Fluence Energy, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results; Reaffirms Fiscal Year 2025 Guidance

ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fluence Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: FLNC) (“Fluence” or the “Company”), a global market leader delivering intelligent energy storage, operational services, and asset optimization software, today announced its results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025. Financial Highlights for Fiscal Quarter ended June 30, 2025 Revenue of approximately $602.5 million, which represents an increase of approximately 24.7% from the same quarter last year, primarily driven by the significantly weighted second half compared to the revenue distribution seen in full year 2024.GAAP gross profit margin was approximately 14.8%, compared to approximately 17.2% for the same quarter last year. Adjusted gross profit margin1 was approximately 15.4%, compared to approximately 17.5% for the same quarter last year.Net income of approximately $6.9 million, compared to approximately $1.1 million for the same quarter last year.Adjusted EBITDA1 of approximately $27.4 million, compared to approximately $15.6 million for the same quarter last year.Signed approximately $508.8 million of order intake in the third fiscal quarter, bringing backlog as of June 30, 2025 to approximately $4.9 billion. In addition, in July and August to date, the Company has signed approximately $1.1 billion of contracts, including two contracts in Australia. Total Cash2 of approximately $459.9 million as of June 30, 2025, reflecting planned investments in working capital made during the third fiscal quarter. Total liquidity3 was approximately $903 million as of June 30, 2025, including capacity under the Company's revolving credit facility of $342.5 million.4In August, the Company executed a new supply chain financing facility providing incremental liquidity of $150.0 million. Financial Outlook The Company is reaffirming its fiscal year 2025 revenue guidance range of $2.6 billion to $2.8 billion, but now expects to be at the lower end of the range due to a slower than expected production ramp up at its recently commissioned U.S. manufacturing facilities. This delay has shifted some anticipated revenue in fiscal year 2026. These facilities are expected to reach targeted capacity by calendar year-end, ensuring on-time customer deliveries and strengthening Fluence's domestic content position.The Company is reaffirming its fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance range of $0 to $20 million (midpoint $10 million), reflecting stronger gross margins for the third fiscal quarter than projected coupled with overhead cost reductions.The Company is reaffirming its fiscal year 2025 annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) guidance of approximately $145 million. “We delivered strong margins this quarter, underscoring the strength of our operating model and improved execution,” said Julian Nebreda, Chief Executive Officer of Fluence. “We also began ramping production and delivered our first domestic content products from U.S.-based manufacturing facilities to customer sites. However, delays in scaling our new manufacturing facilities in the U.S. resulted in lower-than-expected revenue for the quarter. We anticipate recovering this revenue in fiscal 2026 as these facilities reach their targeted production levels. We believe the fundamentals of our business remain incredibly strong, supported by a robust backlog, of which we expect approximately $2.5 billion to convert to revenue in fiscal 2026, including contracts signed in July and August to date.” “We are on track to hit key gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA targets inline with our fiscal 2025 guidance—even as some revenue shifts into 2026,” said Ahmed Pasha, Chief Financial Officer of Fluence. Securing our first unsecured, low-cost supply chain financing facility of $150 million reflects market confidence in Fluence and our energy storage business. Providing us additional flexibility to capitalize on future opportunities for growth.” The foregoing Financial Outlook statements represent management's current best estimate as of the date of this release. Actual results may differ materially depending on a number of factors. Investors are urged to read the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements included in this release. Management does not assume any obligation to update these estimates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures We present our operating results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). We believe certain financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, and Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP measures, provide users of our financial statements with supplemental information that may be useful in evaluating our operating performance. We believe that such non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with our operating results presented in accordance with GAAP, can be used to better assess our performance from period to period and relative to performance of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure. Such non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures have limitations as analytical tools, including that other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently, reducing their usefulness as comparative measures. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated from the consolidated statements of operations using net income (loss) adjusted for (i) interest income, net, (ii) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, and (v) other non-recurring income or expenses. Adjusted EBITDA also includes amounts impacting net income related to estimated payments due to related parties pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, dated October 27, 2021, by and among Fluence Energy, Inc., Fluence Energy, LLC, Siemens Industry, Inc. and AES Grid Stability, LLC (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”). Adjusted Gross Profit is calculated using gross profit, adjusted to exclude (i) stock-based compensation expenses, (ii) depreciation and amortization, and (iii) other non-recurring income or expenses. Adjusted Gross Profit Margin is calculated using Adjusted Gross Profit divided by total revenue. Free Cash Flow is calculated from the consolidated statements of cash flows and is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less purchase of property and equipment made in the period. We expect our Free Cash Flow to fluctuate in future periods as we invest in our business to support our plans for growth. Limitations on the use of Free Cash Flow include (i) it should not be inferred that the entire Free Cash Flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures (for example, cash is still required to satisfy other working capital needs, including short-term investment policy, restricted cash, and intangible assets); (ii) Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net cash provided by operating activities; and (iii) this metric does not reflect our future contractual commitments. Please refer to the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included in tables contained at the end of this release. The Company is not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of full fiscal year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP Net Income (Loss) on a forward-looking basis because of the uncertainty around certain items that may impact Adjusted EBITDA, including stock compensation and restructuring expenses, that are not within our control or cannot be predicted at this time without unreasonable effort.

