Remain Focused on Delivering Margin Expansion and Substantial Revenue Growth
Material Handling Continues to Deliver:
FreezPak and Lidl Named Pedestal Customers
We have added FreezPak Logistics and Lidl as pedestal customers and continue to work with ASDA and Grainger. FreezPak Logistics is a leading third-party food logistics company that will be deploying fuel cells and hydrogen storage and fueling infrastructure to nine additional sites and nearly 400 lift trucks per site. This multi-site agreement makes FreezPak Logistics a pedestal customer — joining other leading companies, such as Amazon, Walmart and Home Depot. At this year’s Plug Symposium, FreezPak co-CEOs highlighted the value proposition of our fuel cell solutions in cold-storage applications and referred to this solution as their way to get “out of battery jail”.
We have also added Lidl, one of the largest retailers in Europe, as a pedestal customer. We have installed our fuel cell systems, converted our first site with Lidl earlier this year in France, and expect to convert several sites with them in 2023. In the UK, we have converted our first site with ASDA this year and are now evaluating up to 12 sites. We also have a master agreement in place with Grainger, a Fortune 500 industrial supply company, and are already in engineering and permitting at four sites.
Business prospects remain robust as evidenced by additions of more pedestal customers both in the US and Europe. In addition, our growing installed base is creating a stream of compounding recurring revenue as customers replace GenDrive units at the end of five-to-six-year contracts and sign into multiyear service and fuel agreements. This recurring revenue was 25% higher year over year.
Concurrently, Plug’s material handling total available market (TAM) is anticipated to almost double by launching the Company’s new lower cost hydrogen solution that can lower total cost of ownership and provide a strong economic proposition to medium size material handling fleets.
2
In addition, we are focused on four key business objectives to drive revenue and margin growth further:
| 1. | Build out force majeure resilient green hydrogen generation network in North America and expand in Europe. | |
| 2. | Translate substantial electrolyzer backlog and sales funnel to deliver robust revenue growth. | |
| 3. | Execute on the growth of the stationary business in multiple applications following the successful demo with Microsoft. | |
| 4. | Deliver robust growth in the European market in material handling, stationary power applications, on-road mobility, and green hydrogen generation. |
Green Hydrogen Generation Network Buildout Updates
Georgia: We continue to make significant progress on the build out of the Georgia plant and Plug plans to commission 15TPD by YE22. We are also doing necessary work to expand this site to 30TPD by YE23.
Georgia Green Hydrogen Plant: Test fills of HPTT in progress; Rectifiers are placed; Foundation for electrolyzer and liquefier is set.
3
Storage and rectifier equipment is being installed. Electrolyzer building foundation is complete, and liquefier foundation is in progress. Delivery of the liquefier and electrolyzer equipment is expected this month, and power distribution control (PDC) deliveries are expected in December, keeping us on track to commission the plant by YE22.
Olin JV - Louisiana: Plug and Olin recently announced the launch of a 50/50 JV to begin construction of a 15TPD hydrogen plant in Louisiana. Geotechnical work has been completed at the site. Engineering has been kicked off, and we plan to break ground in November. We expect to have major equipment, including compressors and liquefiers, on site by YE2022 to start commissioning. We are also in discussion with our JV partner Olin to expand beyond Louisiana into additional locations.
Tennessee: We are in the process of expanding the already operational Tennessee plant to up to 20TPD. This plant continues to support our delivery network and our customer’s mission critical applications, as we bring additional liquid plants online.
Alabama, New York: We are continuing to make progress on our green hydrogen plant in New York. This plant can be expanded from 45 TPD to 75TPD. As we have previously highlighted, the commissioning of this plant was shifted into 2023 due to permitting delays with the substation. Most of the permits related to the substation are now in place, and we are working in collaboration with NYPA and National Grid with plans to energize the substation in the second half of 2023. It is important to note that the majority of the long lead time items are already procured, with delivery planned before the substation is energized. The two spheres under construction will be able to store over 235 tons of liquid hydrogen combined.
