection have led to increased customer interest in our power solutions, but at the same time natural gas supply and pricing concerns due to geopolitical stresses and resulting market changes as well as increasing focus on sustainability targets have led to increased caution from customers. The increased use of renewable power generation and weather effects of climate change have exacerbated aging grid fragilities, increased the occurrence of power outages, created grid transmission shortages and lengthened already extensively delayed interconnection cycles. Low- and zero-carbon sources of baseload energy have also been curtailed and even banned in some locations, forcing utilities, states and countries to revisit less clean sources of baseload and intermediate power in an attempt to ensure energy reliability. This supply and demand mismatch globally has threatened energy security reliability, reduced the availability of
energy and increased the cost of energy.
Bloom’s power solutions enable customers to address these energy market challenges by offering fuel flexible solutions that are designed to provide cost predictable, resilient, reliable energy in a timely fashion. As customers and utilities navigate the energy transition and evolving landscape, the ability of our power solutions to fit their economic, regulatory and policy needs depends on a number of factors, including natural gas availability and pricing, electrical interconnection needs and availability, cost requirements and sustainability profile. Even in those situations where the time to power from the utility is years away in light of the need to build out energy transmission infrastructure, these factors still may impact a customer’s buying decision. For example, the rising cost of natural gas, limited availability of natural gas supply, as well as disruptions to the world
gas markets has increased the cost of our power solutions for the end customers and, in certain cases where there is a lack of fuel supply, a complete inability to operate the systems. In the United States, in particular, the lack or slow development of pipeline infrastructure is impacting the timing of customers being able to take advantage of our power solution opportunities. In certain jurisdictions in the United States and Europe, natural gas bans have been enacted that prevent the use of our power solutions unless alternative fuels are available. In addition, there is a growing hesitancy by potential customers to purchase our power solutions to run on natural gas. Increasingly, customers want a zero-carbon solution for power, and, although our power solutions are designed to run on biofuels or hydrogen (in addition to natural gas) and help our customers achieve their sustainability goals, these fuels continue to have very limited availability and, for most customers,
are not yet economical. This impetus by customers to use zero-carbon solutions today, combined with the current lack of availability of zero-carbon fuels, is impacting our power solution selling opportunities. Many of our potential data center and industrial customers are pursuing greenfield opportunities where the development cycle is long and the uncertainty of these factors is leading to a more difficult customer decision-making process and longer sales cycles.
Corporate procurement policy is also undergoing change that creates uncertainty; while some customers are increasingly focused on decarbonizing their own direct energy supply, including aligning the timing of their zero-carbon power generation with their energy consumption, others are shifting to prioritize overall carbon emissions from the energy system, both of which are impacting our sales.
The regulatory environment
for energy solutions continues to shift. In South Korea, the government recently moved to an auction process for a fuel cell purchases, which may impact demand for our power solutions until alternative fuels are available. In the United States, the investment tax credit (ITC) for fuel cells running on a non-zero carbon fuel currently expires at the end of 2024. In Ireland, which is a large data center market, a directive from the Minister of the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications to restrict grid connections to data centers and other large power users, along with a halt in high-pressure gas installations has delayed our selling activities in Ireland. Delays in adoption of Renewable Fuel Standard
35
regulations in the United States for
the use of biogas to generate electricity for electric vehicles, and minimal governmental focus on utilization of biogas outside of its direct use by methane-fueled vehicles, have created uncertainty in prospects for broader biogas availability for industrial uses, including our power solutions.
Significant governmental interest, investment and stimulation of clean hydrogen in the U.S., Europe and in many other regions across the globe have not yet had significant impacts on demand for hydrogen. To date, while the number of proposed hydrogen production projects has grown rapidly, only a small fraction have reached final investment decision (FID) stage, and an even smaller fraction have been deployed. In addition, the infrastructure needed to transport hydrogen, whether through pipelines or maritime or land-based tankers, is currently only sufficient for existing uses, and has not begun to be extended for anticipated future
uses, with hydrogen blending and other approaches remaining at pilot stages.
All of these factors have impacted the selling cycles for our electrolyzer product and power solutions. Our revenue, margins and cash flow in any given year are largely dependent on bookings during the prior year. If a substantial portion of our anticipated bookings for the remainder of 2023 is delayed beyond the end of this year, our revenue, margins and cash flow could be materially adversely impacted in 2024.
