Restatement and Revision of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
We have restated herein our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and revised herein our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. We have also restated and revised related amounts within the accompanying footnotes to the consolidated financial statements to conform to the corrected amounts in the financial statements.
Restatement Background
On February 11, 2020, our management, in consultation with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, determined that Bloom's previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, as well as financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 should no longer be relied upon due to misstatements related to our Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements and we would restate such financial statements to make the necessary accounting corrections. The revenue for the Managed Services Agreements and similar transactions will now be recognized over the duration of the contract instead of upfront. In addition, management determined that the impact of these misstatements to periods prior to the three months ended June 30, 2018 was not material to warrant restatement of reported figures, however, our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the relevant unaudited selected quarterly financial data for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 would be revised to correct these misstatements. The restatement also includes corrections for additional identified immaterial misstatements in certain of the impacted periods.
The misstatements are described in greater detail below.
Description of Misstatements
Under our Managed Services program, we sell our equipment to a bank financing party under a sale-leaseback transaction, which pays us for the Energy Server and takes title to the Energy Server. We then enter into a service contract with an end customer, who pays the bank a fixed, monthly fee for its use of the Energy Server and pays us for our maintenance and operation of the Energy Server.
The majority of these Managed Services Agreements and similar transactions were originally recorded as sales, subject to an operating lease, in which revenues and associated costs were recognized at the time of installation and acceptance of the Bloom Energy Server at the customer site.
In December 2019, in the course of reviewing a Managed Services transaction that closed on November 27, 2019, an issue was identified related to the accounting for our Managed Services transactions. The issue primarily related to whether the terms of our Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, including the events of default provisions, satisfied the requirements for sales under the revenue accounting standards. Subsequently, it was determined that the previous accounting for the Managed Services Agreements and similar transactions was misstated, as the Managed Services Agreements and similar transactions should have been accounted for as financing transactions under lease accounting standards.
The impact of the correction of the misstatement is to recognize amounts received from the bank financing party as a financing obligations, and the Energy Server is recorded within property, plant and equipment, net on our consolidated balance sheets. We recognize revenue for the electricity generated by the systems, based on payments received by the bank from the customer, and the corresponding financing obligations to the bank is also amortized as these payments are received by the bank from the customer, with interest thereon being calculated on an effective interest rate basis. Depreciation expense is also recognized over the estimated useful life of the Energy Server.
In addition, it was determined that stock-based compensation costs relating to manufacturing employees that were previously expensed as incurred incorrectly, should have been capitalized as a component of Energy Server manufacturing costs to inventory, deferred cost of revenues, construction-in-progress and property, plant and equipment in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14. These costs will now be expensed on consumption of the related inventory and over the economic useful life of the property, plant and equipment, as applicable.
Also, as part of a review of historical revenue agreements as a result of the above errors, it was noted that the Company failed to identify embedded derivatives in certain revenue agreements for an escalator price protection (“EPP”) feature given to our customers. As a result, the Company has recorded a derivative liability, with an offset to revenue, to account for the fair value of this feature at inception and will record the liability at its then fair value at each period end with any changes in fair value recognized in other income (expense).
Finally, there were certain other immaterial misstatements identified or which had been previously identified which are also being corrected in connection with the restatement and/or revision of previously issued financial statements.
Description of Restatement and Revision Reconciliation Tables
In the following tables, we have presented a reconciliation of our consolidated balance sheets, statement of operations and cash flows from our prior periods as previously reported to the restated and revised amounts as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and the Consolidated Statements of Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest, Stockholders' Deficit and Noncontrolling Interest for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 have been restated and revised, respectively, for the restatement and revision impacts to Net Loss and, for the latter statements, for the correction of an uncorrected misstatement within Additional Paid-In Capital for $0.8 million in 2018. See the statement of operations reconciliation tables below for additional information on the restatement and revision impacts to Net Loss. For the misstatements arising in periods commencing prior to 2017, the cumulative impact of all periods prior to January 1, 2017 has been reflected as an adjustment to opening accumulated deficit as of that date in the Consolidated Statements of Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest, Stockholders’ Deficit and Noncontrolling Interest.

1 Accounts receivable — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements, for which the amount recorded to accounts receivable represents amounts invoiced for capacity billings to end customers which have not yet been collected by the financing entity as of the period end.
2 Inventories — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for inventory, including net capitalization of stock-based compensation cost of $8.1 million, reclassification of inventories of $6.0 million held for shipments to customers under the Managed Services Program and similar arrangements to construction in progress within property, plant and equipment, net and an increase to inventory to correct a misstatement related to an in-transit shipment of $0.7 million.