Texas: The 45TPD plant in Texas is breaking ground in the fourth quarter of 2022. All permits are in place, and long lead time items are already ordered and being manufactured. We are planning to commission this plant in the fourth quarter of 2023.
4
We remain confident to exit 2022 with 45-50 TPD of hydrogen generation plants being commissioned. We believe we have a clear path to commission 200TPD of green hydrogen by YE23, positioning Plug to become the world’s largest liquid hydrogen generation company exiting 2023. We believe all of this work and activity provides a sustainable competitive advantage for Plug.
The Passage of Inflation Reduction Act:
Transformational Event and Accelerates Plug’s Fuel Margin Expansion
Plug’s third-party sourcing of hydrogen, coupled with increasing natural gas prices, has continued to pressure our hydrogen fuel business, with the second half of 2022 likely representing the peak of hydrogen molecule costs for Plug. This business should see a step change throughout 2023 as our green hydrogen production facilities come online. Plug’s hydrogen production, coupled with the $3/kg PTC, should enable the fuel business to exit 2023 with break-even run-rate, despite continued mix of higher priced third-party legacy contracts. We expect further gross margin expansion above 30% as additional green hydrogen plants come online in 2024 and beyond.
With the $3/kg production tax credit (PTC), Plug’s green hydrogen and electrolyzer solutions can be economical in large additional markets such as refining, green ammonia and methanol, representing as much as 25,000TPD of existing hydrogen demand. In addition, the PTC is expected to improve the total cost of ownership for multiple fuel cell applications including mobility and stationary power. Liquid green hydrogen from our generation network was already competitive versus gray hydrogen and was already competitive versus diesel prices in mobility application.
5
IRA also provides multiple benefits to our green hydrogen generation assets. As we have previously highlighted, Plug’s first generation of green hydrogen plants have paybacks between 8 to 12 years. Now with $3/kg PTC for green hydrogen and as we continue to optimize plant design and reduce capital costs, we expect these paybacks will improve for these plants to four to five years. Plug has been laser focused on building this network with 100% equity financing to make green hydrogen easy and economical. We believe, with the passage of the PTC and as the network continues to get built, we should be able to start back-leveraging plants and recycle capital similar to the solar and wind industry. Today solar and wind assets are financed with about 20% equity capital. Assuming a similar capital stack improvement for green hydrogen generation assets in the medium-term and increasing availability of project debt financing and/or tax equity, Plug is potentially in a position to get a four to five times multiplier on equity capital in order to execute on its green hydrogen generation buildout.
6
Electrolyzer Solutions Business:
Focused on Converting Substantial Backlog into Revenue
Plug’s electrolyzer backlog currently stands at 1.5GW, with a sales funnel of over $25B. This substantial sales funnel represents multiple end market applications with green ammonia as the largest applications at around 50%, followed by eMethanol and power-to-gas. We continue to make progress scaling up our electrolyzer manufacturing at our gigafactory, and we are on track to produce 60 to 100 MW of electrolyzer stacks in Q4 2022, with potential for manufacturing one hundred of our 1 MW stacks per month in 2023. Our stack manufacturing has gone up seven-fold in recent months compared to all nine months of 2022. This product offering will support our internal needs for green hydrogen plants and third-party sales.
Complementing our global scale of manufacturing, with the acquisition of Frames Group, we have further solidified our industry-leading position. We can provide turnkey solutions to our end customers in multiple different markets. Plug provides a framework for design, project management, and optimization of electrolyzer solutions for our customers in Green Ammonia, Methanol, Power-to-Gas, and mega green hydrogen projects.
7
Plug has a roadmap to increase the output per stack by up to 100%, while lowering precious metal content by about 70% in the next 5 years. This product roadmap coupled with the scale at the world’s first PEM gigafactory in Rochester NY, can allow Plug to further drive down the cost of green hydrogen.
Large-Scale Stationary Application: $350B TAM in the US
Plug has been focused on our large-scale stationary product that can be used in multiple applications including data center backup, 24/7 stationary power, and peaking solution. We are pleased to have validated a 3MW fuel cell system for stationary power, alongside datacenter customer Microsoft, and expect the delivery of the first unit for on-site testing in the first quarter of 2023. This is a landmark event as our large-scale stationary power solution can displace diesel powered generators and other fossil fuel applications. In 2023, we expect to ship 20-30 MW in this application, with anticipated shipments of more than 200 MW in 2024.
