Clairvest and the other shareholders will take a portion of their consideration in shares of Stem.

“We are very excited about AlsoEnergy’s new chapter with Stem, given their market position in the rapidly growing storage and digitization sectors,” said Robert Schaefer, Co-founder & CEO of AlsoEnergy. “With respect to our partnership with Clairvest, Ken Rotman, Angus Cole, and the Clairvest team provided unparalleled support to our company over the years and were true partners. Together, we navigated through opportunities and challenges collaboratively and achieved this fantastic outcome.”

“We are extremely pleased with the growth and evolution of AlsoEnergy over our investment period. AlsoEnergy grew to market leadership in the C&I segment and successfully entered the utility-scale segment to become the largest solar monitoring software company. This success was fueled by a passionate management team with a clear entrepreneurial vision,” remarked Angus Cole who leads Clairvest’s energy transition practice.

Ken Rotman, CEO & Managing Director of Clairvest commented that, “Our partnership with AlsoEnergy is an excellent example of Clairvest’s domain-focused approach to investing and emphasizes our mission to help build strategically significant businesses with our entrepreneur partners. It is our view that Stem and AlsoEnergy have a strategic fit that will enable both companies to accelerate their growth.”

The transaction will be funded by a combination of cash and common shares of Stem, providing potential further upside to Clairvest and other AlsoEnergy shareholders. Should the transaction close on anticipated terms, Clairvest will realize total sale proceeds of approximately US$350 million (CVG’s portion being US$108 million).

The sale is expected to have a positive impact on Clairvest’s book value per share of approximately $5 over the carrying value as at September 30, 2021, assuming the transaction closes on anticipated terms and not including any changes, positive or negative, to the carrying value of Clairvest’s other investments.

While all parties involved have a strong desire to complete the sale, there can be no guarantee that the transaction will be completed, or if it is completed, that it will close within the anticipated time period.

William Blair acted as financial advisor to AlsoEnergy in this transaction. Goodmans LLP acted as legal advisor to AlsoEnergy.

Stem Announces Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
November 09 2021 - 04:26PM


Company achieves record revenue, gross margin, backlog, pipeline and AUM

Continued expansion of Athena® platform drives strong momentum into 2022

Stem, Inc. ("Stem" or the "Company") (NYSE: STEM), a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven energy storage services, announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial and Operating Highlights

Financial Highlights

Record revenues of $39.8 million, up from $9.2 million (+334%) in the same quarter last year
Record Gross Margin (GAAP) of 8% versus (19)% in the same quarter last year
Non-GAAP Gross Margin of 15% versus 8% in the same quarter last year
Net Income of $115.6 million versus Net Loss of $(18.8) million in the same quarter last year. Net Income in the quarter was driven primarily by a non-cash revaluation of Public Warrants. All outstanding Public Warrants were exercised or redeemed during the quarter
Adjusted EBITDA of $(7.2) million versus $(7.9) million in the same quarter last year
Ended the third quarter of 2021 with $576 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and zero debt

Operating Highlights

Record 12-month Pipeline of $2.4 billion, up from $1.7 billion (+41%) at the end of the second quarter
Record Bookings of $104 million, up from $37 million (+183%) in the same quarter last year
Record Contracted Backlog of $312 million, up from $250 million (+25%) at the end of the second quarter

John Carrington, Chief Executive Officer of Stem, commented, “We are excited to report a record quarter of commercial and operational execution reflected in revenues, gross margin, backlog, pipeline and AUM this quarter. Customers increasingly demand our smart energy solutions enabled by Athena®, our industry-leading software platform. These financial and operating results include a 25% sequential increase in contracted backlog, driven by a record $104 million in bookings, and a 41% sequential increase in pipeline. Revenue was once again at the high end of our guidance range, and we remain on track to meet our full-year 2021 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA targets. We have secured our anticipated supply requirements through Q3 2022 and are strategically moving to lock in the anticipated hardware deliveries for the full year 2022 to meet contracted customer demand. Combined with a rapidly expanding market, our differentiated offering, and strong balance sheet, we believe our commercial momentum gives us excellent visibility into multi-year growth.”

....


The Company will continue to diversify its supply chain, adopt alternative technologies, and deploy its balance sheet to meet the expected significant growth in customer demand. COVID-19 continues to impact the supply chain and the Company is actively working to mitigate any continued effects of the pandemic on its business and results of operations.