Supply Chain Constraints
We continue to see effects from global supply chain tightness due to the current inflationary environment, war in Ukraine and trade tensions between the United States and China. While we have not experienced any significant component shortages to date, we are facing pressures from longer lead times. These dynamics could worsen
as a result of continued geopolitical instability. In the event we are unable to mitigate the impacts of delays and/or price increases in raw materials, components, it could delay the manufacturing and installation of our Energy Servers and increase the costs of our Energy Servers, which would adversely impact our cash flows and results of operations, including our revenues and gross margin. We expect these supply chain challenges to continue in the short term.
Manufacturing and Labor Market Constraints
As recently as 2022, we experienced impacts from labor shortages and challenges in hiring for our manufacturing facilities. While these constraints abated in the first half of 2023, and we continue to dedicate resources to supporting our capacity expansion efforts, we may still experience difficulties with hiring and retention, particularly for our new manufacturing facility in Fremont,
California, and may face additional labor shortages in the future. In addition, the current inflationary environment has led to rising wages and labor costs as well as increased competition for labor. In the event these constraints return and we are unable to continue to mitigate the impacts of these challenges, it could delay the manufacturing and installation of our Energy Servers or Electrolyzers and we may be unable to meet customer demand, which could adversely impact our cash flows and results of operations, including our revenues and gross margin.
Customer Financing Constraints
Our ability to obtain financing for our Energy Servers depends partially on the creditworthiness of our customers, and deterioration of our customers’ credit ratings can impact the financing for their use of our Energy Servers. Regional banking and financial institution instability, such as the failure
of Silicon Valley Bank in the first quarter of 2023, may make it more difficult for our customers to obtain financing. We continue to work on obtaining the financing required for our 2023 installations, but if we are unable to secure such financing, our revenue, cash flow and liquidity could be materially impacted. We expect that in the United States, the IRA and the transferability of tax credits, should make the financing market more robust.
Installations and Maintenance of Energy Servers
In the first half of 2023, our installation projects experienced some delays relating to, among other things, permitting, utility delays and access to customer facilities. However, these delays were not significant for our business.
If we are delayed in or unable to perform maintenance, our previously installed Energy Servers would likely experience
adverse performance impacts, including reduced output and/or efficiency, which could result in warranty and/or guaranty claims by our customers. Further, due to the nature of our Energy Servers, if we are unable to replace worn parts in accordance with our standard maintenance schedule, we may incur higher costs in the future. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we experienced no delays in servicing our Energy Servers.
Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”)
We are committed to a goal of providing consistent returns to our stockholders while maintaining a strong sense of good corporate citizenship that places a high value on the environment, welfare of our employees, the communities in which we
36
operate,
the customers we serve, and the world as a whole. We believe that prioritizing, improving, and managing our ESG related risks, opportunities and programs help us to better create long-term value for our investors.
In April 2023, we released our 2022 Sustainability Report, Advancing the Mission of Decarbonization (the “Sustainability Report”), using generally accepted ESG frameworks and standards, including alignment with Sustainability Accounting Standards Board standards and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures recommendations. In addition, the Sustainability Report also utilized certain Global Reporting Initiative standards and was mapped against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We plan to issue a sustainability report on an annual basis.
Our mission is to make clean, reliable energy affordable for everyone in the world. To that end,
we strive to empower businesses and communities to responsibly take charge of their energy while addressing both the causes and consequences of climate change. We aim to serve our customers with products that are resilient, providing uninterrupted power with predictable pricing over the long-term, while addressing sustainability issues by developing an increasingly broad portfolio of solutions for decarbonization.
For information on the IRA, which was signed into law on August 16, 2022, and its impact on our business, see Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 – New and Expanded Production and Tax Credits for Manufacturers and Projects to Support Clean Energy section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We raised cash and supplemented liquidity through financing activities with SK ecoplant in the first quarter of 2023 and issuing the 3% Green Notes due June 2028 in the second quarter of 2023. At the same time,
we increased our working capital spend. In the first half of 2023, we built up inventory in preparation for more expected shipments in the second half of 2023. This enabled us to level load production and gain manufacturing efficiency. In addition, we entered into new leases in Delaware intended to expand our warehouse space to store more inventory to meet the anticipated increase in demand in the second half of 2023 and beyond. Inventory is expected to decrease in the second half of 2023 as we ship our Energy Servers.
On March 20, 2023, we entered into the Amended SPA, with SK ecoplant, pursuant to which we issued and sold to SK ecoplant 13,491,701 shares of Series B RCPS for cash proceeds of $311.0 million.
