Third Quarter Highlights

•Record acceptances of 353 systems in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 12.4% versus the third quarter of 2020.

•Revenue of $207.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 3.5% compared to revenue of $200.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. Revenue up 11.4% excluding a $14.2 million prior year one-time revenue benefit that did not repeat.

•On October 25, 2021, Bloom Energy and SK ecoplant announced an expansion of their strategic partnership to accelerate hydrogen commercialization.

Commenting on the third quarter, KR Sridhar, founder, chairman, and CEO of Bloom Energy said, “We are excited about our new and enhanced strategic partnership with SK ecoplant, which further validates our technology. It also provides real revenue for the long term and an equity investment in the near term that will enable us to accelerate our growth in our current products and hydrogen electrolyzers around the world. As we look at the challenges of sustainability, resiliency, and cost predictability that our customers face, we are confident that these are not ‘either / or’ choices. They are “and” propositions, which we are best positioned to solve with our fuel cell technology platform.”

Greg Cameron, executive vice president and CFO of Bloom Energy added, “Bloom Energy is executing well in a challenging environment. We achieved record third quarter acceptances, expanded our hydrogen product offering and are continuing to build our manufacturing capacity. Our recently announced expansion of the SK ecoplant partnership provides the capability to accelerate investment in our expanding platform.”

Acceptances

We use acceptances as a key operating metric to measure the volume of our completed Energy Server installation activity from period to period. Acceptance typically occurs upon transfer of control to our customers, which depending on the contract terms is when the system is shipped and delivered to our customers, when the system is shipped and delivered and is physically ready for startup and commissioning, or when the system is shipped and delivered and is turned on and producing power.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures versus their nearest GAAP equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Bloom urges you to review the reconciliations of its non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. With respect to Bloom’s expectations regarding its 2021 Outlook, Bloom is not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin measures to the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts.

Exhibit 99.1

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures (preliminary & unaudited) (in thousands)

Gross Profit and Gross Margin to Gross Profit Excluding Stock-Based Compensation and Gross Margin Excluding Stock-Based Compensation

Gross profit and gross margin excluding stock-based compensation (SBC) are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to gross profit or gross margin, as determined under GAAP. These measures remove the impact of stock-based compensation. We believe that gross profit and gross margin excluding stock-based compensation supplement the GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period. A reconciliation of gross profit and gross margin excluding stock-based compensation to gross profit and gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, and the computation of gross margin excluding stock-based compensation are as follows:

	Q321	Q221	Q320
Revenue	207,228	228,470	200,305
Gross profit	36,883	37,344	55,987
Gross margin %	17.8%	16.3%	28.0%
Stock-based compensation - cost of revenue	2,945	3,804	3,568
Gross profit excluding SBC	39,828	41,148	59,555
Gross margin excluding SBC %	19.2%	18.0%	29.7%

Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses to Cost of Revenue and Operating Expenses Excluding Stock-Based Compensation

Cost of revenue and operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation are a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to cost of revenue and operating expenses, as determined under GAAP. This measure removes the impact of stock-based compensation. We believe that cost of revenue and operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation supplements the GAAP measure and enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period. A reconciliation of cost of revenue and operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation to cost of revenue and operating expenses, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, are as follows:

Operating Loss to Operating Income (Loss) Excluding Stock-Based Compensation

Operating loss excluding stock-based compensation is a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to operating loss, as determined under GAAP. This measure removes the impact of stock-based compensation. We believe that operating income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation supplements the GAAP measure and enables us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period.

Net Loss to Adjusted Net Loss and Computation of Adjusted Net Loss per Share (EPS)

Adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net loss and net loss per share, as determined under GAAP. These measures remove the impact of the non-controlling interests associated with our legacy PPA entities, the revaluation of derivatives, fair market value adjustment for the PPA derivatives, and stock-based compensation, all of which are non-cash charges. We believe that adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share supplement GAAP measures and enable us to more effectively evaluate our performance period-over-period. A reconciliation of adjusted net loss to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted net loss per share are as follows:

Exhibit 99.1

Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered an alternative to operating loss or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense, non-controlling interest, revaluations, stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense. We use Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of our business, excluding specifically identified items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is as follows:

	Q321	Q221	Q320
Net loss to Common Stockholders	(52,370)	(53,863)	(11,954)
Loss on extinguishment of debt	—	—	(1,220)
Loss for non-controlling interests1	(4,292)	(4,558)	(5,922)
Loss (gain) on derivatives liabilities2	184	942	(1,505)
Loss (gain) on the fair value adjustments for certain PPA derivatives3	(125)	(735)	(726)
