Heliogen, Inc. (“Heliogen”) (NYSE: HLGN), a leading provider of AI-enabled concentrated solar energy technology, today provided its second quarter 2022 financial and operational results and reaffirmed its previously announced guidance for 2022.

Recent Highlights
- Entered into a letter of intent with Dimensional Energy for the production of sustainable aviation fuel

Executive Commentary
“During the second quarter, Heliogen continued its steady progress toward achieving our vision of producing clean solar thermal energy for heavy industry through use of our groundbreaking, AI-enabled concentrated solar thermal energy technology,” said Bill Gross, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Heliogen. “By signing additional customer agreements, expanding relationships with supply chain partners, and ramping up our manufacturing facilities, Heliogen is positioning itself to power the transition of global heavy industry to clean, renewable sources of heat, power and green hydrogen. We remain on track to meet our guidance for 2022.
“In addition to the exciting announcements we have made over the last several months, Heliogen recently completed the installation of our fourth generation heliostats at our Lancaster, California demonstration facility. These new heliostats are designed to be manufactured, installed and maintained more efficiently, without sacrificing performance or reliability. This is one example of our ability to iterate and innovate rapidly to reduce our cost structure and improve our margins. I am also pleased with the progress we have made at our Long Beach manufacturing facility, where we are getting ready to begin high-volume automated heliostat manufacturing during the early part of the fourth quarter of 2022.”
“In sum, Heliogen is progressing on all fronts toward the goals we set for 2022, and I am incredibly proud of the entire team for their efforts which have put us in this position.”
Letter of Intent with Dimensional Energy
Heliogen and Dimensional Energy, a sustainable fuels company, recently entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) to jointly produce sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”) at Heliogen’s concentrated solar thermal demonstration facility in Lancaster, California. This first-of-its-kind collaboration aims to create a reserve of jet fuel created from sunlight and air to enable the rapid decarbonization of the aviation industry. The LOI is subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement.
The companies will work to deploy Heliogen’s proprietary, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered HelioHeat™ technology to convert sunlight directly into thermal energy in the form of high temperature steam and air that will be used to produce green hydrogen for Dimensional Energy’s Reactor platform. The hydrogen will be produced leveraging the previously announced successful demonstration of Heliogen’s concentrated solar technology. As part of the collaboration between Heliogen and Dimensional Energy, the LOI includes a goal of building a fully integrated ~1 barrel per day drop-in ready SAF demonstration. The parties expect a demonstration project to be a first step to develop a pipeline for approximately 3 million barrels of fuel over the next ten years.
2022 Guidance Reaffirmed
Heliogen today also reaffirmed its previously announced 2022 guidance of two to three modules contracted and $20 - $25 million of revenue. Heliogen believes the number of modules contracted is the most useful indicator of demand for its products and technology at this stage in its lifecycle. Over time, Heliogen expects these contracts to be converted to revenue as the projects are installed, although there is no assurance as to the time period for such conversion.
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
For the second quarter 2022, Heliogen reported total revenue of $2.4 million, total operating expenses of $28.7 million and net loss of $20.2 million. Heliogen’s net loss was driven primarily by the growth of Heliogen’s commercial operations which includes increased headcount, non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $11.5 million, and other costs related to being a public company. Heliogen’s Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the non-cash stock-based compensation expense and other impacts, was negative $19.8 million for the second quarter 2022.
Conference Call Information
The Heliogen management team will host a conference call to discuss its second quarter 2022 financial results on Thursday, August 11, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. EDT.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Management uses certain financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our financial and operating performance that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and analysts to assess our ongoing financial performance because they provide improved comparability between periods through the exclusion of certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past financial performance and future prospects, and remove items that may obscure our underlying business results and trends. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Please see the accompanying tables for reconciliations of the following non-GAAP financial measures for Heliogen’s current and historical results: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