3 Deferred cost of revenue, current and non-current — The correction of these misstatements resulted from reclassifying deferred cost of revenue to property, plant and equipment, net for the leased Energy Servers under the Managed Services Agreements and similar sale-leaseback arrangements of $19.6 million current and $102.7 million non-current, net capitalization of stock-based compensation costs of $2.2 million into current deferred cost of revenue together with the correction of an immaterial misstatements identified to reduce deferred cost of revenue of $0.9 million.
4 Prepaid expenses and other current assets — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements where prepaid property tax and insurance payments are now classified within prepaid expenses, rather than offset against deferred revenue.
5 Property, plant and equipment, net — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services transactions and similar arrangements, whereby product and install cost of revenues are now recorded as property, plant and equipment, net in the cases where the risks of ownership have not completely transferred to the financing party of $232.1 million. This includes a net capitalization of stock-based compensation cost for these assets of $3.2 million.
6 Other long-term assets — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements whereby the timing difference of capacity billings to end customers and the payments received from the financing entity is recorded within long term receivables and prepaid property tax and insurance payments are now classified within other long-term assets, rather than offset against long-term deferred revenue.
7 Accrued warranty — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for accrued warranty which is now recorded on an as-incurred basis for our Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, reducing accrued warranty by $0.5 million and the change of accounting for the grid pricing escalation guarantees we provided in some of our sales arrangements, which are now recorded as derivative liabilities, reducing accrued warranty by $0.7 million.
8 Accrued expense and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements, for which historical accrued liabilities recorded at inception of the agreements, as well as subsequent reductions of those liabilities, were reversed, and an increase to accrued liabilities to correct a misstatement related to an in-transit inventory shipment of $0.7 million.
9 Financing obligations, current and non-current — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, whereby instead of recognizing the upfront proceeds received from the bank as revenue, the proceeds received are classified as financing obligations.
10 Deferred revenue and customer deposits, current and non-current — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for the recognition of product and installation revenue from upfront or ratable recognition to recognition of the capacity payments received from the end customer as power is generated by the Energy Servers as electricity revenue.
11 Derivative liabilities — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for embedded derivatives related to grid pricing escalation guarantees we provided in some of our sales arrangements. These are now recorded as derivative liabilities and were previously treated as an accrued liability.
12 APIC — Relates to the correction of an unadjusted misstatement in the valuation of our 6% Notes derivative, resulting in a credit to additional paid-in capital and additional expense of $0.8 million.

a Revenue impacted by Managed Services restatements — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change from upfront recognition of product and installation revenue to recognition of the capacity payments received from the end customer as power is generated by the Energy Servers as electricity revenue over the term of our Managed Services Agreements and similar sale-leaseback arrangements, which also impacted our service revenue allocation.
b Service cost of revenue impacted by grid pricing escalation guarantees — The correction of these misstatements resulted in a decrease in service cost of revenue of $0.5 million.
c Cost of revenue impacted by Managed Services restatements — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of from upfront recognition of product and installation cost of revenue to recognition of the depreciation expense on the capitalized Energy Servers over their useful life of 21 years for our Managed Services Agreements and similar sale-leaseback transactions, resulting in a decrease in product cost of revenue of $75.0 million and installation cost of revenue of $25.1 million, offset by an increase in electricity cost of revenue of $13.3 million, together with the correction of another immaterial misstatements identified to record installation cost of revenue of$0.9 million.
d Cost of revenue impacted by stock-based compensation allocation — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the capitalization of stock-based compensation costs, with a net benefit to product cost of revenue of $18.3 million and an increase in service cost of revenue of $6.5 million, due to the expensing of stock-based compensation related to field replacement units.
e Sales and marketing — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for sales commission expense on an as earned basis, to accounting for the expense over the term of our Managed Services Agreements and similar sale-leaseback arrangements.
f Interest expense — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for sales that should have been accounted for as financing transactions, in which the upfront consideration received from the financing party is accounted for as a financing obligations and interest expense is recognized over the term of the Managed Services Agreement using the effective interest method.
g Gain (loss) on revaluation of warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for the grid pricing escalation guarantees we provided in some of our sales arrangements which is now recorded as a derivative liability that needs to be fair valued each period end. The liability has reduced in value by $0.2 million in 2018, resulting in a credit to this line item. In addition, we corrected a misstatement in the valuation of our 6% Notes derivative, resulting in $0.8 million of additional expense in the period.

