Nature 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 2021, 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, we had $282.4 million of total outstanding recourse debt as of March 31, 2023, $269.4 million of which was classified as long-term debt. Our scheduled recourse debt repayments commenced in June 2022.

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 13,491,701 shares of Series B redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “Series B RCPS”) for cash proceeds of $311.0 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 $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 stock. The Loan Agreement has a maturity of five years and bears an interest rate of 4.6%. The proceeds of the loan may be used by us for working capital and general corporate purpose needs.

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 and long-lived assets were attributable to operations in the United States for all periods presented. In addition to shipments in the US, we also ship our Energy Servers to other countries, primarily to the Republic of Korea, Japan and India (collectively, the “Asia Pacific region”). In the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, total revenue in the Asia Pacific region was 5% and 65%, respectively, of our total revenue.

Credit Risk - At March 31, 2023, two customers accounted for approximately 70% and 18% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2022, one customer represented approximately 75% of accounts receivable. To date, we have not experienced any credit losses.

Customer Risk - During the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenue from two customers accounted for approximately 41% and 25% of our total revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, two customers each represented approximately 32% of our total revenue.
