DANBURY, CT – January 21, 2021 -- FuelCell Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: FCEL) -- a global leader in fuel cell technology—with a purpose of utilizing its proprietary, state-of-the-art fuel cell platforms to enable a world empowered by clean energy—today reported financial results and key business highlights for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2020.
“One year ago we launched our Powerhouse business strategy, with the first pillar of the strategy – Transform – containing the key deliverable of building a solid financial foundation,” said Mr. Jason Few, President and CEO. “Having made progress toward this goal, and as we look toward the second year of our journey, we intend to focus on operational and commercial excellence, while maintaining prudent capital deployment, reducing our overall cost of capital and focusing on lean resource management, cost reduction opportunities, and developing and defining a clear strategic roadmap for the Company. We are firmly focused on delivering revenue growth as we strive to capture the significant market opportunities that we believe lay before us with our proprietary technologies.”
Mr. Few continued, “During fiscal year 2020, we made progress executing on our project backlog, including completion of our 2.8 megawatt biogas power platform in Tulare, California. Additionally, we are near completion on the combined 8.8 megawatts of new power platforms at the U.S. Navy base in Groton, Connecticut and at the wastewater treatment facility in San Bernardino, California. We also recently began early stage construction activity on 24.5 megawatts of projects, including the Toyota hydrogen project at the Port of Long Beach, and utility scale projects in Yaphank, New York and Derby, Connecticut. Financially, we have improved our balance sheet through a series of strategic capital raises, allowing us to retire high-cost debt and providing unrestricted cash to execute on our strategic initiatives and growth plans.”
“The global marketplace is increasingly looking for cleaner energy solutions to combat climate change, made possible by regulatory support and private capital being deployed around the world. We are developing compelling innovations in distributed hydrogen, long-duration storage and carbon capture that we believe will differentiate FuelCell Energy solutions from others in the marketplace and will enable end-users to meet sustainability goals. Based on the initial policy objectives outlined by the incoming White
FuelCell Energy Fourth Quarter And Fiscal Year 2020 Results Page 2
House administration, we expect clean energy and climate policies in the U.S. to begin to match the pace of advancement seen in other markets such as Europe and Asia, and to be favorable toward development of the growing hydrogen economy,” added Mr. Jason Few.
“Operationally, continuous improvement and accelerating execution of our business plan are major focus areas for FuelCell Energy. For example, during fiscal year 2020, we made a number of improvements in our manufacturing processes and capabilities, focusing on increasing throughput and simplifying and streamlining production steps, while implementing applicable social distancing protocols. In late June, we restarted operations at our Torrington manufacturing facility with an annualized production rate of 17 megawatts. As a result of the improvements in our manufacturing processes and capabilities, the Company now has the capability to increase our annualized production rate up to 45 megawatts on a single production shift.”
Powerhouse Business Strategy Update
In January 2020, we launched our Powerhouse business strategy, which is focused on initiatives intended to Transform, Strengthen and Grow our company over a three-year period.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, we:
Additionally, since the end of fiscal year 2020, we have:
Mr. Few concluded, “The four key product opportunities we are pursuing are: (1) distributed generation, (2) distributed hydrogen, (3) long-duration hydrogen energy storage and power generation as well as electrolysis, and (4) carbon capture, sequestration and utilization (CCSU). These technologies provide an opportunity for FuelCell Energy to be a key solutions provider and an enabler in the global clean energy transition. In fiscal year 2021, we are focused on commercially advancing new applications of our technology, including working toward delivery of our first demonstration solid oxide electrolysis platform, while continuing to execute on our backlog of projects and delivering our traditional distributed generation solutions.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results
Note: All comparisons are between the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, unless otherwise specified.
Fourth quarter revenues increased 54% to $17.0 million, primarily reflecting increases in Service and License and Advanced Technologies contract revenues, partially offset by a decrease in Generation revenues.
|
• |
Service and License revenues increased 623% to $5.4 million from $0.8 million. Service revenues included revenue recognized for module exchanges at three plant locations compared to no module exchanges in the comparable prior year period. |
|
• |
Generation revenues decreased 6% to $5.1 million from $5.5 million due to plant maintenance activities, primarily related to downtime while upgrades were performed at our 14.9 MW Bridgeport Fuel Cell facility. |
|
• |
Advanced Technologies contract revenues increased 48% to $6.4 million from $4.3 million as a result of revenues recognized in connection with our Joint Development Agreement with ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company (“EMRE”), which was executed during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and the timing of activity under other existing contracts. |
Cost of service and license revenues in the quarter increased to $8.1 million from $3.8 million in the comparable prior year period, as the Company performed module exchanges for three projects, compared to no module exchanges in the comparable prior year period. Cost of generation revenues decreased to $10.3 million from $22.6 million. Results for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019 include a non-cash impairment charge of $14.4 million, and results for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020 include a non-cash impairment charge of $2.4 million. These non-cash impairment charges related to a decision by the Company made in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019 to operate the Triangle Street Project under a merchant model and the Company’s use of the Triangle Street Project as a development platform for the Company’s advanced applications.
Gross loss totaled $(8.0) million, compared to $(23.4) million. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was impacted by, among other things, timing and mix of advanced technology activities, higher service costs during the quarter, and an impairment charge of $2.4 million during the quarter relating to our Triangle
FuelCell Energy Fourth Quarter And Fiscal Year 2020 Results Page 4
Street Project. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 included non-cash impairment charges totaling $17.5 million related to our Triangle Street Project and the termination of the Bolthouse Farms Project power purchase agreement due to unfavorable regulatory changes.
Operating expenses decreased 5% to $9.1 million, compared to $9.6 million. This decrease was driven by a reduction in administrative and selling expenses reflecting the restructuring initiatives implemented in 2019, slightly offset by an increase in research and development expenses.
Net loss for the quarter totaled $(18.9) million compared to net loss of $(35.2) million. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter totaled $(19.7) million, or $(0.08) per share, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(36.0) million, or $(0.23) per share. The lower net loss per common share for the quarter ended October 31, 2020 is primarily due to the higher weighted average shares outstanding due to share issuances since October 31, 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $(8.6) million for the quarter compared to an Adjusted EBITDA of $(11.0) million for the comparable prior year period. Total depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter was $5.5 million, of which $4.3 million was attributable to our generation portfolio. Please see the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as applicable reconciliations in the appendix at the end of this release.
Note: All comparisons are between fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2019, unless otherwise specified.
Revenues increased 17% to $70.9 million from $60.8 million, primarily attributable to expanded Generation and Advanced Technologies activities.
|
• |
Advanced Technologies contract revenues increased 31% to $25.8 million from $19.6 million, primarily due to revenues recognized in connection with the Company’s Joint Development Agreement with EMRE. |
|
• |
Product Sales decreased to $0 from $0.5 million. |
Gross loss in fiscal year 2020 totaled $(7.7) million, compared to gross loss of $(21.3) million in fiscal year 2019.
Operating expenses for fiscal year 2020 decreased 31% to $31.4 million compared to $45.7 million in fiscal year 2019. Research and development expenses were $4.8 million in fiscal year 2020 compared to $13.8 million in fiscal year 2019. This decrease reflects the reduction in spending resulting from the restructuring initiatives implemented in fiscal year 2019 and the reduction in the resources being allocated to internal
FuelCell Energy Fourth Quarter And Fiscal Year 2020 Results Page 5
research and development activities, as resources were instead allocated to funded Advanced Technologies projects. Administrative and selling expenses in fiscal year 2020 decreased to $26.6 million from $31.9 million in fiscal year 2019. The decrease primarily relates to proceeds from a legal settlement of $2.2 million received during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020, which was recorded as an offset to administrative and selling expenses, and higher legal and consulting costs incurred during the year ended October 31, 2019 in connection with the restructuring and refinancing initiatives undertaken by the Company in fiscal year 2019.
Net loss for fiscal year 2020 totaled $(89.1) million compared to net loss of $(77.6) million. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for fiscal year 2020 totaled $(92.4) million, or $(0.42) per share, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(100.2) million, or $(1.82) per share. Net loss and net loss attributable to common stockholders for fiscal year 2020 included a negative non-cash impact related to the change in fair value of common stock warrant liability of $37.1 million. The lower net loss per common share for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 is primarily due to the higher weighted average shares outstanding due to share issuances since October 31, 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal year 2020 improved 44% to ($17.7) million, compared to ($31.4) million in fiscal year 2019. Please see the discussion of non-GAAP financial measures and Adjusted EBITDA in the appendix at the end of this release.
Unrestricted Cash and Financing Update