Deployed is monitored by management to measure our performance towards achieving project milestones. Assets Under Management Assets under management for service contracts represents our long-term service contracts with customers associated with our completed energy storage system products and solutions. We start providing maintenance, monitoring, or other operational services after the storage product projects are completed. In some cases, services may be commenced for energy storage solutions prior to achievement of substantial completion. This is not limited to energy storage solutions delivered by Fluence. Assets under management for digital software represents contracts signed and active (post go live). Assets under management serves as an indicator of expected revenue from our customers and assists management in forecasting our expected financial performance. Contracted Backlog For our energy storage products and solutions contracts, contracted backlog includes signed customer orders or contracts under execution prior to when substantial completion is achieved. For service contracts, contracted backlog includes signed service agreements associated with our storage product projects that have not been completed and the associated service has not started. For digital applications contracts, contracted backlog includes signed agreements where the associated subscription has not started. We cannot guarantee that our contracted backlog will result in actual revenue in the originally anticipated period or at all. Contracted backlog may not generate margins equal to our historical operating results. Our customers may experience project delays or cancel orders as a result of external market factors and economic or other factors beyond our control. If our contracted backlog fails to result in revenue as anticipated or in a timely manner, we could experience a reduction in revenue, profitability, and liquidity. Contracted/Order Intake Contracted, which we use interchangeably with “order intake”, represents new energy storage product and solutions contracts, new service contracts and new digital contracts signed during each period presented. We define “Contracted” as a firm and binding purchase order, letter of award, change order or other signed contract (in each case an “Order”) from the customer that is received and accepted by Fluence. Our order intake is intended to convey the dollar amount and gigawatts (operating measure) contracted in the period presented. We believe that order intake provides useful information to investors and management because the order intake provides visibility into future revenue and enables evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s sales activity and the attractiveness of its offerings in the market. Pipeline Pipeline represents our uncontracted, potential revenue from energy storage products and solutions, service, and digital software contracts, which have a reasonable likelihood of contract execution within 24 months. Pipeline is an internal management metric that we construct from market information reported by our global sales force. Pipeline is monitored by management to understand the anticipated growth of our Company and our estimated future revenue related to customer contracts for our battery-based energy storage products and solutions, services and digital software. We cannot guarantee that our pipeline will result in actual revenue in the originally anticipated period or at all. Pipeline may not generate margins equal to our historical operating results. Our customers may experience project delays or cancel orders as a result of external market factors and economic or other factors beyond our control. If our pipeline fails to result in revenue as anticipated or in a timely manner, we could experience a reduction in revenue, profitability, and liquidity. Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) ARR represents the net annualized contracted value including software subscriptions including initial trial, licensing, long term service agreements, and extended warranty agreements as of the reporting period. ARR excludes one-time fees, revenue share or other revenue that is non-recurring and variable. The Company believes ARR is an important operating metric as it provides visibility to future revenue. It is important to management to increase this visibility as we continue to expand. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue and should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue as ARR is an operating metric and is not intended to replace these items.