On March 20, 2023, in connection
with the Amended SPA, we also entered into the Loan Agreement, pursuant to which we may draw down on a loan from SK ecoplant with a maximum principal amount of $311.0 million, should SK ecoplant send a redemption notice to us under the Amended SPA or otherwise reduce any portion of its current holdings of our Class A common stock. The Loan Agreement has a maturity of five years and bears an interest rate of 4.6%. The proceeds of the loan can be used by us for working capital and general corporate purpose needs. There were no amounts outstanding under the Loan Agreement as of June 30, 2023.
For further information on the strategic investment with SK ecoplant, see Part I, Item 1, Note 15 - SK ecoplant Strategic Investment.
On May 16, 2023,
we issued the 3% Green Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $632.5 million due June 2028, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted, resulting in net cash proceeds of $616.7 million. On June 1, 2023, we used approximately $60.9 million of the net proceeds from this offering to redeem all of the outstanding principal amount of our 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due March 2027. The redemption price equaled 104% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. We also used approximately $54.5 million of the net proceeds from the offering to purchase the Capped Calls. For additional information, please see Part I, Item 1, Note 7 - Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements.
For further information on issuance of 3% Green Notes and redemption of our 10.25% Senior Secured Notes, please see Part I, Item 1,
Note 7 - Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements.
As of June 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $767.1 million. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, including money market funds. We maintain these balances with high credit quality counterparties, regularly monitor the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and diversify our investments in order to minimize our credit risk.
37
As of June 30, 2023,
we had $839.2 million of recourse debt, $118.6 million of non-recourse debt and $9.4 million of other long-term liabilities. As of June 30, 2023, the current portion of our total debt was $10.8 million, and consisted entirely of outstanding non-recourse debt. For a complete description of our outstanding debt, please see Part I, Item 1, Note 7 - Outstanding Loans and Security Agreements.
The combination of our cash and cash equivalents and cash flow to be generated by our operations is expected to be sufficient to meet our
anticipated cash flow needs for at least the next 12 months. If these sources of cash are insufficient or are not received in a timely manner to satisfy our near-term or future cash needs, we may require additional capital from equity or debt financings to fund our operations, and in particular our manufacturing capacity, product development and market expansion requirements, to timely respond to competitive market pressures or strategic opportunities, or otherwise. We may, from time to time, engage in a variety of financing transactions for such purposes, including factoring our accounts receivable. However, we may not be able to secure timely additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. The terms of any additional financing may place limits on our financial and operating flexibility. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or equity-linked securities, our existing stockholders could suffer dilution in their percentage ownership of us,
and any new securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending on research and development efforts and other business initiatives, the rate of growth in the volume of system builds and the need for additional manufacturing space, the expansion of sales and marketing activities both in domestic and international markets, market acceptance of our products, our ability to secure financing for customer use of our Energy Servers, the timing of installations and of inventory build in anticipation of future sales and installations, and overall economic conditions. In order to support and achieve our future growth plans, we may need or seek advantageously to obtain additional funding through an equity or debt financing.
Failure to obtain this financing or financing in future quarters may affect our results of operations, including our revenues and cash flows.
A summary of our consolidated sources and uses of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was as follows (in thousands):
Net cash provided by (used in) our PPA Entities, which are incorporated into the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, was as follows (in thousands):
1
The PPA Entities’ operating and financing cash flows are a subset of our consolidated cash flows and represent the stand-alone cash flows prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Operating activities consist principally of cash used to run the operations of the PPA Entities, the purchase of Energy Servers from us and principal reductions in loan balances. Financing activities consist primarily of changes in debt carried by our PPAs, and payments from and distributions to noncontrolling partnership interests. We believe this presentation of net cash provided by (used in) PPA activities is useful to provide the reader with the impact to consolidated cash flows of the PPA Entities in which we have only a minority interest.
Our operating activities consisted of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items plus changes in our operating assets and liabilities or working capital.Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023was $361.2 million, an increase of $262.7 million compared to the prior year period. The increase in cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared
to the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in working capital of $306.0 million due to an increase in accounts receivable triggered by the timing of revenue transactions and corresponding collections, the increase in inventory levels to support future demand, and the timing of payments to vendors, partially offset by an improvement in our net loss.