As of October 31, 2020, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $149.9 million compared to $9.4 million as of October 31, 2019.
Subsequent to the 2020 Fiscal Year End:
On December 4, 2020, the Company closed on an underwritten offering of 25 million shares of its common stock. Net proceeds to the Company after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses totaled approximately $156.3 million.

-2.5% |
Backlog decreased 2.5% to $1.29 billion as of October 31, 2020, reflecting the continued execution of backlog and adjustments to Generation backlog, primarily resulting from the decrease in fuel pricing which has lowered estimated future revenue. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in our Advanced Technologies backlog, primarily as a result of the Joint Development Agreement with EMRE.
Only projects for which we have an executed PPA are included in Generation backlog, which represents future revenue under long-term PPAs. Together, the Service and Generation portion of backlog had a weighted average term of approximately 18 years, with weighting based on the dollar amount of backlog and utility service contracts of up to 20 years in duration at inception.
Backlog represents definitive agreements executed by the Company and our customers. Projects sold to customers (and not retained by the Company) are included in product sales and Service backlog and the related Generation backlog is removed upon the sale.

FuelCell Energy Fourth Quarter And Fiscal Year 2020 Results Page 11
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Financial results are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Management also uses non-GAAP measures to analyze and make operating decisions on the business. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA are alternate, non-GAAP measures of cash utilization by the Company.
These supplemental non-GAAP measures are provided to assist readers in determining operating performance. Management believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in assessing performance and highlighting trends on an overall basis. Management also believes these measures are used by companies in the fuel cell sector and by securities analysts and investors when comparing the results of the Company with those of other companies. EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss attributable to the Company, primarily because it does not include finance expense, income taxes and depreciation of property, plant and equipment and project assets. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and other unusual items such as the legal settlement recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which are considered either non-cash or non-recurring.
While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these measures. The measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The following table calculates EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciles these figures to the GAAP financial statement measure Net loss.

Management also believes these measures are used by companies in the fuel cell sector and by securities analysts and investors when comparing the results of the Company with those of other companies. EBITDA differs from the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss attributable to the Company, primarily because it does not include finance expense, income taxes and depreciation of property, plant and equipment and project assets. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and other unusual items such as the legal settlement recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which are considered either non-cash or non-recurring. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors, there are limitations associated with the use of these measures. The measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
