Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and may differ materially from actual results, performance, and/or trends.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined in the SEC rules. 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. Some numbers may not foot due to rounding. 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. As required by Regulation G, we have provided reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release. Bloom Energy 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 Energy’s expectations regarding its 2026 outlook, Bloom Energy is not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP EPS measures to the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items such as stock-based compensation expense. The variability of these items could significantly impact our future U.S. GAAP financial results and we believe that any reconciliation provided would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures

To supplement Bloom Energy condensed consolidated financial statement information presented on a GAAP basis, Bloom Energy provides financial measures including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (non-GAAP earnings from operations), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net profit (non-GAAP net earnings), non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA. Bloom Energy also provides forecasts of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not computed in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP in the United States.

• 
  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP gross profit is gross profit.
  
  


• 
  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP gross margin is gross margin.
  
  


• 
  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP service gross margin is service gross margin.
  
  


• 
  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating income (non-GAAP earnings from operations) is operating income (loss) (earnings (loss) from operations).
  
  


• 
  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating margin is operating margin.
  
  


• 
  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP net profit (non-GAAP net earnings) is net income (loss) (net earnings (loss)).
  
  


• 
  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is diluted earnings (loss) per share.
  
  


• 
  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss).
  
  

Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are included in the tables above or elsewhere in the materials accompanying this news release.

Use and economic substance of non-GAAP financial measures used by Bloom Energy

Non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, including non-GAAP service gross margin, are defined to exclude charges relating to stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, and other charges. Non-GAAP net profit (non-GAAP net earnings) and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share consist of net income (loss) or diluted net income (loss) per share excluding charges relating to net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, (gain) loss on derivative liabilities, debt conversion inducement expense, charges relating to stock-based compensation expense, investments in loss of unconsolidated affiliates, effects of assets buyout and repowering, restructuring charges, and other charges. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest income (expense), income tax provision, depreciation and amortization expense, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, debt conversion inducement expense, investments in loss of unconsolidated affiliates, charges relating to stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, and other charges. Bloom Energy management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of evaluating Bloom Energy’s historical and prospective financial performance, as well as Bloom Energy’s performance relative to its competitors. Bloom Energy believes that excluding the items mentioned above from these non-GAAP financial measures allows Bloom Energy management to better understand Bloom Energy’s consolidated financial performance as management does not believe that the excluded items are reflective of ongoing operating results. More specifically, Bloom Energy management excludes each of those items mentioned above for the following reasons:

• 
  Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest represents allocation to the noncontrolling interests under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method and is associated with the joint venture in the Republic of Korea and the ventures between Brookfield Asset Management and the Company.
  
  


• 
  Stock-based compensation expense consists of equity awards granted based on the estimated fair value of those awards at grant date. Although stock-based compensation is a key incentive offered to our employees, Bloom Energy excludes these charges for the purpose of calculating these non-GAAP measures, primarily because they are non-cash expenses and such an exclusion facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of Bloom Energy current operating performance and comparisons to Bloom Energy operating performance in other periods.
  
  


• 
  Debt conversion inducement expense—represents the incremental cost incurred to encourage noteholders to participate in the debt exchange, which is a non-recurring, non-operating item.
  
  


• 
  Equity-method investment adjustment—include (i) elimination of intra-entity profit on sales to joint ventures formed with Brookfield Asset Management—deferred and recognized over the assets’ depreciable lives—and (ii) the Company’s equity pickup of those joint ventures’ net results under HLBV method. Equity-method investment adjustments are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because these generally are non-cash, represent non-operating activity during the period of adjustment, relate to activity in entities outside of the operational control of the Company, and excluding such expense/gain provides meaningful supplemental information regarding core operations.
  
  


• 
  (Gain) loss on derivatives liabilities represents non-cash adjustments to the fair value of the embedded derivatives.
  
  


• 
  Restructuring charges are represented by severance expense and other costs.
  
  


• 
  Effects of Assets Buyout and Repowering represents net gain on failed sale-and-leaseback transactions due to termination of multiple Managed Services sites, consisting of loss on impairment of related fixed assets offset against gain on extinguishment of debt as a result of derecognition of respective financing obligations adjusted by cash paid for assets buyback.
  
  


• 
  Other represents: (1) site termination costs of $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $0.1 million for three months ended March 31, 2026, three months ended December 31, 2025, and three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively, (2) sales property tax of $0.1 million for March 31, 2026, and (3) immaterial amounts of amortization of acquired intangible assets.
  
  


• 
  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Net Profit before depreciation and amortization expense, income tax provision, interest income (expense), other income, net. 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.
  
  

For more information about these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to non-GAAP Net Profit and Computation of non-GAAP Net Earnings per Share (EPS),” “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA,” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Gross Profit (Loss) and Margin” set forth in this release, which should be read together with the preceding financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Material limitations associated with use of non-GAAP financial measures

These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Bloom Energy results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations in relying on these non-GAAP financial measures are:

• 
  Items such as stock-based compensation expense that is excluded from non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income (non-GAAP earnings from operations), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net profit (non-GAAP net earnings), and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share can have a material impact on the equivalent GAAP earnings measure.
  
  


• 
  Income attributable to noncontrolling interest and (gain) loss on derivatives liabilities, though not directly affecting Bloom Energy’s cash position, represent the (gain) loss in value of certain assets and liabilities. The expense associated with this (gain) loss in value is excluded from non-GAAP net earnings, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and can have a material impact on the equivalent GAAP earnings measure.
  
  


• 
  Other companies may calculate non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP operating profit (non-GAAP earnings from operations), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP service gross margin, non-GAAP net profit (non-GAAP net earnings), non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA differently than Bloom Energy does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
  
  

Compensation for limitations associated with use of non-GAAP financial measures

Bloom Energy compensates for the limitations on its use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement. Bloom Energy also provides a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure within this press release and in other written materials that include these non-GAAP financial measures, and Bloom Energy encourages investors to review those reconciliations carefully.

Usefulness of non-GAAP financial measures to investors

Bloom Energy believes that providing financial measures including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP service gross margin, non-GAAP operating income (non-GAAP earnings from operations), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net profit (non-GAAP net earnings), non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by Bloom Energy management in its financial and operational decision making and allows investors to see Bloom Energy’s results “through the eyes” of management. Bloom Energy further believes that providing this information better enables Bloom Energy investors to understand Bloom Energy’s operating performance and to evaluate the efficacy of the methodology and information used by Bloom Energy management to evaluate and measure such performance. Disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates comparisons of Bloom Energy’s operating performance with the performance of other companies in Bloom Energy’s industry that supplement their GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures that may be calculated in a similar manner.