Investing Activities
Our investing activities have consisted of capital expenditures, including investments to increase our production capacity. We expect to continue such investing activities as our business grows. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $46.1 million, an increase of $1.4 million compared to the prior year period, and was primarily due to expenditures on tenant improvements for a newly leased engineering and manufacturing
building in Fremont, California, opened in July 2022. We expect to continue to make capital expenditures over the next few quarters to prepare our new manufacturing facility in Fremont, California, for production, which includes the purchase of new equipment and other tenant improvements. We intend to fund these capital expenditures from cash on hand as well as cash flow to be generated from operations. We may also evaluate and arrange equipment lease financing to fund these capital expenditures.
Financing Activities
Historically, our financing activities consisted of borrowings and repayments of debt, proceeds and repayments of financing obligations, distributions paid to noncontrolling interests, contributions from noncontrolling interests, and proceeds from the issuances of our common stock. Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months
ended June 30, 2023 was $811.8 million, an increase of $868.8 million compared to the prior year period, and was primarily due to the net proceeds from the issuance of the 3% Green Notes of $632.5 million, the proceeds from the issuance of redeemable convertible preferred stock as part of the SK ecoplant Second Tranche Closing of $311.0 million, contribution from noncontrolling interest of $7.0 million and the proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $9.3 million, partially offset by our repayment of debt of $72.9 million, purchases of the Capped Calls of $54.5 million, payment of debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 3% Green Notes of $15.8 million, and repayment of financing obligations of $8.7 million.

Performance Guarantees
As of June 30, 2023, we had incurred no liabilities due to failure to repair or replace Energy Servers pursuant to any performance warranties made under operations and maintenance agreements (“O&M Agreements”). For O&M Agreements that are subject to renewal,
our future service revenue from such agreements are subject to our obligations to make payments for underperformance against the performance guaranties, which are capped at an aggregate total of approximately $548.4 million (including $422.5 million related to portfolio financing entities and $125.9 million related to all other transactions, and include payments for both low output and low efficiency) and our aggregate remaining potential liability related to these underperformance obligations was approximately $482.5 million as of June 30, 2023. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we made performance guarantee payments of $19.9 million.

Installation costs on product accepted increased approximately $88 per kilowatt, or 24.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase in cost was primarily driven by the change in the mix of sites requiring Bloom installation. Each customer site is different and installation costs can vary due to a number of factors, including site complexity, size, and location of gas, among other factors. As such, installation on a per kilowatt basis can vary significantly from period to period. In addition, some customers handle their own installation for which we incur little to no
installation cost.

Cost of product revenue increased by $15.7 million, or 12.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. The cost of product revenue increase was driven by a 28.7% increase in product offset by a lower cost per unit attributable to our ongoing efforts to reduce material costs, cost reduction programs with our vendors and reduction in labor and overhead costs through increased volume, improved processes and automation at our manufacturing facilities.
Cost of product revenue increased by $39.6 million, or 16.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period. The cost of product revenue increase was driven by a 32.2% increase in product acceptances offset by a lower cost per unit attributable to our
ongoing efforts to reduce material costs, cost reduction programs with our vendors and reduction in labor and overhead costs through increased volume, improved processes and automation at our manufacturing facilities.
Cost of Installation Revenue
Cost of installation revenue increased by $10.1 million, or 60.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period.

Interest
Income
Interest income is derived from investment earnings on our cash balances primarily from money market funds.

Net
loss attributable to noncontrolling interests is the result of allocating profits and losses to noncontrolling interests under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method. HLBV is a balance sheet-oriented approach for applying the equity method of accounting when there is a complex structure, such as the flip structure of the PPA Entities.
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period changed by $0.6 million predominantly due to a decrease in gain in joint venture in the Republic of Korea, which is allocated to our noncontrolling interest.
Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period changed by $0.1
million due to a lower losses in our PPA Entities, which are allocated to our noncontrolling interest. Change in net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year period was $0.3 million.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and
expenses and related disclosures. Our discussion and analysis of our financial results under Results of Operations above are based on our results of operations, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and net income. On an ongoing basis, we base our estimates on historical experience, as appropriate, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the accounting estimates are representative of estimation uncertainty and are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are material
differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity than our other accounting policies. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to understanding and evaluating the consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
The accounting policies that most frequently require us to make assumptions, judgments and estimates, and therefore are critical to understanding our results of operations, include:
•Revenue Recognition;
•Valuation of Assets and Liabilities of the SK ecoplant Strategic Investment;
•Incremental
Borrowing Rate by Lease Class;
•Stock-Based Compensation;
•Income Taxes;
•Principles of Consolidation; and
•Allocation of Profits and Losses of Consolidated Entities to Noncontrolling Interests.