Business Highlights

On October 5, 2021, Stem announced two advanced application additions to Athena: (1) Athena SupervisorTM, which provides real-time visibility into how Athena manages and monetizes energy assets, and (2) Athena BidderTM, which automates asset strategies to maximize wholesale market revenues. These applications enable the Company’s project developer customers to meet resource adequacy requirements, optimize wholesale market revenue, and participate in wholesale energy markets. Stem also highlighted three recent customer projects in the Independent System Operator of New England (ISO-NE) market that can co-optimize seven value streams: day-ahead markets, real-time energy markets, frequency regulation, capacity market, coincident peak reduction, solar shifting incentives, and solar ITC earnings.

On September 15, 2021, Stem announced the development of South America’s first virtual power plant (VPP) with Copec, one of the largest energy companies in Central and South America, as well as the completion of their first smart energy storage system in Chile. The companies will be working together with Chilquinta Energía S.A., a local energy supply service company, to establish the first VPP, a network of decentralized BTM power generating sites. For this project, Stem’s Athena has been customized to integrate utility and grid market data points that optimize energy storage assets in the Chilean market. This partnership also involves future collaboration to bring smart energy storage alongside mutual business activities in electric vehicle charging infrastructures and solar project developments.

On August 30, 2021, Stem announced a pilot using Athena to operate a 350 kW / 800 kWh battery system at Penske's heavy-duty truck charging positions in Ontario, California. Athena predicts when the charging site's electricity demand will spike and uses the supplemental stored energy via on-site batteries at the optimal time to drive off-peak electricity savings and minimize utility peak demand charges. Since starting the pilot, smart energy storage has driven a 40% decrease in Penske's site peak energy consumption. Stem collaborated with Penske and its other suppliers in project execution, including optimizing energy tariffs, utilizing energy storage to secure funds from California Air Quality Resources (CARB) as well as securing incentives from California's Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP).

On August 20, 2021, Stem announced the redemption of all 12.8 million public warrants outstanding. Holders exercised 12.6 million warrants for a purchase price of $11.50 per whole share, generating proceeds to Stem of approximately $145 million. The Company redeemed all remaining outstanding public warrants. The public warrants have been delisted from the New York Stock Exchange, and there are no public warrants left outstanding.

Outlook

The Company reaffirms its guidance of full-year 2021 revenue of $147 million and full-year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA of $(25) million. Consistent with prior guidance, the Company reaffirms that it expects to recognize 50-60% of total 2021 revenue in Q4. The Company expects to provide 2022 guidance in its fourth quarter/full year 2021 earnings call in mid-to-late February 2022.

[realfast95]

Stem (ticker: STEM) reported $39.8 million in sales and gross profits of $5.8 million for the quarter. Wall Street was looking for about $36 million in sales and $3.6 million in gross profit.

The company affirmed its full-year sales guidance of $147 million. That implies fourth-quarter sales of about $72 million. Wall Street is at about $75 million. Still, total sales of $112 million in the second half of 2021 is about $2 million more than analysts have forecast.

A sales and earnings "beat" is good news. The company reported a few other noteworthy items beyond top- and bottom-line figures. The company's pipeline of new business hit $2.4 billion, up 41% from the $1.7 billion reported at the of the second quarter. Pipeline isn't an official accounting metric. It's more like sales leads, but is an indication of the demand for backup battery applications.

Stem's customers are utility and commercial businesses looking to either make renewable-power-generation assets to store energy generated by sunlight or wind, or looking to cut their electricity bill by going to backup power when prices are high. Stem also sells the software required to managed the power systems.

Stem customers now have installed about 1.4 gigawatt hours of battery storage, up from 1 gigawatt hour a year ago. The bigger the installed base, the more software and software upgrades Stem can sell.

Things looks solid. But cash burn was a little larger than investors might have hoped for. Stem burned through roughly $28 million in the quarter. The company burned through about $50 million in the first half of 2021.

"That's driven by -- shocker -- supply-chain issues," CEO John Carrington tells Barron's. But spending more was a choice. Carrington put a little more cash to work, locking up things like battery supply to help avoid price inflation. Stem has contracted its battery needs through the third quarter of next year and is working no on the fourth quarter of 2022.

Battery prices are going up, but down the road, Carrington doesn't see the need to invest in battery capacity. There will be enough batteries to be had, according to the CEO. He is focused on higher-margin software sales and less interested in making an extra margin on batteries.

Most of the company's roughly $600 million in cash on the balance sheet is earmarked for things such as M&A instead of building manufacturing capacity.

Barron's recently wrote positively about Stem, believing its software, combined with rising demand for stationary backup power applications, would drive its stock price higher. Since the article appeared in August, as of Tuesday's closing price, Stem stock is down about 2%. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average are up about 5% and 3% respectively over the same span.