One of the biggest near-term applications is materializing in battery electric vehicle charging applications. This is evolving as an optimal solution to charge battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in major cities and locations where grid infrastructure cannot handle additional power demand. We are able to offer our customers with onsite stationary fuel cell systems and associated hydrogen storage infrastructure in order to support the charging of BEVs in these locations.
8
Europe: Building a Hydrogen Ecosystem and Accelerating Expansion
We are focused on growing our presence in Europe driven by our material handling, stationary power, electrolyzer, and hydrogen generation business. We expect substantial growth to materialize from our Hyvia JV for light commercial vehicle (LCV) in the mobility market. Our focus on building the hydrogen generation network will help continuously improve total cost of ownership for our customers.
As recently highlighted, we are expanding our material handling business, with some of the largest retailers in Europe, including Lidl and ASDA. Plug has occupied our new European service and logistics center in Duisburg, Germany at the world's largest inland port, with an initial 70,000 square feet to support anticipated business activity in the region.
We are in discussion with some of our existing pedestal customers, new pedestal customers, and other industrial companies to deploy stationary products in the European market. In order to support activities in these multiple fuel cell applications, we are also building a green hydrogen generation network in Europe.
Plug is building 35TPD of hydrogen production at the Port of Antwerp which will utilize 100 MW of Plug’s PEM electrolyzer. The site plans to produce up to 12,500 tons per year of liquid and gaseous green hydrogen by 2025. The Port of Antwerp is Europe’s second largest industrial port and plans to become a major hydrogen hub. We already have inbound interest for more than six times the capacity of the plant before having broken ground, highlighting the demand in the European market for green hydrogen and fuel cell applications to decarbonize transportation and heavy industry.
9
Given the volatility in the energy market, and high price of fossil fuels, Plug is focused on strategically driving down the cost of green hydrogen down. This includes working with our JV partner Acciona to build green hydrogen plants in Iberia. In addition, we are identifying locations in places such as Denmark and Sweden with low-cost renewable electricity to produce low-cost green hydrogen and transport to demand centers to support decarbonization in the European Union.
Our 50/50 JV with Renault, Hyvia, is confirmed as one of the projects selected in the Important Project of European Common Interest (IPCEI). Plug and Renault will manufacture and sell fuel cell-powered electric light commercial vehicles and supply hydrogen fuel and fueling stations to support the FCE-LCV market. Hyvia successfully tested the hydrogen powered Master Van and has begun their test pilot programs with multiple European partners (Chronopost, Equans, Engie, Orange, RATP DEV, Tribus, Maximator, Airbus, HHLA, Packeta). The JV targets 30% of the zero-emission LCV market in the EU, representing 100,000 Hyvia vehicles sold in 2030.
$2.1B Portfolio Sale Opportunity with Amazon Reinforces Strength of Plug’s Vertically Integrated Model
Plug’s green hydrogen supply and portfolio sale agreement with a pedestal client like Amazon validates our multi-year investment and strategic vertical integration. Plug green hydrogen can be used for applications outside of material handling, such as for fuel-cell electric vehicles, large scale stationary power, and deployment of electrolyzers at fulfillment centers.
10
Amazon and Plug have signed a deal for Plug to initially supply 10,950 tons per year (30TPD) of liquid green hydrogen to fuel Amazon operations. The supply agreement is from a single green hydrogen plant to support the buildout of a hydrogen ecosystem at multiple Amazon sites. We believe that our breadth of offerings will allow Plug to replicate similar portfolio sale and hydrogen supply agreements with other pedestal customers across the US and EU.
Building World-Class Global Manufacturing and Supply Chains
Plug continues to expand our world-class manufacturing and supply chains to support anticipated growth and drive costs down.
