					</table><p>Energy storage solutions provider<a href="https://www.eose.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Eos Energy Enterprises</a> reported revenue of $900,000 during the second quarter (Q2) of 2024, a 261% year-over-year (YoY) increase.</p>
<p>Higher component and commissioning revenues drove the revenue growth.</p>
<p>The company reduced its net loss to $28.17 million, a YoY improvement of 78.5% from $131.63 million.</p>
<p>The cost of goods sold was $14.1 million, a 26% YoY increase from the previous year. This increase was primarily due to commissioning costs related to prior period shipments, a Z3 micro-grid demonstration project, and lower labor utilization and overhead absorption.</p>
<p>Other operating expenses totaled $15.8 million, a 33% decrease from the prior-year period.</p>
<p>The company had a cash balance of $52.5 million (excluding $5.1 million in restricted cash) as of June 30, 2024.</p>
<p>Eos terminated its $100 million Senior Secured Term loan for $27 million, resulting in a gain on debt extinguishment of $68.5 million.</p>
<p>The commercial opportunity pipeline increased to $13.8 billion, up nearly $0.5 billion from the first quarter. As of June 30, 2024, the orders backlog was $586.8 million.</p>
<p>During the quarter, Eos expanded its agreement with Indian Energy, adding 25 MWh of storage to the existing 35 MWh order.</p>
<p>Eos recently signed a 960 MWh letter of intent with a solar plus storage integrator and developer, expected to convert to backlog upon customer financial closing.</p>
<p>Joe Mastrangelo, CEO of Eos Energy Enterprises, said, &#8220;The operational momentum behind Project AMAZE continues to build with the strategic investment and partnership with Cerberus and the recent commissioning of our state-of-the-art (SotA) manufacturing line. Having Cerberus as a strategic partner allows us to leverage their extensive expertise and resources, enabling Eos to drive innovation and growth and enhance our market position. We continue to work toward converting our pipeline to firm orders and delivering on our backlog. I am incredibly proud of the entire Eos team for their dedication and commitment to our mission.&#8221;</p>
<p>In June, Eos launched commercial production from its first SotA manufacturing line at its Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania facility. This line is expected to ramp up manufacturing capacity over the next six months to 1.25 GWh of annualized capacity, with plans to expand to 2 GWh with further capital investment.</p>
<p>During the quarter, Eos also entered into tax credit purchase agreements to sell its 2023 and first quarter 2024 production tax credits, receiving $3.4 million in cash. This represents a 10% discount on the value of its credits.</p>
<p>EoS <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/eos-energy-narrows-cuts-direct-material-cost" target="_blank" rel="noopener">narrowed</a> its Q1 2024 net loss by 34.7% to $46.71 from $71.6 million in the same quarter of 2023.</p>

<p>Eos’ revenue from its their “Z3” semi-automated manufacturing line amounted to $6.6 million, a 25% YoY decrease, primarily due to the timing of customer revenue recognition.</p>
<p>The cost of goods sold reached $28.2 million, up 5% YoY, due to a 28% rise in manufacturing volume.</p>
<p>Operating expenses totaled $19.5 million, indicating a 3%YoY decrease compared to the prior year.</p>
<p>As of March 31, 2024, the company maintained a cash balance of $31.8 million, excluding restricted cash.</p>
<p>The commercial opportunity pipeline expanded to $13.3 billion, a 56% YoY increase, with a backlog of $602.7 million.</p>
<p>Eos extended and broadened its existing agreement with Pine Gate Renewables through a new master supply agreement for 500 MWh of energy storage systems to be delivered over the next five years.</p>
<p>The company said a new “Eos Z3” inline cube has been integrated, enhancing the product&#8217;s overall power density in the field. A transition to a lower-cost, higher-energy-density Z3 battery module will help reduce both product and manufacturing costs.</p>
<p>The company was able to meet its goal of achieving a 55% reduction in direct material cost.</p>
<p>Considering the overall market context, the product is believed to contain over 90% U.S. content while meeting cost reduction goals. This alignment allows customers to maximize the benefits of the investment tax credit available under the Inflation Reduction Act.</p>
<p>The company has identified a counterparty with a strong interest in additional tax credits for which all necessary legal documentation has been completed. It expected monetization to occur more quickly each quarter going forward.</p>
<p>Eos Chief Executive Officer Joe Mastrangelo said, “We’ve now shipped over 110 Z3 Cubes to five separate customers since the first shipment in late September. It’s an incredible testament to the work of the entire Eos team, considering that last year we were still manufacturing Gen 2.3 and were yet to launch the Z3. I’m incredibly proud of the work this team has accomplished and where we stand today.”</p>
<p>Eos <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/eos-energys-q4-revenue-surges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> a 148% surge in revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023 to $6.6 million, driven by higher production volumes on the semi-automated manufacturing line for the Z3 Cube.</p>