Stem, Inc. Highlights Significant Milestones and New Applications for Athena® Software in Wholesale Energy Markets
October 05 2021 - 08:30AM

Athena now supporting seven value streams for customers in ISO-New England

Advanced reporting and bidding software offerings launched for CAISO, ERCOT, and PJM wholesale energy markets

Stem, Inc. (“Stem” or “the Company”) (NYSE: STEM), a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven energy storage services, announced today two advanced application additions to its Athena® smart energy software, enabling its project developer customers to generate more revenue in wholesale energy markets for both front of meter (FTM) and behind the meter (BTM) storage projects. Included in the enhanced offering is Athena SupervisorTM, which provides real-time visibility into how Athena manages and monetizes energy assets, and Athena BidderTM, Stem’s proprietary market operations engine that automates asset strategies to maximize wholesale market revenues.

Stem Highlights Three Recent Milestones with Athena® in ISO-NE

Important milestones achieved by Stem during three recent customer projects in Independent System Operator New England (ISO-NE) include:

For the first time, Athena Bidder automated both day-ahead and real-time energy market participation in ISO-NE, along with capacity supply and frequency regulation for a project in Haverhill, Mass. Athena uses the most recent forecasts to automatically optimize the battery operations and evaluate what value stream to participate in, while respecting the point of interconnection (POI) limit and incentive tax credit (ITC) constraint at every trading interval.
In addition, Athena Bidder recently began to forecast market prices and solar generation, while continuously delivering market-ready price and quantity bids in the ISO-NE market for a project in Halifax, Mass.
Separately, Stem’s first direct current-coupled system, deployed earlier this year in Leicester, Mass., is expected to begin generating revenue via the state’s ISO-NE, Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART), and Clean Peak Energy Portfolio Standard programs.

Across these projects, Stem is enabling its project developer customers to co-optimize seven value streams: day-ahead markets, real-time energy markets, frequency regulation, capacity market, coincident peak reduction, solar shifting incentives, and solar ITC earnings.

With Stem’s extended project developer support services and Athena’s ability to deliver multiple value streams, Stem has grown rapidly in the ISO-NE market since it expanded market participation activities for FTM storage in 2020. As of mid-2021, Stem’s Athena-controlled systems comprised 52% of Massachusetts and 19% of ISO-NE’s operational continuous storage facilities active in the wholesale energy, ancillary services, and forward capacity markets. Athena continues to deliver an average of up to 30% internal rate of return (IRR) for its users.

Stem Expands Value in FTM Wholesale Energy Markets with Offerings for CAISO, ERCOT and PJM

Stem’s Athena is used by project developers and asset owners to optimize power generation and market participation revenues of both standalone energy storage and hybrid solar plus storage power plants. Athena supports merchant projects capturing nodal pricing swings. Now, the recent updates to Athena Bidder provide enhanced capabilities for customers to meet resource adequacy requirements, optimize wholesale market revenue, and participate in wholesale energy markets such as California Independent System Operator (CAISO), Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), and Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland (PJM). This enhances customers’ IRR by maximizing revenues through optimized bidding strategies, automated program management, and systematized compliance, while enhancing the storage lifecycle value. Additionally, Athena is uniquely capable of providing short-term forecasts for day-ahead and real-time bidding, as well as leveraging long-term market price projections to model FTM systems for financing and bankability.

“As a global leader in AI-driven energy storage, Stem continues to develop and enhance Athena’s smart energy storage capabilities to secure further market value for new and existing customers and diversify our geographic footprint into new markets,” said John Carrington, Chief Executive Officer at Stem. “These enhancements to Athena’s applications for wholesale energy market participation extend the value and benefits offered to our partners. With our unparalleled service, we help them navigate complicated programs and incentives and generate the best return on their investments.”

September 15 2021 - 08:30AM

Manufacturing facility energy storage system now operating on Stem’s Athena® software

Project part of joint venture with Copec

Stem, Inc. (“Stem” or “the Company”) (NYSE: STEM), a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven energy storage services, and Copec, one of the largest energy companies in Central and South America, today announced the development of South America’s first virtual power plant (VPP) as well as the completion of their first smart energy storage system in Chile. The companies will be working together with Chilquinta Energía S.A. (“Chilquinta”), a local energy supply service company.

In July 2020, Stem and Copec announced a partnership to bring Stem’s intelligent storage solutions to South America, marking the Company’s entrance into this region. The partnership recently completed its first project, a smart energy storage solution for a lubricant manufacturing plant owned by Copec in the Valparaíso Region of Chile.