11
Gigafactory - Rochester, NY: We have started production and continue to ramp our Rochester gigafactory to an annual run rate of 2.5+ GW of total capacity and 1.5+ GW of electrolyzer capacity. The factory design and further system automation are focused on higher quality, lower cost, and increased throughput. We believe this gigafactory provides the blueprint for global manufacturing expansion as we evaluate future gigafactories to meet end-user demand.
VISTA Facility - Slingerlands, NY: Plug is nearing completion of our vista facility with equipment for our GenDrive and application assembly being placed in the factory. This facility will feature advanced automation allowing for increased scale and efficiency for the assembly of our entire fuel cell product line including GenDrive, Stationary, and ProGen. Vista will be >400,000 square feet, with the ability to expand to 1 million square feet to meet demand for our fuel cell products.

Q3 Financial Overview and Forward Guidance Recap
Summary of Third Quarter Financials:
Revenue was $188.6M in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $143.9M for the third quarter of 2021 including warrant charges. Revenue growth stemmed from the core material handling market, new products and markets, and recent acquisitions. Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 includes $8.6M in warrant charges versus $1.3M in the third quarter of 2021. We recently shared that our 2022 revenue could be potentially 5-10% below our prior previous target of $900-$925M given some larger projects potentially being completed in 2023 instead of 2022 due to timing and broader supply chain issues. We believe it is important to note that the midpoint of our updated projection still reflects potential growth of nearly 70% year over year. We want to remind you that this is not a demand issue; this is largely a function of delays due to supply chain and timing of some large projects.
12
Overall company gross margin of negative 24% decreased 3% sequentially and was down 2% year over year. Gross margin in the fuel cell systems, related infrastructure and equipment was 19% in the third quarter, flat sequentially. This line item now consists of a blended margin from both more mature fuel cell applications for the material handling business, as well as rapidly scaling new product lines including electrolyzers, on-road mobility, and stationary power. In addition, fuel margin remained under significant pressure due to increased hydrogen molecule cost associated with historically higher natural gas prices and continued supplier disruptions.
Financial Outlook:
We are reaffirming our recently issued 2023 revenue forecast of $1.4B, which represents substantial growth in our applications and energy / electrolyzer business. We expect continued margin expansion throughout 2023, driven by multiple factors with step change enhancement planned in our fuel business as we previously highlighted. We are also reaffirming our guidance for 2026 and 2030 revenue targets of $5B and $20B, and operating margin targets of 17% and 22% respectively. This positions Plug to deliver annual revenue growth of 50% through 2030, as we plan to execute on multiple business initiatives with unparalleled industry capabilities.
We expect revenue growth within our energy and electrolyzer business to be driven by continued buildout of our green hydrogen generation network, translating substantial book of business into revenue in our electrolyzer business, and continued growth in our hydrogen tankers/storage and liquefier systems. This further reinforces our vertically integrated business model and ability to provide customers with both the capital equipment as well as hydrogen fuel based on their needs and preference.
Revenue in our fuel cell application business should continue to grow both in our material handling as well as stationary and mobility markets. Material handling continues to grow at 30-40% CAGR with the addition of pedestal customers in both North America and Europe. In addition, Plug’s growing installed base also provides recurring revenue in this business. We expect a step change in the growth of our stationary business as we are looking at 20-30MW of shipments in 2023, increasing almost 10-fold in 2024 to more than 200MW of shipment.
13
*Targets/Projections
We expect margin expansion to continue in 2023 with a planned step change in our fuel business. As we continue to scale our equipment business, we forecast increasing gross margin leverage from volume and steps we are taking to ramp up capacity and supply chain. With continued focus on driving down installed fleet costs, we forecast improved service and PPA margin. The fuel business margin is forecasted to improve as we continue to bring hydrogen plants online. Furthermore, as revenue scales we should see substantial operating leverage in our model with OPEX going from 34% of sales in 2023, to low teens in 2026 and beyond.
Delivering on our growth objectives and margin expansion Remains Key Corporate Focus
Plug remains focused on building a global green hydrogen ecosystem and delivering on its growth objectives, margin expansion and path to profitability. We look forward to updating you all on our next call.