					</table><p>Energy storage solutions provider<a href="https://www.eose.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Eos Energy Enterprises</a> reported a 148% surge in revenue in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2023 to $6.6 million, driven by higher production volumes on the semi-automated manufacturing line for the Z3 Cube.</p>
<p>The Z3 Cube is a self-contained energy storage system built using the company’s Z3 battery modules and standard shipping containers. It was launched in September last year, helping Eos significantly reduce production cycle times and scrap rates, the company said.</p>
<p>“Eos transitioned its entire manufacturing capacity from Gen 2.3 to the new Eos Z3 Cube. We’ve already begun seeing the anticipated operational benefits associated with the Z3 battery design that provides improved power density along with lower unit costs from its simpler mechanical design,” said CEO Joe Mastrangelo.</p>
<p>The Nasdaq-listed company’s gross margins in Q4 improved by 66% year-over-year (YoY), reflecting the streamlined manufacturing process. Meanwhile, cost of goods sold came in at $30.4 million, while operating costs fell by 10%.</p>
<p>The order backlog stood at $534.8 million as of December 31, 2023, up 15% from a year ago, as commercial demand remained robust. The company said its overall commercial opportunity pipeline surged 77% to $13 billion.</p>
<p><strong>Full Year 2023</strong></p>
<p>Eos reported revenue of $16.4 million for the full year (FY) 2023, down 8.4% from $17.9 million in 2022 as the company transitioned manufacturing to the new Z3 Cube battery system.</p>
<p>However, the cost of goods sold declined sharply by $63.5 million, or 41%, to $89.8 million. This led to significantly improved gross margins driven by lower raw material costs and initial benefits from the Z3 program.</p>
<p>The net loss for 2023 was $229.5 million, nearly unchanged from $229.8 million in the prior year, as higher operating expenses offset improved gross margins.</p>
<p>“There continues to be strong demand signals for longer duration energy storage,” said  Mastrangelo.</p>
<p>He also said that the company is in talks with two large Indian corporations to incorporate its battery storage solutions. Eos is working with the U.S., Italy and Australia to take advantage of long-duration energy storage needs of the countries.</p>
<p>The company <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/eos-q3-revenues-decrease-89-yoy-sales-drop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recorded</a> an 89% drop in revenue in the third quarter as lower sales hurt its top line. In the quarter prior, revenue <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/interest-expense-dents-eos-earnings-q2-23" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fell</a> 96% as the company transitioned to the Eos Z3 battery module.</p>

<p>The cost of goods sold during the April-June quarter totaled $11.2 million, a 69% YoY dip in per unit cost driven by decreased volume related to the shift to the new battery module. It helped narrow the operational losses for the quarter to $34.6 million compared to $57.4 million YoY.</p>
<p>Eos posted a revenue of $200,000, a decrease of 96% YoY as the company transitions to next-generation Eos Z3 battery module.</p>
<p>Eos Chief Executive Officer Joe Mastrangelo said, &#8220;We have made significant progress on our transition to Z3. I am very pleased with the initial output and performance of the semi-automated line. We are seeing clear advantages with Z3&#8217;s cycle time, performance consistency, and system simplification. Being able to run discrete manufacturing processes in the first half of the year has resulted in valuable learnings which we believe will result in both time and capital efficiencies as we develop our state-of-the-art manufacturing line and begin to scale our production.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Half year</strong></p>
<p>Eos&#8217; net loss for the first half of 2023 widened to $203.2 million compared to $102.5 million YoY, mainly due to higher interest and other expenses.</p>
<p>The company posted revenue of $9.1 million during the January-June period, a marginal decrease of 1% YoY.</p>
<p>Eos booked $86.9 million (representing 349 MWh) in orders during the first half of 2023, resulting in an order backlog of $533.6 million (representing 2.2 GWh) as of June 30, 2023, a 17% YoY increase.</p>
<p>Mastrangelo added, &#8220;There is still a lot of hard work ahead of us, and we are excited to build out our future manufacturing line and continue the Z3 transition to deliver, at scale, what the market needs so severely – a commercially available alternative to lithium-ion technology that we believe is safe, durable, flexible, non-flammable, non-corrosive and easily recycled.</p>
<p>In April this year, the company announced a $40 million registered direct offering and concurrent private placement. The company entered into a definitive agreement to purchase and sell an aggregate of 16,000,000 shares of the company’s common stock at a purchase price of $2.50 per share in a registered direct offering. It had also agreed to issue unregistered warrants in a concurrent private placement to purchase up to 16,000,000 shares of common stock.</p>
<p>Eos&#8217; net loss <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/interest-expense-from-lower-cost-of-goods-sold" target="_blank" rel="noopener">widened</a> to $71.6 million in Q1 2023 compared to $45.8 million YoY. Eos posted a 168% YoY increase in revenue at $8.8 million for the January-March period, primarily fueled by 208 MWh of total shipments of its new products for the Pine Gate Eastover system.</p>

<p>The company recorded a revenue of $17.9 million for the year, up 289% from $4.6 million in 2021, driven by record 258 energy blocks of 129 MWh capacity as of December 2022. Eos said it discharged 836.9 MWh of energy in the year, up 102% compared to 415 MWh in FY 2021.</p>
<p>The revenue growth was due to a 230% rise in the costs of goods sold in 2022, at $153.6 million compared to $46.5 million in 2021.</p>
<p>CEO Mastrangelo said, “Heading into 2023, we believe we are in one of the strongest positions in our company’s history as we continue to see a shift in the demand for longer-duration energy storage. The passage of the IRA and our progression through the Department of Energy loan due diligence phase provides the growth catalysts to expand our increasingly commercially viable technology.”</p>