In addition, Stem and Copec have partnered with Chilquinta to establish the first VPP, a network of decentralized behind-the-meter (BTM) power generating sites, in all of South America. For this project, Stem’s Athena® smart energy storage software has been customized to integrate utility and grid market data points that optimize energy storage assets in the Chilean market. This partnership also involves future collaboration to bring smart energy storage alongside mutual business activities in electric vehicle charging infrastructures and solar project developments.

Stem’s Athena allows this network of commercial and industrial (C&I) customer sites to deliver both resilience and backup power solutions by automatically aggregating and responding to spikes in electricity use and drawing on stored power to reduce electricity costs for customers. Athena also ensures continuous power and consistent operations to serve the utility’s real-time needs, demonstrating the ability to dispatch all the sites when power is needed on the grid. Stem combines this electricity usage and deployment information with data from renewable generation forecasting and monitoring so the utility can effortlessly call upon the stored electricity for added stability during peak demand times. Athena is continuously collecting electricity usage data, creating a virtuous cycle of learning and deep insights to better inform its AI-driven algorithm.

“The energy storage market in South America represents a significant growth opportunity for Stem and our partner Copec,” said John Carrington, Chief Executive Officer at Stem. “We are proud to have completed our first project under this partnership – positioning Copec as a smart grid participant while driving energy cost reduction and enhancing the sustainability profile of their manufacturing facilities. At the same time, our VPP is set to demonstrate tremendous value to utilities in South America that can leverage distributed energy storage systems to stabilize the grid, similar to what Stem’s Athena® smart energy storage software is doing in other regions today. I am excited about our future in South America and the benefits we will bring to businesses, utilities, and energy customers.”

“Copec is focused on driving innovation and sustainability across the energy and mobility segments,” added Mauricio de la Torre, New Energies Leader at Copec. “Through our partnership with Stem, we have begun to demonstrate the investment returns of smart energy storage and the tremendous potential for Copec to help Chile meet its ambitious climate goals.”

Chile is among the most favorable markets for solar energy with one of the highest solar irradiances and potential for solar generation in the world. Chile has announced in recent years that it will not build new coal-fired power plants and will align with the National Energy Policy 2050, an ambitious set of climate change and renewable energy efficiency goals, for which Chile targets 70% renewable energy electricity by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. After hosting the UN Climate Change Conference in 2019, the country leads South America in sustainability strategies. Chile is projected to have a combined opportunity for energy storage nearing 1 GWh over the next decade, based on market estimates from Copec and its subsidiary, Terpel.

Penske Truck Leasing Pilots Stem Inc.'s Athena® Software to Support EV Charging
August 30 2021 - 12:05PM

READING, Pa., Aug. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Penske Truck Leasing continues to expand its fleet electrification efforts including the evaluation of important related technologies to support the emerging charging needs of battery electric trucks. Since April 2021, Penske has worked with Stem, Inc., a global leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven energy storage services, to pilot its Athena® smart energy storage software and operate an advanced battery storage system. The pilot project included a 350 kilowatt (kW)/800 kilowatt hour (kWh) battery system powered by Stem's Athena at Penske's heavy-duty truck charging positions in Ontario, California.

"We collaborated with Stem and other suppliers in designing and implementing the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure," said Sean Yentsch, vice president facilities at Penske. "We then used Stem's Athena® smart energy software to optimize the electricity requirements associated with charging commercial electric trucks. We've been pleased with the initial results, and we continue to evaluate expanding the use of this AI-driven energy storage system as new charging positions equipped with supplemental battery storage are established."

Stem's Athena predicts when the charging site's electricity demand will spike and uses the supplemental stored energy via on-site batteries at the optimal time to drive off-peak electricity savings and minimize utility peak demand charges. Since starting the pilot, smart energy storage has driven a 40% decrease in Penske's site peak energy consumption.

Stem collaborated with Penske and its other suppliers in project execution, including optimizing energy tariffs, utilizing energy storage to secure funds from California Air Quality Resources (CARB) as well as securing incentives from California's Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP).

John Carrington, chief executive officer of Stem, commented, "The growth in demand for electric vehicles and fleet charging solutions will require smart energy storage to help optimize energy usage, support the grid, and help companies go electric. Our Athena® software continues to stand out as a premier solution offering, bringing together the many critical components in driving customer savings and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. We are proud of our delivered AI-driven services to Penske, a leader in fleet electrification initiatives. The superior results of this EV project prove the unique role energy storage can play as a system integrator and the value of having a scalable, AI-powered services platform.

"For businesses, smart charging with energy storage can help to manage costs and electrical loads, while helping future-proof facilities against expensive upgrades," added Carrington. "For utilities, smart energy storage can serve as a cost-effective solution for meeting the significant charging loads associated with fleet electrification."