b Service revenue and service cost of revenue impacted by grid pricing escalation guarantees — The correction of these misstatements resulted in a decrease in service cost of revenue of $0.3 million and a decrease of service revenue of $3.1 million.
c Cost of revenue impacted by Managed Services restatements — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change from upfront recognition of product and installation cost of revenue to recognition of the depreciation expense on the capitalized Energy Servers over their useful life of 21 years for our Managed Services Agreements and similar sale-leaseback transactions, resulting in product cost of revenue of $15.2 million, installation cost of revenue of $5.0 million and electricity cost of revenue of $9.7 million.
d Cost of revenue impacted by stock-based compensation allocation — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the capitalization of stock-based compensation costs, with a net benefit to product cost of revenue of $3.2 million and an increase in service cost of revenue of $1.8 million due to the expensing of stock-based compensation related to field replacement units.
e Sales and marketing and general and administrative — The correction of these misstatements primarily resulted from the change of accounting for sales commission expense on an as earned basis, to accounting for the expense over the term of our Managed Services Agreements and similar sale-leaseback arrangements.
f Interest expense — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for sales that should have been accounted for as financing transactions, in which the upfront consideration received from the financing party is accounted for as a financing obligations and interest expense is recognized over the term of the Managed Services Agreement using the effective interest method.
g Gain (loss) on revaluation of warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives —The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for the grid pricing escalation guarantees we provided in some of our sales arrangements which is now recorded as a derivative liability that needs to be fair valued each period end. The liability has increased in value by $0.3 million resulting in a loss on revaluation of embedded derivatives.

A Depreciation and amortization — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Energy Servers under the Managed Services Program and similar arrangements that would have been product and install cost of revenue, but are now recorded as property, plant and equipment, and depreciated over their useful lives of 21 years.
B Revaluation of derivative contracts — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for the grid pricing escalation guarantees we provided in some of our sales arrangements. These commitments were previously treated as a contingent liability and recorded as an accrued liability. We now consider the commitments a derivative liability, with the initial value recorded as a reduction in product revenue and then any changes in the value adjusted through other expense, net each period thereafter, resulting in a credit of $0.2 million, with $0.8 million of additional expense recorded to correct a misstatement in the valuation of our 6% Notes derivative.
C Stock-based compensation — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for stock-based compensation, including net capitalization of stock-based compensation cost into inventory of $10.3 million. The correction of this misstatement also resulted in the capitalization of $1.5 million of stock-based compensation costs related to assets, under the Managed Services Program now recorded as construction in progress within property, plant and equipment, net.
D Accounts receivable — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements where the timing difference of capacity billings to end customers and the payments received from the financing entity is recorded within accounts receivable.
E Inventories — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for inventories, held for shipments planned to customers under the Managed Services Program and other similar arrangements now accounted for as construction in progress within property, plant and equipment, net.
F Deferred cost of revenue, current and non-current — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the cumulative net change of accounting moving deferred cost of revenue to property, plant and equipment, net for the leased Energy Servers under the Managed Services Agreements and similar sale-leaseback arrangements of $71.9 million, and the net capitalization of stock-based compensation costs of $2.2 million in current deferred cost of revenue.
G Prepaid expenses and other current assets — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements where prepaid property tax and insurance payments are now classified within prepaid expenses, rather than offset against deferred revenue.
H Other long-term assets — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, including the timing difference of capacity billings to end customers of $0.1 million, payments received from the financing entity now recorded within long term receivables of $1.9 million, and commission payments now classified within long term commission expenses of $0.1 million.
I Accrued warranty — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for accrued warranty which is now recorded on an as-incurred basis on our Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements. The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for the grid pricing escalation guarantees we've provided in some of our sales arrangements. These commitments were previously treated as a contingent liability that was considered remote and therefore, no accrual was made. We now consider $0.3 million accrual has made, with the initial value of treated as a reduction in product revenue and then any changes in the value adjusted through other expense, net each period thereafter.
J Accrued expense and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements where instead of recognizing the bank financing as revenue, the bank financing loan proceeds received and due are classified as lease loan liability.
K Deferred revenue and customer deposits, current and non-current — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for the recognition of product and installation revenue from upfront or ratable recognition to the recognition of the capacity payments received from the end customer as power is generated by the Energy Servers as electricity revenue.
L Other long-term liabilities — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements where instead of recognizing the bank financing as revenue, the bank financing loan proceeds received and due beyond the next twelve months are classified as lease loan liability.
M Purchase of property, plant and equipment — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements, whereby costs previously recognized as product and install costs of goods sold are now recorded as property, plant and equipment, net in the cases where the risks of ownership have not completely transferred to the financing party.
N Proceeds and repayments from financing obligations — The correction of these misstatements resulted from the change of accounting for Managed Services Agreements and similar arrangements where instead of recognizing the upfront proceeds received from the bank as revenue, the bank proceeds received and due are classified as proceeds from financing obligations and the capacity payments received from the end customer are classified as repayment of financing obligations and interest paid.
